Chapter 250: The opening of a tea house

Xijing is also known as the small capital city.

Because it is only a few miles away from the capital, it is very convenient to come and go.

In recent years, the population of the capital has exploded, resulting in overcrowding in the city, and many people have come to Xijing to find another way to make a living. In just a few years, Xijing has been operated into a sub-city of the capital.

Those shops that can be called have branches in Xijing.

Emerald Street, in particular, is even more lively. On both sides are restaurants and restaurants, and there are stalls selling various snacks on the roadside. Take a walk around and keep your belly round.

Emerald Street is full of businesses from all walks of life, if the craftsmanship is not strong enough, dare to open a shop here, then you will have to be scared to roll up the shop and leave.

said that the sound of firecrackers and the shops were very lively on this day, and everyone knew that a restaurant was about to open.

Look at the red cloth lifted from the plaque, and it reads: A Tea House.

Hey? Isn't this a place to drink tea?

The shopkeeper is a beautiful woman, with a snow-white complexion, bright red lips, and a silk body, who is arching her hand to everyone, "Today's small store opens, and I hope everyone will have a lot of cheers." ”

It was rare to see such a special woman, so someone laughed and said: "The shopkeeper wants to sell tea?" ”

"There is afternoon tea to entertain, and you can also have a meal and a snack." After the words fell, the round-faced maid beside her had already set up a beautiful sign on the side of the gate.

It says the dishes served today, the business hours, and the time for afternoon tea.

"Afternoon tea provides special refreshments, which is the most suitable for poetry meetings."

When Qin Xiang opened, he had already considered the positioning of Yimingju clearly.

In the morning, there is a breakfast window, lunch is served at noon, afternoon tea is served in the afternoon, and dinner is served in the evening. As for supper, I don't think about it at the moment, after all, it's dark here after dark, and who is willing to spend that lamp oil money in vain.

Although it is busy, the current labor is really worthless, and many people can't find work to do. As soon as Qin Xiang's recruitment was posted, it attracted a lot of people.

On the opening day, there were a lot of people who came to cheer.

Not to mention anything else, the smell of rice pouring out of the restaurant is attractive enough.

Jin Porcelain even brought people and directly called a few boxes.

The life in Xijing is better than that of Fucheng, and the pockets of the people are also bulging. This person who loves to eat, a friend can order a table of dishes with some money.

Those big dishes can't be eaten, so they ask some small dishes to eat, which is also satisfying.

Just that plain tofu can make thousands of patterns, which is enough to know that this restaurant has a deep heritage.

Qin Xiang was busy entertaining guests, and he had to go to the back kitchen to take care of it.

These people are people she bought from the city, and they have been trained, and now they can also be cooked, but it is still too early to talk about teachers.

"Shopkeeper." The black and thin girl only has a pair of black eyes.

This girl is called a black girl, but she is like her name. This is a child from the skill hall, and he is relatively old. Because of her ugly appearance, her family wanted to sell her to work. Qin Xiang happened to be passing by, and felt that this kid had a lot of strength, so he bought the person.

Unexpectedly, she has excellent understanding, and she is the most loved by Qin Xiang among all the apprentices.

Therefore, before the renovation of Yimingju, Qin Xiang decided to let the black girl come here to take charge of the kitchen.

"Tired or not?"

The black girl grinned, shook her head and said, "I'm not tired." At home, you have to chop wood, hunt pigweed, cook and laundry, and take care of your younger siblings. ”

The work in the kitchen is not easy, but the black girl is as happy as she is. No one would beat and scold her, and she had money to take, and the shopkeeper was very kind to them, and they could eat enough. The brunette thinks it's a paradise. If it were possible, she would have stayed here for the rest of her life and would not leave.

Qin Xiang was overwhelmed by this child's overly shining eyes, and told her to work hard and get a bonus.

These children are all bitter children, but the world is like this, Qin Xiang can only do his best to help them.

Just like the skills hall, she also has a cooking class.

However, since these cooking, embroidery, etc., are not passed on to outsiders, they are still handed over to the children who signed the death deed for the time being. As for some ordinary jobs, they are not so troublesome, and they can be taught in a few months.

"Today is the first day of opening, so it's going to be busy, so everyone is working hard."

"Shopkeeper, we're not tired!"

Qin Xiang came out of the back kitchen with a smile, and saw a table of acquaintances out of the corner of his eye.

If memory serves, those people should be Han Yunxiao's friends. Qin Xiang called a waiter over and asked someone to add a few dishes to them.

On the first day of opening, the business was too hot, and Qin Xiang was so busy that he barely touched the ground.

"Congratulations to Shopkeeper Qin." The Golden Porcelain faction presented a gift to congratulate the opening of the house, and praised: "I brought someone to the usual food today, and the taste is much more than I expected, it is really delicious." And there are many dishes that are unheard of, and even Jin is eye-opening. I thought that eating chicken was enough to make a splash, but I didn't want the shopkeeper Qin to hide it deeply. ”

Qin Xiang blushed shyly, and said with a coquettish smile: "The golden shopkeeper has praised it falsely, it is all a little cautious, and it can't be on the table." ”

"Shopkeeper Qin said this, but he was arrogant. Not to mention this Xijing, even in the capital, there is no second store that tastes better than Yimingju. ”

After sending away the golden porcelain, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't know the tastes of the people here, so at first she asked someone to try the dishes at home, and then she took the dishes to the skill hall.

