Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Everyone in Qingshui County knows that the county magistrate’s surname is Song. Could it be that this store is opened by the magistrate’s family?

For a while, many people were watching.

If this store is opened by the county magistrate, then they will support it no matter what!

Although the backers behind Chen Ji are the generals from the Xishan Military Camp and the Huo family, the general in charge of Changzhou, the family is too high for ordinary people like them to get involved!

But Magistrate Song is different. He is the parent official of Qingshui County, so it is easy to establish a relationship!

As for Magistrate Song opening a shop on Pier Street, will it offend Xishan Military Camp and the Huo family?

Just kidding, doesn’t Magistrate Song know more about official matters than they, a commoner? Since Magistrate Song dares to open a shop, it means that he must be confident!

So when the people of Qingshui County saw Magistrate Song's high-profile visit to Song Ji Hot Pot Restaurant, Chen Ji's business plummeted instantly!

Chen Xi found He Yun and asked, "Is that Song Ji really a shop opened by Magistrate Song?"

He Yun shook his head: "The person who signed the contract was not Magistrate Song."

"Is he a relative of Magistrate Song's family?"

He Yun suddenly seemed to have thought of something and glanced at her.

Chen Xi asked: "What's wrong?"

He Yun looked away: "It's nothing. I'll check it first and tell you when there is news."

"it is good."

"What will happen to Chen Ji and the processing factory's business during this period?"

"The store will remain open as usual. The processing factory will see the situation. If orders decrease, I will find a way."

After Chen Xi left Chengji Bank, he thought about it and decided to go to Songji Hot Pot Restaurant to have a taste of their food.

Song Ji's shopkeeper naturally knew Chen Xi. When he saw Chen Xi coming, he immediately clasped his hands and said, "Dong Chen's family is so good. It's really not good."

Sorry, the business of our hotpot restaurant is so good right now, there are no empty seats left! "

Chen Xi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can wait."

Shopkeeper Song Ji smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and then left.

But Chen Xi didn't expect that he would have to wait for nearly an hour.

Shi Xia said angrily: "Girl, I just saw a few people who came later than us, and now they are all sitting at the table. The shopkeeper Song Ji clearly made us wait longer on purpose."

Chen Xi nodded, "Well, let's go."

Chen Xi and his two sisters had just stood up, but before they reached the gate, shopkeeper Song Ji appeared in front of them.

"Dong Chen, why are you leaving? Your number will be queued soon!"

Just as Shi Xia was about to retort, Chen Xi pulled her back and asked shopkeeper Song Ji with a smile: "How long will it be soon?"

Shopkeeper Song Ji looked hesitant: "It's hard to say. It might not take a quarter of an hour, or it might have to wait an hour."

"Really, forget it, come back another day!"

"Okay! Let's go slowly, Mr. Chen!"

After leaving the Songji Hot Pot Restaurant, Shi Xia began to curse the shopkeeper Songji: "Who the hell is he! He dares to make things difficult for us! Don't be angry, girl, wait until I put a sack on him some other time!"

Chen Xi laughed: "Don't argue with this kind of person!"

"Then should we go and inquire about the enemy? What will we do if he continues to ignore us?"

"Look at me!"

After Chen Xi went back, he found an employee from the processing factory to change his clothes and went to Songji Hot Pot Restaurant to eat. The employee sat in the private room and then opened the window to signal Chen Xi. Chen Xicai took Shi Xia and Shi Qiu with him. Go in.

As soon as shopkeeper Song Ji saw Chen Xi,

He immediately stopped in front of them: "Why are Dong Chen's family here again? We still have no place now!"

"It's okay. Shopkeeper Song, go ahead and get busy. Someone wants to treat me to a meal!"

Chen Xi left shopkeeper Song Ji behind and went up to the second floor. Along the way, she found that the decoration of Song Ji Hot Pot Restaurant was luxurious, more than one level higher than Chen Ji!

When Chen Xi was decorating and designing, his style was mainly simple and elegant. The most expensive flowers in the store were orchids and chrysanthemums, which only bloomed in season and were all common varieties.

As for the flowers and plants displayed in Songji Hot Pot Restaurant, some of them are not even in season. They are obviously specially cultivated in the greenhouse. There are also peacock feathers everywhere!

After Chen Xi entered the private room, the employees of the processing plant left, and Chen Xi began to taste Song Ji's hot pot.

As soon as she took the food, Chen Xi smiled. Then she took out the soup base from the pot and put it on a plate. She found that there were ginseng slices in it, which showed that the hot pot soup base was made of a lot of ingredients.

But just because the ingredients are expensive doesn't mean it tastes good. It tastes nothing but salty and spicy.

In short, when you come to Songji to eat hot pot, you just come to eat it in a "high-end" and "noble" way, but you don't come here to really enjoy the taste of hot pot!

Because the taste of the hot pot soup base is not good, even if the same meat is cooked, the taste is not as good as Chen Ji's. Moreover, Song Ji also has various fish balls and meat balls. Chen Xi tasted one of each and then felt relieved. Got it!

It seems that Chen Ji's secret recipe for taste has not been leaked. Although this Song Ji wants to compete with her, he is not as good as her in terms of the most fundamental taste. What else can be compared?

When Chen Xi left Song Ji, the shopkeeper of Song Ji walked up to her with a proud look.

"Chen Dongjia

, how about our Songji hotpot restaurant? Can it compare to Chen Kee? "

"Hahaha, when it comes to decoration, they are indeed different in their own way, but when it comes to taste, they are naturally not as good as our Chen Ji!"

Shopkeeper Song Ji didn't expect that Chen Xi would have such no room for words, so he snorted coldly: "Dong Chen, please don't be the one selling melons like Mrs. Wang, just brag about yourself!"

"Shopkeeper Song, if I am bragging or not, the guests will decide for themselves! Shopkeeper Song, please stay!"

After Chen Xi left Song Ji, the smile on his face fell slightly.

Although the taste of Songji is not as good as that of Chenji, with the support of Song County Magistrate, many people will still come to Songji for consumption!

Moreover, Song Ji's decoration is high-end, the private rooms are expensive, and the food is also expensive, so it will naturally make people feel that it is a higher level than Chen Ji!

Chen Xi snorted in his heart.

Isn't it just for decoration? Let me show you something new!

Chen Xi went back to find Master Ren and Master Su and told them his requirements. After seeing the design drawings, the two masters loved it and said that this was the most beautiful and magical decoration they had ever seen!

The private room on the second floor of Chen Kee Hot Pot Restaurant is off-limits. It is announced that it will be renovated and everyone is welcome to come and dine after the renovation.

The employees of Song Kee began to mention that Chen Xi came to Song Kee for dinner when chatting with the guests, and then started to decorate, saying that Chen Ji imitated Song Kee, but he was just imitating it!

Chen Xi didn’t explain it either. Anyway, as soon as the renovation was completed, everyone would know whether she had plagiarized or not!

The problem of the hot pot restaurant is solved, and the next step is the bun shop.

Chen Xi also asked people to buy steamed buns from Song Ji. The taste was not as good as Chen Ji's, but the appearance was the same as Chen Ji's.

There is little difference.

And Song Ji deliberately targeted it, so the buns were generously sized and filled with fillings.

Chen Xi did some calculations and found that Chen Ji could hardly make any money after deducting the workers' monthly wages and the store's rent.

It shows that Song Ji is just paying money to suppress Chen Ji!

Chen Xi said it didn't matter, she didn't only know how to make traditional steamed buns!

Not long after, Chenji Baozi Shop has new buns!

And the buns this time are very different from the previous buns!
