In the scorching summer, sending away the last wave of customers at noon, Gan Er wiped the sweat on his face, gave Liuzi dozens of dollars, and asked him to go out to buy some ice cream to come back and cool off, and by the way, he also sent some to the vegetable stall and home.

Liuzi went out with the money and met a pair of guests who were about to enter the door, "It's unfortunate that the guest officer came, the shop is closed now." ”

"Why is the blue sky closed during the day?" Zhang Da laughed.

"Uncle Zhang is here." Gan Er stepped forward to greet him, kicked Liuzi and let him go, "When did you come, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" I asked the kitchen to get a few side dishes. ”

"I'm afraid a few side dishes won't work, take out your housekeeping skills, I can bring you a God of Wealth." Zhang laughed and said that Gan Er saw that the men next to him were dressed well, smiled and beckoned them to sit, and he went to the kitchen to ask Huang Er to cook a few dishes.

When the good wine and food are served, Gan Er will accompany the guests, and Zhang Dacai will introduce him. "This is a friend of my family's eldest husband, Qiao's shopkeeper."

"Shopkeeper Qiao wants to open a restaurant in Fucheng, but because he hasn't done it, he can't start, so he wants to find a partner, this is not my family Lang will think of you, you are also from scratch, supporting such a big restaurant, so many years more and more prosperous, you are a shrewd and capable person, you definitely don't want to develop only in this square inch, now is a good opportunity." Zhang Da said.

Gan Er's first reaction was to excuse himself, "Brother Zhang also thinks too highly of me, I will open such a small restaurant and do neighborhood business, where do I have the ability to cooperate with the big shopkeeper and go to Fucheng to open a store." ”

"We actually came here for a while, and observed outside the restaurant for a while, your restaurant is not on the street, but there are a lot of guests coming and going, so it can be seen that there are still some skills, so you don't have to be too modest." Shopkeeper Qiao said that he glanced at the five dishes on the table, all of which were common dishes in the restaurant, nothing unusual, but the amount was real.

Just as he thought before he came, what good restaurant can there be in a small place, and good business depends on reality, the restaurant he wants to open in Fucheng is not a real restaurant, but it is just a trip for nothing, and Qiao's shopkeeper is not visible, and he still compliments Gan Er.

Zhang Da beckoned Qiao's shopkeeper to eat vegetables while chatting with Gan Er, and asked him how the house at home was repaired, the family is so busy, your mother shouldn't have braised vegetables to sell.

"Sell it." Gan Er looked at the sky, "This time should be the time to sell, my sister-in-law opened a vegetable shop in Shiqiao, selling vegetables in the morning and braised vegetables in the afternoon." ”

"This relationship is good, I just think about your braised vegetables, and Fucheng doesn't sell this flavor." Zhang Da said.

"I'm going to have someone get some now?" Gan Er said that it happened that the sixth son came back at this time, with ice cream in his hand and a plate of braised vegetables, all of which were put on the table, "I happened to start the pot when I went to deliver ice cheese to my sister-in-law, thinking that Uncle Zhang hadn't come back for a long time, maybe I wanted this taste." ”

"You kid is clever, your shopkeeper has finally trained you." Zhang Da laughed and said, he warmly greeted the shopkeeper Qiao to eat, the shopkeeper Qiao smiled well, but did not stretch out the chopsticks, in the Fucheng this stewed is difficult to get into the elegant hall, Zhang Da also saw that he didn't like these things, okay, he ate by himself.

Zhang Da accompanied people to come, ate and drank well by himself, and when he left, he also said that when the new house was completed, he would definitely invite him back to drink.

Gan Er should be.

Before Zhang Da returned to the city, he wanted to buy some braised vegetables to go home and taste them for his family, Qiao shopkeeper had nothing to do, and when he arrived at his sister-in-law's vegetable shop that Gan Er said, he first saw a long line of people, and the people in line included mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as old man Langjun, and half a child, while tiptoeing to see how many people in front of him, he smelled the fragrance and snorted.

"Jiangyang likes to eat stew so much here?" Shopkeeper Joe asked curiously.

