Look at the fact that it is almost noon and guests are starting to come in. The restaurant here is newly opened, and the county government has specially taken care of it, and it has spread all over the county in the past few days, and many good people have come to take a look at the excitement.

He Dalang, who was selling pens, and his two companions were the first to say hello to Han Lian, and walked all the way to the counter, and when they saw several large vat in front of the table, they couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Brother, why is the store still selling wine from 'Yaojiazhengdian' now?" ”

Han Lian smiled all over his face: "Today is different from the past, the business has become bigger, and you can't just sell spirits." I sell the Yao family's wine here, and their restaurant also sells our wine. When everyone helps each other, business will be better. ”

Several people nodded yes together, and found a seat near the counter to sit down.

He Dalang said: "A few of us are good wine people, and we can't drink wine without strength." Shopkeeper, or play a dime of spirits. ”

Han Lian agreed behind the cabinet, and ordered the little servant to make a drink and send it to a few people.

Du Zhongxiao walked to the table and saluted a few people: "A few guest officers, what kind of food do you want to drink today?" ”

He Dalang said: "Your braised sheep's hooves are good, if it's sometimes, take ten or eight." If there is meat, cut two catties of mutton. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Naturally, there are sheep's hooves, and mutton is also available. However, now we are a restaurant, no more than before, and there are naturally many more dishes. A few guest officers, why don't you have some other dishes? It's always good to taste it. ”

He Dalang smiled when he heard this: "If there is any good food, let's taste it when we come up, and then we will calculate the money." ”

Du Zhongxiao said again and again, and said in his mouth: "Now that the weather is cold day by day, we have a new kind of mutton here that is eaten on the stove, and it is best to eat it on the stove." Of course, there are also fresh seasonal vegetables, which are eaten to clear the heat and remove the fire. ”

The drinkers on the side laughed when they heard this: "This season, the weather is cold and freezing, where do you get any fresh vegetables!" ”

Du Zhongxiao was a little embarrassed: "Guest officer, like tender lotus root, taro and the like, are also considered seasonal vegetables." ”

Several people laughed when they heard this, and asked Du Zhongxiao to just pick out three or five good things.

In this era, there were also vegetables grown in greenhouses in winter, which were supplied in winter, but the price was extremely high, and it was not that the rich families could not afford to eat them. In winter, melons and vegetables are sold, and the prices are often up, and restaurants like Du Zhongxiao can't afford to buy them. The dishes often eaten in winter are still pickled vegetables and pickles, and the taste can be imagined. Du Zhongxiao wanted to rely on this restaurant to turn over, so he naturally thought about the dishes and deliberately added stir-fried vegetables.

The Song Dynasty already had the rudiments of stir-frying, but it was still very rare, and the so-called stir-fry was mostly fried. The oil used is not like soybean oil and rapeseed oil in later generations, but sesame oil is mainly used. Sesame oil is produced in small quantities and has a high price, so it is not affordable for families.

Soybean oil and rapeseed oil have a fishy smell when stir-fried, and the smoke is too big for lamps, so only poor people use it. Du Zhongxiao used the knowledge of his previous life to collect beans from the market, fry them first and then squeeze the oil, remove the fishy smell, and use them to stir-fry vegetables, which is counted as the characteristic of his restaurant.

He Dalang and the others are the old customers of the Han family's foot shop, and they are all acquaintances. Du Zhongxiao was about to use them to make the restaurant famous, and hurriedly instructed the servant to go to the back kitchen, let the cook prepare carefully, and fry a few good dishes to serve them wine.

While they were talking and laughing here, Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng brought a few servants and swayed in from outside. The two of them had frost on their faces and walked around the restaurant.

