Chapter 59: Yangjiazhai has been hollowed out
In this era, the dishes were still mainly steamed, and only in the Jiangnan area, where the economy of Zhao was the most developed, did stir-fry begin to emerge.
In Jinyang City, a border city in the north of Zhao State, there is no restaurant with stir-fried food as a signboard.
Yangjia Restaurant is the absolute first.
Of course, stir-fry was taught by Yang Xu to the restaurant cooks, and those talented cooks, after Yang Xu's careful guidance, have already become blue.
However, as a foodie, Yang Xu, who has eaten almost all the country in another world, has hundreds of famous dishes in his head, although there are many dishes he has never made himself, but he has eaten them, as long as he ponders and ponders them, he can make almost one.
That's not counting the many flavorful snacks in various places.
With these alone, Yangjia Restaurant can always innovate and always be one step ahead of other restaurants and lead the trend of the world's food and beverage industry.
The stir-fried dishes of Yangjia Restaurant are unique, the color and flavor are good, the restaurant is up and down, and the attitude towards guests is better than that of other restaurants, coupled with those brain teasers, couplet riddles and other interesting and attractive things for readers, word of mouth quickly spread.
In just a few days, the entire Jinyang City, regardless of men, women and children, knew the name of the Yang Family Restaurant.
And being able to have a meal on the second and third floors of the restaurant has also become the hope of many people in Jinyang City, and even the capital to show off.
In particular, the third floor with VIP boxes is most sought after and welcomed by literati and dignitaries in Jinyang City.
No matter in any era or place, there is a privileged class, and the same is true of Jinyang City in Zhao State.
Therefore, on the third floor of the Yang Family Restaurant, there are always two or three VIP boxes reserved for entertaining Yang Xu, who they don't want to provoke, or who can't afford to provoke at the moment, and can also take the opportunity to expand the restaurant's connections.
Jinyang City, as the capital of Ningwu Mansion, is also one of the border towns of Zhao State, and the general army in charge of the military and the prefect in charge of civil affairs are all in the city.
Although the Yangjia Restaurant is "covered" by Zhou Chengde, the inspector, Zhou Chengde is far from covering the sky with one hand, such as the chief soldier and the prefect, who are all his superiors.
Therefore, only when you climb to the top military and political manager of Jinyang City, such as the general soldier or the prefect, and the Yang Family Restaurant, can you be regarded as truly worry-free.
It's just that a small restaurant is not looked at by the magnates of that level at all.
Even a well-known "courtesan" like Yan Feixue has difficulty getting in touch with the circle of the top magnates.
However, Yang Xu is not too worried, after all, high-ranking officials such as the chief soldier or the prefect are busy with official business every day, and they don't bother to embarrass a restaurant, so for the time being, Zhou Chengde is covered, and the restaurant is worry-free.
According to Yan Feixue's idea, the business of Yangjia Restaurant is so prosperous, it can be copied to other cities, open more branches, and make more money.
Yang Xing and Yang Xu both thought that it was not the time and refused.
In Jinyang City, they have Zhou Chengde to cover, which makes some jealous people jealous and discouraged, but in other cities, they live two lives, once they open a restaurant, someone makes trouble, it is a headache, maybe the early investment will be wasted.
Therefore, the matter of opening a branch should not be overdone, and it must be considered in the long run.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and after the restaurant closed one day, Yang Xu convened the shareholders and employees of the restaurant and held a small meeting.
At this meeting, Yang Xu summarized some previous shortcomings, put forward suggestions for improvement, and described a beautiful vision for the future, which made everyone's hearts yearn for it and their blood boiled.
After the meeting, Yang Xu, on behalf of the three shareholders, paid monthly salaries to the restaurant employees, from Yang Xing, who was the shopkeeper, to the dishwasher, all received a different amount of silver.
Yang Xu also asked everyone to vote, selected several outstanding employees, and gave certain material rewards, and encouraged everyone to work hard, and will do so every month in the future.
