Chapter 113 He Family Meal
The shop owners around all smiled and said, "Congratulations, your business is booming and you are making a lot of money."
Because the He family did business on the street, they also invisibly boosted the business of surrounding merchants. These shop owners were eager for them to open earlier. At this moment, they all had kind faces and congratulated them with a smile.
The He family responded one by one, and had already thought of sending some things to their next door later, which was considered as a complete courtesy.
When Boss He carried Xia Yining on his back, he showed off to his younger brother with a smug look on his face, and said in a soft voice, "Little sister, quickly pull down the red cloth and see if you like the name of the store."
Everyone saw that the little girl had a chubby face and round body. It was obvious that she was well-fed and very much loved at home, otherwise why would a little girl be asked to do such a thing as receiving the plaque?
Some went there because they couldn't stand it, but more old customers were used to it and thought it was strange that it wasn't the little girl of the He family. No matter what others thought, they all kindly cheered, "Hurry up, Tangyuan Tuanzi, reach out and pull it."
Xia Yining: “???”
He glanced at them and found that they were all smiling at him. After a moment of silence, he raised his head, stretched out his little fleshy hands with a smile, and gently pulled to reveal the plaque.
It reads: "Ho's Kitchen."
The old customers who had been waiting at the door early couldn't help but applaud when they saw this scene. It can be said that they ate here when the He family set up the stall. Seeing that they were able to rent a shop in such a short time, they also had a share of credit in it.
Everyone in the He family wore a hat, hiding their hair meticulously inside. They greeted with a smile, "Sir, please come in and try the mung bean soup we made. We're open today and everyone will get a bowl."
"Okay, okay, I knew you were generous. It's so hot, how comfortable it would be to drink a bowl of mung bean water."
Seeing their happiness, He Xinglang handed over the menu with a smile and explained, "There are pictures on it. Please take a look at what kind of food you like. Our shop not only serves breakfast, but also lunch and dinner."
"If you can't eat it in the morning, come back when you have time. I guarantee you will be reluctant to leave after trying the new dishes."
Old customers all know that the He family’s children are all studying in school. Now that they see him ordering dishes in person, they instantly feel that the level of the small shop has been raised a lot.
He smiled and joked: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the future top scholar to be a servant? Or are we the lower class lucky to enjoy such treatment."
Hearing the teasing in the words, He Xinglang smiled gently, his voice as pleasant as spring water, and said slowly: "I would like to take advantage of this elder's good wishes. If I can win the first place, I will treat you to a good meal and wine."
The people sitting in the hall did not expect him to take up the conversation so openly. They could not help but look at him and said, "As expected of a scholar, you are really good. You will definitely get what you want in the future."
"Everyone is waiting for good news from you, young master. When you graduate from high school, everyone will give you a shop to celebrate."
He Xinglang bowed to the people around him and said in a gentlemanly manner, "That kid will definitely work hard."
He Liang and He Min, who were also helping to order food, watched this scene and were deeply impressed by their second uncle's demeanor, which had influenced them a lot in their growth.
Within half an hour of opening, all the seats in the hall were occupied. Some people even squeezed in with acquaintances when they saw there were no seats left. Fortunately, He Di had thought about it a lot and made a dozen extra benches.
Now it is put to use. In the backyard kitchen, one pot of food after another is steamed. Boss He never stops rolling handmade noodles. The table in front has been turned over several times. Everyone is busy and flustered, and they don't even have time to drink a sip of water.
When Li Zheng and his fellow villagers came over, they were shocked by what they saw. He Xinglang saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, Li Zheng uncle, Li Zheng aunt, please come in."
He said a little embarrassedly: "There are too many people here now, so I'll ask you elders to go to the backyard. There are tables there and it's quieter."
When they passed by the two brothers, they would smile and call them, then trot over to order the food and have it delivered to the backyard.
He Xinglang moved the stools and shouted, "Mom and Dad, someone is coming home, bring some delicious food."
The Hedi couple hurriedly said, "Hurry up and serve the waiter. We are family, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Yes, yes, go quickly. We are so familiar with each other. If you are polite to the aunts, you will be treated as an outsider." Zhang smiled and patted his shoulder.
Mrs. He came out of the kitchen. After being busy all morning, she finally had time to hug her little girl. She smiled and said, "Come on, make the same as at home. You're welcome."
He put up the shop sign. A few people looked at the white flour and couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Zheng Lizheng quickly pushed it back and said, "This food is very expensive. You should keep it and sell it well. You are... really generous."
"It's not easy to earn money to raise children. I had breakfast when I left the village, so I'm not hungry at all now."
Xia Yi had no intention of listening to this cute old man's refusal. As soon as he landed on the ground, he stuffed the food into their arms and said in a baby voice, "Eat. Ning'er is treating us today. You must eat well."
"If you don't eat, Ning'er will be unhappy and will make a scene."
"Besides... you have already touched it, so you can't take it to the front to sell. Don't waste food."
The person busy in the kitchen also opened the window and said with a smile: "Ning'er is right, we are all family, so don't be polite and don't skimp on food."
Before Mrs. He could even sit down, many menus were handed out in the hall. She quickly stood up and said to them, "Eat slowly. I'm a bit busy today, so don't complain."
Looking at her hurried back, Zheng Lizheng looked at the food in his hand and felt a little embarrassed, "This..."
He Di understood what he meant and ate a bun first, saying, "Eat quickly, and help them after you finish eating, otherwise you will be exhausted."
Hearing this, several people were not polite and finished eating as quickly as possible. After touching their mouths, they did not forget to praise: "It's what you deserve to be able to make money. This tastes really good, and they are willing to put meat in it. It's really fragrant."
"The dough is kneaded well. How can it be so tender? It takes some skill to do it." The wife of the head of the village could not stop praising her. She stood up quickly and went to the hall to help.
She knew that the kitchen was full of recipes that could be passed down, so in order to avoid suspicion she walked forward to see if she could be of any help.
After seeing the menu clearly, several people who were illiterate stood at the door awkwardly. He Xinglang saw them and said with a smile: "I would like to trouble the elders to help take the used dishes to the well and wipe the table."
After these words were spoken, several people's eyes lit up and they felt that they were not useless.
