Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold
Cheng Xiaoquan was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "Shopkeeper, the little one is wrong, I won't dare next time!" ā
Su Lai's tone was very stern: "Do you dare to have a next time?" ā
The shopkeeper's name is Su Lai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Cheng Xiaoquan hurriedly raised his hand and promised: "Don't dare, don't dare again, there won't be a next time!" Ask the shopkeeper for forgiveness, the little one knows it's wrong! ā
He understands that the shopkeeper is really angry!
Although, he also has a backer, but the backer of the shopkeeper is even more powerful, that is the rightful lady of Luofu! Moreover, this drunken fairy building seems to be the dowry of the lady! At the beginning, his cousin Aunt Li got him into the Drunken Immortal Building, but it took a lot of effort, and even the old man took action. In the end, the lady had to agree, but the young owner was very strong and rejected the proposal to let him be the second shopkeeper.
Over the past year, if it weren't for the fact that Shao Dongjia was injured in an accident and was sick in bed, he wouldn't have been so bullish and presumptuous in Zuixianlou. The job of welcoming customers at the door of the restaurant was proposed by himself, which was much better than the work of running the hall and the back kitchen.
When the people who run the hall are busy, they are really busy and sweating, and when they meet guests with bad tempers, they will be scolded or even beaten. The work in the back kitchen is dirty and tiring, and in the winter, I have to wash the dishes with cold water. The work of welcoming guests at the door is too leisurely. When he was happy, when he saw a rich man dressed in gorgeous clothes, he was a little more enthusiastic and gave a little more smile. Sometimes, you can get a lot of bounty. When he met a poor ghost, he was happy, and he let people in to eat. When he was unhappy, he scolded him loudly, and even hit him a few times to vent his unhappiness. The salary is not less than that of other guys, it is really beautiful!
Su Lai had long been eager to quit this person, and immediately sneered: "Hmph, this time, for Aunt Li's sake, she will be punished lightly." will deduct your salary for five days, and punish you for washing dishes and chopsticks for a month, so that you can have a long memory! It's too much to do it to the guests, and to take such a thick stick! ā
Not to mention hitting someone, even if it is a quarrel with a guest, it is generally not allowed. In front of this brother and sister, at first glance, they are honest and responsible people, and they will definitely not be villains. It is an unforgivable sin to do something to such a guest, if it weren't for Cheng Xiaoquan is Aunt Li's cousin, he would have to be expelled today!
Aunt Li is the new concubine of the owner, only sixteen years old, a full thirty years younger than the owner, and much younger than the young owner. Relying on the favor of the owner, he forced Cheng Xiaoquan to be stuffed into the Drunken Immortal Building, and pressed him to let Cheng Xiaoquan be the second manager. If it weren't for the insistence of the young owner who disagreed, this guy who bullied people and didn't learn and didn't know how to do it would really become a second manager.
If such a person is a second manager, the business of this drunken immortal building will definitely plummet. Even so, having such a-stirring stick as a buddy has scared off a lot of repeat customers. This guy has never had a good word or a good face for those who are not gorgeously dressed. After coming and going, many ordinary guests, or rich people who don't like gorgeous clothes, naturally don't come.
Anyway, there is a cyclamen on the opposite side, and the grade is not lower than that of the drunken immortal building. It's just that the drunken immortal building in this Feng County has been open for more than ten years, while the cyclamen has only been open for two years. That's the difference. The chef of cyclamen is also a real skill, and the owner is also a veteran of business.
If this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Drunken Immortal Building to continue.
Last month, profits have plummeted, about half a percent less than this time last year. Although there is no loss, it is not far from a loss! If you don't want to find a way, there's really no need to drive on!
Besides, whether it is profitable or not is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Luo family has worked hard to manage its reputation for hundreds of years, and it can't withstand such a toss.
The Shaodong family will definitely not be willing to let the reputation of the Luo family be ruined in the hands of a concubine's cousin! It's a pity that the young owner was plotted by someone, and now he is sick in bed, and it is difficult to even walk. Otherwise, this Cheng Xiaoquan, as well as Aunt Li, would not dare to be so arrogant.
Before the young owner got better, this restaurant had to ask him to be the shopkeeper, and his ideas were supported. If there is a way, the business can flourish again, and it can be regarded as his life-saving grace to his wife back then, and he will repay one or two.
