Wang went up and down the restaurant, and he probably understood in his heart. The two of them sat down in the corridor on the second floor, and Wang asked, "It's a pity that Cui is in charge of just going out of the wine building like this, and it's a pity that he has been in business for so many years." ”

Cui Fu sighed: "It's a pity, but there is no way, you can still drop three or four hundred taels of silver when you go out, and if you don't put it out, you can post dozens of taels every month; And the competition is so fierce, it takes a hundred or ten taels to redecorate, and then invite someone to throw silver to try. ”

Seeing that what he said was the truth, he had a plan in his heart, so he said: "If I take over the restaurant and ask Cui to take charge of the affairs, in addition to 20 wages per month, I will also give the shopkeeper 20% of the net profit, will the shopkeeper be willing?" ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the flutter, he knelt down and kowtowed to the king and said: "This restaurant is my most life's work, not to mention pure profit, I am willing if you don't give me wages." ”

Wang Bi hurriedly helped Cui Fu up and said, "Cui is in charge of not having to be like this, I also have requirements for doing this." ”

Cui Fu said: "The world says that Wang Gongzi is a benevolent and righteous person, if you take a fancy to Renhelou and I Cui Fu today, you can ask for it." ”

Wang looked at the building and said, "You listen to my orders, start decorating tomorrow, build a bamboo fence and use a cloth in front of the outside to block all the outside." ”

Cui Fu nodded and wrote down the king's orders.

Wang ordered Cui Fu to close the business from tomorrow, cover the outside of the store with cloth, and renovate the tables and chairs with "rhino leather" paint. The most important thing is to remodel the back kitchen. Iron grates were added to all the original firewood-burning stoves and transformed into coal-burning stoves. Roughly estimate that it will be all in early May.

The employer did not have doubts, Wang Bei paid the money in one lump sum, and instructed Cui Fu to upgrade the second junior in the store in the future, no longer caring about serving dishes, but staring at the other employees in the lobby. The second child should be able to write the menu, and in the future, he will write the menu and send it to the back kitchen, and the back kitchen chef will serve the dishes in the order of the menu.

For employees, Wang should also clearly distinguish chefs, helpers, and food servants. The dishes have to be reset, this recipe is naturally set by the king, and after coming to the Song Dynasty for so long, the most luxurious thing to eat is boiled and stewed. The reason, simple, is a matter of coal. There is no coal that burns continuously and at a high temperature, just charcoal fire, and sometimes makes some water and rice to stew and so on.

Wang set the recipe, searched the intestines and scraped the belly, and thought about the favorite dishes he knew in the name of the dishes in the previous life: soft fried tenderloin, boiled fresh mushrooms, boiled fish fillets, boiled asparagus, fried shrimp, fried waist flowers, fried hoof tendons, fried three, green onions and fried meat, and came up with more than ten dishes;

After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that there were no dishes in the Song Dynasty in these ten dishes, and the shopkeeper Cui Fu took a look at the menu and was dumbfounded: "I said Childe, what are you boiling and frying?" "Wang smiled next to him, you recruit ten chefs first, and I'll talk about it unified." Ten? Cui Fu thought that he had misheard, and he was usually busy with two or three. The king smiled, "Ten"!

When the king left, Cui Fu's shopkeeper was still in a daze with the menu specials, and Xiao Er came over and asked, what is the shopkeeper looking at?

Cui Fu showed Xiao Er the menu next to the king, and Xiao Er was even more confused, so he simply didn't want to do it himself, and explained Cui Fu's shopkeeper: "I said shopkeeper, this prince has always had a lot of ideas, let us do whatever we want." You see, it's the end of April, so we have to hurry. ”

In the past few days, Renhelou has set up a bamboo fence, and the people on the street don't know what to do.

Shopkeeper Cui shook his head, "This restaurant will be surnamed Wang in the future, and I don't know what he is doing when the son explains this." ”

Seeing this, everyone discussed, and learned that it was the king of Meyer's mansion, and even chased after Cui Fu and asked, is this son going to change any tricks?

