Chapter 13: Drawing a scoop according to the gourd
Since the opening of the Zuixian Building, for half a month, the people who come to the Zuixian Building only rise and not fall, the crowd is endless, some dignitaries and nobles send their own people to the Zuixian Building early in the morning to reserve a seat, occupy a seat, so as not to have a seat to eat. And the Juxian Building diagonally opposite the Zuixian Building, compared with the crowd of the Zuixian Building, the Juxian Building is extremely bleak, since the opening of the Zuixian Building, there are few guests in the Juxian Building
Occasionally, one or two guests made the shopkeeper happy, but before he was happy, the guest's next sentence directly knocked him into the ice cellar
"Shopkeeper, do you have any drinks made with Drunken Immortal House here? Fruit juice, and that rock sugar pear? ”
"I'm sorry, we don't have these," the shopkeeper of Juxian Building said politely
"Without these things, what kind of restaurant do you want to open" When the guest heard the words of the shopkeeper, his face suddenly changed, and then he flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Drunken Immortal Building
"It's... This.." The shopkeeper of Juxian Lou watched as he was originally a guest of his own house, but he walked into his rival store... This breath ah... Can't swallow it. So the shopkeeper immediately walked up to the second floor, wanting to find his son and tell his son about it. I didn't expect the shopkeeper to just push open the door of the shopkeeper.. Directly stunned.. This.. I saw in front of me a picture of a spring palace with a vivid spring fragrance, isn't that woman a new cook? How could it be here.. And.. The shopkeeper didn't expect such a scene at all, and was completely stunned and didn't react for a long time.
"Ahh The woman in the room turned around and found the shopkeeper standing at the door, and immediately exclaimed
"Ah Cai, what are you doing standing at the door, why don't you close the door and get out" The man's angry voice came from inside the room.
"Shopkeeper, I... I..."Ah Cai saw that his son-in-law was angry, and he was at a loss
"Get out of here and close the door"
"Yes.. Be.. It was "Ah Cai hurriedly closed the door, and the moment the door closed, Ah Cai only had "It's over, it's time to disturb the son's good deeds" Ah Cai walked back and forth uneasily outside the door.
"Squeak" The door opened again, and the woman ran out directly just now, and when she saw Ah Cai outside, she hurriedly covered her face with her clothes and hurriedly ran downstairs
"I did that kind of thing, and I was afraid that others would see it, so shameless, phew" Ah Cai saw the woman's movements and spit on the ground
"Ah Cai, come in" came from the man's faint voice inside
"Yes, Childe" Ah Cai heard Childe's words, quickly pushed open the door and walked in.
"Childe, I.. I didn't mean to," Ah Choi bowed his head uneasily
"It's okay, sit down quickly, come, sit down" The man's gentle expression seemed to be the opposite of the violent appearance just now
"Tell me, what's the matter," the man said, taking a sip of his tea, as if nothing had happened just now
"That's right, since the Qinxiangju opposite us was converted into a drunken immortal building and reopened, our business has not been good."
"Oh, how many days have they been open now?"
"It's been two days since it opened"
"It's okay, the customers are fresh, and after a few days, their freshness will pass, and naturally our business will rise"
"But..."Ah Cai wanted to say something, but the man directly interrupted Ah Cai's words
"You go down first, I'll find a way in this regard" Ah Cai looked at his shopkeeper helplessly, and then retreated, after half a month, the business of Zuixianlou was as hot, and the man couldn't sit still.
"Ah Cai, what do you say about this drunken immortal building? It's been as good as half a month."
"Shopkeeper, I heard that Zuixian Lou seems to have designed a menu, coupons, and some juices and drinks, which is why it is so attractive."
