Border Cook

Chapter 292 Dogs look down on people

The waiter took it, looked at the silver in his hand, and then took a bite.

Yes, it is silver!

And this piece is quite large, weighing about three or four taels.

When the beggar opened his purse, he took a closer look and saw that there were still a lot of dollars in it.

These are indeed enough for more than ten people to have a feast here.

Yueran Restaurant has not had any business for many days, so a deal like this is very significant.

But the question is, if they let beggars in, what would happen to Yueran Restaurant?

The waiter was unsure and hurried upstairs to ask Zou Fuquan for instructions.

Zou Fuquan glared when he heard this, "Drive these people out!"

Since when did beggars have money to eat in restaurants?

This must be Buyunlou's evil idea, to avenge the last time they sent people to cause trouble for Xia Ji.

We must drive them away quickly!
Although the clerk felt sorry for losing the silver, he naturally did as the shopkeeper told him to do. He went downstairs to return the silver and chase the man away.

The beggars were naturally very dissatisfied.

"When you open your door for business, you welcome customers from all directions. Why don't you do business with us when we come here to eat?"

"That's right, you guys at Yueran Restaurant are just looking down on others, aren't you?"

"I'm getting stubborn now. The more you don't let me eat here, the more I want to eat here. Brothers, sit tight. If you don't let us eat today, we won't leave!"

"..."

After a lot of noise, the beggars also lost their temper and refused to leave, occupying the entire first floor lobby.

There were even two people guarding the door, staring at the people coming and going.

The stare was so intense that passers-by on the road were frightened and subconsciously tried to stay away from Yueran Restaurant as much as possible.

Occasionally, one or two people would come to Yueran Restaurant to enjoy a cheap meal because of the 40% discount. However, when they entered, they saw beggars sitting sparsely in the lobby and the smell emanating from their bodies was indescribable. In the end, they gave up their decision and fled.

This made Zou Fuquan so angry that he ordered his subordinates to drive them away violently.

Those beggars usually walk on the streets and have acquired many skills through hard work. Now they were not willing to be outdone and directly fought with the guys from Yueran Restaurant.

The lobby of Yueran Restaurant was suddenly in a mess.

A passerby saw the chaos and reported it to the government.

The yamen runners arrived quickly and took everyone to the county government office.

And the next day, the county government gave the results.

When the guest entered the restaurant to eat, he clearly stated the money he had on him beforehand, so it was obvious that he had no intention of causing trouble. His behavior was upright and beyond reproach.

On the contrary, it was Yue Ran Restaurant that made malicious speculations, provoked trouble, and even let its waiters hurt people. This was totally wrong. Yue Ran Restaurant should bear all its own losses and pay for everyone's medical expenses.

As soon as this notice was issued, people throughout Jinqiu County began to talk about it.

"This Yueran Restaurant is looking down on people, they deserve it!" "They've paid for it, it's not like they're eating and drinking for free, why shouldn't they let them eat!"

"This Yue Ran Restaurant used to have eyes that grew to the top of its head, and it used its eyelids to pinch people, but now it has finally fallen flat on its face!"

Most of the people are ordinary people. When they go out, they will encounter those weird waiters and shopkeepers who look at people with squinting eyes. What annoys them most are those people who serve people based on the dishes they receive. At this moment, they can't help but be filled with righteous indignation and start to criticize.

While they were discussing this, the beggars came again and wanted to have dinner at Yueran Restaurant.

With the previous lesson, Zou Fuquan didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, letting the waiter treat the beggars to a meal as usual.

The news spread all over the streets again.

Those ordinary people who had originally attacked Yue Ran Restaurant no longer said anything, and just kept saying that Yue Ran Restaurant had finally learned its lesson. And those wealthy families who used to often bring some food from Yue Ran Restaurant, from then on, only sent their servants to Buyun Tower and never set foot in Yue Ran Restaurant again.

One of the reasons is that the food in Buyun Tower is more delicious.

Secondly, Yueran Restaurant is now a place where beggars go to eat. After all, they are well-known people in Jinqiu County. When did they fall to the point of having to eat in the same restaurant with beggars?

Shame!

This made the already depressed Yue Ran Restaurant even more deserted in a short period of time. At the end of the day, there were not even two tables of business.

Faced with this situation, Zou Fuquan gritted his teeth again.

Business people in Jinqiu County all sighed when they saw that Yueran Restaurant had declined to such an extent in such a short period of time.

I really didn't expect that Zou Fuquan is actually a bristleless brush.

I don't even have two tricks left.

In the past, Yue Ran Restaurant was doing a booming business. No matter what business one was doing in the county, after seeing the business of Yue Ran Restaurant, they would all praise it, envy it, and even admire Zou Fuquan.

I admire him for being able to make such a profitable business.

Now thinking about it, it was just a matter of catching the right time and doing the right business at the right time.

It really is true that if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.

Now, if there is even the slightest disturbance, the shiny surface will be quickly broken, and the rottenness inside will collapse in an instant with a devastating force, completely shattering into ashes.

It seems that this kind of wealth gained by luck is only short-term. If you want to keep it stable, you still have to do the business at hand well and make your own business have the ability to withstand wind and rain.

There were discussions about Yueran Restaurant everywhere, but Xia Mingyue and Manager Ge paid no attention to them. Instead, they were busy improving the interior decoration and layout of the private rooms in Buyun Tower, looking for deficiencies in the connection between the restaurant's back kitchen and the front hall, and serving new dishes.

As the weather gets warmer, Xia Mingyue suggests serving some refreshing and delicious dishes.

For example, fresh and plump river shrimp caught in spring are fried and then cooked with tender leeks to make leek-braised river shrimp.

It is suitable for consumption in dry weather. It is stewed with fermented bean curd juice, soy sauce, pepper, salt, onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, etc., and finally thickened with rock sugar. It tastes mellow and rich, with a little sweetness. The more you eat it, the more delicious it tastes.

The pepper pork belly soup is spicy and appetizing, not greasy, and you can finish two or three bowls in one go.

The grilled lamb skewers are a good way to satisfy people's drinking and chatting at night, drinking in large bowls, eating meat in big mouthfuls, and the more you eat, the more mellow and delicious it becomes, leaving you with an endless aftertaste...

Manager Ge had almost no hesitation in accepting all the new dishes proposed by Xia Mingyue.

There’s nothing we can do about it, since Madam Xia’s new dishes are all so delicious that no matter what she cooks, it will definitely become a signature dish of Buyun Tower!

Shopkeeper Ge increasingly felt that cooperating with Xia Mingyue to open a restaurant was a wise move!
