Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Fiery White Jade Flesh

"Hey, have you heard, Fenghelou has launched a lot of fresh dishes in the past few days, what is the main dish called...... White jade meat! It is said that the dish looks like white jade, but it tastes like meat. Some people say that it is fairy meat! ”

"What you say is true, there is really white jade-like meat?"

"Well, I've heard that the dish was very popular with everyone as soon as it was launched. In just a few days, the name of Bai Yurou spread all over the capital. Now that the banquet in Fenghelou has been booked for next month, the nobles in Beijing are proud to be able to eat the white jade meat! ”

Not only that, but many talented people have tasted this white jade meat and have written a lot of poems for it. Eat white jade meat in the morning, and ...... in the white jade capital at night"

Some people shook their heads and recited the poems that had been circulated in the past few days, but at least one of the two sentences had the words "white jade meat" written on them.

Standing in the teahouse not far from Fenghelou and looking at the past, Fenghelou at this moment was almost surrounded by people.

Steward Liu, the shopkeeper, was also standing at the door, smiling and compensating the people who came to book the banquet.

"It's really not small, I don't give your master face, it's really that this banquet is scheduled for the New Year, our Fenghelou small business, there are really not so many places for you to sit! Otherwise, how many tables can you book with us, and I'll send them to you when the time comes? Make sure that this dish will be fresh and hot in your master's mouth! ”

When the steward of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he frowned, but he could only reply: "Okay, then you must send the banquet earlier, and you must ensure that the quality and taste of the dishes are exactly the same as those in the restaurant." ”

Steward Liu hurriedly said, "It must be!" How dare we deceive you? ”

Steward Liu has heard this a lot in the past few days, and he even said the words of assurance very smoothly.

Su Hengyu in the teahouse looked at Steward Liu and diligently sent another group of people away, and then joked to the woman in front of him: "Your Highness is really a capable person in his hands, you see how neatly Steward Liu is doing his work now." ”

In the half an hour she had been sitting here, she had already seen Steward Liu send away several groups of people, and all of them left with a satisfied face.

The woman wearing a red splendid peony skirt on the opposite side raised her lips and smiled: "Isn't this thanks to you, Miss Su, if you hadn't taken out this white jade meat, where would my Fenghelou have such a prosperous business?" ”

Su Hengyu raised the cup in his hand to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, don't laugh at me, we are working together for a win-win situation." ”

When the eldest princess Wei Zining heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Feng Helou can have today, in fact, she didn't expect it herself, at first she just thought that the tofu brought by Su Hengyu was good, and adding a new dish to Feng Helou could also bring a lot of benefits to herself.

Unexpectedly, not long after the two decided to cooperate, Su Hengyu suddenly took the initiative to find her and proposed an excellent idea - to invite several famous poets in Beijing to come to Fenghe Building to taste white jade meat.

Sure enough, under the impact of such a new type of dish, several talented people really became poetic and praised the white jade meat fiercely.

The eldest princess took the opportunity to arrange for many people to promote these poems, and secretly praised the white jade meat as a symbol of status.

Noticing that most of the people who came back to eat in her restaurant were the female dependents of officials, Su Hengyu also proposed to recommend the white jade meat to the elders of the female dependents.

There will be more or less elders in their families who have bad teeth, and they can't touch the food next to them in the past, but this white jade meat can be tasted.

Sure enough, these methods came out together, and the white jade meat instantly became a dish sought after by everyone in Beijing.

In addition, the dishes given by Su Hengyu are so rich, no matter men, women and children, there is always one that suits their taste, which adds a handful of firewood to the popularity of white jade meat.

"It's just Your Highness, the current prosperity looks lively, but it is very empty. Does His Royal Highness want Fenghelou to step on the other two restaurants for a long time, or is he willing to be prosperous for a while? Su Hengyu's voice interrupted the heat in Wei Zining's heart.

She looked up and met Su Hengyu's clear eyes: "What do you mean, could it be that there will be a crisis behind Fenghe Tower?" ”

"It's nature." Su Hengyu nodded, "Fenghelou is not the only big restaurant in the capital, and other nobles have more or less run restaurants. Among them, the Jingchun Building of the three princes has been pressed on the top of Fenghe Building before. Now that he sees that Fenghelou's business is so prosperous, will he give up like this? ”

Su Hengyu had been in contact with Jingchun Building and Taikang Building before, and Wei Zining also knew about it, so she knew very well that her third emperor brother must know who the real seller of tofu was.

Although he himself refused to cooperate with Su Hengyu first, according to her understanding of the third prince, this person will definitely regret it when he sees the situation of Fenghelou, and then go back to coerce and lure Su Hengyu to cooperate with him.

Once Su Hengyu doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against himself.

Although the eldest princess doesn't take her third brother to heart, after all, she is a brainless fool. But his biological mother, Zhao Guifei, is a smart person and is notoriously doting on her children.

If the other party does something to make her son angry, even if she won't let Wei Zining do anything, she won't make her happy.

Thinking of this, Wei Zining's previous ease was swept away, compared to the short-term prosperity, she naturally wanted Fenghelou to get better and better.

"If you have any ideas, just tell me." Wei Zining said directly.

Su Hengyu put down the teacup: "If Your Highness is willing to listen to me, then I am afraid that you will need to give up some of the interests of the white jade meat for the time being." ”

"Please Your Highness hand over the recipe of the white jade meat to Your Majesty after today, and give 30% of the profits of the white jade meat to the imperial court!"

Wei Zining pursed his lips: "Are you going to use white jade meat to please my father?" ”

"Nope! I want to use this method to exchange for a better future for your Highness and me. When Su Hengyu said this, his eyes were full of determination.

What the two talked about later, Ziyun and the others who were guarding outside the box were naturally unclear.

When Su Hengyu and the eldest princess walked out of the box, their expressions had recovered their previous indifference, they said goodbye to each other, and then left the teahouse one after another.

Su Hengyu got into the carriage and took Ziyun and began to rush to Zhuangzi. It took them long enough to enter the city today, and if they didn't speed up, I am afraid that by the time they returned to Zhuangzi, it would already be dark.

It's just that Su Hengyu didn't expect his luck to be so bad, and he encountered a heavy rain on the way back.

At this time, the carriage had already left the capital, and it was still half an hour away from Zhuangzi.

The rain outside was too heavy, and the winter rain was already cold, Su Hengyu didn't want the entourage to rush back in the rain, so he instructed the coachman to find a nearby place to stay.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad for that, and soon, several people temporarily settled in a ruined temple.
