Chapter 159 Opening

"Okay, Captain Wu is generous. I have no problem with it." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, feeling quite satisfied with the way Captain Wu handled the matter.

Although she now has Xiaozhi and does not need to check the circuits of the whole house, it is difficult to say such things. After all, what she said just now was that she felt sparks coming out of the socket when using the disinfection cabinet.

Besides, checking it again is an extra layer of insurance, which is a good thing.

"But the person who checks the circuit..." Zhao Xiaojing said hesitantly.

"I understand, I understand. I won't arrange the same technician to check the circuit. Don't worry." Captain Wu said hurriedly.

"It's not that we have any problem with that master, it's just that the circuit was made by their own family, and we're afraid to find fault with it openly." Su Yuchen ran over to explain after hearing this.

"I know, I know. He's actually quite good at his job. He worked with my dad for 10 to 20 years. He lays the lines beautifully and quickly, and his skills are impeccable." Captain Wu shook his head and sighed. "He's just lost his mind now, constantly taking the blame for his nephew, who can't teach him. He's old and childless, and he expects his nephew to provide for him in his old age! How is that even possible?"

Oh, there's really nothing I can do. I'll have to talk to him about it when I get back."

Captain Wu looked like he was in a lawsuit. Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen didn't know what to say. They agreed to send someone to check the circuit early the next morning, and Captain Wu left in a hurry.

It was already nine o'clock, and the two hurried into the kitchen. Su Yuchen used the rice steamer to steam rice, while Zhao Xiaojing was cutting vegetables and preparing food.

Wen Jin ordered 33 meals, which happened to be three of the 11 types of rice topped with toppings in Zhao Xiaojing's store.

The pork trotter rice that the students ordered has also been notified in the group that the new store has opened and will switch from online to offline business again. Special discounts are given to students in the group. In addition to the opening activities, students who come to the store to dine with historical orders in the group will receive two extra chicken wings.

Zhao Xiaojing had calculated the 11 varieties of rice topped with gravy in advance. When the restaurant first opened, there were only her and Su Yuchen, and preparing too many dishes would lead to waste and they would be too busy to handle it.

Although the copycat machine made from the system's quick module can help with most food preparation tasks, fine-grained slicing and dicing can only be done by the system's real quick module, but she can't use it in front of others.

Zhao Xiaojing resigned herself to her fate and cut 20 kilograms of beef into pieces, blanched it and stir-fried it until fragrant, then added enough water and simmered it on low heat.

Then prepare the chicken pieces according to the same method, add mushrooms and simmer slowly on another stove.

Although there are 11 types of rice bowls, not all require on-site cooking. For example, dishes like the braised chicken with potatoes, beef brisket, and mushrooms are stewed in advance and then reduced to a sauce when lunchtime arrives. When someone orders, they can simply scoop a spoonful out and top it over the rice. This is fresh, time-saving, and the stewing time is just right.

The pig's feet on the side were also braised last night. They will be put back into the pot for 20 minutes at noon. When someone orders them, just take them out and cut them.

Su Yuchen has already prepared all the dishes that can be prepared by machine, and is now blanching the tofu to remove the bean smell according to Zhao Xiaojing's instructions.

Zhao Xiaojing continued to slice the chicken gizzards and pork liver into thin slices, shred the lean meat, dice the chicken, and cut the potatoes and eggplant into dice.

After Su Yuchen blanched the tofu, she used the method she learned from Zhao Xiaojing to fry peanuts in cold oil, stirring and shaking the mixture constantly.

Zhao Xiaojing then coated the diced chicken with flour and mixed it with a little seasoning, and coated the eggplant with starch and set aside.

Then continue to heat up the oil pan that Su Yuchen used to fry the peanuts, and lightly fry the eggplant, beans, and potatoes, then set them aside.

Finally, cut a large basket of shredded potatoes and soak them in a large steel basin.

At eleven o'clock, they both finished preparing the food. Su Yuchen went to sit in the front hall and wait to entertain the guests, while Zhao Xiaojing stayed in the kitchen to prepare the 33 meals ordered by Wen Jinding.

The beef brisket was almost done, so Zhao Xiaojing poured the 30 kilograms of potatoes that Su Yuchen had chopped with a machine into the pot. She had already added enough water, so the potatoes were just submerged. Zhao Xiaojing adjusted the seasoning slightly, then covered the pot and continued to simmer.

The stew pot was also heated up.

Next are Mapo Tofu, Three Fresh Vegetables, and Kung Pao Chicken. After frying these dishes one by one, add water and put them on the stove to collect the sauce.

Then add chopped green pepper and egg. Coat the chopped green pepper with egg liquid and fry in a pan over medium heat.

After frying, stir-fry the spicy and sour chicken offal, shredded pork with grandma's vegetables, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried pork liver.

Finally, take out the pig's trotter and cut it into three pieces. Turn off the heat and put the potato beef brisket and mushroom braised chicken after the sauce has been reduced. Put all the dishes in three servings. Then take out the chicken feet, chicken wings, dried tofu, braised eggs, lotus root, potatoes, kelp and other snacks from the pig's trotter rice soup pot, put a little of each into three full boxes and send them with the order. Wen Jin's 33 orders were solved.

Zhao Xiaojing packed up all the food and was about to contact Wen Jin to ask when the errand boy would arrive when Su Yuchen poked his head in the doorway. "Jingzi, the three guys from Uncle Wen's place are here, asking when dinner will be ready."

"It's ready. You came on time. I was just about to ask." Zhao Xiaojing said as she picked up three lunch bags and handed them to Su Yuchen at the kitchen door.

Su Yuchen took it and after paying the bill at the front desk, they quickly left with the rice.

As soon as the three of them left, customers started to come into the store, and the owner of the pressed noodles shop next door poked his head into the store.

"Open, girl? What were those people packing just now? It smells so good. I could smell it just after 11 o'clock. I don't even want to cook the vegetables I bought."

Su Yuchen chuckled and pointed at the blackboard on the wall. "They packed three of every rice dish in the store. The menu is here. But the aroma you smell should be from our pork knuckle rice. That's our signature dish."

"Oh, it smells like a rich braised meat aroma... 30 yuan?" The noodle shop owner looked at the menu in confusion. She was already here, but 30 yuan was a bit expensive. She was running a small business, and she had to sell several servings of noodles to make 30 yuan.

"Sister, our family has a lot of pig's feet, so one portion is enough for two people with smaller appetites.

"Wait a minute." Su Yuchen said as she went into the kitchen, cut a few slices of pig's feet, put toothpicks on them, and came out with a small bowl. "Sister, it doesn't matter whether you order or not, just try it first. I guarantee you'll never forget the taste of our braised food."

The noodle shop owner was hesitant, but after hearing what Su Yuchen said, he half-believed and half-doubtedly picked up a toothpick and put a piece in his mouth. His expression changed immediately after taking the bite. "Girl, give me one! Give me more rice!"

"Okay, sister, please eat a few more slices." Su Yuchen smiled and stretched the tasting bowl in her hand forward.

"Oh, no, no." The noodle shop owner pushed the bowl away, not feeling embarrassed to taste it anymore. He just stood there, staring at Su Yuchen as he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
