Jiangyu Mufeng

Although there were quite a few customers coming and going, Du Jianfeng didn't stay open for too long, and the customers who came one after another were stopped by him on the grounds that "today's ingredients are exhausted".Firstly, everyone was tired after a busy day, and secondly, he wanted to save some time to re-plan the staff transfer in the store.

So Du Jianfeng cooked a table of dishes for everyone to have dinner, and said: "Everyone is tired today, and that's my fault. I didn't expect the business to be so good at first, so I didn't prepare so many people, but now I want to It's too late to find someone, the main reason is that I can't find a reliable and trustworthy person for a while."

Wang Jun pondered for a while, and said: "How about I call my younger brother and sister over, they are 16 years old and can do things, my mother is in good health now, and she doesn't need someone at home to accompany her every day, so Aqiu and the others can also help each other." So hard."

Du Jianfeng also thought it was okay when he heard it. Wang Jun's younger siblings are twins, and they are usually very diligent at home and quick to do things. He is naturally willing to let them come over.

"That's alright, Xiaoyu and I won't go back to the village today, you can tell my family for me." Du Jianfeng said: "By the way, let Huang Zhiqiang come to the shop tomorrow, I told him to cook, there are only two of us in the back kitchen Not enough either."

"Okay." After everyone answered, they helped wash the dishes and packed their things before going home. Du Jianfeng and Mu Jiangyu didn't go back to the village, but stayed in the backyard directly. Anyway, it's all tidy and tidy here, which is convenient .

Of course, the people who work together are people worthy of Du Jianfeng's trust, but some things are hard to say in front of them. At this moment, they are the only couple, so Du Jianfeng asked Mu Jiangyu: "Today we accept How much?"

Mu Jiangyu said happily: "Two liang of silver and 670 five Wen!"

"That's quite a lot." Du Jianfeng said: "But there is also an ups and downs every day, we treat it as two taels of silver, and the rest is regarded as ups and downs. We work six days a month and take one day off. One month is business 27 God, that is, about 54 taels of silver can be earned."

"That's a lot!" Mu Jiangyu said.

"But it's just our income, not expenses." Du Jianfeng pinched Mu Jiangyu's face, and said, "The wages we offer are one tael and five hundred cash per person, and there will be three more people tomorrow. We hired a total of seven people, so the monthly wages are ten taels and five hundred taels, and the rent is eight taels. The ingredients, seasonings and firewood we buy add up to about 15 taels, and here it is almost 34 taels, so The money we can earn a month is almost 20 taels."

This is already a sky-high price for Mu Jiangyu, so he was naturally very happy, rolling around with Du Jianfeng in his arms, and said, "We make a lot of money! In the future, our baby will buy him whatever he wants."

Du Jianfeng felt a little sad when he heard this.He knew that Mu Jiangyu didn't have a good childhood. Thinking of this, he gently put his arms around Mu Jiangyu, kissed him on the forehead, nose and mouth, and then said: "You are also my baby, you You can buy whatever you want, anyway, all our money is in your hands."

Mu Jiangyu hugged Du Jianfeng, wishing he could stick his whole body on him, he was sticky for a while before saying: "I only want my husband, nothing else."

Du Jianfeng was already used to his clinginess, he just let him hug him restlessly in his arms, and finally fell asleep slowly when he was tired.

Du Jianfeng got up before dawn the next day. He picked the bean sprouts soaking in the cellar and put them in a basket, then went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Wang Jun's younger brother, Wang Lin, and younger sisters, Wang Chen and Huang Zhiqiang, also came. Seeing that Du Jianfeng had already started to work, Wang Jun felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Let's just wait for us to do these things."

"It's so particular, I get up early and do it first." Du Jianfeng smiled and said.

Wang Lin and Wang Chen were not the kind of people who needed to be ordered, and immediately started tidying the tables and chairs, while Wang Jun and Huang Zhiqiang followed Du Jianfeng to the back kitchen to prepare ingredients.Seeing that there were enough people in the front hall, Huang Qiu followed Wang Jun to the back kitchen. Although he didn't know how to cook, he still knew how to cut and wash vegetables.

