Chapter 44: Small Means
Jia Yi was not a professional chef in his last life, he had eaten a lot of dishes, but he did not necessarily make them, since the chef can be used as a profession for people to learn and develop in later generations, it also shows that the chef is also a journey of endless learning, and there will never be an end.
Jia Yi, who recognized this clearly, began to think of countermeasures early, except for some dishes that he pondered and meditated on in the future, the rest was to develop with the help of other people's hands, after all, he still understood the truth of one person counting many people, and this was the matter of him winning over Qingyun Inn.
It's just that Jia Yi feels that it takes courage and generosity to let a businessman give away his ability to make money, although the Shen family seems to be a gentleman's family, but they should still consider it for a long time to make such an advanced choice as a business alliance.
However, what Jia Yi didn't expect was that the Shen family's decision was made so quickly.
Just after dinner, when the family was ready to gossip, Boss Shen came to the Lin Mansion with his son Shen Qingyun.
The father and son of the Shen family were naturally Old Man Lin and Jia Yi.
"Boss Shen's presence really makes the humble house shine." Old Man Lin's words are half-compliments and half-truths, in the past, his Sifang Restaurant couldn't enter Boss Shen's eyes at all, let alone come to the door in person, even if he turned it over and came to the door in person, people would not necessarily see him.
"Where is it, now the Sifang Inn is the upstart of Duqu County, no, the old man came to stammer."
Boss Shen explained his intention with witty words, and even showed his attitude towards Jia Yi, that is, he was willing to form an alliance. As a condition for forming an alliance, Boss Shen told everything he had seen and heard today, which made Old Man Lin's brows furrowed into pimples, looked at Jia Yi, and saw that Jia Yi's expression was as usual, so he relaxed a little.
Boss Shen has been paying attention to Old Man Lin's expression, and after saying what Zhu Yong said today, he saw that Old Man Lin had been paying attention to Jia Yi's actions, and he had a hint of understanding in his heart, thinking that the person who could make the Sifang Inn on fire should be this one, and his son had said his name before, as if it was Jia Yi.
"I guess this is Jia Yi's little brother." Boss Shen is worthy of being a businessman, and his ability to observe words and emotions and transfer targets can be described as perfect, but just a simple inquiry brought the conversation to Jia Yi.
"No, it's down."
"Hehe, what a hero out of a teenager."
"You're welcome."
"If you want to come to the alliance, it should be brought up by Brother Jia Yi, you might as well talk about it with Lao Yu in detail."
Jia Yi knew this early, and directly said the manuscript in his stomach.
"In fact, the alliance is still something you suffer, this fried cooking is magical, but it is nothing more than the use of edible oil, this four-character cooking technique is also all around the edible oil, although I can squeeze rapeseed oil, but I am not very familiar with the way of stir-frying, a few simple dishes I can still make, as for those unfathomable dishes, I can only look at the dust, therefore, I hope to be able to use your time-honored Qingyun Inn, pull me Quartet Inn, It is also good that my Sifang Inn will continue to prosper for a long time. ”
Just a braised pork made Boss Shen think about it and didn't understand the truth, listening to Jia Yi say that this braised pork is just the simplest dish, so how difficult those complicated ones can be, he is a little afraid to think.
The accumulation of any knowledge requires a process, it cannot be achieved overnight, cooking skills are the same, the appearance of any dish can not be completed overnight, it takes a long time of accumulation and research, and finally under the effect of good luck, it can be presented in front of the world.
"I believe that with Brother Jiayi's cooking skills, it is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Sifang Inn for decades, are you really willing to teach me and help my Qingyun Inn reach a new level of glory?"
"What I pursue is long-term interests, not the small profits in front of me, so finding an ally for myself is inevitable, it depends on what Boss Shen wants."
"In that case, then I, Qingyun Inn, am willing to form an alliance with the Sifang Inn."
"Okay, then I'll tell Boss Shen about the method of braised pork and stew now."
After listening to Jia Yi's words, some incomprehensible problems were immediately solved, and even the combination of stew and stir-fry made his eyes shine, with Jia Yi's narration, he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
"I really didn't expect that there would be so much attention to cooking along the way, and the old man has been taught today."
"Boss Shen laughed, that's all the kid understands, as for the more novel dishes, it's all up to Boss Shen's development, the kid is now poor in donkey skills."
