Chapter 498: Young ladies who ride the wind and waves
As usual, after coming out of Danfeng Gate, Chao Fang beckoned a carriage home.
Although with the strength of the Chao family, it is not bad for a special carriage at all, but the Chao Fang has to go to the palace every day to be on duty, so that the coachman has been waiting outside the Danfeng Gate, which seems to be a bit high-profile.
So he usually takes his own carriage in the morning and hires one at random in the evening to take him home.
By the end of the winter, it had become colder, and he had not gone anywhere else.
During this time, the business of the Chao family's Renxintang was booming, and as the patriarch, he was also in a very happy mood.
Although the discovery of the beauty cream was an accident, this accident has brought tens of thousands of dollars to the Chao family.
This will continue to be credited for the foreseeable future.
Chao Fang felt that it was necessary to discuss with his cousin whether to open a branch library in Luoyang.
"Huh? Why doesn't it move? ”
Nest Fang, who was meditating in the carriage, suddenly noticed that the carriage seemed to have not moved for a while.
"This Lang Jun, there are many people queuing up in front of you and occupying the road. I guess I won't be able to get through for a while. ”
The coachman was also depressed.
Their work is not charged on time, and traffic jams are a loss for them.
Time is money, and this truth is fully reflected in their industry.
Chao Fang listened to the coachman's words, and lifted the curtain of the carriage a little confused.
In the past, there is never a traffic jam here, but I didn't expect to wait so long today.
What caught his eye was a long queue, and there was no longer a queue on the side of the street.
Many people don't want to go too far, so they go around and take up more than half of the street.
The rest of the people who watched the excitement took the other half.
All right!
The imperial capital is stuck in traffic again!
"Here, the car money, you go first!"
Chao Fang saw that the four big black and white characters of "Bread New Language" on the shop in front of the crowd were fluttering in the wind, and he could still smell the fragrance in his nose, so he immediately stopped sitting.
Although it would take a quarter of an hour to walk to get home, the nest got out of the car first.
Then he stumbled to the end of the line, where he followed the line.
Although he wasn't sure what this "bread new language" was selling, just asking about the scent made Chao Fang feel that tears of sadness began to flow from his mouth.
As the sun gradually sets, the howling of the cold wind sounds.
The nest had been waiting in line for almost a quarter of an hour, and it was finally his turn.
However, the closer you arrive, the stronger the fragrance in your nose becomes, and you are really hungry in your stomach.
Nest Fang suddenly had a feeling of hunger and cold.
He hadn't felt this way for a long time.
This is a new phrase for bread, who came up with it?
Looking at the things that the people were holding just now, it seemed that they had never seen them before.
When the nest party was queuing, he basically knew what this place was selling from some people in the crowd who had successfully bought food.
Butter bread?
First time I've heard of it!
Donut?
It's the first time I've heard of it!
Egg tarts?
I still haven't heard of it!
When did Chang'an City have so many things?
Chao Fang felt that he couldn't wait to taste the things that this bread Xinyu had to offer.
"A piece of butter bread, two doughnuts, four tarts!"
"I want two donuts."
"I don't need a food box, can it be cheaper?"
Listening to the voices of the previous customers and the girl in the bread new language, Chao Fang couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue.
"Two pieces of butter bread, four doughnuts, four tarts, I see there are a lot of seats in your hall, can I eat here?"
Chao Fang didn't care how much these things cost, so he quickly ordered some, and he could also take one back to the girl at home to taste.
"Yes, it's sixteen cents in total. If you need a food box, you'll need to add an extra two pennies. ”
The person in charge of collecting the money is a little lady.
In fact, in the whole bread new language, all are little ladies.
This surprised the nest party.
The status of women in the Tang Dynasty is higher than that of ordinary dynasties, but it has not reached this level.
The shopkeeper of this shop is really an unconventional character.
"Well, eighteen cents, help me put half of it in the food box, and I'll eat the rest in the hall."
