Needless to say, the faceless Cripple Wang beat the fat woman severely when he returned home. When there was a long queue in front of Yuji Braised Vegetables shop waiting to be tasted, she limped over to get the weighed braised pork knuckle.
The fat woman squeezed to the front with her triangular eyes drooping, picked up the toothpick silently, and ate the tried varieties one by one. There were people who didn't understand the situation and queued up at the back, and they were not happy: "Line up, line up! Everyone is waiting, how can I jump in line!!"
"Get in the queue for your mother! My mother has already lined up and weighed the meat just now, and I didn't bring enough money to go home to get the money!! What are you doing? Hurrying to the funeral?!" Leaving the eyes of Cripple Wang , the fat lady returned to her overbearing and unreasonable appearance.
The person she pissed off wasn't a coward either: "Who are you talking about mourning? With your mouth, it's as if you've been photographed with a broken shoe sole. If Wang Laizi marries you, you'll be unlucky in eight lifetimes. I was thrown away by your rags! No money, what kind of meat did you buy without money? I think you are in need of cleaning up!! Where is the cripple? Your wife doesn’t care? My old lady on the hospital bed, if there is It's three longs and two shorts, it's your fat woman who cursed me, see if I don't take him to your house!!"
As soon as Wang Laizi was mentioned, the fat lady creaked silently. She took the fragrant elbow that Xiaocao handed over, and ran home in despair.
Most of the people who came to participate in the tasting activities were relatively observant of the rules of the event. After tasting the taste, they were all attracted by the taste of the dishes in the braised vegetable shop. In addition, it is half price today, and many stewed vegetables have not received the money for the raw materials yet! Most of the people who tasted it would more or less buy some stewed vegetables to go back. If it is difficult at home, it will also be called stewed tofu and kelp. Dried tofu and kelp are made from the old stew that has been stewed with pork. It has a strong meaty taste and is cheap. Buy some to satisfy your children's cravings.
Of course, there are also people who want to take advantage of it and line up with their families just to have a bite of meat dishes. The Yu family did not discriminate against such people, they warmly invited them to taste and listened carefully to their opinions, which made these people feel very embarrassed. It has to be said that most common people in this era are simple and lovely.
By noon, the tasting was over. Many people who came from the west or south of the city got the news, heard people who had tasted it say how good the stewed vegetables tasted, and regretted that their intestines were green. They hated why they didn’t take it seriously when they first heard the news and missed the free food. Opportunity. Many people went up to ask, is there still a chance to taste it for free tomorrow
In a single morning, I tasted two roast chickens, two roast ducks, two salted water ducks, four large smoked sausages... and half-pulled pork braised pork. Yu Caifeng stomped her feet in distress, berating her little niece for being a prodigal. How much is this cost? Dozens of taels of silver are all given away for nothing!
Fortunately, there are much more stewed vegetables sold today than those given away for free. Although they were all sold at almost the cost, the pigs were raised by themselves, which saved a lot of cost. Roughly speaking, there is still a slight surplus.
The next day was the official opening day. Yu Xiaocao asked my younger brother to write a new leaflet overnight, and wrote it in bold characters: Grand opening bonus, half price of dishes within three days!
This time, even my younger brother didn't understand. The gimmick of free tasting on the first day is to attract popularity to the new store. The activity on the first day was very popular, why sell it at half price for three days? How much less money will I earn in these three days
Yu Xiaocao met everyone's disapproving gazes, and explained with a smile: "Our free tasting is really effective. But Fucheng is so big. In the morning, most of the people who tasted the taste of our stewed vegetables were people nearby. You have also seen that the people from the west and south of the city are just watching from the sidelines. The three-day half-price event can attract more customers. I firmly believe that as long as you have eaten our braised vegetables, you can become our family A supporter of braised vegetables and a repeat customer!"
After taking a breath, Yu Xiaocao continued: "The chickens, ducks and geese in our store are sold in limited quantities, and the price is not low, which can cover the cost. The sales volume is relatively large, such as stewed meat and bacon, and the raw materials are The pigs raised at home. You see, today I tasted nearly half a pig for free, and there is still a surplus. Believe me, even if we sell it at half price, we can still make a profit!"
Yu Caifeng, who was the most opposed, sighed after hearing her analysis, and said, "As long as you don't lose money, you can do whatever you want! By the way, we will open tomorrow, do you want to prepare table wine and food?"
Liu Hu and Yu Hai also set their sights on Yu Xiaocao. Speaking of business, the whole family is honest and honest, and together they are not as capable as Yu Xiaocao. A twelve-year-old girl has become the backbone of the family.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, and said, "Everyone has worked hard to prepare for the opening these few days. Tomorrow at noon, let's set a table at Zhenxiu Restaurant and celebrate the opening of Yuji Braised Vegetables together!"
Yu Caifeng, who is used to thrift, has another opinion: "Zhenxiu Restaurant? How much does a table of dishes cost! We are in the catering business, and we also have roast duck, roast chicken, and all kinds of braised meat and bacon. It is a waste of money." What are you doing? Besides, there is no one else, so just celebrate with a whole table of meals in the backyard!"