Seeing that everyone was asking questions, Cui Fu followed what the king taught, and asked three questions, and the king said that this is called mystery.

In a few days, it will be almost completed, and there will be more people around the door. It turned out that the marriage invitation next to the king had been sent, and the wedding next to the king was not to hold a banquet by himself, but to hold a banquet in this Renhe Building. Is this Renhe Building going to be redecorated, is it going to be changed?

Naturally, the cooks trained in Meyer House also learned the ten-course recipe, and most importantly, they really liked the coal-burning stove.

Wang Bi signed contracts with all of them, and the salary must be high, but he can't go to other restaurants within a year, otherwise it will be a breach of contract. Not to mention signing a contract, if you don't sign a contract, the salary given by Wang Bi is high, and you are naturally willing to follow Wang Bi.

Wang Pan also specially found someone to customize the uniform work clothes of Renhelou employees. Now he was satisfied. Just waiting for the arrival of the 18th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Approaching the middle of May, the interior of Renhe Building was cleaned up, and Wang ordered Cui Fu to still cover it, and special purchases could go to the street to buy new applications. All the old tableware and utensils were given to the neighborhood.

This time, the people around know that Renhelou even has changed the tableware with new ones, in fact, these are much more saved than a complete renovation. But the focus of his renovation was not on the exterior of the furniture. At the beginning of the month, the coal escorted by Yu Danian was also delivered. In this way, the coal yard is almost piled up. There is a car to take advantage of the late night to send to Renhe Building, the coal shed prepared in advance in the backyard.

On the day of Wang's wedding, the bamboo fence outside Renhe Building was removed, and people flocked to see it, standing at the door were strange, how Renhe Building didn't change at all from the outside, and it was even more confusing.

It seems that the people who went to the banquet in Renhelou were all officials of the dynasty, nobles and nobles, merchants and celebrities, at least those who sat in sedan chairs, and the entire street was almost blocked with sedan chairs.

Marriage is a day of great joy, the Song Dynasty stipulates that there can be some trespass in the clothing, and officially stipulates that the common people can marry with the nine life clothes as auspicious clothes. The king wore a flower head next to him, and wore a big red flower on the chest of the official palace, and stood on the steps to greet everyone.

It is fresh to participate in the wedding in this way, especially the groom official personally stood on the platform base to greet him, and everyone signed in at the door to send congratulatory gifts, while there were Xiao Er shouting, so-and-so adults arrived, and a certain public who did not have an official position shouted the name of the firm. If there is no commercial house or official rank, he will call a good friend of Sina to arrive.

The receptionist was led to different positions according to the content of the shout, and the immediate family members were on the third floor, and each VIP room was single. Facing officials at all levels. However, in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, the right general Zhao Zongshi, Bao Daren, Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, etc., there is one sitting empty.

The second room of Tianzi is the female dependents of these people.

Tianzi No. 3 to No. 6 are various official colleagues

The seventh and eighth are the buddies and brothers left for the king.

The ninth is the place where the ladies of the king's house and the bride rest.

Everyone guessed that it would be possible to leave such a place for himself next to the king?

On the second floor, Zhang Yi came to greet all the businesses and celebrities, and the first floor was reserved for neighbors.

Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, the king looked around, and two people came out of the crowd in the south, one was thin and about fifty years old, and his eyes were half-squinted as if he was smiling. The other followed with his head bowed.

Wang smiled and personally connected this person to the third floor Tianzi No. 1 room.

As soon as the man entered, all those who were seated in the room immediately left their seats to give a great salute. The man hurriedly closed the door with his hand back and said, "Today I want to see this folk wedding banquet and celebrate it." Sit down, everybody."

Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi were surprised and happy in their hearts, the child next to the king actually alarmed the holy driver to come to the wedding banquet. If this is known to the other rooms or downstairs, it will be a big deal to turn around and cause a commotion. So he hurriedly obeyed the order and sat upright, and the atmosphere was not available.

Renzong frowned: "You have been doing it with me for so many years, and you are so restrained that the housekeeper can eat." ”

So I sat down and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face. But the king doesn't care about this, people from outside come to report, please Lord Wang, Lord Bao go to the second floor, and the newcomer will kneel down in a while.

