After witnessing the opening of the inn, the villagers did not stay long. So many people gathered here, which affected the business. When they saw that there were not enough people, they all dispersed one after another.
Song Qiu went back to the kitchen house, made a dozen bowls of rice, blanched it, fished it out in a wooden barrel, and steamed it in a big pot.
When it's steamed, move it to the small stove at the back to simmer.
Cut the risen dough into pieces and make rectangular steamed buns. When the rice is steamed, move it to a small stove at the back. Put a steamer in the big pot and put the steamed buns in to steam.
The staple food was ready, and Song Qiu was not busy with anything else.
When the general was about to arrive, the tea stall began to have customers.
Then he came out and told everyone to have a rest and just wait for the guests to come.
But on the first day of opening, no one could sit still, including Yang Dalian, who stayed outside and looked at the three streets.
Du Chuanfu was also standing at the door.
Song Qiu looked at it and didn't care. He sat down and simply took out the charcoal pen and opened the account book and started to record the accounts and expenses.
When the inn opens, it has to open a separate account book again.
She is the general manager here, and every day she receives an account, and Du Chuanfu's account will automatically be paid.
The page was full, and Song Qiu was about to turn the page to continue, when he heard Yang Dalian outside saying excitedly: "Here it comes! Here it comes! Someone is coming!"
Song Qiu immediately looked up and saw a motorcade slowly approaching on the east road.
As he got closer, Song Qiu could clearly see a flag set up on the carriage, with the words "Far East Escort Agency" written on it. Looking at several large boxes tied to the carriage, he thought that this was a team of escorts.
Song Qiu counted a few and found that there were only six or seven people, but if they could do their business, it would be a good start today.
The motorcade was approaching, and Yang Dalian strode down the wooden steps, waiting for people to come over. The location of the inn was a must-see. As long as you were not blind, you could see the inn standing here.
The head escort saw that a house had been built here. It was such a different house. It didn't look like a restaurant or an inn. But he also saw the lobby inside, which looked like a place to eat.
Feeling curious.
Having reached the front, Yang Dalian walked up a few steps, clasped his fists and said: "You guys have been on a hard journey, our inn has food and accommodation, would you like to go in and have a rest?"
Song Qiu was listening inside, thinking that Yang Dalian was indeed a seasoned person, he was so polite and relaxed in greeting guests.
After hearing this, the escort leader came back to his senses and thought that he was not dazzled. This was really an inn. The last time he took this road was not long after the New Year, and this inn did not exist at that time. Unexpectedly, Duanduan
Half a year has passed and so much has changed.
Seeing that the inn still had a brand new look, the escort couldn't help but admire the owner of the inn. He was really courageous and far-sighted to think of opening an inn in this place.
The group of people set out from Jingyuan County early in the morning. They were already tired and hungry. If there was no inn, they originally planned to rest in the forest ahead and eat dry food. But now that the inn is here, they will not feel wronged.
One's own truth.
The head guard waved his hand and said to the people behind him: "Let's rest here."
When Yang Dalian heard this, he quickly led them to place the carriages and horses in the carriage shed, "Please come in with a few guests, and I will leave the horses to my care. I will ensure that they are well fed for you."
Yuan Hua also helped feed and water the horses.
Listening to this, the escort thought that the waiters in this inn were pretty good, and he became even more curious about this inn.
A group of seven people walked in. He looked up at the signboard and found that the characters were also different. He still couldn't recognize them completely?
Considering that I didn't know much about literacy, I didn't think much about it. As I walked into the inn, I talked to Du Chuanfu who came to greet me, "What is your inn called?"
"So that the guests will know that this is the Songshan Inn." Du Chuanfu responded as he led them to a table.
It turns out to be Songshan Inn,
The name is quite catchy.
When I walked in and took a closer look, I realized that the inn was all made of wood, which made my eyes brighter. I sat near the door and the window, so I could easily look at the carriages in the shed outside.
The tables designed by Song Qiu are different. They are not all square, but there are also a few large round tables, like this one, which can accommodate seven people. It is just enough to sit at one table, so there is no need to divide it into two tables.
Ah Ling quickly brought up a pot of freshly brewed tea, and Zhang Lihua also brought bowls, chopsticks and teacups from behind, setting them in place for the group of people.
Du Chuanfu followed up to entertain the guests, "I wonder what the guests would like to eat?"
The head guard was looking at the inn. Hearing this, he asked, "This inn of yours is quite novel. What does it have?"
Du Chuanfu pointed to the big wooden sign hanging on the counter and introduced: "Let the guests know that the staple food our inn serves today includes rice and steamed buns, and the dishes include boiled fish, pickled crucian carp, spicy chicken, and taro.
Roast chicken, twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, crucian carp tofu soup, winter melon meatball soup, vegetarian stir-fried sweet potato shreds, spicy and sour mountain mushrooms, what do you want to order, sir?"
He used to be a nurse, but fortunately, he followed the uncle closely and had seen the world. Now it is not difficult to entertain guests like a little shopkeeper.
When the escort heard the announcement, he was even more surprised. He understood the chicken, fish and meat, but he had never tasted the names.
What kind of boiled fish?
What does boiled fish feel like?
He has only eaten steamed fish and braised fish.
And pickled pepper crucian carp?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder this inn is opened in this area, it can't be done if you don't have some ability.
I just don't know how it tastes.
The head guard looked at the board and the price, and had an idea in his mind. He thought that the fish was slightly more expensive than what he had eaten in other small inns and taverns, but this place was out of the way, so of course it was more expensive.
He said: "Rice will be the staple food. As for vegetables, I'll have a boiled fish, a taro roasted chicken, a twice-cooked pork, a mapo tofu, a winter melon meatball soup, and a spicy and sour mountain mushroom."
I don’t know the portion size, but there are only seven of them, so five dishes and one soup should be enough for them.
Funds are limited and cannot be wasted.
The escort thought, after ordering the food, he glanced at the price and nodded, "That's it for now, serve it to us quickly, we have to hurry after eating it!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" Du Chuanfu responded and hurriedly went to the back to pass the dishes.
Song Qiu was behind the counter just now. When she heard the order of boiled fish, she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare it. At this moment, Du Chuanfu came in and ordered other dishes. She had already stir-fried the soup base.
Bring the soup base to a boil, put the fish bones in and cook, then break off a piece of tofu with your hands and throw it in. After it is boiled, put it into a large blue and white bowl, throw in the seasoned fish fillets, and cook for thirty seconds.
Turn left and right, quickly remove the pot and scoop it into a bowl.
Then scoop up the soup until it does not cover the fish fillets.
Heat oil in a pan, place dried chili knots, Sichuan peppercorns, minced ginger, garlic and raw sesame seeds on top of the fish fillets.
After the oil in the pot boils, quickly pour it on, and suddenly there will be a sizzling sound and a peppery aroma.
“Serve!”
Zhang Lihua put the food on the tray smoothly and carefully went to the front lobby to serve the food.
Ah Ling followed suit and filled the steamed rice in a small wooden bucket.
A pot of boiled fish is filled with bright red peppers that are eye-catching. The fish is overflowing with the aroma of peppers.
As soon as it was served on the table, the eyes of the escorts on the table were immediately glued to it.
