Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

A few days ago, Zhou Lingling asked her second brother to find a group of children to sing rhymes in the streets and alleys of Yunlai Town to announce the news that their Zhouji was about to open for business.

Early in the morning, she asked her father to move a big pot to the door of the tavern and start cooking the braised soup.

So before the firecrackers went off, a crowd of people gathered at the door of Zhouji Tavern.

"Isn't this Old Zhang's little teahouse? How did it become a tavern?"

"Tsk, you didn't know yet? Old Zhang went to Jiangnan with his son. He said last month that he wanted to sell this small teahouse..."

"Weekly diary? What's cooking in this big pot? Why does it feel so familiar to me?"

"You feel the same way? Me too! My mouth is watering..."

"Hurry, hurry, let's set off the firecrackers!"

There was a crackling sound.

Zhouji Bistro is officially open.

In addition to the eldest son Zhou Chi, the Zhou family of four, the Chen family, and Zhou Daqin and his wife were all standing at the door with bright smiles on their faces.

Under Zhou Lingling's encouraging gaze, Chen stood up and shouted:

"Hello everyone, our weekly shop is officially opening today, and we're offering a 20% discount for the first three days! Don't miss out!"

Someone who had been gathered at the door for a long time asked in a loud voice: "Boss, what are you selling this week? Why does it smell so good?"

Chen's face was still a little hot after she finished shouting, purely out of excitement.

Hearing someone asking, he quickly replied, "Our weekly store mainly sells alcoholic beverages and braised food, as well as some homemade stir-fries. The prices are guaranteed to be affordable."

"It's the braised food stall next to Chen's Butcher Shop in the West Market. We own it. No one who has eaten there has said anything bad about it! Everyone is welcome to come in and try it..."

As soon as people heard about the braised food stall in Xishi, they started walking in.

The two were regular customers of the original braised food stall. As they walked away, they said, "I was wondering if you looked familiar, Madam Boss. I didn't expect your business would spread all the way to the East Market!"

Seeing this, a few more people couldn't help but come in after smelling the scent at the door.

Zhou Lingling smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and Zhou Yun came over with a teapot and two bamboo cups to add tea to the guests.

Chen quickly returned to the kitchen, and Fang and Aunt Chen followed in to help.

Chen Jiakang also hurried back to the counter.

Zhou Laoer squatted at the door and continued to pull the bellows, and from time to time he fanned himself with the large palm-leaf fan he brought from his mother-in-law's house.

My daughter said that she wanted everyone on the street to smell the aroma of their braised food.

Zhou Lingling took a small notebook and asked the guests at the first table, "What would you like to eat?"

One of them sniffed and asked, "Little girl, since your store sells alcohol, what kind of alcohol do you have?"

Zhou Lingling pointed to the top of the counter and said, "All the drinks and food in our store are on it. Customers can take a look. We have high-concentration shochu, rice wine, and fruit wine. It depends on what the customer likes."

As she finished speaking, guests at other tables also looked towards the counter.

For a moment, exclamations and praises rang out one after another.

The guests at the first table said, "I didn't expect your little tavern to have such ingenuity. Bring me a pot of that liquor, a pound of pig's head and ears, and a plate of peanuts."

They both came for the braised food, but it was the first time they heard of soju, so they bought some to try.

In the past, I could only buy food in Xishi and take it home to eat, which always lacked the artistic conception. Now, I have wine and meat, and I can drink and chat with a few good friends, which is really a pleasure.

Zhou Lingling smiled and agreed, "Okay, table number one, a pot of liquor, a pound of pig's head and ears, and a plate of crispy peanuts. Please wait a moment, sir."

As Zhou Lingling finished speaking, the menu for table number one was also written.

She turned around and gave the menu and wooden sign to her second brother Zhou Yun, and went to take orders for the guests at other tables.

Zhou Yun ran to the back hall with the menu and shouted out the table number and menu. After a while, Daqin came out nervously holding a tray.

His hands, which could carry a 200-jin sack, were shaking slightly as he held a tray with only two side dishes.

Zhou Yun ran over with a pot of liquor and two cups. "Sir, your liquor is here."

Then he took the cold-mixed pork head and pig ears and a plate of peanuts from the tray in Uncle Daqin's hand and placed them on the table.

"A platter of cold-mixed pig's head and pig's ears, and a plate of peanuts. Enjoy, both of you."

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple smile. He used to cut meat at Chen's butcher shop, and many customers who bought braised food recognized him.

The customer who wanted liquor smiled and said, "Young boss, you look quite like that!"

Zhou Yun laughed, "It's still the uncles and aunts who take care of our family business."

After Zhou Lingling ordered the dishes, she turned around and heard her second brother's voice, and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

You know what, my second brother is quite good at talking sometimes.

Zhou Yun: Of course not! After all, those years when I was selling meat with Chen Jiakang weren't in vain...

Everyone performs their duties.

The people who take orders, waiters, serving food, accounting, and those busy in the kitchen...

There was some confusion at the beginning, but as a wave of guests left reluctantly, everyone was able to cooperate.

From the opening time in the morning to noon, all eighteen tables on the first floor were full.

It was almost noon, and no new customers came in.

Zhou Lingling was not disappointed either.

Only those who have actually tried and drunk their liquor and braised food know how good they are.

She believes that most of the people who step into Zhou Ji today will become repeat customers.

Zhou Lingling called Zhou Laoer in and said, "Dad, that's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow morning until three days later."

Zhou Laoer nodded, removed the bellows, and moved the big pot directly inside.

Zhou Lingling's eyes widened: "Daddy! It's hot!"

Zhou Laoer's hearty laughter came, "Don't be afraid, my daughter, Dad is thick-skinned!"

Zhou Lingling: “…” Even if you have a thick skin, you can’t use it like this.

The last table of four guests also left.

Before leaving, everyone's face was red and they were staggering a little, but they did not forget to praise their family's liquor.

"Boss, your... liquor is really strong!"

Zhou Laoer held up a guest who was about to fall with one hand, and then the other three also began to stagger.

So he held one person with one hand, grabbed the arms of two people with the other hand, and supported one leg on the waist of the fourth guest.

Zhou Lingling curled her lips. If she remembered correctly, the four guests at this table ordered a pot of wine.

One pot weighs one jin, and the average person drinks two and a half liang.

He's so drunk after drinking just two and a half taels of alcohol, and he still dares to go out and drink... What kind of alcohol tolerance is he?

"Can we still leave?" Zhou Laoer frowned. "Where do you guys live?"

The four staggering men all answered, "We can walk!"

"We can go!"

"Where...where are we going to live?"

Zhou Lingling: “…”
