201. Set a small goal first
The Xie family has been walking with the wind when they go out these days, and they all hold their heads high, just like a general who has won a battle, which is called a high-spirited person.
Miss is really amazing, she won the first prize in one fell swoop at the poetry meeting, and those two quatrain poems are now known to everyone in the capital, and many people come to post posts every day, either to see Miss's demeanor, or to hope to spend a lot of money to get a new work.
In short, after keeping a low profile for several years, the Xie family has once again become the most popular and sought-after family in the capital.
If it weren't for the fact that Miss had a marriage contract with the prince of Wujun Wangfu, I am afraid that the matchmaker who came to propose marriage would have flattened the threshold.
The old lady of the Xie family is the happiest, she has loved this little granddaughter very much, and now when she sees her little granddaughter so competitive, she is simply holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, and the good things she has accumulated over the years in her hand are crazy to throw at her like no money.
But not only did she not feel jealous of the Xie family, but opened the door to a new world, so Liu Jiaojiao continued to receive good things from her elders and brothers, and even Xie Pingxuan, the fifth brother who was a nerd, was extremely generous to send several out-of-print ancient books, which were said to be his treasures, and they were originally intended to be kept as family heirlooms.
Liu Jiaojiao was already spoiled in the Xie family, and now she is even more spoiled to the sky, no matter how everyone thinks of her, they feel so good, it is estimated that even if she says that the sun comes out of the west, everyone will not hesitate to praise her for being right.
And Xu Tianci, who is his father, is not so happy.
At first, when he learned that Liu Jiaojiao could win the first prize in the poetry meeting, and made two poems on the spot that made the three great Confucians in the world amazed, he thought that he had heard it.
He knows very well what kind of environment Liu Jiaojiao grew up in, how can an ordinary peasant family who may not even be able to eat three meals be able to cultivate a talented woman with amazing talents?
But after repeated investigations, after learning about Liu Jiaojiao's performance at the poetry meeting that day, he was a little unbelievable to find that his daughter might really be the kind of genius who has no teacher.
It stands to reason that his daughter is so brilliant, as a father, he should be very happy and gratified, but he is not happy at all, and he is even a little afraid in his heart.
It's just that he participated in a poetry meeting, and he offended all the princesses of Wujun and the Marquis of Xiaoyao, both of whom are deeply valued by the emperor, one is the county king with military power, and the other is the younger brother of the queen.
Sun Jizong did something stupid not long ago, but his sister is the queen of the main palace after all, and the emperor respects her very much, and although Sun Jizong has no brains, he is extremely loyal to the emperor, so it can be said that the emperor will do whatever he asks him to do, so it will be reused in the future.
As people who are also loyal to the emperor, these two families are allies in the same boat as him, but how can his daughter offend all of them so much? How can he play with them happily in the future?
People who come out of a small place are short-sighted, does a girl's family need so much talent? Wouldn't it be nice to pretend that you don't understand? Originally, no one expected her to shine in the poetry club.
Now it's good, not only offended the two powerful figures, but also offended the other daughters who participated in the poetry meeting that day in disguise, which is simply making enemies all over the world for him, who is a father!
The more Xu Tianci thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter was too ignorant.
It's all because of the Xie family, even if they like to sell their fame and reputation, they also taught his ignorant daughter badly.
No, I can't let my daughter stay in the Xie family anymore, if this continues, this daughter will not only not be able to help him in the future, but it is also very likely that the Wujun Mansion will come to withdraw from the marriage, after all, she has offended her future mother-in-law miserably!
Thinking of this, Xu Tianci couldn't sit still anymore, and ordered his subordinates to prepare a carriage, and at the same time asked the housekeeper to quickly sort out the courtyard, and he wanted to go to Xie's house to pick up his daughter back in person.
At this time, Liu Jiaojiao was busy in the back kitchen of Qingxinfang, she didn't know that her scumbag father had gone to Xie Mansion to pick her up in person, and she didn't know that her little brother was desperately trying to find a way to meet her, and she was preparing to develop a new dish - children's menu.
For modern people, children's menus are so common that almost any restaurant chain with a slight reputation will launch this kind of menu, to put it bluntly, just to make children's money.
No way, who makes the best money for women and children?
But for the ancients, this idea alone was enough to make them fall out of sight, there are shops on the market that specialize in selling children's food, but there has never been a high-end restaurant that will make a set menu specifically for children.
First, the high-end restaurants in this era were basically used for entertaining, dining or tooth sacrifices, and no one would bring children to it; Second, although the child is the baby of the family, but take them to the restaurant to eat is what the adults eat, the child will follow what to eat, at most order a few dishes suitable for the child to eat, no restaurant will deliberately develop an exclusive recipe for the child, after all, it is the adult who pays the bill, and the person who really wants to be so particular will be equipped with a full-time chef who cooks for the child in his house, no need to buy outside.
