Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The middle-aged man thought his son was a foodie who could eat anything with relish. He was a little unconvinced by what he said, so he took a skewer from Liu Caixia's hand and ate it in one bite.

What he ate was rolled up cabbage, which was soaked in spicy water. But it was different from spicy hot pot, as it was served cold, so the spiciness was not so strong that it was unbearable.

After eating a bunch of them, I was still not satisfied. I took my son's hand and said unhappily, "Okay, come in with me!"

The waiter waiting at the door, upon seeing a customer coming in, immediately bowed and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the delicious Chuan Chuan Xiang..."

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a counter with two rows of six wooden basins placed side by side on the counter. A waiter saw the middle-aged man holding the child and started introducing them.

"This one has meat, this one has vegetables, and here's the price list! Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll prepare it for you. You can pay at the counter."

The middle-aged man looked at the price list written on the white paper on the wall, and the waiter began to read out the prices. "Ingredients: tofu is two cents a string, and other things are one cent for two strings. Meat and vegetables: meatballs are five cents a string, and other things are three cents a string."

The waiter read it aloud as he was afraid that some people might not be able to read. The prices are not high. The meatballs are expensive because the production process is too complicated. This is their specialty dish. There are three in a string and the meatballs are quite big, so it is normal that they are a bit more expensive.

"This meatball is bigger than the one for tasting outside!"

The waiter saw the man staring at the price list, not knowing what he was looking at. The meatballs were the most expensive, so he started to explain.

"Two skewers of white meatballs, two skewers of red meatballs, spicy or non-spicy. The other meat and vegetable dishes, spicy or non-spicy, one skewer each."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" The waiter quickly took out four bamboo tubes. The amount they ordered would definitely not fit in two bamboo tubes, so the four bamboo tubes were filled to the brim.

"Sir, please come this way. If you finish eating two bamboo tubes here, you can exchange for a skewer of vegetarian skewers. And so on."

"Okay, how much are these!"

The one who did the math was Liu Xiaolu. She was very good at mental arithmetic and figured it out in two strokes. "Sir, the total is ninety-two cents."

"Okay. We'll eat here. Send it over here for me."

The middle-aged man sat in the corner with his child. As more and more people came behind him, he was the first to find a seat at the edge.

After the two sat down, the little boy couldn't wait to pick up his bamboo tube containing the meat skewers, took out a string of meatballs and started eating them.

"Dad, these meatballs are so delicious. I don't know how they are made. They are so tender and fresh."

The man also took out a bunch of meatballs and ate them, nodding as he ate, "It's really delicious."

These two people are indeed not ordinary people. They are the sons of the Liu family in the county. His younger brother is also taking the exam this time. Today is the last day, so he brought his son here to take a look and wait for his younger brother.

His younger brother was good at studying, but his health was not very good. He sent servants to come every morning and afternoon to take him home in case he couldn't hold on.

He didn't have much to do today, so he brought his son here, and by the way, let his son feel the atmosphere of the exam. He himself is not good at studying, and the only one who can study well in the family is his younger brother. He currently has this one son, who has already started to learn, and he still wants his son to pass the exam and get a good reputation.

In his generation, at most, his family could produce a scholar, and no one had ever passed the imperial examination. If he passed the imperial examination, it would be a change of fortune for his family and bring honor to the ancestors.

"It's really good." His family also has restaurants, teahouses, and some other shops in the county. It can be said that their shops in the county account for at least one-third, if not half. Recently, he has also paid attention to the Weimei Braised Meat Shop and the Delicious Malatang. He has eaten there several times and the taste is indeed good, but he has not taken the small shop seriously.

Now, in just a few months, a new store has been opened, and he has to pay attention to this owner.

When he came in to eat just now, he also had a tentative intention.

When he came in, he was amazed by the unique decoration and business model, especially the girl who collected the money. She didn't even use an abacus and could figure out the bill after just one look.

You have to know that he has been doing business for more than ten years. Just now, when he followed the waiter to take the vegetables, he calculated the price one by one. The price quoted by the girl was exactly the same as his calculation.

There are more and more people around. Some people sit down to eat in the store, and some people from less well-off families buy one or two skewers to eat.

Only when you buy more than three skewers of meat will the meat be served in bamboo tubes. If you buy less, no bamboo tubes will be given and customers will just carry the meat and eat while walking.

“It’s really good!”

The man chatted with the person sitting next to him, "I've never eaten this kind of fresh food before. I don't know how the boss came up with this kind of fresh food?"

"Brother, I know this. The boss and his family fled from the northwest border. It is said that they are doing business at the border market over there. They must have brought fresh food from there!"

"Oh, I see. That makes sense."

On the first day of opening, everyone was very busy. Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong came to help, and the Malatang shop was handed over to Zhang Hu for full management.

From the opening in the morning until the afternoon, the six large pots prepared were quickly sold out, and they were replenished twice in the middle. It was originally a daily quantity, but all were sold out before 3 p.m.

The long queue of people selecting skewers and collecting money never dwindled until the last time they added dishes. Liu Caixia had no choice but to ask Lin Weizhong to speak to people outside the queue: "Thank you all for your support. We have prepared dishes for a whole day today, and there are not many left. Thank you for your support, guests at the end of the queue. I can only trouble you to come back tomorrow. I can register you. You don't have to queue tomorrow. I will prepare it for you in advance, and you can pay directly when the time comes. Is there anything you need?"

It's not that they don't want to add more dishes, they just don't have any extra dishes. We've been standing and busy all day, and everyone is tired. Let's just sell out the dishes, and everyone can take a break. Besides, we still have to prepare dishes for tomorrow.

"I……"

"And I……"

Those who registered were all men with little boys. If their children at home wanted to eat, they would make an appointment with their children to come early tomorrow and buy more for them to eat at home.

After Lin Weizhong registered these people, he stood at the end of the line and explained politely to the guests who wanted to queue up later.

Until the last customer bought all the leftovers from the previous customer, he kept saying to the previous customer: "Brother, please leave some for me, please leave some for me, don't take all! Thank you very much!"

After seeing off the last guest, Liu Xiaolu sat down on the bench and said, "I'm so tired..."

Liu Xiaolu was quite efficient in collecting the bills at first, but as more and more people came, Liu Caixia went to help her, and the two of them stood from beginning to end. "Hurry up and eat something and take a rest!"

"Everyone has worked hard today. Let's eat something and rest for half an hour before preparing tomorrow's dishes!"

"Okay, boss."

After everyone left, Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia returned to the house over at Malatang, carrying the wooden box containing the money.
