Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 25 Su Lao Platform
Early in the morning of the second day, after saying hello to Cao Yi, who was still exercising in the morning, Red Sleeves left in a hurry, and took the four girls of Raider, Musk Moon, Autumn Pattern and Qihail, except for the raider because she was a maid who had nothing to do during the day, the other three maids were all selected from their respective pairs to take turn, so that someone in Qingyun Pavilion was doing the work, and they could also take turns to go outside to learn new talents.
This was the way they discussed it among themselves last night, and Cao Yi didn't care about them. He signaled to Red Sleeves and continued to exercise until the end. After bathing and having breakfast, Cao Yi didn't go out, but waited at home for Xiong Qing to bring his two little junior brothers over.
Not long after sitting down in the study, Xiong Qing had just taken a sip of the tea brought by Bi Jin, and Xiong Qing had already led the two junior brothers over.
"Childe, the villain Xiong Qing brought my two junior brothers over." Xiong Qing smiled flatteringly, then turned his head and said to the two junior brothers, "Hurry up and say hello to Gongzi." ”
"Villain Huawen, Huawu meet Childe!"
"Poof!" Cao Yi heard their greetings, and just took a sip of tea in his mouth, and turned his head sideways, otherwise it was all sprayed on the 'Drunken Immortal Building' written on the desk.
Cao Yi patted his chest, smoothed the breath he had choked just now, and then said, "No courtesy." ”。 Then I saw two round faces raised up, and it turned out to be a rare twin. He has a fat head and big ears, a shiny face, thick lips, small eyes that are narrowed into a slit, and his belly is bulging like Xiong Qing.
Cao Yi didn't say too much to greet, and directly got up and went to the dining room with them to see how the actual cooking skills were.
The two brothers made dishes for Cao Yi respectively, one made fish and the other cooked meat, both of which are very good, and in terms of cooking technology in this era, they are already relatively top-notch. Cao Yi signed a contract with them on the spot, stating that Huawen Huawu was sold to Zuixian Building as a long-term worker, for a period of ten years, the monthly money was consistent in the first year, and the monthly money increased by 200 yuan per year, which was very good for them who were still newcomers, and it could increase every year, so they naturally signed happily.
In the following morning, Cao Yi showed the three people, including Xiong Qing, the techniques of modern iron pot stir-frying, teaching them what to fry, fry, paste, cook, fry, boil, boil, stew, burn, grill, marinade, sauce, smoke, roast, boil, pickle, cook, simmer, stew, mix, and draw wires, and inform them which stage of the stir-fry process they are used in. And the knife work, feeding, sizing, hanging paste technology, thickening juice, seasoning time and quantity mastery, spooning technology and plate technology were given special guidance.
At that time, the three brothers Xiong Qing and Huawen Huawu were amazed, and they admired Cao Yi even more. Looking at Cao Yi's use of an iron pot to fry vegetables and taste the taste of each dish, I immediately knew the advantages of using an iron pot to fry vegetables, which can not only make the dishes more juicy and delicious, but also the ingredients and practices that can be cooked have been greatly improved.
The layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Xiong Qing and Huawen Huawu, who are good at cooking, were shocked by Cao Yi's knowledge and stir-fry skills. begged Cao Yi to spend more time teaching them on the spot, but was blocked back by Cao Yi's sentence "Childe leads you into the door, and the practice is in the individual".
Later, Cao Yi told Huawen Huawu that Zuixianlu has not yet started business, so he will stay here to help Xiong Qing fight in the past few days, and at the same time practice more skills in iron pot stir-frying. He also asked Xiong Qing to tell the treasurer that two more sets of iron pots and shovels would be added to the dining room for practice.
Then wave your sleeves and don't take away a piece of fumes, and then leave the dining room.
Of course, Cao Yi also deliberately asked their third brothers to make three or four stir-fried vegetables and send them to Qingyun Pavilion to eat, the taste is not bad, and they already have a good appearance after studying all morning, and it is really the old business of others to eat, and it is easy to understand.
This also made Cao Yi more and more optimistic about the prospects of Zuixian Building. Delicious food, excellent wine and incomparable service, coupled with the prosperous location and high-end restaurants contributed by the Shen family, Cao Yi did not believe that he could not attract customers to his door.
After lunch, Cao Yi called Qingwen and asked her to follow her to visit a few people in the afternoon.
When I went out, I first went to Zhu Lao and got ten altars too drunk, let the little guy get into the carriage, and went out with Qingwen, first went straight to Hefu, voted at the door, and was invited in after a while, or the garden where the Jinling Poetry Club was held a few days ago, and the madness was practicing calligraphy over there, Cao Yi took a look from afar and found that it was Huaisu's "Self-Narrative Post". When the madman saw Cao Yi coming, he raised his head and said hello, "Wait until I finish writing this time." ”
After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Cao Yi, this is not that the madman can be lazy, but he is immersed in the cursive world and does not want to be interrupted, so he will entertain Cao Yi after writing this time.
