Chapter 367 The maid comes to visit late at night

PreviousBack to directoryNext
"Chen Langjun, it's a good thing that you are here today, otherwise I would have to leave this old bone here."

Shopkeeper Qiu, who had been busy all day, almost collapsed behind the counter and said.

After all, the business hours today are more than eight hours.

Not only shopkeeper Qiu, but also several other waiters, including the strongest chef Cheng De, were exhausted.

In my memory, Songhe Tower has never been so busy.

In order to reward these employees, Chen Chang took out the cold drink inventory and gave it to everyone.

With their taste buds stimulated, these people gradually regained some of their energy.

Chen Chang saw that everyone was extremely tired, so he suggested to go back and rest early.

However, his proposal was not supported.

"It's getting late, so I won't go home, so I'm settling my accounts here."

Chengde also said: "I won't go back either. I have to come back tomorrow morning. It's not enough trouble!"

Among the guys, Ma Bao's home was the closest, and the rest stayed in Songhe Tower.

Thanks to Chen Chang's ample preparation of cold drinks today, all the guests who came to Songhe Tower for dinner were given a portion, but those who didn't come in to eat were not.

So many people lining up to buy popsicles and cold drinks are undoubtedly the best advertisements. The time-honored sign of Songhelou has been polished a bit today.

When the guys went to the backyard to rest, only shopkeeper Qiu was left in front, and Xiao Yuer was sent home by Chen Chang. The little girl's eyelids were already fighting.

There were only a few men left in the store who didn't go home.

Shopkeeper Qiu brought a jar of old wine. There were no vegetables left, only some pickles were left.

They both fell down.

Wine is the lubricant that brings men closer to each other.

After a day of getting along with each other, Shopkeeper Qiu felt that this Mr. Chen was actually very kind.

Shopkeeper Qiu started chatting: "Chen Langjun, I have roughly estimated that the gross profit of today's food and wine will be thirty or forty dollars. If this continues tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!"

Lao Qiu's worry is not unreasonable. If it weren't for the help of some colleagues, so many customers sitting in the store would just stare at each other.

The borrowing method may work in the short term, but after all, it is not a long-term solution.

Chen Chang said: "Tomorrow morning, I have to ask shopkeeper Qiu to do some shopping. I think we will find a few regular vegetable vendors and let them deliver the food to your door."

Shopkeeper Qiu's hand holding the wine glass paused.

It's not impossible to have groceries delivered to your door, but the cost is high. If you buy the groceries yourself, you can save a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Qiu knows all about purchasing, and the water here is deep.

Chen Chang saw his concerns: "Shopkeeper Qiu, I know you are thinking about saving costs, but now that Songhe Tower has just regrouped, how can we have the energy to get up early to buy groceries? How many things inside and outside the store require you?

Worry, can your body and bones bear it?"

Songhe Tower has only been open for one day, and it seems to have made a lot of money, but Chen Chang knows that the next month will be the most critical moment.

Whether Songhe Tower can survive this and whether it can regain its former glory depends on this month.

Although cold drinks and popsicles have brought a lot of popularity to Songhelou, this is a restaurant after all, and it has to sell drinks, food and services. Cold drinks and popsicles are at best auxiliary products.

Although it costs more money to find a regular vegetable vendor, it saves time. Shopkeeper Qiu can spend more time and energy on the management of the restaurant.

"Do I need to discuss this matter with Madam?"

"No! Is there any use in discussing it with my wife? If you play chess with a bad chess player, it will only get worse!

As soon as Chen Chang finished speaking, he heard a girl yell: "How dare you, a young man, be so unreasonable to my wife."

Who is this?

Chen Chang looked up and saw his wife's maid, Xiao Lian, standing angrily at the door, her face flushed, and she looked really angry.

Shopkeeper Qiu also blushed, feeling deeply ashamed that he failed to stop Chen Chang from slandering his wife in time.

Chen Chang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. A maid should have the consciousness and appearance of a maid. What's the point of always meddling in the master's affairs?

Chen Chang was not used to Xiao Lian and said coldly: "Miss Xiao Lian is still up so late. Could it be that she is thinking about my popsicles?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Who cares about your popsicles?" The little girl said with a look of embarrassment on her face, "Madam was worried and asked me to come over and have a look. I didn't expect you guys to chew on me behind my back."

"Miss Xiaolian, I..."

Shopkeeper Qiu said to himself, "Don't beat me to death with a stick. I don't have any disrespect to my wife, but when I took it out at this time, it seemed unloyal, and my face suddenly turned the color of pig liver."

Chen Chang glanced at Lao Qiu. This guy had a kind of respect and fear for his wife from the bottom of his heart. Although she didn't understand anything about business, he always asked for instructions and reports, thus losing all business opportunities.

The most fearful thing in doing business is when an outsider orders an expert.

Chen Chang raised his head, looked at Xiaolian, and said with a surprised expression on his face: "What? Madam sent you here?"

When the little girl saw Chen Chang's scared look, she said proudly, "How's it going? You know you're scared, right?"

Afraid?

Do you really think I'm scared?

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Chen Chang slapped his thigh suddenly and stood up. Xiao Lian was so frightened that she hurriedly took two steps back. Chen Chang suppressed his laughter and said angrily: "You little maid, you are pretending to be Madam's wife."

She is bossing us around in name. As we all know, Madam is kind-hearted, well-educated, gentle and virtuous. Since she has handed over the management of this restaurant to me, how can she secretly send someone to keep an eye on me?

It must be you, a little girl, who came to the restaurant to act as my wife's spy because of your own cleverness. Humph, you are so self-righteous. You think you are helping my wife, but in fact you are damaging her reputation.

Xiaolian, if you want to eat popsicles, just tell the truth. I can still take out one or two popsicles. Why do you use the guise of your wife to act like a fox and a tiger? I see that you are still young, so I will leave this matter alone for the time being.

I won’t argue with you. If it happens again, huh, don’t blame me for being rude."

"you you--!"

When such a big hat was put down, the little girl was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She pointed at Chen Chang and couldn't even speak.

"Cough cough cough!"

Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but cough.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, you judge, he bullied me, you have to make the decision for me!" Xiaolian said.

Chen Chang innocently said: "Xiao Lian, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Shopkeeper Qiu is always by the side, so why don't you tell me why I bullied you?"

"You..." The little girl blushed.

"Okay, okay, Xiaolian, just say a few words less, say a few words less..."

Shopkeeper Qiu felt that his head would explode if the argument continued.

At this time, a person suddenly stepped in through the back door, it was Cheng De.

I saw him saying to Xiaolian in surprise: "Lian'er..."

There must be something going on between these two people!

Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him, but instead of being angry, Chengde smiled compensatingly.

Licking the dog.

Shopkeeper Qiu quickly said: "Chen Langjun, my wife must be worried about you and me. After all, there are so many guests today. If it remains the same tomorrow, we may not be able to handle it."

Chen Chang thought about it for a while. Wasn't this the topic we were discussing just now?

Xiaolian said seriously from the side: "Exactly, madam, you want me to ask you what your plans are for tomorrow?"
