"Oh! You have to ask Shopkeeper Liang for this. Shopkeeper Liang and I are really familiar with each other. Wait a minute, I'll tell the shop a few words and then I'll go with you to welcome the guests." Gu Chengyu saw Shopkeeper Zhou and the waiter who just came in to pass the news.
The accountant on the counter said a few words and walked towards them.
"You can go now, Brother Gu. Does the ox cart in front of the door belong to your family? This welcomes guests at the front of the street. It would be faster to go by ox cart!" At this time, there were not many people on the street yet.
, the bullock cart can drive.
"It's from our family! The ingredients are on the ox cart, so let's go there in the ox cart! I feel sorry for Shopkeeper Zhou to go with us in the ox cart." Father Gu knew that Shopkeeper Zhou usually travels by horse carriage when he goes out.
Yes, since when have you ever ridden a bullock cart?
"Brother Gu will be so polite if you continue, and I will be angry." Shopkeeper Zhou said pretending to be angry.
Father Gu chuckled.
The oxcart stopped in front of the welcoming door. When Gu Chengyu saw that the welcoming door was closed, he remembered that it was not the time to eat. The restaurant must have been busy during lunch, and it was only morning now.
It's past five-thirty, so the building must not be open yet! However, since shopkeeper Zhou can bring them here, he must also be able to bring them in.
"There is no door open in front of us when we welcome guests. We have to go around to the small door in the back kitchen. Brother Gu, you can go around here with the cart. They usually open the back kitchen in the morning when someone wants to send someone off."
Come here with the ingredients." Sure enough, shopkeeper Zhou had known about this situation for a long time.
The ox cart carried the three people to the small door of the back kitchen where guests were welcomed. Father Gu stopped the ox cart, and shopkeeper Zhou took the lead to get out of the cart.
At this time, a waiter came out from the back kitchen of the restaurant and was preparing to unload the ingredients on a carriage.
"Huh? Shopkeeper Zhou? What brought you here today? You came to the kitchen so early in the morning." The waiter was also surprised when he saw shopkeeper Zhou, and then started joking with shopkeeper Zhou.
.
"You two monkeys are still making fun of me. Where is your shopkeeper? Is he here at the moment? I have something to ask him, so I asked him to come see me!"
Seeing the familiarity between the two, Gu Chengyu knew that Shopkeeper Zhou was a regular visitor to the restaurant. Everyone in the restaurant probably knew Shopkeeper Zhou.
"Hey! I'll call it for you right now!" The waiter was also a discerning man. Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou had brought someone here so early in the morning, he must have come to see their shopkeeper for something serious. It was just a joke, and he didn't dare
It delayed the business.
Gu Chengyu and the others waited outside for a while, and then heard a loud voice coming from inside. "Haha! What's wrong, Lao Zhou? You came to me so early in the morning, do you want to invite me to taste your top-quality Biluochun?"
Gu Chengyu was a little curious about the owner of the voice, so he stared at the small door. He saw a tall and strong man coming out of the small door. Like Shopkeeper Zhou, he was also made of silk and satin. Looking up, he saw this
He looks very rough. Yes, he looks rough. He has thick black eyebrows, eyes as big as bull's eyes, and a somewhat messy beard.
"You old boy, what's the matter? I can't come to you when I have nothing to do? If I give you Biluochun to drink, it will be a cow chewing peony! You are big and thick, but you still like to drink tea like others. Just drink it the way you do, just a pot
There's not enough tea for you." Shopkeeper Zhou became angry when he thought about this. He drank all the good tea he had in the past by this man. At the end, he wiped his mouth and said it was bitter. But recently, he didn't know whether he had smoked.
Why are you so crazy? You keep chasing him to drink his good tea, so scared that he didn't dare to come for three days!
"Hey! I said you were here so early in the morning, so you came to tease me?" Shopkeeper Liang walked up to the Gu family's oxcart while he was talking.
"I don't have that spare time. Let me tell you, this is one of my elder brothers. They have fresh ingredients and want to sell them to your restaurant. You can ask them." Shopkeeper Zhou pointed at Mr. Gu and the others, and faced Liang
The shopkeeper said.
Gu Chengyu saw that Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Liang were good friends who often interacted with each other, so Shopkeeper Liang would probably give Shopkeeper Zhou some credit and take a look at their things.
"This is shopkeeper Liang, right? My surname is Gu. This is my old son. We have brought a fresh ingredient. Do you think?" In fact, when Mr. Gu arrived, he felt a little scared, considering such a big restaurant.
, will you want their fungus? If Shopkeeper Liang doesn’t like their fungus, wouldn’t it mean that Shopkeeper Zhou will also lose face? Father Gu regretted thinking about it.
When Gu Chengyu saw his father shrinking a little, he knew that his father had lost confidence in the fungus. No, it was already here, and they must not back down.
"Oh? What fresh ingredients? Take it out and let me take a look." Shopkeeper Liang was not as casual as he was with Shopkeeper Zhou when he was facing Father Gu and the others. His expression became solemn, as if he was doing business.
Gu Chengyu climbed onto the bullock cart and took out a cloth bag from the cart, which contained about a kilogram of dried fungus. "Shopkeeper Liang! This is the fungus my family found on the mountain. It is very delicious when used in cooking! My family also made it yesterday.
But, if Shopkeeper Liang wants to try it! Then we would like to ask Shopkeeper Liang to borrow the kitchen for use." Gu Chengyu didn't care about him as a little kid at this time, and whether others would listen to him or not, he still told the matter straight to the point.
If you haven’t tried it yet, why don’t you miss this opportunity?
"Oh? Your little kid can talk? Show me this thing!" Shopkeeper Liang found it interesting to see such a little kid speaking seriously, and even the lines on his face softened.
"Yes! Yes! Shopkeeper Liang! Xiaobao! Show the fungus to Shopkeeper Liang!" Seeing that Gu Chengyu had already said it, Mr. Gu had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Gu Chengyu to hand over the fungus.
Shopkeeper Liang took the cloth bag and opened the mouth of the bag. At first glance, he saw that this thing was black and had been dried into dried food. It was indeed not the kind of food he had seen. Shopkeeper Zhou next to him also looked over curiously.
Fungus in cloth bag.
In fact, when he gave the bag to Shopkeeper Liang, Gu Chengyu was unsure. He was not sure whether Shopkeeper Liang knew the fungus. If he also heard the rumor that fungus can eat people, then they might all be kicked out by Shopkeeper Liang.
Get out, this is a restaurant after all, and this is a matter of life and death.
Shopkeeper Liang might not listen to their excuses. After all, not everyone believes in him like Dad Gu and the others. However, looking at the expressions of Shopkeepers Liang and Zhou, don’t they know the fungus and have never heard the rumors about it?
?No matter what, things have developed for the better.
"This is really a novel ingredient. I can lend you my kitchen. Come with me!" Shopkeeper Liang was still a little curious about this black thing and didn't know what it tasted like.
"Shopkeeper Liang! This ingredient may need to be paired with other ingredients. I plan to use it to make two dishes. I don't know about other ingredients." Gu Chengyu was relieved to hear that he could use the kitchen, but just a fungus would be too monotonous.
.
"You can just use this!" Shopkeeper Liang waved his hand and asked the waiter just now to take the father and son to the kitchen. Before leaving, he asked Shopkeeper Zhou to come sit with him for a while.
Shopkeeper Zhou turned around and smiled encouragingly at the Gu family and his son.
