Chapter 177: High-end route

"It's been a long time since the Song clan stepped foot on us, and I thought you would never come again."

Chen Shen said slowly, there seemed to be a hint of contempt in his tone.

Yunzhu said secretly, you think I want to come here. If it weren't for the old master's house, she wouldn't be happy to come, Rao thought so, but Yunzhu said with a decent smile: "Master is invited, no matter what, I will come." ”

Chen Shen glanced at Master Zhang and did not speak.

Chef Zhang smiled and said, "So what novel recipe did the Song family think of?" ”

Yunzhu said: "I thought about four recipes casually, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before people will follow suit." I went to their restaurant and saw that the dishes of the two restaurants were similar. Their taste is not even as good as Master's craftsmanship. There is a reason why people are so popular. ”

Chen Shen raised his eyes and looked at Yunzhu, thinking that she had done her homework to come, and she was not blindly selling her own recipes, which attracted his idea.

"I don't know what the Song family has to say?"

Yun Zhu said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, it's just some shallow knowledge." People have a lot of tricks, new ideas, and are naturally attractive. If you want to improve here, you still have to start with management. ”

Chen Shen sneered: "Do you know what the background of the people is?" ”

Yunzhu shook her head, she really didn't know about this.

Master Zhang hurriedly said: "I heard that the big shopkeeper behind the family is a horse master. ”

Yun Zhu was stunned: "No wonder you have a lot of money, it turns out that you have such a background." ”

"So, I don't give money to what we compare to others."

I don't have that financial resources. You can only rely on the dishes to attract people, or if you don't change the business model, maybe it will be successful. Yun Zhu took out the prescription she had written from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Shen.

Chen Shen frowned when he looked at the handwriting on it. I saw that it was written "sausage, lotus mushroom crispy duck, boiling water cabbage, Buddha jumping over the wall". The first two are not new to him, and they are not new. But what the hell are the last two? Chen Shen was full of doubts and asked, "What is the boiling water cabbage, and someone will order it?" And what is this Buddha jumping over the wall? ”

Yunzhu explained unhurriedly: "This boiling water is not the other boiling water, the essence lies in the broth." ”

Master Zhang is an insider, so he naturally understood as soon as he heard it, and it turned out to be hung out of broth.

"I've eaten Buddha jumping over the wall, but I can't do it, but I can write down the side dishes inside."

Master Zhang said: "When the time comes, the two of us can join forces to try it." ”

"Nacheng, I want all four dishes. You are responsible for explaining to Master Zhang. I'll try it. ”

Yunzhu agreed, this is the rule of every transaction. If it doesn't suit the taste, Chen Shen won't adopt it. She still has faith in these four dishes.

The next thing is the time to prepare the dishes, but the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall is very labor-intensive, it takes three days and three nights, and it can't be served for a while.

The master and apprentice spent a whole morning, and finally made the lotus mushroom crispy duck, and the soup of the boiling water cabbage was still hanging over and over again, and the sausages were gone this season. The ducks got on first.

Chen Shen still maintains a whole duck in shape. The style is good, and the smell is good. He picked up a piece of chopsticks and tasted it slowly. Then he ate another piece, nodded and said, "It's okay." Crispy and fragrant. ”

Master Zhang said: "The Song family has basically taught me the method, and the difficulty is not too great. ”

Chen Shen nodded, thinking that the dish could be kept.

Wait until the boiling water cabbage is served. Chen Shen was dumbfounded, in the soup of Huang Liang. There is only one yellow cabbage heart lying in it intact, which looks good. It's just that this can attract people's eyes, and some people will go to the restaurant to eat this. Can't you do it at home?

He picked up his chopsticks in disbelief, and he had already made a veto in his heart. He reluctantly stretched out his chopsticks to tear off a vegetable leaf, but when he touched it lightly, he realized that this cabbage sum was spelled out like the duck, which was somewhat interesting. When he tasted it with the intention of giving it a try, the expression on his face changed, and then he scooped a spoonful of soup with a spoon until he had finished the whole dish, and he was still a little unsatisfied.

"Is this a complicated recipe?"

Master Zhang explained with a smile: "It's not particularly complicated, but it takes effort and heat." Don't be such a simple dish, you can use fat chicken, fat duck, big bones, and hanging out of the soup over and over again. ”

Chen Shen said: "In this case, you can report the price higher." He looked at Yunzhu with a little respect in his eyes at this time, and secretly thought that if Yunzhu opened a restaurant one day, it would definitely be a huge threat to him, even greater than the threat of drunken gathering.

