It's been a year and a half since she came here, and in the past year and a half, she has really gained a lot of things, the most important thing is not money, but feelings, and she has gradually become familiar with life here and learned a lot of things.

Although there were many inconveniences in life in ancient times compared to the previous life, there were also many things that were better than the previous life, such as fresh air and fresh environment.

And also......

Someone she likes.

I really want to go to the front line to have a look, but a woman going to the front line is a little shocking, she thinks about waiting for the New Year, the weather is cold during the New Year, if Ye Yuan doesn't come back, she will go to him.

Anyway, now I can shoot arrows, my strength is good, my reaction is also sensitive, and I can ride a horse, so I should be quite safe.

But she only had this idea in her heart, and no one told her.

In the past few days, it has rained, the weather has completely cooled down, Liu Man'er no longer makes ice and sells, and there is one less business, although the other businesses of the store have begun to improve again, but the money earned is still a full third less than before.

Even poor people are willing to buy a warm braised egg, or exchange three eggs from their own house for two, but the problem is that it doesn't make much money, and it is not as profitable as making ice.

The weather is a little cold, Fang's health is not very good these days, some nausea and vomiting, I looked for a doctor, said that her stomach cold is nothing serious, let her go to the medicine hall to buy some pepper for Fang's decoction water in the morning and evening.

This pepper was originally a spicy thing, and it had the effect of dissipating cold and warming the stomach, and after Fang Shi drank it for a few days, his appetite improved, and there was no problem with looking at it.

However, Fang's stomach has never been very good, Liu Man'er thought about eating pepper pork belly seems to be very good for this Fang's disease, and when she came back from the county seat today, she specially went to the market to buy a pork belly and came back.

Speaking of pepper pork belly, it reminds Liu Man'er of a good dish, pepper pork belly chicken!

So she simply asked people to kill a chicken again, pluck out the chicken feathers, take out the contents of the chicken's belly, wash it, stuff it with red dates, wolfberries, longan and other things, and then cut the pork belly into strips and put it into the chicken belly, and sew it together with a toothpick. Then add pepper and salt, stew the soup together, and after about an hour, the pepper pork belly chicken is stewed.

Served on the table, as soon as the lid of the pot is lifted, it is fragrant, the soup base has become milky white, take a sip, it is fragrant and warm, very comfortable.

"Yes, my man's vine will eat it." Fang Shi tasted the soup and nodded again and again, "No one has ever tried to add pepper to the soup." ”

"I thought about what to eat here, my mother and your stomach is not uncomfortable, eating pork belly is right, watching you drink pepper soup every day, I feel sorry for you, so I added it to this pork belly, and thought that you haven't eaten well in the past few days, so I simply killed a chicken to make up for you, I didn't expect to cook it together, it tastes very good." Liu Man'er said with a smile.

"You child is really filial, with your filial piety, my mother thinks this soup is even more delicious." Fang said with a smile.

"If it's good, drink more." Liu Man'er said as she picked up Fang's bowl and scooped her another spoonful.

But when the family was drinking soup happily, Liu Man'er had another calculation in her heart, this pepper pork belly chicken is a famous soup, and it tastes the most delicious in this winter, not to mention, it nourishes the stomach and nourishes the body.

Otherwise, open your own restaurant and use this pepper pork belly chicken as a gimmick?

happened to be in the shop that had been open for so long, and there was a little money left in his hand, so Liu Man'er thought about it.

She opened a restaurant and hired two chefs, as for the business in the snack bar now, let Liu Yunsheng help watch it first, and then let Feihua and Piaohong both go to the snack bar to help, anyway, he will do those things, and then it's time to buy a house, and a few stewards come to do chores in the restaurant.

At that time, this snack bar can also be combined with the restaurant, and the snack bar will be opened next to the restaurant, so there will be no need for so many people and such trouble.

Liu Man'er is a vigorous and resolute person, and after thinking about it, she is ready to do it.

First of all, she went to Steward Wu and told him about this matter, she still hoped to get help from him or the Yan family.

Liu Man'er's snack bar cooperated with him before, so that he also made a lot of money, but now Liu Man'er wants to pull him to open a restaurant, but he is a little hesitant.

Because he said that after all, he is just a slave of the Yan family, and some small shops can still take care of it, and he has no way to do it in a big store like a restaurant, if someone comes to make trouble, he will definitely not be able to stand it.

And Steward Wu said that the reason why Liu Man'er's snack bar can be so peaceful is because of his own young master helping behind, so most of the money Liu Man'er gave him was actually given to this young master.

"Then why don't you bother Brother Wu, tell your young master? It just so happens that there is only a charter for opening a restaurant now, and I don't understand a lot of things, and the young master of the Yan family is well-connected, and it is also very good to introduce me to two excellent chefs. ”

When Liu Man'er heard Steward Wu say this, she simply hit the snake with the stick.

Her pepper pork belly chicken, such a good dish, if you can't let others eat it, it's really disappointing, and her roast duck, when eaten hot in the store, is also the most flavorful, and more than one person regrets that this roast duck can't be drunk with wine while it's hot.