After paying the money, Chao Fang couldn't wait to come to an empty table with a dinner plate, and then ignored Sven, directly picked up a doughnut and stuffed it into his mouth.
The delicious and crispy feeling made the nest party can't help but close his eyes.
The sugar on the surface of the doughnut melts quickly in your mouth, giving you a sweet taste.
When the nest side takes another bite of the fluffy bread, it almost makes people's hearts melt.
When he was queuing up just now, Chao Fang had tears in his mouth, and now he really can't help but shed tears in his eyes.
With this new bread language, my breakfast and snacks will be settled in the future.
I don't have to worry about what to do if I'm hungry when I'm on duty.
Just as Chao Fang was indulging in the delicious taste of doughnuts, Wu Guo and Zixia were also standing on the street watching the lively scene of bread Xinyu.
"Sister Zixia, this suggestion of His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really good, I originally thought that opening twelve branches in Chang'an City in one go, and the business would be affected, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous on the first day."
Wu Guo looked at the crowd coming in and out of the shop with excitement on his face.
As Wu Meiniang's younger sister, Wu Guo has been living in the Chu Wangfu for several years.
However, she has always kept a low profile.
Of course, this also has something to do with her embarrassing identity before.
However, since Li Kuan asked the chefs in the palace to make all kinds of desserts and breads, Wu Guo became obsessed with this type of food, and then soaked in the kitchen with a group of cooks as a whole.
Wu Meiniang saw that she really liked to make these breads and the like, and once joked directly that you might as well open a shop.
Unexpectedly, Wu Guo himself didn't take it seriously, but Li Kuan on the side thought it was good.
This butter bread and doughnut involves a large amount of butter consumption, which is related to the sales of the butter workshop in Liangzhou, and the use of milk on the grassland.
As for doughnuts, they need to consume a lot of sugar, which is very beneficial to the development of the sugar industry.
Besides, when Li Shimin cleaned up the Taiji Palace, Li Kuan helped place a lot of palace maids, and these people actually didn't have so many things to do in the Chu Palace.
Just took this opportunity to let Wu Guo and the others set up a bakery chain, which can not only enrich the food types of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also consume a lot of butter and sugar.
Even the eggs from the chicken farm don't have to worry about bad sales.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is known as the God of Wealth by many businessmen, and the plan he proposed will naturally not be bad. Wu Guo, you can rest assured now, right? ”
Zixia's status in the Chu Palace's Mansion is also quite embarrassing, although she is basically staying in the Guanshishan Academy now, she still appears in the Chu Palace's Mansion from time to time.
came and went, but he became familiar with Wu Guo, who was suffering from the same disease.
As Wu Guo, who has no social experience, she must have no confidence to start a bakery chain, so she pulled Zixia in.
came and went, and during this time, the son and Fang Yiyu, who had been messing around in the Chu Wang's Mansion all day, also said that they would follow this bread chain shop.
Finally, there is the current "new language of bread".
"That's just as well. Our bread new language, said that a few of us did it, but in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged for people to choose the address, decorate the shop, and mix materials, and he didn't want the structure of this shop, which made me feel embarrassed. ”
Under the tutelage of the Yang family, Wu Guo's tutoring has always been very strict.
I've always been a little embarrassed to take advantage of others.
Of course, in Li Kuan's opinion, what kind of side hustle do you want for your sister-in-law, sister and others?
No matter how big the bread new language is, that's it.
Unless it has to enter the grain industry in the future.
"If you say that, I should be the most embarrassed. His Royal Highness the King of Chu is your brother-in-law, not to mention Princess Jinyang and the third lady of the Fang family, they are all the same as the prince's sister, only I am the one who really comes in to take advantage. ”
"Sister Zixia, you must not say that. Among us, it's basically you who are busy with bread and new words these days, and when it comes to it, your credit is the greatest. ”
Wu Guo's words are true.
Zixia, as the former top brand of Tianxiang Pavilion, naturally has its own unique set of methods in terms of receiving people and things.