But that's not all, everything has to wait for the freshness of the opening period to see the feedback from diners.

At noon, there was a golden porcelain party, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Mo brought a group of sisters to join in the fun.

"This is the Madame Qin I told you, she is a great figure. If you want to order 'Xiang' products in the future, you have to please her a lot. She is the big owner of 'Xiang'. ”

What Mrs. Mo said was that she was a little proud, obviously thinking that it was a great thing to be able to get to know Qin Xiang.

Sure enough, after listening to her, these people were envious and excited.

They gathered around Qin Xiang one by one, chattering and asking questions non-stop.

"Okay guys, I didn't see Mrs. Qin busy. Let's order food first......" Mrs. Mo turned her head to look at Qin Xiang, "I heard that you can drink that afternoon tea here?" ”

It is rare for a female guest to come, and Qin Xiang is naturally a good student to entertain her.

Compared with the ordinary guests who eat in the restaurant, these delicate ladies are the ones who make most money. Not only is he willing to spend money, but he also gives a lot of reward because of his comparison.

For this kind of good opportunity to make money by sending it to the door, Qin Xiang likes it very much.

Mrs. Mo didn't have much expectations for Yi Mingju, and asked her to say that it had little to do with making fat powder and making food. But as soon as she entered the house, she was dumbfounded.

Looking at the dΓ©cor, it's completely different from the restaurants outside.

In the lobby, there are tables and chairs arranged on one side, and on the other side, each table is divided by carved screens. You can see greenery everywhere, and when you enter through the door, there is a small stone bridge with many water lilies planted underneath. No wonder when you come in, you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Besides, although it is a restaurant, I did not smell the strong aroma of rice as soon as I entered, but there was a faint aroma of tea and flowers.

A Mingju is different from eating chicken, it is not a restaurant for the public, and it is positioned in the middle and high-end, so it has to show its grade in decoration.

For this, Qin Xiang racked his brains.

Even on the opening day, in order to attract customers, she asked the door of the back kitchen to be opened, and the skylight was also open, so that the aroma of the food could be released from the house. As for the inside of the restaurant, you can't smell the messy smell.

Since you are here to eat, the environment is also very important. A good environment can indeed induce appetite.

Qin Xiang didn't want her to be like a fly restaurant outside, the tables and chairs were greasy.

"Let's go up to the second floor, where you have a good view and won't be disturbed. And it's close to the stage, so it's convenient to watch performances. ”

Qin Xiang imitates the English afternoon tea and provides a variety of refreshments.

There are many varieties, and each one is beautifully shaped, and it is not large, and it does not make people very filling.

"This snack tastes really good and looks exquisite."

"I like this one the most, it looks bland, but it has a rich taste."

"And this ......"

"I like ......"

Although today's afternoon tea only received one table of guests, Qin Xiang believed that with Mrs. Mo's publicity, Yimingju's fame would soon be out.

At the end of the day, it was not early when I left.

"Tired?"

Hearing the question, Qin Xiang turned around and saw a man leaning against the pillar with a gentle gaze.

"You're here!"

Like a tired bird returning to its nest, it jumped directly into the man's arms and rubbed it gently.

"I'm really tired today."

Han Yunxiao was very interested in Qin Xiang's coquettishness, and a smile appeared on his face.

"But don't you like to make money the most?"

Qin Xiang leaned on his chest and listened to the man's powerful heartbeat, extremely relieved. Her fingers poked at the stiff muscles on his arm, and muttered, "Who doesn't like silver, but it's true that you're tired." After this period of time, I will be promoted to the shopkeeper, but I will not do this drudgery. ”

Han Yunxiao has always liked her delicate appearance, so he asked, "Shall I carry you back?" ”

Anyway, there was no one on the street, so Qin Xiang cheekily climbed onto Han Yunxiao's broad back.

"Let's go!"

There are still shops on Emerald Street that are open to customers.

At this time, the curtain on the second floor was lifted by one hand.

The dark eyes stared at a pair of beautiful people in the distance, and then they retracted their gaze and said, "The atmosphere of Xiyan is open. ”

"What did the second uncle say?" The little boy craned his neck to look out, but he saw the stars, but he didn't see the scenery.

"The border pass is in danger, His Royal Highness is showing up in Xiyan at this time, how can he put his safety at risk!"

Only then did the man retract his expression, but the corners of his lips curled up again.

"Lin Yan, let me ask you. Is it that people who call Yan are not smiling? You are, and so is that Yan. ”

Lin Yan arched his hand and said: "It's an eventful autumn, and I hope Your Highness will think twice." ”

"Alas, this palace finally had the opportunity to come out to relax, this good mood has been disturbed by you gang." The man shook his head and smiled: "Then tomorrow, after tasting that tea, let's leave." ”

The boy laughed too, "I'm going to eat the chicken!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's go eat chicken."
