Chapter 13: Cheap Schemes
When it was almost evening, Brother Yun returned to the restaurant with a tired face, followed by a small cart with two rows of oily barrels on the cart, obviously, he completed the task of buying oil given by Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi inspected it, there are a total of six wooden barrels, which are filled with orange and yellow transparent soybean oil, although the oil yield is low at this time, but they are all good oil products that belong to the "first-class pressing", and the dishes fried with this oil will be particularly fragrant, and these six barrels of oil are enough for the restaurant to use for more than ten days.
"Well, that's good! Brother Yun has worked hard, stay for dinner tonight, and I'll fry a few more good dishes for you! "Brother Yun did things very beautifully, Wu Zhi was very satisfied, originally he only expected Brother Yun to get half of it.
"Hey, hey! All right! Hearing that Wu Zhi was going to cook for himself again, Brother Yun suddenly smiled and snorted, but he looked at the oil, and said to Wu Zhi with some concern: "Dalang, I almost ran all over the county to collect these soybean oils, I'm afraid that next time we won't be able to find so much oil in our Yanggu County, but the restaurant will always continue to open, what should I do when the oil runs out?" ”
Brother Yun's worries are not unreasonable, and opening a restaurant also requires a long-term and stable supply of materials, but now soybean oil is extremely scarce on the market, and I am afraid that the restaurant will run out of oil at that time.
"Haha, don't worry!" Wu Zhi laughed heartily after listening to Brother Yun's words, "It's really hard to buy much soybean oil on the market now, but don't tell me you can't buy soybeans?" Wu Zhi continued meaningfully to Brother Yun with a smile.
"Of course, soybeans have as many ...... as they are," Brother Yun said without thinking, and halfway through speaking, he finally patted his head and said, "That's right!" With soybeans, are you still worried about soybean oil? ”
Soybeans belong to the northern crops, has a long history of planting in China, Shandong is very suitable for the growth of soybeans, in later generations Shandong is also a large soybean planting province, as long as there is money, want to collect thousands of catties of soybeans here and play.
After Brother Yun was woken up by Wu Zhi, he also thought about it, although the cost of collecting soybeans and squeezing oil is a bit high, but this is also the only feasible good way at present, I can't help it, Brother Yun has a deep admiration for Wu Zhi in his heart, he always only looks at the surface of the problem, and Wu Zhi directly sees through the essence, this kind of superior vision and wisdom makes him throw himself to the ground.
However, what makes Brother Yun even more devotion is that in the future, Wu Zhi will use soybeans to extract oil, and its oil yield will be several times more than others, so that the cost of buying soybeans to extract oil can not be lower.
"There's a lot going on tomorrow, you can't drink any more tonight!" Wu Zhi patted Brother Yun on the shoulder and said, Brother Yun is actually very clever and capable, but his experience is a little insufficient, Wu Zhi plans to mention him more in the future, so that Brother Yun will definitely become a right-hand man of Wu Zhi.
Early the next morning, the cook and the juniors all came to the restaurant, after all, Wu Zhi wanted to give them twice the salary, of course they all hoped that the restaurant would be prosperous after it opened tomorrow, so they were very energetic and waited for Wu Zhi to arrange work for them.
Wu Zhi couldn't hide his excitement in front of these guys, before he crossed over, he was just a little gangster who was not even as good as a sling, and after the crossing, he also crossed over to Wu Dalang very sadly, and he was cuckolded by Ximenqing just here, which can be described as a wretch.
But it didn't take long for him to own Xue'er, a good restaurant, and these employees worked for themselves with high expectations, so that the wish he made when he crossed has basically come true, and God just played a joke with himself before, thinking of this, how could Wu Zhi not be a little excited?
But this is just the beginning, for a person who does business, it is the most exciting thing to see the silver flowing into his pocket like flowing water, and only with silver can he have the strength to compete with Ximenqing.