"You kid, why didn't you say it earlier, then we will also learn from them, how they do it, we will do it"
"How do you learn it? Childe" Ah Cai looked at the man in confusion
"You're stupid, find a few people to secretly pretend to be guests and go in to learn"
"Yes. Be. Yes, or is Childe smart"
"That's not it, you don't want to see who your son is?" When the man heard Ah Cai's words, he smiled proudly
"Okay, you hurry up and arrange"
"Yes, Childe"
"Miss Su Jin, they have taken action," Xiao Lizi walked up to Su Jin and whispered to Su Jin
"Oh? Is it? When did you act? Su Jin, who was concentrating on chopping vegetables, raised his head to look at Xiao Lizi, and then continued to cut vegetables with his head down
"Just now, the waiter found it while serving the food"
"Oh, it's okay, let them watch if they want to see it, there are some things that can't be learned anyway"
"Is that all right?" Xiao Lizi asked suspiciously
"Well, it's okay, you let them learn it, see if they can learn it" Su Jin heard the doubts in Xiao Lizi's words, put down the kitchen knife, and raised his head to look at Xiao Lizi
"The reason why I asked your son to find a reliable person is that I am afraid that some people will leak it, since now our people are our own people, of course our own people will not leak out, since our own people have not leaked out, even if there are more people to learn from us, they are just painting a scoop according to the gourd, and the essence of it cannot be studied.
So don't worry, as long as no one leaks it, they can't study it, and they can't make our taste."
"Well, no wonder Miss Su Jin asked for someone who must be credible, so it turned out to be like this."
"Of course," Su Jin smiled knowingly
"How can your stupid brain melon seeds be compared to Su Jin's head," Zhong Lichen tapped Xiao Lizi's head with a fan
"Childe, my head is stupid enough, don't hit me in the head" Xiao Lizi held his head, turned his head, and looked at Zhong Lichen with great grievance
"You're so stupid anyway, a few more hits won't affect anything"
"....." Xiao Lizi had no choice but to hold his head silently, looking at Zhong Lichen with extremely desolate eyes, looking so pitiful
"You kid, you're still pretending to be pitiful" Zhong Lichen saw Xiao Lizi's pitiful appearance at a glance.
"Oh, Childe, don't fight, don't fight" Xiao Lizi hurriedly ran out with his head in his hands, Zhong Lichen looked at Xiao Lizi who ran out, and then looked at Su Jin who was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, Su Jin looked at Zhong Lichen.
"You and Xiao Lizi should have a good relationship, the two of you don't seem to be much different in age"
"Well, Xiao Lizi is my grandmother's child, three years older than me, and then my mother passed away, so my mother left Xiao Lizi. I used to call him my name, but Xiao Lizi obeyed his mother's will and has been serving me as the Lord, I said him many times, but he never changed it, and after a long time, I also let him call me like this"
"I see," Su Jin nodded thoughtfully
"I envy you"
"What envy me? I still envy you" Zhong Lichen was suddenly stunned for a moment when he heard Su Jin's words, and then thought of his mother, and couldn't help but laugh at himself
"No matter what you've lost, Little Plum is always there for you, isn't it? I'm different, at least I can't even find my way back."
"Life in the world, living is to be happy, even if you think about the things before, some things are lost, you can never come back, the most important thing now is to live happily, isn't it?" Su Jin caught a touch of self-deprecation in Zhong Lichen's eyes, and knew in his heart that something must have happened to Zhong Lichen, and when he said this, he would show such a look. Su Jin doesn't like to dig up the secrets in other people's hearts
Since Zhong Lichen didn't say it, Su Jin couldn't break it, so Su Jin could only turn around and comfort Zhong Lichen, whether Zhong Lichen understood the meaning of Su Jin's words, that was Zhong Lichen's matter. Su Jin picked up the kitchen knife and continued to cut the vegetables, Zhong Lichen heard Su Jin's words, and suddenly his heart was mixed, and he couldn't tell what it was like. After a long time, Zhong Lichen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
"Thank you, Su Jin" Zhong Lichen said this, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, Su Jin heard Zhong Lichen's words, looked up at the back of Zhong Lichen leaving, shook his head, and then continued to cut vegetables
"Shopkeeper, all the people sent out are back"
"Oh? Is it? Hurry up and call them over" The man sitting on the chair heard Ah Cai's words and immediately stood up
"Good"
"See Zhuo Wenzhou's son" Ah Cai walked into the man's house with the four people, and the four of them quickly knelt down and saluted the man
"Hurry up, tell me, what have you found?" A muscial-looking man stepped forward
"Young Master Zhuo, the food cooked in this Drunken Immortal Building is indeed much more delicious than the one made before, and I estimate that the food in the Drunken Immortal Building in the capital is the most delicious, and there are those drinks researched by the Drunken Immortal Building, we have never seen it.." When Zhuo Wenzhou heard this, his expression became more and more gloomy, but the sturdy man didn't feel Zhuo Wenzhou's gloomy face, and the person standing next to the sturdy man saw that Zhuo Wenzhou's face was getting more and more gloomy, and hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the sturdy man
And the sturdy man didn't know what to do, turned around and shouted angrily at the person who pulled his sleeve: "What are you pulling my sleeve for?" ”
"That's enough," Zhuo Wenzhou slapped his palm on the table.
