Chapter 159: What Does It Mean?
Dianbai County, Qingfeng Restaurant.
As the largest restaurant in the city, it is one of the most prosperous cities in western Guangdong, and it has the advantage of the port of Dianbaigang, which is full of high-rollers.
Although it is a new owner, it has not caused much negative impact, but because of factors such as the kitchen system, the business of the restaurant has risen instead of falling, and there is a rich surplus every day.
Syllable! Syllable!
A pair of slightly old hands were very dexterous, and the beads on the abacus were pulled by him with a crunchy sound, and each bead landed just right on its rightful place.
Uncle Ram was in front of the counter, counting the accounts with a solemn expression.
From a small market town to a small market town, in a very short period of time, he has become the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in this ancient city, which is undoubtedly a huge change in life.
However, he knows that the more proud people are, the more careful and prudent they must be, otherwise they will be empty. So he is even more serious in his work, and he is very clear about every account.
Seeing that he had some spare time, he rechecked his previous ledger to find out that there was not a single mistake.
"Uncle Ram, how is business lately?" While he was settling the accounts, a big man appeared at the counter, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Uncle Ram showed his signature smile when he heard the voice, but when he looked up and saw the appearance of the person, Qiao said angrily: "Your kid weighs hundreds of pounds, why don't you walk without a sound, you want to scare your uncle?" ”
"It's uncle, your eyes are in the eyes of money!" Lin Dabiao said with a smile, his eyes fell on his account book and he sighed: "I found that our hard work is not as much as the money we make in this restaurant!" ”
"To each his own earns! The ancients said: Even if the family has a thousand gold, it is not as good as a day. The craftsmanship of dyeing cloth in our village is the foundation of our village, which can protect our descendants for hundreds of generations. Uncle Ram put down the abacus and shook his head in a crepe manner to talk about the big truth.
"Uncle, I lost!" Lin Dabiao was most afraid that he would say those big truths, and it would be endless, so he begged for mercy, and patted his flat stomach and said: "I'll listen to you talk about the big truth another day, our stomachs are so hungry that we can't do it, you better give us a meal first!" ”
"Go to the kitchen and see for yourself! Nineteen has already confessed, it is not easy for you to run, you can eat whatever seafood you like! Uncle Ram waved his hand and told him to go to the kitchen to look at it.
Lin Dabiao hurriedly ran into the kitchen, but he was also welcome, it was a delicacy that was impossible to enjoy before, but there is no need to scruple here. The men in the village now like to deliver goods the most, and they all come for this big meal.
The chef who wanted to call Da Biao a brother was very enthusiastic and immediately recommended dishes to him.
This time two hundred pieces of cloth were transported, and ten people came, just to make a table.
Uncle Ram looked at the dishes that were not much, but the portions were extremely sufficient, and thought to himself that the cook was really a clever man. He put the two jars of wine on the table, refused their invitation, and went down to get busy.
Although he didn't taste these delicacies, he felt sweet in his heart when he saw that his people could live like gods. Who would have thought that more than half a year ago, many people in the village did not have rice to cook, but now they can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Uncle Ram walked down the stairs with a happy mood, but just walked through the lively hall, and was about to walk into the counter, but found that the door was a little noisy.
I saw an official wearing an eight-rank official robe striding in with a large man, and with the wave of his palm, a dozen or so yacha behind him pounced on the diners in the lobby and drove them all out.
"Cheng Xiancheng, I don't know what offends the little one, please raise your noble hand!" Seeing this, Uncle Ram immediately walked to the official in a panic and pleaded.
Cheng Xiancheng looked at Uncle Ram expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Your restaurant is suspected of harboring anti-thieves, you will move out of here as soon as possible, and this official will seal this place!" ”
"That thief just came here to eat yesterday, and it has nothing to do with our restaurant! And when we were arrested yesterday, our side also made a contribution, so why did we still close our restaurant? When Uncle Ram heard this, he hurriedly defended.
Cheng Xiancheng snorted coldly, glanced at him lightly and said: "The official's words are already very clear, you harbored the thief, do you still want to disobey the order of the imperial court now?" ”
"No, don't dare!" Uncle Ram was busy denying it, and then gently pulled him and said, "Please also ask Lord Cheng to take a step to speak!" ”
Cheng Xiancheng's chin raised slightly, and he looked at him with a righteous look and said, "Do you want to bribe this official?" ”
Uncle Ram looked at his upright and strict image, sighed silently in his heart, and let go of his hand.
knows very well the reason why the people don't fight with the officials, and when he sees the current development of the situation, he knows that his arm can't twist this thigh. It's just that seeing the restaurant being sealed like this, he is very unwilling.
Ah......
But I saw a servant who went up to bombard people roll down the stairs, and a big man with a group of young men appeared at the staircase, staring viciously at Cheng Xiancheng below.
"A bold maniac, he actually beat the official and took him down for me!" Cheng Xiancheng immediately had a gloomy face, pointed at Lin Dabiao and said sharply.
Lin Dabiao looked at Cheng Xiancheng who was clamoring below, and a wave of anger slowly ignited in his heart.
Just now, when he sent the cloth to Shen Liuye, if it weren't for Shen Liuye's big face, that batch of cloth would definitely be detained by this Cheng County. But he didn't expect that this person would make a plan and make a plan, so he would seize this restaurant.
"Master Cheng, it's so majestic, I heard from two streets that it was seized again, and it was taking people again!" But at this moment, Chen Yuanwai, a well-known wealthy businessman in Dianbai City, walked in, looked at Cheng Xiancheng lightly and smiled.
Cheng Xiancheng glanced at him, but he didn't intend to give him face, and said indifferently: "I am also doing my best for the imperial court, but why does Chen Yuanwai have the elegance to come here to take care of these troubles?" ”
"Dog Zi Qingshu competed and won the sixtieth place in the Enke Township Test! The ingredients at home are not enough, so I came to ask Shopkeeper Lin for some here! Chen Yuanwai didn't seem to hear the next half of the words, and raised his head arrogantly and said.
When Uncle Ram heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of envy, and at the same time, he also swelled with a little hope.
"Huh?" Cheng Xiancheng was suddenly too shocked in his heart, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Chen Yuanwai for getting a unicorn, this high school, next year will be the title of the gold list!" ”
However, he knew that the sixty places in the township test were already considered good results, and with Chen Qingshu's age, he would have a chance to win the Jinshi, and then he would be the seventh rank official.
"Huh...... The dog didn't dare to ask for the title of the gold list! Chen Yuanwai said modestly, looked at the restaurant again, and said meaningfully: "It's for you to give you such a letter, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat Xie Yuanlang's banquet!" ”
"You...... What do you mean by that? Cheng Xiancheng's eyes widened immediately, and a terrifying thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately vetoed it again.
Uncle Ram was also nervous, but he also couldn't believe the possibility that flashed through his mind. It's just that unlike Cheng Xiancheng, he is begging in his heart, and he is even willing to exchange Shouyuan for that fact.
"This Xie Yuanlang is a person from our Gaozhou Mansion, surnamed Lin, his name is so, and his words are foolish." Chen Yuanwai looked at the nervous crowd and announced the latest good news with a smile.
