Chapter 034 Earned 80 Yuan on the First Day
"Oh my god, this is so delicious."
Xia He's eyes almost popped out as she ate the braised chicken:
"No wonder you want to open a restaurant. With this skill, a restaurant can definitely make money. You're also fast enough. You can open a braised meat shop as soon as you say it."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Thank you for helping me find a good store."
Xia He, who was wearing lipstick and pursing her lips while chewing on the braised duck, said nonchalantly:
"What's the big deal? I've been keeping an eye on your clothing store for you. By the way, I got a batch of sweaters. Can you help me figure out how to pair them so they can sell well?"
Bai Zhenzhu turned her head and saw a lot of turtleneck sweaters hanging on the wall.
Sweaters are not cheap these days, but women in almost every household know how to knit sweaters, and Zhang Minmin knits when she has nothing to do.
It’s just that the sweaters I knit myself are often not slim-fitting and are clumsy and thick.
But the sweaters Xia He sells are very slim-fitting and come in many styles.
"You can pair it with a leather trench coat or a suit jacket."
As Bai Zhenzhu spoke, she picked up a red turtleneck sweater and a black leather jacket and put them together.
Xia He: "I also match it this way, and the effect is average."
Bai Zhenzhu: "Don't pull up the leather jacket, just open it and tuck the sweater into the pants. If the customer has a good figure, it will definitely look good like this, and you can wear it with flared jeans or wide-leg pants. If you don't have a good figure, you can wear a windbreaker with a skirt."
Xia He's eyes lit up: "I think I understand."
I understood it but didn't take any action. I just kept eating the braised pork. It was so delicious. It was spicy when dipped in chili powder, but it was salty and fragrant even without it.
"Pearl, do you have any more of this braised chicken? I want one. My mom will definitely like it."
Bai Zhenzhu hung up the clothes and looked back: "Yes, I will go buy some chicken stew later and save it for you."
She didn't delay and hurried home to eat.
Because it was not possible to eat in the lobby downstairs, Bai Chenglei carried a table and placed it on the second floor.
The braised meat that was left over received unanimous praise from everyone.
Huo Zheng ate with everyone else and was also very surprised:
"Comrade Bai's braised pork is better than that of Rongcheng Hotel."
Bai Chengxiang smiled and said, "That's great. In the future, we will open our Zhenzhu braised meat shop in Chengdu."
Huo Zheng nodded: "I think it's okay."
Bai Chenglei also said: "So much meat was sold out in a short time, and everyone said it tasted good."
White Pearl was praised for her confidence:
"Then I will try to turn the Good Taste Braised Meat Shop into a chain store."
The concept of chain stores is still unfamiliar in the small county of Yuanxian, but it already exists in Chengdu.
Huo Zheng nodded again with appreciation. Bai Zhenzhu was truly the most special woman he had ever met.
She is brave, decisive, wise, and good at looking at things from a developmental perspective, which even surpasses most men.
What kind of man is worthy of a woman like this?
Today's lunch was very sumptuous. In addition to the braised meat, there was also a pot of chicken soup. Zhang Minmin also fried a large plate of chicken and duck offal with pickled peppers, which was very delicious.
After dinner, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi went to the market to buy pork, chicken and duck. Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang stayed at home, waiting for the building materials boss to deliver the building materials.
This time Bai Zhenzhu bought two pig heads and three chickens and ducks.
The chicken and duck owner was responsible for removing the feathers, so Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi took the pig heads back for processing first.
The pig heads I bought today are all around 15 jin, so it’s no problem to stew two or three at a time in a large pot.
Maybe the store’s reputation had spread by noon, so more people bought the products in the afternoon.
Besides, the workers who live nearby have all gone off work, so they usually just make do with something casual at noon and only cook something delicious in the evening.
By seven o'clock in the afternoon, all the braised meat except the leftover meat was sold out.
Just as I was cleaning up, Xia He came.
Bai Zhenzhu helped her chop the braised chicken and put it in two lunch boxes, and also put a box of braised pork head in there.
"This pig head is for uncle and aunt to eat."
Xia He didn't bother to be polite with her. She paid for the braised chicken and took the meat home.
Seeing that Bai Zhenzhu still had one pig ear left, Bai Jingsi disapproved:
"There are a lot of vegetables at home, it would be great to save the pig ears and sell them for money."
"The purpose of making money is to live a good life. Giving these pig ears to you to eat with wine is a way to live a good life. I thought there would be some leftovers from the braised chicken and duck, but they were all sold out."
The brother and sister cleaned the store. Bai Zhenzhu went to check the three pots of stewed soup on the floor. They were already cold, so she covered them with a breathable curtain.
Bai Jingsi was very worried:
"Pearl, the weather is hot recently, will this really not go bad?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "No, I learned this from someone. The meat residue and seasonings in the stew have been scooped out cleanly, and the salt is sufficient. As long as you don't add raw water or shake it, it will be fine if you leave it overnight. The stewed meat will be more fragrant with this old stew."
Bai Jingsi nodded, saying that the nights have been getting cooler since the beginning of autumn, so it shouldn't be bad.
Zhang Minmin cooked again in the evening. She made mung bean porridge and stir-fried chicken and duck offal. When Bai Zhenzhu returned home, she bought thirty meat buns at the market.
After dinner, Bai Zhenzhu roughly calculated the bills for today.
Excluding the money for tasting, eating at home, and giving away, and deducting the costs of labor and materials, the net profit is probably about 80 yuan.
For eighty yuan, villagers have to work for half a month.
This is only the first day of soft opening.
Bai Zhenzhu was a little excited. She and her family would no longer have to live a hard life in this life.
She will definitely be able to lead them all to a good life.
When she came out, Bai Chengxiang asked:
"Pearl, when will the braised meat shop officially open?"
"The day after tomorrow, the sign will be delivered tomorrow." Bai Zhenzhu said with a smile: "I checked the old almanac, and the day after tomorrow is a good day for opening the business."
Bai Chengxiang said, "Okay, we'll finish the work tomorrow in half a day. My brother and I will go and help you. We'll also have to buy some firecrackers to celebrate."
After the cement floor is completed, it needs to be dried in the shade before the walls can be painted. Bai Zhenzhu wants to braise some pork liver, pork intestines and pork stomach as she is opening the day after tomorrow, so her two brothers can help with the cleanup.
When Bai Zhenzhu went to get the meat in the afternoon, she had already made an agreement with the pork seller to ask him to leave her one pig liver, one pig intestine, and two pig stomachs.
Bai Zhenzhu knows that in a few years, with the development of the breeding industry, there will be more and more types of braised meat.
Braised beef, braised chicken feet, chicken wings, duck feet, duck wings, duck necks, duck heads, as well as chicken and duck hearts and livers.
But not yet, the market only sells whole chickens, and these chickens are also collected from farmers.
The next morning, Bai Zhenzhu went to get two pig heads and four chickens and ducks.
The boss who sold chickens and ducks discussed with her that if she wanted a fixed number of chickens and ducks, could he help her prepare them in advance, not only removing the feathers but also cleaning the fluff, but he would have to add 30 cents per pound.
Bai Zhenzhu silently calculated that the feathers of a chicken are about half a pound, which is about the same. Moreover, if she wants more in the future, it will take time for the boss to process it, and it would not be cost-effective to delay her braising the meat.
So I made an agreement with the boss to deliver four chickens and ducks to the braised meat shop every morning at six o'clock and afternoon at two o'clock.
The pork seller said that he could also deliver the goods to the door. Once the shop officially opens for business and the daily purchase quantity is basically determined, the pork seller can deliver the required meat all at once in the morning.
