The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 368 The Tavern Closed

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, Master Niu turned his head and looked at the counter: "Yan Jiecheng, I have a discussion with you. I will keep the account for Master Niu and settle it together at the end of the month. Do you think so?"

"There's nothing wrong with this. Who are you, Niu Ye? There's no one on this street who doesn't know. Don't say it's due at the end of the month, it's done at the end of the year. You can come to our place for dinner, that's to give us face."

Yan Xiecheng knew that the reason Niu had credit was not because he didn't have money. What he wanted was noodles. His ancestors were authentic Eight Banners children. Although he was down and out now, he could eat and drink just one of those things at home. several months.

"Did you hear that? This is the face my master Niu has made in the past few decades." Hearing what Yan Xiecheng said, Master Niu immediately felt that his face had a face, and immediately smiled and said to the people next to him.

"Hey, let me tell you, Yan Jiecheng, you can't treat them differently. Since Master Niu can get credit, you have to give us credit." The people next to him booed.

"I said, what are you guys trying to coax? You can also compare with Mr. Niu. Mr. Niu wants this side for money. What about you? If I really want to give you credit, that man's restaurant will not pay for it." Die." Master Pian saw the crowd booing and said.

"I said Yan Jiecheng, why is there no wine in your restaurant?" Master Niu didn't care about the crowd's booing, but looked at the decorations in the restaurant and asked.

"Isn't there a tavern next to it, so close to us, if we sell alcohol, it won't hurt people's business."

"That's right, you're still thoughtful. You're a person who does big things. That's fine. I won't stay any longer. There's still wine in the tavern next to me. See you later." The man went straight back to the tavern with the packed meals.

At this moment in the tavern, many people bought food from Yan Jiecheng's restaurant and ate while drinking, the smell of the food filled the room.

He Yongqiang looked at the situation in the house and stood on the counter and gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that the newly opened canteen next door was aimed at their family.

"Hey, let alone, the food in the small cafeteria next door is really good, not worse than the food in those big restaurants." Master Niu said while chewing a piece of braised pork.

"I haven't heard of any famous chefs hired in their restaurant? Who made this, Mr. Niu, you are the master among us who have eaten and seen it before. Can you tell which restaurant chef made it?" Well."

"I can't taste it, but it tastes like authentic Sichuan cuisine. There are only a few restaurants in the capital that serve Sichuan cuisine, most of which are Beijing-style Sichuan cuisine. It's really rare to see such authentic Sichuan cuisine." While eating the food, he thought about it and said.

He Yongqiang, who was standing on the counter, was even more annoyed when he heard the people's discussion, and he shouted directly: "In the future, you are not allowed to bring food when you come to the tavern to drink. Our tavern is a place for drinking, and I want to go to other places for dinner. "

"Hey, I said He Yongqiang, are you looking for trouble for nothing? I owe you money or something. I paid for drinking. What's the matter with bringing some food? If your family doesn't have it, why don't you bring it yourself?"

Hearing He Yongqiang's words, Master Niu immediately became unhappy. Isn't this obviously aimed at him? How could he endure it for such a face-saving person.

But He Yongqiang didn't care whether he wanted face or not. When his temper came up, let alone his master Niu, he would dare to go against his own father.He said directly:

"Anyway, you are not allowed to bring food when you drink in our tavern in the future. This is the rule. If you want to come, you can come. I don't beg you if you don't."

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will not come to your family from now on." After speaking, Master Niu threw the small wine glass on the table and was about to go outside.

"Wait, I won't stop you from leaving, but you have to settle the debt owed to our tavern during this period." He Yongqiang thought that everyone would be offended anyway, and he didn't care to offend a little more, so he said in front of everyone I started to ask for the debt from Master Niu, as if Master Niu owed money and refused to pay.

"Okay, okay, hello He Yongqiang, you are trying to embarrass Master Niu and me, who doesn't know that I never bring money with me when I go out, and I will pay you at the end of the month as agreed, and you have started in just over half a month Ask me for money? Does your father know?"

Master Niu was so angry that he was a little speechless. After all, he was such a person who wanted to meet, and He Yongqiang chased him for money in public, as if he deliberately refused to give money.

