Chapter 182 Operation
There was suddenly one less person in the house, and it was really a lot more deserted.
Ping An understands that Yunzhu is in a bad mood and suggests that the opening date be postponed.
Yunzhu said: "There is no need to postpone it, it has been decided, and it has been notified everywhere, and if it is postponed, it will have to wait until when." Let's go, I'm fine. ”
"I'm worried about you!"
"I'm fine." Yunzhu has to cheer up, after all, life has to go on, and she has to go on.
Everything is ready for the opening, I bought five bags of flour, and I have dried rare mushrooms last year, pickled cabbage, dried bamboo shoots dried in spring, and more cowpeas this year. Ping'an asked the yellow butcher for some shoulder blades and tube bones, and the chickens and ducks were killed by their own family. As for the green onions, ginger and garlic, they are also produced in their own fields, and of course, the new green leafy vegetables are also indispensable. For this purpose, I also bought twenty catties of meat.
On the day of opening, Yunzhu got up at two o'clock, called Ping'an too, and didn't care about eating. asked Yunzhu to pull the ingredients they bought on a cart, and they went to the shop in the dark.
The dog barked non-stop along the way, but fortunately, the road was very familiar.
When he finally arrived at the shop, Ping An took out a fire fold and lit an oil lamp.
The shop had been thoroughly cleaned yesterday, the floor had been washed, and every table had been brushed. The stove was also cleaned.
There is some firewood hidden under the stove, which was left last night. The next job is to make a fire to boil bone broth, fry the dumplings, and make cut noodles.
Yunzhu first boiled a pot of hot water and foamed the fungus, rare mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and the like. It's a pity that she can't buy beef casually, otherwise she will be more skilled at cooking beef. The fragrant beef noodles are sure to be loved by everyone.
While Yunzhu was busy, Ping An was not idle, and cleaned all the chickens and ducks. After asking Yunzhu, he slaughtered into a block. By the time dawn came, the bone soup had been boiled, and the chicken and duck were stewed and braised separately.
Next, you have to fry the seeds, which must be Yunzhu's strong point. Stir-fried fungus eggs and spicy mushrooms respectively, which also have a relatively light taste. The smell of meat filled the room, and when he saw that the sky was already bright, he opened the doors and windows, and the smell spread.
Ping An helped to lay a hand. The onions, ginger, garlic, coriander and so on were all cleaned up, and all kinds of spices had already been prepared, and they were neatly piled up on the board. Cover with cleanly washed gauze.
Perhaps it was the diffusion of the aroma that attracted guests.
"You're new here?"
Ping An smiled and said, "It's only opened today, you can come in and eat a bowl of hot noodles." You're the first customer, I'll give it for free! ”
The man was a man in his forties. Hearing this, he was overjoyed: "And such a good thing? "Rub your hands together. I went inside the store. Ping An hurriedly greeted him: "May I ask what kind of noodles do you always want to eat?" ”
"What kind of noodles do you have here?"
Ping An reported it again: "Fungus eggs, mushrooms, sauerkraut, clear soup duck, clear soup chicken, braised chicken, braised duck, rotten meat cowpeas, miscellaneous sauce." ”
"Yo, it's really complete, I can't tell it's just opened." The man pondered for a long time, tangled and tangled, and finally chose mushrooms and clear soup.
Yunzhu was busy stretching her face, and Ping An was worried that she would not be able to do it with her hands. Hurry up and help her.
This man looked at Yunzhu's skillful skills, and secretly said in his heart: This mother-in-law is capable. The big man completely gave her a hand. When Yunzhu stretched out the noodles as thin as a hair, she couldn't help but applaud her in her heart.
The water in the pot was already boiling, billowing with white smoke, and Yunzhu threw the noodles down and pulled them away with long chopsticks. It's busy with spices again. When the noodles are almost cooked, throw a few of the washed cabbage down. He turned around and asked with a smile: "Does Uncle eat harder or softer?" ”
The man said: "It's better to be softer." ”
Yun Zhu boiled two more boils of water, and when he saw that it was about the same, he scooped up the noodles with a basket, scooped up a few large spoons of boiled bone broth, and finally poured the noodles on them. A steaming bowl of vegetarian noodles will do just fine.
Ping An hurriedly took it and said respectfully: "Please taste it, see how it tastes?" ”
The man sniffed hard, the taste was quite fragrant, he picked up the chopsticks and mixed well, and took a sip of it, the noodles were moderately soft and hard, and the muscles were smooth. The taste is moderately salty, and the mushrooms are also delicious, soft and fluffy.
He buried his head in eating noodles, and he didn't care about evaluation, and when he even ate the soup and noodles cleanly, he exclaimed: "Refreshing!" It's so refreshing! The weather was still a little hot, and he was naturally sweating profusely.
Ping An stepped forward and asked, "How is it, how does it taste?" ”
"Yes, I've eaten a lot of restaurants, and this noodle is really delicious. You've been running a noodle shop for years, right? ”
Ping'an smiled: "Where, this is the first time, and this bowl is the first bowl." ”
The man was even more surprised, he gave Yunzhu a thumbs up and praised: "This lady is really amazing." ”
Yunzhu said modestly: "I don't have much experience, I came according to my own ideas, and I have to ask for more advice if there is anything bad." If you think it's good, don't forget to help us get the word out. ”
The man patted his chest and said: "No problem, I'm afraid that I don't need to publicize it, with the craftsmanship of the lady, I don't have to worry about no guests." In the future, business will be prosperous and the wealth will be rolling! ”
The man did not hesitate to say auspicious words, and the couple listened to it very well.
That's it.
They are not a proper street, and the location is a bit remote, but fortunately, it is not far from the market, and the flow of people is not small. As time went on, it attracted some diners.
The couple is still a partner for the first time, and they have a very tacit understanding, the two have a clear division of labor, and no one delays anyone.
Feng Ping'an, who used to be honest and silent, was still a little restrained when he first ran to the hall to greet guests, but he completely let go later, with a good voice, respectful and polite, and a little sincere smile, although the appearance is a little more vicious, but it can also make people feel at home, plus Yunzhu's craftsmanship is good, and before half the morning, more than ten bowls of noodles were sold, which is indeed a good start. A little later, Mrs. Feng came and said that she wanted to help light the fire. One more person. There is always a lot of strength.
It didn't take long for the Wang family and the Liu family to send firecrackers, saying that they wanted to be lively.
Firecrackers exploded at the entrance of the alley. There was a rumbling sound, and the movement was really not small.
Safely entertained the two families with a bowl of noodles each, and attracted a group of guests, and in a blink of an eye, a few tables were a little insufficient. I had to let them wait in line first. Yun Zhu was busy cooking noodles, Feng Lao Niang was busy lighting the fire, and occasionally helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Wash it and greet the guests safely. A family of three, their faces are about to stiffen. But everyone in their hearts is happy. The beginning is good, as if you can see a lot of money coming into your pocket in the future.
I finally got busy with this group of guests, and I had a little free.
Wang Qingshan and Liu Meng also joined in greeting the guests, waiting until there were fewer people. They sat down at the table and let me cook a bowl of noodles. Yun Zhu naturally cooked a big bowl of noodles for each of them very generously. I scooped it a little more.
The two of them buried their heads in eating. He didn't speak, and when he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, Liu Meng sighed: "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good, it's really fragrant!" ”
"I don't have any skills, and I don't dare to open this shop."
"That's right. Peace will be blessed in the future. ”
Ping An teased: "You only know now." ”
Wang Qingshan hit two haha.
At noon, it was naturally even busier, and Liu Meng and Wang Qingshan had already fully joined their team to help them greet guests. I also borrowed tables and stools from other places, and set up a few tables not far from the door.
Somen noodles are two taels and five dollars. The meat is sold for seven cents in two, and the price is very attractive. They also carefully considered this price at the beginning, and temporarily implemented this price, and then slowly raised it when the source of customers stabilized, but it was not very expensive. It is the route of civilians.
After noon, the number of diners gradually decreased. Yunzhu also had time to sit down and drink some water. The three of them were still hungry, so Ping'an cooked noodles here to let Yunzhu go out to breathe.
As soon as Yunzhu walked under the tree, she saw her Master Zhang and Lao Zhou coming.
Yunzhu was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him: "Master, why did your old man come in person?" ”
Master Zhang said: "You know I'm busy in the morning, otherwise I should have come over earlier." ”
Yunzhu hurried to say hello to Lao Zhou again.
Lao Zhou nodded and said, "It's been morning, how is it?" ”
Yunzhu smiled: "It's okay, I'm just idle here." ”
"Yo, that sounds good." Lao Zhou said congratulations, and gave another red seal, which contained six coins of broken silver. Master Zhang invited a gold god of wealth to come.
Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "This is too valuable!" ”
Master Zhang smiled and said, "The God of Wealth enters the door, are you still blocking it?" ”
Yunzhu was speechless for a while.
