After Zhang Chengwang ate a few pieces, he lost interest.
In the end, most of the lotus leaf chicken fell into Zhang Wanli's stomach, and part of it was eaten by Zhang Xinghua and Su Yuewei.
At the same time, Jixiang Restaurant's new signature dish, lotus leaf chicken, has been sought after by many people as soon as it was launched. Especially the method of cooking lotus leaves with chicken and glutinous rice has attracted many people's praise. This also made many people praise it.
The business of Jixiang Restaurant has improved a bit. Although it is still not as good as Fulai Restaurant, it is much better than before.
When Yuan Baoshu and Yuan Suifeng went to Fulai Restaurant to sell sugar, they heard someone discussing lotus leaf chicken. Now Su Yueling bought the carriage. She disliked the uneven road and felt uncomfortable riding in the carriage, so she announced that she would not go out until the road was repaired.
.
In addition, Yuan Suifeng had taught her very well during this period, so Su Yueling waved her hand and sent the carriage to Yuan Suifeng.
Yuan Suifeng got off the carriage, his brows furrowed, and he asked Yuan Baoshu, "Baoshu, did you hear them talking about lotus leaf chicken?"
Yuan Baoshu naturally heard it, and she said with some hesitation: "Maybe my sister-in-law is not the only one who came up with the idea of combining lotus leaves and chicken, and the method may be different." They can't be so shameless that they think they are the only one who can make lotus leaf chicken.
"That's right." Yuan Suifeng carried the sugar in the car on his shoulders, and Yuan Baoshu asked the waiter in the restaurant to help look after their horses. Now because she often goes to the city and interacts with different people, after a few months,
, there has been a radical change, and he is not as shy as before.
Boiling sugar is also manual work, so their family basically sells it once every three days, and the price starts at fifty pounds. With Yuan Suifeng, they can make more sugar. But Yuan Suifeng is not willing to take a share, he
He felt that he had a free meal at home, and his sister-in-law also gave him a carriage. He now had a horse and a sword, and he was already satisfied.
Fifty pounds of white sugar, to Yuan Suifeng, this weight is just drizzle.
The Yuan family has cooperated with Fulai Restaurant countless times, and they have become familiar with it. Every time, Sun Qian, the shopkeeper, personally entertains them.
After putting the sugar on the scale, Sun Qian quickly took out the gold he had prepared in advance. When he came back last time, Yuan Baoshu told Fulai Restaurant that he wanted to trade gold. Fifty kilograms, that is three hundred taels.
, which is 30 taels of gold.
After Sun Qian gave the money, he said in a joking tone: "Baoshu, we have always cooperated so well. I thought that if your family had a new recipe, you would come to me first."
"I can give it to Jixiang Restaurant."
Yuan Baoshu was a little confused, "What new recipe?"
Sun Qian also knew Yuan Baoshu's temperament and knew that she was not a liar. "It's the lotus leaf chicken that Jixiang Restaurant recently sold. Isn't that what your family sells?"
Yuan Suifeng said: "We, brother and sister, have never been to Jixiang Tower."
Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, "Didn't that girl Yueling sell it?"
Yuan Baoshu was a little annoyed, "Who slandered my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law never leaves the house and doesn't like to go out at all."
Sun Qian was also at a loss, and directly called the waiter over, "Tell me more about the lotus leaf chicken you heard about two days ago."
The waiter said: "One of the apprentices in the back kitchen of Jixianglou is a fellow countryman of mine. He said that the person who sold the lotus leaf chicken to their restaurant was named Su. He was married to Lushan Village. This recipe sold for ten taels of silver."
"I just thought that if she married into Lushan Village, her surname is Su, and she also knows how to eat fresh food, wouldn't she be the only daughter of our former shopkeeper?"
Yuan Baoshu said: "It can't be my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law won't go out on such a hot day."
"And it's only ten taels of silver. It's strange that my sister-in-law would value it."
As Su Ershan's only daughter, Su Yueling was no stranger to Fulai Restaurant. They had watched her grow up and had some understanding of her arrogant temperament. As soon as these words came out, everyone believed her.
Sun Qian couldn't help but twitch when he heard Yuan Baoshu's statement of "just ten taels" of silver. As the shopkeeper of Fulai Restaurant, he could get almost twenty taels a month. This was because he made a prompt decision and bought Dongpo Pork and other items.
practice, and negotiated a long-term cooperation with Baitang, so the boss was willing to give him so much.
"Then who sold it to Jixiang?"
Yuan Baoshu said: "Let's buy a portion of Jixianglou's lotus leaf chicken first and see how it is different from what we make at home."
Sun Qian said: "You don't have to go, I'll just send someone to buy one."
Because the lotus leaf chicken sells very well, it was already half an hour after I bought one.
Yuan Baoshu and Yuan Suifeng's expressions instantly turned ugly.
Yuan Baoshu said: "The ingredients are indeed the same as what I cook at home."
She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite and put it in her mouth. Her eyebrows quickly spread and she said, "This lotus leaf chicken is not half as delicious as mine."
“The chicken is not tender enough, the glutinous rice is not tasty enough, and the aroma is not as good as filling the house.”
Yuan Suifeng tasted it and agreed with Yuan Baoshu's statement.
"I guess someone saw our family eating this, so they secretly learned it themselves." It's just that they learned it secretly, but they actually sold it, which is simply disgusting.
A person appeared in Yuan Baoshu's mind, and her pupils opened slightly in shock, "Could it be the Zhang family's sister-in-law? She came to our house when our family was eating lotus leaf chicken, and we even gave some to her."
She explained to the shopkeeper, "Sister-in-law of the Zhang family is my sister-in-law's cousin."
Sun Qian showed an expression of realization, "It's their family. I still remember that before Yueling got married, her aunt wanted to occupy her house in the city. It's not unusual for their daughter to do such a thing."
Su Yuewei's "virtuous" reputation had not spread to the city, and because of Dafang's previous actions, Sun Qian had no good impression of their family.
He remembered something and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You just said that the lotus leaf chicken you make is more delicious? Can you sell me that recipe?"
Yuan Baoshu can handle this herself.
Sun Qian immediately bought it with five taels of gold and prepared all the materials Yuan Baoshu mentioned.
Yuan Baoshu immediately started doing it in front of them, and gave them some tips from time to time. Sun Qian nodded repeatedly, thinking that it could still be like this.
When the lotus leaf chicken comes out of the oven, as soon as the lotus leaves are opened, the aroma is as overbearing as Dongpo pork and spreads to the front, causing several customers to ask what new products the restaurant has.
When Sun Qian tasted the lotus leaf chicken, he immediately felt that these fifty taels were not an ordinary bargain. He had to throw away this item to compare.
He couldn't help but feel happy. This Jixiang Restaurant had a bad idea and insisted on buying pirated recipes. Now he would directly make wedding dresses for them.
He decided to let the kitchen practice hard today, and then launch the authentic lotus leaf chicken tomorrow to open everyone's eyes.
