Chapter Ninety-Seven: Opening After the Festival
The three of them walked around the street and sold some gadgets, Shen Shu sold a handkerchief to Hong Xiuhua, and Shen Shimei was stunned when he looked at the handkerchief, so he said, "If my brother buys you one too, don't be greedy here!" ”
"Who's greedy!" Shen Shiliu pouted and left angrily, she saw the handkerchief and thought of the handkerchief she embroidered for Du Xuanmo and the purse, and she didn't know if Du Xuanmo carried it with her every day.
Shen Shiliu passed by a stall selling cloth, and when she was about to go out, her mother said that she would buy cloth and come back to make clothes, and by the way, she also picked out Hong Xiuhua's cloth.
"Sister-in-law, it's time to pick up fabric!" Shen Shiliu said that the boss Huang who sells cloth is the one she sold last time, and there are not many businesses in small places, even if it is a few that sell cloth over and over again, she prefers to go to a familiar store.
Boss Huang saw that Shen Pomegranate was coming again, so he said, "Pomegranate is going to buy a handkerchief this time?" ”
Shen Shiliu shook his head and smiled: "No, this time I came with my sister-in-law to buy new cloth to make clothes, and the boss has to pick a good one for me, and the price has to be cheap!" ”
As soon as Boss Huang heard that he was coming with his sister-in-law, he said, "Oh, your family really has a big happy event this New Year, marrying a daughter-in-law?" ”
"Yes, the banquet held in the countryside is not known to people in the county, but I will know it later, so it will be cheaper to buy things later!" Shen Shiliu said, a small mouth can speak.
Boss Huang smiled: "Okay, good, pomegranate is good at business, last time my brother-in-law sold your family's vegetables can be regarded as a relief, I must give good cloth to your family to buy cloth!" "Last time, a cart of vegetables at my brother-in-law's house was mistaken halfway because the wheels were broken, and if the vegetables could not be sold, they would wilt in two days, but the boundary of the car was good, just at the door of the Shen family's restaurant, Shen Pomegranate was just about to go out in the morning to buy vegetables, and he just took a car to see the situation.
"With a lot of effort, who is not buying!" Shen Shiliu said, and the price of the food was cheap last time, so it was not a loss for her to receive a car.
Boss Huang said that he picked cloth for Shen Pomegranate, and the price of cloth was also very close to the people, even Hong Xiuhua was surprised that Shen Pomegranate could buy cloth so cheaply!
The two sisters-in-law walked back with the fabric, and they had a lot of fun today.
When I got home, Shen Pomegranate sat paralyzed, lazy for several days, my body was stiff, and I had to be even busier when I officially opened tomorrow, and I had to go to bed early today.
Zheng took some clothes patterns for Shen Pomegranate and Hong Xiuhua to choose, Hong Xiuhua was embarrassed to let her mother-in-law sew, so she picked out a pattern and took it back to sew it herself. Shen Shiliu looked around, and finally said, "This style is too old!" ”
"Old? Granny Liu said that this is the most fashionable style recently! After Zheng finished speaking, Shen Pomegranate was happy.
"Mother, how old is Granny Liu, where can she be in fashion?" After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he picked up the fabric and said to Zheng: "I can figure out the style myself." ”
Shen Shiliu went back to the room, thinking that it was only the first month, although the fabric was not too thick, but it would be mid-February at the earliest, and the weather would be warmer at that time.
Thinking back to the dazzling clothes in modern costume dramas, Shen Shiliu shook her head, what she bought was a fast water blue cloth, and there were no bells and whistles, but some elements could still be used for reference.
I drew a sketch on the paper twice, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
I found a yellow paper to draw a paper pattern, and it took a night to draw it all, and seeing that it was already dark, Shen Pomegranate hurriedly fell asleep.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone who does business has to let go, and announce to the neighbors that the store has reopened. Shen Pomegranate also set off a hexagram firecracker early in the morning, and the broken red paper at the door, Shen Pomegranate didn't let it be swept, so it was good to put it on.
"Pomegranate!" Someone shouted at the corner of the street, and as soon as Shen Shiliu turned his head, he saw that it was Zheng Erzhu coming!
"Brother Erzhu!" Shen Shiliu waved his hand, and told his uncle's family that Zheng Erzhu would come on the sixteenth day of the first month.
Zheng Erzhu came happily, there were not many people in the county in the morning, but because of the opening of every house, it seemed a lot more lively.
"Brother Erzhu, why did you come so early?" Shen Shiliu said that Shangyang Village has to walk for a long time to come to the county seat, and she usually has to go grocery shopping at this time, and she doesn't know how early Zheng Erzhu has to leave home!
Zheng Erzhu said with a smile: "Daddy said, let me come not to mess around, I don't dare to be lazy!" ”
Shen Shimei was very satisfied with the attitude of the second cousin, and led it in first.
"I'll find you a house first, and then I'll live here steadily!" Shen Shiliu led Zheng Erzhu into the backyard as he spoke, and the Shen family husband and wife also came out to greet Zheng Erzhu when they saw him coming.
Shen Shiliu pointed to a room next to Hong Yi's residence, and said, "Second brother, you will live first, this is my sister-in-law's maiden brother, and he is also here to help, and you two will know each other in the future!" ”
Hong Yi said with a smile: "My big name is Hong Yi, my little name is Shuangmu, you can do whatever you want!" ”
"Then I'll call you Brother Shuangmu, my nickname is Erzhu, my name is Zheng Hong, you can call it whatever you want!" Zheng Erzhu said.
