CHAPTER XXVI
There is a very famous restaurant on the street of East Street, called Chunmanlou.
The food here is very famous, and the diners who come here are also in a steady stream. Many powerful people also like to eat or stay here.
When life was not so bad before, Zhang Jihan also ate a few times in Chunmanlou. But it only comes after you win.
Chunmanlou has a total of three floors, a lobby, a private room, and the top floor is the accommodation room. It was the time of the meal, and it could be said that the Chunman Building was overcrowded, and there were no vacant seats in the lobby.
Xiao Er walked back and forth between the dining tables with a white towel, and the tip of his nose was full of sweat.
Liu Meiniang was shocked by the noisy scene inside, and then sighed that this spring building is really profitable.
Just thinking about it, Liu Meiniang suddenly realized something.
More people means that consumption is also high, and there is an endless stream of guests every day in this spring building, and the demand for vegetables must be very large.
This is a business opportunity!
Liu Meiniang thought of this, and immediately patted her head and dragged Zhang Jihan into the Chunman Building.
"Please, two of you." Xiao Er held the dinner plate, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and said enthusiastically.
Liu Meiniang thought that the service attitude of the shopkeeper was quite good, although the two of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and they didn't look like a rich person at first glance, but they didn't look down on them at all. is still warmly welcoming people inside.
"Are you two going to be a top hitter or staying in a hotel?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile, his eyes shining.
"Eat ......" Liu Meiniang hesitated, "Let's have a meal." ”
In fact, she wanted to find the boss of Chunmanlou directly, but as soon as the shopkeeper said this, she could only endure the pain of spending a sum of money to eat.
Liu Meiniang plans to wait for the meal and find the boss of Chunmanlou when there are not so many people.
"Okay. The most famous of our spring buildings are braised lion's head, braised pork, boiled shrimp, steamed mandarin fish, ......" The shopkeeper held the name of the dish, "The stir-fried vegetables are also good, what do you want to see?" ”
Before Zhang Jihan finished saying the word "red", Liu Meiniang quickly interrupted him, "Then let's have a stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a green onion mixed with tofu." ”
Zhang Jihan sighed helplessly. It's hard to come back to the Spring Manlou and eat vegetarian dishes, so what's the matter......
The shopkeeper was stunned, "Okay, then you will command if you don't have enough for a while." ”
"Okay." Liu Meiniang nodded, and then walked around the lobby, trying to find a place to sit.
The shopkeeper is very discerning, "There is no place in this lobby, there are still some private rooms upstairs, can you two go up and sit?" ”
"Sit!" Zhang Jihan answered without hesitation this time.
Private dining rooms are a bit more expensive than lobby dining, but they don't cost much.
After tossing for a long time, he didn't see a single meat dish, and if he didn't eat because he didn't have a place, he would probably die.
Liu Meiniang glanced at her brother-in-law and didn't speak.
"Come with me, two of you." The shopkeeper said politely.
The environment of the private room is much better than the lobby, which is more quiet and suitable for discussing things. It's similar to a modern coffee shop and teahouse.
There was a pot of tea on the table. Liu Meiniang poured a cup of tea and tasted it, and it was actually quite a good tea. Best of all, the tea here is free. From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that this Chunmanlou has a good reputation.
A window was opened on the west side of the private room in the direction of the street, and the diagonal opposite of the Chunmanlou was the Fengyue Building. Just by standing by the window, you can see the scene on the other side. Not only that, but the entire East Street can be seen almost.
When Liu Meiniang looked over there, she happened to see Boss Wang who was pulling and pulling with the old bustard at the door of Fengyue Tower, and Wang Dayi was also followed behind him. Liu Meiniang immediately rolled her eyes.
Sooner or later you'll have to die in a woman's bed! She snorted inwardly.
Speaking of which, this Wang Dayi is really not a thing, and it is estimated that he has done that kind of thing once or twice. Although it is just a small minion who follows Boss Wang, this purse is full.
The speed of serving in Chun Manlou was still quite good, and it didn't take long for their two dishes to be served by Xiao Er, along with two bowls of white rice.
The rice is distinct, and the feeling of chewing in your mouth is completely different from the rice they usually eat.
The shallots and tofu are topped with sesame oil, and the special aroma is simply mouth-watering – even if it's just a very simple dish.
The color of the stir-fried vegetables is very beautiful, and it can arouse people's appetite. But there's always something missing in the taste – the vegetables are a little old. It is estimated that it is a problem with the ingredients.
This is similar to Liu Meiniang's estimate.
The master chef of Chunmanlou has absolutely nothing to say about the level of stir-frying, but the ingredients still need to be improved.
If you can become a vegetable supply channel for Chun Manlou, then the money will come to your pocket.
