Chapter Seventy-Three: Drunkenness
After the scolding ended, the proprietress turned her head to look at Su Shi and said with a smile: "Don't blame Childe, these children are undisciplined, if you collide with Childe, please don't blame." ”
Su Shi looked at the group of children curiously, and found that the oldest of the children was only seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old, so he couldn't help but ask, "What about the parents of these children?" ”
The proprietress was about thirty years old, with a round face, a high nose, and a slightly chubby body. Seeing Su Shi asking about the situation of those children, he smiled bitterly: "These dolls are all orphans, otherwise they would not have fallen here." ”
Su Shi glanced at the children again, and saw that although they were dressed in tatters, they all had ruddy faces, and they were obviously not hungry, so he looked at the proprietress with a smile: "It seems that the proprietress is kind-hearted, and these dolls have something to rely on." ”
Hearing this, the proprietress couldn't help but sigh: "I also see these dolls pitiful, so I will give them some leftovers every day, but it's just ......"
Speaking of this, the proprietress suddenly showed a worried expression.
"Just what?"
By this time the group of children had finished eating, and as if afraid of disturbing them, some of them carefully put away the dishes and chopsticks, while others vigorously wiped the table.
The proprietress sighed, "I don't know how long I can take care of them." ”
Su Shi looked around, it was the time to eat, but there were only two guests, Su Shi and Lin Mo, on the dozen or so small tables.
"Bad business?"
"Since three or four restaurants selling vegetables have opened here in a row, my business has plummeted, and I don't know how long it will last?"
Su Shi said with a smile: "Since there is a newly opened restaurant, it is also instinctive for diners to try new ones, so it will be good to wait for this freshness to pass." ”
The boss smiled bitterly: "I hope it is as Childe said." ”
Then she beckoned again: "I wonder what Childe wants to taste today?" ”
Su Shi looked at the recipe on the wall and said, "A deer breast, a ginger fish fillet." Saying that, he asked Lin Mo again: "What do you like?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head: "Childe just decides." ”
"Then serve a plate of fried beef tenderloin with green onions and a lotus tofu."
The proprietress hurriedly said: "Childe, the dishes in the small shop are very large, there are only two of you, and I am afraid that you will not be able to finish the four dishes." ”
Su Shi smiled and said, "You can come up." As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Mo: "He eats very well, and I'm worried that these four dishes are not enough." ”
The proprietress had no choice but to say, "Then please wait a while." ”
Su Shi nodded slightly.
At this time, the children cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, ran away with a smoke, and then disappeared into the crowd.
Su Shi looked at the backs of those children, and said with a smile: "This boss lady has a good heart." ”
"Yes."
Su Shi looked around for another week, straightened his waist, and continued: "This place is not bad. ”
"Not bad."
Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that the business is a little worse." ”
Lin Mo looked at it suddenly, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.
"You want me to help her?"
Lin Mo said silently: "The boss lady is a good person. ”
"I know."
"Good people should be rewarded."
Su Shi suddenly looked at Lin Mo with some curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "Am I a good person?" ”
Lin Mo closed his mouth and refused to answer the question.
Although he followed Su Shi in the past few days, he saw that he was no longer as domineering and arrogant as before, and he would even help others, but the impression left on him by Su Shi was too deep, and the temporary change did not make Lin Mo change his opinion.
Su Shi was not reluctant, but said lightly: "What if I help the boss lady?" ”
Lin Mo's eyes lit up: "Childe is willing to help the boss?" ”
Although Lin Mo still had opinions on Su Shi's character, he was extremely impressed by his methods.
Especially yesterday by the Mirror Lake, Su Shi only wrote a few words, and the black plum soup that no one cared about was sold out.
Su Shi smiled: "You didn't say that good people should have good rewards. ”
Seeing that Su Shi agreed with his words, Lin Mo scratched his head a little embarrassed, and a rare expression of embarrassment appeared on his honest face.
"The villain is just nonsense, don't blame the child."
Su Shi sighed: "Good people have good rewards, this should be the principle of the world, how can it be nonsense." ”
While the two were chatting, the proprietress came to them with a plate of fried beef tenderloin with green onions.
Looking at this plate of spiky scallion fried beef tenderloin, Su Shi couldn't help but smile: "The proprietress is really a real person." ”
The proprietress put down the plate, turned around and took another pot of wine and two cups and put them in front of Su Shi and Lin Mo.
"The first time the two distinguished guests came to our store, this pot of wine was given to the two distinguished guests by the small shop, and I hope you don't dislike it."
"Thank you, lady." Su Shi picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of beef tenderloin, only to feel that his mouth was full of crispy, and couldn't help but praise: "The cooking skills are good." ”
Lin Mo had already poured him a full glass of wine, and Su Shi took a sip, and the taste of the wine was a little average.
Su Shi put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "The so-called come and don't be rude, since the boss lady gave me a good wine, I naturally want to give it back to the boss lady." ”
The proprietress hurriedly said: "As long as the son doesn't dislike it, how dare I ask the son to give it back." ”
Su Shi said: "Don't be busy refusing first, I have a few things I want to ask you." ”
"Childe, but it's okay to ask."
"This chef is very good, is it your husband?"
The proprietress nodded and said, "What Childe said is that it is my father-in-law." ”
"How long have you been doing this?"
"It's been more than a year."
Su Shi continued to ask, "It's the first time you're doing business, right?" ”
The proprietress replied: "Exactly, my husband was originally the chef of Yunfu Building, and after Yunfu closed two years ago, we used all our savings to open this shop." Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "After opening this store, I realized that business is not as easy as I imagined, and I just barely make ends meet when I get up early and stay late." ”
Su Shi nodded and continued: "Your skills are very good, the price of the dishes is also very fair, and this restaurant is in a densely populated area, so it stands to reason that it should be very profitable." ”
Before the proprietress could speak, Su Shi continued: "The problem is that you are doing business for the first time, so you are inexperienced, so you can't make money. ”
The proprietress smiled bitterly: "Now we also know that we are not the material for doing business, but it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to let our hard work be wasted, and we can only last as long as we want." ”
Su Shi suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be so pessimistic, in my opinion, it's very simple to make money." ”
The proprietress was stunned: "Simple? ”
Su Shi nodded and said, "As long as you change it slightly, not to mention the daily progress, it should be no problem to return to the capital within a year." ”
"Recoup in a year?" The proprietress looked at Su Shi hesitantly, although there was some expectation in her eyes, she didn't have much hope.
Su Shi smiled and said: "This is the gift I am going to give back to the proprietress, is the proprietress willing to accept it?" ”
