The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 249 Preparation 2
Near noon the next day, Han Qianluo returned home after finishing his work. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Han Dong chopping firewood in the yard. Seeing that he seemed to be very calm, he said to him, "Hand in your hand." Stop the work inside." Then he called out the other two young servants in the room.

"Ma'am, do you have any orders?" Zhang Fan asked carefully.

"It's like this. I opened a restaurant, and now I want one of you to learn how to cook, and then go to the restaurant to be a cook. I respect your opinions. Which of you is willing to go?" Han Qianluo asked loudly .

Originally, she wanted the newcomer Han Dong to go, but just now, she suddenly realized a problem. If Han Dong was directly asked to study, the original two servants in the family might feel a little uncomfortable. That's why she decided to ask everyone's opinions on the spur of the moment.

Except for Han Dong, the other two servants glanced at each other, but they didn't speak. They were obviously unwilling to go, which made Han Qianluo frowned. She didn't expect that no one was willing to learn, which was a bit out of her unexpected.

"Ma'am, I'm willing to go." Han Dong said suddenly.

"Okay, you can learn how to cook with me after lunch." Han Qianluo said with a smile, glad that finally someone is willing to learn how to cook.

After lunch, Han Qianluo took Han Dong to the kitchen to learn how to cook, because she didn't have time to prepare in advance, and she hadn't seen anyone else teach cooking before, so she had to follow her own ideas teach.

Last night, Han Qianluo wrote down the names of all the dishes she remembered, and organized them into stir-fried dishes, boiled dishes, soups, cold dishes, desserts, and snacks. She planned to teach cooking first.

"I'll teach you how to make fish-flavored pork shreds first, and you cut that piece of meat into shreds first." Han Qianluo pointed to a small piece of pork in the cupboard and said.

Han Dong took out the pork, washed it, put it on the cutting board and started cutting it.Han Qianluo stood by and watched Han Dong's movements closely, and found that the shredded meat that Han Dong cut out was very even and thin, which surprised her a little: "I didn't expect you to cut the shredded meat so finely." Well, have you ever been a cook before?"

"No, it's just that I used to practice often, so I'm more familiar with it." Han Dong lowered his head and said in a low voice, looking a little timid, giving people a feeling of low self-esteem and lack of confidence.

Han Qianluo couldn't understand a man acting so unconfident, so he said a little seriously: "Speak louder, what does it look like to be so timid?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Han Dong quickly apologized. Although his voice was a little louder, his worried expression clearly showed that he didn't understand what Han Qianluo said just now. Of course, he might not understand why. This is self-confidence.

Han Qianluo looked at him like this, sighed softly, and didn't want to get entangled in this issue, anyway, he would have plenty of time in the future, so he continued to guide him in cooking, and chatted with him occasionally.

By the end of the evening, Han Dong had already learned how to cook many dishes, and the dishes for the evening were naturally those fried in the afternoon. After heating up, they were served on the table, ready to eat.

At this time, Han Sanwei ran in from the outside and shouted loudly: "Sister San, Sister San."

"Sanwei, what's the matter?" Han Qianluo came out of the kitchen and asked in confusion.

"Third sister, big brother won't come back tonight, can I have dinner here?" Han Sanwei asked pitifully.

"Okay, but what about the long-term workers at home?" Han Qianluo asked.

"They can cook and eat by themselves." Han Sanwei said that he had already ran into the dining room and was sitting there waiting for the meal.

Soon the servants at home also came to sit down, but they were not at the same table as Han Qianluo, but at another table.Only then did Liu Linchu say, "Let's eat."

As soon as the words fell, Han Sanwei couldn't wait to pick up a chopsticks of meat and put it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he said with some doubts: "Sister San, didn't you cook the dishes tonight?"

"How do you know I didn't do it?" Han Qianluo was a little curious, how did he tell the difference.

Han Sanwei picked up another chopstick dish and put it into his mouth, and only after swallowing did he reply, "It tastes different from the dishes Sanjie used to make."

"Sure enough, it's a snack, and you can even tell the difference, so do you think the food tonight is delicious?" Han Qianluo took the opportunity to ask, although she felt that the taste was a bit bad, but it was only the first It's not bad to be able to make such a taste after one cooking, but she still needs to listen to other people's opinions.

Han Sanwei was stretching out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and replied without thinking, "Although your cooking is not as delicious as Sanjie, it is much more delicious than others." After finishing speaking, he was busy eating again, no longer say.

