There were still three days left, but someone brought food before dawn the next day. Ren Da accepted the food in a daze. Looking at so many dishes, he asked:
"Our family can't eat so much, right?"
"And there's no need for us to eat it so well."
Meng Li said: "I plan to give it away for free."
Ren Da: "..."
deliver
The look in his eyes as he looked at the dishes was extremely distressed, and Meng Li said, "Just listen to my arrangements."
Ren Da: "... OK."
Meng Li woke up the children, and then everyone started working in the kitchen. Meng Li did not intend to keep cooking skills a secret, and she hoped that both the children and Ren Da would learn it.
Teach them while doing it and explain it to them in detail.
In order to explain that I can cook all kinds of dishes, I took Ren Da out to eat a lot before. He said that he was learning from his master, but in fact it was just to explain the source of his knowledge.
In addition, the boss who provides the dishes will also tell you what dishes should be cooked and how to make them delicious, and will give suggestions. Meng Li wants to bring out the boss when he really can't explain, saying that he has taught well.
Ren Da and his family are convinced of this. After all, sometimes when eating out, you can roughly guess how the dish is made after eating it once. It's just that my wife is more keen in this regard.
After spending a whole morning's work, Meng Li made some signature dishes and deliberately arranged them in some shapes, or carved shapes out of melons and fruits to put on the plate, making the dishes look more exquisite.
When it was almost noon, Meng Li asked Ren Da and his two sons to carry the dishes to the door and invite passers-by to taste them.
But it's only for tasting, and you can't dine in today. If you want to eat, you have to wait until it's officially opened.
Meng Li also told Ren Da a detail, that is, he asked them to take the initiative to find people who want to taste the dishes, and take the initiative in their own hands, instead of everyone taking the initiative to taste the dishes for cheap.
Ren Da said: "I know how to do this. I just try to make sure that I take the initiative to shout to the people who taste it, instead of them coming in a swarm?"
Meng Li nodded: "Yes, only in this way can there be order and the atmosphere looks harmonious. If they take the initiative, we will look like giving away and lose our momentum. They will forget about it after eating, or it will be chaotic." Breaking the rules and looting."
In fact, this city is developing very well and is very prosperous. There are not many people who lack food and clothing. Most ordinary people are in good condition and they don't rush to grab food when they see it. On the contrary, this happened in the small town over there in my hometown. The probability of something happening is higher.
Ren Da nodded: "I understand, even if someone comes to ask me for it, I have to wait for a while, busy with others first, and then take the initiative to give it to him later, right?"
Meng Li smiled: "That's it."
"But you just gave away so many dishes?" Ren Da felt like he was suffocating with pain.
These dishes are not ordinary dishes, most of them are meat, or some more expensive dishes, which are favored by others anyway. Of course, if they are particularly ordinary, others will not stop to taste them.
Meng Li said: "Don't worry about the things in front of you. The price is negotiated cheaply by the vegetable boss, and it won't cost much. Besides, this is for future business. Do you believe me, okay?"
"Stop questioning my decision, okay? I'm very confident at the moment, don't hit me."
"Mom is right, Dad, don't always question Mom. If others try our dishes, we will leave a good impression on them, and many people will come to support us when we open."
"It's better than opening a business in obscurity like this." Er Yatou hurriedly said from the side, with a smile on her face.
Ren Da nodded: "That's good."
"I'll just listen to you."
Meng Lixiao, Ren Da has been poor all his life. It is a bit embarrassing for him to suddenly ask him to deliver so much, but this is also training him. This small investment is nothing now. The most important thing is to attract customers through these things. .
The second girl said, "Are you going with just dad and brothers?"
Meng Li nodded, and the two girls hesitated to speak. Finally, they said to Meng Li: "Mom, if you have more people and helpers, I'll go too."
"No need." Meng Li refused, and she said, "You are a woman, so try to show as little publicity as possible."
"I don't care about this." The second girl said, "I didn't say I would bring my third sister with me, just me and my father."
Meng Li looked at the second girl with a smile and said, "You are a good boy who listens to your mother."
The second girl said stubbornly: "Only Miss Qianjin doesn't need to show up in public. What's wrong with me being like this? I really don't care. I just want to help my mother make her life better. Now that I'm out, I never want to go back." ”
"It will have an impact on your marriage." Meng Li said calmly.
The second girl snorted: "If we don't get rich, it will have an impact on my marriage. If my family is poor, I will have to marry a poor family. I hope to get rich and marry a good family."
"Mom, just promise me, I won't call you Third Sister, I'll go out alone." She acted coquettishly.
Meng Li also didn't expect that the little girl who was once sharp-tongued could now act coquettishly towards her.
She was a little moved and said to the second girl: "If you insist on doing this, I won't say anything, but don't regret it in the future and say that I let my daughter appear in public just to get rich."
"No, no, I'm not a wealthy lady. I've been out and about a lot these days. Many women my age are also helping in my parents' shop. They're not as particular as you, mother."
Meng Li smiled: "Okay, it's up to you."
I didn't expect my two daughters to show up in public. I just wanted to avoid it if possible, because it was not necessary for them to show up in public to make money. But the second girl liked to participate, so she let her go.
Everyone has different personalities. The second girl is generous and willing to greet guests, while the third girl is shy and only wants to hide in and do some chores.
"Yeah, we need to hire a bookkeeper!" Meng Li suddenly thought of such a serious question.
Although I know how to read and do accounting, I don’t have this skill among my family members. If the whole family can’t read and do accounting, we have to hire someone. The business will be opened in two days. We need to hire people in place, otherwise who will do the accounting?
Second girl: "..."
Ren Da: "..."
Hire someone
Meng Li originally wanted to check out the free tasting of dishes and see the public's satisfaction and intentions. Who knew there would be such a thing? It seemed like she would have to delay some time in the afternoon. She said to Ren Da:
"Just take the second girl and two sons outside the door to invite people to taste the dishes. Don't ask anyone to eat too much."
"I understand these." Ren Da said.
"I have to go out for a while," Meng Li said.
Ren Da said: "Are you going out alone?"
Meng Lixiao: "Then you don't take the children to do the things in the store? You are now the shopkeeper, so you must speak and act appropriately."
