Looking at the golden and fragrant fried chicken nuggets, Tong Guan couldn't help but move his index fingers, and immediately picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a while, a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Okay, this chicken is more delicious than those two stir-fried dishes, and it is more suitable for the old man's appetite!" As he spoke, after spitting out a bone, he put another piece of chicken into his mouth, ate it with relish, and proved his statement with his actions.

His reaction was really a bit unexpected by Sun Tu. In his mind, high-ranking officials like Tong Guan should be more interested in those two stir-fried dishes, how could they be so interested in such meat?

In fact, in the final analysis, it was he who ignored his background as a martial artist because of Tong Guan's current status as an important minister in the court. Although this Tong Taiwei is a eunuch in front of the Son of Heaven, his appearance and demeanor are not much different from ordinary martial artists, he is also burly, the same vigorous and resolute, the only difference is that his face is smooth, and he doesn't have a beard.

And watching his uncle eating fried chicken happily and smelling the bursts of fragrance, Tong Mu was also coveted and knew that with these never-before-seen fresh dishes, the situation of Liufangju could be reversed.

After eating more than half of the fried chicken, Tong Guan Fang took a cloth towel and wiped his greasy drunk hands - he took it directly with his hands and gnawed it at the end of the meal - and then looked at Sun Tu and the two of them with a smile: "This time you really have a heart, you actually thought of taking out such a few fresh dishes to change the situation of Liufangju." Yes, the old man is not wrong about you. ”

"Uncle, you already knew?" Tong Mu asked with some surprise.

Tong Guan glanced at him: "Do you think someone in the Tong family is hiding from me?" You are good, you have the vision to choose Sun Tu to help you, Sun Tu is also good, not only planned the best way for you, but also came up with these many dishes. ”

Although his words were not fully clarified, Sun Tu heard them clearly. Obviously, the fact that the two of them did not expose the shopkeeper Wu before and continued to use him had already been mastered by Tong Guan. This made him feel relieved, this Tong family really had everything under his control.

After praising a few words, Tong Guan turned his face again: "But whether it's a restaurant or anything else, it's just a small road, it's okay to have fun, but you can't really take it seriously." For the two of you, it is more important to prepare for next year's imperial examination and shooting test, so don't lose a big one because of a small one. ”

"Grandson (below) understands." Sun Tu and the others hurriedly gave up, and then exited the hall with Tong Guan's permission. After Tong Guan saw the two leaving, he unconsciously stretched out his hand to the little fried chicken left, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it......

The two walked for a while, and after settling down, Tong Mucai said: "San Lang, what he said is that in addition to the restaurant, you and I should put our minds on business. For example, you have to practice the words well, otherwise it will be easy to be found wrong. ”

This is indeed Sun Tu's biggest weakness. As a traverser, he didn't know how to write with a brush, let alone write in the Song Dynasty. Although I practice every night these days, the progress is not too great. Fortunately, he was not a person who flinched easily, so he nodded immediately and said, "You just don't have to worry about this, I will do my best." ”

When he returned to his room, Sun Tu asked Ya'er to take all the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. As soon as she heard this, Ya'er, who was still smiling and groaning, made a bitter little face: "Third brother, do you have to read and write again tonight?" ”

"Of course, hard work can make progress, you learn words with me." Sun Tu said without any accommodation. During this period of time, while he was learning to copy the Sanguan style characters used in the officialdom today, Ya'er was also forced to learn to read and write together.

In the past ten years, Ya'er had never been exposed to reading and writing, so when she encountered this incident, she was daunted. But in this matter, Sun Tu seems very tough, no matter how soft and hard she pleads, she must learn from him, because he knows very well how important knowledge is to a person's change, and he doesn't want Ya'er to grow up to be an illiterate and ignorant fool.

This night, Sun Tu practiced calligraphy until midnight, and then picked up Ya'er, who had already fallen asleep on the desk, and went to sleep on the side. And after dawn, he led his horse out of the house as usual, and went out of Tokyo for a few laps. Even if he is a traverser, even if he has a warehouse, he must practice his skills so that he can master more capital that can gain a foothold in this era.

It wasn't until it was close to noon that Sun Tu came to Liufangju again, but the deserted environment here did not improve. When the shopkeeper Wu saw him, he also showed a sad look while saluting. He knew that he was atoning for his sins this time, and he was naturally more eager than Sun Tu to change his current embarrassing situation.

So when Sun Tu proposed to call a few chefs to meet him, he didn't say a word, and immediately called out the three chefs, and introduced: "These are all famous chefs in Tokyo, and they are just worse than the chefs in the main hall such as Fan Lou." ”

Sun Tu didn't mean to test their cooking skills, but just asked: "How much income do you earn for a few people who are employed by me to live in Liufangju for a month?" ”

Several people didn't know his intentions, but they still honestly reported their wages. Sun Tu nodded, and then said: "From today onwards, your wages will be doubled, and if the business of the restaurant is good in the past, your wages will be increased." ”

And such a good thing? Several chefs were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked them again and again, but Shopkeeper Wu was surprised, and didn't understand what Sun Tu's idea was. But soon Sun Tu revealed the answer: "But I also have a condition, that is, you must set up a note for me, at least for three years, you must not leave me to live in another place, otherwise you will have to lose 100,000 yuan." ”

Several chefs looked at him with some puzzlement: "Childe, why is this?" ”

"Because I'll teach you how to stir-fry, and some new cooking methods, at least for a short time, this is my secret of wandering." Sun Tu didn't hide it, so he told the truth.

As soon as they heard that there was such a good thing, the three chefs immediately agreed without saying a word. For those of them who are craftsmen, it is an extra guarantee to be able to master a new technique, especially a secret technique like stir-frying that they have only heard of but have never seen. Not to mention that Sun Tu also increased their wages, but they didn't give them anything, as long as they could learn the kung fu of stir-frying, they were willing to work here.

At that moment, the three of them made a note with Sun Tu here, and then retreated happily. It was only at this time that the shopkeeper Wu, who had not spoken before, looked at Sun Tu with surprise: "Sun Gongzi, can you really let me Liufangju also take out a stir-fry like Fan Lou?" ”

Sun Tu nodded: "Yes, as long as I do what I want, stir-frying is just a small way." I also decided to come up with more dishes that would appeal to customers, but I needed to change the layout of the restaurant a little first. ”

"Changing the restaurant landscape? What does that mean? ”

"Well...... Sun Tu immediately told the other party in detail all the preparations he had thought about before, but he heard that the shopkeeper Wu was confused for a while: "This ...... Can it really work? I've never heard of such a store before, and I'm afraid that those country foot shops rarely do this, right? In his opinion, this is really too disgraceful to his own homeless home.

But Sun Tu said: "The store is just a false name, and it will be respected if it has benefits, if there are no customers for a long time like this, it can't compare to those foot shops in the eyes of others." ”

Shopkeeper Wu hesitated slightly, but finally gritted his teeth: "Everything is arranged by Gongzi." "Since the second son has handed over the power of the restaurant to him, and he is a guilty person, he naturally has to obey his orders.

When Sun Tu saw that he agreed, he showed a smile: "So from tomorrow, I will close the door for a while, and when everything inside is ready, and when I teach them the ability to stir-fry, we will talk about other things." ”

At this moment, he was a little eager to know what kind of reaction it would have in the Tokyo food industry when the new Liufangju appeared......
