Chapter 116,
At the time of Si, more and more people came and went on the street. Su Guoer asked the lion dancers to start dancing. In addition, a stage was built in the front. There were singers invited by Qingluan from somewhere, and they were singing non-stop.
It attracted a lot of people to watch.
Only then did Su Guoer realize the gap between people.
She had never thought of inviting a troupe of actors, but Qingluan had thought of it, and they invited extraordinary people. Their singing made people happy at one moment and cry at the next, just like magic.
Su Guoer chose to open in the middle of this month, and everyone had more time to rest in the middle of the month, so they could just make an appointment to go out for a walk. They also heard that a new restaurant had opened on the bank of the Bian River, so they made an appointment to come and join in the fun.
"I heard there are snacks to eat?" Many children came over, pulling their adults along.
Well-informed stall owners also came over with their carts, taking advantage of the crowds to make some money. Soon, the front of the restaurant was packed with people, making it difficult to move.
At this time, Su Guoer stepped forward and unveiled the red cloth covering the sign in front of everyone's gaze.
As for the name of the restaurant, she did not change it to "some restaurant", but changed two words on the original basis and called it "Bianjing Fresh Food Restaurant".
The original "Su Ji Fresh Food Restaurant" was changed to "Bian Jing Fresh Food Restaurant"
"Hey? Why did this restaurant choose such a name? It doesn't sound very nice." Someone in the crowd said.
"Yes, although I have not been educated, I also think that the name of this restaurant is too ordinary. It is not as nice as the previous Mingyue Tower. Even Baiweizhai or Shanfuzhai would sound better than this," said a little boy, pointing at Su Guoer's sign.
Even some of Su Guoer's regular customers don't understand why Su Guoer chose such a rustic name.
"How come a restaurant like this is called a restaurant? It's just two words changed from the previous sign. It really doesn't sound good."
But since the sign had been unveiled, that was all that could be done. So the regular customer sighed in the crowd and said nothing more. Instead, he sincerely looked forward to what snacks would be served next.
Free tasting.
It is true that the name of this sign is rustic, but some people understand Su Guoer's little thoughts.
There happened to be a scholar standing in the crowd. He stared at the sign for a long while, and finally said, "Although the name of this sign is tacky, it is indeed easy to remember. Bian Jing Fresh Food Restaurant..."
"Bianjing is a place name. Among all the restaurants in Bianjing, is there a single one that dares to have 'Bianjing' in its name? This undoubtedly declares that her Xianshi Restaurant is the only restaurant in Bianjing. 'Xianshi' means fresh, and the combination makes it very memorable. I think the owner of this restaurant is quite a character, not burdened by the name, and can still control people's hearts. In the future, if diners from other places come here, they might be attracted by the name without knowing the reason."
It was obvious to God that Su Guoer really didn't mean that. She didn't understand why others could interpret so many meanings from a sign.
In fact, her original intention was to call it Fresh Food Restaurant, but adding the word "Su Ji" in front of it seemed a bit petty, so she changed it to "Bian Jing Fresh Food Restaurant".
"So what if the name is loud? Whether it's a restaurant or a restaurant, their reputation is judged by their taste and the reputation of their customers. No matter how big her name is, it's just a publicity stunt."
"Yes, yes, the most important thing is that it tastes good. Oh? Why hasn't the tasting session started yet?" The child was a little anxious.
After Su Guoer took down the sign, she called in the lion dancers to perform a few acrobatics at the entrance. Afterward, Changqi, dressed in brand new clothes, led his men to move out the tasting tables. They were arranged in a row on both sides of the restaurant entrance, covered with festive red cloth.
Then there were stacks and stacks of cakes and snacks.
The first thing that came up was the Jade Hazelnut Cake, which was made from the finest hazelnuts. There were also Pumpkin and Snow Pear Cake, Rose White Jade Cake, Hibiscus Cake, Date and Yam Cake, and various Double Ninth Festival flower cakes. In addition, there were the popular pineapple cakes in Beijing, kidney bean rolls, ink starch cakes shaped like the four treasures of the study, lotus cakes, etc., which filled an entire long table.
They are made in very small pieces, one for each bite, so that everyone can have a portion.
On another long table were various braised meats, along with meat and vegetable potstickers, all cut up and placed on wooden sticks for easy access. Su Guoer planned to make this her signature dish, so everyone could experience the true flavor of authentic potstickers.
There is also a table with the ten signature dishes of their restaurant.
Sliced fish in a jar, fish balls with black ink, shrimp rolls with Longjing tea, braised lamb liver, blanched seafood, special iron pot stew, golden fish dumplings, vinegar pork buns, tea-flavored spareribs and homemade pickles, etc.
Of course, she specially put this pickle up. Although it looks a little bit unpresentable, she has tried it and found that the pickles she made herself have a unique taste and are particularly easy to sell. She can sell about 50 kilograms a day.
In terms of taste, it is very clear that they are used as signature dishes. Signature dishes mean that you have something that other places don’t have. These ten dishes are not only delicious, but also made from inexpensive raw materials.
After all, she had to control costs. Otherwise, she would have just ordered the crab roe tofu and raw marinated seafood from the store.
These two dishes are definitely delicious, but the cost is too high. Even if one person has one bite, it will be a considerable expense, so Su Guoer automatically ignored them.
Nowadays, when I move out, I try some signature dishes that are not too expensive or time-consuming.
For pickles, the cost is even lower. The only expensive ones here are the blanched seafood and ink-flavored fish balls, followed by the tea-flavored spareribs.
Of course, under Su Guoer's deliberate control, the cost of these dishes was less than twenty taels of silver.
Don't underestimate these ten taels of silver. You have to know that this food tasting will be held for a whole day. With so many people coming and going throughout the day, how much food will they have to eat?
That's why Su Guoer deliberately cut costs, bringing out delicious but inexpensive food for tasting, and letting Changqi lead the tasting customers inside to eat the real good food.
Then announce the names of the dishes, such as crab roe tofu, Haichang fish rice cake slices, chive snails, Pingqiao tofu, etc. These names of dishes that sound delicious can attract diners to come in and try them.
Whether she can retain diners in the future depends on her cooking skills.
Several pots of dishes were prepared early, and as soon as the diners entered the restaurant, the kitchen started cooking. Without waiting for anyone to urge them, smoke rose from the back, followed by bursts of aroma, making the waiting diners feel anxious as if they were being scratched by a cat.
Some of them even couldn't sit still and ran to the back door to wait eagerly.
The same was true for the diners outside. Ever since the food was brought out, they all rushed over like crazy, each holding one thing and eating happily.
