Chapter 385: Chicken Porridge and Brown Sugar Pie (3)

The problem of making money is not only thinking about Ah Bing, Wen Mingtang is also thinking, compared to Tang Yuan and Ah Bing, Wen Mingtang has been alone from beginning to end, and there is no way to retreat behind him. When she was obstructed by the concubine Jing who didn't know the suffering of the world, she was thinking about it.

When she first came out of the palace, she considered opening her own restaurant, but at that time she came out of the cage of the palace, and she was not familiar with the world outside the cage.

It's hard to do all the trivial and noisy things like restaurants and houses, but you still have to deal with the troubles in the dark. Peers are jealous, if someone is looking for someone to find fault, what should I do?

Therefore, for Wen Mingtang, who was alone at that time, he had no money and no money, and he was alone, it was the best choice to enter the public kitchen yamen, have food and accommodation, and be a stable public chef.

Later, under the maneuvering of Ji Caimai, Wen Mingtang made the chef's takeaway stall again.

Although opening your own restaurant must be the most profitable, you can buy your own ingredients, arrange for the location of the restaurant, and deal with all kinds of people who find faults, in fact, there are many things to solve.

Wen Mingtang originally thought that he would stay in the kitchen of Dali Temple like this, and make a good takeaway stall, so that he could get a commission, and it would be good to be a shopkeeper with peace of mind.

It wasn't until the end of the year that Concubine Jing jumped out and messed up everyone's original plan.

Thinking of this, Wen Mingtang sighed faintly: The old troubles left by Wen Xuance need to be solved, but in the same way, making money is equally important.

Concubine Jing, who didn't know the suffering of the world, slapped her hard this time, forcing her to withdraw from her stability, thinking that if one day, the public chef really couldn't stay, would it really be feasible to go out and open a restaurant?

She didn't have much savings in the palace for a few years, after all, she was just the identity of a criminal official, plus she had to deal with all kinds of troubles, and in the next few years, she would not be taken care of by Zhao Sishan, so that she would not be able to make ends meet and find Zhao Sishan to help her.

After leaving the palace, he came to the chef of Dali Temple, and Wen Mingtang really saved a lot of money.

After all, she doesn't have any preference for "burning money", she doesn't buy silk and satin, jewelry, and jade in her daily life, and she doesn't appreciate any famous paintings and jade, except for buying one or two books every day to relieve boredom and purchase some ingredients, there is almost no place to use money.

Wen Mingtang closed the door and counted his savings: the savings he had at hand at hand would not be a problem to find a shop in Chang'an City and rent it for a year and a half. But being a restaurant restaurant is not just a shop, and it costs money to tinker with the shop; If the business is up, ask someone for money; Not to mention buying ingredients, the most troublesome thing is to deal with the trouble of dealing with the market.

It is indeed difficult for her to do these things by herself, but there are two Tang Yuan and Ah Bing to add in, not to mention after Zhao Sishan leaves the palace!

Therefore, what she has to consider now is the trouble in the market, and the trouble in herself.

These are not things that money can solve, and someone needs help.

As soon as this thought came out, Lin Fei's face jumped out of Wen Mingtang's mind, but as soon as this face came out, she threw it out: Lin Fei just came over for a meal every day, if he was invited to join the cadre stock, there was Wen Xuance's matter, so I still don't think about it.

The idea of opening a restaurant is good, but it is a bit difficult to actually do.

However, Wen Mingtang did not talk to Ah Bing in detail for the time being, and only praised him for "being responsible", and then said, "This matter needs to be fully planned, and after Zhao Sishan leaves the palace, I will discuss it later." ”

This is not a prevarication, after all, not long after the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Sishan is about to leave the palace, and it will not be more than a month at most after thinking about it, Ah Bing nodded and agreed, and then took over the work in her hand and began to clean up the kitchen.

Wen Mingtang didn't rush to do these little things with him, he only cleaned his hands and walked out of the kitchen yard, but he didn't immediately go to the mourning hall to look for rice balls, but after leaving the yard, he stopped, leaned against the wall and remembered this matter.

Opening a restaurant is naturally troublesome, but no matter how troublesome it is, it is not impossible to solve it one by one.

What Wen Mingtang is really entangled in is the human feelings outside the matter.

When she first came out of the palace, the chef of Dali Temple gave her a place to stay, and she got along well with this group of officials in Dali Temple this year.

If there was no matter for Concubine Jing, she had no intention of leaving.

Right now, if you are really ready to leave, you must go with Tang Yuan and Ah Bing, and the chef who cooks will leave all of a sudden, which is equivalent to leaving a tricky mess for Ji Caimai.

The yamen of Dali Temple is not an idle yamen, and the officials in the yamen are already hard, Wen Mingtang thought about the situation when everyone came to the kitchen to eat when he first saw everyone, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

Although I know that my chef is just an errand, I can do my part well, and I don't have to worry about other things.

But the affection for getting along in the past year is real.

The yamen of the various departments of Darong have a daily duty hour, and the yamen of Dali Temple is no exception, and it has its own prescribed duty time. It is said that when it is time to get off duty, everyone can leave, so why stay up all night looking for the murderer of the case?

Without him, money is an important thing, but there are some things that are more important than money.

Standing in place for a long time and not weighing the pros and cons, Wen Mingtang laughed at his indecision twice, and put this matter behind him for the time being: It's useless to think about this at this time, wait until Zhao Sishan leaves the palace, and Concubine Jing's matter should have progressed, let's talk about it then!

……

Ah Bing's falling out with his family was not hidden from Tangyuan, and he left on a trip that evening, and when he came back, he was carrying two burdens, and at first glance, he knew that he had "run away from home".

In this way, in addition to Zhao You, there is another "vigil".

Wen Mingtang and Tang Yuan cleaned up a room with a pile of miscellaneous items, and let the two of them sleep together.

In a flash, it was the fourth day of the new year, and Wen Mingtang and others sent Lao Yuan on his last journey with the people of Dali Temple.

There were a lot of people who came on the fourth day of the new year, not only Lin Fei but also Zhao Mengzhuo, Wen Mingtang and others were a little surprised, but they didn't feel too surprised: although this Dali Temple Secretary Zhao is going to be a man in two years, he wants to return to his hometown to be a rich man in peace, and he is no longer very in charge of things, and he is also very sleek. But after staying in the yamen of Dali Temple for 20 years, he is actually a very affectionate person in his bones.

Back then, the weather was freezing and the murderer was chased, so that in winter, the joints of the hands and feet would be sore.

Wen Mingtang sighed at Zhao Mengzhuo, who was wearing two thick jackets at the front to see Lao Yuan, but he didn't expect that it would be like that when he saw Zhao Mengzhuo again.
