I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Ten days have passed since the day I went to Cuijiazhai, and the hot pot restaurant is gradually getting on the right track.

Sinan's "hunger marketing" strategy really worked, and the hard-to-earn reputation of "the No. [-] hot pot restaurant in the Song Dynasty" spread. No matter ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they tried their best to come to check in.

Some people even entrusted their relationship to Zhong Jiang, and Zhong Jiang joked: "I've been in the Imperial City Division all these years, and my popularity has never been so good!"

Speaking of which, he was a blessing in disguise. Now that he has the salary from the Yumajian, he only needs to go to order a meal in the morning and evening, and it will not affect the work of the delivery team in the slightest.

The Yumajian itself is a "pension office", and the Ministry of Officials and Yushitai have always turned a blind eye to them.

Today is the "half-working day" once every ten days for hot pot restaurants. On this day, the amount of dishes is halved, and the number of customers is also halved.Firstly, it is to let the employees have a rest day, and secondly, Erlang has a rest every ten days, and Sinan will go to Ruoshui Academy to pick him up.

At the second quarter of the eighth day, Sinan opened the store door, and Cui Shi had already arrived. The delivery team was working part-time as a cleaner, cleaning the tables, mopping the floor, dusting, and keeping the already clean house spotless.

Right at that moment, the sound of washing and chopping vegetables came from the kitchen. Sinan was cooking soup on the main stove, while three helpers were guarding the red and white tables and cutting side dishes.

Among them was a little Douding, who was only a little taller than the soup pot, but stepped on a stool, with a sullen face, took a big long-handled spoon, and stirred it intently.

This little guy is Erdou.

The last time Erdou made a wish with a copper coin, Er Dou said he wanted to learn how to make hot pot, and Sinan took it seriously, and called him to the back kitchen the next day to cut vegetables, side dishes, make soup, and teach him without reservation.

Perhaps because of his true love, the little guy actually learned it well-you know, before that, asking him to practice big characters was like killing him.

Ten days later, Erdou can already make the simplest sweet pot bottom by himself.

Si Nan stood beside him, giving pointers from time to time.

Er Dou solemnly nods his head every time, and earnestly obeys.

The cooks all looked envious, they only hoped that one day they would fall into Sinan's eyes and become his official apprentice.

The broth is ready, the side dishes are washed, and the orders from Yixin Shushu and Ruoshui Academy are put on the pot, and they can rest for an hour.

Young and old sat around the table, drinking tea, bragging, and complaining about the strange guests they met the day before.

From time to time, the older man said something about "a loss is a blessing". Sinan took the opportunity to instill some professional skills, and while laughing and laughing, it not only enhanced the relationship, but also solved the problem.

At this time, the bell of Daxiangguo Temple rang, the baffle of Si's hotpot restaurant was removed, the back door opened, and the delivery team was ready.

At this time, the people in Yutang Lane would walk out of their homes and watch around with a smile on their face.

Zhong Jiang was dressed in a black outfit and was leading the way on a tall horse. Ten energetic young men were riding bicycles and carrying takeaway buckets, following up vigorously.

Seeing the cute children, the boys rang the iron bell in front of the car, and there was a crisp sound of "jingle bell", which made the children clap their hands happily.

This is what they learned from Sinan.

Whenever an old man or a child came to rest in front of the store, as long as Sinan saw it, he would stuff it with a handful of preserved fruits or give him a bunch of meatballs.

Si Nan said, this is called popularity.

The boys watched him every day, and unknowingly learned his kindness to the elderly and children.

The bell rang, the front door opened, and the round lattice windows were also erected.

Open the door.

The locust tree is wearing a light blue uniform with clouds engraved on it, like a small green pine, standing upright at the door, bending over and bowing when guests come in: "Welcome!"

Not long after, Si's Hot Pot Restaurant was bustling with activity.

Yu Meiren booked the private room two days in advance, and said that she would come in person to help Sinan do publicity.

Before getting out of the car, Yu Meiren whispered to the maid expectantly: "I really want to see how Mr. Si Lang has cleaned up this shop."

The maid Xiao'e curled her lips, "How good can it be? I'm tired of going to places like Fanlou and Fengyilou in the capital, why can't it compare to this small restaurant?"

Yu Meiren smiled and gave her a blank look, "You, Bai taught you all these years, and you still can't see what Si Lang-jun is capable of."

Xiao'e puffed up her face, "Every time Mr. Si Lang is mentioned, everyone will scold me. I want to see how good this Si's hot pot restaurant is!"

Before entering the store, she had the idea of ​​being critical, and after entering the store for a look, she couldn't even walk.

There is no sense of clutter in the huge hall. Instead, it is divided into four areas by small hollow screens. Each area has six large tables and six small tables. In the middle is a small table.

There are three large buckets on the stage, which are written with mung bean soup, iced soy milk, and warm boiled water, and you can drink them for free.

At noon, the store was already full of people.

The sun was so hot outside that it was dizzy, but it became cool after entering the store, as if there was a cool breeze blowing.

Xiao'e looked around curiously, and found that there were two "wooden shelves" one person tall on each of the four feet of the store.

Someone sat in the back and stepped on it, the big head on the wooden frame hummed and turned, and then gusts of cool wind blew.

Xiao'e was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she ran away.

Not only her, but Poppy was also surprised, "What is this?"

"Back to sister, this is a fan, for fanning the wind." The cub walked over in a small red uniform, and smiled at the poppies with his little face up.

