Chapter 110: The Cook

Jiang Zipei's tone was a little lost when he said this, his paintings were indeed regarded as worthless garbage, but they were also painted by him with great painstaking efforts, he didn't want to burn them, so he brought them over here, when Shen Shuang said that he could decorate the staircase wall with paintings, he quickly remembered his idle paintings, it felt so good to be affirmed by a person, Jiang Zipei was a little excited at the moment.

Shen Shuang naturally heard the loss in Jiang Zipei's tone, "Everyone has different scenery in their eyes, and they look at the painting from different angles, so the evaluation given is naturally different, but I want to say that the painting is meant to be appreciated and should not be used as an evaluation." But in my opinion, Jiang Gongzi's paintings are really distinctive and beautiful, Zitong, what do you say? ”

Jiang Zitong is also a person who doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Seventh brother, I think Sister Shen is right, although your paintings are all very ordinary flowers and plants, they look much better than those hanging in my father's study." ”

Jiang Zipei was built up by the two of them singing and harmonizing, and he looked at his paintings more and more, of course, he was not proud, thinking that he should still paint more when he was free in the future.

The two walked up the stairs and soon walked into the box on the second floor, there are a total of twenty boxes on the second floor, which is a ring, mainly arranged around the hall on the first floor, some windows can see the scenery on the street, and there are no windowed boxes, Shen Shuang proposed to hang a curtain.

At the same time, Shen Shuang also proposed to add special tablecloths on the tables in these boxes, but she knew that the town was a big town, and there were many merchants coming and going, and some guests who were not bad for money might be better when they walked in and saw a good-looking tablecloth, and at the same time, there were some bottles that could put flowers and branches in the box by the window to increase the atmosphere.

Seeing the results of Jiang Zipei's arrangement, Shen Shuang said that he was very satisfied, the box is a dining location that only some people with status and status will choose, and whether the layout is good-looking or not directly affects their evaluation and impression of this restaurant.

"Jiang Gongzi, it seems that you have put a lot of thought and money into the arrangement, but I didn't expect you to take all the suggestions I mentioned casually."

The suggestions that Shen Shuang said were just suggestions, and it was up to Jiang Zipei whether to adopt them, but she didn't expect Jiang Zipei to be so far-sighted, or to trust her so much, that she would adopt them all.

"Miss Shen has a wide range of knowledge, I have not seen a similar arrangement in the capital, the layout with novel ideas should be able to attract guests, if Miss Shen also wants to engage in the restaurant industry, maybe there will be no use in the future."

Shen Shuang was embarrassed to wear such a big tall hat, "Actually, I am also thinking about it myself, where is the knowledgeable, but Jiang Gongzi, there will definitely be great achievements, although there is a lot of silver invested in the early stage, but I dare to say that Jiang Gongzi will definitely double the earnings, even if the Manfu Building on the opposite side wants to imitate it, it is too late, and by then the popularity of Yunlai Lou has been opened, and imitation is imitation after all." ”

After Shen Shuang finished reading the decoration in the restaurant, he followed the Jiang family brothers and sisters to their residence, which was a faΓ§ade in the town that didn't look very good, but it was a very magnificent house inside, "I didn't expect that the corner of the street in front of people is your house, although it is not big here, it is quite magnificent, the residence you bought?" ”

"That's right, this is Uncle Mo came to buy it in advance, it was the house where the county lord lived before, two months before we came, the county lord was promoted and sold the house, and Uncle Mo also gave it down, it's not bad here."

Although the mountain town is only a town, it is the main town of the county, so the county yamen is also here, after all, there are many merchants from the south to the north, and they can also make a lot of oil and water.

If it weren't for this, the Jiang family brothers and sisters would not have picked such a place.

Shen Shuang was led by Jiang Zitong to visit the house, and when she walked around and came back, Jiang Zipei was already waiting for her with the two chefs of the restaurant and the remade menu.

"Miss Shen, please take a look, this is the menu I decided after discussing with the two masters, and it is listed one by one, please take a look."

Shen Shuang asked Jiang Zipei to remake the menu with a lot of thought, not a thin piece of paper, but a menu book similar to a picture album, with lifelike food painted on it, although the color is average, it can be seen that the person who painted these foods has good drawing skills, Shen Shuang really has nothing to find fault with, there are no photos, these pictures are more elegant and attractive, "Jiang Gongzi's paintings are very good-looking, I want to try the food on the menu of this album, this is a small town, otherwise according to Jiang Gongzi's talent, It will definitely make a name for itself in the capital. ”

Jiang Zipei has really put a lot of effort into painting these paintings these days, and he is naturally very happy to hear Shen Shuang's affirmation, "Miss Shen smiled, if Zipei can show her skills and feet in Gushan Town and get her father's approval, she will be satisfied, the restaurant in the capital is my brother in charge, I don't have that ability, I will only draw some flowers, grasses, insects, fish, birds and beasts, all of this is Miss Shen's suggestion, Zipei is very grateful, in the future, Miss Shen will be the pillar of our Yunlai Building." ”

Shen Shuang smiled, she really didn't know how to respond, she didn't want to be a pillar all the time, she just wanted to eat and wait for death, although she likes to make money, but she has begun to slowly enjoy the current sunrise and sunset life, and earn silver is also to be able to eat and clothe warm, but she is not willing to suffer for the silver anymore, as long as it is enough, she is not the character of a snake swallowing an elephant with insufficient hearts.