Standing on the third floor on a circle of restaurant corridors, you can immediately see the newcomer ceremony on the second floor. The second floor was even more full of laughter. Although I couldn't see the excitement on the first floor, I saw the handsome groom just now.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair that picked up the bride arrived. Under the moon, he was dressed in red, wearing a phoenix crown and a forehead, and a red hijab on his head. It looks even more delicate.

When the salute was over and the banquet began, the whole restaurant was full of people, and Xiao Er shuttled and laughed and ran back and forth among the crowd to serve food. Everyone was surprised to find that there were so many dishes at today's banquet that they had never eaten before.

The ten cooks in the kitchen were in full swing, and the king had taught them how skillfully they had practiced. One by one, with hats and aprons tied around their waists, they stir-fried there, and the red coal fire was burning in the hearth.

Renhelou became popular all of a sudden, and even the second and third floors were all amazed, and the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed happily. Although he said that he had no income today, he could already see the shining gold beckoning to him.

People patronized the dishes to taste, but they were still unsatisfied, forgetting that today was the wedding day next to the king, in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, the manager of Shi who followed Renzong was depressed, smelling the fragrance of the vegetables, from beginning to end, it was not like he could try the dishes in the palace first.

Renzong's food is really delicious, he has praised each one, everything he has praised, moved it to the middle, more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks went down together, and the plate immediately bottomed out. Manager Shi just heard the sound of admiration, and he didn't even have a chance to taste the bottom of the plate.

This table is like this, not to mention anything else, after eating two or three fresh dishes, as long as it is a new product in the hall, it will all be swept away.

There are also people who want to go to the back kitchen to see, but there is a special guard there, so the shopkeeper Cui is busy, and he answered according to the answer taught by the king, the dish, the dish is nothing special, but the method is different, you can't do it, this is made of special coal from the coal yard of Jinxiang Mansion, the prince of the prince. ”

The banquet is still going on, and there is news outside that the coal cooking in Jinxiang Mansion is particularly good, and some people know that the coal yard in Jinxiang Mansion is outside the West Water Gate. There is still a banquet here, and in the Jinxiangfu coal yard outside the city, there are already shops who have gone to inquire about the price of coal for cooking.

Wang glanced at the situation of each table, and knew that the effect was good. So he went to the back kitchen. Tianzi No. 1 Fang Zhongzhong Renzong looked at the plate and asked, "There are no new dishes, the official family, I only ate ten chopsticks together." You can't see it. ”

Everyone laughed, this will be almost drunk, Renzong is usually not so old-fashioned, this will see that he is not restrained and unrestrained. If you want to say that Master Bao really loves Wang Bei, he suddenly asked: "The groom was still toasting just now, where will this go?" ”

Manager Shi finally found a chance to go out, and immediately said: "I'll take a look" He ran to the back kitchen with a cigarette and found that the groom was in charge of the spoon himself.

After a while, Wang went upstairs with a plate of colorful special dishes and personally sent them to Tianzi No. 1 room.

Renzong didn't move the chopsticks, looking at the color of this dish is very good, there are cucumbers in the green, carrots in the red, white lotus root slices, round peanuts, and green celery, and black mushrooms. In fact, it is to blanch it with water, then heat the oil for a while, add seasoning salt, a little wine, and drizzle some sesame oil out of the pot.

Renzong felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at it, and when he tasted it, he had the aroma of oil and did not lose the freshness of various vegetables. Good color, flavor and taste. I couldn't help asking, "Wang, what's the name of your dish?" ”

Wang Beixin said: This is just a pansu assortment, but looking at Renzong's expectant gaze, he snickered in his heart and said: "This is specially made by the grass people for the saint, I named him "Splendid Jiangshan" As soon as Wang Bian's voice fell, everyone applauded, the dish is good, and the name of the dish is better.

Renzong was overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, the dish is good and the name is good: this restaurant I give you a signboard, Jinxiu Building." ”
