Transmigrated into Substitute Bride ‘Fu Lang’ - Chapter 81

    “Huh? Why are there so many orders?”

    Chen Xing heard what Qiu Jiu said and thought he had heard it wrong. If he did not make a mistake, their store just opened, where is the order?

    Seeing that Chen Xing had been standing there motionless, Qiu Jiu thought that he did not understand what he said, and handed over a few lists in his hand, looked at him and said: “Little boss, Now is not the time to be in a daze, we have to start cooking.”

    Chen Xing looked at the list handed in front of him, looked at the dishes on it, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and found that what Qiu Jiu said was true, he suddenly woke up, a little excited asked, “How many guests are there?”

    Qiu Jiu was obviously very clear, when he heard Chen Xing ask this, he immediately said: “It seems that we all heard that our restaurant was framed because the food was so good that it stole other people’s business. . Those who have never eaten and have a good money will come immediately after hearing that we are reopening. People will come in one after another, and they will definitely be busier later. “

    Just as Qiu Jiu explained with Chen Xing, Qiu Wu, who was also entertaining in the hall, brought in a few more orders.

    Only then did Chen Xing believe what Qiu Jiu said, and immediately laughed, full of energy: “Everyone, we have started work!”

    “Okay!” Others in the kitchen responded one after another, and the whole kitchen was in full swing.

    The store just opened, and the customers who came in were still ordering. Gu Lang at the front desk looked at the customers who came in one after another at the door, and a few words appeared in those shallow eyes. Feeling bored.

    It wasn’t until a few familiar scholars walked in that Gu Lang’s eyes showed some interest.

    “Big boss, I heard that your house has reopened. We came here to cheer you on. You have suffered a disaster this time.” The first to speak was Fu An, who had not seen him for a long time. Behind him were several of his classmates, the most conspicuous among them was Shen He.

    Since the last time he learned that the little boss had a good match, Shen He felt uncomfortable, and there was such a big ugliness here, and he didn’t come to the door for a while. This time, I heard that their store suffered an unwarranted disaster, so when he heard Fu An said that he was going to come over to support the scene, he tangled and followed.

    At this time, looking at the man sitting behind the counter, Shen He’s eyes still showed a bit of complexity. Although he didn’t think this man was not worthy of the little boss, he just felt a little bit in his heart. Uncomfortable. Just when he was thinking like this, the man glanced at him lightly, and there was not much emotion in his eyes, but it made him tremble.

    Gu Lang’s memory has always been very good, so he naturally remembers who these people are, especially the man behind Fu An who is a little peeking at Chen Xing, but for these scholars who have not yet graduated from the academy, he still Don’t take it seriously.

    Gu Lang glanced lightly at the man who was still trying to provoke him, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the cheerful child in front of him with a gentle smile, and said softly:

    “Thank you for your visit, this reopening, our restaurant decided to give each guest an extra bottle of fruit wine and a plate of our secret dishes, and you are from Chen Xing I’m an old guest, I’ll give you two more bottles of my own initiative.”

    “It’s a good feeling!” Fu An couldn’t wait to hear the secret dish. The ordinary dishes in this small restaurant are already delicious. Like, “Let’s go, let’s hurry up and order!”

    Shen He looked at the gentle and polite man in front of him, as if the eyes that shocked him just now were just an illusion. Just before he could figure out whether the feeling just now was his illusion, he was pulled in by the overly excited Fu An. In the gap between going to the backyard box, he looked back and saw that the man standing there was smiling as gently and politely as before, but when he looked over from him, he could see a bit of coldness. He shook the goose bumps on his body for some unknown reason, and followed Fu An and the others in.

    After Fu An and the others left, two more acquaintances came in, and those two were Liao Hui and his sister.

    Although Liao Hui had trouble in their restaurant, but because he bravely stood up to testify for them last time, the people in the store had a lot better sense of him, so they came in. At that time, Qiu Jiu, who was in the store, greeted him with a smile and went out, and after handing out the sign, he invited someone in.