"Having said that, these dishes look okay, but they still need to be improved, I wonder if the two chefs have any related innovations? Not only in terms of taste, but also in terms of plating. ”

The two cooks in Yunlailou are both from the capital, and they are also skilled people, and when they heard Shen Shuang's words, the two of them were a little dissatisfied in their hearts.

They followed Jiang Zipei's brothers and sisters all the way to this poor countryside with long mountains and rivers, and they were not convinced, and the business of the restaurant was not good, so they always hoped to close the restaurant and return to the capital soon.

But a few days ago, I learned that their son-in-law actually listened to the advice of a terrible fat village girl to rebuild Yunlai Tower, and asked them to make menus in a different way, and they had long been dissatisfied with Shen Shuang, the village girl, and when they opened their mouths, the two of them naturally did not intend to let Shen Shuang go.

"This turned out to be the Shen girl mentioned by our son, my surname is Tang, everyone calls me Chef Tang, this is Chef Song. Miss Shen doesn't know, the two of us are chefs with their own strengths, our master is the imperial chef of the palace, my specialty dishes are mainly cooking all kinds of meat and snacks, as for Chef Song, we are the chef of Yunlai Building, each dish is not only delicious but also very beautiful through his hands, as for the innovation that Miss Shen said, we don't understand. ”

Shen Shuang understood, although the two cooks have their own skills, but the bad thing is that they have skills, but the characteristics are insufficient, compared to the Manfu Building opposite, no wonder people will not come to the other side.

At the same time, it sounded that the attitude of the two of them was a little arrogant, and they seemed to look down on her.

Shen Shuang sighed in her heart, knowing that it was probably her size that caused the trouble, and the other party probably knew that she was a village girl, someone from the capital, Xu looked down on her, a village girl who might not have much knowledge, after all, not everyone was Jiang Zipei, who was wise and talented.

Jiang Zipei and Jiang Zitong were very unhappy when they heard Chef Tang's words, "Chef Tang, Miss Shen is a distinguished guest I invited, you can say anything directly, but pay attention to your attitude." ”

Chef Tang was shocked, thinking that he was almost out of proportion, and hurriedly apologized to Shen Shuang, but Chef Song never spoke.

Jiang Zitong pulled Shen Shuang, with a little comfort in his eyes, Shen Shuang didn't care, "I can also understand Master Tang's words, and I won't say much else, but I know that Master Tang and Master Song are both dedicated to the good of Yunlailou, and I also hope that Yunlailou is good, since our starting point and purpose are the same, that is, friends." As for the innovation I said, I just hope that the two chefs can take the time to come up with some ingenious new dishes, maybe the ingredients are the same, but the combination of ingredients is ever-changing, as long as the attributes of the food are not compatible, the taste of the dishes will be different. ”

After Shen Shuang finished speaking, Jiang Zitong hurriedly nodded in agreement, and pulled Jiang Zipei to praise Shen Shuang, "Seventh brother, let me tell you, I stayed at Sister Shen's house for two days before I found out that Sister Shen is very good at cooking, she can do anything, and she actually stewed tofu with duck blood, which tastes very good." ”

Jiang Zipei was stunned and looked at Shen Shuang in disbelief, "Duck blood stewed tofu?" Is it the blood of ducks? This ingredient is unheard of. ”

Shen Shuang smiled, "Actually, the taste of duck blood is very good. ”

Jiang Zitong continued to assist, "It's really duck's blood, Sister Shen used a bowl when Uncle Mo killed the duck, Sister Shen also fried celery with duck offal, and cooked rice with duck soup, I have never eaten such a delicious meal, Master Tang and Master Song, I think you should try as much as Sister Shen, maybe you can figure out delicious dishes that attract guests." ”

Chef Tang and Chef Song naturally respect the young lady Jiang Zitong very much, but the two of them are shocked in their hearts, they have been cooks for so many years, but they have never used duck blood and duck offal to stir-fry, as for duck soup cooking, this is even more unheard of.

Chef Tang is more arrogant, but Chef Song is different, after listening to Jiang Zitong's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Shen, can you elaborate on duck blood and duck offal, why can it be used to cook?" That's filth. Also Duck soup refers to the soup made from ducks? I don't know what soup stock Miss Shen uses to cook together, why does she use duck soup to cook rice? This Song is really unheard of, and I hope that Miss Shen will teach her. ”

Chef Tang on the side was naturally also curious, and when he heard Chef Song's inquiry, he couldn't help but look at Shen Shuang, this sounded like a recipe that was not passed down, he felt in his heart that his young lady was exaggerating Shen Shuang's craftsmanship, and besides, no matter how delicious the duck blood and duck offal were, people who had money to eat in the restaurant would not order it, and he was a little disdainful in his heart.
