Chapter 67: Here's the Thing
After eating breakfast in a pleasant atmosphere, everyone began to be busy with a new day.
He Qiang and Sheng said that after returning at noon, they left to Zhenwei. The rest of the people had a clear division of labor and began to do their own work.
Because of the addition of cold dishes and stir-fried dishes, their workload is now a little heavier. Although Xiang Tianqi didn't like the smell of fumes in the kitchen, he still knew the priorities. So after the dishes were cleaned up with Heqiu, they began to prepare cold dishes and stir-fried.
First let Heqiu cut all the dishes as required. Then they are served separately and the vegetables are hung in the well in a basket and left on ice to keep the vegetables fresh.
At the beginning of last month, Xiang Tianqi and Cuiying began to prepare, the preparation of cold dishes and stir-frying, Cuiying and her second sister-in-law have practiced many times to ensure that the taste meets Xiang Tianqi's requirements before stopping.
Busy time always flies.
When Heqiang and the others returned, the shop was already full.
I saw that two new wooden boards were added to the beams of the lobby, on which were written "Today's Dishes", followed by two dishes, one cold and one hot.
Yesterday, when I was drinking with Qiu, I said that they don't provide a la carte service, but the dishes they serve are different every day, so the people who came to eat today really felt a little fresh after seeing it, because they have never seen a seller who does this business. So no matter what the psychology is, there are still a lot of people who order food.
He Qiu, He Wang, and He Ren shuttled back and forth in the lobby, and the sound of ordering food and noodles came and went.
He Qiang was both taken aback.
The two of them have been absent for a month, and they didn't know that the shop business was so hot now.
The two men walked back through the lobby.
When I went to the back kitchen, I saw Cui Ying and her second sister-in-law in charge of pressing and cooking noodles, while Xiang Tianqi was in charge of serving the stir-fried or cold dishes ordered by the guests and putting them on the tray with the noodles. It is handed over to the person who came to pick it up.
Seeing this, He Qiang and Sheng stopped talking and hurried to join in.
In this way, there are three women in the back kitchen, and Heqiang, who has just returned, and He Sheng shuttles between the back kitchen and the lobby, and Heqiu is in charge of the lobby.
The five people are responsible for their own scope, although they did not say a word, they cooperated tacitly.
The lobby is bustling, the kitchen is also busy, although tired, everyone has a happy expression on their faces. And immersed in the busyness and joy, I didn't notice the few people scattered in different corners of the lobby with different expressions, and these people sat in the lobby for almost the whole afternoon.
Although Xiang Tianqi stipulated that he would only be open at noon, he was still busy until nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon. None of them expected that the business would be so hot.
Fortunately, when he came back at noon, He Qiang bought steamed buns, which were originally a staple food at dinner, but today was too busy, so at noon, several people took turns to eat two steamed buns and an egg, which lasted until the end of today.
I closed the door and rested for more than half an hour before I recovered.
"I'll go, I'm tired today!"
Xiang Tianqi was extremely tired, lying on the table, clenching his fists, slamming his lower back, and unconsciously pursed out the words he used to use before.
"yes, I didn't expect there to be so many people today."
He Qiang also sighed, looking at the people in front of him, he was very relieved, he didn't expect that even if the two of them were not there, they could do so well. In this way, the prospect of Heshi Village is promising.
He Qiang, the child of the patriarch, has been different from other families since he was a child, and what he heard the most was that his father discussed the affairs of the village with his uncle, so over time, the village of the He clan also occupied a great position in his heart, and his style of action became more and more considerate of the village.
So seeing that the future of Heshi Village was smooth, he was happier than anyone else.
Everyone rested in the backyard for a while, and He Qiang watched the tired few people get up and go to the kitchen, and after a while, the morning meal was served hot.
"Let's eat something, I'm tired of the day today, finish my meal early and go to rest."
He Sheng and He Qiang served the meal, and several people began to eat.
"And big brother, don't you bring all the things that do carpentry here, I'll give you a drawing in a few days, and you can make it according to it"
Xiang Tianqi said while eating, what she wanted was to make a few rocking chairs and put them in the backyard.
The rocking chair is much more comfortable to sit on than this stone bench, so you can't go back to your room to sleep after eating! Not to mention how boring it is, you're going to gain weight after a long time! It's okay to gain weight, the key is that it's easy to gain weight and difficult to lose weight!
So in order not to be guilty of that, Xiang Tianqi felt that it was better not to gain weight.
He Qiang nodded, didn't speak, and didn't ask what it was, which showed his trust in Xiang Tianqi.
After eating, a few people talked again, and washed and disinfected the last remaining dishes and chopsticks. After doing this, they all went back to their rooms.
A good night's sleep.
The next day was still busy.
At noon, when he came back, he was still holding a bun in his hand. Buying yesterday is a blessing for the soul, and buying today is because of yesterday's experience.
It's just that something happened today, and I didn't eat this bun at noon.
……
It wasn't long after the doors opened.
There are still a lot of guests coming today, and the lobby is full of diners who have come to eat not long after it opens.
One table stands out. Say they're conspicuous because of what they're wearing.
Most of the people who eat in this small shop are some part-time workers or small vendors in the neighborhood, and the clothes are generally people with a distinction between tops and bottoms, or robes of coarse linen, or occasionally a little muslin.
