I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

Back in the early morning, not far from the Qinhuai River Pier, the restaurant that originally sold pastries suddenly changed its entrance, and a large signboard was put up again.

“Tong’s simple food!”

There are two rows of slogans hanging at the door: Five cents to eat, eight cents to eat well!

The porters who were going back and forth looked at such a restaurant with curiosity. The aroma coming from inside attracted many people to stop and look at it.

The lighting in the house is excellent, with several windows open, and the neat and clean arrangement inside is completely different from the outside.

Not to mention the smell, just the cleanness of this place attracts everyone to rush in.

The boys standing at the door were all wearing uniform clothes, neat half-length long sleeves, striped trousers, and a pair of cloth boots on their feet. It looks a little out of place with the current clothes, but the mental outlook is extremely different.

Some curious porters even asked: "Little brothers, what do you have to eat here?"

The waiter Xiaoxiao replied: "That's a lot. As for the staple food, we have whole-grain steamed buns and vegetable rice. For the dishes, we have meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and side dishes to go with the meal. It all depends on what you order, sir!"

After saying that, the boy said with an extremely ambiguous expression: "We can eat enough for five cents, eight cents is good!"

The porter smiled and asked the boy: "Are you sure you can eat enough for five cents? We big men only eat a mouthful of rice. You think you want us to be full for five cents?"

"Of course, for five cents you can get a vegetable rice or steamed buns, plus a side dish. The side dishes are limited, but the rice is enough!"

The porter was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You guy, you don't think about your shopkeeper at all when you speak, wouldn't you, your shopkeeper, have to pay for it with death?"

As soon as he said this, the porters who were watching the excitement all laughed.

"Oh~"

The strange noises around him made the boy's face turn red. He said angrily: "Ah, our shopkeeper is a good man. The reason why he ordered it so cheaply is because the shopkeeper has been hungry before, so he wants to let people go." We all can afford to eat, but you guys have ruined the good intentions of our shopkeepers. You can eat as much as you like, but the price is determined anyway!"

The boy seemed to have a temper. After saying that, he turned around and went in.

This actually made the porters outside a little bit interested. Among the porters there was an older man with a full beard and a wide body. Among the group of big men, he was also a bit taller. He looked very troublesome. look.

The porters on the side looked at the bearded man with great respect, and asked, "Brother Lin, you know a lot. Do you think you can believe what this boy says?"

Lin Zhengrong thought for a while, shook the meat on his body and said: "No matter whether he is true or false, we will eat him at noon. If he lies, we will destroy his shop! He will not be able to gain a foothold in this area! "

"Gao, wait and see when the time comes. As long as you give the order, there is nothing the brothers can't do without taking action!"

These porters are all smiling, looking very bright, but giving people a sense of eeriness.

In the restaurant, Tong Jiasheng, who was dressed like a human and a dog, was touching and looking around in his first store. His eyes were as greedy as seeing the lover of his dreams.

Those guys are already used to it. This guy with a grin like a lotus flower has this habit. He has been banging his shop like crazy for a while, and he won't stop until he touches it several times a day.

The aroma inside the house is getting stronger and stronger, and the carefully crafted dining table is different from the outside. It is made of fine iron. The vacuum below can put hot water to ensure the heat of the dishes.

The meat dishes mainly consist of pig offal. After all, pork is not suitable for such an affordable price.

The cold side dishes are pickled radishes, pickles and the like, which are served in big pots.

Perhaps because of disbelief in new things, only a few people came to inquire about it throughout the morning, and there were no guests.

Tong Jiasheng was a little anxious. Although he believed that there was nothing wrong with the strategy he had formulated, when he thought about the dismal flow of people on the first day, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. There were so many people in the business school, and if he was the only one who had a problem, just think about it. Know the faces of those people.

"Is the shopkeeper here?"

The owner of the rich voice was a tall man with a full beard. He looked a little fat, but his muscles and momentum were scary to look at.

Are there guests?

Tong Jiasheng's mind suddenly became active, and he subconsciously said: "Oh, the uncle is here!"

The group of people who entered were stunned, and the porters burst into laughter instantly.

"You, the shopkeeper, do you think you want to be the madam of the Gold Selling Cave by relying on the Qinhuai River?"

An ordinary person would have been so embarrassed by these words that he would not be able to hold his head up, but Tong Jiasheng seemed to have no feeling at all. His grin was extremely festive, and his crooked mouth seemed to be blooming.

"Look at what you said, I'm just going to be a bustard, and people won't recognize me!"

