Chapter 2 People borrow me, and the face is free

Li Lu ate three bowls in succession and left satisfied, leaving behind thirty big coins.

Liu Ming made a rough calculation and lamented again.

A bowl of noodles is ten big coins, and a thousand big coins can be exchanged for one or two silver.

Fifty taels of silver means that five thousand bowls of instant noodles will be sold.

Except for today, there are five days left.

Every minute and every second left has to be made quickly.

He was worried when the door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and Li Luxing rushed in.

"Liu Ming, I promise you, bring you customers, you see, I called our brothers from the county government."

Liu Ming poked his head out of the stove, only to see Li Lu alone, but with a smug face.

"What about people?" Liu Ming said tentatively.

"Brothers, come on in!"

Suddenly, more than 20 men poured into the house one after another.

Some of them were dressed in quick clothes, and the rest were dressed in regular clothes, and when they entered the door, they each found their seats and sat down.

"Boss, you pat your chest to ensure that it is delicious, if it is not delicious, what do you say?"

"He must be allowed to wash the bowls for a month."

"Eh, man, that's a good idea."

"That is, when the time comes, we will tear down the wall of the Yamen water room, let everyone take a look, and the head will personally wash the dishes."

"Hahaha......"

In the midst of the noise, Liu Ming looked at Li Lu blankly, and sighed in his heart.

Li Lu pushed him and said with a smile: "Hurry up, don't get your knife to cut the noodles, otherwise I will drag you to brush the dishes together." ”

Liu Ming also smiled, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

He picked up the instant noodles, tore off the bag, and soaked them into the bowl one by one.

It seems that he has a way to do it for five days and five thousand bowls of noodles.

More than 20 bowls of noodles were all on the table, but the catchers didn't move their chopsticks.

The expressions on their faces were exactly the same as when Li Lu first saw them.

Nervous, sluggish, and even a little scared.

Seeing this, Li Lu picked up a bowl of noodles and took a bite, and said, "What are you afraid of, give it to Lao Tzu!" ”

The first catcher quickly raised his face, his face was embarrassed, and when he raised his head, he collided with Li Lu's eyes.

He hesitated, closed his eyes, and stuffed the noodles into his mouth as if he were taking medicine.

After only two chews, he stood up in shock!

"Delicious noodles! It's so fragrant too! ”

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the noodles with chopsticks, and with the steaming heat, he took a bite and wrapped it into his mouth.

The bite alone was not enough, and he also drank a mouthful of soup!

"Fragrant, so fragrant! In comparison, the dishes of Bazhen House are simply hard to swallow! ”

Seeing his reaction, the rest of the catchers also got off their chopsticks.

In less than a minute, shouts filled the entire noodle restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, another bowl!"

Three bowls of noodles per capita, stretching the catchers straight to hiccup.

After eating, the catchers still wanted to rest for a while, but Li Lu slapped the horse chopping knife on the table and scolded with a smile: "Don't be lazy, after eating, everyone who should work will work!" ”

Dang Wei, who was dressed in a fast hunting suit, stood up, took his saber and went out.

There were only Li Lu left in the store, and less than ten catchers in regular clothes.

Li Lu opened his purse, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to Liu Ming, and said, "Take it, don't look for it, count the face money you earned for me." ”

Liu Ming smiled and pushed the silver back to him: "I'll invite you for this meal." ”

"How's that going to work?" Li Lu stuffed the silver again: "We are on an errand, and eating your noodles for nothing is tantamount to taking a bribe." ”

"Don't eat for nothing, do me a favor, this is the reward."

Liu Ming smiled so badly that Li Lu's back was cold, and he couldn't help but take two steps back and asked, "You say it first, I'll consider whether to agree or not." ”

"Simple, how about borrowing a few of you and helping me for a few days?"

Li Lu glanced at the store, although it was very dirty, but according to the market price, cleaning the house was worth two meals and two catties of corn, which was far less than a penny.

He looked at Liu Ming vigilantly, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Ming's gourd.

Liu Ming knew his worries, so he hurriedly explained: "Master Li, you also know that I still owe a huge amount of fifty taels of silver, and this money should be borrowed from a few of you for only five days, is it okay?" ”

"No, they are all poor people, and they are taking Mingyang's taxes, how can they use the silver to work for others?"

Li Lu is so principled, but he didn't expect it.

He sighed a little, and then said, "The brother who is staying now should be on vacation, right?" ”

"Yes."

"How about borrowing these brothers on vacation?"

Without waiting for Li Lu to reply, he said again: "Help my brother, after this hurdle, the brothers of the county government will eat noodles for free in the future, and if you can't pass this hurdle, my brother I will go to prison, but there will be no noodles to eat." ”

Before Li Lu could reply, a catcher quickly stood up: "Free? Total Head! I've got it! ”

Another catcher also echoed: "Chief, I will also take this job, and I will never delay the serious business!" ”

"I'm the same!"

Seeing the enthusiasm of his brothers, Li Lu couldn't help but think.

Mingyang County is poor, and the errand is not rich, as the head of the company, he has one or two silver per month, but the catchers are only two or three dollars a month.

Even if it is a bowl of noodles for ten big dollars, the brothers are reluctant to eat it.

The question of money, he can't do anything about it.

But if you can let them have some noodles to eat, it will be regarded as compensation for them.

"Okay, just these few days, I will lend you people, and for the past five days, I will personally come to keep an eye on it."

With that, Li Lu twisted his horse chopping knife and strode towards the door: "Liu Ming, you must give me this hurdle!" ”

Following.

Li Lu came to the noodle restaurant early in the morning.

However, the meeting hall has been renovated, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the counter has been moved to the door.

Liu Ming stood at the door, and said with a hippie smile: "Master Li, are you here?" Inside, please? ”

Li Lu walked in without knowing it, and Liu Ming hurriedly got into the counter, took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to him.

I saw it written on the paper.

Braised beef noodles [strong fragrance], bamboo shoot beef noodles [spicy flavor], stewed chicken noodles with mushrooms [fresh fragrance]......

At first glance, there are eight or nine different flavors.

"It's ...... What do you mean? Li Lu didn't understand.

"Master Li, you choose one first."

Liu Ming was still hippie and smiling, Li Lu did not doubt that he had it, and pointed to the braised beef noodles and said, "I want this." ”

Liu Ming ticked the braised beef noodles on the list, turned his head and shouted towards the stove: "Customer No. 1, braised beef noodles, one serving!" ”

After that, he took out a bamboo plaque with the word 'one' written on it and handed it to Li Lu.

"Master Li, you sit casually, remember, if someone calls No. 1, you will agree."

Li Lu held the bamboo card, still confused, he casually found a place to sit down, and after a while, his subordinate came out with a bowl of noodles.

"Customer No. 1, where?"

Li Lu sighed, and brought the noodles over with a smile.

Before he moved the chopsticks, Li Lu understood.

He looked at Liu Ming and said in surprise: "You have to have a lot of people to use this set of things, right?" Are you sure you have enough customers? ”

"It must be enough!"

At this time, Liu Ming was full of confidence.
