Chapter 20 How to dispose of it
This dish is suitable for eating immediately after the steel, and it is best to dip the chopsticks in the water, otherwise you will not want to pick up other dishes later.
The third dish of milk sweet potato cake, the cake with milk is not only more fluffy and tastes rich, but also has a strong milk flavor, and the skin she asked the chef here for some ghee, so that the sweet potato cake is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slightly sweet taste and the delicacy of sweet potatoes, I believe no one will resist!
"This sweet potato cake can actually be made into other flavors, some people like sweet, then put milk and sugar, some people like salty, then you can mix sweet potatoes and other meats to make cakes."
After tasting a few dishes, Xu Xuejie was completely impressed, not to mention that Chu Xinyun also said that the practice of this sweet potato is far more than these, and when the time comes, it can be greatly affected and explored.
After the tasting session, the next step is to talk about the sweet potato business.
Shopkeeper Xu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "I don't know how many sweet potatoes the little lady has?"
Chu Xinyun tapped his fingertips on the table, and his face was embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Xu has cooperated with me in the sugar cube business, and I am naturally willing to cooperate with you for the right to use this sweet potato, but although this sweet potato is good, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and I don't have much inventory there......
Xiao Shu, who listened to her nonsense, laughed a little, who told himself when he planted sweet potato seedlings a few days ago that this thing is very easy to handle, as long as there is enough water and light, how can it become difficult to cultivate when he gets to the shopkeeper Xu?
Shopkeeper Xu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and he sighed: "The little lady is not often in the town and doesn't know very well, and now the business of this restaurant is becoming more and more difficult!"
"Since the shopkeeper Cai got the recipe for the sugar cubes, he went to other restaurants to dig a lot of corners, and the dishes from other restaurants are now going to him, and I am fortunate that some old chefs who have been with me for decades have not taken care of him, but the kitchen chores have gone a lot..."
"If this continues, my restaurant will probably close down in a while!"
Chu Xinyun heard the meaning of his words, and felt a little reluctant in his heart for a while, after all, the origin of the trouble of Shopkeeper Cai also went out from her.
She frowned and said: "I know that I have half of the responsibility for this matter, but now this sweet potato seedling has just been put to the ground, and I don't know what it can grow into in the end, you look at it, I only sell this sweet potato to you for the time being, but it can only supply two hundred catties a month, if the sweet potato cultivation is successful in the later stage, then it is not too late to increase the supply." β
Shopkeeper Xu thought about it for a while, thinking that if he was a hundred catties a month, he would be less than six catties that day.
Six catties of sweet potatoes is a drop in the bucket for the consumption of a restaurant, so he has to fight for it again: "Little lady, for the sake of good cooperation between you and me, can you mention twenty catties a day?"
The two of you came and went for a while before it was finally settled, and every day I sent fifteen catties of sweet potatoes to the restaurant, each catty was thirty wen, and the other Fang Zixu shopkeeper also bought it, and a total of four dishes were given sixty taels of silver.
Speaking of which, it is not difficult to make these dishes, he only needs to let the cook study it for a few days, so why should he come to her to buy it?
Although he is also a businessman, he is not too much after interests like other businessmen, but he holds his own bottom line.
The documents to be sold were signed, and the two began a new cooperation.
Chu Xinyun asked Xiao to kill and send today's fifteen catties of sweet potatoes, and the rest of the cooking before should be given to the shopkeeper Xu.
After Xiao killed and left, the private room quieted down, and Xu Xuejie filled her with tea with a smile and said: "Thank you again this time little lady, if you didn't bring this novel sweet potato, it would be difficult for me to maintain this restaurant!"
"It's just that the daily supply is too small, and I can sell up to ten copies a day."
Chu Xinyun took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to worry, in fact, according to the current situation, it is still very useful to limit the number of dishes every day." β
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Xu looked like he was willing to hear the details: "What does the little lady have to look at?"
"Think about it, if you don't count the amount of supply every day, some mouthy customers will get tired of eating sooner or later, if you adopt a daily limit, not only can the price rise slightly, but also people will often come to your restaurant to eat because of curiosity and freshness, do you think you kill two birds with one stone?"
Xu Xuejiao was stunned for a moment, and then rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully, and immediately laughed.
"Hahaha, I'm glad that the little lady didn't open a store in the town, otherwise we old guys probably wouldn't have been able to open it for a long time!
That's a good idea! It's amazing!"
Chu Xinyun raised her chin a little proudly, these are all the summary marketing plans she brought from modern times - hunger marketing, God knows that people can queue for three hours in order to eat those so-called limited dishes!
Not to mention how many people it pitted, but it still applies to the dynasty here!
Before Xiao Shu came back, she continued to chat with Xu Xuejie in the private room, and chatted and chatted about Shopkeeper Cai.
From Xu Xuejie's words, she found that she really underestimated this shopkeeper Cai, he actually planned to send this recipe to the capital to go to the capital, where a group of bigwigs gathered!
It is claimed to eat people without spitting out bones!
The shopkeeper of a small place actually has this kind of thought, could it be that he wants to soar to the sky with this sugar recipe?
Chu Xinyun quickly calmed down, if it was something else, he might not pay attention to it, but what is this, this is the most lacking sugar recipe in this dynasty at present!
She suddenly understood that Cai's method might be really feasible!
