Chapter 710 Buffet Lunch Stall (Additional update)
Xu Wanning came out of the yard and saw Mother Lin slaughtering four rabbits at once.
"It's a rare visit for your mother-in-law, so we can't be stingy. What's more, this rabbit is still small. Apart from the fur and bones, there is only a few ounces of meat left. Even if your mother and your eldest and second aunts are full, you have to give it to your family. Let the others bring some. Anyway, the female rabbits at home can still give birth to babies, and we don’t lack rabbit meat.”
“Okay, it’s all up to you.”
It’s too late for Xu Wanning to be so generous to her mother-in-law. Are you going to go against Mother Lin on this matter?
After Mrs. Lin prepared the rabbit soup, Xu Wanning started cooking.
She first chopped off four rabbit heads and put them in a brine pot to marinate them.
As for the rest of the rabbit, she stir-fried it with chili peppers.
The chili peppers used for frying are also very particular. They are not ordinary chili peppers, but the ones she took out quietly from the space. They are fragrant but not spicy.
Xu's mother and two aunts originally just had a taste of it, but they didn't expect rabbit meat to be so delicious.
Looking at the plate with only chili left, Xu's mother and two aunts felt a little embarrassed.
"The rabbits raised at home are still a little small, with too many bones and too little meat, and the taste is not very good. In another half month, when the rabbits have grown a lot, I will kill more and spend a day frying them. After frying, it can be kept for a while, and it can be eaten as a meal at home.
"No, no," the eldest aunt repeatedly refused, "You work and study hard enough, so you can take a good rest when you have time." It's so troublesome."
"As long as you enjoy your meal, it won't be a problem." Xu Wanning said with a smile, "My uncles and aunts are so kind to me, so it can be said that they help me. I just have to spend a few hours to fry some rabbit meat. What? This is how we should get along as a family."
Auntie wanted to say something else, but Mother Xu had already agreed.
After dinner, Xu's mother and two aunts didn't stay too long. They said a few words to Xu Wanning and left.
As soon as Mrs. Xu and the three of them left, they heard Mrs. Lin ask, "A Ning, your mother and two aunts are here to give you money, right?"
"Huh?"
"You just said yesterday that you wanted to buy land. Today they came to your door specially, and I can't think of any other reason besides giving you money." Mother Lin sighed heavily: "Logically, our family should pay for this, but I..."
"It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't make money, so..."
"Mom, please don't say that!" Xu Wanning grabbed Mother Lin's hand: "If you hadn't helped me stabilize the rear and take care of the children, where would I be? How can I be so confident to do what I want to do? Besides, I don’t want my mother’s money.”
“My own savings are enough to buy a piece of land. Don’t worry, I will only do what I can.” You won't do anything rashly."
"But..."
Xu Wanning held Mother Lin's hand tightly: "Mom, don't think about going out to find work to make money! The little money you make is not enough for the restaurant to make a day's profit. And if you are distracted, what will happen to your children? They are growing up and they need to eat three meals a day on time. I have to eat nutritiously."
"I can only leave these matters to you. Otherwise, I will have to give up my studies or work and come back to take care of the children."
After hearing this, Mother Lin said hurriedly. Don't do it! Don't worry, if Mom doesn't go out to look for work, she will take good care of the four children and the rest of the house. You, Anzi, and Tsuen Tsuen can do your own thing in peace."
"Mom, you. How lucky I am to have such a good mother-in-law. Not only does she not stop me from doing what I want to do, but she also helps me solve my worries. Mom, you are so kind."
Xu Wanning hugged Mother Lin's arm and acted coquettishly . , after saying a few words, the entanglement in Mother Lin's heart disappeared.
Seeing that Lin's mother's mood improved, Xu Wanning said, "Mom, I'm going to the restaurant."
"Come back early in the afternoon for dinner."
"I know!"
When Xu Wanning arrived at the restaurant, she found that the buffet lunch stall had been set up.
The afternoon was sunny, and there were four or five tables outside the restaurant, as well as dozens of benches, all of which were filled with people.
Dongzi is wearing a white chef's hat, holding a spoon in his hand, and is preparing food for the guests.
When he saw Xu Wanning coming, he just said hello but did not stop moving his hands.
"The meat and vegetables have been sold out today, and only the stir-fried vegetables are left. If you buy them, I will pay you two cents a portion and give you everything in the bottom of the pot."
"What about the soup? You have to give me a bowl of soup. "Right?"
"What a coincidence, the soup is gone! Let me give you an extra spoonful of rice."
After all the pots of food were sold, Dongzi dragged his exhausted body towards Xu Wanning.
"Sister-in-law, have you had lunch? Shall I ask the chef to make one for you?"
Xu Wanning shook her head: "I have already eaten. But you, I guess you are still hungry? Go have a bite to eat first, what else? Let's wait until we have a full stomach."
Dongzi was indeed exhausted, and his stomach was singing an empty city plan, so when he heard Xu Wanning's words, he didn't hesitate and turned around and entered the restaurant.
It's dinner time now, and there are a lot of guests in the restaurant. However, compared with the previous grand occasion when it was full of guests and there were people queuing up, the number of people dining in the restaurant was reduced by nearly one-third, and it didn't seem that crowded.
Dongzi grabbed a bowl of fried rice freshly baked by Chef Zhang, and hurriedly came to see Xu Wanning.
"Sister-in-law, we hurriedly and slowly set up the buffet lunch stall in time for the weekend. The business was unexpectedly good. Chef Zhang and Chef Yang cooked two batches of vegetables but couldn't sell enough."
It's only now. At half past one, judging from the daily business conditions of Xujiapu Restaurant, there is still less than half an hour before the peak dining period.
If there were a few more meals at this moment, they would all be sold.
But Chef Zhang and Chef Mao still had to take care of the guests in the restaurant, and they really couldn't do enough.
Xu Wanning knew that the business of the buffet lunch would not be bad, but she did not expect that it would be so good, completely beyond her expectations.
"Are all the people recruited in place?"
Dongzi nodded: "They are all here. I have also investigated the two people recommended by Chef Zhang and Chef Yang. They have a clean family background, and there is no big problem with their character. What about their cooking skills? , a little weaker than Chef Zhang and Chef Yang, but better than their son and apprentice, and they all have their own specialties. "
As for the waiters, Dongzi took the initiative and hired five more. They have been brought out by Xuehua. Even when they are busy, they can receive guests in an orderly manner and serve dishes. They get started quickly.
