Chapter 357 The table
Chapter 357 Table
Xu Li pushed the door and got out of the car, walked towards the "Li Ji Night Market". After two minutes of entering the restaurant, Xu Li came out again and stood at the entrance of the restaurant and nodded to Zeng Yi.
"Elder General, let's go over!" Zeng Yi then smiled and asked Mr. Xu to get out of the car. He asked Xu Li to go and see in advance. First, to confirm the safety issues, second, to see if the restaurant is open and whether there are some things to eat.
Although Mr. Xu felt that Zeng Yi was a little stingy, he said nothing, got out of the car and walked over there. He knew very well that this was Zeng Yi. If it were someone else, it would be impossible for him to appear in a night market, so he should not cause any trouble for Zeng Yi.
After a few people came over, Xu Li quickly left and went to stop.
The restaurant is not big, with more than a dozen tables in it. It was not yet time to open the night market, so it was empty and there was no customer.
The boss is a man in his fifties, with dark skin, honest and honest. When he saw Zeng Yi and others coming in, he walked over with a list and smiled enthusiastically: "Sit down casually, what do you want to eat?"
"Is the mountain wine authentic?" Zeng Yi asked.
"It's all made by my own home, it must be authentic and genuine!" The boss laughed and said, "Don't worry, just drink it. I dare not praise anything else, but in the two places of Rongcheng and Baiyang, you will definitely not be able to find a more authentic mountain-moving wine than mine!"
Zeng Yi looked at Mr. Xu and found that the veteran general who had experienced many battles was already a little impatient at this time, so he said, "First bring a pound of mountain wine, then put a plate of special dishes in your store, and add one more wild vegetable cake!"
"Okay, it's going to be fine right away!" The boss swung a few times on the list, then shouted, asking the guy to serve the food, and he picked up the funnel of the wine and went to serve the wine in person.
The wine was placed in two large black tanks against the wall in the store. When the lid was lifted on it, the whole store was filled with wine.
Mr. Xu rubbed his big hand on his legs twice, laughed and said, "It's this smell! But I'm so greedy!"
The boss brought the wine over and smiled and said, "This is a pound of two taels. You are the first guests today. I will spare you two taels!"
"Then we are not polite!" Mr. Xu laughed.
"Isn't it just a 2-liang wine? If you eat delicious food, you will come often in the future!" The boss is also a businessman. Seeing that these people in front of him are customers who have never been to the store before, he would give him a 2-liang wine more, just to be a repeat customer.
The dishes came soon. Except for the wild grass cakes, the rest were cold dishes for wine, such as rabbit heads, beef, bangbang chicken, alcoholic peanuts, pickled pepper bamboo shoots... Although the store is small, the variety is quite rich, including meat and vegetable, braised and pickled, and the color is also very well matched, red, yellow, white and green, and most of the table is set.
"Do you still need hot dishes? There is a casserole, grilled fish, and fried lobster! The main food is noodles and rice!" The boss asked enthusiastically, saying, "You can order everything on the street outside. I'll ask the guy to order it!"
Zeng Yi looked at Mr. Xu and found that Mr. Xu had no intention of calling again, so he said, "Let's do this first, I'll call you later if it's not enough!"
"Okay, just shout if you have something to do!" The boss left with a smile, moved a chair and sat at the door of the store, waiting for the next group of customers to visit.
Mr. Xu couldn't wait for Zeng Yi to pour wine for himself, so he picked up the wine pot and poured a glass by himself, and then drank it in full swing. When the strong wine fell into his throat, Mr. Xu knocked the cup on the table and said, "It's so good! It's so good! This wine is so good!"
"Old Xu, it's not too late to try the wild vegetable buns first. It's not too late to put some things in your stomach before drinking!"
Zeng Yi took the wine pot and put it at his hand. He took a look outside and found that Xu Li had parked his car and came back. He sat at the door of a barbecue restaurant across the street, ordered a barbecue and ordered a pot of tea. He was eating and drinking slowly, staring at the situation on the street of the night market with vigilance.
Mr. Xu glared and reached out to grab the wine pot, but remembered what he said before, and then took his hand back in disappointment and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, listen to you, just listen to yours, eat the food first!"
The emerald green wild vegetable cake was dipped in fiery red spicy garlic sauce. After taking a bite, Mr. Xu said he felt relieved again, and his appetite couldn't help but increase. After eating several wild vegetable cakes in a row, Mr. Xu transferred the chopsticks to several other dishes.
"The chef in my house is a serious and super chef, but the taste is not as good as this small shop!" Mr. Xu put down his chopsticks, looked at the wine glass again, and said, "Xiao Zeng, this wine is good, you can try it too!"
Zeng Yi laughed, then picked up the wine pot and poured the wine, saying, "Old Xu is a drunk person. If you can say good things, then it must be a good wine. I must try it!"
"Come on, come on, let's have a meal together!" Mr. Xu picked up the cup and said, "Thank you for your warm hospitality. This is the most comfortable meal I have had in Nanjiang."
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Old Xu should take back this sentence as soon as possible! Otherwise, if others listen, I will be in trouble!"