    Liao Hui looked at Qiu Jiu, who came out to entertain, and then looked at the livelier scene than he imagined, whether it was people walking into the store, or people buying wine or jelly at the door of the store, it was lively Outrageous.

    Liao Hui and the others originally came here on the pretence that no one would come to eat, but they came to rush people’s heads, but they didn’t think that they didn’t need it at all, and a bit of surprise appeared on their faces, “Your business in this store …”

    Qiu Jiu naturally understands his unfinished meaning. After they opened the door, they were surprised to see this scene, but when they heard his words, they smiled modestly, “This scene we I didn’t expect it, and it’s also thanks to everyone’s liking for our restaurant. Today, for the guests who came, we also specially prepared gifts for each table of customers, a plate of special dishes, and a bottle of fruit wine.”

    “Oh? There is a special dish, so I must try it.” Liao Hui didn’t say anything more after hearing this. He took his sister, raised his feet and walked inside. .

    Just when everyone in the small restaurant was busy, a man in his thirties was cooking at the tea stall on the corner of the street opposite the small restaurant. This man was Mr. Chen.

    Although Mr. Chen felt that the dessert and wine were profitable, but in order to make sure, he did not act immediately. Things really have the money he envisioned, and he starts to think of ways.

    So, after hearing that the restaurant was reopening today, Mr. Chen brought his servant over to see how his business was going. When he saw the scene of people coming and going, and the expensive desserts and fruit wine being bought in an endless stream, the thoughts in his heart became more and more alive. After he saw that those things were sold out, The second in the store reached its peak after announcing that it would not sell.

    “Master, do you still need tea?” The owner of the tea shop looked at Master Chen sitting there, saw that the tea cup in front of him was empty, and asked aloud.

    Master Chen was awakened by his voice, looked down at the empty teacup in front of him, and asked him to refill it for himself. After he filled himself with tea, he asked inadvertently, “The desserts at the restaurant across the street are so good, why don’t they sell them when they sell so little?”

    The owner of the tea shop heard what he said, he laughed, and explained to him, “Master, don’t you know something? I heard that the things in their shop are They are all made by their little boss. Because they have to control the taste of desserts, they can’t make much every day, so they don’t sell as many as they are, and they are sold out. But even so, they don’t make much money every day. Forget it, I heard that his husband only needs to collect money every day, and he doesn’t have to do anything else, and he is really lucky to marry such a powerful husband!”

    Master Chen listened to his rather envious tone, and subconsciously answered, “Why doesn’t he invite more people to do it?”

    The tea shop owner laughed when he heard him ask, “If they do more, they will definitely make more money. Who knows what they think. If you hire someone, do it yourself, you will definitely do as much as you can, and you can earn as much as you can.”

    Master Chen did not speak, but nodded secretly, agreeing with what he said, and at the same time looking at the people coming and going not far away, the rich people came in and out. In the restaurant, a greedy look gradually emerged in his eyes.

    At this moment, a servant dressed in the same clothes as Mr. Chen walked over, stood in front of Mr. Chen, and said in a low voice: “Master, I have inquired clearly.”

    “Oh?” Master Chen looked at the servant, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned him to sit down and talk.

    The servant first thanked Mr. Chen, then sat down and told what he had inquired, “The food in their store is all their little boss. Even the popular desserts and fruit wine were made by the little boss. And their big boss, the little boss’s husband, is only responsible for collecting money at the front desk, and the rest seems to be nothing what to do.”

    “Then can you be sure who the big boss and the small boss are?” Because he was worried that he would be recognized and affect the follow-up plan, Mr. Chen himself could not pass. However, he still wanted to be more sure, so he asked directly.

    The servant thought about it for a while, and immediately said: “The little boss is busy in the back kitchen, and the little one didn’t see it. But the big boss, I’m sure it’s the broken scholar from the Gu family, this is absolutely Can’t be wrong.”

    Hearing what the servant said, Master Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, and in addition to greed, there was a little doubt in his eyes staring at the restaurant. It seems that the small restaurant can be opened and it can be so big, all because of his own son who is not welcome by him, but if his son has such great ability, how could he have made any noise in the first place? not exposed.