When Du Zhongxiao saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and shouted loudly to the little guy who greeted the guests outside the restaurant: "You greet the guests, why don't you have eyes, what kind of people are put in!" These two pops are not good people, how can they let them in? Don't disturb the guests! ”

When Wu Kejiu heard this, he couldn't help but get angry: "What are you talking about?" The restaurant opened its doors to do business, and we were not allowed to come? ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head again and again: "Are you two guests?" I did evil a few days ago, and I almost ruined my family, but you still have the face to come to me. The judge looked at your relatives and let you go. If you don't think about it behind closed doors at home, do you still want to have something to do in the future? ”

Wu Kejiu snorted coldly: "Little thief, I was careless last time and let you escape." In Linying County, you go and ask, who dares to go against my family like you? I have been born for more than 20 years, and I have never suffered such a big loss! Remember, this revenge is not a gentleman! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "That's good, I'm about to say it to you." Thanks to you, the wound on my body will only heal in the past two days, and there will always be a chance to return the rod to you in the future! Last time, you were presumptuous, and it was Daddy Han's family who had food and clothing in your hands. Now it's different, we have our own restaurant, and we don't have to look at your face anymore. If you come like last time, I will immediately ask the little servant to twist you to the county office. Now the county magistrate is different from the previous Shi County Order, and you will look good then! ”

Wu Kejiu just sneered, ignored Du Zhongxiao, and just looked around in the restaurant. What is the difference from the previous Shi County Order? As long as the matter is not brought to the official face, what can the magistrate do? The Wu family has money, and some have a way to find trouble with Du Zhongxiao.

After turning around, Wu Kejiu saw the wine vat of "Yao's main store", and couldn't help but change his face: "The Yao family is so bold, they actually sold the wine here on credit!" Their restaurant sells wine in the north of the city, and the north of the city is my family's business, and they sell it here, not to rob my family's territory?! ”

Du Zhongxiao's restaurant is not far from "its fragrant residence", and the two have obvious competitive relationship, and "Yao's main store" came here to sell wine, which is obviously intruding into the Wu family's territory.

The commerce of this era is different from Du Zhongxiao's previous life, and the biggest feature is that one is the guild and the other is the tooth man, that is, the feudal guild economy mentioned in the textbook. There is guild management, vicious competition is taboo, and it is generally coordinated and divided into territories. This is the case of the restaurant industry in Linying County, "Yaojiazhengdian" is in the north of the city, "Qixiangju" is in the south of the city, and in the middle is all the official wine warehouses in the county. The county finally asked Du Zhongxiao to open the restaurant here, because he had a conflict with the Wu family, and the affairs of the two families did not involve other restaurants.

This time, the Wu family suffered a loss in the official, although relying on their own relatives, there was no danger in the end, but the momentum was lost. Du Zhongxiao's restaurant selling spirits was opened near his house, and it was already very hot, and Wu Kejiu couldn't help but come over to take a look. Unexpectedly, "Yaojiazheng Store" actually took this opportunity to sell wine to its own territory, which is worth it.

Du Zhongxiao walked to the three wine vats, crossed his arms and said to Wu Kejiu: "We can't make wine, we can only sell spirits by steaming spirits from the lees, how can the business of the restaurant do this?" 'Yaojiazheng Store' is in the north of the city, just let them help us sell spirits, we sell the wine of their restaurant, and the two families get benefits, so they naturally cooperate. This is a natural thing, and there is nothing strange about it. ”

Wu Kejiu just sneered: "Okay, good, you join forces with the Yao family and fight against us, we have written down this hatred." Tomorrow on the ninth day of the new year, several restaurants in the county will discuss together, and we will listen to what Feng Jiejie has to say. If he doesn't pay attention, I'll have my own means to deal with you! ”

Han Lian listened to it and couldn't help but worry. The Wu family is not only wealthy, but has always had a good relationship with officials, including Feng Jie, who bought official liquor. If the relationship between several restaurants is stiff, I don't know what will happen to my newly opened restaurant. looked at Du Xun on the side, and saw that he lowered his head and let Du Zhongxiao be the master there, so he had to sigh secretly.
