Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 35 Jiangning Restaurant Advance Alliance?
It has been three or four days since the opening, but the business of the drunken fairy building has never cooled down, the front of the building has been busy, the flow of people is like weaving, but it is really worthy of the eight words "smell the fragrance and get off the horse, know the smell of parking".
Since that day, Cao Yi asked Red Sleeves to increase the supply of pastries in the Zuixian Building, and as a result, the next day the Zuixian Mansion began to sell pastries to the outside world, although it may not be as exquisite and delicious as that of Kaifeng Mansion in the capital, but at least it is top-notch in Jiangning City. Red Sleeves spent a lot of money overnight to buy three of the best pastry shops in the city, and then asked the pastry master to come directly to the Zuixian Mansion and set aside a place to display and sell pastries.
The number of samples is also rich, and there are quite a lot to choose from, including water rice, ice and snow cold yuanzi, crystal soap, raw pickled water papaya, medicinal papaya, chicken head sand sugar, mung bean licorice ice and snow cold water, lychee paste, apricot slices, plum ginger, fragrant candy seeds, intermittent sugar lychee, Yue plum, knife perilla paste, golden silk party plum, fragrant yuan, dripping crispy abalone snail 17 kinds.
Among them, the five desserts of ice and snow cold yuanzi, raw pickled water papaya, medicinal papaya, lychee paste, and dripping crispy abalone snail are the most popular. "Ice and Snow Cold Yuanzi" is actually the chilled rice balls of later generations. Cook the glutinous rice balls without filling, pass them with water, add ice cubes to the town, eat ice teeth, drink refreshingly, and are deeply loved by the people of Jiangning.
"Raw pickled papaya" and "medicinal papaya" are to cut off the lid of the papaya, remove the pulp, fill the honey, cover it tightly, soak it overnight, pour out the honey, at this time the papaya is pickled by the honey thoroughly, cut into small pieces, and eat it with a toothpick, which is called "raw pickled papaya"; As for the "medicinal papaya", it is to cut the papaya into pieces, mix it with agarwood, sandalwood, cardamom, shrunken sand, ginger powder, and brown sugar, marinate it thoroughly, and eat it with its own clear wood fragrance.
"Lychee paste" is made of black plum, musk, ginger, honey, cinnamon, add water to boil slowly, remove slag, add water and boil again, boiled into a viscous gelatinous substance. Scoop a spoonful of this gelatinous substance, mix well with warm water, and serve. The name is "lychee paste", but there is actually no lychee, but it has a lychee flavor, which is very similar to the milk tea of later generations, and it is also very popular with people.
Dipu is actually a fancy pastry made with cream, and cattle are raised in the latter villages on the outskirts of the city, which can separate cheese and cream from milk. The cream is mixed with honey and cane sugar, and after curdling, it is squeezed onto a plate, and the pastries are ready one by one. The bottom is round, the top is pointed, and the threads are circled and circled, which is the most common dripping snail, commonly known as "ghee abalone snail", also known as "dripping crisp abalone snail", because the oysters in the Great Yan Dynasty are called abalone, so they call those cream pastries that are shaped like oysters or snails as dripping crispy abalone snails.
These five kinds of pastries are the best-selling, from the elderly to the yellow-mouthed children, regardless of men, women and children. Mo said that when you go to the store to eat, you must order a few things, that is, you have to buy a little more after the meal, put it in the red plum gate and take it back to eat.
Even Red Sleeves didn't expect that an ordinary method just to get according to Childe's instructions would have such a good effect. However, these three pastry shops originally belonged to the top two shops in Jiangning City, but because of the single type, each family only had four or five kinds of pastries, and the shops were not in the bustling area, and they were scattered and relatively open, so from the perspective of a single family, the business was not necessarily very good, so they were willing to sell the shops to Zuixianlou. But what is unexpected is that the three pastry chefs and all the pastries are put together in Zuixian Building, but they have such a good market effect, and the original wine and food in Zuixian Lou have formed a win-win situation of "fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire".
