Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Hot Business
At this moment, it is not yet dawn, how can Song Yu rest assured that Gu Liuxi is walking alone on the road?
If there is an ox cart, you can also let Gu Liuxi take the ox cart first, but along the way, the several ox carts I met were full, and some people went to the town to sell things on purpose, occupying a lot of space in the ox cart, although it cost a few pennies more, but it was worth it.
Gu Liuxi is not afraid of delaying the sale of braised meat, anyway, there will not be many people in the restaurant early in the morning, and the best time for business is at noon and evening, just arrive before that. It's just that she is worried that someone with a heart will see something and come to her for trouble.
For example, forcing her to hand over the lo-mei recipe, robbing her of lo-mei, and even locking her up and forcing her to make braised pork every day, without freedom and human rights.
It's not that Gu Liuxi has paranoia of being killed, the laws of this era are not perfect enough, as long as you have money, you can reverse black and white, just like Wang Gongzi and his original wife, isn't it a living example? If you are targeted by the wicked, it is really a day that the earth is not spiritual, and you don't know how to die.
Before he became stronger, Gu Liuxi didn't want to be overexposed, and making a fortune in a muffled voice was the last word.
The four of them stopped and stopped, and finally arrived in town long after dawn. The braised pork is packed in wooden barrels, and the fragrance does not easily waft out once the lid is covered, but the streets are densely crowded, and you can still smell the rich aroma of meat when you get a little closer, and many people follow the four people to see what it is.
Song Yuchao's two younger brothers winked, and then said to Gu Liuxi: "You go to Jiashan Tower first, and we will enter through the back door." ”
"Okay, be careful."
"Got it." The three men pushed the cart into the lane, and Gu Liuxi swaggered to Jiashan Tower.
Although it was still early, the shopkeeper of Jiashan Building was already guarding the door, and when he saw Gu Liuxi, he immediately greeted him, and said loudly: "My little aunt, you are here, what about that thing?" Don't say no, I've told the diners that they're coming to eat meat today. ”
Gu Liuxi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, if you have anything to say, you are surrounded by such people outside, and you are not afraid of being heard." ”
Shopkeeper Wang suddenly realized, if you let people in other restaurants know that the braised meat he has here is provided by Gu Liuxi, then won't he rob people?
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly took Gu Liuxi to the inner courtyard, and Gu Liuxi said: "My father-in-law and my brother-in-law pushed the braised meat through the back door, and you just asked the second brother to pick it up." ”
The king's shopkeeper hurriedly ordered him to go down, and then he took out another bag.
"This is the division of the first two days, brother and sister, you count."
Gu Liuxi checked it, put the silver bag back in his pocket, and said, "What else to count?" Brother Wang, don't you and I believe it? ”
"Hahaha, brother and sister are refreshing, come, my brother will toast you with tea instead of wine, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Gu Liuxi responded with a smile.
Lo mei was delivered, and the kitchen was busy. The kitchens put the lo-mei slices on the plate, skillfully and neatly, and then put one or two green leaves and safflower as decorations, so that the unsightly braised meat suddenly became high-end, and Gu Liuxi was ashamed of himself.
Seeing that the kitchen was overcrowded, Gu Liuxi didn't go in, stood outside and said, "Brother Wang, in addition to braised pork, how are braised lotus root slices and peanuts selling?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang laughed, "My brother and sister don't know, these vegetarian dishes are not sold alone, but given away." ”
Regardless of whether there is a little bit of lo-mei, as long as each table consumes more than 100 wen, you will get a plate of braised peanuts or braised lotus root slices, and consume more than 500 wen to send braised duck gizzards and braised chicken wings, as well as braised duck neck and braised duck feet, etc., so that diners who can't afford to eat braised meat can also try it, and diners also praise the restaurant's generosity and pride, and the business is even better.
Gu Liuxi also agrees with this method, after all, the braised meat is as high as dozens of dollars a catty, and there are really not many guests who can afford it, and the braised chicken wings and braised duck neck are not expensive.
Before the meal arrived, there were already many diners waiting in Jiashan Building, and there were even more heroic guests who ordered five catties of braised pork in one go, and everyone at the table looked at the direction of the kitchen, waiting for the braised meat to be served.
Song Yu was helping to burn the fire and chop vegetables in the kitchen, and the two Li brothers were also busy serving dishes and delivering water, so Gu Liuxi sat alone and watched them.
It is said that the man who is serious is the most handsome, Gu Liuxi feels that Song Yu, who does things quietly, is also very handsome, he has sharp hands and feet and skillful movements, no worse than the kitchens, and the scar on his face has gradually faded, it seems that it is not as hideous as before, and when she insists on applying medicine to him, the scar can be faded by at least two-thirds in a few months, leaving only shallow traces on the face, which can never be seen if you don't look carefully.
Speaking of which, I have to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine later, Song Yu's ointment is running out, and Aunt Song's medicine for cataracts is almost gone, so I have to prepare.
When it was time to eat, Jiashan Building was already full of diners, all shouting for lo-mei, the Li brothers and the shopkeepers served the dishes together to greet the guests, Song Yu's legs and feet were inconvenient to cut vegetables and wash the dishes in the back, and even the shopkeeper Wang personally went into battle and picked up the plates. Everyone wants to make their business more prosperous, and they don't care about paying labor or not.
The business of Jiashan Building is so hot, Gu Liuxi has seen it for the first time, the tables in the entire lobby are full of people, and the shopkeeper Wang has also set up several tables in the backyard for diners to eat in the inner courtyard. Seeing that the guys were too busy, Gu Liuxi finally rolled up his sleeves to help wash the dishes and wash the dishes.
It was not until the afternoon that the diners gradually dispersed, and the shopkeeper Wang beckoned everyone to have a meal together.
Gu Liuxi looked at the recipe and found that Jiashanlou's business was so good and his reason was reasonable, what fish head tofu soup, yellow stewed beef, West Lake vinegar fish, ginseng chicken soup, braised pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, slippery pork section, etc., he has many familiar dishes, Gu Liuxi has also eaten a few dishes, and the taste is really good.
just flipped through the recipes, and Gu Liuxi didn't see dim sum or anything like that.
"Brother Wang, don't you sell dim sum?"
Shopkeeper Wang was gnawing on the duck neck with relish, and said: "Dim sum tea is the specialty of Shuili Building, we Jiashan Lou generally does not sell it, and the best dim sum master is in his house, and his reputation is also there, we just sell it and no one comes to eat it." ”
Gu Liuxi nodded knowingly.
Shopkeeper Wang said again: "Brother and sister, if you have other ideas, you can also go to Shuili Building to try, I have an old acquaintance with his shopkeeper Li, and I can also introduce you to you." ”
"Brother Wang, aren't you afraid that I will go to his house and cause you trouble?" Gu Liuxi was a little surprised, she was also worried that if she went to Shuili Building, she would not provoke the shopkeeper Wang's dislike, but she didn't expect this person to take the initiative to bring it up.
