Cangshui County is prosperous, and many people have a solid family background, so they don't hesitate to go outside to go to the restaurant.

Especially in late autumn, many mountain goods are on the market, and hunters and mountain people from several nearby counties will come to Cangshui County to do business.

When the locals meet relatives and relatives, they will inevitably have a meal between talking and laughing.

Therefore, Zhou's restaurant has been very busy recently, even if it is past the usual lunch time, in the afternoon, there are still some customers who come to order.

More than half of the tables and chairs in the lobby are seated by guests, talking and laughing, drinking and serving, and making a lot of noise.

"Guest, you're ready."

Zhou Zifan brought a plate of braised eel segments, trayed the tray under his armpit, and turned around and went into the kitchen.

In the big kitchen next door, more than a dozen people are still busy, they only came to change shifts at noon, and they still have more energy.

The fire under the three or four cauldrons has not been extinguished, some are boiling water, some are stir-frying, some are steaming, some are mixing meat filling, some are rolling dough and kneading dumplings.

The dumplings in Zhou's restaurant are a must, and the guests who come to basically order a plate, so they should prepare more in advance.

The curtain door on the other side of the kitchen, rolled up, was tied high.

When you enter the kitchen, you can see the view of the yard directly.

Those younger brothers and sisters with bad legs and feet sit in the yard to wash vegetables and kill fish and marinate meat.

In the past, several junior disciples who were picked off by the cloud sleeve sword technique and broke their hand tendons, and their hands were so shaky that they couldn't use their strength, cooperated with others, hung a rope around their necks, and had iron hooks on both sides, hooked the vegetable basket, and transported the vegetables from the yard into the kitchen.

"Qingqing."

Zhou Zifan walked to Liu Qingqing, the second junior sister who was adding firewood, bent down and said, "I'll come, you have finally had some appetite recently, don't be smoked too much, and you can't eat." ”

Liu Qingqing was also a sturdy and tall beauty back then, she didn't like rouge gouache, but she liked to buy clothes and boots, and when she practiced, she looked like a female leopard.

It's just that she was hit by Wang Hulou's leg five years ago and was shocked to her stomach, and although she healed, her appetite became very small, and she was easy to vomit if she ate a little more.

Those big eyes, which were originally very amorous, looked a little terrible on her thin face.

Recently, everyone has been practicing the Rama Mind in secret, and each of them has made some progress.

Liu Qingqing not only ate a little more rice, but even if he ate two pieces of greasy food such as braised pork, he would not spit it out.

Zhou Zifan was ten times happier than his own injury, and he unconsciously wanted her to raise better.

"I've been burning it for five years, and I'm used to it."

Liu Qingqing nudged him gently, "You still have to wait for the food to be served, don't be in a hurry to serve the food, just go to the door and have a look." ”

In their restaurant, there are only a few people who can serve food to diners without affecting the appetite of customers.

Zhou Zifan is the most eloquent among the few people, so he not only has to serve the food and have a little free time, but also stands at the door to see if he can attract more guests.

"Okay, I'll go later."

Zhou Zifan took a bowl, scooped half a bowl of hot water and blew it, ready to drink something to moisten his throat first.

Liu Qingqing picked the firewood in the stove, his face was red by the firelight, and he raised his head and said, "Today is the second day of the autumn hunt, and I don't know what happened to the little junior brothers." ”

"Don't worry."

Zhou Zifan squatted down and said in a low voice, "The little junior brother can already run and jump, with his skills, he should not be much inferior to Huang Qianli and Liu Qifeng." ”

"I estimate that this year's record will be several times higher than last year, and if we are lucky, we may be able to break into the top three."

Liu Qingqing said worriedly: "But after all, those people are several years older than the junior brother, and some people are even more than ten years older than him, their skills can be equal, and their experience in battle is also very different." ”

Zhou Zifan said with a smile: "The goal of the little junior brother is to show that our Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion has hope of revival, he is eyeing the prey, and he is not directly going to those people to take revenge, what are you afraid of?" ”

He blew hot water again, drank it in a few sips, scooped half a bowl again, put it beside Liu Qingqing, and left the kitchen, walked through the lobby, and went outside the door.

There are still many pedestrians on the road.

But Zhou Zifan looked at their step-by-step appearance, and knew that many people had just eaten, so he didn't get in the way in front of those people.

In the old Huangjia restaurant across the street, there were not many people in the store, and the shopkeeper and his buddies were squatting outside the threshold.

