The vegetable vendors, duck vendors, and other vendors who did business with Yi Yami were all very happy to see the three members of the Yi family appear in the vegetable market again.
"Long time no see, you are finally back. Are you going to reopen this time?" Duck Lao Er asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, we have opened a shop in town, and you are welcome to visit us when the time comes!" Yiyami replied with a smile.
Duck Lao Er smiled and said, "No problem. How much duck goods do you want today?"
"Give me 38 ducks, and other duck goods, each weighing 70 kilograms or 80 kilograms." Yiyami thought for a moment.
The Yi family bought a lot of vegetables at the market.
After everything is cleaned, processed and cooked, we just wait to open the next day.
There are three kitchens, one for each family member, so they can do their own thing, which is very convenient. After the eldest and third families of Yi Lao Da finished preparing the ingredients, they also went to help the second family of Yi Lao Er prepare the ingredients.
There is strength in numbers, and we will be ready soon.
The three families all lived upstairs in the backyard. The second floor was where the adults slept, and the third floor was where the children slept.
On the second day, Yang Zeju and Yang Zifang arrived at the door of Yiji Shop early, just as the Yi family opened the door and were preparing to clean up and open for business. Yi Yami welcomed him in for tea, "Brother Yang, Master Yang, you came quite early!"
"I was just thinking about your grand opening today. I received the letter you wrote, inviting me to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I thought that if I came earlier, the ceremony could start earlier, and after it was over, I could taste your delicious food earlier. I have been thinking about it for a long time!" Yang Zeju said with a smile.
Yang Zifang began to look around the shop's layout and couldn't help but nod and praise, "Miss Xiaoyi, your shop is well decorated! It's quite charming!"
Yi Yami smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, have some tea."
The five children emerged, all dressed neatly. He Miao and the others also dressed neatly and went downstairs together. They wore red and black shorts, black trousers, and matching black cloth shoes. Clean rags hung from their waists. The words "Yi Ji" were embroidered on the chests of their clothes. Their uniform attire made them look energetic. To better distinguish themselves, the five children each wore a different colored hair accessory. Gan Gan had a small braid tied with a green hairband. Xin Xin used a red hairband to create a heart-shaped braid at the back of her head, letting the excess hair hang down. Sheng Sheng used a black hairband to tie his hair into a bun, looking like a normal little boy. Tian Tian tied her hair into a butterfly-wing bun, using a yellow hairband to tie it into a bow. Fei Fei had two pigtails, secured with a white hairband in a small bow. The other children each had their own unique look.
Yi Yami looked at the children in the row and said with a smile, "Very good, very energetic. Just like yesterday's rehearsal, after cutting the ribbon and setting off firecrackers, everyone can go back to their respective posts."
The children responded and went back to their posts.
Xinxin is responsible for taking orders and keeping accounts; Tiantian and Feifei are responsible for welcoming guests at the door; Gangan and Shengsheng are waiters; Xiaomai is now the waiter who communicates between Yi Laoer's kitchen and the living room; Daliang and Mancang are the waiters who communicate between the kitchens and the living rooms of their respective homes; Hongdou, Douya and Hemiao are free people who help wherever they are needed.
Seeing that people were arriving one after another and that it was almost time, Yi Yami gave a look to Yi Lao Er, Yi Lao Da, and Yi Lao San, and they each took three strings of firecrackers and set them off at the door. Then Yang Zeju, Yang Zifang, and Yi Yami stood under the sign, and when the firecrackers went off, the three of them pulled the red cloth off the sign together.
Wu Wa, Xiao Mai, He Miao and the others were beating drums and gongs nearby, loudly shouting, "Yi Ji Food Shop is officially open!"
As soon as the firecrackers stopped, guests began to come in one after another.
"Welcome!" Tiantian and Feifei greeted the guests at the door with sweet smiles.
"Oh my God, this place looks so beautiful for you!" Mrs. Ma took Ma Rongrong into the store, looking around as they walked in.
"Miss Xiaoyi, I want a set of braised dishes. Wait a minute, what is that braised duck? Is it a new product?" The first person to come to the cashier was a customer who had been patronizing the store for a long time. He had been waiting for a long time and finally saw that they opened, so he was the first to come into the store.
"Yes, sir, this braised duck is limited. There are only 38 servings today. You can choose to eat it here or take it away. We also provide spring rolls that can be eaten with sauce. If you need it, we also have porridge options. You can take a look here." Yi Yami responded with a smile.
"It's a new product. I want one!" the customer said excitedly.
"Okay, kitchen, give me a portion of braised duck!" Yiyami shouted.
Yi Xiaomai responded with a “OK!”
…
Yang Zeju, Yang Zifang and others were welcomed to the VIP room on the third floor, and then Yi Yami asked Douya and others to bring up some food first.
Customers kept coming in, and soon the first floor filled up. Those who filled up the first floor would move to the second floor, some willing to pay a high price for a private room. Those rooms soon filled up too. Some wealthier customers, unwilling to squeeze in, even headed for the VIP rooms on the third floor.
Yi Yami also personally went out to serve the dishes to the customers. Fortunately, they were quick and efficient. Soon, every table's order was served. The guests admired the shop's layout, the scenery outside, and ate their favorite food while chatting with their tablemates.
