Chapter 122 Illegitimate
child? After Tong Xiayue confessed to Gu's family, she was more relaxed and had fewer worries.
When Boss Kong was setting up his stall that day, he always felt that someone was watching him from a distance. When he looked up, his view was blocked by the customers in front of him.
After selling the things and preparing to leave, he saw a man in his forties or fifties walking over: "Brother, can I talk to you about something?"
Boss Kong felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him: "What's the matter?"
Man: "I'm the owner of the state-owned hotel in front, and I want to cooperate with you! What do you think?"
Now Boss Kong remembered that he was from the state-owned hotel that had no business recently. No wonder he looked familiar.
Boss Kong laughed and said, "How do you want to cooperate?"
The man said, "You put the things in our hotel to sell! But you definitely can't sell them outside, which is equivalent to our hotel buying them out! In this way, you don't have to run around outside, what do you think?"
This man was quite thoughtful, and Boss Kong wanted to test his attitude, so he asked, "Then how much are you going to give?"
The man held up five fingers: "How about this number?"
Boss Kong joked, "Five thousand?"
Hearing his words, the man blushed. He was talking about five hundred...
five thousand? How could this broken stew be so valuable!
No one comes to his own hotel all day long, business is a mess, and he is losing money every day. If it continues like this, he will really close down. How can he come up with five thousand yuan now! Even the five hundred yuan is scraped together!
Seeing that he was no longer talking, Boss Kong smiled and said, "Don't talk about it if you don't have anything to say." Then he
turned around and left.
The man was not convinced, thinking that it was just brine, and the chef in his hotel could make it!
After returning, he bought some brine from other places, and then went to the slaughterhouse to order some duck and pig offal. However, he didn't know that Boss Long always asked others to handle it, and the ones he ordered were all stinky...
After taking it back, the chef was unwilling to handle it, so he could only arrange for the stinky-faced waiter to do it. How could the stinky-faced waiter do it properly? So he just muddled the job and it still had a lot of fishy smell when it reached the chef's hands!
The boss handed the braising sauce to the chef: "Try it and see how it tastes. It's fine if it's similar to what you're eating!"
The chef was also shocked after tasting it. It was really fragrant and made people want to eat more and more. He couldn't stop at all. However, he couldn't taste what seasonings were added to it.
In the end, he could only add all the seasonings in the kitchen.
After it was done, he showed it to the boss and the sullen-faced waiter to taste: "How about trying it?"
The boss couldn't wait to pick up a piece to try it, and then...
"Pah!"
The waiter didn't dare to try it after seeing his look, and directly put down the duck neck in his hand...
Man: "How can you make it taste like this?!"
The chef picked up a piece and tasted it: "What's wrong? It tastes okay to me!"
The boss was helpless. This chef was his eldest nephew, and it was not easy to fire him. Now it seems that there is something wrong with his taste!
The man said helplessly, "That's it. We'll sell them in front of the hotel at noon tomorrow! Duck goods are one dollar a pound, and pork offal are 80 cents a pound! I don't believe that no one will come to buy them
!" The next day, a small stall was set up in front of the state-owned hotel. The waiter called out at the door, "Come and have a look! The hotel has just launched new products! Come and have a look! They are all cheap!"
Hearing that it was cheap, many people gathered around. When they saw that it was the hot-selling brine recently, someone asked, "Is yours the same as theirs?"
The waiter smiled and said, "How can that be? It must be better than theirs!"
He didn't feel ashamed when he said this. He was really thick-skinned...
Some people came closer to smell it, but they couldn't smell the fragrance of what Boss Kong was selling at all. Instead, it had a stinky smell. They knew at a glance that it was not the same store, so they took a look and left.
But some people who had always wanted to buy but didn't get it before also wanted to buy it back to try it out for the sake of bargains.
After two hours, the goods were sold out. The boss was very happy when he saw it. The hotel hadn't been so busy for a long time, so he ran to the slaughterhouse to get more goods, thinking of continuing to make and sell tomorrow!
In the evening, Boss Kong and his group also set up the stall. Just after they set up the stall, an old customer came to complain: "Boss Kong, the state-owned restaurant over there also sold brine at noon today. I didn't buy anything because it smelled weird, but theirs is much cheaper, so many people still bought it!"
Another old customer added: "Yeah, I can smell the fragrance of your food from a long distance away, but I think their food is stinky and not fragrant at all. I dare not eat it!"
Kong The boss laughed and said, "It's okay, let them do whatever they want. This taste is our exclusive secret recipe, and no one else can make it."
Although he said that he didn't need to worry about it, Boss Kong still reported it to Tong Xiayue. Who knew that Tong Xiayue didn't take it seriously at all, and laughed and said, "Don't worry, it won't last for two days, we will do our own thing."
Sure enough, the next day, no one came to the door of the state-owned hotel to buy things, and a few people who bought things yesterday came to make trouble because they found that the things they bought were stinky when they got home! They couldn't eat them at all...
This is the end of being greedy...
The waiters and the boss didn't dare to come out at all, and they just packed up the stall and hid in the hotel, which was terrible.
Originally, I thought that although the business was not as good as that of Boss Kong, at least I could make some money every day. Now it seems that it is good that I did not lose money to them. It seems that this business cannot be done...
No one in Beijing dares to imitate their things anymore, because no one can imitate the taste!
Not long after, Tong Xiayue heard another shocking news!
One night, Grandpa Gu called Tong Xiayue aside and told her: "Do you know who your partner Boss Kong is?"
Tong Xiayue asked curiously: "Who?"
Grandpa Gu: "He is the son of the brigade commander in our army, but he is an illegitimate child!"
Tong Xiayue was surprised: "What? Illegitimate child?"
She didn't expect that there was still such a thing as illegitimate child in this era. Shouldn't this matter be dealt with most urgently at this time? And he’s in the army!
Grandpa Gu said seriously: "Well, it took me a lot of effort to find out. This matter is very serious. I will definitely intervene. You'd better tell him."
Tong Xiayue understood what grandpa meant. This matter could not be kept secret. No one knew what his relationship with the brigade commander was. If grandpa investigated, there was no telling how the situation would develop. It would be better to tell him in advance.
Grandpa Gu continued to add: "That boy has his mother's surname. Although he has not received much education, he is honest and smart. I feel at ease working with him, but it's a pity that his background...
By the way, this brigade commander is called Li Guang, and he has some connection with you!"
Tong Xiayue asked curiously: "Ah? I don't know him!"
Grandpa Gu smiled and said: "Well, his niece went to the countryside in your Yangliu Village before, you should know her."
Tong Xiayue asked in confusion: "Who is it?"
Grandpa Gu: "Li Yiyi!"
