Chapter 227 It’s not as delicious as my sister-in-law’s cooking
Shen Yuyu had cured wild boar meat at home, but he was not interested in buying it. He took a look at it and left.
Spicy cabbage Shen Xingwang had been brought over early in the morning. At this moment, the ox cart was parked on the side of the road, and Shen Xingwang was waiting for her.
Aunt Zhou was busy in the house, so she popped her head out to say hello and explain a few words, and then went back to her business.
Shen Yuyu and Ji Feng climbed into the bullock cart, and the three of them headed to the county together.
After entering the county town, I saw Zhao Ke leaning at the entrance of Zuixian Tower from a distance, looking at them eagerly, and hurriedly greeted them when they came over.
"It's finally here." Zhao Ke looked at the ox cart with a smile, "It's time to change to a carriage, the ox cart is too slow."
"No money." Shen Yuyu shrugged, jumped off the bullock cart, and hugged Ji Feng down.
Zhao Ke smiled generously: "If the spicy cabbage sells well, I will give you one as a gift."
"Young Master Zhao, can you keep what you say?" Shen Yuhuan answered with a smile. A carriage is not a small amount of money, and she cannot let go of this opportunity to make money.
"It definitely counts." Zhao Ke asked a few waiters to carry the spicy cabbage into the store, while looking at Shen Yuyu with a smile, "Not to mention more, as long as this jar of spicy cabbage can be sold within one day, I will immediately I'll give you a carriage."
Shen Yuyu quickly calculated that for a restaurant as big as Zuixianlou, there would be fifty tables for two guests.
Fifty tables at noon, fifty tables at night, and a vat of spicy cabbage are not difficult to sell.
But the difficulty right now is that there is no business. Let alone fifty tables and one hundred tables, there are not even a single customer.
If you want to make money from Mr. Zhao's carriage, you have to find a way to make the restaurant business better.
Revitalize his restaurant for a carriage? Is this a good deal?
Thinking of this, Shen Yuyu rolled his eyes: "Mr. Zhao, it is basically impossible for your restaurant to sell a jar of spicy cabbage a day, unless
"Unless what?" Zhao Kezheng was worried about the business of the restaurant. After hearing Shen Yuyu's words, his eyes glowed with hope.
"Unless you partner with me." Shen Yuyu smiled slyly, "Maybe I have a way to make the business better.'
"Oh?" Zhao Ke approached with great interest, "As long as the restaurant business can be improved, it is not impossible to form a joint venture. Miss Shen, tell me, how can we turn the tide when the restaurant business is so weak?"
"If Mr. Zhao is interested, let's chat slowly later." After saying that, he said to Shen Xingwang, "Brother Xingwang, didn't you say you have something to buy? You go and buy it first, and then come here to find us after you finish it."
"Okay." Shen Xingwang responded and drove the bullock cart away.
"Miss Shen, please come inside." Zhao Ke enthusiastically invited Shen Yuyu and Ji Feng into the restaurant, told them to sit down, and told the waiter to make the best tea and bring the most delicious snacks.
While eating snacks, Ji Feng stared at Zhao Ke defensively, thinking that Zhao Ke was a love rival who wanted to steal his sister-in-law.
Zhao Ke was confused when he saw that this little guy was full of hostility towards him.
"How's it going? Miss Shen, do you have any good ideas that can save my restaurant?" Zhao Ke cast his eyes on Shen Yuyu and stared at her expectantly.
"I definitely have an idea, but I have to sign a shareholding contract with Mr. Zhao first. If Mr. Zhao believes in me, just sign it. If you don't believe me, that's it." Her ideas came from the modern era of the 21st century and are not of ordinary value.
She also chose to cooperate with Zhao Ke because of his frankness.
"Okay, I believe you and sign the shareholding contract immediately."
Zhao Ke didn't hesitate at all. Someone who could make such unique and delicious food as spicy cabbage must be no ordinary person. Besides, he was also optimistic about Miss Shen's character and there would be no problem in working with her.
The two hit it off immediately and quickly drew up a contract and signed it.
After doing this, the two naturally became friends, and after a formal introduction, they started talking about business matters.
"First put up a billboard and go out, and when you enter the restaurant, you will get a plate of spicy cabbage for free." Shen Yuyu said.
"Yeah." Zhao Ke nodded, "I originally thought so too, but can this alone make the restaurant business better?"
Zhao Ke was unsure. Although the chef's skills were not bad, they were nothing special compared to other restaurants and had little competitive advantage.
"Of course this is not enough." Shen Yue smiled and said firmly, "I will develop a few special dishes, but before that I have to try the chef's skills."
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Du to cook some of his specialty dishes for you to try." Zhao Ke continued the explanation.
The cooking took a while, so the two of them were drinking tea in the restaurant lobby while waiting.
Not long after, the chef's dishes were served. Shen Yuyu took a look and said, "Oh, this imaginary country is too unrefined for food, isn't it? The dishes made by such a big restaurant are so ordinary? It's so surprising." .
The first dish looked like Dongpo pork, but the color was not good and the pieces were not in pieces. I used chopsticks to separate the skin and meat, and tasted it. It was fat and greasy. It was a failure.
The second dish is pheasant and mushrooms. The pheasant is an authentic pheasant and the mushrooms are also wild. However, the soup is not clear enough. The chicken pieces are not boiled and the blood is not washed. The soup is full of foam. Taste A mouth full of fishy taste, failure!
I tried five dishes in a row, and every dish had flaws. Although the ingredients were many times better than modern ones, the cooking methods were too rough!
However, it is understandable that the Dasheng Kingdom has just experienced a war, so who would bother to think about eating? But now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, if you can think about eating well, you will definitely make a lot of money.
"How is it?" Zhao Ke looked at Shen Yuyu expectantly.
"Ah Feng, try it." Shen Yuyu handed a pair of chopsticks to Ji Feng, who hummed and started to taste.
He took a few random bites, shook his head and said, "It's not bad, but it's not as delicious as my sister-in-law's."
"Little guy, don't talk nonsense. Your sister-in-law is not a cook, how can she cook something more delicious than this?" Chef Lao Du lost his dignity after hearing this comment.
Zhao Ke was also dubious: "Although your spicy cabbage, Xiaoyou, tastes great, cooking in the kitchen is not that simple. The skills of the knife, heat, salt and seasoning, every process is not simple."
Shen Yuyu stood up with a smile and looked at the cook Lao Du: "Master Du, can you borrow the kitchen?"
Seeing Shen Yuyu being so polite, Lao Du said sheepishly: "Miss Xiaoyou is the boss of our Zuixian Building, so of course she can use the kitchen as she pleases."
"Okay." Shen Yuyu responded and walked to the kitchen.
Others followed curiously. Ji Feng said that Shen Yuyu's cooking was more delicious than the chef's, and everyone wanted to see what happened.
Shen Yuyu rolled up her sleeves and started cooking. What she made was the simplest mapo tofu.
Cut the garlic into finely chopped green onions, chop the beef into meat and set aside, bring the water to a boil, add the tofu cubes and cook for two to three minutes.
Shen Yugu was methodical, adding oil, stir-frying, and seasoning every step of the way. The dish was soon out of the pan, sprinkled with chopped green onion and topped with sesame oil, and the aroma was fragrant.
