Chapter 101.
Perhaps the fresh food today is really not appealing, so this 'cherry foie gras' was made at home, but... not many were sold.
It seems that Su Guoer is free today.
When she had nothing to do, she would help with the cashier at the counter, leaving the usual dishes to the two apprentices. There were few customers today, and few ordered the signature dishes, so she didn't need to help.
So she was sitting at the counter, calculating today's revenue as usual. She was also updating the menu with the most popular dishes ordered by customers recently.
The braised pork at her restaurant was selling just as well as usual, mainly because most of the people who came to eat there were laborers or other hard laborers. They needed meat to keep them busy, otherwise they wouldn't have the energy to work. Mutton was particularly expensive, so Su Guoer's braised pork was very popular with them. Almost every diner who came into the restaurant would order a plate of braised pork.
In addition, large portions of meat such as northern dishes such as clay pot chicken with cornmeal pancakes and braised goose with steamed buns are also their favorite foods.
Whenever I invite a few people over, I order one portion and a pot of liquor, which is enough for them to sit for an entire afternoon.
In addition, the side dishes here are also very rich, enough for several people.
As for people like Shopkeeper Wu who have a little more money, mutton pot stickers and mutton soup are most to their liking, so they always come here to order three or four pot stickers, eat them themselves and take them home, or they come here to order something more novel, such as shrimp with a thousand shreds of flavors, crab pickled in soy sauce, etc., which are also popular.
They prefer small, delicate snacks rather than large portions of food.
But the taste of cherry foie gras... well... is really unacceptable.
Su Guoer recommended it to a few people, but they didn't hear any good words. Well, this only means that the dish is really not to their taste.
But she herself really likes to eat it. Let's keep it for now, just in case we meet someone who knows the value of it.
Seeing that there were not many people at the table over there, Changqi took off the white cloth tied in front of him, walked to the counter and asked Su Guoer for leave, saying that he was going out for a while.
Su Guoer: "Just go by yourself."
He felt something was amiss and asked, "But you haven't found a place to live yet? Otherwise, please give me some money so that I can arrange a place to live as soon as possible."
As long as you have money, you will never be without a place to live. So in Su Guoer's opinion, he has been busy going in and out these days. Maybe he doesn't have enough money. She didn't think about other places.
Chang Qi said, "Don't worry, I've already found a place to live. It's just... hey, Xianglan asked me to go visit her today, so I wanted to go early and come back early."
Hearing this, Su Guoer said nothing more. Everyone in the store knew that Changqi had a lover. Even though the other party's status was not good, he did not deliberately conceal it, giving her enough sense of security and dignity.
It made them envious.
After all... there are not many men who are so infatuated.
Su Guoer was clacking away on her abacus. Chang Qi had just left when Wen Qianxi came in and asked, "Where is he going? Is that the pastry from Chang Fang Zhai he's holding? Those aren't cheap."
"Where did he get the money to buy that?"
Su Guoer: "Why do you keep pestering him all day long?" Su Guoer, who is always talkative, was a little suspicious.
Wen Qianxi: "Tsk, who's been pestering him all day? I'm just curious. Is he going to the brothel to meet his lover with the cakes?"
Su Guoer didn't even raise her head. "Yeah, eh? What do you think about this?"
Wen Qianxi found a clean peach to chew on: "What's the idea? Seeing him licking others like this? Is it worth it for him?"
Su Guoer: "Hey, that's your fault. Changqi is such a good man! He doesn't despise Xianglan's background, he's hardworking, and he's willing to save money to redeem Xianglan. A man like him would be hard to find even with a lantern, right?"
Su Guoer was telling the truth.
There are really not many men who are willing to marry prostitutes without being bothered by their background. Most prostitutes just want to play around, but Changqi... whenever he talks about Xianglan, he has a proud look on his face, which shows that he really doesn't dislike her.
Alas, if he didn’t have a sick mother at home, he would have redeemed the other person long ago.
Wen Qianxi: "Opinion? I don't have any opinion about him, but... I have some opinion about that girl named Xianglan."
Looking up, Su Guoer asked, "What's wrong?" There was something else behind her words.
Wen Qianxi said to Su Guoer seriously: "You have never been to that place, so you are not familiar with the people there."
She continued, "Before, my father was also infatuated with a girl in the brothel named Hua Niang. She wasn't particularly good-looking, but she was gentle and gentle. He originally wanted to marry her to be my stepmother, but he never expected that right after my father lost his virginity to her, she'd run off with a drunkard!"
"My father even chased the man all the way to the dock and was about to beat him up, but Hua Niang insisted on kneeling down and begging him. My father softened his heart and decided to be a good person and help the star-crossed couple get together. Hey, guess what?"
Su Guoer listened attentively and found the story very interesting, so she asked, "What's going on?"
Wen Qianxi saw people coming over and leaned over to whisper in Su Guoer's ear, "So about a month later, that Hua Niang actually came back again. She's still working as a prostitute in Chunfeng Tower, doing some prostitution. She even shamelessly wants my father to redeem her again, saying that she must live a good life with my father this time!"
"How could my father care about her? He quickly dumped her and didn't want to get entangled with her any more. But later he did find out and he heard that Hua Niang was sold back by her lover and that he had cheated her out of all her money..."
After hearing this story... Su Guoer sighed.
Wen Qianxi: "Don't tell anyone about this, or my dad will beat me to death. He lost face because of this and was so angry that he didn't eat properly for half a month."
Su Guoer nodded: "So you think that Xianglan..."
Wen Qianxi: "No, no, I don't have any problem with Xianglan. I just don't like the girls in their brothel."
"They are all girls from poor backgrounds. They should know their own limitations and not believe men's lies. But they have ended up in brothels. They don't have a clear understanding of men and are deceived by men. I'm just worried about Changqi. I'm afraid he's been deceived by that girl."
Wen Qianxi explained, and Su Guoer now understood why she had such a big opinion about Changqi.
Su Guoer: "Have you told him about this?"
Wen Qianxi: "How would I dare? If I tell him about this, he will definitely turn against me!"
