Across the Market

Chapter 30

Jingbin Building is located at the junction of two main avenues in Songyang County, facing Yingke Lai Street. This area is the most lively and prosperous area in Songyang County. In addition to restaurants, restaurants and tea houses, there are various rouge shops around , Rice noodle shops, silk shops, dim sum shops, etc., are very lively.

After Zhu Fu helped Shen Yuzhu push the cart through a small door on the side, he didn't know where he was going, so he stopped, and while waiting for Quan Erfu to come in to lead the way, he looked at the layout of the Jingbin Building.

The Jingbin building has two floors. The first floor is full of tables and chairs. The tables and chairs are neatly arranged, but Zhu Fu feels uncomfortable looking at them.It's not that it's not clean, but I always feel that the tables and chairs are placed in a bad position, so they are placed in rows, like the tables and chairs in a primary school classroom, without any freshness.

In the lobby on the first floor, there is also a small running hall that sprinkles water and wipes the tables. It is not time to eat at this time, so there are no guests in the lobby.

Seeing Quan Erfu walking in, Zhu Fule smiled and said, "Where is the kitchen? It's not in the way if these two large barrels of tofu are placed here. If my little brother can show us the way, Yuzhu and I will push the cart to the place first." Go to the kitchen and cook a few more dishes by the way." She pointed outside, the sun was shining brightly, and many guests had already entered to welcome them, Zhu Fu said confidently, "In less than a month, I will definitely let more than half of the people at the opposite door Guests step into the gate of Jingbin Building again, and from now on, we guarantee that the business of Jingbin Building will not be worse than that of the opposite door.”

"Whose little girl are you? What a big tone!" Although Quan Erfu felt that the little girl in front of him had a special temperament, no matter how special, she looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl. He started learning to cook at the age of five, and he has only learned it for seven or eight years. How can he compare with the famous chefs specially invited by the opposite door?
Although Fatty Li has poor character, he has been a cook for 20 years anyway. A person who has been a cook for 20 years can only serve as a waiter when he goes to welcome guests. She is a girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old. do what?
Originally, it was because of pity for them that he reluctantly agreed to let them set up a stall at the door, but unexpectedly, he was a lunatic.

"Girls, don't embarrass me. I also work for the boss. I can't take charge of things like you coming to be the cook." Quan Erfu said with a helpless look on his face, and ordered Xiao Paitang, who sprinkled water, said, "Okay, don't spill it, it's almost done. You go to the back kitchen to have a look, and help out, there will be guests soon."

The little running hall ran over with a few steps, and said with a embarrassed face: "Brother Quan, where do we have a chef now? The last remaining cook also left last night. You didn't come yesterday, maybe I don’t know, the boss has already paid him wages.”

"What? The last one left too?" Quan Erfu sighed, beating his chest and feet, "It seems that we won't be staying for long. If this continues, our Jingbin Building will have to close sooner or later."

The Xiaopaotang glanced at Quan Erfu, and said hesitantly: "Brother Quan, I'm afraid...I'm afraid today is also the last day." He secretly glanced at Quan Erfu, as if he was afraid that he would hit him, and suddenly jumped up. After getting a little farther away, he continued, "Don't blame me, I don't want to, but this business is always bad, and it's not a long-term solution. The shopkeeper in the door-to-door reception said there was a lack of a dishwashing person, If you want to hire me to wash the dishes, it would cost you a tael of silver a month."

Quan Erfu did not swear, but sighed deeply, and said to Xiao Paitang: "You are more benevolent and righteous than that Li Dapang, and you are worthy of Jingbinlou if you can persist until the last moment. But, now we respect the guest All the people in the building are gone, how can you open the door to do business!" Then he gritted his teeth and said viciously, "It's really cruel enough to force people into this field!"

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil. Those who should go can't be kept, and those who should stay can't be driven away." A middle-aged man of about forty walked in from the door, wearing a brown round-neck robe and a cloth scarf on his head. , medium height, slightly fat, but with a kind face.

This middle-aged man is the owner of Jingbin Building, his surname is Xiao, and his first name is Jingbin.

Xiao Jingbin walked in steadily, his eyes fell on Zhu Fu, and he asked with a smile: "Little girl, why do you have to come to our Jingbin Building to be a cook? You should know that the business of Jingbin Building has plummeted. If your craftsmanship is as good as you say, you should find a better place."

In fact, he rushed from home early in the morning, and even the last cook left last night. If he didn't come, he might not be able to stabilize people's hearts.Although there are not many people left now, the Jingbin Building is his painstaking effort, and he cannot give up easily.

Looking at the honest middle-aged man in front of him, Zhu Fu already guessed in his heart that he might be the owner of Jingbin Building.

Looking at her face, she is quite a loyal and honest person. If she can support the Jingbin Building in the future, this uncle in front of her will definitely not treat her badly.
