It was either too thick or too thin, either too hard or too soft, or too much or too little fennel was added. After repeated trials more than a dozen times, Zhao Linger was finally satisfied.
Zhang Da has been doing so much in the past two days that he feels sick when he sees the oil pan.
It was also the first time for Mrs. Su to see Zhao Ling'er's attitude towards doing business. She was so attentive and strict. No wonder she was able to succeed in business, and she also admired her a little.
Su Yining finally returned from the capital.
It took a total of four days to bring it back, but Zhao Ling'er felt as if he had been gone for ten and a half months.
Su Yining gained a lot from this trip.
Not only did he bring back the hydrangeas that Zhao Ling'er wanted, but he also brought back potatoes, parsley, sausages, taro, dried kelp, dried beans, and two large bags of red peppers.
Looking at the goods piled up in a room, Zhao Ling'er was very happy. With these treasures, she was not afraid that the customers would not come.
After several days of preparation, most of the menu at Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant has been updated. Spinach, cabbage, radish and other vegetables that were not sold well before have been combined into a vegetable platter, and various fungi have also been combined into a
The mushroom platter also includes various dry goods brought back by Su Yining.
Although there are many people who are greedy for cheap, there are also customers who don't care about money but only care about taste.
With the update of the menu, Bahai Hotpot Restaurant has a variety of dishes and its reputation for good service quality has spread in Yunzhou.
Although the price per customer at Bahai Hotpot Restaurant is more expensive than that at Baxian, more famous people choose to eat at Bahai Hotpot Restaurant.
Since the Baxian Hot Pot Restaurant offered a 30% discount, due to the reduction in profits, the portions of the dishes have become smaller and smaller, and the quality of the dishes has also declined. Customers are reluctant to go back after eating a few times.
Seeing that the customers of Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant had to queue up to get their food again, shopkeeper Wang knew in his heart that they had won this battle!
Mrs. Su is also very concerned about the business of the store. Since the last time she sent fried food to Zhao Ling'er, she has realized that doing business is not that easy. The store that Zhao Ling'er finally opened cannot just disappear, so during this period she also
At the end of the day, I have to go to the hot pot restaurant to inspect the situation.
Seeing more and more customers in the store, she felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in her heart. Of course, she also cared more and more about Zhao Ling'er like a family member.
In the blink of an eye, March has arrived.
The pain on Zhao Ling'er's back disappeared a lot, but she still couldn't use force on her calf.
Su Yi Ning prepared a wheelchair for her, and when the weather was nice, she let Ah Zhen push it out to bask in the sun.
Mr. Su has nothing to do at home during this time. There are many flowers planted in the yard, including poppies, purple flowers, pansies, azaleas, peonies, clivias, plus peach blossoms and pear blossoms that are already in the garden.
Cherry blossoms, rapeseed flowers, etc., the yard is full of red flowers and green willows, creating a prosperous atmosphere.
"Oh, these flowers are so beautiful! The garden smells so fragrant." Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but breath in the fresh air.
"Yes, there are so many flowers in our garden, and the garden is so big. Not only is it number one in Yunzhou, it is at least among the top three! Other wealthy families have been planting gardens these days, but it's a pity that the old lady doesn't allow it.
, otherwise outsiders can also see the flowers here!" Ah Zhen said regretfully.
"Gardening?" Zhao Ling'er repeated and asked, "What does gardening mean?"
Ah Zhen said: "Every year on March 3rd, wealthy families in the city will open their gardens for outsiders to enjoy. For example, Wang Baosheng Garden and Hu Xianyi Garden are famous private gardens in Yunzhou City, and they will be open at this time every year.
How many days are there!”
"Oh!" Zhao Ling'er nodded and asked, "Is the open garden free?"
Ah Zhen nodded and said: "Of course! Those who can build a garden are wealthy families, so they probably don't care about the money."
Ha ha.
Zhao Ling'er suddenly thought of a good idea, but her father and mother must agree to it.
Zhao Ling'er said: "Hurry up and push me to see Madam."
Mrs. Su is watering the flowers with Master Su. Although Master Su now has less salary, he has a lot more time to accompany Mrs. Su, so the two of them are even more affectionate.
"Father, mother."
When Mrs. Su saw Zhao Ling'er, she stood up and said with a smile: "How is it? Look at the flowers in our garden blooming pretty well, right?"
Zhao Ling'er smiled and said: "Yes, I saw a lot of flowers along the way! They are colorful and smell delicious."
Mrs. Su bent down and sprinkled water again, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.
Zhao Ling'er took the opportunity to say: "Dad, Mom, don't we have gardening activities on March 3rd? Do you want to open our garden for outsiders to see?"
Mrs. Su's expression changed and she said: "What are you letting outsiders see? The flowers I managed to grow with so much effort will be crushed if I let them step on them."
Zhao Ling'er said: "Oh, we can take care of these flowers in advance and clear a path. Besides, our flowers are blooming so well. If we don't let more people see it, how can we show off your and dad's craftsmanship?"
Let them also comment on the garden. Look at our Yunzhou family, whose garden is better cared for? It must be ours!"
"That's for sure!" Mrs. Su said proudly.
"Then... let's open the garden tomorrow?" Zhao Ling'er took the opportunity to ask tentatively.
Mrs. Su thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, no, they have trampled all my beautiful flowers. I don't agree."
Zhao Ling'er said: "Mom, I opened the garden not for anything else, but for your own good!"
"Why is it for my own good?" Mrs. Su asked puzzledly.
Zhao Ling'er said: "Didn't you invest 5,000 taels of silver in a hot pot restaurant some time ago? You see, you haven't paid it back, and I can't bear it. But the store can't get out so much silver now, so I don't want to take advantage of it."
I’ll open a garden and earn some money so I can pay you back!”
"Nonsense! Opening a garden is free, how can you make money?" Mrs. Su didn't believe what Zhao Ling'er said.
Zhao Ling'er smiled slyly and said: "Don't worry about this, you can leave the money-making business to me. I guarantee that you can earn back the 5,000 taels after opening it for one month. As long as you agree to open our garden."
Mrs. Su hesitated, 5,000 taels was not a small amount, and the master was not going to the Yamen anymore. He could earn as much as he could and keep it for his children and grandchildren to enjoy in the future, so she said: "Okay, if it's open, it's open, but it's not allowed."
You trampled on my flowers! Also, you are not allowed to go into our backyard or disturb our lives!"
Zhao Ling'er smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
With Mrs. Su's confirmation, Zhao Ling'er hurriedly ordered Ah Zhen to find Zhou You.
Zhao Ling'er told Su Yining and Zhou about her plan. They both felt that this was very fresh and would definitely attract tourists, so they split up.
Early the next morning, Sufu Garden was opened to the public.