At this juncture, I don't dare to do anything that will affect the reputation of Drunken Immortal Building. Moreover, although this little girl's dress is very shabby, her eyes are very clear and bright, and her every move reveals a natural elegance and dignity. At first glance, she is not a real country girl, and it is not impossible to say that she is the eldest lady of a noble family in the capital.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Su hurriedly greeted Yun Lan warmly: "This girl, I'm very sorry, please come in quickly." Today, I invite you two to dinner as an atonement! ā
His attitude is very sincere and enthusiastic, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Yun Lan's heart was seven points satisfied, this shopkeeper is trustworthy.
"Shopkeeper, my brother and I are not here to eat, but to discuss a business with the shopkeeper!"
Shopkeeper Su was very surprised, but the warm and kind smile on his face remained the same: "Okay, please come with me to the second floor to talk!" ā
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you for the trust of the shopkeeper!" Yun Lan pulled the sleeve of the eldest brother, followed behind the shopkeeper, and came to the private room of the second one together.
The guy in charge of hospitality on the second floor was very eye-catching, and came in with good tea, snacks, and dried fruits.
Along the way, tired and thirsty.
Yun Lan was not polite, picked up the teacup, and drank several sips happily.
The eldest brother is very restrained, and he doesn't even dare to serve a teacup.
Yun Lan sighed in her heart, the eldest brother was bullied by the uncle's family, such a big person, from childhood to adulthood, he has been to the town twice. Or pick firewood to sell, after selling it, there will be no stay at all, you can never see the world at all.
In such a luxurious private room, facing the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, it is no wonder that he is so nervous.
"Big brother, are you thirsty? Take a sip of tea, this is good tea, the taste is very good, and the aftertaste is sweet! Yun Lan stuffed the teacup in front of his eldest brother into his hand and smiled at him comfortingly.
The wood was a little more comfortable, and he raised his head and drank it all.
He's still really thirsty, this tea is so delicious!
My sister has indeed changed a lot, and in front of the nobles, she can still be so calm. It seems that as his eldest brother, he can't be too useless.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Tou calmed down a little and dared to look up at Shopkeeper Su.
This young man's eyes are so pure, he looks very honest and responsible, and he is a simple peasant boy.
Shopkeeper Su likes it a little more in his heart, as the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, he has seen a lot of deception, and he is naturally not a person without calculations. However, in his heart, for those who are pure-minded, he sincerely likes them, and prefers to be close and trusting.
"Hungry, huh? Eat some dried fruits and snacks, and you're welcome! Shopkeeper Su looked at the eyes of the brother and sister, and he was much kinder, like a kind and generous elder.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Yun Lan was really hungry, her hungry head was a little dizzy, and after walking so far on the mountain road, the bowl of vegetable porridge she drank before setting off had already been digested. Unceremoniously peeled a few peanuts, chewed and swallowed a few bites, and drank a sip of tea, and the stomach was much more comfortable.
After drinking the tea, seeing that the eldest brother was not moving, he peeled a few more grains for the eldest brother and stuffed them into the eldest brother's hands: "Eldest brother, eat a little, the shopkeeper is a good person." ā
Shopkeeper Su, who was issued a good person card, couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
Yun Lan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm still really hungry, a little dizzy!" Thank you, shopkeeper. ā
Shopkeeper Su smiled gently: "It's okay, you can eat if you want, don't be too restrained." By the way, what business are you going to talk to me about? ā
Yun Lan took out a few bamboo shoots from the back basket and put them on the table: "I'm here to sell recipes, and I know a few dishes made from spring shoots." ā
The joy in Shopkeeper Su's eyes dimmed a lot: "But, girl, this bamboo shoot is not delicious!" It's bitter and astringent, it's okay to eat it once or twice at home, but if it's a restaurant dish, it's definitely not good! ā
Mu Tou hurriedly took over the conversation: "My sister has a way to get rid of the bitterness!" ā
"Really?!" Shopkeeper Su's eyes lit up a little more.
Yun Lan nodded: "Yes, I have a way, our family has already eaten spring bamboo shoots several times!" I've come up with several recipes on my own, and I've tried them all, and it's really good. Is the shopkeeper willing to buy this recipe? If I want, I can do it once in the Drunken Immortal Building today, and after the shopkeeper has tasted it, I will make a decision! ā
Shopkeeper Su's eyes were full of joy, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, as long as the food is delicious, then it's fine!" In terms of price, I won't be disadvantaged to you! ā
personally took the brother and sister to the back kitchen, instructed the master, and vacated a small kitchen. Drunken Immortal Building, there is more than one kitchen, there are three in total. One large kitchen, two small kitchens, two small kitchens, one for the dim sum chef and one for the chef.
