"Cher, you're amazing! This wine is so punctual! ”

Wu Zhi was very excited, he couldn't help but come to Xue'er and kiss Xue'er hard, now he can be regarded as a genius!

Xue'er blinked her eyes wide, although she didn't know what Wu Zhi meant by "punctuality", but seeing Wu Zhi's obvious intimacy and praise, she also lowered her head beautifully.

"By the way, Cher, have you written down the ratio of this blend?" After the excitement, Wu Zhi calmed down, if Xue'er just blended this high-quality liquor by random and accidental, then Wu Zhi was also happy in vain.

"Hmm!" Xue'er nodded cautiously and said, "The slave family has already paid attention to it when it was blended just now, and it has already remembered this taste, and the slave family can be blended without proportion." ”

Seeing Xue'er nodded, Wu Zhi's hanging heart also became steady, "Let's write down the proportion, remember, you must not tell any outsiders this, this is a secret that belongs to our family!" "At any time, the blending ratio is the core secret of liquor, and even if someone secretly learns the method of distilling liquor in the future, then without the blending ratio, the liquor produced is completely incapable of competing with Wu Zhi.

Carefully put away the blending ratio that Xue'er had written, Wu Zhi was also full of confidence, with this secret recipe, he was already invincible.

Next, Wu Zhi didn't let Xue'er help, he tried to mix the remaining half of the jar of alcohol into a jar of liquor according to the ratio given by Xue'er, and its taste was really the same as Xue'er's, after verification, Wu Zhi couldn't help but nod excitedly, now the problem of wine is perfectly solved!

The backyard of the restaurant is quite large, in addition to the underground wine cellar, there are many clean and spacious rooms, Wu Zhi and Xue'er also discussed and decided together after collecting the jar of liquor, in the early days of the restaurant, they moved to the innermost room of the courtyard to live, and built a complete distillation facility in the wine cellar, and the wine cellar was Xue'er's secret liquor workshop in the future.

"Xue'er, you're going to have to work harder in the future!" Wu Zhi hugged Xue'er into his arms, and he was both grateful and reluctant in his heart.

Xue'er comfortably leaned on Wu Zhi's chest and chuckled: "This kind of work is not hard, as long as you can stay by the side of the official, the slave family is very satisfied, and it is the blessing of the slave family to meet the official!" ”

Xue'er said everything from her heart, as the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, what is marrying the wrong man, just like Pan Jinlian, marrying the former Wu Dalang is marrying the wrong one, the previous Wu Dalang is not only uninteresting, but also has no ability and ambition, it can be said that there is no charm to attract women at all.

And now Wu Zhi is not only interesting, but also turned into a restaurant owner, and also has independent intellectual property rights, and treats Xue'er considerately, this kind of good man, Xue'er naturally likes it more and more, in Xue'er's eyes, even Wu Zhi's not tall figure has become a cute advantage!

At noon, Wu Zhi didn't take Xue'er out to eat, he searched the kitchen for a long time, and finally reluctantly fried a plate of side dishes for him and Xue'er, plus a few glasses of freshly blended liquor, this is a simple lunch for the two, although it is simple, but Xue'er has never eaten this kind of stir-fried food when she is so big, and after tasting it so delicious, her eyes are even more radiant when she looks at Wu Zhi.

"Haha! This is called stir-frying, and it is also my samurai family's family secret recipe, so I'll teach you later! Being a little embarrassed by Xue'er's fiery eyes, Wu Zhi had no choice but to haha, anyway, if there is any new invention in the future, just press it directly on the family secret.

After lunch, Brother Yun led a group of people to Wu Zhi, although Wu Zhi only asked him to find four cooks and four juniors, but Brother Yun brought twice the number of people in order to perform well, so that Wu Zhi could personally select them.

Wu Zhi naturally nodded again and again, he had been in the society for many years, and of course he was not comparable to the fledgling Brother Yun, and he selected four loyal and calm cooks and a kind and clever little two, and the others let Brother Yun leave.

"In the future, follow me Wu Dalang steadfastly, and I will give you twice the salary of other families!" Wu Zhi straightened his waist slightly and said lightly to the people who stayed.

After listening to Wu Zhi's words, several people were happy, only Brother Yun looked at Wu Zhi with some concern, it was already a very risky to invite so many people, and he had to give double wages, although he could receive double as a shopkeeper, but Wu Zhi was his friend after all, and he was still secretly worried about Wu Zhi.

Seeing Brother Yun's concern, Wu Zhi walked over and patted Brother Yun on the shoulder and continued: "Make a record for them or something, and I will let a few chefs come to the kitchen to find me." ”

The reason why Wu Zhi gave them high wages is also considered, first of all, the salary of this kind of ordinary cooks and running halls is not high, and doubling it is just a little less profit, not to mention that he will always teach these cooks stir-fry techniques in the future, if he doesn't give grace and power, I'm afraid it will be easy to be dug up.

Wu Zhi was dug into the corner by Ximenqing as soon as he crossed over, of course, he hated others to dig his own corner the most, so he was happy to give his employees the best treatment, anyway, the business would not be hot in the future.

