It was almost noon and guests started to come in. The restaurant here was newly opened and the county government took special care of it. It spread all over the county these days, and many people with good things came to see the fun.

He Dalang, who was selling pens, and two companions came in first to tell Han Lian about happiness. He walked to the counter and saw several large jars in front of the stage. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Brother, why do you still sell the wine from the 'Yaojiazheng Store' in the store now?"

Han Lian smiled all over his face: "It's different from the past. When the business is big, you can't just sell strong liquor. I sell the Yao family's wine here, and their restaurants also sell our liquor. Only when everyone helps, business will be easier."

The few people nodded together and found the seat close to the counter to sit.

He Dalang said: "We are people who are good at drinking, and we can't drink wine without strength. The shopkeeper should give us a stick of strong wine."

Han Lian agreed behind the counter and ordered the servant to fight and send it to several people.

Du Zhongxiao walked to the table and saluted several people: "What kind of food should I have to drink today?"

He Dalang said: "Your braised sheep hooves are good. If it is sometimes, take ten or eight. If there is meat, cut another two pounds of mutton."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Of course there are sheep's hooves and mutton. However, now we are a restaurant, which is no longer much more dishes than in the fore-foot shop. A few guests, why don't you come with some other dishes? It's always good to taste it."

He Dalang laughed and said, "Why are there any good dishes? Come on, let's try them. Then we will count the money once they are paid."

Du Zhongxiao said repeatedly and said, "The weather is colder now. We have a new kind of mutton that we eat, so it is best to eat on the stove. Of course, there are also fresh vegetables. After eating them, they can clear the heat and remove the fire."

The drinker on the side laughed: "This season, it's cold and cold, where do you get fresh vegetables?"

Du Zhongxiao felt a little embarrassed: "You are like tender lotus root, taro, etc., which are also considered time-honored vegetables."

After hearing this, the few people burst into laughter and asked Du Zhongxiao to choose a few things.

In this era, there were vegetables grown in greenhouses, which were supplied in winter, but the price was extremely high, and it was not affordable for a wealthy family. In winter, melons and vegetables were sold at a price, and the prices were high. Restaurants like Du Zhongxiao could not afford to purchase. The dishes that often eat in winter were still mainly pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables, etc., and the taste was imagined. Du Zhongxiao had to turn around with this restaurant, so he naturally became interested in the dishes and added stir-fry dishes.

The Song Dynasty had already had the prototype of stir-frying, but it was still very rare. The so-called stir-frying was mostly fried. The oil used was not the main ones of soybean oil and rapeseed oil in later generations, but sesame oil was mainly used. Sesame oil produced less and had high prices, so it was not affordable for every household.

Fried vegetables with soybean oil and rapeseed oil have a fishy smell, and the oil smoke is too big for lamps, which is only used by poor families. Du Zhongxiao used his knowledge in his previous life to collect beans from the market, stir-fry them first and then squeeze the oil, remove the fishy smell and use them to stir-fry them, which is considered as the feature of his own restaurant.

He Dalang and his friends were old customers of Han Jiajiajiao Store, and they were all acquaintances. Du Zhongxiao was about to use them to gain fame in the restaurant, so he hurriedly ordered the servant to go to the kitchen and ask the chef to prepare and stir-fry a few good dishes to serve them.

Just as they were talking and laughing here, Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng took a few servants and swayed in from outside. They walked around the restaurant with their faces on the frost.

When Du Zhongxiao saw this, he couldn't help but frown and shouted loudly to the servant who was welcoming guests outside the restaurant: "When you welcome the guests, why don't you win? All kinds of people are put in! These two splatters are not good people, how can they let them in? Don't disturb the guests!"

Wu Kejiu was furious when he heard this: "What are you saying? The restaurant opened the door to do business, aren't we allowed to do it?"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head repeatedly: "Are you two guests? I did evil a few days ago and almost destroyed my family. I have the fault that you still have the face to come to me. The judge Tongguan saw your relatives' face and let you go. If you don't stay at home and think about your mistakes, will you still have trouble?"

Wu Kejiu snorted coldly: "Little thief, last time I was careless and let you escape. In Linying County, go and ask, who dares to go against my family like you? I have been born for more than 20 years and have not suffered such a great loss! Remember, it is not a gentleman to not avenge this kind of revenge!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "This is good, I'm about to say it to you. Thanks to your gift, the stick injury on my body will only be healed in the past two days, and I will always have the chance to return the stick to you in the future! Last time, it was you who was arrogant, and it was your family's food and clothing. Now it's different. We have our own restaurant, so we don't have to look at your face anymore. If you do whatever you did last time, I will immediately let the servant turn you to the county government. Now the magistrate is different from the previous county magistrate Shi, and you will be nice to you then!"

Wu Kejiu just sneered and ignored Du Zhongxiao, just looked around in the restaurant. So what if he was different from the previous county magistrate Shi? As long as he didn't make trouble for the officials, what could the magistrate? The Wu family has money, and some of them are to make trouble for Du Zhongxiao.

After walking around, Wu Kejiu saw the wine jar of the "Yao Family Store" and couldn't help but change his face: "The Yao family is so bold that they actually sell wine here on credit! Their restaurant sells wine in the north of the city, and it's all my business in the north of the city. Is it not to sell my territory when I sell it here?!"

Du Zhongxiao’s restaurant is not far from “Qixiangju”, and the two have a very obvious competitive relationship. The “Yaojiazheng Store” came here to sell wine, which was obviously invading the Wu family’s territory.

The business in this era is different from Du Zhongxiao's previous life. The biggest feature is the guild and the other is the feudal guild economy mentioned in the textbook. With guild management, vicious competition is a taboo, and they generally coordinate and divide their own territory. This is the case with the restaurant industry in Linying County. "Yaojiazhengdian" is in the north of the city, "Qixiangju" is in the south of the city, and in the middle is all the official wine warehouses in the county. The county finally asked Du Zhongxiao to open the restaurant here because he had conflicts with the Wu family. The affairs of the two families did not involve other restaurants.

This time, the Wu family suffered a loss in the official position. Although they were dependent on their own relatives, they were in danger in the end, but they lost their momentum. Du Zhongxiao's restaurant selling liquor was already very popular. Wu Kejiu couldn't help but come and take a look. Unexpectedly, the "Yao Family Store" took this opportunity to sell the liquor to his own territory, which was a great deal.

Du Zhongxiao walked to the three wine jars, held his arms and said to Wu Kejiu, "We can't make wine, we can only steam strong wine from the lees to sell them. How can the restaurant business be like this? The 'Yaojiazheng Store' is in the north of the city, and they just asked them to help us sell strong wine. We sell the wine from their restaurants, and both of them get benefits and cooperate naturally. This is a natural thing, what's so strange about Xiao Yuanwai."

Wu Kejiu just sneered: "Okay, okay, you join the Yao family and fight against us. We have recorded this hatred. Tomorrow's 9th day, several restaurants in the county will discuss together. Let's listen to what Feng Jiejia said. If he ignores him, I have my own means to deal with you!"
