Chapter 139: A Little Restaurant
As for the lack of tricks, what kind of tricks do you pick for the dock to carry the work! The first batch of men were very satisfied with the elimination of the radish and roast meat, and those who inquired were inevitably picky. "The shopkeeper is less than a penny, that's a piece of meat, this is minced meat."
"You'll come early tomorrow. Pickles are used for rice, and salt is eaten for a long time. โ

On the first day, she didn't get much willow branches, and according to the one she used to make Feng cakes, she only prepared a hundred copies, and all of them were sold out in one hour, and Xingrui was taken aback. I haven't seen anyone who only sells four dishes, and I haven't picked them yet, these dishes are inconspicuous, and they are really homely. But for those who work, a clean and large bowl of home-cooked food, as well as meat, is good enough.
Although the first day was off to a good start, the problem was still serious: there was a shortage of manpower. Especially a bunch of dishes and chopsticks to wash, to be honest, if you let Xingrui wash the dishes, it will inevitably make people aggrieved, Liu Zhi asked Mrs. Seven to borrow a kitchen mother-in-law, but it is not a long-term solution.
Xingrui urged her to go back to rest, but she didn't have a sip of water for half a day, and she really took the willow branch. Willow Branch was still thinking about how to improve it, and after a while, the mother-in-law came in and said that the dishes and chopsticks were all washed, and Willow Branch was surprised that it was so fast. Got up to look, a hundred bowls were clean and neatly stacked, she looked at it, confirmed that they were all qualified, and nodded: "Mom has worked hard." โ
Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar must be gathered, firewood must be calculated and prepared, eating is so trivial, and one does not pay attention to the cost and goes up. Today, Xiao Jia showed surprisingly hard work, so after selling out, I asked her to go back to rest, and she agreed. Although Xingrui was very dissatisfied: "He is more like a master than a lady." โ
"He came from my hometown with me, what if I don't take care of it, alas, it's not a big problem anyway."
One sheep is also put, two sheep are also put, the willow branch is called Xingrui also rests, she is ready to wash the radish by herself, and when she arrives in the back kitchen, she bumps into the small shrimp.
"Sister, me, I'm not stealing!" The little shrimp face and red ears pleaded.
Willow Branch already understands at a glance. A snail man. Xiao Shrimp whispered: "I, I just see my sister working so hard, I want to help my sister, I don't mean anything else." โ
Willow Branch squatted down and picked up the snow-white radish washed in the wooden barrel, white and chubby, very cute: "Little shrimp, you want to do things here with me, why don't you come directly?" I'm in need of manpower. โ
The little shrimp has a red face and a thick neck, and he is so embarrassed that he is about to cry, and he really can't say what his mother said. This Sister Liu is kind and generous, but more importantly, she treats the two of her as individuals, invites him to dinner that day, and asks him to sit together, this action shocks him, and then looks at the maid boy is eating at the same table, everyone talks and laughs, it can be seen that Sister Liu really has no distinction between high and low.
Liu Zhi listened to the reason for Xiao Shrimp, laughed and saddened for a while, and said softly: "Xiao Shrimp, I'll go tell your mother." โ
take advantage of the daylight to try to sew more clothes, but the poor can't afford to light lamp oil, even if they light that light, what can they do. Seeing Liu Zhi and his son coming over, he was first startled, then afraid, and stood up tremblingly: "Li... Mrs. Li, do you have something to do? My little shrimp didn't do anything. โ
Liu Zhi smiled: "Aunt Xu heard that she is Xiucai's daughter, is she literate?" โ
Xu Niangzi didn't know why, so she nodded blankly: "When I was at home, I barely knew a few words with my brother." โ
"Okay, Aunt Xu, take a look at this."
"This-" The looked at the willow branches in surprise.
Liu Zhi smiled: "This is my marriage book." My husband has gone to sea and will be back in the summer. โ
Even if the is illiterate, she can see that the marriage book has its own format, and there is no shortage of witness seals, but she showed her marriage book to others in such a spicy way - a trace of shame rose, and the's face was pale: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. โ
"Aunt Xu is thinking about the shrimp, this is the heart of a mother. I understand, so is Aunt Xu still willing to help now? I do need manpower, and Xiao Shrimp is not only capable, but also compatible with me, and I hope you two will help me. โ
It's obviously a job for others, but he says it so humbly. couldn't help but burst into tears: "I, I'm not so abrupt and a lady, and I still raise it like this, if I don't agree, I really don't know what to do." โ
"This shows that my aunt is a serious person, and I can rest assured." Willow Branch is also happy.
