Chapter 509: New Life
In this way, Zhang Yang started a new life in the boss’s noodle shop. The boss’s wife was named Liu Xiang, and the chef was her younger brother, named Liu Cai. The family originally wanted him to take the top scorer, but he became a ramen chef. People nicknamed him Dazui Liu.
Because of the booming business in the store, washing dishes every day became the biggest burden, and the siblings stayed up late to wash dishes. But now that Zhang Yang is here, he has handed over the work of washing dishes. Although there is no compensation, he is responsible for food and accommodation every day, and Zhang Yang doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
The boss's wife was a little worried about Zhang Yang at first, after all, his previous behavior was a bit like a person with abnormal brains.
However, after working for a few days, she found that Zhang Yang was quite good. She only had to sleep except for eating and washing dishes every day, and did not do anything out of the ordinary. There was no news about murderers from other places in Chang'an City. She felt much more at ease and planned to keep Zhang Yang by her side.
At first, Dazui Liu was quite worried about Zhang Yang, but he didn't go out much except staying in the store every day, and he worked very hard. The most important thing is that he didn't have to pay wages. Such people can't even find them with lanterns in Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang occasionally thinks of his disciples, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, the third prince, Mao Niang and Miss Ye'er, and the White Bone Demon.
He didn't know where they were now, how they were, and whether they were still alive. Sometimes the more they thought about it, the more heartache he felt, he simply let himself work hard and wash dishes to divert his attention.
As time goes by, Liu Xiang's business is getting worse and worse. The reason is that a woman from another place came from Chang'an Street. The mutton steamed buns that were made with good taste were very delicious. The beauty of this woman from another place was similar to Liu Xiang, and the store was opened opposite Liu Xiang's beef noodle restaurant.
People cannot eat beef noodles every day. Even if you eat delicious foods often, you will get tired of it. Therefore, facing the impact of the special smell of mutton, people have moved their eating positions to new restaurants.
Faced with the fact that the business in her store was getting lighter and lighter day by day, Liu Xiang and Big Mouth Liu were also anxious. Even the remaining few old customers ran to the opposite side. She knew that she could not sit like this and wait for death, so she closed the store one morning and held an emergency meeting with Big Mouth Liu and Zhang Yang.
Next to a square wooden table, Liu Xiang gathered the only two men in the store and said to them: "Comrades, the difficulties we encountered this time are unprecedented. I have opened a store for more than ten years and have encountered such a strong competitor for the first time. For your future, I hope everyone can actively put forward suggestions and solutions to save our ten-year-old store."
Big Mouth Liu slapped the table and said angrily: "I've thought about it for a long time!"
Liu Xiang's eyes radiated and she asked, "Good brother, what did you think of?"
Big Mouth Willow said dejectedly: "I didn't expect anything."
Liu Xiang sighed, then turned to look at Zhang Yang and asked, "What about you? Is there any way?"
Zhang Yang didn't care about these things at first, but it was related to whether he could spend time here for a long time, so he thought about this matter in advance, but it was actually not impossible to save it.
He said: "Our store business is not good, and there may be several reasons: First, the beef noodles taste bad."
Big Mouth Liu patted Chang Yang's head and said unhappily: "You can insult my fat, but you can't insult my cooking skills. Do you know that my beef noodle skills were learned from a paradise. This side is refreshing and smooth, and this soup is full of beef fragrance. It is absolutely impossible to be a problem with beef noodle."
Liu Xiang waved her hand and said, "Next."
Zhang Yang continued: "The second thing is that the store should be well decorated? I saw that the store opposite is at least twice as big as ours. People don't have to queue up when they enter. The decoration is good, with flowers and grass, which is pleasing to the eye, and the guests are happy to eat. Look at our place, the small shop is less than 50 square meters, so it's so depressing."
Liu Xiang looked at her own store. She didn't think it was before, but now after Zhang Yang said this, she suddenly felt that the store was a little old. She didn't plan to expand it again, but it took a lot of money, and expanding the land also required the consent of officials. It took a lot of time and energy to deal with this series of problems.
She said: "I will consider this. I have saved a lot of money over the years. In addition to some sent to my parents in my hometown, we still have a lot left. The expansion should be fine. If you give more gifts to the officials, you can also handle this."
Zhang Yang nodded and continued, "The third thing is that it is related to our competitors. There are so many people going to the mutton steamed buns on the other side, so the taste will definitely not be bad. In addition, the boss's wife is also very beautiful, has a good figure, and she also hears it is very gentle. She is simply a spiritual poison for ordinary men and can be addicted."
Liu Xiang's face became darker and darker as she heard it. She looked at her body, and then said unhappily: "I'm not that bad either. Sure enough, men are all animals that are tired of the new and old."
Zhang Yang and Dazui Liu shook their heads at the same time. Dazui Liu said, "Sister, you can't hit you, I'm not the same as them." Zhang Yang also said, "I'm not an ordinary person."
Liu Xiang didn't believe them, but asked, "You just said the problem, what's the solution?"
Zhang Yang said: "You can only be defeated if you know yourself and your enemy. I suggest sending someone to taste the taste of their mutton steamed buns, absorb their advantages, and improve our beef noodles, and also decoration. You can also refer to it. Regarding the boss's appearance, this is naturally unchanged, so I think it depends on dressing up."
Liu Xiang felt that Zhang Yang’s words made sense. She suddenly realized that the bald head was not simple, not as dull as it seemed. She suddenly felt that her store was still saved, and then she asked, “Then, who do you think you can send to taste the taste?”
Big Mouth Liu Mao recommended himself: "I am in this business. I can tell the difference between taste and something, so it is most suitable for me to go. You two are waiting at home, and I don't believe it. How can mutton be compared with beef!"
In fact, letting Liu Xiang take off the big-mouth Liu, because she is her own person, unlike Zhang Yang, there is no suspicion of joining her family, so she happily agreed.
However, most people on this street have eaten noodles at Liu Xiang's house, and of course they also recognize big-mouthed willows, so they have to let the big-mouthed willows gossip. In order to prevent others from gossiping, they have to dress up well.
