Chapter 236: You check the silver, I count the copper coins
"Alas." The guest sighed, and just as he was about to close the book, he heard a knock at the door.
The waiter said outside the door: "Sir, there are several guests here who read the same books as you. Can you arrange for them to stay in your box?"
As soon as I dozed off, I gave him a pillow, and the guest immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, let them come in quickly."
The waiter ushered several guests in. The guests greeted each other, ordered meals, and took their seats.
This table was full of strangers, and apart from reading the same book, they all had nothing in common, so the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.
It was the original guest who broke the silence. He couldn't wait to say: "Hey, have you seen Chapter 36?"
"I've seen it before. It was so exciting when Knight Zhang rescued people." Another guest immediately agreed.
"Oh, please stop talking. I have only read the eleventh chapter. We will discuss it after I finish reading it." Another guest immediately opened the book and read it.
"Don't worry about him. Let's read this section and let's discuss it."
A few people who saw the same chapter got together to discuss it, and those who didn't saw it quickly read the book.
When the waiter brought the evening meal, all the strangers in the room started chatting and laughing about the plot.
After putting down the food, the waiter quietly exited the room. The boss was really right, as all the guests from the book club liked to push him.
The private rooms on the second floor were quickly filled with guests of all kinds, and each guest was discussing a book, just like a small reading discussion meeting.
This group of guests from the book club ate and read, ate quickly, and shared their evening meals while discussing the plot, which unlocked many new dishes.
"Oh, this steak is delicious. Let's cut it into pieces for everyone to eat."
"The red bean roll I'm eating is delicious, but it's too small and can only be divided into two portions."
"Then I'll order more. Let me try the egg steamed buns I ordered first. They are small but plentiful. Take them as you like."
"The milk balls are delicious, everyone should have a bite."
They ate, drank, and ordered food from time to time. The business in the private room on the second floor was not delayed by reading, but became even more popular.
The waiters on the second floor were running up and down. Seeing this, Gu Xiaoyou temporarily arranged two people to pass the food. One was passing the leaflets on the terrace in the middle of the stairs, and the other was delivering the food to the back kitchen and then back.
This saves some effort.
Not only was the second floor bustling, but a group of admiring guests came to the lobby on the first floor. With such a group of guests coming in, the waiters who had rested for nearly two and a half hours were not at all frightened, and each one was full of energy to receive the guests.
The breakfast shop did not lose customers because of the break, but instead gained many more customers who came here because of it.
Mrs. Zhou came out of the kitchen and took a look. Seeing the crowd of guests, the worries of the day suddenly disappeared.
She shouldn't worry so blindly, Gu Xiaoyou's decision was not wrong.
Looking at the bustling shop, Mrs. Zhou happily turned around and returned to the kitchen.
Gu Xiaoyou worked with the waiters and maids for an hour and a half.
Soon it was time for the breakfast shop to close.
The guests dining in the restaurant were notified three-quarters of an hour in advance. The guests were a little unsatisfied and reluctant to leave so early.
But the store was about to close, so they couldn't force themselves to stay. With a bit of regret, they took the time to order some take-out food.
The customers in the store had almost left. Gu Xiaoyou took the number plate he had prepared and said to the customers who were still queuing at the door: "I'm sorry, everyone, our store is closing."
Immediately afterwards, she came up with the same rhetoric as in the morning and handed out number tags to the guests.
The outspoken customer suddenly felt dissatisfied: "What's the use of having a broken sign after waiting in line for half an hour?"
"I'm really sorry, the business hours have been set, there are no rules." Gu Xiaoyou explained with a smile.
Before the customer could get angry, Gu Xiaoyou took out a paper bag from the waiter's hand and said apologetically: "No apology, please try our special chicken tenders. I hope you can calm down."
The chicken fillet in the paper bag was still steaming, and the aroma of chicken floated in the air. The customer took the hot chicken fillet, and the fire in his heart dissipated a little, and then inserted a golden piece with the bamboo skewer in the paper bag.
Bring the chicken tenders to your mouth.
When you bite into it, your teeth should be on the crispy chicken skin, and the tip of your tongue will touch the tender and juicy muscles inside. The deep-frying heat is controlled for a few seconds, and the chicken is fresh and tender, just like eating a bite of soft tofu.
The seasoning added to the dough is spicy and filling, and the taste is rich in layers. The customer couldn't stop after taking one bite, and finished the entire package of chicken fillets in three to five times.
The guest was in a good mood and said with a smile: "It tastes very good. I'll give you the number plate and come back tomorrow."
Gu Xiaoyou immediately handed over the number plate, and the customer took it and left. As he walked, he said: "The simple snacks are so delicious, the food in the store must be good."
Seeing this, other guests went to Gu Xiaoyou to get chicken tenders and get their number tags.
The guests who had eaten the chicken tenders felt a little better. Although there was a queue outside the door, they didn't suffer any trouble sitting at the door. There were waiters who greeted them for tea and brought snacks from time to time. Before leaving,
I also added a pack of chicken tenders, which made me feel a little full even if I didn't have a main meal.
Gu Xiaoyou sent the last customer away with a smile on his face, rubbed his face that was stiff from laughter, and said to the waiter: "Close the door."
"Yes, boss." The waiter responded and quickly closed the door.
Entering the shop, the guys tidy up the shop.
The new store opened today, and Gu Xiaoyou came to check the money and asked Zhou to go to the counter to settle the account books for the day.
The cashier gave up his position with a wink, explained all the accounts clearly, and left the counter.
Broken silver and silver ingots have to be measured with small scales. Gu Xiaoyou is still learning. The work of twisting and weighing silver has always been left to Zhou and the accounting office.
"We are still the same as before, you check the silver and I count the copper coins." Gu Xiaoyou arranged and put the money box between the two of them.
While Mrs. Zhou took the silver from the money box and weighed it, she said earnestly: "You have to learn quickly. It's been a long time and you still don't know how to count silver."
"I know, I'll study tomorrow." Gu Xiaoyou said perfunctorily.
Afraid that Mrs. Zhou would nag her again, she quickly said: "Sister Zhou, please stop talking to me. The number of copper coins will be messed up soon."
Zhou shook her head helplessly and continued to weigh the broken silver. Gu Xiaoyou quickly buried her head and counted the copper coins seriously.
Now Gu Xiaoyou has gained experience and secrets in counting copper coins. She threaded one end of the thin string of money through a needle and into the round hole of a copper coin, then tied a knot at the back of the rope to prevent the coins from falling, and then
