Rise From the Humble

It happened to be past noon. After glancing at the naughty child who was crying, Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, held the little Loli in one hand, and led the naughty child towards the opposite restaurant.

There are many restaurants in this area, ranging in size, with five or six of the larger ones. Zhu Pingan chose the one with the largest scale and the best business, held the little Loli in his arms, and led the naughty child over.

A big banner was hung in front of the restaurant, with the words "Ten Miles of Fragrance" written on it, fluttering in the wind.

There are two couplets pasted in front of the door, half of the color of the couplets has been eroded by wind and rain. The first couplet is "Ode to Thousands of Famous Shops" and the second couplet is "Ten Miles of Incense Blooms in the Altar".

After entering the store, I found that the restaurant was very spacious, with square tables arranged one after another, and each table was equipped with four benches. A rough count showed that there were seventeen or eight tables in the hall, not counting private rooms.

Most of the people eating in the store are laborers and porters.

There was a lot of buzz and business was good.

Perhaps it was because business was good and busy. When they entered the store, no waiter came to greet Zhu Ping'an and the others.

"Ouch..."

The naughty kid took two steps, and one of his steps slipped and fell. Fortunately, Zhu Pingan led him, and he only slipped once and was caught by Zhu Pingan.

It turned out that vegetable soup was spilled on the ground and it was not cleaned in time. The naughty child stepped on it and slipped.

"What a shabby shop. I dirty my shoes."

The naughty kid glanced at the vegetable soup on the ground, and rubbed the soles of his pony boots hard on the ground twice. However, even if there was no vegetable soup, the ground was not very unclean. Not only did it have no effect, but it made the riding boots even dirtier. A piece of fat His face was full of disgust.

After finding an empty seat, Zhu Ping'an settled the two young ones down and scanned the menu hanging on the wall in the store. The food prices in the store were similar to those in other places in the capital, but slightly more expensive.

Probably because of the geographical advantage.

Relative to the customer flow, the supply of restaurants here exceeds demand. Prices are affected by supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand, the boss will naturally think of raising prices.

After reading the menu, Zhu Pingan stretched out his hand to signal, and then the waiter came over to greet him.

"Come here, sir, what do you three order?" The waiter arrived late, with a white towel on his shoulders, and came over to ask.

"Let's have a plate of your restaurant's specialty roasted chicken, a plate of Longjing shrimps, a plate of fresh bamboo shoots and roasted mushrooms, a plate of ten-flavored Ruyi vegetables, and three of your restaurant's specialty pancakes."

Zhu Ping'an ordered the dishes and staple food based on the opinions of the two waiters, and then asked the waiter to pour three bowls of tea to moisten his mouth.

The scorching sun and unbearable heat cause the body to lose water faster. In order to prevent heat stroke, you must drink more water and maintain the water balance in the body. Especially the two little ones need to drink more water to enhance their resistance.

"Chenghui, tea costs two cents a pot..." the waiter reminded.

Um?

It's novel. If you eat here, tea will cost extra.

Zhu Ping'an was surprised for a moment, then he looked up at the menu on the wall, and sure enough, he found that tea was written at the bottom for a pot of tea for two cents. He slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter, let's have a pot of tea."

"Okay, roast chicken, Longjing shrimps, fresh bamboo shoots and roasted mushrooms, ten-spiced Ruyi vegetables, three pancakes and a pot of tea... Please wait a moment, sir. It will be ready soon."

After the waiter wrote it down, he sang the name of the dish loudly and went to the kitchen to pass the dish.

But he said it would be ready soon. After waiting for a while, the waiter brought the tea. As for the food, it was even slower.

Zhu Pingan also paid attention to other diners in the restaurant. They all faced this problem. The food was served slowly. Some people found it too slow and impatiently urged them after waiting for a while. Some people were already used to it, eating steamed buns and playing with each other. With chopsticks...

