I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 61

There are some red skins of firecrackers scattered at the door, and the three characters "You Yishun" are engraved on the quaint wood, which is very eye-catching.

Hu Dong had tasted the food here before, but the taste was not very good, only that time he never came back.

Hu Dong stepped into the neat table and cabinet. There were many people in front of him, so now he was more relaxed about the surrounding environment.

Before he entered the store, he thought that if the whole thing looked dirty, it would be here. But for now, it should be possible.

There was a faint smell of eating, smelling this spicy and delicious taste, his stomach "grumbled", Hu Dong couldn't help swallowing, and asked others: "It smells so fragrant?"

The man turned around to answer him, and said, "I don't know. It's the first time I've come here to ask the boss."

Zhao Heng is busy at the moment. Today is the opening day, and many people will definitely come to join in the fun. Coupled with the propaganda of the children on the street, there were so many people in the store that it was almost impossible to stand up, although he had already had so many people.

Fortunately, he and Brother Yuan had prepared some food in advance, otherwise they would be really busy right now and their feet would not touch the ground.

He had discussed with Brother Yuan earlier, so today's food preparations include Mala Tang, Fried Hor Fun and Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, etc. In addition, he prepared some bibimbap sauce to give to the guests as a lottery prize.

This is set. He asked Dad Jiang to help him make a wooden box, which was square and square. The bottom of the box was made of a small door that could be opened. On weekdays, a small hole was used to put his hand in to draw the lottery.

This time, the first 50 guests will be given small gifts, so Zhao Heng also specially prepared some Roujiamo.

There is only one special prize, and the prize is a pearl that Zhao Heng specially bought at a jewelry store.

And also because some of the customers in the queue came for this.

But these awards are not random draws, but they have to spend silver money in their store, enough for a hundred yuan to go to the side draw.

There were a total of five children from a few days ago. Two of the children, one greeted guests at the door to go inside, and the other could count, so he let the child stay beside the lottery box and watch.

"Boss, come here..." The visitor raised his head and glanced at the wooden sign next to him, and continued: "Come here, Mala Tang, what is this Mala Tang?"

Zhao Heng heard his voice and hurriedly said with a smile: "Guest Just taste it, I don't know what flavor you want?"

"Taste?" Is there a taste for food? The man turned his head again and looked at the wooden sign on the wall.

There were indeed other signs under the wooden sign with the three characters "Spicy Tang" written there. He took a closer look and found "San Xian", "Spicy" and "Sweet and Sour" on it.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's from Sanxian."

"Okay," Zhao Heng handed him a wooden sign with "Number 1" written on it, and Zhao Heng told him, "It's ready when you wait for the number, and someone will be there. I brought it to you." After a

pause, Zhao Heng smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you are the first guest, and the first fifty people have gifts today, so I have a small gift for you today. ."

That person hadn't heard anyone else say that the store also gave small gifts, and now he asked curiously, "What kind of gift is it?"

Zhao Heng bent down and took out a small box from the drawer under the counter, handed it to him, and said: " It's food made in my own store, and it can be stored for a long time."

The man took the box that Zhao Heng handed over, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you so much." After saying that, he turned around in the store. Find a place to sit and wait.

Brother Yuan was busy in the kitchen, because the method of Mala Tang was not too difficult, and Zhao Heng also taught it a few days ago.

The method of its Mala Tang is very simple. Except for the base material, which is more important and needs to be prepared by Zhao Heng, all the other ingredients are prepared and put into the pot together with the base material.

The kitchen was only separated from the lobby by one wall, and Zhao Heng had built a window and a small door on the back wall after discussing it with Uncle Yang, so the communication between the two is now very easy.

Jiang Yuan was waiting for news from Zhao Heng, and was about to take a sip of water to moisten his throat when he heard his voice: "Brother Yuan, a serving of San Xian Spicy, don't be nervous, just take your time. ."

After saying this, he nodded, and he started the fire and prepared to make Mala Tang.

Then, one sign after another passed to Jiang Yuan. He was busy spinning around, looking at the wooden signs that kept coming. Except for the stewing sound of "gudugudu" and the crackling of matches, he could no longer hear the outside. Noisy.

At the same time, Cheng Lang, who was standing outside the door of "Yu Yi Shun", was working hard to greet the guests inside. He had been busy for a while, so he was a little tired now.

He wiped the sweat on his forehead, remembering that he had to live through the hard days before, his spirits lifted, and he continued to pull guests with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a girl with a flower basket came over and asked Cheng Lang, "Hey, what kind of food do you sell here?"

Cheng Lang hurriedly turned around to answer her, laughing at some food, but not elsewhere. It tastes very good! "

Looking at this, he said: "How good is the taste?" "

When Cheng Lang saw that she started to inquire about the taste of food, he stretched out how delicious it is." His arms have been stretched to the maximum, with a serious expression on his face.

Afraid that this person would not believe it, he continued: "Really! It's really delicious, and the boss said that the first fifty guests today will be given gifts. Do you want to go in and try it?