After gathering his mind, Wu Zhi began to arrange work for everyone, first asked Xiao Er to help Xue'er handle the fire, and then instructed the two Xiao Er to arrange the interior and exterior facades, and left two cooks to take them to learn how to stir-fry for a while, and then asked Brother Yun to take the two cooks and Xiao Er to purchase ingredients.
The list of ingredients Wu Zhi had already discussed with Xue'er last night, it was nothing more than some chicken, fish, meat and eggs, some vegetables and fruits, etc., Wu Zhi was not a chef, and he couldn't make any exquisite and complex dishes, so he could only purchase ingredients according to the specifications of later generations of home-cooked dishes.
But even these home-cooked dishes are enough to make people in this era stunned.
Considering the taste of Shandong people, the menu launched by Wu Zhi is all the style of Lu cuisine in later generations, Shandong's Lu cuisine is one of the four major cuisines in China, Wu Zhi has not eaten a lot before he crossed, so he can also think of the names of several famous home cooking, such as stir-fried chicken, home-style tofu, sweet and sour carp, roasted large intestine, pot chicken, fried lamb tripe, roasted pork ribs, etc., are all rich and fragrant, fresh and crispy dishes, must be the most suitable for the taste of Shandong people.
Wu Zhi only knows how to make these dishes, and Wu Zhi also knows that even if he teaches those cooks to make them, the taste will be 108,000 miles away from the original, but no matter how bad it is, it will be much more delicious than the steamed dishes that Wu Zhi ate in Huanxianglou, what Wu Zhi has to do is just a beginning, with this beginning, then those professional chefs will definitely slowly find the most suitable cooking method.
Since the restaurant is newly opened, then there must be a loud name, the original name "Drunken Immortal Building" must not be used anymore, Wu Zhi originally wanted to name the new restaurant "Buckingham Palace Restaurant", this is also because Wu Zhi crossed the city before, there is a "Buckingham Palace Hotel" is the most luxurious and fragrant hotel in the city, Wu Zhi used to yearn for there.
However, considering that his future restaurant will be chained throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, Wu Zhi dispelled the idea of taking this name, he is only engaged in catering, and does not engage in accommodation and entertainment projects, why bother taking that name, simply call it KFC, and preemptively register foreign brands in advance, so after a thousand years, KFC will be a time-honored brand in China......
But when Wu Zhi told Xue'er the name, Xue'er was confused: "Are you willing to fight chickens?" What is it? Want to beat chickens? ”
was asked by Xue'er, Wu Zhi denied the name in his heart, yes, it's really a strange idea to give the restaurant this name by himself, why does a Chinese restaurant take a foreign name, or plagiarism...... Tumbling with the little ink in his stomach, Wu Zhi planned to give the restaurant a Chinese-style name.
"Life must be full of joy...... "Life must be happy" halfway through, Wu Zhi really couldn't remember the second half of the sentence, so he patted his head and said: "Proud building!" It's called the Proud Building! The spring breeze is proud... What a taste of China! ”
In this way, after Xue'er also felt that it was very suitable, Wu Zhi gave the restaurant such a name, and today he has already sent someone to customize the signboard, and it can be delivered at noon.
It was on this day that the "proud building" that spread all over the country and became famous all over the world was born!
Compared with Wu Zhi's busy and happy, Ximenqing has been in a hurry in the past two days, after filling up the five hundred taels of silver that was blackened by Wu Zhi, not only did his wife's jewelry be sold by himself, but even his ancestral crude medicine shop was taken out and had no money to buy, and he was busy reversing the financial situation of the pharmacy in the past two days, and he couldn't take care of Pan Jinlian at all.
In fact, watching Wu Zhi swallow his own five hundred taels of silver, he could only stare dryly, helpless, Ximen Qing could only grit his teeth secretly, although the silver could not be returned, but he was determined that he would never let Wu Dalang have a better time in the future, and he must kill his restaurant and kill him!
