Chapter 39 It's Too Expensive

Gu Li's star chef certification in his previous life was a real deal.

The taste of the whole table dishes is quite satisfactory, and there is almost nothing wrong with it, but there are no major characteristics.It's not to the point where it's impossible to come again.

Fang Xiaokang ate in silence for a while, but Zhuang Qing and San Xiaozhi ate happily.It's been a long time since I had such a big meal, so I definitely don't have so many requests.

Gu Li put down his chopsticks early, causing San Mao to step up and ask, "Mother, why don't you eat more?"

"Eat, mother, drink some tea to get rid of boredom."

This jasmine tea is fragrant and delicious, and the taste is relatively high-quality.But the water for making tea seems to be used improperly.

In the previous life, Gu Li's drinking capacity was really average because he often performed tasks.So she just poured a sip of the house wine into the glass and tasted it.

The so-called signature wine is actually the burning knife, right?The taste is spicy and choking. If you are not a person who is extremely addicted to alcohol, you may not be able to drink much.

Jiuguozi is just a plate of glutinous rice cakes and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which is a bit monotonous.The taste is passable.

"Bill, please!"

After confirming that everyone was full, Gu Li planned to leave.Xu Shi knew that she was dissatisfied with the shop waiter, and after hearing the voice, the shopkeeper approached him personally.The waiter behind him stretched his neck and waited for the show to start.

Just now he opened a plate in the back kitchen to bet, the ratio is [-] to [-], and half of the people chose not to settle the bill.

"I also want to pack a fish head soup, tamales, and two bowls of rice. How much do you think the total is?"

"The six dishes cost four taels and three dollars in total, and the packaged ones cost one tael and eight dollars, plus a tael for packing. Our plates are all custom-made, and you can't buy them elsewhere. The total is six taels and two dollars."

Gu Li didn't say a word, and paid the money directly.Seeing that she was so straightforward, the shopkeeper smiled so dazedly, and forced each of the three little ones a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Gu Li picked up the packed cloth bag, stood up and prepared to leave.Passing by the counter, looking at the shop waiter who was a little limp all over, the corner of his mouth curled up,
"Hurry up and raise money! You have lost more than half a month's salary this time."

While waiting for the dishes, she walked around, and by chance, she overheard the nonsense of the waiter in the back kitchen.Originally, he was waiting to see his own jokes, but in turn, she was also waiting to see his jokes.

Do not commit suicide!

The shopkeeper with a puzzled look at the back stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Little Er dared to let him know, and hastily played sloppy eyes: "It's okay, I welcome her to come again next time."

Welcome to your sister, the broom star had better never meet again.

"That's right! I can't wait to come every day for a person like this who pays bills neatly."

Shopkeeper Le's eyes narrowed into a line, and the waiter heard his temples twitch.

"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and clear the table."

The shopkeeper turned his head and shouted angrily, and the waiter ran over quickly with a sullen face.

There is no way, how dare he say no when he is begging for a living under the hands of others?Right now, even if two months' monthly salary is in vain, this job cannot be lost.

It wasn't until he walked a long way that Da Mao said what he was holding back in his stomach: "It's really too expensive!"

As soon as this remark came out, it really won the approval of the other two big and two young ones.

For six taels of silver, I have to buy a few pigs.

Fang Xiaokang finally opened his mouth: "The taste is not bad, but it is still far from what I imagined in my mind. I think there is a high probability that it is an apprentice's handwriting. The price is too high. I am afraid that the boss is only focused on making money. In fact, the price is too high. The cost is less than one tael of silver. And the presentation of the dishes is not good, and the vegetable juice on the edges of the dishes is not wiped."

"Do you think your craft can reach their level?"

Fang Xiaokang nodded: "If I cook these same dishes, I won't taste worse than them."

"However, it's too uninspiring to make exactly the same ones. To be a restaurant is to have your own signature dishes. If they are all well-balanced and not the only one, who will come to your place to eat?"