"Not really." Zhang Da said, "The pickled vegetables of the Gan family are different from those made by the other family, they are very delicious, and they are not expensive, and the men of his family kill pigs and often make meat to eat, so the meat is better than others." ”

Xu is this atmosphere infected Shopkeeper Qiao, and he suddenly wanted to try what the taste of this Gan's braised vegetables was? But he was embarrassed to buy it in front of Zhang Da, so he said that he wanted to stay in Jiangyang for one more night, he didn't leave, and Zhang Da didn't go as an escort.

Shopkeeper Qiao inquired about Gan Er's restaurant in the inn, this Gan's restaurant is also well-known in Jiangyang, his dishes are new and fast, the price is fair, people in this half of the city are the first choice for his restaurant, and the other half of the city is too far away.

"His family has a new fried gold recipe before, made of tofu, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, not to mention how delicious it is, and the restaurant here also learns from him to fry tofu, but it can't be fried." The innkeeper said, "Now I still go to his house every once in a while to order this dish to eat, and his family makes eel, and the south fried eel, my old man loves this the most." ”

This made Qiao's shopkeeper confused, Zhang Da said that the Gan family was good at making meat dishes, and this person said that the Gan family was good at making tofu and eel, but there was a good cook in the restaurant, which was fundamental, "I don't know where his chef invited the master?" Shopkeeper Joe asked jokingly.

"There is nothing unusual about his cook, he learned the art from his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is a cook who cooks for people in the city and the countryside, and his skills are still good."

"The Gan family has their own recipes." The innkeeper said, "His food came out, but there was no land next to it." How many people can't buy it if they want to spend money, so they can only eat it themselves, and then go back and try to do it, and it's okay to be a seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, not only in Jiangyang City, Fucheng, Jiangyin, Shu County, there are restaurant chefs who come to him to eat and steal teachers. ”

Shopkeeper Qiao put away his contempt for Gan Er, and reassessed him in his heart.

Early the next morning, he casually walked around Jiangyang, and then went to Gan Er Restaurant to be the first guest at noon, "Yesterday, the second shopkeeper hid it with me, and I didn't take out the ability to be a housekeeper, don't hide it today, I have inquired about what your signature dishes are." Shopkeeper Qiao said with a smile.

Gan Er didn't know why he came again, so he could only smile and say, "I can't say if the food is prepared in this restaurant, I ordered it earlier, and I didn't come late, when you came yesterday, there were no dishes, what you want to eat today, as long as the kitchen is prepared, I will give you all of it." ”

Shopkeeper Qiao occupied a table today, sat from the first table to the last table, and watched how Gan Er greeted the guests. This restaurant is small, it is really small, a shopkeeper is a small two, the kitchen is a cook and a helper, just four people, one noon to entertain thirty tables, downstairs eight tables, upstairs six, there are four on the street outside, just eighteen tables, at noon can be full, but also round the table, there are people in the middle to pack, Qiao shopkeeper roughly calculate the profit, such an inconspicuous small restaurant, the daily flow is very considerable, if it is put in the city, the area of the restaurant doubles, and the number of people who eat also doubles, That's a lot of money a day.

When Gan Er was free, the shopkeeper Qiao discussed cooperation with him in a more sincere tone, he first introduced to Gan Er the place where he was going to open a restaurant, the intersection of Fucheng into the east city gate, out of the city is the wharf, on the left hand side is the Chamber of Commerce, there are a lot of people passing by every day, the restaurant has three floors, the hall on the first floor can put twenty tables, the second floor is a compartment, can put twelve tables, and the third floor is six private rooms.

"Either you don't do it, or you want to make it a big restaurant." Qiao shopkeeper said, "I have never done a restaurant business before, I have no bottom in my heart, the second shopkeeper has experience in doing a restaurant, we cooperate, I pay for the land, you only have one person, responsible for managing the daily life of the restaurant, the profit is one year, I am six and you are four." ”

"I have a lot of sincerity and want to cooperate with you, second shopkeeper, you should think about it."
