Chapter 413 Successful opening
The whole family is busy and everything is organized.
After they prepared all the ingredients, they all sat together.
Vegetables are tied with hemp ropes, while meat, potatoes and other ingredients are skewered with bamboo sticks.
After processing, they are placed in new wooden basins.
......
Although An Yue had already arranged everyone's corresponding positions a few days in advance.
However, since it is a new opening, all aspects still need to be adjusted and adapted.
After the family arrived at the shop, they were busy for an hour.
When everything was ready, it was already dawn outside.
At this time, a red glow appeared in the east, and the sun peeked out from the clouds playfully.
The family sat in the dining room and had a simple breakfast.
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the street.
Soon it was Chen time, the auspicious time for opening the business had arrived.
An Yue asked A'er to light the firecrackers.
Suddenly, there was a burst of crackling firecrackers outside the shop.
After setting off firecrackers.
The family stood at the door of the shop, and An Yue pulled aside the red cloth covering the plaque.
The plaque is engraved with the words "Anjia Malatang" in large letters.
The family shouted loudly: "Anjia Malatang is open for business!"
Then, An Yue said loudly: "Everyone come and take a look and try the newly opened spicy hot pot shop."
Passersby who heard this all gathered around curiously.
Everyone was looking at the shop, and some even walked into the shop to find out what was going on.
In an instant, the shop was filled with people inside and outside, and the place was filled with laughter and congratulations, making it extremely lively.
The layout of the entire shop is: dining room, food selection area, counter, and kitchen.
When you enter the shop, the first thing you see is the dining room.
There are rows of tables and chairs in the dining room, with a total of eight tables.
Going further in is the food selection area.
The food selection area offers a variety of vegetables, meat, fried eggs, dried bamboo shoots and other ingredients.
An Yue stood on a stool at the counter and raised her hand to signal the customers to go to the food selection area.
He also said: "There are small baskets stacked in the food selection area, and everyone can choose whatever food they want to eat."
"Pick the right dishes and put them in a basket, bring them to me, and I'll take them to the kitchen to be cooked."
As soon as An Yue finished speaking, a man in coarse clothes scratched his head and asked, "Little girl, what new and strange food do you have?"
An Yue smiled and explained: "Brother, this is called Malatang, the taste is very special, I guarantee you will like it!"
At this time, Chunzhi brought out a bowl of spicy hot pot sample from the kitchen.
The man looked at the spicy hot pot that Chunzhi brought out, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Wow, look at this red soup base, it smells really good!"
An Yue smiled and said, "Then you must try it quickly. This soup base is my unique secret recipe, which is carefully brewed."
The man quickly said, "Oh? A secret recipe. I must try it first."
An Yue winked at her aunt who was standing nearby. Her aunt took a pair of chopsticks and a plate and handed them to the man with both hands.
The man couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Oh, this taste! It has a spicy and numbing taste, but most importantly, it is very fragrant."
The man swallowed it slowly with an intoxicated look on his face, licking his lips and saying: "This...this is really wonderful! Once you taste it, you will want to eat it bite by bite!"
The people standing by were all puzzled and asked, "Is it really so magical?"
The man said cheerfully, "Haha, girl, quickly cook me a bowl of spicy hot pot with this flavor, so I can enjoy my meal today."
The aunt happily guided the man to the vegetable selection area to choose ingredients.
At this time, the woman standing by and watching asked timidly: "Girl, is your spicy hotpot spicy? I can't eat spicy food."
An Yue quickly explained: "This spicy hot pot has three flavors, spicy, slightly spicy, and wild vegetable soup."
"Sister, do you want to try the spicy one first?"
The woman nodded, picked up the plate and chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth.
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
After chewing it gently and swallowing it, he said in surprise: "I didn't expect it to taste so good, not bad, not bad, I also want to cook a spicy hot pot of this flavor!"
The aunt-in-law then asked the woman to go to the vegetable selection area to choose ingredients.
After the man had selected the ingredients, the aunt-in-law guided him to the counter and asked An Yue to count the bamboo sticks to pay the bill.
Above the counter, three rows of eye-catching characters were carved on three wooden boards:
【Check out first】
【Vegetables; two bunches for one penny】
【Meat; one penny a string】
After counting the bamboo sticks in the basket, An Yue smiled and said to the man, "You picked ten skewers of vegetables and five skewers of meat. I'll charge you ten cents in total."
The man pointed to the wooden sign above and asked, "Is this for paying first?"
An Yuetian smiled and explained, "My small business relies on small profits and quick turnover. Paying the bill first is also to avoid the occasional panic and accidentally charging you the wrong amount or overcharging you, right?"
After hearing this, the man said generously: "Sure, sure, as long as it tastes good, anything is fine."
After saying that, he took out ten cents and handed it to An Yue.
Then, An Yue took out a bamboo stick with the number and handed it to the man, and said to him:
"Brother, please take this numbered bamboo stick and go sit on the table over there. Wait for a moment. When the spicy hotpot you selected is ready, it will be delivered to your table according to the bamboo stick number."
The man took the bamboo stick, looked at it over and over again, and saw two words engraved on it.
【Number One】.
The man held the bamboo stick and laughed, "Not bad, not bad, this shop is really novel!"
Each customer will have three bamboo sticks, namely; long bamboo sticks, short bamboo sticks, and seasoning bamboo sticks.
There are long and short bamboo sticks. The long bamboo sticks are slightly thicker, which means they are used by customers to hold their queue numbers.
The short bamboo sticks and seasoning bamboo sticks are inserted into the colander to facilitate the cooking time distinction in the kitchen.
An Yue inserted the No. 1 short bamboo stick and the spicy seasoning bamboo stick into the colander one by one, and then placed the No. 1 colander on the kitchen windowsill behind her.
Since no one in the family was illiterate, An Yue had to use picture carving method.
Not spicy, use a cross on a bamboo stick to indicate that the customer does not want it spicy, which is the mountain delicacy soup.
For slightly spicy bamboo sticks, use one chili pepper to represent slightly spicy.
Spicy and spicy means two peppers.
Daniu Ale was busy cooking spicy hot pot in the kitchen, while his grandmother was responsible for passing him firewood.
After the spicy hot pot is cooked, Daniu Ale and his friends will put the delicious spicy hot pot on the windowsill.
At this time, Chunzhi and the aunt, who are in the dining room, will deliver the spicy hot pot to the customers' tables according to the long bamboo sticks with their numbers in their hands.
At this moment, the dining room was crowded with people, all of whom were looking at the decorations and dishes in the shop.
A gorgeously dressed woman was followed by a maid.
He walked forward slowly, frowned and asked:
