The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

six o'clock in the morning.

Drip, drip, the water from the faucet is flowing. Zhang Tong washed his face directly with the cold tap water in late autumn.

"Aha~!" The chilling feeling instantly made Zhang Tong feel refreshed. It's not good if you're not energetic, today is the first day of opening, and he got up early to get ready.

Although you should be very familiar with opening a restaurant in another world before, but life changes are always ups and downs, and many times the things you are already familiar with will suddenly become different. This sudden change will always give people a sense of panic and uneasiness by surprise.

This store is the legacy left by Zhang Tong's parents, who bought it many years ago. At that time, housing prices in Huaihai City were not so ridiculously high. And at that time, this place was not so prosperous.

The storefront is about 50 square meters on one floor. This is a storefront for both commercial and residential purposes. The storefront downstairs is open, and people can live upstairs. However, the height of the upstairs is only about 2.4 meters, and it is a little bit aggrieved to live there.

The structure is a one bedroom and one living room design, and a one bedroom and one living room of 50 square meters is not bad. There is no need for a kitchen upstairs, just use the one downstairs, and there is a toilet upstairs. is the room is a bit simple.

But it would be nice to have a house to live in, since I returned from another world to be considered alone. [Homecoming Office] After reviewing his identity, he gave himself the name of the head of the house again, which can be regarded as a place to stay.

Back then, my family ran a small restaurant, but now at most I'm going back to my old business.

"Morning, Dad, morning, Mom." After washing, Zhang Tong came to the living room and said hello to the photo of his parents against the wall, then lit three sticks of incense and put them in the incense burner, then said, "It's breakfast."

"It's still good for you. Before I leave, I don't forget to leave a place for my son to shelter from the wind and rain. Otherwise, I will either wander on the street and become a street friend, or I will be cheated and robbed like those guys on TV. .But the level of those guys is too low, if it is me...hey forget it, it is really embarrassing for us returnees."

Zhang Tong said these words and bowed respectfully to the photos of his parents three times: "Don't worry, parents, your son will not go on an evil path. I will take good care of the home you left behind and find a wife to have a child." I'll show you when the time comes. My life has been spectacular enough, but it's just like this. It's better to come back, at least I can go to Ningbo to clean your graves and weed during the Qingming and Winter Solstice."

Ten years is both a long and short time. It is short enough to eat and wait for death before it has been consumed in a hurry, and it is long enough to change a person's life thinking.

After offering incense to his parents, Zhang Tong started to make his own breakfast. Breakfast is very simple, just white porridge with fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots last night.

The sweet rice porridge with rice in the fragrant glutinous rice was paired with the refreshing and salty fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots and pickles. Zhang Tong whetted his appetite and drank two large bowls of white porridge.

At 8:30 in the morning, the sign Zhang Tong ordered from the next street a few days ago also arrived. The master who installed the sign found Zhang Tong and asked, "Is it the boss, how do you plan to hang this sign?"

"Just hang it on the gate, just hang it on it." Zhang Tong greeted the worker master to hang the signboard that he ordered for hundreds of dollars on the position above the store door.

On the signboard with a white background, there is a line of black characters written in Xingkai: Lao Zhang's shop.

Do not laugh! This is the name that Zhang Tong came up with after holding back for three days and three nights. As a bad namer, Zhang Tong felt that he had worked very hard. At least it's easy to understand, right?

It’s already pretty good if you don’t ask Lao Zhang to eat it for you, okay?

Of course, Zhang Tong doesn't intend to only sell a certain kind of food in the small shop, but he can sell whatever dish he wants to cook according to his mood today. Now he wants a more free life, as long as the income from the small shop can meet the expenses.

Didn't the tall beauty say that yesterday? This store is worth at least tens of millions in Shanghai! Now I'm also a man worth tens of millions, okay? Money is just a number to me, okay?

"Master, it's cheaper. You have to charge 200 yuan to install such a simple sign. My sign only cost 400 yuan. It's too expensive for you to install it for 200 yuan!" Zhang Tong is bargaining with the master worker who came to install.

