Chapter 54: A Dinner Treat
Su Minzhi dusted the account book on the table, his heart was a little bottomless, although he didn't know how to do business, but he knew the price of Luoyang, these days, the storefront, the repair of the shop, plus the purchase of manpower, buy materials, the silver is like flowing water, today's lunch, it takes effort and money, in the long run, where can this be afforded?
"Xin'er! Are you really sure it works? Su Minzhi's expression was a little worried, letting the girl bear the responsibility of supporting the family is a failure to be a man! But now he really can't think of any good way to help his sister. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Take your time, let's not rush!" The merchant said unhurriedly, she knew Su Minzhi's worries, but these things were not in a hurry, and the reason why she chose the shop here was also meaningful.
There are countless merchants passing by this big market every day, and those with face will not come here to eat, but what about those who follow? Those people can't go in and out of the restaurant, as long as she has clean things here and an elegant environment, she can also have business, not to mention, she has also inquired, there is no restaurant on this street, and all the guys' meals in the store are either the boss's bag, or they bring some food from home, but after a long time, people will get tired of it, so the businessman specially ordered a work package, the ingredients are all selected well, and the income is a shout. As long as time goes by, people think it's a good deal, and business will naturally come.
Although Su Minzhi is not good at management, but fortunately, he is smart, and he often interacts with the shopkeepers of these big shops, and he will be able to learn a lot of business knowledge, which will also be a great help to him in the future. This is a small plan in the private heart of the businessman, but I don't know if it can succeed.
"Brother! We are not in a hurry about the things in the store, you may wish to interact more with the shopkeepers of the shops here if you have time, that is, invite them to eat more, we will not lose anything, if you can learn some business skills, then we will make a lot of money! Not to mention that you are more expensive than Wang Hou, at least it is no problem to be a rich giant, and my sister will have to rely on her brother to support her in the future! Shang Shang looked at Su Minzhi naughtily, he knew that Su Minzhi was under a lot of pressure, as a man, it was a shame not to be able to take care of his family, she said this just to give Su Minzhi some encouragement, and didn't want him to be too tight.
"Xin'er! You're talking again! My brother is going to marry you off in the future! Su Minzhi restrained his smile and said seriously.
Although he didn't know who Li Mo was, he could see that he valued his sister very much. When he took care of his eldest brother in the prince's mansion, he also secretly inquired, only knowing that he was a very useful person in front of the prince, and he was not married, if the sister followed him in the future, it would be a good thing, but the identity of the sister was a little troublesome, and he was reluctant to let her be a concubine, but it was absolutely impossible to be a wife according to Tang Law. This made him extremely annoyed, and he secretly hated his father's confusion at the beginning, but now he has caused his sister to suffer this hardship!
The two of them were thinking about each other, but the thick curtain by the door was lifted, and when they turned their heads to look, they both opened their mouths in surprise.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Su Minzhi whispered in surprise, he never thought that the prince would come to the store at this time.
"Merchants knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!" Shang Shang came back to his senses from surprise, and at a glance he saw Li Mo standing behind Li Zhi in gorgeous clothes, he was still wearing that human skin mask, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, if Li Zhi was a long sword like a gentleman, Li Mo was more like an iron-blooded gun!
Su Minzhi hurriedly stepped forward to greet the merchant with him, his face was slightly swollen red, His Royal Highness the Prince came to the store to make him feel a little surprised, but a little happy, the prince came to the kitchen, this is a good opportunity, if you can use this as an opportunity, then the business of the kitchen will soon be popular.
"Excuse me!" Li Zhi called softly, but his eyes looked around at the store's furnishings.
The whole store does not have low couches like those big restaurants, but uses all stools and high tables, which is a pioneering feat at present, and no store has any stools in it.
There are some large plants in the four corners of the store, in this early spring, a piece of greenery, but very lively, the tables in the living room are not boxy, but they are all long, four stools are placed opposite each other, and there is a chest-high partition between each two tables, which is quite private, and only those partitions can be seen from outside the store, but the figures are not real.
"Shangshang, you have some delicious food here, I came hungry, you can't let me go home on an empty stomach!" Li Zhi looked at the merchant and said with a joking smile, on the thirtieth day, he had been in the mansion until the palace banquet was about to start before he had to enter the palace alone, but Li Mo was the two brothers who went outside the city to pick up the merchant.
He heard about this when Li Mo used his subordinates, as long as Li Mo was happy, he would also turn a blind eye, as long as he didn't do anything too out of line, his father would not say anything, but he didn't go to the palace banquet, his father was a little disappointed after all, looking at his father with frosted temples, sometimes he felt very powerless, I don't know when Li Mo can put it down?
"This is Shang Shang's brother, Su Minzhi, can His Royal Highness the Prince's food be taken care of by Shang Shang's brother?" The businessman pulled Su Minzhi to introduce Li Zhi, this is the prince of a country! It's okay to be familiar with him in front of him, and it doesn't hurt to be familiar.
