One Piece: Flowing Blade-Like Flame

In this way, Zhang Yang started a new life in the proprietress’s small noodle restaurant. The proprietress’s name was Liu Xiang, and the chef was her younger brother, named Liu Cai. Originally, the family wanted him to go to the top pick, but he became a ramen chef. People gave him the nickname Big Mouth Liu.

Because of the hot business in the store, washing the dishes every day became the biggest burden, and both of them stayed up all night to wash the dishes. But now Zhang Yang is here, and the work of washing the dishes is left to him. Although he is not paid, he takes care of food and housing every day, and Zhang Yang doesn't think there is anything wrong.

At first, the lady boss felt a little worried about Zhang Yang, after all, his previous behavior was a bit like a person with abnormal brains.

However, after a few days of work, she found that Zhang Yang was pretty good. In addition to eating and washing dishes, she only sleeps. She didn't do anything out of the ordinary. There was no murder in Chang'an. She also felt more relieved about the news of the crime, and planned to keep Zhang Yang by her side all the time.

Dazui Liu was very worried about Zhang Yang at first, but he didn’t go out much except staying in the store every day. He was also very diligent in his work. The most important thing was that he didn’t have to pay his wages. This kind of people worked in the city of Chang'an. You can't find any lanterns.

Zhang Yang occasionally thought of several of his apprentices, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Drifting and Third Prince, as well as the cat mother and Ye'er girl, and the white bone spirit.

He doesn't know where they are now, how are they, or if they are still alive. Sometimes the more he thought about it, the more heartbreaking he became, and he simply let himself work hard and wash the dishes to divert his attention.

Day by day, Liuxiang’s business is getting worse and worse. The reason is that a woman from Chang'an Street has come to make a mutton steamed bun, which tastes very delicious. Not to mention that the appearance of this woman is not the same as Liuxiang. Up and down, and the shop is just across from Liuxiang's Beef Noodle Shop.

People can’t eat beef noodles every day. Even if the delicious food is often eaten, they will be greasy. Therefore, under the impact of the special smell of lamb, people have moved their food to new restaurants.

Facing the dwindling business in her store, Liu Xiang and Dazui Liu were too anxious. Seeing that even the remaining old customers ran to the opposite side, she knew that she could not sit and wait like this, so she would The store was closed, and Liu Liu and Zhang Yang held an emergency meeting.

Next to a square wooden table, Liu Xiang summoned the only two men in the store and said to them: "Comrades, the difficulties we encountered this time are unprecedented. I have opened a store for more than ten years. This is the first time. Encountering such a strong competitor, for your future, I hope that everyone can actively put forward suggestions and countermeasures to save our ten-year-old store."

Big Mouth Liu patted the table and said angrily: "I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

Liu Xiang's eyes glowed and asked, "Good brother, what did you think of?"

Big Mouth Willow said frustratedly: "I didn't expect anything."

Liu Xiang sighed, then turned to look at Zhang Yang, and asked, "What about you? Is there any way?"

Zhang Yang didn't care about these things, but it was related to the question of whether he could live here for a long time, so he thought about this matter in advance. In fact, it is not impossible to save.

He said: "Our store's business is not good, which may be due to the following reasons: First, the taste of beef noodles is not good."

Big Mouth Liu patted her open head, and said unhappily: "You can insult my fat, but you can't insult my cooking skills. Do you know that my beef noodle technique is learned from an outsider? Yes, this noodle is fresh and smooth, and this soup is so fragrant that it is definitely not a problem with beef noodles."

Liu Xiang waved his hand and said, "Next."

Zhang Yang continued: "Second, should the shop be well decorated? I saw that the opposite shop is at least twice the size of ours. Customers don’t have to wait in line to go in. The decoration is good. There are flowers and grasses. The people are pleasing to the eyes, and the guests are happy to eat. You look at our small shop, which is less than 50 square meters, and feel depressed."

Liu Xiang took a look at her store. She didn't think it before, but now that Zhang Yang said that, she suddenly felt that the store was a bit old. It is not that she has not planned to expand again, but it will cost a lot of money, and the expansion of the land also requires the approval of officials. It will take a lot of time and energy to deal with this series of problems.

She said: "I'll consider this. I have saved a lot of money over the years. Except for some of the money sent to my parents, we still have a lot left. There should be no problem with the expansion. When the time comes, we will give more to the officials. Li, this can also be done."

Zhang Yang nodded and continued: "The third one is related to our competitors. The mutton bun on the opposite side. There are so many people who go there. The taste will definitely not be bad, and the proprietress is also very beautiful. The figure is also very good, and I heard that it is also very gentle, it is the mental poison of ordinary men, it will be addictive."

Liu Xiang's face got darker and darker. She looked at her body, and then said with an unhappy face: "I'm not that bad, right? Men are all creatures who love the new and hate the old."

Zhang Yang and Big Mouth Liu shook their heads at the same time, and Big Mouth Liu said, "Sister, you can't hit a piece, I'm not like them." Zhang Yang also said, "I'm not an ordinary person."

Liu Xiang didn't believe them, but asked, "You just said the problem, what's the solution?"

Zhang Yang said: "Knowing yourself and the enemy can survive all wars. I propose to send someone to taste the taste of their lamb buns, to learn from other people's advantages, and then to improve our beef noodles. In addition, there are decorations and other things. You can also refer to it. It’s a natural beauty that cannot be changed, so I think it depends on dressing up."

Liu Xiang felt that what Zhang Yang said was reasonable, and she suddenly realized that this bald head was not simple, not as dull as it seemed. She felt that her shop was still saved, and then she asked: "Then you say, who should I send to taste it?"

Big Mouth Liu Mao then recommended himself: "I'm in this business. I can tell what tastes good or bad, so it's best for me to go. You two will wait at home. I don't believe it anymore. How can lamb compare to beef? !"

In fact, let Dazui Liu go to Liuxiang also feel relieved, because it is her own, unlike Zhang Yang, she would be suspicious of taking refuge in her family, so she happily agreed.

However, most people in this street have eaten noodles at Liu Xiang's house, and of course they recognize Dazui Liu, so Dazui Liu must be allowed to go there. In order not to let others gossiping, he must be dressed up. ..
