Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

He actually guessed it right. At noon, the customers came with signs to buy braised food, and the young man came with two young men wearing the same clothes.

"Boss, I want all the braised peanuts, two spoons of braised offal, and one spoon of braised chicken and tofu."

The young man startled the guests as soon as he opened his mouth. All the braised peanuts? Was he planning to eat the braised peanuts as a meal?

One of the young men who came with him put the large wooden basin he brought with him on the table and said, "Boss, just put it in this wooden basin for us. Thank you!"

The young man went to the side to pay, and the two young men were responsible for carrying the large wooden basin. After the three people left, the guests present finally reacted.

“Are these braised peanuts really that delicious?”

"I don't know! I didn't buy any yesterday. It's not like I haven't eaten peanuts before. It tastes just like that!"

"Boss, you've sold all the braised peanuts to him now. What if others want to eat them?"

Zhong Lao Er said in a gruff voice, "Weren't you guys in the front of the line yesterday? Why didn't you buy anything? It was left to someone else to buy in the end, and finally someone was willing to buy it all today, and you guys are not happy if you don't buy anything."

Everyone laughed and started talking to each other.

"Boss, you can't do this! I want to eat braised peanuts, too."

"Yeah! I want to try it too, to see how delicious it is!"

"That guy should be working in the tavern. I remember seeing him when I went to the tavern to pick up my husband."

A woman in the crowd spoke up, and everyone suddenly realized that it was the tavern that wanted it, and that was indeed it.

Aren’t the places where people drink in pubs the places where they eat snacks to go with the wine? Aren’t these braised peanuts good snacks to go with the wine?

Wouldn’t the price of these few cents of braised peanuts double when they go to the tavern?

"No, boss. You can't sell all of them to him when he comes back tomorrow. We also want to try the braised peanuts!"

"Yes! They must be selling it at a very high price in the bar. We can't afford it. We can only buy some from you and take it back."

"Then doesn't that mean they are just second-hand dealers?"

After hearing the last sentence, Zhong Ruyi felt that the guest was right, but she couldn't control it. The peanuts she braised every day were definitely not enough for a pub's daily needs.

However, this was not something she should worry about. If someone opened a pub, they couldn't expect her to serve the braised peanuts as a side dish, like Manxianglou. It wouldn't matter if there were no braised goods, and at most the customers would complain a few times.

But if there are braised goods, it will be icing on the cake. Both Man Xiang Lou and Zhong Kee will benefit, and no one will suffer.

The young man bought all the braised peanuts from Zhong Ji today and took them back. The two young men who followed him endured it all the way, and finally when they were far away from Zhong Ji, they could no longer hold back and speak out.

"Oh my god! I almost couldn't help drooling just now!"

"Yes, yes! It smells so good! I didn't believe it when the customer told me about it before, but I didn't expect that I would know it was true after I bought it."

The guy walking in front couldn't help but recall the aroma of braised food he smelled just now when he was in the front of the line. It was so fragrant that it could make one's nose fall off!

I moved a large wooden basin of braised peanuts back to the pub. The time was just right because the pub was already open.

The three men entered through the back door of the tavern and turned into the kitchen. Two young men immediately put a large wooden basin on the table.

Several people gathered around, pointing and talking at a pot of braised peanuts.

"Isn't it just peanuts? Why did Master Wu ask Xiao Xu to wait so early?"

"That's right! Who hasn't eaten peanuts? Don't we have them in our tavern? We even specially picked up the plump peanuts and brought them back."

The peanuts in the tavern are dry-fried with salt, fresh, fragrant and crispy. They are also the cheapest in the tavern, costing twenty cents per serving, but the portion is enough.

"Xiao Xu, how much did you spend on these?" asked the tavern cook.

The young man who went to buy the braised peanuts was called Xu Xiaohu. He was young, and everyone in the pub called him Xiao Xu.

Xu Xiaohu said: "This pot cost me ninety cents."

Ninety coins! This doesn't seem expensive, for such a big bowl. A serving of salted peanuts in a tavern costs twenty coins. This big bowl can hold more than ten bowls in a tavern. At twenty coins per bowl, it can still be sold for more than two hundred coins!

While several people were discussing this matter, the tavern owner, Old Wu, came back from outside and went straight into the kitchen.

When everyone saw the boss coming, they quickly dispersed and didn't dare to talk anymore. Everyone just focused on their work.

"Xiao Xu, have you bought your peanuts?"

Xu Xiaohu quickly stepped aside, revealing the wooden basin that he had blocked behind him, "Boss! I bought it, all of it!"

Old Wu nodded, glanced at the braised peanuts in the bowl, reached out and grabbed a handful, pinched one open and put it in his mouth.

Yes! That’s the taste!

He pointed to the pot of braised peanuts and Xiao Xu and said, "Everyone who comes to drink today should be given a plate. Don't give more. If the guests ask, just tell them that this plate is free and they can wait until tomorrow to eat it."

Xu Xiaohu responded with a "OK" and prepared to share the pot of braised peanuts with plates. When Lao Wu was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed a handful.

It tastes really good. I want to eat it again after I have tried it. From now on, I will ask Xiao Xu to line up early every day to get the card, and then I will give Xiao Xu a higher salary to compensate him for the hard work of getting up early.

Old Wu walked away leisurely with the braised chicken and tofu he had bought. The other people in the kitchen, who had been busy, started talking again when they saw their boss leave.

Xu Xiaohu was carrying a basin of braised peanuts, followed by two young men who had just returned from carrying the braised peanuts.

The three of them brought out a pile of plates, with more than ten or twenty pieces on each plate. They wanted the guests not to be full at once, but to keep thinking about it after they had finished.

Only in this way can we attract repeat customers and the pub business can be better. If the pub business is good, those who work in the pub can get high wages.

When the waiting time was almost up, the kitchen started to prepare the dishes and wine ordered by the previous guests. Xu Xiaohu and his friends put a plate of braised peanuts on the tray that already had the wine and dishes on it.

There were already quite a few guests sitting in the pub, and the sound of their voices was mixed together.

The waiter brought the dishes and wine one by one in the order the guests ordered. The guest who was still talking picked up the small pot of wine and started pouring it. After taking two bites of the dishes, he found that the peanuts served today were not shelled and were different from the usual salted peanuts.

The customer called the waiter over and asked what was going on.

The waiter bent over slightly, with a smile on his face, and replied, "My dear, this plate of peanuts is a new snack in our bar. Since today is the first day of the launch, you can try it for free."

When he heard that it was free, the customer's expression looked better. It was not that he could not afford the ten or twenty cents, but the dish had to be ordered with his consent. But since it was free, there was nothing to say.

The customer picked up a peanut and peeled it, saying that the tavern didn't know how to do business and that the customer had to peel the peanut himself.

Who would have thought that once the peanuts entered his mouth, he couldn't stop eating them. Seeing him like this, another guest who was drinking with him also reached out and took two peanuts and started eating.

There were less than 20 peanuts in a plate and they were eaten up in no time.
