Chapter 149 Selling alcohol
"Where has Boss Xu been playing this time? He's not even doing business... You're sending these little brats to guard your stall. Aren't you afraid they'll mess it up?"
The mature woman in front was watching Xu Yiyi's movements and found them very pleasing to the eye.
There is nothing special about the movements, but it looks nice.
"I know I know."
After hearing this, Xu Yiyi looked in the direction of the voice.
It turned out that the men who had beaten Tan Dalu at the beginning had already run here and sat down.
"Boss Xu, have you taken over Qushenglou?"
The man joked with a smile, and Xu Yiyi frowned slightly.
But he didn't deny it.
You'll know sooner or later.
"Everyone knows about the Qushenglou place, right? Boss Xu has taken it over. We can eat somewhere else soon."
The man shouted back.
The crowd suddenly became agitated.
"When are you moving in? The food here is delicious, and it's so lively with so many people. It's so nice to sit down and drink, eat, and chat..."
One of the diners sighed, Xu Yiyi’s stall was too small.
Most people just buy and leave, but I want to sit down.
Unfortunately there is no space.
"We can move over there once the repairs are done. Everyone must come and support us!"
Xu Yiyi shouted, and the diners in front of the stall smiled.
"That's right, the food here is delicious, so we followed the smell and found it..."
While talking, Xu Yiyi served out a plate of tofu and asked Xu Anyang to distribute it to the diners.
"What does he mean by that, sister?"
Er'er didn't understand what he heard and looked at Xu Yiyi curiously.
"My eldest sister bought the Qushenglou Restaurant. We will also open a restaurant in the future."
Xu Yiyi smiled restrainedly, and Er'er was dumbfounded when she heard it.
It took him a while to react.
"Did I hear correctly, sis?"
Er'er pinched his arm, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Is Second Sister in pain?"
Sihai stood up and took a look, then nodded.
"It hurts! It really hurts. What Big Sister said is true."
As Er Er spoke, she began to cry.
Sihai scratched his head, "Big sister told you but you still don't believe it."
After saying that, he sighed, squatted down and continued to make a fire.
Sanchuan and Xu Anyang looked at each other and said, "It's like a dream..."
"I'd better wait until I get home tonight before dreaming. Hurry up and serve the food to the guests."
Xu woke the two of them up at once, and the one who had paid was served his food again.
They are all kind-looking people who often come to Xu Yiyi's stall. Even when Er'er makes a mess, he still looks very kind.
"Where's A-Yue?"
In the gaps between his busy work, Xu Yiyi had the time to ask.
Snowball was still there, but A Yue was nowhere to be seen.
This is really rare.
"Stop talking. There were so many people just now. I don't know who was pushing and shoving at the back, and some customers were forced to squeeze in. I wasn't paying attention, and a can of sauce was missing from the shelf. Ah Yue must have gone after it."
Er Er pointed to the shelf next to him where various sauce jars were placed.
Xu Yiyi glanced around and found that one can was indeed missing.
"What's missing?"
……
"There's a jar of peanut butter missing."
Er'er laughed and said that peanut butter is mostly used when cooking porridge.
It doesn't matter if it's stolen.
Xu nodded. The most important sauce she made was the chili sauce, and the owners of several restaurants in the town had come to her several times in succession.
I just want to buy the recipe of these sauces from her.
Xu Yiyi naturally refused.
It’s not surprising that someone comes to steal the sauce tonight.
Maybe he wants to take it back and think about it himself.
As he was speaking, A Yue came back with a jar and put it back with a clang.
"Where did this chase go?"
Er'er washed her hands and went over to help A Yue tie her hair.
I don’t know how fast I ran, but my hair is already a mess.
"I don't know! I went to ask for an alley and beat someone up before coming back."
A Yue shook her head and held the snowball in her arms.
Xu Yiyi looked down and wondered if the dairy sheep at home would be jealous. After all, before Snowball came, it was A Yue's treasure.
I use a comb to tie my hair every day.
Now that love has been transferred directly to Snowball.
If Sihai hadn't been thinking about it, I would have probably forgotten to feed the sheep at home.
Xu Yiyi chatted with a few children, her hands moving skillfully.
The guests who came back after getting their drinks saw that Xu Yiyi was cooking and hurried over to order.
The food in the wooden barrel gradually decreased, and Qingshan also strolled out of the alley.
"Boss Xu, did you leave any food for me?"
Qingshan sat down with great determination and took out a wine jug from his waist.
"Of course. No matter who is missing, your Uncle Qingshan can be missing."
Xu Yiyi brought over the grilled fish soaked in sauce.
Behind him, Er'er brought a pot of porridge to the table with a rag, and it was filled with grilled shrimps, crabs, squid, tofu and other ingredients.
In order to reward Qingshan, Xu Yiyi bought a tender chicken directly at the dock.
I borrowed the kitchen of a nearby tavern to clean the chicken and marinated it with rice wine and ginger slices for a while.
Then he used a dagger to slice the chicken meat bit by bit, and used the remaining chicken bones to make a pot of porridge.
The chicken slices are grilled on the iron plate and brushed with jam and chili sauce.
That tastes better than pork belly.
The meat is tender and fresh, and Qingshan is very delicious.
"Let me tell you, alcohol is essential in that restaurant."
Qingshan swallowed the food in his mouth, and after satisfying his craving, he began to savor it slowly.
Taking this opportunity, I talked to Xu Yiyi about the things to pay attention to when opening a restaurant.
"Among the money earned at Qushenglou, wine accounts for the largest portion. Fine wine goes well with delicious food. If there is no wine in the restaurant, half of the customers will be gone."
Qingshan said this as he picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth.
The shrimp shells are not even peeled, and they make a crunching sound when you bite them.
"Sister Yiyi, what Uncle Qingshan said is indeed true."
Xu Anyang put down his chopsticks and started talking.
"Sanchuan and I have heard customers say more than once that there is no alcohol here, which is a pity."
……
"Yes, yes, big sister, once this restaurant opens, we have to sell drinks too."
Sanchuan looked at Xu Yiyi and spoke anxiously.
Xu nodded.
She can open a small stall without selling alcohol, but it’s different for a restaurant.
She couldn't ask the guests who came to eat at her place to go to the restaurant and get a pot of wine before coming, right?
"I know most of the wine shop owners in town. Go look around. If there's any wine you like, I'll talk to them and you can buy some stock and sell it back."
Qingshan took a sip of wine and felt very happy.
He thought that the other guests must be the same as him.
……
"Boss Xu! If you want to buy some wine, come find me!"
A voice suddenly came into everyone's ears.
