Chapter 177
Li Mancang brought it upon himself
After the two sat down, Shopkeeper Qian said directly: "Have you heard that Fumanlou has to let people who have dined at his house for two whole days come and eat for free?"
Qin Zhiyi nodded: "I heard it from my little boy today."
Shopkeeper Qian continued to nod, and then looked out the window: "The Li family is unscrupulous in doing things. This time they just want to take away all the guests from our two families. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Looking at Shopkeeper Qian in front of him, Qin Zhiyi even expressed his curiosity: "Shopkeeper Qian has never valued these things. Why can't he sit still today after hearing that Li Mancang's place is free?"
Shopkeeper Qian started to dodge his eyes after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "No, no, how can a businessman be so calm? When your restaurant opened, I couldn't sit still, and now Fumanlou is doing something behind his back.
Knife, naturally I can’t sit still anymore.”
Qin Zhiyi added: "If the former shopkeeper wants to know how to deal with it, I can only express it in four words."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but sit up straight, with hope in his eyes: "Oh, what four words?"
"Everyone depends on his ability."
Qin Zhiyi said these four words calmly, and then smiled slightly and said: "That's all I have to say today. If shopkeeper Qian has other tricks, it won't matter. I have no other abilities in Chengyi Restaurant."
, I will only do business properly."
"snort."
When shopkeeper Qian heard this, his expression changed and he sneered: "I thought our two families could form an alliance, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper of Chengyi Restaurant to be so petty. In this case, I won't say a word and say goodbye."
After saying that, shopkeeper Qian waved his sleeves at her, stood up, and went downstairs angrily.
When shopkeeper Qian left, Qin Zhiyi did not follow him. Instead, he sat by the window and continued to drink the unfinished cup of tea in front of him.
Hearing this, He Changxuan lowered his voice and asked her: "Sister Ayi, shopkeeper Qian just proposed an alliance, why didn't you agree to him by the way?"
Qin Zhiyi said: "Think about it, shopkeeper Qian runs a restaurant in Yunyang County for more than a day or two. If he can still maintain a stable business after so many years, it means that he also has his own way of survival. He was able to sink his teeth before.
I can hold my anger, but now I can't. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there will be a monster."
He Changxuan didn't quite understand at this moment: "Sister Ayi, I still don't understand. I think that if Li Mancang's place is free for two days, it would make ordinary people unable to sit still."
Just when He Changxuan was puzzled, Fei Chengsheng also went upstairs at this time and said: "You are right, there must be a monster when things go wrong. He just wants to interfere with it, let the fishermen compete with each other and benefit.
.”
Hearing this, He Changxuan immediately understood: "Oh, I understand. What the young master means is that if Chengyi Restaurant and Fuman Restaurant continue to fight, both sides will suffer losses. Their restaurant will continue as usual. When our two restaurants cannot continue to open, he will
Just be the best."
Qin Zhiyi and Fei Chengsheng looked at each other and thought of being together.
"That's pretty much what it means."
He Changxuan sighed again: "Sure enough, people's hearts are separated from each other. I heard that shopkeeper Qian even worshiped Buddha, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing."
Ah Xi, who was cleaning the table at the side, heard all the conversations of several people. He couldn't help but interjected: "If they really want to do this, it's actually not difficult to do..."
He Changxuan asked: "Axi, what can you do?"
Ah Xi chuckled: "I don't have any good ideas, it's just random thoughts. If it doesn't work, I'd better clean my table."
After saying that, Ah Xi slipped away again.
He Changxuan was still confused, but Qin Zhiyi and Fei Chengsheng had already seen it clearly.
At this moment, Fei Chengsheng walked across from Qin Zhiyi, and both of them looked downstairs.
I saw Ah Xi sneaking out of the restaurant after going downstairs, and then hurriedly ran in the other direction.
Fei Chengsheng asked her: "How about turning a blind eye?"
Qin Zhiyi raised his eyebrows: "That's exactly what I meant."
The two looked at each other again, and their inner thoughts coincided.
On the other hand, He Changxuan scratched his head anxiously when he saw these two people playing riddles: "Sir, Sister Ayi, what are you two talking about?"
Qin Zhiyi said: "Chang Xuan, do you want to try stir-fried loach and eel at noon?"
"Yes, of course I do!"
He Changxuan licked his lips and said: "When I heard you telling the chef how to make it, my mouth was already watering. Put the marinated loach and eel into the pot and fry it. Take it out and fry it again, adding chili pepper.
And Sichuan peppercorns, just by listening to them, you can tell that they are crispy, crunchy, spicy, spicy and delicious."
This was exactly the result she wanted. Qin Zhiyi smiled and said: "Why don't you go help quickly? There are a lot of loaches and eels. Let's pick some and process them first, and put the rest into the kitchen tank."
After that, she said with emotion: "Although we have introduced new dishes in the past two days, I'm afraid not many people will eat them, so let's keep them for now."
"Not many people eat, that's because they don't have enough food to eat. Sister Ayi, Master, I'm going to go down and help!"
On the twelfth day of the eighth lunar month, Fumanlou opens again.
When firecrackers are lit, people throughout Yunyang County can hear them.
Sure enough, early that morning, Fumanlou was already lined with people, queuing from the entrance to the city gate.
Li Mancang stood in his restaurant, looking at the long queue, pinching his beard and feeling very happy.
The new shopkeeper next to him hurriedly flattered him and said: "Master, look at these people, they look like they haven't eaten in a few lifetimes. They are all queuing up. If I look at it, there won't be anyone in the Chengyi Restaurant."
Li Mancang laughed even harder: "We have to be careful about our new opening this time. During the two days of free service, they will not be able to sell a single dish. The weather is hot, and the vegetables and meat they bought will not be able to be sold."
Are they all broken? I want to see how long they can last."
The shopkeeper gave him a thumbs up: "My boss, you are so good. You are so good."
Then the shopkeeper looked at the long queue, and everyone couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly for him to open the door.
When Li Mancang saw him, he waved his hand and the guys were already standing at the door to greet the guests.
Little did he know that with a wave of his hand, all the people who had been waiting in line crowded in.
Li Mancang was startled by this posture, and said loudly: "Queue in line, I told you to line up, what's wrong with you?"
But there were too many people and too much noise, and his voice was quickly drowned out.
Those who rushed in didn't care that there were so many people. Even though there was food on the table, they were still not satisfied.
People who came in took everything and ate it, and started grabbing it like crazy.
Some people carried plates directly, while others carried robes and bags. They grabbed everything they saw and ran away.
When Li Mancang saw this scene, he was extremely shocked.
After reacting, he immediately shouted: "Hurry, stop them quickly. Let's eat. Why did you even take away the plate?"
"And over there, what's going on with you? You're not allowed to enter the kitchen, and you're not allowed to take it!"
