The day before the opening, Shi Gui Qiu Niang took Wang Niangzi to be busy in the small courtyard, the menu on the first day is Qiu Niang's specialty of braised leaf shutter knots, the cauldron is simple to make, but it takes enough effort, the gravy is soaked in the soup, and the shutter knots are cooked to taste delicious.

The pork has been ordered a long time ago, Shi Gui followed Wang Niangzi to the market and walked around, eighty catties of pigs are one or two or six dollars of silver, forty catties and sixty catties have another price, Shi Gui calculated an account, the unit price is the same, heavier naturally there are, but not ordinary people can buy.

Shi Gui only should be as heavy as possible, but Wang Niangzi smiled: "No matter how heavy it is, it is for sacrifice, ordinary people can't buy it, eighty catties is already the heaviest, we counted two hundred copies the day before, and it is enough to buy forty catties of meat." ”

She wanted to buy a pig and come back, but Mrs. Wang said: "There is no place to spend a mouthful of pigs, but the pork belly we want is not needed next to it, so it is better to buy it alone." ”

You have to add shutters to it, half of the pork and half of the shutters, and four catties of pigs can make two hundred and fifty portions of rice, which is still enough, Wang Niangzi also said that this is too little money, Shi Gui has calculated a sum of money, first made it clear that there is no profit, just thinking about not losing, and when the reputation spreads, and the business of Datongpu is done, it will not be a loss.

Shi Guitong agreed with the pork seller that if it sells well today, if he sends a pig back every three days, he will be killed alive, but if the meat is a little bad, he won't want his family.

As long as there is a place for the store, put some stools and tables, and if someone comes to sell food, they have to pay the store a profit, and the person who sells dried pears only needs this person to sell dried pears, and the person who sells tea soup can make money as long as this one is in the tea soup, and Shi Gui does not believe that his own restaurant does not make money.

Wang Niangzi and Songluo live in the restaurant, Shi Gui is not at ease, they are a woman and a child, they live far away, how do you know that Wang Niangzi laughed: "If there is something, I will shout to take away the water, there are all dock workers, eating at sea, the most afraid is that the fire burns the boat net, as soon as I hear that the water is more afraid than anything else, I don't want to cause trouble, I have to get up and take a look." ”

Shi Gui was still not at ease, so Wang Niangzi sighed: "It turns out that it is the same at home, my one can't see anyone, and our mother and daughter are better." "If you get drunk, you have to beat people, and she has developed a cowardly temperament when she is a child, as long as she doesn't speak loudly, she will be too scared to move.

Let her live in the Ye family, it is better to live outside with her mother, Shi Gui nodded, and changed the thick door, a small room was cleaned up by Wang Niangzi, Shi Gui heard her say to Songluo: "Wait for my mother to take the first month's monthly money, buy you a piece of flower cloth, and make a small quilt of parquet." ”

There was a little smile in Songluo's big eyes, and he didn't even dare to laugh too much, nodded slightly, pursed his mouth and smiled, Shi Gui couldn't be a good person anymore, so he let Qiu Niang go, and first paid half a month's monthly money to Wang Niangzi.

Wang Niangzi is a person who bought it, and the monthly money is not as much as when she works outside, but she is very content, and sighs to Qiu Niang: "It is my blessing to have such a good master of the girl's family." ”

It's better for her to sell out like this than to be a hired laborer, and the money she gets from being a hired worker has to be taken away by her husband, and it's different if she signs a deed to sell her body, her body belongs to the master's family, and it's useless for her husband to look for it again.

Treating himself as a cow and horse is really a way to survive, Shi Gui listened to it silently, and the green calyx was also sentimental, so he took out his old dress and changed his clothes for Songluo.

Wang Niangzi cleaned up the small courtyard of the stove and moved the wisteria plant: "It's too late this year, and it will bloom next year, so I can make rattan basket cakes to eat." ”

She also wanted to tie a bamboo fence, raise two chickens in it, a handful of some rice, so that the eggs to eat, Wang Niangzi did everything herself when she was at home, the first day of opening, she was a little panicked, Qiu Niang came very early, and went out at dawn, when Wang Niangzi had already scooped up rice and was ready to cook.

Qiu Niang is not in charge of the spoon, only let Wang Niangzi do, Qiu Niang cut the meat, the green calyx and Shi Gui soaked the shutters in the water and knotted them, the pine basket washed the bamboo bowl, Shi Gui asked the mason to empty the room when he built the stove, as an operating table, a bamboo table put together, the pine basket lined up the cleaned bowls on it, and the cooked rice was added to it one by one.

The room is full of the smell of boiled meat, Wang Niangzi made a big material, wrapped the fennel star anise in cotton gauze, Shi Gui liked her meticulous work, a few people did not say a word, around the stove, the pine basket went to the stove to watch the fire after washing the dishes, the hour has not yet come, Uncle Ngawang's son Dafa came.

He just delivered the goods, but he also came early to help, and when he smelled the smell of meat, he smiled, and said a local word, and Wang Niangzi smiled: "He said it was very fragrant." ”

Shi Gui had already wrapped their rice, and two of them were for him and Uncle Ngawang, and he had the strength to see that the rice was cooked and put in a wooden basin, with one hand in the wooden basin and a spoon in the other.

The spoon is special, a spoonful of rice and a spoonful of vegetables, the bamboo tube is covered, the small courtyard is fragrant, a bowl of bowls is put on the car, pinching the point of putting the rice to the dock, hanging the flag, Shiji bamboo tube rice is a twenty-five Wen.

