Chapter 452: I'm going to take her back to the Western Regions
The restaurant has returned to its former liveliness, and Shopkeeper Guo is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, not to mention how happy he is.
Now that the business of the seafood restaurant has been stabilized, Su Qingyan was not idle, and went to Nanpinglou on the way.
This is the first time she went to see Boss Sun since she came back, and the two have been separated for a few months, and they don't feel unfamiliar when they meet again.
"Concubine Su, you have had a lot of happy events recently, I should say congratulations."
Su Qingyan waved his hand, "These polite words are exempt, how is the business in the building recently?" ”
"It's always been tepid." Although the cuisine of Nanping House and Seafood Restaurant is completely different, they are both restaurants in the end.
Now that business is booming over there, it's only natural that this place will be a little more deserted.
"I learned a lot of new dishes on this trip to the Western Regions, which I can teach the chefs here, as long as I have my own characteristics, I will definitely attract many diners to come and eat."
The love of seafood and the love of home cooking are two different audiences, so they are fundamentally not in conflict.
Western cuisine is currently very unpopular in Kyoto City, and there are almost no restaurants and inns that will do it, as long as Nanping Lou is launched first, it will definitely attract many people.
"Western cuisine? Can the people of our Daliang get used to it? ”
"Of course, I've tasted each one myself, and it's all quite unique and very palatable."
Sun Yecai nodded, "Since Concubine Su has said so, then I have no objection, everything is up to your arrangement." ”
"Well, I'll go to the kitchen first."
When he lived in the Western Regions Palace before, Su Qingyan was hardly idle, either busy with the chores in the harem or running to the imperial dining room.
She has an extraordinary talent for cooking, so she knows how to cook most dishes with just a few glances, and she understands the essence in a few days.
It is believed that once these delicacies are launched, they will definitely be able to make the business of Nanping Lou prosperous.
After being busy in the back kitchen for more than half an hour, Su Qingyan made three dishes, compared to the color, flavor and flavor of the beams, the dishes of the Western Regions pay more attention to the color and surface refinement.
These dishes are mouth-watering just by putting them there, and I can't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste them immediately.
"Boss Sun, the dish is ready, you can taste it."
"Okay." Sun Yecai put a chopstick in his mouth, the taste was a little sweet, but he didn't feel tired, "This taste is really peculiar." ”
Su Qingyan said with a smile: "Let's launch it in its original flavor first, if the diners don't like it too sweet, you can improve it on the basis, cooking, it is the most important thing to be able to capture the taste buds of the guests." ”
There is a reason for that.
"I have carefully taught the chef how to make these dishes, and you have worked hard these days, trying to make them several times until the taste is impeccable, and then serve them to the guests."
"Okay, I remember."
After finishing the business, Su Qingyan felt a little tired, and was taken upstairs by Boss Sun to rest.
"Concubine Su, now that you are pregnant, you still have to rest."
Su Qingyan sighed, "This kid didn't come at the right time, because because of him, he delayed me a lot of business." ”
"The child is destined, he has to come when he should come, and besides, it's never too late to earn money."
"It's still Boss Sun who sees things brightly."
"Hahaha, I'm getting older, and my mouth has become trivial, don't mind Concubine Su."
"How?" Su Qingyan poured a cup of tea and took a few sips, then asked, "I have something I want to ask you about." ”
"Concubine Su, please speak."
"In the days I'm gone, have there been any changes in the Chamber of Commerce?"
Sun Yecai was stunned for a moment, his face became a little complicated, "Concubine Su has many trusted people in the Chamber of Commerce, and her friendship is much deeper than mine, you should ask them about this kind of thing, why do you want to ask me?" ”
"It is precisely because it is too familiar that some things are difficult to take care of, and Boss Sun should be able to understand this."
"Of course I do." If it's just a friend, a lot of things will pass with one eye turned a blind eye, but there is an extra layer of business relationship on top of friends.
If they all do things for the Chamber of Commerce in a down-to-earth manner, then there is nothing worth caring about, but if someone has a different heart and makes some small moves behind their backs, should they be put on the table?
If you say it, it will inevitably affect the relationship and affection between each other, but if you don't say it, it will become a cover-up, and it will inevitably go wrong in the long run.
"Boss Sun, you have always been straightforward, you will say whatever you want, and you won't scruple too much, so I will come to ask you, I hope you can speak up and don't have to hide it for anyone."
"Ugh." Sun Yecai said helplessly, "I didn't plan to get involved in this matter, but since Concubine Su said so, I can only say it frankly." ”
"Who's doing something in the shadows?"
"What kind of woman does Concubine Su think Qianrong is?"
Su Qingyan recalled for a moment and said, "This woman is very smart, she knows what she should do, and she also knows how to fight for it. But she has no one to rely on, so she can only help me in business wholeheartedly, and it is because of this that I will reuse her. ”
"There will be two extremes of helplessness, one is to do things for you loyally, and the other is to do whatever you do, you have no worries at all."
Su Qingyan heard the seriousness of the matter, "What happened specifically, I hope Boss Sun will tell me in detail." ”
"You explained before you left, let me keep an eye on the accounts in the various shops of the Chamber of Commerce, I take this matter to heart, and I will check the accounts on the first day of the new year of every month, only Qianrong's Sinan Fang has been in a state of not earning money or losing money."
"Sinan Fang has a special assembly line, and all kinds of jewelry and clothes sold in it are also high-quality products, and every time it is sold, there is a lot of profit, and it is impossible to maintain a state of no loss or profit."
"I thought so too, so I kept an eye on it, and found that she had done something to the accounts, and most of the money had been secretly transferred."
Su Qingyan was puzzled, "Why did she do this?" ”
A woman who has lost her husband and has no one to rely on is of little use in asking for so much silver, so why would she take such a big risk to make false accounts?
"Concubine Su, although Qianrong has lost her husband's family, she still has her mother's family."
"I once asked about this, and Qianrong said that since she got married, she has no contact with her mother's relatives, and even if there are a few occasionally, she thinks she is miserable and does not want to communicate."
Sun Yecai: "It's been like this all these years, and poor relatives can't avoid it one by one, but as soon as I heard that she had a good life and opened a shop, I couldn't wait to paste it upside down, and shamelessly stuck to Qianrong's body to suck blood." ”
"You mean, she embezzled all the money from the shop and used it all to help her mother's family?"
"After my investigation, it is."
Su Qingyan's face gradually became gloomy, "Qianrong is the one I picked up with one hand, and I also watched her gradually become the master from a miscellaneous person, if she really does this kind of thing, I will never be merciful." ”
When the partnership was confirmed, she had already asked Qianrong to sign the contract, and once there was any violation, she had to pay a painful price.
"Concubine Su is willing to punish her heavily?"
"There are no rules, there is no circle, the Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, if I turn a blind eye because I miss the old feelings, then I might as well go home and farm, and do some business."
Sun Yecai clearly agreed with Su Qingyan's distinction between public and private, "Concubine Su thinks so, I'm relieved." ”
