Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

Just a few of them were not enough! The customer waved his hand to the waiter who had already walked away and said, "Brother, give me two more plates of these braised peanuts!"

The waiter smiled sheepishly, bent over and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but we only have this much braised peanuts today. I'll give each table a plate to try."

The customer frowned and said, "Why are you not doing business in your tavern? Are you trying to drive the guests away?"

"Sir, this braised peanut is a new dish we made. We didn't make much today. We just wanted to see how the guests like it. If they like it, we can make more every day. If not, we'll have to remove this dish."

Since the waiter had said this, the customer had no choice but to complain a few more times, forcing the waiter to serve him another plate of braised peanuts.

"In that case, let me tell you, if you don't give me these braised peanuts when I come back tomorrow, I will never come to your restaurant to drink and eat meat again!"

The waiter could only smile and agree repeatedly, thinking: I don't know what other customers think of the braised peanuts today. What's the point if only you two think it's good? It will only work if everyone thinks it's good!

Just as he was about to step aside and wait for the customers to order him around, guests from several tables waved to him to come over. Fortunately, there was more than one waiter in the pub, so he was able to catch his breath.

After finally dealing with the guests, they all stepped aside and talked in low voices.

"The customer just now specifically asked for braised peanuts. I explained to him for a long time but he refused to listen and insisted that I serve him another plate of braised peanuts. Where can I find so many braised peanuts for him?"

"I just said the same thing, didn't I? I really don't understand the boss. If these braised peanuts are selling so well, why don't you ask someone to make more?"

"Hush! I heard from Xiaohu that this was bought from a store that sells braised food in town. It's not made by the chef in our store."

"What? I thought Master Zhang and his team had developed some new dishes, but that's not the case!"

Several people were talking in low voices, not noticing the boss approaching behind them.

"What have you guys been whispering about for quite some time?" Old Wu was standing behind them, listening for quite a while.

"scare!"

Several people were startled by the sudden appearance of the boss and quickly dispersed. Xiaotian, the waiter standing in the front, quickly responded.

"Boss, we are talking about the new braised peanuts we have today! The customers all want more, but the store has run out of them. The customers are very dissatisfied and are clamoring to have this braised peanuts tomorrow."

Old Wu had already anticipated that the braised peanuts would be popular today, but he was just worried that there wouldn't be enough to sell.

I'll send two more people over tomorrow. If we can't buy braised peanuts, we can buy some braised tofu and braised offal. Forget about braised chicken. It's a bit expensive, so it's better to buy it and eat it yourself.

Zhongji’s business was still good today and everything was sold out early.

At this time yesterday, there was still half a basin of braised peanuts left. Usually, most of the people who come to buy braised goods are women, and there are fewer men queuing up. For women, filling their stomachs is the most important thing in life, and they would not buy braised peanuts, which men eat while drinking and chatting.

Only a few men who were drinking bought a few spoonfuls, and the remaining half pot was bought by a few customers who came to take advantage of the bargain while the shop door was open. I had originally planned not to braise peanuts starting tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, a big customer came today and bought up all the braised peanuts at once. Now Zhong Ruyi is still struggling over whether to braise the peanuts tomorrow. What if she braises the peanuts and the customer doesn’t come?

Zhong Ruyi had already picked up the needle and thread and started working. The rest of the cleaning work was done by her second brother. The mother and daughter sat and talked while doing needlework.

Speaking of this, Zhong Ruyi was a little distressed. The peanuts were all grown by their own family. Although not many were planted, Zhong's father and eldest brother took good care of the crops in the fields.

The peanuts grown are full and chewy. "Let's braise less tomorrow. If we can't sell them, we'll eat them ourselves."

This is the only way. People who want to drink naturally go to pubs and restaurants to drink. They would never have thought that such a small shop would also sell snacks.

Zhong Ruyi was also careless. She had braised some peanuts and given them to the pork shop owner. Seeing that he liked them, he asked her to help him braise another pot of peanuts to go back with his wine. She thought the braised peanuts would also sell well.

Who would have thought that most of the people who come to buy braised food are women at home. How could they be willing to buy food and wine to take home for their husbands to drink?

However, the customers who bought from yesterday came to ask about it today. As long as we don’t braise too much tomorrow, we can still sell it.

Zhong Ruyi felt that the flower she embroidered today was better than yesterday’s. At least it could be seen as a flower.

The second brother had just cleaned up the yard and the basins and pots of braised food and came out with his stomach growling with hunger.

"Mom, what are we having for lunch?"

Isn't it just steamed buns, steamed buns, sesame cakes and noodles that we eat every day? Zhong's mother was also worried. She could just pick some vegetables and stir-fry them into two dishes if she wanted.

It’s not like that in town. You have to spend money on everything. Steamed buns cost one cent each, and sesame cakes cost two cents each. The two girls in the family can’t eat much, but the second child eats a lot.

There was no other way. Being tired from work, one naturally ate more. Mother Zhong got up to cook, leaving the brother and sister staring at each other.

Zhong Laosan fiddled with his sister's half-embroidered handkerchief. After looking at it for a long time, he finally said, "Is this an embroidered carrot?"

Zhong Ruyi snatched the handkerchief from his second brother's hand, "Second brother! Are you starving? This is clearly a flower! It's a peach blossom!"

Really! My good mood was ruined by my second brother!

Zhong Ruyi was so hit hard by her second brother that she couldn't continue embroidering. She dropped her needle and thread and ran away, leaving her second brother sitting there stupidly.

"Mom! What are you going to cook?"

When Zhong Ruyi walked in, she saw that her mother was already lighting a fire. There were some cut vegetables on the stove. She walked over to take a look and suddenly reached out and took out a bunch of grapes.

There is no season in this space, and all kinds of fruits can grow at the same time.

"Mom, this is for you."

She gave the grapes to Zhong's mother, pulled over another small stool and sat down. The mother and daughter sat together and chatted casually.

"What kind of fruit is this? It's so delicious and sweet!"

With a look of surprise on her face, Zhong's mother plucked a grape and put it into her mouth, chewing it. It had a strong fruity aroma and a light floral scent.

It’s amazing! Can you actually taste the fragrance of flowers when you eat the fruit?

Zhong Ruyi held up her chin and watched her mother eat half of the bunch of Sunshine Roses with a look of surprise. "This fruit is called Sunshine Rose Grapes. Isn't it delicious?"

Sunshine Rose? This fruit is so strange, and the name is so strange too, I have never heard of it.

She had heard about grapes, saying that they were tributes from foreign vassal states to the emperor. Could it be that these grapes were the same as the grapes the emperor ate?

After finishing a bunch of grapes, Zhong's mother felt that she could skip lunch in the afternoon as she was so full that she couldn't eat any more.

After being busy all morning and doing some needlework, Zhong Ruyi felt her waist was a little sore. She was stretching when she suddenly smelled a burnt odor.

"Oh! My stewed potatoes and meat!" Mrs. Zhong screamed and threw away the grape stalks in her hand.

Zhong Ruyi was close by and quickly lifted the lid of the pot. As soon as she lifted it, the burnt smell became more obvious. Fortunately, she used a spatula to scoop it up and found that only the bottom was burnt, and the top was fine.

Mother Zhong served the stewed potatoes with meat. She quickly prepared the remaining two dishes and served them out for eating soon.

At the dinner table, Zhong Laoer was extremely hungry. He had already digested the few steamed buns he had eaten in the morning and now he urgently needed to fill his stomach.
