Chapter 456: The Deli Reopens
Although Lin Zheng was reluctant in every way, there was no other good way at present, so he had to settle for it, and he later mourned that you Shi embroidered four small flags with red characters on a blue background according to the appearance on the small takeaway package, and hung them on the front of the car, so that every time a meal is delivered, people can see the word Mei Ji in the wind from a distance.
Du Ying has been accompanying Du Mei, who is seriously ill, and now that she has come back to Dujiagou, the saltwater duck naturally can't be made, and now only the chef who makes duck dishes is still there, so Dong Chang took the initiative to change the small façade into a kitchen with half of it, only doing takeout, not dine-in.
The fat cook wrote a letter and told Song Jiu, who was far away in Huizhou, about the changes in Mei Ji, and when he received the letter and rushed over, most of the months had passed, and Du Mei had returned to Dujiagou to recuperate.
The patrol camp and the Ningzhou Mansion ended the inquest of the scene of Meiji, when the manpower was withdrawn, Shen Zhanghua handed over to Song Jiu, in the face of the seriously burned restaurant, Du Mei was not there, Song Jiu could only discuss with Ye Dan, in the end, the two decided to demolish the building and rebuild, Lin Dai hid in the attic on the third floor of the calligraphy and painting, guqin chess pieces and jade treasures to play, all taken out.
Rebuilding Mei Ji is a big expense, Ye Dan's Luo Mei Xuan business is in full swing in Jiangling City, underwear and custom outerwear in spring and summer continue to be popular, the daily income is amazing, the money has already been earned, and Du Mei's dividends are even as much as Mei Ji.
Because of Mei Ji's booming business, Song Jiu's dividends have also risen, although he is far away in Huizhou, but Du Mei will let Lin Dai deposit the dividend money in his name every month.
The Song family's family industry in Huizhou was supported by Song Yuanshan, and Song Jiu slowly put more than a dozen commercial banks and restaurants on the verge of bankruptcy on the right track, operating in good faith day by day, filling the previous deficit and starting to make money. Therefore, at this time, Song Jiu could stay in Jiangling City to take care of Mei Ji's affairs without any worries.
Ye Dan invited the master of Tianchan Temple to open the altar in the ruins of Meiji and did a seven-day puja to get rid of evil spirits and subdue demons. After that, he began to demolish and rebuild the building.
Mei Ji takeaway reappeared on the street three days after the incident, Mei Ji people are holding their breath, for themselves, for Du Mei, they do things with their hearts, seeing Mei Ji Restaurant rising from the ground day by day, there is more hope in their hearts.
They live like the grass that grows again in the spring breeze after the wildfire in the countryside, tenacious and tenacious, and has experienced the ordeal of the destruction of Mei Kee, but has not let them fall apart, but is more united and trusting of their companions than before.
Such an ending was really unexpected by Chu Zhan, especially the Mei Ji Restaurant, which was once again rebuilt with a huge amount of money after Du Mei fell, and stood in front of the world with a new look day by day.
He was angry, angry, and even more crazy and unscrupulous!
Just more than ten days ago, the Xiangmanlou on the Royal Street was suddenly changed to Meiji Restaurant, and there were more than ten children in Tsing Yi on the street, all carrying small bags and holding menus in their hands, shouting all over the street, "Meiji takeaway, delicious and cheap!" ”
This is completely plagiarized from Du Mei's takeaway form, and it also engages in low-price competition, the most hateful thing is that this Meiji takeaway and Meiji takeaway have different sounds, and the names of many dishes are also very different.
The maids and women who came out to order food, where did they think that someone was fishing in troubled waters, and they beckoned the child to come with them, and the menu was very similar to Mei Ji's, and the servants did not distinguish whether it was Mei Ji or Mei Ji, and they ordered it by themselves, and handed over the errand.
And the taste of those dishes is too much worse than the dishes of Mei Ji, the servants will not admit that they are mistaken, and the diners naturally complain about Mei Ji, the big shopkeeper has an accident, and the dishes are not done well, and gradually, there are fewer and fewer people who order.
Mei Ji not only imitated Mei Ji dishes, Bai Sheng also used all means to coerce and coerce the tavern restaurant that originally cooperated with Mei Ji, and switched to Mei Ji takeaway, those merchants were afraid of the power of Shu Wangfu, so they could only agree against their will.
As a result, even Zhang Sanniang of Chunjiang Restaurant also switched to Meiji, and Meiji takeaway only left Meiji's own few orders and dishes from Zuixianlou, and the takeaway business plummeted, making ends meet, and now it has reached a state where it has to be maintained by sticking money inside.
Song Jiu broke his leg to discuss with the original merchant, but the other party either shirked or disappeared, and the helpless Song Jiu originally planned to reduce the price and confront Meiji, but Zuixianlou was a century-old store, Qiao Shouzheng resolutely refused, and Ye Dan did not approve of the price reduction in order to maintain the quality and reputation of Meiji duck dishes.
At present, the restaurant has not yet been built, Mei Ji only has the takeaway this one input, and this is the only source of income, deducting the cost of dishes, the wages of the cooks, and the rest are in the takeaway.
Song Jiu is anxious every day, thinking about it, there is no good way, the so-called open source and throttling, since Meiji takeaway must exist even if it is posted for money, then it has to open up new economic sources to make up for the shortfall.
Du Mei is not here, duck dishes have not launched new dishes for a long time, all Song Jiu can think of is the closed Mei Ji delicatessen, because in addition to Du Mei, Du Ying will make duck lo-mei, so today he mourned Ye Dan came with him.
