Chapter 11 Business is booming
Hong Wu first mixed the seasoning, put it in a large pot and stirred well, and then put meat such as meatballs in it. The bone broth that had been boiled for a long time was accompanied by a variety of spices, and after boiling, a strong aroma wafted out, making the mouths of several people on the side water.
"Come, come, come! Let's taste it. Hongwu beckoned everyone to try it, and the vegetables that had just been put down had all been blanched.
Li Xiaoyao was the first to scoop up a skewer of beef, and immediately started eating it after blowing two breaths, as soon as he ate it in his mouth, Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, and an expression of great enjoyment appeared on his face: "Hmm~ delicious, it's so delicious!" After saying that, he immediately finished eating the beef skewers, and immediately went to fish for other food in the pot.
Seeing Li Xiaoyao's exaggerated expression and smelling the strong fragrance wafting from the pot, the others couldn't help but start eating.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Everyone praised in unison, and then they all fell into a scramble. Hong Wu looked at the few people who were laughing and playing, and it was good that his heart was young.
"Brother Hongwu, why don't you eat it? This meatball is delicious. Ling'er handed a string of meatballs he had eaten to Hong Wu's mouth, motioning him to taste it, Hong Wu took a bite of one, it was moderately salty, slightly spicy, and overall it tasted good. It is not popular to eat spicy food here in Jiangnan, and Hongwu only put a little chili pepper to make everyone gasp.
"Brother Xiaoyao, try this shiitake mushroom." "Brother Xiaoyao tastes this bean skin." Li Xiaoyao has two sisters, Xianglan and Xiulan, to serve, looking very proud, eating the food in Xianglan's hands for a while, and eating the food in Xiulan's hands for a while, and they are very happy.
Hongwu also had Ling'er handed it to him to eat, only Xiaohu. One person buried his head in eating hard, although he ate very refreshingly, he was stimulated by Li Xiaoyao's heart.
Li Xiaoyao is handsome and chic. He is young and frivolous, uninhibited, and is the ideal object in the hearts of many young girls, and the pair of sisters Xianglan and Xiulan were fascinated by Li Xiaoyao. Xiaohu has an ordinary appearance, although he has a good personality, but he is not the type that those young girls like.
"Brother Hong, look at it. I don't care about my brother's feelings, woo..."Xiaohu really can't stand the three of them showing affection in front of him, and he likes Xianglan. I just don't dare to say it.
"Haha!" Hong Wu was amused by Xiaohu's expression, and he said with a smile: "When I have time, I will teach you a few tricks to pick up girls, and ensure that you are captured." ”
"Thank you, Brother Hong." Xiaohu was overjoyed, he thought to himself that Hongwu could even handle the fairy. There are definitely cheats.
"Brother Hongwu. You'll also have a trick to pick up girls. Ling'er held Hong Wu's hand and shook it uncontrollably, and her small mouth was raised high.
"It's only theoretical, it's not used." Hong Wu sneered.
After eating Malatang, Hongwu grilled a lot of barbecue, and they were all eaten by them.
"It's so full! Brother Hong, I didn't expect you to have this kind of craft. Li Xiaoyao was lying on the bench picking his teeth, touching his round belly, he had eaten the most just now.
"Auntie. Do you think these two new dishes will attract customers? Hong Wu said.
"Absolutely! Your 'spicy' and 'barbecue' are not only creative, but also delicious. It is sure to attract many guests. Auntie's eyes lit up, and she seemed to see a bright future.
"In that case, let's prepare a little more, and the inn will reopen in five days!" Hong Wulang said.
Hongwu funded the decoration of the inn, and went to the blacksmith shop to order four sets of Malatang utensils and a set of barbecue utensils, and then trained Li Xiaoyao and Xiaohu to barbecue, while the aunt was in charge of Malatang, and Xianglan and Xiulan helped to help.
Li Xiaoyao and Xiaohu used to be idle, but now Hongwu has taught them a skill, which can make money to support themselves, and it also makes the aunt feel a lot more at ease.
Five days later, Yun Laiyun went to the inn to open as scheduled, there were a lot of people outside the inn to watch the excitement, but no one came in, it seems that the inn's previous reputation...
"Brother Hong, what should I do?" Li Xiaoyao was a little nervous, he had fantasized about a better life in the future, but he encountered problems on the first day of opening.
"Don't be afraid, you and Xiaohu will roast it now, and Auntie's spicy tang will also be prepared." Hongwu was very calm, and Li Xiaoyao was infected by Hongwu's self-confidence and felt a lot more relieved.
The barbecue grill was placed outside the inn, with Li Xiaoyao and Xiaohu's roasting, a strong fragrance spread, Hongwu made a small trick, and a breeze blew the spicy fragrance in the inn.
"Hmmm! It smells so good! What kind of dish is this? Smelling the aroma of spicy tang and barbecue, the lively crowd exploded the pot and began to discuss.
Soon, some onlookers couldn't stand the smell and walked into the store.
Aunt Li immediately arranged for them to be seated and asked Xianglan Xiulan to introduce them to how to eat, and these diners were immediately attracted by the fresh way of eating Malatang.
