Waves of guests came from all over Chang'an, but as time went by, the guests no longer tried blindly, probably because they had eaten too much and caused their stomachs to be a little distended. But the booth of Yunshui Pavilion is an exception, and the lively "squirrel osmanthus fish" is placed on the stage, and everyone is attracted by the shape, and then can't help but want to taste it.

An hour later, Guiyu didn't know how many were sold, but I knew that seven of the dozen barrels were empty. Copper money made a lot of money, but the silver was only four taels.

Four taels of silver is the best in the neighborhood, but it is far from the comparison with many chefs in the most prosperous areas.

The guy who went to Yunshui Pavilion to inquire about the news came back and told Xu Yuan that the current maximum amount of silver had reached more than 300 taels, and the three restaurants that were also the four major restaurants had at least more than 100 taels of silver in their accounts. Compared to them, the situation in Yunshui Pavilion can be described as quite grim.

It's really helpless to be in this situation, the good or bad seats have a great impact, most of the rich people gather in places with a lot of people, because there are a lot of delicious food, even if Yunshui Pavilion is a little famous, rich people will not go too far because of a shop.

You must know that Suzaku Street is not a few hundred meters, but a full ten miles, and the sons and masters of large families are all very expensive, so do you want them to die of exhaustion from beginning to end?

The situation is grim, Xu Yuan is cooking silently, and she is not even in the mood to say a word, her goal this year is to enter at least the third round, and strive to be qualified in the third round. And now it's a little difficult to even the first round, how can you feel better? What's even more depressing is that it's not because of his bad food, but because he lost in his seat, which is indescribably depressed.

Similarly, Xia Shang also felt the pressure, but he didn't expect that the chefs of the four major restaurants in Beijing could not come out on top in this competition, and they were actually more than two hundred taels behind the leader! It can be seen that the ancient times did hide the dragon and the crouching tiger, maybe this competition can really meet the chef who makes him feel pressure.

You can't see it from afield, and now you can only pay attention to it, and you must stay ahead of the cooks around you, which is the only way to give yourself hope.

Although Yunshui Pavilion is far away from the First Army, it does not mean that there is no chance to advance. There are 50 people who passed the first round of the competition, as long as they win the 50th place, it is good, and the better ranking is just a gimmick.

After all, there are only a few who are lucky enough to get a large amount of silver, and even rich people will not rashly give a reward or two.

This is the same as the reward of readers of the novel network, after all, the people who are willing to reward are a minority, and most readers are paying attention in obscurity behind their backs. Those who are willing to reward either the story is wonderful to a certain extent, or they are invested in feelings, or they are familiar to readers.

Now the situation is actually the same, those who have no money can't give money, those who have money have eaten too many good foods, and they don't want to waste money if they don't have enough good dishes.

Thinking of modern novels, Xia Shang suddenly had an inspiration.

The main income of the author of the novel can never be the reader's tip, the subscription is the most important, but the few cents per person should not be underestimated, and the thousands of monthly income are accumulated from these few cents.

Today's competition should be the same, you shouldn't look forward to the silver, and your mind has to be used on how to make copper plates.

If you subscribe too much to a novel, it will attract rich readers, and as long as the novel is really good, this group of readers will naturally not be stingy.

The same is true for squirrel Guiyu, Xia Shang believes that as long as he can attract people, as long as he has money, he will not be stingy with a silver tael. Just like the current number one, it is rumored that the more silver he earns, the more people will be attracted to taste it, and his advantage will be infinitely expanded. Yunshui Pavilion can't sell the most silver, but it can sell the most copper plates, which can also arouse the curiosity of others.

If you want to talk about sales, the sales volume of the Yunshui Pavilion stall is really a lot, and the copper coin is filled with three wooden barrels, which is definitely unique in the surroundings, and I am afraid that it exceeds the total number of several combined.

Xia Shang was very satisfied with the current speed, so he didn't give any opinions.

But it didn't take long for Xu Yuan to ask Xia Shang with a sad brow: "Little Master, it's not a way to go on like this, we don't have many ingredients." I've heard that many of the participating chefs have started to selectively sell to customers, should we follow their example? ”

"No way!" Xia Shang hurriedly stopped.

"But if we continue like this, our Guiyu will be sold out, and there will be two or three hours in the future, what shall we sell?"

"We don't have much silver now, we just want to accumulate copper plates, accumulate popularity, let's put the copper money in front, let everyone see how much we have sold, as for what to sell after we sell out? I'll figure it out. ”

Lack of ingredients is a dilemma for all, and some people choose to reduce the speed of sales and selectively sell to customers who may be rewarded for money. Some people choose to restock quickly, but they can't find more suitable ingredients in a hurry.

Xia Shang's first thought was the space kitchen, where hundreds of sheep had been raised, and a dozen of them were enough to deal with. However, there were officers and soldiers guarding him, and the deputy could not leave the playing field. So cheating with a space kitchen won't work.

Learn from other families and let the guys hurry up to replenish the cinnamon fish? This obviously doesn't work, so many osmanthus fish don't know how long it has been acquired, and this is not a product of Chang'an.

What ingredients to supplement? Xia Shang was a little difficult.

Wandering around, the chefs around Mingdemen were all idle, because they didn't dare to sell things easily, only there was a queue around Yunshui Pavilion to taste. There seemed to be ridicule in the eyes of the onlookers, and they all felt that this kind of uncontrolled sales method would sooner or later make Yunshui Pavilion suffer a big loss.

The cook next to Yunshui Pavilion sells mutton soup, the chef's surname is Zhang, a famous century-old shop in Chang'an City, mutton soup is handed down from the ancestors, it is said that the soup base of his family has been boiled for a hundred years, and the mutton is cut into large slices in the soup base for only one second, and it is served with green vegetable soup. His mutton soup is unique, different from others, the mutton cooked in the old soup is tender and mellow, the mutton is half-cooked and even has blood water, but the meat is wrapped in a century-old soup, the fragrance is very rich, and it is neutralized with clear soup, and the taste is extremely beautiful.

On weekdays, he costs one or two dollars for a bowl of mutton soup, but today the same bowl only costs fifty yuan, and the business is very hot. It's a pity that most of the rich people have eaten his mutton, and there is no sense of novelty, so they don't get a silver tael. And he didn't come to be selected, but he just used this event to make his mutton more famous, so he didn't care.

He is also one of the few cooks who is not picky about his customers, because he slaughtered more than 20 sheep, and sold more than a dozen of them to this day.

Everyone was envious that he still had so many ingredients left, but they regretted that he couldn't get the money.

This person's mutton soup is just mutton soup, and he doesn't sell haggis, first, the haggis is easy to muddy the soup, and the second is that the people of Chang'an don't have much habit of eating haggis.

Xia Shang also sells haggis soup, so he has a deep understanding of this.

Xia Shang looked at him, and then at the haggis that was piled up behind him and still had blood left, and felt that he had picked up a treasure.
