145 Chapter 145 Opening (1)
“Yes, Mistress, it’s all done. They should be here soon.” Just as Fang Qing finished speaking, someone knocked on the back door.
He immediately went to open the door and saw a few young beggars walking in. The group leader asked, “Brother Fang, we’re here. Do you mean what you said?”
“Of course, two pounds of polished rice per person.” Fang Qing affirmed and looked at Zhou Ying. “Our boss is here. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her.”
“That’s right. We agreed on two pounds per person. Why don’t we give it to you now? ” Zhou Ying said.
“No need, but can you change it to black noodles? That way, we can eat for a longer time.”
“No problem, three pounds of black noodles each, and I’ll give you one pound of lard as a gift.”
“Then it’s settled.” The leader immediately agreed, then turned around and pulled Fang Qing to ask for the brochure, as if he feared she would return on her words.
Zhou Ying smiled and didn’t speak. Instead, she picked up the sliced lard and went to the kitchen to stir-fry the hotpot base ingredients. The locals here rarely ate spicy food, so she made a mild spice base.
At the same time, she also boiled a pot of bones with mushroom soup.
“If you don’t know, how would I know? If there’s good food, just eat it.” The patriarch warned.
The opening was a big day. If they dared cause trouble, he would definitely teach them a good lesson.
Father Gu and Second Uncle Gu were embarrassed, but they weren’t stupid. It was obvious that Chengrui and his wife were going up the ladder, so why would they find trouble with them?
Even if there were something, they would discuss it in private.
Next, a few neighbors on the same street came in. Zhou Huaiming came in with a few county and town officials when it was almost time to open.
Seeing Sun Hongliang, he was stunned. “Eh? It’s you, where’s...”
When he said this, he suddenly remembered Gu Chengrui’s request and immediately changed his words. “Should I call for the head chef?”
“You’re talking about Manager Zhou, right?”
“That’s right, Manager Zhou. I’ve brought her a few distinguished guests today, so it’s better for her to come out and get to know them.
“Please wait a moment.” Sun Hongliang turned and ran to the back kitchen. He called Zhou Ying out, and Gu Chengrui followed.