"Don't mention my father to me. Now that I am in charge of the tavern, I have the final say. Didn't you say that you will not come to our tavern in the future? Then quickly settle the money for me, including today's seven Eighty-two cents." He Yongqiang didn't say a word of affection, and with a straight face, he stretched out his hand and asked Master Niu to hand over the money in person.

Seeing that there was excitement to watch, everyone turned their eyes around, and no one stood up to persuade them to make peace, and they all looked like watching the excitement was not a big deal.

"What if I don't give it today." So many people looked at Master Niu's face and said with a cold face.

"Hmph, if you don't give money, don't even think about going out of this door if you don't give money."

"I have no money with me, what can you do to me?"

Hearing Niu Ye's words, He Yongqiang looked Niu Ye up and down and said: "It's okay if you don't have any money, I think your coat is pretty good, and if I suffer a bit, it will be worth half a month's wine money."

"I said He Yongqiang, don't push yourself too hard. Master Niu came to drink with you to save your father's face. Go, call your father out, let your father come over and talk about something, we can't tell you."

Master Pian saw that He Yongqiang held Master Niu up, and he couldn't get off the stage, so he hurriedly said, after all, Master Niu went to the next door to buy food because of him. After doing this, no one will talk to him in the future.

"What's the matter with you? If you want to get ahead, then you should pay for the wine surnamed Niu. If you don't have any money, just stay on the sidelines. Don't be shameless." I don't know what happened to He Yongqiang today. When you see someone, you will fight.

"Okay, you kid is planning to completely turn against Master Niu. Master Pian, please go to the next door and find Yan Jiecheng. Just say that Master Niu borrowed ten yuan from him, and I will give him the meal money at the end of the month." past."

Master Niu saw He Yongqiang's firm attitude and asked him for money, and there was no other way. After all, it was only natural to pay back the debt. Go to the next door to ask Yan Jiecheng to borrow some money to turn around.

Hearing Master Niu's words, Master Pian came to Yan Jiecheng's restaurant without saying a word. After all, the two restaurants are separated by a wall, and Yan Jiecheng can basically hear what happened in the tavern here, but he can't hear it very clearly. .

After the film master came over, Yan Jiecheng took out ten yuan and handed it over before he could speak.

Master Pian took the money in embarrassment, thanked him and hurried out, returned to the tavern and gave the money to Lord Niu.

Master Niu took the money and threw it directly in He Yongqiang's face: "Let's settle the matter, let's change the money."

He Yongqiang took the ten yuan and began to give Niu Ye some change. He did this mainly to give Niu Ye a bad impression, because he knew that Niu Ye usually didn't bring money with him when he went out, but he didn't expect that Someone actually lent him money.

Seeing Master Niu walking out of the tavern with the change, everyone threw their wine glasses on the table and followed them out.

The reason why everyone didn’t talk just now was mainly because they had no money in their pockets. After all, the people who can come here to drink are ordinary people. It’s good to have a few cents in their pockets. Come to the tavern to drink two taels of wine mixed with water , Gossiping for a long time, even reluctant to order a snack.

Seven or eight dollars is a month's expense for them, who has nothing to do with so much money in their pockets.

He Yongqiang was a little dumbfounded when he saw that everyone had left. After all, he had not been in the capital for a long time. Before that, the tavern was always managed by the old Hetou. During this time, the old He was in poor health and his wife was pregnant. The tavern was in his hands.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of working, all the guests disappeared. If his father knew that it was because of him, then he would not be punished.

So after much deliberation, he could only push the problem to their wine, and told his father that everyone disliked their wine mixed with water, so no one came.

Thinking of this, He Yongqiang directly closed the tavern. Anyway, there was no one in the tavern, so it made no difference whether it was open or closed.

And Yan Jiecheng next door is also preparing to go abroad. On the first day of opening, the business was pretty good, and the meals he made were sold out early. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng saved the meals for the three of them in advance, otherwise the three of them would probably be hungry. I went home with my belly full.

Before leaving get off work, Yan Jiecheng took an inventory of the accounts, and they were not bad. They earned more than eighty dollars on the first day of opening, and this was because their restaurant was only open for half a day and only served dinner.

If it is open all day, it is estimated that it will earn tens of dollars a day.

After counting the accounts, Yan Xiecheng put the account books in the cabinet and began to have dinner with Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi.

After being busy for a long time, I was really hungry, so I picked up the steamed buns and ate them.

