Chapter 60 060.The Red Lantern
Since Qiao Qinghe passed away and the kitchen fell into the hands of Xu Dafu, the taste of Dingxianglou's dishes is getting worse day by day, and the number of guests has gradually decreased.
Three years ago, a new restaurant was opened diagonally opposite Dingxiang Building, called Qilu Building, which is the same as Dingxiang Building, making Lu cuisine.
The opening of Qilu Building made Dingxiang Building, whose business had declined, even worse.
It's also annoying, this Qilu Building also has a relationship with Dingxiang Building.
Huang Da, the big shopkeeper of Qilu Building, is the original apprentice of Dingxiang Building and Xu Dafu's personal apprentice.
This thing is a typical church apprentice, starving to death of the master.
The dishes in Qilu Building are exactly the same as those in Dingxiang Building.
And the amount of each dish is a little more than that of Dingxianglou, and the price is a few pennies cheaper than Dingxianglou.
Moreover, Huang Da has a high level of culinary understanding, and he learned his skills from Dingxiang Building, and the taste of the dishes is better than that of Xu Dafu.
It didn't take long for Dingxianglou's business to be robbed by Qilu Building.
Feng Shui takes turns, and now, on Hulu Street, the most famous restaurant is not Dingxiang Building, but Qilu Building.
At this time, before it was dark, the red lantern at the door of Qilu Building was lit, and the guests were busy, and the guys were busy entertaining, which was simply two extremes with Dingxiang Building.
First, there is Qilu Lou to grab business, and moreover, Dingxianglou himself is not angry, Xu Dafu's craftsmanship is not good, and these days, He Baolian's poor service attitude, Dingxianglou is already on Hulu Street, and its reputation is stinky.
How easy is it to bring such a store back to life?
Qiao Wan raised a smile and stood at the door to greet her for a long time, but no one was willing to pay attention to her.
She was not discouraged, returned to the lobby, took a sip of tea, moistened her throat, and prepared to make persistent efforts.
At this time, Gu Tingzhi came down from upstairs.
"Daughter-in-law, if you want to do business, you have to make the courtyard more lively first, do you see, Qilu Building has lit lanterns."
Qiao Wan glared at Gu Ting.
This man is talking nonsense, and of course she knows how to order lanterns.
But can't you buy lanterns? She didn't have any money in her hand, so she had to earn money to buy a lantern.
Gu Tingzhi saw that Qiao Wan didn't speak, and he also understood her difficulties.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll go out." So saying, the man went out.
Qiao Wan ignored it and continued to solicit guests.
However, the sky was gradually getting dark, looking at the bright lights of Qilu Building opposite, and the darkness at her door, Qiao Wan thought to herself, if she was a diner, she would definitely go there to eat.
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, she saw a tall figure not far away, carrying three or four red lanterns in his hand, walking towards her.
After a while, Gu Tingzhi stood in front of Qiao Wan.
Looking at the lantern in the man's hand, she was a little stunned: "Where did you get it?" ”
Gu Tingzhi smiled: "It's not robbed after all." As he spoke, he picked up a bamboo pole and hung up the lantern.
In fact, his lantern is similar to the one he robbed.
The Gu family opened a grocery store on West Street, Gu Liangzhi, the boss of the Gu family, was in charge of the shop, and Gu Tingzhi went to his eldest brother to ask for lanterns.
Gu Liangzhi felt that Gu Tingzhi had nothing to do and didn't want to give him a new one, saying that the lanterns in the shop were sold out, Gu Tingzhi didn't say a word, so he took off the four lanterns lit on the grocery store, and made his eldest brother jump to his feet in anger.
Gu Tingzhi naturally wouldn't tell Qiao Wan about this.
When the lantern was hung, the Dingxiang Building was lit up.
Qiao Wan looked up at the illuminated signboard, and couldn't help but smile, sure enough, it's better like this.
As soon as the little couple hung up the lantern, Qiao Wan heard someone talking behind her.
"Little lady, I'm here again!"
