Chapter 9: Death!
Following.
Liu Ming was worried again.
Gao Zhutou told him early in the morning that after tomorrow, the holiday would be over, and they would have to return to the errand, and they could no longer help.
Chef Yang himself had two apprentices, but he was detained by Bazhen Lou and refused to let them go.
Once the catchers are withdrawn, there will be a shortage of people in the store.
Now that the business in the store is booming, within two days, Liu Ming must find some helpers by himself.
He had no choice but to find Li Lu and beg Li Lu to help him find some good people to come and help.
Li Lu quickly found a good candidate for him.
These people are all those who think the wages are low in the major restaurants, and when they heard that they can follow Chef Yang, the wages are higher, so they naturally ran over.
After the people came, Li Lu pulled Liu Ming aside and deliberately reminded: "Your practice of grabbing money and paying wages must be stopped." ”
Liu Ming looked at him puzzled.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, my people, I can control them, and other people's people may not be able to control them."
"How much should I be paid?" Liu Ming asked.
Li Lu glanced at him and said, "You ask Chef Yang to go, where do I know?" ”
What Liu Ming never expected was that the price offered by Chef Yang turned out to be a package of food, with a monthly price of fifty yuan.
It's too cheap too!
The reason given by Chef Yang is: "There are rules and regulations, we are now short of people and urgent, add ten big coins, the peers can understand, but if we give too much, the peers will hate us." ”
Ancient version of the involution?
In fact, in all the restaurants and restaurants in Mingyang County, the price of the dun is 40 yuan.
It's not surprising that it's cheap, Mingyang County is poor, and most of the low-level people can eat a meal, and they are already a good family.
Most of them can only drink some rice as thin as rice soup, save the rice and noodles, and eat them vigorously when the farming needs to be exhausted.
If it weren't for the loss of land at home, few people would be willing to come out and be a mound.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the price of the pier is cheap.
Chef Yang now makes instant noodles and adds some dishes to them, such as cucumber slices, bean sprouts, etc., specifically for members.
These tricks are added to make members very satisfied.
He reminded Liu Ming that the flow of customers in the store is relatively large now, and it is necessary to consider zoning to separate members from non-members.
But Liu Ming decisively refused.
If they are separated, how do non-members know how cool it is to be a member?
I don't know, how to recharge?
And just like that, another week passed.
Instant noodles are all kinds of good, but they are easy to get tired of.
The flow of customers in the store has also returned to normal, and about 600 bowls are served a day.
There are fewer and fewer customers who have become members, and yesterday there were even only two guests who signed up.
The silver was enough to save a hundred taels, but Chef Yang was in a hurry.
He doesn't have a fixed salary, and his daily profit is 10 percent, and the decline in earnings means that his salary will also go down.
Today, he was anxious all day, and finally couldn't help it, and stopped Liu Ming before closing the store to talk to Liu Ming.
Unexpectedly, he wanted to buy the shop next to him, and then break through the partition wall between the two stores to make a chase shop.
After that, he started selling vegetables.
He is good at the dishes, and he can also make more money.
The owner of the shop next to him had already moved into Dongcheng, and the shop had been idle for several years, so he handed the shop to the yamen to watch, and the letter left for the yamen was to sell it when he saw the money.
The two went to the yamen, and when they asked the price, they asked for twenty taels of silver.
Chef Yang took out all of this week's wages, plus his own savings, and made up a total of six taels of silver.
Seeing that he was pitiful, Liu Ming simply gave him twenty taels and explained to him.
Expand the store and expand the store, noodles, 1,000 bowls a day, 10 wen a bowl, no negotiation.
He nodded excitedly, and was about to run away with the title deed.
Liu Ming hurriedly stopped him and asked him if he could make koji.
After explaining for a long time, he finally figured out what the koji was, and said with some grievances: "The shopkeeper looks down on people, isn't it just a wine primer, how can the cook not?" ”
Since he would, it would be easy to do.
Liu Ming told him to get some wine to introduce it, teach him to make some wine by himself, make money, and divide the accounts according to the old rules.
At this time, Chef Yang really ran, and while running, he shouted excitedly.
Liu Ming returned to the yamen, found Li Lu, told him, told him to wait, and drank after a while.
Li Lu pursed his lips and said, "You are an expert in making noodles, but when making wine, you just don't poison us." ”
Liu Ming snorted him, turned around and left.
I didn't know that as soon as I returned to the store, I didn't sit down for a while, and something big happened.
A raw guest, eating and eating, suddenly fell to the ground, and then spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Poisonous! This side is poisonous! ”
His companion stood up, and with a look of horror on his face, he kept backing and knocked over the table behind him!
Several helpers all came out, and Chef Yang also came out.
He twisted the kitchen knife in his hand, looked fierce and vicious, and said angrily: "It's on your grandfather Yang's head, and you dare to say that Lao Tzu's things are poisonous!" ”
The man on the ground was still vomiting blood, and his companion suddenly knelt down on him, lying on top of him, crying, "Big brother! Big brother! Our whole family is counting on you to earn money alone, how can we live if you die......"
He cried so much that even Chef Yang had no confidence.
Zhang Yuanwai, who was eating noodles on the side, leaned forward worriedly.
He patted Liu Ming and said, "Hurry up and check, is there really a problem?" ”
Liu Ming shook his head and said, "Impossible, most of the people in this county have eaten my noodles, and I haven't seen anyone have problems." ”
As soon as the companion heard Liu Ming's words, he immediately stood up, with an angry face, and leaned towards Liu Ming.
He clenched his fists with both hands, glared at Liu Ming angrily, and said, "You killed my eldest brother!" You pay for my life! Report to the officer! Hurry up and report to the official! ”
Hearing the report, Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly took a step back and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, pay some money, this is a life, if you report to the official, according to Mushan's law, you can't keep this shop, you have to be exiled......"
"It doesn't matter, the merits are determined."
Liu Ming waved his hand and said, "Chef Yang, you personally go to the county government to report to the official, let the head catcher on duty come over, let's say to your face, the rest of the people, surround this person, no one is allowed to touch him!" ”
The head catcher on duty arrived at the store, glanced at me, and then at the person lying on the ground, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
His companion immediately knelt down at him, hitting his head on the ground with a thud!
"My lord! There are old and young grass people, and today is my brother's birthday, so I came here to eat a bowl of noodles, but I didn't expect my brother to be poisoned and die here! Please make the decision for us! ”
Gao Zhutou glanced at the people on the ground again, frowned again, and said, "Dead?" ”
"Dead! My lord! ”
His companion was still kowtowing, and his head was bleeding.
Zhang Yuanwai stabbed Liu Ming lightly with a fan, and whispered: "Admit it, lose some money, and fight for selfishness." ”
At this time, Liu Ming sneered again: "Thank you Zhang Yuanwai for your kindness, but I won't lose any money for this money!" ”
With that, he walked up to the lying man, grabbed his fingers, and said, "Chef Yang, borrow a kitchen knife!" ”
"Liu Ming! Don't be fooled! Insulting corpses is an additional crime! ”
