Chapter 157 Chapter 157 "To...
"Do you want to go say hello to my sister-in-law and the others?"
After sitting down, one of the men poured tea for the others while looking at them.
"Let's wait a moment. The shop is so busy now. Don't delay their business." said Zhang Feng, who had visited the store that day.
"Alright."
After he finished speaking, a waiter greeted a few people, and they ordered two grilled fish and two jars of wine. They sat aside, drinking and eating the boiled peanuts that were provided while chatting.
During this time, everyone around was praising the taste of the grilled fish. A few people were a little puzzled when they saw it, "Is it really that delicious?"
"Yeah, they look like they're eating something."
Zhang Feng had gone to the Su family that day. Seeing this, he took a leisurely sip of tea and kept the secret, "You'll know after you eat it."
Anyway, he has been thinking about this dish since that day, and he has lost his appetite for other things. Otherwise, he would not have come here just after hearing that the Su family opened a food store.
"Just brag." Hu laughed at him.
The other three also laughed, thinking that Zhang Feng was exaggerating.
"Dear guests, here is your grilled fish." At this time, the grilled fish was finally served.
The charcoal basin was about to reach them, and Zhang Feng asked Hu Da to move aside. "The grilled fish is coming, the grilled fish is coming, please make way."
Seeing this, Hu Da moved away, and the charcoal basin was put down safely.
After putting the grilled fish away, Song Da brought over a plate of braised dishes shortly afterwards. "Sir, this is the braised dish our wife sent us. Please enjoy it."
It turned out that Su Li had already seen several people and naturally recognized that they were her father's colleagues. That's why she asked Song Da to cut a plate of braised dishes and send them over for them to eat with their wine.
Zhang Feng smiled sheepishly when he heard this. "I'm so sorry. Please thank my niece for me."
When the other people who came with him saw this, they also followed suit and expressed their gratitude. Because of this, the rough guys felt very relieved. After all, although these people were colleagues of Su's father, not all of them were close to him. Some of them were more or less jealous of the Su family for opening a food store not long after they came to Jizhou, but now much of their jealousy has dissipated.
"Come, eat." Zhang Feng greeted everyone and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
This is the first time he has eaten this braised dish, and it looks quite good.
Zhang Feng picked up a piece of pork head and put it into his mouth. The pork head had a rich and fragrant taste. He felt like he was traveling to a fairyland after taking a bite. It was so delicious that he wanted to stomp his feet. However, Zhang Feng did not stomp his feet. Instead, he quickly took a sip of wine. "Ha", he took a sip of wine and a mouthful of braised meat, feeling happier than a god.
The people next to him didn't hesitate either. They picked up the braised meat with chopsticks and started eating. However, their reaction was the same as Zhang Feng's. They subconsciously took a sip of wine. The aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of braised meat was really enjoyable.
“This meat dish is delicious.”
“It’s really good.”
Several people ate and commented on the food while their hands did not stop moving. Soon, the whole plate of braised meat was finished. After discussing it, they decided to buy another plate. However, when they called the waiter to ask, they found that the braised meat was gone.
After asking carefully, they found out that the braised meat today was just braised by the Su family for themselves and they didn't prepare any extra food. They were a little disappointed, but at the same time they felt proud, because after all, they could eat something that no one else could.
"Okay, if it's gone, it's gone. You can just come back to eat it next time. Didn't the guy just now say that he would sell it later?" Zhang Feng tried to smooth things over.
"Let's eat the grilled fish first. It should be ready."
Everyone's attention then turned to the grilled fish.
The guy just said that the grilled fish is cooked, only the vegetables inside are not ready yet. We just have to wait until the lotus root is ready to eat.
Now the lotus root slices in the ceramic basin look almost the same.
"Okay, let's eat fish."
Hu Da picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish directly. The aroma of the grilled fish had been wafting in front of him. He was finally able to eat it. With the delicious taste of the braised meat, Hu Da had higher expectations for the grilled fish. However, when he actually ate it, he found that he was still not expecting enough. The fish was too delicious. The fish skin was crispy, spicy and hot, and the fish meat was fresh and tasty. It immediately opened his appetite. Not only that, even the side dishes in the grilled fish were particularly tasty, especially the lotus root slices. The spicy and fresh fragrance did not lose the sweetness of the lotus root slices. It was really delicious.
"Eat quickly, this fish tastes good."
"Let me try it."
“It tastes even better with the soup.”
After hearing what he said, the people next to him took the grilled fish and couldn't help but exclaimed after taking a bite of the fish.
"tasty!"
"Not bad!"
The fish is so delicious and fresh that you can tell it is freshly killed as soon as you eat it, otherwise it would not taste like this. In addition, the mixed seasonings in it have no fishy smell at all, only spicy and fresh fragrance. The more you eat, the more addictive it becomes.
The two fish were eaten up in a short time. Not only that, the side dishes and soup were also eaten by several people along with the rice.
"What? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Zhang Feng looked at his colleagues proudly.
"Delicious, delicious." Hu Dahe and his friends, whose stomachs were full, were now convinced and had to admit that the food was indeed delicious.
"Since it's delicious, you pay for it today." After saying that, Zhang Feng really stood up and left, leaving a few people behind.
