Chapter 244 Part 1 I Will Do It
Manager Sun was overjoyed: "Finally, you're here. Come in, come in, let's talk."
As they were talking, they were welcomed into the restaurant. After they entered the private room on the second floor, Manager Sun asked the waiters to serve tea and snacks.
It was past dinner time and the second floor was very quiet, with only the restaurant waiter cleaning.
"I wonder what the new dish is this time?" asked Steward Sun, rubbing his hands.
Lin didn't waste any words and asked Sifu to take out the braised pig's head and put it in front of Manager Sun.
"Braised pork, or more accurately, braised pig's head."
Manager Sun said with trembling hands, "Here it is! This is the new dish we will serve to the guests at the Xu family's birthday banquet."
The pig head meat that was brought over was what was left over from the birthday banquet, but it did not affect Manager Sun's enjoyment of the food. After taking a bite, he seemed to have seen how popular this dish would become after it was launched.
He immediately decided to order pork head.
Lin said gently, "Different parts of the braised pig's head have different flavors. The snout is the most delicious, and the ears and tongue also have their own characteristics. The prices are also different. The essence is definitely the most expensive. But we have been working together for such a long time, so let's not make it so complicated. Let's just charge eight coins for half a pig's head. Is that okay with you?"
Manager Sun quickly calculated in his mind that half a pig's head could produce at least five or six pounds of meat. It was a little more expensive than ordinary braised meat, but the taste was incomparable. Braised meat was dry and sticky, and it was nowhere near as soft, glutinous and chewy as the meat from the pig's head.
The most worry-free thing was that Mrs. Lin had already made her name through the birthday banquet. As long as he ordered the pig's head and the news got out, people would come with money to taste it immediately.
This business is profitable no matter how you look at it.
Steward Sun suppressed his excitement and said in a negotiating tone, "If I offer one tael of silver, can Madam Lin guarantee that this pig's head meat will only be supplied to our Ruyi Restaurant?"
"I'm really sorry, I can't promise you this."
"That's fine." Manager Sun knew the possibility was slim, so he waved his hand and stopped insisting, "Then let's go with the two pigs first."
With the customer flow of Ruyi Restaurant, two pig heads can be easily sold out in a day.
"Thank you for your understanding. I'll have it delivered the next morning. Braising takes a long time, so if you have additional orders in the future, please let me know a day in advance."
"It's easy to talk about."
After the pig head meat was sold, Lin took out the remaining rice noodles. She had just observed that the female members of the family generally liked the crystal clear crystal rolls, especially the children, who were clamoring to eat them.
A piece of rice paper costs five cents, and one hundred pieces are ordered.
Following this process, Lin went to the remaining two restaurants that had side dish cooperation, and each of them ordered a pig's head and some vermicelli.
Fortunately, they had an ox cart. In the end, the three of them sat in the cart and slowly returned to the village against the setting sun.
Before reaching the Cui family's old house, I happened to run into Cuicui who was coming back with food.
"Aunt Lin, you're back."
Cuicui ran to the ox cart happily. It was not far from home anyway, so Lin held Cuicui's hand and jumped off the cart.
"Thank you for your hard work today. By the way, I have two packages of snacks here. They are still warm from the pan. Take them back and eat with your mother."
Lin estimated that she would not be back too early today, so she greeted Cuicui in advance and asked her to help deliver meals to the craftsmen.
Cuicui smiled and shook her head. Aunt Lin didn't let her work for nothing. Even if she wasn't paid, it wouldn't be a big deal to run a few errands. Compared to this, she was more worried about something else.
"Aunt Lin, was the birthday party all right today?"
Lin winked at her and said, "It couldn't be better. We've already received the order for the braised pig's heads. Four of them will be delivered to the restaurant the day after tomorrow morning. Here, we've already received the deposit."
As Cui Cui was speaking, a purse was stuffed into her hand. When she squeezed it, it unexpectedly hurt her hand.
"It's silver!"
Cuicui exclaimed softly, then immediately covered her mouth, leaving her big eyes blinking as she looked at Lin with joy.
"I've received half of the deposit, which is three taels and two qian of silver, which is also the capital for buying the pig's head."
"That won't take that much."
A pig's head costs about 200 wen, and four pig's heads together cost less than one liang...
Cuicui realized that what was left was profit!
"Aunt Lin, I..."
Seeing her incoherent appearance, Lin smiled and pinched her little face.
"Don't be too happy just yet. Only by keeping stable orders can you make money in the long run. From now on, it's up to you. You must control the quality of the braised pig's head."
"I will definitely do it well." Cui Cui clenched her fists.