Seeing Zhou Zifan come out, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, business is so good today." ”

Zhou Zifan smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

"Hey! What blessings do I have? ”

The shopkeeper sighed, "If I were blessed, there wouldn't be no one in the store." Hey, you say, isn't he, your shop has a very good feng shui? ”

Zhou Zifan just smiled and stopped talking.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant got up and walked into the house, and as soon as he turned the side of the door, he snorted hard when he reached a place where people outside could not see.

"A group of cripples, robbing Lao Tzu's business, those people are not afraid of these crippled meals, they don't do it cleanly, they eat it and kill it."

The shopkeeper scolded a few words, turned his head and said to the guy, "What about the feng shui gentleman I asked you to invite?" ”

The guy said, "The people around us who watch the feng shui spirit have all been invited." ”

As he spoke, another guy came running from the back kitchen.

"Shopkeeper, the batch of buns that were sent to the Huang Lao Ye Martial Arts Hall two days ago, there are still some leftovers, I'm afraid it will be bad if I put it again, so bring it back to us tonight."

"Take it back?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, "As long as it is not moldy or smelly, it can be sold, you are all one by one, is my salary less than yours?" I just want to take advantage of the restaurant. ”

"Why don't you learn from the guys on the other side, a group of cripples are more diligent than you!"

The guy complained, "There are no guests, and it's useless for us to be diligent." ”

"Humph!"

The shopkeeper snorted, "The autumn hunt is almost over, and when the time comes, those disciples of our Huang family will return victorious, and they will definitely hold a few more banquets." ”

"Ask a few masters in charge to think about it, prepare some good dishes, and send them over when the time comes, won't this make a lot of money?"

This shopkeeper is a relative of the Huang family, although it is only an inconspicuous relative in the side branch, but it also has some benefits.

For example, when the Huang Clan's Martial Arts Pavilion invited the big restaurant to hold a banquet for their family, these relatives took the initiative to send the wine and food, even if their host family didn't like it, they would accept it, and if they said it was worth it, they would reward it.

The Huang family has a big business anyway, and they don't care about more small expenses.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper felt a little proud in his heart, paced a few steps in the lobby, and looked at the Zhou family restaurant opposite.

"If you think about it carefully, it's not easy for them to be the shopkeeper of Zhou."

The shopkeeper smiled at the guy, "You see that they have this kind of body and bones, getting up early and working late, working hard for a month, and what they earn in the end may not be as much as what we earn from a few banquets." ”

Both men nodded secretly, holding the shopkeeper's words.

The shopkeeper's eyes were sharp, and at this time, he saw a cousin who was doing chores in the Huang Clan's martial arts hall walking on the street, and hurriedly shouted: "Sixth housekeeper, where are you in a hurry, this sweaty man, I have a bowl of sour plum soup, come and try it?" ”

He hurriedly sent his men to serve the cold sour plum soup.

The six butlers were really tired, and after resting on their knees, they were brought in by the shopkeeper.

"Ouch, don't pull me, I, I, I'm in a hurry!"

"What's the matter, it's so urgent, the sixth housekeeper, you are also a figure with a head and a face, how can you be so careless about you, if it's not a big deal, you tell me, I'll let the guys in my store do it for you."

When the six housekeepers heard him say this, they also sat down in the store, gasped and said, "I've run several white shops, but I'm afraid it's still not enough." ”

"You ask the guys in the store to go around and see how many golden boys and girls, paper people, paper horses, wreaths and white flags, buy them all, and let the store send them to the Huang Martial Arts Hall."

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "What, the Huang Clan's Martial Arts Hall is going to hold a funeral, which old lady has passed away?!" ”

"Which one? It's that group! ”

The sixth housekeeper looked left and right, pulled the shopkeeper, and said in his ear, "The two young masters of our pavilion master's family have died in the autumn hunt!" ”

This news shocked the shopkeeper and was speechless for a long time.

When the guys also heard the news, they hurriedly ran out of the restaurant, and when they were about to go to the white shop, there was a tall and burly man in black, with more than 20 people, walking to the Zhou family's restaurant.

"Big brother."

Su Hanshan greeted with a smile, "The autumn hunt has been completed, the second uncle said, for safety reasons, you have all moved to the martial arts hall recently." ”

Su Tieyi waved his hand and said boldly: "That's right, everyone, let's celebrate tonight!" ”

"Senior brother, senior uncle, the autumn hunt has not yet arrived for three days, how can it be ......?"

Zhou Zihan took a few steps forward and said in surprise, "What happened, how is our record this time?" ”

"It's a bit of a change, let's talk about it in detail at night, as for the results."

Su Tieyi smiled, one arm raised high, and the excited voices of the other disciples of the Songhe Martial Arts Pavilion were mixed with him.

"This time, we're number one!!"
