Return to 1988: Beginning with a marriage robbery, the rich are soaring

On July 7, Selenium Shihe Slag officially opened.

In this era, the opening of a restaurant did not have as much publicity as in later generations. There were no hanging banners, no flower baskets, and no red carpets...

In the morning, Liang Baikai set off a firecracker with the word "ten thousand characters" at the door of the restaurant and opened the door, which was considered officially open for business.

Restaurants don't have customers until after [-] noon, and the morning is spent on preparations.

In the kitchen, Wang Xiaoping and Zhang Yue pushed together, Xu Qingqing and Wang Xiaohong washed vegetables, Li Jie chopped vegetables, and Liang Baikai stir-fried minced meat.The boss and employees came together, and the six of them worked while talking and laughing.

At about eleven o'clock, everything was ready in the kitchen, and Xu Qingqing and the four waiters came outside, ready to welcome the guests.

"It's finally almost time to eat, why am I a little nervous?"

"Why are you nervous? Look at your potential!"

"I wonder if there are any guests coming in for dinner?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen!"

"I really hope there are more guests!"

“The signboard of our Hezha Restaurant is larger than that of other restaurants, and it is so conspicuous that anyone passing by can see it at a glance.”

"Also, our place is a glass showcase. You can see the tables, chairs and benches in the store from the outside. You can tell that it is a place for eating. People who need to eat will come in when they see it."

"..."

Wang Xiaohong and others were whispering to each other in the store, some were excited and some were apprehensive.

Xu Qingqing was alone at the bar, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.

It was her first time as a boss and she had never eaten in a restaurant before. She was worried that she would be embarrassed if she could not handle the guests well when they came.

I recalled the simulated scene with Wang Xiaohong and the others over and over again in my heart, clenching my fists to cheer myself up: I can do it!

Liang Baikai was alone in the kitchen, leisurely ordering a Yellow Crane Tower.

He was not as nervous as Xu Qingqing and Wang Xiaohong, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

In his previous life, even if he invested one billion to develop a real estate project, he didn't feel this way.

Because no matter how much money he made in his previous life, it was just a number to him. No matter how big a project he worked on, he had no sense of accomplishment.

He seems to be just a money-making machine.

But this life is different. Even if it’s just a small restaurant like this, it’s my wife’s career, and it’s my wife’s hope for the future.

"Silly girl!"

"Actually, you don't have to do anything. As long as you have me, you will also live a happy life!"

Liang Baikai couldn't help but smile as he thought of Xu Qingqing's "silly" energy.

"However, since you want to have your own business, since you like the practical feeling of starting your own business, then... I will be by your side to help you create a world!"

After taking a puff of the cigarette, he muttered to himself again: "You said, as long as the hotel business is good, we will agree to buy a car. We should be able to buy a car tomorrow!"

"It's just... I don't know when Liu Fangmin can give me his driver's license!"

Time passed unknowingly.

When it was almost 11:30, a middle-aged couple in ordinary clothes came to the door of Hezha Store and soon walked into the store again.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Huang! Why are you here?"

Xu Qingqing hurriedly came out of the bar, greeted him, and asked in surprise.

Wang Benfu said with a smile: "Qingqing, your restaurant is opening today, and your Aunt Huang and I are here to support it! I wish you a happy opening! Business is booming!"

Huang Lanzhi also smiled and said: "That's right, your and Xiaoliang's restaurant is opening, how can your Uncle Wang and I not come?"

"Thank you, Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang!" Xu Qingqing said politely: "There are no customers yet, so you can sit down wherever you want and have a taste of the slag in our store!"

Wang Benfu said with a smile: "I have long heard Pingping and Xiaohong say that your Hezha is delicious, and I have been greedy for a long time!"

Xu Qingqing smiled and said: "You can eat it soon!"

After speaking, he personally brought the two of them to a small table for two people. Wang Xiaohong immediately ran over, turned on the two alcohol stoves on the table, and poured some alcohol into them.

"Xiaohong, is this the alcohol stove you're talking about?"

Huang Lanzhi looked at the alcohol stove and asked in surprise.

Wang Xiaohong smiled and said: "Yes, but Brother Liang said that when pouring alcohol into the stove, you must wait until the fire in the stove goes out."

While they were talking, Wang Xiaoping and Zhang Yue each brought a small pot over. After Wang Xiaohong took a match to light the alcohol, the two pots were put on the stove and they burned.

Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi looked into the pots. One of the pots contained minced meat and dregs, exuding an alluring aroma.

In another pot, there is big bone winter melon soup.

There are no big bones, just bone soup and winter melon slices with some green onions floating on top.

While the two were still watching, Li Jie came over with a banquet tray, took out small plates and placed them on the table one by one.

First, there are four appetizers of orchid beans, fried peanuts, molded tofu, and pickled ear fungus.

Then there are four cold dishes: shredded lettuce, shredded kelp, cucumber, and yuba.

Then there are four vegetarian dishes: fried lettuce slices, hot and sour potato slices, stir-fried bean sprouts, and stir-fried bok choy.

Finally, there are four half-vegetarian dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, stir-fried pork with squeezed peppers, and minced pork and eggplant.

The eight dishes are all served on small plates and the portions are very small.

There are eighteen dishes in total, including pots, plates and plates, which are piled on the small table.

Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi had long heard from their son and daughter that the Hezha set meal had a lot of dishes, but when so many dishes were actually placed in front of them, they were still shocked.

Even when celebrating weddings and funerals with relatives and friends, the maximum number of dishes served during the banquet is eight dishes and one soup. How could there be eighteen dishes at one time?

For most of their lives, this is definitely the first time that the two of them have had so many dishes in one meal.

Wang Xiaohong brought a basin of coir raincoat rice, handed Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi a small bowl and chopsticks each, and said, "Mom, Dad, try it. Our minced meat with dregs is very delicious."

Wang Benfu couldn't wait for a long time. He picked up the rice spoon and scooped out a bowl of rice for Huang Lanzhi and himself, and was about to scoop the minced meat and dregs into the bowl.

"Wait first!"

At this moment, Xu Qingqing came over and stopped Wang Benfu's actions.

Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi both looked at her in surprise.

Xu Qingqing smiled: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Huang, there will be an egg added to the dregs! You eat other dishes first."

With so many dishes in front of you, there is no need to wait for the minced meat to be combined.

Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi immediately picked up the dishes they wanted to eat and began to feast.

"good to eat!"

"Really delicious!"

"Xiao Liang's craftsmanship is much better than mine!"

"That's necessary, otherwise how could anyone open a restaurant!"

"Ah! I smell the aroma of the food next door every day, and today I finally ate the Braised Dishes. It's really delicious!"

"..."

While the two were eating, with food in their mouths, they didn't forget to talk.

Xu Qingqing smiled after hearing this, broke the eggs in her hands, and added them to the pot.

Wang Xiaohong saw it from the side, her face turned red, and she said sheepishly: "Boss, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I forgot to add an egg to the dough!"

Xu Qingqing waved her hand: "Don't forget it next time!"

Wang Xiaohong nodded quickly.

When Wang Benfu and Huang Lanzhi saw it, they were both surprised. Adding minced meat to the dregs was already outrageous, but now they even added eggs.

Usually, they are reluctant to eat an egg at home!

Xu Qingqing used a spoon to stir the eggs and minced meat evenly, and the pot boiled again in a while.

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Huang, you can eat Hezhao now!"
