Chapter 14 Liu Ji Hot Pot Restaurant
And so it was, another five days.
In the past five days, the threshold of Bazhen Building has been stepped on a little.
And Liu Ji Noodle Restaurant, the door can be crowded.
Liu Yuanwai stood at the corner of the street and secretly looked at Liu Ming who was sitting at the door of the store.
He couldn't understand why Liu Ming could be so calm.
It's as if he won this competition.
Opening a restaurant is different from selling porcelain.
The porcelain can't be sold, you can sit in the store and play, but the dishes can't be sold, and in this weather, it's spoiled overnight.
Every day, his subordinates would see a fire in the backyard of Liu Kee Noodle Restaurant, burning the noodles that could not be sold.
This Liu Ji saw the loss of money in the sky, and he lost a lot more than himself, why didn't Liu Ming panic?
Why?
After waiting for a while, I saw eight or nine workers running out of the shop next to me, and the foreman walked into the Liu Ji noodle shop and said something to Liu Ming.
Then, Liu Ming actually opened the money box, took out twelve taels of silver and handed it to the workers!
He still has money to hire workers? What kind of work costs twelve taels of silver?
An ominous premonition appeared in Liu Yuanwai's heart.
After the workers left, Liu Ming took Chef Yang and a few piers into the shop next to him.
When the last pier went out, there was a sign in the store that it was temporarily closed!
After a short time, Liu Ming came out of the new store again and commanded the pier to hang a plaque covered with red cloth.
Can't compete with yourself, so close your doors and open a new store?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuanwai suddenly felt comfortable.
He saw Chef Yang laughing with many folds on his face, and he laughed himself.
"Heh, Yang Gonglu, you are just the worst of the five chefs, do you think you can survive in front of Bazhen Lou with you?"
Liu Yuanwai sneered, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and was too lazy to look at it.
Not long after he left, Zhang Yuanwai ran over happily.
After arriving at the new store, he said hello to Liu Ming and ran up to the second floor by himself.
Liu Ming followed behind him and immediately went up.
But I saw that he opened his mouth wide, stuck in place, and said, "Shopkeeper, you are ......"
But I saw that the renovation of the second floor was completed, and there was a large round wooden plate on the ground in the middle, and a guqin was placed on the wooden plate.
Around the wooden plate, there are about sixteen or seventeen tables, which happen to enclose the wooden plate.
There is a circular hole in the middle of each table, about two feet wide and narrow.
The bench next to the table was not there, and was replaced with a small Arhat bed just big enough for the two of them to sit on.
"I invited gongs and drums today, walked around the city, opened tomorrow, and invited Zhang Yuanwai to come to admire his face."
Zhang Yuanwai scratched his head: "Shopkeeper, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" ”
"Keep it a secret for now."
"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow, I've got dozens of gourmets, don't embarrass me."
After Zhang Yuan left, Liu Ming's expression suddenly became a little nervous.
This is the first time in his two lives that he has opened his own store.
Before the crossing, he was just an otaku, and he didn't know anything but lifting the bar and brewing all kinds of fruit wine.
But after the crossing, he became the shopkeeper of Liu Ji, and there were gradually excellent people like Chef Yang around him.
He took a deep breath, and the tension in his heart faded considerably.
"Chef Yang, is the meat ready?"
"I've been ready for a long time, according to what you said, all kinds of meat that can be bought in the world are all bought and all sliced." Chef Yang said with a smile.
"What about the dishes?"
"According to what you said, I've bought it back, but I'm still cutting it, and I can finish cutting it today."
"Where's the blacksmith?"
"Okay, you have to be in a hurry, he charges two more cents."
"Good!"
Liu Ming applauded.
He didn't know if he was praising Chef Yang or cheering himself up.
"You get busy first, I'll go to the yamen."
……
After returning from the yamen, Liu Ming was a little discouraged.
He really didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to invite a girl who could play the guqin in ancient times.
Ancient women were virtuous and virtuous, and women from high-ranking families paid attention to the fact that they did not go out of the door.
The guqin player in modern words was called a musician in ancient times.
Li Lu told Liu Ming that these women were untouchables and were under the management of the imperial court.
If you want to hire a musician to play in your home, the price is very unaffordable.
Two taels of silver, one day.
It's good to say that Liu Ming has saved a lot these days.
And most importantly, the formalities.
When Liu Ming was redecorating the store, he had already approached Li Lu.
If you want to invite a female musician to come to the door, you must go to the Dongcheng Music Camp to seconded the female musician, and you must have a handwritten document from the local general manager.
But Li Lu himself didn't know whether he could be seconded to a female musician for a book, so he didn't give him a positive answer.
Seeing that it will open tomorrow, Liu Ming's heart is completely out of confidence.
It wasn't until three poles after the moon that he forced himself and closed his eyes.
The next day, the new store opened, and a large number of people gathered at the door to watch the excitement.
Many of them are regular customers of Liu Kee Noodle Restaurant.
When they saw Liu Ming appear, they all bowed their hands and said, "Congratulations to the shopkeeper Liu, congratulations." ”
Not long after, Zhang Yuanwai brought his friends to the scene.
These people are all famous gourmets in Mingyang.
I have also been to Liu Ji before, but I have never appeared a second time.
They are different from Zhang Yuanwai, Zhang Yuanwai does not pick the environment, he is willing to go if it is delicious and cheap.
But these people eat quality.
The first look at the taste, the second look at the environment, and if you don't want to come to Liu Ji again, you are stuck in the environment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming!"
As Liu Ming spoke, he jerked the rope in his hand, and the red cloth on the plaque also fell.
"Under the witness of all distinguished guests, Liu Ji hot pot restaurant will open today!"
The plaque under the red cloth reads five big characters of Liuji hot pot restaurant.
"Hot pot? What is Hot Pot? Have you ever eaten it? ”
"Haven't eaten it, what about you?"
"I don't have either, go in and have a look?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yuanwai was a little dissatisfied: "Go in and eat directly!" ”
With that, he took the lead and walked in.
A large group of gourmets jumped in after him and followed him up to the second floor.
After seeing the guqin, a gourmand was a little surprised: "This ...... Do you want to invite the little lady to come over and stroke the piano? ”
"I guess so." Another gourmand had already started laughing: "I don't know how the little lady looks." ”
Syllable.
A fan struck him on the head.
He turned his head in surprise, but saw an old glutton's face angry: "Womanizer, shame!" ”
The young glutton didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Zi said: Chromophobia, I'm in the prime of life, what about being lustful?" ”
When he said something, everyone burst into laughter.
"Of course, little Qin Niang, you can't keep me, if you can keep me, you have to look at the food of the shopkeeper!"
After that, he took the lead in finding a place to sit down, and said, "Shopkeeper, order!" ”
"I'm sorry, guest officer," Liu Ming walked over and said seriously: "Our store, don't order." ”
What Liu Ming said made the gourmets stunned.
How can there be a reason in the world not to let diners order?
In the silence of the audience, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Humph! Cast a mist before somebody's eyes! ”
Looking at the voice, the person who spoke was the old gourmet!
"Xie Caoyun, are you here too?"
Zhang Yuanwai said happily.
