After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 121 Grabbing Business 【Two in One】

Zhang Xiuhua looked at the talented Shao Ming. She was also quite jealous of Gu Lianhua. She even secretly thought that although Gu Lianhua was younger than her, Gu Lianhua was not as beautiful as her. If she could hook up with Shao Ming...

But soon she didn't have time to think about it, because... there was too much work!

Gu Lianhua was just like a shopkeeper who threw away her hands. The two young men she saw in the morning were nowhere to be seen this time. Gu Hui and Zhang Xiuhua were the only workers in the huge Shaoji Restaurant.

After all, Gu Hui came to help her daughter, so she couldn't just do nothing.But she was used to sneaking around for so many years and didn't do much work herself, and she still felt that Zhang Xiuhua was hired by them with money, so all the burden of the store fell on Zhang Xiuhua all at once.

Zhang Xiuhua was so tired that she was about to greet their eighteenth generation ancestors, but now the family had to save money, she had no connections as a woman, and the two of them were not very popular in the village...

Forget it, that is to say, after a period of hardship, the food is still taken care of here, and all the monthly money can be saved for a month.

If she worked hard and worked hard, she believed that no matter what, Gu Lianhua would have to give her some extra money to save face.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuhua gritted her teeth and persisted in her work.One person is about to transform into three or four people.She cooks the rice, cooks the fire, cuts the vegetables, cooks the vegetables, and washes the dishes.

As for what Gu Hui was doing?Washing vegetables, boiling water, serving dishes, cleaning tables outside, and greeting guests.

She is soft-spoken when eating people and soft-handed when taking people. She, Zhang Xiuhua, tolerated this tone first.

Gu Lianhua and Gu Hui were glamorous outside, while Gu Lianhua was disheveled behind her back.

"Parents, fathers and folks who pass by, come in and have a seat and taste!" Gu Lianhua mustered up her courage and shouted at the door.

Her voice can be regarded as being in charge, and the people walking on the road all looked at her in an instant.

Seeing everyone looking over, Gu Lianhua continued to speak.

"In order to give back to new and old customers, Xiji Restaurant has invited chefs who were taught by the same master as Qingpei Pavilion. We can also cook the taste that Qingpei Pavilion can cook, and the price is definitely more affordable than Qingpei Pavilion. Whether you are a poor man or a rich businessman, you can afford it in our house! Everyone, come and taste it, if the taste is different from Qingpei Pavilion, we don’t need money!"

Make up nonsense at the top of your voice, don't care if it's delicious or not, don't care if it will cause problems, as long as you enter this door, don't even think about going out without spending money.

"Is the price really affordable?"

"The taste is really the same as Qing Pei Ge?"

someone in the crowd asked.

When Gu Lianhua heard someone asking her, she became even more excited, and said big things without money.

"Yes, Qingpei Pavilion sells [-] Wen dishes, and our family only sells [-] Wen!"

"Is this true?" The crowd cried out in surprise.

According to the quotation of this Xiji restaurant, it is equivalent to half the price of Qingpei Pavilion.Although this Xiji restaurant is separated from Qingpei Pavilion by some distance, it is still on the same street after all, and the customer groups can be said to be highly overlapping.

"Yes! Don't ask me why it's so cheap!" Gu Lianhua shouted hoarsely, "The question is that we only want to bring benefits to the villagers, and we will never earn a penny from everyone! We only charge a cost price, even... …Even we would rather lose money than benefit everyone!!”

Gu Lianhua almost believed what she said.

And at this time, the old lady who Gu Lianhua implemented that day also stood up and proved for Gu Lianhua.

"Everyone listen to what my old lady said. That day when there were no customers in the Xiji restaurant, this little girl saw that I was a poor old lady, so she just gave me a plate full of freshly fried dishes. Isn't this kindness? What is it? Kind girl, you will be rewarded!"

The old lady took the dish home, and her little granddaughter ate more than half of it, and she ate the remaining few bites.I didn't wait for the dishes to stay overnight or completely cool down, so I couldn't see any clues.

But the only fly in the ointment is that both grandparents and grandchildren have diarrhea for a day.The old lady adhered to the principle of finding the cause of the problem first from herself, and attributed it to the fact that she and her granddaughter had not eaten such a large amount of oil and water for a long time, and their stomachs were not suitable.She didn't think about whether there was something wrong with the food at all.

The old lady has been here for a long time, and everyone basically knows her situation.Hearing what she said now, she believed in Gu Lianhua's words even more.

