Chapter 5 Delicious
After sending off the last table of guests and pulling down the bamboo curtain in front of the door, An Wan exhaled a long breath.
Song Jian also Song Qin also breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Song Jian wanted to open his mouth and call An Juan to see how much money he had earned today, he heard a gurgling sound coming from Song Qin's belly beside him.
He and An Juan turned their heads to look at Song Qin together, only to find that she had blushed cheeks.
An Juan recalled today's busyness, and thought that the three of them hadn't eaten a good meal, so she shook her tired arm, and made a big bowl of soup with three dishes and leftover ingredients from the day, and the three of them sat around and ate together.
Song Qin saw that there were many people who bought vegetables in the morning and came back to order two dishes in the afternoon, and when she talked to her, she couldn't stop praising the dishes they made, so she was mentally prepared for "this dish is delicious".
But after putting a mouthful of green vegetables into her mouth and chewing it twice, she understood what "peerless deliciousness" was.
The dishes made by An Juan are refreshing and strong, oily but not greasy, and after eating, they are still lingering in the taste buds, which makes people can't help but take the initiative to pounce, but they can only pounce on a piece of fragrant and soft air.
Seeing that Song Qin's face had an expression of extreme enjoyment, An Juan secretly thought "really give me face" in her heart, and she also held a chopstick in her hand.
She understood Song Qin's mood in an instant.
Before, she only took a small handful of cold dishes after the dishes in the space were ripe, and she thought it tasted good, but it was by no means so amazing.
Maybe it's more suitable for cooked food.
An Juan thought about it, and quickly continued to pick up rice and vegetables in his mouth.
After finishing the meal, she sat with Song Jian and Song Qin together, watching Song Jian drag the big box of cash register money out from under the counter, pour the silver taels inside onto the table, and everyone counted them together.
At first, everyone counted slowly, and they were afraid that they would only make a little money.
But later, they found that they seemed to be earning a lot today...... At least much higher than they thought.
When they finally counted it, they got an incredible number for a while, and they counted it twice.
They actually earned more than forty taels of silver?
What does more than forty taels represent?
Before, thanks to the help of the shopkeeper next door, they won this small courtyard at a relatively low price, which was fifty taels.
Although it is not as prosperous as the city center, it is also located in the street at the gate of the city, and the people come and go quite lively, and the land price is naturally not low.
An Juan raised his head and glanced at Song Jian and Song Qin, and there was irrepressible surprise and joy on each other's faces.
In the end, it was Song Jian who calmed down first, took back the bits and pieces of change into the box, and then lifted it to the table and looked at An Juan: "Xiao An, look at the money...... What is it used for? ”
Reaching out to take the box, An Juan tossed it in his hand, and then frowned and thought about the use: "Although we have made a lot of money today, we can't guarantee that we will receive so much every day in the future...... Let's take a look for the time being, if the business has been good, hire a few people to help, and if you can still hold on, just continue. ”
Regarding her proposal, Song Qin and Song Jian both nodded in agreement after thinking about it for a while: "It's okay." ”
After they discussed the use of the money, Song Jian and An Juan went to the silver village together to exchange them from broken silver to whole silver tickets.
On the way, An Juan suddenly remembered something, and looked at Song Jian with some guilt: "I forgot to settle the wages for your father and daughter...... We have earned so much today, and after deducting other expenses, we should have made a net profit of forty taels ......."
At this time, Song Jian had already shook his head, once again expressing his gratitude to An Juan for taking them in and the current low demand for money.
An Juan put down the hand that had reached in and was about to take out the money, and discussed with Song Jian tentatively: "In this case, then I will give each of you five percent of the shares, and you will each give five percent of the money earned by this store." ”
As soon as Song Jian wanted to continue to shake his head and refuse An Juan's gift, he heard An Juan's tone suddenly aggravate: "Uncle, don't shirk it anymore...... Give this stake to you, and all three of us will be the bosses, and we will be able to work together to run this hotel. ”
An Juan's proposal was very sincere, Song Jian stared at her for a while, and found that the expression on her face was not half fake, so he took a deep breath and accepted the other party's proposal: "It's okay." ”
Although the two of them completed this agreement on the way, the specific details will have to wait until they get back.
An Juan and Song Jian walked quickly to the money village together.
After exchanging the fragments of silver into banknotes, An Juan first took it in his hand and looked at it, and then took out half of it and put it in Song Jian's hand: "You and Qin'er can go out to the streets when you have free time, and buy anything useful when you see it...... By the way, I'll take Qin'er to buy a few clothes when I have time, they're all girls, how can I do it without beautiful clothes. ”
Song Jian was noncommittal about what An Juan said earlier, but after hearing that An Juan decided to take Song Qin to buy clothes, an obvious expression of approval appeared on his face: "Yes, you two little girls, you wear those clothes all day long, and it doesn't look like words...... I have more than ten taels of silver there, just for you to buy clothes. ”
The two of them discussed it and went home, but instead of arguing any longer, they began to pack up what they needed for tomorrow.
After having dinner, Song Jian and Song Qin agreed that what could make Yuanju Pavilion popular was the fresh vegetables that An Ju bought from nowhere.
The two of them were worried that vegetable farmers would not supply them with this kind of good food after discovering business opportunities in the future, so they nervously asked An Juan whether the purchase channel was reliable.