"Your store is so tall and the walls are so hard. It's very difficult for me to screw the expansion screws. I even drove it to you in a minivan. Two hundred yuan is really not expensive. Now all the workers in Huaihai work at this price. .” The dark-skinned worker master refused to lose money.

"Master, drink Coke." Zhang Tong took a bottle of Pepsi from the store and handed it to the worker, and at the same time said shyly, "It's cheaper. My small shop hasn't opened yet, so I don't have any income. Otherwise, look at it like this. If you come to my restaurant to eat in the future, I will give you a 20% discount."

"Boss, if we do business like you, our workers will starve to death." The master worker was almost amused by Zhang Tong.

"Sincerely, it's cheaper. Master, drink Coke, drink Coke." Zhang Tong helped open the Coke and kept urging people to drink Coke.

"Oh, I'm afraid of you. One hundred and eighty-five can't be less. I have other things to settle the bill quickly, and I have to start the next one." The master worker was taken a step back by Zhang Tong.

"Then one hundred and fifty." Zhang Tong made an inch of it.

"One hundred and five?" The worker master jumped up: "One hundred and five I will take off your signboard, I don't want a penny, you can pretend to be whoever you like."

In the end, after bargaining back and forth, the workers rushed to the next one for installation, and Zhang Tong beat the price down to 175 yuan.

In the end, the master worker didn't drink the Coke, shook his head and drove away in the minivan. As he walked, he said, "This boss has buckled him to death, and he will fight with me for one yuan or two."

Zhang Tong was still waving at the van where the worker master was leaving: "Thank you, master, I will give you a 10% discount next time you come to eat."

Ah, where did you just say? Oh, by the way, I, Zhang Tong, am also a man worth tens of millions. Money is just numbers to me, unfortunately I'm sensitive to numbers.

Zhang Tong walked back to the store with the coke that the workers didn't drink. Hey, prices are soaring in this era. Zhang Tong sighed a little. When he went to the vegetable market to buy pork at 6:30 in the morning, the pork belly cost fifteen or sixteen yuan a catty. The price had taken off.

There is also a house. The house price was only so much when I left, but now it is easily tens of millions. Huaihai City is really scary.

"Hey, it's still good for you. When everyone earns 600 yuan a month, you sell a bottle for 3 yuan. Now when everyone makes 6,000 yuan a month, you still sell a bottle for 3 yuan. Don't forget the original intention, Fang Always." Zhang Tong praised the bottle of Pepsi, and then took a gulp of Coke, feeling the stimulation brought by the carbonated drink in the mouth.

Hmm, there seems to be something wrong with what I said just now? But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong.

Zhang Tong's small shop does not have a menu, only a rewritable whiteboard. It was written with a black marker [Today’s Offer: Yangchun Noodles for 6 yuan a bowl, refillable noodles. Toppings: Stir-fried shredded pork with pickled vegetables and bamboo shoots is 2 yuan, chili sauce is 2 yuan, poached egg is 2 yuan, spicy meat is 8 yuan, and lion head is 12 yuan. 】

[Lion head set meal is 20 yuan a piece. A piece of spicy pork rice is 16 yuan. 】

This is all the dishes that Zhang Tong's small shop provides today, and he is waiting for customers to come to the door during the noon meal time. However, it was almost eleven o'clock at noon and I didn't see anyone on the street. I saw countless knights in uniforms of red, yellow and blue running around on the street.

Zhang Tong was a little puzzled. These people in three-color uniforms ran into the shops one by one and then quickly ran out with various things. I boarded the battery car and drove away, not knowing why.

"Hey, that's weird. Don't humans in the new century have to eat lunch? It's already half past eleven, what's the situation?" Zhang Tong's ambitions were a little bit extinguished, and he was more interested in the current situation. The situation is confusing: "Is the world changing so fast? Is everyone skipping lunch or bringing lunch to work is back in fashion? Or are all units providing canteens?"

Looking at the very clean but empty restaurant, Zhang Tong felt that he had bought too much fresh noodles today, and wondered if he could return them. This won't taste good the next day, I can't sell overnight noodles to customers.

One, two, three, four, five... When Zhang Tong was lighting up how many fresh noodles he had bought in the kitchen, a weak voice came from the direction of the front hall: "Boss, can you refill the noodles?"
