Chapter 62: The decision to open a restaurant
I didn't expect this prince to be quite kind, I rejected him, and he also asked the emperor to help me with a reward. If you have the opportunity to see him again, you must thank him.
Jing Yixuan made such a big move, and a group of people had already watched it, and when the eunuch who announced the decree left, they all whispered without scruples.
The people of Jing Yixuan were as happy as the six sons, as if the gold had gone into their pockets. On the contrary, Lin Zixuan looked solemn and thoughtful.
Counting this one hundred taels of gold is one thousand taels of silver, Jing Yi Xuan's income in the past few months plus his own savings is less than three thousand taels, and Jing Shang's opening has been more than seven thousand taels in the past few days, but Jing Shang is four or six points with Leng Han.
Even if you don't count the cold four or six points, all the silver money adds up to more than 11,000 taels, and it should be far from enough to buy a shop that can make pork belly and chicken restaurants. After all, Jingshang picked up a bargain and bought it for eight thousand taels. It seems that you don't have to think about buying a shop, you can only rent it, and you don't know if you can rent a suitable shop.
This will make Shu Ruo still worry about more than 30 people to raise, she doesn't know that she will have more than 30 people to raise in the near future.
Because of Shu Ruo's habit, this sudden reward must be celebrated. But this is not Jing Yixuan, who only had a few people before, and it doesn't cost too much silver to go to Juxianglou to eat once, and Shu Ruo is not distressed. Now that there are so many people, she still wants to buy a shop, how can she afford to go to Juxianglou to eat.
Fortunately, Sister Qin went to the Four Princes Mansion to learn cooking, and her cooking skills were not bad, Shu Ruo told Sister Qin about the ingredients for the pork belly and chicken pot, as well as what Chef Liu did in the Four Princes' Mansion that day. Three small stoves were prepared in the courtyard of Jingyixuan, three casseroles were bought, and it was decided that everyone would eat pork belly and clay chicken in the evening to celebrate.
"It smells so good! What does it smell like! Liuzi came over smelling the fragrance.
"You little glutton." Sister Qin looked at her more and more lively son, and was very pleased. If there was no son, she and Liuzi would not know where they would be, and Liuzi would not be so innocent and lively.
"Mother, what are you cooking? It smells so good, my saliva is about to flow out. ”
"I want to know, ask Childe." Sister Qin deliberately didn't tell Liuzi, wanting to tease her son.
Shu Ruo saw Sister Qin's intentions, and cooperated: "Smell the incense, your mother cooked a particularly delicious dish tonight, which was researched by the prince after consulting the chef of the Four Princes' Mansion." Do you want to eat it? ”
"Yes. I especially want to! Liuzite nodded obediently.
"That's okay, go and practice the ten words that your brother Zixuan taught today, and you will eat them after practicing for a while."
"Childe." Hearing that he was going to practice calligraphy, Liuzi's mouth flattened. This is a small point, you let him get up every morning to practice martial arts with Zixuan, he is very energetic every day, and he doesn't feel hard at all. But as soon as you call him to read and write, he will be miserable.
"Why don't you want to eat it? If you don't want to eat, you can eat it, and we'll all eat later, and you'll see ...... alone."
"Don't, Childe, I'm going to practice calligraphy, I'm going." After saying that, he ran away with a smoke.
Looking at the background of the sixth son, Sister Qin smiled and said: "As far as the son is concerned, you can cure this child, he must be the one who dances the knife and the gun, and it will be miserable for him to take a pen." ”
"Sister Qin, the sixth son is still young. It's almost soup, I'll try it. After speaking, Shu Ruo tasted the soup and let Sister Qin taste it again.
"Childe, this pork belly pot chicken not only smells good, but this soup is really full of umami when you drink it. How did Childe come up with the idea of boiling these two together? ”
"I've seen other people cook and eat like this before, but you know my cooking skills, fortunately, Chef Liu is amazing, I only said the ingredients, and the general cooking method. Sister Qin, you're not bad. "I can't tell you that this is what I ate in the 21st century.
"It's still good for Chef Liu to teach."
After that, Shu Ruo asked Sister Qin to prepare some side dishes and explained how to eat these side dishes.
This night, more than 30 people, three pots of pork belly and chicken, all the side dishes prepared were eaten. Everyone still has enough to eat.
"Sister Qin, let's get down to business, I want to open a restaurant and sell this dish, what do you think?"