Therefore, when Liu Jiaojiao put forward this idea, the people in the restaurant did not agree, but Qingxinfang has always been her hall, even if everyone thinks that the owner is purely looking for trouble, no one dares to question half a sentence in front of her.
Watching Liu Jiaojiao's actions in handling the ingredients, the second chef asked with some concern: "Owner, can this children's package really be sold?" ”
Liu Jiaojiao didn't answer his words directly, but asked the others without raising her head: "Do you also think I'm tossing around?" ”
The others didn't reply, but the expressions on their faces showed that they thought so, just not to speak out.
Liu Ling was the only one who believed in her 100%, and when she heard this, she glared at everyone, and then said firmly: "Master, I believe you, the children's package will definitely be sold!" ”
"Do you think it sells well? Can it become a popular dish like the flower chicken? Liu Jiaojiao looked up at her, with a playful arc at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Ling hesitated for a moment, and was silent for a while before he said tentatively: "Uh, Master, this is something new after all, and we can't give up much hope, right?" ”
She does believe in Liu Jiaojiao's ability, but she doesn't dare to guarantee that this package will sell well, after all, no restaurant has ever tried it, not to mention that Liu Jiaojiao's goal is too high, and she even compares it with the main dish in the store, called Huaji, she doesn't want to pour cold water, but it's not good to talk nonsense with her eyes open, so she has to answer like this.
Liu Jiaojiao sneered, sighed slightly, shook her head and said: "To be a man, you have to be innovative, be brave, since you are not optimistic about this children's package, then let's set a small goal first, well, just sell fifty copies a day!" ”
The corners of Liu Ling's mouth couldn't stop twitching, Master, are you kidding? It's good to sell one copy of this thing, but selling fifty copies a day is an impossible task, so it's still called a small goal? Is the big goal to surpass the flower chicken and become the main hit of Qingxinfang?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Everyone thought the same as her, they all thought that the owner was crazy, but they didn't dare to say it directly, so they had to sigh silently in their hearts, hoping that she would not be too disappointed when she couldn't sell it.
Qingxinfang specially launched a children's package, through the publicity of the guys in the store, the diners knew in an instant, at first everyone was quite curious, there were children at home couldn't help but ask the price and what was delicious in the package, when they learned that a piece was sold for three taels of silver, and only a cup of cold drink, two pairs of chicken wings and a hamburger, plus a said to be a limited edition puppet, almost everyone felt that the owner of Qingxinfang was crazy about silver.
What are you kidding? It's worth three taels of silver just like that? Why don't you go and rob the silver trumpet?
But within three days, all the diners were slapped in the face, and it was the children in the capital who were slapped in the face.
The owner of Qingxinfang actually gave a children's package to each gold card member for free, and asked them to take it back to the children, but all the children who had eaten it were all noisy and still wanted to eat, and the adults had no choice but to spend money to buy it at a high price.
Who expected the boss to be a pit goods, but the puppets that come with each package are different, and the workmanship is exquisite, and the appearance is so cute, and the group of children was instantly fascinated, and a particularly large notice was posted at the door of Qingxinfang, saying that anyone who gathers seven different puppets can exchange the puppets for a cute big puppet about one meter five high.
This is equivalent to poking a hornet's nest, and those children with ragdolls in their hands are all like crazy, and they are splashing and rolling around at home, pestering their parents to buy them children's packages.
Especially those little sons and young ladies with good family backgrounds, they are all masters who love face and like to compare since they were children, and they all hope that they are the first to get the big puppet, so they go crazy and call people to buy children's packages.
It's not that you can buy seven different puppets in a row, but you come to a random gift, so it's very likely that you can't buy dozens of different puppets and can't make up seven different puppets.
Adults can see the routines clearly at once, but what children know, they don't care about what routines are not routines, anyway, they want the big puppet, and if they can't get together seven little puppets, they will be crazy at home, so that the adults of each family can't do anything, knowing that it is a pit, they have to grit their teeth and spend money to continue to buy for children.
However, in just 10 days, the sales of the children's set meal successfully surpassed that of Zhaohua Chicken and became the most ordered dish in the store.
Looking at the adults who were annoyed by the children at home, gritting their teeth and scolding the scene of paying for the children's package, the guys in Qingxinfang were all frightened, and then they sincerely felt that the owner was really amazing.
It's a shame that they questioned whether the owner was stupid at the beginning, and they came up with such a thing that they felt unreliable when they heard it, but now they suddenly realized that they were the big fools.
The owner is wise, the owner is powerful, the owner is simply great!
