Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Chapter 195

Passersby outside the store couldn't help but become curious when they saw how busy the store was with people coming in and out.

Aunt Chen and Bailai came here with Zhang Sheng and others. Now that they are full, they automatically run to the door to help attract customers.

When he saw people curiously gathering around, he started to talk a lot, "...Yes! It's newly opened, and the food is delicious! If you don't believe me, look at how many people are there. If the food is not delicious, why would people go in and eat his food?"

"Yes, yes! Come in and try it. There are free samples and free tea in the store. Don't miss it if you pass by!"

Hearing that there were free tastings, several women made an appointment to go in. The aunt just said that there were free tastings in the store.

Since it's free and doesn't require any money, why don't you come in and take a look?

I was surprised when I came in. The store was not big, but it was packed with people.

Where is the free sample I promised you?

Several women looked around, and finally one of them saw it with sharp eyes, "Look! Is that over there? They are all eating!"

"Really? Did I see it? It should be the free sample that the aunt just mentioned. Come on! Let's go over there!"

Several people quickened their pace and sprinted over to the table. After smiling reservedly, each of them picked up a plate and started to taste the food.

"Delicious! Spicy!"

The meat is firm and chewy, spicy and numb with a hint of sweetness!

The women's eyes lit up. They didn't expect the rabbit meat to be so delicious. They had eaten it before, but the ones they cooked themselves always had a fishy smell.

While no one was paying attention, several people ate two or three plates each before reluctantly putting down their food.

In fact, what they did was also done by other guests who came to taste the food. After all, it was said to be a tasting, but it didn't say that you can only eat one plate at a time.

Zhong Laoer didn't say anything, but when the customer got the third plate and wanted to take the fourth plate, he would speak out to stop him, because three times the amount would not work.

Free cold rabbit tastings were served one after another, and six out of ten tables ordered this.

There were always a lot of people at the tasting table. It was always the same people coming and going. Some of them even went home and asked their family members to come and try the food after eating.

Mother Zhong felt a little distressed, because all this was her daughter's money! But she knew that this was necessary to build a reputation. Otherwise, it would be terrible if the store opened but no one knew about it.

One day the money will be earned back, Zhong's mother comforted herself and stopped watching. She turned around to collect the dishes left by the guests.

Zhang Sheng waved at her, and when she came closer, he said a little embarrassedly, "Auntie, we haven't finished these dishes yet, can we take them away?"

"Okay! I'll pack it up for you in a bamboo tube." Mother Zhong glanced at the dishes on the table. There were more than ten people, divided into two tables. Except for the table where the escort sat together, there were still two dishes left untouched. It was up to them to decide how to divide the dishes after packing them up and taking them back.

Two people from the escort agency came and sat at the same table with Aunt Chen and her friends. Aunt Chen and her friends couldn't finish the food so they packed it up to take back. The two escorts ordered two dishes and they couldn't finish them either. But they didn't want to waste someone else's bamboo tube, so they just ate it reluctantly.

Escort Hu whispered, "Old Zhao, this restaurant tastes good, you can come here often."

Escort Master Zhao also thought it was good, with a little sweat on his forehead as he ate. "It tastes different from the Manxianglou Food Pavilion."

Although the food at Manxianglou is delicious, there are few spicy dishes. Even if there are, they are all made with dogwood and Sichuan pepper. Although they taste good, I always feel a little uncomfortable after eating too much.

The same is true for Shiweige. They have more spicy dishes than Manxianglou, but you can't eat too much of them. If you eat too much of their spicy dishes, you will feel more uncomfortable than Manxianglou.

Now there is a spicy restaurant next to her own escort agency. I believe that Old Duan will be satisfied when he comes back and eats her food.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they paid for their meal and went back. Zhong's mother asked them to come again next time, and the two smiled and nodded, saying yes.

Mother Zhong stood at the door and watched the two of them go back to the next door. She was about to turn around and go back to the store, but she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye and felt that the figure looked familiar.

When she turned her head to look again, her face immediately turned dark.

Zhong Mei and her son actually came to visit on such an important day.

The two of them discussed along the way and agreed at home that no matter how Zhong's father drove them away today, at least today was a good day for his daughter's new store to open, and he couldn't do anything too embarrassing.

Zhong Mei hadn't even walked to Ruyi Restaurant yet. As soon as she got close to it, she began to sigh, "Your uncle's daughter is really capable. I heard that your second cousin's wonton shop was about to close, but it was your cousin who gave him a braised food recipe that revived it. Look how popular his braised food is now."

Zhang Mingcong nodded, thinking that his mother was right. If his two younger sisters were so capable, would he still need to go out to work?

Thinking of this, he complained, "Mother, what are you talking about? This morning Mingzhu said that I was idle at home all day. Didn't she think that this was what I wanted? She still has the nerve to say that about me. Look at other girls, and then look at her. She is more likely to cause trouble than to help. Isn't the scholar you showed her last time very good? He has a wealthy family and can help me after he marries. Why did she just let it go when she said she didn't want to? Don't we still have Mingzhen?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Mei was also very angry. Her eldest daughter was spoiled by her, and now she doesn't want to be criticized. She has introduced her to so many families, but none of them is satisfactory. She insists on finding someone she likes.

Which girl doesn't get married according to her parents' orders and matchmaker's words, and if the marriage is suitable, she will get married?

She is the one who has too many things to do!

Zhong Mei said unhappily, "Don't talk about your two sisters, think about how to please your uncle!"

The two of them arrived at Ruyi Restaurant. Zhong Mei frowned when she saw the name, "Second brother is really something. How can a girl use this name? She should be named Zhongji!"

Zhang Mingcong swallowed his saliva and said, "Mom, this restaurant is quite big. I didn't expect my cousin to be so capable. It would be great if Mingzhu and Mingzhen could open a restaurant like my cousin Ruyi!"

Zhong Mei didn't like what she heard, and pouted her lips and said, "Your uncle is getting old and confused. How can he hand over such a big store to your cousin? Girls will get married in the future, and I don't want your two sisters to be like her and show off their status. It's so embarrassing!"

It happened that at this time, Zhong's mother came out with a guest from the escort agency next door. When she saw them, she had an unhappy expression on her face.

Zhong Mei recalled that before she got married, her sister-in-law always opposed her, and she felt annoyed whenever she saw her.

But she didn't come here to quarrel today, so she tried her best to put on a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence, we heard that Ruyi opened a new store, so we came here to help."

But Mrs. Zhong ignored what she said and just waved her hands, trying to shoo them away as if they were flies.

"You don't need to be so kind, as long as you stay away from my house, that will be a help!"
