Chapter 158 Chapter 158 "Well, then...
"Well, fine then. Since you want to go, I will be merciful and accompany you." Li Mingzhou put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked proud.
"Yes, yes, it's me who wants to go. You are a kind-hearted person." Li Si said almost in a flattering tone.
The young man's lips curled up when he heard this.
"Let's go."
However, the two of them asked as they walked, and finally found Liuye Lane, but the young man's patience was exhausted.
"If I can't find you, I'll go back and have someone chop off your head."
Li Si wiped the sweat from his forehead and bent down, saying, "Sir, please wait here in the shade. I'll go ask."
After saying this, Li Si went to the alley to inquire about the situation. Coincidentally, he ran into Chen and her group, who had bought a few cages of chickens, ducks, and geese. Li Si often interacted with the Su family on the boat, so he naturally recognized them. Seeing this, he happily called out, "Mrs. Chen...Mrs. Chen..."
Chen heard someone calling her, and sure enough, she turned sideways and saw it was Li Si. "Manager Li, why are you here?"
"I came here specifically to see you. By the way, where's Madam Su?"
After Li Si finished speaking, he looked behind Chen.
He thought about it. His young master had such a bad temper. If he couldn't eat what he wanted after walking for such a long time, he would probably take it out on him again. So no matter what, he had to find Madam Su to make a delicious meal first.
"Oh, she's in the grilled fish shop." After Chen said that, she went on to tell Li Si that her family had opened a grilled fish shop, and finally told him the address.
Li Si felt like drinking sweet rain when he heard this. After thanking him, he went back to find Li Mingzhou and went to Su Li Ji Grilled Fish Shop together.
When he arrived at the grilled fish shop, Li Mingzhou's face was sour, but the next second when he smelled the aroma of the grilled fish and saw Su Li, his expression unexpectedly calmed down.
Seeing this, Li Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's strange to say, his young master has never had a strong appetite before, so why is he obsessed with the food made by Madam Su? It's really strange.
Of course, he couldn't deny that the food made by Madam Su was indeed delicious, but for his young master, he had tasted all the delicacies in the world, so it shouldn't be like this. He really couldn't understand it, so Li Si didn't think about it anymore.
"Madam Su, long time no see..." Li Si greeted Su Li.
There were few guests at the moment, so Su Li came over to receive them personally. To be honest, Su Li didn't expect that the guests on the boat would actually come to her, and she was quite happy.
"Long time no see, Butler Li and Master Li."
After greeting them, Su Li asked them what they wanted to eat.
Li Si looked at Li Mingzhou and asked, "Sir, how many grilled fish would you like?"
Li Mingzhou didn't know why he felt awkward at this moment. "Whatever, it's fine!"
"Then let's take two." Li Si thought about it and decided to get more if it wasn't enough.
"Okay." Su Li responded and turned around to prepare the grilled fish. Like Su's colleagues, Su Li also gave Li Si and the other man a plate of braised pork head.
This braised meat looked strange, not like mutton. Li Si remembered that his young master only refused to eat pork, so he wanted to move it aside immediately, but was stopped by Li Mingzhou. He indeed did not eat pork, but the strange thing was that he ate what Madam Su made.
This time, Li Mingzhou did not let Li Si test the poison. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. As soon as he took a bite, he knew that he was right. The braised meat tasted really good. The pig head was fat but not greasy, and full of braised flavor. It was not salty even if eaten directly. It was good.
Li Mingzhou thought to himself, this pork meat is not as bad as others say, it is quite fragrant.
After eating the braised meat, the grilled fish was also served. Li Mingzhou started to eat the grilled fish again. To be honest, he almost vomited after eating so much fish on the boat, but this did not stop him from eating the grilled fish enthusiastically. By the end, his mouth was swollen and his face was sweating.
Su Li came over and saw it and almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but she didn't laugh in the end. After all, she knew that boys of this age still had strong self-esteem, and her friend's brother was like that.
"Mr. Li, how does it taste?"
Li Mingzhou's eyes dodged, "Not bad, let's leave it that way."
After saying that, he quickly stood up, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it on the table, "This is the meal money."
Su Li knew the silver ingot was worth ten taels when she saw its size, so she immediately asked him to take it in and give her the change. However, Li Mingzhou said directly, "No need for change."
After saying that, he took Li Si and left without looking back.
Su Li had no choice but to accept the silver and told the others in the backyard about it, asking them not to accept the silver if they saw Master Li coming later.
"Okay, little boss, we got it." The others agreed readily.
At this moment, Su Li thought of something else, "Have the fish arrived?"
"They're here. They just arrived. Awen and Awu went to carry it." Song Da replied.
"OK."
After the fish arrives, the next step is to kill the fish and then arrange them in order, waiting for the guests to arrive later.
However, to everyone's surprise, business was not very good that night. Su Li thought about it and thought that it was probably because they had set off firecrackers and invited people to perform lion dance at the opening ceremony at noon, so there were many people. There were no activities at night, so naturally no one came. But it is not wrong to say that no one came. There were also people who had eaten a piece of fish at noon and brought their families to eat, but they were a minority after all.
