"Fortunately you didn't ask him to give me the house directly."
Xu Yinyin said something, and then slowly opened the box. She was also curious about what the gift was.
When the box was opened, it was revealed to be a rosewood incense box inlaid with white jade and carved plum branches.
The delicate atmosphere of the incense box hits your face.
Xu Yinyin fell in love with her at first sight.
But Xu Dajun on the side looked over and saw that it was an incense box. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "What did I think it was? It's just an incense box? Empty? There's nothing in it?"
"I told him that you love beauty and you are pretty, so I thought he would give you beautiful jewelry or something! This girl still hasn't figured it out!"
Xu Yinyin glanced at him faintly and said, "Be good, go and do your homework."
He doesn't know how to appreciate, so she doesn't care about him.
At night, Xu Yinyin mixed a scent with agarwood and plum blossom essential oil, lit it in the incense box, and placed it on the dressing table. A pleasant fragrance filled the whole house.
Accompanied by this good smell, Xu Yinyin nestled in the soft blue quilt and felt comfortable all over.
It has to be said that the gift sent by the other party was deeply felt in her heart.
Looking at the embroidered patterns on the top of the bed, Xu Yinyin couldn't help but think of Fang Congyun's appearance and his voice, and couldn't help but turn over and then turn over.
She didn't know when she fell asleep. She only remembered vaguely before falling asleep, and there was a reverie in her mind that kept going around.
After a good night's sleep, Xu Yinyin got up before dawn, got dressed, and Xixin brought her hot water from outside. After washing, the two of them went out together.
Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan didn't come back from the shop last night. It was the first day of opening, and it was a place in ancient times. They were somewhat nervous, so they had been preparing the night before, hoping that today would be the first day of opening.
Something went wrong.
When guests come for dinner, it's not good to do this or that. That's a big taboo in a restaurant. Once people come for the first time, they won't come back again.
When Xu Yinyin took Xixin to the shop, everyone was busy. Zhang Sanlang was struggling to wipe off the tables, chairs and benches, trying to wipe off every dust.
In the kitchen, Zhang's aunt Zheng and Zhang's second aunt Wu were helping to light the fire, wash vegetables and so on.
Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan had their hair wrapped up and wore aprons. One was flipping the pork knuckles in the stew pot, and the other was busy making charcoal on the oven rack. The marinated duck would be ready to be roasted in the oven later.
.
Xu Yinyin greeted everyone, then put on an apron and started preparing drinks.
Three days before the opening, guests who enter the store will be given drinks and snacks, one for each person. Although I am not sure how the business will be, I think there will be dozens of servings, and these must be prepared in advance.
Time passed by, the preparations in the kitchen were almost ready, and the rice was steamed.
In addition to a variety of signature rice dishes, there are indispensable accompanying soups. Today we prepare bean sprout soup, as well as a la carte snacks, braised chicken feet, duck feet, braised pig trotters, crispy chicken gizzard slices, spicy lotus root slices, etc.
Chicken feet and pig trotters are limited every day, first come first served.
The snacks given away three days before the opening were fried taro strips and chicken popcorn, and the drink was orange soda. Xu Yinyin specially exchanged baking soda and citric acid with the system, plus honey and sugar, to make the homemade soda, which tasted amazing.
A few of the Zhengs were given a taste first. Their eyes widened and they didn't say anything for a long time, then they knew the effect.
Soon the auspicious time came, and Old Man Xu brought Xu Chunhe and Xu Dalang to help.
After setting off two strings of firecrackers, Xu Chunshan personally pulled down the red silk covering the plaque, and Xu Ji's Pig Knuckle Rice Shop was officially opened.
As early as more than ten days ago, Xu Chunshan sent out a leaflet when the Xu family entertained guests at Fumanlou.
Although there were only a few dozen people who received the flyer at that time, everyone had family and friends who passed it on to each other, and some of them sent the flyer out to others for circulation, plus the already famous Xu Ji Sanitary Ware Shop
, So, after ten days or so, the reputation of Xu Ji’s Pig’s Knuckle Restaurant has been established.
Before the auspicious hour arrived, many people were coming and going outside the shop, looking around.
As soon as the shop officially opened, many people came to the shop.
Without it, everyone would be curious about what kind of pig's trotter rice this is.
I am also curious about the food shop opened by the Xu family, which has a stake in the Xu family's sanitary ware store and already owns a hot pot restaurant. What will it be like?
When customers arrived at the shop, the waiter Zhang Sanlang hurriedly came online to say hello. He had been working as a waiter in Fuman Building for several months, so this waiter was not a problem for him.
Old Man Xu and Xu Chunhe were also helping to greet him. They didn't practice Zhang Sanlang's idiom, but it was not a problem to help pour tea and guide the guests to sit down and have tea.
"How many guests are there? Please come in! What do you want to eat? Our signature dishes include pig's trotter rice, braised pork rice, roast chicken rice and roast duck rice. We also have various snacks..."
"There are four guests, right? Please, please sit at this table. What do you want to eat? I see that the guest is a little hesitant. How about this? We can also choose to go double. The guest wants to eat pig's feet, so
If you want to try roast duck, just choose these two combinations!”
"Three days before our store opens, these snacks and drinks are given away for free, please feel free to try them!"
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir, your signature pig's trotter rice and a portion of crispy chicken gizzards will be here soon!"
As the first batch of customers poured in one after another, all the eight long square tables and a row of long tables built into the wall with eight seats in the shop were filled in an instant.
After ordering, the menu was handed in, and the kitchen quickly became busy.
A bowl of rice is placed upside down on a blue and white porcelain plate. The pork knuckles taken out of the stew pot are placed on a clean chopping board and spread flat on a corner of the porcelain plate. Then add a spoonful of green vegetables, top with some pickled radish, and serve with
Bowl of bean sprout soup, serve!
The first customer saw that it was served shortly after ordering, and he couldn't help but secretly marveled at the speed of the food being served.
The gift that was just served was a small plate, half long and half round. According to the waiter, it was fried taro strips and chicken popcorn, which also made him curious.
The orange drink was even more surprising. He didn't care about anything else and started discussing it with the guests he didn't know.
"This orange water! Drink it! I've never tasted this before! Have you ever drank it before?"
"Never! This orange water is really delicious! The taste is both novel and memorable! Hiccup! It's so comfortable!"
“The fried taro strips and chicken popcorn are also unique and delicious!”
"This Xu's store really doesn't disappoint!"
Looking at the pig's trotter rice served here, the arrangement and color of the plate, etc., I have never seen it before. Even the well-informed people who have been to the capital said they have never seen such food before.
The soft and glutinous pig's feet, the crispy roast duck, the sweet and salty roast chicken, the melt-in-your-mouth braised pork, and the refreshing side dishes and diced radish, as well as the bowl of soup full of umami.
After one plate, it tastes amazing and has endless aftertaste!
The shop was full, and there were many people waiting outside the shop. There was a lot of praise and admiration inside, especially about the orange water. Those who couldn't see outside couldn't help but feel itchy in their hearts, and couldn't wait to go in and experience it.
