Chapter 49: A Century-Old Shop
"I... I have a... Suggestion. Zhou Kuiruo had already adjusted his emotions and turned to look at Chun Tao. This... This business... All... It's all about profits... Good restaurant... Also... Also more snobbish... It's better to find... Not good. ”
"You mean it's not good to look for business? But if his income is not good, we don't have much dividends, do we? ”
Could it be that he has been discussing business with me for too long, and he has been in the eyes of money. "Business is not good... Part of it is... It's because... Serve... In addition... It's the dish. ”
"Then let's find out first, which one is bad because the food is not good, and which one is bad because of the service." Zhou Kuiruo said as he walked, followed by three small tails.
"Let's look at this again!" The four of them walked for a long time, and after being snubbed in two restaurants with average business and poor service, they came to a restaurant called Prayer Building.
As soon as Zhou Kuiruo and the others went in and sat down, a middle-aged man stepped forward and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Is the shopkeeper there?"
"I am."
There is no Xiao Er.
"Why don't you have a little two!" October was straightforward and quickly helped Chun Tao ask what she was thinking.
The shopkeeper was a little cramped, poured water for them and said, "Actually, I don't hide it from a few guest officers, my business here is not very good, and I can't afford to pay a monthly salary at all." So! The second child, the shopkeeper, and the boss in this store are all me. ”
No, the chef is you, too! "That's... The chef? ”
"It's not me, do you want a few guest officers to eat some?"
Chun Tao looked at Zhou Kuiruo, and the two children also looked at him. "What can you order here?" Restaurants that don't do well usually don't have a lot of ingredients.
The shopkeeper was embarrassed again, Zhou Kuiruo poured a glass of water and handed it to him, invited him to sit down and said, "Actually, we didn't come to eat?" ”
"Not eating? Then you..."The shopkeeper's face changed, and he slapped the table suddenly, "Huo! He stood up.
scolded Zhou Kuiruo angrily: "I said it, I won't sell it." Whoever you found it, go back to me and tell him: Even if this prayer building is folded in my hands, I will not sell it to him. Get out, get out quickly. ”
October was so frightened that she drilled straight into Chun Tao's arms, and Chun Tao struggled for a while and patted her on the back gently. "Don't... Don't be afraid! ”
September also hid behind Chun Tao, leaving only Zhou Kuiruo and the shopkeeper facing each other.
The shopkeeper didn't bully the three weak women of Chuntao, and only picked up Zhou Kuiruo with a broom.
"Shopkeeper, you're mistaken. We..."
The shopkeeper was angry and didn't listen to Zhou Kuiruo's explanation at all. "Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand? Since you're not here to eat, you're here to make trouble, get out of here! ”
Zhou Kuiruo had to hide from the shopkeeper's broom and maintain his image, and he was almost beaten several times. When Zhou Kuiruo faced Chun Tao, Chun Tao beckoned to him and motioned for him to come this way.
Before Zhou Kuiruo had time to think about whether it was more embarrassing to hide behind a woman, or to be chased and beaten by others, his body had already honestly run in the direction of Chun Tao.
"You... You..."Zhou Kuiruo stood behind Chun Tao, and the shopkeeper was afraid of hitting the child, so he stopped and gasped.
"Shopkeeper..."Zhou Kuruo also took a breath and said, "Shopkeeper, we are not here to buy your building. We..."
"I know, you're an errand runner, right? It's really cunning, and you still have a woman and a child, you..."
The two were separated by three people, snatching the right to speak when the other was panting.
"I'm not running errands, you're mistaken, I..."
"Misunderstanding fart, you..."
"We're here to talk to you about cooperation, we're here to help you."
"Who are you fooling! When am I a three-year-old child? You and I don't know each other, why are you so kind to help me. ”
"It's not just about you, it's about helping myself, and it's mutually beneficial between us."
"Really?"
"Nature is true."