    The more Master Chen thought about it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and finally there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes. His son-in-law obviously has such great ability. He used to be unremarkable, but now he is out of the Chen family. It is obviously because he is clumsy and does not want to give those skills to the Chen family.

    Thinking of the benefits that Chen Xing could get if he gave Chen Xing’s skills to the Chen family, and then looking at the cheap outsiders at this time, Master Chen’s face became more and more ugly, staring at The eyes of the small restaurant in the distance that were no longer picking up customers because of the full crowd became more and more bad.

    “Come on, let’s go back!” He had to think long-term. Since Chen Xing was raised by their Chen family, there is no reason why he knows things that are cheaper than others.

    When Mr. Chen left, he took one last look at the booming restaurant with a look of determination.

    In the garden of Chen Mansion.

    Mrs. Chen looked at her with helplessness in her eyes, but she still touched her head and coaxed softly: “Linger, we are here for your own good, so Mr. Zhao has What’s wrong, if you marry him and become his wife, you will have a good life.”

    “I don’t…” Chen Linger took Mrs. Chen’s hand, she didn’t understand how the mother who let go of her last time was relenting and let her marry that lecher. ,

      , he can’t hear it at all. Mother, how can I marry such a man! Isn’t this ruining my life?”

    Mrs. Chen listened to Chen Linger’s cry, her head was getting big, she didn’t care about her daughter, she also felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, but she couldn’t ignore the Chen family. If the Chen family can become in-laws with the Zhao family, then they will naturally get some benefits, and her status as the Chen family’s wife will naturally rise with the tide.

    Thinking of the benefits that the Chen family can get, and thinking about what Master Chen said to herself last time, Mrs. Chen’s heart gradually hardened, and the eyes she looked at Chen Linger gradually became firmer, His tone was also a little hard, “Linger, it’s not that my mother doesn’t feel sorry for you, it’s just that this matter is not something that my mother can decide.”

    Chen Linger did not expect that she would hear these words from her mother, raised her head and looked at her in disbelief, her red and swollen but somewhat clear eyes were full of disbelief “Mother, what do you mean by that?”

    The unbelief in Chen Linger’s eyes made Mrs. Chen feel a little uncomfortable, but she still looked at her and insisted: “Your father has decided to marry the Zhao family, if you say now If you don’t agree, he will definitely not agree.”

      marriage. Her lips trembled as she looked at her mother and asked, “Mother, don’t you think about my future?”

    Mrs. Chen listened to her daughter’s questioning, and gradually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. They had already thought about her so well, and she was still here to blame them for not considering her In the future, his tone became a little colder when he spoke again.

    “Linger, that Zhao family is now the number one family in this county, who doesn’t give his family a little face, if you marry into their family, they will naturally not treat you badly. If you If you don’t marry, some noble daughters from other families want to marry in. Just born in a family like ours, you should understand the importance of marrying and choosing a husband, and that this is not something you can do willfully. If you insist on not marrying, when the time comes You can’t get past your father. And what kind of person you can marry next time is hard to say.”

    Hearing this, Chen Linger looked at her mother’s expressionless face, and gradually realized that compared to the prosperity of their Chen family, what her daughter was thinking was completely unimportant, important. It is enough that her marriage can bring benefits to the Chen family. She bit her lower lip, staring at her mother for a long time without saying a word.

    Mrs. Chen looked at her stubborn daughter and her beautiful face, her heart softened a little, she gently stroked Chen Linger’s face and said softly: “Linger” Son, I’m your mother, and I won’t hurt you. It’s not about your looks when you get married. As long as he can treat you well in the future and make you feel comfortable in the Zhao family, that’s not enough. “

    Chen Linger pursed her lips and did not speak.

    Mrs. Chen saw Chen Linger like this, so she stopped talking, just told her to think about it and left.

    After Mrs. Chen left, Chen Linger sat down on the stone bench and lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking. After she thought about it for a while, she suddenly thought of something, stood up from the stone bench again, then turned around and ran towards Master Chen’s study.

    Chen Linger felt that she couldn’t accept her fate like this. She had to ask the father, who always advertised as loving her, if there was no other way to help the Chen family.

