Chapter 18 Gifts from General Weiyuan's Mansion
Hearing this, Su Hengyu was not angry, she looked at Song Zhien curiously, expecting the other party to give her a suitable reason.
Song Zhien has also been observing Su Hengyu's attitude, it is one thing for him to be shrewd with the director, but it is another thing whether he can get along well with the master's family.
Thinking about the fact that he was sent by the Marquis of Zhongyong to Zhuangzi and not be reused, you can know that Song Zhien is not liked by his previous master.
So he wanted to try to see what kind of character this new master was, if the other party was also so unpersuadable, he would shut up and obediently obey orders in the future.
Fortunately, Su Hengyu's performance made Song Zhien greatly relieved, and he immediately explained: "The master doesn't know that the most popular restaurants in Beijing at the moment have the handiwork of the prince or the powerful of the dynasty behind them. Our food is good, but it's too good, other families don't have it, my family has it, once this shop opens, it will inevitably rob the guests of those restaurants. β
"In this way, before our business has started, we have offended people who should not be offended, and we will definitely not live in peace in the future shop."
What good things haven't the nobles in Beijing eaten? What they are pursuing now is not simply a desire for food, but a "strangeness" that can match their identity.
With this dish of tofu, who wouldn't want to come to Su Hengyu's shop to sit?
Song Zhien could even imagine how many people would go crazy after the tofu was pushed out.
But in order to make money to offend the prince and noble, this is really not a cost-effective deal, not to mention that Su Hengyu's identity is so embarrassing now. She has moved out of the Hou Mansion, if she causes trouble again, will the Hou Mansion be willing to help her?
Song Zhien mentioned it a little, and Su Hengyu immediately figured out the trick.
Yes, how could she have forgotten that the current era is not a world where everyone is equal in another time and space.
If she touches the princes' cake here, she doesn't need to do anything in the Hou Mansion, and her life will be over.
"Steward Song is right, it's me who owes it to consideration." Su Hengyu rubbed his head, "Then according to you, how to do this business?" β
Song Zhien said: "It's better to sell this tofu recipe and these recipes to those restaurants, whether it is to sell it at a fixed price, or to share it with others, we won't do it ourselves." β
Song Zhien thought very well, when their young lady left the Hou Mansion, they were followed by a purple cloud, and even the current team of people came to Zhuangshang to slowly get together.
These people have never been involved in restaurant management before, and they don't know any great chefs.
Instead of bothering to open your own shop, it is better to sell the recipe and cooperate with others.
Su Hengyu nodded silently listening to his words, his previous thoughts were still a little naΓ―ve. In this era, if there is no backer behind it, I am afraid it will not be easy to do anything.
Earlier, she heard Ziyun muttering that she wanted to watch the snow scene in the house, and she originally wanted to make glass and add a glass workshop for herself.
But now that I think about it, if this thing is really made, I'm afraid it will become a hot potato in her hands.
She has no opinion on selling the recipe, but Su Hengyu feels that this recipe can be exchanged for more than gold and silver.
After briefly sorting out the forces in Beijing, she quickly said to Song Zhien: "Steward Song, you first arrange for someone to contact the bosses of Jingchun Building, Fenghe Building and Taikang Building, and be sure to inform them that this tofu was made by me." Then, if there are restaurants willing to cooperate with us, then we will sell them the recipe for tofu. β
The people behind these three restaurants are the Three Princes, the Eldest Princess and the Duchess of Chengguo.
The third prince is the son of Zhao Guifei, who is in the limelight in the harem, and is very loved by the emperor. The eldest princess is the daughter of the queen, and she is the only daughter who has grown up healthily among so many children of the emperor, and she has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart.
Chengguo Mansion is the queen mother's maiden home, and Chengguo Gong himself is deeply trusted by the emperor.
All three of them are good short-term partners, and they are all rich masters. A tofu recipe, thinking that they can not only eat it, but also protect it.
It's also good if you can have a good relationship with the other person.
However, according to Su Hengyu's thoughts, she actually wants to cooperate with the eldest princess more.
"Then I will do as my master instructs." Song Zhien got up and saluted Su Hengyu, and then wanted to leave to do something for her.
Su Hengyu didn't want to keep him, so he asked Ziyun to pack all the food on the table for Song Zhien, and called a little maid to help send it to Song Zhien's house.
Before leaving, Su Hengyu also specially advised: "Ru Jun has learned the method of tofu, if your mother is interested in this food, you can go to the small kitchen in Zhuangzi to pick up vegetables every day, which can be regarded as the benefit of our Zhuangzi to the stewards." β
Su Hengyu's seemingly inadvertent words made Song Zhien stunned for a moment.
He not only has a wife and two sons, but also an elderly mother. Mrs. Song is old, her teeth are about to fall out, and she can't eat anything at all.
In fact, when Song Zhien tasted tofu today, he already thought of his mother.
He originally planned to wait until the things that the master did later, and then take the opportunity to ask for a favor to go to the small kitchen to buy vegetables, but he didn't expect Su Hengyu to think about these things a long time ago.
Song Zhien, who came back to his senses, saluted Su Hengyu again, only this time his spine bent deeply.
Act in a disciplined way but not blindly arrogant, have an idea in your heart but will listen to people's advice, and know how to use people and the way of your subordinates...... Song Zhien understood that perhaps there were many people in this world who were smarter than Su Hengyu, but at this moment, he felt that the girl in front of him was already worthy of his loyalty.
β¦β¦
Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, in the courtyard of Litang.
Su Baozhu hugged Wang's arm and shook it gently, her pretty face was full of innocence and beauty: "Ah Niang didn't see it, after Brother Zhou made that poem on the spot, the faces of the men who looked down on him before turned red with anger. They all hid their faces and fled, not daring to be arrogant in front of Brother Zhou! β
Wang was amused by her, and joked while touching her daughter's cheek: "Mother knows, mother knows." I don't know how many times you've said this since you came back from the Fengyang County Lord's plum banquet, and my mother's ears will be able to hear the cocoon. β
"Then I'm not, I want to talk to A-Niang about what I saw outside." Su Baozhu lowered her head and blushed, looking shy as someone found her thinking carefully.
The mother and daughter were talking happily, but Mama Chen suddenly walked in from outside: "Madam, someone from General Weiyuan's Mansion came outside to send a prayer post, saying that there was a thank you gift. β
"Thank you?" Wang Shi said strangely, "We have no contact with General Weiyuan's Mansion Su Ri, why did they suddenly send a thank you gift?" β
Su Baozhu raised his head and said, "Maybe Daddy or his brothers did something outside to help General Weiyuan's mansion, and they specially sent a thank you gift?" β
Although the Wang family knows very well that their husbands and sons really don't have the ability to help the people of General Weiyuan's Mansion now, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is only this possibility.
She immediately raised a smile and said to Mama Chen, "Who is from General Weiyuan's mansion, can you invite someone in?" β
"This, please, but the steward didn't come in, only said......" Mama Chen glanced up at Su Baozhu, "I only said that I would wait until their wife was well, and then I would personally come to the door to thank the eldest lady......"
