"Boss Meng, wishing you booming business today!"

"Thank you so much, Manager Zhao. I'll bring you a bowl of braised meat after I've finished cleaning up. If you like it, please come and support me next time."

Meng Zhao placed the prepared braised meat on the shelf by the door, with a stove underneath for heating.

The skewers were arranged in baskets according to type and placed on the shelf.

After the stove was properly set up, Meng Zhao, with an extremely serious and solemn expression, instructed, word by word: "We must keep a close eye on the stove. The shop cannot be left unattended for long. If there's only one person left in the shop, even if they just need to go to the outhouse, the fire must be extinguished. Remember to refill the water bucket next to the stove immediately if it's empty. Everything else is secondary; safety must be ensured."

When Meng Zhao rented the shop, he noticed that most of the shops here were built of wood, and they were placed side by side with very little space between them. If a fire were to start accidentally and not be extinguished in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

That's why Meng Zhao has emphasized this matter several times. Now that the opening is approaching, she feels it's necessary to repeat it again so that everyone will remember it.

After listening to Meng Zhao's words, the others nodded seriously, indicating that they would definitely keep this in mind.

After everything was settled, Meng Zhao served a bowl of braised meat and a few skewers, and asked Shen Qingze to deliver them to Manager Zhao next door.

After Shen Qingze left, Manager Zhao and his assistant next door stared at the contents of the bowl.

The young waiter, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, looked at the bowl of food and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why does this look so much like offal?"

"Offal?" Manager Zhao took over his father's job. Although his family wasn't extremely wealthy, they were certainly well-off and had never eaten such filthy offal before. He immediately felt a bit disgusted.

The young waiter next to him didn't mind at all. So what if it was offal? It was still meat, and besides, it smelled so good. Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't want to eat it, he waited and said he would give it to him as a reward.

Suddenly, a man rushed into the shop and shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl, the biggest one."
