Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

"Oh my god, this is so delicious."

Xia He ate the braised chicken, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets:

"No wonder you wanted to open a restaurant. With this skill, you'd definitely make money. You're fast too, opening a braised meat shop so quickly."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Thank you so much for finding me a great shop."

Xia He, with lipstick on, pouted as she ate the braised duck, saying nonchalantly:

"No problem, I'm keeping an eye out for your clothing store too. By the way, I just got a batch of sweaters, could you help me figure out how to style them to make them sell well?"

Bai Zhenzhu turned her head and saw that there were indeed many turtleneck sweaters hanging on the wall.

These days, sweaters aren't cheap, but almost every woman in every household knows how to knit. Zhang Minmin knits whenever she has free time.

However, the sweaters I knit myself are often not fitted and are bulky and thick.

However, the sweaters sold by Xiahe are very fitted and come in many styles.

"You can wear it with a leather jacket, trench coat, or even a suit jacket."

As she spoke, Bai Zhenzhu casually picked up a red turtleneck sweater and a black leather jacket, and put them together.

Xia He: "I also styled it this way, but the effect was just so-so."

Bai Zhenzhu: "Don't pull up your leather jacket, just leave it open, and tuck your sweater into your pants. If the customer has a good figure, this will definitely look good. You can pair it with flared jeans or wide-leg pants, either way. If the customer doesn't have a good figure, you can wear a trench coat with a skirt."

Xia He's eyes lit up instantly: "I think I understand."

They understand but don't take action. They're still eating braised meat, which is so delicious. It's spicy when dipped in chili powder, but it's salty and flavorful even without it.

"Pearl, do you still have any braised chicken? I'd like one; my mom would definitely love it."

Bai Zhenzhu hung the clothes back up and said, "Yes, I'll go buy some chicken broth later and save it for you."

Without delay, she hurried home for dinner.

Since there was no dining area in the lobby downstairs, Bai Chenglei carried a table to the second floor.

The braised meat that was left behind received unanimous praise from everyone.

Huo Zheng ate with everyone and was also quite surprised:

"Comrade Bai's braised meat is even better than that of Rongcheng Grand Hotel."

Bai Chengxiang laughed and said, "That's great, we'll open a Pearl braised meat shop in Chengdu in the future."

Huo Zheng nodded: "I think it's a good idea."

Bai Chenglei also said, "So much meat sold out in no time, and everyone said it tasted great."

Bai Zhenzhu was full of confidence after being praised:

"Then I will try my best to turn Good Taste Braised Meat Shop into a chain store."

The concept of chain stores is still unfamiliar in Yuanxian, a small county, but it already exists in Rongcheng.

Huo Zheng nodded approvingly; Bai Zhenzhu was truly the most extraordinary woman he had ever met.

He is brave, decisive, and intelligent, and he has a knack for seeing things from a forward-looking perspective, which puts him ahead of most men.

What kind of man is worthy of a woman like this?

Today's lunch was very plentiful. In addition to braised pork, there was also a pot of chicken soup. Zhang Minmin also stir-fried a large plate of chicken and duck offal with pickled peppers, which was very appetizing.

After dinner, Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi went to the market to buy pork, chicken, and duck, while Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang stayed at home, waiting for the building materials vendor to deliver the materials.

This time, Bai Zhenzhu bought two pig heads and three chickens and three ducks.

The chicken and duck boss was in charge of removing the feathers, while Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Jingsi took the pig's head back to process it first.

The pig heads I bought today are all around 15 jin (7.5 catties), and I can easily braise two or three in a large pot at once.

Perhaps because the brand gained popularity at noon, there were significantly more buyers in the afternoon.

Moreover, the workers living nearby have all finished get off work, so they usually just grab something quick for lunch and only cook something nice for dinner.

By 7 p.m., all the braised meat except for the leftovers had been sold out.

While I was cleaning, Xia He arrived.