There was peace here, but they were worried, and they didn't have time to book incense for the God of Wealth. I had to temporarily invite this God of Wealth to the cabinet and put it away.
Mrs. Feng expressed her sincere gratitude to the two for their congratulations.
Yun Zhu naturally got a bowl of noodles and let them try their craft.
Master Zhang listened to Ping'an's report on the types of Zhenzi, nodded and said, "It's quite complete, but the land is a little smaller." You might as well have money in the future, and you can find a big one again. ”
Lao Zhou smiled a little awkwardly on the side, secretly thinking that he had just opened, and he would dislike his shop for being small. But selling a bowl of noodles is not much of a deal.
Master Zhang remembered something, took it out of his arms, took out a red seal, handed it to Ping'an, and said, "This is a little bit of our shopkeeper's heart." ”
Ping An hesitated before taking it: "Why didn't the shopkeeper Chen come together?" ”
"Our shopkeeper is busy, and we can't leave."
Yunzhu thinks that Chen Shen has a heart.
When the noodles are served, Lao Zhou will eat them with his head down. Master Zhang commented professionally: "Well, the noodles are evenly thickened and stretched well." Enough cheeks, too. There is a sell-out. This clear soup is more skillful, unlike red soup, which can be covered up with seasonings. But this oil and water, it seems to be too much, if they are all sold like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to make a few, and you will lose money if you have fewer people. ”
Although it was not good to say that he was losing money when he first opened, Master Zhang said what he wanted to say, and it was also the truth.
Yunzhu listened humbly: "In the end, it is the master, it makes sense." ”
"yes. These are all cost-effective. Master Zhang chattered and finally put down the chopsticks.
Lao Zhou has finished eating, and he praised it: "It's really good, it seems that I will taste your noodles here in the future." ”
"That's a good feeling, we always welcome it."
Chef Zhang ate slowly, savored the taste carefully, and waited until the noodles were finished. After wiping his mouth, he said, "Well, it's still a problem with oil and water, and I feel a little tired." ”
Yunzhu said: "I know, Master has always liked light. ”
"Yes, there is also the fact that this chicken will be more fragrant if it is fried first and then stewed, and the meat is a little bigger."
Ping An thought that this was indeed an expert, and immediately found out all the deficiencies.
"I said this, Song, don't be angry."
Yun Zhu replied humbly: "How can you be angry, Master gives advice, I can't wait." You're right, I didn't have much experience in opening a shop for the first time, so I'll get better slowly. ”
"It's the first time we've done this, it's already remarkable!" Master Zhang also gave her a thumbs up.
Master Zhang's words made Yunzhu very teachable. On the first day of opening, Yunzhu wanted to stay late, but because he got up early in the morning, he was already fighting at the moment.
Ping'an stood at the door and looked at the sky, it was already sunset, and there were no guests for a long time, he turned his head and said to Yunzhu, "Let's clean up and close the door." ”
"Let's wait a little longer, it's not too late when it gets dark."
"Not too late? Isn't it hard for you to have a busy day? Aren't you even able to lift your arms behind you, I said I'll leave the kneading and dough kneading work to me tomorrow."
Yun Zhu felt that her arms were swelling for a while, and at the end of the day, she was a little struggling, thinking that her physical strength was really a problem. She did not refuse Ping'an's proposal.
I cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and if I could take them back, I tried to bring them back as much as possible, after all, there was no one to guard the shop, for fear of theft.
When he arrived at home, Yun Zhu poured out all the money in the cloth bag, counted them one by one, and the numbers matched, and sold them for a total of four hundred and thirteen yuan. Every bowl sold, whether it was meat or vegetarian, she recorded it, and it matched the accounts. A total of seventy-two bowls of noodles were sold, which was really good for the first day.
Yunzhu felt that this road was full of hope, although his body was sore, but looking at this pile of money, his heart was already happy, and he even forgot the depression of Tian Tian for a while.
"I'm so happy every time I see you counting money!"
"Of course it's nice to count the money. What did my mother say to you? ”
Ping'an sat on the edge of the bed, helped Yunzhu put all the money back, and said casually: "Mother said why didn't the second aunt go to congratulate." ”
Feng Bai's lack of showing his face made Feng Lao Niang feel guilty, Yun Zhu didn't take it seriously, and said flatly: "Maybe it's because the family is busy and can't leave." ”
Ping An had no choice but to think so, but his mother had a pimple in her heart, thinking that if she didn't go to the party, she wouldn't give them face in the long room. I was so depressed that I didn't even eat much for dinner. (To be continued......)
