Linshui County, West Street.

Lee Kee Hotel.

The door is empty.

Li Shouye walked up and down the hall with his hands behind his back, very anxious.

It's now half past three in the afternoon.

From morning till now, not even a single table of customers has come through the door.

The restaurant has been open for a week. Not to mention making money, it has lost more than 200 yuan.

If this continues, the door will be closed.

Li Shouye's wife Du Yunfang held a fly swatter and swatted flies.

Daughter-in-law Ding Qiuxia walked in from the door and complained:

"Eh~! I've been waiting for customers all day, but none of them want to come in. I'm exhausted. Mom, give me a glass of water.~!"

"How can you open a restaurant like this and the proprietress goes to the street to attract customers? What a loss!

Li Shouye glared at Ding Qiuxia and said coldly:"Hmph!" Do you still know about the loss? I would rather you fall than this restaurant!"

"I don’t have the ability to imitate others and open a restaurant. It has only been open for a few days and there is not a single customer. So far, the restaurant has not made any money. It is all losing money. If the losses continue like this, the restaurant will no longer need to be opened. Do you still want to be a restaurant? Boss lady? Have your spring and autumn dreams!"

Li Shouye had a hot temper, like a firecracker, and spoke in a very strong tone.

Ding Qiuxia's eyes turned red after being scolded, and she said aggrievedly:"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't want the restaurant to lose money. Isn't it because I didn't recruit a cook? As soon as Li Yan recruits a cook, won't business get better?

Li Shouye said angrily:"What a goal!" That bastard has been searching for several days and can't even see a ghost!"

"If you just listened to me and opened a breakfast shop, how could it be like this?!"

Du Yunfang brought a glass of water to Ding Qiuxia, then walked over and patted Li Shouye on the back.

"Oh, old man, why are you so angry? Say less and take care of your body. Don't get sick from anger."

"snort!"Li Shouye picked up his enamel cup and took a deep sip of tea. He glanced at Ding Qiuxia and said,"Have you finished the water? After drinking, continue to go to the door to attract customers."

Ding Qiuxia stomped her feet and reluctantly walked out of the restaurant.

Li Shouye was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger and could only smoke.

"Hey, old man, stop smoking."

Li Shouye slapped the cigarette case on the table, glared at Du Yunfang, and said:

"You are used to it. Neither of the two bastards is a worry-free one. The younger one is a bad learner and idles around all day long without looking for a job. With life like that, divorce will be a matter of time!"

"The older ones are disobedient and have no abilities, but they always think that they can make a fortune without knowing how much they weigh.……"

Li Shouye has a good reputation, but now his two sons have no future, making him unable to hold his head high in the village with his old face.

Li Shouye has two sons and one daughter. His daughter, Li Daya, is the second oldest and married to the provincial capital very early.

Li Daya's son is quite promising. He has studied well since he was a child and is now taking the college entrance examination.

But Li Shouye was just his grandfather and had no influence on him.

At this time.

Li Yan came back from outside and walked into the restaurant.

Li Shouye asked hurriedly:"Have you found the cook?"

Li Yan lowered his head and shook his head.

"I have searched several surrounding counties and cities but have not found a suitable one. Now that chefs are very popular, I will have to wait until the Chinese New Year before I have a chance to look for it.

Li Shouye raised his eyebrows:"Are you still waiting for the New Year?"! How long can your restaurant last?

Li Yan said:"In the worst case, I'll do it. Although I'm not very good at it now, I'll get better at it over time, and the dishes will definitely become more delicious as I cook them.""

Li Shouye was so angry that he laughed.

"Haha, are you now learning to be a cook? Use your customers as your food testers? You are really good……"

Li Yan had no confidence and said:"Hold on, hold on for a month or two, it should be fine.……"

Li Shouye was so angry that he didn't want to speak.

And at this time.

Not far away diagonally opposite the Lee Kee Hotel.

Suddenly, there was a"cracking" sound of firecrackers.

Pedestrians on the street ran over to watch the excitement

"Look! A new restaurant has opened. What's it called Liu Kee Restaurant?"

"Go check it out, I wonder if it tastes good!"

"A new store has opened and there should be discounts. Go and check it out!"

……

At this moment, Ding Qiuxia hurried in and said in a panic:

"Unfortunately, a Liu Ji restaurant suddenly opened across the street. I saw Liu Shirong standing at the door to welcome guests. It seemed like it was owned by his family.……"

Li Shouye's expression changed and he walked out quickly

……

……

Anlu County, North Street, Market. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Li Xia drove the donkey cart to the market.

In the northeast corner of the market, many people gathered, with anxious waiting looks on their faces.

When they saw Li Xia's donkey cart, they suddenly became excited.

"Let me go, boss, you are finally here, I am just a little bit away from starving to death!"

"Young man, can't you be earlier? I didn't even eat lunch on purpose, just waiting to eat your steamed buns!"

"I waited until my hair turned white, and finally it’s here"

"Boss, you are three minutes late!"

"These three minutes are more difficult than three years!"

……

A group of customers complained with their mouths, but their bodies had formed a queue of their own accord.

Li Xia cupped his hands and apologized:"Sorry everyone, I made too many buns today. I'm a few minutes late. Please forgive me."

Someone joked:"Boss, don't forgive me, just give us a discount.""

"Boss, don’t give any discounts. If you do, I’ll be sorry for your buns!"

"It makes sense, such delicious buns are worth the price!"

"right! What a discount! I am willing to pay for this kind of bun!"

……

Li Xia smiled, this group of customers was quite interesting.

Li Xia didn't waste any time. Everyone was waiting to eat steamed buns, so he quickly opened one.

"Boss, don’t talk nonsense. I’ll give you 20 each of the three kinds of steamed buns. I’ve already calculated the money for you. Ten yuan and two cents. Here you go."

"OK, thanks."Li Xia collected the money and quickly took the buns from the steamer.

"I want ten leeks and shrimps!"

"Boss, give me fifteen pork buns and ten chives and shrimps"

"Boss, help me fill these ten aluminum lunch boxes with steamed buns, and I’ll pack them."

This aluminum lunch box customer attracted dissatisfaction from other customers

"Ten aluminum lunch boxes, how many steamed buns can be packed in them? This is too much!!"

The aluminum lunch box customer rolled his eyes and said:

"By what score? Look at the back, there is someone holding a washbasin, so what am I doing?"

As soon as these words came out, a group of customers turned their heads.

Sure enough

, there was a customer holding a flower basin in the queue.

This customer did not shy away, raised the flower basin in his hand, and said:

"Is there any law that stipulates that you can’t use a washbasin when buying buns?"

"I can’t stand it anymore, boss, just bring me a basket!

Li Xia:"Sir, calm down. There are a hundred buns in a basket.""

"Um...then half a cage...forget it, let's get twenty pork buns"

"……"

"……"

Yang Guiru and Xiao Zhang walked through the bustling market and arrived at the northeast corner.

Yang Guiru looked around and found that Zhang Ji and Chen Ji's two steamed bun shops were not open.

"Huh? Why are neither Zhang Ji Baozi nor Chen Ji Baozi open?"

Xiao Zhang explained:"You don't know this, they all sold it in the morning instead."

"Why?"

"Why else, because of that new steamed bun stall?~!"

Xiao Zhang pointed to the long queue not far away.

Yang Guiru was surprised:"What a long queue, the business of this store is so good~!"

"Needless to say, let’s go and line up to buy steamed buns!"