Bai Zhenzhu helped her chop up the braised chicken and put it into two lunch boxes, and also put a box of braised pig's head meat in.

"This pig's head meat is for your uncle and aunt to eat."

Xia He didn't stand on ceremony with her, paid for the braised chicken, and took the meat home.

Seeing that Bai Zhenzhu had left a pig's ear, Bai Jingsi disapproved:

"We have plenty of vegetables at home; it would be better to keep the pig's ears and sell them for money."

"The purpose of making money is to live a good life. Saving these pig ears for you to have with your drinks is a way to live a good life. I thought there would be leftover braised chicken and duck, but I didn't expect to sell them all."

The brother and sister cleaned the shop spotlessly. Bai Zhenzhu then checked the three pots of braising liquid on the ground, which had cooled down completely, so she covered them with breathable lids.

Bai Jingsi was very worried:

"Pearl, it's so hot lately, won't it spoil like this?"

Bai Zhenzhu laughed and said, "No, I learned it from someone. I've cleaned out all the meat scraps and seasonings from the braising liquid, and I've added enough salt. As long as you don't add any raw water or shake it, it'll be fine to leave it overnight. This kind of old broth will make the braised meat even more fragrant."

Bai Jingsi nodded, but since the beginning of autumn, the nights have been getting cooler and cooler, so it shouldn't be bad.

Zhang Minmin cooked dinner again that night, making mung bean porridge and stir-frying chicken and duck giblets. Bai Zhenzhu bought thirty meat buns at the market on her way home.

After finishing her meal, Bai Zhenzhu roughly calculated the day's expenses.

After deducting the cost of samples, personal consumption, and gifts, and further deducting labor and material costs, the net profit is approximately eighty yuan.

Eighty yuan, which would take villagers almost half a month to earn if they went out to work.

And this is only the first day of the trial operation.

Bai Zhenzhu was quite excited; she and her family would never have to live a hard life again.

She will definitely be able to lead them all to a better life.

When she came out, Bai Chengxiang asked:

"Pearl, when will the braised meat shop officially open?"

"The day after tomorrow, the signboard won't be delivered until tomorrow." Bai Zhenzhu said with a smile, "I checked the old almanac, the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day for opening."

Bai Chengxiang said, "Okay, we'll finish the work in half a day tomorrow. My brother and I will come and help you. We also need to buy some firecrackers to set off some festive fireworks."

After the cement floor is finished, it needs to be air-dried before the walls can be painted. Since the opening is the day after tomorrow, Bai Zhenzhu wants to braise some more pig liver, pig intestines, and pig stomach. Her two older brothers can help with the preparation.

When Bai Zhenzhu went to pick up the meat in the afternoon, she had already made arrangements with the butcher to reserve a pig liver, a pig intestine, and two pig stomachs for her.

Bai Zhenzhu knew that in a few years, with the development of the aquaculture industry, there would be more and more varieties of braised meat.

Braised beef, braised chicken feet, chicken wings, duck feet, duck wings, duck necks, duck heads, and also chicken and duck hearts and livers.

But not yet. The market only sells whole chickens, and these chickens are all collected from farmers.

The next morning, Bai Zhenzhu went to get two more pig heads, as well as four chickens and four ducks.

The chicken and duck vendor discussed with her whether he could process the chickens and ducks for her in advance if she wanted a fixed number of them, including removing the feathers and even the down feathers, but it would cost an extra 30 cents per pound.

Bai Zhenzhu silently calculated that the feathers from a chicken weighed about half a pound, which was about right. Besides, if she needed more in the future, the boss would need time to process them, and delaying her braised meat wouldn't be worthwhile.

So they made an agreement with the boss to deliver four chickens and four ducks to the braised meat shop every morning at six o'clock and every afternoon at two o'clock.

The pork vendor said he could also deliver to your door. Once the business officially opens, the daily order volume will be basically determined, and the pork vendor can deliver the required meat all at once in the morning.
