Shen Lu turned his head to look and saw an angry young man standing on the shore.

He was about twenty-four or five years old, wearing an ordinary samurai uniform, and his appearance was not anything special. But his sword-eyed and angry appearance made Shen Lu couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Rao's temperament can greatly affect the appearance and bring other feelings.

A powerful person has the air of a bully, even if he is born ugly, many people dare not despise him. And some people who are afraid of things and usually only steal chickens and dogs, even if they give birth to extremely handsome appearances, will reveal their despicable nature between words.

Although Shen Lu himself is handsome, more often than not, it is his confident temperament that makes him stand out.

And when Shen Lu saw the man in front of him, he also had a feeling similar to the first time he saw Baili Yiming. Just by looking at it, you can see that this person is not ordinary.

Of course, he is not ordinary, Guan Shen Lu is a, this Jade Emperor City is like a cloud, and there are countless talents, such a person is not unusual.

Shen Lu only glanced at him twice, then closed his eyes again and washed his body.

Although the man was very angry, he didn't seem to be coming for Shen Lu.

He was already angry about other things, and because he drank a sip of water downstream, he found that there was a man in the bath upstream, and he was angry, so he came over and said a few words.

Seeing that Shen Lu ignored him, the man didn't dwell on it, but went to a far place upstream, sat by the stream, and then took out the storage ring and came out, as if he was fiddling with something.

Shen Lu suddenly felt curious, so he got dressed and walked over.

When they were far away, Shen Lu hugged his fists and said: "This old brother, I was wrong just now, I hope you don't get angry, I don't know that you are drinking water downstream." ”

"Forget it, you didn't mean to. The man waved his hand, and went on to delve into his business.

When Shen Lu got closer, he found that all he took out from the storage ring were some pots and pans, various spices, and various ingredients. He was busy with his work, and it turned out that he was making food.

He seemed to be making a meat dish at this time, and the meat used was extremely tender, and although it was raw, it looked very fresh and firm. As long as it is made properly, it must be a very tasty dish.

After the man was busy, he put the cut pieces of meat on the steamer and began to steam, and then went to prepare the sauce.

After a while, the meat had already been steamed, and suddenly an extremely delicious aroma of meat hit, making Shen Lu's index finger move.

The man turned his head and glanced at Shen Lu, and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat?" Wait a while, I just need someone to try the food, and it will be cheaper for you today." ”

"Yes, I just haven't eaten. Shen Lu agreed with a smile.

Because after watching the man cook for a while, Shen Lu felt that he was an extremely attentive person. When making materials, he is very focused on doing every process. And when he invited Shen Lu to try it just now, he also had a very kind and sunny expression.

Intuition made Shen Lu feel that this man was not a bad person, but a cook who was obsessed with cooking. It kind of reminded him of a hundred miles of a song.

When he took off the steamed meat, Shen Lu thought that the dish was ready. Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed the oil pan on the stove, and put all the freshly steamed meat into the oil pan to fry.

Shen Lu looked stunned, he didn't know why he did this, and couldn't help but shout: "Hey, what are you doing, isn't the meat going to get old if it's so fried?"

"Will it?" the man scratched his head in disbelief, and then insisted on finishing the meat.

At this point, the meat is already black, and it looks very unpalatable. He dipped a little sauce, ate a piece of meat, spit it out after two bites, and hurriedly rinsed his mouth by the river.

Shen Lu said helplessly: "See, right? With such tender meat, there is no need for this redundant frying process." Don't fry it, even if you boil it, the original flavor of the meat will disappear, but steamed meat, which is not very common in ordinary cooking, can keep the meat tender and delicious."

The man paused for a moment, then slapped his head abruptly and said, "Yes, that's the truth." It's no wonder that the cooks at home only steam this dish and then serve it with the sauce. I was thinking that this dish was a little light, and if it was fried in a heavy mouth, it might be even more fragrant. I didn't know that this meat couldn't be treated like this, and my experiment failed again......"

"This is common sense, brother, if you don't even understand this, why do you have to cook by yourself?" Shen Lu said helplessly.

Shen Lu and Baili Yiming have been together for a long time, and they have somewhat learned some basic knowledge of cooking.

Originally, Shen Lu thought that he had met another master of cooking, but he didn't know that the person in front of him was even more half-witted than himself.

The man was also a little helpless, and sighed: "If I don't innovate, this dish will still be the original dish, then my dish will not be sold." If I can't sell it, I can't make money, and if I can't make money, why should I learn to cook?"

Complaining, the man waved his big hand in annoyance and swept the pots and bowls on the table.

