Finally, the first day of the opening of the private rooms arrived. Yuan Tiantian really got up very early today. She woke up a little before 4 o'clock. Maybe because she had something on her mind, she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at Xiao Jiu and Ling sleeping soundly, she got out of bed carefully.
Just as she walked out of the room and closed the door, a cold male voice came from behind, which gave her a big scare. It was Sheng Jing.
"Going to the town now?"
Sheng Jing asked like this. Yuan Tiantian gave him a slight pout. She was really scared just now!
"Why aren't you resting?"
Yuan Tiantian didn't reply to Sheng Jing's question immediately. Instead, she was a bit curious why he wasn't resting anymore and was standing outside. She could even hear Bai Ying's snoring, which showed that he was sleeping soundly!
At this moment, I just realized that Sheng Jing actually wakes up around 4 o'clock every day and meditates in the room.
It's just that we who were sleeping soundly didn't know. He just heard some movement in Yuan Tiantian's room, so he came out to check.
"I'm going to the town to see if there are any suitable dishes."
Mainly meat or seafood. Yuan Tiantian was afraid that the ingredients today would not be enough. Since it was the opening of the private rooms, there were two more dishes on the menu in both places today than usual. Additionally, there was an extra big dish in the private rooms. So the ingredients might be in short supply. She wanted to go and look for some.
"Let's go together."
Sheng Jing didn't say much. He just expressed his intention to go to the town together. Without waiting for Yuan Tiantian to say anything, he turned around and walked downstairs. She quickly followed him.
When they arrived in the town, it was almost 4:30. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people in the vegetable market at this time. However, most of them were the vendors who came out to set up stalls.
Since they came early, there were a lot of fresh ingredients. Yuan Tiantian was delighted.
After this selection, she had a great harvest. At this moment, she was glad that Sheng Jing had come. Otherwise, she couldn't have carried all these things by herself.
There were fresh beef and mutton, as well as beef ribs and lamb shanks. The latter two were also very good, with quite a bit of meat on them. They were really delicious to chew on. Besides, she also bought a lot of pork, mainly ribs, streaky pork and tenderloin. These were relatively easy to make into finished dishes or side dishes.
When they were about to leave at last, a fisherman from the seaside happened to come with a truckload of good catches.
"These were all just caught this morning. They're very fresh!"
Hearing what the man said, Yuan Tiantian went over to take a look. These seafood were really fresh. An idea immediately came to her mind.
"Uncle, if I buy a lot, can you deliver them to our place for us?"
These seafood were quite fresh. Yuan Tiantian was afraid that if they bought too much and took them back by themselves, some of them would die. So she asked the man if he could deliver them if she bought a large quantity. After all, he was a professional.
When the seafood - selling uncle heard what Yuan Tiantian said, he was a bit reluctant at first. However, when he heard that Yuan Tiantian said she was running a restaurant and was going to buy one - third of the total amount he brought today, he immediately smiled.
"Sure. How about I just drive there with you? It's still early anyway."
Hearing this, Yuan Tiantian immediately nodded. This couldn't be better. Just like this, Yuan Tiantian and Sheng Jing rode their small electric bikes in front, and the seafood - selling uncle followed behind in a small truck. When they arrived at Tiantian Restaurant, Bai Ying had already opened the door, and the vegetable - receiving team had also arrived. Everyone saw the small truck following Yuan Tiantian and the others and all cast puzzled looks.
"What's this?"
Since Lu Yong had a "date" with Liu Ming today, he didn't leave City H. He came with the vegetable - receiving team in the morning to take a look. When he saw that there was a seafood seller following Yuan Tiantian, he was also surprised. Did the young boss buy out all the goods?
Finally, they found out that she didn't buy out all of them. But in the end, Yuan Tiantian, who originally said she would buy one - third of the total amount, actually bought more than half of it, which made the seafood seller extremely happy.
"Okay, that's all."
After everything was settled, Yuan Tiantian told Sheng Jing and Bai Ying to keep more of the vegetables. Then she didn't care about these things anymore and quickly went to deal with the seafood she bought today.
These fresh catches should be processed while they were still alive so that they would be more delicious when eaten later.
After the seafood - selling uncle left, Yuan Tiantian asked for his contact information.
Yuan Tiantian thought that if the seafood tasted very good today, she could contact him when needed to order fresh seafood and have it delivered to the restaurant. It would be very convenient.
Just like this, she was busy. In the middle, Yuan Tiantian simply cooked some white congee and ate it with the bought buns and fried dough sticks. She told everyone to make do with this for today. She was very busy this morning and didn't have time to make a "sumptuous" breakfast. However, time passed quickly. When Yuan Tiantian looked up at the wall clock, it was already 9:30 a.m.
There was still a little bit of seafood left to be processed. Yuan Tiantian speeded up and finally finished everything in ten minutes.
Then she quickly came to the cashier's desk and wrote down today's menus respectively, making two copies.
Tiantian Restaurant: White rice, fried rice with soy sauce, seafood fried rice, stir - fried Chinese toon with eggs, spicy shredded vegetables, oyster - sauce lettuce, tin - foil lamb shanks, braised beef, corn and rib soup, lemonade.
Private Rooms of Tiantian Restaurant: White rice, fried rice with soy sauce, seafood fried rice, stir - fried Chinese toon with eggs, spicy shredded vegetables, oyster - sauce lettuce, tin - foil lamb shanks, braised beef, seafood platter, corn and rib soup, lemonade.
The private rooms had one more dish, the seafood platter, than the normal restaurant. The other dishes were the same. Some of these dishes were selected through a Weibo vote yesterday, and some were decided by her temporarily today. Anyway, all aspects were taken into consideration. Yuan Tiantian looked at the menus again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she printed them out. Then she called Jiang Shen. He had come here at 8:30 and had been waiting for Yuan Tiantian's instructions.
"Put one copy of these menus in each private room. Also, go over there and see if there's any place that needs to be cleaned."
Yuan Tiantian instructed Jiang Shen and called Sheng Jing.
Then she pulled him aside and told him how to turn on and off the floor lamps in the private rooms.
"Could you help me turn them all on? And turn them off again when it's time to close at night."
Yuan Tiantian was not at ease entrusting this special way of turning on and off the lights to a person from the current world like Jiang Shen for the time being. She was afraid that it might cause unnecessary trouble. So she could only trouble Sheng Jing. After hearing this, the latter nodded slightly.
"Do you need me to help in the private rooms today?"
Just as Sheng Jing was about to leave, he suddenly thought of this question. Yuan Tiantian was stunned for a moment and then patted her head.
"Look at my memory now. Right, you'll go and help in the private rooms today. It's the first day. There will definitely be a lot of people. Jiang Shen alone can't handle it."
As for the normal restaurant, Bai Ying alone would be enough.
When Jiang Shen came to the private - room area and opened the door, he was completely stunned.
"The young boss really spent a fortune on the decoration!"
This antique - flavored style was really too beautiful!
