After a short time, the fire is baked, and as soon as the lid is lifted, you can smell a strong fragrance.

Practical first grabbed two and handed them to me: "Taste the fire in our house." ”

It happened that I hadn't eaten in the morning, so I was not polite, pinched the hot fire with my fingers, and took a careful bite.

I have to say that the guys' craftsmanship is really good, the filling is large and the skin is thin, and when you bite into it, it is crispy at first, and then you can feel the tender meat and fragrant soup.

Practical said that the reason why his customers are willing to patronize the business here is just a habit, but they know it after eating their fire, this statement is just modesty, if it were me, I would also be willing to come to the door every morning to queue up.

After that, he took another iron plate, put the rest of the fire on it one by one, and then went to the courtyard after setting it up.

It was about half past six, and when I followed Shili to the courtyard, I found that the number of people waiting for breakfast had doubled, and small bamboo baskets and pottery bowls had been placed on the dining table.

I found that there were only four fires in each basket, one was not much, and one was not too much, and some people ate the bean brains on the spot, and some people put the fire in the bamboo basket into the oiled paper bags prepared in advance, but they did not leave, and still sat in the same place and waited.

Although I was a little curious, in front of so many guests, I couldn't express my doubts.

It wasn't until I finished the first fire and took me back to the kitchen that I asked, "The rules of doing business here don't seem to be the same as those of other shops?" ”

Practical gave me a look: "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "When other people buy fire, they give as much as the guests want, but here you are just the opposite, they will take as much as you give." ”

Practical smiled: "These people have all eaten a big pot of rice, at that time, everyone ate together, they were all fixed meals, one meal ticket per person, and the things that could be exchanged were the same." Our family supplies breakfast, and we also follow the rules of the old canteen, and if you want to buy more, wait for the next stove to come out and then settle the bill. ”

I said, "If you buy more, won't you have to wait a long time?" ”

Practical: "Do you think it's worth the wait?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh: "The things in your store are really delicious." ”

Practical shook his head: "What these people eat is not necessarily the taste of the store, but an old habit. The reason why my store is so successful is because of old habits like this, which can no longer be found anywhere else. ”

I asked again: "Sixth uncle, your previous surname should be the stone of the stone." ”

Practical nodded: "When the Great Qing Kingdom was still there, I did use that surname, but it was changed in the early years of the Republic of China." As for why the family should have a surname, I don't know why. ”

As he spoke, Practical walked over to the stove again and slapped the guys' freshly made cakes into it.

I'm idle anyway, so I'm chatting.

I asked how they paid for this shop, and when he was eating out just now, I only saw people eating, but I didn't see anyone giving money.

Practical speaking, when eating in their store, they all eat first and then give money, there is a money box at the door of the house, and when they are full of food and drink, they will stuff the money into it, and the store does not give change, and customers need to prepare their own change.

I said, in this way, wouldn't you often encounter eating overlord meals?

Practical smiled and said, it is true that such situations will be encountered, but rarely, and sometimes, more special situations will be encountered.

I was curious, so I asked him what was going on.

He said that sometimes, the store does encounter a situation where the goods sold and the money recovered do not match, but not necessarily every time there is less money, sometimes it is more.

For example, if the fire in the store is calculated according to the unit price, two pieces of meat and five pieces of vegetables, when the business is good, hundreds of meat and vegetarian fires can be sold in the morning, and the total money is only about 1,000, but when you open the cash box to check, you find that it is full of 100 yuan tickets, and roughly calculated, there are at least more than 2,000, far exceeding the due profit.

Practically speaking, this is a person who had eaten an overlord meal in the store before, and came back to pay off his debts. When it is difficult, the money for a meal, for some people, it is difficult to pay, and when the difficulties have passed, the days are prosperous, and they will come back to pay off their debts.

The reason why he didn't pay for the food in the open was to give these sufferers a free meal, telling them that there was still a place in the world that had not abandoned them.

Of course, some people can remember this kindness, and some people will deliberately forget, just take advantage of it, maybe they will look back and say that practical people will not do business, and even say that he is a fool, there are not many such people, but in the practical view, after all, there are more good people than bad people.

After talking about these trivial things related to business, Practical seemed to think of something again, and while patting the fire, he said to me: "Your life and the feng shui of the old courtyard should be compatible." ”

I nodded: "I have too much anger on my body, and the yin energy here is heavy, staying for a long time will indeed have a little impact on your business." ”

Practical: "That's not what I mean, everyone has their own wealth, even if the feng shui changes, it won't change much." I mean, after you come, there will be some turmoil in the local Qi field, and it will not be long before there will be incidents here. But you don't have to worry too much, it's not necessarily a bad thing that this place can cause some trouble. ”

I sighed helplessly: "To be honest, Sixth Uncle, it's really tiring to listen to you." ”

Practical looked back at me, "What's wrong?" ”

I smiled at him, "You don't like to put things on the surface. ”

Practical muttered in a low voice, "If I say it so clearly, it won't be interesting." ”

When he was done, he said to me: "Don't be idle, go and see how the guys mix the stuffing, from tomorrow, you will start to mix the stuffing and knead the dough, hehe, I know your strength, the dough you knead, it must be very strong." ”

Anyway, I was idle, so I got to the cutting board and watched the guys at work.

Since I came to the practical store, I have felt as if there is a sense of indifference and leisure in the air, and I can't remember how many years I haven't had such a relaxed life as I am now.

At that time, I thought, even in the end, I can't get practical to join me, but it seems that it is not bad to make friends with him, and I can get a discount when I come to his restaurant to eat.

Breakfast time passed quickly, and the customers in the compound had left before eight o'clock, and then the guys began to prepare for the noon meal, and the practical took me to the entrance of the alley not far from the store.

When he took me out, he said that he was going to drag me around to familiarize himself with the environment, but when he reached the mouth of the alley, he stopped, as if he was waiting for someone.

I stood beside him for a while, feeling a little dull, so I asked, "Sixth Uncle, who are you waiting for?" ”

I had been looking at the sky before I was practical, and then I came back to my senses and said to me, "I'm not waiting for someone, I'm waiting for the sky to change." ”

"Changing the sky?"

"Didn't you notice, the sun has been a little abnormal since this morning."

I looked up at the sky, squinted my eyes and took a closer look, only to find that a thin mist seemed to be faintly floating in the blue sky, and a layer of pubescence seemed to grow around the bright sun, which looked particularly unreal.

I've only heard of the hairy moon before, but I didn't expect that the sun can still grow hair.

Since I was able to sense the Great Qi Wind Cave, I only looked at the changes in the Qi field to determine whether a place was normal, but I forgot to observe the celestial phenomena.

Practical also put his hand on his forehead, glanced at the sun, and then smiled helplessly: "You are really amazing, you just came here, and something is going to happen." ”

I asked him, "What's going to happen?" ”

Practical shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't think it's a bad thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a drizzle in the sky, you must know that it was daytime, and the sky was cloudless, and the sun was in full bloom.

Practical stretched out a hand, caught a few rain particles falling from the sky, smacked his lips, and said with some emotion: "This fox rain is really timely." ”
