The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Wei Shiyi took Xiao Lin out of the restaurants with the money and went to buy fish in those restaurants.However, Wei Shiyi forgot that he frequently appeared in Li's Restaurant, and the recent business of Li's Restaurant was very good. Those restaurants were eager to see Li's Restaurant go wrong, so why would they sell fish to Wei Shiyi.

As soon as those people saw Wei Shiyi's face, they recognized him. After recognizing him, those who had thought of selling them a piece or two regretted not selling them.

Wei Shiyi hadn't figured it out at the first house, but after going through a few more houses, he could figure it out.Moreover, those restaurants only said a few words back and forth to prevaricate him.

"I'm sorry, our fish is just enough to eat."

"Xiao Langjun, what a coincidence, we didn't buy any fish today."

"We've already killed the fish, so it's not appropriate to sell it to you again. Do you think this makes sense?"

The problem is that Wei Shiyi clearly smelled fishy, ​​and some people even had fish scales on their hands.Wei Shiyi thought that Uncle Li would be recognized, so he didn't ask Uncle Li to come out to buy fish just now, but he didn't think that he would be recognized as well, and it was fine to be recognized, and no restaurant was willing to sell fish to them .

Although there is a competitive relationship between restaurants, they are not so exclusive.

Coming out of a restaurant again, Wei Shiyi's expression finally couldn't help but change.Xiao Lin watched from the side, comforting Wei Shiyi that this is normal.After hearing this, Wei Shiyi could only force himself to calm down.

In fact, Xiao Lin was also very anxious on the side. He suggested: "Brother Shi, why don't we go to ordinary people's homes to buy fish, so that we won't be rejected."

After hearing this, Wei Shiyi shook his head slightly, "This won't work, it's too slow, we need a lot of fish, and we'll have to find them one by one."

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but the efficiency is too slow, and fish must be a necessity for ordinary people to buy, so it won't be so easy to sell them to them.Restaurants are different. Generally, restaurants buy a lot of fish, and it is easy to even out a dozen or a few fish at a time.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he became even more anxious, and he turned around in circles, "Then what should we do?"

Looking at Xiao Lin who was anxious beside him, an idea suddenly popped up in Wei Shiyi's mind. He looked Xiao Lin up and down and said, "Xiao Lin, why don't you try it alone next time."

He can be recognized, Xiao Lin is just a guy, so it shouldn't be easy to be recognized like that.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin shook his head again and again and said, "Brother Shi, this is impossible."

It turned out that not only Wei Shiyi was easy to be recognized, but also the clerks of Li's Restaurant were easy to be recognized. The business of Li's Restaurant became prosperous, and there were many people staring at Li's Restaurant. Tan, so not only Wei Shiyi, but also the buddy was clearly remembered.

They are still relatively light, and if the chef and the assistants in the kitchen come out, they will be easily recognized.

Wei Shiyi: "..."

After being silent for a while, Wei Shiyi said again: "Then let's go a little further to buy fish and try it?" The ones that are close will not work, but those that are far away should be able to try. Not all restaurants know about Li's Restaurant. So famous.

Xiao Lin nodded his head now, and said with a smile: "Okay, I think we can try it, but we have to watch the time, if it is slow, we will not be able to catch up with the food in the store."

This is of course.

Next, Wei Shiyi and Xiao Lin split up, and each took a bucket and ran to a restaurant in the distance to buy fish.They ran straight out of the street where Li's restaurant was located, and went to a further street to find the restaurant to buy fish.

This time Wei Shiyi went better than before, and all the restaurants he found gave him a fish or two.After getting to the back, Wei Shiyi found that he couldn't even lift the bucket, so he had to rent a cart to put the bucket on it and push it around.

In the end, when Wei Shiyi finished shopping, he found that he had bought nearly twenty fish in total, which was less than half of the fish they bought back.He looked up at the sky above his head. Time was running out. He pushed the fish and turned around and ran towards the southbound street. If there is not enough, it is not enough. These fish will be used for the time being.

Wei Shiyi didn't buy enough fish here, and neither did Xiao Lin's.Xiao Lin asked Wei Shiyi with a bitter face, "Brother Shi, what should we do?"

What can be done?Just do it!

Wei Shiyi said: "Xiao Lin, let's take these fish back first, and think about it later if there are not enough fish."

Li Sanshu's restaurant, after Wei Shiyi left, Uncle Li opened the door to let all the outside guests in, and also asked the chef to hurry up to buy vegetables and ordinary meat from the vegetable market that hadn't left yet.Thinking that the grilled fish on the iron plate is gone, there is no way to have the spicy hot pot.

Fortunately, the guests who came at ten o'clock were for breakfast, but not for lunch, so they could still handle it.

But time passed by minute by minute, the sun above the head was getting higher and higher, and more and more guests came into the restaurant. These guests were not breakfast eaters, but lunch eaters. Both Uncle Li and the chef were worried To the throat.

As there were more and more guests in the lobby, Uncle Li's face was not happy, but anxious.Finally, when the first customer didn't order the spicy hot pot, but asked about a new dish with a discount, the expression on Uncle Li's face changed.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that your restaurant has launched new dishes and offers discounts, is it true?" This is a new guest.

Uncle Li responded with a smile: "Yes."

