Although Zhou Muhan is gone, the days will continue, and the business will continue to be done, Gu Xinyu also knows in her heart that only if she has more and more silver in her hands, she will have the opportunity to help Zhou Muhan in the future, or give herself the capital to settle down.

So she came to Rongcheng in a carriage again, this time to prepare for the opening ceremony of the branch of Dingding Xiang Restaurant in Rongcheng, although this branch is nominally a branch, but the area is four times that of the current Dingding Xiang Restaurant, and it is divided into two floors.

Although the upper floor is not suitable for living in the cold winter, the original owner of this restaurant is a southerner, and he has the ingenuity to surround it with a fire dragon.

It's the kind of heating facility that resembles a conservatory, but it comes from a chimney.

Using the hot smoky floor of the chimney to warm the floor of the bricks, there are also quaint charcoal stoves in the four corners of the house.

In this way, in winter, the people above can also eat here with peace of mind, this house used to be a restaurant, but this southerner, because of his age, and have never been used to the cold of the north, have had enough of it over the years.

Therefore, there is another reason why the restaurant is sold in this season, in fact, the business is getting worse and worse.

Gu Xinyu, He Ziqing and He Lin, upstairs and downstairs looked at this house, Gu Xinyu was very satisfied.

This was originally a restaurant for guests to eat, and the dining table and chairs are well maintained.

This can be used right away, except for the surrounding walls that are a little old, the others don't need to be remodeled too much.

Then Gu Xinyu told Uncle Wang, who came with him. Go to the Zhao family blacksmith shop in Xicheng to order hot pot.

This time the number of hot pots is large, Gu Xinyu told Uncle Wang that this hot pot is slightly different from the last order.

It is to add something in the middle of the new hot pot, simply put, add a copper plate, but it must be curved, similar to the appearance of the Bagua diagram.

The name of this kind of hot pot is called Mandarin Duck Hot Pot, which simply means that if you want to eat spicy, eat it here, and if you want to eat something that is not spicy, eat it on the other side.

In later generations, the earliest hot pots were also heated purely with charcoal. And Gu Xinyu's hot pot in Dingdingxiang Restaurant has also been transformed.

When I first designed and manufactured hot pot. Gu Xinyu and Uncle Wang also had a lot of thought about making hot pot.

Fortunately, the north is still rich in energy, and the most abundant are wood and charcoal.

Because it is backed by mountains, it is full of vast forests. And there are many charcoal burning families in the suburbs of Rongcheng.

Supply is not a problem at all. And the price is not expensive.

Besides, because Dingdingxiang is mainly engaged in a variety of new stir-fried dishes, hot pot is one of the varieties.

Therefore, not all of the restaurants are hot pot, and there are only six dining tables.

When making this charcoal hot pot, the table should be modified. A hole must be dug in the middle, otherwise safety is still a problem.

Then, because there are too few seats for hot pot, customers who want to eat hot pot every day have to make reservations in advance.

But this time, Gu Xinyu happily looked at the spacious upstairs and downstairs, she thought, Rongcheng in the north is a cold place, and this hot pot is the most beautiful food in winter for them.

The most important thing is that this winter is still long.

Gu Xinyu looked around, and kept thinking in his heart, all the upstairs and downstairs of the restaurant had to be placed hot pot, he calculated carefully, upstairs and downstairs were added together, there were a total of eighteen tables, and there were not many masters.

And this thing is like this, if you eat it easily, then you will feel how good and precious it is, and it is still a very good marketing method to hang the appetite properly.

And the name of this restaurant Gu Xinyu has already been thought of, this restaurant is called Dingding Xiangyuan Duck Hot Pot.

After Gu Xinyu finished saying this name, He Ziqing next to him asked although he was a little embarrassed: "Young lady, why is it called Mandarin Duck Hot Pot?" ”

Gu Xinyu asked He Ziqing to look at the drawings she had drawn just now, pointed to the fire and said, "Ziqing, look, this hot pot is divided into two from the middle, if water is added to both, it looks like two mandarin ducks floating on the water?" ”

He Ziqing nodded, and quickly shut up and stopped asking, she was worried that Gu Xin would say anything else without holding back her words

A few people went to the back of the stove room to take a look, the back of the house is not as clean as imagined, it seems that it is necessary to do a good and thorough hygiene, especially in the catering industry, this hygiene is the most important.

As for the manpower problem, this will be handed over to Uncle Wang and He Lin to do it together, Gu Xinyu is now only responsible for overall planning and arrangement, she suddenly feels a bit like the CEO!

These people calculated the time, and after all the hot pot restaurants were repaired, and after adding the mandarin duck hot pot, it would take less than fifteen days.

Gu Xinyu asked Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, you are very experienced in this area, you can choose one, the auspicious day of the zodiac, and then how about we open on that day?" ”

Uncle Wang nodded happily: "Okay, young lady, I'll check the yellow calendar when I go back, and I'll tell you when I choose a good day." ”

Seeing Gu Xinyu's business getting bigger and bigger and more prosperous, Uncle Wang is also full of energy.

Then Gu Xinyu said to He Lin again: "Uncle He, our caravan, have you thought about the next departure time?" ”

He Lin nodded, and several people sat down at the table and began to discuss the caravan and the greenhouse.

He told Gu Xinyu that he had already booked the time for his next departure in advance, that is, when the second batch of vegetables was picked in the eight hundred greenhouses in Rongcheng.

The second batch of vegetables included bok choy, rape and shallots, as well as leeks and cucumbers.

Watermelon and other vegetables will not be available until the end of the year, but it is an excellent season, because it is the New Year, whether poor or rich, they have to celebrate this year.

The poor have the law of the poor, and the rich have the law of the rich.

But even the poor will fill their tables on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even if they are pickles.

They will buy a little copper plate that they have worked hard to earn this year and put it on the table, if the table is empty, then it is very unlucky.

Maybe that's a good expectation!

Speaking of the apricots and cherries in Shouchang City, Gu Xinyu became interested, and she asked He Lin: "Uncle He, where in Shouchang City, when is the season for apricot blossoms and cherries to bloom every year?" ”

He Lin thought for a while, twisted his beard, and said with a smile: "It should be in March and April every year."

Therefore, the batch of vegetables produced before the year is the highlight of the whole greenhouse and the main source of income.

He Lin told everyone that according to his observations, there were more rich families and nobles in Shouchang City than in Rongcheng, because the climate and temperature there were about ten degrees higher than here.

It is also because the best food in the entire Zhou Dynasty is produced there, apricots and cherries, and this time He Lin came back, he brought a lot, dried cherries and dried apricots. (To be continued.) )
