"Brother Li, you are really good at joking and letting children go. Do you not want to eat it? Be careful that your son touches the vegetables. Don't talk about eating hot pot then, let's eat northwest wind."

"Even if you really let the child go, brother Li, do you dare to let it go? Be careful that your sister-in-law will scold you bloody. Hahaha, who doesn't know that you are henpecked?"

"You guys are going to make fun of me. Am I afraid of my wife? I respect her. Besides, I'm just joking. I can't bear to let you go. I can't eat hot and spicy food by myself. My son is at the table. Just stand in the middle."

“…”

Yan Xia almost laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up. These talents.

What a rich imagination.

"Guests, don't worry, we are ordering table by table. Although there are waiters in the restaurant, they don't understand on the first day of work. The four of you follow my example and order, do you hear me?"

Yan Xia picked up the menu and walked to the first table, followed by Qian Rong, Qianhua, Qianfu and Qian Gui.

They watched carefully.

Somewhat nervous.

"Sir, our hot pot is spicy. You must have had a hot pot before. It's similar to that, but the bottom of our hot pot is not water. Can you eat spicy food? I suggest you order a slightly spicy bottom. This is your first time. Don’t take it too hard.”

Yan Xia handed them the menu, each holding two wooden boards and looking at it.

And she also had two identical boards in her hand.

In her right hand, she holds her homemade charcoal pencil, which can be used to draw marks on the wooden board. It can also be easily wiped off by gently wiping it with a wet rag.

It’s also not easy to miss the dishes ordered by guests.

After all, there are many hot pot dishes, which are different from those in restaurants.

She was afraid that her attendants would not remember it.

If the dish is missed, the guests will be unhappy.

Not worth the candle.

As for the maid Yan Xia, she wouldn't let them come to the front of the shop.

Some of the guests were not of high quality, and if they drank some wine, they would definitely get into trouble. The maids were also human beings. Yan Xia didn't want them to be humiliated, so she stayed behind to prepare food and wash dishes.

The guests on the first table ordered slightly spicy pot bottoms, a beef platter, a marinated platter, a pork tenderloin and a plate of lamb, a plate of winter melon slices, a plate of potato slices, a plate of cabbage and a bottle of sake.

That adds up to five and a half taels of silver.

Because beef is too expensive, it accounts for the majority.

"Sir, the total you ordered is five and a half taels of silver. Do you want to add some more? This way, you can subtract two taels from the six taels, which is more cost-effective. I see that the six of you should be able to eat it."

"Okay, shopkeeper Yan, you can take care of it. Let's get some half a tael of food together."

These people are easy to talk to and are regular customers of her pastry shop.

They looked familiar, and Yan Xia had said hello to them several times.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask for extra dishes. After all, she received half a tael less and got an extra dish as a gift, which was a huge loss.

"Okay, then I will add a plate of sheep and scorpion for you, which is exactly half a tael. This will subtract 2 taels. You will only need to pay four taels later. For the opening event, your table will be given a pot of sake and two cups of green plum juice or Ice soy milk, would you like ice soy milk or green plum juice?"

The soy milk was delivered in the morning. While it was still hot, I added sugar and stirred it evenly. It was left to cool for an hour.

It's probably even colder now.

"It's very cold. I don't want iced soy milk. Let's have two glasses of green plum juice. Brother Zhao happens to be a good drinker. Brother Zhou is not very good at drinking. Let's give them two cups of green plum juice."

"Okay, I understand. Guests, please chat slowly. The food will be served in a moment."

Yan Xia asked the four people to take back the menus, and then handed the checked menu No. 1 to Qian Rong.

"Go to the backyard to prepare. Remember to be careful when putting on the charcoal fire and the bottom of the pot."

"Yes, master."

Qian Rong picked up the menu and hurried to the backyard.

Yan Xia stood at the counter and watched the other three attendants working.

They all did a good job. They took orders for each table separately. By the time the remaining 6 tables had finished ordering, Qian Rong had already placed the charcoal plate and iron pot on table No. , with the hot pot base and beef backbone in the pot. Under the blessing of temperature, the old soup merges with the water.

There are also sliced ​​onions, ginger, garlic and fragrant leaves floating on top.

The scent dissipates immediately.

This caused the guests at other tables to glance here frequently.

Yan Xia made a beautiful curtain at the door to block the cold wind from coming in.

But it can't stop the fragrance from wafting out.

It's time for dinner.

Soon the second floor was also full.

The four waiters were very busy.

It's the charcoal fire and the food.

There were also a few tables of guests who felt the food was too spicy, so they added a few cups of iced soy milk to relieve the spiciness.

No more guests call me cold.

After a few mouthfuls, I was sweating all over.

hot.

so spicy.

Everyone was hissing.

But the strong taste stimulates them to want to eat it more and more.

Almost every table had additional dishes and drinks, but they didn’t drink much sake.

Maybe it’s because it’s already spicy in your mouth, and it becomes even spicier when you drink alcohol?

Yan Xia smiled and said nothing.

People continued to enter the restaurant, and it was so popular that some people couldn't even get a seat. Yan Xia had an idea and thought of the modern calling mechanism. She cut a piece of paper, wrote the number on it, and handed it to the customers in line.

After a table has finished eating and has been cleaned up, the ordering begins.

The iced soy milk had been sold out a long time ago, and many of the vegetables that had been cut and prepared were gone in the afternoon. Yan Xia had no choice but to ask Jin Lu to go to the village outside the city to buy them immediately. After all, there were no vegetable sellers in the afternoon. Fortunately, there was enough meat. many.

From morning to dark.

The restaurant never had a break.

Lunch was delivered by sweet-scented osmanthus and wintersweet.

They took a few bites of food and started working again.

It was getting dark, and all the guests had finished eating and left. There were no new customers. Yan Xia hung a sign on the door saying that the store was closed and sat at the counter on the first floor to rest. She looked at the waiters and maids who looked tired. A dead dog, and the youngest son and daughter-in-law are not much better.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work today. Go to bed early after cleaning. If you persist for three days, there will be half as many people and you won't be so tired anymore. Jin Lu Lamei and I will go back to the pastry shop. Qian Rong, please take care of the restaurant. Close the front and back doors, do you understand?"

"It's the master."

After Yan Xia gave the instructions, he took away all the money and account books on the counter.

They had already eaten, and it was time to go to bed at this point. There was no nightlife in Shuangqiao Town.

Return to the pastry shop's backyard.

The children are not asleep yet.

Probably waiting for them to come back.

"Okay, let's all go back to our rooms and sleep."

Yan Xia sent her children away and returned to her room.

She wanted to lie on the bed and rest for a while, but Xiaoji came in with a basin of foot-washing water and said he wanted to help her wash her feet.

Before Yan Xia could react, Xiao Ji squatted on the ground to help her take off her shoes and socks. As soon as her feet were soaked in, Yan Xia sighed comfortably. The warm and slightly hot foot washing water made her tiredness from the day disappear. She looked at the basin and saw that there seemed to be some dried mugwort in it.

Xiao Ji didn't know where he learned the kung fu, so he helped Yan Xia wash and knead it.

It's simply too open.

Yan Xia sat on the edge of the bed, counting money in the ledger.
