Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

There is a wooden bucket under the sink, with a bamboo pole hanging from it on a string. The other end of the bamboo pole leads to the backyard. As long as you gently pull the string, thin water will flow from the other end.

In fact, there is also a small wooden bucket hanging high at the other end. When the bamboo pole is not pulled, the two holes are parallel. When the bamboo pole is pulled, one is higher and the other is lower. The water flow from the high place naturally falls, which makes it feel a bit whimsical. .

In order to make it look better, Yan Xia also customized a bamboo frame to cover the barrel, leaving a circular pit in the middle. The dirty water from washing hands flows down the circular pit. As long as you don't look closely, you can't see the sewage. Changing the bucket is also easy, just pick up the bamboo basket.

The backyard kitchen is combined into one.

A full twenty square meters.

It can accommodate quite a few people.

There are no changes to the bedroom and utility room. After all, the bed boards inside are all new.

The second floor has changed even more than the first floor.

First, a bar counter was built, and a whole cabinet was placed behind it, which would be filled with drinks and other items in case guests on the second floor wanted to buy them. Secondly, a row of wooden chairs was placed on the balcony, so that one could rest against the balcony and enjoy the view.

All windows are also arched.

It was finally decided to place seven tables on the first floor and 13 tables on the second floor, a total of twenty tables.

Each table is blocked by a screen to prevent guests from sitting together and feeling awkward.

There are two small private rooms in the innermost corner of the second floor. They are called private rooms, but they are actually just two wooden boards with a gauze curtain.

Blocking people but not soundproofing.

But the privacy is slightly better.

Suitable for more expensive guests to dine.

Although she didn't know if there were any distinguished guests in her restaurant, it was one thing whether they came or not. She had to have them!

The reason why she didn't make a curtain was because she bought a batch of high-priced smokeless fruit wood charcoal to burn hot pot food. What if the private room was not ventilated and the guests were poisoned by carbon monoxide.

At least the gauze curtains are safer.

The tables are also custom-made.

A hole was dug in the middle, and the iron pot she designed was placed. Under the iron pot was an iron plate with carbon placed on it. The ignited carbon was put into the iron plate, and the waiter took the iron plate and put it under the table, and then waited for the hot pot rack. Just go up.

Unlike ancient stoves, the iron pots are mounted on top and cannot be taken off.

In terms of resemblance, Yan Xia thinks the design is like a modern charcoal barbecue.

The charcoal fire is put on first, and then the iron plate is put on. The guests bake it themselves. After eating, the iron plate is taken away. The charcoal fire is removed and can be used by the next guest. After all, charcoal fire is very expensive.

All the dishes and chopsticks were bought.

The chopsticks are special hot pot chopsticks that are extended to prevent guests from being burned when eating.

The restaurant had to recruit employees, otherwise it would be too busy to rely on family members alone. Yan Xia didn't want the recipe to be leaked, so she found Kong Ya and asked him to help introduce some servants.

The Kongya people do not sell their people, they only sell their land and houses.

But a good friend of his is in this business.

After his introduction, Yan Xia met Zou Yaren.

Zou Yaren was also very smart and understood her needs.

Ten good servants and maids were selected for her to choose from.

Yan Xia only chose six.

They are all refugees with innocent family backgrounds and missing relatives.

Four men and two women.

After Yan Xia signed the deed of sale with them.

Give them new names. There is a custom here. After buying servants, you must change their names, so that the servants will treat the master's family as their own relatives and will be more loyal.

The maids used the character Bao and were called Baochun and Baoxia respectively.

The attendants used the word "qian" for their generation, and they were called Qian Rong, Qian Hua, Qian Fu, and Qian Gui respectively.

This lucky name will definitely make her restaurant a lot of money.

The six of them lived in the backyard of the restaurant, with two people living in one room and three rooms left vacant.

Jin Lu and Jing Shui were assigned to be restaurant stewards by her.

After several months of Yan Xia's teaching, his children and wives can already recognize Xiaoban's characters and can use abacus very smoothly.

Jin Fu and his two daughters stayed at the pastry shop, making pastries with sweet-scented osmanthus and winter plum. Xiaoji and Jin Fu were responsible for selling and packaging.

As for Xiaohe, just lie down and take good care of yourself.

As for Yan Xia, she was running back and forth, helping whoever was busy.

Anyway, it's so close, it only takes two steps.

It was mid-December when everything was completed.

During this period, the cattle seller called me twice.

He said that the cow would die if it was not slaughtered.

He was dragged away again and again by Yan Xia.

Fortunately, everyone is still alive.

The temperature has dropped to about two degrees. The day before the opening, Yan Xia bought all the seasonings and side dishes. She marinated the offal and meat of the four cows, so that they could be stored for more than half a month and one cow would be sold fresh.

It should keep for about 4 days.

The remaining parts that cannot be sold are used for food, and even cowhide can be used to make shoes and other items.

All the butter has been refined, let it cool, and after it solidifies, add all the prepared seasonings. Be sure to be careful. When the base ingredients are cooked, pour them into flat-bottomed pots one after another, filling 60 pots.

It can be cut after the base material hardens. One pot can be cut into 12 pieces, and one piece of base material can be used for one table of guests.

I don’t like spicy food here, so Yan Xia made two levels of spiciness, one is slightly spicy and the other is mildly spicy.

Let the guests choose at that time.

The menu is a wooden board with meat dishes carved on the front and vegetarian dishes on the back.

The price is also written down.

There is a line of small words at the bottom, which is about drinks and drinks.

The prices of wine range from high to low, and there are only two types of drinks for the time being. One is iced soy milk, which is supplied by a tofu shop in the town. A bucket of soy milk can hold about 50 cups, and it only sells for 25 Wen per bucket. She sells a cup for 5 It's not too expensive. After all, it's sold in a store. It's different from the one-bowl ones on the street. There's no sugar in it, but she did. The iced soy milk is sweet, and it's so refreshing to eat hot pot and drink it. hot.

There is also a green plum juice she bought made from green plum paste soaked in sugar water.

The price is low. Green plum sauce is pickled in many farmers’ homes. Because they are reluctant to add sugar, it is not so sour. On weekdays, it is eaten with porridge as an appetizer. Some also add salt. It is eaten just like soybean paste and is used to make vegetable.

Yan Xia bought pure acid, mixed with sugar and water at a ratio of 1:2.

Take a sip, it's sour and sweet with the fragrance of plums.

It has the same effect as sour plum soup.

As for the types of meat sold in restaurants, in fact, it is not just beef. Most of them are pork and mutton. Beef is hard to find and belongs to the special menu. It is not engraved on the wooden board, but is engraved on another board separately like braised pork. Wait until the goods are available before taking orders to customers.

On the eve of the opening, Yan Xia and her family sat in the restaurant eating hot pot.

One table can seat 4 people. If it is squeezed, 4 more tables can be added, that is, two people sit in a row. In order to save hot pot base, Yan Xia only opened two tables, one for the maids and one for their family. .

Xiao Ji insisted on sitting at the servants' table, but Yan Xia didn't stop him. After all, the base and dishes at both tables were the same.

Each has a beef platter, braised food platter, offal platter, winter melon slices, bamboo shoot slices, cabbage, radish and a plate of hand-rolled noodles.
