All-Rounded Strategy Game - Chapter 199
This is the second pair of chopsticks that Xuanqing broke. It was also when talking about Jiang Li’s “marriage”, except that no one except Jiang Li knew why he broke the chopsticks with shaking hands.
Uncle Cai was originally a little drunk, but he was glanced at Xuanqing’s cool eyes, and his whole body was agitated, and his mind instantly awoke. He subconsciously touched his arm, feeling a chill.
Jiang Li sat next to Xuan Qing, looked at Xuan Qing’s serious expression of trembling hands, smiled and cursed “Meng Sao” in his heart, stretched out his hand to take a new pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and handed it to him: “Little master, lighten up.” Use it, don’t shake your hands and fold all our chopsticks.”
There was a joke in his words, Xuan Qing raised his eyelids slightly, met the smile in his eyes, paused, and reached out to take the chopsticks in his hand.
“Thanks a lot.”
Being interrupted by Xuan Qing, the topic just now naturally broke off and switched to the new opening of the inn.
Everything in the shop is ready. Some old walls on the first floor have been renovated, and the tables and chairs have been replaced with new ones.
At the checkout counter on the first floor, Jiang Li made people create a wine cabinet with a novel and beautiful shape. In addition, even the “Jiang Family Inn” plaque outside the door was replaced with a new one, replaced by “Jiang Family “Restaurant”, hand inscription by Jiang Li, and engraved on it by the best craftsman in town.
Compared with the warm decoration of the inn before, the shop looks more atmospheric now. Of course, the consumption level has also risen compared to before, after all, the initial investment is not a small amount.
In short, everything just waits for the opening time.
Father Jiang asked people to watch the days, and five days later, it would be a good day to open.
A few days before the opening, Jiang Li drew up a brochure and hired someone to promote his restaurant in the town. In addition to a special storyteller in the restaurant three days before the opening, there was a gift of cakes for dinner. In addition to pastries, each table will be given a pot of good tea, and the first 50 tables that enter the store for consumption on the same day can have a lottery. The prizes include tea, wine, pastries, couplets, rouge and other things.
Mr. Storyteller was invited by Jiang Li to spend money. The story was written by him silently from the “Water Margin” and “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”.
This world belongs to the overhead world, and the culture here is different from the culture of the time he once lived. There have not been the four major masterpieces. He silently wrote some to the storyteller so that he can familiarize himself with it.
Mr. Storyteller is a little old man in his fifties. Apart from drinking alcohol, his favorite is textbooks. After reading the script that Jiang Li handed to him, the whole person was in a state of amazement. The script in the opponent’s words couldn’t be put down, and after reading it several times, it was still not enough.
He asked if this was Jiang Li’s own script. Jiang Li naturally denied it and told him that it was a story he had been fortunate to read by accident.
Before the restaurant opened, a lot of money was spent on manpower and decoration. At first, Father Jiang was worried that it would not be worthwhile to spend such a large amount of thought on it.
The main purpose of Jiang Liquedao’s early opening of a restaurant is to build a reputation. These arrangements are just to attract customers with fresh pictures. After the guests come to the door and taste the food of their own restaurant, they will naturally come again for the second time.
Father Jiang thought that what he said was reasonable, so he didn’t object.
In ancient times, there were no communication tools such as televisions and mobile phones. Propaganda relied on a mouth. Jiang Li found a few clever, but culturally-minded young men for propaganda, accompanied by a carefully drawn restaurant leaflet. Hundreds, hundreds of thousands.
In this era, no one has given out a publicity leaflet to make a name for the opening of his restaurant. Jiang Li was the first one, and it quickly aroused repercussions.
The propaganda map was hand-painted by Jiang Li. There is no photocopier in this world, and everything can only be done by yourself. Although Qingshui Town is not large, it has a large population and a lot of flyers are needed. There are currently seven people in the restaurant, including Jiang Li. Father Jiang is not literate and can’t paint. The flyers can’t help. Busy, let alone Uncle Cai and Xiaodouzi, they are all illiterate.
Fortunately, Xuanqing was still there. After Jiang Li painted some, Xuanqing came to copy the rest, which saved him a lot of time.
In addition to the introduction of the restaurant’s opening activities, the front of the leaflet also draws some exquisite and beautiful cakes, dishes and tea sets, and the back is a simple map of the restaurant’s appearance.
