86. Final preparations before opening
Chinese After sending away the county magistrate Xie and others who were still immersed in the aftertaste of the food, He Xiaojun did not rest, but started work overnight, and he had to frame and hang the inscription of the county magistrate so that the restaurant could open smoothly tomorrow.
In the whole restaurant, He Xiaojun still used the name "good taste", and he also followed the local customs, learning from other business shops in that era, and hung a couplet written by himself on both sides of the gate, "The people take food as the sky, and food takes taste first".
Although the name and couplet of this restaurant are not elegant, they are easy to remember and appropriate. After all, restaurants that mainly operate in the middle and low-end are mostly people with low cultural levels, so how can they have the leisure to care whether the name of your restaurant is elegant or not? As long as the food in your restaurant is delicious.
He Xiaojun gave the name to his restaurant just to be loud and easy to remember, so that the guests could make it catchy. In this way, once the contents of the store attract customers, the name of the store will be praised much faster, and the customer will play the role of free advertising for the store.
After listening to He Xiaojun's explanation of this restaurant, the county magistrate Xie and the old man Chen Chi who wrote the inscription couldn't help but nod their heads appreciatively, and they had a better understanding of He Xiaojun's lively head.
He Xiaojun used the entire floor of the first floor of the small building and the courtyard of the small building to do low-end business.
In fact, He Xiaojun's middle and low grade is divided into three gears to be precise.
The lowest level of the restaurant is the courtyard of the small building.
It turned out that when He Xiaojun was thinking about how to dispose of the abandoned stall objects, he inadvertently remembered the rather large and flat courtyard of the small building, which seemed bigger than empty, so he had an idea, and after preparing to finish today's night market, he put the items used in the stalls in this courtyard and opened the lowest grade and cheapest business of the restaurant.
One level higher than the courtyard is the hall that was converted from the original living room on the first floor of the small building. The hall can accommodate more than a dozen tables.
The mid-range business is remodeled from the original room on the first floor of the small building. There are four rooms on the first floor, and each room can accommodate one seat. Of course, the decoration and area of the rooms here are much worse than the "deluxe rooms" on the second floor.
When it comes to the table in the restaurant, He Xiaojun did not use the better and better-looking large round table in his previous life, but still used the unique "Eight Immortals Table" of that era. The reasons are, first, because the round table has to be customized, and it can't catch up in time; Second, He Xiaojun is afraid that contemporary people will not accept the new thing of the round table.
He Xiaojun is the kind of person who fights prepared battles, and he has already prepared the signboard, so the ink treasure given by the county magistrate was directly written on the signboard, which saved He Xiaojun a lot of work, just hang up the signboard.
He Xiaojun took advantage of the happiness of County Magistrate Xie today, and also used his appreciation of the decoration and dishes of himself and his restaurant to give him a lot of ink treasures at one time, not only writing the signboard and couplet on the first floor, but also writing the signboard on the second floor.
The signboard on the second floor, He Xiaojun originally planned to hang it at the door of the second floor, but when he was about to hang it, He Xiaojun found a more suitable signboard to hang the signboard at the staircase, which is equivalent to completely separating the second floor from the first floor, giving people the illusion of a different business, and completely separating the high-end on the second floor from the middle and low-end on the first floor. Moreover, if you make a gatehouse for the staircase on the second floor and hang the signboard, it will also make the second floor more classy.
So, He Xiaojun started overnight and made a simple gatehouse for the stairs on the second floor with bamboo, and then hung up the signboard of "Bamboo Rhyme" written by the county magistrate.
After the signboard was hung up, He Xiaojun looked at the bamboo decoration starting from the gatehouse to the entrance on the second floor, and he still felt unfinished.
It turned out that the original owner of the small building should also be an elegant person, and he planted several clumps of landscape bamboo in the garden, two of which were next to the stairs rebuilt by He Xiaojun.