Shen Shiliu was unexpected, she always thought that her two cousins were going to have two big pillars, and it turned out that they also had big names.
Zheng's time was not early, so he said, "Put down the things first, take a breath!" ”
Shen Shiliu also hurriedly went out with Hong Yi and the two to buy vegetables, Zheng Erzhu also wanted to follow, so Shen Shiliu said: "Don't worry, you can rest for a while, you will do it tomorrow!" Then he went out.
Hong Yi knew early on that he wanted a helper, and he also had some ideas in his heart, thinking that he was a brother-in-law, but Zheng Hong was someone's own nephew, and he was worried that he would not get along, but now he sees that Zheng Hong is a cheerful and talkative person, and he has the same temper as himself, so he is relieved.
"Brother Shuangmu, you will take more care of my Erzhu brother in the future, and I will have to take one of you with me when I open a branch in the future, and you can teach him more." Shen Shiliu said directly in front, in the future, she pondered that these two people should be cultivated according to a standard, but there would be no conflict between the two stores, and she was afraid that Hong Yi would think too much, and she felt awkward.
Hong Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, this brother is refreshing, I like it a lot, I will definitely teach him more!" Shen Shiliu's words also made him dispel his worries, and without his worries, he would have nothing to worry about.
The business of the restaurant is still hot, and there are still many rich people in the small county.
"Brother, the beauty meal in Liu's Mansion has been set again, you can record it in the account, and the days will also be written." Shen Pomegranate has almost prepared in the morning, and everything that should be talked about has been discussed, and the peak period of eating at noon is coming soon.
"Done!" After Shen Shu finished speaking, he put down his pen, and then said to Zheng Erzhu: "Erzhu, you paste this new menu, there is beef today, and it is estimated that you can attract a lot of customers!" ”
Shen Shiliu looked at the cut beef in the back kitchen, thinking that those people on TV used to ask the store to cut two catties of beef or something at every turn, but it was actually impossible at all.
The cow is not allowed to be eaten casually in this place, and she can only buy this beef because the leg of the cow of a farmer is broken, and the yamen came to confirm it, so she dared to sell it.
"Sister Xiuhua, if someone orders food in a while, I'll teach you how to dry the pot beef!" Shen Shiliu said that now the teaching of the two of them is practiced on the stove, anyway, they definitely can't order food once a day, and they can learn how to watch it twice more.
Hong Xiuhua agreed, and then said: "It is said that this craft is passed on to men but not to women, and our family will be on the stove for the two women." ”
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Women still have to have their own two brushes, and in the future, you don't care if you give birth to a daughter or a son, you can teach everything, as the saying goes, if you can cook, you can't afford to be hungry for your father, you can't lose!" ”
Hong Xiuhua nodded, now she admires Shen Pomegranate more and more!
The outside lists were sent to the back kitchen one by one, and Shen Shiliu and Hong Xiuhua were busy. Shen Shuji menu in the lobby, Hong Yi and Zheng Erzhu ran in front of the hall, and the Shen family and his wife did chores, and when there were not enough dishes, they chose to wash the vegetables, and a large group of people supported all the work of this restaurant!
"The beef must be marinated in cooking wine and salty soy sauce first, put oil in the pot, and then put the beef in it and fry it, almost put it out first, and then put all the ginger, garlic and dried chili peppers into it, cut the green onions into sections, and then give a knife in the middle, and throw these green peppers back into the pot with the side dishes or something, and then put the meat back, and finally put some chili red oil, and then it will be out of the pot!" Shen Pomegranate taught Hong Xiuhua after stir-frying a dish for a while.
Hong Xiuhua also watched it seriously on the side, and basically wrote it down on one side.
"Serve!" Shen Shiliu shouted, with a smile on his face, although he was tired, but what a beautiful life this is!
After that, Shen Pomegranate fried another plate, Hong Xiuhua felt that the heat and seasoning were almost mastered, Shen Pomegranate let Hong Xiuhua fry, and the fried Shen Pomegranate also tasted it, and made sure that the taste was not too different, so she asked Hong Xiuhua to fry the dishes after that.
At noon, everyone was busy, and Zheng Erzhu was also frightened, he didn't expect business to be so prosperous!
"I'll go to the bookkeeping first...... Shen Shu is so tired that he has to die, but he still has to do what he should do, and Shen Shimei will have to find a bookkeeper to open a branch in the future.
After being busy and tired, everyone sat around a table to eat, Zheng Erzhu felt that eating after labor was really fragrant, not to mention that the food here was much stronger than at home, and he ate three bowls of rice in one go.
"Am I eating a little too much?" Zheng Erzhu smiled embarrassedly.
Zheng smiled: "Eat with an open belly, and only when you are full can you have the strength to work!" As he spoke, he added more food to everyone.
After Shen Shiliu had eaten, he took out the paper pattern of his clothes and gave it to Zheng: "Mother, I've worked hard for you these days!" ”
"Okay, my mother will sew out this dress for you when she is free!" Zheng also feels sorry for the child, and she has little work to be idle all day long, and she is also worried about letting Shen Shimei rest for a while when she is a little free.
Zheng took a look at the pattern, and there was a question mark in his head: "Pomegranate, why haven't I seen the appearance of this dress before?" ”
"I'm original! Always working in the kitchen, just be concise! Shen Shiliu said with a smile, her clothes are probably the first one!
