Chapter 106 Chapter 106 “Why not…
"Why aren't there so many people coming?" After seeing off the first few customers, no one came to the food shop anymore. Chen looked at the sun rising higher and higher and said anxiously, "The whole family has been busy all morning today, is it possible that nothing will be sold?"
Just when Chen was secretly anxious, a few seniors wearing blue shirts and square scarves on their heads suddenly came over from a distance. When she looked closely, she found that they were Cui Yu, Qian Cai and others.
"Yes, the food store I was talking about is just in front." Cui Yu suddenly said.
Qian Cai also nodded, "Yes, it's Su Ji..."
Ever since he ate Su Ji's braised pork last time, Qian Cai, like Cui Yu, became addicted and stopped eating in the cafeteria. Instead, he would go to the county school gate with Cui Yu to buy food as soon as school was over. He even bought a lot for his parents during the Chinese New Year. However, he found out that his parents had bought some too when he got home. It was really funny.
"Then let's go quickly. I'm hungry."
"Me too."
The people next to Cui Yu and Qian Cai urged them to go ahead. They were classmates at the county school and had planned to have lunch together today.
"Okay, let's go."
Su Kee fast food restaurant,
As soon as Qian Cai entered the door, he said, "Miss Su, Miss Chen, business is booming."
Cui Yu was a little shocked when he heard this. He thought Brother Qian was not good at speaking, but he didn't expect him to say such words.
He looked at Qian Cai, but he looked innocent.
But he was not willing to be outdone and gave a carefully prepared congratulatory speech.
These were regular customers who came almost every day. Su Li smiled and thanked them before welcoming them in.
"Teacher Cui and Student Qian, please take a look at what they would like to eat today."
"Brother Qian, come and see, there are a lot more dishes." Cui Yu looked at the dishes in front of him and said to Qian Cai and others behind him.
Upon hearing this, Qian Cai hurried forward, and sure enough, there were many more dishes that he had never seen before.
"What's this?"
“Twice-cooked pork.”
"What's this?"
“Stir-fried yam and wood ear mushroom.”
"I know this, it's braised pork."
After the money was clear, he said to the other three,
"Brother Deng, Brother Song, Brother Li, come and see what you want to eat."
The three of them also came forward upon hearing this. Because Su Li had just told them the prices and portions of the dishes, they decided to order together so that they could eat different meals.
"I'm fine with either."
"Me too."
"You guys order, we haven't eaten it yet."
After the three of them finished speaking, Cui Yu and Qian Cai said, "Okay."
Then I ordered spicy braised pig's trotters, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork, pickled fish and mapo tofu, and scrambled eggs with chives.
Su Li, "The total is 149 wen."
The county school also has a mathematics department. After a few people calculated, they found that it was less than 30 cents per person, which was much cheaper than other food shops.
Cui Yu took a piece of silver to pay the bill.
Su Li gave the change and asked them to find a seat, while she and Chen started to serve the food.
It’s really convenient to prepare the food early. It won’t take long for the food to be served on the table for several people.
When they saw the food, they realized that the portions were much smaller than those in other food shops, but the price was worth the size.
As soon as the food came, Cui Yu and Qian Cai couldn't wait to start eating, and while eating, they did not forget to greet the other three classmates.
"Try it and see how it tastes."
Seeing this, Deng Che couldn't help but feel curious. Is it really that delicious? Looking at the expressions of Brother Cui and Brother Qian, is it really that serious?
While thinking about it, I picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into my mouth.
The braised pork was soft, sweet and melted in the mouth. Deng Che's eyes lit up immediately and he reached for the fish-flavored shredded pork next to the braised pork.
The hot and sour taste is appetizing, especially when eaten with rice. Deng Che took two bites and found it tasted like sweet and sour fish. However, there was no fish in the dish, so he couldn't help but be curious.
“What is this dish called?”
Cui Yu knew because he had asked the same question at the time, "Fish-flavored shredded pork."
Is it really made of fish? A hint of surprise flashed in Deng Che's eyes.
But, there are no fish in it!
When Cui Yu saw his expression, he knew that he was the same as him. He was also very confused at the time, wondering why it was called Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork when there was no fish in it. Unexpectedly, Miss Su told him a story. It said that there was a couple, and the wife accidentally added fish seasoning to the dish while cooking. Later, she found that it was unexpectedly delicious, so this dish came into being.
Deng Che looked as if he had suddenly understood something after hearing this, but he soon stopped worrying about it because the other three people were almost done eating their dishes.
Deng Che quickly joined the crowd grabbing food, but the food was still not enough, so he ordered two more servings of twice-cooked pork.
Maybe someone came into the shop and it seemed to be popular, so a few people came in slowly. Later, some students from the county school came over, and the number of people gradually increased.
By the afternoon, there were fewer people around, but they had to prepare food to be sold in the evening.
There are more people in the evening than at noon, perhaps because everyone has finished their work and there are many more people with their families.
Some came to join in the fun, while others came on the recommendation of others. Fang Da and Xi Si came because of Qi San's advice. As soon as the two of them came into the restaurant wearing the clothes of constables, everyone's voices became much quieter.
Su Li was a little scared when she saw the yamen runner, but she still introduced the dishes and asked, "What would you two guests like to eat?"
