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

Bai Zhenzhu's braised pig's head is particularly popular; two pig's heads sold out in one morning, and by noon, only half a chicken was left.

Bai Zhenzhu simply put the half chicken back in its place.

Zhang Minmin smiled when she saw the braised chicken she brought back:

"Everyone says that restaurants serve good food, and this is really true. We have braised pork every day."

She had already cooked potato rice, stir-fried some spicy and sour chicken giblets, cooked some green beans and eggplant, and made a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

The pigeon soup specially prepared to nourish Huo Zheng's body has also been cooked.

"Third sister-in-law, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"I learned it all from you." Zhang Minmin said regretfully, "It's a pity I can't be in two places at once, otherwise I would like to open a restaurant in addition to the clothing store."

Bai Zhenzhu helped serve the rice:

"Don't work too hard, the clothing store can make money."

Moreover, she also heard from Xia He that opening a clothing store is the real money-maker, and the key is that it's not tiring at all.

When Xiahe's store was booming, it could earn more than a thousand yuan a day. At that time, the profit of clothing stores was huge.

Zhang Minmin was just saying it casually: "Anyway, I'm definitely going to open a clothing store."

After finishing her meal, Bai Zhenzhu heard that the grain and oil store next door had installed a telephone, so she went to make a call home.

The Bai family's house wasn't far from the village chief's. The village chief shouted something, and Bai Zhenzhu called out three minutes later, and Old Man Bai answered the phone.

I heard the braised meat shop has opened and business is pretty good. Old Man Bai nodded in approval.

"That's good, that's good. By the way, Pearl, your call came at the right time. Your uncle is taking Xiaojun to school tomorrow, could you please meet him?"

“Xiaojun is starting school, no problem.” Bai Zhenzhu left the phone number of the grain and oil shop. “The bus from the town to Yuan County usually arrives around nine o’clock. I’ll have my older brother pick up Uncle and the others. You can tell Uncle to wait at the bus station. My shop is right by the train station, so it’s very convenient for Uncle and Xiaojun to take the train to Beijing.”

After asking a few more questions about her family situation, Bai Zhenzhu hung up the phone.

The grain and oil shop owner refused to accept payment.

These past two days, his two sons have been eating braised eggs every day, and they also got so many bricks from Bai Zhenzhu for free. How could he possibly accept such a small amount of money?

Moreover, I heard that Bai Zhenzhu is also going to open a restaurant, which will help his business in the future.

"We're neighbors, so don't be shy with us, girl. If your restaurant needs any grains, oils, cigarettes, or alcohol, you can get them from me. I'll give you a wholesale price."

"Okay, it's settled then, Brother Miao. From now on, I'll take whatever I need from you. We'll keep accounts and settle the accounts with you at the end of each month. Does that sound alright?"

"Okay, that's a good idea, and it's not troublesome at all."

The owner's surname is Miao, and his name is Miao Wei. In addition to grains, oils, cigarettes, and alcohol, his shop also sells seasonings, dried goods, vermicelli, and other household items, which is convenient for Bai Zhenzhu.

The three Bai brothers were very happy to hear that their eldest uncle was going to send Xiaojun to school in Beijing.

The cement floor downstairs has been laid, and Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang went to help out at the braised meat shop.

Cleaning pig offal is a rather troublesome task. Back home, people would scrub it repeatedly with wood ash. Since there was no wood ash here, Bai Zhenzhu scooped up a bowl of flour, added white vinegar and white wine, and had Bai Chenglei wash it three times.

Bai Chenglei was surprised:

"Pearl, your method makes the wastewater so clean."

The proprietress next door saw it too and praised it:

"Your braised meat is really clean. The pig intestines are even whiter than when I clean them myself at home. Save me a pound of braised pig liver, and one pig ear too. My dad is coming, so I'll have my husband have a few drinks with him tonight."

"Okay, sis, I'll save it for you."

"How do you handle the sewage? I'd like to learn."

Bai Zhenzhu explained the treatment method. When she heard that not only flour but also liquor were needed, the older sister felt sorry for herself and decided to use wood ash instead, since her hometown had sent a lot of it.

The pig's head meat and pig's liver have already been prepared and are being braised.

Several stoves were burning in the shop, and the temperature was very high; even the ceiling fans overhead were blowing hot air.

When she bought a TV last time, she saw that the department store sold air conditioners, but at that time, air conditioners were not only expensive, but also out of stock, and she couldn't buy one without knowing someone.

After cleaning the pig intestines and stomach, you should also remove some of the lard inside, so that the braised offal will taste better.

After cleaning the pig offal, Bai Zhenzhu stuffed the plate she brought into the pig's belly, then blanched it and started braising it.

All the ingredients have been braised, and the signboard has been delivered.

The three Bai brothers hung up the signboard.

The signs in this era were very simple, just a white board with the words "Good Taste Braised Meat Shop" written in large red characters.

The other sign reads "Good Taste Restaurant".

The woman next door exclaimed in surprise:

"Girl, you're going to open a restaurant?"

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Yes, the restaurant is inside the market."

"This girl is really amazing," the older woman said enviously.

Bai Zhenzhu: "Sister, you're amazing! Your business is really good, and the noodles are delicious too."

She had eaten there this morning. This place mainly sells rice noodles, and the braised pork intestine rice noodles were quite good. The older sister gave her a lot of pork intestines.

People these days are quite honest when it comes to doing business.

With the sign up and free samples offered, more people came to check it out.

As the braised meats were scooped out of the pot one by one, the aroma wafted far and wide.

It's rush hour again, and there are many people at the market buying groceries. Seeing that the braised meat at the Hao Weidao Braised Meat Shop is freshly taken out of the pot and still steaming hot, passersby are tempted and almost everyone who tries it buys some.

The wholesale price of pork stomach and pork liver is the same, but pork liver is priced at 5 yuan per jin (500g), which is considered a lead-in product.

Today was just a trial sale, but I didn't expect so many people to buy the offal, especially the pig liver, which sold out very quickly.

She has a wide variety of braised meats here, and you can even get them as a platter. Everyone says that's great, because you can try braised meats at the same price point.

Some customers like the braised meat broth, and Bai Zhenzhu is generous, pouring a large spoonful over them.

They're generous with rounding down, rounding down anything less than 50 cents.

She was beautiful and always had a smile on her face, and in just two days, she earned the nickname "Braised Pork Beauty".

I heard the braised meat shop officially opens tomorrow, and everyone says they're going to come and support it.

Xiahe closed early today, so I arrived at the braised meat shop around 5 p.m.

Bai Zhenzhu's eyes lit up when she saw her:

"You're all dressed up so nicely today, are you going on a date?"

Xia He brushed her hair aside, her expression somewhat helpless:

"My mom asked me to bring some braised meat to my boyfriend's house."

She treated Bai Zhenzhu like family and started complaining without hesitation:

“My boyfriend and I have been dating for several years, and my mom is urging us to get married because she’s afraid he won’t marry me.”

Bai Zhenzhu was puzzled. It was indeed rare for couples to date for several years without getting married, but she didn't want to inquire too much.

"Do you have any plans to get married?"

Xia He let out a soft hum through her nose:

“I used to be interested, but now I’m less so. Ever since he was promoted to section chief, he’s been lukewarm towards me. His family doesn’t bring up marriage, and I don’t want to rush into it. But we’ve been dating for so long, it wouldn’t make sense not to get married.”

In the end, she bought a braised chicken and took it with her; she likes to eat it.