Seeing him coming in, Wang Jun said, "It's cold, I'll wash the vegetables, and you can cut them after washing."

"En." Huang Qiu saw that Wang Jun cared about him so much, his heart was very sweet, and he did things a little more briskly.

Seeing this, Du Jianfeng joked, "When will we get married?"

Huang Qiu's face turned red in an instant, Wang Jun was also a little embarrassed, but he still smiled and said: "I plan to take advantage of the rest day to formally propose marriage, and let the elders in the family decide on the date of marriage."

"Okay." Du Jianfeng said: "It's a great thing. By the way, Huang Qiu, remember to tell them when you go out later. From now on, your brother will be in charge of the private room upstairs, although it should be easier to be in charge of the private room. I asked you or Wang Chen to come, but the private room is closed after all, and most of the people who eat are men, so it is not convenient for you."

"Okay." Huang Qiu agreed, and it was dawn at this time, and Mu Jiangyu had already woken up, cleaning the front desk in front of the shop.

Generally, there are not many dishes for dinner in the morning. Everyone is in a hurry to go to work or go to work early in the morning, and they will choose steamed buns or other things to fill their stomachs. Du Jianfeng’s busy day here is lunch and dinner. The morning is still very leisurely. A few people prepare After preparing the ingredients, they sat in the lobby. Du Jianfeng made something for everyone to have breakfast, and everyone began to work while waiting for the guests to come.

There were not many customers in the morning, but it was not without. About [-] people came here to have breakfast one after another, and then left with the pastries, saying that they could save a meal at noon.

At noon, there will be more people coming, especially after it opened for a day yesterday, and those who have eaten there have publicized everywhere, there are more people coming today. Fortunately, Du Jianfeng asked Wang Jun to bring people here, otherwise we would not know today How busy you are.

Du Jianfeng also knew that it was impossible to think of all the problems at the beginning, and he had to explore slowly in practice. Sure enough, all the problems surfaced in practice.There were too many guests, and when the people in front notified the back kitchen, it was very confusing. One person said to fry this dish, and the other said to fry that dish. If Du Jianfeng was not thoughtful, there would be many mistakes in such a chaotic situation.Du Jianfeng thought about it, and decided to teach them how to read and write every morning. They don't need to recognize all the characters, as long as they can recognize the menu.

Every morning Du Jianfeng would teach them how to read, and then write menus and numbers. Their shop has a large area. The downstairs table is a rectangular table for six people. There are [-] tables in total. There are four large private rooms and four small rooms upstairs. In the private room, the large private room can accommodate eight people, while the small private room can only seat four people.

Du Jianfeng asked Huang Qiu downstairs to be in charge of the seven tables on the far left, Wang Lin to be in charge of the seven tables in the middle, and Wang Chen to be in charge of the six tables on the far right.He bought paper and pens, and put a small basket under each table to put the paper and pens in, so that when guests came, they would record the dishes ordered by the guests and send them to the kitchen. Wang Lin gave Du Jianfeng, Wang Lin Chen's order was given to Huang Zhiqiang, Huang Qiu's order was naturally given to Wang Jun, and the list in the private room upstairs was put aside separately, and they cooked for them in order.When the dishes are ready, they will put the list on the table of the guests, and then write the total price, so that when paying, they save the need to report the name of the dish and count the money.

In this way, everyone has their own clear field, and things are done more efficiently. When customers check out, they only need to hand over the bill to Mu Jiangyu. It is clear at a glance how much to pay. Accounts, doing so serves multiple purposes.

In the process of opening a store, problems were discovered and solved one after another, and finally got on the right track. This is also a different kind of growth.

Day by day, the weather has officially warmed up, and the shop is completely on track. The reputation of their Du family restaurant has spread, and even people from neighboring towns will come here to have a meal.

This morning, there were not many people. Seeing that there was not much meat left, Du Jianfeng told everyone in the shop that he would go to the butcher to order meat for the next month and let them watch. Anyway, there were not many people in the morning. It doesn't matter that he's not here.

