Chapter 28 From Eating Hot Pot to Opening a Hot Pot Restaurant
After Wei Shuyu washed the iron pot, he placed it on the stove, and when the iron pot was burned to the point that it was about to change color, he put a small half bowl of oil, and then put the bottom of the sauerkraut pot he had prepared into it, and added water.
"Simple!" Wei Shuyu looked at the five people.
"It's not simple, I don't know, but the smell makes you have an appetite." Cheng Chumo's words caused everyone to nod for a while, obviously wafting out with the taste of the bottom of the pot, fully stimulating everyone's taste buds.
"You need to choose these seasoning ingredients according to your taste." Wei Shuyu made a demonstration by himself, he poured some sesame oil (sesame oil is sesame oil) into a bowl, added some vinegar, salt, green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., and then stirred well with chopsticks.
Cheng Chumo looks stupid, but he is actually quite smart. Although he doesn't like to use his brain, his method is undoubtedly the best.
Wei Shuyu will follow how he gets it. And some of the four girls don't like green onions, some don't like garlic, and finally add some flax.
After the water in the iron pot boiled, Wei Shuyu put the cut fish fillets in, and after boiling for more than ten minutes, he put some vegetables in it.
"Alright, let's eat."
After a while, Wei Shuyu first sandwiched a piece of fish fillet, put it in a bowl and mixed it, and then put it in his mouth.
Cheng Chumo did the same, and also sandwiched a few fish fillets, but a few girls only sandwiched some vegetables, except for Xia Zhu, a carnivore, of course.
"Delicious. I've never eaten such delicious fish. This is the emotion of Cheng Chumo, an uneducated old man, after eating a few pieces of fish.
"Childe is amazing."
"It's our luck to follow Childe."
"Well, Childe, will we eat hot pot every day in the future?" Xia Zhu asked coquettishly.
"You can eat as much as you want. But this one tastes average. , There are a lot of better hot pots, but Ben Gongzi can't get them out because he doesn't have chili peppers. Wei Shuyu said.
"It would be nice to have some wine!" Cheng Chumo said.
"Wine? Iron Bull. I have studied wine a lot. The wine we drink now is not called wine at all, at best it can only be called mash wine, and the degree is too low to be drunk by women. When I find the time, make some men's wine, and then you'll find out what makes wine. ”
"Brother Shuyuxian, what is in your head? How can anything? ”
"Iron Bull. The brain is a thing that needs to be used more, and when you encounter everything, you have to study it more, and you have to see the essence through the phenomena, so that you will understand a lot of things. ”
"The reason why people can become the head of all spirits is to use their brains, and to be good at things!" Wei Shuyu felt that he couldn't help but start preaching.
"Anyway, I don't like to use my brain, and my brother will follow the virtuous brother in the future, hehe, you eat meat and I drink soup." Cheng Chumo took advantage of his words to sandwich the last few pieces of meat in the hot pot into the bowl.
"No problem, how can you and my brother let me eat meat and let you drink soup? If you want to eat meat, eat meat together, and drink soup together. ”
After several contacts, Wei Shuyu has regarded Cheng Chumo as his first friend after coming to Datang. In some ways, Wei Shuyu likes people like Cheng Chumo.
"Good. Brother Xian, can you put some more fish in now? ”
"Put it wherever you want, put whatever you want to eat, the way to eat hot pot is a hodgepodge."
"Childe, our sisters are also following you." Xia Zhu looked at Wei Shuyu with straight eyes.
"Didn't you follow me all the time?" Wei Shuyu replied, and then said to Cheng Chumo, "Tie Niu, let's open a hot pot shop, do you think we can make money?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. In this way, I will have the money to redeem Xiaoxiangzi, hehe......"
"In that case, you look for a store, I will come up with technology, and then how about we split fifty or five?"
"My family has a few shops in the West Market, but business has not been good, and my father plans to rent them out. It just so happens that we use it to open a hot pot shop? How can I ask for fifty percent of the profits, give me enough to achieve enough brothers. ”
"Since you have been talking about your brother, it is not a shame to dishonor the word brother. Don't shirk anymore, you and my brother will have a lot of opportunities to make money in the future, so you just wait to count the money. ”
"Good brother, come and eat fish."
This hot pot was eaten by everyone for two hours, and soup was added twice in the middle. After eating, I went to see the shop as soon as I waited for the others.
The three shops of Cheng Chumo's house are located at the northwest corner of Xishi, adjacent to Qunxianfang City on the left, Liquanfang to the north, and Judefang Cheng, where Wei Shuyu now lives. It's a pity that there are walls inside and outside each square, otherwise you can see these three shops when you stand at the door of your house.
Entering the store, Wei Shuyu was also speechless to the Cheng family's father and son, such a good location, such a good store. What to sell is not good, specializing in groceries, and there are few varieties of groceries, it is strange that business can be good.
Each shop is about 100 square meters. Wei Shuyu and Cheng Chumo planned to renovate the two grocery stores around the corner and open a hot pot restaurant. There is only one grocery store left, and Wei Shuyu also has his own plans, making some gadgets in the future and putting them in the store to sell.
For example, slip blocks and the like. If you want to have a hot pot restaurant and a sliding block, the attraction of the two can bring more customers.
As soon as he said it, he silently instructed the men to vacate the goods from the two grocery stores, and then they and Wei Shuyu went their separate ways.
Cheng Chumo first went back to Lu Guogong's mansion to say hello to Cheng Zhijie, and then went to find workers to decorate.
Wei Shuyu found a guy and measured the size of the store, and he planned to design the decoration style well. After all, good decoration ideas are also the guarantee of business success.
The next day, Wei Shuyu took the drawings, and Cheng Chumo took the workers to meet at Liquanfang. Wei Shuyu explained his decoration concept and precautions to the contractor in detail, and started the renovation plan in a hurry that morning.
Wei Shuyu asked Cheng Chumo to be responsible for supervising the work on site, and it was necessary to ensure that the decoration drawings were fully installed. And after buying a large amount of pig iron at a high price with four girls, he returned to the Gudefang Research Institute.
He had to set up the steam engine and generator, fill the sledgehammer with power, and finally build a modified small stove for the hot pot restaurant.
After the sledgehammer finished fabricating the heating pipes, Wei Shuyu and the five workers found by Chunzhu began to install the steam engine and lay the pipes. It took another day of overtime to complete it.
The steam engine was installed in the kitchen, and the generator was installed in the small house that had been rebuilt next to the kitchen, separated by only one wall. Several rooms were all covered with heating pipes, even the few that were vacant in the front yard were not left behind, and seven or eight heating pads were installed in each room.
There was a hiccup in the middle, that is, Xia Zhu didn't want the workers to enter her room. In his words, her room was not allowed to be entered by men other than Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu could only smile wryly, carrying the heating pipes and installing them himself. After a busy time, Wei Shuyu was tired and became a dog, sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Xia Zhu whispered to Wei Shuyu when no one was around, and helped his son take a bath at night, which made Wei Shuyu feel that his efforts were worth it.
Next, the most critical moment came, that is, the first ignition test of the steam engine. Wei Shuyu set the wood in the boiler on fire with apprehension......