Liu Meiniang decided, this entry is this plate of stir-fried vegetables!
Although it was only two vegetarian dishes, Zhang Jihan still ate very happily. Gobbling it up, those who know know that it is a vegetable, and those who don't know still think that this is a delicacies of the mountains and seas.
Liu Meiniang sighed in her heart.
"Is it delicious?" Liu Meiniang asked knowingly.
Zhang Jihan swallowed the rice in his mouth and said with some difficulty: "It's delicious." ”
"But I don't think it's the best way to do it." Liu Meiniang said.
Zhang Jihan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Liu Meiniang with an expression of "What are you kidding?" There is nothing bad about the food he makes. ”
"I'm not talking about his craft, I'm talking about vegetables." Liu Meiniang picked up a small cabbage leaf.
Although the color of the cabbage is beautiful, it is always wilting. It's a lump on a plate.
Zhang Jihan didn't understand what Liu Meiniang meant, and he still looked confused.
Immediately after, he saw Liu Meiniang put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and opened the wooden door of the private room, and shouted: "Little Er! ”
The shopkeeper quickly ran up, "What do you two need?" ”
Liu Meiniang frowned, "If you need it, I just want to ask why today's vegetables are so wilting." It tastes poor. ”
"This ......" the shopkeeper scratched his head, he had never met such a guest. In the past, they have been praised for their food, but this is the first time that someone has said no.
"My brother and I came here to try Master Yang's craftsmanship, but as soon as we ate this vegetable, we found that it was just that. The vegetables are too old, chewing like old bark, you Chunmanlou is fooling guests with such dishes? Liu Meiniang was aggressive, "I'm afraid that if this reputation is not out, my heart will float and I won't cook well." ”
"Where are you, it's absolutely impossible." The shopkeeper denied it without thinking about it, "Why don't I take this dish down for you, and you can change the dish?" ”
"Do you collect money?" Zhang Jihan's eyes lit up.
The shopkeeper laughed twice, "...... Harvest. ”
"So what do you say? Isn't this just a forced buying and selling? Zhang Jihan pursed his lips.
"How dare this little one?" The shopkeeper simply wanted to cry without tears.
It was you who said that the food was not delicious, and I kindly proposed to change it for you, why is it still mine? The shopkeeper shouted in his heart.
"Anyway, I won't eat this dish, call your boss over, I want to talk to him about the problem." Liu Meiniang struck while the iron was hot.
"Girl, why are you doing this?" As soon as the shopkeeper heard that the other party was going to call the boss over, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back.
The woman in front of her seems to be a difficult person to mess with, what if she takes the opportunity to sue her boss for her case?
"Call your boss." Liu Meiniang did not back down, "If you don't want to, I'll find someone else who is willing." When the time comes, I'm going to say that your service attitude is not good. ”
The shopkeeper couldn't, so he could only agree.
Sure enough, he was right not to underestimate these two people. Although they were wearing coarse cloth clothes, this woman's aura was like that of ordinary women. It must be two rich people who come to pretend to be poor!
After a while, the shopkeeper brought the boss over.
It was a tall, thin man, holding a folding fan in his hand, a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a jade wrench on his thumb, looking like a businessman's shrewdness.
"You two are looking for me?" The boss's gaze wandered over the two people in front of him.
"Yes." Liu Meiniang is neither humble nor arrogant, "Your surname?" ”
"Don't have a high surname. What do you call the two of you? Boss Gao casually pulled up a chair at the dinner table and sat down.
"It doesn't matter." Liu Meiniang said, "We came to Boss Gao to talk about this dish. ”
Boss Gao looked at Liu Meiniang with interest and smiled lightly, "The dishes are taken care of by Master Yang, you should look for him instead of me for these things." ”
"No, I'm talking about the selection of ingredients. Chef Yang only cooks, and you take care of the rest. Liu Meiniang waved her hand, a serious way.
"Oh?" Boss Gao became interested all of a sudden, "Then tell me, what's wrong with this ingredient?" ”
Zhang Jihan only now realized why Liu Meiniang wanted to pick the dishes, it turned out that she wanted to use this reason to promote her own vegetables.
He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. The brain of a person who has studied is not as bright as his sister-in-law.
"In general, there are no big problems with the ingredients, they are all absolutely healthy and edible. But the quality of this vegetable is not good, and it is always wilted. As a result, the taste of the fried cannot reach the best. Liu Meiniang said, picking up a piece with chopsticks and said.
"The girl is right, the quality of this dish is really not very good." Boss Gao is a person who has one thing to say and two things to say, and he does not deny this, "But you also said that this is not a big problem." Besides, we buy all the vegetables from the fields, and we can only do this at the highest level. ”
"No, it can be raised." Liu Meiniang is categorical.
