Chapter 352 Business is booming
Wen Ji’s stewed pork started boiling suddenly, and the crowds of onlookers also started to gather around suddenly.
All regular customers know that they have to bring their own bowl when buying things from this restaurant.
The old man who was squeezed in the front was even more so. He looked at the rosy and fragrant braised meat and swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh, I didn't bring a bowl again!"
Luo Meihua had experience and immediately took a bowl from the side. "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you don't bring a bowl. We have prepared a bowl here. You can leave a two-cent deposit. When you bring the bowl to us next time, we will return the deposit to you. This bowl costs at least three or four cents outside, so we will rent it to you for two cents."
"Rent it to us? Is that possible?" the old man was surprised.
Luo Meihua smiled and said, "Why not? Just bring it here whenever you are on your way, and I will keep it and return the deposit to you."
Luo Meihua held up the bottom of the bowl to show the old man and everyone, "I won't mix it with the ones at home when I take it back. There are words on the bottom of our bowls."
As she picked up the bottom of the bowl to show everyone, she saw the four big words "Wen Ji Lu Zhu" printed on the bottom of the bowl.
This was also the idea that Gu Qingqing came up with. It was really a pity to miss out on a business deal because of a packaging tool.
Since the business is not for her, she will be the business.
Before the shop opened, she had ordered a batch of bowls for today's situation. She didn't care if they took the bowls back or not, because she didn't lose money anyway.
Besides, since the other party came to return the bowl, would he buy some braised food to take back with him?
"Come on, give some! Hey, what's the price now?" someone spoke in the crowd.
Luo Meihua smiled and said, "The landlord is very wealthy. It used to be seven cents a spoonful. Now that we have rented a shop, the price has increased by one cent, to eight cents a spoonful."
When people around me heard that the price had only increased by one cent, they knew that the price was absolutely right without even having to weigh it carefully.
"Come on, give me a spoonful of soup. I haven't eaten it for a long time. It's so delicious!"
The old man handed over ten cents as he spoke. Luo Meihua took it, took a look at it, put it in a wooden box beside her, scooped a full spoonful of water into the bowl and handed it to the other party.
"Uncle, I charged you two cents more today. Bring our bowl back next time and I'll return the money to you."
"Okay."
"Oh, we have braised chicken this time, how much do you sell it for?"
"A braised chicken is 25 cents. These chickens are specially raised on the hillside. Don't be fooled by their small size. They run on the hillside every day, so their meat is tender and not dry at all." Lu Xiaocao introduced from the side. When she finished speaking, her feet were so nervous that they almost made a big hole in the ground.
Gu Qingqing asked them to divide the work and cooperate with each other, with one person mainly responsible for adding water to the water. It is very important to be the chef in charge of adding water to the water. Too much or too little will not do. Luo Meihua has experience.
Braised chicken is easy to make, all you have to do is give one to the customers or help chop it into pieces.
As for what Lu Xiaocao just said, it was also taught by Gu Qingqing. After all, Xiaocao is not as experienced as Meihua.
In order to exercise Xiaocao, the children Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei at home have to act as "guests" less often during this period.
"Haha, then I'd like to try something new." The man who came was obviously rich. He bought a braised chicken, a spoonful of offal, dried tofu, peanuts, and bamboo shoots, and together they totaled fifty cents. He also gave the other person a spoonful of peanuts and dried tofu.
Lu Xiaocao was a little nervous at first, but after attending the meeting and receiving a few people, she became more serious.
Outside, Dahua and Erhua were moving among the crowd. When they saw people not queuing, they would smile and walk up to them, calling them uncle or aunt, and then help them queue up.
The two little girls looked very pretty today. All the people in the town were lined up obediently under their guidance.
Zhao Dong and his friends were squatting not far away, looking at this side happily to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Sanhua is with Shengxi, and Gu Qingqing is standing not far away. She will not come over unless there is any big problem.
"Hahaha, I've wasted all this time today. You already have such a long queue here?"
Gu Qingqing turned her head when she heard the voice and saw that the person coming was none other than the owner of the liquor store next door. He had come to visit her shop when she was renovating it.
"Hello, old man." Gu Qingqing greeted the other party first, then pointed at the crowd and said, "These are some old customers who have tried my braised food and came to show their support today after knowing that we are reopening."
As she spoke, the old man looked up at the plaque on the door of the shop. Then he opened his eyes wide and said with surprise, "Wen's braised pork? Is your Wen's braised pork the same one as the one on the front street last year?"
Ouch, Gu Qingqing's eyes widened. She didn't expect that her neighbor was actually a former fan of her family.
She showed a slightly surprised look and said, "Uncle, have you eaten there before? It's fate. We were there last year, but I didn't come to town later. It was my neighbor from the village who came here instead of me. Look over there. Does she look familiar?"
Gu Qingqing said this and raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Luo Meihua.
The old man looked over there, and when he saw Luo Meihua, he burst into laughter, "That's her."
The signal connection was successful. Gu Qingqing asked with a smile, "There are a lot of people here now. Do you want your children to queue for you? When you get there, you can go over and see what we have here?"
As a result, the old man laughed and waved his hands after hearing this, "No trouble, no trouble, I have nothing to do right now. It just so happens that I know those people over there, so I'll go with them."
The old man was willing to queue up by himself, so Gu Qingqing was naturally happy to do so. Then she saw the old man go to the end of the line and waved towards his own shop. The shop assistant came and left, and then brought two bowls over.
Today was the first day, and although Gu Qingqing had prepared a lot of things, most of them were still bought by this group of people. Some of them were old customers who had tasted her braised food, so they were not stingy when it came to ordering.
Look, she had originally thought that she could sell enough until the afternoon, but before noon she saw Luo Meihua waving at her anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, we only have these peanuts and two chickens left. Everyone here wants to get in. It's still early today. Do you think we can make them in time?" Luo Meihua never lost her smile. Now that she had nothing to sell, she was a little anxious.
Gu Qingqing was so happy watching the cleaning scene. Under the expectant eyes of her family, she shook her head and said, "Forget it. You know how time-consuming it is to stew all this. Besides, the water hasn't been delivered yet. If you want to stew, you need ingredients!"
As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, Luo Meihua pointed behind her and said, "Sister-in-law, look, that's coming."
Gu Qingqing turned her head and saw that it was the son of the owner of the butcher stall in the west of the town who was driving the car.
Gu Qingqing suspected that Meihua had seen it first and did it on purpose. She glared at her and said, "You are here but you don't do anything. Go to the backyard and wash the pots. We will pack up and go home. Today is the first day, we have to reward ourselves."
After saying this, Gu Qingqing went to get the pigs to drain.
"Sister Wen, today is the first day of opening. I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money!"
"Thank you very much. How many paintings will be launched today?" Gu Qingqing walked forward and asked.
"According to what you said yesterday, we kept two pig heads today and put four down into the water. We also brought you four pig tails." After the other party said this, Gu Qingqing knew that they had killed four pigs today.