It seems that Chen Shen has nothing to say, and Yunzhu also breathed a sigh of relief, about the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall, she has already told Master Zhang the general idea, and how to make a dish has to rely on Master Zhang to study and explore by himself.

"You can make an offer." Chen Shen was very satisfied.

Yun Zhu had already thought of the right words, and said with a smile: "The price is still set by you, but I have one condition." ”

"Yo, what's the condition?"

Yunzhu said: "I am raising ducks at home now, can I sell them directly here in the future to do exclusive sales, and I will spend my time feeding the ducks." Guaranteed to be better than the meat on the outside. ”

Chen Shen said secretly: He does have a brain, no wonder he would write a seemingly ordinary lotus mushroom crispy duck out, it turned out to be waiting for him here. However, Chen Shen didn't bother with her, buying Yunzhu's ducks is to buy, and buying other people's ducks is also buying, acquaintances should always rest assured. Yunzhu gave him another guarantee, and he could naturally take it as a promise, and nodded and said, "Cheng, no problem." ”

For four dishes, Chen Shen offered a price of ten taels per dish and bought out the recipe.

Yunzhu is still very satisfied with this price, the key is that her ducks have found a market.

Master Zhang thought to himself, but thought, this Chen Shen still knows how to calculate. Even if you give a hundred taels of silver, it is not too much. He can foresee how much income these four dishes will bring to the restaurant after they are launched, far more than these forty taels.

Yunzhu went home with the two silver tickets of twenty taels that Chen Shen gave him and paid at sight.

Ping An Ke had been worried about her for most of the day, and when Yunzhu came back, it was already full of colorful clouds.

"How? Is it still smooth to talk? ”

Yunzhu took out the silver ticket and showed it to Ping'an.

Ping An took it and carefully read the words on it. Seeing that the back was already stunned: "You are really good, you have made so much money in such a long time." It's comparable to our family's income for a year. ”

Yunzhu smiled: "It's nothing. Chen Shen will earn more than ten times more than this in the future. ”

"Really?"

"What did I lie to you. I hope Ruyi can start from these four dishes and make a turnaround. ”

Although Yunzhu has a grudge with Ruyi. But if Ruyi can make money, she can also reap the benefits.

"What kind of dishes are you selling, why don't you make them for us another day?"

Yun Zhu shook his head and said, "The duck may be able to, but the boiling water cabbage is still forgotten." It's okay to pretend to be forced, it's really nothing to eat, Buddha jumps over the wall, and those dishes alone are too expensive to eat. Steamed sausages you've eaten. ”

"Oh." Ping An thought for a while and asked, "Where did you eat these dishes?" How can there be so many novel ideas that even Master Zhang admires? ”

"Uh...... This ......" Yunzhu was a little difficult to speak, she really couldn't tell the origin of these state banquet-level dishes in later generations, so she had to be sloppy with peace: "I saw a book recorded it before." ”

"No wonder. It would be nice to sell a few more recipes. ”

Yunzhu explained with a smile: "There must also be a demand from others." I can still come up with something new and appealing. It's not that easy. ”

"That's right. With this money, if you make up some more, you can pay back what you owe to the brother-in-law of the Wang family. ”

"yes. When you enter the city again, you can bring it with you. People also have to turn around when they do business. ”

When Mrs. Feng heard that Yunzhu had made a lot of money with the recipe, she was still a little unconvinced: "Are people really willing to pay such a high price to buy a few dishes?" Will this business be a loss? ”

Yunzhu said: "Shopkeeper Chen is such a shrewd person, if you buy it at this price, you will definitely only make money and not lose money." ”

Feng Lao Niang still didn't understand that a few dishes could be worth so much money, and listening to Yun Zhu's tone, Chen Shen would make a lot of money. No wonder Yunzhu is bent on opening his own restaurant, it turns out that it is all on it.

Half a month later. Ruyi Restaurant also held a notice of new dishes on the market, and specially invited a group of people to taste it for free, which was very loud, of course, it was the majority who watched the excitement.

Yunzhu still admired her master incomparably. She provided only a brief name for the dish, a list of the main ingredients needed, and a general style and taste. Unexpectedly, her master really made the Buddha jump over the wall.

After listening to those dishes, everyone was very satisfied, and praised the boiling water cabbage for its seemingly plain but incomparably delicious taste. Chen Shen's face smiled like a chrysanthemum. He set the price. It is said that the boiled cabbage was sold for seven pieces of silver, and the Buddha jumped over the wall and sold for one or two pieces of silver. Sure enough, they all took the high-end route. Ordinary people can only sigh with admiration.

