Uncle Dong shook his head and replied with a stern face:

"It's gone."

It's gone? The business here is so bad, how could it be sold out? It's not just fooling myself.

Or maybe there is no business at all, and the ingredients are only on the table next to it, and they will disappear after being eaten by their own people?

Xiao Ji was skeptical, but he kept in mind Zhou Qinchuan's explanation and asked again:

"Is there any soup cake?"

Soup cakes are noodles. Each person who has soup soup serves a bowl, which is more enjoyable than eating pancakes in the wild.

"Soup cake? There is no soup cake either."

Uncle Dong continued to shake his head.

"Where are steamed cakes? There will always be steamed cakes?"

Xiao Ji continued to ask, if there is no steamed cake, then your inn will just close the door.

Uncle Dong continued to shake his head, "There is still no steamed cake."

"No?"

"No!"

Zhou Qinchuan, who had been silent and let Xiao Ji speak, felt a little cold when he heard this, and wanted to say that all these could be found.

"Not even, what else can you do when you open this inn? It's better to close it."

Xiao Ji mumbled and said directly about the thoughts in his heart, even the thoughts of Zhou Qinchuan and Su Yourong.

Uncle Dong's forehead was full of black lines. Why is this little brat so mean, and he said everything the young master was most unhappy to hear.

Zhao Zitong, who was standing beside him, was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a haha:

"You guys came here unfortunately. The chef is not here. Please take more responsibility."

He was determined to give up the wine and food on his table, but they ate most of it, and it was leftovers, so how could he have the nerve to give it to the guests?

"The shopkeeper and the owner, what food does the inn have?"

Zhou Qinchuan finally asked.

Xiao Ji started asking about what he had eaten from chicken, duck, fish and meat. He felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The four dishes together should meet the standards they set before. The price was not much or less, and it was just as painful as it was.

If not, soup cakes are fine, but I don’t know the price, so I need to stay for another night.

Steamed cakes? Steamed cakes may not work. No matter how much you eat, it is not worth a few cents. Even if you stay for one night, it is difficult to achieve their goal. Could it be that you have to stay for a few more nights?

When I heard that I didn’t even have steamed cakes, Zhou Qinchuan became anxious and had nothing. How could I eat this for nothing?

Although Xiao Ji's last complaint expressed his thoughts, it was not very pleasant to the store owner, so he couldn't help but stop talking.

Uncle Dong looked at his son Zhao Zitong and replied helplessly:

"There are only pancakes and porridge, should I eat them?"

Both the master and the servant realized at this time that if there was no chef, the inn's dietary business would be really unsustainable.

If you don’t want to give up, you can only provide the simplest foods, pancakes and porridge, which is convenient to make. But in this case, can the inn be called an inn? What’s the difference between them and those carriage shops?

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty went out and had a relationship with the people in the government. If they could find a way to get a meeting, it would be best if they could not only stay in the inn for free, but also get some silver and flower breaks from the inn.

If there is no such relationship, the remaining options are inns and chema shops.

The former is a bit particular about food and accommodation, and naturally it is expensive.

The latter is cheap. This type of food and accommodation that Zhou Qinchuan had inquired about when he was in Guanyang Town, and only provided the most basic food and accommodation.

For example, in places like Shandong, the food in the carriage shop is basically the unchanging pancakes and porridge that have not changed for thousands of years, and the living area is mainly the Datongpu.

If Zhao Zitong's inn is like this in the future, only pancakes and porridge are provided, and there is no decent wine and food to support the store, it will be no different from the Chema Shop.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ji ridiculed them for nothing and that the inn would not be opened. Although the master and servant were unhappy, they could not talk back.

It’s not that Chemadian is not profitable. According to later generations, the two business methods and customer groups they target are different.

The inn is aimed at passers-by who have some spare money and takes the path of winning by quality.

Chema shops are mainly popular, relying on quantity. The price of Datong shops is not high, so they must live in as many people as possible.

The same is true for food. Although Chema Shop only provides pancakes and porridge, it is better to have enough amounts.

In this way, the carriage shop cannot be short of friends.

Judging from Zhao Zitong and his master and servant, even if they settle for the second best, they would not be able to convert the inn to a carriage shop, with the size of just two of them.

What's more, Zhao Zitong is a scammer and can't count on what he can do.

Not to mention the two masters and servants who were in trouble for the inn, Zhou Qinchuan heard that there were only pancakes and porridge, so he exchanged glances with Su Yourong. The two nodded slightly and finally decided to eat them no matter so much.

The dry food in the bags of the three of them happened to be eaten, so they had to solve the meal before talking about it.

"The pancakes and porridge are also made."

Su Yourong came out to smooth things over, "Then I'll trouble the old shopkeeper."

"Wait."

Uncle Dong responded, took a tray from the counter and headed towards the kitchen.

After the things were delivered, Zhou Qinchuan frowned after taking a bite.

The pancake is hard and thick, and it is really uncomfortable, and it is far from comparable to what they stewed in a small iron pot.

Looking at Su Yourong again, I was not very satisfied.

Only Xiao Ji is not very picky, but he eats delicious food.

The two of them had no choice but to chew on them.

But the speed was much slower. After Xiao Ji finished eating a cake and drank a bowl of porridge, the pancakes in his hands were only half gone.

When Xiao Ji saw that his brother and sister didn't care about him, he didn't bother them to eat even though he was bored.

Put your hands on the table and look around with your chin.

Although the beggar's nest has not received any education, it is possible to "don't speak" if you eat.

It’s not possible to do it. In Guanyang, there are still some rules. If you don’t compete for food, you may be robbed if you eat a little slower. Xiao Ji has suffered such a hardship.

If you point yourself to others, he will not disturb you even if others have not finished eating.

Zhou Qinchuan and Su Yourong didn't care about him and continued to eat cakes and drink porridge slowly.

The two of them were still not as adaptable as Xiao Ji. The roughness and hardness of the cake were beyond their imagination. If they didn't chew it fine, they would be difficult to swallow it.

If you are not careful, your mouth will be broken by pancakes.

The master and servant Zhao Zitong were still sitting next to the banquet. With outsiders, it was inconvenient to speak, so he could only continue to drink.

"Several guests, you all ate..."

Uncle Dong finally waited until the three of them had eaten and drunk. He couldn't help but get up quickly and planned to collect the money for the meal so that the door could be closed and rested.

He didn't think these three people would stay in the hotel. Except for the child who was eating happily, the man and a woman were frowning and swallowing with difficulty when they were eating pancakes, Uncle Dong felt uncomfortable when he looked at him.

I guess he is a pampered person and should not look down on small shops like them.

"Don't worry about the settlement, old shopkeeper."

Zhou Qinchuan quickly interrupted the other party and joked that how much is this pancake porridge worth? Even if they are not aware of it, the store probably won't do anything to them.

If you want to successfully eat vain with a strong face, you must spend more money.

"My brother and sister won't leave tonight, so I will stay here. Please help the old shopkeeper open two rooms. When we leave, the meals and room fees will be settled together. How about it?"
