Chapter 169 An instant hit
"No one left? If no one left, then we'll roll the dice."

"Quick throw! Quick throw!"

Some disdainful and unlucky onlookers urged them to leave, saying that there were too many people and they could not squeeze out. They would leave after the ceremony of squandering money was over.

'Mr. Chen' took out three large dice from the big bowl, let the audience in the front row look at them, and then threw them back into the big bowl.

The dice were big, the bowl was also big, and the rotation was not very agile, so it stopped quickly.

Two masked doormen called out the numbers respectively.

"2."

"3."

"4."

"9 point."

The crowd of onlookers became agitated and wanted to see what position they were in.

"do not move!"

"Master Chen" yelled, "Don't move, someone will call you out."

Who called the person?
Two men in government uniforms walked out of the Prodigal Son Restaurant.

The crowd: "…"

Is Chen Quanying, the prodigal son, hooking up with the government?
"Mr. Chen" "..."

Don't you know that you can get the job done if you have money? If you can't get the job done, it must be because you haven't got the money.

The yamen runners have to be supported by the yamen themselves. They are just attending an opening ceremony, and they get two hundred taels of silver, plus a meal for twelve people. Who wouldn't come?

Two yamen runners held up long bamboo poles and tapped people's heads to count. Those who were tapped dared not complain.

After the position of the person with the number ending in 9 in the first row was pointed out, the bailiff waved his hand and told the people in the first row to leave.

The onlookers were all very well behaved. No one had any objections. They left quietly without even looking back.

The last number of the 9th station in the second row was called out, and the rest of the people left.

The third row...

The fourth row...

The area in front of the restaurant was finally clear.

"Mr. Chen" bowed to thank the two yamen runners, invited them to go upstairs and take a seat, and then started to serve the dishes.

The more than 200 people who were called out entered the lobby and took their seats on the second floor in the order in which they were called.

Of course there are those who are disdainful and think it is unlucky.

But they were called by the bailiffs, and the bailiffs were all having dinner at the Prodigal Son Restaurant. Would they dare to say anything?

When the cold dishes, steamed dishes and stewed dishes were served, even if they were free, the lucky diners would turn up their noses and say, "Aren't they the same dishes? Nothing new."

The Prodigal Son Restaurant lives up to its name and will soon go bankrupt.

After taking a bite of steamed fish, his eyebrows twitched.

This fish? This fish!
The meat is tender and smooth without any fishy smell, and has a slightly sweet taste. Once you put it in your mouth, your mouth will be filled with the word "fresh".

"Mr. Chen" "..."

Learn about steamed fish soy sauce.

This! Is this steamed pork with taro? But why is taro so pink and fragrant?
"Mr. Chen" "..."

Taro chips need to be fried, did you know?

Huh? How is this meat stewed? How does it melt in your mouth?

What is this? Is this a dumpling? Why is it burnt? Why are burnt dumplings so delicious?

Is this a stir-fry? Is it too late to stir-fry in a restaurant? Is it cold?

Hiss! My mouth is hot!

Why is this meat so tender? What's in it?
"Mr. Chen" "..."

Add light soy sauce, cooking wine and starch, grab it and knead it. Have you learned enough?
There were eight dishes and one soup. The dish plates were clean and there was not a drop of soup left in the soup bowl.

The eight people exchanged glances with each other: Do you want to order a few dishes together?
Before they could finish their conversation, the waiter came to chase them away, "I'm sorry, sirs, please give up your seats. The next round of guests will be seated."

OK! Go home!
As soon as I reached the door, a masked doorman bowed and saw me off.

"Goodbye, sir! Welcome back next time!"

Next time?

"I will come tonight."

"I'll come tonight, too."

"I am coming too."

"Oh no! I'm not going back. I'm waiting in line at the door for dinner. When I get the number, I'll go home and call my family."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm also waiting in line to throw the numbers. If I don't go home, my family will definitely come to look for me, so I don't need to go back and shout." Soon, there was a long line at the door.

On the second floor, the 'dealer' room.

"Master Chen" asked the twelve yamen runners how the dishes were. Are twenty dishes enough? If not, serve a few more dishes.

"Enough is enough."

Zaotou said embarrassedly, "Can you give us some more of those burnt dumplings? They smell delicious. Let's take them back and let the elderly and children have a taste."

A souvenir?

Ready to go!
"Mr. Chen" clapped his hands, and several maids brought in forty-eight bamboo tubes.

The bamboo tube is carved with simple flowers, fish and birds, and the top of the tube is a handle carved from the entire bamboo joint.

[Feng Yudong: Fengjia brand disposable bamboo lunch box, you deserve it. ]

"Two buckets of fried dumplings and two buckets of braised pork. Thank you for your hard work today."

Even the yamen runners who were used to being domineering felt embarrassed. They didn't do anything, but not only did they have to eat and take away things, but each of them still had to pay more than ten taels of silver.

"Mr. Chen" politely escorted the entire squad of yamen runners out of the door, and saw a long queue outside.

Xiaobai and Xiaoying hurriedly explained to the master why they were queuing.

"Mr. Chen" "..."

Just wait in line! It's a good opportunity to advertise for her. She won't post any numbers or make reservations!

The ancients had the most leisure and their pace of life was too slow. They would be unhappy if you saved time for them.

……

What does it mean to become famous overnight?

Look at the Prodigal Son Restaurant!

What does it mean to be crowded with people?

Look at the door of the Prodigal Son Restaurant!

"Has it been thrown again?"

A sturdy man was a little annoyed. "No, I want to throw the dice a third time. Which one of you is the loser? Come out and let me touch it. If I throw an empty table number, I will definitely reward you."

A small defeat "..."

If I don't win, you will definitely hit me, right? Yesterday, I won a small amount and you slapped me.

You'd better chop off your stinky hands. There are so many empty tables and you can't even throw to them!
Xiaoying still felt a dull pain in his chest, and in the humanitarian spirit of sharing weal and woe, he pushed Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was caught off guard and was pushed into the strong man's arms.

The strong man touched Xiao Bai all over, even the mask on his face, then pushed him away, grabbed three large dice and threw them hard.
“Six, six, six, I’m going to the second floor!”

A dice was thrown out of the bowl, with a six facing up.

The other dice in the bowl also landed on six.

"Six! Six! Six!"

The sturdy man shouted at the dice that were still spinning in the bowl.

"Six! Six! Six!"

The guests standing in line behind the burly man couldn't help but shout as well.

"six!"

"Six indeed!"

"Hahaha! My good luck is here, and my bad luck has been washed away by Xiaobai."

The strong man was very excited and threw a dime to Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, after I have tasted the prodigal dishes in this prodigal restaurant, you will compensate me by going to touch it twice, and I will pay you for it."

"No! No!"

Xiaobai waved his hands repeatedly, "Xiaobai still has to go to work."

The sturdy man waved his big hand and said, "How much is your daily wage? If I win, I will increase your wages tenfold."

A small defeat "..."

What if you lose?
If you hit me with that big palm like a palm fan, Xiaobai will lose half his life.

"Sir, think about it, if Xiaobai is not the Xiaobai of Yingfu, can it wash away your bad luck?"

"Makes sense!"

The strong man walked into the restaurant and shouted to the waiter, "Take this guest to room number six on the second floor."

"Come on! Sir, please go upstairs!"

Xiaojia came over swiftly to greet the guests.