Although the fee for handling the VIP card is decreasing day by day, thousands of taels per day, but the business turnover has always maintained a high amount, and there is a momentum of increasing upwards. Since the addition of the pastry business, the daily turnover of Zuixian Lou has reached 8,000 taels to 10,000 taels, which is almost the same as the daily income doujin that Shen Yan boasted to Cao Yi before. It is open until midnight every day, and it is necessary to persuade the guests to tell them that it is about to close before closing.
This hot situation also made Red Sleeves urgently purchase dozens of manpower from Ya Po, and is letting Musk Yue and Raiders conduct training, and when the training is in place, they can go to work at any time, and the Drunken Immortal Building will be divided into two shifts according to the hour, if you rely on the original number of people alone, those waiters will definitely affect the quality of service because of their physical and mental state.
Based on Red Sleeves' judgment of his son-in-law, this will never be allowed, so he took it upon himself to purchase manpower in advance and start emergency training, so that they can come up at any time. Of course, he still had to inform his son-in-law afterwards, and he was also appreciated by Cao Yi, praising that he had become more and more capable of standing alone and decisive. This also strengthened Cao Yi's idea of withdrawing from Taibai Villa to participate in training.
The days of the drunken immortal building here are getting better and better, the whole Jiangning City, as long as the restaurant is mentioned, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the drunken immortal building, and the days of other restaurants are a little miserable, and at the end of the day, few customers come to the door. But this is also human nature, since you have chosen to go to the restaurant, why not go to the drunken fairy building to taste better, plus the service level, the gap in cooking food, and the gap in wine are very different. This also makes the owners of various restaurants miserable, and they want to do something, but they have no choice. This wine is an exclusive secret, and it is a trade secret, and the wine brought back cannot be developed. I didn't even enter the door of the dining room to cook the dishes, let alone learn how to cook this "stir-fry".
Even if the evil is born to the guts, and the reckless take the risk, you have to weigh the plaque with the inscription of the prefect of Jiangning hanging at the main entrance of the drunken immortal building. This is not good, that is not good, and it cannot solve the situation that the restaurant has few customers. So in the past few days, these bosses who have formed the "Jiangning Restaurant Advance Alliance" with the Shen family have all sighed, how good it would be if they signed the Advance Alliance with Zuixianlou at the beginning, and this idea will pop up in their hearts from time to time. However, there is no regret in this world, since they chose to boycott the Drunken Immortal Building together, the bitter fruit caused now can only be swallowed with tears.
However, the phrase "mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in business" still has its own reason, most of the businessmen want to succeed in business are based on interests, morality is the last, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests, sometimes it is meaningful to put down the skin and pave a broad road for yourself.
At this time, it is late autumn, and the sunshine at this time is not as sultry as in spring, nor as warm as in summer. Cao Yi is in a window-facing private room in the west building of Zuixian Building, basking in the sun, eating dried fruits, and leisurely looking at the scenery of the Qinhuai River outside the window, which has become more and more charming under the illumination of the sun.
"Childe!" Just as Cao Yi was immersed in the boundless scenery and emptied himself, the cry of the red sleeves pulled him back to reality.
"Huh? Can I help you? Cao Yi looked at Red Sleeves with slightly puzzled eyes, Red Sleeves, as the chief maid of Qingyun Pavilion, naturally understands the rules better, and generally nothing will definitely disturb the son's rest, so Cao Yi guessed that there must be something to come and call him.
"Hua Rui, the shopkeeper of Huafeng Building outside, wanted to ask to see the son, so the slave and maid came over to report it, and if the son didn't want to see him, the slave and maid went to refuse him." Red Sleeves said respectfully.
"See, since everyone else is here, how can you turn him away, it's a guest from afar, invite him over." Red Sleeves saluted like Cao Yi, and turned around to invite Na Huarui over. Cao Yi sat upright, and his heart was dark: "I'm still thinking about how long the restaurant in the "Jiangning Restaurant Co-Advancement Alliance" will be able to hold up, and sure enough, the first person began to jump out of the house. ’
"Cao Gongzi, I have long admired the name of Cao Gongzi Jiangning's first talent, when I saw it today, he was really heroic and graceful, so that the Chinese worshipped, Hua Rui came uninvited today, and there was a lot of disturbance." Hua Rui followed the red sleeves in, and when he saw that Cao Yi was sitting there so young, he was stunned, but he recovered immediately and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