Their eyes widened and their eyes looked at each other.His eyes were full of disbelief, my God, there are really such good people in this world!It is simply a living Bodhisattva in the world!
What a blessing for them to meet such a conscientious little boss!

Then, someone from the crowd took the lead and rushed into the Xie Kee restaurant and started ordering food.Gu Hui and Gu Lianhua hurriedly went to work, but Zhang Xiuhua was really busy, she couldn't get out of the kitchen at the back.

She felt that this day was going to finish all the dishes in her life.

When someone asked to try the roast duck, Gu Hui hurried into the kitchen to roast it for them.Gu Lianhua is responsible for cooking for others, which is considered the easiest job in the house.

I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic, there were too many guests, Gu Lianhua and Gu Hui were not enough for a while.But I can't call out Zhang Xiuhua from the back kitchen, otherwise who will cook...

So, Gu Lianhua spoke again to calm everyone's emotions.

"The place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me. In order to minimize the cost and give everyone the most favorable price, we did not hire anyone. The total is my mother, my neighbor and I. busy here."

"We understand! It's okay, little boss!" The people in the crowd responded to Gu Lianhua's words.

For them, there is nothing wrong with waiting a little longer, as long as the price is right.Even in Qingpei Pavilion, you have to wait in line to catch up with the meal.

Looking at the full shop, Gu Lianhua and Gu Hui both showed satisfied smiles.

For vegetables and meat, she always picks up the last ones, and the oil is even cheaper, rounding it up is almost equivalent to no money.The restaurant is also ready-made. As for the early stage, Shao Ming also agreed not to share it. As long as she can open the restaurant's business, the money should be paid for her hard work.

Now the biggest expense of the entire restaurant is actually the wages paid to Zhang Xiuhua...

"Boss, your family's cooking skills are so good! I tasted this taste is even more fragrant than that of Qingpei Pavilion!" A diner gave Gu Lianhua and Gu Hui a thumbs up while eating.

His description is not wrong. According to the principle, cooking with used oil is indeed more fragrant than using new oil.

One is because the old oil already contains the taste of the previous cooking, and the other is because the oil will produce trans fatty acids after high temperature. The more times the oil is used, the higher the content of trans fatty acids will be. It will stimulate people's taste buds and tell the brain that this thing is really delicious.

Therefore, the number of times the oil can be used is limited, preferably not more than twice, so that it will not cause any harm to human health.Waste oil not only contains a lot of trans fatty acids, but also other carcinogens.

Excessive consumption of waste oil may cause poisoning in the short term, and may cause cancer in the long term.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiuhua is used to being poor, and he is reluctant to put too much oil in cooking, so the possibility of problems in the short term is relatively small.

"When my family eats happily, I will be happy!"

Gu Lianhua smiled slightly at the diner who praised her, but Gu Hui frowned.It's just that the business in the store is so good at the moment, she doesn't have time to ask Gu Lianhua, so she can only continue to work.

When all the customers in the shop left, Gu Hui didn't even care about the money, so she pulled Gu Lianhua aside and asked in a low voice.

"Lianhuaer, why are the things in our shop so cheap? Can this make money?" Gu Hui looked worried.

"Mom, didn't I just say that, we will charge everyone's cost price, first spread our reputation, and overwhelm Qing Peige in terms of momentum. Bring all the guests over first." Gu Lianhua said with confidence.

Gu Hui's face was full of disbelief, would her daughter really go into that money-losing business?How could she not believe it.

"Mother, don't think too much about it. Brother Shao Ming will take care of you. We will never lose money." Gu Lianhua prevaricated.

"Tell me the truth." Gu Hui looked serious.Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, the more Gu Lianhua avoided this topic, the more she felt that there was something wrong with it.

Unable to stand up to her own mother's questioning, Gu Lianhua finally told Gu Hui half-truthfully, but what she said was that she used the remaining oil from Qingpei Pavilion.

As soon as Gu Hui heard it, she felt her stomach tumbling, and her heart was even more panicked. She knew she would not eat in the morning, which made her greedy.But after the response, Gu Hui held Gu Lianhua's hand again, and asked nervously, "Lianhua, does anyone else know about this?"

"And the two boys sent by brother Shao." Gu Lianhua said indifferently.

Gu Hui frowned even more.

"Are they reliable? Forget it, forget it. Now that you know it, tell them not to tell anyone about it. Mother won't tell anyone about it. By the way, don't tell Zhang Xiuhua either."