And today, the clothes on the people at this table are all satin fabrics, and they are all accompanied by a small servant. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.
It's not impossible to say that there are one or two people with unique hobbies who like to try new things, such as Master Qi, but the strange thing is that there are so many at once, and they all happen to sit at the same table, which is a bit interesting.
When He Qiu saw these people, he was worried that He Wang and the two would not be able to cope with it, so he gave the two of them a look, and ran over in disgrace.
"Guest officer, what are you doing? We are mainly engaged in interviews here, and there are two special dishes, one cold and one hot. ”
The smile on Heqiu's face looks very kind, so that people can't find anything wrong.
"Give us a few of us the signature dish here."
One of them, dressed in a purple robe, had a big belly and spoke, with disdain.
"Okay, you wait, it's going to be right away."
After saying that, He Qiu went to the back kitchen in person, and he wanted to tell He Qiang and Xiang Tianqi about this, so that they could think of countermeasures in advance.
As soon as he arrived in the backyard, He Qiu opened his throat and shouted, but he didn't dare to make too loud noises.
"And big brother, and big brother, a few people came outside today, dressed very well, and brought people, a few people made a piece, saying that they wanted to eat our signature dish."
He Qiu briefly explained the situation, but also expressed the matter clearly.
He Qiang listened and looked at Heqiu.
"How many people? Dressed well? Together?"
Kazuka nodded.
He Qiang nodded to indicate that he understood, and then let him go to the lobby.
After He Qiu left, He Qiang went to the back kitchen and told Xiang Tianqi what He Qiu had told him.
"As they say, it's a blessing or a curse, and if you want to hide, you can't hide."
Xiang Tianqi thought for a while and then said.
He Qiang nodded, he also thought so, if they really came to eat, then everything would be fine. But if it's the same as they expected...... That can only be flooded.
Xiang Tianqi went to serve the cold dishes and stir-fried, and after Cuiying cooked the noodles, He Qiang went out with a tray.
He Qiang brought the tray to the entrance of the lobby, hid behind the curtain, lifted a corner, and secretly glanced at the people He Qiu said, his eyes darkened, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Kazuka saw Heqiang behind the curtain and walked over.
"Keep an eye on them for a moment."
He Qiang looked serious and instructed this Heqiu, and Heqiu was clever enough to solve it even if there were any small things, but I was afraid that it was not good.
He Qiu glanced at the few people sitting in the lobby, and he had noticed that something was wrong just now.
These people are not like ordinary diners, they look back and forth in the lobby, and they still don't look at the direction of the back kitchen, although it is very vague, but it still makes the people who have been paying attention to them go back and find out.
He Qiu nodded, and told He Qiang what he had just done, and these discoveries of He Qiu confirmed He Qiang's thoughts, and told He Qiu to continue to stare at what to tell him for the first time, and then he went to the back kitchen.
When he returned to the back kitchen, he told Xiang Tianqi that he and Heqiu had just found out, even if he trusted Xiang Tianqi in his heart, even if Xiang Tianqi was capable, he was just a little girl as old as Cuiying, even if his ability was limited, but these things were still solved by him as a man.
After all, it was the first time I encountered this kind of thing, and I hadn't reached the realm where I couldn't move without letting him wind and rain, so it didn't take long for the careful Xiang Tianqi to find the clue.
Xiang Tianqi usually doesn't care about anything, but he knows everything.
So I found that He Qiang was a little absent-minded when he came back from a trip to the lobby, and then he began to pay attention to it. As for why not ask?
If He Qiang wanted her to know, he would have told her a long time ago, and since He Qiang didn't say it now, she couldn't ask anything, so it was better to observe it secretly.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Heqiu to run over in a hurry.
Xiang Tianqi saw He Qiu say a few words to He Qiang from the window, and He Qiang's face changed, and he followed He Qiu to the lobby.
Xiang Tianqi wiped his hands, came out of the back kitchen, and followed.
The lobby at the moment.
"This guest officer, I am the shopkeeper here, what is the matter?"
He Qiang smiled lightly and asked a few people, although he already knew what was going on, but he still pretended not to know, although he didn't have experience, but it was still very similar to pretending to be like this.
"What's the matter? Your noodles and dishes are so unpalatable that they are still called signature dishes? Isn't this fooling people? And this, what is this, I have a stomachache when I eat it! It can't be poisoning! ”
is still the purple-robed man, after speaking, he ate another bite of cold food, and after eating, he chirped and chirped, and then covered his stomach, so that they seemed to have real dishes and problems, and they hurt their stomachs.
Other people who eat in the shop also look here when they hear the movement here, and when they hear the word poisoning, they all show fear on their faces, although the food here is good, but because of this, if you eat poison, even if the food here is delicious, you can't come back in the future, and it's important to eat that!
"This guest officer, our things have been tested hundreds of times, not only the taste is guaranteed to be good, but also the materials are also exquisite, and we use boiling water every day to disinfect this bowl of chopsticks, there will definitely be no such situation as you said."
And strong patient answers, and raise the volume, so that everyone in this shop can hear, it doesn't matter if it tastes bad, but once the news of food poisoning comes out, it will be a big blow to Hutchison! So this has to be taken care of.
The other diners softened their faces when they heard this, and many of them have been here since Hutchison first opened and have now become loyal diners.
