Chapter 71 I dare not think deeply
When a pot of maocai was served on the table, everyone's nose twitched.
Xu Yin drooled directly:
"Pearl, this looks red and wavy, is it spicy?"
Bai Zhenzhu took a pair of chopsticks and said:
"Try the taste."
He also asked Shuo Shuo to go next door and call Zhang Hongying's two sons to come and eat together.
The two boys were not polite either. They had smelled the aroma at home and were drooling with greed.
After taking a bite, the eldest and second son praised it:
"Miss Bai, your dish is so delicious."
Bai Zhenzhu asked him, "Do you think it's spicy?"
The eldest and second son waved their hands:
"It's not spicy, but it's very fragrant. Even the pakchoy I don't like has become delicious."
His brother was so busy eating that he didn't even have time to talk.
The main target customer group of the maocai at No. 1 Middle School is students. The white pearls in this pot have less chili and the proportion of non-spicy bean paste is increased.
Liu Fang made this bean paste herself and it is very fragrant.
Li Yueshu was also surprised:
"I didn't expect that these common vegetables could taste so good when cooked with pearls."
Liu Fang: "Zhenzhu, will this maocai be sold in the restaurant tomorrow?"
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Sure. The bamboo baskets I ordered will arrive tomorrow, and the vegetable racks will also be delivered tomorrow. My eldest and second brothers should already know how to make it. This dish is very simple."
Bai Chengxiang: "Pearl, what's the price?"
Bai Zhenzhu thought about it and decided that since maocai can be anything, there is no need to be too troublesome about setting the price.
"It's one dollar a bowl at No. 1 Middle School." Bai Zhenzhu said, "The restaurant makes a bigger portion, two dollars a portion."
Then everyone discussed how to make maocai dishes.
The next morning when Mei Xiu Lian delivered the dishes, Bai Zhenzhu mentioned to her the matter of opening a maocai restaurant and asked her to deliver the dishes from No. 1 Middle School in the future.
Mei Xiu Lian was so grateful that she didn't know what to do.
Since she started supplying vegetables to Bai Zhenzhu's restaurant, her family's business has improved a lot, and life has become more promising for the family.
The maocai restaurant took another day to clean up before reopening.
Bai Chengxiang got up early in the morning to braise the meat. After it was done, he packed it into two pots and took them directly to the maocai restaurant.
The base ingredients are fried in the restaurant and then brought over. Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang fry a pot each time, and it can be used several times.
Xu Yin's younger brother and sister-in-law were washing and cutting vegetables, soaking vermicelli and black fungus, etc. in the store.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Bai Zhenzhu came over.
Today was the first day, and she was worried about the soup base of the maocai restaurant, so she came over personally to supervise the preparation.
The soup base is made from pork bones, and once the aroma comes out, the whole street is filled with fragrance.
The tall and strong man next door was the first customer in the store. He ordered half a pound of braised pork head, half a braised chicken, and two bowls of maocai.
The school was not over yet, so the couple took the maocai back to their own restaurant to eat.
The man laughed:
"I can finally change my taste."
I'm tired of the food in his own restaurant. The food in other restaurants tastes so-so, not as good as his.
Now, a maocai restaurant opened next door, and the spicy smell kept getting into his nose.
His wife nodded:
"Dip the pork head in chili powder. What genius came up with this idea? It's so delicious."
The maocai restaurant was doing a booming business at noon. A bowl of maocai cost one dollar and it contained vermicelli, and the soup was enough for an adult.
And the fragrance is really tempting.
Not to mention the students, even several teachers from the school came.
There was no room to sit in the restaurant, so some boys took their bowls and squatted outside to eat.
Later, the owner of the wonton shop next door sent two tables and a few stools and placed them on the roadside, which alleviated the situation a little.
Bai Zhenzhu saw the big man put down the table and left, and thought to herself that this man was obviously not fierce at all.
At noon on the first day, Bai Zhenzhu made a rough calculation.
There were eight tables, with four people at each table. The tables were turned over almost three times, and nearly ninety bowls were sold in total.
She was very glad that she bought more bowls and chopsticks, otherwise they would not be enough.
All the dishes were sold out, so Bai Zhenzhu called Mei Xiu Lian to send another batch of dishes over.
I called Guo Yongliang again and asked him to send over two sets of tables and chairs.
There’s no more room in the store, so we’ll pile them up in the corner first.
Bai Zhenzhu went to return the tables and chairs from the store next door.
"Thank you, big brother and big sister. From now on, you can enjoy 20% off on all braised meat."
The big man said in a fierce and aggressive voice:
"It's no big deal."
His wife smiled at Bai Zhenzhu and said:
"Sister, business is booming."
Bai Zhenzhu looked at the couple's expressions and could not see any jealousy at all.
The maocai restaurant was doing a booming business at noon today, which must have affected other stores.
Especially the wonton shop next door, business is obviously not good.
Bai Zhenzhu was confused and asked:
"Sister, don't you think my family affects your business?"
The eldest sister laughed loudly:
"What's the matter? This is called the law of fate."
"Just like your previous restaurant, the taste was not good and was outdone by my restaurant. Now your restaurant tastes good and outdone us. Isn't this normal?"
As he spoke, he began to teach Bai Zhenzhu about business:
"Sister, my family is not afraid of your family opening a maocai restaurant. Your maocai is delicious, but those students can't eat it every day."
"I would be worried if your family also opened a wonton noodle restaurant."
"Your business is good, and the braised meat is delicious. Maybe you can attract people from the neighborhood to come over for dinner. Wouldn't that benefit us as well?"
Bai Zhenzhu felt warmed at heart when she heard this.
People like to join in the fun, such as the comprehensive market at the train station and the department store. Because they are of a certain scale, people will go to these two places if they want to buy something.
If there is a street full of delicious food, will people think of this place first when they go out to eat in the future?
This thought gently settled in Bai Zhenzhu's mind.
She didn't dare to think too much about it because she didn't have any strength at all at the moment.
"Sister, you are absolutely right. I wish all of us good business."
"Haha, everyone gets rich."
Business is also good in the evening. Two large pots are used to cook food, and the dishes are served quite quickly.
After the students finished eating, Bai Chengxiang cooked four servings and cut some braised meat, and everyone had dinner together.
After dinner, Bai Chengxiang wanted to settle the score with Bai Zhenzhu, but Bai Zhenzhu refused to give in.
"Second brother, just like the braised meat shop, let's settle the bill monthly. Brother Dong and sister-in-law's salary can be deducted from the profit."
Bai Chengxiang didn't say anything else. It was settled monthly, which made the accounts easier to settle.
He didn't calculate the total, but he estimated that the maocai restaurant had a turnover of about 200 yuan that day, including the braised pork sold.
Xu Dong and Wang Juan were left to clean up, while Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Chengxiang returned to the train station.
After Xu Dong and Wang Juan finished cleaning up, they went straight back to Furong Community.
It takes about twenty minutes to walk from Furong Community to No. 1 Middle School.
Bai Zhenzhu told Bai Chengxiang to buy a second-hand bicycle for Xu Dong and the others to ride so that they could travel conveniently.
Bai Chengxiang said he would take care of this small matter and told Bai Zhenzhu not to worry about it.
Bai Zhenzhu has been really busy lately and hasn’t been to the clothing store much.
Fortunately, Li Yueshu was very motivated after taking over, and business has been good recently.
