Chapter 156: Pit You to Death
It wasn't until a layer of white light appeared on the newly pasted window paper that Zhao Siniang, who was tired of tossing, fell asleep in a daze.
Not long after Zhao Siniang fell asleep, the diligent Jiang naturally woke up, and she gently pushed her husband, who was sleeping beside her, ready to start a busy day.
Jiang's strange thing is that Zhao Siniang, who usually gets up when she hears the slightest movement around her, is still asleep today. However, Jiang felt sorry for the little girl and couldn't bear to wake her up. So she and her husband got up lightly, closed the door and let Zhao Siniang continue to sleep.
When they arrived in the back kitchen, they saw that in addition to the dishes they said they were going to make yesterday, there were also more new dishes on the cooking table, and they immediately understood why Zhao Siniang couldn't get up.
It's just that as soon as I solved this question, another question arose in my heart: I didn't hear the little girl say that I wanted to add vegetables before going to bed yesterday? Why did she make so many dishes on the fly? And these dishes look good, but the amount is so small, it's not enough to sell, right?
Although there were some doubts in their hearts, there was still a lot of work waiting for them to do, so the couple put their doubts aside for the time being and began to get busy. After a while, the others also rushed to the shop.
Although everyone had a tacit understanding not to disturb Zhao Siniang, Zhao Siniang, who had something in her heart, didn't take long to get up.
Seeing that everyone asked what was going on with those dishes, the cheeky Zhao Siniang couldn't help blushing, and hurriedly covered up that everyone had worked hard in the past few days, so she made some dishes to treat everyone. After that, she was very weak and busy heating up the meal.
The big guy believed it and happily ate the feast. Work harder. Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, the preparation of the dishes was successfully completed.
Of course, the preparation of the dishes is important, but so is the staffing. The staffing in the new shop hasn't changed much. Only the person in charge of the dishwasher made some adjustments.
Since the number of cauldrons on the stove increased from two to four, worried that the young Jiang Xiaohu would not be able to take care of it, Jiang volunteered to take the position of fire watchman in place of his nephew.
In addition, the newly added takeaway window needed a person to stand guard, so Jiang Yue'e was transferred over. The reason why Jiang Yue'e was not chosen was to let Jiang Yue'e go over after some consideration. Don't look at Jiang Yue'e, who usually doesn't talk much like her sister Jiang, but she has been helping his father sell fish on the dock since she was ten years old. He has been in contact with a wide variety of customers and has a wealth of sales experience, so he is the best candidate among the remaining few people.
That's it. There is only one dishwasher left, Zhao Sanniang, although there is Jiang Xiaohu next to him, there is definitely not enough manpower. So Yang asked Yao to hand over all the work at home to her, and sent Yao to help wash the dishes in the shop.
Everything. It's auspicious time. In the burst of "crackling" firecrackers, as the red cloth covering the signboard was removed, Zhaojiapu officially opened for business.
This time, the new shop follows the half-price promotion model of tofu last time, and it still sells for one penny per piece of tofu. The slight difference is that not only tofu, but also other soy products such as yuba and fried tofu, as well as all items sold at the take-out window, such as dry food and pickles, have joined the promotion.
Therefore, the shop not only gathers a lot of regulars who come to cheer. It also attracted many villagers from neighboring villages. In addition, it is a market day today, and many people who are not aware of the advance and are going to the market pass by the door. Seeing so many people gathered inside and outside the shop, I felt curious and came to join in the fun. For a while, the whole shop was bustling and lively.
Shopkeeper Wang, who was good friends with Zhao Siniang's family, learned that today was a good day for the opening of her family's new shop, so he came over in a carriage early in the morning to congratulate him. When he arrived, he found that not only was the lobby of the shop crowded, but there was also a long queue in the window outside the shop.
It is estimated that all the people in Zhao Siniang's family are very busy at this time, and Shopkeeper Wang is afraid that going in at this time will cause trouble for them, so he lined up behind that team. He was very curious about what good things Zhao Siniang's family had come up with, which attracted so many people to line up. After inquiring with the customer in front of him, he learned that he had come to snap up half-price tofu. Shopkeeper Wang was relieved, it turned out that the villagers did not hesitate to travel long distances to buy tofu in order to save a penny and a half. He said in his heart, this is also a good way to attract guests to the door.
Knowing that cheap tofu was being sold there, Shopkeeper Wang was immediately interested, and planned to stop joining in the fun, preparing to leave the queue. At this moment, he smelled a strong and tangy fragrance of sesame seeds, and thought to himself, isn't it just selling tofu, but also selling dim sum? If you look closely at the basket on the arm of a customer in front of you who was walking back after buying something, in addition to a bowl of tofu, it seems that it contains something he has never seen before. So he was patient and went back to the line.
When I came to the window, I saw that the long window was divided into three areas.
The front two areas are slightly empty. In one of the areas, there are only two bamboo plaques, and the aroma you just smelled is the sesame cake placed in the bamboo plaque. In another area, there are more than a dozen small jars. Almost every jar has a small plate in front of it, and the contents of the jar are supposed to be displayed in the saucer. Pickles such as pickled radish, pickled cabbage and pickled ginger are not difficult to recognize, but what are the small squares of different colors placed on several of the plates, Shopkeeper Wang is a little puzzled.
The last area was filled with two rows of eight wooden plates. It can also be regarded as a well-informed shopkeeper Wang, except for the two long plates, one old and one tender, and two kinds of tofu, the other long plates have never seen anything in them. Of course, Shopkeeper Wang, who has a lot of research on eating, doesn't know what those are, and other ordinary people don't know even more, let alone how those things are made. So there were more than a dozen small plates in front of those long plates, which contained small dishes made from those things, and some small bamboo sticks were inserted on them for the guests to try.
In fact, this kind of sales model, Shopkeeper Wang has also seen it in some shops in Jinghai County, and he does not feel particularly novel. It's just that he heard Zhao Siniang say that the Zhao Jiang family has never been to a big place like the county seat, and the most prosperous place they have ever been to is Changle Town. Then this model should be something they came up with by themselves, which made Shopkeeper Wang admire: how can their family, especially Zhao Siniang, a little girl, always pop up these whimsical ideas in their little heads?
