Rebirth Ninety's Fat Wife Should Be Self-reliant

Chapter 188 Unexpected

Li Man and Su Lijuan have just stabilized their business here, but the business in the store is not getting better and better as Zhou Huilan thought, through word of mouth from diners. On the contrary, it is getting worse day by day. A week has passed, except for the weekend.

How many tables are there? Sometimes, there are only two or three guests a day.

Even if Zhou Huilan was confident about her food, she couldn't help but start to panic.

What exactly is wrong?

It was lunch time again today, and the store was empty. Su Lijuan stopped arguing with Li Man. Several people stood at the door, eagerly looking at the passersby outside, as well as the Sichuan snack restaurant across the street that was so popular that people had to queue up.

.

"No one will come again today..."

As soon as Su Lijuan muttered something, she was pushed by Li Man next to her. She pouted unhappily and wanted to retort, but when she turned around, she saw a heavy-faced Zhou Huilan standing outside the kitchen, and she immediately shut her mouth.

Everyone who comes into the store praises his dishes, but...why don't they come back anymore?

Zhou Huilan couldn't figure it out either, and she felt bored staying in the kitchen, so she simply opened the door and walked out.

It was noon, and the snack bar across the street was crowded. There were still people squatting on the side of the road holding bowls who had not found a place outside. It was not that Zhou Huilan had never eaten Sichuan snacks, but... was it really so delicious?

She was even tempted to go over and try it for herself, but before she put her idea into action, she saw a familiar figure in the crowded crowd opposite.

Before Zhou Huilan could recover, Lu Changqing ran over from the opposite side while breathing heavily. When he saw Zhou Huilan, he shouted, "Water, give me a glass of water quickly!"

Zhou Huilan hurriedly followed her into the house, and Li Man poured water and handed it over, but Lu Changqing grabbed the kettle and drank several gulps, then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"It's so spicy to me. These people can eat anything, even such spicy food."

Lu Changqing did what Zhou Huilan wanted to do just now. He queued up and ordered Sichuan snacks across the street. However, he couldn't stand it after just a few bites. He forced himself to take a few more bites and couldn't stand it anymore.

Even if he ran away in despair.

"Hurry up and get two pieces of the stewed radish." Zhou Huilan quickly shouted towards the kitchen.

Sister Cui hurriedly went to fish the pot, while Li Man helped Lu Changqing pour water one cup at a time.

"So many people eat such spicy food?"

Obviously, everyone doesn't understand this.

But Zhou Huilan has lived a long life, and she has seen how popular Sichuan cuisine and hot pot became later.

After so many years of reform and opening up, people have finally escaped from the crisis of food and clothing, and it is an inevitable trend to start pursuing new ideas in diet.

In addition, there is a machinery factory next to it, and there are many young people who like heavy food, so it is natural.

Lu Changqing, who had swallowed a few pieces of radish, finally recovered from the spicy taste and breathed a sigh of relief, "I went to the machinery factory and asked about it. There is a cafeteria in the factory, but the food in the cafeteria is so light.

Many people go out to eat in small restaurants, so the people who go out to eat have heavy tastes."

This is almost consistent with what Zhou Huilan thought just now.

"In addition, our community is new, and most of the people who moved here are under the age of forty and are working hard on their careers. Even those who are used to eating light meals at home also want something heavy when going out to restaurants."

Lu Changqing has been investigating the nearby customers in the past few days. "And the machinery factory's courtyard opposite was also a new house four years ago. The elderly workers don't live here."

Commercial housing complexes, family homes, and workers in factories are basically the source of all the traffic on this street.

It is good that the flow of people is younger, but the audience for Chow Huilan's store is obviously not the group of young people who have just passed the food and clothing line.

Just after figuring out the reason why there was no one in the store, Zhou Huilan not only did not feel relaxed, but became even more depressed.

Li Man and the others still went back to the door to greet them, but Zhou Huilan lay down on the table in despair.

When Lu Changqing saw this, he comforted her, "In fact, it is more suitable for our herbal medicine shop to be opened outside your father's sanatorium."

Zhou Huilan sighed helplessly, "Yes, they are all veteran cadres over there, with pensions and spending power, but they have already spent money on decoration and decoration here. Do they think they are pornographic just like that?"

"That's not the case," Lu Changqing held Zhou Huilan's hand and suggested: "You used to sell lunch boxes at the entrance of the Central Hospital, and there weren't that many regular customers. Later, I went to Donghua Restaurant to eat in order to find you. Now I'm here

We can also promote ourselves. Let’s do some more activities and expand the scope of the flyers. If the effect is good, we can even go to the TV station to make an advertisement and put it on the TV. I don’t believe that Anning City is so big.

Ten diners who pursue quality without breaking the bank.”

Zhou Huilan couldn't help but laugh at Lu Changqing's confident look. Seeing that the door was still deserted, she knew that it was obviously not possible to wait like this.

"Okay then! Just print more flyers to promote yourself!"

The flyers of this era were just colorful A4 paper with simple words printed on them. Chow Huilan went to the printing shop to order a flyer sample from the boss. She had to wait a day to get it. She did not return to the store in the afternoon, preparing to go home to be with her daughter.

As soon as I walked to the door of the unit, I saw a tricycle blocking the door. Several workers were struggling to move a piano from the car. A young woman wearing glasses stood next to her, giving instructions very carefully.

The worker was afraid that the piano would be knocked.

Because the piano was so big, the workers blocked the stairs.

Zhou Huilan was not in a hurry, so she stopped aside and waited. The woman in command smiled at her and said, "We are very fast here. Do you also live in this unit?"

Zhou Huilan nodded and pointed to the yard of her house next to her, "Yes, I live here."

The woman was obviously shocked, then smiled and walked a few steps towards Zhou Huilan, "What a coincidence, I live above your house, on the second floor." The woman said, reaching up and pointing upward.

Being busy with the restaurant recently, Zhou Huilan really didn't notice that the house upstairs had been tidied up and people were moving in.

"I am a music teacher at Zidi Primary School. My surname is Yan." Teacher Yan had just finished introducing himself and saw several workers adjusting the position of the piano and entering the door. He quickly said goodbye to Zhou Huilan.

Zhou Huilan also smiled and nodded: "See you later, just come over and tell me what you need at home!"

"Then I'm not welcome!" Teacher Yan turned around with a smile and waved to Zhou Huilan.

Watching them move the piano upstairs to make way for her to go home, Zhou Huilan took out her keys and entered the house.
