The caravan outside the 825 pass has returned
The next day, Li Zheng followed Aunt Shen to the imperial kitchen's mansion.
The imperial chef was not surprised at all when he saw him coming, accepted the gift and greeted him into the kitchen with a smile, but what he didn't expect was that the imperial chef's wife was also there.
The imperial chef's wife watched with a face full of happiness and adoration as the imperial chef and Shen Damiang discussed the method, heat and ingredients on the ingredients, which reminded Li Zheng of the situation when he used to eat the dishes made by Shen Damiang at home, and he was still picky.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
In the end, the two couldn't bear the boredom, so they chatted without saying a word, and found that the other half, who also had a skilled cook, had so many common topics.
Chatting and chatting, Li Zheng's heart gradually opened up.
He thought, he knew what he had to do.
When Li Zheng found Shen Wangxin and asked about the restaurant, Shen Wangxin was still a little confused.
Because in her case, although the restaurant is already under consideration, it is far from the extent that preparations have already begun. Li Zheng didn't care about these before, he just had to do what he could and accompany Aunt Shen until Aunt Shen worshipped the imperial chef as a teacher......
"If we open a restaurant, will we let the old woman be the chef?"
"She's old, and if she stays in the kitchen all day cooking, her body may not be able to stand it. Can you just let her do a little bit every day? ”
Li Zheng kept asking Shen Wangxin's question: "Of course, if not, I will also help her find a way." ”
Shen Wangxin said with a smile: "Naturally, the third grandmother's body is the most important, so don't worry about it." At that time, I will have my own arrangements, and I will not let the third grandmother be tired! ”
Li Zheng heard Shen Wangxin's assurance, so he put his heart at ease: "I have already thought about the things you asked me to think about before, I want to go to Wuwei Restaurant to help my wife, is there any suitable work to teach me?" ”
Shen Wangxin thought about it, and it was still the most suitable thing for Li Zheng to manage people, so he said: "It just so happens that there is a lack of a manager at Wuwei Restaurant, why don't you try it?" But we said in advance, although we are close, but if we don't do well, I still have to be replaced! ”
"Of course, the things in the shop are business, how can they be confused with private matters?" Li Zheng said happily.
So Shen Wangxin directly arranged Li Zheng into the Five Flavors Restaurant, and the cook in the Five Flavors Restaurant, because of Aunt Shen, was very familiar with Li Zheng.
Besides, after all, Li Zheng has been a village official all his life, and he is more secure and kind-hearted than ordinary young stewards in his usual actions and decisions.
All of a sudden, the whole of Wuwei Restaurant was very convinced, and even the efficiency of doing things was much better than before.
It wasn't until here that Shen Wangxin was impressed by Li Zheng. It seems that he used to underestimate himself, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he is indeed inferior to him in terms of buying people's hearts.
It didn't take long for the first snow to fall in the capital.
On the second day of snowfall, the head of the Gu family returned from Guanwai with a caravan. He led the team to go to Guanwai this time and harvested a lot, and several wagons of medicinal materials directly filled the warehouse of Wuwei Yaozhai.
Not only that, but he also earned a lot of silver. All this silver was deposited by him in the silver village, and after he came back, he directly shared the account with Shen Wangxin, and a large amount of silver was directly transferred to Shen Wangxin's account.
This time things went smoothly, Shen Wangxin directly set up a banquet in the best restaurant in the capital, invited all the people who followed the head of the Gu family to the restaurant, and entertained them deliciously.
The head of the Gu family originally expected to be able to return before the winter, but he confessed to Shen Wangxin that he had been delayed until today, in fact, because of some of his personal affairs.
It turned out that he went to Guanwai this time, in addition to doing the business of medicinal materials. In fact, I also wanted to go outside the gate to find Gu Nuan's tomb.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for more than ten years when they were alive, and now that they knew where Gu Nuan was, he, the elder brother, always had to go and see.
"There was a war outside the gate, and the head of the family went to find A Nuan's tomb, but I am afraid it took a lot of time." Shen Wangxin sighed, she and Gu Nuan could barely be regarded as friends.
She also felt very sorry for what happened to Gu Nuan.
If it weren't for her father's accidental death, she might have married and had children like ordinary women. Instead of living outside the gate for more than ten years, he finally died of depression and self-blame.
The head of the Gu family smiled: "You are so familiar with Ah Nuan, you don't have to always call me that in the future, just call me by my name." Besides, I married Xiaogui, and between our Gu family and Wuwei Yaozhai, we can be regarded as close to each other. ”
Shen Wangxin smiled and nodded in acknowledgement: "It's me who is too polite." ”
The names of the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family are very interesting, the younger sister is called Gu Nuan, and the elder brother is called Gu Han. But the fate of the two is diametrically opposite to their names, Ah Nuan stayed in the perennially cold grassland outside the Guan, while Gu Han has been living in the hot Lingnan.
Hearing Shen Wangxin's words, Gu Han continued to say: "As you said, I did go through a lot of twists and turns when I went to Guanwai this time before I found the place where Ah Nuan was buried. ”
"How?" Shen Wangxin hurriedly asked.