Mr. Xu laughed and said, "What do you think of these people? I just secretly drank a glass of wine. They just seemed to be falling, crying, robbing the sky, and making a report, and giving an ultimatum, making me like that ignorant little baby. My hands are not hands, and my feet are not feet all day long. If they don't let me feel happy, I don't like them, and I never give them a good face..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard sitting next to him whispered: "Chief, please pay attention..."
"Shut up!" Old Xu's big eyes glared. You kid really have no eyesight at all. I was talking about this. You can immediately shoot me. Isn't this a blow to my stance? He shouted: "Stop saying no one treats you as a mute! With Doctor Xiao Zeng here, what should I pay attention to!"
"Old Xu, everyone is also considering your health!" Zeng Yi comforted him and said, "Just drink, but you must not indulge it. It will be harmful if you pass it!"
Mr. Xu interrupted Zeng Yi and said, "Don't let go!"
Zeng Yi didn't say much, and drank a glass with Mr. Xu. As soon as the wine entered his throat, a burning smell extended from his throat to his stomach, as if he was set on fire.
When Mr. Xu saw Zeng Yi's face, he laughed and asked, "How is it, how does this wine taste?"
Zeng Yi shook his head and smiled, "I finally know why you, Mr. Xu, are thinking about this mountain-moving wine!"
"Why?" Mr. Xu looked at Zeng Yi, "You said!"
"This wine is as domineering as you!" Zeng Yi said.
Mr. Xu laughed loudly and said, "Those who know me are Xiao Zeng!"
As a few people drank, more people appeared on the night market street. Many restaurants began to slowly get customers. Some shops with hot business placed tables on the side of the road at the door.
There are also some small vendors who push carts to the night market street, selling some stinky tofu, grilled squid, spicy and sour noodles and other flavors. The entire night market street suddenly smells of various foods.
Mr. Xu smelled the smell of stinky tofu outside, and shouted twice, "Boss!"
The boss sitting at the door ran over and asked with a smile: "Is there not enough food? What should I add?"
Old Xu pointed to the door and said, "Come on stinky tofu!"
The boss responded, but his face was a little unhappy. After rubbing for a long time, he called a waiter and gave him ten dollars and said, "Go out and buy a stinky tofu!"
Mr. Xu was a little puzzled. What happened to this boss? He was just now happy and said that he could order everything on this street. Now he asked him to buy a portion of stinky tofu, but he was so unwilling. Mr. Xu looked at Zeng Yi and wanted to understand.
Zeng Yi laughed in a low voice and said, "Old Xu, this store is operated on a fixed basis and has tables. The small vendors outside are operated on a mobile basis!"
As soon as Mr. Xu thought about it, he understood that on the surface, these merchants were all doing night market trading, but after a closer analysis, there was still a big difference here.
The fixed shops on this street all have tables, chairs and benches to entertain guests. When guests sit in other people's stores, they can order their own food. This is equivalent to a lot of extra seats in their store. The seats are benefits, and as a customer, it is also very convenient. When you enter one store, you can order all the food in the store. This is a mutually beneficial behavior.
The vendors outside are different. They only have a small cart with no tables, chairs and benches. The customers who eat there will even take up tables, chairs and benches in other people's stores for nothing. This will only steal the business of these stores, but will not add a customer to these stores, so they will naturally be disliked.
Mr. Xu looked at Zeng Yi and thought to himself that this kid is still very accurate in looking at the problem. He said it to the root of the problem. Isn’t it just a matter of a table!
Then Mr. Xu shook his head again, why bother to make things difficult for each other? They are all trying to make a living!
"The urban management is here"
At this time, someone outside shouted, and the vendor on the street pushed the cart and ran away. In the blink of an eye, there was no trace.
The waiter was a young girl, and he came back with the ten dollars in his hand and said, "The stinky tofu sold was driven away by the urban management team, but he didn't buy it!"
Mr. Xu had no choice but to give up, waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to buy it.
After a while, I saw more than a dozen urban management officers passing through the Night Market Street, fierce and fierce, shouting loudly, cursing and chasing, and chasing the small vendors. The night market street, which was still harmonious and peaceful just now, was immediately chaotic and chaotic.
Mr. Xu had a bad appetite for a moment and put down his chopsticks and frowned. He had long heard of the reputation of urban management. If you charge for the fee, do you have to make it the same as the bandits in the old society? In the war era, it depends on whether my gun can spare you! But Mr. Xu could only sulk. This is a local affairs. As a military figure, Mr. Xu was inconvenient to interfere. The army has always been a taboo, so big that even a person like Mr. Xu did not dare to touch him easily.
Seeing the urban management chase after the store door, Zeng Yi frowned. As a government administrator, he felt very disagreeing with the urban management department.
Listening to the urban management going away, Zeng Yi turned around and prepared to persuade Mr. Xu to go back. Anyway, he had almost eaten today.
Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw Mr. Xu staring at Zeng Yi with a serious expression and asked, "Xiao Zeng, your high-tech park also has urban management?"
