Outside the door of Lingyun Pavilion, there was a long queue of guests waiting to enter the store.

Cao Shuo asked, "Go into the store and say, is there any room in the store?" ”

"Yes!" The steward said: "The private room where the son went last time was usually empty for five yuan to book a room. ”

"Five pennies?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "Are you crazy about money?" It's so expensive, the ghost will book that private room. ”

That's enough money for him to buy half a horse!

"Originally, it only cost half a penny." The steward said: "Because the son has been there, he will receive five hangings." ”

"Don't tell me someone really will." Cao Shuo said.

"There are really people who order it." The steward said: "There are still a lot of people who book, a few days ago, the son was not in Xudu, and someone would book that private room every two days." ”

"It's really money to burn." Cao Shuo said: "Since the private room is empty, let's go and sit." ”

"Do you want to find a few beauties from the Western Regions to accompany you?" The steward said: "In the past few days, two beauties from the Great Qin Kingdom have come, and I haven't let them pick up the guests until now. ”

The so-called Great Qin State in the Eastern Han Dynasty was Rome.

The Romans were very fond of the silk of the Central Plains, and although it was during the war, the caravans on the Silk Road never stopped coming.

The caravan brought silk, tea and many specialties from the Central Plains to Rome, and also brought back many things that the Central Plains people liked from Rome.

The beauty of Daqin is the characteristic of the Western Regions that many nobles are hard to find.

"The beauty of the Great Qin Kingdom?" Cao Shuo smiled: "I don't think I need it, I spend so much to get two beauties, how many do you think the guests who come here will want them?" ”

"There are a lot of people who want it." The steward said, "It's just that the son hasn't seen it yet, so he didn't let them receive guests." ”

"If there are beauties in the future, you don't have to show me." Cao Shuo said: "I don't have much interest in women who can get it with money. ”

The steward responded, stepped aside and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, please!" ”

Entering Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo found that there were customers at every table in the store, and many customers were waiting in line for others to eat and leave.

"There are a lot of people who come here to eat now, or are you looking for a beautiful puppet?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's a lot!" The steward said: "Looking for beauties, we can receive them here." For eating, if the cost is too small, Lingyun Pavilion will not receive it. ”

"The shopkeeper is talking about yours!" Cao Shuo said with a smile.

The steward responded with a smile on his face and led them up to the third floor.

From the first floor to the third floor, each floor is full of guests.

In other taverns, customers are often noisy because of the slowness of the dishes.

The guests of Lingyun Pavilion are different.

Many guests waited for a long time, but the dishes were still not delivered.

They weren't impatient, they just waited silently.

Occasionally, one or two of them would ask the guy a question, and after getting a reply that would be sent soon, they wouldn't ask any more.

"By the way, put some of your dishes on small plates." Before entering the private room, Cao Shuo instructed the steward: "I want to taste it." ”

"I'll let someone pick it up." After the steward answered, he beckoned a fellow and said, "Go and get some new dishes from the store for your son to taste, all on small plates, not too much." ”

The man went downstairs.

Entering the private room, Cao Shuo sat down in the first seat, and Wang Yan sat next to him.

The steward stood with his bow to the side.

"What's the matter, say it!" After sitting down, Cao Shuo said slowly.

"Childe, I've taken down all the shops nearby." The steward said.

"I know, I've seen it." Cao Shuo asked, "Are you going to expand the Lingyun Pavilion and connect several buildings to make it the largest tavern in Xudu?" ”

"Exactly!" The steward said, "There is one more thing. ”

"Say!"

"The steward of Mochizuki Tower came to me and said that they wanted to run the business with us......" The steward peeked at Cao Shuo.

"You're not going to leak the menu, are you?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Without Childe's orders, how dare I." The steward was frightened, and a cold sweat broke down his spine.

"Don't even think about joint management." Cao Shuo said: "Doing business is like going to the battlefield, the strong survive and the weak perish, and now that their business is not good, they want to run it with you." When they get the menu, there will be nothing to do with your Lingyun Pavilion. ”

"Childe said it thoroughly, and I will refuse it later." The steward answered.

"Tell them that it's impossible to run together, but Mochizuki Tower can't be operated, so they can sell it." Cao Shuo said: "Don't forget, you are competitors. As long as you take the lead, don't give your opponent any chance to turn the tables, otherwise you will be the one who will be destroyed in the end! ”

"Childe taught a lesson!" The steward hurriedly responded.

After a while, the guy brought the dishes of Lingyun Pavilion.

The guards guarding the door stopped the man and entered the room with the dishes.

Looking at the color of the dishes, Cao Shuo said: "The standard for testing the dishes is that they are both color, flavor, and color, and your dishes are gray in color, to be honest, the first level is not enough." After sniffing it, he shook his head and said, "There is no fragrance, and the heat is not good." ”

The steward was covered in a cold sweat by what he said.

It was because of the introduction of new dishes that Lingyun Pavilion's business became booming.

I thought Cao Shuo would praise a few words, but I didn't expect to find so many faults before I tasted it.

After tasting it, Cao Shuo pushed the dish to Wang Yan: "You taste it." ”

Wang Yan obediently took a bite of the dish, and Cao Shuo asked, "How is it?" Is it delicious or not? ”

"Delicious!" Wang Yan said: "I have never eaten such a delicious dish. ”

was praised by Wang Yan, and the steward breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Shuo's next words made him immediately raise his heart to his throat.

"What a fart!" Cao Shuo said: "It's just a little oil past, what should I pay attention to when I told you to stir-fry?" Forgot it all? How much oil, how to grasp the heat, and how to choose the ingredients, what should not be pondered? ”

Standing with his head bowed, large beads of sweat oozed from the steward's forehead.

"What is going on?" Cao Shuo said: "Do you want me to fry two dishes for you to see?" ”

"No, you don't! No! The steward hurriedly replied.

"Let the guy study the dishes carefully." Cao Shuo said: "I also told you how to make sauce, how to mix the sauce when stir-frying and cooking, you let the guy grasp it." The recipe for the dish can be tried, and if it fails, it's a big deal to let them eat it themselves. Sell this garbage to customers, a year or two, once everyone else has mastered the skill, what do you expect to be invincible? ”

Cao Shuo stood up, walked to the door and said to the steward, "Originally, I wanted you to send some food back, but I was disappointed too much. Next time, I don't want the dishes to be so hard to swallow! ”

"Don't worry, Childe, it will never be like this next time!" The steward was soaked in cold sweat, and he bent his waist and couldn't stop talking.