An Juan couldn't tell them about the existence of the space, let alone let them follow them to see how the nonsensical vegetable farmers planted vegetables, so they could only deal with the past at will.
Fortunately, they all saw that An Wan was reluctant to disclose too much information in this regard, and felt that this was also a confidentiality measure, so they didn't ask any more questions.
After returning to the room, Anwan leaned against the wall with her back and breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought to herself that if Song Jian and Song Qin were as knowledgeable about current affairs as they appeared to be, and knew that they couldn't look at what they shouldn't see, she would continue to live in harmony with them; But if they peeked at her things, then she would have to think about her own safety......
After all, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me......
An Xuan exhaled deeply.
Then don't blame her for being ruthless!
After making plans and mental preparations, An Wan tiredly went to get water to wash, and then lay on the bed with clothes, opening her eyes and looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Although it seems that she is at home in this unfamiliar environment, in fact, she feels like she is walking on thin ice and terrified with every step.
It's just that the sadness of the middle of the night can only be reserved for herself, just like even if her arm is sore today, she just secretly rubbed it with spring water, without resting more, and without telling others.
…… It's hard to get started, but once you do, it's easy.
After thinking about life like this in the middle of the night, An Juan still woke up early the next day, went to the backyard and put vegetables in the car, went back to make a few bowls of vegetable porridge, drank one bowl by himself first, and then left the rest for Song Jian's father and daughter.
As soon as An Juan opened the door of the store, he saw that there were already dozens of people waiting at the door.
As soon as she inquired, she knew that they were amazed by yesterday's dishes, and they wanted to buy a few more plates to eat today.
There were repeat customers in just one day, An Juan smiled with crooked eyebrows, felt that the whole person was motivated, hurried back to the kitchen to prepare raw materials, and just waited for Song Jian and Song Qin to come over, and it was officially opened.
Song Jian and Song Qin also looked forward to today's business, so they quickly rushed over and excitedly lifted the curtain to welcome the first wave of customers today.
Most of these people will order a dish or two from yesterday and then try something new that they haven't eaten before.
When they were waiting for An Juan to finish the dish, they would chat with each other, and then tout a certain dish in this restaurant, and after saying a few more words, it produced the effect of Amway, and many people also became interested in the dish he said, and tentatively ordered a plate to go back and taste it.
Yesterday, Anjuan just came into contact with this very labor-intensive cooking mode, and was often in a hurry, but the next day she had experience, and she had more understanding of the amount of dishes and the placement of seasonings, and the efficiency was unsurprisingly much faster than yesterday.
After the early morning rush hour, An Juan even had time to take a break and chat with the diners eating in the store.
Most of those diners are not in a hurry, they come to the restaurant to relax, and now they see a beautiful cook chatting with them, and they are even more talking, so that An Juan can only listen to it funny, but she can't interject at all.
They first asked An Juan's surname, and after learning that her surname was An, they began to talk to her one after another.
However, most of these men are just boring diners, although they like to talk, but they are not very disagreeable in nature, and they can often provide some useful information to An Juan: "Miss An, do you know that we hold a chef competition in Jincheng every three years?" ”
Speaking of this, the diner stretched out his chopsticks and took a large mouthful of green vegetables and put them in the bowl, before he looked up and continued: "Jincheng loves to eat, everyone can cook a good dish, so there are some competitions held by the rich man, recruiting chefs from all over the world, just seeking a bowl of deliciousness...... Every time you win a place in this competition, you can not only get a monetary reward from your masters, but also a piece of land rewarded by the government......"
This competition doesn't sound much different from all kinds of modern cooking competitions, and An Wan listened intently, but her heart was already eager to try, and she wanted to participate in such a competition immediately.
She couldn't wait to ask for the date of the next competition, and saw the man look at An Juan with a smile, and then said the answer: "It's been more than two years since the last competition, and the champion of that competition has already gone to the palace to be the imperial chef......" He sighed, then lowered his head and put a trace of the dish in his mouth with chopsticks, and clicked his mouth twice, looking like he was tasting the taste of the dish.
After he poked his throat and swallowed it, the diner gave a thumbs up and praised An Juan: "I took a closer look at the girl's knife skills, and tasted the taste of the food, and I felt that if Miss An went, at least she would have to get a ranking." ”
In response to his compliment, An Juan only smiled politely, without reminding him that she was very busy when she made this dish, and she didn't even cut the shredded dishes finely.
After the guests of these talks left, An Juan and Song Qin cleaned up the table and waited for the next table of guests.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another group of people to enter the small restaurant.
An Juan didn't pay much attention to it, and lowered her head in the kitchen to prepare the materials, but she heard a magnetic voice with a smile ringing in her ears: "A piece of Kung Pao Chicken, thank you." ”
After that, the people at his table ordered some more food one after another, and it sounded like there were about five or six people, all young men.
After An Juan waited for Song Qin to report all the dishes needed for that table, she neatly put the paper with the dishes on the window, and casually looked over there.
She originally just wanted to see what a man with such a nice voice should look like, but she didn't expect that as soon as she looked up, she was completely amazed.
In modern times, there is often a saying that "the better the voice, the uglier the real appearance".
But this diner completely violated this rule summed up by many, not only with a low and sexy voice, but also with a flawless face.
From An Juan's point of view, you can only see his side face, but this can clearly show the handsomeness of this person - the eyes are deep, the bridge of the nose is high, and the thin lips seem to be smiling.
