There are more diners today, but Zhu's has limited staff. Liu Daqiang helps Uncle Liu in the kitchen, Liu Dagang is responsible for making the fire, and Liu Mu helps collect money at the counter. Only Liu Dadao, Liu Dachui and the other three are the waiters who greet diners, serve tea, water, and dishes, etc. They are so busy that they can't handle it all.
Just now, Liu Dadao came over and brought two pots of free hot tea to the two tables of foreman Liu and his friends, and added four chairs to each table. Before they could order, diners who wanted wine called them into the restaurant to get it.
"How about this, Zhuji has a lot of people, and we have a lot of people too. Zhuji has added four chairs to each of our tables, and nearly half of the people still don't have seats. Let's go order food in two groups. Those who don't have seats go order food first, and those who have seats sit down first. On the one hand, they occupy seats, and on the other hand, they keep an eye on other tables that are about to finish eating, and grab a table for us in time."
Foreman Liu sat down and poured himself a cup of tea provided free of charge by Zhu's. After drinking a large cup, he clapped his hands to attract the attention of the laborers, and made arrangements while gesturing with his hands.
"Liu Tou is right."
"Okay, let's go order the food first. Keep your eyes peeled and take up a seat if there's an empty seat."
Everyone agreed with the arrangement made by the foreman named Liu. After the standing laborer instructed the sitting laborer to help grab a seat, he turned around and went to the restaurant to order food.
"Isn't Zhu's afraid of losing money? Not only are the rice and steamed buns free, but the tea is also free. I think this tea is better than what we drank during the Chinese New Year."
Li Fu, who was sitting, followed the foreman Liu's example and gulped down a cup of hot tea provided free of charge by Zhu's, and asked with some concern.
"That's right. In other restaurants outside, who doesn't charge for rice and steamed buns? One penny for a bowl of rice is a fair price. We have to eat two big bowls. And who doesn't charge for tea?"
"Take Sihai Restaurant for example. Not to mention hot tea, even boiled water won't be poured for you unless you pay."
"That's right. Is the boss of Zhuji a good man or a fool? If he keeps providing services for free, isn't he afraid of losing money?"
Others felt the same way.
Although Zhu Ji had just opened, although they were visiting for the first time, and although they had not yet tasted the food, Zhu Ji's service had already exceeded their expectations and made them extremely satisfied.
Rice and steamed buns are free, tea is free, and the food is not expensive. For six cents, you can get one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, and for ten cents, you can get two meat dishes and one vegetable dish... ...
This is simply too good to be true for these hard laborers. They could never have imagined in their dreams that there would be such an affordable restaurant.
It’s so affordable, of course they want to enjoy it every day.
So, they couldn't help but worry about Zhu Ji. They had enough rice and steamed buns, the vegetables were cheap, and the tea was free. If this continued, they would lose money. If they lost money every day, Zhu Ji would not be able to continue operating. If Zhu Ji could not continue operating, then they would not be able to enjoy such benefits.
"They provide free rice and free tea, is the food too bad?!"
"Uh, no?"
"No, we ate it last time. It was so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue into my stomach."
"No?! If his food is delicious, why would he offer free rice and tea? It's unnecessary. Unless the food in his restaurant is so bad, he has to do this to attract customers."
"I think what Ergen said makes sense. Many of the meat dishes in his restaurant are made from pig offal. What are pig offal? They are very smelly. How can they be delicious?!"
As they were chatting, one of the force members suddenly raised something with some concern, which caused controversy among several force members.
"Haha, those of you who are sitting down, please give us your seats..."
Just as they were arguing heatedly, five or six of Li Fu, who had just entered to order food, came out of the store carrying a rectangular metal multi-purpose tray, and shouted with laughter at Li Fu who was sitting from a distance.
"Give up your seat?! What are you in such a hurry for?"
"Order a dish and see how awesome you guys are..."
The person sitting there replied with a smile and turned his head to look.
When they turned around and saw Li Fu holding the multi-purpose dinner tray, their faces suddenly lit up.
"Hey, what you are carrying are... dishes..."
"No way, how come you guys brought out the food so quickly?!"
"Is Zhu Ji's cooking chef your relative?! He made it for you so quickly?!"
The laborers who were sitting there were stunned when they saw the laborer coming over with the dishes, their mouths opened as wide as boxes.
Even the calmest foreman named Liu opened his mouth in surprise.
The sign hanging outside Zhu Ji said that Zhu Ji serves food quickly, and dishes are served in a cup of tea. But this is too fast. After you went in, we just said a few words, and you not only ordered the dishes, but also brought them out.
"Haha, if you don't give us a seat, how can we eat..." The laborers who came over with the dishes all had rosy cheeks and their faces were as smiling as flowers.
"Bah, look at your smug faces..."
Erlangzi and the others spit in envy and hatred, and gave their seats to the porters who came over with the dishes.
"This Zhu Ji is really thoughtful. This dinner plate is really clever. It can hold both rice and vegetables."
"You guys ordered two meat dishes, and there looks to be a lot of meat... It smells pretty good, but I don't know what it tastes like..."
"Heidan, let's make a deal. How about I help you taste it?"
After Li Fu, who was carrying the dishes, sat down, Erlangzi and the others stretched their necks to look at the clean, bright pork intestines, offal and other meat dishes on the table, and their voices were drooling.
Look at the greedy
It smells even more delicious...
Li Fu, who said he wanted to help Heidan taste it, quickly grabbed a piece of pig intestine and stuffed it into his mouth without waiting for Heidan's consent.
That’s right, I didn’t even use chopsticks, I just pinched it with my hands.
"Sizzle..."
One bite and your mouth is full of oil.
"Well... ... "
After taking a bite, the man burped as if he was constipated and looked bitter.
"What's wrong? Is it unpalatable?!"
This man's reaction immediately made the other people who were about to eat put down their chopsticks and asked worriedly.
“Huff…Huff…”
Next second.
I saw this person let out a gurgling sound, and then continued to chew and roll the fat intestines in his mouth. While chewing, his mouth was open and he kept exhaling, and his hands kept fanning his mouth.
It turns out it’s hot!
Everyone was speechless, "It's hot, just spit it out."
"No... ... "
The man glared and spoke incoherently. Even though it was so hot that he grimaced, he was reluctant to spit it out. He even caught the oil and water that flowed to the corners of his mouth with his fingers and licked it back with his tongue.
"Depend on!"
It was so pathetic that everyone was speechless.
After the man finished eating, he wanted to eat more, but Heidan hit him back with a chopstick.
"tasty.
"tasty."
“So delicious...”
Soon, after the Li Fu who had the dishes tasted a bite, they all felt like they had found a treasure, praised the dishes highly and couldn't stop eating with their chopsticks.
