Li Xia turned over a page in the book and wrote down some ingredients and tools.
Seven pounds of pork belly, five pairs of pork liver, pork heart and pork tongue, two large snowflake iron buckets, two long-handled aluminum spoons...
Li Xia tore off the two-page ingredient list and handed it to Li Yan.
"It must be done before two o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise it will not be opened in the evening and we will have to wait until tomorrow. Li
Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it was open.
He picked up the list and looked at it, but he asked doubtfully:"Are you only buying pork as the ingredients?""
"Also, what is this snowflake tin bucket used for?"
Li Yan wondered
"No explanation, just follow the instructions. Li Xia said lightly.
Li Yan glanced at Li Xia, said nothing, put away the order, and went to do the work immediately.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Li Xia's command, he had no choice but to listen to him..
Li Xia then ordered Ding Qiuxia,"Sister-in-law, please go to the field and bring some vegetables. There are more varieties so you can stir-fry different dishes."
There is an advantage for rural people to open a restaurant. They don't have to buy vegetables. They have them in their own fields and they are fresh.
However, the vegetables are also cheap, so they don't save much cost.
Li Xia finished arranging the things that needed to be prepared and walked to the door of the restaurant. Looking diagonally across the way,
Li Shouye asked,"What to do next?
Li Xia looked at Liu Ji Restaurant and said,"It's almost dinner time, let's eat.""
Li Shouye was stunned. There was only rice, seasonings, a few eggs, and no other dishes in the restaurant.
What can these 28 be used to eat?
Suddenly, Li Shouye's heart skipped a beat.
Egg fried rice!
For now, it's just... I can make egg fried rice.
Li Shouye swallowed his saliva. Li Xia's egg fried rice was a masterpiece. He wanted to eat it again and never got tired of it.
Who knew.
Li Xia didn't want to make egg fried rice, but walked out. restaurant, striding towards the Liu Ji Restaurant diagonally opposite.
Li Shouye was stunned...
By the time Li Shouye reacted, Li Xia had already arrived at the door of Liu Ji Restaurant.
Li Shouye said in surprise:"Is this kid going to Liu Ji Restaurant?" Eat at Lao San’s restaurant?!"
Li Shouye slowly covered his chest with one hand.
……
Li Xia stood at the door of Liu Ji Restaurant, and Liu Laosan's wife immediately greeted him.
"This guest, please come in, what would you like to eat?"
This Liu Ji Restaurant was opened by Liu Laosan's three sons.
Liu Laosan and his wife helped in the restaurant when they had time.
Liu Laosan was helping to carry the dishes when he saw Li Xia. He was startled. , recognized Li Xia.
Liu Laosan was puzzled:"Isn't this Li Shouye's youngest son, a street kid who idles around all day long?"
"This guy actually came here to eat?"
Liu Laosan was confused in his heart, but on the surface he said politely:
"Isn't this Xiao Li from Lao Li's family? Come to your Uncle Liu's place to have something to eat?"
Li Xia nodded, found an empty table to sit down, and then ordered a few signature dishes.
Liu Laosan raised his eyebrows.
Wow!
How can this prodigal eat so much by himself?
Li Xia ordered five or six signature dishes. Food.
Liu Laosan didn’t think much about it, he just thought in his heart:
Li Shouye, Li Shouye, even your prodigal son came to my Liu Laosan restaurant to eat, your Liji Restaurant should be closed as soon as possible.
In a few days Minutes.
The dishes were brought out one by one.
Twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, hot and sour shredded potatoes...
Most of the signature dishes are Sichuan cuisine, which means that the chef hired by Liu Ji Restaurant should be an authentic Sichuan cuisine. Master.
Moreover, his cooking skills are not bad.
Li Xia tasted a few bites. Although there is still a certain gap compared with his own level.
However, the gap is not big.
Just relying on the level of the cook to go head-to-head makes the distance between the two families With restaurants that are so close and almost face to face, it is difficult to widen the gap in business.
Li Xia has already considered this.
Therefore, he chose to find another way...
Li Xia ate this dish for two After eating a bowl of rice, he burped.
Then, he asked the waiter to pack the rest of the meal.
This meal cost seven yuan and sixty cents.
Li Xia took the packed meal and returned to Li Ji Restaurant.
Mr. Liu The third one watched Li Xia leave, and then he raised his chin at Li Shouye from a distance.
This provocative and proud move made Li Shouye almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Li Shouye stared at Li Xia and wondered. :"Why did you go to Liu Laosan's restaurant to eat? You are sending food to the enemy!"
Li Shouye blew his beard
"When doing business, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. How can I win the battle if I don't understand the enemy's situation?"
Li Xia wasn't angry either, he said with a smile.
After saying this, Li Shouye's face softened and his breathing became easier.
