Separating the pot and stove and stir-frying on the fire, this is what Fan Jin has always thought, but it will take a while to implement. And it also depends on the region, for example, in Guangdong, it is still famous by relying on fan fish and hot pot, and it is not easy to succeed by stir-frying. This time, Youlanju can be regarded as his bold attempt to invent several famous dishes in Jiangning in the later generations, at least to ensure that diners will not be picky, and the rest is to explore the way with stir-fried dishes.

The Ming Dynasty is still a combination of pots and stoves, and Fan Jin's way of separating pots and stoves makes it possible to fry on high heat. Judging by the response of diners, this change has been a success as expected. Not only is the table applauded by everyone, but the response from other tables is also good.

Ma Xianglan, as the boss, naturally came out to greet the guests. She was originally a master of the entertainment scene, and some of the rich people here were also her guests, so everyone naturally had something to say when they met, and they would not be cold.

When she toasted at all tables, her head was a little dizzy, and she came to the backyard to think about going to drink, but suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed her arm. It was a man's hand, warm and powerful.

Barely thinking about it, she raised her leg and kicked it between the man's legs, opening her mouth to shout. The restaurant opened by a group of girls is from that kind of background, so it is natural to prevent men from taking the opportunity to commit violence here. There are also thugs in the restaurant, all of whom are female dart masters of Mingfeng Dart Company, and no one will end well in this apprenticeship.

doesn't want a man's means to be extremely clever, Ma Xianglan's leg kicked in the air, the person lost his balance and was hugged into his arms, and even the voice of shouting was violently extinguished by the other party's lips. When she saw the face of the person who came, Ma Xianglan's resistance turned into cooperation, and she only lightly punched the man on the shoulder twice as a sign of her dissatisfaction.

It wasn't until the two separated that the man smiled and said, "Siniang is so ruthless, she will tear down the ancestral hall when they meet." ”

"You bad thing's ancestral hall should have been demolished a long time ago! It's scary to hide without a sound, and I should have met Dengzi. You didn't greet the little grandfather in front, why did you get here? Could it be ......" Ma Xianglan's beautiful eyes turned, and a wicked smile appeared on her face, "The woman in the kitchen who is your brother-in-law, you won't also worry about it." ”

It was naturally Fan Jin who launched the attack here, and he smiled and took Ma Xianglan's arm, "In this restaurant, I only have you in mind, you are satisfied." I saw that you drank too much, and I was afraid that you would be uncomfortable, so come, I will help you to drink. ”

Ren Fanjin drank wine for her, and wiped the filth from the corners of her mouth for her, Ma Xianglan enjoyed this favor recklessly. He is more than ten years older than Fan Jin, and he should spoil him. But after the two got along, she always felt that she was back to her youth, still the teenage little Oiran, and she enjoyed this kind of pampering more and more, this is probably greed, right?

Although she was out of the wine, she was still leaning on Fan Jin's arms, Fan Jin's arms wrapped around her waist, and the two hugged each other tightly. The sound of bamboo and laughter in the restaurant drifted into the backyard along the wind, but it was peaceful, and a doorway was like a moat separating the two worlds. One is the hustle and bustle of the world, and the other is a paradise for two.

Fan Jin whispered, "Why did you react so much just now?" If it were someone else, most of them would be beaten to death by you. I learned this trick from those female dart heads, right? I've heard that you learned self-defense skills from them, and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's too ruthless to shoot and it's easy to get killed. ”

"I used to only dance and not practice martial arts, and it was too late to learn martial arts, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't practice like Wu'er. If you want not to be bullied by men, you have to practice some fast and accurate methods. So I learned a few of the most ruthless tricks, if I didn't see the face clearly, I would be ready to pull out the hairpin and stab people. In fact, I have a dagger on me, and I learned it from everyone, called Shouzhen Dagger. If it is won by a man, it will be doomed together! Ma Xianglan's voice was also very low, and only the two of them could hear it:

"I'm different from those sisters outside, some of them still think they're doing a living in the past, and they use the restaurant as a place to meet Kuke, and I don't care about them anymore. But I won't do that myself, I want to be a woman of a good family, and open a shop that only sells wine, and nothing else. So from the very beginning, I couldn't give men the illusion that I would rather offend the guests than let them think that I had a chance. ”

"Well, I've got your back! But you can't die, if anyone really bullies you, I'll give you anger. I'm a big man, I'll be angry for you, and I can't do it yourself. ”

Ma Xianglan shook her head and said, "So what? What should have happened happened happened. Just like Rouge, I had a good impression of her, and I wanted to make friends with her, but I didn't expect to go like this. Luo Wu refuses to sue, in fact, I understand his psychology, what can I do if I sue? Rouge is always dead, he can't come back, he makes things bigger, he himself has no face, and in the end people will only say that he is a turtle. What's more, Rouge committed suicide, and he was a slave of the Yang family, and his master slept with a girl from his own family, what crime could he be convicted of? I'm the same, even if you convict that man, I can't live, I'm still fighting hard. ”