There is a good salary every month, and there are rewards to be expected, so everyone is more motivated to work.
As for the three shareholders of Yan Feixue, Yang Xu and Yang Xing, who represents Yangjiazhai, they will pay dividends once in the first quarter, so they are not in a hurry.
In their opinion, as long as the restaurant is there, it is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and after a quarter has passed, just wait for the money.
With the increasing prosperity of the business and the takeaway ordering business that Yang Xu has been brewing for a long time and is preparing to launch, the manpower gap of Yangjia Restaurant is getting bigger and bigger.
So Yang Xu took the time to go back to Yangjia Village, mobilized the men and women in the village from 14 to 40, and asked them to help in the restaurant in the city.
Even those villagers who have a certain talent in carving and weaving and are ready to earn a little money by relying on this craft were moved by Yang Xu's words and joined his catering army instead.
As for Yang Hongyu, she is the lord of a dignified village, and she is a cold fairy-like figure, how can she let go of her body and work?
So Yang Xu decided to continue to offer her.
In fact, in Yang Xu's imagination, Yang Hongyu came to the restaurant and could do a lot of things.
For example, when the restaurant is full of customers, she can do a sword dance in public.
With her goddess-like face, enchanting and graceful posture, and cold and fairy-like temperament, a sword dance is guaranteed to cause a sensational effect, and maybe the name can overshadow Yan Feixue, the most famous Oiran in Jinyang City.
Of course, Yang Xu only dared to think about it like this, he felt that if he dared to mention this matter in front of Yang Hongyu, he would have to be beaten into a pig's head by her.
Yang Hongyu saw that the villagers of the entire village, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, had something to do, but she was eating and drinking for nothing, and what she needed was the best, Rao was cold and indifferent, and she also felt a little embarrassed.
She was delicate, and found that Yang Xu looked at her again and again, looking like she wanted to say something, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you need me to do anything?" ”
"Ah......h
Yang Xu wanted to say what he really thought in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, he became, "You are the owner of the village, how can there be any reason for you to do things yourself?" If you are bored, you can practice swords in the stockade, or you can visit the restaurants in the city! Oh yes, I've always wanted to learn martial arts and self-defense, when do you think you have time to teach me? ”
Yang Hongyu Bingxue was smart and knew that Yang Xuyan was insincere, but it was not good to continue to ask, so it was so unreasonable.
As for Yang Xu's desire to learn martial arts, Yang Hongyu also agreed, saying that she would come to the city every few days and guide Yang Xu in the small courtyard behind the restaurant.
However, she also bluntly said to Yang Xu that Yang Xu's muscles and bones have grown, and it is impossible to achieve great success in martial arts.
Yang Xu didn't care about this, the main purpose of his and Yang Hongyu's practice was just to strengthen his body, but he didn't want to become a peerless master.
Yang Xu came back and took away almost all the villagers between the ages of 14 and 40 in Yangjiazhai, and the originally lively village was deserted.
There are two people in the village, the owner and the grandfather, and there will be no safety problems, and the villagers who enter the city are very relieved.
As for the children's studies in Yangjiazhai, Yang Xu did not leave it behind.
He compiled a few simple textbooks himself, had dozens of copies printed and distributed to the children in the city, and then returned to the village every seven days to teach the children, and when he left, he would assign some homework for the children to complete on time.
However, Yang Xu is a casual person, and now he has a restaurant to do, so it is impossible to teach him like this all the time.
But if you want him to completely ignore the schoolwork of those children, he can't do it.
Yang Xu didn't think he had the ability to bring out any champion jinshi, so he planned to wait for the villagers to have money in hand, so according to their wishes, let the children enter the private school or academy in Jinyang City to continue their studies.
As for how far the children can go in the future, it depends on their own creation.
Yang Xu led them to get started and taught them the basic principles of dealing with people, even if it was a success.