Such leaflets can be seen everywhere in modern times, but in ancient times they are very strange. Although the people in the town are not literate, they can always understand the patterns on the list. If you really don’t understand them, you can ask. Others. So in just a few days, almost the entire Qingshui Town knew that Jiang’s Inn had been transformed into a restaurant, and it was about to open.
For the opening of the restaurant, Jiang Li was very busy. In addition to teaching Uncle Cai’s cooking skills, he also had to prepare the ingredients needed on the day of the opening. Almost one person served as two people.
On the opening day, two rows of large flower baskets were placed on both sides of the door of Jiangjia Restaurant. The red cloth hanging on the flower baskets read “Congratulations on the grand opening of Jiangjia Restaurant”.
Needless to say, the custom of placing flower baskets at the entrance of the restaurant is based on modern times.
In front of the Jiang’s restaurant, gongs and drums were loud, firecrackers rang out for several miles, and the lion dance team that churned, jumped, and shook their heads and tails was even more eye-catching.
Although Qingshui Town is small, there are a lot of rich people, and there are also many people who like to join in the fun. Therefore, after some publicity arranged by Jiang Li, there are many people around the entrance of the restaurant today. Everyone looks at the lion dance team. The lively performance made waves of applause.
The performance of the lion dance team ended, firecrackers sounded again, and the whole scene was very lively.
The sound of firecrackers stopped, and the specially dressed-up father Jiang stood up and said to everyone in front of him: “Our Jiang family restaurant is open today, and there are many discounts. If you pass by, you might as well come in and have a taste. Give it a try, it’s up to you to decide whether this dish is delicious or not. I, Jiang Shouye, thank you again!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else applauded and shouted “Okay.” Father Jiang saw that the response was good, smiled with satisfaction, and then clapped his hands. The little bean behind immediately stepped forward and moved the big steamer at the door. Uncover it!
The steamer was filled with freshly steamed soup dumplings this morning. As soon as the lid was opened, a white mist popped out, and the aroma of the soup dumplings rushed to overflow. The fragrant soup and meat foam were combined. The smell rolls over, extremely stimulating one’s taste.
The buns in the steamer have thin skin and a lot of stuffing. The whole buns are bulging, showing a crystal clear feeling. When you look closely, you can see that there is a thin layer of oily light on the mouth of the buns.
Xiaodou picked up a bowl, picked up one of the buns and put it into the bowl, and then gently poke the chopsticks, and thick soup flowed out of the cracked bun skin, and flowed to the bottom of the bowl along the lines of the bun.
This is the soup dumpling that Jiang Li learned in the last world. It has a great appearance and taste.
The people present just saw Xiaodouzi’s operation and couldn’t help swallowing. Someone asked loudly, “Treasurer Jiang, what are you buns?! How come it smells so fragrant!”
Father Jiang smiled and said: “This is a soup dumpling with fresh meat. In addition to the meat, there is also rich and delicious soup. It’s not my bragging. This steamed bun in our house not only smells, but also tastes delicious!”
Someone couldn’t help but smell the scent of steamed buns, and immediately asked: “Why are this steamed buns sold?! Give me two copies, uncle, you are greedy to me!”
“I also want!”
“And I!!”
Others also made their voices heard, and their stomachs gurgled with the smell of the soup dumplings. They wanted to step forward and grab the steamed stuffed bun from the small bean bowl and stuff them into their stomachs. , Solve the greedy bugs!
Although there are many steamed bun shops in the town, there has never been a steamed bun that can make such a fragrance. Just smelling it can make people appetite.
Everyone’s reaction was also expected by Father Jiang. When he ate the soup dumplings made by Jiang Li for the first time a few days ago, the delicious soup and the soft and soft skin made him almost even I swallowed my tongue!
He waved his hand and said, “The buns in our restaurant are not for sale today!”
“What?! Not for sale? What a joke?!”
“Your restaurant doesn’t do business, so what restaurant do you open?!”
“Yeah! Let’s play with it!”
Seeing everyone’s indignation, Father Jiang raised his hand and pressed it to signal everyone to be safe, and then said loudly: “We don’t sell steamed buns today, but they can be given away! All customers who come to the store for consumption will get a soup. Packages, while stocks last!”
