Chapter 28: The Art of Witchcraft
It's a new day.
The success of braised pork has made Zuixianlou famous, and naturally it has also attracted many red-eyed competitors.
Those people pretended to be diners, came to Zuixian Lou to taste the braised pork, and then remembered the taste and went back to make it.
But they found that no matter what they did, they couldn't get the unique taste, not even the color of the meat.
Wei Yan had long thought that someone would come to steal the teacher.
But he wasn't worried.
They don't have rock sugar, they don't have all kinds of spices, and they don't even know the various steps, how do they do it?
Moreover, when the brand effect of Zuixianlou is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if those who are red-eyed really make it, they can only be complained about by people.
The braised pork in the drunken fairy building is the authentic braised pork.
In the new January, Wei Yan decided to add two new signature dishes - watercress crucian carp and crucian carp soup.
Crucian carp is fresh every day, and as for watercress, there are many in the supermarket.
And Wei Yan was also pleasantly surprised to find that the ketchup and beef sauce he used at the beginning, as well as the sausages, were automatically replenished.
As can be seen from the unused can of ketchup and beef sauce, it is by no means the supermarket's inventory replenishment, but the automatic recovery after use.
That is to say, no matter how much he uses in the future, he is not afraid that these goods will suddenly run out.
This is an inexhaustible treasure trove!
Go out with the paintings, and take a look at the houses on the streets.
He decided to buy a house and move out so that he could have more freedom.
With your own house, you can really have a home, always living in other people's homes, there is always too much discomfort.
The house in the south of the city can be done for two or three hundred taels of silver, and if it is a little shabby, it doesn't even cost a hundred taels.
As for the better ones, there are rockeries, gardens, and promenades, which are estimated to be hundreds of taels or thousands of taels larger.
He was not short of silver now, so he naturally wanted to buy a better mansion.
"Hua'er, yesterday you asked Ling'er to give the ten taels of silver to Ling'er and let her buy some beautiful clothes and jewelry, did you give it?"
Wei Yan asked.
Hua'er hurriedly smiled and said: "Give it, the second miss kept saying don't want it, I said that the son has a lot of money, I don't care about the ten taels, the second lady's expression at that time was shocked." However, the slave obeyed the son's instructions and didn't tell the second lady anything. The second lady was going to look for Childe, but it was too late, and I was afraid that the impact would not be good, so I was going to come to Childe early this morning, who knows, we came out so early. ”
Wei Yan smiled: "Ling'er is still studying female popularity recently? ”
Hua'er nodded and said: "Yes, the second lady said that the girl is not doing well and will not be able to marry in the future, so she is very strict with the second lady and does not let her come out to play." ”
Speaking of this, Hua'er said happily: "Fortunately, the slave maid is just a little maid, she is not afraid that she will not be able to get married, and she can accompany her son every day." ”
Wei Yan glanced at her and said deliberately: "You are Ling'er's personal maid, when Ling'er gets married, you naturally have to go with you, if you don't understand anything, the man will dislike you, maybe he won't even give you the opportunity to warm the bed and sleep with you." ”
As soon as these words came out, the painting suddenly became anxious: "No, people don't want to marry the second lady, and people don't go to warm the bed and sleep together, woo...... People, people just want to ......"
Speaking of this, the little maid twisted, blushed, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I just want to ...... Warm the bed for Childe......"
After speaking, she raised her head and saw that Wei Yan had already walked away.
"Oops! Childe, wait for someone! ”
The little maid puffed up her anger and hurriedly chased after her.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Wei Yan immediately entered the kitchen and instructed the chef to prepare a few fresh crucian carp.
Soon, a plate of watercress crucian carp with full color and aroma and a pot of fragrant crucian carp soup were completed.
In the previous dishes of the restaurant, there were also roasted crucian carp and crucian carp soup, but the taste was naturally far worse than this.
Even if it is a pot of water, as long as you add MSG and chicken essence, the taste will be very different.
The chefs tasted a spoonful of crucian carp soup one by one, and their eyes lit up, and their faces were full of incredulity: "What a delicious taste!" ”
Immediately, there were all kinds of exclamations and sycophants.
At noon.
The shopkeeper began to recommend the new watercress crucian carp and crucian carp soup to customers.
Wei Yan cooks by himself.
When the guests ate it, they were full of praise, saying that the taste was extremely beautiful, and they said that they would bring friends to try it next time.
There are more and more customers, and Wei Yan can't cook all the time.
Therefore, he poured the watercress chicken essence and monosodium glutamate and other ingredients into the prepared clay pots, and tested them a few times for the chefs before leaving the kitchen.
These materials are only a small half can, enough to be used for two or three days, and then you can add more.
Although these two dishes are simpler to make than braised pork, in order to show the difference of Zuixianlou and whet the appetite of those diners, Wei Yan still instructed the shopkeeper Qian Zhisong to have a maximum of twenty servings a day, not more.
As for the price, it will naturally increase a lot.
Qian Zhisong had already admired his cooking skills and the mind of the guests, and immediately did so when he heard it.
At the beginning, the monthly income of this restaurant was only a few hundred taels at most, but since this young man came to take charge, it has soared to nearly three thousand taels in a month.
With this kind of method, how could he not be convinced.
"The county lord is so powerful, I don't know where to find such a powerful teenager. Even if the county lord only gets 30%, he will earn much more than before. ”
Of course, he knew that the county lord must not be interested in making money.
After Wei Yan finished speaking, he made the braised pork again, cooked it over low heat, and then left the kitchen.
After a busy morning, and getting up early in the morning, Wei Yan and Hua'er had a casual lunch and fell asleep in the box.
When I woke up, I heard the sound of "Zizi" drinking soup next to me.
Wei Yan opened his eyes, sat up, and saw Liu Chan sitting there, holding a spoon, drinking a big bowl of crucian carp soup, and a plate of braised pork and a plate of braised crucian carp were placed on the table.
Wei Yan was speechless, looked at the braised pork and said, "The meat is not rotten, is it?" ”
Liu Chan smiled and said, "Fortunately, my teeth are quite good, and I bite well." How is your crucian carp soup cooked, and how is it much more delicious than the previous crucian carp soup? I used to get tired of it after a few sips, but now I still want to drink it, as if I can't drink enough. ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "I put some homemade seasonings, and the taste is naturally much more delicious." ”
Liu Chan picked up the bowl, drank all the soup at the bottom of the bowl, put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, looked at him and said, "Wei Yan, ask you something." ”
Wei Yan looked at the look in her eyes and said, "You say." ”
Liu Chan glanced at the flowers that were still sleeping, her eyes flashed, she leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "You can do magic, you can change some things into nothing, and you can change things that don't have them, right?" ”
Sure enough, it still came.
Wei Yan has long known that this girl with a mysterious identity is willing to give up seventy percent of the profits of the restaurant to him, and there is definitely another purpose.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Not all of them, and there is no guarantee that it will work every time." ”
Although it is possible to quietly collect nearby things into the supermarket, and to transform those things out of the supermarket, the distance seems to be only one meter, and some things may not be successful.
Liu Chan stared at him, her eyes became deep and cold, she was silent for a while, slowly raised her hand, took out a humanoid puppet the size of a palm from her sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Try it." ”
As he spoke, he bent down and carefully placed the puppet at his feet.
"Witchcraft!"
When Wei Yan saw the puppet, his heart suddenly shook, and his eyes looked at the girl in front of him again.
Liu Chan looked at his gaze without fear and said, "I'm not trying to curse others, I'm just going to ...... Avenge. ”
