Chapter 106 is officially released.
The restaurant is very busy right now, and it's inconvenient for delivery and order takers to contact Lu Yuan.
Those who are familiar with the area can even call their eighth grandfather.
Those unfamiliar with the area have no choice but to make the trip themselves. This has drawn considerable complaints from diners.
So it's time to install this phone.
Fortunately, this is right next to a national highway, so there are still power lines that can be brought over.
If it's a remote, isolated village, there might not be any telephone lines to install.
Recently, all these miscellaneous tasks have been handed over to Lu Hua, which has saved Lu Yuan a lot of trouble.
After the two brothers sat under the eaves drinking cola for a while, Lu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Brother Hua, have you inquired about the loan for me these past couple of days?"
Building greenhouses is the most urgent task, but we are currently short of funds. To speed up the process, bank loans are an option.
Lu Hua shook his head and said, "It's not easy. As soon as they heard that I wanted to borrow 20, they just stopped talking to me."
Lu Yuan had anticipated this outcome.
These days, it's not easy for a small rural restaurant to get a loan.
Even if you mortgage the restaurant, people may not recognize its value.
The key point is that 20 yuan is not a small amount these days. To borrow such a large sum of money, you need to get approval from both the county's credit union and the People's Bank of China in the county.
This is too difficult. Once the process is completed, there's no need to grow anything in the greenhouses this year.
Lu Yuan was just letting Lu Hua try his luck; he didn't have high hopes for the outcome.
After finishing their cola, Lu Yuan and his wife stood up, dusted themselves off, and decided to stop thinking about it.
At worst, we can pay whatever amount we have first, and then discuss with the greenhouse construction workers whether we can pay the remaining balance in installments.
. .
The next morning, Zhao Tong brought in a batch of new shop menus and signs.
The previous menu was handwritten on a small blackboard, which was very inconvenient.
Why not take advantage of the timing of launching new dishes and change to a bigger and more eye-catching menu?
This time, the menu used a printed font covered with a layer of glass and hung directly on the wall.
A menu was displayed in both the No. 1 and No. 2 foyer areas for customers to order.
Stir-fried lamb 25 yuan/jin
Stir-fried meat (beef/lamb) 18 yuan/jin
Clear Broth Stewed Meat (Beef/Lamb) 18 yuan/jin
Stewed free-range chicken 18 yuan/jin
Hand-pulled mutton 20 yuan/jin
Tendon and tendon combo: 18 yuan/jin
Lamb neck 18 yuan/jin
Braised duck products 15 yuan/jin
Mouthwatering chicken 18 yuan
Deep-fried ribbonfish 20 yuan
Deep-fried sandwich/meatballs 15 yuan
After hanging the menu on the wall, Zhao Tong was astonished: "Lu Yuan, your prices are so high, how come so many people eat here?"
"You don't understand," Lu Yuan said, standing next to Zhao Tong and staring at the menu with him. "Even the most expensive things will have buyers; the question is whether they're worth it."
Zhao Tong nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand now a bit too. The feed mill in Xiaguan Town has a year-long contract with Optimus Prime!"
"That's normal. Xiaguan Town is a major cattle-raising town, and feed mills would love to put their names on their toilets," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
Zhao Tong suddenly realized something and said, "So, the reason your food is so expensive is because vehicles on the national highway can only find a place to eat here?"
Lu Yuan shook his head in denial, saying, "Of course it's because it tastes good! What else would we eat if it didn't taste good? Will we die if we skip a meal?"
Zhao Tong: "..."
Today, Xiao Lu's Farmhouse Restaurant has returned to its peak popularity. By 11 o'clock, the front hall was almost full.
After enjoying the incredibly delicious braised duck dishes yesterday, diners are all eager to come back for more today.
Especially those diners who didn't take a separate portion home yesterday are now determined to take one home today to prove their innocence.
Because when they went back yesterday and described the addictive taste to their relatives and friends, they were met with the comment: "What's so delicious about duck intestines?"
This is blatant skepticism, so when we arrived at Xiao Lu's Farmhouse Restaurant today, the first thing several groups of guests said was:
Give me one pound of braised duck to eat here first, and another two pounds to take away!
Lu Yuan really didn't expect that today's new dishes would be overshadowed by the braised duck.
However, a meal can't consist of just braised duck dishes, so at Zhenzhen and Pingping's suggestion, the diners ordered some new dishes.
In particular, beef and chicken dishes are what everyone most wants to try.
After all, we've only been eating mutton since it opened more than a month ago. Although it's delicious, it's inevitable that we're getting a bit tired of the taste.
Besides the new menu, everyone clearly noticed that the food was served much faster.
In particular, some diners had just ordered a combination of tendon and shank and stewed free-range chicken, and before they had even finished paying and settled in, the combination of tendon and shank was already served.
This dish is very eye-catching at first glance when it is served. The slices of meat are cut evenly, the tendon is translucent, and the tendon meat is firm and reddish. The colors are very well matched.
Lu Yuan did not choose to pour the sauce over the food, but instead prepared a small bowl of compound garlic and vinegar sauce.
This way, the dish will look much better when served.
Moreover, both spicy and non-spicy diners can share this dish. Those who don't eat spicy food can simply dip it in the sauce, while those who do can share some and add some chili oil from the table.
Most importantly, this method can also speed up the food preparation process.
When it's mealtime, you can prepare several portions of meat and sauce in advance.
Anyway, this dish is served cold, so there's no fear of it spoiling.
Moreover, judging from the situation at Xiao Lu's farmhouse restaurant, everything prepared in advance will be ready in no more than ten minutes.
The tendon and shank combo is essentially braised beef, which is something most families make at home.
Therefore, if a restaurant wants its braised beef to be popular, it must produce high-quality food.
First, there's the choice of meat: beef shank and beef fore shank. Many families want to buy this cut separately, but butcher shops don't sell it.
Then there's the taste. Lu Yuanlu's beef has only a light five-spice flavor, without too much seasoning, in order to bring out the natural freshness and aroma of the beef.
In terms of texture, the beef should be tender, firm, and not tough; it should be easy to chew and have a slight chewiness.
After taking that one bite, the diners all gave it a thumbs up. This small dish of braised beef perfectly showcased Lu Yuan's skill.
Braised beef is one of the most common ways to cook beef at home, but compared to Lu Yuan's braised beef, it seems a bit too ordinary.
The slightly sour and salty flavor of the garlic and vinegar sauce also complements the original taste of the beef.
These slices of beef are so delicious, I can't get enough of them! The more I chew, the more fragrant they become, and the more fragrant they are, the more I want to eat!
Fortunately, the food was served much faster than before, and the stewed free-range chicken was served quickly.
The first diner to order this dish felt a sense of pride amidst the envious glances.
Stewed free-range chicken presents a different picture altogether. The soup is clear and not cloudy, and it is garnished with bright green cilantro and bright red goji berries, making it look very refreshing.
The rising steam carries the savory aroma of chicken and the delicate fragrance of goji berries, creating a subtle and lingering aroma.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The first customer to taste the stewed chicken said rather cheekily, "I'll have some first as a sign of respect!"
Some customers who had also ordered the dish couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "Just eat yours! Can't you shut up with the chicken?"