Chef Uncle Hai has a good relationship with Shopkeeper Su, and he is also a henchman of the Shao Dong's family. Shopkeeper Su ordered this, and Uncle Hai was not displeased, so he responded very happily.
He believed that Shopkeeper Su and the young owner would not deprive him of his status as the number one chef just because a new chef came. His cooking skills are very good, and he is loyal enough, and he has no ghosts in his heart, so he is naturally fearless.
Yun Lan took the spoon, and the wood gave her a hand. Half an hour later, a few dishes were ready and steaming on the table. Luo Xiangbei, the young owner, was also specially invited by the shopkeeper Su, and a friend from the capital of Luo Xiangbei also came.
There are five dishes in total, and a soup is made.
Naturally, every dish is related to spring bamboo shoots.
Yun Lan introduced: "Whether it is cold salad, stir-fried or boiled soup, spring bamboo shoots are fresh and fragrant, and they are very good and delicious. After the beginning of spring, the bamboo shoots are hypertrophied, white as jade, the meat is fresh and tender, delicious and refreshing, and rich in nutrition, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the king of dishes. Regular food has the effects of nourishing yin, benefiting blood, dissolving phlegm, eliminating food, facilitating convenience, and brightening the eyes. When children suffer from measles, they can drink soup made from tender bamboo shoots to make measles penetrate and shorten the disease period. In addition, it is also one of the most ideal foods for dieters. ā
"Wow, really?" Shopkeeper Su couldn't help but exclaim, full of joy. If this is the case, the dishes made by this spring bamboo shoot can also make a big fuss and make the business more prosperous!
"Naturally, it's true." Yun Lan nodded, pointed to one of the dishes and continued: "This is braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, the raw materials are spring bamboo shoots, green onion white, salt, and soy sauce. The steps are actually very simple, 1. Peel and wash the spring bamboo shoots; 2. Cut and cut sections; 3. Put the spring bamboo shoots in boiling water and boil for 3 minutes, remove and drain; 4. Cut the green onion into sections, and separate the green onion from the white; 5. Heat the oil pan and fry the green onion white first to make it fragrant; 6. Pour in the spring bamboo shoots and fry for a while; 7. Add salt, soy sauce and sugar and stir-fry well to color; 8. Add half a bowl of water and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes; 9. Finally, turn to high heat to reduce the juice, sprinkle with chopped green onions and stir-fry well. Among them, the first three steps are to remove the bitter taste! Everyone, please try it and see if it tastes good. ā
She was very generous and said the way to remove bitterness.
The people present couldn't help but be very shocked, and suddenly subconsciously glanced at her: This girl is not a simple person, and she will have a lot of achievements in the future.
Yun Lan introduced several dishes one by one: spring bamboo shoot loin, stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with ginger and shallots, stir-fried spring bamboo shoots with chili peppers, spring bamboo shoots and mushroom soup, spring bamboo shoots braised pork shoots, and crucian carp spring bamboo shoot soup.
These ingredients are very common, and ordinary people can afford to eat them.
Everyone tasted it one by one and nodded frequently.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's no worse than the expensive food made by the Imperial Chef!" This is what the son from the capital said.
Shao Dongjia Luo Xiangbei was full of praise: "Well, it's really delicious, and it can become the signature dish of Zuixian Lou!" Su Bo, buy all these recipes, give twenty taels of silver for one recipe! The way to get rid of the bitter taste, give an extra fifty taels! ā
This girl is not simple at first glance, maybe she can come up with more new recipes in the future. It is necessary to be kind and sincere to her.
Moreover, his impression of her is very good: smart and clever, kind, and a little pitiful, so that he can't help but want to be nice to her.
Shopkeeper Su had a bright and joyful smile on his face: "Yes!" ā
Yun Lan's heart blossomed.
Today, I earned one hundred and ninety taels of silver in one fell swoop!
With this first pot of gold, the road to making a fortune in the future will be much easier! If you have money in hand, even if you go to your in-law's house, you don't have to panic!
Walking on the way home, the wood was still in a trance, like a dream.
