The next two days were the Cold Food Festival and the Qingming Festival, and his mother took Li Shan to sweep the tomb. I saw that outside the village, there were several bare graves, but there was no inscription on the tablet. Li Shangang wanted to ask his mother, and then he understood that his father was still a sinner, although he was amnesty to the world, but if this crime was not removed, it would be difficult for the spirit of heaven to turn a blind eye after all.

I can't go to the city for the past two days, and Li Shan also took advantage of this time to plan a fortune. The inspiration for the plan naturally came from the Yuelai Restaurant that day. After a meal, Li Shan was amazed by the business model and architectural design of Yuelai Restaurant, although the taste of the food was not very good. However, in Li Shan's view, there are still many things that need to be improved. Li Shan will definitely not make money for others, of course he has to do such a good deal himself. Although Li Shan in his previous life was not a catering, he had never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Modern marketing thinking, if you can't play the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, then the progress of civilization for more than a thousand years will not be in vain. Moreover, Li Shan was also a top foodie in his previous life, although he was not a chef, but he also had a few unique skills.

After the Qingming Festival, Li Shan got up early in the morning and prepared to discuss the partnership with Sun Helian, this rich and noble son is the main member, and the background must be hard enough to finance and open a store, and the son of Jingzhou who joined the army is a shareholder, there is no better choice than this. Otherwise, how do you think that the shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant at that time would ruthlessly buy Li Shan's words for twenty taels of silver, it was completely for the sake of Lord Sun and Lord Liu. In the future, Zhang Yanzhao and the Zhao brothers can only run errands, and it is Sun Helian and Liu Ruyan who want to support the scene, and it is estimated that these two people have a lot of private money in their hands, Li Shan has to find a way to set it all up, and it is a big expense to run a restaurant, how can he do it without money.

I was so excited about drinking last time that I forgot to ask for the address. But fortunately, the mansion where the record joined the army was still not difficult to find, and Li Shan inquired all the way to the door of the Sun Mansion. The Sun family has been an official for generations, and this mansion is naturally very magnificent, and the two small servants in front of the door also look domineering. It is estimated that it is common for those high-ranking officials and nobles to see a lot, and those gentry who come to visit them are respectful to them, not to mention a poor scholar.

As soon as Li Shan walked to the door, before he could speak, a small guy shouted: "Alas, what are you doing, this is where you came?" Hurry up and stay where it is cool. "Damn, it's so horizontal, Li Shan's heart is about to attack when he is angry, but after thinking about it, no, if this little guy doesn't report it, he really can't get in. Then he greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand and said, "Little brother, if you have something to do with your father-in-law, Sun Helian, please report it." The little guy was also very rampant: "Yo, boy, who do you think you are?" When I see our son-in-law, I don't look at your identity, don't be close here, hurry up, if you don't leave, I'll pump you. "Little brother, forgive me, I just said something wrong, I am a fellow villager of your grandson's grandson and Sun Fu, if there is an urgent matter at home, please report it, saying that Li Shan has come to see him." Li Shan smiled again and handed over a string of copper coins. Money can make ghosts grind, the little guy took the copper coins and counted them roughly, about a dozen, enough for him to drink a beautiful meal, and he no longer drove Li Shan, and said without saltiness: "Wait." He turned around and entered the gate of the Sun Mansion. Li Shan looked at the little guy who walked away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the power of the people of the Tang Dynasty is not worse than that of the 21st century! It's just that this kid deserves your bad luck, why do you want to touch my bad head.

After a while, I saw Sun Fu trotting out, panting and saying, "Gongzi Li is here, I am not welcome, my young master is talking with Mrs. Tai, you go to the mansion for a while." Seeing this scene, Sun Fu let Li Shan into Sun's mansion, and turned around and slapped the little guy on the head, and shouted: "Li Gongzi is the young master's distinguished guest, how dare you slack off, see if I don't let Mr. Wang clean you up." In the little guy's complaining eyes, Li Shan walked into Sun's mansion.

"Oh, Brother Li, you're here. How about it, I'll take you to a good place today, Brother Li is a talented man, and he will definitely be satisfied! Li Shangang sat in the living room for a while, and then listened to Sun Helian rushing over, and his eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, revealing an expression that a man understands. Li Shan felt a chill, and hurriedly pressed Sun Helian, who was still gesturing, and said, "Brother Sun, don't worry, this matter will be discussed later, the younger brother came this time because he had something important to discuss with Brother Sun." ”

Li Shan said the idea of opening a restaurant, Sun Helian looked at Li Shan and said, "This business is not the work of the scholars." Besides, you and I are not good at this, Brother Li don't think that Yuelai Restaurant is so popular, this is not something that ordinary people can do more, the big owner of Yuelai Restaurant is a famous rich businessman Wang Yuanbao in Beijing. I heard that today Zi personally met Wang Yuanbao and said that he was rich and rivaled the country. ”