"Hmmm! Delicious. As soon as the spicy tang and barbecue entered the mouth, the diners were immediately conquered by this taste, and they opened their cheeks to eat, and the onlookers outside saw that the people inside were eating so fragrantly, and they also continued to enter the store 66, and after a while, the five tables of Malatang were already full, and those who couldn't eat Malatang simply surrounded Li Xiaoyao and Xiaohu, they grilled a skewer, and they were immediately bought, and the business was very hot.
Since Malatang and barbecue appeared for the first time in this world, the business was extremely hot, and those who had eaten Malatang and barbecue went back to show off with others, and people continued to come to try it.
Everyone was busy from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., eating some spicy tang and barbecue in the middle to satisfy their hunger, and until the closing time, there were still some customers queuing outside.
"I'm sorry, everyone, all the ingredients prepared today have been used up, please come back tomorrow..." Li Xiaoyao sued the guests who were still queuing, he was so tired that he was about to lie down.
"No wonder Brother Hong asked us to prepare so many ingredients, I thought it would be three or four days, who knew that it would be used up in one day." Xiaohu hammered his shoulders and looked at Li Xiaoyao enviously, Xianglan and Xiulan were massaging him.
Hong Wu and Ling'er are also helping, Ling'er collects money, and Hong Wu settles accounts.
Hong Wu didn't use an abacus, he directly calculated his mental calculations, and calculated today's profit at once.
"Auntie, our net profit today is fifteen taels of silver a day." Hong Wu said after finishing the calculation.
"Fifteen taels!" Everyone shouted in surprise, fifteen taels is not a small amount, the decoration of the inn and the purchase of utensils only cost less than fifteen taels in total, which means that they earned back these costs in one day.
"Here, these are the hard work for today." Aunt Li gave everyone present a tael of silver.
"I made a tael of silver a day, and in half a year, I can buy a big house in Yuhang Town, and then take my grandmother in and marry a beautiful daughter-in-law..."
"Xianglan, Xiulan, you don't have to sell vegetables in the future, we have all those vegetables, you can also come to the store to help, and the commission will be the same." Auntie said.
"Good! All right! In this way, I can be with Brother Xiaoyao every day. The two little girls shouted for joy and couldn't ask for it.
A few days before the opening, the business in the store was very hot, everyone was tired and half dead every day, and after most of the people in the town tasted the fresh, the business began to be stable, plus the people who came to live in the store from other places, the net income was more than five taels of silver a day.
Hong Wu and Ling'er have also lived in Yuhang Town for a long time, and it is almost time to leave. Aunt Li and Li Xiaoyao have Malatang and barbecue, and their lives will be much better in the future. As for what Hong Wu wanted to leave Ling'er by Li Xiaoyao's side before, I'm afraid it won't work to see Ling'er like this now.
"Boss, six portions of special barbecue each, and two jars of good wine." Six men dressed in ordinary plain clothes walked into the store, and one of them spoke in broken Jiangnan dialect.
"A few guest officers, please come here!" Aunt Li hurriedly greeted, Hong Wu could see that these people had good kung fu, but they were dressed as ordinary people, and as soon as they entered the door, they looked around, and when they saw Ling'er, the corners of their mouths showed joy.
"Could it be the Lunatic Cult?" Hong Wu thought to himself, it seemed that he couldn't leave Yuhang Town so soon, these Lunatic Cultists saw Ling'er in Aunt Li's inn, if the two of them suddenly disappeared, Aunt Li and Li Xiaoyao would definitely be implicated.
These people didn't make any moves, it seemed that they were just here to investigate the situation, they ate a lot of barbecue, spicy tang, drank a few jars of wine and left, before leaving, the leader also gave Xianglan Xiulan and the two daughters a lot of rewards, and smiled mysteriously at Ling'er.
"Brother Hongwu, I feel that these people are a little strange, as if they still have a bit of a Nanzhaoguo accent." After they left, Ling'er said to Hongwu.
"They are supposed Lunatic cultists, and their traces have been revealed." Hong Wu said.
"Then let's leave quickly, so as not to burden Brother Xiaoyao and them." Ling'er's salute has been packed up, put into the storage ring, and can leave at any time.
"No, they can't find us, they will definitely arrest Xiaoyao and Aunt Li to ask, we can't leave now." Hong Wu said.
Sure enough, when the time came, the group turned back again, and this time there were twelve Lunatic Cultists, who were even more powerful than the one on Faerie Island.
Hong Wu had informed Aunt Li and Xiaoyao during the day, and he asked Ling'er to leave with the two of them first, and he went to lure away these Lunatic worshippers by himself.
"What people!" Hong Wu deliberately made some noises to lead these Lunatic worshippers elsewhere, the streets were empty and quiet at night, and Hong Wu led ten people out of Yuhang Town and into the woods outside.
"Who is Your Excellency? What is the purpose of bringing us here? The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"You're not stupid, I brought you here to see you to Hades." Hong Wu removed the face towel and said loudly.
"It's you! Just get rid of you first, and then invite the princess back. "The middle-aged leader saw Hong Wu at the Yunlaiyun Inn, and recognized him at once, and they followed Hong Wu out with the same thoughts, the night is dark and the wind is high and easy to kill, and it is inevitable that there will be movement in the town.
