Chapter 126: Business Acumen
Yan Yan couldn't wait to do it when he returned to the restaurant, because the shopkeeper saw that Yan Yan didn't cook on a whim, so he built a temporary stove for her outside the kitchen, so that it would not affect the normal operation of the restaurant, of course, this matter was approved by Bai Hao. Bai Hao didn't know that Yan Yan was coming, he always thought that Yan Shaojie and the two men were coming, although he was surprised that the "man" cooked, but he still agreed, because he felt that Yan Shaojie could cook, maybe he couldn't get used to the food here and made it himself.
Bai Hao was very busy and didn't have time to come over, so he didn't see Yan Yan. However, let the shopkeeper take good care of Yan Shaojie and the three of them, although he was surprised that there were three people, but he didn't ask much, because there must be a reason.
Yan Yan bought the crab, it was very big, Yan Yan asked Xu Yan to tie the crab and wash it, because Yan Yan was afraid of being trapped, so he instructed Xu Yan to do things, Yan Yan felt that the steamed crab was the most delicious, and it tasted original; Next is the sixtieth nail, of course, it is better to fry the sixtieth nail, put ginger and shallots, perilla, minced garlic, chili, and add salt, cooking wine, cornstarch, and dark soy sauce after stir-frying, until the juice becomes thick and can be put on the pot; Yan Yan planned to make flavored shrimp, so he asked Xu Yan to help wash it, remove the head, stir-fry the lobster until fragrant, add cooking wine, add chili, pepper, star anise, ginger, garlic, and add sesame oil and coriander after the juice is collected.
Because Yan Yan was doing it outside the kitchen, the fragrance was wafting everywhere, and the people in the kitchen all came out to take a look, and when they saw the dishes in the pot, their saliva was about to flow out. The shopkeeper also smelled the fragrance, glared at the lazy person, and everyone quickly dispersed. Originally, the shopkeeper was very busy. However, many guests in front of him asked what kind of food he was cooking so fragrant, so he had to come over to take a look. 、
"Childe's cooking is really fragrant," the shopkeeper said from the bottom of his heart. The first few times I cooked the rice was also fragrant, but this time the taste was stronger, which really made the mouth water.
"Shopkeeper, am I bothering you?" Yan Yan only cared about his appetite, forgetting that this was in a restaurant, someone must have asked, otherwise the shopkeeper would not have come.
"It's not in the way, but I didn't expect Childe's cooking skills to be so good." Originally, the shopkeeper looked down on such a scholar, thinking that he couldn't toss anything, maybe he couldn't afford to eat the food in the restaurant. Coupled with the young master's instructions, he was also treated politely. But in the past few days, Yan Yan's cooking skills have really opened his eyes, and he has to admire, it seems that people are not used to eating food in restaurants.
"The shopkeeper is polite. I'm good here. Immediately went upstairs, "Yan Yan made the last green vegetable, let Xu Yan carry the dishes back to the room with a tray, Yan Yan also went upstairs after the meal, the shopkeeper was not good to ask again, and hurried to the front to explain and comfort the guests."
Yan Shaojie's appetite also increased when he saw such a sumptuous meal, everyone was gobbling it up, and Xu Yan was very greedy when he was next to him. So everyone quickly finished this seafood feast. After letting the shopkeeper clean up, Yan Shaojie continued to read the book. Xu Yan and Yan Yan returned to the room.
"What are you doing?" Yan Yan saw Xu Yan follow him into the room, and asked very strangely.
"I have something to ask you," Xu Yan closed the door, and the two of them felt very natural when they got along these days, just like family.
"Say it," Yan Yan sat down, and Xu Yan also came over and sat down.
"Why don't you tell the shopkeeper how to make a fortune?" Xu Yan felt very strange just now, so he couldn't help but ask Yan Yan.
"That's because I want to do it myself," That's right, when Yan Yan was walking in Suzhou in the past few days, he found that a large part of Suzhou's prosperity is due to its proximity to Kyoto, as well as the natural scenery of Suzhou and the convenience of the wharf. The wharf in Shahe Town is also an advantage, and the environment can be improved, and the focus is on how to attract merchants.
"Do it yourself? Do you want to open a restaurant? Xu Yan was very surprised by Yan Yan's thoughts.
"Yes and no," Yan Yan knew that this idea could not be done in a while, in addition to money, it also needed people. "By the way, I never asked you, what the hell are you going to do?"
"Me? Why do you ask this? Xu Yan was still hesitant, about whether to tell Yan Yan about himself.
"I need your help," Yan Yan looked at Xu Yan's eyes and said sincerely, this was Yan Yan's sincere words, Xu Yan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"I used to be in business," Xu Yan was moved by Yan Yan's sincerity, and couldn't help blurting out his own things.
"You can see it, or is it mainly by water?" Yan Yan was not surprised, but Xu Yan was surprised, why could Yan Yan pretend not to know when he saw it? Xu Yan was a little embarrassed at this time, he thought that others had already seen what he was hiding, and he wondered how Yan Yan could have such a ability.
"Yes," Xu Yan admitted.
"Then you should still have experience with these merchants, right? Let's listen to it, "Yan Yan knows that no matter how he is, he is only talking on paper, but Xu Yan is really talented and practical, and he is full of experience.
"The merchants here in Suzhou are all brought in from Kyoto and some places around the area to ship their products and goods at the wharf, because the cargo ships here are basically large cargo ships that go to the south and the South Seas," Xu Yan said.
"If Shahe Town can unload passenger ships from Nanyang and Nanyang, then there will be more small cargo ships to transport goods, and large passenger ships can still go to Suzhou to unload cargo, but Shahe Town can do small passenger ship business," Yan Yan said after thinking about it.
Xu Yan looked at Yan Yan in shock, she didn't expect that one of her daughters' family could think of such a good idea, if it was a man, he would probably be a good businessman, "This idea is very good!" It's just that it's hard to do, "first of all, it's about money."
"Of course, it's hard to get started! It's not enough to have an idea, we still have to plan in detail, this thing can't be rushed, is there anything that can't be done if you want to? Yan Yan is still quite optimistic about things, because it is much easier to do things here than in the world in his previous life.
"I know," Xu Yan saw that Yan Yan was so confident, and he looked at things a lot more optimistically. Next, Xu Yan and Yan Yan continued to inspect the business situation in Suzhou, and Yan Shaojie was going to take the exam, but looking at his relaxed and confident face, Yan Yan was not worried, even if he failed the exam, this trip to Suzhou still gained a lot.
Yan Shaojie has to take the exam for three days, Yan Yan is not worried, and Xu Yan continues to go shopping, of course, it is not the kind of shopping, mainly to go to the dock to see, every time Yan Yan will buy back seafood, so that the people in the restaurant only drool, and the shopkeeper is not easy to say.
Yan Yan was very excited to see the live octopus, her favorite food was octopus squid, so Yan Yan made a spicy fried squid, and she was satisfied. Because the seafood here is cheap, Yan Yan dares to eat seafood dinner every day, otherwise Yan Yan would not spend money so boldly; There is also his own restaurant arranged by Bai Hao, Yan Yan must be able to save money, and the shopkeeper is also very careful. (To be continued......)
