A good dream woke up in the morning, Zhen Qian, who got up the next day, finished washing, stretched his body, and exercised every day, and now his body no longer has the appearance of being weak and windy, although he does not have the luxury of hoping to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, but he will not become a burden to others.

Three days of lively Lantern Festival lantern show past, the early morning air is still filled with a faint smell of burning, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is most worried about the fire, last night I heard the shouts of the officials outside, noise, screams one after another, I don't know where the fire was caused again.

Zhen Qian is not worried that the fire will burn to the drunken immortal building, it is really hard to say whether the fang market in the Tang Dynasty city can prevent theft, but the effect of fire prevention is nothing to say, even if the neighborhood market is burned out, there is a high wall blocking the fang market next to it, and you can definitely sleep with peace of mind.

Zhan He, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, stood at the door early in the morning, and when he saw that Zhen Qian was about to go back to the room, he followed over and put a stack of thick account books on the table, erected it on the side and said: "This is the account from the opening to today, please take a look!" ”

Now Zhen Qian no longer has the habit of doing everything himself, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't, he raised his hand and pushed the account book and said: "Don't bother me with these things, you can tell me about the situation of Zuixian Mansion in person, and if there are any other difficulties, you might as well speak up?" ”

Zuixianlou has now opened five in various places, and there are more than 100 other large and small industries that cannot be put on the table, if you add some shareholding industries, the number will increase several times, and now it is a period of rapid expansion of assets, and now Zhen Qian's property is dozens of times more than at the beginning.

At this time, Zhen Qian's energy alone could not take care of it at all, so according to the model of the big consortium in later generations, a management group was formed, which spread over most of the north, some of them were responsible for collecting market information in various places, some were responsible for auditing accounts and mobilizing funds, and some were secretly monitoring the changes in the industry.

However, as the shopkeeper of the Yangzhou branch of Zuixianlou, Zhan He didn't know this completely, and instinctively thought that when the owner came here, he would definitely look at the account books of previous years, which is also something that every owner often does, but unfortunately Zhen Qian is not an ordinary person.

Zhan He naturally did not see Zhen Qian for the first time, but this was the first time he saw Zhen Qian in Yangzhou, and it had been more than half a year since the incident, and he felt that he would inevitably report the situation of Zuixianlou in Yangzhou again, "Zuixianlou operated well in Yangzhou last year, and has successfully ranked among the top ten restaurants in Yangzhou, with a turnover of 23,613 yuan last year and a net profit of 6,936 guan ......."

Zhen Qian listened to Zhan He's narration and poured a cup of black tea for Zhan He, although he had already seen Zhan He's report from Zuixianlou last year, but since Zhan He wanted to say it again in person, he didn't want to stop it.

After Zhan He introduced the business situation of Zuixianlou last year, the next thing is Zhan He's vision for the future development of Zuixianlou, these are the format standards that Zhen Qian asked the shopkeepers to report everywhere, just like the official document format of later generations, but there is no dregs and bloated and gorgeous words, you can see accurate data on it, you can see your thoughts and existing problems for the future, and even the table is a common way of financial records in later generations.

"There are nearly 100 restaurants in Yangzhou, and the scope and variety of business are even more extensive. During this period of our development in Yangzhou, there are many restaurants that have launched similar dishes to us, and even have their own special varieties, even the frost cold drink we just launched last year has been imitated by some people, and a restaurant opened two months ago also copied the dishes and styles of our restaurant, I heard that it is a joint venture of several maritime merchants, and if we don't come up with a new way to deal with it, we will be left behind! ”

In these years, many secrets can't be kept, and the decision-making that is still discussed in the court in the morning, the minister has not yet gone to the court, and the chickens and dogs have been rumored in the capital, and the entire Tang Dynasty is like a grass house that leaks everywhere, and anyone can inquire about the news they want.

After the introduction of new dishes in Zuixianlou, some people despised it at first, but after seeing it, they immediately started to peep, and the stir-fry itself did not have much technical content, some restaurants quickly learned the cooking methods of new dishes, the difference is only the grasp of heat and ingredients, as long as they are given a period of time to study, they will soon be able to surpass Zuixianlou.

In terms of secrecy, Zuixianlou has been at the forefront of the Tang Dynasty, but it can't stand the awareness of people in this era who have no sense of secrecy, in addition to the most core technology, the advantages of Zuixianlou have gradually shrunk, it is very likely that before getting the new cuisine technology of Zuixianlou, you can study your own unique way of cooking, which may be the origin of the eight cuisines!

What Zhan He couldn't guess was that the restaurant that made Zhan He jealous was the result of Zhen Shi trying to win over maritime merchants behind the scenes.

Since you know that you can't prevent it sooner or later, it is better to push the boat down the river to promote the new cooking method, one can expand the influence of Zuixianlou in the catering industry, and the other can put an end to the prying eyes of other restaurants, and you can also fish in troubled waters to divert the attention of others.

It's just that these things can't be told to Zhan He, so he can only be frightened alone, Zhen Qian was silent in his heart for three minutes!

"It is unrealistic to keep the culinary secrets of Zuixianlou's dishes forever, we can only continue to innovate in the dishes, rather than standing still. I've already thought about it, and after a while, several restaurants around the world chefs communicate with each other, Zuixianlou has new dishes launched in restaurants around the country, one person counts short, two people count, and when the chefs around the world communicate once, the dishes of Zuixianlou will go to a higher level! ”

"That's great!"

Dishes are originally a process of continuous innovation and integration, Yangzhou Zuixian Lou combined with the taste of the local people has also launched some special dishes, Zuixian Lou has its own special dishes in line with the taste of the locals, but this is not to say that the dishes in other places can not adapt to the taste of the locals, Yangzhou's braised fish is very famous, and Fanyang's roast mutton is also very popular in Yangzhou, or Taiyuan's lamb has long become a local must, the chain reaction caused by the cooking of new dishes even Zhen Qian did not expect, Even the dishes launched by some restaurants are not much inferior to Zuixianlou, and they have also been absorbed and accepted by Zuixianlou, which is an unexpected change in food culture in various places.

Zhan He put forward some rationalization suggestions, and even wanted some singers and Hu Nu to enter the Zuixian Building, increase the variety of soju, and introduce light liquor suitable for drinking in Yangzhou's hot and dry weather in summer, these are not necessarily good strategies, but Zhen Qian still listened carefully to Zhan He's suggestions.
