Chapter 458 Going Home to Count Money
The old man smelled the smell and was very satisfied. He looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Not bad, not bad. All shops opened in these hidden places have their own advantages. Leave the carriage outside and let's go in and take a look."
Fortunately, it was past dinner time and no one was waiting in front. Otherwise, they would have to wait until everyone finished eating and sat at the empty table before they could have something to eat.
They were lucky as a table of customers had finished eating just as they entered, so they sat down.
The waiter came up to clear the table and asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat, my dear guests?"
Zhou Guo said: "Bring five or six of your signature dishes, and three large buckets of rice!"
The waiter has been working in the shop for many years. He knows all kinds of customers coming and going in the north, but he doesn't care. He just smiles and says, "Okay, wait for me, sir."
Zhou Guo took the teapot from the table, poured a cup of tea for each of the three people, and said with a smile: "Master, Xiao Su, when we come back in a few days, we will choose a new restaurant. If we come five or six more times, we can eat at least five or six restaurants. In the morning, we can eat some street snacks. After coming here several times, I think we can try a few more dishes, not just all the delicacies."
The old man said happily: "Very good, the money we earn is to be used for food, what's the point of holding on to it, you are good in this respect, like me."
Zhou Su was also very happy. He liked the food the most. Anyway, all the money was earned by buying pine mushrooms from the mountains. He could just go into the mountains to pick more.
After a while, the dishes came up and the waiter was asked to pick five or six items. He actually picked six and pointed at them one by one and said, "Sir, these are our signature dishes. Sweet and sour fish, steamed meat, lamb with vinegar, crispy chicken, this is lamb soup, this is stewed eggplant, and the three big buckets of rice you requested. If it's not enough, call me for more. Enjoy your meal."
Zhou Guo couldn't help but feel a sour taste in his mouth when he heard him talk about these meats, such as sweet and sour fish and lamb with vinegar. "Master, why do people here like sour food so much?"
The old man was already serving rice. Hearing this, he said without even looking up, "This is the specialty here."
After that, he served the rice, looked around, and took the lead in picking up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, nodding repeatedly, "Well, this mutton is good, it is indeed their signature dish."
Zhou Guo waited for him to finish eating, then he took a bowl and scooped out a large bowl of rice, picked up some vegetables, walked to the carriage, took out a banana leaf, and poured all the rice on the leaf.
The black beast that was originally sleeping on its stomach suddenly stood up, came over to smell it, and started to eat it. It tasted very sweet.
Zhou Guo instructed, "You just eat here and guard our car. Don't let anyone steal it, okay?"
The one who answered her was the black head of Hei Dadan, who was busy eating.
Zhou Su took a piece of steamed meat with chopsticks and ate it. It was fat but not greasy and melted in the mouth. After that, he couldn't stop eating it. He kept taking more pieces of steamed meat and looked at Zhou Guo and asked, "Sister, do you know how to make this steamed meat?"
Zhou Guo was also eating steamed meat. She loved steamed pork with rice flour the most. Although this meat was different from steamed pork with rice flour, it was almost the same and tasted very good. Hearing this, she subconsciously shook her head, "It shouldn't be..."
But then it was time for a meal. Thinking about how many times she had cooked, it was nothing more than frying, boiling, steaming, stir-frying, mixing and roasting. She thought that she might be able to make it, but she didn't know the specific process, so she couldn't guarantee the taste. "How about I try it when I'm free?"
Even the old man stopped eating and looked at her doubtfully, "Can you make steamed meat?!"
Zhou Guo pondered, "...Hmm, it should be similar to braised pork belly. It's nothing more than marinating it with seasonings, coating it with a layer of marinated flour, and then steaming it in a pot until it's cooked."
It's very simple.
She added: "However, I can't guarantee the taste. I think it's meat so it shouldn't be bad."
After hearing what she said, the old man lowered his head and continued eating. If she was confident, this might be possible. But since she herself had no confidence, it was unlikely to succeed.
Zhou Su believed in her very much and gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Sister, I believe in you. You can do it."
Zhou Guo's mouth twitched. She usually used this trick to motivate him, and now she used it on herself.
The three of them were hungry, so after saying this, they started eating. The food tasted really good. No wonder this shop was so hidden and yet so many people came.
A few buckets of rice were not enough for three people, so they asked for three more buckets after they finished eating. Fortunately, men in the north all have big appetites, so it was normal.
After Zhou Guo finished eating, he ordered another portion of steamed meat and another portion of mutton with vinegar. They had eaten it, but their family members hadn't eaten it yet, so he took some back so that they could try it.
After finishing their meal, they got in the car and left the city while it was still light.
From the sun being high in the sky to the sun gradually moving westward and then setting, the moon and stars all rise with it.
When I got home, it was already midnight.
The lights in Zhou's house were still on. Li, Zhou Xing and Zhou Gu were all awake. Even Zhou Mai and Zhou Mi were not very sleepy. They came out of the house when they heard the noise.
Zhou Guo jumped down and was surprised to see so many people. "It's already this late, why haven't you slept yet?"
Li said, "How can I sleep well without you guys coming back? How is it going? Is everything going well?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It went very smoothly. We have sold them all. Let's go inside and talk."
A group of people rushed into the house. Hei Dadan jumped out of the car and followed them into the house.
It was already midnight and everyone was feeling a little sleepy, but as Zhou Guo and Zhou Su talked nonstop, their sleepiness gradually went away. The more they listened, the more alert they became and they couldn't help but sit up.
I don’t know how long it took, but he finally finished. Zhou Guo was so thirsty that he quickly poured himself a glass of water.
The others were silent for a long while, still not coming to their senses.
Li said, "You said that when the pine mushrooms are sold at a price of 150 kilograms, people are rushing to buy them, but there are still many people who haven't bought any?"
Zhou Xing was more concerned about the barbecue grill. "When did you bring the barbecue grill and the small stove? This is a great idea. Only you can come up with it. You can sell and make at the same time."
Seeing that they didn't get to the point, Zhou Mi couldn't wait to ask directly: "So how much did you sell today?"
Everyone, look here, this is the most important thing.
Zhou Guo smiled and threw the heavy bag onto the small table, "Then let's all count together."
After saying this, he moved the small dining table away and poured all the silver and money in his bag onto the kang. There was a rustling sound, and the white copper coins rolled all over the kang, piling up like a small mountain.
This kind of scene only happens when sheep mushrooms are sold in spring, but at that time there are more sheep mushrooms than pine mushrooms, and there are also wild boars, pine mushrooms, and wild vegetables. Today there are only pine mushrooms!
Everyone was so shocked by the money that they forgot to speak for a moment.
