Chapter 47: Selling Medicinal Food
Gu Chuanhai led Gu Yunyao lightly bypassing the busy crowd in the backyard, walked to the front, and stood exactly two meters behind the shopkeeper.
Even the shopkeeper was reconciling accounts with Song Cai, Gu Chuanhai pulled Gu Yunyao, and the two of them were standing here.
Even the shopkeeper kept flipping through the account book in his hand, a trace of annoyance flashed on his dark face, and his broad palm stroked a gray goatee. "There have been no major ups and downs in the store's business in the past few months, so why is it that the expenditure on pork procurement on the books every month is 30 taels more than in the past? There are also more than 20 taels of silver in and out of rice noodles? ”
Pork and rice noodles are the main categories of consumption in restaurants, and with the change of seasons, the demand for diners' tastes will fluctuate up and down, but it is definitely a problem to spend an extra fifty taels of silver.
Even the shopkeeper's face was gloomy.
Song Caiban was dressed in a cyan straight dress, and a pair of triangular eyes on his somewhat white face looked a little uneasy, seeing that even the shopkeeper asked, Song Caiban hunched his waist and lowered his head, making himself look very deferential.
"Owner, it's the beginning of May, the pigs raised by the surrounding rural households are not slaughtered at this time, the pigs can't be harvested, the pork is about two cents more expensive than each catty in winter, and the pork we purchased back in the ice cellar in the winter has long been consumed, and naturally the silver used up on the books is naturally a lot." Song Caiban argued.
Even the shopkeeper snapped the ledger shut, and there was no relaxation on his face.
"What about rice noodles? Last year's bumper harvest in the south, the price of rice noodles almost did not fluctuate, twenty taels of silver, even polished rice and white noodles can also buy four thousand catties, Xiao Song, I am related to your uncle, seeing that you have a hard time haha, I asked you to take care of my restaurant's errand, this is a fat difference I also know, the water is clear, there is no fish, you can definitely make some benefits, but you are greedy for dozens of taels of silver a month, my small business in the restaurant, and I am the owner of this is to give you this procurement to make money? ”
Even after the shopkeeper finished speaking, he slapped the table.
Gu Yunyao's eyes narrowed, even the shopkeeper was really tolerant of his subordinates, and when the water was clear, there were no fish, no wonder Gu Chuanhai would say that he was a good person.
Song Cai's waist bent lower. "The owner, you are kind to me, I am too late to be grateful, how can I pit you, the expenditure of rice noodles is because of the negligence of the warehouse management last month, there are a large number of rice noodles moldy, my loyalty to the owner can be learned!"
"Humph!" Even the shopkeeper snorted coldly, and just as he was about to speak again, Song Caiban hurriedly pointed at Gu Yunyao's father and daughter.
"Owner, these two people have been behind you for a long time, and they may also come to you."
Even the shopkeeper frowned, turned around, and saw Gu Chuanhai, even the shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and his eyes carefully swept Gu Chuanhai from top to bottom, and even the shopkeeper stood up with a sigh.
"The fourth is back! Okay, well, no arms, no legs, all back, oops, this day counts, haven't you just been gone for three years! "Even the shopkeeper felt very kind.
I don't know if the indifference of the Gu family is too big compared to the shopkeeper, or if Gu Chuanhai still thinks about this old club, his eyes are a lot moister.
"The owner ......" Gu Chuanhai's voice was hoarse.
Song Caiban's eyes turned happier when he saw that the shopkeeper Lian and Gu Chuanhai seemed to be "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land", and hurriedly said to the shopkeeper Lian: "Boss, I'll go down first, my uncle flashed his waist in the field yesterday and is in the hospital, I'm going to see him." ”
Even the shopkeeper glanced at Song Caiban, and waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go back, call me the treasury manager." ”
Song Caiban sighed, ran out of the backyard with a smoke, glanced at the shopkeeper and Gu Chuanhai, and hurriedly ran towards the warehouse.
"Yaoyao, call Grandpa Lian." Gu Chuanhai pushed Gu Yunyao to the front and said to the shopkeeper, "The owner, this is my daughter Gu Yunyao, the child knows medical skills and has made medicinal food, I don't know if you will accept it." ”
Even the shopkeeper's eyes brightened.
The Dacang Dynasty has been fighting for many years, the court hopes that the people will be healthy, and the status of the doctor is listed at the top of the hundred workers, and the medicinal diet is also highly sought after in the Dacang Dynasty, but the medicinal diet recipe is extremely difficult to find, there are several restaurants in the town that rely on two medicinal dishes to prosper for a long time, he is trying to sell a recipe at a high price, and he can't think of the drowsiness now and the pillow.
"Yes, of course, where?" Even the shopkeeper asked anxiously, pulling Gu Chuanhai over and sitting at the table.
Gu Yunyao called Grandpa Lian and put the crockpot on the table.
Even the shopkeeper couldn't wait to grab the crockpot, but when he saw half of the pig's liver lying inside, his whole face froze, and the excitement on his face was dispelled a lot.
"Fourth, this is ......" Even the shopkeeper took out the pork liver and looked at it several times, looking puzzled.
As soon as Gu Chuanhai was about to speak, Gu Yunyao took the lead. "Even grandpa, this is boiled pork liver, "Materia Medica" has clouds: pig liver is sweet, bitter, warm, nourishing liver and eyes, replenishing qi and blood, diluting water and reducing swelling, I also added astragalus wolfberry when boiling, both of which and ginseng are good medicines for qi, ginseng focuses on the great replenishment of vitality, returning to yang and relieving adversity, often used for collapse, shock and other emergencies, the effect is better. Astragalus and wolfberry are mainly used to replenish deficiency, and are often used for people with long-term body failure, weak speech, and weak pulse, and are the best two-flavor medicinal materials in medicinal diet. ”
Gu Yunyao said slowly that Gu Chuanhai sells this dish in the name of medicinal food, so it is most appropriate for her, an "expert", to speak, otherwise Gu Chuanhai has only heard her talk about the efficacy of pork liver, and it must be nondescript, astragalus and wolfberry are all "added" to the dish by Gu Yunyao, in order to add some weight to his braised pork liver, these two flavors of medicinal materials do not have much impact on the taste of braised pork liver, and it is not too late to add them in the future when this business is discussed.
Sure enough, even the incomprehension on the shopkeeper's face suddenly dissipated a lot, astragalus and wolfberry were two things he had heard, both of which were commonly used in medicinal diets, and although the "Materia Medica" was a classic that doctors in the Dacang Dynasty must memorize, but there was a specialization in the art industry, and people who didn't understand medical skills had never heard of it, and Gu Yunyao could say that the head was the Tao, and the credibility was very high.
It's just that......
"Can you eat this pork liver?" Even the shopkeeper took out a dagger from his waist, cut off a piece and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, the aroma hit people, not worse than braised pork.
Gu Yunyao glanced at Gu Chuanhai, blinked, Gu Chuanhai hurriedly said: "Owner, of course you can eat it, I fought in the border pass, this pork liver has to make meritorious contributions to eat, the border pass is bitter cold and desolate, this pig liver replenishes qi and blood, it is not bad for soldiers." ”
Even the shopkeeper nodded, Gu Chuanhai never cheated and cheated when he worked in Dongxing Building, and he was also honest.
Put the cut pork liver in your mouth, and suddenly a soft taste spreads in your mouth with the aroma of lo-lo.
