Chapter 73 Restaurant Opening
There were only a few sausages left, and Xiao Qihang didn't want to have to eat only salty bacon and vegetables for the rest of his life.
He has been enjoying himself these days and doesn't want to let himself down.
I just feel a little regretful. If I had known earlier, I should have asked Miss Ji to prepare more.
When the merchant ship was docked at other ports, one of the vendors mentioned this interesting story. In order to eat sausages, everyone bargained down a hundred coins to one or two taels of silver, but they still couldn't buy them!
Since a small piece can't be bought for even one or two taels of silver, some people are curious about what this sausage is.
"This sausage is incredibly delicious! It lasts for months without going bad. It's so juicy and fragrant you can eat it with several large steamed buns!"
According to word of mouth, sausage is a delicious and precious food among these ship merchants, and only a young lady from Qizhou County can make it.
Many people are interested in this thing called sausage, and they think that when they pass by Qizhou County, they must go and see it and try what it tastes like.
Ji Zhisui and the sausages she made became a little famous among these people.
Of course, she didn't know all this. Now that she had signed the deed with Mao Gaoyuan and paid the money, the store belonged to Ji Zhisui.
The overall layout of the restaurant's tables, chairs and benches does not need to be changed. She wants to modify the long counter so that one side is used to collect orders, and the other side is used exclusively for selling wraps.
The changes to the store were minor, and the carpenter finished it in a day. Once the store was finished, the sign was installed.
To open a restaurant, a name is essential. Ji Zhisui had no idea and could only ask the Pei family for help.
The Pei family was a little hesitant for a moment and couldn't think of a good name.
"You have tasted all kinds of flavors in your life, why don't you call Baiwei Restaurant?" Pei Yian suggested.
"A hundred flavors, a hundred flavors, life is full of flavors! What a good name! Let's call it that!"
After hearing this name, Ji Zhisui was very satisfied and looked at it with appreciation. It seemed that Pei Yian did have some skills in naming.
The store name is decided, and the next step is the menu.
Burritos are a must-have food that has accompanied me on my journey to wealth. They are cheap, filling, and very cost-effective. I also have ice jelly, which is also very popular in the summer.
Ji Zhisui had been to other restaurants and hotels before and found that they all had one thing in common, that is, most of the restaurants had a large proportion of meat dishes and very few vegetarian dishes.
Come to think of it, since everyone is out to eat, they must want to eat meat. There is no reason to go out to eat and order a large table of vegetarian dishes.
Therefore, Ji Zhisui followed the local customs and prepared mostly meat dishes.
For example: sweet and sour pork, braised pork, boiled chicken, fish fillet tofu soup...
After all these are decided, we need to start purchasing various things, including pots, pans, flour, sugar, soy sauce and seasonings.
The variety and quantity of vegetables sent by Mr. Sun also increased, and he would have them delivered directly to the back door of Baiwei Restaurant early in the morning.
Old Mr. Sun thanked Ji Zhisui profusely. Part of their family's income depended on delivering food to Miss Ji. Now that Miss Ji opened a restaurant, the demand for food was even greater, so he asked his youngest son who was working odd jobs outside to come back and help.
At first, Sun Xiaodi was not willing to do it at all. What kind of money could he make by delivering groceries? It would be better for him to do odd jobs in town! Although it was unstable, it was still more promising than delivering groceries.
"Then tell me, how much do you make a month working in town?"
"Sometimes I earn more than a hundred coins!" This is an individual case. Most of the time I earn fifty or sixty coins. The market has been bad recently. He hasn't had any work for several days and has only earned thirty or forty coins this month.
"Come on, this is the price during the Chinese New Year. I'll pay you fifty cents. You can help with harvesting and planting vegetables in the morning, and it won't interfere with your work during the day." Ji Xiaoniang's demand has increased, and he and his grandson are really too busy to handle it.
"Fifty cents? Dad, did I hear it right?" Little Brother Sun was in disbelief. He knew the situation at home, where they could barely make ends meet. But what did he hear now? His father wanted to pay him fifty cents to help with the work?
"Why would I lie to you? Get up early tomorrow morning and deliver the goods with me." As an old vegetable farmer, Mr. Sun not only has to worry about God's mood, but also worries about the future of the vegetables he grows.
I was afraid that if there were too many vegetables, the vendors wouldn't want them and they would just rot in the fields. Now that I have a stable source of delivery, I don't have to sell them at a low price.
What's more, Miss Ji is also very good to them. Not only does she give them travel expenses, but sometimes she will also send them a portion of delicious food. Uncle Sun hopes that Miss Ji's restaurant will become more and more prosperous, as good people should be rewarded.
The young lady's restaurant is doing well, and she will demand more vegetables, so the vegetables from the mountain behind her house are saved.
When Sun Xiaodi saw his father's confident expression and his fantasy of a bright future, he felt it was a bit magical. Could he really make money just by giving away these vegetables?
Everything was ready in Baiwei Restaurant. Ji Zhisui did not forget to tell Manager Wu and Madam Wang about her restaurant. These were her connections in Qizhou County.
At night, Ji Zhisui lay in bed, too excited to sleep, because tomorrow was the opening day of the restaurant.
Although she was confident in her cooking skills, she was still a little nervous. Would the food in the restaurant be popular? Would the restaurant business be good tomorrow?
After all, it was late at night and she fell asleep in a daze.
Early in the morning, the Pei family went to the restaurant, wanting to show their support while also helping out, fearing that Sui Niang would be too busy.
After Ji Zhisui opened the door of Baiwei Restaurant, a group of people dressed in festive red clothes beat drums and gongs in front of the restaurant.
Not only that, another group of people came from a distance, also wearing festive red clothes, beating drums and gongs in front of the restaurant.
One team attracted a lot of passers-by, and now with two teams joining together, they attracted almost everyone's attention on the street.
Everyone has noticed that a new restaurant has opened here, Baiwei Restaurant. The name of this restaurant is quite charming, but I wonder what the dishes and taste like?
This newly opened restaurant has aroused the interest of many people.
Ji Zhisui was also shocked by the sound of gongs and drums. These people were divided into two groups. She was confused because she didn't invite these people to perform!
Before she could ask, Madam Wang appeared in front of Ji Zhisui with her maid and said, "Miss Ji, I didn't know what gift to give you for opening your shop, so I invited a group of people to celebrate. As for this other couple..."
"Hahaha, I was wondering which wonderful person had the same idea as me and had such good vision that he invited a team of people to celebrate. It turns out that this wonderful person is Mrs. Wang!" Manager Wu walked out of the crowd, came to Mrs. Wang and bowed to her.