"It's harder for us to be good people than others. Back then, my bustard mother said that if you enter this industry, unless you don't get dirty, you will never be clean for the rest of your life. Even if you go ashore in the future, when a man sees you, he still thinks that you have a loose belt and will do everything possible to bargain with you, and will not have the slightest respect for you. If you want to do it, you will throw away some money and say that you are doing this. I don't know if this will happen in this restaurant in the future, but I will never allow it to happen to me. ”

Fan Jin kissed her face lovingly: "Don't worry, Siniang, I will protect you, whoever dares to touch you, I will kill him." Luo Wu didn't know what to think, in fact, even if he killed Yang Shida with a knife, I would only sentence him to exile, and I would not ask him to resist his life. If I come to complain, I will try my best to give him justice, he is not doing anything now, I can't help him. But I'm definitely not like him, I will definitely stay by your side, and I won't let people bully you. ”

Ma Xianglan sighed secretly in her heart, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future. Even after he got along with Wang Zhideng, he was also slept with by other men. But now she doesn't even want to be hugged by a man, and when she is entertaining today, she almost engraves the chastity archway on her head. This emotion is very dangerous, and I should stay away from him, but now...... How can I get away with it?

"The sisters who came to help the field today are not only righteous, but also have their own plans. Including Wang Xuexiao, many people gave me money to invest in the restaurant, preparing to leave a way out for themselves in the future. After all, our bowl of rice is the scenery of those years, especially here in Jiangning, there are talents from all generations, and the competition for the leader of the Oiran industry is fierce, and the back waves push the front waves. When the days are over, it will be difficult, and it is too late to be good or they can't find a suitable one, and this restaurant is their place to settle down. In fact, no one is willing to be lowly and has to do that kind of business, but they are self-aware, and they know that if they leave that business, they can't support themselves. Now that the retreat has given them hope, everyone is grateful to you, and they also have more thoughts about the restaurant. ”

Ma Xianglan knew that the purpose of some of these women was not just to find a way out, but to use the restaurant to get close to Fan Jin. She didn't necessarily welcome it in her heart, but considering the relationship between the two, she felt that it was not a bad thing to let these women appear, and if they succeeded, the man would lose his feelings for him or eventually dislike him, maybe it would all be solved.

She didn't continue to talk to the two emotionally, and talked back to the restaurant. "Today, a few older sisters have asked me if I am welcome to come to the Youlan Pavilion to do things. I told them I couldn't be the master, so I had to ask you. After all, it's your business, it's up to you. ”

"Is it necessary to be so clear between you and me?" Fan Jin smiled: "It's good for you to have an idea, as long as you can endure hardships and are willing to endure hardships, I am willing to accept them here." If I can make a few slow three-tone sounds, I can't ask for them. ”

"She's more fierce than me, not only practicing cooking but also martial arts, and learning all the tricks of killing, so scary. She was working in the kitchen, and she was afraid that a man would rush in and cause trouble, and if anyone dared to come near her, she would kill someone. I can't imagine that the famous prodigal woman has now become a festival woman. That whole body of energy is used in cooking, and she has become a woman of a good family who washes her hands and makes soup, and this kind of person is hard to find, and it is not so easy to meet. ”

"Anyway, you just need to check it. How about it, today is the first day of opening, and the cards are okay for you, not to lose your Ma Siniang's face. ”

Ma Xianglan's body became weaker and weaker, and she took Fan Jin's hand and moved it to her chest. "Besides, your old man actually went to the kitchen to fry the vegetables, fried the vegetables until they were half-cooked, and only waited for three slow heating. Otherwise, with her craftsmanship alone, I am afraid that she may not be able to hold up the scene. Your hands are hands that carry a pen and write, how can you do such a rough thing. Those guests outside would not have thought that more than half of the dishes they ate were fried by your county master. How can I repay this kindness? ”

"It's too raw to say this, this is an industry that belongs to the two of us, I have my own share, how can I let it go? Besides, the craftsmanship of the silver beads is not as bad as you think, and you have tasted it when you tried it, in fact, it is enough to pick the beam. It's just that I did it myself for the sake of safety, and she will be competent enough to do it herself in the future. Today's opening banquet doesn't count, it's all about human kindness and face, is there a real gain? ”

