It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 69

This is the morning of the leaves city, the weather is very good.

Li Datou always gets up very early, and the restaurant is diligent, so he has to prepare the ingredients for the day very early. As the shopkeeper of the Four Seas Tower, he naturally has to lead by example.

In fact, Li Datou didn't come from a good background, and even if he went from a young guy to the position of shopkeeper, it was always not so conspicuous. Later, he gave his sister to Su Sihai as a concubine. Everyone respected him on the surface, but what he said behind his back was a little unpleasant.

It wasn't until Su Sihai's original wife died and his younger sister became the principal room that his status rose.

Now that Su Sihai is seriously ill again, his body is not as good as the day, and the day is not as good as the day, only if Su Ying can be driven out of Ye Yecheng, then the Su family's wealth will be surnamed Li in the future.

In the future, I will be able to mix myself as an outside member, sit with the nobles in the city, eat flower wine, and brag.

Originally, things went very smoothly. Su Ying got a restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Seeing that there was no place for her in Fallen Leaf City.

But she somehow got a sum of money from somewhere to re-decorate the restaurant and reopen it today.

Open! Hmph, does a little girl know how to add water to wine, how to refill it, and how to deduct workers' wages!

"Little Er, go to the opposite side to borrow a few stools, and say that our business is very good today, and there are not enough stools, so let them borrow a few first."

"Then they probably won't lend it to us."

"It doesn't matter if you borrow or not, you just need to remember to say a word." Li Dafeng paused: "Tell them, you have no business anyway."

Gradually the sun rose to the middle, and at lunch time, the business of Sihailou these days was very good. The main reason is because of the chili, which is the only one in the world. If the nobles in the city want to eat it, they can only come to their own shop. Taking this opportunity, Li Datou also made friends with a group of well-known people, making him feel free and happy all day.

"Mister Zhang, please come inside, I'll be waiting for you early this morning."

A middle-aged man with a beard under his jaw walked into the Sihai Tower with a friend, and he waved his hand: "I want a private room and serve some of your specialty dishes, my friends from Waifu, but I'm running for you. It's from Sihailou."

With that said, Zhang Yuanwai turned around and said to his friend, "The chili peppers from Sihailou are a must. Although you have traveled far and wide and are well-informed, I guarantee that you have never tasted them."

"Ha, I've heard it before, is it true? Today, I have to hear it and see it."

"A few of you on the second floor, I'll have the kitchen ready immediately."

As the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he is always a little proud to hear the guests say this. At this time, the little Er on the side winked at him and pulled him to the back kitchen.

"What happened, didn't you see that I was busy!"

"Boss, there is something..."

"What's the matter, say, don't hesitate!"

"The peppers are gone."

"What's gone!" Li Datou heard clearly, but still asked.

The chili from Sihailou was originally brought back by Su Ying, and there were not many in total. It was used like gold, but it couldn't last long.

"The shopkeeper, think of a way. Many guests are coming for the peppers."

Cold sweat had already flowed down Li Datou's neck, and he scolded fiercely: "Little Niangpi, such a cruel heart!"

Then, he hurried to the box outside Member Zhang.

"Why, big head, the food is ready, and I have to ask you, the shopkeeper, to deliver it in person."

"This... that, Mr. Zhang, the shop has run out of chili peppers, do you want to change to another dish?"

"I've used it up... Ha, I understand. I've heard it all, this pepper is the only one for you in the world, so it's only sold to people with status, but you can't afford the money just by looking at me. , come up quickly, money is not a problem."

"It's true, it's really gone!" Li Datou.

Member Zhang frowned and his face was a little embarrassed. The people who hosted the banquet today were all old gluttons who came from far away, and they came here specially after listening to his boast. But now that they are here, they can't eat food, which makes them save face there.

"Oh, you Sihailou have done a good job!"

Member Zhang made a sound, but it made Li Da's head sweat like rain. He doesn't hate anything in his heart now, but only hates Su Ying. She must have already figured it out. First, use the chili pepper to lift the Sihai Tower.

What a cruel woman!

Zhang Yuanwei suddenly sniffed and smiled again on his face: "Ha, Li Datou, you are joking with me, isn't this the smell of chili peppers, and you want to fool me."

Li Datou also sniffed, and there was indeed the smell of chili peppers floating in the private room.

"This smell is not from our store?" Li Datou.

"Where would that come from?"

After speaking, Mr. Zhang stood up and gradually walked to the window. When he suddenly pushed the window, it was sunny and sunny outside. In the sunlight, a red signboard on the opposite street shone brightly.

That smell came from the opposite restaurant.

"Come on, brothers, let's go to the other side and have a look."

"Mr. Zhang, don't leave, we'll give you a taste of the vinegar fish that our restaurant specializes in."

Li Datou chased Zhang Yuanwai out of the elegant room, and suddenly found that the guests were leaving one after another. Little Er was so busy, but couldn't keep the guests.

These people all went to the opposite side. They came to the chili from Sihailou. Since there is no one here, they naturally went to the opposite side. And other guests don't really like to eat chili peppers, but people's curiosity is strange. Seeing so many people go, naturally they want to see the excitement.

In such a situation, Li Datou just watched the guests disappear, and he could not keep the guests with all his strength.

At the door, Baba could only watch these guests enter the restaurant opposite. Liao Yi at the door was dressed in black, like a black iron tower.

According to what Li Datou heard, it was called a security guard.

"Go, go, it's better to smash your shop."

Not long after, Xiaodie walked slowly from the opposite side and stood in front of Li Datou. The two used to work in the Su family and knew each other.

"Why!" Li Datou had a feeling that the visitor was not good.

"I'll borrow a few stools from you. Our store's business is so good that we don't have enough stools."

Li Datou sucked in a breath of cold air, and the little Er next to him lowered his head. These words were exactly what he said on the opposite side in the morning.

"I will never lend it to you!"

"If you don't borrow it, don't borrow it, so what are you doing so loudly?" Xiaodie pouted, "You don't have any business anyway."

"Uh..." With a sigh of relief, Datou Li's eyes darkened and he almost fell over. This is what he asked Xiao Er to say in the morning.
