Chapter 26 One sentence determines its life and death? 【Ask for a reward】
Wei Han is a vigorous and resolute person in his work.
He endured for several days in a row, and directly perfected his medicinal diet formula to the extreme.
Then, taking advantage of the middle of every month when the pharmacy pays out routine money and is on holiday, I took my own 1 tael and 5 yuan monthly silver and went straight to the east of the city.
Jufu Restaurant is located on Sihai Street in the east of the city.
This street is full of bodyguard bureaus, martial arts halls, ticket offices, and post stations. There is also a large mule and horse trading market next to it. It is crowded with people every day, and it is very lively.
It covers an area of nearly two acres, with three front and back yards.
In front is an antique three-story wooden attic.
Behind are some secluded single-room courtyards. The interior layout is quiet and elegant, and the rockery and flowing water are gurgling between the walks, giving you a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
It can be seen that this place has been carefully arranged.
It's lunch time now, but the passenger flow is not too much.
There are only a few tables of foreign merchants, who are dining in the lobby on the first floor.
Wei Han disguised himself as a fierce-looking burly man, and walked into it in a hurry, and the two servants at the door immediately greeted him with smiles.
"Master, how many are you?"
"Just me, find a secluded single room."
"Okay, a distinguished guest, please!"
Wei Han was politely led to a single room on the second floor by the servant.
Here you can see the scenery of the backyard condescendingly, without being affected by the noise of the street in front, it is a good place.
"Grandpa, what do you want to eat?"
The boy asked and handed over a menu booklet.
Wei Han casually ordered seven or eight items, and said, "Do you have any good medicinal food?"
"Of course!" The servant hurriedly introduced enthusiastically: "Look, my lord, we have eight kinds of medicinal foods, among which this tortoise snake deer antler and ginseng soup is the most. Take a sip and keep it refreshed.”
"There is also this Cordyceps Dilong Soup, which is also very good. It needs to be boiled with 36 precious medicinal materials for three days and three nights before it can be served. Every serving is precious."
"Okay!" Wei Han nodded and said, "One copy of each."
"Okay, sir, drink tea first, the food will be here soon!" The servant became more enthusiastic.
"Wait!" Wei Han raised his hand and said, "I heard that your shopkeeper is the daughter of the big escort? If you are free, can you ask her to condescend to come over later and say that I have a deal to discuss with her?" .”
"Huh? Master, what is this?" The boy was a little confused.
"Go!" Wei Han said no more: "Tell her that if you intend to bring the restaurant back to life, you can come over and talk about it. If you are not interested, forget it, and leave after dinner."
"yes!"
The boy walked out in a daze.
After a while, dishes of delicious food were delivered.
There are also two large pots of hot medicinal food, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
Wei Han tasted a few mouthfuls with interest, but couldn't help frowning.
"It's no wonder that the business of this Jufu restaurant is poor. It looks good, and the portions of the dishes are also sufficient, but the taste is not satisfactory."
"The medicinal food tastes bitter and burnt, the meat is old and stale, and the other dishes are also hip. It can be seen that the chef has put a lot of effort into it, but it's a pity that the talent is not good enough!"
Wei Han silently commented on these dishes while waiting for Xu Youran's arrival.
As expected, there was a sound of footsteps not long after.
A heroic, bright-eyed girl in a blue-purple skirt knocked on the door a few times and walked in, followed by a maid with a sword.
"I heard from my subordinates that the guest officer wants to see the little girl?" The bright-eyed girl's voice was like an oriole, and she said with a smile: "The little girl's surname is Xu and her name is Youran. She is currently the shopkeeper of the store. I don't know what advice the guest officer has?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, please sit down!" Wei Han got up and waved his hand, and said, "I came here today to discuss a business deal, which may be related to the life and death of your Jufu restaurant. I wonder if shopkeeper Xu is interested in chatting?"
"oh?"
Xu Youran showed a hint of surprise cooperatively.
The maid with the sword behind her couldn't help laughing.
"What kind of cat or dog really dares to speak out." She said disdainfully: "Our restaurant has been open for more than 20 years and has never closed down. You can decide its life or death with one word?"
"Why Jufu Restaurant hasn't closed down for more than 20 years, don't you know better than anyone else?" Wei Han casually sneered, "Isn't it that the Wuwei Escort has a big business and is losing money every year, but to take care of the boss of the Escort? The livelihood of the weak women and children, you have been gritting your teeth and holding on?"
"Over the past few years, the surrounding state capitals have become more and more chaotic, and the Escort business has become difficult to do. How many people did your family take care of in the end? Now there are probably more people eating rice than customers in the store, right?"
The sword maid blushed from being choked.
Several times I wanted to open my mouth to refute, but I didn't know where to start.
Xu Youran is a smart woman, she listened quietly for a while, and asked very seriously: "Guest officer, you mean that you have a way to bring the restaurant back to life?"
"That's right!" Wei Han nodded confidently: "Three generations of my ancestors have been famous chefs, and they have studied all kinds of cooking and medicinal food. I don't pay attention to chefs at the level of the major restaurants in this county. .As long as I think about it, no matter how bad a restaurant is, it will be frantically sought after by all the gourmets in the city.”
"Mister is the chef?"
Xu Youran stood up excitedly, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
God knows how much time she has wasted all these years trying to find a good cook.
It's a pity that Qingshan County is only so big, and all the famous chefs are held tightly by major restaurants.
The business of Jufu Restaurant has been dragging along like this.
That's why she lost her composure when she heard Wei Han say that she is a famous chef.
"It's not a chef, but it's better than the chefs of the big restaurants in this small place." Wei Han smiled modestly.
Xu Youran was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Great, what kind of cuisine is your master good at? Can you try the dishes? If you come to our restaurant, what kind of treatment do you want?"
"It's not proven, let's try a dish first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Wei Han didn't have the nerve to interrupt her thoughts, and he didn't want to directly say that he didn't plan to be a cook, so he could only talk about other things after trying the dishes. .
"Okay, sir please!"
"Xiaolu, hurry up and inform the kitchen to make arrangements."
Xu Youran stood up holding her skirt, and personally invited Wei Han to the kitchen.
The kitchen of Jufu Restaurant is located on the left side of the backyard. It is a large yard. There are more than 20 old and weak women and children picking and washing vegetables. There are also a few lame and broken hands in the kitchen who are cooking. The appearance of the Escort Nursing Home.
"Miss!"
"Hi Miss!"
When everyone saw Xu Youran's arrival, they got up to say hello.
Everyone has respect and love on their faces, obviously she is looked up to here.
"Sir, you are laughing!" Xu Youran nodded to everyone, and explained softly: "These are either disabled bodyguards who were injured and retired, or the family members of the victims. The purpose of raising these people is to keep everyone from starving. die."
"Shopkeeper Xu is kind and righteous, I admire you." Wei Han complimented, and said: "You don't have to be so polite, just call me by my name, my surname is Qiao Mingfeng."
"Qiao Feng? What a name!" Xu Youran couldn't help admiring secretly.
She stared at the confident man in front of her with burning eyes, and suddenly had a premonition in her heart that this Qiao Feng was likely to give her a very big surprise.
