At this time, the Daxi Kingdom had already had onions through trade, and could even grow them themselves.

"Vegetarian ones can be divided into cabbage vermicelli and leek and eggs." Li Mumu said, "There are also fried pies like the one I made when Master Guan first came here."

Wang Cuizhen was so greedy just by listening to it that she drooled.

"There are also pancakes and fruits, can we also have some?" Wang Cuizhen asked.

In order to understand the market in Chong'an before, Li Mumu was not in a hurry to open a store, so he was not so busy.

Make the morning meal in a different way every morning.

They have already tasted these.

Even Master Guan's belly has grown bigger since he came to the Gu family.

"Of course." Li Mumu nodded, "As for porridge, there are ordinary white porridge, millet porridge, and pork bone porridge. Anyway, our pork bone soup is ready-made, and we have to prepare it for the pot every day. Pork bone porridge is the most popular. It’s easy, and you can also make pumpkin porridge, vegetable porridge, and preserved egg and lean meat porridge.”

"Noodles include ordinary clear soup noodles, beef noodles, and mutton noodles. In addition, rice noodles can be used instead of noodles to make beef noodles and mutton noodles." Li Mumu said while making notes on paper.

"However, we definitely can't put all of these on the menu." Li Mumu said, "Our restaurant is not big now, and we don't have many workers. We don't have that many customers. I will select some of them and put them on the menu first. It just happens. You can change the menu every once in a while to give customers something fresh to eat. Otherwise, you will always eat the same few flavors and you will get tired of eating them for a long time. You still have to have fresh food that constantly attracts customers to try."

"When our restaurant is operating stably, we can open a restaurant. When we have enough staff and many customers, we can add more menus," Li Mumu said.

After deciding on the morning meal, Li Mumu studied the lunch and dinner menus.

Although there are pots, some meals still need to be prepared.

After everything was finalized, Gu's father brought the wood, cut and polished it into pieces of wooden signs.

Li Mumu writes more now, and she also practices, so it is no longer as ugly as it was at the beginning.

Although it's not very pretty, it's at least neat.

Father Gu then engraved the words on the wooden sign according to Li Mumu's words one stroke at a time.

Father Gu has nothing to do at home now and is so busy all day long.

Finally, I have something to do and have fun doing it.

While doing this, he said to Mother Gu: "Look, we have started to have some free time now. What will we do in the future? It's really frustrating for me to be so free all the time."

"Why don't you see where we can open a vegetable garden in our yard and grow some vegetables?" Gu's mother said, "If it can really grow, we can save some money on vegetables."

"Alright." Father Gu nodded, "Then why don't you buy some more chickens and ducks to raise at home?"

"Forget it." Gu's mother shook her head and said, "None of the neighbors around us raise them. I'm afraid that if I raise them, the smell will spread to other homes, and the noise will make them unhappy."

"Shang Qing is now a person of high rank," Gu's mother said, "We also have to take care of Shang Qing's face. Although he doesn't care, we can't help but care."

"Hey, that's right." Father Gu sighed, "Then I'll plant some vegetables."

In the evening, Gu Shangqing came back with Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao.

Li Mumu and Wang Cuizhen have been busy in the kitchen in the afternoon.

Instead of mincing the beef, Li Mumu used a stick to beat it into a paste.

But her strength was limited, so it was Wang Cuizhen who called Gu Shangyong over and asked Gu Shangyong to beat the raw beef into a pulp with a stick.

Li Mumu explained on the side, "The meat paste made in this way is very strong and chewy. It has a texture that cannot be compared with chopped meat."

Li Mumu grabbed a piece of meat paste in her hand and squeezed it skillfully. A small piece of meat paste emerged from the tiger's mouth, forming the shape of a meatball.

Wang Cuizhen followed suit and learned from it.

Set aside another part and add chopped shiitake mushrooms to make shiitake mushroom beef balls.

There was also some beef, Li Mumu sliced ​​it, and wrapped it with a layer of chopped chili.

Some beef was cut into long thin strips, marinated with the prepared ingredients, and placed on the plate like noodles.

Li Mumu also bought grass carp, removed the fish bones and ground it into a puree, then added fat pork puree, egg white and green onion and ginger water. In addition to salt and sugar, she also added a little wine to remove the fishy smell, and steamed it into fish cakes.

"Although we leave most of the work to the cooks, in order to prevent others from getting our recipes, I think we can make some semi-finished products at home and then send them to restaurants." Li Mumu said, "Like what I am doing now Fish cakes, fish cakes must be delicious, sweet and not fishy, ​​seasoning is very important.”

"I plan to prepare all these sauces and send them to the restaurant for the chef to use directly, but I don't know what is added to them. After all, the essence is in these sauces." Li Mumu said, "Including other dishes , if I can prepare a sauce for the cook to use directly, I will prepare it first."

"That's good." Zhang Caiping nodded, "Although we have signed a contract with them, we have to be careful."

"This way I have something to do at home." Wang Cuizhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally I don't have to be idle anymore."

Li Mumu laughed.

"When the weather gets warmer, we will update a batch of menus." Li Mumu said, "If we do well, I estimate that we will be able to open the restaurant within a year."

"So fast!" Zhang Caiping said in surprise.

"This is my own estimate." Li Mumu said, "It still depends on the specific situation."

"By the way, the wine I made before is also good." Li Mumu said.

Previously in Anping Town, because the people's living conditions were not very wealthy, Li Mumu did not sell alcohol in the store.

But it’s different now in Chong’an.

Liquor is the bulk of the restaurant's income, so Li Mumu will not let it go.

She was not very busy at home before, so she made hawthorn wine and plum wine.

I guess I'll be able to drink it today.

"Let's try it tonight?" Zhang Caiping heard Li Mumu talk about making fruit wine. The wine tastes sweet and women can drink some, so she has been looking forward to it.

"Okay." Li Mumu nodded, "If it tastes good, I want to sell it in the store. Although most men go to the store to eat, I can also take it back for my wife and daughter to taste."

That's how things are settled.

When it was almost time for dinner, Gu Shangqing came back with Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao.

Zhu Yaoming and Huang Keyiao are two bachelors. If they meet Xiu Mu now, they will follow Gu Shangqing back to have a meal.

If they weren't really embarrassed, the two of them would even want to stay in a fixed room at Gu's house.

Li Mumu prepared the mandarin duck pot, with a bone soup pot on one side and a spicy pot on the other.

As for wine, in addition to hawthorn wine and plum wine, she also made wolfberry wine.

Chong'an happens to be rich in wolfberry, and the price of wolfberry sold here is not high.
