Chapter 39: Small Fish Hot Pot
The years have passed.
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
This year, Wang Zhong was eighteen years old.
Although he and Guo Yueluo have been married for three years, Guo Yueluo's belly has never grown.
The people in the village finally couldn't help but point fingers at Wang Chong, but Wang Chong directly ignored these.
These people know a fart, he is still young, but he doesn't want to have a child so early, so when he and Guo Yueluo are together, they are all outside the body at critical moments, and sometimes Yueluo eats hot.
Of course, Guo Yueluo understands Wang Chong's thoughts, but where is she embarrassed to say to outsiders, every time her parents ask, she always lowers her head in embarrassment, saying that they don't want children for the time being, career is the priority, and they are young anyway.
In the past two years, Wang Chong has been preparing for the hot pot.
It's not that he doesn't want to speed up, it's really scary that the efficiency of things in ancient times was inefficient.
For example, to make those casseroles, it took three months to verify them before and after he had a casserole that he was satisfied with, and the craftsman almost died of picking.
After that, it is to prepare the hot pot seasoning, which is the soul of the hot pot, and the hot pot is incomplete without the seasoning.
But Wang Chong had only eaten hot pot before, and had never done it, so he needed to debug them one by one.
Today, I prepare sour and spicy together, tomorrow I prepare sweet and salty together, and sometimes I prepare onion and garlic together, and I have adjusted a lot of flavors, and finally tested seven flavors.
Among them, the flavors can be intermoded, and the flexibility is very large.
Once the basic ingredients are ready, all that's left is the ingredients.
There is no shortage of ingredients for the time being, Wang Chong's family has chickens, ducks, as well as cattle, sheep and pigs.
Everything is ready, all that remains is to find the right location.
In the end, with the help of his father-in-law Guo Zhuang, Wang Chong found a restaurant located on the edge of the river in the city, where there is a large flow of people, but there are also shortcomings, that is, there are many taverns, and if you want to start a career here, you have to have a lot of confidence.
The last restaurant owner, because there was no good chef, eventually had less and less business and closed down.
When Wang Chong saw this restaurant, he immediately decided to choose this place.
The restaurant has two floors, each with more than a dozen seats.
There is also a backyard at the back, which is a back kitchen, a firewood room, and three huts that can be used for people.
In order to rent this restaurant, he still lacked a lot of savings for many years, so he gritted his teeth and sold all the cattle in the family, so he scraped together a silver tael and rented the restaurant for two years.
Evening.
It's autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.
After the restaurant was rented, Wang Chong and Guo Yueluo temporarily lived in their father-in-law's house.
Today, in order to celebrate the opening of the hot pot restaurant, Wang Chong took Yalan and his mother over.
The family ate Wang Chong's hot pot at Guo Zhuang's house, this thing did eat with an atmosphere, Guo Zhuang drank several more cups, and some of them were on top.
He picked up a few thin slices of mutton shabu and put them into the pot, and then said to the king: "Virtuous son-in-law, this hot pot is really delicious, especially if it is winter soon, it makes people warm a lot after eating, but have you thought about summer?" It's hot and dry in summer, and this hot pot is not suitable for eating. ”
"I've thought about this for a long time, and at the same time as the hot pot is launched, I'm going to make grilled fish again."
"Grilled fish?"
The family was surprised, and even Guo Yueluo looked at Wang Chong in surprise, because she had never heard of it.
Wang Chong said calmly: "I'll talk about this later." ”
"Okay, son-in-law, if there's anything you need my old bone to help with, just say it." Guo Zhuang was full of arrogance and looked at his mother-in-law Sun Yan: "Our family is not busy recently, let those helpers go to our virtuous son-in-law restaurant to help for a few days." ”
"Hey, I'll talk to them when I get back." Sun Yan nodded.
…………
"Thunderbolt Bala......"
Three days later, the Little Fish Hot Pot Restaurant officially opened.
In order to build momentum, Guo Zhuang invited many local relatives and friends.
Wang Chong asked Yalan to bring pen and ink and personally wrote down the leaflets.
Xiaoyu hot pot is officially opened!
One person only needs 49 Wen, not only can taste all the vegetable products in the store, but also give two catties of chicken as the base soup.
After that, the meat is counted separately, and the child is brought in, and the child does not count the capitation fee.
The leaflet was written all morning, and by the end, Yalan had learned it herself, so Wang Zhong asked her to write it.
If you don't count the guys brought by Guo Zhuang in the restaurant, Wang Chong invited a total of 8 people.
Three people are responsible for the meat in the kitchen, two are responsible for washing and picking vegetables, and three people are responsible for serving tea and water.
As for Yalan and Guo Yueluo, they are responsible for some matters of going out to procure, and occasionally do some work.
Mother Zhang Xiaohong was also working at the counter, settling the bill or something.
Now the family's livestock have been sold by Wang Chong, and most of them have been sent to Guo Zhuang's pigsty to be raised.
He's big enough to have a lot of land, but it's mostly pig-raising.
The land at home was basically handed over to Aunt Sun and Uncle Ma Wu to take care of.
As soon as such a new hot pot restaurant opened, it immediately attracted the attention of many people in the city, no way, every time someone passes by here, they will smell the fragrance of hot pot wafting from inside, the key price is close to the people, as long as you don't order meat, a person only needs 49 Wen.
The price is much cheaper than other restaurants outside, so it attracts many people to come and taste it.
And because it's winter, if you go to eat other alcoholic dishes, the hot dishes will be cold after a while, but hot pot is different, and when you eat hot pot, the people who eat it in the winter are very hot, so the business is getting better and better.
However, most people are not optimistic about the long-term development of this restaurant.
After all, everyone is not stupid, although this thing is delicious, but when summer comes, the temperature can heat people to death, and if you eat hot pot again, unless it is true love.
Especially Wang Dahu and Wang Bottle, after knowing that Wang Xiaoyu and his family opened a restaurant, they made a lot of money, and their jealous hearts were pumped, and they asserted several times behind their backs that when summer comes, the restaurant will definitely lose money.
Summer is finally here.
The business of the hot pot restaurant is indeed a lot lighter.
But it doesn't matter, the small fish hot pot restaurant in the city will send out leaflets again in a few days.
A new dish of grilled fish is here.
There are three types of grilled fish waiting for you to choose from, spicy grilled fish, fresh grilled fish, and original grilled fish.
The grilled fish selected are all from the people who went fishing in Wang Chong, and they were carefully selected to be large.
A whole plate of grilled fish is served, and you can also cut some vegetables, slices of meat, and meatballs into it as toppings.
All of a sudden, the business of Xiaoyu Hot Pot Restaurant skyrocketed again, and after a year, the business finally stabilized.
In order to improve the grade of the restaurant in people's minds, Wang Chong partitioned the place on the second floor and set it up as a private room, and specially invited a musician to come and play.
In the past two years, Wang recalculated, and in the past two years, he has earned six times more than the previous breeding industry!
It was also in this year that Guo Yueluo's belly finally got bigger.
Wang Chong has also changed from a hard-working young man Xiaoyuer who is well-known in the village to a smart and top-notch shopkeeper who is well-known in the city.
"Congratulations to the shopkeeper Wang, Mrs. Ling is happy." Lang Zhong took Guo Yueluo's pulse and said happily.
Wang Chong's face was calm, and there was no surprise, after all, he was out of body that night......
