Chapter 159 Opening for Business
"Okay, Captain Wu is generous. I have no problem with it." Zhao Xiaojing nodded, feeling quite satisfied with the way Captain Wu handled the matter.
Although she now has Xiaozhi and does not need to check the circuits of the whole house, it is hard to say about this kind of thing. After all, what she said just now was that she felt sparks coming out of the socket when using the disinfection cabinet.
Besides, checking it again is an extra layer of insurance, which is a good thing.
"But the person who checks the circuit..." Zhao Xiaojing said hesitantly.
"I understand, I understand. I won't arrange the same technician to check the circuit. Don't worry." Captain Wu said hurriedly.
"It's not that we have any problem with the master, it's just that the circuit was made by their own family, and we're afraid to find fault with it openly." Su Yuchen heard this and ran over to explain.
"I know, I know. In fact, he is a very good worker. He worked with my father for 10 to 20 years. He lays the lines beautifully and quickly, and his skills are impeccable." Captain Wu shook his head and sighed. "He is now crazy, taking the blame for his nephew who can't teach him well every day. He is old and has no children, so he wants to rely on his nephew to take care of him in his old age! How is this possible?
Oh, there's really nothing I can do. I'll have to talk to him about it when I get back."
Captain Wu looked like he was in a lawsuit. Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen didn't know what to say. They agreed to send someone to check the circuit early the next morning, and Captain Wu left in a hurry.
It was already nine o'clock, and the two hurried into the kitchen. Su Yuchen used the rice steamer to steam rice, while Zhao Xiaojing was cutting vegetables and preparing food.
Wen Jin ordered 33 meals, which happened to be three of the 11 types of rice topped with gravy that Zhao Xiaojing had in her store.
The pork trotter rice that the students ordered has also made a notice in the group that the new store has opened and has switched from online to offline business again, and has specially given discounts to students in the group. In addition to the opening activities, students can receive two extra chicken wings when they dine in the store with historical orders in the group.
Zhao Xiaojing had calculated the 11 varieties of rice with gravy in advance. When the business just opened, there were only her and Su Yuchen, and preparing too many dishes would lead to waste and they would be too busy to handle it.
Although the copycat machine made from the system's quick module can help with most food preparation tasks, fine slicing and dicing can only be done by the system's real quick module, but she can't use it in front of others.
Zhao Xiaojing resigned herself to her fate and cut 20 kilograms of beef into pieces, blanched it and stir-fried it until fragrant, then added enough water and simmered it on low heat.
Then prepare the chicken pieces in the same way, add the mushrooms and simmer slowly on another stove.
Although there are 11 varieties of rice topped with gravy, not all of them need to be cooked on the spot. For example, the stewed chicken with potatoes, beef brisket and mushrooms can be stewed in advance, and the sauce can be reduced after lunch time. When someone orders it, just scoop a spoonful out and put it on the rice. It is fresh and saves time, and the stewing time is also appropriate.
The pig's feet on the side were also braised last night. They will be put back into the pot for 20 minutes at noon. If someone orders them, just take them out and cut them.
Su Yuchen has already prepared all the dishes that can be prepared by machine, and is now blanching the tofu to remove the bean smell according to Zhao Xiaojing's instructions.
Zhao Xiaojing continued to cut the chicken gizzards and pork liver into thin slices, shred the lean meat, dice the chicken, and cut the potatoes and eggplant into dices.
After Su Yuchen finished blanching the tofu, she used the method she learned from Zhao Xiaojing to fry the peanuts in cold oil, stirring and shaking the pan constantly.
Zhao Xiaojing then coated the diced chicken with flour and mixed it with a little seasoning, and coated the eggplant with starch and set aside.
Then, continue to heat up the oil pan that Su Yuchen used to fry the peanuts, and lightly fry the eggplant, beans, and potatoes, then set aside.
Finally, cut a large basket of shredded potatoes and soak them in a large steel basin.
At eleven o'clock, they both finished preparing the food. Su Yuchen went to sit in the front hall and wait to entertain the guests, while Zhao Xiaojing stayed in the kitchen to prepare the 33 meals ordered by Wen Jinding.
The beef brisket was almost done, and Zhao Xiaojing poured 30 kilograms of potatoes that Su Yuchen had cut into pieces by a machine into the pot. The water had been added all at once, so the potatoes could be immersed in it. Zhao Xiaojing slightly adjusted the seasoning, and then continued to stew with the lid on.
The stew pot was also heated up.
Next came Mapo Tofu, Three Fresh Vegetables, and Kung Pao Chicken. After frying each dish, water was added and the dishes were left on the stove to collect the sauce.
Then add chopped green pepper and egg. Coat the chopped green pepper with egg liquid and fry in a pan over medium heat.
After frying, stir-fry the spicy and sour chicken offal, shredded pork with grandma's vegetables, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried pork liver.
Finally, take out the pig's trotter and cut it into three pieces. Turn off the heat and put the potato brisket and braised chicken with mushrooms after the sauce has been reduced. Put all the dishes in three servings. Then take out the chicken feet, chicken wing tips, dried tofu, braised eggs, lotus root, potatoes, kelp and other snacks from the pig's trotter rice soup pot, put a little of each in three full boxes and send them with the order. Wen Jin's 33 meal orders were solved.
Zhao Xiaojing packed all the food and was about to contact Wen Jin to ask when the errand boy would arrive when Su Yuchen poked his head in the door. "Jingjing, the three guys from Uncle Wen's place came over and asked when the meal would be ready."
"It's ready. You came on time. I was just about to ask." Zhao Xiaojing said as she picked up three lunch bags and handed them to Su Yuchen at the kitchen door.
Su Yuchen took it, and after paying the bill at the front desk, they quickly left with the rice.
As soon as the three men left, customers started to come into the store, and the owner of the pressed noodles shop next door poked his head into the store.
"Open, girl? What did those people just pack? It smells so good. I smelled it just after eleven o'clock. I don't even want to cook the vegetables I bought."
Su Yuchen chuckled and pointed at the blackboard on the wall. "They packed 3 servings of all the rice dishes in the store. The menu is here. But the aroma you smell should be from our pork trotter rice. That's our signature dish."
"Oh, it smells like a strong aroma of braised meat... 30 yuan?" The noodle shop owner was puzzled when looking at the menu. She was already here, but 30 yuan was a bit expensive. She was running a small business, and she had to sell several servings of noodles to earn 30 yuan.
"Sister, our family has a lot of appetite for pig trotters, so one portion is enough for two people with smaller appetites.
Wait a minute." Su Yuchen said as she walked into the kitchen, cut a few slices of pig's feet, put a toothpick on them, and came out with a small bowl. "Sister, it doesn't matter whether you order or not, just taste it first. I guarantee you'll never forget the taste of our stewed food."
The noodle shop owner was hesitating, but after hearing what Su Yuchen said, he half-believed and half-doubtedly picked up a toothpick and put a piece into his mouth. His expression changed immediately after eating it. "Girl, give me one portion! More rice!"
"Okay, sister, please eat a few more slices." Su Yuchen smiled and stretched the tasting bowl in her hand forward.
"Eh, no, no." The noodle shop owner pushed the bowl away. He was too embarrassed to taste it. He just stood there, staring at Su Yuchen as he turned and walked towards the kitchen.
