Chapter 26: Four Pieces of Frugality (3)
As the fire grows, the saucepan gurgles, and chunks of pork intestines and pork belly tumble up and down, tumbling out layer after layer of tangy aroma. Shen Yiyi didn't have to poke with chopsticks, just looked at it a few times, and knew that the time had come, and added the pre-cut pork liver and pig blood, these two ingredients are easy to cook and easy to age, and they can't be cooked at the same time as the pig's large intestine and pork belly.
Before the four pieces of frying were in the pot, Li Gui rushed over: "Miss Lin, the guests in front of you have smelled the fragrance, urging you to serve the food!" ”
After Li Gui finished speaking, his throat moved, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva first, and then blushed. He felt very ashamed, he followed Lao Litou, he had never tasted any delicious food, and today he actually swallowed saliva at a pot of crude fried four!
"It's already good early, serve it to the guests, what are you doing in a daze?" Shen Yiyi handed the food plate to Li Gui, and at the same time scooped up a spoonful of fried four pieces from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Ahh Li Gui refused in a panic, but his actions were more honest than his thoughts, and before he finished his vague sentence, four pieces of fried food had already been swallowed down his throat in one bite.
Oh my God, he actually ate four fried pieces in one bite! And it's the four most inferior pigs among the four fried ones! Hey, no, is this really a fried four-piece? He had heard others describe that the fried four pieces were fishy, smelly, fatty and greasy, but the food he had just swallowed was clearly fragrant and soft, soft and a little chewy...... Is there such a delicious fried four pieces in the world? Miss Lin didn't coax him, right? But he bought the ingredients himself, yes......
Li Gui was surprised and puzzled again, and looked at it again and again with a food plate.
Shen Yiyi knocked on the food plate he was holding and asked, "Are the four fried dishes I made delicious?" ”
Li Gui nodded without hesitation: "It's delicious." ”
"My cooking skills are our family's ancestral skills, and they are passed down from the outside world." Shen Yiyi pretended to be profound: "So when I'm cooking, don't let anyone into the kitchen, lest someone steal your skills." ”
Thinking about it carefully, she was not cautious enough to come forward to solicit customers just now, and she should try to show up as little as possible in the future to reduce the possibility of being found by the Shen family and Wu De.
Alas, such a cat is hiding, when is it a head, you have to quickly discuss a countermeasure with Little Pepper.
Li Gui listened to Shen Yiyi's words, and quickly agreed to her request: "Don't worry, our store has rules, and guests are not even allowed to enter the backyard, let alone the kitchen." ”
Lao Li Tou also has a lot of kitchen skills, and there are more taboos than Shen Yiyi, so Li Gui can understand it very well.
After Li Gui finished speaking, he took the food plate and sent the steaming fried four pieces into the front hall.
The aroma of the meat with a slight spiciness, quickly wafted in the front hall, and the three guests raised their heads in unison and sniffed their noses.
"Incense, incense, incense!" The guest who took the lead in ordering just now called out three words of "fragrant" in a row, "It's the first time I've smelled four fried pieces so fragrant, and this restaurant actually has two brushes." ”
Li Gui served them four fried pieces, and the three of them immediately buried their heads and ate it.
When they were eating, they didn't speak, but when they saw the way they were feasting, they knew that these three bowls of fried four pieces must be extremely delicious. Li Gui stood at the counter and watched, and couldn't help but swallow again.
The three guests swept away the four fried pieces in a blink of an eye, and even drank the soup cleanly.
"It's delicious! The four fried dishes in this shop are the best fried four pieces I have ever eaten in my life! ”
"Delicious, delicious! It's not fishy or smelly at all! ”
"It's a little spicy, and it's completely hot to eat, and it's comfortable!"
The low-level working people who carry the burden and wear straw sandals lack vocabulary, and they are all two words over and over again, "delicious". But their surprise was beyond words, so real and sincere. Li Gui stepped forward to collect the account, took the forty-five dollars with body temperature, and was so excited that he was about to cry - since the store opened, he has also done several businesses, but when he collected the money, he was all scolding Lao Li for having a lot of black cabbage in his heart, and it was the first time he had received a lot of praise like today.