He Xiaojun took a roll of fishing line from the house, and dragged the two bamboo clumps next to the stairs to the bamboo ladder, so that people looked as if the bamboo was originally growing towards the bamboo ladder, which did not feel abrupt, but made the bamboo ladder have an extra volley of scenery.
After these efforts are completed, it is already the time for the people of "Zuixiang Building" to come to supper. Tonight, He Xiaojun invited all the people who usually come to the stall for supper in the "Zuixiang Building" to come over, firstly, to thank them for their usual support, and secondly, to hope that they will continue to support themselves in the future and bring more business to the restaurant.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, the four girls who were not selling their bodies came over.
After He Xiaojun entered the "luxury room", several girls stayed, how could they have ever been to such a high-end restaurant? Therefore, after entering, they seemed to feel uneasy, as if they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would ruin the mood and setting here.
Originally, if it was only in order to attract business for the restaurant, He Xiaojun did not need to invite these girls, because the girls would definitely not be able to attract business for the restaurant.
However, after a period of communication with the stall, He Xiaojun has regarded these ambitious girls as his sisters, so he doesn't care whether they can bring him business, or even whether they have the money to patronize his restaurant, but still invited them over to cheer him on.
Let a few girls not be restrained, and then let Ah Lian, who is not much older than them, sit down with them and chat first, and then He Xiaojun took time out to do his own business.
After the "Twelve Golden Guards" and "Drunken Fragrance Building" old bustard Aunt Hong, the big man of the Green Gang and the turtle Gong who watched the scene came over, He Xiaojun put on the supper he specially prepared for these people today.
These guests of "Zuixiang Building", He Xiaojun arranged them in three tables, one table was the four girls who did not sell their bodies and the three sisters Amei.
Originally, when the three sisters first arrived in the county seat, they were not familiar with the people here, and they also had the inferiority complex of rural women and did not want to attend the table.
Since He Xiaojun has the idea of making their sisters happy, of course, he must first occupy a seat in the "Twelve Golden Arms". Since the "Eight Immortals Table" was not enough for twelve people to sit, He Xiaojun put the two tables together so that they could just sit down.
Aunt Hong, the big man watching the scene and the turtle Gong occupied a seat, they belonged to the management of the "Zuixiang Building", of course, it was not easy to arrange them to sit with their subordinates. At this table, He Xiaojun asked Da Niu to accompany him, firstly, to let him deal with the drinking of the two men, and secondly, to give him more opportunities to contact his dream lover, Aunt Hong.
The two of them, the old man Chen Chi, went to bed early and went upstairs to rest, while the others went to the table to accompany the guests, so today's running hall is only our protagonist He Xiaojun.
Fortunately, the food for supper is definitely not as rich as the dinner just now, and it has been prepared in the morning, coupled with our Boss He's agility, he can steadily serve three dishes of different sizes and the same content every time, so after five round-trips, his running hall can be regarded as completing the task.
The supper prepared for the group of people in Zuixianglou is basically a miniature version of the dinner just now.
The beef bone broth and beef brisket radish are cooked in a large pot in the morning, and they are also kept warm in a coal oven, so they can be scooped up according to the estimated amount per person.
"Iron plate pork offal" was changed to the stall's signature dish "stir-fried pork offal", just because of the iron plate for making "iron plate pork offal", He Xiaojun only got two for the time being, and he couldn't cook three such dishes at once.
Alas, the contemporary society is really too backward, and it is really not easy to find some iron guys.
plus a dish of lo-mei that is one grade lower than "phoenix eye liver" and a lo noodle that is also the stall's sign, that is, He Xiaojun's supper to entertain the people of Zuixianglou tonight.
Although these five dishes are more than a step worse than the one they tried just now, whether they are in color or grade, they are already quite sumptuous as a supper, and they are still hand-concocted by He Xiaojun, a contemporary "chef", of course, it is already considered a high-quality food.
Look, even the class of "Drunken Xianglou" who have seen the world in the city are all eating eyebrows, doesn't this already prove the quality of He Xiaojun's things? Cat flutter Chinese