"Xie Cheng, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious. Why didn't I hear you say it before? If you know your cooking is so delicious, what kind of restaurants are we going to eat? We wasted so much money and the food is not as good as yours. Good." Qiangzi complained to Yan Xiecheng while eating the vegetables.

"Hey, I was the only one in the family before and I didn't bother to do it. If I didn't want to earn more money and save my wife, I wouldn't do this job of serving people." Hearing Qiangzi's words, Yan Xiecheng replied casually.

"No, Yan Jiecheng, you learned from that, why do I think it's better than those made in big restaurants." Qiangzi couldn't stop eating, and he hesitated before he could swallow the food in his mouth asked.

On the other hand, Cai Quanwu was very quiet, he didn't talk too much when eating alone, and others didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ancestrally, our family has been a cook since my grandfather's generation. I'm just talented." Yan Jiecheng began to talk nonsense. Anyway, their family is dead and no one else knows what's going on with their family.

"Oh, is that right? I didn't expect your family to be a family of chefs. I really underestimated you. Alas, no, why was your family classified as a poor peasant when determining the ingredients? It is said that your craftsmanship is so good, your family should not be bad. Money." Thinking of the ingredients, Qiang Zi asked in disbelief.

"In our family, I am the only one who is good at craftsmanship. That's because I am talented and self-taught. The others are average in craftsmanship, so they cook for people in the village. They mainly rely on farming for their livelihood. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come to the capital." " Yan Xiecheng said nonsense.

"Well, that's right, yes, I understand, let's discuss it with you, and when I start the transport team, I will take care of buying vegetables and food in your store." Qiangzi put the dishes and chopsticks away On the one hand, he said to Yan Jiecheng that he saw that Yan Jiecheng had started his career, and he also wanted to start his own career quickly, otherwise he would have to rely on three rounds all the time, and if he wanted to find a wife, he would be in the Year of the Monkey.

"Okay, but Qiangzi, do you have enough capital? You have to buy three or four tricycles to drive a transport team, and you have to hire people."

"Almost, my dad has already sold the house in his hometown, and I still have one car now, and I can buy three more. I don't need a new one and buy a second-hand one. At that time, I will deliver goods to various merchants in Dashilan .

By the way, nothing, come and help me when the time comes, deliver goods with me on three rounds during the day, and come over to help Xiecheng restaurant at night, don't worry, you will definitely earn more than you fight big bags at the grain station. "Qiangzi patted Cai Quanwu's shoulder as he said that, as if he was about to become a big boss.

Cai Quanwu just lowered his head and didn't speak, he didn't have any mood swings about Qiangzi's words.

"Okay, let's go back after eating, it's getting late, go back to bed early, you two have to go to work tomorrow." Yan Jiecheng said after the three of them cleaned up the dishes.

For the next period of time, Yan Jiecheng rested at home in the morning and went to the restaurant to work in the afternoon. Anyway, he cooked one meal a day until it was sold out.

It doesn't matter if you earn more or less, and he doesn't care about the money, and the tavern has not been open for a while. Since Lord Niu and He Yongqiang broke up, no one went to their tavern to drink.

After all, going to his tavern to drink is just to make people more lively, and if there are fewer people, no one wants to go.

And Yan Xiecheng's small restaurant business is pretty good, he cooks a lot more food than before, otherwise it would not be enough to sell, and he can earn more than ten yuan a day, Yan Jiecheng is quite content, anyway, more money is useless, Enough to spend.

After earning money, he had to change his travel tools. Fortunately, he didn't need a bicycle ticket to buy a bicycle. Yan Xiecheng hurriedly took the money to the department store to pick up a Flying Pigeon [-] Day Carrier.

During the day, Yan Jiecheng rode a bicycle and wore a tunic suit to roam the streets and alleys, and at night he went to restaurants to cook.

During this period, Qiangzi’s transportation team was almost done. His father sold his home house to Qiangzi for a few hundred dollars, and bought three second-hand tricycles. However, Cai Quanwu did not resign as a temporary worker at the grain station. I don't know if I don't like Qiangzi or what.

Yan Xiecheng entrusted Qiangzi with the work of transporting grain and vegetables in the store. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much a day, and he saves himself from running back and forth. Although there is space, he is not the only one in the store. up.
