Chapter 173: Opening of the business

Because of the conversation with his brother last night, Fu Jingheng knew that Li Yao was short of money. For this reason, he sent Li Yao more than one or two pieces of silver that he had saved in his hand, and the silver was the money he planned to buy medicine books. He also repeatedly apologized in embarrassment for not being able to pay the money.

Belch...... He's done this apology more than once.

Fu Jingheng's money is a drop in the bucket, knowing his family's embarrassment, Li Yao confiscated it in the end. What else could she do? People know that they have to pay back, but they really can't pay it back, which is really impossible.

Eat and dress warmly, Li Yao has enough money in her hand, but the restaurant can't be as satisfied as beforehand, she has some regrets.

In the end, she thought about the benefits: if everything is done in one step, it will not be free of financial resources and manpower. In addition, she is alone, and the stall can't be spread too big, otherwise she won't be able to manage it. Since the money is so much, let's take it step by step.

At first, she thought about it a lot, but she knew that she couldn't cook too much and too much of the type of food in the early days. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to take care of it.

In the end, she still gave up the breakfast wonton and mutton soup, and changed it to soup dumplings, radish bone broth, and fire. A bowl of hot mutton soup or bone broth in the morning in winter is definitely something that can make people squint.

The reasons for abandoning wonton and mutton soup are: the former has no dumplings to eat a full stomach; The cost of the latter bowl of authentic soup is about twenty-five yuan, which is too inappropriate to make breakfast, and the cost is much higher than that of bone broth. If you eat it with spicy dogwood from the south, it will be more expensive.

This is not to mention that even if there are herdsmen in the local area, there are still more pigs and fewer sheep, and mutton is not good.

The moon silver of the soldiers of the barracks was seven hundred and five coppers. These seven hundred and five have tired families, and they themselves have to support their families to make a living.

Therefore, the lunch and dinner menus she prepares are large and affordable, and the cost is low. In this way, it can also include the consumer group of these soldiers as much as possible.

Although the pig's large intestine is a rotten stalk used by women, Li Yao feels very reasonable at this time. Because it's so low-cost and large-scale. So she came up with two fixed cheap dishes, stewed tofu with large intestines and fried fat intestines with sauerkraut. Sauerkraut she can buy locals.

The staple dishes are rice buckwheat rice, white flour buckwheat noodles steamed bread and sorghum bean dregs wowotou.

White flour steamed buns and rice, she doesn't have much to prepare every day, but she does it.

Other à la carte dishes are in order to cope with the soldiers who sometimes go to the restaurant, she made garlic cabbage tofu, vinegared cabbage, and three shreds of fried cabbage; cold bean sprouts, fried meat with bean sprouts, bean sprouts fungus soup; White radish red good meat; Pheasant stewed with mushrooms, lamb chops stewed with mushrooms; Boiled fish, fish and sheep in a pot of fresh, etc.

She picks up the dishes and picks them up herself.

After all, Li Yao underestimated the bitter cold here, and it was only halfway through September that it began to snow, and the weather became colder and colder. At this time, the woolen jacket can still resist the cold a little, and if it is further back, it is obviously not good......

In such weather, the temperature is a natural refrigerator for food storage, and foods such as dumplings can be wrapped in advance and eaten directly.

The cost of large bone broth is low, and with the addition of white radish, two coppers will be given to a large bowl, and it is estimated that there will be no leftovers when it is sold. So don't worry about it going to be unstoppable.

Where can military households be free in the winter leisure, they have to patrol and build fortifications, so the rice shop is open in this winter idle cat winter season, and there will be no shortage of people to eat.

When everything was ready, the beginning of September passed. Li Jimin was very particular about choosing an auspicious day for his granddaughter to open the zodiac.

The 17th day of the ninth lunar month is a good day for opening. Because if the opening is to be successful, the day will be uneven, so the opening date is set for September 20. On this day, the soldiers were on duty for the tenth day of the month.