He hurriedly asked:"What's the level of the cook Liu Laosan hired? Li
Xia nodded and said,"He is a decent Sichuan cook. His Mapo Tofu is the best, very authentic."
Li Shouye was stunned for a moment, then asked:"How do I compare with you?"
Li Xia said:"Compared with me, there is still a certain gap.""
This sounds like boasting, but Li Xia is telling the truth.
Li Shouye was shocked:"Great, then let's open the business tonight and compete with Liu Laosan to see whose business is better! Li
Xia did not answer, raised the food in his hand, and said:"I will go to deliver food to my wife and two milk babies first.""
Li Shouye waved his hand and told Li Xia to go back quickly.
He was full of enthusiasm now. Let's see how long Liu Laosan can be proud of him.
Li Xia drove the donkey cart to deliver food to Chu Mengxi and the two milk dumplings. Got it
……
2 p.m.
Li Yan had arranged all the tables, chairs and benches. There were only two large tables left, and there were thirteen more small tables and three long tables. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
It looks a little crowded, but when it is full, the lively atmosphere will be reflected.
This kind of atmosphere will attract customers in disguise.
People love to gather in lively places.
Customers with a number of two to five people can sit down for twenty waves at a time.
Li Xia nodded with satisfaction.
Li Yan said from the side:"How about we prepare the dishes, are we ready to open?"
Li Xia said:"Okay."
Li Yan, Ding Qiuxia, and Li Shouye immediately became excited.
Li Yan said:"Then I will go to the kitchen to help you while my wife welcomes the guests."
Li Xia shook his head and said:"I can be alone in the kitchen. Don't come in." Li Yan was stunned. What does this mean? You are afraid that I will steal from you. Cooking skills?
Li Xia said to Li Yan:"Brother, go and buy some wine."
Li Yan said in confusion:"There is wine in the store. There is a lot of wine. I bought it from the beginning."
There are indeed many bottles of wine on the cabinet. But Li Xia knew that it would be difficult to sell these wines.
Because Li Yan is a second-rate person, he only buys medium-to-high-priced wines, even high-end wines such as Moutai.
He thought that the people who came to eat in the restaurant were wealthy people.
That would be wrong.
Most consumers have ordinary boss surnames.
Nowadays, living conditions are gradually improving. It is impossible for ordinary people to say that they eat in restaurants every day, but most people living in the county are still willing to reward themselves by going to a restaurant every ten and a half months.
"These wines of yours can't be sold even if they are left there for a month." Li Xia said
"Why?"Li Yan wondered
"If you go to a restaurant to eat by yourself, what kind of wine would you order?"
"Um...this……"Li Yan's mind finally turned around,"I drink Erguotou and Xifeng wine."……"
Li Yan understood that even for relatively cheap wines such as Erguotou, Xifeng Wine, and Laobaigan, ordinary people would not drink them all at once, and would only have a few drinks during holidays.
For ordinary people, 483 grain and wine are considered small luxuries.
When dining out, ordering a bottle of affordable wine is a common demand.
Li Yan had to admire Li Xia's intelligence.
Li Shouye nodded after hearing this. What Li Xia said made sense.
In this way, it seems that Li Yan, the elder brother, is even more useless.
This eldest son is really not the material to open a restaurant, thanks to Li Xia
"Then I'll go buy some wine."
"Also, if you buy five kilograms of melon seeds, while the guests are waiting for their food, you can serve a small plate of melon seeds for free and let them drink tea and eat the melon seeds first. The purpose is to retain people."
Li Xia said.
Li Yan's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. Why didn't he think of it?
"OK, I'll go right away!"
Li Yan turned around and left the restaurant.
Li Xia entered the kitchen.
……
PS: As for the issue that readers have complained about a lot, it is the protagonist, Our Lady.
The author really didn't write it well here. He made the father and eldest brother look disgusting, so they are very annoying.
For Lee Kee Restaurant, the protagonist is just going through the motions.
He will come up with a secret recipe for soy pork, and after signing the contract, he will teach his elder brother how to make soy pork, and the protagonist will not care about it after that.
The protagonist just needs to get paid according to the contract, but the eldest brother actually works for the protagonist in disguise, and he is willing to do so, because the eldest brother is a waste.
The income from restaurants would not be much, because restaurants were not a necessity in those days, and it was impossible for ordinary people to eat out every day.
Therefore, the income from the restaurant is considered an extra small income for the protagonist, and it is definitely not as profitable as selling steamed buns.
In the future, the protagonist will open his own shop and factory...
The author will skip the plot between his father and his eldest brother as soon as possible, so please be patient.
If you readers have any other opinions, you can mention them in the comment area. The author will try his best to write it well so that readers can read it comfortably..