"What should we do, young boss?" Song Da looked at the few people in the shop and felt a little worried.
Su Li thought about it and finally came up with an idea. She asked Song Da to bring a few dozen dollars and found seven or eight children to go door to door to promote their grilled fish. It really worked, and soon several diners came.
"I heard that you have a buy one get one free deal on grilled fish here?"
"Yes, sir."
"Are the dishes inside free?"
"Yes."
"Okay, give me one then. I've heard your grilled fish is delicious, I want to see what it tastes like."
After the man finished speaking, he sat down with his friend.
There were several other people like him, all of whom said they came here because they heard someone say that the fish in this fish shop was delicious.
“I don’t know if it’s really delicious.”
"You'll know if you try it."
There were more than one person who had this idea, but they all shut up completely after the waiter brought the grilled fish to them.
The grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and smells both spicy and numb, which is really tempting. The fish meat is tender, smooth, chewy and tasty when you take a bite. The side dishes are the same, complementing the fish meat perfectly. For a moment, the voices in the grilled fish shop were much quieter than before.
"This grilled fish is so delicious. Dipping it in the soup makes it so delicious."
“The lotus root is also delicious and crunchy.”
After finishing the meal and paying the bill, these people kept praising the fish as they walked around, telling everyone that it was the most delicious fish they had ever eaten.
In addition to these people, Song Ling and Li Heng also came in the evening. However, seeing that there were too many people, they did not sit down. Instead, they asked their men to pack a few grilled fish in food boxes and take them away. Before leaving, they waved their hands and gave Su Li a piece of silver worth about 20 taels, and then left.
So when Su Li was counting the accounts in the evening, she found that she had earned 45 taels of silver today, of course, including the 30 taels of silver.
However, despite this, we still made a lot of money from selling grilled fish today, exceeding the target set at the beginning.
If I could earn this much every day, it wouldn’t be long before I’d have enough money to buy a shop and a house.
After Su Li finished her dream, she put the money box away and prepared to wash up. To be honest, she was tired after a whole day and really wanted to fall asleep directly, but she smelled so bad that she had to wash up.
So Su Li had to force herself to take a shower before going back to her room to sleep.
Over the next two weeks, business at Su Ji Grilled Fish Shop continued to boom. Those who had eaten there became ambassadors for the shop, telling everyone they met that they had opened a grilled fish shop there and that the food was delicious. However, the majority of customers were colleagues from Su's father, second brother Su, and third brother Su. After trying the grilled fish, they fell in love with the flavor and would come back every day for a meal. On other days, they would even ask Su's father and his two sons, who had to go back home every day, to bring in food. It was clear how much everyone loved the grilled fish.
Of course, good business means making a lot of money, but
This really made Su Li and the Su family very tired. Fortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Su Li thought about it and decided to take two days off and make something delicious to celebrate the festival.
"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming so soon." Chen was a little slow to react when she heard that Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.
"Yes, it feels like time has passed so quickly this year. It's already September in a blink of an eye." Wang agreed with her.
Chen looked at Su Li seriously, "By the way, Wu Ya, is it too late to make mooncakes this year?"
Chen suddenly remembered that the mooncakes for this year had not been made yet, so she asked Su Li immediately.
Su Li nodded. Actually, she wanted to do it too, but the shop was too busy and she couldn't pull her hands away.
Chen, "Then we can go out and buy some food and eat together." The advantage of having money is that you can buy whatever you want without having to be stingy.
"Okay." Everyone in the Su family had no objection.
Speaking of which, this was the first Mid-Autumn Festival that everyone had spent together after Su's father and his two companions came back. Except for the eldest sister Su Hong, everyone was there.
"What a pity, my eldest sister is not here." If my eldest sister were here, their family would be truly reunited.
Su Li, "Who said she's not here? My eldest sister wrote to me a while ago and said she would come over to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with us."
"real."
"Don't lie to us, Wu Ya."
"Grandma, do I look like a liar?"
!!!
Everyone perked up when they heard the news, especially Chen. "Is your eldest sister coming alone, or are your brother-in-law and the others coming too?"
"They should all come." After all, it's hard to leave anyone at home, especially with two little ones.
"That's good, that's good. Did your elder sister tell you when you can arrive?"
"According to the time, we will arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon." Su Li estimated based on the time they arrived, but she forgot that the speed of each ship was different, so Su Hong and others arrived in Jizhou that afternoon, and then asked all the way to the Su family.
When the Su family saw the few people, their jaws almost dropped in shock, "You're here."
"Big sister's husband, Uncle Wang, and Aunt Lian are here..."
Su Li was taking a nap in the house when she heard Su Tao's loud voice. However, she did not care about anything else and quickly tidied her clothes and went out to greet her. In short, everyone in the Su family was very happy about Su Hong's arrival, and then they surrounded Su Hong and asked her all kinds of questions.
Old Man Su asked, "Did you encounter any danger along the way?"
Su Hong, "No, it's calm, but I feel a little seasick."
"My mother and I felt the same way. We felt really uncomfortable on the boat, but it got much better after we got off."