After hearing this, everyone naturally agreed that there were only two tables of guests eating at the moment, and the shop was relatively quiet, and the few people who were not busy were all sitting and talking, Huang Qiu went to help Mu Jiangyu tidy up the front desk if he had nothing to do.

The atmosphere inside the shop was pretty good, so no one noticed the figure outside the shop.

The person outside was Mu Jiangyu's father, Mu Youcai. He had spent all the money he had saved these days. During the Chinese New Year, he sold all the New Year's gifts Du Jianfeng brought to others in exchange for money to gamble. Now he is penniless. With no money, I came to the town to find something to do.He has never been to any restaurant to eat, and he doesn't care where new restaurants are opened, and he can't read, so even if he saw the plaque of "Du's Restaurant", he would not be moved, but he passed by that restaurant. The shop, but saw Mu Jiangyu who was collecting money.

Mu Youcai's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't walk immediately, he looked around, then ran to a caramel stall diagonally opposite the restaurant, and asked the person, "When did the restaurant opposite open? "

"It's been almost two months." The man said: "Business is good, I've eaten there too, it's delicious, I go there at least four times a month, it's so delicious!"

After hearing this, Mu Youcai said in his heart that you, Mu Jiangyu, are really promising!He originally thought that Du Jianfeng really just got a little money from hunting, but he didn't expect that they had such a big business in the town.Mu Youcai was so angry that he rushed into the shop, grabbed Mu Jiangyu's clothes and yelled, "You unfilial son! Your father is starving to death, and you are still here ignoring him!"

Mu Jiangyu was taken aback by his sudden arrival. After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Mu Youcai, he became even more frightened. He was beaten by Mu Youcai since he was a child and grew up. He really loved Mu Youcai from the bottom of his heart. fear.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" Mu Jiangyu struggled for a while, but Mu Youcai had been working outside all year round, so he still had some strength, and Mu Jiangyu couldn't break free for a while, so he broke his heart, Using the self-defense technique Du Jianfeng taught him, he forced Mu Youcai back in an instant.

Mu Youcai couldn't believe that the person who pushed him away just now was the weakest and most useless pair in his eyes. Now that he looked over carefully, he realized that Mu Jiangyu had grown a lot taller, and he wasn't so tall. Thin and weak, if it weren't for the red mole between his eyebrows, he would be no different from an ordinary boy.

At this time, other people in the store also came over. Huang Sheng was very strong, and he didn't know Mu Youcai. The guests who were eating at several tables shouted loudly: "It's unreasonable! I'm starving to death, and my son doesn't care about it! Unfilial son! How can you come to such an unfilial son's shop!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him. Mu Jiangyu blushed so anxiously that he was afraid of affecting the business of the store, and said, "What are you going to do!"

Mu Youcai saw him like that, and said, "Give me ten taels of silver, and I promise to leave immediately without saying anything!"

Huang Sheng grabbed Mu Youcai's collar, and said, "You fucking want so much money. It's a beautiful idea. Dream it! Let me ask you, do you want to get out by yourself or I will send you out!"

Mu Youcai ran to the door and yelled loudly. People who heard the sound on the street gathered around and pointed at the store. It was Mu Jiangyu's father who was helpless.

Mu Jiangyu pulled Mu Youcai in with red eyes, cried and gave him five taels of silver, and said to him: "We spent a lot on renting the shop and paying the wages, and that's all for now, I beg you you go!"

Mu Youcai weighed the money and felt satisfied, mainly because he knew that Mu Jiangyu would not disobey him, let alone ignore the face of his shop, this trick worked for him, he smiled and said: "Then I'll come next time, you are my son, and I don't necessarily want to ruin your reputation, if the money is paid out earlier, it will be enough."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door and said loudly: "Let's go, my son is quite filial. There was just a quarrel just now, so there is nothing to see."

Mu Jiangyu was so angry that he cried, Huang Qiu sighed, and patted Mu Jiangyu on the back. If someone else Huang Sheng drove him out, he would be kicked out. The main reason is that he is really Mu Jiangyu's father, and it's not good to spread the word.