Shen Lu didn't expect him to have such a big temper, and he didn't want to care about it, but now he is really hungry, and the storage ring is full of some fruits or something, and there is still a lot of meat on the other party's table.

For the sake of the meat, Shen Lu also walked over pretendically, sat down beside him, and patiently asked, "Friend, why are you so angry?"

"I want to make money, I want to make a lot of money!" the man clenched his fists and said fiercely, "I have tried countless methods. Crafting silk, making armor, drawing talismans, etc., but none of them can create their own new gadgets that are easy to sell for money. And so on...... I really can't make any money. ”

He didn't want to make money so much, but there must be a reason for him, and he obviously didn't want to.

Shen Lu saw his emotions, so he didn't ask him why he wanted to make money, but asked him: "Why are you obsessed with innovation? In fact, if you want to make money, you can also make money just by making money and doing business, and selling some things that you already have in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"That's too slow, it's too late. I have studied business for a period of time, and I found that all the businesses that get rich quickly have some extremely special and hot-selling things that can bring this kind of sudden wealth. ”

It seems that it is really a child who wants to talk crazy about money.

But he was right. In traditional business, in addition to being slow to make money, it is also suppressed by other peers. Unless the sword goes off the rails, it is impossible to make too much money in a short period of time.

"Then why are you innovating dishes?" Shen Lu suddenly asked curiously.

"There's a new dish, I'm going to open a restaurant. After making money, continue to open restaurants, and then open the entire Ancient Holy Kingdom, wouldn't it be possible to make money?" the man said as a matter of course.

Shen Lu almost wanted to give him a thumbs up.

How did he come up with this fast-food restaurant chain?

So Shen Lu asked curiously, "Then how many new dishes have you researched?"

"It's the first one, and it's not delicious, so I haven't had any of them yet. The man sighed.

Shen Lu was deflated for a while, and then said: "Although your dishes can be innovated, isn't your business model still the traditional model of opening restaurants and selling rice materials? ”

The man looked dazed, and didn't seem to understand Shen Lu's words.

Shen Lu pondered for a moment and asked the man, "How many times faster do you plan to make money in a traditional business?"

The man opened his mouth and replied, "At least a hundredfold." ”

"Okay, just a hundredfold. In an ordinary restaurant, the flow of people per person is considered to be a thousand people. Let's say your dishes are very popular, and if you sell them ten times the price, you have to serve at least 10,000 customers every time. Do you know what that means?"

The man said blankly, "What does it mean?"

"You have to build a large restaurant in the most prosperous part of the downtown area, which is more than five times larger than the average restaurant, to have this effect. ”

"Then build it, I still have this capital!"

Shen Lu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Even if you build it, it's really so powerful, then what should you do next? Do you use the money you earn to build a restaurant of the same scale? Does the Jade Emperor City have so many lots for you to build? If you build it, can you really guarantee that 10,000 guests will patronize? If you build ten restaurants, do you want the 100,000 people in the Jade Emperor City to eat in your restaurant?"

The man finally realized this, and his face suddenly showed despair. He thought for a while, and just now what he was thinking, Shen Lu continued to add: "This is still the premise that the food you cook can be sold for ten times the price! What if you can only sell five times? You have to let every 200,000 customers patronize, if you can only sell twice as much, you have to let 500,000 customers patronize!"

These words completely dispelled the man's last thoughts, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Yours is right, if you want to make a lot of money by opening a restaurant, it is simply wishful thinking." At this point, it seems that I don't need to learn how to cook anymore. ”

I have to put away the kitchen utensils and ingredients.

Shen Lu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't, don't." Although these things can't make you soar, they can fill our stomachs. You have been experimenting like this, and you probably haven't eaten much, have you? I saw that you looked hungry when you ate meat, and you must have been hungry for a long time. It's not good that these ingredients are wasted, so let's solve it. ”

The man didn't refuse, so he stepped aside and let Shen Lu cook.

Shen Lu sorted out the ingredients, came to the stove, and suddenly wondered, "Hey, why is there no firewood?

The man replied, "There are a few charms in this furnace, and then I use my mana to urge them, and the charms ignite automatically, and they burn." ”

Shen Lu smiled and said, "Don't brag." How long does the spell last, how can it be used to burn the fire for cooking. ”

The man removed the iron cover from the stove, then pointed to the intricate mechanism inside, "Look, this is where I used to ignite the charm. Here I added two mana primordial stones, which will suppress the burst of mana and make the spell burn slowly. I've also used some traps here to control the fire......"

After that, he told Shen Lu all the intricate structures in the furnace.

Shen Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "You invented this?"

"yes, there's nothing to do. ”

"Then why don't you sell stoves, isn't that much more profitable than cooking?"
