Chapter 163 Busy
The grocery shopping was in a hurry this time, so Mr. Zhao went straight to the county market.
I hurriedly bought a cart full of vegetables.
Lu Ming watched the baskets of vegetables being moved into the kitchen, and quickly mixed in the cabbage and peppers he had just picked up.
When I bought it back, I was about to catch up with the restaurant in the afternoon.
The slightly idle kitchen was busy again.
Li Yuebai picked up a cabbage and said, "Second sister-in-law, there are cabbages like this here too!"
This delicious Chinese cabbage is easy to recognize. Not only is it bigger, but the color is also more beautiful.
Li Xiuxiu turned around and took a look in her busy schedule, "There should be other big ones, pick them out first."
This kind of fried Chinese cabbage will be more expensive than ordinary stir-fried vegetables.
At noon, there were people trying new things and wanting to know the difference between the more expensive ones.
It was really different after eating it. It smelled even better, which attracted the customer next door to order a plate as well.
In this way, the reputation was established, and the dishes were sold out in one round.
Boss Zhao and Wu Yang brought the vegetables in. Fortunately, there was a back yard, so they didn't have to carry the vegetables from the front hall.
Zhao Laoer wore a handkerchief around his neck and wiped the sweat from his face from time to time.
There are more people in the afternoon than at noon.
People waiting in line blocked the entrances of other shops along the street.
"Sister-in-law, third brother and sister, some customers outside said that they can eat outside if there are extra tables."
"Are you moving out?"
Li Yuebai raised his head and said, "There are three empty tables left. Can they be placed outside?"
Zhao Laoer wiped his sweat and said, "It can be accommodated. The shopkeeper of the candy shop diagonally opposite said that we can put the table over there first. It is an empty shop and has not been decorated yet."
"There are too many people outside."
There’s room for it, but you also have to consider whether it’s too late to serve the food.
Li Xiuxiu's hands were already sore from exhaustion.
"Three tables
I can't afford it, only two tables at most. "
The guests outside could wait, so Zhao Laoer immediately responded and moved the tables.
Since the opening, everyone has been busy.
Only Mrs. Zhao and a few younger children were left.
Zhao Yicha ate the snacks that Boss Zhao bought, "Nai, you really don't need our help?"
Mrs. Zhao hesitated. She really wanted to help, but there were so many children who needed to be watched.
Zhao Yicha and Zhao Nanzhou were obedient and would not cause trouble.
The two brothers, Sun Bozong and Sun Boyao, couldn't live without each other and were jumping up and down in the room.
"If this happens every day, it will definitely be too much to bear."
I told people in the village before that I have a large family and I don’t need to hire anyone to open a small restaurant.
This was a slap in the face on the first day.
Mrs. Zhao was happy and worried at the same time.
After a busy day, you will definitely be exhausted tomorrow, and you will be busy again tomorrow.
She was also thinking about how to invite people. She wanted to invite the Niu family, but she didn't know if anyone from the Niu family would be willing to come.
Until the sun was about to set, almost all the shops on Willow Street were closed.
There are gradually fewer people in Wuweizhai.
After sending away the last table of guests, there was no one on Willow Street.
Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao San were slumped on their stools.
They spent the whole day milling about the front room, refilling tea, ordering food, and so on.
You also have to take care of the emotions of the customers in line.
Afraid of waiting for guests to get hungry, give some snacks and tea.
Both legs were too tired to walk.
Li Xiuxiu rubbed her arms and grimaced.
"I really didn't expect so many people. I feel like I cooked at least eighty or ninety tables today."
Zhao Mianmian was also very tired.
"Three jars of sauerkraut have already used up one jar."
"The sauce tofu has been sold out."
“鱼
It’s gone. Thirty fish were sold today. "
“The most ordered fish is pickled fish.”
Zhao Changan, who had been washing dishes and chopsticks all day, said, "I can't finish washing, I can't finish washing at all."
Zhao Miaomiao ordered the remaining ingredients in the same manner.
The last bit of ingredients left in the kitchen is enough to stir-fry a whole table of dishes.
The last small piece of pork was left. He Sutong said while cutting the meat, "I remember, we bought the meat of a whole pig?"
Li Yuebai nodded, "Yes, there are five chickens and five ducks."
"It's all sold out, this is the last bit of meat."
Li Xiuxiu shook her arm and picked up the spatula.
My family has been tired for a whole day and they haven’t had a good meal yet.
Boss Zhao asked: "Are you going to buy so many ingredients tomorrow?"
There was a replenishment at noon today, but since it was the first time it opened, there might not be so many people in the next few days.
Li Yuebai took the menu and studied it to see which ones the customers ordered the most.
"I need to buy more tomorrow. Don't worry, brother, there will only be more customers tomorrow, not less."
"Ah?" Zhao Laoer suddenly sat upright, "Will there be more?"
Li Yuebai said, "Today only people from the neighborhood came to eat, and many wealthy businessmen in the county left first when they saw the crowd. If they don't come tomorrow, they will have to come the day after tomorrow."
"Brother Chen came to open the restaurant today and stayed in the restaurant for a long time."
"Those wealthy businessmen will not miss this opportunity to marry Brother Chen."
"Not only do you want to come, but you will also come to find out more about us."
Zhao Laoer sighed again. He had been pried on many times when entertaining guests today, both covertly and overtly.
Some guests forced him to sit down and drink with him, asking questions.
Zhao Laosan was silent for a while, "Father, mother, should we invite someone?"
Zhao
The old man was making calculations.
After turning over the last page of the ledger, Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Exactly ten taels of silver."
"Except the four taels of silver spent on the ingredients in the beginning."
"I made six taels of silver today."
"The bulk of the ingredients is still rice and noodles, and there is still a lot left in the store."
Zhao Changan jumped up suddenly, "So many!"
Zhao Changfu and Zhao Yigui went to look at the account books.
Mr. Zhao gave up his position to the two of them and also gave up his abacus.
"Come on, let's do the math."
Zhao Changfu was talking about counting, while Zhao Yigui was making calculations.
The two of them cooperated and calculated quickly.
Zhao Yigui also exhaled, "Ten taels of silver, exactly ten taels of silver."
Zhao Changan immediately ran to the backyard to tell the good news to Zhao Mianmian and Li Xiuxiu who were cooking at home.
Li Yuebai finished reading the ordering menu and said, "I'll buy more fish and tofu tomorrow. Of all the soups, chicken soup is the most ordered."
"Buy more peppers and cabbage."
Many of the fish in restaurants today are brought from water tanks at home.
Lu Ming caught fish in the Lingquan space and secretly put them in.
There is a lot of water here, and there are also a lot of fish. Most people in Jiangcheng County like to eat fish.
Among meats, fish is the most popular.
Boss Zhao wrote down what Li Yuebai said, and he would have to go buy groceries tomorrow.
"Fish is easy to buy. I'll go to Niu's house and the village chief's house first to ask."
The river in Lihua Village is quite easy to catch fish.
At least every household can catch the fish they want.
Zhao Changfu rubbed his hands and said, "I will go to the river to catch more and deliver them to our restaurant."
The children of the Zhao family are very good at catching fish, and the fish seem to have eyes and will hit the people of the Zhao family.
There are no skills, it all depends on the fish coming to you on their own initiative.
Wu
Yang's stomach growled with hunger. He didn't expect that opening a shop would be so tiring.
"Uncle, call me tomorrow and I will go back to live with you tonight."
Boss Zhao patted Wu Yang on the shoulder. The child had also been running around all day today.
