Chapter 297 We must be villains first and gentlemen later



Tang Yuanyang was also amazed.

"Weiwei, the ones we made in the countryside before didn't seem to taste like this."

"At that time, it was because of the lack of ingredients. Now, the stewed dishes on the table are filled with enough ingredients when they are stewed, so they are naturally delicious."

He Ting also commented: "The stewed dishes you and your sister-in-law made together this time have reached the peak of your culinary skills."

"Yes, my sister-in-law and I work together and do a great job."

Lu Baiwei looked at Gu Min gratefully and smiled sweetly at her.

While eating the delicious stewed food, Grandpa He praised, "My two granddaughters-in-law are so capable. With their cooking skills, the old guys in the compound will envy me again."

"When your braised food restaurant opens, I'll buy some back to see if I can satisfy those old guys' greed."

He Ting: “…”

He Hua: “…”

It’s speechless!

Their grandfather is at most four years old, one or two years older than Xiao Chengzi and Xiao Xuanzi.

The key is that the younger ones are still there to support it.

"Envy them!"

"Greedy, drooling!"

During the meal, Gu Min and Lu Baiwei received all kinds of praise from everyone.

It was clearly Lu Baiwei who taught her how to make braised dishes, but in the mouth of her brother's wife, it turned out to be a braised dish that was cooked together.

Gu Min now understood why Lu Baiwei called her into the kitchen under the pretext of making twice-cooked pork.

Although the braised dish was too fragrant in the end, the flavor was not achieved and it was just put directly into the pot and made into braised meat.

But because of her participation, the braised dish became the credit of both of them.

Hearing everyone's praise, Gu Min understood that her sister-in-law was taking her feelings into consideration at every turn.

In fact, he even taught me all his skills in making braised dishes.

Gu Min has been getting along very well with Lu Baiwei since she returned to Kyoto. This time, the way she looked at Lu Baiwei was different. There was gratitude and closeness, as if she was looking at her closest sister. The feeling was indescribable.

Just by looking at the people on the table enjoying the braised dishes, Gu Min could already foresee that this braised food restaurant would be very popular.

Gu Min felt even more grateful that He Ting and Lu Baiwei entrusted her with the important task of managing the shop.

She secretly swore in her heart that she would do her best to run the soon-to-be-opened braised food shop well so that her younger brother and his wife could study at school without any worries.

Of course, these were all what she thought silently in her heart, and Gu Min did not express them.

In fact, she is not the kind of person who is good at speaking, otherwise she would not be unable to deal with a few gossipy women in the compound, and she is always the one who suffers when arguing with them.

In the future, she will run the shop well and see how she can make those people lose face.

Everyone enjoyed a hearty meal of braised dishes and white flour buns.

Now the triplets are in the care of Lu Baiwei's second aunt Zhao Lan, and Gu Min is about to officially take over the management of the braised food shop. Taking this opportunity, Lu Baiwei made a simple handover.

"Sister-in-law, the stewed food we made together today was very successful. Before the shop opens, you can go to the market to buy meat and vegetables and make them a few more times. This way, when the shop officially opens, you will be able to better master the time and steps of stewing the food, and you won't make mistakes in a hurry."

Lu Baiwei took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Gu Min: "This is the money for trying to make braised dishes. Take this money first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

"This, I can't have this."

Gu Min refused: "Weiwei, I also run a restaurant anyway, I will buy the vegetables with my own money and try to cook."

"Don't do that. Brothers should be clear about their accounts. The shop doesn't belong to He Ting and I. My cousin Tang Yunling and the Zhou family also have a share, as well as Shen Junqian's share. Public is public and private is private. We won't subsidize the money for the food tasting."

"Don't come here to manage it, and then you will lose money."

Zhao Lan nodded frequently as she listened: "Amin, this is correct. I can't let you suffer any loss."

"Besides, today's dishes don't count. From now on, we can eat the braised dishes together."

Gu Min thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he just gave up.

It was because she was too grateful to her brother's wife that she lost her mind and could not distinguish between public and private matters, and only thought about devotion and contribution.

She smiled sheepishly: "Okay, I won't do this again in the future."

"The current situation of the shop is that according to the design I drew, the wall glass has been completed, the floor has been laid, and the electric lights and fans will be installed later. The kitchen utensils are in place, and the shop decoration is basically completed."

"We have already ordered tables, chairs and benches from the furniture factory. We are rushing to make them. They will be delivered in a few days."

"At that time, the electric lights and fans were installed, and the tables, chairs and benches were put out and the business could be opened quickly."

Lu Baiwei discussed with Gu Min: "By the way, the workers need to be in place as soon as possible. Sister-in-law, please post the recruitment information at the shop tomorrow."

Lu Baiwei is actually the best at recruiting, but if the shop is opened, there will definitely be more than one shop in the future, so Gu Min will definitely have to make more decisions and be trained.

She gave full authority to Gu Min to take charge of the recruitment, and set the salary based on the current situation of state-owned hotels.

Lu Baiwei gave Gu Min two suggestions: "Sister-in-law, the person who comes to look for a job must be an aunt from the neighborhood, so don't agree right away."

"I'll ask the neighbors about her reputation and then decide who to hire."

"My suggestion is to hire a cook and two waiters first."

"If the shop is short-staffed and can't handle the business in the future, we can hire part-time staff based on how busy the meal times are. Many of our college students should be able to squeeze out time to come to the braised food shop to help earn some pocket money."

"We charge by the hour, which can greatly save labor costs."

Gu Min had never expected that his sister-in-law could explain every aspect of her business so clearly for the first time.

Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she felt that she had learned a lot, and she nodded frequently.

After completing a simple handover with Gu Min, He Hua drove his family back to the compound. Lu Baiwei handed a bag of braised dishes to Gu Min.

"Take this back and let your uncle and aunt taste it."

"Our whole family is eating here, we can't have this, Weiwei."

He Hua wanted to refuse, but the old man thought he was too nosy: "You are the only one who is always nosy. Family members don't care about these politeness."

"Yes, Grandpa is right. There are extra braised dishes today. You can take one back to your uncle and aunt, and I will take the other one in your car to the pharmacy two streets ahead to give to Teacher Gu."

Lu Baiwei smiled and explained: "In the future, I will have to rely on Teacher Gu from our school to help me with the spices and medicine bags for the stewed food shop."

Carrying a bag of braised dishes and going out with He Hua's family, Lu Baiwei always felt like she had forgotten something.

As she reached the threshold, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

"By the way, the sauce packets in our marinade shop are a secret that is not passed on. We have to be a villain first and then a gentleman."