When Du Jianfeng came back, he saw Mu Jiangyu sitting there with red eyes. There were guests eating in twos and threes in the hall, but all of them were frowning. Du Jianfeng looked around and asked, "What happened?" ?”

Everyone looked at Mu Jiangyu. After all, this is a family matter, and it is not easy for others to get involved.Looking at the eyes of everyone, Du Jianfeng understood that there was something wrong with Mu Jiangyu, so he walked up to Mu Jiangyu and said softly: "Xiaoyu, your husband is here, don't be afraid, if something happens, tell him."

As soon as he heard Du Jianfeng's voice, Mu Jiangyu couldn't help it, choked up and said, "Husband, I'm sorry, I didn't guard the shop properly."

"Don't be afraid, Husband doesn't blame you." Du Jianfeng patted Mu Jiangyu on the back, and said, "It's okay, tell Husband what's wrong?"

Mu Jiangyu stabilized his mood, and then said: "Mu Youcai came just now, yelling at the door of the store, threatening me to ask me for money, otherwise he will tell people everywhere that we are not filial and ask people not to come to our store Son, I just... I gave him five taels of silver..."

Du Jianfeng wanted to frown when he heard it, but he was afraid that Mu Jiangyu would feel uncomfortable, so he tried not to frown, and continued: "It's okay, my husband will solve this matter, you can collect money here at ease, it's a trivial matter, don't take it to heart .”

Du Jianfeng was Mu Jiangyu's sense of security. When Du Jianfeng came, Mu Jiangyu didn't panic anymore, but he still felt sorry for the money they earned and just gave it away.

After appeasing Mu Jiangyu, Du Jianfeng was thinking in his heart, once he gave the money and let the other party taste the sweetness, then it would be a bottomless pit, not to mention that they can earn 20 taels a month, even if they can earn 200 taels, they will fall in love Relatives who gamble can't stand it, and this hidden danger must be removed as soon as possible.

In the evening, Du Jianfeng asked Mu Jiangyu to lock the door and rest first. He said he still had some goods to order and went out. As soon as he went out, he went straight to the gambling house. The people in the gambling shop saw him and recognized him as Du Ji His boss thought he was a big customer, so he warmly received him, but Du Jianfeng said: "Please trouble me, brother, I want to meet your boss."

"Meet the boss? This..." The man said: "If nothing happened, our boss usually doesn't see anyone."

Du Jianfeng took out some broken silver and stuffed it to him, saying: "Please trouble brother."

The man held the broken silver, and after a while, said: "Okay, just wait a moment."

Du Jianfeng waited downstairs for almost a cup of tea, and the man came to invite him.The man took him to the door of a room on the third floor and left. Du Jianfeng knocked on the door, and someone inside said, "Come in."

Du Jianfeng opened the door and went in, and saw two people inside, a man who looked about 50 or [-] years old, and a servant who looked like a housekeeper.Du Jianfeng knew that the person sitting there was the owner of the gambling shop, so he cupped his hands and said, "Du Jianfeng, I'm here today to bother you uninvited, and I hope Haihan."

"What's the matter with you?" the man asked.

Du Jianfeng smiled and said: "I have a new way to play, not just simply throwing dice. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh? Tell me." The man put down his tea and said.

Du Jianfeng asked people to prepare cardboard to make it look like a modern playing card, but "JQKA" used spring, summer, autumn and winter instead, taught the casino owner how to play, and taught him how to play cards. The person who looked like a butler really became interested, and they played for nearly an hour and a half before they stopped.

"How did you come up with it?" the man asked.

"Don't ask me that, I just want to know if you are interested in investing this in your casino." Du Jianfeng said.

"Let's make a price." The man said.

"Refreshing." Du Jianfeng said: "How much do you think you can pay?"

"50 taels, is that okay?"

Du Jianfeng smiled and said, "I don't want any money, but I have one request."

"Say."

Du Jianfeng stood up and said, "Your casino often comes to a man named Mu Youcai. I want his two legs."
