Wang Jinxiu frowned and was about to turn around and leave when his eyes suddenly saw the figure at the end of the queue. It looked okay. Wang Jinxiu immediately stopped and walked into the store.
As he entered, people from Chenjia Village who had finished their farm work came. It wasn’t that they wanted to show their appreciation, but some had tasted it and some had not. When they heard that it was free for the first three days, There were even groups of people entering the venue.
Suddenly, diners came, and the store became very busy, because there were few literate people in the village. Shu Qiong was very excited these days when she thought that a woman could open a store and be a shopkeeper. She came to the town every day, and it happened to be Fill the vacancy in the accounting room.
There were also many people gathered outside the door, all watching the fun. Unexpectedly, someone actually went to eat, and there was another round of discussion.
"It's strange that someone actually goes to eat here..."
Another added: "It's called barbecue."
"The ingredients look like shells but are not shells. Who knows if they can be eaten."
"It smells like a bit fragrant..."
These words successfully silenced everyone's comments, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath. The aroma of the food drifted in the wind and just reached their noses.
Shu Qiong has a well-proportioned figure, and her slightly bulging belly has not had any unnecessary changes. During this period, the food at her mother-in-law's house was actually better than at her own, and she didn't have to suffer from the complicated relationship between her parents and her husband. Shu Qiong only felt windy in her steps. , comfortable everywhere.
After writing down the list, she looked up and saw a huge crowd at the door, which didn't startle her.
Shu Qiong stood up from the chair and walked to the busy Yan Qingyao. After spending a few days together, she didn't realize that she was used to asking her sister for her ideas before doing things.
"Yao Yao, should I chase away the people at the door? This will affect our business."
Yan Qingyao washed the ingredients and said without looking back: "No, just let them watch like this!"
After all, there were no channels for promotion in ancient times, and there were people willing to watch your jokes at your door. Whether it could be transformed in the end depended on the deliciousness of the barbecue by the chefs.
Maybe it was because the smell was too fragrant. The people standing at the door drooled at the sight. They checked that the price was not as expensive as the ones in Yayan Building. Then they looked at the coins in their pockets. Some more people came in one after another.
In less than one stick of incense, the store lobby was suddenly filled with people. Everyone was busy and the smile that disappeared suddenly appeared on the corners of their mouths again.
People in Chenjia Village asked for several bowls of rice as soon as they were served. The rice that was served not only contained rice but also eggs, and it looked more delicious than white rice.
Thinking it was free, they didn't dare to order more. A bowl of egg fried rice made their stomachs feel slightly full. After a few skewers of barbecue, they stood up contentedly.
When they walked to the cashier, everyone scratched their heads. No one dared to speak first. Instead, Shu Qiong spoke first: "I know you, from Chenjiacun."
"Hey!" They nodded immediately.
Shu Qiong wrote the word "free" on their list and waved her hand: "Guests, go slowly!"
I really didn’t ask them for a copper plate.
Everyone blushed and left immediately.
Someone at the table immediately asked: "Why don't they give me copper coins?"
Shu Qiong moved her lips, but when she still didn't know what to say, Yan Qingyao immediately replied: "Because they are from the same village as me, I promised that within three days of opening, people from Chenjia Village can come and eat in the store at will."
"Then don't we lose money?"
Yan Qingyao smiled: "You have a 50% discount for opening now, which is a good deal."
The person who said this immediately had no objection. He picked up the bamboo stick and took a bite. An indescribable aroma filled the entire mouth and spread slowly. He took another bite of the meat. It was really the kind of chicken that he was reluctant to spend money to buy on weekdays. , now you can eat a bunch of them for ten copper coins.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from the noisy and lively hall, and then the iron plate fell to the ground with a "bang" sound that echoed on the ground.
Wang Jinxiu looked angry, stood up, and patted the oil stains on his clothes with his bare hands: "Is this how your barbecue restaurant treats distinguished guests?"
"Yes...I'm sorry." Chen Xiaohua looked at the barbecue plate on the ground and the oil stains on Wang Jinxiu's body in panic. She didn't know what to save for a moment.
In the end, he didn't do anything. He could only clasp his hands, his eyes slightly moist, and look down at the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Jinxiu's expression softened slightly. She raised her hand to touch the clenched hands, but she subconsciously avoided them.
Wang Jinxiu suddenly glared and snorted, blowing his mustache and clasping his hands behind his back: "I have ten taels of silver for my clothes, please pay for it!"
These words frightened Chen Xiaohua to the point where she trembled, and tears fell down from her eyes.
Shu Qiong noticed the situation immediately and was about to go over when she saw that Yan Qingyao had already walked over first.
Yan Qingyao glanced at it: "What's going on?"
Wang Jinxiu was afraid that she wouldn't see the oil stains on her clothes, so she deliberately dusted her clothes: "The waiter in your store stained my clothes, and he still can't pay compensation. What do you, the shopkeeper, say?"
After speaking arrogantly, Wang Jinxiu cast his eyes on Yan Qingyao as if she were a reward. With just a glance, he was dazzled by her delicate and fair face: Could this be Yan Siya whom he had glanced at casually before? ?
Perhaps her life had improved, and her appearance had also changed. Wang Jinxiu touched her meaningfully, and there was a smile at the corner of her mouth under the mustache.
Yan Qingyao was only focused on the accident and didn't notice the way he looked at her.
After listening to his explanation, Yan Qingyao patted Chen Xiaohua's back comfortingly and asked gently: "What about you?"
When Chen Xiaohua remembered that he had touched the back of her hand just now, and his disgusting touch seemed to still remain on the back of her hand, she lowered her head and glanced at the current situation, bit her lower lip tightly, shook her head, and did not dare to say anything. .
Wang Jinxiu saw this and flicked his sleeves: "Are these clothes the shopkeeper's compensation or her compensation?"
When Chen Xiaohua heard this, she moved her lips. She wanted to compensate herself, but she really couldn't afford so much money...
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yan Qingyao's crisp voice: "I apologize."
In the morning after opening, I didn't make a penny, but lost ten taels of silver.
Everyone sighed. Seeing that her daughter had made such a big mistake, Aunt Chen wanted to step forward to help solve the problem. However, seeing so many people watching the excitement in the store, she could only watch quietly as the shopkeeper stepped forward to solve the problem. Afterwards, she Say it again.
Although she thought so, her eyes kept falling on Chen Xiaohua. As soon as Chen Xiaohua raised her head, she looked at her mother. The grievance in her heart was like the ebb and flow of waves, rolling over and tears welling up again. Come up.
Aunt Chen saw the grievance and sadness in her daughter's eyes at a glance, and felt distressed: "If something happens, just tell the shopkeeper."