After a while, the dishes finally arrived. Among them, the roast chicken is torn by the kitchen and served on a plate.

Perhaps because Li Shuyang had it in his mouth, Zhu Pingan felt that the taste of this restaurant was really not too flattering.

"Bah, bah, bah...it tastes really bad."

How great is the hope, how great is the disappointment. The naughty kid waited for a long time to get his favorite chicken. He quickly picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. However, he spit it out after taking a bite.

Although the little loli Niuniu didn't say anything, she put a piece of chicken in her little mouth and chewed it for a long time with her little cheeks puffed out but refused to swallow it.

"Bah, bah, bah, it's so salty."

After tasting one dish, the naughty boy turned his chopsticks to another plate, put a chopstick into his mouth, spit it out again, stretched out his chubby hand and wiped his mouth repeatedly, bah bah bah. non-stop.

For the remaining two dishes, the naughty kid just looked at the colors and curled his lips, not even wanting to lift his chopsticks.

Taste a mouthful, spit a mouthful; taste a mouthful, spit a mouthful.

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

The two waiters looked at each other and came over with white towels draped over them, ready to start questioning.

"What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I asked someone to smash up your shabby store!"

When the naughty kid saw the two waiters coming, the young master's temper immediately exploded. What a loser. He was worried about finding no one. How dare you come? He immediately shook his fat face and glared at them with his small eyes.

ah?

The two store waiters were frightened by the overwhelming momentum of the second generation ancestor.

Look at the little naughty boy's clothes, brocade clothes, leather boots, and luxurious materials. At first glance, he looks like a young master from a wealthy family. The little lolita on the other side is also made of pink and jade. Only those big families can raise such a charming girl. Miss.

In addition, look at the noble young master among them. Although he is ordinary in appearance, his arrogance is several levels higher than that of their boss behind the scenes. What a young man he is, and he has the air of a superior person all over him.

As a result, the two waiters hesitated to move forward, feeling apprehensive.

"Who knows what the next sentence will be on the plate?"

Zhu Pingan pinched the naughty boy's little fat face and taught him to cherish food. Although the food in this restaurant is not very delicious, it is not so bad that it makes them vomit. We cannot let them develop the habit of wasting food.

"It's hard work every step of the way." The naughty kid broke his fat face out of Zhu Pingan's hands.

"Well, don't waste it then."

Zhu Ping'an touched the naughty child's head and smiled slightly.

The naughty boy frowned, puffed out his cheeks and started to nibble on it, looking like it tasted like wax.

"good."

Zhu Pingan smiled when he saw this.

At this time, Zhu Ping'an looked up at them as if he had just seen the two waiters, and asked calmly, "Are you okay?"

"No, no, sir, please take it easy." The two waiters shook their heads.

The main star of this meal is Zhu Ping'an, and the two of them, Naughty Child and Little Loli, are basically soy sauce.

When Zhu Ping'an ate the roasted chicken, he found that the roasted chicken had more bones than meat. He shook his head and smiled, beckoning the waiter over, "Go and call your shopkeeper."

"I wonder what this guest officer's orders are?" the shopkeeper asked after coming over.

"Shopkeeper, are these two roast chickens?" Zhu Pingan looked at the shopkeeper and asked with a smile.

"Ah? One." The shopkeeper looked puzzled.

"A chicken? How can there be so many bones? I ate four chicken feet from one chicken, and there were also many chicken necks. There must be at least two chicken necks."

Zhu Pingan stretched out his chopsticks and swiped the chicken on the plate, looking at the shopkeeper with a half-smile.

"Ahem, how did you do it? How did you serve the dishes ordered by other guests?"

When someone caught the chef's tricks, the shopkeeper blushed. He turned to scold the waiter next to him and ordered the waiter to serve the roasted chicken again. "Why don't you go and serve the roasted chicken again? Remember to tell the chef, it's a Roast chicken! Don’t make this mistake again.”