Now that she has come forward to engage in bread and new language, she happens to be a domineering female president, but it is going well.
Of course, with the big banner of the Chu Wangfu on the side, it can't go well if it doesn't go well.
"These 12 shops have solved the livelihood problem of more than 100 women, and if our bread Xinyu opens one in every shop in Chang'an City, it will solve the livelihood problem of thousands of women. I think His Royal Highness the King of Chu supports us to hire all women, and there should be some other intentions. After a while, I think we should think about continuing to expand. ”
Zixia obviously thought more than Wu Guo.
has lived in the Chu Palace, and she also has a deeper understanding of Li Kuan.
knows that his attitude towards women is different from many people in Datang.
Nowadays, the labor tension in various workshops in Datang is becoming more and more serious.
Especially in the past two years, many people have immigrated to Shannan Province and Jiangnan Province to plant rice, and this year a group of people have immigrated to Hedong Road to plant cotton, and the labor panic in Chang'an City is becoming more and more obvious.
If the women of Datang can be allowed to work like men, then the situation will definitely be completely different, right?
After all, although there are some women working in the workshop, the number is still too small.
"That's what my sister said, so it seems that you guys want to go together."
……
In the Tianxiang Pavilion, Xiao Qian happily came to Sisi.
"Girl, just now Yun'er sent a box of things, it is said that it is produced in the shop opened by Miss Zixia and others, you can taste it."
Women are naturally more fond of sweets than men.
is like a woman in a green building, not to mention when compared with each other.
When sugar was expensive before, I didn't see any drop in the purchase volume of girls in these places.
"Sister Zixia's bread Xinyu is really open?"
Sisi has been busy these days, and she doesn't have time to find Zixia.
It's useless to look for it, because Zixia is busier.
So today, she really doesn't know that Bread Xinyu is open.
"Yes, I heard Yun'er say that there are twelve bread Xinyu in the entire Chang'an City that have opened together, and there are long queues in good places, so that some shops can't bake butter bread. The more it can't be baked, the longer the queue will be, and the longer the queue, the more people will be attracted to queue. It is said that many carriages were blocked on the streets. ”
Xiao Qian obviously had a good gossip with Yun'er just now.
"That's great. Sister Zixia was originally a teacher of Guanshishan Academy, and now she has opened a new language of bread with the nobles, and this life is becoming more and more interesting. ”
When Sisi said this, the thought of redeeming himself couldn't help but rise in his heart.
It's just that what can be done if you redeem yourself?
Although the world is big, there are not many places to accommodate her.
……
"Auntie, our butter bread and doughnuts are completely famous, and many people like egg tarts."
In the night, in a courtyard of the annex of the Chu Palace, Wu Guo happily told the Yang family what he had seen and heard today.
Although she is a sister of the same father and mother as Wu Meiniang, Wu Guo's sense of existence is far worse than that of Wu Meiniang.
Now that I can perform in front of my mother, I am naturally very proud.
"Who in the world can compare to the food produced by the Chu Palace? In addition, this butter bread and doughnuts have not yet spread in Chang'an City, and they suddenly appeared all of a sudden today, which naturally caused a strong response. In my opinion, you can't always rely on the cooks of the Chu Palace, don't you like to bake these things?
Then you can come up with some new tricks. For example, can you add some dried fruits to this butter bread? Is it possible to add some honey? Is it possible to add some slices of meat? You can give it a try. ”
Although Yang is also happy in his heart, he sees the long-term.
"A-Niang, don't worry, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has suggested that we buy a larger piece of land as the general shop of bread Xinyu, and then arrange personnel in the backyard to conduct trial production of new products. Even these funds for buying land can be solved by Datang Royal Bank. ”
With Wu Meiniang here, Wu Guo and the Yang family will actually not be short of money to spend.
However, what others give is completely different from what you earn.
So all along, Wu Guo and Yang's lives have been relatively frugal.
Of course, Li Kuan naturally won't lose his sister-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has an arrangement, then you just do what he wants."
