Liu Mo also felt strange, but he didn't have time to ask.
"Don't show off, just tell me if you have anything to do. My uncle will support you!"
"Uncle?"
"That's right, our Miss Lin's future uncle was chosen by Mrs. Zhou herself!"
Liu Mo suddenly looked at Zhao Da with admiration.
If you reveal your identity at the critical moment, Zhao Da will indeed get things done!
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoqi became worried: "Uncle, let me tell you this, the four of us are not lazy to beg, but..."
"But what?"
"But...someone in the Lin family doesn't allow us to make another living!"
Liu Mo was suddenly shocked, "No..."
Although he didn't say it completely, Liu Mo understood it instantly after combining the previous things.
First of all: Jingshui Pavilion has not been open for two years, but in the past two years, the normal operating expenses have not been reduced.
Secondly: they have all closed down, but restaurant staff are not allowed to change jobs.
Then there is only one explanation: there is a big shot in the Lin family who not only deducts the monthly salary of the shop assistants. He also misappropriated the monthly operating funds of Jingshui Pavilion.
But they were also afraid that Mrs. Zhou would know that the restaurant was dead in name only, so she would force the employees not to leave their jobs and trap them in Rongcheng.
It creates the illusion that the restaurant is still operating and enriches his own pockets.
No matter who he is, this person must have a lot of background.
If I come to Rongcheng by myself, he will definitely try his best to deal with me.
Based on this analysis, my test is not only to find a way to bring the restaurant back to life, but also to always be on guard against a giant nest of borers in the Lin family.
It’s really a hell of a difficulty!
I asked Zhao Da, who was the previous shopkeeper of Jingshui Pavilion?
Zhao Dalian kept waving his hands and asked no questions.
These words were his actions, but Liu Mo could tell through his eyes that Zhao Da didn't want to get angry and pretended not to know.
When I asked some of the shop assistants, they all said that they had not seen the shopkeeper in person for two years.
"Hey, even the shopkeeper is cheating!"
Just as he was feeling worried, the cook revealed a secret.
Rongcheng opened a restaurant called 'Guangjuxuan' three years ago. Since the opening of 'Guangjuxuan', Jingshui Pavilion's business has been getting worse and worse.
Moreover, the boss of Guangjuxuan is also from Linyang.
Hearing the news, Liu Mo frowned! What the heck, maybe that guy’s surname is Lin...
At present, Mrs. Zhou only has a good impression of me, and I am not a serious son-in-law of the Lin family.
Even so, as a son-in-law, he cannot act rashly until the matter is found out.
Things are either not done or never done.
Only after the ins and outs of everything have been found out can you report it to the old lady, so as to avoid being outspoken!
Thinking of this, Liu Mo ordered Wang Xiaoqi to take the other two waiters to clean the restaurant inside and out first, and asked the cook to stay because he had something to ask.
Wang Xiaoqi and the others took the order and retreated.
Liu Mo turned his head, bowed his hands, and asked, "You haven't asked me your name yet?"
"Back to my aunt, the younger one's name is Dong Xusheng, and he was originally the chef of our Jingshui Pavilion!"
"Xu Sheng, Rising Sun in the East, what a good name!" Liu Mo said with a smile, "Master Dong, I have a few questions that I need to ask you."
"Uncle, please tell me."
Then, Liu Mo asked for about half an hour and got an overview of Rongcheng.
According to Dong Xusheng's information, Rongcheng has a population of approximately 2.78 million.
The city is approximately square and spreads out for miles. The location of Jingshui Pavilion can be said to be very good, near the central and western market in the city.
At the same time, there are four restaurants in Rongcheng that are the same size as Jingshui Pavilion.
Two of them are both in Dongshi, and their businesses do not affect each other, so they can be ignored. Guangjuxuan and Yunshuilou are the two biggest competitors in Xishi!
Business is mainly concentrated at night, and business is relatively weak during the day.
After understanding this, Liu Mo closed his eyes and thought.
at night…
Restaurants and food stalls on Earth also do good business at night, so what tricks should be used?
hot pot? barbecue? Spicy lobster?
These are the best-selling tricks on the planet.
Let’s go on an on-site inspection first to see if these things can be produced in Rongcheng.
"Zhao Da, go arrange the carriage." Liu Mo said, "Master Dong, come with me to the market."
"As you command, uncle!"
~~~
He took Zhao Da and Dong Xusheng directly to the market.
Rongcheng West Market occupies a large area and is square in shape, surrounded by mud huts and lime-coated shops.
In the center of the square is a business district composed of vendors and rugged aisles.
When they arrived, hundreds of vendors were unloading their goods.
However, compared with the market squares in Linyang City and other cities, it seems quiet and deserted.
There are many things sold in the market.
Copperware, fermented fermented beans and black beans, lacquer, coarse and fine cloth, silk, live fish, dry goods, furs, vegetables, everything is available.
Liu Mo is just looking at these things and doesn't care too much.
Suddenly, a vendor caught his attention.
What that man is selling is: goat milk!
"Goat's milk, fresh goat's milk!"
He walked forward quickly and came to the man's stall.
"Sir, would you like some goat's milk?" he greeted with a local accent.
"May I ask the merchant, your goat milk?"
"Fresh, freshly squeezed in the morning."
"Oh? How to sell it?"
Before the vendor could answer, Zhao Da looked confused and said, "Mr. Liu, why are you buying goat milk?"
The Kingdom of Daxia is very different from ancient times on Earth.
After the baby is born, rich people hire a wet nurse, while poor people drink breast milk.
If the mother is thin and lacks milk. In ancient times, there was no milk powder, so goat milk was undoubtedly the best substitute.
What Zhao Da didn't understand was what Liu Mo meant by buying goat milk.
He has no children, and goat milk is not easy to store. (There were no refrigerators in ancient times.)
"Haha, no need to ask anymore, we will know later."
Zhao had a big mouth and thought to himself, "You don't know how to drink it yourself?"
There are some men in Daxia who like to drink wine, but it’s so weird that they like to drink milk!
"Sir, this goat's milk costs one tael of silver for a pot." The merchant replied, "I wonder where you live? I know a midwife who knows some tricks to help your wife induce lactation!"
"Thank you for your kindness!" Liu Mo, "Please give me a pot. Others are unnecessary."
Dong Xusheng was also dumbfounded, "Uncle, this is..."
"Haha, we'll see when we get back."
He took out the broken silver and bought a pot of goat's milk. Under the surprised looks of Zhao Da and Dong Xusheng, he turned and left.
Then, Liu Mo took the two of them to the market to buy some taro, sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, cassava, glutinous rice, and brown sugar.
Why buy goat milk? Because according to the memory of the earth.
Milk tea, beer, barbecue, spicy lobster, some of the best-selling items at the night market!
There are no such brewing conditions for beer, and lobsters were not introduced during the Great Xia Dynasty.
The only things we can do are milk tea, barbecue, fried chicken and the like!
Barbecuing is easy. You just need to find a blacksmith to build a barbecue grill. Liu Mo remembers all the ingredients.
In addition to grilling, grind some flour when you get back.
Fried crispy pork and KFC copycat (fried chicken), aren’t they just at your fingertips?
Hehe, Da Xia Chao Night Supper Food Stall is about to be launched.
