After the scolding ended, the landlady turned to look at Su Shipei and said with a smile, "Master, please don't blame me. These children are all undisciplined. If you bump into Master, please don't blame me."
Su Shi looked at the group of children curiously, and found that the oldest of the children was only seven or eight years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old. He couldn't help but ask, "Where are the parents of these children?"
The proprietress was about thirty years old, with a round face, a high nose, and a slightly chubby figure. Seeing Su Shi asking about the situation of the children, he smiled bitterly and said, "These dolls are all orphans, otherwise they wouldn't be like this."
Su Shi took another look at the children and saw that although they were dressed in tatters, they all had rosy faces and were obviously not hungry. Then he looked at the landlady with a smile and said, "It seems that the landlady is kind-hearted and these dolls have something to rely on."
Hearing this, the landlady couldn't help but sigh: "I also see these dolls as pitiful, so I give them some leftovers every day, but..."
At this point, the landlady suddenly showed a worried expression.
"Just what?"
At this time, the group of children had finished their meal, and as if they were afraid of disturbing them, some carefully packed away the dishes, while others wiped the table vigorously.
The landlady sighed: "I don't know how long I can take care of them."
Su Shi looked around. It was dinner time, but there were only two guests at the dozen or so small tables, Su Shi and Lin Mo.
"bad business?"
"Ever since three or four restaurants selling vegetables opened here, my store's business has plummeted. I don't know how long it can last."
Su Shi smiled and said: "Since there is a newly opened restaurant, it is instinct for diners to try new things. Just wait until the novelty wears off."
The boss smiled bitterly and said: "I hope it will be as the young master said."
Then she greeted again: "I wonder what you would like to try today?"
Su Shi looked at the menu on the wall and said, "One part deer breast, one part ginger fish fillet." Then he asked Lin Mo: "What do you like?"
Lin Mo shook his head: "Young master, it's up to you."
“Then let’s serve another plate of beef tenderloin fried with green onions and a portion of lotus root tofu.”
The landlady said hurriedly: "Sir, the portions of the dishes in this shop are very generous. There are only two of you, so I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the four dishes."
Su Shi smiled and said, "You can come up here." He pointed at Lin Mo and said, "He eats well. I'm worried that these four dishes are not enough."
The landlady had no choice but to say: "Then please wait a moment, sir."
Su Shi nodded slightly.
At this time, the children cleaned up the dishes, ran away, and disappeared into the crowd.
Su Shi looked at the backs of the children and said with a smile, "This lady boss has a good heart."
"yes."
Su Shi looked around for another week, straightened his back, and continued: "This place is not bad."
"good."
Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that the business is a bit behind."
Lin Mo looked suddenly, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.
"You want me to help her?"
Lin Mo said silently: "The boss lady is a good person."
"I know."
"Good people should be rewarded."
Su Shi suddenly looked at Lin Mo curiously and couldn't help but ask, "Am I a good person?"
Lin Mo shut his mouth and refused to answer the question.
Although he had followed Su Shi in the past few days and saw that he was no longer as domineering and arrogant as before, and he would even help others, Su Shi had left such a deep impression on him that the sudden change did not make Lin Mo change his attitude. view.
Su Shi didn't force it, and just said calmly: "What if I help the boss lady?"
Lin Mo's eyes lit up: "Master, are you willing to help the landlady?"
Although Lin Mo still had opinions about Su Shi's character, he admired his methods very much.
Especially yesterday at Jinghu Lake, Su Shi only wrote a few words and the black plum soup was sold out.
Su Shi smiled and said, "You didn't say that good people should be rewarded."
Seeing that Su Shi agreed with his words, Lin Mo scratched his head in embarrassment, with a rare expression of embarrassment on his honest face.
"The villain is just talking nonsense, sir, don't blame me."
Su Shi sighed: "Good people are rewarded. This should be the truth of the world. How could it be nonsense?"
While the two were chatting, the proprietress came to them with a plate of beef tenderloin fried with green onions.
Looking at this plate of beef tenderloin with scallions and scallions, Su Shi couldn't help but smile and said, "The boss lady is really a real person."
The landlady put down the plate, turned around and took another pot of wine and two cups and placed them in front of Su Shi and Lin Mo.
"This is the first time for these two distinguished guests to visit our store. This bottle of wine is given to these two distinguished guests by the store. I hope you won't dislike it."
"Thank you, boss lady." Su Shi picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of beef tenderloin. His mouth felt crispy and he couldn't help but praise: "Good cooking skills."
Lin Mo had already filled a glass of wine for him. Su Shi took a sip and found that the wine tasted a bit ordinary.
Su Shi put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's rude to come back without reciprocating. Since the boss's wife gave me a good wine, I naturally have to give it back to the boss's wife."
The landlady said hurriedly: "As long as the young master doesn't dislike it, it's fine. How dare I ask for a gift from the young master in return?"
Su Shi said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I have a few things to ask you."
"Young Master, it's okay to ask."
"This chef is very good at his craftsmanship. Is he your husband?"
The landlady nodded and said, "Young Master is talking about my husband-in-law."
"How long have you been doing this?"
"More than a year."
Su Shi continued to ask: "Is this your first time doing business?"
The proprietress replied: "Exactly, my husband was originally the chef of Yunfu House. After Yunfu closed two years ago, we used all our savings to open this store." When she said this, she couldn't help but sigh. : “After I opened this store, I realized that business is not as easy as I thought, and I could only make ends meet by working from dawn to dusk.”
Su Shi nodded and continued: "Your husband is very good at cooking and the prices of the dishes are very reasonable. This store is in a densely populated area, so it should be very profitable."
Before the landlady could speak, Su Shi continued: "The problem is that it's your first time doing business, so you don't have enough experience to make any money."
The landlady smiled bitterly and said: "Now we also know that we are not good at doing business, but we are already riding a tiger. We can't let our hard work go to waste, and we can only last as long as we can."
Su Shi suddenly smiled and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. In my opinion, it's easy to make money."
The landlady was stunned: "Simple?"
Su Shi nodded and said, "As long as we make a few changes, not to mention making a lot of money every day, it should be no problem to return to work within a year."
"Recover the money within one year?" The proprietress looked at Su Shi hesitantly, although there was some expectation in her eyes, she didn't hold out much hope.
Su Shi smiled and said: "This is the gift I am going to give to the boss's wife. Will the boss's wife accept it?"
