Chapter 39 Small Fish Hot Pot
Time flies.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.
This year, Wang Chong was eighteen years old.
Although he and Guo Yueluo have been married for three years, Guo Yueluo has never seen him.
The people in the village finally couldn't help but point fingers at Wang Chong, but Wang Chong directly ignored these things.
These people know nothing about it. He is still young and doesn't want to have children so early.
Of course, Guo Yueluo knew Wang Chong’s thoughts, but she was not embarrassed to tell outsiders that every time her parents asked about it, she always lowered her head embarrassedly, saying that they don’t want children for the time being, and their careers are the most important, and they are all young anyway.
In the past two years, Wang Chong has been preparing for hotpot.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to speed up, it’s really scary that work inefficiently in ancient times.
For example, after making those casseroles, it took three months to verify them before he could get a casserole that he was satisfied with, which almost made the craftsman quit.
Then we prepare hot pot seasonings. These seasonings are the soul of hot pot. Hot pot without seasonings is incomplete.
But Wang Chong had only eaten hot pot before and had never made it, so he needed to debug it one by one.
Today I prepared sour and spicy ones, and tomorrow I prepared sweet and salty ones, and sometimes I prepared onions and garlic together. I tried many flavors and finally tested seven flavors.
Among them, the flavors can be adjusted interchangeably and have great flexibility.
After the basic ingredients are ready, the ingredients are left.
There is no shortage of ingredients for the time being. Wang Chong's family has chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs.
Everything is ready, and only the right place is left to find the right place.
Finally, with the help of his father-in-law Guo Zhuang, Wang Chong found a restaurant located on the edge of the river in the city. There are a lot of people here, but there are also disadvantages, that is, there are many taverns. If you want to open a career here, people who want to have a lot of confidence.
The last restaurant owner was not as good as a chef and eventually the business was getting fewer and fewer, so he closed down.
When Wang Chong saw this restaurant, he immediately decided to choose this place.
This restaurant has two floors, each with more than a dozen seats.
There is also a backyard at the back, which is a kitchen, a wood-room, and three cottages for living.
In order to rent the restaurant, he still lacked a lot of savings for many years. For this reason, he gritted his teeth and sold all the cattle at home. Then he collected all the silver coins and rented the restaurant for two years.
evening.
It’s autumn and the weather is getting colder.
After renting the restaurant, Wang Chong and Guo Yueluo temporarily lived at their father-in-law's house.
To celebrate the opening of the hot pot restaurant today, Wang Chong brought Yalan and his mother over.
The family was eating Wang Chong's hotpot at Guo Zhuang's house. This thing was indeed very interesting. Guo Zhuang drank several more cups, which was a bit of a big deal.
He picked up a few slices of very thin mutton hotpot and put them in the pot, and then said to Wang Chong: "Son-in-law, this hot pot is indeed delicious, especially in winter, and it is about to eat it, which makes people feel much warmer. But have you ever thought about summer? It's hot in summer, so this hot pot is not suitable for eating."
"I've thought about this a long time ago. At that time, when I launch the hot pot, I'll prepare to cook grilled fish."
“Grilled fish?”
The family was surprised, and even Guo Yueluo looked at Wang Chong in surprise because she had never heard of this.
Wang Chong said calmly: "I'll talk about this later."
"Okay, son-in-law, if you have anything to do, I need my old bone to help you, just say it." Guo Zhuang was so angry that he looked at his mother-in-law Sun Yan: "Our family is not busy in the near future, so let those helpers go to our son-in-law restaurant to help for a few days."
"Hey, I'll talk to them when I look back." Sun Yan nodded.
…………
"Pili Balah..."
Three days later, Xiaoyu Hotpot Restaurant officially opened.
In order to create momentum, Guo Zhuang invited many local relatives and friends.
Wang Chong asked Yalan to bring ink and write down leaflets in person.
Xiaoyu Hotpot is officially opened!
It only costs 49 yuan per person. Not only can you taste all the vegetable products in the store, but you can also give two kilograms of chicken to make the base soup.
The meat is calculated separately afterwards. If you bring the children in, the children will not be charged for the cap.
The leaflet was written all morning at once, and at the end, Yalan learned it herself, so Wang Chong asked her to write it.
If the guest in the restaurant is not counted as the one brought by Guo Zhuang, Wang Chong invited a total of 8 people.
Three people are responsible for the meat in the kitchen, two are responsible for washing and picking vegetables, and three are responsible for serving tea and water.
As for Yalan and Guo Yueluo, they are responsible for some matters of going out to purchase, and they occasionally take action.
My mother Zhang Xiaohong also started to do something at the counter and paid for the bill.
Now all the livestock at home have been sold by Wang, and most of them have been sent to Guo Zhuang's pigpen to raise.
His place is big enough, but most of it is pigs.
The land at home was basically handed over to Aunt Sun and Uncle Ma Wu.
As soon as such a new hot pot restaurant opened, it immediately attracted the attention of many people in the city. There is no way. Every time someone passes here, he will smell the smell of hot pot floating inside. The key is that the price is affordable. As long as you don’t order meat, you only need 49 yuan per person.
This price is much cheaper than other restaurants outside, so many people come to taste it.
And because it is winter now, if you go to eat other foods, the hot dishes will get cold in a while, but hot pot is different. Once you eat hot pot, people will eat it in the middle of winter, so the business is getting better and better.
However, most people are not optimistic about the long-term development of this restaurant.
After all, everyone is not stupid. Although this thing is delicious, when summer comes, the temperature can make people feel hot. If you eat hot pot again, it will be true love.
Especially Wang Dahu and Wang Ping's family, after knowing that Wang Xiaoyu and his family opened a restaurant, they made a lot of money, and they were so jealous that they all exclaimed several times that when summer comes, the restaurant will definitely lose money.
Summer is finally here.
The hot pot restaurant business is indeed much lighter.
But it doesn’t matter. In a few days, Xiaoyu Hotpot Restaurant in the city sent out another flyer.
The new dish grilled fish is here.
There are three types of grilled fish waiting for you to choose from, spicy grilled fish, fresh grilled fish, and original grilled fish.
All the grilled fish selected were from the families Wang Chong went to fish for fishing, and they carefully selected the big ones.
A whole plate of grilled fish can also be served, and you can also cut into orders, sliced meat and meatballs into it to make ingredients.
Suddenly, Xiaoyu Hotpot Restaurant business soared again. After a year, the business finally stabilized.
In order to improve the restaurant's level in people's minds, Wang Chong set the partition on the second floor into a private room and specially invited musicians to play.
Two years have passed, Wang Chong calculated that he has made six times more money in the past two years than the previous breeding industry!
It was just this year that Guo Yueluo's belly finally grew bigger.
Wang Chong also went from being a hardworking young man known as the village to becoming a smart shopkeeper Wang who was well-known to everyone in the city.
"Congratulations to Manager Wang, it makes the wife happy." The doctor said happily for Guo Yueluo to take the pulse.
Chapter completed!