" In the basket, he weighed his purse and said to Cheng Lang: "Is the food in your store expensive? I'm in a hurry to go out today, so I didn't bring much money."

"It's not expensive or not, sister, you can go in and see . There are all priced ones, but it's fine if you don't buy them."

"Okay, then I'll go in and have a look." This girl is the maid of Miss Xie's house in the town. something.

As soon as I wanted to go back to the house, I passed by this restaurant. Cui Tao has been with the young lady for more than ten years. Since I was a child, I didn't like too many fancy things. There was nothing to criticize except that I especially liked delicious food.

Sometimes even the eldest lady would ridicule her for being a glutton, but Cui Tao felt that after living in the world for decades, there is nothing to do except for food and relatives and friends.

Fortunately, the lady was kind to her and didn't say much about her, so she would still use her monthly routine to buy some food when she was in love on weekdays. Cui Tao looked up at the plaque and entered the store.

"This kind of food!"

"Isn't it? I haven't heard it before. Fortunately, I came to Queqiao Street to buy things today, otherwise I'd have to wait for the Year of the Monkey to go!"

They had two servings of Mala Tang on the table, plus a gift The two roujia buns in the store have been eaten cleanly. The two tall young men thought they could eat more, so they got up and went to the counter to line up.

Cui Tao looked at the tables and chairs in the store, looked around, and decided to buy something to take on the road. She looked at the little brother who was standing at the cabinet and smiled, "Two roujiamo and one pancake fruit, please."

Cui Tao has been with the young lady since she was a child, and her maid also learned some characters, so now she can understand the characters on the sign next to her. This shop, so many, only cost twenty or thirty cents.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly nodded in response. After working in the kitchen for a while, Zhao Heng changed positions with him, saying that the two of them would take turns, otherwise they would be very tired.

Zhao Heng was busy in the kitchen at the moment. As the sun rose, the temperature gradually increased. In addition, there was always firewood burning in the kitchen. The current kitchen was stuffy like a hot stove.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng had the foresight to use this method, and the room was very hot.

After Zhao Heng finished his last meal, he stopped what he was doing, picked up a pot of herbal tea in the ice basin next to him, and drank several cups.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but say: "Fortunately, Brother Yuan was not kept busy here, otherwise it would definitely be hot."

Looking from the window, Brother Yuan's side was not as busy as it was at the beginning. Now, Zhao Heng glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to do his work.

Cui Tao was standing not far away. Since there was no seat to sit, she could only stand. For some reason, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a child beside a wooden box.

In fact, it wasn't the child who attracted Cui Tao's attention, but the black dog squatting at the child's feet. The puppy looks chubby and has a very cute head and head.

It will take some time for her to eat, so she can't help but step forward and walk to Is the puppy yours? The

child's original voice made him tremble with fright. After waiting, he said to Cui Tao, "No, it's not my puppy, it's our boss's. "

"Your boss's?" Is that? Cui Tao pointed at Jiang Yuan, who was busy. The

child paused and said, "Well, yes." "

"Then can it be touched?"

"I don't know, but Haha is very close, so it doesn't matter if you touch it." The boss is now asking a serious question.

In short, it's nothing. The first time he saw Haha, he lay on the ground and let him touch his belly. Now he shouldn't attack anyone. Thinking of this, he dared to agree.

Zhao Haha really gave a lot of face, Cui Tao touched its dog's head without much effort. Looking at its chubby body, Cui Tao liked it very much. After thinking about it, she took it out of the basket she was carrying.

"Haha, what's the name haha? It's such a festive name." Cui Tao rubbed its head while chatting with the child next to her.

Just as she was talking, she heard someone call her number, and Cui Tao got up and left in a hurry.

When the child saw her leave, he squatted down and touched haha, and whispered, "You can't just eat what other people give you in the future, you know?" For example, I'm very worried about that little bone right now, I'll go get you something to eat later, so be obedient! "

At this time, Zhao Heng has already prepared a few more meals. Next, he is busy going to the lottery for everyone. The wooden box is still there, so don't forget this.

Say hello to Yuan Geer, Zhao Heng went to the wooden box to draw a lottery for the guests. Originally, the guests who spent more than 100 yuan sent a prepared note.

Therefore, now Zhao Heng only carried the box to the door and shouted to the guests. The guests said: "Everyone who has a lottery ticket can come to the lottery now! The Grand Prize is a fine pearl! "

I heard the guests who were sitting and eating all stood up excitedly. What is the way to draw a lottery?"

"Customers who spend more than 100 yuan in the store can draw once, and two hundred yuan can be drawn twice. By analogy, you can spend a few hundred yuan to draw a lot of prizes several times."

Zhao Heng raised his voice and continued: "You can get a small gift by participating in the lottery. Even if you can't get something that you can't draw, you will never break your promise."

In fact, it's just a few vouchers and some bibimbap sauce. There is nothing of value, but the pearls cost a lot.