"Hey, you shopkeeper, don't be so harsh. Today we are not here to see if you are suitable to be a madam. Your shop says that you can eat a full meal at five cents and a good meal at eight cents. Do you really take it seriously?" Lin Zhengrong said with a tone. The rich tone and cheerful personality hardly make people feel uncomfortable.

"That's not true. Our store is just a signboard and we never bully customers!" Tong Jiasheng said as soon as he opened his mouth.

"In our small shop, for five cents, you can eat this vegetable rice and steamed buns when you are full. For one cent, you can add as many side dishes as you like. For three cents, you can add whatever side dishes you like. One spoonful of meat dishes and one spoonful of vegetarian dishes. No omissions! It's just that! One thing is that our store operates on a small budget and believes in taking what you can eat, and waste is prohibited. The store will fine those who waste a penny, and those who are extravagant are prohibited from entering, and takeaways are not allowed!"

"The store is not big, but the rules are quite strict!" Some porters suddenly muttered.

The bearded Lin Zhengrong had a thoughtful look on his face, and then said: "The shopkeeper is interesting. In that case, let's try your so-called eight-text delicious food today!"

The porters relied on their strength to eat. As long as they were willing to work hard, they could earn dozens of pennies a day. Eight pennies for a meal was nothing.

As people filed in, the entire hall was filled to the brim.

After paying the price and taking the plate, everyone was surprised to see the food plate. When the vegetables and rice arrived, the taste was simply unstoppable. Although it is a vegetable rice, it contains a mixture of wild vegetables and rice, but you can also see some minced meat in it.

A full spoonful, with absolutely no derogations, made everyone praise the shopkeeper again.

Everyone also took a look at the side dishes, which were usually pickled pickles. If they were heavy-tasting, they would put some on them. The vegetable vegetables were stir-fried bright green and took a full spoonful. Everyone was a little confused when they looked at the pig's urine, but it was okay anyway. Meat, mixed with some vegetables such as potatoes, is also a big spoonful.

In addition to these, there is also a large bucket of soup in the store with some mushrooms floating in it, which you can take for free.

After a whole set of procedures, all the porters were convinced.

After taking a bite of pig sesame, the taste without any fishy smell directly conquered everyone's taste buds.

The whole store was full of the sound of gobbling. After finishing the food on the plate, they took the bowls and chopsticks and asked: "The shopkeeper, didn't you say you can eat whatever you want? Can you still eat it?"

"Yes, as a heat energy, since I told you to eat well, I will never deprive you of food, just fight it!" Tong Jiasheng smiled, not feeling distressed at all about losing money.

"Oh, the shopkeeper's atmosphere!"

Everyone suddenly had a better impression of the shopkeeper, but after one of them had eaten six bowls of rice, everyone started to boo.

"Dali, please take your time and eat so much. Be careful that the shopkeeper doesn't let us eat here again next time!"

The guy called Dali was just like everyone else, he was very ordinary, but his appetite was really amazing. Everyone was coaxing him, and there was no place to put the hand holding the plate, and his face was a little panicked.

"Please be quiet," Lin Zhengrong stood up, stared at everyone with his tiger eyes, and immediately fell silent.

Tong Jiasheng indeed took Dali's dinner plate with a smile, filled it with food, added some side dishes, and said: "Eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat. When I was fleeing famine, if my parents had such a mouthful I have enough food to eat, but I won’t starve to death. I have a good life. I didn’t starve to death during the great disaster seven years ago. Now I want to open this ‘Tongjia Simple Food’ all over the Ming Dynasty so that everyone can afford it. meal!"

The porter who was called Dali burst into tears immediately. He held the dinner plate and cried: "Seven years ago, my parents also starved to death! I am afraid that I will not be full, so I eat as much as I can."

Hearing this, Tong Jiasheng added another spoonful of meat: "Eat, we can live, so we can't treat ourselves badly!"

"This, this," Dali raised his head, and a pair of eyes could be seen shining with tears on his messy face.

Tong Jiasheng smiled and said: "It's given to you for free, just eat it."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Before Dali could reply, Lin Zhengrong over there had already stood up and cupped his hands.

The porters also stood up and clasped their hands together: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

Dali also stood up: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper!"

Tong Jiasheng returned the salute with clasped fists: "You're welcome!"

Tong Jiasheng's attitude won the favor of these porters. The porters had been to countless restaurants, but such a special shopkeeper was unheard of.

The reputation of Tongjia's simple meals spread like wildfire.