Don't look at the high prices. Not to mention the fact that there are really points, the boiling water cabbage can be sold the next day. After some people eat, they talk to their families, and their families try to make it, but they find that no matter how hard they try, there is a gap between them and Ruyi Restaurant. Even the grandfather who returned to his hometown loved to eat very much, and let the cook at home grope for it.

When the cook brought what he thought was the boiling water cabbage to Master Sun, Master Sun only looked at the appearance and smashed the dish and the soup on the cook.

Buddha jumping over the wall because the price set is too high, not many people order it, but it can be sold every ten days, and once you eat it, you will definitely become a repeat customer.

Only then did Chen Shen realize that Song Yunzhu was really capable of this woman. He had to look at Yunzhu with admiration, and at the same time, he was glad that he had found such a talent, instead of letting Zui Haoju take the lead.

Chef Zhang invited Yunzhu to taste the dishes in the restaurant. Yunzhu was obligated to go happily.

What Master Zhang served was the three dishes provided by Yunzhu.

It is worthy of the craftsmanship that once served the prince, the taste, knife work, and shape are impeccable.

"What do you think?" Master Zhang's attitude was humble, and he didn't put on the master's stand at all, and humbly asked Yunzhu for advice.

Yunzhu replied respectfully: "It's not bad." This Buddha jumping over the wall tastes roughly the same as I've ever tasted. In the end, Master is powerful, I just said that, and you made it. ”

Master Zhang smiled proudly: "I have been in this business for more than 30 years, and I have been an apprentice with others since I was eleven years old, learning to cut green onions. It took me two years to cut the green onions, and my master was willing to teach me the craft. Later, when Master entered the Imperial Dining Room, he took me in and followed me to see it. It's just that I didn't stay in the imperial dining room for a few years, because some things in the court were implicated, the master lost the position of chief administrator, and I was kicked out. The prince loves to eat and drink, and he can eat, his mouth is picky, his temperament is a little eccentric, and he is not so easy to serve. But I have been doing it for nearly twenty-five years. Until the old prince is gone. ”

This is the first time that Master Zhang took the initiative to mention those things to Yunzhu back then, and now he recalls it with a sense of pride, these are the capital he has accumulated.

"Master has a lot of experience, and he really has a story."

Master Zhang smiled slightly, and the clouds were light and light. He glanced at Yunzhu and nodded, "You have a lot of potential, but it's a pity that you don't want to follow me to continue learning to cook, over time, you will definitely have a great achievement." ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly said: "I worshipped you as a teacher, so I am naturally willing to learn from you, but I ......" Yun Zhu looked embarrassed.

Master Zhang understood in his heart and said with a smile: "I'm not embarrassed. What are your plans for the future, it's a pity that such a good craft is buried. ”

Yunzhu told the truth: "Actually, I have always wanted to set up a small shop and open a small restaurant by myself." Ruyi and drunk people don't dare to think about it, and it's okay to take the affordable route that ordinary people can afford. It's just that I've been suffering from no capital. Yun Zhu's face showed a slight color.

Master Zhang smiled: "It's good to have this idea. Maybe I can help you. ”

When Yunzhu heard this, she hurriedly looked up at Master Zhang, her eyes shining with excitement: "Really? ”

Master Zhang nodded and smiled: "It's not a difficult thing, I'll help you take a look." ”

Yunzhu thanked again and again.

Master Zhang said: "It's a pity that such a good seedling as you has been buried, and your outstanding skills must be known by more people." I can help you pay attention to the affairs of the small shop, and if there is a suitable one, I will find someone to bring you a message. ”

"Well, thank you, Master."

"This is what I should do, in fact, Shopkeeper Chen asked me to persuade you to come back. I said that you are now a family, and it is not very convenient. Shopkeeper Chen also felt a pity. ”

Yunzhu smiled: "It's the same, I can't be busy with things at home, let's talk about it when it's all stable in the future." ”

Master Zhang smiled with satisfaction.

Yunzhu is very grateful to Master Zhang, Master Zhang's kindness to her, she always feels that there is no place to reciprocate, she said to Master Zhang: "Master, I have been guarding the kitchen knife you gave me, and I am reluctant to take it out and use it." I took it out two days ago and looked at it, and it didn't rust at all. ”

Master Zhang said: "That knife was shot by a superb master in Beijing, and it is said that there is a mystery in it." ”

"Then I should keep it safe." (To be continued......)
