The lights inside Baiweixuan are brightly lit. The two chefs who have received the "recipe and method" taught by Lin Zhao are working hard with large spoons. Two pots of fragrant crayfish are about to be cooked. And just aside, the boss Jia Zhong, the boss's wife Qing'er's wife,
and Lin Zhao, whom they called the "three shopkeepers", got together to count the day's income.
Finally, Jia Zhong waved his pen and couldn't hide his joy, saying: "Excluding costs and expenses, today's net income is 5,348 copper coins. According to the original 20% of the profit, Lin Zhao, your income today is a full 1,000 copper coins."
Copper plate!”
Lin Zhao smiled slightly and said: "That's right, that's right. In this case... Xiao Jiu'er's tuition will be covered."
Qing'er's sister-in-law counted the coins and said with a smile: "Lin Zhao, it was my sister-in-law who looked down on others. I really didn't expect that you have such a skill. No one in the whole town or even the entire Great Shang Dynasty dared to eat it."
The crayfish was finally made into a famous dish by you, and our shop’s business has boomed because of this dish~~”
On the side, Jia Chong was beaming with joy: "If we continue to develop this profit, we can take over the small building next to the grocery store in half a month at most. Let's expand the store and make it bigger and stronger."
Lin Zhao thought for a while and said, "Actually, just one dish may not be enough to support a decent restaurant."
Jia Zhong was stunned: "Why, do you have other clever ideas?"
"Um."
Lin Zhao nodded and said: "In the next few days, I will try to make a few more dishes. If you try them and think they taste good, we will add more menus. If there are three or five decent dishes that are well received, we will
The business of the store is difficult even if we don’t make a lot of money.”
"Okay, okay!"
Jia Zhong nodded repeatedly: "As for the dishes, it's all up to you. You have a lot of clever ideas!"
"The rules are still the same, I take 20% of the profit."
"OK!"
…
The next day, Lin Zhao took Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er, who was on holiday, to go fishing together. In the morning, he caught a large grass carp weighing at least two kilograms, so he immediately packed up and headed to Baiweixuan to pick up Jia Chong, Qing'er's wife and the two of them.
The famous chefs called over, and then in front of everyone, they cut garlic, coriander, sauerkraut and other seasonings, cut fish fillets, thickened the flour, then cooked the base ingredients, poured the fish fillets, and finally sautéed Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers, and sprinkled them on the fish.
On top of the slices, another famous dish handed down from generation to generation was cooked.
"Try it, please?" Lin Zhao said with a smile.
Everyone took out the chopsticks from the chopstick cage one by one. After Jia Zhong took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up. The fish was sour and spicy, and the fish was delicious. He couldn't help nodding and praising: "Wonderful!"
"You can have wine."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Try it again with a mouthful of aged wine and a mouthful of fish fillet."
"Um!"
Jia Zhong immediately took a sip of Xinghuacun. In fact, the alcohol content of this ancient wine was not high. Lin Zhao tried it. The alcohol content of Xinghuacun was about 20 degrees. This kind of wine is served with fish fillets and
As for sauerkraut, it is definitely a perfect match. As a result, after Jia Zhong took a sip of wine and then took a bite of fish and sauerkraut, his eyes narrowed: "Miao Miao Miao..."
After the two chefs tasted the dish, they were both shocked. They thought that the spicy crayfish was already a delicacy, but they did not expect that this dish would be even more delicious. No one would have thought that a mere grass carp would turn out like this.
of deliciousness.
"Lin Zhao!"
Qing'er's Wife smiled: "What's the name of this dish?"
“Sauerkraut fish!”
Lin Zhao patted his chest and said: "Famous dishes passed down from generation to generation, the best in the world!"
Jia Zhongwei was shocked: "You boy...how do you know this dish? I have traveled around the world for decades and I have learned all the secrets in the cooking world, but I have never heard that there is such a thing as pickled fish in the world."
A supreme delicacy.”
Lin Zhao scratched his head: "Actually, I don't know what happened, but this dish suddenly popped into my head. It seems that I was a cook in my previous life and made this dish every day, so all the recipes and methods are the same.
It’s very clear. In short, this dish can be included in the first menu of our Baiweixuan, right?”
"Well, okay!"
Jia Zhong nodded: "The most famous dish is definitely the number one!"
"necessary."
Lin Zhao thought for a while and said: "There are still a few more dishes. Let's wait and add them to the menu one by one."
"good!"
Jia Zhong squinted his eyes. Now he, Lin Zhao, was no longer looking at the beggar. In his eyes, this boy was simply a culinary strategist and the God of Wealth!
…
In the afternoon, Lin Zhao took Xiao Shitou to Baiyu River to fish for snails, and made a stir-fried snail with leeks that was delicious in color, flavor, and taste. Then he used the ingredients in the store to make Mapo Tofu and Large Plate Chicken respectively. At this point,
The signature dishes in the shop have become much richer. In the evening, the self-proclaimed gourmet Han Laojianxian came again. After eating a large plate of chicken and pickled fish, he was full of praises and even performed the unique skill of flying a sword with one hand on the spot.
, which attracted constant cheers from the sergeants and monks present.
