Border Cook

Chapter 291 Want to be a good person

"By the way, tell me when you go to buy it, and bring an extra portion of the roast duck pancake. I like to put less duck meat on each pancake. The duck rack should be seasoned with salt and pepper, and add more small glutinous rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice. It tastes delicious."

"Oh, oh, have someone put this note on the table at home. Don't wait until my stupid apprentice returns home and can't find me and then reports to the authorities. That would cause a lot of trouble."

"Also, these are all mine. If you want to eat more, go buy some for yourselves. Don't steal my portion!"

"And there's more..."

After giving all the instructions, Cen Ying walked out of the room somewhat woodenly, handed the two pieces of paper in her hand to the two people, and asked them to do the corresponding tasks respectively to save some time.

“This…” The man who got Yin Lingyou’s prescription scratched his ear, “This isn’t a prescription either.”

Yin Lingyou's angry voice came from across the room, "Of course it's not! It's a good remedy for starvation! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Cen Ying, "..."

Everyone, "..."

What you said seems to make some sense.

The other person who received the note wanted to ask what Qingtuan was when he saw the words "When going out for medical treatment, please look out for Qingtuan" written on it, but he closed his mouth when he saw it.

People with excellent medical skills always have their own preferences, so understand!
Everyone went their separate ways.

Night falls and gradually becomes darker.

Jiang Zhuguo prepared all the ingredients, and Xia Mingyue started making the green rice dumplings after she came back from Buyun Tower. After Mao Sanli stopped laughing, she handed all the green rice dumplings to him.

At this time, Mao Sanli's tears had dried up and his stomach was aching.

After having a bowl of hot rice porridge with red dates at Xia Mingyue's house and eating one, two, three, four, five or six steamed buns with tofu and spinach cooked with jiangzhuguo, he carried the plate back with some difficulty.

Because the amount of mugwort that Jiang Zhuguo brought back was limited, even though Xia Mingyue tried her best to utilize the ingredients, she still only made eight green dumplings.

Mao Sanli looked at the hard-earned Qingtuan and returned home very carefully.

The house was empty except for a note placed on a cup on the stone table in the yard.

In the bright and clear moonlight, Mao Sanli saw the words written on it clearly and breathed a sigh of relief.

The master had gone out to see patients, and was still worried about the green rice dumplings he hadn't eaten yet. Fortunately, he asked Madam Xia to make some, otherwise when the master came back and didn't see the green rice dumplings, he would probably get angry again.

But having said that, the master has been refusing to see patients recently and didn't even want to see the patients who came to his door. It's really rare that he was willing to go out and see patients this time.

and……

When the master went out, he was facing these eight fragrant green dumplings alone. Why did he feel so dangerous?
woo woo woo woo.

He really wants to be a good person.

Buyunlou's business has been booming since its opening, with the place always packed with guests and bustling with activity.

The dishes are diverse, delicious, and reasonably priced. In addition, the consumption levels on the first to fourth floors of Buyun Tower are different. Whether you want a meal that costs five cents of silver or ten taels of silver, your request can be satisfied.

The most important thing is that Buyunlou started to offer smiling service at Xia Mingyue's suggestion. No matter how much the diners spent, the waiters of Buyunlou always greeted them with a smile and were extremely enthusiastic, making all the guests who entered Buyunlou feel at home. In just a few days, people in the entire Jinqiu County had already regarded Buyunlou as the inevitable choice for entertaining guests.

none of them.

Seeing this, Zou Fuquan gritted his teeth again.

He had thought that Buyun Tower's business would be a threat to Yueran Restaurant, but he did not expect that Buyun Tower's business would be so good.

If Yue Ran Restaurant still had some business every day before and was able to break even, after the opening of Buyun Tower, the business of Yue Ran Restaurant can be described as deserted, and it has directly reached the point where its income is not enough to cover its expenses.

With such continuous losses day after day, his job as the restaurant's manager is really over!
We must think of a way to snatch the business of Yueran Restaurant from Buyunlou!
Zou Fuquan frowned and immediately called his capable waiter to his side and had him put the latest sign of Yueran Restaurant at the door.

All dishes at Yue Ran Restaurant are 20% off for a limited time!
The words on the water sign were large and shiny, attracting many people to stop and watch.

But they just watched for a while, and then walked into the Buyun Tower diagonally opposite in twos and threes.

This scene made Zou Fuquan even more angry, so he simply changed the 20% limited-time discount on the sign to a 30% limited-time discount on the second day!

Regardless of the reputation, people’s memory is limited. As long as the actual price is cheap enough, they will come!

When such a sign was placed at the door, it attracted more people to watch.

This time, they stayed a little longer, whispering and discussing.

"It is said that you get what you pay for. What is the purpose of Yue Ran Restaurant lowering its prices like this?"

"Of course they are trying to attract business, but the price is so low, and considering the nature of Yue Ran Restaurant, I'm afraid they are not sincere enough. The portions of the dishes may not be enough."

“Maybe even the food isn’t fresh!”

"To me, these are not a big deal. The main thing is that if the price is so cheap, I'm afraid that if I treat people to drinks and meals, they will accuse me of being cheap behind my back. This reputation is too bad!"

"It's so hard to come out and have a good meal, so don't be so fussy about the money. Besides, the food at Buyunlou is delicious and cheap. Even if there's a 30% discount here, the food they sell may not be as delicious as the one at Buyunlou."

"That's what happened..."

As a result, there are still few customers visiting Yueran Restaurant.

Most people who have lived in Jinqiu County for many years and know about Yueran Restaurant's past would not go there. Occasionally, there are those who come into the city and want to have a good time. Before they even enter Yueran Restaurant, some people will start to dissuade them. After some persuasion, they will go to Buyun Tower.

Two days later, some customers finally arrived at the Yueran Restaurant.

But these guests were all ragged, unkempt, holding wooden sticks or cracked coarse porcelain bowls in their hands. There were more than ten of them, looking like beggars, and they walked into Yueran Restaurant.

The waiter at Yueran Restaurant naturally reached out to stop him, "Go away, beg for food somewhere else!"

"Begging?" The leading beggar lifted his hair that had fallen to his forehead and was covered with thick mud, and said with disdain, "I'm not begging today, I'm here to eat!"

"Eat?" The waiter looked disdainful. "Can you afford to pay?"

"I have plenty of money!" The leading beggar took out a heavy purse, took out a silver ingot from it and threw it to the waiter.