After a while, after seeing the mad man put away his pen, Cao Yi stepped forward to salute, "The junior is uninvited, forgive the madman!" ”
"Where, Jiangning's first genius can come to visit He's mansion, and it's too late for He to be happy, but what's the matter with you, a young man, looking for me, an old man, our family doesn't have a little girl suitable for your age." The crazy man laughed and teased Cao Yi by the way.
"Mad Male, the younger generation is actually coming this time for two things, one is to give the two jars of 'Taibai Drunk' that I promised to give to the mad man before, which can be regarded as a small gift from the younger generations to the mad man."
"Zhaozheng Xiaoyou, He really didn't misunderstand you, not only is he outstanding in learning, but this is the best choice for dealing with people and things, and I thank you first." When the mad man heard that there were two altars of 'too white drunk', his eyes lit up in an instant, and he didn't feel that he had to swallow his saliva, so he quickly praised Cao Yi, and asked by the way: "Zhaozheng Xiaoyou, what is one more thing?" As long as it is within He's ability, He will definitely help you. ”
Cao Yi groaned, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, the madman should know that the Shen family lost Qingfeng Lou to me, and now I have renamed it 'Drunken Immortal Building', today I want to ask the mad man to give a copy of the 'Drunken Immortal Building' Mobao, and then the younger generation will make it into a plaque and hang it on the restaurant, and increase the reputation of the Drunken Immortal Building." I also want to invite the madman to attend the opening ribbon cutting of the Zuixian Building, stand on a platform for the juniors, and by the way, I want to invite the madman to taste the 'Qinglian Wine' that will be brewed soon, and the delicacy will be better than that of Taibai drunk."
……
A quarter of an hour later, Cao Yi left with the newly written 'Drunken Immortal Building' by the mad man, and of course took away the promise of the madman to attend the opening of the Drunken Immortal Building. instructed the coachman to drive the car to the alley leading to the Qinhuai River outside Jiangning Mansion, and sure enough, he saw that Lu Lao was still sitting there, but today he was just basking in the sun and reading a book, and no one was talking to him.
"Elder Lu, the younger generation is polite" Cao Yi walked in front of Elder Lu and made a student salute.
"Humph! Finally remember to come to me. Lu Lao turned sideways and turned his head away from looking at Cao Yi.
Cao Yi was still saluting at this time, and when he saw that Lu Lao ignored him, he was dumbfounded, and his heart was dark, as if he hadn't offended Lu Lao in any way, and he was sincerely confessing at the moment: "Lu Lao, if the juniors do something inappropriate in any way, I hope that Lu Lao will tell me that the juniors will definitely change it." ”
"Get up!" Lu Lao turned around, pointed to Jiangning Fuxue not far away, and asked Cao Yi, "Do you know where this is?" ”
"The younger generation knows, it's Jiangning Mansion School!" Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, although he wondered why Lu Lao asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully.
"You also know that this is Jiangning Academy, do you know that I am the direct speaker and supervisor of this Jiangning Academy, I have already told your mother, Mrs. Han, that you can enter Jiangning School without examination, what, according to Mrs. Han, you have to come back to school in another month? Don't you look down on the old man and Jiangning Fuxue, you say! Lu Lao asked Cao Yi with a blow of his beard and glaring.
Cao Yi hurriedly compensated Lu Lao, "Lu Lao, you also know that the Shen family lost the Qingfeng Building to the younger generation at the poetry meeting, and the younger generations have been doing the Qingfeng Building for the past few days, and it has now been renamed 'Drunken Immortal Building', you also know that the Cao family's winery was only for Cao's Mansion before, and now it is necessary to supply Drunken Immortal Mansion in addition to this, so the winery in Cao's Mansion is not enough at present, so the younger generations are also busy implementing the winery in the past few days, and they have to delay for a few days, so I told my mother that I will not be able to go to school in a month before I can go to school." ”
When Cao Yi recounted the causes and consequences, Lu Lao's anger disappeared, plus the two altars of 'Taibai drunk' that Cao Yi personally sent, Lu Lao readily agreed to give the three-word ink treasure of 'Drunken Immortal Building' on the spot, and went to support the scene on the opening day, as for the ink treasure, Lu Lao and others wrote well after returning home, and then sent someone to Cao Fu.
After Cao Yi thanked him, he said goodbye to Lu Lao and went to visit Yang Jue, the prefect of Jiangning, and Yang Gong.
