Liu Ruolan herself didn't dare to make the decision on this kind of thing.
"I can only ask for you. Nowadays, restaurants only sell hot and sour noodles and chicken soup noodles, and I'm not sure whether they accept pheasants."
"Okay, please ask my second sister-in-law. We have nothing to do. As for the first two boys in the family, you know how partial our parents-in-law are. We have to think more about ourselves."
"Don't worry, brothers and sisters, I will never mention this matter to anyone else."
Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Liu Ruolan knew that her three younger siblings were also having a hard time at home. Although they were better than herself, they still couldn't compare with her elder sister-in-law.
In this family, apart from the parents-in-law, the eldest son has the highest status. Otherwise, Xie Rongrong would not have developed a disrespectful attitude towards her aunt.
The Liu family's restaurant opened smoothly, and the Song family learned that it was opened by Xie Xiuwen's uncles and brothers, so naturally they couldn't help but support it. The most important thing was that the Song family made it clear that it was being protected by their family. Yes, it will naturally dispel the worries of many young gangsters.
Although Boss Liu works in the yamen, he is just a scholar with no power, and he is still a civil servant. He doesn't go out of the yamen very often. At most, he just follows a few yamen responsible for this street. Say a few nice words and ask them to take care of you.
The Liu family is smart enough to know that some people cannot be offended but only befriended, so whenever they see an official passing by, they will greet them with a smile to come in for a bowl of tea or a bowl of noodles.
They are all smart people, and the government officials also know that the Liu family restaurant is protected by the Song family, so they will not go too far. That is, they will not pay for the first two meals, and then later, but they do not dare to short the copper plate.
Liu Laoer was smart. When he saw them giving money, he pretended to decline a few times and then accepted it. However, every time they came over to eat, the portions they gave were more generous than others, and they would always add an extra egg or something. Two pieces of meat.
Naturally, several government officials were very satisfied with this kind of show of goodwill, which shows that these people are sensible!
Because the Liujia Restaurant has opened and the business is good, the people staying in Liujia Village are not idle either.
Mrs. Liu greets her grandchildren, and goes to every house in the morning and evening to collect eggs, or goes to the mountains to collect mushrooms and fresh bamboo shoots.
Things obtained from the mountains are naturally free of charge, which can also greatly reduce the cost of their restaurants.
After Mrs. Liu came to collect the eggs twice, she was persuaded by Mr. Liu and then gave her some ideas.
"Mother, we have to collect these eggs, and we can't break the chickens. In this case, you go back to the clan leader and leave this matter to the clan leader. First, collect the eggs from our own clan, and the money will go with them. The town sells it for the same price, and the clan leader is willing to accept this favor from us."
Old Mrs. Liu thought the same thing. The business of their restaurant was good and people would be jealous sooner or later. It was better to take the initiative to win over the clan members before anyone took the initiative to avoid making things difficult for them in the future.
Since the restaurant is making chicken soup noodles, it is natural to use chicken.
As for what to do with the chicken that had survived the chicken soup, Xie Xiuwen gave them an idea.
After all, Xie Xiuwen also studied in Fucheng, so he naturally has more knowledge than others.
So after he left, he made this arrangement.
The stewed chicken can be taken apart and sold.
For example, a piece of chicken breast can be shredded by hand and mixed with spicy seasoning to make a spicy shredded chicken dish.
Chicken wings and drumsticks are chopped before stewing the soup. They can be braised and sold separately, added directly to noodles or rice noodles, or bought separately to take away.
After all this tinkering, there isn't much meat left.
Some of them need to be processed. Even the cheapest bowl of rice noodles has some minced chicken floating in it.
I didn't notice much in the first few days. After all, ordinary people only care about having enough to eat.
Later, when the name went out, it naturally attracted people from other places to come and taste it, and some young ladies from wealthy families also came out to taste it. The meat products sold out relatively quickly.
There was a butcher in Liujia Village, and it was their main family, and they didn’t even produce the fifth service.
Liu Laoer went to Butcher Liu and told him that he wanted ten pounds of pork belly and ten pounds of lean meat every day, but Butcher Liu was very happy.
This is a big customer!
Ordinary people, who can eat meat every day?
Let alone twenty kilograms, it would take a long time to think about buying two taels of meat.
Butcher Liu's shop is in the town. He kills the pigs in the village. After killing them, he takes them to the town to sell them. The shop in the town is really too small and cannot be moved around. The pigs are losing their hair and losing their hair. Making hot water takes up too much space.
The main reason is that he himself cannot sell a pig at all. In addition to regularly delivering pork to several restaurants, he also has to share it with the pork shop in the town ten miles away. Otherwise, all the meat will be sold out overnight in summer. Sour.
Normally he could sell half a fan of pork in a day, so he had to burn high incense. Now he has a big customer, and a family wants twenty kilograms. Of course he is happy.
Now the Liu family restaurant only makes hot and sour noodles and chicken soup noodles. Although Xie Rongzhao can make other delicious food, he doesn't want to let the Liu family do it.
Xie Rongzhao had already made a plan in his heart. If his uncles were willing to share the dividends with his father, they should save it and build a shop for his mother in the future. Then they could have their own business.
But Xie Rongzhao also has a headache. The Xie family has not been divided, and it is impossible to divide the family. If my mother-in-law has a shop in her hands, I am afraid it will be confiscated, and sooner or later the uncle and his family will be advantaged.
Xie Rongzhao didn't want to make wedding clothes for others, so he had been worrying about it.
Simply because he is still far behind in terms of money, Xie Rongzhao just thinks about taking advantage of his good luck to provide more support for his mother-in-law.
Xie Laosan was about to go out with his son Xie Rongen, and Xie Rongzhao also tiptoed over.
"Third uncle, fourth brother, you want to go up the mountain? Can you take me there?"
Xie Rongzhao recovered from his illness these days, and he followed Xie Xiuwen to eat Xiaozao outside for a few days. His face was much rosier than before.
Xie Rongen has always liked this cousin, who doesn't talk much and is well-behaved.
"Dad, let's go up the mountain with our dear baby, shall we?"
Xie Laosan had no objection, he had seen his niece's good luck with his own eyes.
"Okay, go and tell your second uncle, so that you don't have to look for her again later."
"knew."
Xie Rongen jumped up and down to find Liu Ruolan.
Xie Rongzhao is also happy. If she can go up the mountain, she should be lucky to get good things.
Xie Rongzhao was young and had just walked a few steps outside. Xie Rongen became impatient and picked her up and walked away.
"Fourth brother, I can go by myself."
"You walk too slowly. Why don't you let my father carry you? You just sit in the basket."
I don’t know if it’s not a good time to go out today, but as soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I met the famous Widow Wang in Xiejia Village who loves to take advantage.
