Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 688 Chapter 680 Seventh: Daxing Inn
It was said that Mao was going to work, but Dou Hua and Zhang Shi came at the moment.

He didn't dare to knock on the door and call for someone when he came, so that when Tao Dongcheng opened the door of the inn, he was almost scared to death by the two squatting at the door.

The ingredients for today's opening were bought yesterday, so there is no need to go to Chunlin Town early in the morning to buy them.

It's not too late for Tao Dongcheng to sleep until three quarters.

It was agreed that Maozheng was going to work, how could he have thought that these two people had been here for so long.

After asking clearly, Tao Dongcheng hurriedly let people in. It was a day in October, before dawn, and it was cold. After squatting outside for so long, his hands and feet became stiff.

Dazhong first brought charcoal to the big yard to start a brazier, and this box had just been lit and brought it in. Tao Dongcheng asked the two Douhua to warm up first, and then go to work when they are warm.

Song Qiu got up, knowing that the two of them came two quarters of an hour early, so he asked Tao Dongcheng to tell them when he got off work today, telling them to come back at the right time, and it would be too early to do so.

In this cold day, squatting outside for a quarter of an hour with the cold wind blowing will cause problems.

The two Douhua waved their hands at first, saying that it's okay for them to come earlier.

Tao Dongcheng said with a stern face, that you came in early and were frozen and you had to warm up by the fire for a quarter of an hour. Isn't this a waste of time?

Only then did the two hurriedly nod their heads in response, explaining that Ermao is coming again and it is not too early.

This is before work.

Now the two bean curds have warmed up and are busy in the kitchen.

One makes a fire to heat hot water, and the other makes a small stove to sit on a water sling. It’s cold and you have to drink hot water, so this small stove can be used all day long, and you have to sit on a water sip at any time.

The bench is officially on duty for the first day today, and he has been nervous since he woke up early in the morning.

Song Qiu didn't intend to let him handle the big spoon today, so let him help, watch, and cook some side dishes when he was too busy, but even so, he was nervous enough.

Song Qiu didn't talk too much about him, and when they got busy later, they just focused on being busy, and there was no time to be nervous, but Shunzi knew it.

Therefore, Song Qiu was not in a hurry, seeing that he was nervous, let him get busy, making noodles, chopping vegetables, in short, don't rest for a while.

Song Qiu looked closely at Douhua and Mrs. Zhang, and then made arrangements for Mrs. Zhang to stay in the kitchen to help out, washing and serving dishes, while Douhua went to the tea shed to join Mian Mian.

It’s the first day of opening today, and I can’t see how the business is going, and I don’t plan to prepare more things. Today, the tea shed mainly sells noodles and hot and sour noodles. You can buy vermicelli at the Fangji grocery store in the town. Song Qiu was done last night.

Of course, as soon as a row of inns opened, she would form a convoy of her own, such as bean paste, red oil, dried chili, starch, and vermicelli. Fang Ji bought it, compared to the cost, it cost a lot more money, and it was not cost-effective to use too much, so it is better to form a convoy to deliver the goods.

But that's a matter for the future, there are still few inns right now, and it's not worthwhile to make a trip just for this.

In the inn, there are not many prepared today. There are six chickens, six ducks, and three fish, all of which are big silver carp weighing five or six catties. Lean meat these.

The fish needs to be killed immediately, but three chickens and ducks are killed first, and they can be killed when they are not enough to sell. If they can’t be sold, the unkilled ones can be fed. Song Qiu used a chicken to make chicken stew with mushrooms Let it simmer, and then use a duck to make sour radish and old duck soup for preparation, then cut the mutton and mix it with rice noodles and other condiments for preparation, when someone orders it, steam it now, steam the mutton, and steam it for a while Clock is fine.

Then the staple food is steamed buns and rice.

The steamed buns are steamed in two more cages, and the tea shed can also be sold together. In addition, there are tea sheds for steaming mutton. Song Qiu specially bought a small steamer. When the small stove is born, he can sit in the pot at any time. The water is boiling in the pot, and the guests want to come and steam the mutton. , Immediately catch it and steam it in a basket.

In the middle of the day, the mist gradually cleared away, everything was ready, and the auspicious time for opening had arrived.

Before that, the tea shed had received four guests, all of whom came from Chunlin Town or Qiuling County early in the morning. Before the meal time, they saw that there was an inn and tea shed here, so they stopped to have a rest. , Drink a cup of hot tea, or have a bowl of hot noodles or hot and sour noodles if you haven’t eaten breakfast just now.

Therefore, it is said that this room is opened, but in all seriousness, it has already opened.

Song Qiu pulled off the red silk with his own hands, revealing the signboard of Daxing Inn.

On the tea shed and the pole in front of the inn, the cloth banner with the word "Song Ji" hanging in the wind is still fluttering in the wind.

There were no onlookers, and Tao Dongcheng lit the firecrackers under the watchful eyes of everyone in the inn. The crackling was still lively and lively.

The red silk was unveiled and it was officially opened. After waiting for a long time, before noon, a group of people came over from the road in the direction of Shouzhou.

There were quite a few people in this group, all of them carrying swords or holding swords.

There are six people riding horses at the beginning, and all the people walking behind are all in uniform. They walk in two rows, and there are 30 people.

When Ah Ling saw this pedestrian from a distance, he whispered to Song Qiu, "Which martial art is this?"

Just this battle, it looks like it.

Song Qiu nodded, seeing Dazhong greeted outside, the pedestrians stopped, got off their horses, and came inside.

Dazhong stayed outside to set up his horses, while Tao Dongcheng came out inside to welcome the guests to their seats.

There were quite a few people in this group, six horseback riders sat at one table, and the other thirty people sat at four tables with seven or eight at each table. The entire lobby seemed to be full in an instant.

Tao Dongcheng was the shopkeeper for the first time, but he was very skilled in greeting guests, so he immediately greeted the table for six, "I wonder what the guest would like to eat?"

Ah Yin and Mrs. Zhang are busy serving tea, bowls and chopsticks to the guests before the dishes are ordered, and a plate of all the specialties of Songji Inn, the strange-flavored peas, for the guests to wait for before the dishes. pastime.

The man who is obviously the leader among the six people said: "When we passed by here in Linjiang Mansion last time, there was nothing here. In just a few months, there is an inn here. It is so convenient, and we are too. It’s the first time I’ve come back to this small shop of yours, why don’t you introduce what dishes you have.”

Reporting the menu to customers is a unique skill in the waiter. Tao Dongcheng opened his mouth and said: "Today, our small shop has spicy chicken, boiled fish, pickled fish, steamed lamb, konjac roast duck, fried lamb, shredded pork with celery, and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts. Stir-fried winter melon slices, sweet and sour Chinese cabbage, mapo tofu, soups include stewed chicken and mushrooms, sour radish and old duck soup, fish head tofu soup, and rice and steamed buns as staple food, what do you think you would order?"

Hearing the names of the dishes reported, almost all of them were dishes he had never heard of before, and he became interested for a while, "Then come boiled fish, steamed lamb, konjac roast duck, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, mapo tofu, and stewed chicken." For the six dishes of mushrooms, we have to have the same for every table, and for the other tables, just add shredded pork with celery. As for the staple food, we all want rice."
