It is already noon, but the flow of people in front of Zuixianju has not decreased, but continues to increase. This business can no longer be described as hot, it can simply be called a grand event. Since the Song Dynasty established its capital in Bianjing City,
No restaurant has ever been able to do this.
Faced with such a grand occasion, Li Qi also had a hard time. So far this morning, he has not even drank a sip of water. His hands are already shaking from exhaustion, as if he is about to lose consciousness. Fortunately, he is in his prime.
, plus he used to exercise diligently, so he could barely withstand it. Poor old Wu Furong, now he is reluctant to accept money. He has never felt that a copper coin is so heavy.
This may be the trouble of happiness!
After Li Qi handed over the last bowl of stinky tofu to the guest, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Wu Xiaoliu. He didn't even have the strength to shout now.
After Wu Xiaoliu got Li Qi's hint, he immediately jumped on the bench and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, I'm sorry, all the stinky tofu in the shop has been sold out today. I haven't eaten it, or I want to eat it again.
My fellow villagers can come early to queue up tomorrow, I’m sorry!”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
Now, everyone stopped working. They had been queuing up all morning and didn’t even see a single tofu dregs. This was really fucking deceptive. They all gathered around and shouted.
He asked them to continue selling, otherwise they would not be able to close the stall. Wu Xiaoliu had never seen such a formation before, and he was so frightened that he jumped off the stool and hid behind Li Qi.
Li Qi glanced hard at Wu Xiaoliu, but the latter refused to come out. In desperation, he had no choice but to use his last strength to shout: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to the next words--"
"
Li Qi's words were drowned out by everyone's spit as soon as he left his mouth.
"We have been waiting in line for more than two hours. How can you say we won't sell it if we don't want it? It's really unreasonable."
"What you're saying is, it's not like we don't give you money, so why don't you sell it to us?"
"No, if you don't sell stinky tofu to us, you can never leave."
"Yes, yes, we want to eat stinky tofu."
...
Seeing that everyone is getting more and more excited, some people have already begun to copy the guy. The scene is simply more exaggerated than a KFC advertisement. If they don't stop it, the consequences will be disastrous.
Wow! No way. The police, oh no, where are the government officials? Where did those government officials die?
Li Qi was about to call for help when he suddenly saw two men in uniforms standing in the crowd, and they were shouting louder than anyone else.
Damn it! Li Qi was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath, and his back was already soaked. This situation could be said to be within his expectation, or it could be said that it was beyond his expectation.
In fact, Li Qi could have told them earlier that there were only about 500 pieces of stinky tofu, but he did not do so. The purpose was to attract more people. So many people lining up to enter Zuixianju is undoubtedly the best advertisement.
, the bad reputation that Zuixianju had left in the past could be wiped away. However, Li Qi never considered that the quality of these people was so low, and those official cadres were even more annoying than the tmd urban management.
"Li——Brother Li, what should we do now?" Wu Xiaoliu hid behind him and trembled.
You ask me, I ask who to go to. Li Qi rolled his eyes and glanced at Wu Furong next to him. Seeing that his lips were trembling, he sighed bitterly in his heart. It seemed that there was no hope for counting on these two uncles and nephews.
With a sudden thought, he directly picked up the large oil pan in front of him with both hands, put it aside, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of boiling oil, and poured it on the red coals.
There was a "boom" sound.
Immediately, a tongue of flame about ten feet high emerged from the stove, frightening everyone to retreat hurriedly, staring at Li Qi with their mouths wide open.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I'm going to say next." Li Qi took advantage of this opportunity and shouted loudly: "We didn't mean not to sell stinky tofu to you, but the store's existing stinky tofu has been sold out.
If you want to make it now, it's too late. We are open for business, how can we not make any money? Do you think this is the case?" After a pause, seeing everyone was silent, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Everyone
I don’t know, but the process of making this stinky tofu is very complicated and very expensive. Moreover, this is the first time we sell it to outsiders. We don’t know if people will like it, so naturally we don’t dare to make too much in case we sell it by then.
If we don’t go out, then we, the proprietor, will be at a loss and won’t even be able to wear any underpants.”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, but after hearing what Li Qi said was reasonable, most of their resentment was gone.
Seeing everyone laughing, Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The reason why we limit one person to buy only one portion is simply to let more people eat stinky tofu, but the quantity of stinky tofu is, after all,
It’s limited, so I hope all fellow villagers and elders can understand me. But don’t worry, everyone, since everyone is so supportive, we won’t sleep or eat tonight, and we will try to make as much stinky tofu as possible. The shop will be on time tomorrow at midnight.
It's open. If you want to try something new, please come early and queue up. We always treat everyone equally when doing business in Zuixianju, first come first served, absolutely fair."
Having said this, everyone naturally didn't want to say anything more. They complained a few times, and after confirming the opening time tomorrow, they all left with regrets on their faces.
Those customers who had just walked out of the store had a look of pride on their faces, if only because they had eaten a few pieces of stinky tofu.
"call---!"
As soon as the crowd dispersed, Li Qi, Wu Xiaoliu and Wu Furong collapsed on the ground at the same time. The situation just now almost scared them to death.
"Brother Li, you really have a way to get rid of them with just a few words." Wu Xiaoliu gasped, not forgetting to flatter Li Qi.
You coward, don’t think that I will forgive you if you just flatter me. MD, you dare to use me as a shield. You will have a hard time in the future. But Li Qi didn’t have the energy to punish him now, so he glared at him,
He said: "Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you pack your things quickly? If another guest comes later, you can find a way to handle it yourself."
When Wu Xiaoliu heard this, he stood up suddenly and responded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I'll go now."
"Mr. Li, you come here to have a rest first, and I will go and collect the money first." Wu Furong also stood up, patted his butt, and then walked happily towards the store with a basket full of copper coins.
.
Li Qi let out a sigh of relief. He was so tired now that he didn't even bother to speak. He lowered his head and sat on the ground, motionless.
However, before I could take a breath, I suddenly heard someone shouting again: "Bartender, bring me some pieces of stinky tofu."
Although the voice was clear and sweet, Li Qi felt sick as soon as he heard this sentence. Without raising his head, he said angrily: "Sold out."
"Sold out?" The man asked: "How is it possible? It's not even past noon, how can it be sold out? By the way, it belongs to your shopkeeper?"
Hey, you're not done yet. Li Qi looked up and saw a little girl in her fifteenth or sixteenth year standing in front of her. She looked pretty good, with a small cherry mouth and a flushed face. It looked like she just ran here.
.But how can he still have the mood to appreciate these things now? He said: "Our shopkeeper is very busy now and has no time to entertain you. If you want to eat stinky tofu, come early tomorrow. Thank you, go slowly. I won't send you."
