Chapter 31: Imperial Chef Sun Huaimin
The Yongan blacksmith shop and the Chengxi glaze shop are very good.
It didn't take long for the first samples to be made.
But it was directly rejected by Gu Beichuan, because it was really difficult to meet the requirements.
This is also something that can't be helped, craftsmen are not taken seriously in Daqian.
As a result, the level of many processes is relatively low.
But fortunately, Gu Beichuan made a generous move, and the price he gave was several percent higher than the market price.
So they're willing to toss.
In this way, it was changed more than a dozen times before it was finally finalized and mass production began.
And by this time, Fauber had also returned.
Not only did they bring back a large amount of sugarcane, chickens and birds, but even many young people from the countryside.
This is not surprising, after all, Feihong's salary and treatment are there.
Working in Feihong is much better than working in the field.
So when Fauber said that he wanted to recruit people to work, everyone in the village, from the old and the decrepit, down to the fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, rushed to come.
In the end, even if Fubo only needs to be young and strong, there will be a lot of people.
Finally, there is the procurement of table salt.
Originally, it was not allowed to purchase so much at one time, but it was not until Gu Beichuan took out the deed of Feihong Restaurant that the government agreed.
It can be seen that the Daqian Dynasty still had strict control over salt and iron.
After everything was gathered, Gu Beichuan was completely busy.
Although he has already written the [sucrose preparation method], [chicken refining method] and [refined salt preparation method].
But to his surprise, most of the masters were illiterate!
And even if you are literate, you can't understand the meaning.
In desperation, Gu Beichuan could only demonstrate in person.
The refined salt preparation method is actually the simplest, which is to mash the purchased sea salt salt, dissolve it in water, and then filter and distill.
The chicken refining method is not difficult, that is, the chicken is deboned, the chicken is shredded, the mushrooms are added, hammered and forged, and finally ground into powder.
The most difficult thing is sucrose, you have to squeeze out the sugarcane juice first, then add limestone to make the dirt precipitate, and then filter it several times to get a relatively clear sugarcane juice.
Finally, a series of steps of distillation and filtration with sugar cane juice are carried out to obtain sucrose.
But whether it is table salt, chicken essence or sucrose, it is only a rough version.
First, Gu Beichuan couldn't remember the complete method, so he could only remember a rough idea.
The second is that the equipment is not professional enough, many modern equipment does not have it, but even so, it is enough.
……
Huainan city center.
Tenglong Restaurant.
Zhao Tenglong looked at the lively Feihong Restaurant across the street, and then looked at the Tenglong Restaurant that was extremely deserted and empty, and couldn't bear to be desolate for a while.
Perhaps, in less than half a month, Tenglong will have to close its doors.
Zhao Tenglong is a tall man who has a strong body since he was a child, so he can make friends with some three religions and nine streams, and fight bravely with others. Therefore, meeting head-on can often give people an indescribable ferocity.
But now, he was only sitting on the bench, his face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and there was still the slightest hint of ferocity.
Bang bang bang!
At this time, someone knocked on the door of Tenglong Restaurant.
Zhao Tenglong's eyes froze, sat up, and cheered up a little.
But after seeing the person clearly, he lay back bored.
"What? Zhao Dongjia doesn't want to see me like this? ”
It was a thin old man with a sharp beak and shrewd eyes.
Zhao Tenglong recognized him, the owner of Liu Ji Restaurant in the east of the city, and he was a peer.
If they usually meet, he still pretends to be a little bit and greets him.
But now, he has become like this, so naturally he has no interest, and it is good that he has not spoken out to drive away.
"Zhao Dong's family has suffered a big change, and he has lost his heart, so he naturally doesn't want to deal with us and others." There was another voice, this time it was the owner of Zhouji Restaurant in the north of the city.
Immediately after, one figure after another appeared.
The owners of restaurants with a slight scale in Huainan gathered in Tenglong Restaurant at this moment!
It was only at this time that Zhao Tenglong's eyes were a little surprised, and he said:
"What kind of wind is blowing this day, and it has brought you all to me."
"Zhao Dongjia, Ming people don't say secret words, we are also old acquaintances, so we will get straight to the point."
"Since the appearance of Feihong Restaurant and four famous wines, the business of several of our families has been getting worse and worse day by day!"
"In the past, I could earn hundreds of taels of silver a month, but now, I don't earn more than half of what I used to earn!"
"If we let Feihong Restaurant continue, I'm afraid we will all close down."
Hearing this, Zhao Tenglong was surprised.
He knew that Feihong Restaurant was very popular, but he didn't expect it to become so popular.
It has threatened the entire Huainan restaurant.
"When it comes to restaurants now, everyone thinks of Feihong, how can anyone remember me and wait?"
"So, we have to think of a way to rub Feihong's sharpness." On behalf of everyone, Liu Dongjia finally expressed his intentions.
But Zhao Tenglong shook his head and said:
"You think too simply, Feihong cuisine is doing well, and there are four famous wines and other characteristics, how can we compete?"
"Just because we can't fight doesn't mean others can't fight either."
Hearing this, Zhao Tenglong finally realized that something was wrong.
These people didn't come to discuss their ideas. But they already have an idea, so they come to find themselves!
"Tell me, what have you come up with?"
Zhao Tenglong stood up from the recliner suddenly, and his eyes shone brightly.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to defeat Feihong and regain the source of customers.
It can be said that among the people present, no one has a greater grudge than him and Feihong.
If it weren't for Feihong's unstoppable momentum, even if he took the Tenglong Restaurant, he would have to disgust Gu Beichuan fiercely.
If he hadn't come out of nowhere, Huai Cai would have sold the restaurant to me!
This is all our Zhao family's industry!
Why sell to an outsider?
If it is given to me, now it is like a market, and it is still Tenglong who is very lively!
At that time, Tenglong may replace Feihong and become the largest restaurant in Huainan!
But now, there's nothing!
How can you call him not to hate?
"Does the Zhao Dongjia know the imperial chef Sun Huaimin?" Seeing Zhao Tenglong's reaction, everyone knew that the matter was mostly stable.
"Imperial Chef Sun Huaimin!"
Zhao Tenglong was shocked, this is the imperial kitchen of the Great Qian Palace, cooking for the royal family and nobles!
Moreover, Sun Huaimin is also a leader in the imperial kitchen, and various dishes can be said to be at his fingertips.
If such a person begs for bones, he is afraid that all restaurants in the world will compete for it.
After all, the signature of the imperial kitchen is too big!
Just when Zhao Tenglong was still immersed in Sun Huaimin's prestige, Liu Dongjia's next sentence almost made him jump in shock.
"Imperial chef Sun Huaimin, coming to Huainan!"
