Chapter 333: Is Chuunibyou addictive?
"As expected of Mirror Sister! I can always buy good meat at the market. Professionals are the difference!"
"Xiao Wu, what do you mean? Tell me again. Who are you saying is buying something bad? Hand over the bowl!"
"Oh, Sister Comb, stop! That's not what I meant! It's fine if you buy it!"
There was a familiar commotion, and Wu Kaile held the bowl tightly and ate defensively.
"Come! Eat more! You're so strong, but you're so easy to bully!" Hou Guihua laughed and picked up some meat for Wu Kaile.
"I don't think it has much to do with the ingredients," Lü Hongwen said quietly, holding his bowl amid the clamor. "Many vendors use poorly prepared meat as braised or pickled meat. When it's put through the braising pot, most of the flavor of the ingredients is masked."
"Indeed, the braised meat that can't be sold in the braised food store has been through the soup pot countless times, but you can still taste the obvious strong flavor of the braising sauce. If you buy fresh meat like my junior sister, there is actually not much difference in taste between ordinary meat and good meat. Only gourmets can taste the subtle differences." Yun Yongyuan said.
Zhao Xiaojing nodded. It made sense. She'd upgraded the ingredients to premium quality to give back to Wen Yulan and Wen Jin. A subtle difference that could make their experience better was worth it. For those of them who ate out all year, the difference in texture was easily discernible.
"So Sister Jingzi, let's sell this braised pork head!" Lu Hongwen slammed the table and said passionately.
???
What's the point of banging the table?
"Do you have to be so childish?" Su Yuchen said.
"Brother, is being a middle school student addictive?" Wu Kaile asked, holding his bowl of rice.
"Xiao Wu! Say that again? Don't you want your bowl again?"
!!!
His rice bowl was threatened x 2! Wu Kaile quickly lowered his head and buried his head in his rice.
Hou Guihua and Geng Mingyan laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
"Sister Jingzi, what I mean is, if this flavor is this good, and it can be braised almost exactly with any other meat, then we can sell it in the store. The things we braise in the store are just side dishes, and they're all eaten with rice. But this pig's head is different, it's a complete dish, and it goes well with wine! Or maybe we can sell some rice wine as well?"
"Yes, many uncles asked me if there are any other snacks to go with alcohol in our store. They think the braised food in our store is good and want to have a drink." Ouyang Yidan said.
"Will selling alcohol... affect the table turnover rate?" Yun Yongyuan said after thinking seriously for a while.
"It shouldn't be. We are now selling small bottles of liquor and beer. People order them every day, and some customers bring their own wine. Every day when the elder sister and others are cleaning up, there are always bottles of wine. Whether they are sold or not doesn't affect other people's drinking." Lu Hongwen said.
"In my hometown, beef noodles are served with a bowl of rice wine in the morning! The turnover rate is pretty fast, and people leave as soon as they finish their noodles! There are also free and paid options. The free rice wine is diluted with water and doesn't have much alcohol, while the paid version is not diluted with water. The cheapest one is one yuan a bowl, and the more expensive ones are thirty yuan a bowl!
Sister, if you want to sell it, I can ask my mother to ask the price of potted rice wine over there. Our rice wine is good!"
"Wow! Thirty yuan a bowl? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the boss is making a fortune! Xiao Zhao, if you want to sell it, I'll go learn how to make it from my mom! This is too expensive!"
"Yes, I drank it during the Chinese New Year. The rice wine made by Guihua Niang is also very good. We can learn how to make it ourselves."
Everyone at the table was talking and giving advice. Zhao Xiaojing smiled slightly with a very gentle look.
She is smart and can actually calculate the best solution in a few seconds, but seeing everyone sincerely consider and discuss the store, the happiness she feels is incomparable to the best solution.
"Selling pig heads is feasible. We can braise two tomorrow to test sales, but forget about the rice wine. Don't forget that we haven't fried the food yet. After the weekend, when everyone has adjusted, Sister Geng and Sister Hou will have to go over and fry the food and cut the braised dishes. We don't have that many people in the hall to help.
Besides, the store already has beer and small bottles of white wine, which are convenient for picking up and paying. If we buy a large pot of rice wine, it will easily spill when pouring it back and forth, which will only increase the workload for Ouyang and the others.
"That's true! The hot items will be available in two days, and many old customers are asking about it today. School is about to start for me, and I have to do takeout. I will definitely be busier than now." Lu Hongwen nodded.
"Sister, you are so nice! I want to follow you forever!" Ouyang Yidan was moved again.
"Sister! Me too!" Wu Kaile followed closely behind, speaking incoherently with a dumpling in his mouth.
“…Just forget it.” Zhao Xiaojing deliberately stepped back.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Xiao Wu, you should reflect on yourself!"
"Come on! Eat meat, kid! Even Xiao Zhao is bullying you this time, so you'll have to eat harder!"
"Xiao Wu is fine! Junior Sister didn't mean it, she just loves to tell the truth! Hahahaha!"
…
On Saturdays and Sundays, rice bowl shops entered a new round of peak traffic, Zhao Xiaojing's braised pork head was officially launched, and Su Yuchen's band members finally returned to Jiangcheng to gather together.
After an excited discussion, the five members of the band immediately contacted Wen Jin and agreed to start rehearsing in the afternoon of the weekend and officially record in the studio on Monday night.
For two consecutive days, Su Yuchen finished his work in the store in the morning, had lunch, and then quickly rushed to Jiangliu District. He did not finish his training and returned until 11 o'clock in the evening.
At the same time, the eight people at the rice bowl shop were exhausted again after experiencing three consecutive days of record high customer traffic. Zhao Xiaojing watched everyone cleaning and was about to order another local duck to make soup for everyone tomorrow when the long-lost system prompt sound suddenly rang.

Main Mission: Expand the restaurant's and individual's popularity, increasing the popularity of "Zhao Ji Rice Bowl" and Chef Zhao to 0.3% in Jiangcheng.
Congratulations on receiving a full-store smart cash register system! We've built a virtual logistics system for the entire system, and we'll deliver your order in five minutes!
Smart cashier? Zhao Xiaojing looked at the current cashier counter and immediately understood.
When we bought the cash register, we used the simplest stand-alone cash register. Every day, Ouyang Yidan ran around with the portable machine to take orders from customers. It just saved a handwriting step, and it didn't save much effort.
I remember that at that time, Suo Zi had his eyes on a complete cash register system that cost three or four thousand yuan. It could be connected to the Internet and could take orders by itself. However, because the maintenance fees and various software fees were too high, the small shop could not sustain it and gave up.
At that time, Xiaozhi said that if he managed the store well, all these would come true in the future, but Zhao Xiaojing just thought it was empty talk.
Could this cake actually be real? Is it the complete smart cash register?