…
military camp,
"How is it? You've finished eating, how's it going?" Those who didn't make it to the military camp today saw them coming back and surrounded Zhang Feng and his companions.
"tasty!"
"real?"
"real."
"What does it taste like? Tell us."
"You smell my clothes, they still have a smell, hahahaha."
"Get lost!"
"Then I'm leaving. If I leave, I'll be gone. I brought you two fish."
"Good brother, give me a bite, I'm starving."
For a moment, all kinds of flattering voices and exclamations were heard in the tent.
On the other side, the Su family members from Su Ji Grilled Fish Shop were busy with lunch and were sitting in the yard to eat.
"The grilled fish is selling pretty well, but the fish is gone. I have to buy some more after lunch."
"Wu Ya, how many pairs do you think are appropriate to buy?"
Chen asked as she served herself some rice. She was quite excited that business was so good this morning on the first day of opening.
Su Li swallowed the food in her mouth, thought for a moment and said, "I'd better buy 50." She sold about 40 in the morning, so the number should be similar in the evening.
"Okay." Chen replied.
"By the way, later on, Mom, you and Grandma should go back and rest. The shop doesn't need so many people. If there are too many people, it will be too crowded."
The shop is not big. There is one person to kill fish, two people to serve the dishes, one person to collect the cash, and one or two people to prepare the ingredients in the kitchen. That's enough. We don't need too many people.
"In the future, we can take turns working in the morning and afternoon, so we won't get tired." The purpose of earning money is to live a good life. Su Li doesn't want everyone to tire themselves out for this, especially her grandparents, who are old and it would be bad for them to get tired.
"Just let your grandparents go back. I'd better stay in the shop to help." Chen refused subconsciously.
Mrs. Wu said, "Let's go back together. You can accompany me to buy a few pairs of chickens and ducks to raise for the New Year."
"Old man, you should come back with us. You can also buy some vegetable seedlings and plant them in the backyard. Vegetables are expensive in Jizhou City, so it's cheaper to grow them yourself."
"Okay." As soon as Mrs. Wu spoke, Chen had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Su Tao suddenly said, "Mom, you and grandma, please don't raise chickens and ducks in the front yard again. It stinks."
Chen said, "I know, I know. You enjoy eating it, but you find it smelly when you feed it."
Su Tao smiled, "Hehe."
Here, after discussing the shifts, Su Li said to the Song family next to her,
"Uncle Song, Aunt Wang, Brother Awen, Brother Awu, and Sister Amei, I will give you an extra monthly salary for working in the shop. If you don't want to help in the shop, I can hire a few more people. You can also concentrate on working at home. It's up to you what you choose. Just tell me when the time comes."
Song Da, "How can this be done?"
Wang said, "Yes, young master, we don't want monthly wages."
But Su Li has made up her mind that the more she works, the more she earns. She cannot treat people as non-human beings just because they have signed a contract with her family. Not only does she have to do housework every day, but she also has to come to the shop. Even a donkey would get tired.
When the Song family saw Su Li insisted on giving it to them, they were very excited. This was really the best boss they had ever had. Not only did he provide them with food and shelter, he also gave them a monthly salary. He also never treated them harshly or beat them at home.
"Why don't you kneel down and thank the boss?"
Upon hearing this, Awen, Awu and the two sisters quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, sir."
Su Li quickly stepped forward to stop them, "Uncle Song, Auntie, please stand up quickly. We are all family, don't kneel down at every turn."
"Yes, stop kneeling and stand up."
Song Da refused to stand up, "Your kindness is so great, our Song family will never forget it, I can only repay you by working like a slave in my next life."
"Uncle Song, stop kneeling."
To be honest, Su Li felt quite uncomfortable seeing people older than her kneeling in front of her with tears of gratitude. She thought that she was not particularly good to them and was just giving them the rewards they deserved, but they treated her like their savior. It was conceivable how abnormal this world was.
"Yes, get up quickly, aren't you shortening her life?" Chen said with a stern face.
As soon as these words came out, Song Da and the others stood up in shock and looked at Su Li for help. They didn't mean that...
"My mother was just joking with you."
"Uncle Song, Auntie, don't be so reserved. Now that you've come to our house, we're a family. In our house, as long as you work, you'll get paid. This is what you deserve. The more you work, the more you earn!"
"yes!"
"We'll listen to the young master."
Seeing that they finally stopped kneeling, Su Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After dinner, everyone should take a rest and get some rest. We'll work hard in the evening. The future of our grilled fish shop depends on everyone!"
Today is the first day of opening, and the success of business depends on the reputation of the past few days, so Su Li has to encourage everyone and make sure everything is done to perfection.
"good!"
…
.
Li Mingzhou has been in Jizhou for two months. Because he escaped secretly, he was locked up in the mansion by his eldest brother. Today, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he instigated his subordinates to help him escape secretly. He first wandered around Jizhou City, and then went to the largest restaurant here for dinner. However, he spat out the steamed sea bass in his mouth after taking a bite.
"Young master, what's wrong? Is this dish not to your taste?" Li Si asked with concern when he saw this situation.
"This fish tastes terrible, not even as good as the one on the boat." Li Mingzhou said dissatisfiedly.
Seeing this, Li Si instantly understood what his master meant. "Should we go and take a look? Didn't the young lady tell me her address?"