"Then what do you mean by having children and women! Isn't it a shield? ”
Zhou Kuiruo realized that he was still hiding behind Chun Tao, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Coughed dryly and said, "This is Humble Jing, she is the one who wants to cooperate with you, and the two children are..."
"The two children won't be yours, right?" September and October are taller than their peers and look a little older.
"No, this is the sister of my clumsy friend." If I had jumped out to oppose it in October in normal times, I was scared today, and I am still trembling.
Although Chun Tao's appearance is not worthy of Zhou Kuiruo, her behavior of protecting Zhou Kuiruo just now made the shopkeeper believe in the fact that the two are husband and wife. The shopkeeper is a cheerful person, and he admits his mistakes. "I'm so embarrassed just now!"
Looking at October, who was still hiding in Chun Tao's arms, the shopkeeper touched his chin unnaturally. "The little girl is very frightened! How about I ask the kitchen to cook you something delicious? ”
In October, the head was buried in Chun Tao's arms and ignored the shopkeeper.
"September." Chun Tao had been avoiding October's touch at the beginning, so her posture was particularly strange, and after standing for a while, her whole body was extremely stiff, and she could only turn to September to comfort and comfort October.
"Good October, don't be afraid, it's okay." Under the appeasement of September, October finally let go of Spring Peach and turned to hold September.
It's not a big deal to watch October, and Zhou Kuiruo plans to have a good talk with the shopkeeper. "Why don't we sit down and talk?"
"Good!" I just misunderstood Zhou Kuiruo, and the shopkeeper couldn't refuse.
"I remember a year ago, the Prayer Building, which was also one of the best restaurants in Yuyang County, why now?"
"Hey! Who's to say it isn't! This prayer building is a century-old shop, and it has been called since my great-grandfather's generation. From a small stall to what it is today, the bitterness is not something that others can understand. Zhou Kuiruo's words evoked the memories of the shopkeeper,
"It has been passed down for four generations, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed in my hands in the end. I'm useless! I don't have the face to see my ancestors and ancestors! The shopkeeper closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to face the current depressed prayer building.
"But why is this happening?" Everything has cause and effect, the shopkeeper is not a mediocre talent, and it is impossible for such a century-old store as Prayer Building to become like this for no reason in just one year.
"Do you see the restaurant across the street?"
"Desheng Zhai? Could it be that the one who wants to buy the prayer building is the owner of Desheng Zhai? ”
"The little brother guessed right, the owner of Nade Shengzhai didn't know where he heard about it, the location of the prayer building is a feng shui treasure, as long as people who do business here will make a fortune. He sent someone to negotiate with me and wanted to buy the prayer building. But this prayer building is the foundation of the ancestors, how can it be said that it will be sold. ”
The shopkeeper sighed and continued, "Seeing that I was very resolute and impatient, he sent people to make trouble twice for three days, and scared away many guests. But even so, he was still unwilling, and finally opened this Desheng Zhai on the opposite side. ”
"But this won't make the prayer building decay so quickly!" Zhou Kuiruo felt that there were other things that the shopkeeper hadn't said yet.
"Naturally, I pray that the building can become a century-old store, but it is not blown out, it depends on good craftsmanship. So! Na De Sheng Zhai poached our chef, and not only that, but he also... The woman was also asked to wear revealing clothes inside to attract customers. The shopkeeper beat his chest and paused his disdainful behavior of Victory Fast.
Then it's strange to pray that the building won't fall. After figuring out the reason, Chun Tao was a little less confident.
On the other hand, Zhou Kuiruo was more optimistic, and he comforted the shopkeeper. "In this way, Na De Sheng Zhai can attract some customers, but also lose some customers. At least the woman and child won't go, and the best thing to do now is to make dishes that are appealing. ”
"Little brother, don't you know, the master of this Desheng Zhai not only poached my original cook, but also threatened other cooks not to let them come to me. My current husband is not threatened by him because he is old and has some trouble with his hands and feet. ”
Without a good cook, even if there is a good recipe, it is in vain. Zhou Kuiruo didn't expect that in the end, it was hindered because of this reason.
