Chapter 493: On the banks of the Qingyun River
After three or four hours of busy work in the kitchen, Shanhe and Nangong Qing finally completed the preparation of the ingredients.
After going to the front hall and finding a square table to sit down, the two of them discussed the menu while resting.
According to the meaning of the mountains and rivers, at least there must be a menu on every table. In addition, it is best to put up a large menu at the door, so that customers can know what is delicious inside without entering the store.
After hearing this, Nangong Qing ran to the Internal Affairs Office as soon as possible, and when she came back, she had a lot of colored paper and a set of pen and ink in her hand.
As soon as he sat down, he panted and asked, "Senior brother, do you write or do I write it?"
Looking at the brush and black ink brought back by Nangong Qing, Shanhe smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said:
"Senior sister, I played with this thing when I was a child, but I haven't touched it in the past ten years, I think it's better for you to come. ”
As soon as she heard this, Nangong Qing picked up the brush without reluctance, but before she put down the pen, she suddenly remembered something again:
"Senior brother, I can write the name of the dish, but how to set the price?"
Hearing the word "price", Shanhe also frowned, he really hadn't thought about it before.
"Well, I don't know how to price it right. But I remember that the sect said that it can't be set too high, or let's just 2 points of contribution for meat dishes and 1 point for vegetarian dishes, what do you think?"
After listening to Shanhe's offer, Nangong Qing put down the brush on the spot, and frowned dissatisfiedly:
"We've worked hard for a long time, and a dish only has 1 or 2 contributions? No, no, you're too low, senior brother. ”
"Yes, is it a little low?" Shanhe scratched his head embarrassedly: "How much do you think is appropriate?"
"If you want me to say it...... Nangong Qing raised the brush in her hand, thought for a moment and said: "No matter how you say meat dishes, you have to contribute 10 points to a plate, and vegetarian dishes are 5 points!"
Seeing that Nangong Qing's price was five times higher than his own, Shanhe immediately showed embarrassment:
"Senior sister, this price is too high, right? I feel that many people will be deterred by the price of your dishes. ”
Nangong Qing replied disappreciatively:
"Senior brother, the food street is only held once every five years, even if it is more expensive, everyone can accept it! Moreover, I can tell you responsibly that there are actually many rich people on the mountain, especially disciples like us who grew up on the mountain, and we all have a lot of stock in our pockets. So you can rest assured, there will definitely be no problem with this price. After speaking, I saw Nangong Qing's right arm raised slightly, with the intention of putting pen to paper.
However, the mountains and rivers who heard this did not back down, but persuaded again:
"Senior sister, I, I think it's still a bit expensive. Let's, let's talk about it again. ”
Seeing that she was so straightforward, but the senior brother was still blocking her pricing, Nangong Qing, who was quite puzzled, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the mountains and rivers, put down the brush and raised her eyebrows and asked:
"Senior brother, do you have any other concerns?"
"I, I ......"
"If you have something to say, just say it, we are all a family, what else can't we say?"
"Alas!" Hearing this, Shanhe nodded and said bluntly:
"I'm thinking about the secular disciples in the sect, not only do they have a short time to go up the mountain, but they also have very low salaries, and some of them can only earn 5 or 10 contribution points a day. So, if the price is too high, they can't afford to taste it even if they want to, so I ......"
"Oh, it turns out that Senior Brother is thinking about secular disciples. ”
After hearing this, Nangong Qing finally understood Shanhe's distress. After nodding thoughtfully, I listened to her make a concession:
"Alright then, let's lower it a bit. But the 1 and 2 points you said before are too few, and it feels like giving them away for nothing. Let's compromise, how about 5 points for meat dishes and 3 points for vegetarian dishes?"
In fact, this price still feels a little more expensive for Shanhe.
But the junior sister had already made such a big concession, and if he didn't appreciate it, he couldn't say it, so he nodded and agreed to the matter.
"Besides, if Senior Brother's secular friends come, and you can't bear to let them spend too much money, then just invite them to dinner! Hehe, anyway, you are so rich, you must not care about this contribution, right?"
Although Nangong Qing's words are a joke, they sound like a reliable plan in the mountains and rivers. As soon as these words came out, Shanhe nodded happily.
Now that the decision has been made, Nangong Qing quickly wrote out all the menus.
According to Shanhe's requirements, not only did one sheet be placed at each table, but a large menu more than one meter high was posted at the door of the store to attract business.
After pasting the "poster menu", Nangong Qing subconsciously glanced at the door of the store again.
Seeing that it was empty, I felt that something was missing, and as soon as I entered the house, I discussed it with Shanhe again:
"Senior brother, do we have to give the shop a name?"
"A name? yes, yes! it has to have a name. It's a good idea to have a name that is easier for guests to remember, and it can also help us promote it!" After nodding in agreement, he listened to Shanhe and asked:
"What's the name?"
"What's the name...... You make me think about it!"
After saying this, I saw Nangong Qing close her eyes, looking meditative. After more than half a minute, he suddenly opened his eyes and replied with a happy face:
"Haha! How about we call it 'Qingyun Riverside'?"
"Qingyun River?" Shanhe scratched his head and said puzzledly: "It's nice to hear, but what should it mean?"
"Hehe, of course!" Nangong Qing explained with a smile:
"Qing represents me! Yun is the senior brother Zhiyun, the river ...... It means you, senior brother!"
After listening to such an ingenious idea, Shanhe suddenly realized. I just wanted to applaud, but a question suddenly popped up in my head.
He is called Sanke in Nangong Gate, not Shanhe. But the other party actually arranged a "river" word for himself, which is really incomprehensible!
Therefore, Shanhe immediately became alert, and asked with a pretended puzzled face:
"I understand both the clear and the cloudy. What does the word 'river' have to do with me?"
Seeing Shanhe ask about this, Nangong Qing replied with a look of disdain:
"I said, senior brother, you don't really know it, do you? Look at your name-Sanke, how much does the two words look like a 'river' when they are combined? You can't call Sanke for so long, you haven't noticed it, right?"
After listening to the junior sister's explanation, Shanhe immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
The origin of his name was so easily pushed backwards by his junior sister, which really surprised him.
But at this moment, the weak-hearted mountains and rivers must not be able to show it, so they have to pretend to be embarrassed and smile:
"Oh, that's the case, so that's the case? Hehe, I never found out before, my sister is really observant. ”
"Cut, I found out about this not long after you went up the mountain, but I just haven't told you all this time, and now it's just happening. After replying lightly, I heard Nangong Qing add:
"I didn't plan to add the senior brother to it, but the words 'Qing' and 'He' didn't sound good, so I had to add the word 'cloud'. Hehe, if you don't have an opinion, that's it, right?"
