Chapter 104: Xu Yuan is slacking

Chang'an is a thriving city, and most of the people who live in Chang'an are comfortable and stable, and any humble small business can attract some customers. The small stalls and vendors are like this, and the food is so good, not to mention the famous restaurants in Chang'an.

A big restaurant like Yunshui Pavilion is the real daily gold.

When the people of Anle Street were talking about an affordable lunch of 20 wen a piece, Yunshui Pavilion ushered in a meal of 100 taels. Never doubt the purchasing power of the people, no matter how expensive the commodity, no matter what era, there will always be someone who can afford it.

The clear water tarpon worth a thousand taels is not enough to scare away the guests, and the cherry meat of one hundred taels has naturally become a delicacy that the guests are very fond of.

But no matter how good the dishes are, the freshness will always be reduced, and the customers of Yunshui Pavilion have been fewer recently than in the past, and the sales of cherry meat are not as good as before. Despite this, Yunshui Pavilion still made hundreds of taels of silver profits every day. This income will be eye-catching when placed in heat and place, but compared with the past, the owner of Yunshui Pavilion is a little anxious.

The owner of Yunshui Pavilion was originally a scholarly family, with the surname Ouyang, and the implementation of Confucianism, and the children in the family were all good at poetry and etiquette. The ancestor had a reason with Xu Yuan, ten years ago Xu Yuan fell out with his family and went to the capital to defect to the Ouyang family, at that time the Ouyang family was just a small family, and the head of the family, Ouyang Fu, taught in a private school, barely making ends meet. Accepting Xu Yuan was based on the relationship between the two families, and then heard that Xu Yuan could cook, so he opened a small shop in the name of the Ouyang family.

Unexpectedly, a small shop gradually grew in Xu Yuan's hands, and ten years later, it became one of the four major restaurants in Chang'an City. The Ouyang family has also accumulated considerable wealth because of this store. Ouyang's family originally pursued Confucianism and Taoism, seeking to clean themselves and not be defiled with the world, and all the money was used for running schools, making friends, and some donations, soup kitchens and other good deeds. For the Ouyang family, he has attracted a lot of relationships in Chang'an City, and there are more students under his door.

The current Ouyang family already has a certain foundation, at least the competition family is more than one grade higher, and some people even regard it as a benchmark in the literary world. Even the Guan Long family, which has a long history, is quite close to the Ouyang family.

These were all brought by Ouyang Fu to the family, but Ouyang Fu died the year before. Son Ouyang Jiwen took over the family.

This year's Ouyang family is a little different, and they have gradually distanced themselves from the connection with Yunshui Pavilion, and they have sent people to ask about the restaurant.

Before, Xu Yuan thought that the Ouyang family had decided to give up business and literature, or rather, give up business and concentrate on literature, education and etiquette. It still maintains the elegant posture of the past.

Recently, Xu Yuan found out that this is not the case, because Yunshui Pavilion is open every day, where does the money he earns go? It's not in the Ouyang family's storeroom yet. But the Ouyang family has not contributed money to do good deeds such as righteous education recently. Instead, some schools that should have been free turned into fees, and even recruited a lot of princes and grandsons.

At this time, Xu Yuan found that something was wrong, she made the most effort in Yunshui Pavilion, everything was counting on her craftsmanship, without her, Yunshui Pavilion would not be where it is today. But Xu Yuan's salary in Yunshui Pavilion is very small, and he has never asked for anything. One is because of the grace of taking in back then, and the other is to support the behavior of the old master of Ouyang.

Now that the Ouyang family has changed its taste, Xu Yuan has some thoughts. Today's business is not good and has a direct relationship with her carrying. But no one can say anything yet.

Xu Yuan, as usual, was busy in the kitchen and sweating.

A woman came outside the kitchen, this woman's name is Chu Yun, she has some cousin relationship with the Ouyang family, and her concern doesn't seem to be very good, but recently she often comes to the store to supervise the business.

Xu Yuan knew the identity of this woman, and secretly did not know Ouyang Jiwen. Ouyang Jiwen has never given her a name, but asked her to supervise the business of Yunshui Pavilion, on the one hand, he didn't want to affect the reputation of the literary family because of the store, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to let the store create a huge amount of wealth. That's why Chu Yun is such a person.

"are busy?"

Xiao Er, who was waiting for the dishes outside the kitchen, nodded busily, they didn't dare to say but dared to guess, so they didn't dare to provoke her when they were not sure of the identity of this woman.

At this time, the walked out with a plate of dishes and frowned when she saw Chu Yun.

This woman is also the reason for Xu Yuan's recent upset.

Seventy percent of the Ouyang family's current family business can be said to have been created by Xu Yuan, and now not only has he not received the remuneration he deserves, but he has not received the respect of the Ouyang family.

Chu Yun naturally didn't know about the involvement of Xu Niangzi and the Ouyang family, in her eyes, Xu Yuan was the subordinate of the Ouyang family, and the Ouyang family paid for it, so she should do things. The two of them had a bit of a quarrel before.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Yuan didn't give her a good face, in her eyes, this person was just a yellow-haired girl.

Chu Yun was indeed a little tender, and competed with Xu Yuan: "What are you asking me to do here?" Recently, the store's harvest has been missing by three points, and it must be that you haven't done your best. I'm here to ask you to give me an explanation. ”

Xu Yuan sneered in her heart, leaning against the wall without saying a word.

"You have something to say!"

"Say what? I'll say whatever you want me to say. Xu Yuan looked indifferent.

"You...... Good! Even if you are ruthless, you will not come today for anything else. Just ask if you can officially launch the spicy chicken? ”

"I can't." replied decisively.

"Still can't? Why, exactly? You can make a good spicy chicken, so why don't you take it out and sell it? People have launched spicy chicken for the day, eighty taels of one, and yesterday sold one hundred copies a day, you calculate, how much money do you have to earn? The key is that theirs is not as authentic as ours! ”

"Cherry meat wasn't enough before? I know how to make spicy chicken, but as I said, spicy chicken is someone else's secret recipe, and teaching it to me doesn't give me permission to sell it as a dish. ”

"It's another excuse! Before, you said that you wouldn't leak the secret recipe, but now that other houses have made spicy chicken, why are you still refusing? ”

"If you can't do it, you can't do it! There is no why! ”

"Wow! Okay, you're a, I can't move you anymore with a little bit of craftsmanship? Chu Yun was so angry that he gasped.

Compared with Xu Yuan, this Nizi is obviously not a climate. I saw that Xu Yuan was still in that lazy posture, and shrugged her shoulders: "Indeed, you did say that you moved me, first of all, you have to tell me who you are." Who is the owner, and then weigh whether he is enough, and finally consider whether these words should be said. ”

"Arrogance! Arrogant to the extreme! You...... You...... You give me ......"

At this time, a junior ran over: "Sister Xu, there is a son surnamed Xia who said that he wanted to see you, I said that I would not let you see you, he insisted that I come to talk to Sister Xu, and said that Sister Xu would meet if she knew that his surname was Xia." ”

Xu Yuan was stunned: "Surname Xia?" Yes! I see, you wait, take me to him. As for Miss Chu Yun, you have thought about what you want to say here first, and Mrs. Xu will accompany you later. ”