Seeing off the guests, Li Gui held the forty-five copper coins and sent them to Shen Yiyi to see. Shen Yiyi grabbed a handful, feeling the real feel of the copper coin, and was even more excited than him - it is too easy for this foot shop to make money, and it is just around the corner to repay debts and save capital!
After she was excited, she was full of emotion - if she put dozens of copper coins in her eyes before, Xiao Pepper sold sad cold powder back, and she didn't bother to ask for that money. It's really this time, that time.
They all blamed the robbers who killed a thousand knives, and they actually robbed everything, leaving them with not a single copper plate.
Shen Yiyi returned the copper money to Li Gui and asked him to collect it, after all, she was just a wage earner, and no matter how much money she earned, she would not keep it.
Li Gui took the money and went back to the front hall. Shen Yiyi squatted at the kitchen door hopefully, waiting for the arrival of the next guest, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't hear any movement. She ran to the door leading to the front hall in the backyard, and asked Li Gui suspiciously through the curtain, "No guests coming?" ”
Li Gui shook his head, with some embarrassment: "Our store has a 'reputation', and the locals refuse to come, so those countrymen who enter the city don't know the details and accidentally bump in." ”
I see, but this problem is easy to solve. Shen Yiyi came out from behind the curtain and pointed at Li Gui: "You, go out to solicit guests, and tell them that today we will try new dishes in our store, and all the dishes will be sold at a reduced price." As for the dishes, you can report them according to the fried four pieces or something. ”
Li Gui opened his mouth into an "O" shape, his eyes were round and he didn't speak.
This kid! Can't even shout when you open a store, or do you have your own pride and persistence like Lao Li Tou, and refuse to shout for coarse food? Shen Yiyi couldn't help him: "Then that's it, anyway, the store is not mine." ”
She turned around and lifted the curtain and walked back, Li Gui seemed to come back to her senses: "I'll go, I'll go!" ”
Figured it out? Shen Yiyi gave him a thumbs up and went back to the kitchen to wait for the good news.
I have to say that the geographical location of this store is too good, Li Gui stood in front of the north gate and shouted a few times, attracting many customers, and after a while, the store was actually full!
With such unique conditions, it is really rare for Lao Li Tou to be able to do business like this.
The full house of customers gave Shen Yiyi great enthusiasm and motivation, she drove the horsepower to full capacity, spun up like a spinning top, and did not stop around the stove.
Since Lao Li Tou opened a foot shop, Li Guihe has seen such a hot scene, so busy that his forehead is sweating and his spirits are excited.
Thanks to the simple and rough dishes of the contemporary low-level people, the cooking methods are almost only steaming and boiling, setting up a steamer, making more than ten breakfasts at a time is no problem, and a row of stoves can supply a small half of the storefront. Therefore, after a busy work, Shen Yiyi finally drove out all the early, and none of the guests left because they couldn't wait.
When the sun rises in the treetops, the guests are becoming scarce, and those who should hurry are hurrying, and those who should be working are gone. Shen Yiyi was almost tired and paralyzed, but her mood was very energetic. Li Gui is similar to her, obviously her legs are so sore that she is trembling, but she has to insist on finishing the account.
"Four hundred and ninety-five texts!" After Li Gui finished calculating the accounts, he checked it three more times, ran into the kitchen excitedly, and shouted at Shen Yiyi: "Miss Lin, we earned a total of 495 wen in the morning!" ”
I earned four hundred and ninety-five wen in one morning, and the income from lunch and dinner was even greater, so at the end of the day, I had to have at least two taels of silver!
Two taels of silver! Li Gui was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he left behind all the coarse food and what coarse people could eat.
Shen Yiyi glanced at him, thinking about how much she could get according to one out of ten, and hoped that Lao Li Tou would not regret it.
When her father was still alive, he once told her that as long as there was a craft, she would not starve to death anywhere. This is her own father, and he will not deceive her.
At this time, it was still early before noon, a little free, and he was in a good mood, so Shen Yiyi chatted with Li Gui: "Agui, have you been to other foot shops for dinner?" ”