Shi Guiqiu Niang's green calyx went to see it together, at first only people watched, and when Dafa opened a box of chops and pulled it up, someone smelled the smell of meat and came over, and the green calyx helped collect money, a small wooden box, which was filled with flutter after a while, this meal was enough and cheap, the portion was just right, how could no one buy it.

The green calyx can't speak Suizhou dialect, and wants to tell sù another Ming'er to change the color of the dish, and his face turned red after a long time, Shi Gui looked at it and was just as anxious, so he had to hurry up and make the advertisement.

One with the other, after a while, the side of the car was full of people, Shi Gui watched from afar, the people who ate had no place to sit, and they could buy some small sticks, just eating was too dry, and it was time for the bamboo cup to come in handy.

Shi Gui and Qiu Niang stood and watched, and there were also people in the circle of shops who came out to watch the excitement, but there were not many meals prepared, and one hundred and fifty copies were sold out in the blink of an eye, and the hands of the green calyx counting the money were sour.

There are many dock workers, and then there are those who come to buy, and there are no more, so the first batch of workers is placed, and there are people behind them, and they push the cart all the way back, and they will come again every other time, and eating rice is not as full as eating noodles and wontons.

The rest was prepared to be sent to Uncle Ngawang in the evening, but there was no business left undone, so the loose basket washed the dishes, stepped up the washing of fifty, and loaded it into a cart and sent it out to sell.

Shi Gui hurriedly went to buy pork again, and when the workers went to work again, there was a stove in the house, and the green calyx Qiu Niang helped wash the dishes, and fetched water, and Wang Niangzi was still cutting meat, so she had to prepare for the evening.

Only ordered forty catties with the pork shop, and bought another twenty catties, no more, Shi Gui simply bought two baskets of eggplants, the weather in Suizhou was hot, and the eggplant was listed earlier, and the vegetable seller sent it for her, knowing that this was a rice shop, and the replenishment at this time was a good business, and she was willing to spare two prices, so that she would buy vegetables at her own vegetable stall in the future.

At night, it is the eggplant with meat foam, Shi Gui asked Wang Niangzi not to be reluctant to use oil, the big oil is fried to be fragrant and delicious, these people are dry and live, how much oil and water to eat are still few, Wang Niangzi smiled and responded, the car was pushed back, the money box was full, the green calyx took the red rope out, Shi Gui took the account book, a little money, a bookkeeper.

One day of rice, vegetables, meat, firewood, and water plus the total shared two taels of silver, just at noon there were five taels in the account, and then amortized the labor costs, almost two taels a day, and once in the evening, Shi Gui didn't expect that the first day of business would be able to get so much, and the tired back pain also felt that it was worth it.

The red rope strung up five strings of money, a string of 1,000 Wen, Ming'er's food money was also available, and a room full of women laughed, Shi Gui planned to not only have one car, but also to hire another person, and sell the two docks in the north and south.

If you really do it, you have to work as a small worker, Wang Niangzi can't be busy alone, if the daily ration is 800 copies, even the rent money will come back in half a month.

I think it's a good idea, but the lack of manpower is a big problem, Shi Gui bites the bamboo pole and is distracted, but Qiu Niang knows her daughter's thoughts, she thought about going into the city to open a shop when she was a little older, and she didn't know what to plan in her mind at this time: "Don't think about becoming fat in one bite." ”

Shi Gui's face was red, she was really out of her mind just now, thinking that there were carts pushing on the whole wharf, and she also felt funny, it turned out that those who opened shops were not affected much by the business at this time, so they didn't care about her, they really wanted to launch these many cars, and they didn't make a fuss.

There are 8,000 to 10,000 workers on the dock, and there is no loss in opening a restaurant here, Shi Gui has done a business of four or five hundred in it, which is already very good, different from the shop, the flow of people is large and the shipment is fast, and it sells a single food, as long as it is pushed farther away, the reputation spreads, maybe someone will really order it.

She has to make a list, print some to send out, and get a poster to put it out, but she doesn't know how much it costs to print a board, and she thinks about it step by step, the two Qiu Niang and Wang Niangzi have already cleaned up the table, put out the food, and two plates of pickles made by Wang Niangzi, and push them out for Shi Gui to taste: "Girl, see if this can be sold." ”

There is nothing that can't be sold with braised eggs and dried pickles, Shi Gui tasted it and nodded at her: "Let's make the reputation first, and then raise the file, how much does it cost to add an egg, and how much does it cost to add a pickle." ”

Wang Niangzi immediately laughed, Shi Gui promised her, if she did a good job and gave her a monthly payment, she looked at her daughter, she couldn't redeem herself, she had to redeem her daughter.

Qiu Niang was taken aback when she ate: "What we bought is just ordinary japonica rice, how can we eat it so well?" Shi Gui tasted it, and sure enough, the rice was glutinous and springy, and Wang Niangzi laughed: "I put some glutinous rice in it, so that the cooked rice is more fragrant." ”

Glutinous rice is expensive, but it seems that the rice is good to use when you put a few handfuls, and it is strange that they eat so fragrantly, Shi Gui laughed: "If Wang Niangzi still has a good idea in the future, you must tell me, I can buy what you want." ”

After a busy morning, I was already hungry, and after a while, the dishes on the table were eaten clean, Shi Gui did not take a lunch break, and was in a hurry to go out to find a carpenter.