She felt that she really underestimated the merchants of this place, although their status was better than that of the merchants in modern history, but they were basically not much better, so once she had the opportunity, she could climb up.
But coincidentally, Cai Xuejie seized this opportunity this time!
A recipe for making sugar that has never been discovered, not only with simple ingredients but also with a simple production process, as long as you spend some firewood money, you can make sugar cubes at home.
She doesn't know if there is a foreign trade in this dynasty, but if there is, then this recipe can definitely be regarded as extremely important!
This can completely promote the rapid development of the dynastic economy!
Chu Xinyun kept thinking back and forth in her mind, she was a little annoyed that she was too naΓ―ve before, and she didn't think about this clearly!
Fortunately, she had to ask the shopkeeper to mention it, so she wouldn't make a big mistake!
While thinking about it, she also secretly made up her mind.
"Shopkeeper Xu doesn't know if you can help?"
"Little lady, please say, if the contemptible person can help, it will definitely be done!"
Chu Xinyun stared into his eyes and said, "I want to announce the recipe for making sugar!"
The tea cup in the hand of the shopkeeper Xu fell directly on the table without clenching it for a while, and the hot tea spilled on the table, and for a while, the whole private room was filled with a rich fragrance of tea.
Shopkeeper Xu didn't care about cleaning up, he looked at Chu Xinyun's face and had no smile from before, but with a little serious taste.
"The little lady is not joking?"
He was a businessman but always cared about people's livelihood, and after discovering the wonderful use of sugar cubes, he once sighed that it would be a good thing if this recipe for making sugar could be used by the people.
But now this opportunity is so inexplicably placed in front of him.
Chu Xinyun said firmly: "Naturally, it's not a joke, in fact, I would like to thank the shopkeeper Xu for reminding me, if it weren't for your words, I would still be in the dark at the moment waiting for the catastrophe to come!"
Shopkeeper Xu raised his eyebrows, and asked again: "I don't know how much the little lady is going to ask?"
Chu Xinyun shook his head: "It's free, no silver taels are needed." β
At this time, the shopkeeper Xu was completely moved, and his eyes looked at Chu Xinyun with a little admiration.
This little lady is not an ordinary person, such a thought suddenly popped into his heart.
Normal people will only be complacent because they know that they have invented the sugar recipe, but they don't know what kind of disaster it will bring to a powerless person who has such a good thing once it is discovered by everyone who cares.
She just briefly mentioned it and understood, which shows her intelligence.
If he hadn't investigated her identity beforehand, he really had some doubts about whether this person was an undercover agent from the capital.
Shopkeeper Xu arched his hand: "If the little lady is willing, then there is no problem here." β
"Then trouble the shopkeeper with those papers and pens, I will write this recipe to you, and then trouble the shopkeeper to send someone to run away."
"This is nature, Wang Er, put pen and paper!"
Soon Wang Er took the pen and ink, Chu Xinyun was really a little unaccustomed to using a brush, and the words written were a little ugly, which made her a little embarrassed: "The words are a little unsightly, and they are ugly." β
"It's okay, I'll copy it later."
Shopkeeper Xu took the paper and blew on the ink marks that had not dried, and after a few glances, he took a rough look at the recipe on it, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Chu Xinyun got up: "Fang Zi is here, you can dispose of Xu Xue's cabinet however you want, I still have some sugar cubes in my inventory and send them to you another day, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." β
Shopkeeper Xu nodded: "I'll let Wang Er send you." β
"The shopkeeper is gracious."
After sending Chu Xinyun away, the shopkeeper Xu sat down and copied a sugar recipe, avoiding the guests and coming to a room on the top floor.
It was empty and there was no furniture, except for a human-tall birdcage near the window, in which a golden-eyed bird with gray wings was staring at him coldly.
Shopkeeper Xu first fed it some beef cut into thin strips, then stuffed the rolled letter paper into the roll tied to its legs, and then released it, and the direction of its wings was the direction of the capital.
Shopkeeper Xu looked at its departing back and muttered, "I hope the master is interested..."
A few days later, the most prosperous Changshengfang in the capital is full of people at the moment, and today I heard that there is a performance team from foreign countries coming, so that the nobles of the kings and grandsons who originally love to watch the excitement flock to it.
In a box on the top floor of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, incense curls with the fragrance of tea, and many ice basins are placed everywhere, making the house cool and comfortable, not at all like the scorching sun outside the house.
Tulle asked lightly, looming, a figure was half-lying in it, two beautiful maids kneeling on either side, gently shaking the feather fan in their hands, a fair-skinned and slender finger twisted the chilled grapes on the low table, handed them to his lips, and bit them lightly.
"Alas!" With a crisp eagle cry, a gray figure spread its wings.
The attendant who was guarding the door outside the box suddenly opened his eyes, flew up with a light tap of his toes, and landed at the door after holding the flying gray eagle.
After removing the letter paper on its leg, he let it go, turned around and came to the door of the box and said respectfully: "Childe, Xu Deming has a letter." β
A gloomy voice came from inside the room: "Take it in and I'll take a look." β
"Yes."
As the door opened, the hot wind blew the tulle that hung down the room, and a handsome and unparalleled face slowly revealed.
If anyone who knows about the affairs of the capital is here, he will definitely exclaim the identity of this person, Li Xiuqi, the master of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, a wizard who dares to sell intelligence in the capital!
