Chapter 42: A New Opponent

Zhu Yuan called them again, and Zhu Fang came to taste the new dishes together, and after everyone praised them, Zhu Yuan put down his heart.

Que Huan ate happily, and unintentionally mentioned it: "The girl has developed a new dish, why don't you invite the prince to try it?" The prince's mouth is much more professional than ours. ”

The one who ran the hall also echoed: "Yes, a few days ago, I saw Uncle Cao next to the prince come to our store to see if we have opened the door, I must have stayed in the capital for a long time and missed the taste of our store." ”

Zhu Yuan's expression froze, slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at the two of them.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and the people present didn't know what was wrong with Zhu Yuan, but they didn't dare to ask anything when they saw her face.

Seeing this, Zhu Fang just wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Zhu Yuan suddenly said: "The prince can't eat anything delicious in the capital, we are a small fish restaurant, and it hasn't reached that point yet." ”

The others looked at each other and muttered in a low voice, "Doesn't the prince love to eat our fish the most?" As long as the prince says what new dishes are good, it will be no problem. ”

Que Huan hurriedly stabbed the runaway with his elbow, shook his head and motioned for him to stop talking.

Zhu Yuan took a breath, put on a smiling face, and took the initiative to add some food to everyone at the table: "Anyway, it's almost time for dinner, let's have a full meal together, and we will reopen tomorrow!" ”

The unpleasantness just now was swept away, and the guys were encouraged to eat with laughter.

The next day, Zhu Yuan arrived at the store early, and after cooking a batch of new dishes including flying dragon fish in the mainland, he asked the guys to shout at the door.

Because of what happened before, Zhujia Fish Restaurant has attracted a lot of attention in the city, although no one dares to come to eat anymore, but every time you pass by, you will still look sideways twice.

Today's reopening with great fanfare, many passing neighbors gathered around in pairs to talk, but no one entered the store.

Zhu Yuan was not discouraged, lined up the new dishes in front of the store, waved his hand and asked the guys to be quiet.

"Neighbors, Zhujia Fish Restaurant has experienced a misunderstanding before and delayed the opening of the store, today, we specially bring the new dish 'Flying Dragon Fish' to reopen, and I hope you can join the show!"

As soon as these words came out, onlookers stretched out their heads to look at a dish with a unique shape placed in the center. The flying dragon fish was first fried and shaped by Zhu Yuan, and from a distance, it really looked like a little dragon Lingyuntian.

A breeze blew, sending the aroma of the dish to the noses of the onlookers, and everyone swallowed their index fingers.

But no one came forward.

Zhu Yuan was not in a hurry, and eloquently told the onlookers how he "discovered" the flying dragon fish and how he made this dish.

Of course, she would certainly not say that she had fished it out of the fishing space, but would have made up a story.

"A few days after I was imprisoned, I had a dream in which a huge fish spoke to me, saying that I would soon be framed by a traitor, and that the only way to avoid disaster was to find it. I didn't believe it at the time, and when I woke up, I didn't look for it, but everyone found out and I was arrested and put in jail. When I came out, I immediately went to look for it, and I really found the same thing, which was this flying dragon fish. ”

In ancient times, most people were superstitious, and Zhu Yuan added a bit of mystery to the origin of this flying dragon fish.

Zhu Yuan thought about these words all night and said them very cleverly.

On the one hand, it implies that she was caught in prison because of a traitor, and on the other hand, it also adds a function of avoiding disaster to the flying dragon fish.

Everyone listened to the discussion louder, and finally, a local old man with considerable prestige stepped forward and said, "Since Miss Zhu said this flying dragon fish so mysteriously, the old man will come and taste it." ”

Zhu Yuan hurriedly handed over the chopsticks, and the old man tasted a piece of fish, and his face changed.

After savoring it, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, according to me, this dish is comparable to 'Green Dragon in the Sky'!" ”

'Green Dragon in the Sky' is already a first-class delicacy in the eyes of Huainan people, and the old man said this is a great compliment to the flying dragon fish.

"Let's try it, everybody." The old man turned his head and called on everyone, stepped into the store first, and ordered a table of dishes.

With the first person entering the store, the people behind them don't have so many worries, and besides, they've been standing there for a long time.

Zhu Fang saw that the store was full again, and the sorrow between his eyebrows was swept away.

Zhu Yuan didn't care about being happy, and after explaining to the guys to take care of the guests, he went to the back kitchen and got busy.

Every table of guests present today ordered a flying dragon fish, almost sixty plates, and by the time the last plate was reached, there were no more fish.

After the meal, the guests praised and left the hotel.

After counting today's turnover, Que Huan happily said to everyone: "Today we earned another hundred taels of silver, it seems that we will have to make more flying dragon fish in the future, so that we can earn more!" ”

Zhu Yuan shook his head and disagreed.

"It's not unusual for the flying dragon fish to do more, why do you see our 'Green Dragon in the Sky' is so famous? Because of the scarcity, only people who are willing to spend a lot of money and have status can afford to order this dish, so the flying dragon fish can't make so much. ”

She raised the price of the flying dragon fish, and stipulated that only 50 dragon fish were sold every day, and if you wanted to eat, you had to pay a deposit one day in advance to set a place, and the next day you could get the food with the coupon.

This rationing also makes it easier for her to decide how much to catch each day without causing waste.

After the new regulations were posted outside the store, the number of people who came to eat Flying Dragon Fish did not decrease but increased, and when the Flying Dragon Fish meal coupons were distributed every evening, there was always a long queue at the entrance of the fish restaurant.

After the fifty meal coupons were distributed, Que Huan put out a "sold out" sign, and the people behind couldn't buy it even if the price was increased.

The fish restaurant has been so popular for several days, but in the next few days, Zhu Yuan found that there were fewer and fewer people day by day, and the familiar faces who came every day did not come in the past few days.

She was a little puzzled, just a regular customer passing by the fish restaurant hurriedly walked forward, she stopped the person, stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you come to dinner for a few days, is there anything going on recently?" ”

That Uncle Wang is a cheerful person, and he confessed directly to Zhu Yuan: "Haven't you heard of Miss Zhu, a new restaurant has opened at the end of the street, and all the meals there are free of charge these days, and the dishes are delicious, many people in our city have gone to eat, but it is lively!" ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry, saying that there was no place after he went.

"What? This restaurant is also too generous, and it is actually free to eat, thanks to it! Hearing Zhu Yuan say this, Que Huan couldn't help but be amazed.

She'd never seen anyone do this before, and she had paid a lot of money.

"Then what can we do with our fish restaurant, why don't we let them eat for free for a few days?" The proposal of the running hall.

Que Huan patted the back of his head and blamed: "Our store finally earned so much silver, and the girl still has to use it to open a new restaurant, where can she withstand such a toss?" ”
