So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 118: Conquered by Chicken Stewed with Bamboo Shoots
"I think this is not a solution. Hotpot is delicious, but you get tired of it eventually. Besides, we are not the only one that sells hotpot in Yingcheng. Plus, the weather is getting hotter, so our business has dropped a lot."
"Someone else has learned it so quickly?" Sui He put down the account book in her hand. She thought that hot pot was simple. As long as there was a pot, other restaurants would definitely learn it. But it didn't matter. As long as they got the upper hand, it would be fine. Besides, other restaurants didn't have peppers, so they couldn't make spicy hot pot.
"Of course not. Those restaurants are just as smart as humans. We launched it just three days ago, and other restaurants also launched it. Although they don't have our spicy hot pot, they have attracted many people who can't eat spicy food."
Not everyone can tolerate spicy food. In addition, the space of Tongren Restaurant is so small that it is impossible to accommodate so many people at the same time. Those who can't eat spicy food and don't want to wait will go to other restaurants.
"Business in the store has not been very good recently. I am so overwhelmed that I thought I would go out for a walk and come to see you." At this time of year, the business in the store will be much worse than before. March and April are the lean seasons. There are few dishes and few dishes. There are only a few dishes over and over again, and I have long been tired of them.
On the one hand, he wanted to relax and get rid of the depression in his heart. On the other hand, he wanted to see if Suihe had any good things. He always had a strange feeling that Suihe should have some surprises in his hands that he didn't know about.
"Is that so? Shopkeeper Li came to my place to relax." Sui He said with a smile, "But you have come to the right place. Qingshan Village has a quiet environment. It just rained and the air is good. It's better to come out for a walk than to stay in the restaurant all the time."
"Sui Sui, the meal is ready, let's eat first, it won't be too late to discuss it after dinner." Grandma saw Sui He chatting with Shopkeeper Li, so she walked over and said, "Shopkeeper Li, it's time for dinner, if you don't mind, just enjoy your meal at home."
"No problem, no problem. Thank you for your help, Auntie." Shopkeeper Li waved his hand quickly.
Because there are two more people in the family today, grandma was afraid that the dishes she prepared would not be enough, so she cooked two more dishes.
A dish of bamboo shoots fried with bacon, a dish of shepherd's purse fried with eggs, stir-fried sweet potato tips, a pot of bamboo shoots stewed with chicken, and a pot of multi-grain cakes
"What is this?" Shopkeeper Li saw the thing he had just seen soaking in a basin on the table, his eyes flashed, and he looked thoughtful.
"These are bamboo shoots that Sui Sui picked on the mountain. They are delicious. Don't just sit there and eat them quickly." Grandma put a bowl of egg soup on the table and asked the shopkeeper Li and the others to start eating.
"Okay." Shopkeeper Li picked up a piece of fried bamboo shoots with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After the bamboo shoots in his mouth went down his throat, he made a plan in his mind. His expression relaxed and he sat aside to taste other dishes.
"Try this, bamboo shoots stewed with chicken, it tastes very fresh too." Grandma scooped a bowl of bamboo shoots and chicken and placed it in front of Shopkeeper Li
"Thank you, Auntie. Don't worry about me. Just eat yourselves." Shopkeeper Li took the bamboo shoot soup from the bowl, took a sip, and tasted the bamboo shoots in the soup. They were delicious. Shopkeeper Li didn't care about anything else. His eyes were only on the bowl of soup in front of him.
Seeing that Manager Li was eating, Sui He also picked up a pancake and started eating it, taking a bite of pancake and a sip of chicken soup, enjoying the meal very much.
As for the waiter who came with Shopkeeper Li, he had already started eating.
There were guests at the table, but Suihe and the others didn't say anything. The ancients were particular about not talking while eating or sleeping. On weekdays, when there were no outsiders at home, there were no such rules.
Soon, several people cleared all the food on the table.
"Miss Chen's food is really delicious, better than what my chef cooks." The waiter sat aside, rubbing his stomach to digest the food.
"It's just some home cooking, it can't compare to your chef's, but if you like it, you can come often in the future." Hearing the waiter's words, grandma was very happy
"It's really good, but ma'am, where did you get these bamboo shoots?" Compared to the waiter, Shopkeeper Li has a lot of thoughts. He is currently having a headache about what new products to serve.
"These bamboo shoots were picked by Sui He in the bamboo forest. They are in season now and there are many of them."
"Manager Li is interested in bamboo shoots?" Sui He understood what Manager Li meant when he saw his attitude.
"I've been worried about not having any new dishes these days. I think these bamboo shoots are pretty good, so I'm wondering if I can use them to make a special dish." Shopkeeper Li didn't say much, and just said what he was thinking.
"It's really good. Shopkeeper Li, you can give it a try. If you need bamboo shoots, I can ask the villagers of Qingshan Village to pick them." Sui He nodded. There are still a lot of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest on the mountain. They can't eat them all. Too many bamboo shoots will affect the growth of the bamboo forest.
Why not sell it to Shopkeeper Li and earn some pocket money?
"By the way, what is that green vegetable on the table? Why have I never eaten it before?" Shopkeeper Li thought of the stir-fried sweet potato tips he had eaten on the table. He did recognize the shepherd's purse on the other plate. That kind of wild vegetable would not be unpalatable as long as you were willing to add some seasoning and oil.
"That's sweet potato tips, a new food we found in the wild. We brought it back to try, and it tasted surprisingly good." Sui He knew that no one could resist the temptation of sweet potato tips.
Shopkeeper Li thought of the delicious food he had just tasted, and couldn't help wondering if his restaurant would attract more people if it introduced this kind of dish at this time.
"Sui He, if I ask you to bring me bamboo shoots and sweet potato tips, do you think it's okay?"
"This..." Sui He thought for a moment and said, "Bamboo shoots are OK, but sweet potato tips are a bit difficult."
"What do you mean?" Shopkeeper Li got anxious when he heard this and asked hurriedly.
"Manager Li, don't worry, just follow me." Sui He led the way and led Manager Li to the sweet potato field in the backyard, pointing to the sweet potato field.
"Look, Shopkeeper Li, it's not that I don't want to provide you with them, but these are all I have in my field. I can't provide too much for now. If Shopkeeper Li wants a large amount of vegetables, you have to wait until the ones in other fields grow."
The sweet potato vines in other fields were still small, and they were not yet ready to be picked and eaten. There were not that many in the field of rice. There was space, but in order to avoid attracting other people's attention, the things in the space were only provided for their own consumption.
"That's a pity." Shopkeeper Li looked at the land with regret. How much money could such a large piece of sweet potato vines bring?
"If you like it, I'll pick the right time for you to take home and try it. Wait a few days, and when the others are ready, I'll send them to you." Sui He saw that Shopkeeper Li looked at the field with a look of pity, which was a bit funny. He could only promise to send them to you when they are ready: "In spring, these vegetables grow very fast."
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li looked at Sui He with a sad look as if he had thought of something.
"Okay, don't forget to send it to me this time."
"I won't forget. I definitely won't forget this time." Sui He was a little embarrassed. She finally understood what Shopkeeper Li's expression meant. This vengeful Shopkeeper Li hadn't forgotten yet.
After seeing off Shopkeeper Li, Sui Hao looked at the empty storehouse with a bit of helplessness. How could Shopkeeper Li take away all her bamboo shoots like a swarm of locusts, leaving her nothing? Not only that, she also gave him a large bag of sweet potato leaves, weighing more than ten kilograms, and took away all the stock from her field.
"Suihe, what does Manager Li want to talk to you about again?" Aunt Li stood at the gate of the yard, looking inside.
