Today was Saturday, so many people didn't have to work. The guests in the restaurant arrived later than usual.
While the couple were admiring Yang Fan's secret seasoning and looking forward to a beautiful tomorrow, the first guest came to them. "Old Zhong, bring me a bowl of beef broth, more peppers, a plate of vinegar pickled peppers, and half a kilogram of pancakes.
"Old Zhang is here. Please wait for a moment, the thing is about to arrive!"
First uncle deftly filled an empty bowl with shallots, cilantro, garlic seedlings, a little salt and sugar, and a spoonful of chilli sauce with red oil. Of course, there was a thin slice of cooked beef, which he poured into the boiling broth.
"En!" Old Zhang sniffled, "Old Zhong, it looks like the beef broth today is a bit special. It smells really good."
"Haha, Old Zhang, try it. I've added a secret seasoning I bought from Jiang-Nan city. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with it!"
Yang Fan slapped his forehead, "Damn, First Uncle is a very honest person. Since he told me the truth, can't you say that he brewed the secret seasoning himself? But that's good too, this way we don't cause too much trouble, in case anyone has the intention to make a secret seasoning formula. "
"Oh? What secret seasoning? It can't be chemical essence, right? " Elder Zhang was probably very familiar with Zhong Run, so he was not courteous at all.
"How is that possible? Old Zhang, you've known me for so many years. When have I ever had such a bunch of playthings?" Zhong Renjiang did not get angry. They were all old customers, so it was normal for them to be joking around. It was harmless.
"Old Zhang, don't just go around drinking. Give us some advice?" Zhong Runqiang asked nervously when he saw Old Zhang unable to stop once he started drinking. He did not say anything for a long time.
Old Zhang didn't have time to say anything. He had seen the beef broth in the old Zhong's store today, so what was wrong with it? Why was it so delicious?
Just as Old Zhang was sweating profusely from drinking, two more guests came in from outside. "Old Zhong, two bowls of millet congee, a pound of golden silk cake, and a plate of marmalade melon."
"Alright, let's do it now!" Oh right, the beef broth today is pretty good. You two don't want to try it? " Zhong Renjiang was acquainted with these two customers and was also a regular customer, so he took the initiative to promote them.
"I don't want the beef broth today. I drank too much last night, so I'm rather bored early in the morning. I just need to eat something light." The two guests raised their heads and saw Old Zhang, who was furiously drinking beef soup. "Eh, isn't this Old Zhang? What are you drinking? It's so fragrant that you can't even talk?"
As he spoke, the two customers sniffed the soup with all their might, "Beef broth, why is the beef broth today so fragrant? Old Zhong, forget it, let's not use millet porridge anymore. We also want beef broth!"
"Alright, two bowls of secret beef soup. I'll be there shortly!" Zhong Renjiang was in a good mood as he saw the trend of beef soup with secret seasoning.
Afterwards, a few other customers came one after another. There were those who directly ordered beef broth, those who wanted millet porridge, and those who wanted porridge; however, after seeing a few guys who disregarded their image to drink beef broth, they changed their minds and also ordered the secret brewing beef broth.
At this time, the first person to enter the restaurant, Old Zhang, had already finished drinking. While wiping his mouth, he shouted, "Old Zhong, bring me another bowl of beef soup to take with you for my wife to have a taste."
A customer immediately shouted, "Old Zhang, you're such a good husband. Your wife has really been blessed to be able to marry you!"
In the time it took to have a meal, the Zhong Family's secret recipe, the beef soup, was on fire. In a place the size of a palm in Qing Mountain Village, several customers who had been stunned by the beef soup promoted it, and soon, a lot of people came to drink beef soup.
There were even a few guests who came over directly from other restaurants. The phone rang halfway through their meal, and when they picked up the call they heard that there was beef soup they had never tasted before.
The restaurant was crowded with customers, but Zhong Rusheng and his wife were overjoyed. They couldn't remember how long it had been since the business had been so lively.
Well, from the day this restaurant opened, it had never been so lively!
Seeing the Eldest Uncle and his wife happily smiling, Yang Fan was also very happy. Life was just about that. Love and kinship coupled with friendship could make a loved one happy, as well as a lover happy, and a friend happy. He was also satisfied.
The business here was so good that it exceeded the expectations of Zhong Renjiang and his wife. Even Yang Fan didn't expect the beef broth with the secret seasoning would be so popular. Just the beef broth alone sold for three big pots.
After washing his face with clean water, Yang Fan greeted his first uncle and his wife, saying that he was going to visit the old headmaster's house.
Looking at the cart leaving in the dust, Yang Xiu-li said with emotion, "Old Zhong, we didn't love little Fan for nothing before. He was good and sensible, so it seems we'll have to rely on him in the future."
The old principal lived in Qing Mountain Village High School. The school was located outside the town, about one Li away from the village. Yang Fan arrived very quickly by car.
As class was not scheduled for Saturday, Yang Fan drove the car directly to the old headmaster's house. He carried a large watermelon out of the car, preparing to let the old headmaster's family have a taste.
It was not that Yang Fan was stingy; he only carried a watermelon and came to visit. Each watermelon was at least a hundred jin. If not for the fact that his strength had greatly increased after drinking the Space Spring Water, it would have been difficult for him to carry just one watermelon.
Yang Fan didn't want others to see him as a monster, and he also didn't want the authorities to capture him and use him as a mouse chip for research.
The one who opened the door for Yang Fan was the son of the old headmaster, the police chief of Qingshan Town, Li Mingxuan.
Seeing Yang Fan holding a giant watermelon, Li Mingxuan immediately laughed out loud, "Good boy, you still know how to come? It's been so long since I last visited, and here I thought you had forgotten about us! "
Yang Fan was sweating profusely. "Brother Li, why do your words sound so awkward? My tone sounds like a grudging wife. "Little Xuan Xuan, aren't I here already? What else do you have to say for yourself?"
"Good kid, your skin is itchy isn't it? How dare you talk back to your Brother Li?" "Hurry up and get in here. This old man has been talking about you all day long, and I'm almost having calluses in my ears from listening. I really suspect that one of us is his own!"
Li Mingxuan was not even thirty years old this year, and his name sounded very elegant, but in reality, he was a huge man of 1.9 meters. Li Mingxuan was not even 30 years old this year, and his name sounded very elegant, but in reality, he was a big man of 1.9 meters.
According to the local rules, if a guest came to visit with a gift, the host family had to personally take it, or else it would be very disrespectful. Although Yang Fan had a good relationship with the old headmaster's family, the rules were the rules, and even Li Mingxuan, the police chief, was no exception.
Therefore, Li Mingxuan reached out to grab the large watermelon in Yang Fan's arms. Before Yang Fan could remind him that the watermelon was very heavy, Li Mingxuan had already caught it.
In the end, Li Mingxuan, who had made the wrong decision, slipped and fell down!