From September 17 to September 19, the deputy thousand households and 100 households under Shi Qianhu had a mouthful, and of course, Chen Wenwen did not pull it down. In the past few days, Li Mingqing has invited guests, these people are dumplings in sour soup in the morning, fried stews at noon without pulling down, and they have eaten several special dishes of "our rice shop" in a few days.

That's right, our restaurant is the name that Li Yao gave to the restaurant. The name Li Jimin also smiled and praised: "Good, good!" Intimate and unpretentious, giving people a sense of home. ”

As the saying goes, take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths, because after eating other people's food, it is also appropriate to make propaganda for others in front of the soldiers under your hands.

After entering the restaurant, there is a place for guests to sit, and one table can accommodate four people, a total of thirty tables; There are three windows opposite this area, two people each. One person is responsible for collecting money, and the other is responsible for delivery.

Three windows, one window sells sour soup dumplings, which is managed by Han and Huang Zhao; A window sells fire, big bone broth, which is managed by Han Jin with Lai Bao; There is also a window that sells staple food plus stewed and stir-fried vegetables, and this place hired a fat aunt to cooperate with Li Yi.

And Li Yao just cares about cooking.

After the guests finished eating, they had to clean up and wash the dishes, and Li Yao hired Aunt Wang and her youngest son Wang Sanhu. Aunt Liao was also involved, she didn't show up to go out to entertain guests, and she didn't want to collect money on behalf of Han, but she did the laundry work. This was requested by herself to make money, and it was not hired by Li Yao.

The job of serving tea and water, Li Yao hired Huang Erzhu, the second son of Huang Zhao.

As for the rest of the Li family, either Li Yao doesn't look down on them, or they themselves are unwilling to do such work.

Except for those who cleaned up and scrubbed, the others Li Yao had been specially trained at home in advance. Greeting people always have a charter, and some people don't, so Li Yao had to write several template charters for entertaining guests in advance, so as to simulate and train them.

And the fat aunt memorized the recipes and was familiar with the recipes, so she worked hard. Li Yi is thin-faced, and the fat aunt is at the same window as him, so the fat aunt will greet the guests and serve the dishes, and he just collects the money.

The area behind the three windows is the kitchen. There are five private rooms in the entrance and reception area, the side of the window and the kitchen.

Because of the warm-up of the first three days, and the slogan of "our family" in advance of the opening of the three-day big bone broth with sorghum wotou, the first 100 people are free, so on the opening day, the restaurant was so full that it couldn't stand inside, and it was discharged a few miles outside.

And some of the staple foods prepared for the opening three days, such as dumplings and steamed buns, were sold out in one day, not to mention some dishes.

You must know that it is too late to burn in advance, but some of them were beaten in advance the day before, and the large intestine stewed tofu and sauerkraut fried fat sausage were also cooked by Li Yao before the opening, and they were heated on the stove before the opening, and they could be scooped when eaten.

Later, Ji Moxuan originally wanted to invite juniors like Fu Jingheng to come to the party, but when he arrived here, because he couldn't vacate the private room, the people in the store were also very busy, so he had to do it. However, he knew that he had called Sun Fu and his son, who were members of the family, to help.

"It's really inconsiderate, let's take some time, I can't entertain you well today." Han Jin took the time to come out and say a few words to Ji Moxuan.

Ji Moxuan and the others all stood outside because they couldn't get into the restaurant. Seeing Han Jin looking at Noble frequently with an anxious expression, looking at the long line of food buyers, Ji Moxuan had to say like this: "You go and get busy, this is also something that can't be done." I also said that I would go in and say a few words to A-Yao, but it turned out that it was not easy to enter! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you'd better go back first. I'll tell A-Yao that you've been here, and let her entertain you well in the future! ”

"Brother Han, go, don't worry about me and wait." Fu Jingheng didn't expect that it was just an ordinary restaurant, and there were so many people here, and he was also busy urging Han Jin to hurry up. (To be continued.) )
