Chapter 164 Milk Tea Shop Opening
Chapter 164 Milk Tea Shop Opening
Zhao Qiqi smiled and asked them to quickly make fried chicken: "We will have these for lunch today. Whether you can finish them or not depends on your cooking skills."
The two were a little worried, so they had to follow Zhao Qiqi's instructions carefully. They coated the marinated chicken with bread crumbs, put it into a bubbling oil pan, and fry it until golden brown. Then they could take it out and drain the oil.
When they smelled the fragrance lingering in the kitchen for a long time, their worries instantly faded away. This must be delicious!
"Let's go and serve it on the table."
The restaurant in the front yard was too far away, so Zhao Qiqi simply took them to the pavilion in the garden.
"Call everyone over here."
Zhao Qiqi went to find Gu Xiaohua and Old Lady Gu, Bihe went to find the brother and sister, and Lianye went to find Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.
Soon everyone arrived.
"Try them all."
Zhao Qiqi used a knife to cut the fried chicken into small pieces. Seeing that no one dared to take it, Zhao Qiqi put a chicken wing or chicken leg into each of their bowls.
"Just eat when I tell you to. There are no rules. Just treat it like you're at home, okay?"
"Ayao, is it delicious?"
A Yao nodded in satisfaction. The oil got on her lips, and Zhao Qiqi wiped it off for her: "It tastes good, eat more."
Everyone started eating gradually. Except for Gu Xiaohua and Old Lady Gu who had already eaten, everyone else was amazed.
Paired with hot milk tea, it's really fun.
"Mom! I finally found you."
Zhao Qiqi looked up and saw that it was Gu Yansui who came with Gu Yantang.
Gu Yantang was so surprised along the way that he could hardly close his jaw. But when he saw Zhao Qiqi, his silly son's face was full of joy.
"Mom, my eldest brother came back yesterday, and we worked overnight on the things you wanted, and we have finished half of them."
"well done."
Zhao Qiqi’s praise made Gu Yantang even happier, and he pulled Gu Yansui to unload the things.
There are some solid wooden stools, containers for making milk tea and whisks for whipping tea, as well as some disposable cups, all made of bamboo.
Zhao Qiqi, a customer dining in the restaurant, still plans to buy ceramic cups from the system. There are various beautiful styles, which are not expensive but very ornamental.
Gu Yansui and Gu Yantang went to move all the things to the backyard. The shop was being renovated. It wasn't a complicated job and could be completed in a few days.
In these few days, we need to arrange everything.
After lunch, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju continued to clean up the house. There were too many rooms, so they had to leave some of them out as backup in case someone came over and had no room to stay.
"Yan Sui, when you come here again tomorrow, bring your wife with you."
"Mom, wouldn't it be better for Lan'er to stay in the village? She is unfamiliar with the place and has no one to take care of her."
"Yan Sui, giving birth to a woman is like stepping into the gates of hell. You should prepare as early as possible. The midwives and doctors in the county are much better than those in the village. Besides..."
Zhao Qiqi thought about it and decided to ask a woman who understood childbirth to take care of Hu Lan. After all, she was not the original Zhao Qiqi, so she could not empathize with her and did not understand what the process of childbirth was like. It would be much more reassuring to have someone to take care of her.
"After you bring your wife here tomorrow, go and ask a woman who knows about pregnancy and childbirth to come over...just ask a midwife to take care of her."
Gu Yansui had never thought about these things at first, but after Zhao Qiqi said that, he felt that it made a lot of sense. When his mother gave birth to the fourth and fifth children, she had heavy bleeding and almost died. He was young at the time and cried so much that he almost fainted, but he had no money to hire someone to see a doctor, so he just managed to get through it.
"My son knows."
Because the milk tea shop was opening, Gu Yansui, Gu Yantang, Gu Yanyan, Gu Yao, Gu Shun and Bai all came to help. Xiang, Ye Shuixian and others could not come because they had work to do in the soap factory. Of course, Zhao Qiqi did not let Xiang come because she was afraid that she would accidentally cause trouble again.
"Just stay in the back and if you feel bored, go for a walk in the garden." Zhao Qiqi asked Hu Lan not to go to the front yard today. There were many people here and it would be bad if something happened.
Milk tea is made in front of everyone, while various fried foods need to be made in the kitchen of the house after ordering. Zhao Qiqi plans to set up a separate room next to the kitchen specifically for frying things.
Lian Ye and Gu Xiaohua were responsible for making milk tea at the front desk, Bihe was frying things in the kitchen, Zhao Qiqi came to take orders and keep accounts, and Gu Yansui was responsible for passing the fried food orders to the kitchen and then serving the fried food to the table.
Gu Yantang is responsible for the publicity and reception at the door, while Gu Yanyan is selling milk tea separately on the far left side of the store. This is prepared early in the morning and can be sold directly.
A Yao and A Chen were outside in charge of giving people food tastings.
Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju also came to the shop temporarily to help and were responsible for cleaning.
Gu Shun, Gu Yao and Bai were just waiting to fill in wherever help was needed.
The flyers were sent out early in the morning. This kind of promotional method had never been seen before and was quite new to the people in the county.
In fact, it can be considered a menu, filled with dishes and prices, as well as pictures of milk tea, fried chicken, etc.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. The milk tea shop is open today and you can taste it for free. The rare drinks and unique snacks are something you have never tried before!"
"It's free to taste. If it's good, you can pay for it. If it's not good, you can pay for it. It's fresh chicken, fried in the best oil. One bite will leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth, and two bites will be unforgettable!"
Gu Yantang was shouting outside diligently according to the promotional slogan written for him by his mother. There was a large table at the door of the store, on which was a large bucket of milk tea and sliced fried chicken, which were specially provided for diners who came in to taste.
When the first diner walked in, Lian Ye and Gu Xiaohua were so excited that they were about to cry. They watched from afar as he tried the food, fearing that he would find it not tasty.
"Grandpa, do you think it tastes good? If so, you can take it back for your grandchildren to try. Our milk tea and fried food can be taken away, which is very convenient." A Yao poured the milk tea into a small wooden cup, put the chicken on the toothpick that Gu Yansui brought from Gujia Village and handed it to the old man.
The old man finished his food, drank a sip of milk tea, and praised: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's very good, very good."
At this moment, more than a dozen people were looking at him. Even Zhao Qiqi, who was not nervous at first, became a little nervous because of them, and stared at the old man's reaction intently.
