Chapter 183: 23 Things in Deyue Tower
Chapter 183 Two or Three Things about Deyue Tower (I)
Time: The fourth day after returning from the crossing, a little after 7pm.
Location: Deyue Building, a small restaurant with a grand name but actually just a fly-infested restaurant.
"Wow! I haven't been here for a few days, but Boss Hu has really upgraded his business." After walking to the door of the store, Lao Zhao couldn't help but mutter.
While muttering, he did not forget to use skillful movements to pick up a number from the second-hand number-taking machine at the door.
After taking a quick look, Lao Zhao could see that it said: No. 1037, there are 51 people in line ahead.
Lao Zhao is 59 years old this year. He works as an officer in an institute. He will retire in a few months and stay at home to take care of his grandchildren and dance square dance.
To be more precise, the last time Hu Biao and others traveled back to the opening of Deyue Tower, Black Star's abnormal behavior when catching a thief due to "post-war stress reaction" was discovered by Old Zhao by this person.
After an investigation, they found nothing unusual about Black Star's identity, so they had to let him go.
However, due to the responsibility on his shoulders, Lao Zhao followed up with an investigation and discovered this small restaurant called "Deyuelou".
Originally, he had come to the store with the intention of conducting a plainclothes reconnaissance to see if there was anything wrong with the store owner, who seemed to have a good relationship with Black Star.
The result? After eating it once, Lao Zhao became addicted.
No matter whether it is oil-splashed noodles, twice-cooked pork with rice, or roujiamo, each one makes Lao Zhao extremely satisfied, and he will feel craving for it if he doesn't eat it for a few days.
After get off work today, I said hello to my wife and came here for a meal.
After getting off the car, I saw that Deyue Building had greatly increased in size.
The reason I say this is that after a few days of work, the two storefronts next door have been connected and have undergone some simple decoration according to the drawings provided by Annie.
Just this morning, these new stores were officially put into use.
This brought the number of rectangular fast food tables in Deyue Building to twenty.
A table can accommodate four people. When sharing a table, it does not count the kind of dining style where people sit on small stools and use a plastic stool to block the table.
Today, Deyue Tower can accommodate eighty people dining at the same time.
Compared to when Hu Biao just opened the business a month ago, there were only five or six tables. The scale is completely upgraded, isn't it?
Unfortunately, even though the scale expanded several times in an instant, it was still far from enough for Deyue Building's booming business.
At this moment, not only were there people sitting at every table in Deyue Building, but there were also many guests sitting on small benches outside the door, and they seemed to enjoy their food more while holding big bowls.
Even outside the restaurant, people like Lao Zhao waiting for their turn to dine in had already lined up to 50 people...
******
Oh right! After a month, does Old Zhao still have doubts about Hu Biao's identity and the Deyuelou shop?
Absolutely not, on the contrary, I have a very good impression.
All of this is thanks to everything I see in front of me, for example: in the open kitchen, the boss Hu Biao is working hard to shake the big pot on a high-fire stove.
The pork in the pot is golden in color, and the fresh garlic sprouts are emerald green. When mixed with the red oil, they look very appetizing.
Anyone who has been to Deyuelou for dinner knows that this small restaurant sells at least three to four hundred servings of twice-cooked pork rice every day.
If you add oil-splashed noodles and roujiamo, even though the shop is not big, the small boss Hu Biao still makes a lot of money, at least hundreds of thousands a month.
However, most people are not jealous at all about Hu Biao being able to earn this money.
It's nothing special! In today's weather, which is only a few degrees above zero, Hu Biao is busy cooking. Not only is his forehead covered with sweat, but even the back of his chef's uniform is wet with sweat.
In addition, after the store expanded in size, the quality of the oil-splashed noodles and roujiamo did not decline, thanks to the fact that Hu Biao was responsible for some key processes.
Things like purchasing ingredients and cooking braised meat are not delegated to others, so the whole day is very tiring.
So every penny he earned was earned through sweat and sweat, through his superior craftsmanship and the affordable prices he offered. If there are any Chinese people these days who truly hate the rich, it's those who are unkind and unforgiving.
For this kind of wealth earned through hard work, there is only one simple mentality: This money! Hu Biao deserves it.
Also in the kitchen, Siyan waved a kitchen knife in his hand, chopped up pieces of tempting braised meat, and put them into the Baiji steamed bun.
The big monkey skillfully cuts noodles, cooks noodles, adds various condiments, and finally adds a spoonful of soul-stirring hot oil.
With three consecutive "sizzling" sounds, the hot oil reacts beautifully with the chili powder, pepper powder and other small ingredients, and a bowl of oil-splashed noodles that is more fragrant than meat is ready.
Outside the kitchen, Tie Gong Ji and Sister Lin were constantly clearing the tables and cleaning the inside and outside of the store.
No one urged them, but they were quick and nimble and their eyes were full of activity.
Old Zhao naturally knew the situation of the above four people clearly through his connections a long time ago.
The waitress everyone called Sister Lin was okay. She had always been a miserable person, and her life had only gotten better recently.
It's reasonable that she works hard.
The three young men were different. Their living conditions not long ago, to use the words of an old man like him, were "blind drifters" and "street wanderers."
To use the words of today's young people, it means "some great god", "lying down", and "working one day and playing three days".
But now, the three of them seemed to be working seriously and attentively, not as terrible as the legend said.
As he walked towards the kitchen with a bunch of empty bowls in his arms, the stingy man smiled and nodded at Lao Zhao, a customer who looked somewhat familiar.
Old Zhao also smiled, and couldn't help thinking in his heart:
“Those so-called great people who are lying flat are actually quite good guys, but they just didn’t have the motivation or opportunity to work hard before.
I’m tired! It’s okay to lie down for a while, just remember to get up and continue on your way…”
Although there were not many staff in the store, everyone was working diligently. After waiting for a relatively short time, it was Lao Zhao's turn to order.
However, the place to order food is not at the open kitchen, but at a small cashier counter.
The question is, Deyuelou only has one owner and four service staff. The future owner is still in the island country and hasn't returned yet. Who is in charge of taking orders and collecting money now?
The answer is Sister Lin’s eldest daughter, who is eleven years old and in the fifth grade of elementary school.
She was busy working skillfully while guiding her sister to do her homework.
"Jia Jia, have you finished your homework? How are your grades since you come to the store to help every day?" After speaking, Lao Zhao did not order food directly, but asked this question with concern.
"Hello, Grandpa Zhao! I finished my homework a long time ago, and my grades improved by two places on this month's quiz. Uncle Hu said he'll take me to buy a skirt as a reward when Sister Annie comes back."
After Jia Jia answered, her face was full of sincere joy.
For her, life had been so wonderful recently that she could study more at ease and seriously. Then she skillfully operated the ordering machine and asked:
"Grandpa Hu, would you like to have the small portion of oil-splashed noodles with a roujiamo (a steamed bun) today?"
"No! The twice-cooked pork that your Uncle Hu just cooked is so tempting. Give me a twice-cooked pork rice." Old Zhao said so, and habitually handed over a piece of cash.
After taking the cash, Jia Jia opened the drawer to find the money.
I saw that there were already a lot of colorful banknotes in the drawer, at least five or six thousand.
A few minutes later, Lao Zhao sat down at the table with a few young people. He picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and put it in his mouth. Even though it was not his first time eating it, the wonderful taste still made him feel indescribably satisfied.
However, what makes him more satisfied is the down-to-earth atmosphere in this small shop, Deyuelou; and the positive attitude towards life and work of these young people, including the boss.
And how could young people with such a positive attitude towards life and work be dangerous elements...
