Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

Lin Zhengjun took about thirty garlic cloves and crushed them with a mortar.

Keep the other garlic cloves for later use. Once the garlic cloves are mashed into garlic paste, they will have a dead garlic smell and the taste will be bad if you don’t eat them for a day.

After stewing for an hour, the offal was already cooked through with a poke of chopsticks.

At this time, the aroma of pig offal was so strong that it made everyone present drool rapidly.

Everyone finished their work and watched eagerly.

Then all the pig offal was taken out of the water.

"I'll cut some offal for you, and you can try it and give your opinions."

"Yeah, yeah!" Everyone nodded, looking expectant.

Lin Hongmei broke the sesame cake into pieces so that it took up most of the bowl. She then cut the pig lungs and heart into small pieces and put them in the bowl. She also cut some pig intestines and put them on top. Then she poured a spoonful of broth and served it to Bai Weiguo first.

Bai Weiguo leaned over the table and took a few bites. He smiled and said, "Except for a slight taste of internal organs, the main flavor is the rich meaty aroma left by the ten kilograms of first-class meat. The other tasters don't need to try it. I can guarantee that it will definitely sell well!"

"What you said means you want to eat alone, right?" Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

Both girls pouted, "Hmph, I've been waiting for so long but I'm not allowed to eat! The old man is so mean!"

"Everyone, eat and have a try!" Lin Hongmei smiled and cut a few more bowls.

"The small intestine is not bitter, and the lungs are not fishy. The sesame cake can be eaten after being soaked to soften it, or eaten dry!" Lin Zhengjun tasted it and nodded repeatedly.

Compared to those old Yanjing braised pork restaurants, the soup is a bit thin, but as time goes by, the taste becomes naturally richer.

Bai Weiguo ate a few more mouthfuls, smacked his lips and said, "Hongmei's cooking skills are really good. She has a good grasp of the heat when stewing the meat. The fat in the meat and the marrow in the big bones are stewed out and dissolved in the soup. The smell of meat and oil permeates the offal. Not to mention eating the offal, even a bowl of soup can be used to eat sesame cakes and steamed bread!"

Feng Xianzhi and a few others were lying on the dining table, holding their large bowls and eating hard, making a series of snoring noises, just like the pigs in the production team's pig farm.

And they also tried different ways of eating it.

Some ate up all the sesame cakes at the bottom of the bowl first, then moved on to the lungs, small intestines, pig hearts and livers;

Some people don't soak the sesame cake, but take a bite of meat, a bite of sesame cake and a sip of soup;

After finishing the dry food, they all held up the bowls with both hands and drank the remaining soup. Then they wiped their mouths and sighed with satisfaction and happiness.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Zhengjun asked.

The two girls nodded like chicks pecking at rice and said, "It's delicious, so delicious!"

Feng Xianzhi smiled and said, "Business will definitely be good!"

Lin Zhengjun looked at the time and saw it was already half past ten. He smiled and said, "Then let's officially open the store today!"

"We haven't bought the firecrackers yet." Bai Weiguo scratched his head.

"No rush. We'll officially open at 11:30."

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Let's split up into two groups. You go to the daily necessities store to buy firecrackers, and I'll take my sister and the others to buy uniforms!"

"it is good!"

Soon, Lin Zhengjun drove a tractor and took everyone to the state-owned department store.

State-owned department stores have become Lin Zhengjun's daily shopping place, and they are no longer surprised.

But this was the first time for Feng Xianzhi and her friends here. They were shocked by the smooth terrazzo floor, clear glass windows, and dazzling shelves.

Zheng Dali was wandering around with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Zhengjun rushing over to greet him. He smiled warmly and said, "Zhengjun, why are you here when you're not staying at home with your bride?"

"I'm here to buy something."

Lin Zhengjun said with a smile: "Buy clothes for the four of them. They should be dirt-resistant and festive. Each of them should have two sets of the same clothes!"

"How about this one?" Zheng Dali pointed to a dark red corduroy jacket with buttons.

"Okay! This is it. Do you have an apron?"

"Yes, it's white, two yuan each, with a cloth pocket that can hold things." Zheng Dali took out an apron and said with a smile.

"Okay, two pieces each." Lin Zhengjun paid the money and cloth coupons and kept the receipt for easy settlement later.

Zheng Dali laughed and said, "You are..."

Lin Zhengjun smiled and said, "Oh, that's right. I opened a small restaurant opposite the state-owned Workers and Peasants Restaurant on North Street. I'm buying uniforms for them!"

"Wow! A private restaurant? I heard someone in Huanghuai City did this secretly. Yours should be the first one in Huaibian County, right?"

"It should be, but we are not doing it secretly. We have a business license, it is legal and aboveboard. We are also filling the gaps in the state-owned service industry and meeting the dietary needs of the citizens!"

"You are indeed an expert in side jobs!"

Zheng Dali praised him for a few words and then complained: "When did you open your business? You didn't even tell me so I could give you a red envelope as a token of my appreciation!"

There are no private restaurants open nowadays!

It is a rare item wherever it is placed.

There was no such thing as sending flower baskets, ribbons, plaques, lucky cats or money trees to friends when they open a business in later generations. The fact that Zheng Dali thought of giving a red envelope showed that he was very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

"It hasn't opened yet. I just did a food trial. I plan to open it at noon today, but you must not send me a red envelope. Keep a low profile." Lin Zhengjun said with a smile.

"I understand, but what delicious food did you make?"

“Old Yanjing stew.”

"Never eaten."

“It’s actually pork soup!”

"Wow! I love this. I'll go over and try it at noon."

Zheng Dali really wanted to make friends with Lin Zhengjun, but he could feel that Lin Zhengjun didn't pay much attention to him. Didn't this opportunity come?

"Okay, welcome."

Lin Zhengjun drove the tractor and took the girls back to the hotel.

As soon as everyone changed into new uniforms and put on white aprons, they immediately felt much more energetic and their enthusiasm was instantly boosted.

After a while, Bai Weiguo also bought a string of firecrackers, placed them at the door and lit them, and then Wu Hongdan and the others began to wipe the tables and chairs and wait for customers to come.

Between 11:12 and :, no customers came. Bai Weiguo was a little anxious and asked, "What's going on? Are all the noses blind?"

Lin Zhengjun was very calm and not surprised at all.

It is normal for a new store that has just opened and has no reputation to have no customers.

At a quarter past twelve, no one had arrived yet. Mr. Bai looked at his watch and said with a sad face, "Oh, if no one comes, it will be past dinner time!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a flour mill uniform stopped his bicycle at the door and asked, "Are you selling food?"

"Comrade, welcome."

Zhao Xiuli immediately walked over and said with a smile on her face, "We sell Yanjing-style stewed food, sesame biscuits, and side dishes, such as braised pork slices, fried peanuts, fried radish balls, hand-shredded cabbage, etc. Come and try them!"

In fact, strictly speaking, the ingredients used in Lin Zhengjun's pork offal soup and Lao Yanjing's stewed pork are not the same, for example, they contain more pig hearts and livers.

But it doesn’t matter, isn’t the plus version very reasonable?

Lin Zhengjun asked the waiter to introduce it this way, mainly because he thought that everyone yearns to go to the capital but has no chance to go there. If you mention the capital's braised pork flavor, everyone will want to try it.

Looking at Zhao Xiuli's sweet and lovely smile, the middle-aged man was stunned for three seconds, as if he was in a dream.

How fresh! The waiters in the restaurant can actually smile!

Before this, he was eating at the state-owned Workers and Peasants Restaurant across the street, and he was almost beaten because he said the food was too salty!
