Leftover Girl's Neverland

Chapter 14

Li Sihai opened a restaurant in the urban area, but because there were no signature dishes and not many regular customers, the business was good and bad.After this year, the business has been even worse. Vegetable and meat prices have been rising, but it is not easy to adjust the price of the dishes in the restaurant.The business was not good in the first place, and most of the people who came to eat here came because of the cheap food here. If the price went up, there would definitely be none of the pitifully few regular customers.

The past few days have been cold in spring, and the Municipal Meteorological Bureau predicts that there will be rain and snow in the next few days. The vegetable vendor who often supplies him with vegetables called him yesterday and said that starting today, the prices of all vegetables will increase by [-]%.Damn, is it still making people die?Li Sihai shouted directly: "I don't want your food anymore, and I don't need you to send it from tomorrow!"

Without you butcher, would I still eat hairy pigs?He heard that there is a vegetable market in Liujiaji in the suburbs, and many vegetable vendors in the urban area buy their vegetables there.Although far away, the price is cheap and the dishes are fresh.

So, he got up early today and drove all the way in his old van.

After looking at a few of them, they were similar to the ones provided by vegetable vendors, but the prices were [-] cents to [-] cents cheaper per catty. The larger the quantity, the more suitable it was than buying in the urban area, so he began to compare carefully.

After Meng Zhen saw off the first customer, people began to come to buy vegetables one after another.Although it was a bit strange for her to sell the dishes individually, everyone who came to the stall did not leave empty-handed after seeing the dishes were good.Seeing that there were not many vegetables left in the box, she began to plan to go to the motor vehicle market in the north when the vegetables were sold out. Since selling vegetables would be indispensable in the future, she definitely couldn't keep borrowing cars.Just buy an electric tricycle, it doesn't have to be too good, a second-hand one will do.She still has more than 800 yuan in her hand, and now she sells vegetables for more than 200 yuan, and about one-third of the vegetables are still available, and she can sell them for more than 100 yuan.

"Boss, how do you sell this dish?"

Li Sihai stood in front of Meng Zhen's booth, picked up a tomato and asked.

"Oh, tomatoes are ten yuan and six, eggplants are ten yuan and eight, and peppers are ten yuan and eight!"

"Boss, your food is quite expensive. It costs more than 1 yuan per catty than others." Li Sihai weighed each dish and roughly estimated the price of a catty of vegetables. Tomatoes are five yuan per catty, and eggplants are three yuan more. The most expensive pepper is more than six yuan per catty.

This morning, every time Meng Zhen quoted the price of vegetables, the first reaction of ordinary customers was how to sell them by size.But the man in his 30s in front of him didn't get entangled in this issue, but calculated the vegetable price she set at that time like an expert.

"Brother, it seems that you are an expert. The price is a bit more expensive than the ones on the market, but you get what you pay for. These vegetables are all grown by myself. They are pure green vegetables that are absolutely pollution-free and harmless."

Speaking of asking him to taste the freshly chopped tomatoes, just now, in order to convince others, she asked the tofu seller next to him to borrow a knife and cut a tomato. She would let everyone taste it if they had any doubts.Generally, people who have eaten will not say much, and directly ask for the amount they need.

Li Sihai took a petal, tasted it, and it tasted really good.It is said that the tomatoes on the market are basically greenhouses. Greenhouse vegetables look fresh, but they lack the natural ripe taste.The girl's dish in front of me tasted naturally cooked, not like it was ripened and red.

Look at the eggplants again, each of them is juicy and juicy. When you pinch it lightly, it is not soft, and the color looks fresh, purple and shiny.The peppers are also good, each as big as a fist.

"Boss, the food is good, but it's too expensive. I want all of your dishes. Let's count it as a discount. To tell you the truth, I open a restaurant in the urban area. If the food is really good, we can buy it for a long time in the future." Let's cooperate!"

Meng Zhen thought about the leftover vegetables and said, "That's fine, I just have these leftovers. If you want them all, I'll give you one hundred and fifty."

As she spoke, she took out all the vegetables in the basket and put them on the table: "You can count them, only a few more!"

Li Sihai counted them with his eyes, um, quite a lot, "Succeed, seeing that the boss is a straightforward person, I won't count anymore. Just count as you said, one hundred and fifty!"

After negotiating the price, Meng Zhen packed all the vegetables for him, collected the money, and watched him leave with the vegetables.He turned around and packed up his stall, stacked three empty frames and put them in the tricycle behind him, stuffed cotton sheets and tablecloths into the cart, bought a piece of tofu at the tofu stand next to him, and pushed the cart away.