      You are going there! Miss, wait for me!”

    Chen Ling’er ran to her father’s favorite yard, looking at the study not far away, her indignant expression turned into hesitation. She ran here just now with one breath, but she was really about to go in, and she didn’t know what to say.

    Just as Chen Linger was standing there hesitating whether to go in, the little maid who was chasing her had already caught up with her, looked at her and said helplessly: “Miss, why are you running so fast? , I can’t catch up with you.”

    The little girl’s voice made the hesitant Chen Linger come back to her senses, she turned to look at the panting little girl behind her, her eyes became cold, “You wait for me here, I’ll look for it. my dad.”

    “Miss, what are you looking for with the master?” The little girl heard her lady’s instructions, her face was full of confusion, and she didn’t seem to understand very well.

    Chen Linger explained impatiently, looked at her irritably, and threatened: “Are you a young lady, or I am a young lady. Just wait here, and give I shut my mouth obediently, if you dare to hurt me, I will definitely cut your tongue.”

    Chen Linger looked at her terrified look, and was completely satisfied. She straightened her skirt, sorted out how to speak, and slowly touched the door of the study.

    During Chen Linger’s journey, she never met the servants she was guarding. Although it was a bit strange, she didn’t take it seriously. The lazy guy went down and was lazy.

    So, when Chen Linger was standing outside Master Chen’s study, facing the closed door, struggling to knock on the door, when she heard her father’s deep, angry voice inside, she still He was stunned for a moment, and some did not respond.

    “What you say is true?!”

    “The little one didn’t dare to lie to the master, the little one observed there for a day, and the little one dared to use his life to guarantee that the small restaurant’s income in a day would be at least more than a dozen taels.”

      It’s all quantitative, and it’s gone when it’s sold out. All these things add up to a lot of money.

    Chen Linger heard the voices of conversation inside, didn’t know what to think, neither left nor knocked on the door to enter, but put her ear quietly on it, wanting to hear the voice inside clearly .

    “Then have you found out what their desserts and fruit wine are made of, and what is the price?”

    “I don’t know, but I found out that the owner of the small restaurant would regularly buy a lot of pork skin and fish skin, but those things did not appear on the menu of the restaurant, Therefore, I dare to infer that the making of the dessert requires this fish skin, but it is just how it is made, so I can’t find out.”

    After I don’t know who said this, there was no movement inside for a long time.

    Chen Linger controlled the force that would not push the door open, and tried her best to close her ears, wanting to continue listening to what was going on.

    “I know, you have given me a good look at the Chen family restaurant these few days, how many customers come in every day, how long the door is open, and how many things they buy Remember everything and tell me.”

    “Yes.”

    After saying these two sentences, the two whispered a few other words, but the voice was so low that Chen Linger at the door couldn’t hear what was said.

    Until the unfamiliar male voice said goodbye and walked towards the door, Chen Linger ran away with a guilty conscience.

    until she ran back to her yard and sat in the room, Chen Linger almost forgot what she was going to do to find Father Chen just now, just thinking about how the small restaurant they mentioned was about Why did her father look so nervous.

    Just as Chen Linger frowned and thought, the little maid next to her cautiously came over and asked softly, “Why are you so worried?”

      “

    The little maid didn’t react when she heard the lady’s words, just nodded seriously, “I know! That small restaurant is not the one that often buys jelly for the lady, of course the servant knows! “

    Chen Linger frowned when she heard what she said, thinking of her father’s attention to the store, she felt that there should be something else, so she continued to ask: “Is there anything special about that store? The place?”

      of.”

    Chen Xing felt that today’s harvest was too unexpected for them. Originally, he thought that on the first day of reopening, if there were 15 tables of guests, it would be good, but he did not expect not only 30 tables. The shares were all full, and even more came and they couldn’t entertain. Although it was hard work, his mood was extraordinarily excited!

    So, Chen Xing stood in front of everyone and announced excitedly: “Everyone has worked hard today, and by the end of the month, I will give everyone in the store a big red envelope!”