The guest smiled and said, "Then bring me a grilled fish on an iron plate. It's bigger. I like it."

Uncle Li's mouth was bitter. He looked at Xiao Fang, the kitchen assistant, who shook his head slightly at him. He was determined to tell the guests that there might be no fish today, but before he could open his mouth, another person in the kitchen Assistant Xiao Chen ran out and dragged him away.

While pulling Sanshu Li away, Xiao Chen said, "Shopkeeper, why don't we just eat these fish like this."

Uncle Li didn't seem to hear clearly, his eyes widened slightly, and he asked again reflexively, "Say it again?"

Xiao Chen said as if he didn't notice it: "These fish just died last night. I just smelled it and it didn't taste good. Let's do it this way."

"Shut up!" Uncle Li suddenly yelled, "Xiao Chen, the guests who come to our restaurant trust us to eat, these fish are dead, how can you make them for others to eat!"

Uncle Li's voice became louder, and everyone in the kitchen in the lobby heard it. The chef ran out of the kitchen, pulled Uncle Li closer to the kitchen, and asked in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, what's going on? Calm down first."

It's all right if there is no fish in the restaurant, why are they still arguing now?The chef dared to set up a pot of spicy hot pot, and asked Xiao Fang to bring out the spicy hot pot.

"How can I get rid of this anger!" Uncle Li's chest heaved and he said angrily, "Old Fang, Xiao Chen said just now that he made dead fish for the guest officials to eat, what a big deal it is!"

What?Lao Fang was also dumbfounded. He looked sideways at Xiao Chen, and asked incredulously, "Xiao Chen, did you really say that?"

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, nodded with a straight face and said: "Well, these fish are still good, and they have no smell. They are still fresh and can be eaten. There are many seasonings for grilled fish, and the taste is strong. Even if the fish is slightly I can't taste it at all."

After hearing this, Lao Fang had a look of disbelief.

Xiao Chen's expression is too upright, completely different from his usual lively appearance, if he is not standing here, if his face is not known to them, Lao Fang will almost doubt the young man in front of him Was it the man he had known all along.

When he pulled Xiao Chen, he beat and scolded at the same time, scolding Xiao Chen when he thought so, and where did all the things he taught on weekdays go.The grilled fish is heavily seasoned to suppress the fishy smell and make the fish taste better, not to suppress the smell of dead fish.

Xiao Chen is only thirteen or fourteen years old. In ancient times, he was a teacher for a day and a father for life. Xiao Chen called Lao Fang a master, which was equivalent to his father.At this time, he was beaten by the chef, and his tears couldn't hold back.

He cried while shedding tears, "If we don't do this, our hard work these days will be in vain. The event we have prepared for so long is gone! Without the event, why would guests come to our restaurant for dinner? ! In the eyes of those guests, our restaurant is lying!"

"Our fish is obviously good. It was alive and kicking last night, but it was killed by someone this morning. We shouldn't blame us!" Xiao Chen continued to cry with red eyes, "It's not our guests who eat dead fish. It's wrong, it's the fault of those wine family who are jealous of us."

"Without the restaurant, what should we do? What should we do if the guests don't come to eat with us?"

Xiao Chen hiccupped from crying, and Lao Fang couldn't go on beating after listening to Xiao Chen's words, his straight body was slightly bent.

The old house is middle-aged and still young. They all sat up with Li's restaurant. They grew up from scratch, experienced the withering period when other restaurants competed for business, and also experienced the new food that Wei Shiyi brought. During the outbreak of activities, it can be said that it has experienced a lot.

However, at this time, they really didn't know what to do.Without fish, their restaurant is lying and losing credibility, but if they use dead fish, their restaurant's purpose will be lost.

In both cases, they cannot face it.

At this moment, Uncle Li's voice sounded. After the old house taught Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen cried about this matter, his mood has stabilized a lot.He said, "Wait, let's wait!"

"Wait?" Lao Fang repeated unconsciously.

Uncle Li San said: "Yes, Brother Shi said he could bring the fish back, so we believe he can bring the fish back."

Hearing this, Lao Fang and Xiao Chen were stunned, looked at each other, and nodded fiercely.The kitchen couldn't cook grilled fish on a hot plate, but he wanted to continue making spicy pots, so Uncle Li asked Lao Fang and Xiao Chen to work in the kitchen, while he brought another waiter to keep people in the front lobby.

"Guest officer, our fish is being processed and it's not ready yet. How about you order other dishes and eat first, and we'll serve you the grilled fish on the iron plate later." Uncle Li San asked the guest's opinion honestly.

What the guests want to eat here is grilled fish on an iron plate. This is a new dish, so there is no harm in waiting a little longer, so they nodded and said, "Yes."

This guest is persuaded, and other guests are also easy to persuade.The main reason is that Uncle Li is honest and honest, and the food he cooks is delicious and clean, so all the guests can still be in the first class.

Of course, the more important thing is that these people are foodies. Since it is food, it doesn't matter if there are so many.

Uncle Li and the waiter were comforting the guests at the restaurant, but they saw a person standing up at the table next to him unsteadily, and said with a grumpy expression: "Guest officers, don't be fooled by the people in the Li's restaurant! The grilled fish here are all dead fish, do you dare to eat these fish?!"