The whole family thinks that they don't know many people in Fucheng, so it's just a formality to set off firecrackers and uncover the red cloth on the plaque when they open. Bar! Yu Xiaocao saw that everyone agreed with Dagu's idea, so she didn't insist anymore.
Early the next morning, before the stewed vegetable shop opened, there was a knock on the courtyard door. When he opened the door, King Yang with a dark face came in angrily. When he saw Yu Xiaocao, he gave her a scolding: "It's such a big business, don't say a word, you still have eyes. Do you have a master? If you didn’t come to Fucheng for something, I would stop by to take a look, and I didn’t know your store opened today!”
Yu Xiaocao accompanied the smiling face, and laughed dryly: "Aren't I afraid that you are a busy person and don't have time? You must know that you have come to Fucheng recently, and you have to pester you to agree to come down and unveil the plaque for us! Don't say anything!" The entire prefecture, even in the capital city, to have you, the Prince of the Little County, helping to uncover the plaque, what a great honor it is, no one else would even dare to think about it!"
"Hmph! Unveil the plaque? You are so beautiful!! I didn't inform you about the opening, but I still want you to unveil the plaque for you, dreaming!" Pay attention to Yu Xiaocao's movements. There are a few large characters written all over his body: Please, come and beg!
Manager Liu suppressed a smile, nodded solemnly and said, "Our lord has never given anyone face by unveiling a plaque for his shop. Even the dowry shop of the princess, he just went there to show his face and then came back... "
"Oh, then I have found a treasure, the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty. It is a great honor for the famous Yangjun King in front of the emperor to unveil a plaque for our little stewed vegetable shop!!" Yu Xiaocao was very pleased. Dog legs around the master.
Zhu Junyang picked up Joe: "When did the Lord agree to help you uncover the plaque? Don't be so sentimental!"
"Hey! Xiaojun Wang, I still regret that I didn't inform you of the opening of the small one! You have a lot of adults, so don't be fooled by the little one! After a few days of busy work, the little one will make a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall to honor you!" Yu Xiaocao saw The little prince's clothes were wet with dew, and he was very touched knowing that he came here overnight after getting the news. After the little prince sat down, she hurriedly offered a glass of Lingshi water to relieve fatigue, and helped him pinch his shoulders and beat his arms like a little follower.
Hearing the name of "Buddha Jumping Wall", Zhu Junyang was very interested. He shook off Yu Xiaocao's ingratiating massage, and said seriously: "Men and women are not intimate, keep a little distance! Tell me, what is Buddha Jumping Wall? Why haven't I heard you say it before?" Pass?"
Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in her heart, she really is a potential foodie, he doesn't care about a little beauty like her who is courting her, but she only thinks about her appetite, alas... Xiaojun Wang, you are so stupid, the princess must be sure Broken heart over your life's event...
"'The fragrance of fermented meat floats in the neighborhood, and the Buddha heard the abandonment and jumped over the wall.' Even the Buddha couldn't resist the temptation. Do you think the taste can be bad? However, I have never cooked this dish, so I have to think about it for a while..." Yu Xiao According to Du Niang's research in the previous life, the practice of Buddha jumping over the wall was studied, so I don't know if it can be done.
"Xiaocao, the shopkeeper of Zhenxiu Restaurant is here to congratulate!" Yu Hai didn't expect that someone other than the county prince would come to congratulate him, so he hurried forward to greet the shopkeeper.
The big shopkeeper smiled and said: "With the relationship between our two families, it is really unreasonable for you not to inform us of the opening, Brother Yu!"
Yu Hai smiled honestly, and said: "It's just a small shop, no one planned to notify at first, just my family celebrated it..."
The big shopkeeper disapproved and said: "Our third young master is in the capital and can't come back. My subordinate came to congratulate him instead, don't blame me!"
"Look at what you said!" Yu Xiaocao took care of the little county king, came over to show her face, and said with a smile, "Uncle shopkeeper, you are now the manager of Zhenxiu Restaurant, and many noble people in Beijing will look at you highly, can you Come on, our Braised Vegetables Shop is really full of splendor! Please come inside, Little Shitou, and make the good tea you bought a few days ago for the shopkeeper!”
Xiao Shitou promised, and invited the big shopkeeper to the backyard, where he served him with good tea and snacks. After a while, Xiao Shitou's good classmates Sun Runze and Liu Jinye also brought their father to celebrate.
One of them is the master of the magistrate's yamen, and the other is the boss of the largest silk and satin shop in Fucheng, and they can be regarded as having some status in Fucheng. Xiaoshi hurriedly invited people in. When the two saw the big shopkeeper of Zhenxiu Restaurant, they were slightly surprised. It seemed that the Yu family still had a bit of a reputation in front of the Zhou family.
Then, what surprised them even more was that the magistrate even condescended to congratulate them in person. The magistrate came here only after receiving the news of the arrival of the king of Yangjun. For the opening of the Yu family's small stewed vegetable shop, Yangjun Wang rushed here overnight, which shows that he is not normal to the Yu family. It is said that the prince of the county even asked for a reward for the Yu family in the court hall!
