As for opening a restaurant, Wen Xi decided to open a large restaurant with the money sent by Shu Shujue Luo. She hired Du He, the son of the wet nurse, Grandma Dong. Du He originally opened a small restaurant.
, but the business has not been very good. First, there is no capital. Without money, it is impossible to hire chefs. The hotel is also small in scale. However, Du He is good at management, so it is getting better day by day. However, there is still a lot to do to become bigger and stronger.
A long way to go.
As soon as he heard that Gege was going to open a restaurant, Du He was immediately overjoyed. When Wen Xi said that he would give him 30% of the shares, Du He immediately kowtowed and declined, not daring to accept: "I am satisfied with having 10% of the slaves! And although there is Niu Hu behind the restaurant,
To support Lu, we still need to win over a few backers with backgrounds!"
He specializes in the art, and Du He is a well-informed and loyal person, so Wen Xi can rest assured to leave it to him, "I will only keep 50% of the shares, and you can scatter the 40%. I will give you 10,000 taels of silver. If you don't have enough, come back again."
Tell me."
Because I bought a ready-made teahouse, it is located in Xicheng District, which is relatively close to the Xishan area. I bought a three-story teahouse in the most prosperous Xihua Street area. It was resold because of poor management.
Eight thousand taels, no concessions, saying it is ancestral property, and will not be sold at a penny lower, which is why it has been delayed for a long time. It is said that many people are optimistic about it, just because the boss refuses to give up the price, so it is still delayed.
In the Hua Street area, such teahouses are generally only worth five or six thousand taels. Du He could not negotiate the price, so he came to ask Wenxi for instructions, and Wenxi agreed on the spot. The teahouse was at the crossroads between Xihua Street and Nanping.
At the intersection of the streets, there is a courtyard at the back, six rooms that can be used as kitchens, and a warehouse that is more than enough for the servants to live in. It is not a loss.
Du He was involved in the affairs of the restaurant, and Wen Xi didn't put much thought into it. Most of the time, she asked her stewards to go to the capital to buy a large number of new varieties of flowers in a low-key manner. On the surface, they were planted in Biliu Manor, but in fact they were
Work hard for the prosperity of the space! Spring is a good time for transplanting flowers and trees, so it won't attract anyone's attention at all. What's more, there are restaurants bustling open, so buying flowers at Biliu Village is inconspicuous.
When the restaurant was renovated and opened, Du He specially invited a famous person to write a plaque. The restaurant was named "Xiangyuan Building" according to Wen Xi. Wen Xi also went there secretly, but did not dare to show his face in front of others and went directly upstairs.
In the private room.
Although in the private room, you can still hear the lively sounds downstairs, which shows that it is a good start. With such a location, such a background, and such good dishes, it would be strange if it didn't become popular.
Du He specially hired retired royal chefs from the palace, and famous chefs from the south who were good at cooking Sichuan and Jiangsu cuisine. Together with the "Thirteen Fragrances" provided by Wen Xi, the dishes he cooked were naturally much higher than those of other restaurants.
Wen Xi also had a deep understanding of the chef's craftsmanship, exquisite knife skills, control of heat, and matching of ingredients. They were not much different from the side dishes Wen Xi made in the space. Only then did Wen Xi realize that she was different from those
There is no comparison between chefs' skills.
While they were tasting the signature dishes, Du Hefeng ran in and said, "Gege, I have something urgent to report!"
Wen Xi was relieved with her chopsticks, Du He had always been steady, but to become so anxious, it was obvious that something big had happened.
"A big shot has come, but all the private rooms are full, even the few private rooms reserved for small ones are full! That person didn't make a reservation before, and now he suddenly came to request a superior private room. But the one in the private room
If you are not a respectable person, how can you be willing to give in?"
Song'er pouted her lips angrily, "What kind of big shot is so domineering? Don't you know that Xiangyuan House belongs to the Niu Hulu family?!"
Du He wiped his sweat and said: "I originally thought that there are big people everywhere in the capital, but that one is different! Others don't dare to boast, but those who have seen this will never forget it!"
It’s still wearing a yellow belt!”
"Is he from the royal family?" He said softly, but it sounded like Du He's tone was not that of an ordinary royal family.
Du He whispered: "It's Prince Gong and a few friends."
Wen Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that I can't afford to offend you." Kangxi only had two brothers, Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Chang Ning. "That's all, I've tasted the food. I'll ask someone to clean it up."
Son, go back to Zhuangzi."
Wen Xi didn't want to attract attention, so she went downstairs and planned to go out through the back door. She also came in through the back door in the morning, and the carriage was staying there. She only glanced at Prince Gong briefly. Although he was wearing regular clothes, the yellow belt around his waist was indeed
Hanging in plain sight, he clearly told others that he was from the royal family. He looked like a man in his twenties, had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, was not low in stature, and was full of grandeur. However, the person next to him was also wearing ordinary clothes, but the material was
Gong Duan didn't speak a word. Her eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of Prince Gong. They both had long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a straight nose. She looked gentle. There was a bit of restraint in her gentleness, but she didn't dare to underestimate her. Her stature was slightly
He was taller. Behind him were seven or eight plainclothes guards, and a few "men" with fair skin and no beards, who should be the legendary eunuchs.
Wen Xi didn't want to meet them, but Chang Ning strode over, blocked the way, and asked: "Which princess of the Niu Hulu family are you?"
Wen Xi couldn't help but feel a little angry and said: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling the girl who is waiting for the draft. Please give way!"
"Hey! What a big temper!" Chang Ning is used to being pampered and has never been lenient with others, "Just like that brainless firecracker of Yi Bilong, it seems that you are the daughter of Yi Bilong!" (In history!
, Yi Bilong died of illness in the twelfth year of Kangxi, so the plot needs to be postponed)
"My temperament has nothing to do with you! Who my Ama is has nothing to do with you! Please give way!" Wen Xi doesn't have a good temper at all. If she doesn't offend her, everything will be fine. If she does, everything will be fine.
, she will not compromise.
"What can you do if I don't let you?" Chang Ning showed off his arrogance with a ** attitude.
Wen Xi glanced at the man with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes standing not far away watching the show, and said, "Don't you know that a good dog shouldn't get in the way?"
Chang Ning suddenly blushed and said angrily: "How dare you call me a dog?!" He suddenly revealed his identity. He didn't say it originally, so Wen Xi naturally acted like he didn't know who the other party was.
Chang Ning said it himself.
Wen Ru smiled slyly: "Your Majesty? Could it be that the prince of the Qing Dynasty, who is bored all day long, likes to do things that block the way of everyone's ladies?"
Chang Ning was about to have a seizure when the man who was watching the theater coughed twice. Perhaps he felt that the majestic prince was being embarrassed by acting like this in public, so he hinted. Chang Ning snorted and waved his sleeves, "Here.
I’ll wait and see!”
The identity of that person has been secretly determined in Wen Xi's heart. Although she has never seen it before, she has never met Empress Xiaozhao when she went to the palace before, and she only saw it from a distance on the birthdays of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
He is also inseparable. Although I don’t know, if he doesn’t stay in the palace well, why would he come out...
