Before three o'clock in the morning on August 26, Zhao Laosi and Wu Julan got up quietly.

They first kneaded the dough and rolled out the dumpling skins, and then hurried to the butcher's house to buy meat.

Now that the weather is still hot, they are afraid that the meat will not be fresh enough, so they have agreed with the proprietress of the butcher stall to borrow their refrigerator to keep it fresh.

Now I came back with more than ten catties of meat that I had specially left behind and began to chop the stuffing.

Wu Julan took out the pig's head, which was still a little warm in the cauldron, and picked up the bones in the pig's head.

At this time, the three sisters who were still sleeping upstairs were also woken up by the sound of chopping stuffing.

Xiao Fang immediately got up and got dressed, ready to go down to help.

Yanyan rolled over and continued to sleep.

Xiao Hong yawned, picked up the small alarm clock on the desk next to him, and when he saw that it was only five o'clock, he continued to sleep.

It's a pity that her sleep is not as good as Yanyan's, and she can't sleep when she listens to the sound of chopping stuffing.

She pondered in her heart: "I miscalculated, I should chop it and then put it in the refrigerator of Sister Pan's house, or go buy a meat grinder and come back." ”

Otherwise, every morning there is this knocking sound of chopping meat, and I won't be able to sleep lazily in the future.

She could only get up, go downstairs to freshen up, and when she saw Xiao Fang rolling her skin again, she began to go to the briquette stove, first use tongs to remove the sealing ring of the briquette stove, and then open the lid to see the braised chicken inside.

The seasoning of braised chicken and braised pork is not the same.

Now she doesn't know if there is a chicken farm, and the chickens are not fresh enough to make fried chickens or anything.

She prepared the most simple and convenient braised chicken.

After chopping the seasoning, wrap it in gauze, and then stuff the green onion and garlic into the chicken belly, continue to add various seasonings, and you can directly put it in the steel pot and cook it slowly.

After the briquette stove was sealed, the fire was small, and it was stewed at ten o'clock last night, and it was simmered slowly after this night's low heat... She tore a chicken wing and tasted it, and it tasted good.

She thinks she could cook it later in the evening so that the chicken will be more chewy.

This steel pot is the largest one, and now there is more than half a pot of marinade and four braised chickens in it, and she can't hold it alone, so Zhao Laosi came over to serve it.

Lift the lid and the smell is tangy.

Zhao Laosi couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant, can you continue to use these marinades at night?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Hong put all the braised chickens in a clean basin and looked at the wall clock: "It's almost six o'clock, let's hang up the firecrackers first, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Laosi was also nervous, and he was so panicked that he couldn't even finish where to put his things: "Lan Lan, do you know where I put the firecrackers?" ”

"I don't know!" Wu Julan was more nervous than him.

The family borrowed money to buy a house, and now it is about to open again, and if the business is not good, then the borrowed money will not be repaid.

She was very uneasy, and she squinted in a daze for a while last night, and she didn't rest well at all.

Xiao Hong saw that his stepfather was in a hurry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he picked up two large strings of firecrackers from the stool with a smile: "It's right here?" ”

After the crackling firecrackers, someone from the neighborhood came over for breakfast.

From the moment they started moving, there were people who opened the shop to ask what they did.

When they found out that they were running a food restaurant, the big guys were very happy, and they all felt that there was one less person to steal business.

Moreover, those who can open a store at this time are full of people who will not be short of money in their pockets.

As long as it tastes good, the price is not unaffordable.

Whether it's dumplings, wontons, or lo-mei, even if you know how to make it yourself, it takes time and energy, and now that they have come to open the store, of course the shop owners are very happy.

"Boss Zhao, the opening is good and the business is prosperous!" Boss Huang, who was selling hardware on the side, came in and said auspicious words with a smile on his face.

This can be regarded as a good start, Zhao Laosi thanked excitedly, and he couldn't wait to give people a free order: "Thank you for your support, please come inside." ”

Boss Huang looked at the menu written on the red paper on the wall, and said very generously: "Bring us two bowls of dumplings and half a catty of pig's head meat." ”

"Okay! You sit down first. Wu Julan asked Xiao Fang to send them tea eggs, and she hurriedly made dumplings.

Xiao Fang gave them four tea eggs: "Uncle, aunt, thank you for your support, please taste it." ”

No one will not like the tea eggs that are given away for free.

Aunt Huang also smiled: "Then we're welcome." ”

Xiao Hong just cut half a catty of pig's head meat and sent it up, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, you eat slowly." ”

She also admired them very much, she wanted to eat pig's head meat early in the morning, and seeing that the couple were also chubby, she wanted to persuade them to eat less fatty meat.

Nowadays, most people are thin, and it is rare to see such a fat person, and they rarely have a sense of health care, and they do not know the harm of high blood pressure and high blood lipids.

The big guy feels blessed to be fat.

After that, people came one after another, and Xiao Fang mainly served dumplings and cleaned up the table.

Yanyan is also very diligent in washing dishes and lighting the fire by the way.

Xiao Hong mainly collects money, and then sends tea eggs to the guests who come with flyers.

Zhao Laosi mainly sells braised meat and braised chicken.

Wu Julan is the main force of roasted dumplings and wontons.

From six o'clock when it opened, until half past eight, there were no customers in the small shop.

Wu Julan took the lead to see the lo-mei sold in front of the house, and when she saw that the basins were empty, she couldn't hide her surprise: "It's really all sold out?" ”

You know, in the past, when I came to the town to sell, I only cleaned up a pig's head and added some pig's trotters.

But now they thought that there was a storefront, but they prepared two pig's heads, ten pig's trotters, and four braised chickens, but now the pots are empty.

They were worried that the newly opened store would not have many customers, and the business would not be good.

"Yes, it's all sold out!" Zhao Laosi's eyes narrowed when he was smiling: "While there is no one, let's count the income this morning." ”

After speaking, he opened the drawer, and it was full of money of different denominations.

A family of five gathered around a drawer with money and began to count the money.

"I've got twenty dollars." Yanyan counted the whole number very cleverly.

Xiao Fang put the neatly folded money on the table: "I have twenty-five yuan here." ”

Xiao Hong took the opportunity to put the money of the three together: "I have thirty yuan here." ”

Wu Julan really hadn't seen so much money at once, her hand in sorting out the money was a little shaky, she gave the money to Xiao Fang, and said nervously: "I can't remember, you count it again, see if it's more than twenty yuan?" ”

Zhao Laosi also handed over the money in his hand to Xiao Hong: "I have twenty-six yuan and two dimes." ”

Even the one cent and two cents in the drawer are all added up, and the total is one hundred, three picks, two yuan, and three corners.

Xiao Hong took out the account book and began to calculate the accounts: "The cost of meat is fourteen yuan and six jiao, the pig's head and pig's feet cost forty-three yuan and two jiao, and the four chickens are seventeen yuan and eight jiao, a total of seventy-five yuan and six jiao." ”

"In addition to the ten dollars that we went to find change, that is to say, we earned forty-six dollars and four corners this morning."

When Wu Julan heard that she could earn so much, she fainted with joy, pinching her apron nervously with both hands, afraid that Xiao Hong had miscalculated, so she said more: "Is there really so much?" Do you count it twice? ”
