Chapter 035 Braised Pork Xishi
The pig heads braised in white pearls were particularly popular. The two pig heads were sold out in the morning, and only half a chicken was left at noon.
Bai Zhenzhu put the half chicken back directly.
Zhang Minmin smiled when she saw the braised chicken she brought back:
"People say that the food in restaurants is good. This is really good. We can eat braised meat every day."
She had already prepared potato rice, fried some spicy chicken offal, roasted some beans and eggplant, and had a bowl of tomato and egg soup.
The pigeon soup specially prepared for Huo Zheng's health is also ready.
"Third sister-in-law, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
"I learned all this from you." Zhang Minmin said regretfully: "It's a pity that I can't do everything in two places, otherwise I would like to open a restaurant in addition to the clothing store."
Bai Zhenzhu helped to serve the rice:
"Don't work too hard, the clothing store will make money."
She also heard from Xia He that opening a clothing store is the real way to make money, and most importantly, it is not tiring.
Take Xia He's store for example. It could earn more than a thousand yuan a day when its business was booming. At that time, the profits of a clothing store were huge.
Zhang Minmin was just talking: "Anyway, I have to open a clothing store."
After dinner, Bai Zhenzhu heard that the grain and oil store next door had installed a telephone, so she went to call home.
The Bai family lived not far from the village chief's house. The village chief shouted, and Bai Zhenzhu called three minutes later and Old Man Bai answered the call.
I heard that the braised meat shop has opened and the business is pretty good. Old Man Bai nodded:
"That's good, that's good. By the way, Zhenzhu, you called just in time. Your uncle is going to send Xiaojun to school tomorrow. Please entertain him."
"Xiaojun has started school, no problem." Bai Zhenzhu left the phone number of the grain and oil store. "The bus from the town to Yuan County usually arrives around nine o'clock. I'll ask my eldest brother to pick up my uncle and his family. You tell my uncle to wait at the bus station. My store is next to the train station. It's very convenient for my uncle and Xiaojun to take the train to Beijing."
After asking some more questions about family situations, Bai Zhenzhu hung up the phone.
I asked to pay, but the owner of the grain and oil store refused to take it.
His two sons have had braised eggs to eat every day these past two days, and they also picked up so many bricks from Bai Zhenzhu for free. How could he have the nerve to accept such a small amount of money?
And I heard that Bai Zhenzhu is also going to open a restaurant, which will be helpful to his business in the future.
"We are neighbors, sister, don't be polite with us. If your restaurant needs food, oil, cigarettes, alcohol, etc., you can get them from me and I will give you wholesale prices."
"Okay, then it's settled, Brother Miao. From now on, I'll get whatever I need from you. We'll keep accounts and settle accounts with you at the end of each month. Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, this is a good idea, and it's not troublesome."
The boss's surname is Miao, and his name is Miao Wei. In addition to grain, oil, tobacco, and alcohol, his family also sells condiments for the household, various dry goods, vermicelli, etc., which is also convenient for Bai Zhenzhu.
When they heard that their uncle was going to send Xiaojun to Beijing to go to school, the three brothers of the Bai family were very happy.
The cement floor downstairs had been paved, and Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang went to the braised meat shop to help.
Cleaning pig offal is a rather troublesome job. In my hometown, people would use wood ash to scrub repeatedly. There is no wood ash here, so Bai Zhenzhu scooped a bowl of flour, added white vinegar and white wine, and asked Bai Chenglei to wash it repeatedly three times.
Bai Chenglei was surprised:
"Pearl, the sewage you wash with this method is really white."
The lady boss next door also saw it and praised:
"The braised meat in your house is really clean. The pig intestines are whiter than the ones I wash at home. Leave me a pound of pig liver after it's braised, and a pig ear. My dad is coming, so let my man have a few drinks with him tonight."
"Okay, sister. I'll keep it for you."
"How do you handle the water? I want to learn from you."
Bai Zhenzhu explained the method of processing. When her elder sister heard that not only white flour but also white wine was needed, she felt distressed. She decided to use wood ash, as her hometown had sent her a lot of it.
The pork head and liver have been processed and are ready to be braised.
There are several stoves burning in the store, the temperature is very high, and the wind from the ceiling fans above is hot.
The last time she bought a TV, she saw air conditioners for sale in the department store. However, not only were air conditioners expensive at that time, but they were also out of stock, and she couldn't buy them without someone she knew.
After washing the pig's large intestine and stomach, you need to remove some of the lard inside so that the braised offal will taste better.
After the pig offal was prepared, Bai Zhenzhu stuffed the plate she brought into the pig's stomach, then blanched it and started to stew it.
All the ingredients have been marinated and the sign has been delivered.
The three Bai brothers hung up the sign.
The signboards of this era were very simple, just a white board with the words "Good Taste Braised Meat Shop" written in big red letters.
On the other board is the "Good Taste Restaurant".
The elder sister next door was surprised:
"Girl, you still want to open a restaurant?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Yes, the restaurant is inside the market."
"This girl is really amazing." The eldest sister said enviously.
Bai Zhenzhu: "Sister, you are amazing. Your business is really good and the noodles are delicious."
She had just eaten there this morning. This restaurant mainly sells noodles. The braised pork intestine noodles tasted good, and the elder sister gave her more pork intestines.
People these days are more down-to-earth in doing business.
After the sign was hung up and there were food tastings, more people came to see the food.
When the braised meat is taken out of the pot one by one, the aroma spreads from far away.
It was time to get off work, and many people came to the market to buy vegetables. Seeing that the braised meat in the Good Taste Braised Meat Shop was freshly taken out of the pot and was still steaming, passers-by were tempted and almost everyone bought it after trying it.
The purchase price of pig stomach and pig liver is the same, and the selling price she sets is also the same, both 7 yuan per catty.
The purchase price of pork liver is similar to that of pork head. She ordered it at 5 yuan per pound, which is considered a traffic-enhancing price.
We were just trying out the sale today, but I didn’t expect so many people would buy the pig offal, especially the pig liver, which was sold out so quickly.
She has many kinds of braised meat here, and you can also have a platter. Everyone says this is great, as you can taste all kinds of braised meat at the same price.
Some customers like braised pork soup, and Bai Zhenzhu is not stingy and pours a big spoonful of it on them.
They are also generous in rounding off the amount, and will round off any amount that is less than 50 cents.
She was good-looking and always smiling, and in just two days, she got the nickname "Braised Pork Xishi".
I heard that the braised meat shop will officially open tomorrow, and everyone said they want to come and support it.
Xiahe closed early today, so I came to the braised meat shop at around five o'clock.
Bai Zhenzhu's eyes lit up when she saw her:
"You are dressed so beautifully today, are you going on a date?"
Xia He brushed her hair, her expression somewhat helpless:
"My mom asked me to bring some braised meat to my boyfriend's house."
She didn't treat Bai Zhenzhu as an outsider, and complained casually:
"My partner and I have been dating for several years, and my mom is urging us to get married because she's afraid my partner won't marry me."
Bai Zhenzhu was puzzled. It was indeed rare for couples to date for several years without getting married, but she didn't want to ask too much.
"So do you have any plans to get married?"
Xia He snorted softly:
"I used to have it, but now it's gone. He's been lukewarm towards me since he became section chief. His family doesn't mention marriage, and I don't want to rush into it. But we've been dating for so long, it's not right for us not to get married."
In the end, she bought a braised chicken and took it away because she loved it.
