Chapter 105: Sauce Garden

Jiayi took his friends to his sauce garden, or spice factory, and happened to meet Selena, who was checking her progress here.

Some time ago, Selena had been busy building roads, and Kaichi had been building blast furnaces, which were not far away, but they were not very common.

As soon as they met, Selena said: "Jiayi, you have too many requirements, and even the seasoning has to build a special factory to make it." Are all mages like that?"

"No, it's only Jiayi, at least the mage I have met is not better than Jiayi. March, who was on the side, hurriedly said, saying that this pot was Jiayi's own and had nothing to do with all the mages.

While checking the progress in the sauce garden, Jia Yi said, "Have you eaten less?"

Selena said: "I'm not as picky as you, I can make so many tricks with one seasoning, I feel that the palace is at your level, and there is a special sauce garden for you to use." ”

Soybean paste and noodle sauce are being produced in the sauce garden, and it is already the end of summer at this time, so if you can't make the first batch of sauce quickly, there will not be enough time, and the sauce needs to be dried at high temperature after fermentation, so you have to rush before the temperature drops. In my previous life, I could see many people's dried soy sauce every summer.

The soy sauce is mixed with flour and soybeans, steamed, and then left to mold, and it is covered with yellow and green mold, Jia Yi always didn't understand when he was an hour, why let it be moldy, and it is also this bright color, not like the mold of fermented bean curd is pure white, which will always make people think that it is bad. After the fermentation of the sauce is finished, it is put in the sun with a bamboo weave, and after a period of time, when Jiayi sees it again, it is in the sauce jar, it has become a viscous liquid, or continues to dry in the sun.

Now the sauce garden is still in its infancy, unlike Wickham City, which has been in operation for several years and is relatively complete. In addition to the processing of sauces and some spices, there will be the development of pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, and dried vegetables later. Jiayi's favorite is the dried vegetables and roasted meat, the soaked dried vegetables and meat are burned together, and the dried vegetables that are full of fat have a unique taste and fragrance, and they do not appear greasy, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.

In fact, for the development of these sauces, Jiayi only pointed out a general direction at most, and the specific operations were all taken care of by Eunice. When is the best time to dry the sauce, to what extent is it fermented, what ingredients to choose, whether the beans should be ground into powder, and the taste of the sauce produced by various recipes is also different.

Jiayi's credit, if he says he has it, he doesn't say he has it, anyway, his hard work is not his money, just waiting for it to be ready-made.

He reached out and dipped his middle finger in a little half-finished noodle sauce and tasted it, it was so salty. However, such a sauce garden only has input but no output, which is indeed a bit of a luxury.

Jia Yi turned back to Selena and said, "Why don't you open a restaurant, so that the seasonings in the sauce garden will not be used only by ourselves, not to mention what money we make, the cost can always be recovered." ”

As for making money, Jia Yi has no doubts at all, although the food in the imperial capital also has merits, but there are more shortcomings, and the places that can make Jia Yi feel praised are the top restaurants in the imperial capital. If Jiayi is arranged in a modern way, not to mention popular in the city, it will always be no problem to gain a foothold.

"The Chamber of Commerce is so busy, how can anyone open a restaurant, can this income be compared with the Chamber of Commerce? ”

To put it bluntly, I just can't look down on it. The Valoka Chamber of Commerce is now operating high-tech, and the income of the catering industry is not very high-value, although the profit margin of the catering industry may be higher than that of the Valoka Chamber of Commerce, but the scale is not a level at all.

Jia Yi glanced at Selena strangely: "Why do you want to do it yourself, just find someone to work with, give it all to the other party, we just need to collect the money, just like me." There is also a guarantee of our spice supply. ”

Selena tapped Jiayi's head with her finger: "You loser, you don't feel distressed if you don't spend any effort in this sauce garden." When I was in Wickham City, in order to find out the most suitable process and raw materials, the master of the sauce garden spent a lot of effort, just the sauce, every year to make a large number of them, unqualified ones are also a large number, little by little to try the best combination, you just like this simple to send out to others. ”

Although they don't look at the income of opening a restaurant, they still look at the recipe of the sauce, and the sauce garden masters who lined up in Wickham City at that time are all Eunice's people, and the ownership completely belongs to the Eunice family, and the sauce recipe made is also firmly in her hands, of course, Jiayi also has it. This time, the emperor built a new sauce garden, and Eunice intended to let the best master return to the imperial capital to preside.

Magge and the others watched as Kaichi was taught a lesson by Selena, took two steps back and hid to the side, watching Kaichi's jokes.

Jia Yi said helplessly: "Who said that you have to hand over the sauce garden to others." ”

Although the sauce in the sauce garden is not a top secret, it also took a lot of effort to get it, although it is not my own effort, even now, it can be used as an heirloom recipe. In this era, this can already be inherited as a family, and it is not possible to be rich and noble, and there is no problem in being small and rich. Of course, Jiayi won't talk about this, just give it to someone else.

"You can find someone to work with, the other party opens a restaurant, we provide sauces, and there are new cooking methods, frying, frying, vinegar and braised sauces, and with our sauces, business must be good." When the restaurant business is booming, our sauces will become famous, but it is good to sell sauces, and the recipe must be firmly in our own hands. ”

"But who wants to cooperate, so that the sauce is completely in our hands, aren't they subject to others, why cooperate with us. Selena said.

Jia Yi said indifferently: "This, you go find it yourself, I am not familiar with the imperial capital." Besides, can you not cooperate with the Grand Hotel in the Imperial Capital, find the kind of business that is not good, or fund a reliable person to open a new restaurant, is it okay? ”

"You're really, move your mouth yourself, and I'll break your legs. Selena complained, but there was something moving in her heart.

She thought that while Jiayi was willing, she squeezed some more things out of his hands, not to make money, but to feel that it was a little buried in Jiayi's hands. And the sauce garden is simply for Jiayi to use alone, which is indeed a bit of a waste. Even if the craftsmanship of the restaurant is not as good as Jiayi, half the level is enough, and with the special flavor given by the seasoning, the business must not be bad.

They hadn't thought of letting people come to learn cooking with Jiayi before, mainly because Master Jiayi's identity was here, and it seemed a little offensive to bring it up. They didn't expect that Jia Yi was actually quite willing to promote the food culture on the earth, not just Chinese food, as long as he knew it, it didn't matter. It's just that he doesn't know much about the cuisine of other countries, and even the cuisine of his own country is limited to home-cooked food plus the tip of the tongue in China.

Marchi, who was on the side, looked at Jiayi and decided on an industry so easily, and the initial plan of this sauce garden in his words was Jiayi, and said with envy: "Jiayi, you are also too powerful, not only is your magic level good, you have published so many papers, you even have a hand in cooking, and you have specially configured sauces for cooking, and now, in a few words, you have almost decided to open a restaurant." Really, I don't know anything but magic, and I can't even match you. ”

"It's just an interest, and it doesn't take much effort to change my brain. Jia Yi said lightly.

"You really didn't spend any energy, you just moved your mouth and let others spend their energy. Selena snorted, "March, you don't have to compare with him, you are also a mage now, and you are already a cut above the boss compared to the others." Moreover, if you propose any business, there will be many people who are willing to work with you, even if it doesn't make money. ”

Jia Yi said with a smile on the side: "Is this a consolation for you? What is the purpose of not making money in business, is it just to make a sound? In the end, it is not that you have to pay the price, but it is not money. ”

The two girls glanced at Jiayi together, "hummed" and walked in front together, ignoring Jiayi. Kaichi shrugged his shoulders at the rest of the group, raised an eyebrow, and followed behind.
