w.a.n.g Ming thanked the G.o.ds that Lang Lin instantly defused the situation, but what w.a.n.g Ming didn't know was that Fu Chunhua and Lang Lin went home both in a bad temper, though they didn't want to show it in front of w.a.n.g Ming.

w.a.n.g Ming thanked the G.o.ds that Lang Lin instantly defused the situation, but what w.a.n.g Ming didn't know was that Fu Chunhua and Lang Lin went home both in a bad temper, though they didn't want to show it in front of w.a.n.g Ming.

After Fu Chunhua, Ming Ming and Lang Lin went home. It was finally time for w.a.n.g Ming to open the restaurant for customers. w.a.n.g Ming wanted to serve customers as he also had Peng Tong and them there, but didn't think it was too appropriate since Uncle Hou and Fu were there.

Opening the restaurant door and keeping it open, so that the aroma from the food could make it way out to the street. w.a.n.g Ming went inside the get pamphlets he had made to give out to people pa.s.sing by. w.a.n.g Ming remembers that there were people watching the opening ceremony, but since he used over an hour before opening the restaurant, they most likely went on with their business.

Walking back to the door, the sight by the restaurant door shocked w.a.n.g Ming. It had roughly been 5 minutes since he opened the door and to him finding the pamphlets. In that time frame, there had come over 50 customers to the restaurant. Some of them were in groups, such as families and friends some alone, all 16 tables became occupied and a queue had even started to form outside. They had most likely come because of the smell, looking at the people in the queue some were salivating while they were smelling.

Seeing Louzheng franticly running around taking orders, w.a.n.g Ming put down the pamphlets to help him. His initial plan was for Louzheng to take orders and w.a.n.g Ming to cook, but since all his food was precooked already. w.a.n.g Ming didn't need to do much cooking else from cooking the rice, and then he would only need to plate the food.

There were three pieces of meat in a clay pot, he had given out seven clay pots already, which meant he had 28 pots left and roughly 80 pieces of meat. This was something w.a.n.g Ming needed to track, since when he runs out of meat he would need to close the restaurant. w.a.n.g Ming had earned no money yet, so this was the way he had to do things for now.

Though having so many customers already is a good sign for him and his plans. If he could sell all the food today, he would have enough money to buy even more ingredients to sell. Depending on the earnings he could also hire someone to help him, though this would also depend on the consistency. If his restaurant died down in some days, then he would lose money on hiring an additional worker.

Helping Louzheng to take some orders to lessen his load and stress. w.a.n.g Ming then ran to the kitchen and started to do some simple plating. w.a.n.g Ming started to work on the orders by taking out the meat from the clay pots and cutting them each into small cubes and putting them on their respective plates. Since w.a.n.g Ming wanted this to be a family restaurant, he wanted the food to look good and appetizing for both old and young.

He would serve two different versions if there was a family with young children, he would on the plate with meat and vegetables also put two rice b.a.l.l.s but he would shape it like a cat's face. Shaping ears with rice and putting some nori on it to form the face. The other version would be with more vegetables and would have a more tidy and clean look.

w.a.n.g Ming and Louzheng worked with great speed and synchronization. w.a.n.g Ming felt it was great working with Louzheng, he was very serious and they had good teamwork with each other almost like they had worked together for many years. Many times he didn't even need to tell Louzheng to do something, glancing at w.a.n.g Ming once he instantly knew what to do. There were some times where w.a.n.g Ming needed to tell Louzheng what to do or correct him, but that was expected.

Working their way through orders everything went smoothly, after a half hour they had taken orders and served the 1st 16 customers of the restaurant. There were no complaints and everybody were eating happily. Done in the kitchen, w.a.n.g Ming then walked around the restaurant to talk with his customers, since he was curious about what they really felt about his dish. Though not wanting to impose on their meals, he only asked and answered short.

w.a.n.g Ming felt satisfied by all the answers he got, most of the customers meant that this was the best braised pork belly they had ever eaten. And the ones that knew a little more about food all praised his effort in making the pork belly tender. Hearing people appreciate all his effort really made it feel great. The most important thing for w.a.n.g Ming was that he was satisfied with the dish, but getting recognition from others felt great.

After talking with all the customers, w.a.n.g Ming saw that Louzheng started to take payments and customers leaving. So he made his way back to the kitchen and started to prepare more pork. This was how the four next hours went.

w.a.n.g Ming felt happy that they had sold out only after 4 hours. They had been having customers and a queue since he opened the restaurant. If this kept going, he could probably earn a fortune of millions in no time.

Everything went great until they went out of stock and had to reject customers. Most of them were ok with it since w.a.n.g Ming promised to be back the next day and promised to give 10 percent off for any person who had waited over 30 minutes.

Though some of them got angry and started to make a ruckus. w.a.n.g Ming tried to explain to them and be civil that it would take him at least 8 hours to make the dish. But they still didn't want to hear, so instead of quarrelling with his customers, he closed and locked the restaurant door. Seeing him close the door, and straight up ignored them, the angry customers just walked away vowing to talk s.h.i.+t about the restaurant.

Seeing the angry customers walk away, w.a.n.g Ming sighed and went to the cas.h.i.+er box to check on his earnings while Louzheng cleaned up.

w.a.n.g Ming had sold the dish at the price of 125 yuan per serving, which he thought was expensive. But surprisingly enough, none of his customers complained at the price, most likely because of the location of the restaurant and the people roaming around here. If it kept going this way, then w.a.n.g Ming would increase the price of the dish. Because the dish took over 8 to 9 hours to complete.

Taking out the cash inside the cas.h.i.+er box, w.a.n.g Ming started to count out loud.

He kept doing it until he finally reached the last bill which totaled everything up to 9320 yuan. w.a.n.g Ming had done some calculations and it should have been 9375 yuan, but most likely Louzheng had done some minor errors when taking and giving back money.

After deducting the money he had used to buy the meat, wine etc. w.a.n.g Ming had earned roughly 5 to 6 thousand yuan today. If he kept going like this, he could earn about 150 thousand yuan in a month and close to 2 million yuan in a year.

But seeing how popular his restaurant already was from only the 1st day, w.a.n.g Ming intended to increase the amount of meat he made. From 100 pieces to 200 pieces, though this meant that he would have to get more clay pots and at least 2 more stoves.

w.a.n.g Ming also intended to do take aways, since he only had 16 tables. Takeaway would give the chance to people that didn't want to sit down at his restaurant, but want's to eat at home with their family or friends.

Having his plan all sorted out, w.a.n.g Ming helped Louzheng clean up the rest of the restaurant. Working together it took only 45 minutes before the restaurant was s.h.i.+ning clean.

After they were done w.a.n.g Ming told Louzheng about the money they had earned and promised to give him a BIG bonus if it kept going like this to the end of the month. They then both went out, Louzheng home, while w.a.n.g Ming still had to buy meat, wine, spices and condiments and new stoves and clay pots.
