Large swaths of morning glow on the horizon reflected the redness of everything on the earth. An inn stood in the rays of light, backed by green mountains and green waters, and shone brightly.
The mist that still lingers in the early morning is slightly dewy, exuding a light fragrance.
Open the doors and windows of the inn wide, and let the breeze sneak in through every crack. After a while, the whole inn is filled with the sweetness and coolness of the early morning.
The kitchen also has a large window and a back door. When the window is opened, there is a long river outside. The rays of sunlight reflect on the river, casting a divine light over the surface of the microwave.
There are green mountains standing in the distance. Facing such beautiful scenery, I feel energetic when I do anything.
Song Qiu rolled up his sleeves, mixed the batter, spread out the pancakes, wrapped the meat dumplings one by one, and had a bowl of egg drop soup, which was quite delicious.
Everyone had breakfast, their bellies were warm, and they got back to work.
The inn has been open for half a month, and now that it's September, everything is more orderly.
Everyone is very proficient in what they are supposed to do.
Even in the tea shed, no matter how busy they are now, Yuan Hua and his wife can keep busy in an orderly manner.
These days, Chen's steamed buns are very good at steaming buns with noodles and wontons.
And Du Chuanfu has been shopping alone for more than ten days, and he has done it very safely.
Song Qiu doesn't need to go now. He can sleep a little longer and just come directly to the inn.
Today, there are pheasants and hares sent by Wang Orion and his son, and the dishes are quite fresh.
It was another round of preparations before boarding the guests, and I came out to take a rest after finishing my work.
Song Qiu put down his sleeves, and the wind blowing in from the window was already slightly cooler.
After taking a sip of hot tea, I took out the account book and flipped through it.
It's been less than a month since the inn opened, but it's not much different. There are good days and bad days. On average, the total net income is about ten taels of silver.
Including the income from the tea shed, there are about twenty taels.
If you calculate it this way, you get about twenty taels a month, which is quite rich.
As for her bean paste and dried chili, she still only bought the one from the steward last time.
Half a month has passed and the manager hasn't come to visit again. Song Qiu doesn't know how he is using it.
But don’t worry, it’s not good for others, so it’s okay for her to keep it and use it slowly. Anyway, she can put it away, but it’s not impossible to put it away.
Song Qiu is quite satisfied with the current situation. He is taking his time, mainly to enrich himself.
After reading the account book, I saw that the tea shed outside had begun to accept guests, but no one came to the inn. Yang Dalian and others still went to help.
Not long after, guests came to the inn.
Once I got busy, time flew by quickly, and it was already too late in the afternoon.
As soon as Song Qiu sat down to rest, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
The loud noise was loud, as if thousands of troops were passing by, and it was very bluffing.
She immediately looked out curiously, and several people in the lobby also looked out. They saw more than a dozen horses galloping towards the bend of the road from the direction of Panshi Town, bringing up patches of mud wherever they passed.
Good guy, those horses are all tall and tall, and they look very energetic.
Looking at the people on the horse again, I couldn't see clearly from a distance, but I just felt that they were all very graceful and graceful.
He is so handsome when he can ride a horse, and he rides so fast, as if someone is chasing him from behind.
Song Qiu looked at it and felt that these people were running so fast. They must be rushing or racing or something, and they would not stop.
But I never thought that when they got closer, this group of people would go straight to the inn.
Yang Dalian had been watching, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
The first two people were both young men, one was wearing green and the other was wearing blue, and those following them were all dressed as guards in uniform gray clothes. They turned over and dismounted, neat and clean, and very pleasing to the eye.
The two men got off their horses, looked up at the inn sign, and then walked inside together.
Yang Dalian quickly took the horse with him and the guards to resettle it.
Inside, Du Chuanfu strode forward to greet the guests and led the guests to sit at the table. Two men sat at one table, and the other guards sat at two tables.
A Ling was busy serving tea, and Du Chuanfu said: "I wonder what your guest would like to eat? Today our inn has new dishes such as spicy rabbit cubes, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, and others include boiled fish, boiled meat slices, and pickled crucian carp.
, steamed pork with vermicelli, chicken with saliva, home-style tofu, fried pork with wild rice, sweet and sour lotus root, cold daylily, mushroom meat soup, the staple food is rice and steamed cakes.”
Fang Jie looked at the inn and listened to Du Chuan Fu Bao's dishes. He thought that as expected, Guanshi Qi said that this inn was really different. He had rarely heard of this dish's name.
He said: "The staple food is rice. I'll make two portions of what you mentioned for my accompanying guards. As for the two of us, let's have a dish of boiled fish, boiled meat slices, a spicy diced rabbit, a chicken with saliva, and a homemade tofu.
, a piece of mushroom meat soup is enough.”
Du Chuanfu wrote them down one by one and hurriedly went to the back to announce the dishes.
After taking a look, Song Qiu was already waiting in the kitchen, listening to the ordering, thinking that the income of these three tables was not small, but, could those two young men really finish so many dishes?
There are five dishes and one soup. Are these two big eaters?
But she just thought about it and started to do it in a hurry.
After more than half a month of working together with Song Qiu's professor, Wang is now able to help cook some dishes. When we are overwhelmed, we can cook together and serve the dishes faster.
For example, at this time, dishes such as wild rice stir-fried pork can be left to Wang.
Song Qiu first prepared the five dishes and one soup, and after serving them all, he continued to prepare the dishes for the two tables of guards.
By the time everything was finished, more than two quarters of an hour had passed.
It was a cold day, and Song Qiu was still sweating. He took the handkerchief handed over by Zhang Lihua and wiped his face before going outside to catch his breath.
After going out, I took a quick glance and saw that the two young men had touched several dishes and were almost done eating. They had put down their chopsticks and were drinking tea while talking to Du Chuanfu.
Fang Hui had sharp eyes and saw a little girl in an apron coming out of the kitchen. She was not the two girls who had served the dishes just now, so she thought to herself that this was the girl who was the director and in charge of the dishes that Steward Qi had mentioned.
He hurriedly asked Du Chuanfu: "That girl is the owner of Songshan Inn, right? I have something to ask of you, and I wonder if it would be convenient for her to come over and have a seat?"
Du Chuanfu listened and looked back.
Song Qiu also heard it, thought about it, and came over, "I wonder what's wrong with this young master? But the food doesn't taste good?"
"No, the food made by the girl is very appetizing. It is spicy, fragrant and full of flavor. It cannot be compared with anywhere else." Fang Hui smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
After Song Qiu sat down, he directly stated his intention.
"The Xian Fulai Restaurant in Fucheng has been getting a lot of customers these days and is making a lot of money every day. This is because it has launched a new dish of boiled fish and various spicy dishes. The boiled fish is spicy, delicious and not fishy.
The other dishes are red in color, novel and unique, and are quite popular with everyone. We happened to be familiar with Xian Fulai's boss, so we got to know the girl from the Qi management office, and that's how we came together today."
