Chapter 644: Qingfeng Bun Shop
Steamed buns are not steamed buns, and buns are not buns.
When Li Kuan first arrived in Datang, when he ate steamed buns for the first time, he found that there was actually a large ball of mutton filling inside, and he thought that Qing'er had mixed it up.
Later, I found out that Datang's steamed buns were like this.
After understanding the situation clearly, Li Kuan recalled that it seems that the black shop opened by Sun Erniang in "Water Margin" sells "human meat steamed buns", obviously this steamed bun is also stuffed, that is, it belongs to the "buns" that everyone understands in later generations.
As for "buns", Datang has not yet known what buns are.
Still, it doesn't matter.
In the palace of the king of Chu, Li Kuan said what is steamed bread, it is steamed bread, what is steamed bun, it is steamed bun.
Coupled with soy milk and fried dough sticks, the breakfast of the Chu Wangfu has now become the object of imitation by many noble families in Chang'an City.
Even if it is the eldest grandson's family, no matter how much he doesn't like Li Kuan, he doesn't mind improving his taste.
"Mei Niang, I think this early business will definitely be very marketable. You see, there are more and more workshops in Chang'an City now, and many craftsmen get up early and rush to work in the workshops, and they don't have time to make breakfast at all. In addition, there are many foreign scholars, merchants, and tourists in Chang'an City all year round, and these people basically don't make breakfast by themselves. As long as we open a chain of breakfast shops, and sell these delicious buns, steamed buns and other things in the palace to the breakfast shop, it will definitely be very marketable. ”
Gu Panpan had just been in the Chu Wangfu for a few days, and he couldn't be idle.
Especially when she ate fried dough sticks and soy milk, as well as the delicious tofu brain, she felt that she should do something.
This time, if she came to Chang'an City, it would definitely not be appropriate for her to stay in the Chu Palace's mansion for a long time with nothing to do.
If you can justifiably do something, it will be different.
"There is a market for the breakfast shop, I am naturally clear. But running a breakfast shop can be described as hard work, and you can't earn much money, so why bother to earn this money? ”
Wu Meiniang's vision is also higher now, and she looks down on the breakfast shop that Gu Panpan said.
"Mei Niang, if the breakfast shop is made into a chain, and each workshop has one, it will accumulate over time, and the money earned may not be less. Besides, does it matter whether you make more or less money for the Chu Palace? ”
Wu Meiniang: ???
Gu Panpan's words directly stunned Wu Meiniang.
Yes, how much money you make, is it important for the current Chu Wangfu?
Although it is definitely not possible to sit on the mountain and eat empty, no matter how profitable the breakfast shop is, the Chu Wangfu will definitely not be short of this money.
So Gu Panpan has been encouraging himself to go to the breakfast shop, why is it?
"In terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing, wool workshops and cotton cloth workshops, the workshops under the Chu Wangfu are all industry leaders and firmly occupy a leading position; In terms of accommodation, I heard that the inn has opened branches in Liangzhou and Luoyang, and is ready to continue to expand its business in Shuozhou, Jinyang, Yangzhou, Hangzhou and other places;
As for travel, the Mercedes-Benz carriages produced by the four-wheeled carriage workshop are now all over Chang'an City. However, in terms of 'food', although it cannot be said that it has done nothing at all, it is far from being as good as other aspects. The people take food as the sky, and the deeper the involvement of the Chu Wangfu in 'food', the deeper the influence on the people of the Tang Dynasty will be, Mei Niang, don't you think it is necessary for the Chu Wangfu to deepen its influence in this regard? ”
Seeing that Wu Meiniang, who has always been smart and clever, was stunned by her own words, Gu Panpan showed a smug smile on her face.
I have known Wu Meiniang for more than a year, and this is the first time I have seen her show such an expression in front of me.
"In that case, then I'll ask the prince and see what he suggests."
After thinking about it, Wu Meiniang basically agreed with Gu Panpan's point of view.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
As soon as Wu Meiniang's words were finished, Li Kuan came back from outside.
During this time, because the School of Chemistry had just been established, in order to let the School of Chemistry gain a firm foothold in Guanshishan Academy, Li Kuan was able to pull out the seedlings and give some suggestions.
"Lord, Panpan wants to set up a breakfast shop to sell steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks and tofu brain from our palace, what do you think?"
Wu Meiniang saw Li Kuan come back, and she smiled on her face.
"Breakfast shop?"
Li Kuan couldn't help but glance at Gu Panpan.
What do you say is brainless, could it be that because she looks the same before and after, her brain is easier to use?
If Chu Wangfu wants to enter the catering industry, the breakfast shop is a good entry point.
In the past, when he was engaged in a restaurant, Li Kuan was not very interested, but only symbolically participated in a little Ajinomote.
But the breakfast shop is different from a restaurant like Ajinomoto.
In Chang'an City, there may only be one Ajinomoto restaurant, but there can be dozens, or even hundreds, of breakfast shops of the same brand.
The more shops, the more people are employed in the Chu Palace, and the more people support the Chu Palace.
When more and more people in Chang'an City rely on the Chu Palace, whoever dares to be unfavorable to Li Kuan is estimated to have to be well measured.
Mass incidents are not new more than a thousand years later.
"Yes, it's a shop that specializes in breakfast. Of course, if business is good, these things can be sold from morning to night, and it should be okay. ”
"Miss Gu's proposal, I think it's not bad. Nowadays, the people's breakfast is either all kinds of steamed cakes or porridge water, and there is no taste. If our palace is taken out and sold early, there is no opponent at all. ”
The Gu family is also a big family in Jiangnan, and there are a lot of people who can be deployed.
Now that Gu Panpan has proposed to set up a breakfast shop, it is obvious that he wants to do it with the Chu Palace, and Li Kuan has no reason to oppose it.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, do you support my suggestion?"
Gu Panpan showed a rare smile to Li Kuan.
I couldn't help but slander in my heart: This guy is quite a bit of a vision.
"Yes, of course. I've even named you the breakfast shop. ”
Li Kuan quickly took stock in his mind, what are the good names that specialize in buns and dim sum.
Although "Goubuli" is very famous, the name is also too cheesy, which is obviously not appropriate.
"Shaxian snacks" spread all over the country in later generations, but the name has a strong regional attribute, which is obviously inappropriate.
Yes, Qingfeng Bun Shop, this is what Li Kuan once admired and tasted in person, and the taste is really good.
Although it is the most classic snack of fried liver, Li Kuan is really not used to eating it.
But there's no denying that its buns are still delicious.
"Huh? Have you all got a name? ”
Gu Panpan looked at Li Kuan in surprise.
"That's right, it's called Qingfeng Bun Shop, which focuses on buns with various fillings, and also makes fried dough sticks, soy milk and tofu brain. What do you guys think? ”
"Qingfeng, celebrating the harvest? I think it's a good name for the prince. Panpan, why don't we call this breakfast shop Qingfeng Bun Shop? In order to make a name for ourselves, we don't open one by one, but directly open one in every square in Chang'an City. Anyway, with the operation experience of Bread Xinyu, it should not be difficult to manage Qingfeng Bun Shop. ”
Li Kuan supports it, and Wu Meiniang must also support it.
As for Gu Panpan, her opinion is recognized, and naturally she will not object.
In this way, another time-honored brand in the future was born!