"I didn't invite you to Drunken Immortal Mansion to eat and drink, what information do I want you to investigate? You just asked me to find out and say that the best food in the capital is the Drunken Immortal Building, so what is my Juxian Building? Then what do I, Zhuo Wenzhou, ask you to do with this group of wastes that eat and don't work? Get out of here."
"Childe, you dissipate your anger" Ah Cai saw that his master was angry, and hurriedly ran over to pour a cup of tea for Zhuo Wenzhou, but unexpectedly, as soon as Ah Cai walked over, Zhuo Wenzhou slapped him and slapped Ah Cai in the face, pointing at Ah Cai and scolding, Ah Cai quickly knelt down when he saw this
"Kneel, if something happens, you know to kneel, you dog thing, usually give you good food and clothing, look at you, what kind of people are you looking for me, waste who takes money and doesn't work" Zhuo Wenzhou kicked Ah Cai's body one by one, and Ah Cai silently endured it silently. Zhuo Wenzhou stopped suddenly, then picked up Ah Cai and asked in a concerned tone
"Ah Cai, what's wrong with you? Who hit you? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I fell it myself" Ah Cai slowly stood up, still with an uncontrollable embarrassment
"Ah Cai, isn't it..."Zhuo Wenzhou just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ah Cai
"Childe, I'm fine, nothing happened just now, the four of them are invited to go out to find out the news of the Drunken Immortal Building" Ah Cai gave the four of them a look
"Zhuo Gongzi, this is indeed Ah Cai's own fall" The sturdy man just now saw Ah Cai's eyes and hurriedly spoke
"Yes, Zhuo Gongzi," the other three also hurriedly echoed
"Okay" Zhuo Wenzhou saw the expressions of the four people, although he felt that there was something suspicious, but he didn't ask much.
"Table boy, although we can't make it exactly the same taste as Zuixianlou, but we can imitate it, the same business model as them, and the discount coupons they get, aren't they discounted? We're going to give it a four-fold discount," a scholar-looking man stepped forward and said
"Will this work?" Zhuo Wenzhou heard the scholar's words and asked
"Whether it works or not, I can only try it like this, but I can't find a way anymore"
"Well, okay, then let's do it like this first, you go down and arrange it, if the research comes out, you can rest assured that there will be a reward"
"Okay, then thank you Zhuo Gongzi, then let's retire first" The four of them said and walked out, and Ah Cai hurriedly spoke when he saw this
"Childe, I'll send them off."
"Well, okay, go ahead, be careful"
"This Zhuo Gongzi is sick, you didn't see him like that just now, it's just a pity for Ah Cai"
"yes"
"yes.." Just as the four of them were whispering about Zhuo Wenzhou, Ah Cai's voice came from behind the four of them
"I advise the four of you to treat this incident today as if it didn't happen," the four of them hurriedly turned around
"Ah Cai, you treat you like this, you also..."
"I'm still the same sentence, I advise the four of you to treat today's incident as if it didn't happen, presumably you know who our son-in-law's father is, and whose wife our son-in-law's sister is today, I hope you'd better keep this matter a secret, otherwise, if I know that one of you chews on the root of your tongue, you should think about the consequences."
"Yes. Yes., Ah Cai, don't worry, we won't leak it out even if we die" When the four of them heard Ah Cai's words, they suddenly thought of Zhuo Wenzhou's background, and the four of them all shuddered, and then nodded again and again, swearing. Seeing the expressions of the four, Ah Cai nodded with satisfaction
"Well, that's for the best"
"Ah Cai, then the four of us will leave first"
"Okay" The four of them received Ah Cai's reply, and hurriedly slipped away, for fear that Ah Cai would regret it and leave themselves