"Master Chuanyun did it himself, how could there be no gain? Today, I received the banquet order and received a soft hand. originally thought that if he became a monk halfway, he would be Amitabha Buddha without losing his money, and if he didn't do it, he would have to borrow the guise of a restaurant to make a living. Unexpectedly, the people who booked the banquet had been lined up for two months, and some yamen wanted to order a meal from here. Several of the people who ate today are the masters of the six yamen, the kind that counts. They were very interested in the stir-fried food that they had studied, and they were very satisfied with the business and price of the food delivery that you came up with. On the spot, he ordered a few months of rice for his yamen. They just felt that the price was set too low, less than their own food silver, and they were afraid that they would lose money. Took the initiative to raise my money, and it was even with their food expenses. ”

"That's because they're afraid that they won't be able to explain it well, who hasn't counted that little thing in the official canteen? Let them go, not to miss those few little bucks. Sending a package of rice to the six yamen, this is a good thing that can't be grabbed, how can it lose money? When the time comes, remember to wear the clothes I designed, all of which are written on Youlanju. As long as everyone sees that the beauties of Youlanju can send rice to Liubu, it is the biggest benefit. If you want to entrust someone to do something, you naturally know where to dredge the joints, and just by forming this good fate, it is enough to enjoy it. ”

Ma Xianglan said: "What kind of rice is this rice bowl that retreats from thinking, but it is actually very cheap. Anyway, it is only for the yamen, not for the people, so as not to lower our grade. Looking at the current momentum, Jiangning's restaurant can be beaten by us, and the business is so good, I am afraid that our peers will look at us unpleasantly, and it will be difficult for us to partner. ”

Fan Jin snorted coldly: "Whatever they want." I can also think of a way they can use, except for stealing teachers is to reduce the price. Stealing teachers and poaching will definitely not be possible, and Yinzhu will not go with them. As for the price reduction, I'm not afraid, who cares about the little money in the rich businessmen in the city? The more the price is reduced, the more it can't be sold, what everyone wants is face, who eats bargains? Find government forces to seize ...... One of the owners of this restaurant is me, and the other is the little grandfather, we are the biggest government, who can do anything to us. ”

"yes, it's a great way to think back......"

Ma Xianglan smiled and felt the strength of the man's hand on her chest, and her eyes gradually blurred. For many years, he has been in the Qinglou, like a rootless wanderer, being fought over by countless powerful men every day, and his fate has always been manipulated by others. From the bottom of her heart, she was desperate to have a pair of strong arms to embrace her, protect her, and support her. Wang Zhideng is talented and powerful, obviously does not meet this requirement, and the two are more like a mutual appreciation. Now that such a man has appeared, no matter what she thinks in her heart, it is an indisputable fact that her dependence on Fan Jin's backer is increasing day by day.

She said softly: "A few people outside the party want to invite me to have a drink, please invite me to invite a banquet on your behalf, you can set the time, and the location is here." The banquet is arranged by me, and there is no bargaining for money. Do you think this business will be accepted or not? ”

Fan Jin smiled: "This is a business that gives money for nothing, why don't you take it?" One of the tricks of our restaurant to make money is this. Those people want to find me to accommodate things, but they are afraid that it will be inconvenient to go to the yamen, and some of them have eaten and touched nails at my place, so they have to find your way. In the future, this restaurant will only do this, and you can make a fortune. In fact, I have a lot of ideas to get rich, little by little, I am not afraid of no money to make. ”

Fan Jin's positioning of Youlanju is not just a restaurant, in his concept, after the restaurant, a theater can be built here in the future. Let those women who can perform but refuse to endure hardships to be buddies are specifically responsible for the performance. Open another teahouse, engage in a theme model operation, and then open some clothing, rouge gouache and jewelry stores, all of which use these Qinglou women who want to be good as service personnel, so as to drive the women's employment trend in the Ming Dynasty.

At present, although there is a group of self-combing women in the Ming Dynasty, the total number is very small, and the area occupied is also limited. Most women are still dependent on men, unable to be financially self-reliant and otherwise insecure. If you can break through the path of women's business, not only can you free up a large amount of labor, but it is also a pleasing thing for yourself.

What's more, in the business of women's clothing, clothing and other goods, using female *** staff obviously has more advantages than men. In terms of sales promotion or introduction, it is definitely more convenient.

He didn't dare to spread the stall too big, also considering the financial pressure. Now that there is a lot of money from the Mu family, and the restaurant business is so prosperous, the funds will be returned quickly, and the next thing can be considered.

After all, with an official body, it is convenient to do things. The idea of catering service, which I had considered in Jingshi, was difficult to advance without an official body. Now it can be said that heaven and earth are working together, and naturally there is a stage and ability to show their strengths.

Ma Xianglan knew that if these ideas were rolled out, not only herself, but also those fireworks sisters would have a way out in the future. She gently broke free from Fan Jin's embrace and bowed down to Fan Jinying: "Xianglan Dai Yigan sister thanked the great kindness of retreat, and also thanked the women of Jiangning for the mercy of retreat." Whether this happens or not, you are the benefactor of our women! ”