After Ye Dan finished talking about this, Song Jiu looked at the person who was asleep and said with a crying voice: "Meizi, wake up quickly, Mei Ji can't do without you!" ”
"Boom......" The person on the bed suddenly let out a snort like a mosquito.
"Mer!"
"Ame!"
"Plum!"
……
Although the voice was low, it was like a Sanskrit voice outside the sky, and everyone called out in surprise, and Chu Lin couldn't help but pounce on the side of the bed.
But it was only a fleeting thing, as if the sound was just an illusion, and Du Mei showed no sign of waking up.
"I'll take a look." Zhong Yu grabbed it, twisted the silver needle on Du Mei's head, and looked at his eyelids again, but finally just shook his head and retreated to the side.
"Doctor Zhong, is she waking up?" Chu Lin rolled his eyes and asked expectantly.
"It's hard to say, but it's always a good sign, maybe it's because the decoction and your internal force drive away the cold, or maybe it's because of the stimulation of the needle, or as they say, Mei Ji is her hard work, inseparable from her, and the news about Mei Ji can stimulate her desire to survive even more." Du Mei's illness is really rare, and Zhong Yu has never encountered it, whether it is diagnosis and treatment or judgment, he can only cross the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time, and he is not completely sure.
"Mei'er is already like this, I can't let Du Ying go to Gangneung City anymore!" Xu Shi covered his mouth and sobbed softly.
"Auntie, I guarantee Sakurako's safety with my life!" Song Jiu turned around and knelt down on one knee with his robe.
"What are you doing here? Why are you forcing me like this? Xu reached out to pull him, and tears fell.
"Song Jiu, don't embarrass your aunt, Luo Meixuan can afford to take Mei Ji takeaway!" Ye Dan stomped his foot, his parents died early, and he couldn't see Xu's sadness the most.
"What Meizi wants is not a takeaway shell that exists in name only, how can she be picked up by that Li Ghost for nothing, fake and replaced, I am not convinced, and I am not reconciled!" Song Jiu got up from the ground and said with his neck stalked.
"Mother, I am willing to go to Jiangling City to do lo-mei, those wicked people ruined the eldest sister, and they want to occupy the business that the eldest sister has done with great difficulty, you can rest assured, with Xiaoqi accompanying me, it will be fine, she is very capable." Du Ying hugged Xu Shi and said in a hoarse voice.
"Your sister is already like this, I don't know whether I live or die, if you are a little bit bad, under Jiuquan, how can I see your father!" Xu wiped away his tears.
"Auntie, what the second sister said is right, I can protect her." Xiao Qi hugged Xu on the other side, like a kitten, and rubbed his face against her.
"You two ......" Xu Shi couldn't speak, only tears flowed in tears.
"Auntie, if Du Ying goes to Jiangling City, I will never let Amei's incident happen to her, I promise!" Murong Xi didn't speak, and at this time, he made a solemn promise.
"Me too!" Chu Lin straightened his spine, although his words were short, they were loud.
"Sister, Meizi may really have a sense of Mei Ji, since there are so many heavy guarantees, you might as well let Du Ying try it." Zhong Yu couldn't help but persuade too.
"Meizi, you're embarrassed!" Xu Shi looked at Du Mei on the bed and said quietly.
……
After five days, the Xu family still couldn't resist Du Ying, so he had to tell Xiao Qi to accompany him to Jiangling City.
In the past five days, Murong Xi personally commanded people to strengthen and raise the shops on the docks, and put tantric masters on the periphery, while Chu Lin let Shi directly move in with two fierce dogs, and many secret guards changed shifts from time to time.
When the fresh fragrance of saltwater duck wafted in the autumn white morning light again, the old customers on the dock smelled the fragrance, and there were not many polite greetings, still only a duck leg or a duck breast, as if the Mei Kee delicatessen had never been closed.
Song Jiu made full preparations for the reappearance of duck lo-mei, and Murong Xi's Beijing tabloid did three days of publicity, which once again successfully awakened the diners' memories of deliciousness, so in front of the small gate of Yujie, the grand occasion of queuing up to buy salted duck and snacks was reproduced.
Seeing this situation, Song Jiu launched a new menu for ordering and delivering snacks in time, and the orders for Meiji takeaway began to surge, flying like snowflakes, and Lin Zheng and Xiaoli, who were busy again, finally smiled.
But some people can't laugh, and even get angry.
Du Mei's belly was already very big, but she was still punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures, and Chu Zhan strictly ordered her not to write a hundred sheets, and she was not allowed to get up to eat and sleep.
How could Chu Zhan not be angry, he had been planning for so long, and he saw that Mei Ji was about to be defeated by him, but he didn't expect that he would resurrect with the help of duck lo-mei, and this stupid woman in order to make more private money, the ingredients were shoddy, and she reversed the good situation of takeaway, so that Mei Ji takeaway could fight back and snatch away the source of customers in one fell swoop.
In the main courtyard house, the doors and windows are closed, the curtains are low, Chu Zhan has fallen the root of the disease in Shudi, every time the autumn wind rises, he will have a rash on his face, and it is really scary to look at, so the emperor sympathized with him, not only sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, but also exempted him from the errand of going to the court.
"Master, it's no wonder that Mrs., only that Song Jiu is really cunning, there are a lot of bad ideas, besides, this is not a bad deal, Song Jiu is staying overnight in Luo Meixuan, it is difficult for us to kill him, but it is not easy to kill a girl, we hurt Du Mei at the beginning, and naturally we can kill her sister, I want to see how many sisters she has enough to kill!" In the main room, Bai Sheng, who had a pale face, bowed down and stood aside, and said with a sad smile.
