These things have long been taken into account by Hu Changan when he was decorating.

At present, the renovation workers in front are renovating this small courtyard in full swing according to Hu Changan's vision.

The chef was also relieved when he heard this.

Since Hu Changan said it in such detail, he has already thought carefully about these problems and come up with effective solutions.

In that case, as a chef, he won't intervene.

The chef felt that with Hu Chang'an's brilliant mind, he would definitely be able to solve this series of problems.

Finally, the development of the main dish hot pot came to an end.

Next up is the side dishes.

Hu Changan discussed with the chef for a while, and finally chose sour plum juice and small crispy pork as side dishes.

It is also a classic side dish in modern hot pot.

The reason why sour plum juice is chosen is because it quenches both thirst and spiciness.

Just imagine, what a great pleasure it will be for diners to suddenly drink a cup of sweet and sour plum juice when they are out of the body when they are spicy by hot pot!

Of course, the sour plum juice should be chilled.

Although there is no refrigerator in Daming, there are still ice cubes.

The ancients would go to the river to collect ice in the winter, and then put the ice in the underground cellar to store it in mud.

Due to the relatively low temperature and the large volume of ice in the ground, it can often be stored for a long time without melting.

When the summer came to demand ice, the ancients would open a cellar to get ice and sell it to those who needed it.

Of course, this kind of ice cube can only be used by the homes of dignitaries.

The average poor people, at most, occasionally buy a small piece of ice to quench their hunger during the hottest time of summer, which is already the limit.

Although summer is now over, there are still ice cubes in some private ice cellars that have not yet been sold in the summer.

Use these ice cubes to make iced sour plum juice, which is definitely enough.

Hu Changan's hot pot restaurant is aimed at high-end customers.

For high-end customers, it is natural to impress people in the details.

This little money can't be saved!

Not to mention that in a few months it will be winter.

When winter comes, just put the sour plum juice outside and ice it for a while, and you can get a cool and delicious iced sour plum juice.

As for the small crispy pork, it is also one of the must-have dishes in the hot pot restaurant in later generations.

There are many flavors of small crispy meat, and the one Hu Changan chooses here is naturally Sichuan-style small crispy meat.

Fresh meat strips are coated in flour and peppercorns, then fried in a pan before being served hot.

The crispy pepper texture will definitely make customers who have eaten too much boiled feel a different taste bud stimulation.

Of course, the chef also asks for a few more dishes.

After all, in Daming, the more dishes in the restaurant, the better.

The more dishes a restaurant has, the more it shows the skill of the restaurant's chef.

However, Hu Changan rejected the proposal.

As the saying goes, you can't chew more than you can.

Since Hu Changan opened a hot pot restaurant, he naturally wanted to specialize in hot pot.

If there are too many other ingredients in the restaurant, it will dilute the theme of hot pot restaurants.

So, the main dish in the new hot pot restaurant was finalized.

At this time, the chef was also relieved.

Today's mission is complete!

However, Hu Changan felt that today's task was far from being completed.

Looking at the chef, Hu Changan smiled slightly: "How about you write a recipe for the dishes you experimented with today?" ”

As he spoke, Hu Changan ordered the servant on the side to bring paper and pens, ready to write them down while listening to the chef's words.

This time, Hu Changan did not forget the fact that the chef was illiterate.

For this reason, Hu Changan specially called a literate boy to help record.

Now the little people in Hu Mansion are under the spur of Hu Chang'an, and almost everyone can read and write.

If anyone can't read and write, they will definitely be demoted by Hu Changan to the lowest level of sweepers!

So under the urging of Hu Changan, a wave of involution quietly descended on Hu Fuzhong.

All the little guys are studying hard day and night, for fear of being degraded and swept away by Hu Changan.

So now, the little guys who are serving Hu Changan are almost all proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts.

It's just a shorthand, it's not a problem at all.

However, when the chef listened, he was in trouble.

This cooking skill is the foundation of his life!

With this skill, even if Hu Changan immediately dismisses him now, he can change owners and continue to work.

But what if you teach Hu Changan all the skills?

Tut-tut, then he is definitely not far from being fired.

With his recipes, Hu Changan could have changed to an equally experienced chef to cook the dishes.

In this way, he fell into passivity in the workplace.

The chef is not stupid, this unique skill of cooking, even if Hu Changan is now his owner, he will never hand it over.

But in terms of face, it is still necessary to get by.

So the chef pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Master Hu, this cooking skill is the foundation of my life......

As soon as the chef was halfway through his words, Hu Changan understood in seconds.

It turned out that he was afraid that he would teach his apprentice to starve to death of his master.

Seeing this, Hu Changan also smiled slightly, and said: "I also know your hardships, or just like that, as long as you are willing to hand over your skills, how about I even if you buy a hundred percent of the shares?" ”

Into what?

Become a shareholder?

Chef was stunned.

He had never heard such strange words before.

What does this stake mean?

Hu Changan looked at the chef's stunned expression, and said with a smile: "Investing in shares is to share profits." ”

"In other words, as long as you are willing to hand over your craft, I will give you another 10% of the profits on the basis of your salary!"

One percent profit!

The chef's eyes turned red with excitement.

With his many years of experience in the pipe, Hu Changan's restaurant will definitely be in full swing, and I am afraid that it will make tens of thousands of dollars of silver a year.

Although the profit of one percent does not sound too much, if Hu Changan's shop is well run, it must have thousands of taels of silver!

If he gets a few thousand taels of silver a year, tsk, then he will be completely haired!

A few thousand taels of silver can definitely transform him from the working class to the landlord class.

Not only is it not a problem to buy a few fields, but I am afraid that I can also catch up with a concubine!

The chef was heartbroken.

Without too much hesitation, the chef decisively agreed to Hu Changan's proposal.

However, the chef was still a little puzzled: "Master Hu, I don't know what you want my craftsmanship for?" ”

"I can tell you the recipe in detail now, but it doesn't necessarily work if you know it."

"Although you have my recipe, you can ask someone else to replace me, but their craftsmanship may not be better than mine."

"Master Hu, you may not have a thorough understanding of cooking."

"Although it's the same recipe, if you change someone to do it, you may get a very different effect."