"Mother, I understand everything, don't worry."

On this matter, the opinions of the mother and daughter are highly consistent, and there is almost no difference.

After Zhang Xiuhua finished her busy work in the back kitchen, she was not polite, so she added a dish for herself, and wolfed down a big bowl of rice.After she finished eating, she came out with the kettle and poured a glass of water for Gu Hui, mother and daughter, who were counting the copper coins.

"Sister Hui, Lianhua, you must be exhausted all morning. Drink some water first, and tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Gu Lianhua and Gu Huiniang, who knew the truth, rejected Zhang Xiuhua with one voice.

"Embroidery, you don't need to be busy. You have worked hard for a long time. Just take a rest and let's do it ourselves." Gu Hui said politely.

"Yeah, you must have been working hard for so long, you should take a rest." Gu Lianhua echoed.

Zhang Xiuhua was not polite to them either, she was really tired, thinking that there was still a "tough battle" to be fought at dinner, she was one head and two big.She is really going to be exhausted. For the sake of money and food, she should do it first.

After Zhang Xiuhua went to rest, after Gu Hui's mother and daughter counted the money, Gu Lianhua put all the money into her own pocket first, and said in a euphemistic way: "Mother, I will keep it first, and wait and see Shao I'll take back the rest after the distribution is over with my brother."

So many copper coins went into Gu Lianhua's pocket before they felt warm in Gu Hui's hands.But what Gu Lianhua said was quite reasonable, Gu Hui could only nod her head in agreement, but she was very envious in her heart.

At noon, Gu Qing found that the business of Qingpei Pavilion, which was full every day, didn't look very good today, and she didn't care much at first.After all, when opening a door to do business, it is normal to have ups and downs.But at night, she found that the store's turnover was only half of yesterday's.

Gu Qing immediately took her heart. Even if the money earned in the store is not the same every day, there is always a fixed range.This has suddenly decreased a lot, and anyone who changes it will start to find the reason.

It just so happened that Ms. Song came to Qingpei Pavilion at night. Gu Qing thought about it and asked her first. If Ms. Song didn't know, then she went out to find out what was going on.

As a result, when she asked, she immediately asked something.

As soon as Gu Qing opened her mouth, Miss Song immediately spoke.

"Miss Gu, I heard that Xieji Restaurant has invited your brother from the chef of Qingpeige to cook. The food they sell today is similar to yours, and the taste is almost the same, but..."

Ms. Song changed the subject and said in a low voice, "The price over there is almost half of your price! Today, many guests who originally planned to come to Qingpei Pavilion for dinner have gone over there."

Ms. Song shook her head while talking, she didn't seem to approve of that Xiji restaurant.

"The things you have here are all genuine materials. The taste, the weight, and the environment are worthy of the price. But at her price, why don't you sell them at a loss?" Miss Song said with a face of disapproval. .

Regardless of how hype the new fat boss said, and an old lady testified how kind she was, she just didn't believe it.

Ms. Song was born in a businessman, so she naturally knows how to do business.Those who come out to do business, if they don't want to make money, what are they looking for?No one is really willing to do business at a loss, right?
Such a person either has a brain problem or has ulterior motives.But between the two, Miss Song is more willing to believe in the latter.

At this time, there appeared a company not far from Qingpei Pavilion, whose products were highly identical to those of Qingpei Pavilion, and the most important thing was that the price was much lower than that of Qingpei Pavilion.This made it impossible for Gu Qing and the others to think too much, after all, it was too obvious.

Isn't this malicious competition?
Today, most of the people who come to Minqing Peige to eat are old customers, and most of them are used to Qingpeige. A restaurant with the same taste as Qingpeige suddenly popped up, and many people are still on the sidelines. attitude.In addition, there are still more varieties and dishes in Qingpei Pavilion, so there will not be no customers all of a sudden.

Hearing that Miss Song was defending Qingpei Pavilion, Gu Qing smiled gratefully.

"Don't worry too much, time will tell everything."

Really good things can stand the test of time, and those that violate the rules will eventually kill themselves.

Unless the owner of this restaurant has too much money and burns too much, and has nothing to do in his spare time, he opens a shop to pass the time, otherwise, the owner has ulterior motives!
　I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve. Is your New Year's Eve 23 or 24?The Xiaonian in my hometown is the day before New Year’s Eve. Our custom is to go to the ancestral grave to burn paper money for the ancestors on the day of the Xiaonian.