Unexpectedly, his confident proposal was hit one after another, and Li Shan was very depressed. However, he was still very confident in himself, and said: "Brother Sun, this is not confident in the little brother, no matter what, the little brother should show a hand or two, so that Brother Sun can rest assured." Walk. Sun Helian was stunned for a moment: "Brother Li, what are you going to do?" Li Shan pulled Sun Helian to the backyard: "Kitchen, junior brother will show you real cooking skills." "Ahh It's better not to, if Brother Li wants to eat, why don't we go to Yuelai Restaurant again, so why should Brother Li do it himself. Sun Helian obviously has no confidence in Li Shan's cooking skills.

An hour later, Sun Helian held his round belly and said: "Brother Li is really a genius in the world, not only is he talented, but this cooking skill is a must, this super, super, what is Brother Li called." "Super Invincible Underwater Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" "Yes, this Super Invincible Underwater Buddha Jumping over the Wall is really the most delicious dish Sun has eaten over the years." ”

Li Shan said with a smile: "Where is it, where is this, but it's a pity that your dishes here are not complete, and there are few seasonings, plus the time is in a hurry, this dish doesn't even have one-tenth of its final taste, if you have eaten the full version of Buddha jumping over the wall, you will definitely be able to eat your tongue." Also, there are other good dishes that I haven't cooked yet. How is it, do you have some confidence in opening a restaurant now? ”

Buddha jumping over the wall, the authentic practice is to first put the sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, turtle skirt, deer tendons, pigeon eggs, duck treasures, fish maw, pigeons, pork ribs, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and so on 18 kinds of raw materials respectively using frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying a variety of methods, concocted into a variety of flavors with frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying characteristics, and then layer by layer stacked in a Shaoxing wine jar, inject an appropriate amount of soup and Shaoxing wine, so that the soup, wine, vegetables are fully integrated, and then the mouth of the altar is sealed with lotus leaves and covered tightly, and placed on the fire to heat. The use of fire is also very particular, it is necessary to choose white charcoal that is solid and heavy and does not smoke, first boil on the fire, and then slowly simmer for five or six hours on the simmer, and then it is done.

With such an elaborate dish, Li Shan naturally couldn't make it. However, in his previous life, Li Shan was also a first-class foodie, and he also practiced good cooking skills in the few years he lived alone, and the cooking level of the Tang Dynasty was really not very good. Therefore, Li Shan's scraped together this fake Buddha made of ready-made river fresh, rice wine and several unknown vegetables jumped over the wall and captured Sun Helian's stomach at once. Sun Helian heard Li Shan say that there was something more delicious, and his eyes lit up and said: "Brother Li, you say, what you want to do, I will fully cooperate with you." ”

Li Shan began to talk about his business philosophy: "This first step is called market research, first of all, we have to find out the market rules of Jingzhou, the people who eat belong to several classes, the consumption power of each class and their dietary preferences." The second is to find a suitable location, the location of the restaurant is very particular, you see that the place chosen by Yuelai Restaurant is very good, close to Changhu. One can eat and drink while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake. I also have to choose the ingredients, and the dishes I want to make are difficult to satisfy with the current ingredients, so I have to find them myself. By the way, does Brother Sun know where there are Hu merchants who sell spices? ”

Sun Helian listened to Li Shan's nonsense, and he didn't understand what it meant at all, but he didn't care whether he understood it or not, as long as he could eat such delicious things in the future, it didn't matter what else mattered, and said: "Spices, you have to go to the city to buy them." This piece of willow girl should know that her father is the city order. Speaking of Miss Liu, Sun Helian changed his face like a pig brother again. Li Shan shook his head again and again and said, "That's easy, you and I will go to Liufu together, and I just want to ask Miss Liu to work together." ”

Sun Helian shook his head again and again after hearing this, "How could Miss Liu be willing to do such a thing as such an elegant person." Or would it be better if we built a restaurant and invite her to come and drink and eat together, play the piano and compose poems? Miss Liu will definitely be impressed by the two of us by then, hehe. ”

Li Shan looked at the incorrigible Sun Helian and said helplessly: "Brother Sun, do you know what is the most urgent need now?" Sun Helian said with a blank face: "I don't know, please also ask Brother Li for advice." Li Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Money! Buying a restaurant can cost a lot of silver, and you also need to buy all kinds of kitchen utensils and tableware, and recruit chefs, shopkeepers, dancing girls, and so on. Counting these, I'm afraid it will cost more than four or five hundred taels. ”

"Shhh...... So much! "You must know that his father Sun Boyuan's annual income is only fifty taels, although there must be some gray income, but it is enough to explain the problem. Sun Helian usually spends money lavishly, and his monthly expenses are only two taels of silver.
