Chapter 871 Successful Opening

The dinner was carefully prepared by Li Chunlan, so it was naturally different from the light meal at noon.

As soon as she heard that there were oriental delicacies, the landlady readily accepted the invitation, and this time she also came to the door with a gift.

The landlady sent a lot of roses and a bottle of red wine. The flowers were grown in the garden behind the apartment, and the red wine was made by the landlady's own farm.

Li Chunlan likes flowers very much. Flowers are still a luxury in China. The capital is located in the north, so there are basically no flowers for sale.

Shi Jingning put all the flowers in a small plastic bucket with water, and planned to buy a glass vase for Li Chunlan tomorrow.

At this time, the landlady was circling the dining table. On the table were chrysanthemum fish, pork ribs stewed with lotus root, steamed pork with rice flour, and steamed cabbage hearts with garlic vermicelli.

"Oh, dear, you are an angel, didn't you go out this afternoon? How do you have time to make so many delicious foods?"

The landlady couldn't tell the name of these dishes at all, and the oriental food couldn't tell what the material was after processing. She just felt dizzy and wanted to sit down and eat a big meal immediately.

Li Chunlan said with a smile, "Mrs. Danny, these are simple meals, and they can be prepared in a short time!"

At the suggestion of the landlady, Shi Jingning opened the red wine she brought, poured a little for each of them in a glass, and then invited the landlady to sit down.

Shi Jingning and Li Chunlan were not in a hurry to talk about things, they first treated the landlady to a delicious meal.

The landlady eats very seriously. Her husband has passed away for many years and her children are not around. Food has become her only hobby.

The landlady gave a compliment every time she tasted it. Considering that people here have big appetites, Li Chunlan cooks a lot of food. In addition to these four delicacies, she also steamed some meat rolls as the main food.

This time, Li Chunlan made a lot of meat rolls. In addition to eating tonight, Li Chunlan also planned to put a bowl for the landlady, and let her take it home and eat slowly.

"Oh, this is your oriental bread, it's really delicious," said the landlady, eating three big meat rolls gracefully.

After drinking and eating, Li Chunlan asked modestly about the procedures needed to open a family restaurant.

The landlady told her seriously.

This kind of family restaurant is actually very simple, that is, Li Chunlan prepares meals, and then invites guests who are willing to taste the food to come over for dinner.

Before eating, Li Chunlan can send the recipe and cost to everyone.

However, what needs to be noted in running this kind of family restaurant is that Li Chunlan also has to go to the corresponding unit in Hopkins to declare health procedures and prepare to pay taxes.

According to the landlady, not paying taxes is a serious crime in their country.

Li Chunlan nodded in her heart, "Mrs. Danny, according to what you said, I want to try to open for two days this week, do you think it's okay?"

The landlady nodded happily, "Don't worry, as long as you calculate the cost, tell me the materials and effort, I will help you set the price! This kind of family restaurant will not lose money, I think it is much more profitable than you going out to work !"

Li Chunlan is not very confident. Her cooking skills are common in China. She has never received professional chef training. Some special dishes were learned from relatives and friends after she went to the capital.

After seeing off the landlady, the husband and wife finally let out a long sigh of relief. After a long journey and a whole day of busy work, they were also tired.

After lying down on the bed, they realized that the night in Hopkins was really noisy. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was still a lot of traffic outside the window.

However, both of them closed their eyes and fell asleep without bothering to comment on this messy environment.

After a good night's sleep, the husband and wife were in high spirits the next day.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and the husband and wife plan to order the recipes of the family restaurant today, purchase the ingredients, and then inquire about the price of the English improvement class.

Li Chunlan was worried that she could speak rustic English, and it would be difficult for her to communicate with her classmates and teachers after school started.

Just at the gate of Johns Hopkins University, there are many English improvement classes.

Li Chunlan and Shi Jingning asked around, and found that the advanced class was charged by the hour.

The fee is ten dollars for one hour. If you want to listen to the lectures and then practice oral English, you need at least two hours, which is twenty dollars, which is 120 yuan in domestic currency.

This surprised Li Chunlan and his wife. You know, ordinary workers in China only earn 120 yuan a month. Who would have thought that this money would only be enough to take two language classes abroad?

Feeling the price, the husband and wife signed up for ten language classes. Starting from next Monday, they will take one class every day.

So far, the couple have spent thousands of dollars. Although their family has a big business, they are also scared by the high prices of Hopkins.

The couple planned the menu together.

This is the first time their private restaurant has opened. Li Chunlan plans to cook ten dishes, four cold and six hot. Considering that these foreigners have the habit of eating desserts and soups, she also specially added a snack and a soup.

The two went to the hypermarket, purchased the necessary seasonings and raw materials, and then went home to start preparations.

The cost and price of the first meal should be considered. The ingredients Li Chunlan buys are all common ingredients. She feels that the selling point of her products lies in different tastes.

So low-cost tomato scrambled eggs are on the menu again. In addition, delicious food such as steamed pork ribs and chrysanthemum fish are also on the menu.

Since it was the first time a family restaurant opened, the landlady took over the task of attracting customers and publishing prices.

Before the guests arrived, the landlady told Li Chunlan about the situation of the guests this time. She invited a total of ten guests, and each guest charged twelve dollars for the meal.

In this way, it is 120 US dollars. After removing the raw materials and taxes, Li Chunlan and his wife still have [-] US dollars left.

In Hopkins at the time, a lunch with a salad and a hamburger was $[-] to $[-].

Li Chunlan's meal consisted of ten dishes, which could be regarded as a banquet, and they only charged twelve dollars, which seemed quite economical.

The landlady had a lot of candidates waiting to eat oriental cuisine. After she announced the news, five tenants under her name signed up.

The other five are residents in the vicinity and are very interested in tasting oriental food.

Li Chunlan and Shi Jingning's family restaurant just opened.

When the appointed time came, the guests came to the door with smiles on their faces one after another. Although they paid for the meal, the guests were still very polite, and they all took a little candy or a flower as a gift, which made Li Chunlan very happy. Touched, I decided to pack a snack or two for everyone after the meal as a gift for them to take away.
