Chapter 97.2: 宴請
[Feast]
All of them responded in unison, Auntie Li was even busy showing her intention. They are not afraid of being busy, what they are afraid of is that if this small restaurant is gone, they will never find such a leisure place, good food, good shop manager and good job again!
“Next, each of you take the things in your hands, and according to what Master Da Niu said, get ready to help at the side!”
“Yes!”
Being surrounded by several people who carry tools in their hands with serious expressions, Da Niu, who had never panicked even in the face of a fierce tiger, instantly felt a heavier burden on his shoulders; not to mention the fact that it was the first time he had been called a master worker, his back straightened up all at once.
Da Niu held his breath and shouted, “I’m going to start then.”
“Yes!”
After helping his own foolish son with the first part of his busy schedule, the old hunter however walked up to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing looked at Da Niu who was holding the knife in his hand, white knife in small red knife out. He sighed, this ancient people’s physical strength is quite big, suddenly in front of their eyes appeared a person. He was shocked to see clearly after the person’s face surfaced a puzzled look, “Grandpa Xu, what’s wrong?”
The old hunter saw himself scared Chen Xing, but also with some embarrassment, and then remembered that they are here to do what, the expression on his face as he hesitated for a few minutes; he then looked at Chen Xing and said: “Little Boss, you guys here, lack of rice right? Our village also has some rice, although the taste of cooking is not good, but better than nothing, do you want to take a look at it?”
After saying this, worried that Chen Xing had concerns, then he added a sentence, “Little Boss, you can rest assured, just to give you guys a look, if you do not use and need rice, we take it back directly.”
Upon hearing his words, Chen Xing’s mind moved, thinking of the surprise they brought to himself today, suddenly rose a few more thoughts, so he directly said, “You bring it to me to see, if you have any other vegetables and mountain delicacies there, you can also bring it to me to see. If I like what I see, I will buy it from you according to the market price.”
That old hunter’s wrinkled face broke into a big big smile as he quickly said, “Okay, fine, I’ll go back and talk to them, and see if any of them have any of these, and I’ll show them to you.”
There are such farmers, the amount of vegetables that can be produced every day is small. It is not possible to come to the city every day to sell vegetables, more is sold to the hawkers who come to buy once a few days, inevitably the price is lower, however if you can sell things directly to Chen Xing, according to the market price, their village can earn some more, they can also collect a hard fee (commission) in the middle.
After Chen Xing talked to the old hunter, he was quite satisfied. If there was a windfall, he had made a profit; if not, he also lost nothing.
Both parties were very satisfied with their deal.
A few days later, people in the county found out that the small restaurant which was said to be unable to survive in half a month, not only did not close down as they thought, but became more and more popular.
Isn’t it the day before yesterday, after receiving the last batch of customers, they announced in a big way that they would take a day off yesterday, and today they would organize a ‘wild boar banquet’? They would invite all the regular customers of their small restaurant to come and support them.
From the beginning of this morning, this small restaurant backyard smoke from kitchen chimneys has not stopped, the most intolerable thing is also because they do not know what they are cooking, separated by a wall of distance, they actually could still smell from the aroma, causing the pedestrians can not help but stop their footsteps, separated by a wall of distance looking towards the inside, trying to see what in the end, very much tickle the people’s hearts.
“What the hell is going on here? Why does it smell so good?”
Finally, someone could not resist the temptation of this sweet smell, and grasped at the crack of the back door, wanting to see what was inside through the gap, but unfortunately, the door was really closed tightly, so he could not see anything, and finally had to leave in disappointment.
“Damn it, what the hell are they making across the street, why does it smell so good?” The customer who was eating across the street, staring straight at the direction of the small restaurant, could not help but pick up a mouthful of food into his mouth, as if like this, it could suppress the gluttonous insects that were aroused by the sweet smell.
“Why do I smell it, it smells like rice?” The man at his table couldn’t stop gulping, he felt that the bowl of noodles he ate just now had no effect at all, and now he was being tempted to get hungry again.
“Bullshit, how can rice have this kind of flavor? Is his family’s rice a bit more special?”
After being yelled at by the man, the person on the other side of the table immediately stopped speaking, but thinking about the news he had heard some time ago that all the rice shops in the whole county had stopped selling rice to this restaurant. In case their treasurer really did possess great magical power; to possess remarkable ability to sell different kinds of rice?
Just as the two stared at the restaurant across the street and ate their meal in their bowls with the aroma coming from it, the door of the restaurant across the street opened, and then the shop’s waiter hung a sign out.
The two men who had been staring there toward the restaurant immediately sat up straight, put down their chopsticks, and stood up, ready to go over to eat again.
When they arrived at the front door, they were attracted by the neatly written sign or board; the one who had just been scolded poked the one next to him and said anxiously, “Look, what’s written on that sign? Is it about the variety of dishes they are serving today?”
