Wu Fan stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Ziyu to sit down, and Li Ziyu sat opposite Wu Fan.

Wu Fan pondered for a while and said, "The idea of the hot pot city you mentioned last time was very interesting to our boss. I invite you to come today just to ask you to further talk about how to do it, the details are best written out, the more detailed the better, what do you think? ”

Wu Fan had a few dealings with Li Ziyu, and when talking about serious things, he didn't dare to treat her as a child. Knowing that this child had some ideas, he said this in a very serious tone and with respect.

Li Ziyu thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, I heard that you have found a shop, I want to take a look at the shop first before making plans." ”

"Okay, I'll take you to see it." Wu Fan stood up as he spoke, and took the lead out of the Winter Snow Pavilion. Li Ziyu followed behind, and the two went down the stairs one after the other.

At the door of the restaurant, the carriage was still there, and the coachman was waiting there.

Li Ziyu followed Wu Fan into the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage on the road without waiting for instructions. After the carriage had walked for a while, it turned into Tongji Street.

Tongji Street is in the east lane of Shiyan Town, which is the place where Shiyan Town and its prosperity are.

As soon as she entered Tongji Street, Li Ziyu's ears were filled with the noisy voices of people on the street. All kinds of shouting and shouting from Xiao Er came and went, and they were endless. Li Ziyu quietly lifted the curtains, and saw the paintings of the shops along the street were flying, antique, and very ancient. The street is bustling and busy, and almost all neatly dressed children are soliciting customers at the entrance of the store. Among the pedestrians were energetic young men on horseback, young ladies in gorgeous carriages, noble ladies in sedan chairs, and plainly dressed subordinates. Of course, there are also gorgeously dressed rich ladies who go shopping together, followed by a string of maids and servants. There are also playboys who burn buns in the winter with folding fans in their hands, and there are also readers in bookish robes.

Li Ziyu didn't see anyone dressed like Li Ziyu.

The carriage stopped after a while, Wu Fan took the lead and got out of the car, and Li Ziyu also got out of the car.

Wu Fan raised his head and said, "It's here, little jade girl, come down." ”

Li Ziyu lifted the fuchsia curtain and got out of the car. Look up, good guys, it's a three-story building again.

This building as a whole is green tile and vermilion eaves, flying eaves are anti-Yu, finely carved, high above the cloud table, and the wide gatehouse is inlaid with five golden characters of "Riri Red Restaurant". A spacious place was left between the gatehouse and the street, and a short distance away there was a tether stone, large enough to accommodate twenty or thirty carriages.

Li Ziyu followed Wu Fan through the gatehouse, which was a hundred-step colonnade between the gate and the restaurant. The hundred-step colonnade is a capped building, and the columns inside are all made of thick and round brown-red teak, and the guests who come out after eating can wait for their own carriage here, not afraid of the sun and rain.

After 100 steps of colonnade, push open the brown-red teak door of the restaurant, and you will see the lobby on the first floor of 500 square meters, which is beautifully decorated, carved beams and embroidered columns, and there are more than 100 tables. It's just that there are so few people at the restaurant that even the little two who serve the food can't keep their spirits up. On the east and west sides of the lobby are staircases leading to the second floor, which are beautifully carpeted.

Li Ziyu ascended to the second floor and saw private rooms with different decorations. Li Ziyuxin said, who said that ancient people couldn't do business, and they were on par with modern people.

Wu Fan saw that Li Ziyu was always calm, and he was not the slightest surprised by the luxury of the restaurant, and he couldn't help but secretly admire this little girl from the countryside.

The two came to the third floor, the decoration of the third floor is a grade higher than the second floor, the decoration materials are made of top wood small leaf red sandalwood, the interior decoration also has its own characteristics, the famous calligraphy and painting are exquisite, it seems very stylish.

From the second floor to the third floor, the staircase, the hallway and the private rooms are covered with exquisite Persian carpets. The gorgeous patterns and superb embroidery on it can really be described as beautiful.

The two walked around and came to the Meixiang Pavilion on the third floor, the two sat down separately, and Wu Fan asked Xiao Er to bring tea.

Wu Fan took a sip of tea and asked Li Ziyu opposite: "How is it, Miss Xiaoyu?" Can this restaurant open a hot pot city? ”

Li Ziyu also took a sip of tea, well, it seemed to be Biluochun. She raised her head and thought for a while and said, "Uncle Shopkeeper, this restaurant can completely open a hot pot city, and there is no need for major changes." It's just that I want to ask, why is the restaurant sluggish? It stands to reason that there shouldn't be no guests? ”

"Alas, it's all because of the new restaurant opposite the restaurant, what special dishes do people have, I heard that the invited imperial chef who has retired, and the guests have gone to the opposite side, and our restaurant naturally has no one to come." Wu Fan sighed and said.

What Wu Fan didn't say was that the shopkeeper of this restaurant had already asked the owner to send him to the south, saying that he had not made a profit in the south and was going to be replaced. In this way, he also has a sense of crisis. And he was ordered to preside over the hot pot city, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined.

Li Ziyu nodded understandingly, and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, the decoration of the house does not need to be changed, what needs to be changed is the table, and there are things that need to be added." In this way, you ask Xiao Er to bring pen and ink, and I will say that you will write. You also know that my words are ugly and cannot be seen by people. ”

When Wu Fan heard that there was no need for major changes, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly went out to ask someone to prepare pen and ink.

