Chapter 356: Your Guest Arrives
Needless to say, the lame king, who had a good face, returned home and beat the fat woman fiercely. When there was a long queue waiting to be tasted in front of Yu Ji's braised vegetable shop, she limped over to get a good braised elbow.
The fat woman drooped her triangular eyes, squeezed to the front, picked up the toothpick silently, and ate the varieties she tried one by one. There are people in the back who don't understand the situation and are not happy: "Queue, queue!" Everyone is waiting, how can you cut the line!! ”
"Line up your! The old lady has just lined up to weigh the meat, and she didn't bring enough money to go home to get the money!! What are you talking about? Hurry up and die?! "Leaving the eyes of the lame king, this fat woman has reverted to her arrogant and unreasonable appearance.
The person who was scolded by her was not a coward: "Who is the mourning?" Just your mouth, as if you have been slapped with broken soles, Wang Cripple married you, and he has been moldy for eight lifetimes, and his good popularity for several lifetimes has been lost by you! What meat do you buy without money, without money? I think you just don't clean up!! What about the lame king? Your mother-in-law still doesn't care about it? The old lady on my hospital bed, if there are three long and two short, it is your fat woman's curse, see if I don't carry people to your house!! ”
At the mention of the lame king, the fat woman crunched silently, she took the incense elbow handed by Xiaocao, and ran home in a gloomy manner.
Most of the people who came to participate in the tasting event were more obedient to the rules of the event, and after tasting the taste, they were attracted by the taste of the dishes in the braised vegetable shop. In addition, today is half price, and many braised vegetables have not received the money for raw materials! Most of the people who taste it will more or less buy some braised vegetables and go back. If you have difficulties at home, you will also weigh some braised tofu and kelp. Dried tofu and kelp are made with old marinated pork, with a strong meat flavor, and the price is cheap, buy some for children to satisfy their cravings.
Of course, there are also those who want to take advantage of it and queue up with their families, just to taste a bite of meat dishes. For such people, the Yu family did not discriminate, warmly greeted them to taste, and listened carefully to their opinions, which made these people not very embarrassed. I have to say that most of the people in this era are simple and lovely.
By noon, the tasting was over. Many people who rushed from the west or south of the city after hearing the news say how good the braised vegetables tasted, regretted that their intestines were green, and hated themselves when they began to hear the news, why didn't they take it seriously and missed the opportunity to eat white food. A lot of people went up and asked, is there a chance to taste it for free tomorrow?
In the morning, I tasted two roast chickens, two roast ducks, two salted ducks, and four large smoked sausages...... There is also a braised pork of half-pulled pig. Yu Caifeng was so distressed that she stomped her feet again and again, and counted her little niece as a loser. How much does this cost, dozens of taels of silver were given away in vain!
Fortunately, much more braised vegetables are sold today than those that are given away for free. Although they are all sold at about the price of the capital, the pigs are home-raised, and the cost is saved a lot. Roughly calculated, there is still a slight surplus.
The next day, it was the official opening day. Yu Xiaocao asked his younger brother to write a new leaflet overnight, using eye-catching big characters to write: Big reward for opening, half price dishes within three days!
This time, even the younger brother didn't understand. On the first day, the gimmick of free tasting was to attract popularity to the new store. The first day of the event was very popular, so why sell it at half price for three days? How much money do you have to make in these three days?
Yu Xiaocao met everyone's disapproving gaze and explained with a smile: "Our free tasting effect is indeed remarkable. But how big is Fucheng, in the morning, most of the people who tasted the taste of our braised vegetables were people from the neighborhood. As you can see, the people who came from the west and south of the city behind them were just watching from the sidelines. Running a three-day, half-price event is a great way to attract guests more widely. I firmly believe that as long as you have eaten our braised vegetables, you can become a supporter and repeat customer of our braised vegetables! ”
After taking a breath, Yu Xiaocao continued: "The chickens, ducks and geese in our store are all sold in limited quantities, and the price is not low, which can cover the cost. The larger sales volume is braised meat and bacon, and the raw materials are home-raised pigs. You see, I tasted nearly half of the pigs for free today, and there is still a surplus. Trust me, even if we sell at half price, we can still make a profit! ”
Yu Caifeng, who had the strongest opposition, sighed and said loosely after listening to her analysis: "As long as you don't lose money, you can toss as much as you want!" By the way, let's open tomorrow, do you want to prepare a table of wine and food? ”
Liu Hu and Yu Hai also set their sights on Yu Xiaocao. Speaking of business, the family is honest, and it doesn't add up to Yu Xiaocao's ability, a twelve-year-old female doll has become the backbone of the family.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "Everyone has worked hard to prepare for the opening in the past few days. Tomorrow at noon, let's set a table for a banquet in Zhenyulou to celebrate the opening of Yu Ji Braised Vegetable Shop! ”
Yu Caifeng, who is used to saving, has another opinion: "Zhenyulou? How much does that table cost? We are in the food business, there are roast ducks, roast chickens, and all kinds of braised pork and bacon, what are you doing with all that unjust money? Besides, there is no one else, just come out with a whole table of food in the backyard to celebrate! ”
The family thinks that there are few people they know in Fucheng, and they will put firecrackers and unveil the red cloth on the plaque to take a form, and they have vegetables at home, so it doesn't take much to eat in the backyard! Yu Xiaocao saw that everyone agreed with the aunt's meaning, and she didn't insist anymore.
