Chapter 283 Delivering Food to Your Door
Huo Junan pretended not to see it and swept the snow off Shen Wanniang's body, "Go inside quickly and change some clothes. It's no joke to get cold."
"Yeah." Shen Wanniang was satisfied with Huo Junan's performance and trotted back to the house to change clothes.
"Xiaochen, play more leisurely with your mother next time." Huo Junan lectured him again before entering the room.
This time Yue'er started to gloat over his misfortune and couldn't stop giggling.
Huo Chen sighed and had no choice but to go back to the house by himself. He was in a complicated mood. His stepfather didn't care for him anymore after he had a mother.
However, he is very happy and the atmosphere at home is really good now.
In the future, when he succeeds in his studies and marries a wife, he will also be a good husband-in-law who loves his wife. In this way, it will be passed down from generation to generation. Isn't it a good thing?
It can be said that Huo Chen has enlightened himself early.
The snowball fight was so enjoyable that it took away a little bit of Shen Wanniang's worries. But when she arrived at the shop after noon, she became worried again.
"Sister-in-law, it's not good to keep going like this. We seem to have fewer customers than before."
"It's true, boss lady. After the weather gets cold, there are fewer people on the street. It's snowing heavily these days. There are really very few customers today. Look, such a large number of skewers are not sold. Let’s go.”
Han Sanqi and La Gu sighed and told Shen Wanniang about the current situation in the shop.
Shen Wanniang found the account books and took a closer look. Sure enough, the income has been decreasing these days.
Thinking about it, I lent out six hundred taels in a short time. What if the business fails? The expenses for such a large family are quite high.
Let alone wanting to open an escort agency next year.
"Sister-in-law, don't be so quiet." Han Sanqi got angry and had two huge pimples on his cheeks.
Shen Wanniang looked away from her and said, "Go and take some fire-clearing medicine. Don't be unable to sit still if something happens to you."
"snort."
Shen Wanniang sat at the counter and looked over the scattered customers in the shop.
Although spicy skewers are delicious, it is no longer new if everyone eats them every day. However, it is so cold in the twelfth lunar month that many people have no idea of going out.
Shen Wanniang doesn't have anything new in her hands now, but she has the thousands of chickens from Mr. Zhao's house.
chicken?
While thinking about it, Shen Wanniang suddenly had an idea.
"Han Sanqi, come out!"
"What are you doing? I just took the medicine and you called me."
"Aren't you anxious because there is no business? I'll give you a job. Go and kill two chickens for me."
Han Sanqi laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you are on the wrong track again."
"Just go if you are told. There are so many words."
After a while, the sound of chickens jumping up and down could be heard in the backyard being chased by Han Sanqi.
Lagu also came over and said, "Mrs. Boss, what are we doing this time?"
"Lagu, you have been working with us for so long, and I regard you as one of my own. I won't do the chicken this time, and you will do it."
"Can I do it?"
"Listen to me, if you do this..." Shen Wanniang explained the method to La Gu in detail.
Lagu listened very carefully.
"Remember?"
"Remember."
The remaining tasks are Han Sanqi and La Gu. As a boss lady, Shen Wanniang cannot do everything herself. Sooner or later, these people under her will have to be trained.
Han Sanqi killed the chicken and plucked its feathers, while Lagu prepared various condiments and kneaded the noodles.
After Han Sanqi's chicken was put away, Lagu put the chicken in the pot according to Shen Wanniang's method.
The chicken is simmering. When it is half-cooked, add dried potatoes, beans, and radish cubes and continue cooking. When the heat is about to turn off, pull out the noodles and stick them to the side of the pot.
Finally, cover the lid and simmer for a while, the chicken is ready.
During this process, Han Sanqi drooled several times.
"Sister-in-law, when can I eat it?"
"Wait until it's done."
"When will it be mature?"
"Wait until the bread is cooked."
Finally, it was put on a plate and started to be eaten. One chicken could fill a large plate, and the noodles were placed piece by piece around the edge of the large plate. From a close look, it looked like a dish, but from a distance, it looked like a flower.
With such a steaming and fragrant pot in the cold winter, Han Sanqi couldn't hold back for a long time.
When Huo Junan and the others arrived together, they all took off their chopsticks.
The fresh chicken is cooked very deliciously, and the radish and potatoes are stewed until they are soft and glutinous. You will feel the salt in your mouth when you bite into it.
“It smells so good.”
"This is really delicious."
Everyone at the table couldn't help but gulp down the food.
Shen Wanniang smiled and picked up a noodle pancake, tore up a piece and soaked it in the soup, "Whether you know how to eat it, you have to be like me."
"ah?"
Everyone was surprised, curious and started to learn.
The thick chicken soup is delicious and delicious, and it soaks into the soft and chewy bread. Wow, it's not too fragrant.
Huo Junan, who never drinks much, couldn't help but said: "Sanqi, bring me some wine."
"Haha, okay, I'll have a drink today too."
The pot of chicken reached the bottom in no time. It was a generous portion and everyone was very full. Han Sanqi used the last piece of bread to wipe away the remaining soup on the plate and wiped the plate clean.
"How's it going? We've all finished eating. Let's express our opinions." Shen Wanniang leaned on the back of her chair and asked them like she was having a meeting.
"Han Sanqi, you come first."
"There's nothing more to say. My sister-in-law's cooking skills are really amazing and the food is delicious."
"Yeah, it's the first time I've eaten so much. I'm almost fat." Lagu covered her face and became shy.
Finally, Shen Wanniang looked at Huo Junan and said, "Junan, what do you think?"
"It tastes delicious, and the taste is naturally very good. But I looked at the account book today and we don't have many customers here recently. I also looked at several nearby shops, and they are not as good as us."
Shen Wanniang looked at Huo Junan and nodded with a smile. Alas, it had to be Junan. Only Junan saw the fundamental problem of poor business.
Lagu slowly understood, "Is it because the weather is too cold and people don't like to go out? The new year is approaching, and every household has prepared New Year's goods. They think it's better to eat at home during the New Year so they don't go out."
"Yes, that's the reason."
"Then what should we do, mother." Xiaoyue'er, who understood, also became worried.
Even though she was young, she knew that her mother had borrowed a large sum of money and needed to earn more money as soon as possible.
"My idea is this, since the spicy skewers can no longer suck out everyone's greed, then we have to introduce new dishes, so I especially thought of this ground pot chicken."
"Furthermore, although the ground pot chicken was cooked, the guests were unwilling to go out, so I thought of another way."
"What method?" Everyone looked at Shen Wanniang now.