After Xue'er avoided it, Wu Zhi and Brother Yun chatted warmly with the four cooks in the kitchen.

Wu Zhi's original memory of Wu Dalang in his mind also didn't know much about the level of cooking in this era, so he wanted to collect the information he wanted to know from several chefs, why was there no stir-fry in this era, and what ingredients were in the kitchen in this era?

After two hours of talking, Wu Zhi gradually realized that the reason why there was no stir-fry in this era was mainly because of the lack of conditions! There are just no conditions! The most important prerequisite for stir-frying is, of course, to have edible oil, and the most suitable is of course vegetable oil, and although the Northern Song Dynasty can already squeeze oil at this time, it is far from meeting the conditions for stir-frying!

First of all, the main vegetable oil that people squeeze at this time is mainly sesame oil! That is, sesame oil, because the oil yield of sesame seeds is the highest among all crops that can be extracted from oil at this time, with the oil extraction technology at this time, there is not much oil from soybeans, and peanuts, which are richer in oil, have not yet been introduced to China at this time.

However, sesame seeds are very reluctant to waterlog, it is very difficult to plant, and even if there is a bumper harvest, the yield of sesame seeds is extremely low compared to others, so sesame oil is very rare in this era, and ordinary people or restaurants take sesame oil mainly to fry some food, it is these extensive fried foods that have made the people of the Northern Song Dynasty cherish and love.

Knowing this, Wu Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, sesame oil! Even in the 21st century, a thousand years later, no one would have the luxury of stir-frying! It seems that the key to the problem is not the stir-fry technology, but the oil extraction technology! Once cheaper cooking oil becomes widespread, stir-frying technology will naturally emerge.

So if you want to make your restaurant long-lasting, it is very important to master the oil vein!

In this era, although the market is open to the northern nomads, beef and mutton are easy to buy, but the cost of animal oil is still higher than that of sesame oil, and it is very important to develop the oil value of soybeans, a traditional Chinese crop.

Wu Zhi is not in a hurry about this, there is no need to spend time studying what oil extraction technology now, the restaurant is about to open, and it is not difficult to buy a few barrels of soybean oil in the early stage, as long as the restaurant is officially operational, he has a steady stream of capital, so it is not difficult to establish an oil extraction base in the countryside.

As long as it is a human society, having money and doing things is by no means an empty word.

Because when Wu Zhi was a child, his uncle's family happened to open an oil mill in the town, although it has long been closed, but Wu Zhi still has some impressions of those oil extraction processes, even if he paints a scoop according to the gourd, it is definitely much higher than the current oil extraction technology!

If you really can't do it, you can squeeze the power of a steam engine! Are you afraid that you can't press the oil if you have enough power? So Wu Zhi is still worried about Mao?

After sending away a few cooks in the afternoon, Wu Zhi beckoned Brother Yun to help him move, he and Xue'er were going to move to the backyard of the restaurant, Wu Dalang was poor before, leaving those worthless belongings, and the others were only a few quilts and clothes, as well as some inner and outer clothes left by Pan Jinlian, Xue'er saw that Wu Zhi's expression was a little hesitant, so she said empathetically that she would take good care of these things.

Pan Jinlian's matter Wu Zhi did not hide it from Xue'er, and Xue'er naturally did not blame Wu Zhi for being a little reluctant, in her opinion, Wu Zhi is the embodiment of affection, but she doesn't know that although Wu Zhi is a little reluctant and unwilling, but more curious about Pan Jinlian's underwear, Pan Jinlian, a beauty who has been passed down for thousands of years, what is her underwear like? What does it smell like? If you bring it back to the next generation, you will definitely be able to auction it for 100,000 yuan!

Those simple but clean clothes were still put into the box by Xue'er, Wu Zhi's heart was aroused, the backyard of the restaurant is three houses, Wu Zhi and Xue'er naturally moved to the three main rooms in the middle, the main house has a simple structure, the left room is a large bedroom, the middle is the living room, and the right is the study; Outside the main house, there are two low houses on the left and right, one side is where the warehouse and the wine cellar are located, and the other side is reserved for the shopkeeper or the second child who is on duty at night in the restaurant.

It was already evening after moving, but Wu Zhi did not let Brother Yun leave, but told Xue'er to go out to buy vegetables, Wu Zhi and Brother Yun built a complete distillation equipment in the wine cellar, to put it bluntly, it is a small stove, and then put the chimney and fire mouth outside, only need to build a few bricks and dig a few holes, and then put a pot, it is not troublesome.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty continued to fight on the frontier, the people in the market lived a very stable and prosperous life, and there was a market at night, after Xue'er bought vegetables and some oil, Wu Zhi personally cooked a few plates of muddy vegetarian, and served the liquor mixed at noon, which made Brother Yun's saliva again and again stunned, and now he finally understood why Wu Zhi was so confident, after tasting Wu Zhi's craftsmanship, he was full of confidence even with him!

Brother Yun recalled that those drinks and dishes in Huanxianglou were simply pig food compared to Wu Zhi, and he laughed at himself before as if he was afraid that he would never be able to eat them again......