For a time, Baiweixuan, a restaurant that ranked last in the town, was as popular as ever.
That night.
Lin Zhao found Jia Zhong and gave him a list of ingredients and preparation methods. He looked very solemn and said: "The recipes for several dishes are here, especially the ingredients. You must prepare them yourself, otherwise others will learn them as soon as they are learned."
Okay, but there is another problem that we must pay attention to."
Jia Zhong looked serious, like a humble apprentice in front of the master, and said: "Say!"
"The cook's problem."
Lin Zhaodao: "Our two chefs have basically learned everything now except ingredients. Can you guarantee that the people from Hua Qianshu and Ming Yuxuan restaurants on Qian Street will not come to poach people? Restaurants and restaurants,
After all, the advantages of the food and wine must be there, do you know how to retain these two chefs?"
"Putting grass for incense and marrying them like a golden orchid?"
"Nonsense..."
Lin Zhao had a black line on his head and taught earnestly: "First of all, you give them a salary increase. It will be raised tomorrow, directly increasing the salary five times. Of course, this is only the first step. As a boss, you should know better how to control people's hearts and give them
They can increase their wages, but the premise is that they sign an employment agreement with you. Within five years, they must not change jobs. Otherwise, they will compensate you ten times the wages you paid. I have observed that neither of us cooks are very wealthy.
For promising people, five times their salary will definitely make them give up, and they will definitely sign a contract with you smoothly. If they really want to be poached, they will have to pay fifty times their salary. Do you think they are willing to change jobs?"
"Wonderful!"
Jia Zhong clapped his hands: "Boy, you are still well-established!"
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "It's funny, I'll praise you later. Now the second problem has arisen. We have retained two cooks, but how can you ensure that although Hua Qianshu and other front street restaurants can't recruit people, they can still recruit people?"
Why spend a lot of money to bribe two chefs to teach them how to make our signature dishes?"
Jia Zhong trembled: "Yes, this is another problem."
"So."
Lin Zhao raised a finger: "The second agreement method has appeared. After you sign a five-year employment agreement with them, you will increase their salary from five times to six times. As a price for the salary increase,
They are asked to sign a confidentiality agreement, requiring them to never disclose the methods and recipes, otherwise they will be compensated more money."
"Excellent! Excellent!"
Jia Zhong looked at Lin Zhao and said, "You kid...how do you know so many secrets?"
Lin Zhao smiled: "I figured it out by myself. After all, I get 20% of the profits of this store now. I can't help it. If you can't make money, Brother Jia, I can't make it either."
Money?”
"That's right..."
"correct."
Lin Zhao showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Brother Jia, I have one more unkind favor."
"Say, Brother Lin Xian!"
"I mean, if I am away from the town for something, you have to take care of Xiao Jiu'er and Xiao Shitou. If the two of them don't cook, I will ask them to come directly to our Baiweixuan. You ask the cook
Just cook two side dishes to keep them full."
"What's the problem?"
Jia Zhong patted his chest: "Our Baiweixuan welcomes and delivers at least one or two hundred people every day. Do we still need two pairs of chopsticks from these two little guys? I said Brother Lin, you are really different. They are all from your own family, so you are so polite.
What are you doing? I watched Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er grow up, they are all neighbors, so what can I do if I take care of them?"
"Okay, Brother Jia is a man of justice! His justice is so great!"
"It should be so, it should be so..."
…
late at night.
After Lin Zhao and Xiao Shitou finished practicing boxing together, Xiao Jiu'er had already fallen asleep under the quilt. At this time, there was a burst of rapid horse hooves outside without interruption. It seemed that a cavalry was entering the town one after another.
"What's going on, brother Lin Zhao?"
Xiao Shitou glared and asked.
"have no idea."
Lin Zhao looked out the window and frowned: "There might be another war, who knows?"
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Lin Zhao stood up and went to open the door. Under the moonlight, the armor of a Tianchi Army soldier was shrouded in a cold light. He glanced at Lin Zhao and said, "Are you Lin Zhao?"
"Yes, what happened?!"
"Don't ask so many questions. Report to the military camp tomorrow morning. Your reserve time is over and you must go to the battlefield."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Zhao is not afraid of going to the battlefield. On the contrary, now that he is a third-level warrior, he wants to get to know the outside world. However, one thing can be confirmed. The Tianchi Army is now too short of soldiers, otherwise Lin Zhao will not be allowed to go to the battlefield.
Such a young recruit went to the battlefield.
…
Early the next morning, Lin Zhao packed his bags, carried the ancient sword and the iron sword issued by the military camp, and explained to Xiao Shitou and Xiao Jiu'er that when he was no longer around, Xiao Shitou would send Xiao Jiu'er to school every day.
In addition, if the two of them don't want to cook, they can go to Baiweixuan to eat. He has already explained it to the boss. As for the expenses, they can all be withdrawn from the boss of Baiweixuan, and they will account for them one by one.
Afterwards, Lin Zhao took his two children to Baiweixuan and explained everything to Jia Zhong one by one. After the other party nodded repeatedly, Lin Zhao turned around and headed to the north of the town, and never looked back, for fear that when he turned back, he would see the children.
