The ninth day of the first lunar month is a good day, and Li Yu plans to open his business on this day.
Old man Lin specially asked the elderly people in the village to take care of it. The whole family worked hard and finally prepared all the things needed for the opening on the eighth day of the first lunar month. During the past few days, Uncle Lin, Third Uncle Lin, and Fourth Uncle Lin also ran around to help.
On the opening day, several families came. Old Man Lin was very happy. This was a big event for the family, so he asked everyone in the family to go and show their support to their second aunt.
There are quite a lot of varieties of food in Lin’s restaurant.
For breakfast, Li Yu added a few more dishes to the roujiamo and leek box.
The buns alone have plenty of filling, which is completely enough.
The menu for lunch and afternoon is richer, although Li Yu does not cook the high-end dishes that are served in hotels.
But home cooking is no problem for her. She has several ways to prepare spare ribs: sweet and sour, braised, and stewed.
There are many ways to eat fish at home.
Modern people eat pork in many ways, including frying, steaming and boiling.
She never worried about running out of food.
She also opened a window facing the street corner to sell braised meats, including braised pig's trotters, pork belly, chicken, duck, and vegetarian dishes.
Li Yu positions their restaurant as mid-range, home-style cuisine.
She refused to accept the invitation to the banquet because she felt her cooking skills were not good enough for a banquet and she couldn't even carve.
Even if I become rich in the future, I will open a big restaurant and focus on home-cooked dishes.
The family has been discussing the name of the store since the Chinese New Year. They have tried many high-sounding names like Zhenxiu Pavilion and Fumanlou, but Li Yu is not satisfied with any of them.
Finally, three days before the opening, Uncle Lin came over and asked if anyone had made a decision. He was waiting to make a signboard.
Li Yu thought about it and decided to call it "Lin's Private Kitchen". Lin He would write the title, Uncle Lin would make the sign, and Lin Jiang would carve the words.
Before opening, Li Yu bought a stack of paper and wrote on it that Lin's Roujiamo had opened a shop and would only sell it in the shop instead of setting up a stall, and also wrote the address.
It also said that on the opening day, there would be a discount of 10 yuan for every 10 yuan spent. Lin Heng led his friends to distribute it in the streets and alleys.
So there are a lot of people today, all of them are regular customers of the Roujiamo stall.
On the opening day, Old Man Lin unveiled the plaque.
After setting off firecrackers and a few simple words, Lin's Private Kitchen opened in such a grand manner.
Lin Meilinhe was responsible for paying the bill and ordering food, while Lin Jiang and Lin Jie were responsible for serving the food.
Li Yu was cooking in the kitchen with Yang Liu and Lin Fei. She felt that she was extremely busy and had no time to rest.
And Zhong washes the vegetables.
Even Wang Yulan and Zhao Yue were washing dishes.
As soon as the sun set, Li Yu asked Lin He to hang up the closing sign and stop accepting customers.
After the last table of guests left, the families sat together to rest and chat.
The catering industry is really difficult, Li Yu sighed.
"Second brother's wife, your business is so prosperous. How can you and your mother handle it? Ah He will go to school starting tomorrow, and our two families have to go back." said Mrs. Zhong.
Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin San had already told their neighbors to look after their home for the night, so both families were staying in town tonight.
After hearing what Zhong said, Li Yu was a little worried. Although today was the first day of opening, it was normal to have so many people. There wouldn't be so many people in the future.
But today, customers gave their store good reviews on the food. Business will likely continue to improve.
"This is indeed a hassle. I need to teach Ah Fei and Yang Liu how to cook, so I definitely won't have time to do the rest of the dishes. Ah Hai and Ah Jiang will be in charge of the front.
Meimei needs to take care of Xiaobao. We really don’t have enough people, so we need to find someone to wash the dishes,” said Li Yu.
"Second sister-in-law, how about I shamelessly introduce someone to you?" said Aunt Lin San.
Li Yu didn't expect that Wang would introduce someone to her.
"Sister-in-law, as long as you have good character and are hardworking, there will definitely be no problem."
Wang was a little embarrassed because the person she introduced was not someone else, but her own sister-in-law from her mother's family, who was also the mother of her daughter-in-law.
"Oh, it's Xiaoman's mother, my eldest sister-in-law from my mother's family." Wang Xiaoman obviously didn't expect that her mother-in-law introduced her own mother to her second aunt.
He couldn't hold back his tears and looked at Wang Yulan with tears in his eyes, calling out "Mom" softly.
Wang patted her hands, signaling her to stop talking and listen to her.
"It's also a hard life. My eldest brother went hunting in the mountains a few years ago and his leg was broken by a wild boar. Now he can't do heavy work, and his legs hurt when it's cloudy and rainy.
My son is already 18, and he still hasn't found a wife. Everything at home falls on him and my eldest sister-in-law." Wang sighed for her nephew.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let your nephew come. It's good for a young man to see the world. I won't let him wash dishes all the time. He will have the opportunity to do other things in the future.
As for her mother, it would be more convenient for her to stay at home and take care of her father. Otherwise, if her mother leaves and she can't go home every day in town, the father and daughter probably won't even have a hot meal."
Wang Xiaoman excitedly stood up and thanked him.
"Thank you, Second Aunt. I thank you on behalf of my mother and my brother."
"What are you thanking me for? Go back and tell your brother to work hard. Second Aunt won't treat him badly. We are all family."
Wang Xiaoman was crying and laughing.
She cried for her pitiful parents, and laughed at how nice her second aunt was to them.