"It's okay, then it's hard work." Li Zhi politely arched his hand towards Su Minzhi, Su Minzhi was flattered and returned the salute, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen, he had to go to see what else was in the back kitchen, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, don't dare to slack off!
When Su Minzhi went to the back kitchen, Li Zhi and Li Mo picked a seat in the middle and sat down, and the merchant took the teapot from Xiao Liuzi's hand and poured tea for the two of them, and the three of them sat down on the stool.
"How's your brother's illness?" Li Zhi took a sip of the teacup, a sweet fragrance entered his heart, his mind was clear, and he looked at the cup, but only a few jasmine flowers floated, and he was slightly surprised in his heart. He had never drunk tea with flowers as tea without ingredients, but the sweet aroma was very much to his taste.
"Thank you for the prince's concern, my brother's condition is much better now, but I need to nourish more when the cold is in my bones." The merchant smiled politely, facing Li Zhi, she always had an indescribable ridiculous feeling, this gentle man always made her unable to contact Tang Gaozong, but reason told her that it was this person.
"If you lack any medicinal materials, just send someone to the prince's mansion and say it, and I will help you get it." Li Mo said expressionlessly, his eyes flickered but he saw the Hetian jade bracelet worn by the merchant on his hand, the whitened bracelet was put on Hao's wrist, and the skin was more and more lined like congealed fat, Li Mo recognized at a glance that this bracelet was given to her that day, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and secretly said: She finally took him to heart.
If the businessman knew what Li Mo was thinking, he was afraid that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he blamed her for being itchy for a while, this bracelet happened to be what she liked, and she couldn't help but wear it when she really got her hands, where did she think that Li Mo would think so much?
"Hmmm! I will, I'll come to you if there's anything missing. The merchant brought up the kettle to refill Li Mo's teacup, not that he didn't thank him for what he did for her, but their identities were different after all, and it didn't hurt if they were just friends, but I was afraid that he wanted more than just friends!
"Merchant, how do you make this tea?" Li Zhi was a little curious, the thoughts in this shop, this sweet tea, everywhere revealed the difference of businessmen, so that Li Zhi couldn't help but be more interested in her, such a smart woman, if she followed Li Mo, it would really be a good thing, and it also made Mo's heart more warm.
"In fact, it's also simple, as long as the flowers of each season are picked, washed and dried with a little water, all kinds of flower tea flavors are different, and merchants only make a few simple things, if His Royal Highness the Prince likes it, merchants and merchants order people to wrap up some of His Royal Highnesses can be brought back to the house to drink." The merchant smiled, picked up the pot and helped Li Zhi refill a glass of water.
"That's great, I like your sweet tea, it's much better than those rich and colorful teas." Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and took a sip of tea.
While the three of them were talking, Su Minzhi brought Xiao Liuzi in with a large tray, and there was a tray full of dishes on the plate, and he saw the rising heat from a distance.
The merchant raised his eyes and saw it, so he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed today, there is actually a herring caught in Luoshui under this kitchen." ”
As he spoke, Su Minzhi had already come closer, Xiao Liuzi lowered his body slightly, and Su Minzhi put the dishes on the tray on the table one by one.
Because there are only two or three people, the kitchen only makes four dishes and one soup, all of which are home-cooked dishes that businessmen are used to, but there is no beef and mutton, but I don't know if Li Zhi and others are used to eating it.
Su Min introduced the dish while serving the dishes: "This dish is braised herring, this dish is garlic kidney flower, this dish is Kung Pao chicken, this dish is gold silk and silver sprouts, and there is a meatball soup." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince please. ”
Su Minzhi set the dishes and stepped back, after all, this kind of small table, he was not very suitable for sharing a table with the prince, although he was very curious about how he could eat at the same table with Li Zhi as Li Mo? However, in his opinion, this is also a good phenomenon, at least it shows that those servants did not lie to him, and Li Mo is indeed very valued by Li Zhi.
"Boss Su is also with us!" Li Zhi looked at Su Minzhi's handsome face, this man was actually just affected by his father, just like a businessman.
Su Minzhi couldn't excuse himself, so he sat next to the businessman, and the four of them ate in a friendly group, Su Minzhi listened to the businessman's explanation, and remembered the characteristics of each dish very skillfully, and the few days before the opening were really eaten The dishes made by Song's mother for a few days, and the head of each dish was also the truth, Li Zhi and Li Mo listened to it with relish, especially Li Zhi, as the prince, how could he have eaten like this, and after eating this meal, his appetite really increased.
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise at the door, Li Mo frowned, and looked up, but it was several well-dressed middle-aged men pacing into the store.
"Which one is the shopkeeper of the kitchen?" First, a middle-aged man asked in a loud voice.