After a while, the little second who originally delivered the tea sent pen and ink, and when he heard Wu Fan call him, he realized that he was called Wangcai, and Li Ziyu, who provoked him, thought it was called a pet dog.

Wangcai brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and stood aside to sharpen the ink.

Wu Fan sat at the table and held a pen, and Li Ziyu dictated, listing the hard materials needed to open a hot pot city one by one.

"First of all, the table had to be changed, and a hole had to be made in the middle of the table to sit on a copper pot or a porcelain pot. The copper pot or porcelain pot should also be made separately, and I will draw a rough outline of the structure inside for a while, and you will refine it in detail. Then there is charcoal, which must be used well and cannot smoke. That's all you need to prepare. As for the materials I need for the opening, I prepare the plan first, and when the plan is ready, I will write a few ingredients for the soup base, and that's the key. ”

Wu Fan wrote down everything that needed to be prepared according to Li Ziyu's dictation.

Li Ziyu took the brush and wanted to draw a diagram of the internal structure of the hot pot, but the brush in his hand did not obey the call at all, so he had to abandon it. Let Wangcai take the charcoal strips from the kitchen, and then draw a detailed diagram of the internal structure of the hot pot, and mark the names and dimensions of each part one by one.

Li Ziyu saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she said goodbye to Wu Fan. She still needs to buy a lot of things today, and she has to rush home before making lunch.

Li Ziyu came out of the restaurant and looked at the restaurant opposite, and said to Wu Fan who sent her out, "Is that the one?" ”

Wu Fan also looked at the opposite side and said, "Yes, it's the Mingxuan Pavilion opposite." ”

There is a three-story building across the street, and it is more appropriate to say that this building is a restaurant than a garden. The decoration of the three floors is extremely simple, in black and white. In front of the building, green cedars and low spruce trees are planted, and the whole building is hidden in the trees, and the whole thing is very harmonious. The plaque on the second floor "Mingxuan Pavilion" has three big characters, and the gold characters on the black background shine brightly, which is eye-catching. The whole building is very distinctively decorated, which is unique in ancient times.

Now in front of Mingxuan Pavilion, there are already diners, and Xiao Er's crisp voice is shouting with joy, which is in stark contrast to the deserted Riri Red Restaurant.

Li Ziyu and Wu Fan glanced at each other, and they both felt pressure in their hearts. Li Ziyu smiled at Wu Fan: "Uncle shopkeeper, don't be discouraged, I guarantee that our restaurant will definitely be full of guests." I'll go first, and my uncle will make it as soon as possible, and we can open as soon as possible. ”

Wu Fan agreed again and again.

Li Ziyu said goodbye to Wu Fan and walked to the carriage, where was the coachman waiting. Li Ziyu thanked him, and then prepared to go shopping by himself, so he went to untie the bamboo basket on the car. But the coachman said to her, "Miss Li, just tell me where you need to go, and I'll take you there." ”

Li Ziyu hurriedly excused herself: "No, no, don't bother you, I'll do it myself." As he spoke, he went to untie the bamboo basket on the car.

The coachman pressed the bamboo basket and dragged the hemp rope without speaking, and Li Ziyu couldn't pull it with all his strength, only then did he know that he was gone, and the coachman actually knew kung fu.

Li Ziyu couldn't help it, so she had to get into the car. In the car, he instructed the driver to go to the grocery store in his hometown first.

In the grocery store in my hometown, Xiao Hei and the shopkeeper Fu were both there this time.

Li Ziyu entered the grocery store familiarly, and two women in the grocery store who were dressed simply and bought bamboo baskets, Xiao Hei was receiving them.

Seeing Li Ziyu coming in, the shopkeeper Fu hurriedly greeted him.

Shopkeeper Fu said to Li Ziyu with a smile: "Little girl, you are here, I have to thank you well, you helped me a lot last time." What to buy this time? I'll give you a cheaper price. ”

Li Ziyu also smiled and said, "Don't be polite, the shopkeeper, you have already given the money, let's clear the two." ”

Shopkeeper Fu looked at Li Ziyu seriously and said, "Little girl, you don't understand, how useful your recipe is for me." Okay, since you don't want to mention it, then I won't mention it. ”

Li Ziyu nodded and asked the shopkeeper Fu: "How do you sell soaphorns?" ”

The shopkeeper Fu said: "Fifty pieces of soapcorn, how many do you want?" ”

"So expensive?" Li Ziyu was taken aback, she remembered that soap in modern times is very cheap.

"Count you forty wen, little girl, this is still the cheapest." The shopkeeper Fu said and took a few pieces of soap.

Li Ziyu thought about it for a while, their sister and brother had not washed their hair or bathed since she came here. It's not that she doesn't want to wash, it's that it's too cold and the house is leaking, and she doesn't know what to wash. Washing underwear with plant ash can be washed with water several times, and it will be clean. She couldn't accept washing her hair and bathing with plant ash.

This time, I had to buy a few more yuan, and I could use it for bathing, washing clothes, and washing my hair, so Li Ziyu bought five soap corners. I heard that the composition of soap horn is not complicated, but unfortunately I have a superficial understanding of chemical industry, otherwise, it is not easy to make a soap.

Li Ziyu, who was wandering around the shop, suddenly found a toothbrush on the shelf, although the shape of the toothbrush was not as good as the modern one, it was enough to make her overjoyed. You must know that since I came here, I rinsed my mouth with water every day at the beginning, and I was reluctant to use salt. Later, rinse your mouth with salt and then use a cloth towel to clean it.