Before, she heard Xiao Shrimp say that the didn't know where the misunderstanding came from, and they thought that they were making an outer room for people, and they were afraid that Xiao Shrimp would not be allowed to approach her again. It's really laughing and crying. Although it was too angry to take out the marriage certificate, she didn't feel sour at that moment.
Brother Xiaochun thought about himself at the beginning, and he was willing to take him away only when Songning Mansion was done well. This thin piece of paper weighs more than a thousand pounds. If you love someone, you naturally have to try your best to maintain her and respect her.
With the little shrimp mother and son, the willow branch is really relieved, and the little shrimp is a top two. Selling 200 servings a day is also the limit of a small shop, otherwise people will be tired and sick, because the dishes are ready-made, and they are eaten very quickly, so the wheel is very fast, or they can be eaten casually by squatting on the side of the road a few times.
Willow Branch changed the pickle meat foam to konjac meat foam, and then added pickles to taste, the effect is even better, and it is even more popular than taro meat puree, directly chasing the popular king of the store - radish roast pork.
After five days of buying, I slowly got into the track, and with the charter, everyone was more relaxed. After the little shrimp mother and son came over, Liu Zhi returned the mother-in-law to Mrs. Seven, and Mrs. Seven also borrowed her two healthy servants to use the town, so as not to let those idle men see her a delicate little lady to find trouble, Liu Zhi invited the two eldest brothers to have a meal, and one stuffed the copper coin, and sent it back happily.
This restaurant is very well done, the main thing is to avoid the pain of frying, frying and cooking, and save firewood and fuel, but don't dare to underestimate these two, this is the big head in the kitchen. The willow branch carefully mixes the dishes, and changes the dishes every five or six days or so. For example, she was worried about the lack of willow branches, and now she keeps worrying about the business in the store, she used to sew and wash with the dock workers, so she naturally knew a lot of people, so she went to say "Our food shop, keep you full and delicious."
The business slowly accumulated, and it became lively, selling steadily about 120 or 30 copies a day, and occasionally selling out all 200 copies. After Liu Zhi settles every day, she takes half of the money home, and the rest is left in the store to be watched by Xiao Shrimp for expenses.
On the way home, Xiaojia wanted to talk and stopped. Willow Branch looked at him: "Just say what you have." โ
"Big girl, is it safe to ask Xiao Shrimp to watch the money?" Xiao Jia was quite unconvinced. I have followed the big girl since I was a child, isn't it more convincing than the little shrimp.
Liu Zhi looked at him: "I believe in Xiao Shrimp and Aunt Xu, don't say this kind of thing in the future." Xiao Jia flattened his mouth and remained silent. When he arrived at the Seventh Master's Mansion, Xiao Jia patted the door for a long time, and the porter yawned to open the door.
It is not a day or two to open a shop, and the porter can't help but complain every time he gets up from the warm quilt and opens the door. Willow Branch asked Xingrui to reward the porter, this porter is a little better, and the time to open the door after knocking the door is not so long. Liu Zhi sighed: "It's better to buy a house by yourself." โ
Willow Branch's shop has another advantage, that is, she is meticulous. This place is full of the cheapest ingredients, and no one gets tired of eating them, but she washes them cleanly, cuts them neatly, arranges them in a chic way, and cooks them properly, enough to stand out in this dark West Street, and for the same amount of money, who wouldn't want to enjoy the extra cleanliness and beautiful appearance.
For example, it is also pickles, because this area is full of middle- and lower-class people, and the rice shops are cut casually, with thick branches and leaves. And the willow branch will be carefully made, her pickles have been washed repeatedly, and she will not eat sand, and the taste is much more palatable, and she will not die salty. The pickled cabbage is cut as thin as a hair, and the hob of the radish is the same size as each piece, and when she comes out of the pot, she grabs a small handful of chives and mint leaves and sprinkles them, not to mention how pleasing to the eye.