Meng Zhen came out of the vegetable market, turned to the corner, put the car into the manor first, and took a look at how Xiong Xiong was doing.Entering the manor, Meng Zhen was a little surprised when he saw it: he saw a big tomato in his arms and kept licking it, while the dog food she put in only moved a few mouthfuls.What's going on, Xiong Xiong is only over a month old, how can he pick vegetables by himself?When she came to the red land and saw the tomatoes falling on the ground, she realized that in some places she was not picking them in time, the persimmons were overripe and fell by themselves, and some of the mouths were cracked.I said, I thought she had a strange dog.

She patted Xiong Xiong's head, Xiong Xiong just "hummed" twice, and did not raise his head to continue licking.Meng Zhen sat on the hanging chair and began to count the money for selling vegetables today.After counting the large and small banknotes in the bag, there is actually 380 yuan?Unexpectedly, it is simply more than what I earn at work in a day.According to this momentum, she can stop going to work at all.You don't need too much every day, just pick a few baskets and sell them, and you can earn three or four hundred a day.Ho Ho, you can earn more than [-] yuan in a month.

But she just thought about it. After all, the manor was just a dreamy miracle to her. She didn't know how it came about, so she couldn't be sure how long it would last.Therefore, it is my mother's blessing to be able to use it to make money now, and the job cannot be lost at all.

After counting the money, she drank some water by the pool to wash her face, and then she came out of the manor.It's past ten o'clock now, and she still has a lot of things to buy.Let's buy an electronic scale first, and we can't talk about size when selling vegetables in the future. She doesn't know steelyards, so she can only choose electronic scales.I bought an electronic scale for [-] yuan, went to the fresh food market, bought a few catties of pork ribs, and asked the boss to chop them up and divide them into two equal parts: eat half for myself, and give half to Aunt Meng.Borrowing someone else's car can't be for nothing.Finally, I came to the motor vehicle market. After bargaining, I bought a second-hand electric tricycle that was probably new for [-] yuan.

Meng Zhen bought good things, put the small things in the cart, and then left Liujiaji.She didn't know that after she left, Mrs. Song returned to the market excitedly. Looking at the empty stalls, she asked the owner next to her. The owner of the tofu stall said enviously that the girl was sold out and had gone back a long time ago.Alas, the old lady sighed, it can only be tomorrow.She didn't expect her family to like it so much.

When she got home just now, she washed a tomato and ate it raw because she was thirsty.After eating one persimmon, it was like an addiction. After eating three in a row, my wife saw that her food was delicious and sweet, so he ate it too.As a result, before cooking, half of the dozen persimmons were gone.The son who opened the fish pond came home to pick up something, and saw two old men holding tomatoes and eating them raw, so he took one out of curiosity. When he returned to his fish pond, the tomatoes at home were gone.

Having not eaten such a good dish for a long time, the old lady thought that maybe the girl hadn't left yet, so she rushed back in a hurry, but she was late and there was only one empty seat left.Speak from the heart, come early tomorrow, buy more, and give those old sisters a taste.

When approaching Zhoujiazhuang, she parked on the side of the road where no one was around, changed the car, and carried Xiong Xiong out by the way.As a result, people were still not happy and struggled to get down.

Put Xiong Xiong in the car bucket, hang the ribs on the handlebar, and Meng Zhen went home all the way.

Downtown, Universal Restaurant.

Li Sihai's father sat in a private room with a fat old man and chatted, secretly cursing his son: I told him the day before yesterday that today he invited the chef from Minghuju and asked him to cook Get ready and see if you can ask the chef to recruit the fulcrum.It turned out that people finally came, and this dead child actually ran to buy vegetables.No one can do the grocery shopping, he has to go by himself, he thought the chef was so idle, if he hadn't saved the chef once when he was young, according to his current level, the small restaurant of his own would not cost much money. Come.

While complaining, Li Sihai rushed in and told the waiter at the door: "Go to the kitchen and call two people to bring the vegetables in my car."

Then he walked quickly to his father and apologized to the two old people: "Master Zhao, I'm really sorry, just now I went to Liujiaji to buy vegetables, and there was a traffic jam in the urban area, I came back late, you must have waited for a long time. "

"It's okay. For restaurants, only good ingredients can make good dishes. Come on, Xiao Li, tell me, what special dishes do you have here?"

Chef Zhao looks like he is in his 60s. He should pay attention to maintenance. He is a little fat, but not bloated.

"Well, alas, Master Zhao, I'm a little ashamed to say it. This restaurant was a Sichuan restaurant when I first took over. After I took over, I also cooked Sichuan cuisine for a while. But we northerners can't eat such spicy food all the time. Later, I changed to a cook from the Northeast, so I started to cook Northeast dishes. Now the more popular ones are: chicken stewed with mushrooms, ground three delicacies, and Northeast random stew.”

"That's not okay, Xiao Li. A restaurant can't just do what others do, it has to have its own characteristics. How about this, I'll go to the kitchen with you to have a look!"
