Farmhouse Stone Mountain

Shi Shan has been repeatedly collecting money, picking up plates, and ordering vegetables, but the long queue has not diminished at all, but it has a tendency to increase. At first, there were only a few scattered people, but now it is densely packed, and they are all running from nowhere. People who come out.

The little pumpkin who guarded the rice scratched his head, did he give you money just now?

"Hey, baby, take the money and give it to the bowl." A person handed over the money teased with a smile.

"Ah, yes, uncle"

"That was given just now." Seeing that the child was so serious and cute, the visitor reminded him with a smile.

Shi Shan took a moment to look at his son, "Little Pumpkin, you ask someone to throw the money into the wooden box. If you see that the money is lost, you give the bowl." dizzy.

The dishes in the six pots have slowly bottomed out, and there are not many left of the more than 500 dishes prepared. After finishing the last one, Shi Shan raised his head and said embarrassedly to the people who were still in line, "Sorry, there is no food today. , please hurry up next time."

"It's gone? So fast! Isn't it still there?"

"There's only cold mint and vegetable stir-fried melon shreds left, and some pork rib soup, which is not enough. If you want five yuan, I will give you some," Shi Shan said with a smile.

"Come on, I've been waiting for a long time, hey, boss, give me more pork rib soup, you're out of food"

"That's it." Shi Shan made a few more copies, all of which were charged at five cents.

"There are three more dishes, what should I eat?" Shi Shan looked up and saw that he was not the little scholar who helped him write the menu? "Hey, it's you"

"En." The little scholar nodded, not as high as a rocky mountain, and took out five Wen coins from the small bag patched with coarse cloth, and handed it over with a polite look.

Shi Shan was taken aback, took the money with a smile, and put all the dishes in the remaining pot on the plate, "here, then" then said to the two people who were still queuing up to eat at the back, "sorry, this will be true. There's nothing left, hurry up tomorrow."

"Hey, little boss, do you sell dinner tonight?" The big man who entered the store for the first time hadn't left yet, and asked while sitting on a stool.

"It's not for sale anymore, as you can see, it's already this hour, just us father and son, we are too busy, and we don't have time"

The big man took a sip of regret, and then regained his spirit, "Okay, I will come over early tomorrow morning."

“Thank you for coming”

The people in the store had almost left, and only the little scholar who came last was still eating. Shi Shan didn't clear the table, but took the money box, and carried the little pumpkin to the backyard to eat the meal that had been simmering.

Little Pumpkin felt dizzy today, and he didn't know if he had lost money for several of them, and he was burying his head in the creaking nest of Shishan in self-blame.

"Father, I see, I lost it." Shi Shan opened his eyes and said nonsense to comfort him. In fact, he was too busy to die, so he didn't have time to pay attention.

Seeing Dad's swearing words, Little Pumpkin blinked, and then regained his energy. He sat on the stool and took small bites of the pork ribs that had been simmered until the bones were a little crispy. Well, the meat was delicious.

Shi Shan took the fast meat and threw it into his mouth, starving to death.

Immediately, he filled a bowl with a bowl of spare ribs, added a few more pieces of meat, and brought it to the front hall.

The little scholar was sitting at the table eating, and a bowl of fragrant and steaming pork ribs was placed on the table.

Shi Shan laughed, "Let's eat it, it's better than the sold ones if you simmer it for a long time."

After the little scholar was stunned for a moment, he stood up and saluted respectfully, "I can't accept it"

"Eat as soon as I let you eat. I haven't thanked you for asking you to help me write the menu last time. Big man, don't whine, sit down and eat quickly. I have to go to the back to eat with my son. I don't have time." It’s polite to come and go with you here.”

What else did the little scholar want to say? Shi Shan had already gone to the backyard for dinner.

After eating, Shi Shan put the little pumpkin who was rubbing his eyes to bed, and then slowly went to the front hall to clean up the remaining mess. Unexpectedly, the dishes on the table had already been packed on a table, and the door was also closed.

Hey, this little scholar is quite energetic, Shi Shan said with a smile.

All the vegetables were sold out, there was still some brown rice left, Shi Shan leaned on the chair to cool off and counted the money one by one after cleaning up, the little pumpkin had already woken up, and was feeding Xiao Bai in the backyard.

Aside from the cost, I earned at least five taels today, depending on the situation, I should be more prepared to earn more than this amount tomorrow.

The next day, Shi Shan opened the door after preparing the meals, but he was stunned for a moment. There was already a long queue at the door, and the first one was the big man from yesterday.

"The boss can open the door, I can smell the fragrance through the door"

Shi Shan put out today's six dishes: crispy pork chops, minced beef with celery, chicken stew with mushrooms, fragrant stinky tofu, stir-fried cabbage core, cucumber in sour vinegar

"Pork, beef, and chicken are available today. The soup is cabbage tofu soup. Thank you for coming."

The little pumpkin in the shop was sitting in a state of distress. The small wooden box under his hand had been improved by Shi Shan last night. Referring to the modern piggy bank, only one can be put in at a time. He only handed over a bowl when he heard three beeps.

The first few are all strong men. After listening to what Lao Hei said yesterday, come over to have a try today. They are all workers who help in the town, and they all order three meat and three vegetables. .

Shi Shan cooked more than twice as many dishes as yesterday, but the people kept coming, and in the end it was as clean as yesterday.

The little pumpkin took a bite of a snow-white pear, and then handed it to Shi Shan's mouth. Shi Shan rubbed his sweaty head with the two of them, "Father doesn't eat, you eat, are you tired today?"

Little Pumpkin shook his head, intending to shake the small wooden box in his hand, but the real coins were all copper coins, and he couldn't shake it, "Daddy, it's heavier than yesterday, a lot of money"

"I can't see my teeth from laughing." Shi Shan picked up the pumpkin, closed the door, and planned to take a nap before coming back to clean up the pots and pans.

Once the three-day opening period of Shiji Building has passed, the number of people has not decreased at all. There are only a few stools and tables. Shi Shan felt that he might be looking for a buddy.

The shopkeeper of Chuanfulou looked at the obviously fewer customers in the store these days, and the income on the booklet. He stopped turning the abacus, and called a waiter to shout, "Why are there so few people these days? Are you guys Didn’t greet the guests well? Or did something go wrong? If you don’t greet the guests well, they all pack up and leave!” Without so many guests, I don’t know what to eat!If you don't work, you only know how to fish and make jokes!

"Shopkeeper, how dare we dare? Didn't some new restaurants open in the town a few days ago? Don't worry, shopkeeper, the customers are rushing to catch up with the new ones. After their opening period is over, the guests will naturally think that our old Chuanfu Lou Hao”

"A new store?"

"Well, there is a Phoenix restaurant in the downtown area, oh, there is another restaurant, it's on a street corner with no people."

The shopkeeper nodded, and his anger subsided a bit, "After these few days are over, you should be tighter, and let the chef in charge spend some time, I will go to inquire about Phoenix Restaurant and find out about their situation."

"Okay, shopkeeper, don't worry"