"This little brother Jia, don't worry, if my Qingyun Inn researches any new dishes, I will definitely tell the Sifang Inn as soon as possible, but the old man still has one thing to ask for."
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"This canola oil ......"
Rapeseed oil is subject to the shortage of materials, has become the only reason to limit the number of stir-fried vegetables, rapeseed oil yield is really not high, or the world will eat rapeseed oil, where will there be a peanut oil market.
"Boss Shen, the output of this rapeseed oil will not be too much every year, which is limited by the land and the amount of brassica planted, it is really not something I can change, but I have found a substitute, once this plant is successfully planted, then no matter how many branches we open in the future, the edible oil will be in sufficient supply."
So many stir-fried vegetables, there is a need for more oil, there is a need for less oil, as long as the stir-frying, then there is no edible oil, but the output of rapeseed oil is really limited, only the Sifang Inn in Duqu County has enough rapeseed oil to be able to see its shortage.
"That being the case, then the old decay is also relieved." Boss Shen didn't ask Jia Yi what kind of plant it was, edible oil is now the last bargaining chip of the Sifang Inn, if he also said it, then the Sifang Inn will be completely in a passive position, of course, Boss Shen also knows very well, even if he asks, he will not say.
"By the way, today the old man participated in a chamber of commerce......"
Now that the alliance has been formed, the integration of the two families is tied together, if the Sifang Inn is impacted because of Zhu Yong's plan, he Qingyun Inn will not feel good, in order to show his sincerity, and in order to make Jia Yizao take precautions, Boss Shen told everything he heard today.
After listening to Boss Shen's narration, Jia Yi did not show any solemn expression on his face, and still looked calm and breezy, as if he was holding the chance to win, which made Boss Shen admire Jia Yi's calmness.
"Thank you Boss Shen for reminding me, I really didn't take this kind of trick to heart, and I have completed the amount requested by the Guogong Mansion this year, at least until next year, I don't need to worry about wine anymore."
In fact, Jia Yi's words are not finished, the current winery is making grape wine, the liquor has stopped brewing, and now the market is selling inventory, but as the weather gets hotter and hotter, I believe that grape brewing with ice will be more popular than liquor, as for Liu Dashan of the winery, Jia Yi also has the intention to test him, if he can pass the test, the benefits in the future naturally do not need to be said, but if he can't pass, Jia Yi is just a changer, no matter what he says, he will not suffer.
"The kid has a reluctant request, and I hope that Boss Shen will fulfill it."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Boss Shen, can you start selling authentic braised pork tomorrow, two days, the kid only needs two days, so that the kid can teach Zhu Yong a good lesson, and after two days, Boss Shen can sell all kinds of stir-fried dishes to his heart's content."
"It's a big deal, the old man just promised you."
After chatting for a while, Boss Shen left the Lin Mansion with his son.
Jia Yi returned to his room, put his hands behind his head, and began to think about the next action, the inn has been opened to the extreme, even if he wants to expand, he will inevitably carry the Qingyun Inn with him, and the speed of this expansion will not be too fast, but the locust plague is coming next summer, his money is still too little, and he needs to prepare money as soon as possible and buy more food.
Before that, Jia Yi still has one thing to do, that is, to buy a piece of land, first plant peanuts for next year's use, but this year the wild land is too dangerous, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only a few million households, and the vacated large land has become a paradise for all kinds of wild animals, the small ones have foxes and dogs, and the slightly larger ones have wolves and even tigers.
"Is there any way to solve it quickly?" Thinking about this problem, Jia Yi fell asleep in a daze, but even in a dream, he couldn't think of a solution.
Since the Sifang Inn was able to operate stably, after Jia Yi didn't need to worry about it, he developed a good habit of sleeping lazy, until the third pole of the sun, Lin Ruyu had already finished the meal, and he opened his eyes leisurely.
"Jia Yi, hurry up, let's go boating on the Chan River today."
As soon as the dazed Jia heard the boating, his first reaction was that the Lin family had bought a boat?
When Jia Yi told Lin Ruyu this question, Lin Ruyu looked at Jia Yi with a strange expression on his face, and said softly: "It's important to buy a boat, we can't go a few times a year, isn't it too extravagant to buy a boat, if you want to play, you can rent a jumpboat." ”
Rent?! Hearing this, Jia Yi slapped his head fiercely, and secretly sighed that after he came to the Tang Dynasty, he had begun to gradually forget the way of life in his previous life.