With the regret for the silver and the hatred for Wu Zhi, Ximen Qing even looked at Pan Jinlian with disgust, he was just greedy for Pan Jinlian's beauty, not really like her, if the five hundred taels of silver were successfully brought back, it would be good to say, at this moment the silver will never come back, and Ximen Qing thought that he actually spent five hundred taels to buy a woman, or someone else's wife, and was immediately annoyed.
Although Pan Jinlian was grateful to him and gentle to him, Ximenqing would think of his silver as soon as he saw Pan Jinlian, and as soon as he thought of the silver, he would insult and beat Pan Jinlian, and he was not willing to stay here for a second longer.
But after all, Pan Jinlian spent a lot of money to buy it, and it was so beautiful, he was reluctant to give it away, so he could only secretly plan to wait for Wu Dalang to be killed and the psychological shadow was eliminated, and then he would continue to enjoy this beauty.
Poor Pan Jinlian thought that she had finally found Ruyi Langjun, but now she is not only more lonely and helpless, but also has to endure the beating and abuse of Ximenqing, which can't help but make her more and more reminiscent of the dull days of the past and Wu Dalang.
The more she thinks about Wu Dalang, the more Pan Jinlian feels that she is cheap, all of this is self-inflicted, and now she still thinks that Wu Dalang is not cheap, what is it? With this in mind, Pan Jinlian can only wash her face with tears every day......
"Daguan, I've already inquired, then Wu Dalang's restaurant will open tomorrow!" In the living room of Ximen Qing's mansion, a young man in Tsing Yi smiled at Ximen Qingyin, who was sitting at the end.
This little guy is Ximenqing's captive minions, Ximenqing can walk sideways in this Yanggu County, in addition to clinging to the dots, it is also inseparable from a group of brave and ruthless so-called doormen he raised, this little guy is one of the responsible for listening to the news.
"Humph! Do you know who will be there tomorrow? "Ximenqing is not a reckless person, if there is a magistrate at the time of opening, then he will never dare to make a mistake.
"Don't worry, the big officials have already inquired clearly, except for a group of people under the county government Wu Song, no one else participated, and the county lord recently had a strange illness and died, and a restaurant of Wu Dalang, who sells cakes, is open, and the county will never go!" The little guy seemed to understand Ximenqing's worries and said flatteringly.
"Hmm!" Ximen Qing nodded, he felt that he was a little too careful, a little Wu Dalang, even if the only son of the county magistrate was not sick, he would not go to him, why should he worry about this. "You said that Wu Dalang's restaurant is open, what kind of gift should we give him?"
Ximen Qing asked the little guy with a cold evil smile, as if he had already planned when he asked.
"Hey!" The little guy nodded knowingly, and said with a wicked smile: "All the restaurants are lucky when they open, and they have a good reputation, as long as we ruin his auspiciousness and stink his reputation, then his restaurant will be considered to be the end." ”
"Then, how can you spoil his auspiciousness and stink his reputation?"
"Hehe, it's simple, as long as he finds someone to pull a cart of fresh original pig manure and pour it at the door of his restaurant, it can ruin his auspiciousness and stink his guests! I'm afraid that no one will be able to eat in his restaurant! ”
"Hahaha! Good! Wonderful! ”
The little guy spoke unhurriedly, and Ximen Qing, who listened directly, clapped his hands again and again! This method is really disgusting and simple, and it is really a good idea for Ximenqing!
Let's not say that it will stink away the guests, when the restaurant opens, it will be auspicious, and this next car of filthy original pig manure is poured at the door of the restaurant, and all auspiciousness is gone.
And although this kind of thing is a little lacking in morality, it is not illegal, and it can be implemented blatantly, even if it is found by Wu Dalang, there is nothing to be done about him, Wu Dalang can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!
Thinking of the annoying Wu Dalang's unspeakable appearance, Ximenqing was happy again, this is just the beginning, offended me Ximenqing, but it's not just as simple as the restaurant going to close down!
Wait, Wu Dalang, it won't be long before I'll make your life worse than death!
