The restaurant officially opened, and the whole family, except for Shuo Shuo, got up very early in the morning.

Liu Fang and Xu Yin both changed into new clothes.

Liu Fang wore a light yellow shirt, her hair was tied up, and she looked much more energetic.

Xu Yin wore that red short-sleeved shirt. She had applied face cream today and felt that she smelled wonderful.

"Pearl, that Pechoin you bought smells amazing! Is it very expensive?"

After she finished speaking, Liu Fang glanced at her. That wasn't just expensive, it was ridiculously expensive.

Just one set, and it costs several tens of dollars.

Bai Zhenzhu wiped the table with a handkerchief, saying:

“We women are like flowers, our best years are so short, we should take good care of ourselves. Sisters-in-law, don’t be stingy, we should also learn to invest in ourselves.”

Xu Yin looked at Bai Zhenzhu's face. Her younger sister had always loved beauty since she was a child. She had suffered terribly during her years in the Pei family. But it had only been a short time since the divorce, and she seemed to have regained her beauty all of a sudden.

“Pearl is right, sister-in-law. We also need to take good care of ourselves. Men are like dogs, lest some cheapskate outside runs away at the drop of a hat.”

Bai Chengxiang, who was sweeping the floor, refused to continue:

"You silly woman, you're talking nonsense. Even if I were a dog, I'd only gnaw on this hard bone of yours."

Liu Fang smiled shyly and said, "I applied it today too."

Bai Chenglei set up the tent and just stood there grinning foolishly.

He felt that his Fangfang was very well-behaved today, and even smelled nice.

When the braised meat shop was about to deliver the goods, Bai Chengxiang and Xu Yin rode Bai Zhenzhu's bicycle over there, leaving the tricycle at the restaurant.

After a quick breakfast, Bai Zhenzhu mixed paste to paste the menu, Liu Fang washed all the dishes in the cupboard, and Bai Chenglei tidied up the backyard and lit the stove.

Around eight o'clock, the food delivery people started arriving one after another.

Then I started washing and preparing the vegetables.

Wash and chop the chicken and duck, chop all the scallions, ginger and garlic, and wash and chop all the vegetables.

Liu Fang can also cook, but cooking in the countryside isn't very particular, and there aren't many seasonings at home, so even if she wanted to, there wasn't much room for her to improvise.

But her knife skills are undeniable.

Bai Zhenzhu taught her how to slice fish: first, remove the fish meat, then chop off the fish bones and head, and finally slice the fish meat into thin slices.

After demonstrating, Liu Fang tried it herself. At first, she sliced ​​the slices quite thickly, but she gradually improved.

Once the fish meat is prepared, marinate it separately:

"Sister-in-law, if you want the fish fillets to be tender, you have to marinate them with starch. You don't need too many seasonings. Just some pepper, salt, five-spice powder, minced scallions, ginger, and garlic, and marinate them well."

At first, Bai Zhenzhu was the head chef, and Liu Fang assisted her.

The braised pork was quickly simmering, and the backyard was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Zhang Hongying brought over a sweater to knit, and after looking at the menu, she was also full of curiosity:

"Pearl, is your Xinjiang-style braised chicken a dish from Xinjiang?"

Bai Zhenzhu wiped her hands and came over:

"Yes, that's how they eat it over there."

There were no outsiders in the shop at the moment, and Zhang Hongying was also shocked by the price, so she lowered her voice and said:

"38? Isn't that too expensive?"

This is because he considers Bai Zhenzhu a friend, which is why he asked her in person.

Bai Zhenzhu was a major customer of her family's grain and oil store, and she couldn't wait for Bai Zhenzhu's business to boom.

"It's not expensive," Bai Zhenzhu said with a smile. "38 is a large portion, enough for your family of four."

Zhang Hongying smiled and said, "Oh, is that so? Then our family will come over at noon to try your delicious dish and support you."

This was something the couple had discussed last night; Bai Zhenzhu's restaurant was opening, and their family had to come and support it to boost its popularity.

Most people these days are honest; if you're good to me, I'll definitely be good to you in return.

Bai Zhenzhu immediately smiled and said:

"Great! We're having a 20% discount today for the grand opening. I'll make it for you early and call the kids over at noon."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work." Zhang Hongying went back to knitting.

Bai Zhenzhu then took out the receipt book and taught Bai Chenglei and Liu Fang how to order food.

The receipt book comes with carbon paper. You can write the names of the dishes directly on it. At the end, the bill is calculated and a discount is applied. The carbon copy is given to the customer, and the original order is kept for easy accounting and reconciliation.

When the braised meat from the braised meat shop was ready, Bai Chengxiang delivered some over.

Liu Fang placed it on an enamel tea tray and put it in the deli display case.

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Chenglei took out some firecrackers and set them off a few times.

The children ran over when they heard the firecrackers. They saw the owner handing out melon seeds and candies for the new store opening, and some passersby and owners of nearby shops also came over.

Bai Zhenzhu carried a large enamel tea tray filled with melon seeds, candies, and peanuts, and handed out a handful to each of the onlookers.

"Isn't this the 'Braised Pork Beauty'? Has she opened another restaurant?"

"Good Taste Restaurant looks quite clean. Their braised pork is delicious, so the other dishes should be good too."

"Boss Bai, what are some of your specialty dishes?"

Bai Zhenzhu replied with a smile:

"My family makes sauerkraut fish, I guarantee you've never had it before."

The man didn't believe him: "Everyone has pickled fish at home, my wife knows how to make it."

Bai Zhenzhu knew this man was the owner of the general store in front, so she said:

"When you're a boss, come and try it out when you have time. Would I lie to you? Besides sauerkraut fish, my family also has a specialty dish called Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken."

A man who had traveled far from home stepped forward from the crowd:

"Xinjiang-style braised chicken, my dad used to have a comrade-in-arms from Xinjiang. They don't eat pork there, they only eat beef, mutton and chicken."

The man went into the shop and found a seat.

"Boss Bai, give me a plate of Xinjiang-style braised chicken, I want to try it and see if it's good."

This is where the advantages of White Pearl smashing the wall become apparent.

The shop door was wide open, and the situation inside was clearly visible from the outside.

There was a large refrigerator in the store, and the ceiling fans overhead were spinning, making it look cool.

Some people who were tired from shopping thought that since they were going to eat anyway, they might as well go in and have some fresh air and cool off.

Seeing that people were entering the store so quickly, Bai Zhenzhu hurriedly shouted:

"Today is our grand opening, and as always, we're offering a 20% discount for the first three days. Everyone is welcome to come and try our food."

Inside the shop, Bai Chenglei came out carrying a brand-new teapot and poured a cup of tea for each seated customer.

The first person to enter the store was startled when they saw the menu:

"Boss Bai, your dishes are too expensive. A large portion of Big Plate Chicken is 38 yuan, and a medium portion is 26 yuan. Who can afford this?"

Bai Zhenzhu explained with a smile:

"Brother, this dish is a large portion. Even this medium portion is too much for one person to finish. And this dish comes with a staple food, so you don't need to order extra rice."

The man's clothes suggested he was well-dressed, so he was probably a businessman.

He stopped arguing: "Okay, give me a medium size, I'll take the rest with me."

Bai Zhenzhu: "Okay." She placed the order promptly.

The other table had three people who also thought the menu was too expensive, but the prices of the other home-style dishes were about the same.
