Chapter 036: Braised Meat Shop Officially Opens
Bai Zhenzhu calculated in the evening. It was the second day of the trial operation. The volume increased, and new dishes such as pork tripe and pork liver were added. The net profit today was one hundred.
The store will officially open tomorrow and sales will increase again, but will probably fall back later. She estimates that it will be no problem to keep the daily profit stable at 100 yuan.
Journey to the West was playing on TV again. Bai Zhenzhu went next door to buy popsicles and melon seeds, and the whole family watched it with great interest.
After Journey to the West was over, Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang went back to sleep.
Huo Zheng called out to Bai Zhenzhu somewhat awkwardly:
"Comrade Bai, I want to take a bath."
"Sure, there's still some hot water in the pot. I'll let my third brother help you. Don't let the wound come into contact with water."
Huo Zheng was about to decline the offer when Bai Jingsi came out of the room:
"I'll help Comrade Huo down."
Bai Zhenzhu went downstairs first to add water for Huo Zheng.
When Huo Zheng came down, Bai Zhenzhu said with a smile:
"The clean clothes are in the shower room, and your dirty clothes can be placed in the basin."
Huo Zheng nodded: "Thank you."
When he got to the shower room, he saw that Bai Zhenzhu had not only prepared a sweatshirt and shorts for him, but also a pair of boxer briefs.
The clothes had all been rinsed, and the jeans and shirt he had taken off earlier had also been washed and dried.
Huo Zheng's wheat-colored skin felt a little hot: "..."
He is almost thirty years old, and no other woman except his mother has ever washed his underwear for him.
After taking a shower and washing his hair, Huo Zheng insisted on washing his dirty clothes himself.
There is a special faucet for washing clothes in the yard, which is very convenient.
Bai Jingsi checked his wound. Due to proper care, the wound did not become inflamed and healed well. The stitches could be removed in two days.
The next morning, Bai Zhenzhu and the three brothers of the Bai family got up early.
The braised meat shop officially opened today and we have a lot of stock.
Yesterday, Bai Zhenzhu asked the owner of the butcher shop to send her four pig heads, four pig livers, two pig stomachs and pig intestines, and four chickens and ducks at five o'clock.
She planned to braise more in the morning in case there wasn't enough to sell.
Zhang Minmin takes care of Shuo Shuo at home and is responsible for cooking.
Bai Zhenzhu and her friends did not eat at home. After the pig heads and intestines were braised in the pot, the four siblings went next door and each had a large bowl of braised pork ribs noodles.
We opened early today, at nine o'clock, and the first pot of chicken, duck, and pork liver was braised. There were many people buying vegetables in the morning, so we sold a lot.
Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Chenglei rode his tricycle to the bus station to pick someone up.
Hearing that Bai Zhenzhu's braised meat shop was opening today, uncle Li Zhongguo asked Bai Chenglei to take them directly to the braised meat shop.
"Uncle, Xiaojun, you are here." Bai Zhenzhu quickly wiped her hands and came out to greet them.
Li Zhongguo saw that the brothers and sisters had tidied up the shop tidyly, with meat bubbling in several large pots. He could smell the aroma of meat even when standing outside the shop, and he was happy for Bai Zhenzhu.
"Okay, okay, Pearl is a courageous person."
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said: Thanks to my brother and others for their help, otherwise I would not be able to do it alone with a child. “
Li Zhongguo nodded repeatedly: "Of course, brothers and sisters should support each other."
Li Jun was eager to try: "Sister, is there any work you need me to do?"
Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "No work, I'll just watch the fire here. Uncle Xiaojun, you guys go home with your brother to put your things away, and then go to the train station to buy the train tickets first."
Li Zhongguo nodded again and again: "Yes, buy the ticket first."
Bai Chenglei sent Li Zhongguo and his son to where he and Bai Chengxiang lived to store their luggage, and then Bai Jingsi accompanied them to the train station to buy tickets.
There are no train tickets left to Beijing today, so I bought a ticket for tomorrow afternoon at around 1:00 p.m.
Li Zhongguo sighed: "Fortunately, Zhenzhu came to Yuan County, so we have a place to stay. Zhenzhu has a good vision, and the transportation in Yuan County is much more convenient."
Bai Jingsi also agreed: "Pearl has always been very smart."
Thinking of Bai Zhenzhu's divorce, Li Zhongguo sighed deeply.
Now everyone in the village knows about it and they are saying all kinds of things.
Some even said that the Bai family deliberately instigated Bai Zhenzhu to divorce in order to get money from the Pei family.
These days, Li Xiufen and Xu Yin have been arguing with others every day and are very angry. When they came out, Bai Dahai even told them father and son not to mention these things in front of Bai Zhenzhu.
The braised meat shop was small and there was no place to sit, so Bai Jingsi took Li Zhongguo and Li Jun to a restaurant.
Zhang Minmin had to cook at noon, so he had to go back to buy groceries.
At the braised meat shop, Bai Chengxiang saw that the auspicious time had arrived, so he took out the firecrackers he had bought and cleared a piece of space to set them off.
Bai Zhenzhu mixed the peanuts, melon seeds and candies she had bought together and gave a handful to each of the adults and children watching. She laughed loudly and said:
"Dear ladies, uncles, brothers and sisters, our shop officially opens today. For the first three days, all braised food will be 20% off. Everyone is welcome to come and try it for free."
Bai Chengxiang, who was wearing an apron in the store, just took out a big braised pig's head from the pot. It was shiny and the aroma went straight into everyone's nose.
The chicken, duck and pork livers were all soaked and the two brothers took them out of the pot one by one and put them into the clean enamel tea trays.
After a while, plates of braised food were placed on the large chopping board, which made people burst into tears.
Those who haven't tasted delicious braised meat can no longer resist. This one weighs a pound of pig head, and that one weighs half a braised chicken.
Today happens to be Saturday, and most of the employees in several nearby communities are on vacation. When it comes time to buy groceries and cook, there are indeed a lot more people.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Zhenzhu closed the shop on time and went home for lunch.
Bai Chengxiang was reluctant to go back. He wanted to stay at the store by himself while Bai Chenglei and Bai Zhenzhu went back to eat.
Bai Zhenzhu packed half a braised duck, half a braised chicken, cut a pig ear, and a piece of pig cheek meat, and said:
"There's no one here now, it's good for us to go back and have a meal and rest."
Bai Chenglei knew that she was packing those things to take back home to eat, and he felt so sorry for them, as they would only fetch dozens of dollars if sold.
"Pearl, this is too much..."
Before he could finish, Bai Zhenzhu said:
"Not much. Uncle and Xiaojun finally came here. Brother, let's go home and have dinner."
Bai Chengxiang: “…”
Bai Chengxiang thought that he had never seen his sister do business like this.
Bai Zhenzhu was thinking that she had gotten up too early today. This was not a good idea. Although she could make money, her health was the most important thing.
From now on, I will get up at 6 o'clock, sleep for an extra hour, and get up at 7 o'clock when it gets cold. At worst, the morning customers will give up, and I will only sell at noon and in the afternoon.
The lunch was very sumptuous. In addition to the braised meat that Bai Zhenzhu brought back, Zhang Minmin also learned from Bai Zhenzhu to make sauerkraut fish and stir-fried chicken offal with pickled peppers.
These chicken and duck offal have become regular dishes on their table. Because they go so well with rice, no one is tired of them yet.