This wooden box contains more than half of the wooden blocks, and each wooden block has words written on it. It is full of calculations. Only a dozen people can win the first, second and third prizes. Other than that, some small gifts are It doesn't cost any money.

Standing beside the wooden box, Zhao Heng opened the box and let the man put his hand into the lottery while accepting the note for the lottery.

Pulling out a small piece of wood, the man glanced at it, handed it to Zhao Heng, and asked, "I don't know how to read, what does that mean?"

"Congratulations! You won the second class and you paid for it. Other than that, I'll give you three more boxes of bibimbap sauce." Zhao Heng took the sign and put it aside.

When they heard that this person had won the lottery, everyone was even more excited. They were scrambling to give Zhao Heng a note, and they all felt that if they were in front of the lottery, the chance of winning would be higher.

"Boss, let me draw first!"

"I don't know how to line up, I'll come first, of course I'll come first!"

Zhao Hengzhi cried and laughed: "Don't worry, come one by one, everyone's chance of winning the lottery It's all the same, don't rush, don't rush."

​​After hearing Zhao Heng's words, everyone stopped pushing forward in doubt, someone whispered something, and someone in the crowd said, "Boss, let's start the lottery! Everyone wait. It's too late , isn't it!"

"Yes, yes, let's get started."

Zhao Heng took the note from the most recent person, and after checking it, he asked that person to draw the prize.

Unlike the previous one, this is his prize.

Seeing that this man didn't win the lottery, the emotions of the people around him grew even higher. He hurriedly handed a note forward, hoping that the next one he would draw would be the pearl.

Even if you don't win a pearl, even if you're like the man in front, you can eat this meal for free. After all, it's still a hundred pennies. It's not a loss or a loss!

...

when I'm busy, time always flies, and after a young man draws pearls, he loses some enthusiasm.

The busy day is over. Zhao Heng finally got some free time, but it was already a long time.

He happened to see Brother Yuan cleaning the dishes in the room, so he hurriedly stepped into the room and cleaned up the rest of the mess with Jiang Yuan.

The children who were helping and shouting on the street before had come back, and at this time they were also helping the two of them, and none of them were idle.

After a few people cleaned up the shop again, Zhao Heng and Jiang Yuan looked at each other, Jiang Yuan went to the counter to get the money box and handed it to Zhao Heng: "It's time to pay them some wages, it's definitely worth it after a busy day. I'm very tired, let them try it later, okay?"

"Of course, this: "Thank you Brother Yuan for reminding me. He took the

money box and called over the children who were helping with the work today. Watching them stand in line, Zhao Hengcai said, "Thanks to your help today, according to the rules, it's time to pay the wages, wait a minute." Come and pick up the next one, don't worry. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the

older of the children, Cheng Lang, kneeling down in front of Zhao Heng with a plop.

He was startled, and hurriedly helped him up, asking, "This is this?" What's wrong? A man can suffer and suffer, but he must not kneel easily! "

Listening to his words, Cheng Lang's eyes slowly filled with tears, no matter how mature and sensible he was, he was just a weak child.

This feeling has already made him not believe that he met the boss on the street, and the children who were homeless together can clean themselves, just like when aunt and aunt were there in the past.

He sobbed and whispered, "Boss, I can do a lot of work, I can wash the dishes for you, and I can be the second to pull customers in the store. Don't drive me away, okay?"

He didn't want to be like before, He has had enough of those days when he can't get enough food and clothing, and he can even work without pay or work for nothing.

Seeing that Cheng Lang, who took the lead, was crying so badly, the younger children couldn't help crying, and they all began to whimper in a low voice.

Looking at their appearance, Zhao Heng suddenly thought of his younger brother, and he didn't know where he was now or how he was doing. He couldn't help but softly said: "I didn't drive you away, and I didn't say that I would drive you away."

Jiang Yuan whispered to him in a low voice, "No matter how you say it, you can't keep so many children." It

wasn't Jiang Yuanxin . If all the children were left behind, they would have so much money and energy.

Besides, even if the older ones can help with the chores, what should the younger ones do? These are questions.

Zhao Heng also understood what Jiang Yuan meant, he said softly: "Why don't you just ask them, if you are willing to stay and help with the work, it is not impossible to stay, if you are young, just ask if anyone is willing to take the initiative. If you are willing to take care of them..."

Before the voice fell, Jiang Yuan continued: "If you are willing, then after paying them wages, they will be able to support themselves completely."

During the conversation, the voice involuntarily amplified, and was heard by Cheng Lang beside him. He hurriedly said: "Yes, I can work hard to support myself!"

Listening to his group of radishes, he asked, "How about you?"

"We are willing, really, after working and earning money, We live outside by ourselves, and we will definitely not cause you any trouble!"

This was a surprise, because it was impossible for so many people to live in the back.

"If that's the case, then I can work here. I'll grow up when I'm seven years old, and come back when I'm older."

At his age, he can already help adults with work, so now only children over seven years old are left. , and later arrange a less tiring job for them.

They eat here, and because they are still young, they have nothing to spend, so the money saved in January should be able to rent a small house nearby.