After dinner, Han Qianluo moved out a chair and sat in the yard to rest. After a while, Han Dong came out, stood beside her and said, "Ma'am, can you write down the cooking method? Worrying about not remembering."

Han Qianluo thought about it, and felt that Han Dong's worry was not unreasonable. There are still many kinds of dishes in the future. Although it is not difficult to learn, it is not easy to memorize them all and make no mistakes. Write it down It wasn't very good either, so she nodded and said, "No problem, I'll write it out for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, madam." Han Dong said.

"Do you know how to read?" Han Qianluo suddenly realized this question and asked in surprise. In this era, most people are illiterate.

Han Dong suddenly lowered his head again, and said sadly: "I have studied for a few years before, and there is no problem with reading and writing, but other things will not work."

Seeing his unbelievable appearance, Han Qianluo knew without thinking that there was a sad past, such as family troubles or something, so he stopped digging into the bottom line, but comforted him and said: "This is already very good, Many people don’t even know the words, it’s getting late, go to sleep.”

The next few days were also like this. I got up every day and taught Han Dong how to cook. This kind of day lasted for about ten days before it finally ended. After that, I asked him to contact him, because at this time the small room of the shop had been built and the decoration was also done. Well done, then she will be ready to open.

Soon, Han Qianluo's restaurant was ready to open, but she was not in a hurry, and decided to do some publicity before opening. As for how to publicize, she already had a general idea in her mind, but the specifics She felt that she still needed to discuss it with her elder brother and the others.

Therefore, in the afternoon, while everyone was at home, Han Qianluo went to the next yard and called his eldest brother over, and they sat together to discuss the opening of the business.

"Brother, the restaurant is ready to open, which day do you think will be better?" Han Qianluo asked.

Han Qingquan rubbed his forehead and thought for a while and said, "The winter solstice will be in four days, so I think we should open on that day."

"On the day of the winter solstice, the time may be a bit rushed." Han Qianluo said, "I also plan to make a batch of discounted cards and distribute them, so it will be too late."

Not only Han Qingquan, but even Liu Linchu asked curiously: "Xiao Luo, why haven't I heard you mention the discount card? If I had said it earlier, I could have prepared it earlier."

"Isn't it that I haven't decided which day to open before, so I thought that it would be too late to prepare until the day when the opening was decided. I didn't expect it to be so urgent now." Han Qianluo quickly explained.

"Xiao Luo, please explain your thoughts carefully, and then we will decide what to do." Han Qingquan said.

Han Qianluo sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "I plan to make a batch of cards and distribute them. Numbers are written on the cards. If you come to the store for dinner on the opening day, you can use this card as money."

"Since this is the case, why not directly offer a discount, why do you need to make a discount card, and it is so troublesome?" Liu Linchu said incomprehensibly.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the other two, Han Qianluo smiled and explained: "This is different. For ordinary people, if they have a card that can be used as money in their hands, they will definitely use it if they don't use it." It’s a pity, so most of the people who get the card will go to eat something.”

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and the other two were thinking about what Han Qianluo said just now. After a while, Liu Linchu said, "Then what should I do with this discount card?"

Han Qianluo had already thought about this question a long time ago, so he immediately replied: "This kind of card should be made of the best and hardest paper. The size is about the size of a hand. Draw dots on it. In flowers and plants, write an amount, write the name of our shop, stamp our shop seal, and finally write the address of the restaurant on the back."

"It's not difficult, but if you have to do a lot, it will take a lot of time. How much do you plan to do, Xiao Luo?" Liu Linchu asked.

"Of course, the more the better." Han Qianluo replied without thinking.

After listening to Liu Linchu, he said little by little: "Then I will go out to find someone now. If I find someone earlier, I can start working earlier. You and your elder brother can discuss it slowly." After finishing speaking, he went out.

Only then did Han Qingquan ask, "Xiao Luo, where and to whom are you going to distribute these cards?"

"It's in the market, if you see someone passing by, send one." Han Qianluo said with some doubts, not understanding why the eldest brother would ask such a question.

After hearing this, Han Qingquan sighed and said, "Xiao Luo, you can't do this. Is this restaurant you opened mainly for rich people or ordinary people?"

"Of course he is a rich man." Han Qianluo replied, probably understanding what the elder brother meant, she thought, it seems that she is really not good at doing business.