Fang Da took a look and found that there were many dishes he had never eaten before. He didn't want to show his shyness, so he just pointed at two dishes at random. Xi Si, however, was very careful with his money. After asking about the dishes and the prices, he ordered two dishes according to his preferences.
After paying, they found an empty seat to sit down. In fact, the shop was almost full at that time, but when the people saw the yamen runners coming, they moved out an empty table.
Fang Da and Xi Si were used to other people doing this, so they didn't react. They just sat down and started chatting, mostly about trivial matters in life.
"Time flies so fast. I remember your son was born just a few days ago, but how come he's already one month old on the fifth day of next month?" Xi Si sighed. Ever since the Chinese New Year, time seemed to have flown by so quickly.
Fang laughed and put down his sword, "That's right, remember to come to the full moon banquet when the time comes."
Xi Si: "Haha, of course."
"Here's your meal, sir." Su Li brought the meal and set it aside before leaving.
The two stopped talking and said, "Come on, let's eat first."
"OK."
Then the two of them started to eat. To be honest, Fang Da was not very optimistic about the taste of the food in this restaurant. It was Zi Gu, also known as Qi San, who recommended it. He happened to have some free time in the evening, so he came here.
Xi Si had the same idea. Although Qi San praised this restaurant to the skies in the county government office, saying that the food tasted better than that in a restaurant, Xi Si just thought that Qi San was bragging. How could the food in a restaurant be as delicious as that in a restaurant? However, even though he knew that the other party was bragging, Xi Si couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he arranged to come here with Fang Yue.
However, when the food was served, the same thought flashed through their minds simultaneously. It actually looked quite good and smelled particularly fragrant. Fang Da was the first to pick up a piece of braised pig's ear with chopsticks. It was fragrant, crispy and sticky. This was the first reaction in his mind. It's not that he had never eaten pig's ears before. He had eaten them when he ate the pig-killing dish, but the taste was completely different from that taste. It was really delicious. And as the young lady said, it tasted even better if he dipped it in the chili powder on the side.
Immediately, Fang Da shouted, "Give me a pot of wine."
The store sells alcohol, and Su Li even made a wine cabinet specially for it. After hearing what she said, she took the wine.
Fang Da took the wine and poured a glass for each person, "Drink."
After saying that, he took the first sip and it was delicious!
Especially the braised pig ears taste really good when you take a sip of wine.
Xi Si, who was sitting next to him, also followed suit, and it was indeed very enjoyable to drink wine and eat braised dishes at the same time.
In addition, there are twice-cooked pork and spicy braised pig's trotters, the taste of which amazed the two of them. Fang Da ate a piece of pig's trotter at a time, and sweat covered his head and nose.
Xi Si even ordered a few bowls of rice, and he enjoyed the twice-cooked pork very much. Neither of them expected that the food in such an ordinary restaurant could be so delicious. It is true that you cannot judge a book by its cover, and even such an ordinary restaurant should not be underestimated.
By the end of the meal, all the food in the bowls and plates was eaten up, and both of them were full.
“This tastes really good.”
"Yes, it's okay."
Then Qi Lao San really didn't lie to them.
.
By the time the last diner left, it was already dark and there were fewer people on the street. The tea shop next door had already started to close, and Su Li, Chen and others had also put away benches and other things and prepared to close the shop.
To be honest, it's really tiring after a busy day like this. When there were guests before, everyone was busy greeting them and didn't notice it. It was not until they left that I really felt it. My whole body ached with back pain, as if I had been hammered or run over by wheels.
Especially Su Li and Su Hong, they cooked more dishes today than usual. They felt like their hands were about to break from cutting vegetables and swinging the spatula.
But all this fatigue disappeared when he saw a basket of copper coins.
In Su Ji fast food restaurant, under the oil lamp, Su Tao was counting them one by one, while Lian Gu was sitting beside her and stringing them together with a hemp rope, which looked quite professional.
"A total of 10 taels and 8 cents." Su Hong took the copper coins from Lian Gu and put them into the winnowing basket.
so much? !
The rest of the Su family was a little shocked. They earned 10 taels of silver in just one day? That was almost half the amount they had earned selling their wares at the county school and the docks.
Everyone was a little excited, looking at each other, as if they couldn't believe this was true.
"There are actually 10 taels." Doesn't that mean he would have earned 300 taels of silver in a month?
When they thought of this, everyone's breathing stopped.
However, Su Li still gave everyone a warning, "This is just the first day, it shouldn't be this high later."
After all, it just opened today, and there are many people who come here to join in the fun, but they may not come the next day. Only as time goes by will things gradually stabilize.
"That's fine." Even if it's not that much, it's still good, said Mrs. Wu.
"Yes." Old Man Su also nodded.
I never thought that running a food store would be so profitable. If I had known earlier... Of course, it would be useless to know it earlier. After all, I don’t have that much money to buy a store. In the past, even renting a store would be something I had to consider.
The others thought the same. If they had known earlier, they would have come to the county town to open a shop. All of a sudden, everyone felt that all the tiredness in their bodies disappeared, and their bodies were full of strength. They felt that they could work harder!
However, Chen still thought that everyone was tired after a day, so she got up, collected the silver and put it in the box.
"Everyone has worked hard today, go to bed early."
"It's time to rest."