Early the next morning, before the braised vegetable shop opened, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Opening the door, King Yangjun, who had a black face, walked in angrily, and when he saw Yu Xiaocao, he reprimanded her with a face: "Don't say a word about such a big thing as the opening, do you still have a master in your eyes?" If you don't have something to do in Fucheng, you will come by the way to take a look, I don't know that your store is open today! ”
Yu Xiaocao accompanied the smiling face, and smiled dryly: "Aren't I afraid that you, a busy man, will not have time, Xiaojun Wang?" You must know that you have come to Fucheng recently, and you have to pester you to promise to come down and unveil the plaque to us! Not to mention the entire city, even when you arrive in the capital, you can let the little county king help unveil the plaque, what a great honor it is, others can't think of it! ”
"Humph! Unveiling the plaque? You're beautiful!! I don't notify you of the opening, and I want you to unveil the plaque for you, dreaming! The arrogance of the little county king came up again, his head tilted to the side, but the enchanting phoenix eyes secretly paid attention to Yu Xiaocao's movements. There are a few big words written clearly on the whole body: Ask for the master, come and ask for the master!
Manager Liu held back a smile and nodded solemnly: "Our lord, I have never given face to anyone and unveiled a plaque for his shop." Even the princess's dowry shop, he just went over and showed his face and came back......"
"Hey, then I can pick up the treasure, the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty, so that the big red man in front of the emperor, the king of Yangjun, can unveil the plaque of our little braised vegetable shop, the supreme glory!!" Yu Xiaocao circled around this master very doggedly.
Zhu Junyang picked up Qiao: "When did the master promise to help you unveil the plaque?" Less self-inflicted and more amorous! ”
"Hey, hey! Xiaojun Wang, I still hate that I didn't notify you of the opening of the small one! You have a lot of adults, don't be like small ones! After a few busy days, the little one will make a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall to honor you! Yu Xiaocao saw that the clothes of the little county king were wet with dew, and knew that he had come overnight after getting the news, and was very moved. After she sat down in Xiaojunwang, she hurriedly presented a cup of spirit stone water to relieve fatigue, and helped him pinch his shoulders and beat his arms, like a little follower.
Hearing the name of "Buddha jumping over the wall", Zhu Junyang was very interested, shook off Yu Xiaocao's flattering massage, and said: "Men and women don't kiss, keep a little distance!" Tell me, what is Buddha jumping over the wall, why haven't I heard you say it before? ”
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in her heart, she was really a potential foodie, she was such a little beauty on the side, he didn't care at all, but he only thought about his appetite, alas...... Xiaojun Wang, you are so unenlightened, the princess must be heartbroken for your life's events......
"'The incense of the meat floats around, and the Buddha abandons Zen and jumps over the wall.'" Even the Buddha couldn't resist the temptation, you say the taste can be worse? However, I haven't made this dish, so I have to think about it for a while...... "Yu Xiaocao studied the practice of home-cooked Buddha jumping over the wall according to Du Niang in his previous life, and I don't know if I can make it."
"Xiaocao, the big shopkeeper of Zhenyulou came to congratulate!" Yu Hai didn't expect that in addition to the prince of the county, there were people who came to congratulate, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet the big shopkeeper.
The big shopkeeper smiled and said: "With the relationship between our two families, if you don't inform us of the opening, it's really unreasonable, Brother Yu!" ”
Yu Hai smiled honestly and said, "It's just a small shop, and no one plans to notify it, so I celebrate it with my family......."
The big shopkeeper said disapprovingly: "Our three young people are in the capital and can't come back." My subordinate came to congratulate him on his behalf, don't blame it! ”
"Look at what you say!" Yu Xiaocao got the little county king done, came over to show his face, and said with a smile, "Uncle shopkeeper, you are now the head of the Zhenyu Building, and many nobles in Beijing want to take a look at you, you can come, our braised vegetable shop is really brilliant!" Hurry inside, please, little stone, make the good tea I bought a few days ago to the shopkeeper! ”
Xiao Shi agreed, invited the big shopkeeper to the backyard, and served good tea and snacks. After a while, Xiaoshi's classmates Sun Runze and Liu Jinye also brought their father to celebrate.
One of them is the master of the prefect's yamen, and the other is the owner of the largest silk shop in Fucheng, and he can be regarded as having some status in Fucheng. Little Stone hurriedly invited people in. When the two of them saw the big shopkeeper of Zhenyulou, they were slightly shocked in their hearts, it seemed that the Yu family still had a little thin face in front of the Zhou family.
Then, what made the two even more shocked was that the prefect also deigned to come to congratulate him in person. The prefect came over after receiving the news of the arrival of the king of Yangjun. For the opening of the Yu family's small braised vegetable shop, the king of Yangjun came quickly overnight, which shows that he is not ordinary to the Yu family. It is said that the prince of the county is in the court, and he also opened his mouth to ask for a reward for the Yu family!
