Chapter 48: Let's talk about it after we have enough of our own beauty
After resting for a while, Bai Zhenzhu went to the kitchen to check. All the other dishes were still available, but the chicken was almost sold out.
Bai Chenglei went to the market and asked the boss to pack five chickens and send them over.
Liu Fang looked at the receipt for the order and said in surprise:
"Pearl, your idea is really good. Almost all the customers at the tables ordered big plate chicken at noon, and quite a few ordered pickled fish."
Bai Zhenzhu made a big plate of chicken for the whole afternoon and she had a good idea of what she was doing.
"Yes, so when you open a restaurant, you need to not only have good food, but also be innovative."
It seems that I need to think of some new dishes later.
It was still early, so Bai Zhenzhu went into the kitchen to stew the braised pork. This time, Liu Fang tried to fry the sugar color, and it was very successful.
"Sister-in-law gets the hang of it quickly. You can make this braised pork directly from now on."
Liu Fang was a little embarrassed:
"You've done it many times."
Bai Zhenzhu has made this dish at home before. The key is to fry the sugar color. The braised pork made by Bai Zhenzhu is always shiny and red, melts in the mouth, and looks tempting.
There were two people in the kitchen and the food was prepared very quickly.
Bai Zhenzhu took some time to call home.
This time it was Li Xiufen who answered the phone. She was extremely happy to hear that the restaurant had opened and was doing good business.
She also said that after the beans and sweet potatoes at home were harvested, she would ask the bus to Yuan County to bring some over. The mother and daughter chatted for one minute and fifty-nine seconds before hanging up.
Business in the evening is better than that at noon.
Big plate chicken is the most popular dish. Everyone seems to come here for it, especially after the first plate of big plate chicken is served. Later diners who come into the restaurant will almost order it as soon as they see it.
Nowadays, people who eat out in restaurants generally have plenty of money.
Moreover, no one has to rush to work at night, so some men who invite colleagues or leaders to dinner will most likely order some braised meat and beer.
By the time the last table of guests paid the bill and left, it was almost ten o'clock.
Seeing Xu Yin also helping to clean up, Bai Zhenzhu said to Xu Yin:
"Second sister-in-law, go back and rest early."
Liu Fang also smiled and said:
"That's right, Yinyin, we have enough manpower here, don't get tired while you're pregnant."
Xu Yin wiped the table and said nonchalantly:
"What's so tiring about this? Didn't we work this hard when we were at home? We worked in the fields during the day and at home at night."
She hadn't said anything rude yet, she wanted to do it in bed after getting in.
Xu Yin got married relatively early, at the age of 28, which was the prime of her life.
Bai Zhenzhu said to Liu Fang:
"Once the restaurant business is on track, we will have a much easier time. We will go buy a pressure cooker later. It will make it easier to make big plate chicken and serve the food faster."
Liu Fang nodded: "Listen to my sister."
After packing up, the eldest, second and third brothers went back to the Xingfu Community to sleep.
Bai Zhenzhu locked the rolling door and suddenly remembered that Bai Jingsi and her family had not returned yet. They should have been back in the afternoon.
Did I miss the bus and have to come back tomorrow?
She was about to go upstairs with Shuo Shuo when someone knocked on the rolling door.
Zhang Minmin's voice came from outside:
"Pearl open the door, we are back."
Shuo Shuo was very happy:
"It's my third aunt."
He especially likes his third aunt. No, he also likes his first and second aunts. He likes all aunts and uncles.
His eldest aunt would make delicious food for him, and his second aunt would take him to settle accounts with the bad kids who bullied him.
After opening the door, they saw Zhang Minmin and the other two standing at the door. There was a three-wheeled truck carrying goods parked outside, and the snakeskin bags piled on the truck were taller than a person.
White Pearl was startled:
"Third sister-in-law, are you moving the lotus pond back?"
After saying that, he quickly helped unload the goods.
Three full bags of clothes, no wonder you came back so late.
Zhang Minmin was so excited:
"Zhenzhu, I bought autumn clothes for my parents, my brothers and sisters-in-law, the children, and you and Shuo Shuo. They are so beautiful. I'm sure you will like them."
Bai Zhenzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Third sister-in-law, your shop isn't open yet, let's put it on first."
Zhang Minmin: "There is no rush to make money. We should wait until our family is beautiful enough. The main thing is that it is cheap."
Dong Juan was also very happy: "The clothes in Lianhuachi are really cheap. This girl spent all her money, leaving only enough money for the bus fare."
This purchase of goods used up all the money in the family, and I had to go back and borrow some money from others to decorate the clothing store.
White Pearl suddenly remembered:
"Miss Dong, haven't you eaten yet?"
Bai Jingsi was not shy either:
"We just haven't eaten yet. Pearl, please make us some noodles. It's just something to eat."
Bai Zhenzhu immediately rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen:
"You guys sit down and rest first, it will be ready soon, and there's some food left over from tonight."
There was still some braised meat left, and Bai Zhenzhu moved quickly. She heated up the oil in a wok and soon brought out two dishes and a soup.
A large plate of stir-fried pork head with green peppers, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and tomato and egg soup.
The three of them were really hungry, and Zhang Minmin ate without any image:
"This pork head is also delicious when fried with green pepper and celery. It goes really well with rice."
Bai Zhenzhu turned on the ceiling fan for them and said with a smile:
"I just stir-fried it randomly. If it tastes good, I'll add it to the menu tomorrow."
Dong Juan nodded: "It's really delicious, a different taste."
Bai Zhenzhu took the chopsticks and took a bite. It was indeed quite good.
Seeing Shuo Shuo yawning, Zhang Minmin said:
"Hurry up and take Shuo Shuo to bed. We'll clean up after we finish eating."
Dong Juan also urged her: "Go to bed quickly, the children are sleepy."
Bai Zhenzhu didn't stay with her and went upstairs to sleep.
It was only after breakfast the next day that she had time to calculate yesterday's income.
After deducting costs, the net profit is about 160.
It’s a good start.
When Bai Jingsi and the others got up, Liu Fang and Bai Chenglei had already prepared the dishes for lunch, and the braised pork and spare ribs were already stewing.
Liu Fang gave each of them a bowl of noodles.
Zhang Minmin was very curious:
"Zhenzhu, how is your Xinjiang Dapanji selling?"
White Pearl smiled and said:
"It's pretty good. Almost everyone who comes into the store orders it."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhenzhu asked Bai Chenglei to buy a few large enamel tea trays and ceramic basins, because there were many large portions of dishes in the restaurant and the tea trays were not enough.
Bai Chenglei also went to the steamed bun shop to buy steamed buns. The restaurant bought in large quantities, so the boss charged him a lower price.
Today, someone helped to prepare food, so Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi went to the department store and bought all the spotlights needed for the clothing store. The money could only be borrowed from Bai Zhenzhu first.
She also bought a pressure cooker.
Business was good at noon. Two people came into the store just at eleven o'clock and asked for big plate chicken.
The Good Taste Restaurant has a dish from Xinjiang that has become famous in the market, and some people can't help but come to try it.
Bai Zhenzhu knew that this dish was very popular, so she asked the chicken shop owner to send six chickens and two ducks over yesterday morning.
Thanks to the pressure cooker, the serving speed of big plate chicken is twice as fast, the table can be turned over faster, and it is also much easier for the chef.
Zhang Minmin helped to clear the table and greet guests, Dong Juan helped to wash the dishes, and the family was busy.
As expected, Xia He came with her mother again and ordered pickled fish and braised duck with young ginger.
