Chapter 10 The people take food as their heaven
In the end, it was Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia who was in charge, and Velvet worshiped Qin Shouzhuo and signed a new magic contract, although the current assets of the lord's family were only 600 copper coins.
Of course, relying on such a small amount of money is not enough, in order to let Qin Shouzhuo accept Velvet, Princess Sophia also specially allocated a small grocery store to Qin Shouzhuo's name, Velvet has since become the shopkeeper of this grocery store, two men under his command, plus all the goods in the shop, this grocery store just changed the shopkeeper, changed the owner, and everything is as usual on the outside, and it is still operating as usual.
For this reason, Qin Shouzhuo was saddled with a debt of 600 silver coins, which was equivalent to 100 times of Qin Shouzhuo's existing liquidity according to the exchange ratio of gold, silver and copper 1:100:1000.
Don't worry about the two masters, the so-called lice are too much to itch, and there are too many debts to worry about, Qin Shou simply borrowed another 400 silver coins as working capital, and gave Princess Sophia an IOU of 10 gold.
With the storefront, it is natural to have the main goods, in the past, there was a monopoly sales of special products from Her Royal Highness the Princess's fiefdom, and now you can't rely on the specialties of Her Royal Highness's fiefdom to hit the market. Qin Shouzhuo said that he couldn't help much, and hoped that Velvet would find a way to do it himself, including finding a former partner to help.
Of course, it's not easy.
Soon, things took a turn for the better.
In the afternoon, Raphael invited Sophia to dinner at the Duke's Palace, and Her Royal Highness readily agreed. In order to express his gratitude to Her Royal Highness the Princess for helping to solve the Velvet incident, Qin Shouzhuo personally cooked and made several famous dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken, which made Princess Sophia and Rafael want to stop, and shouted, "It's a pity that Qin Shouzhuo doesn't cook often." Seeing such an exaggerated effect, Velvet boldly asked to taste it, and was immediately shocked, saying that if the grocery store was converted into a restaurant, and Qin Shouzhuo served as the head chef, he would definitely be able to sweep the entire imperial capital.
Qin Shouzhuo was very moved when he heard it, and then rejected him.
Jokes aside, cooking is just one of the many skills that I have taught myself in the past to improve my living standards, and it is not really good, but it is just an illusion that the use of many new spices and the freshness of new dishes bring people. Besides, the ODST elite who has been killed in the sea of corpses and blood all year round has become a chef? Are you kidding?
It is impossible for Qin Shouzhuo to be the chef himself, ** A group of chefs requires a lot of time and investment, but these two Qin Shouzhuo are very lacking now, and the restaurant's proposal naturally ended in nothing, but Velvet is worthy of the name of being violent, and the proposal just now was rejected, so he immediately found a new business opportunity.
Seasoning.
As mentioned earlier, Qin Shouchou's cooking skills can only be regarded as middle and upper, after all, he is not a professional chef, and what has helped him get praise is not only the food culture from another world, but also a variety of seasonings. The degree of development of spices in the world of Illis is still relatively high, after all, there are a large number of aristocratic poor and extravagant support, what peppers, pepper and other natural seasonings have a relatively large market share, and the types of mixed finished seasonings are not small, but seasonings are such things, the more categories are always better, every once in a while there are always better seasonings are developed, and those nobles who have so much money that they don't know how to spend it never hesitate to invest money in this kind of thing.
This is a mature market, it is not difficult to obtain raw materials, and the grocery store itself also has a seasoning business, and the store itself has a very healthy seasoning inventory and supply, which has laid the foundation for Qin Shouzhuo to mass-produce seasonings, after all, seasonings are such a thing, and if you want to make a lot of money, you still have to rely on shipments.
Qin Shouzhuo handed over a recipe for mixing spices to Velvet and ordered Velvet to organize production and sales, since the big butler had such a high opinion of him, it must be possible to keep it secret. Moreover, even if it leaks out, it doesn't matter, the recipe handed over to Velvet is the well-known thirteen spices at home and abroad, but the thirteen incense is not only such a mixture, nor is it necessarily a mixture of thirteen spices, dozens of spices are mixed with each other, and there are hundreds of excellent recipes, these are the best recipes that have been finally determined after thousands of continuous experiments, and these recipes are still firmly placed in the depths of Qin Shouzhuo's memory.
Ordering Wilvet to organize production and sales was a small test for him, after all, the magic contract guaranteed that he would not betray, but that did not mean that he would not be passive in his work. As long as Velvet's performance is qualified, Qin Shouzhuo will slowly come up with more seasoning recipes, and the category will also be expanded to every part of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, forming a seasoning empire and constantly earning income for Qin Shouzhuo.
The people live on food. No matter what kind of world it is, the food industry always has unlimited business opportunities, and to the extent of the condiment empire, it can also get involved in the production of raw materials, planting, and restaurants and other industries, carry out the development of the whole industry chain, and eventually form a monopoly trust.
Of course, that's all for later.
When he went to the Imperial Capital City Hall to go through the procedures for the transfer of the grocery store and the registration of the new chamber of commerce, he was so nervous that he was almost nervous, and he was so nervous that he didn't know the inside story and accompanied him through the procedures.
