Chapter 58: Business is bleak
"Get out, you kid hurry up and get out of the way, there is innocence between me and Miss Qin, don't slander us here. Xu Yang scolded angrily.
Zhang Tianxiang immediately sneered and said: "Shopkeeper, who do you want to deceive, just look at the way you almost waved your hand just now, do you dare to say that there is nothing else between you?"
Xu Yang was about to open his mouth to scold again, when he saw Erdan running in from outside the gate in a hurry.
The sweaty second egg shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Yang, Uncle Lu, who sells meat, came back from the county seat yesterday, and his pork shop opened today, are we going to buy some meat and come back to entertain guests?"
Since the butcher went to the county seat to visit relatives, the recipes of Xu's wine shop have been supported by green vegetables and tofu, and there are no meat dishes at all.
Over the past few years, many customers have complained about this, and the business of the store has been somewhat affected.
So Erdan, who was passing by from the east end of the town just now, saw that Lu Butcher's pork shop was reopened, and immediately ran back to report the news.
This was originally good news, but at this time, Xu Yang could only smile bitterly.
With all the customers in the store gone, what's the point of reopening the pork shop?
But Zhang Tianxiang, who heard this, had a green light in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, let's go to the street to buy some meat and fight tooth sacrifices. Zhang Tianxiang said expectantly.
It has been more than half a month since he came to Taiping Town.
In the past half a month, he has not eaten a trace of meat, and Zhang Tianxiang feels that his intestines are about to rust.
Now that he knows that the pork shop on the street is open again, how can he bear it?
Xu Yang didn't think much about Zhang Tianxiang's request, and agreed to it in one bite.
If there are no guests, then eat it yourself.
I haven't eaten meat for so long, not to mention other people, even Xu Yang himself, I feel a little unbearable.
However, Lu Butcher's pork shop has been closed for more than half a month, and he and Zhang Tianxiang are not the only ones who are hungry.
Xu Yang, who got the news, came to the pork shop in the east of the town, but it was still too late, and the other good meat was basically bought, and there was only a piece of semi-fat and not thin hard pork belly and some pig skin water and other bits and pieces left on the meat stall.
Xu Yang didn't buy those bits and pieces, as long as that piece of hard five flowers.
This thing is suitable for making braised pork, but firstly, there is no sugar to color, and secondly, it is more time-consuming, no customers pay, and Xu Yang is too lazy to get it.
Cut the meat directly into cubes and stir-fry in hot oil.
At the same time, another large pot boils water to cook noodles.
When the noodles are cooked out of the pan, the diced meat in the wok has also been stir-fried to a rich fragrance.
Scoop up a spoonful of fragrant diced pork and place it directly on top of the cooked noodles, add a few blanched green vegetable leaves, and a bowl of fragrant mixed noodles is complete.
"Complete a bowl of delicious mixed sauce noodles and reward 50 spicy points. ”
"The first time you complete the cooking of meat food, you will be rewarded with an additional chance to draw a random lottery. ”
The system prompts that sounded one after another made Xu Yang happy.
Good guy, if this system were human, he would definitely be a meatless guy, he just added a spoonful of meat sauce to this bowl of noodles, and even gave him a chance to draw a lottery.
Without waiting for Xu Yang to think more, a lottery turntable immediately appeared in the system page, Xu Yang clicked the lottery confirmation button, and the pointer on the turntable quickly turned.
After a few moments, the pointer stopped in an area where the barbecue seasoning packet was written.
The system prompt sounded again: "Congratulations to the host, get a barbecue seasoning packet." ”
At this time, Zhang Tianxiang smelled the smell of meat that had been in place for more than half a month, and a waterfall-like hara flowed down from the corner of his mouth, instantly wetting a large piece of his clothes.
Without waiting for Xu Yang to speak, Zhang Tianxiang was like a vicious dog that smelled meat, pounced like lightning, directly picked up a bowl of mixed sauce noodles, and snorted and ate it.
This guy, who doesn't usually like noodles, almost swallowed his tongue at the moment.
While eating, he gave Xu Yang a thumbs up, and said vaguely: "Shopkeeper, this noodle is so delicious......
And the two guys, Erdan and Xiaoyu, were not far behind, they followed Zhang Tianxiang's footsteps and ran over, quickly picked up the noodles, and kept pulling them into their mouths.
Looking at these three guys who were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, Xu Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What's the matter, isn't it necessary to make such an exaggeration if you haven't eaten meat for more than half a month?
Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Yang also quickly picked up a bowl of noodles and ate it.
If he was slow, the three guys might have to swallow his share in their stomachs.
As soon as the chopsticks went down, even Xu Yang himself couldn't stop.
Not to mention, this noodle with mixed sauce tastes fragrant.
In the afternoon, Zhang Tianxiang, who had eaten himself, held a fly swatter and walked around the lobby of the wine store.
In addition to the four of them, there were only flies flying everywhere in the store.
Such a bleak scene lasted only two days, and Zhang Tianxiang said that he could not endure it any longer.
He was about to kill all the flies in the store, so he directly threw the flies on the table and muttered: "Shopkeeper, if you don't want to find some way, we can only go to the street together to ask for food." ”
If it goes on like this, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you have to sit and eat empty.
Besides, they don't have any mountains now, and even the money that Xu Yang wants to return to Yuantai Qianzhuang has not been enough.
"Well, we're going to have to think of some other way to make money. Xu Yang said thoughtfully.
He had just calculated the accounts, and in the past half a month, they had earned a total of two hundred and thirty-five taels of silver in the store, plus the one hundred and fifteen taels of tomatoes they had sold before, which was just a whole number of three hundred and fifty taels.
Although this money seems to be a lot, it is still far from the debt of more than 580 taels.
If the business of the store continues to be so sluggish, and they can't think of any other way to make money, then his store will eventually have to be owned by Yuantai Qianzhuang.
Zhang Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any way to attract customers to our store?"
Now he has a lot of trust in Xu Yang.
Sometimes Zhang Tianxiang even has a blind idea in his heart, feeling that except for things that cannot be changed by human power, such as giving birth to a child, nothing can stump this black-hearted shopkeeper.
Xu Yang suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this kid is talking more and more brainlessly.
On the official road outside Taiping Town, there is basically no figure to be seen now, so where can he go to attract customers to the store?
"You kid can't use your brain to help think of a way? I have to think about everything, what's the use of your head melon?" Xu Yang raised his hand, and his brain collapsed.
