Chapter 107: Money and Debts Repaid
The dragon gave birth to nine sons, none of whom became dragons, and each was different.
According to ancient Chinese folklore, the son of a dragon is not necessarily a dragon, but may also be a tortoise.
There is already a consensus on this point for the Chinese people.
And the reason why Ivan had an idea and named this turtle pigeon stew as a dragon and phoenix is because according to the legend of the dragon giving birth to nine sons, the six sons are turtle type.
Baxia, also known as 赑屃 (bì xì), resembles a turtle with teeth, likes to bear weight, and is a turtle under the stele.
This is written in ancient books.
As for the pigeon, it is a little far-fetched, and it is not an exaggeration to compare it to a phoenix.
Therefore, according to the whimsical naming method of the dish name, this turtle and pigeon stew is named dragon and phoenix, which is really appropriate.
Others don't say it for the time being, but Wu's mother likes it very much.
There's no way she doesn't like it.
Qinlou is a Qinglou, Qinglou is a place like this, if according to the secular saying, the Qinglou woman is a prostitute, the sound is the same as a chicken, although the guests are mostly high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are said to be prostitutes and guests by the world, both of which are looked down upon.
Now, Ivan's turtle and pigeon stew, if it is brought to Qinlou to push, it is also called dragon and phoenix, which will immediately make the young lady and the prostitutes feel better and become taller.
Wu Ma estimates that aside from the excellent taste of this dish and the effect of nourishing yin and yang, it is estimated that it will be popular just for this name.
Wu's mother was really tempted.
According to her calculating nature, it is still a little distressing to let her take out two thousand taels of silver at once.
And that bargain with Ivan?
She was a little stunned.
If it were someone else, she could still bargain, and she could save a point, but this Yi Gongzi was typical of not getting in and being unkind, she was afraid of bargaining again, but she angered him and made the deal completely collapse.
Why don't you let your own chef copy it?
Wu's mother soon gave up on this idea.
If it's just a copy of fifty or sixty percent, she is still a little sure, if she wants to imitate eighty, ninety or even ten percent, she doesn't expect it at all.
Food is a thing that is almost far away.
This point, she has a deep understanding of the imitation of squirrel fish and Xiaowan soup dumplings.
Moreover, she has a little concern.
As a Qinglou operator, she understands the value of this dragon and phoenix pairing Qinglou.
Such a dish, if Qin Lou doesn't grab it first, as soon as the other Qinglou gets the news, they will grab a lot of people.
If it is really robbed, Qin Lou will have one less signature dish that is extremely tempting and tempting to the guests, and the reputation of the competitor will rise sharply.
It's called the trade-off.
She still has this vision.
Not to mention anything else, in the case of Dongsheng Building, which specializes in catering, just with a farewell concubine, you can be famous in the entire Jinling City, and the business of the entire restaurant is booming.
And now this dragon and phoenix pairing, whether it is the name, taste, or nourishing effect, is better than the overlord Farewell Concubine.
"Yi Gongzi, I want it. ”
Wu's mother was ruthless.
Compared to the huge profits that this dish may bring to Qin Lou, the cost of two thousand taels of silver is actually not high.
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.
What he has been struggling with is that after the development of this turtle pigeon stew, in addition to helping Lao Jiang participate in the competition, he can't play its value at all, which makes him a little depressed.
Now, if he can really sell it to Qin Lou for two thousand taels of silver, it will play a big role, at the very least, his task of saving the celebrity chef should be successfully concluded.
"Go and fetch the money and bring men. ”
Ivan replied quietly.
After sending Wu's mother away, Ivan began to think about another thing.
He found that once a person has mastered a unique skill, it is not difficult to make money.
Just like now, he has innovated a new delicacy after most of his day's effort, and two thousand taels of silver can be easily obtained.
The money came so easily.
But Ivan also has troubles.
He found that it seemed easy to make money in the dungeon, but in reality, he kept posting money, and even the old book was almost gone.
Why is this happening?
Ivan was really puzzled.
He can guarantee that any of these dishes he has innovated will be a rare delicacy even if they are put into reality.
So why isn't there such a money-making opportunity in the dungeon in reality?
Platform, identity.
He quickly thought of this.
In the copy, he is the mysterious Yi Gongzi, and he is dating a famous son like Fang Yizhi, which makes people like Wu Ma dare not underestimate him, and he has the opportunity to talk to others on an equal footing and even standing in a high position.
In reality, he's just a little-known chef who doesn't take him seriously, and he rarely gets the chance to sell his delicious food.
It seems that in reality, we have to find a way to change it.
If he continues to do his job as a lotus chef like this, he will starve himself to death, let alone buy a house, a car, a wife or something.
Because of this realization, Ivan had the idea of changing in reality for the first time.
Mother Wu soon brought someone to bring silver.
Another small box of heavy gold ingots.
With this box of gold ingots, plus what was left before, Dong Xiaowan's debt was no longer a problem.
This made Ivan feel relieved.
"Xiao Wan, subordinates. ”
Ivan commanded lightly.
It's a gesture of treating money like dung.
This made Wu Ma and Fang Yizhi and others admire.
In their opinion, the only person who can take so much gold seriously is someone like Ivan, who has an unfathomable family background.
But in fact, for Ivan, the reason why he was not interested in gold was because he couldn't take it with him.
Anyway, it's quite high.
And for Dong Xiaowan, now it is a mixed feeling.
For her, this happiness came too suddenly.
In the past few months, the family's debts have been like a heavy mountain, weighing her breathlessly, and forcing her to commit to Qinglou to earn money.
Before Ivan appeared, she didn't know when such days would end.
But Ivan's appearance really changed her fate.
In a short period of time, he not only helped her get out of Qin Lou, but now he has helped her solve her debt problem......
The most important thing is that Ivan did all this without expecting anything in return.
He doesn't seem to want my people!
After such a long time, Dong Xiaowan found that Ivan had always been getting along with her with a plain and warm attitude, and was taking her to study cooking together. Other than that, she didn't show any unorthodox thoughts about her people.
Not in words, not in deeds.
Why is this happening?
He doesn't like me?
Such a great kindness, how can she repay it?
At this moment, the only way she could think of to repay her debts was to pay off her debts.
Why don't you leave him in the Moon Tower tonight and give him yourself completely?
