Chapter 054: Teahouse Becomes Restaurant
Ye Leek Ya walked around and found that the variety of wine in the shop is quite rich, but it is used to cooking dishes, and the locals are used to using rice wine and rice wine.
There are also various sauces sold in this shop, such as fish sauce, meat sauce, clear sauce, hot sauce, etc.
Soy sauce is brewed from soybeans, and there are many kinds of edible oils, including sesame oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, tea oil, etc.
The store also sells cane sugar, earth rock sugar and honey, and after turning around, Ye Leek Bud nodded, these condiments are of very good quality, and it seems that the types of spices in this ancient world are not as few as I imagined.
However, Ye Leek Bud found that there were no fragrant condiments here.
For example, some sea rice, sea rice noodles, kelp seaweed, etc., as well as fennel, cloves, cinnamon, sand seeds, tangerine peel, licorice, angelica, Chuanxiong, etc.
However, she quickly thought that the seafood might be sold in Jianzhou Mansion, and the spices in the back would probably have to be bought at the pharmacy.
As for what salt and pepper powder, spicy powder, five-spice powder, sand tea powder, shrimp oil, bad oil, fish sauce, sweet noodle sauce, bean paste, Sichuan pepper, pepper, mustard, etc., I didn't see a single star.
According to what Ye Ying just said about the lack of spices in her inn, Ye Ying bought some of them.
Then she asked Ye Ying to take her to the pharmacy to buy spices, and it happened that the pharmacy still sold peppercorns and peppercorns.
It turned out that they used these two things as medicinal herbs to ward off cold and dampness.
The seasonings have been bought, Ye Ying is going to take Ye Leek Sprouts to the Egret Academy to find Ye Wenshan, and when she comes back from the academy, it will be just evening, so she can buy some vegetables to take back.
Ye Leek Ya walked while looking at what shops were on both sides of the street, and when he arrived at a prosperous area, he saw a three-story building standing in front of Fuchun Creek in the distance, Ye Leek Ya's face immediately showed doubt.
This place is a one- or two-story shop, this building stands out very conspicuously, Ye Leek Ya looks at this building a little familiar, but it is a little different from her impression.
Ye Leek Ya approached, and the big gold-lettered signboard on this building appeared in front of her eyesβ"Pinxiang Pavilion", three big characters shining in the sun.
"Sister, wasn't this place my mother's teahouse before? It's a little different, didn't it mean that grandpa rented the teahouse to his uncle's house to open a ready-to-wear shop? How did it become a restaurant? Ye Leek Ya pointed to the building and asked.
"Well, originally this building was opened by the fifth aunt Tinghuxuan Teahouse, and later rented to my uncle's house, it was originally a ready-to-wear shop, yes, but my uncle made a loss-making transaction, and the ready-to-wear shop went out of business.
Later, Uncle Wen Zhong, the eldest son of his uncle, partnered with his brother-in-law to open this restaurant, and added one floor, which was changed to the current appearance. I heard that the business is still very good, and it is almost catching up with the Tianxue House near Dahua Temple. β
"So? The business is so good, grandma should receive a lot of rent! Ye Leoya pondered that if the business of this restaurant was doing well, it would be easy to earn a hundred taels of silver a month.
The conditions of the uncle's family are very good, why haven't I seen their family interact with grandma? I haven't been to the old house for the New Year.
"Don't mention it! When my grandfather rented the teahouse to my uncle, he said that he would pay three taels of silver every month, and my grandfather didn't care so much about the brothers.
Uncle Wen Zhong said that he wanted to make a note, and it would take five years to sign the contract, but later the eldest uncle came forward to change it to two years, and then he would raise ten taels of rent in the next year. Ye Ying spoke eloquently, but her tone was a little indignant.