"Yes, this pork belly pot chicken tastes really delicious, there will be many people who like it, coupled with this novel way of eating, Yanjing City is unique, and the business is set to be hot." Sister Qin is very optimistic about this pork belly pot chicken.
Lin Zixuan on the side didn't speak for a long time, and he had a trace of doubt. On the contrary, Liu Xin'er said with excitement on her face: "Childe, I don't know if I can let Sister Qin teach me the method of cooking pork belly and chicken, don't get me wrong, I don't want to steal the teacher." It's just that Sister Qin is busy enough to be in charge of Jingshang on weekdays, if Gongzi really wants to open a restaurant, maybe I can learn to help the back kitchen, after all, the back kitchen still has to be watched by someone, in case someone steals the secret recipe for this dish. ”
Before Shu Ruo could respond, Lin Zixuan spoke, "Childe, you can see clearly what ingredients are in this pot of soup, I don't mean that this is not easy to do, I also believe that there will be a great response when it just opens." But as I just said, the material is clear, and it means that it is easy for people to learn, but I am afraid that it will not be enough to sell this dish? ”
"Haha...... If this is the case, you can rest assured that you can learn this way of eating in other restaurants, but the taste of our pot of soup cannot be done in other restaurants, and there are exclusive secret ingredients from Chef Liu. Unless Chef Liu sells this recipe. But I'm not worried. That day, when Leng Han mentioned that she could open a restaurant specializing in pork belly and chicken business, she kept an eye on it and asked Chef Liu to make a promise to her in front of Leng Han, promising not to disclose this recipe.
Chef Liu is also an interesting person, and he feels that he has learned a new dish from Shu Ruona, and he is still very popular with his own prince, and he is already very satisfied. In addition, looking at the attitude of his own prince towards Shu Ruona, it is too late to please him, how dare he.
In this way, Lin Zixuan's worries are gone, and he naturally decided to open a restaurant. But it's still that problem, this restaurant shop hasn't been found yet.
But Shu Ruo has a big heart, she thinks that this restaurant must be opened, and the shop has not been found yet, but it is only temporary. Other preparations can be made first. In this way, I forgot the time to discuss with everyone.
Four Princes' Mansions.
"The Dark One hasn't come back yet?"
"Nope."
Hearing this reply, Leng Han frowned.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, there is a dark one, and Painter Shu is fine." My own prince, since I knew that Painter Shu would stay in Jingyixuan for dinner tonight and would return late, this would be the fourth time that he had asked him if he had come back.
"I didn't want to know earlier, what did the palace send someone to Jingyixuan to do today?" He would never let Anzi know that he already knew what the palace sent people to Jing Yixuan to do, so he was looking forward to Shu Ruo's reaction so much. Although he could imagine that scene, he really wanted to see it with his own eyes. So he forgot that he had explained his actions to Anzi.
Looking at his arrogant prince, Anzi said that he was helpless. Lord Wang, you don't recruit yourself, you know no. Alas! Just work hard for me, a minion!
"Lord Wang, you see that this night is cold and dewy, Shu Painter walked back to the courtyard of Xishu Hutong, and she didn't pay much attention to herself on her bones, for fear that she forgot to bring the fox fur, and she would catch a cold! Why don't you pick up the painter Shu? ”
"Well, prepare the carriage to pick her up." As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of the palace.
Anzi shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly ran to prepare the carriage.
said that she was going to pick up Shu Ruo, but when she arrived at Jingyixuan, she saw that Shu Ruo didn't come out, and a certain prince was arrogant again, and she felt that she should not let Shu Ruo know that she had come to pick her up on purpose, and she would get carried away. Let Anzi listen to the carriage from a distance away from Jing Yi Xuan, and just see the door of Jing Yi Xuan.
Finally Shu Ruo came out. The sixth son was sleepy early, and Sister Qin had already gone back with the sixth son and Xi'er. At this moment, only Shu Ruo and Lin Zixuan were left to go back to the courtyard of Xishu Hutong together.
"Lord Wang, Painter Shu is out."
"The king saw it."
"Painter Shu is not alone."
"This king is not blind." Seeing Shu Ruo and Lin Zixuan walking on the road talking and laughing together, Leng Han was inexplicably irritable.
"Shall we follow, then?"
"Wait a minute." Leng Han actually wanted to catch that Nizi to the carriage immediately, and he just saw that Nizi shivering from the cold. But looking at Lin Zixuan next to her, he felt that he should let this Nizi freeze for a while, who would let her ......