What he said made everyone stunned for a moment, and then they realized that this was the gifting activity that Jiang’s Restaurant had been promoting in the past few days, and they suddenly became excited again.
Since steamed buns can be cooked so well, other dishes must be no different. Anyway, where can you eat? Have a meal here with steamed buns and tea!
There are many people who think this way, so after Jiang’s father announced the opening, many people walked into the restaurant one after another.
Of course, some people choose to look out, and some people turn around and leave after watching the excitement.
The restaurant swarmed with more than a dozen tables of guests. Xiaodouzi and the other two shopkeepers were so busy that they were singing dishes.
All the guests who came in to order food were presented with a dish of soup dumplings. As soon as the buns were on the table, the guests could not wait to pick them up, stuff them in their mouths, and bite them, and they would be scalded with tears by the soup inside.
Seeing this, Xiaodouzi quickly reminded the other party about the way to eat the soup dumplings, and asked him to take a small bite, take a bite of the soup inside, and then eat the stuffing of the dumplings, so as not to burn his mouth.
Many customers were scalded, but it did not affect the deliciousness of the steamed buns.
The rich soup and delicious meat fillings are eaten into the mouth, and the extreme fragrance and taste seem to spread to every corner of the mouth, which inspires a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of my heart.
One soup dumpling can be so delicious, everyone can’t help but look forward to other dishes.
Some people looking at the door, seeing the people eating inside, finally couldn’t help but follow in to try something new.
Steamed pork ribs with garlic, glutinous rice-wrapped chicken, chopped pepper fish head, sauced duck, bacon choked eggplant, boiled beef, fresh mushroom and old chicken soup…a dish was passed to the table by the hands of Xiao Er, and the guests present at the beginning He admired the deliciousness of the food as he ate it, and in the end, all that was left was to eat and drink.
Some of the guests who had finished their meal were not in a hurry to leave, and listened to the story from the storyteller while drinking tea.
Some of the guests who left the restaurant met their acquaintances on the way, and recommended the dishes of Jiang’s Restaurant to them.
In such a two-to-two, two-to-three situation, more and more people were curious about the food in Jiangjia Restaurant. Soon the first and second floors of the restaurant were full, and many people came to inquire.
The first day the restaurant opened, it achieved unprecedented success and became a new topic in the town.
After closing in the evening, Father Jiang was calculating today’s bills. Although he was not literate, he was a good hand at settling accounts. In order to save money when he opened a restaurant, he even went to the accountant to learn how to settle accounts.
He found that although the restaurant opened a lot of gifts to the guests, there were a lot of guests today, and there were a lot of accounts. At the end of the calculation, his hands were a little trembling.
He has opened an inn for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has made so much profit! !
On the other hand, Jiang Li was busy in the kitchen for a whole day today. He felt like he was full of oily smoke and his wrists were a little sore from exhaustion. Finally, he was idle. He carried the bucket and planned to take a hot bubble bath in the kitchen.
Xuan Qing accompanied Jiang Nuomi to watch the moon in the yard. When he saw him coming out with a bucket, he knew he was going to fetch water and bathe. He immediately took the wooden bucket in his hand and said, “I will help you.”
Jiang Li was tired for a day and didn’t fight with him. After he helped himself fill the tub with water, he said, “Thank you, little master.”
“You don’t need to be polite with me.” Xuan Qing said, seeing him frowning and rubbing his shoulders. It was obvious that his shoulders and arms were sore after cooking for a day, so he asked, “Is it tired?”
“It’s kind of.” Jiang Li smiled, repeating the cooking action. It’s impossible not to be tired, but it’s acceptable.
Xuan Qing saw the inconspicuous fatigue between his eyebrows, a little distressed, his mouth reacted faster than his brain, and he blurted out: “I’ll press it for you when you take a shower.”
When these words were spoken, both of them were stunned for a moment.
When taking a bath, Xuan Qing offered to help Jiang Li “press one button”, which sounded like Jiang Li said he wanted to help Xuan Qing take a bath.
The atmosphere was a little subtle. Xuan Qing realized what she had said, and was about to explain it, when Jiang Li looked at herself meaningfully, and said slowly: “Little master, please respect yourself.”
Xuan Qing: “…”
I really didn’t mean that! ! !