"This is the fan, it's really amazing!" Yu Meiren smiled sweetly, surprising many people's eyes.

Xiao Zai stood in front of her, pretending to be protective, "Sister, boy, let's take you to the private room!"

"I'm sorry to bother you." Poppy patted the little knob on his head, and took the initiative to hold his little hand.

Xiao Zai trembled slightly, then raised his face and smiled sweetly, "My sister is kind and kind, Xiao Zai likes her."

Yu Meiren couldn't help laughing, "You little bastards, all of you were brought down by Mr. Si Lang!"

The cub tilted his head, looking cute and cute.

Poppy was in a good mood, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

As for Xiao'e, she didn't know where to look.

The store is busy here, and the shadow of Si's Hot Pot Restaurant is still everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Sinan divided the store's business into two parts, one part is mainly engaged in copper hot pot and various drinks, which are eaten in the store; the other part is small hot pot and various cold skewers, mainly for takeaway.

Copper hot pots are limited, but small hot pots are not.

The small hot pot is aimed at hundreds of thousands of people in Bianjing. It seems inconspicuous, but it actually makes small profits but sells well, and it earns a lot of money in the long run.

When the takeaway team came back from Ruoshui Academy, they didn't go back directly to the store, but dispersed and rode bicycles through the streets and alleys of Bianjing.

At first, it was necessary to yell a few times, but after a long time, the yelling was no longer necessary. As long as the neighbors heard the crisp sound of "jingling bells", they knew that the small hot pot was coming.

At this time, if someone wants to order hot pot or skewers, he will call out in the alley, explain the location and the number of servings, and someone will deliver it in a short time.

Sinan didn't ask for a deposit, and most of the people felt that way.

In the beginning, there were rogues who were blind for fun, and sent them without paying. Tang Xuan did not need to do anything at all, as long as he carried the bow and turned around, it scared the group of people into nightmares for three days and three nights.

Since then, no one dared to make fun of Si's Hot Pot Restaurant.

"Security Captain", due diligence.

After noon, after seeing off the last table of guests, Sinan ran out from the back kitchen, carrying a large bowl of smoothies.

The smoothie is mixed with various fruits, which is cool and sweet. After taking a bite, the heat in the whole body will disappear immediately.

The people working in the shop now, besides those from Cuijiazhai, were also introduced by the tooth shop. They were not familiar with them at first, so they were embarrassed to eat such precious things.

Now that they understand Si Nan's temper, a group of young men not only rushed to eat, but also said with a playful smile: "Thank you, my boss."

Si Nan smiled and said, "Don't thank me, thank our second boss, these ice cubes are all brought from his house."

Everyone dared to joke with Sinan, but when they met Tang Xuan, they were immediately frightened, and they all stuck their heads in silence.

Si Nan wondered, Xiao Xuanxuan is pretty good, he has never lost his temper once, so why are you so afraid of him?

Huaishu secretly complained: That's right for you!

Si Nan turned his attention to him, "After this month, you guys won't be able to stay in the store anymore. You should practice your handwriting at home. When your writing is almost done, I'll go tell Mr. Xu Shan to let you enter the academy."

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Huaishu and Xiaozai felt bitter.

Especially two beans.

He was born with a dull head and didn't like studying, so what kind of academy did he go to!

Isn't it delicious to cook hot pot?

However, I only dare to think secretly in my heart, if the master wants them to go, then let's go, even if my brain doesn't like to study...

After that, it's everyone's favorite part-payment of wages!

There are two types of employees in the store, one is hourly workers and the other is regular workers, and the wages are paid every ten days.

Sinan used to work "incognito" in his own hot pot city, eating and living with the employees, and especially understood their hard work and demands. Therefore, besides the ingredients, the second thing he will not be stingy about is the salary of the employees.

Even if I earn less and make everyone happy, I can have a good job appearance, and the store will become more and more prosperous. In fact, it is a virtuous circle.

When receiving the salary, everyone was a little embarrassed, especially Cui Shi, he didn't want to make money at all, he just came to help, he refused for a long time, and finally Tang Xuan sent a message, and he accepted it embarrassingly.

"What's this called!" Cui Shi grimaced and shook his head again and again, it didn't look like getting money at all, but like losing money.

Simon just laughed.

A few brats also have money to take.

Sinan didn't hesitate at all, just like other employees, he packed strings of copper coins in small red bags and put them in their hands one by one.

This process has a sense of ritual, and the little ones were so excited that they kept holding it, reluctant to let it go.

This is not the first time they have made money, but it is the first time they can safely put it in their pockets.

After eating in the store, I have to go home to take a shower, change clothes, and then go to Ruoshui Academy to pick up Erlang.

The afternoon sun was shining, Sinan rode a small tricycle, turned left and right, and went straight to the shade of the trees.

Some sections of the road were not shady, so he quickly rode up or down twice, and rushed over in a hurry, as if he was afraid of melting himself in the sun.

Tang Xuan was riding a horse. He was originally walking on the inner side of the horse lane. Seeing him like this, he smiled and changed to the outside.

Both the man and the horse were tall, and the shadow cast by them immediately covered Si Nan.

Si Nan was happy, let go of the handlebars, and leaned towards Tang Xuan with a crooked body.

Tang Xuan nodded his forehead, "Keep an eye on the road."

Si Nan grinned: "What is the road? Don't look at it. I want to 'rely on the king of the county to enjoy the cool'."

Tang Xuan sighed softly, had no choice but to wrap the rein on the handlebars and help him up.

What else?

Can only pamper.