What's more, her shiitake mushrooms have also been grown, and the first crop can be harvested, and then she has one more mountain treasure in her store than others, and she also needs to sell the rabbits she raised herself, so she doesn't have to sell them to others.

Self-produced and self-sold preserved eggs, she planted water chestnuts, and even can help the villagers sell a little vegetables, winter is coming, and it is time to grow her greenhouse vegetables.

I just came here last year, I understand the world, get along with my family, and this year, she feels that she has developed a little.

As long as you think of it, in this winter, if the people in this county eat in her restaurant, you can gather around a round table, drink warm soup, and then scald all kinds of green vegetables in summer and autumn, dipped in sauce, think about it is delicious.

If her restaurant is opened, it will not be possible to think about the business well.

It's just that if you want to open this restaurant, you still need a little help, no matter how many ideas you have, no matter how good the business is, no one can help you.

Nowadays, there are a lot of ruffians and hooligans on the streets, and what I like most is to find trouble with these shops, especially those who make restaurants, if you offend them, put a cockroach in your dish today, and put a mouse in your soup tomorrow, it is really annoying.

The restaurant next to Liu Man'er's shop often encounters this situation, from time to time someone makes trouble, I heard that this store is still a store that has paid protection money, and it seems that there is a little backstage, all of which are all made like this, so people like themselves open a store, so why not?

In fact, if she is open, she is not afraid of them, the problem is that she just wants to make money with peace of mind, and she has no time to deal with these demon moths with them.

Now that she has no backstage, all she can think of is to make profits and cooperate with others.

This Yan family is called Yan Banjia in Liyang County, which means that their mansions, granges, and businesses occupy half of the county, and I heard that their family is also a person in the county town, the capital city, and even the capital, so it is the existence of the emperor in this county, and no one dares to provoke it.

If she can cooperate with the Yan family, Liu Man'er will be able to do business with peace of mind, and when the time comes, she can also rely on the Yan family to develop to the county or even the capital city, until she has the strength and enough to protect herself.

"Girl, I found that you have a big heart." After Steward Wu heard Liu Man'er's words, he said lukewarmly.

Liu Man'er was stunned in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, even if I get on the line with your young master, I won't forget you, not to mention that the bonus of the snack shop is still given to you, that is, my restaurant will open and give you a bonus of ten taels of silver every month!" ”

Ten taels of silver is not a little, this Wu steward has worked hard in the Yan family for a year, but it is only ten taels of silver, Liu Man'er opened her mouth to give her a bonus of ten taels of silver, which is also a temptation for him.

"Sister of the Ye family, this is ten taels of silver, you have to think about it, what if your restaurant can't earn back ten taels of silver in a month? After all, if you want to cooperate with our young master, you naturally have to give profits to our young master. Steward Wu said.

"That's not as good as this, the matter is done, I will personally give you a hundred taels, but I will give you fifty taels of silver first, and I will give you the rest next year." Liu Man'er said.

"Okay, in that case, then I'll try, but I don't know if it will work out or not." Steward Wu said.

Liu Man'er said again: "Even if the matter is not successful, I will give you ten taels of silver for your hard work, and please go and help me speak." ”

"Okay, for the sake of Shopkeeper Ye, you are so sincere, I'll help you talk about it." Seeing that it was profitable, this Wu steward finally agreed.

"Thank you, Steward Wu." Liu Man'er sincerely thanked him.

Although it costs money, as long as things can be done, money is a small matter.

I heard that this Yan family, now the young master of the Yan family has a lot of power, if he can get on the line with the young master of the Yan family, it will really be the best.

I just don't know if Steward Wu can do this, even if the young master of the Yan family agrees to see him, so that he can talk to him, I am afraid that he will not see him because he is a woman.

On the way back to her shop, Liu Man'er was still a little apprehensive.

Now Feihua and Piaohong are both helping in the shop, so Liu Man'er is idle, and she has been figuring out this matter all day.

In the end, I felt that this would not work, so I hid in the attic and pondered these recipes, I had eaten a lot of famous dishes in my previous life, but she used to be a person who could only eat and not cook, but now she can cook and eat.

A person writes the name of the dish on a piece of paper, shiitake mushroom meat slices, shiitake mushroom slippery chicken, these two dishes should be relatively few in other stores, after all, shiitake mushrooms are hard to find, and she is the only one here.

Signature dishes, pepper pork belly chicken, roast duck, these two things alone can attract a lot of people, and then she has a fashionable vegetable in winter, so she doesn't have to worry about bad business at all.

Well, let's have another dish of braised lion's head, tiger skin rabbit meat, dried fried beans, kung pao chicken, roast chicken, blood duck......

Liu Man'er listed the names of the dishes she had eaten in her previous life, counted dozens of dish names, plus some home-cooked side dishes, cold dishes, some unique dishes here, etc., at least hundreds of dishes, seeing these, she didn't have to worry about her opening a restaurant at all.

Since the young master of the Yan family hasn't come to look for her yet, then she will go to tidy up her vegetable garden first, otherwise it will be funny if winter really comes, the restaurant will open, and the vegetables will not be grown.