Gu Li feels that this is the biggest harvest today.There are many small problems in the details of this Kelai restaurant, but the most deadly thing is that there is no signature main dish.How long can a non-distinctive restaurant last, even if there are people behind it?

Fang Xiaokang agreed with her very much, but his face was full of guilt: "Let's not talk about them, even I don't know what signature dishes I have. I was born in Yeluzi, and there are not many dishes that I can touch , is really not a good idea.”

"You don't have it, I have it!""

Gu Li patted him on the shoulder, "It's up to me!"

Bringing the food to Mrs. Shao and Fang Bixi, Gu Li talked with them for a while and then took the three little ones to go home.

Mrs. Shao was still worried about her brother Fang Bi and insisted on staying to take care of her.Gu Li looked at the zero-hour bed built with a few low stools in Fang Bi's room, feeling a little unbearable, but still chose to respect her opinion.

Think of a way! The small attic of Fang Bi's house is really cramped, but the two siblings just met each other not long ago, and they don't want to be separated at all.It is better to let the two live together.

On the way home, Gu Li took San Xiaozhi to the bookstore.

She bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and she wanted to draw the layout of Babaozhai and Fuzhi Restaurant so that she could communicate with the craftsmen.Furthermore, she had to write some recipes for Fang Xiaokang to practice.

The bookstore is at the southernmost part of the town, and 200 meters away is the only private school in the town - Shanxuetang.

When passing by Shan Xuetang after shopping, Gu Li saw Da Mao craned his neck to look inside.The sound of reading came from the yard, and Ermao and Sanmao couldn't help but read along.

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is kind and similar..."

It's just the most basic Three Character Classic, but it's also recited with gusto.

Gu Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration, maybe he could send them to school in advance.

Ordinary people's children only go to private schools when they are seven or eight years old. After all, Shuxiu is not a small sum of money, and it needs to be accumulated for several years.But rich families don't care about money, and some of them send it at the age of four or five.

Besides, the poor children in the countryside have long been in charge of the family, and they can basically take care of themselves at this age.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt it was feasible, Gu Li then asked seriously: "Big Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, can mother send you to study?"

Da Mao's eyes widened instantly.It seemed that I heard my mother mention it before, and I thought she was talking for fun, but I never thought that I really had such an idea.

He also saw the hard work of mother these days.Go to bed later than them and wake up earlier than them.Seems to be on the go.

I heard my grandma say yes before, if my father and uncle had gone to study at that time, maybe they would not have been arrested and killed as soldiers.So he wanted to study and change his destiny since he was a child.

But is it really okay to give mother such a big burden?In other people's family, one child is frugal to study, but how much will it cost for three children in their family?

Ermao was a little unhappy, pouted and said, "Mom, reading can't be eaten as a meal. I'd better stay at home and cook for you."

Gu Li rolled his eyes, this kid is a typical foodie who does not seek to make progress,

"If you don't read, you don't know how to write. If you don't know how to write, you can't record the good things you eat. If you can't record them, isn't it equivalent to eating for nothing? Even if you eat all kinds of delicacies, what's the point?"

After some tongue-twisters, Ermao was only stunned, as if it was really serious!He clenched his fists, with a face full of self-sacrifice: "I'll go!"

Sanmao held Gu Li's arm: "I'll do everything according to my mother."

Now only Da Mao was left, Gu Li turned to look at him.

Da Mao took a deep breath and tentatively said, "Why don't you send Ermao and Sanmao first, and I will..."

"Go! That's the decision."

Gu Li directly interrupted his words and made a final decision.

Da Mao couldn't help but smile bitterly, this mother is also true.I decided to ask them a long time ago, isn't it superfluous?

But why did he like such a domineering mother more and more?

 Slimming Jun is just an ordinary office worker, working overtime every day to write some stories.I need everyone’s support, call out with a thick skin, ask for recommendations, ask for votes, thank you very much