In the afternoon of the same day, a new chamber of commerce was established in such a low-key manner, and after twenty years, everyone knew the name, and now there is not even a signboard. Its name was decided by Qin Shouzhuo himself, and it was called "Food for the Sky".
........................
Someone is naturally responsible for the transfer procedures and follow-up operation of the grocery store, and there is no need for Qin Shou to worry about it, just be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind, just wait for the silver - even if there is no thirteen incense formula, the business system of the princess's mansion will not treat this small grocery store that has just left the organization, and Her Royal Highness the princess's attitude is there, anyway, it doesn't cost much, so the aristocratic system is good......
In fact, when Velvet left the courtyard, he had already received orders that were enough to pay off all the arrears, all from the various systems of the princess's mansion merchant group.
Qin Shouzhuo, who added a sum of income but didn't have to pay any labor, knew very well the source of this money, although he simply got the shop under the feudal aristocratic ruling system, but it made Her Royal Highness the princess unhappy, and it was only a matter of one sentence to take back the shop.
Therefore, even if there is a promising (self-confessed) grocery store under his name, Qin Shouzhuo's main job is still to serve the two young ladies well.
After dealing with the matter of Velvett, the two eldest ladies who flew out of the birdcage were unwilling to go home so simply, and decided to pay a private visit to the house, go shopping, and the big housekeeper who heard the words change in the direction of this dead father changed his expressionless face when he dealt with a promising shopkeeper of his own family just now, and his gray hair was about to stand up, and he tried his best to persuade Her Royal Highness the princess to dispel this unrealistic idea, and at the same time her eyes were staring at Qin Shouzhuo, and the message from her sight was simple and clear: "Get your eldest lady, go home and play with eggs obediently!"
Qin Shouchu was helpless, sighed and said: "Miss Rafeier, we have almost rested when we arrived in the imperial capital, we have to go to the Imperial University to register tomorrow anyway, the time is almost over, let's go back and prepare today, there will be more opportunities to come out and play in the future." ”
Hearing the first half of the sentence, the big housekeeper who couldn't wait to follow the nod, heard the second half of the sentence, what "there are more opportunities to come out to play in the future", his face turned green, and he shouted in his heart, "If you want to go with your own lady, your Royal Highness the princess must not follow the !!mess", I almost couldn't help but draw a cross on the spot, and I heard Her Royal Highness the princess really live up to expectations:
"Yes, I won't go shopping today, Raphael better go back and prepare for tomorrow's exam, let's go out and play together in a few days." ”
The butler's face gradually turned from green to black, his teeth creaked, and his gray hair tended to turn to pure white......
Back at the Duke's Palace, Qin Shouzhuo, who consciously completed another big thing, took out a barbecue meal to return to Princess Sophia and Miss Raphael, which was also a large amount of meat, and the two young ladies not only did not feel greasy, but both ate so much that their lower abdomen was slightly distended, and they hummed comfortably, and they couldn't get up while lying in the viewing pavilion.
Knowing the result, the chef of the Duke's Court sat on the threshold of the small kitchen, which was deserted and unfired, and smoked from dusk until dark, and then slowly walked back to the courtyard where he lived. He didn't say a word from beginning to end, exuding a powerful aura that no one could enter, and the apprentices didn't dare to approach, so they bowed their heads and stayed away.
If there is any difference between the barbecue made by Qin Shouzhuo and the chef's dishes, it is that Qin Shouzhuo has some more brownish-yellow powder, if it is an earthling, he can smell what it is from a distance of three meters, some cumin powder. The barbecue artifact cumin powder + pepper was all exchanged by Qin Shouzhuo from the incense shop, Qin Shouzhuo couldn't understand how these two things were mixed into the category of incense, especially pepper, don't you choke?
If there is anything special, it is probably another artifact in Qin Shouzhuo's hand - stone grinding.
A small stone mill has changed the function of many materials, and the world of Elis has not invented it, to make powdery things with a hammer, the finished product is far inferior to the stone mill in terms of fineness and uniformity of particles. What's more, cumin and pepper are mostly used to burn in the Elise world—although Qin Shouzhuo can't imagine what it feels like for these two things to burn.
Princess Sophia, who had eaten and drunk enough, drove home satisfied, and the heart of the chief butler fell to the ground.
Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, Qin Shouzhuo woke up Rafeier to go to the Imperial University to register, and when he was about to go out, he met the chamberlain sent by Princess Sophia, and told them that the registration matter had been completed by Her Royal Highness the Princess last night, and asked Rafeier to 'seize the opportunity' and Qin Shouzhuo to be at home (training) and rest (feeling), as long as they played well in the entrance exam.
Qin Shouzhuo, who received the notice, raised his understanding of Princess Sophia's energy again, in order to prepare for admission, Qin Shouzhuo read a lot of information, the Imperial University has strict rules, and there has even been a major political crisis where the crown prince was withdrawn from school, it can be said that it is the most noble place in the imperial capital, and it is particularly taboo to sign up in absentia, and the princess's mansion is really unfathomable.
"Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the Princess is quite powerful, doesn't it mean that Imperial University is known for its strictness, and it can actually make us absent from the registration of such a thing. ”
"Sister Sophia is the student president~ Awesome, didn't I tell you?"
“............ Eh!!"
