Chapter 20: Serving
Cao County ordered the largest government-run liquor store in the county - Kaixing liquor store
It was allocated to Yuerou Yue'e for use.
On the day of the opening, Chen Fan, Li Xing, and some county officials all went.
Chen Fan and the county officials hung the blue signboard high.
There are also flower pots at the door, and a notice board is placed at the entrance of the liquor store.
It reads:
"New store opening! A variety of new dishes are available for diners to try.
It's a good time to open! Anyone can try it for free for three days! Outdated does not wait! “
Chen Fan refused the person who played the gong and drum arranged by Master Du.
He felt that being too flamboyant might make the people feel flashy.
So they just ordered Yuerou not to put off the fire first, and to be ready to cook at any time.
And put some of the prepared meals on the table on the first floor of the restaurant.
People passing by the door sniffed the aroma and stopped to watch.
They looked at the notices, and some of them didn't understand what was written on them.
But Da Zhou has tried his best to popularize education, and there are still some people who understand.
Most of them were women who worked, and some of them said;
"Anyone can eat for free for three days! This is disaster relief! ”
In fact, this is just a drizzle for the yamen.
Because in the past few days, Chen Fan and they have vigorously promoted the method of hunting.
The prey caught these days alone is enough to feed the entire county for a week.
The county has not eaten meat from other counties for five days.
In order to supply the government-run liquor store, Chen Fan and the others decided to keep some of the capital.
Otherwise, it will be self-sufficient.
However, hunting for meat is not a long-term solution.
Without captive-bred livestock to provide a constant supply of meat, the liquor store would not be self-sufficient for long.
Although Zeng County is rich in products, it can only last for 45 years.
Chen Fan decided to use these wild animals first, and when he made enough money, he began to arrange other industries.
The crowd heard these words and gathered around.
"What's written on this?"
"It's about the opening of a new store, some new dishes, and anyone can try them for free for three days!"
"Ahh They should want to invite dignitaries to eat! How could it be that we should eat it! ”
"Let's go! Let's go! Is there such a good thing in the world? ”
Hearing this, Li Xing glanced at a beggar sitting at the corner of the street.
The beggar had the word beggar tattooed on his face.
Such persons are generally convicted of serious crimes and released after being held in detention.
When they are released from prison, they usually have begging words tattooed on their faces.
This kind of word means that you have been blacklisted by the state and are not allowed to engage in any profession.
Nor can they own any possessions, but can only live by begging and wandering.
The beggar walked straight over, and the crowd moved away from him.
"It's really unfortunate to die, this kind of person is embarrassed to sit here!
Aren't you afraid of being driven away? Aren't you afraid of being beaten? “
"This kind of person generally has a problem with his brain, gas!"
Everyone looked at the clerks at the door, all of them men.
Hopefully I can drive this beggar away.
Instead, the beggar gets an inch. Ask directly!
"Didn't you say anyone can eat here?
Labor and management can't! “
The crowd pointed at the beggars, and the number of onlookers increased!
Everyone also secretly watched the reaction of the liquor stores.
At this time, Yue'e stood up and spoke.
"This restaurant was approved by Cao County, and he said that anyone can eat it.
Even if they are poor, or sinful. As long as you come to our restaurant to eat, you can enjoy it for free for three days. “
The crowd was quiet, but they were still skeptical. Neither one speaks.
Li Xing glanced at the few clerks behind him.
They nodded and invited the beggar into the wine shop.
As the beggar entered, he turned back and stuck out his tongue at the crowd that was laughing at him.
He laughed and entered the liquor store.
Leave the people with bewildered faces!
"Did you really let him in?"
"Then we can go in too"
"Forget it, I don't want to eat with this kind of person!"
Yue'e opened her mouth again with a wave of rhythm, guiding the tone of the crowd.
"Don't worry, each of our guests will prepare a round table to serve their dishes.
You can eat by yourself or bring your own people to eat.
Eating happily is the happiest thing for us bosses!
I hope you will be considerate of each other, and you can only eat happily when you enter this restaurant, and you don't have to care about others!
After speaking, Yue'e made an invitation gesture to everyone.
Everyone was unmoved, because they couldn't believe it!
It can be seen that Yue'e has maintained that posture for a long time, and the whole feeling is that they are full of sincerity.
So I went in and had a look at it first.
After everyone entered, they were invited to sit by the shopkeepers.
I felt that they were very attentive and unaccustomed to it for a while.
When they sat down, they saw the menu on the table, with the names of the dishes and the prices written on them.
Since they provide their own raw materials, the ingredients are provided by hunters.
Chen Fan calculated the cost price and set the price as fairly as possible.
The crowd had never seen the menu.
They looked at each other and asked:
"What is this? Is it the name of the dish and the price of the dish? ”
"My sister is really ice and snow smart! Exactly! Just order whatever you want!
We'll serve it right away! “
Everyone saw that the price was still very fair, and felt that it was full of sincerity.
I also feel that there is really money here!
"Braised pork! Sour and spicy shredded potatoes! Boiled pork slices! Cold noodles ——————"
"Sister, don't order so much, if you can't finish the tasting, you will have to pay!
You can order it after eating, or come back tomorrow! “
Everyone no longer wants to read all the dishes on the menu.
I started ordering one or two dishes.
Yue'e and the others recorded the dishes ordered by everyone and handed them over to the back kitchen.
"Yue Rou Yue Rou is alive! Come to life! “
When the people in the back kitchen heard this, they started to work one after another, and they cooked in an orderly manner!
As one dish after another came to the table, along with one chopstick after another chopsticks of food were delivered to the mouth.
One after another, the voices of surprise and admiration came and went.
Plate after plate was eaten cleanly.
This was followed by the sound of ordering food one after another.
Ke Yuerou took all the kitchen ladies in the back kitchen to withstand the pressure and drive at full speed.
There is a dish on it.
In a short time, the plates in the back kitchen were already piled high. Waiting for someone to wash.
But that wasn't for long.
Everyone hurried away after they had eaten, and only some of the men who didn't have to do anything remained.
They continue to eat, and they have something to do, but they have to do it, or their husbands
will scold them.
It's a pity that they don't pack it, otherwise they may have to move the Kaixing wine shop home.
A woman ran to Yue'e, who was greeting everyone, and prayed:
"Sister, can I bring some food back to my daughter?"
Yue'e was a little choked and in a trance.
She remembered that the meat she had eaten since she was a child only came from two people - Chen Fan and her mother
"Oooh! It's okay sister, you can go to the back door and wait, I'll send it to you later! ”
