Master Deng returned to Zuixian Tower, and Lu Mingtao and Mu Qingqi happened to be there, so they called him to the private room for questioning.
"Master Deng, thank you for your hard work." After all, it was Lu Mingtao who took the trouble to ask him to help Lin Zhu with the table, so Lu Mingtao said a few polite words first.
"Master Lu, this is serious. It's my honor to go out this time." Master Deng was very happy. It was the first time that someone valued the cook so much. He felt very honored.
"Oh, looking at you, something seems to have happened. Come on, let's talk about it." Mu Qingqi was also a little curious.
So Master Deng told how Lin Zhu first found him and then asked him to perform at the banquet.
"Aren't those ladies angry?" Mu Qingqi was even more surprised. Although the Shengyuan Dynasty's restrictions on women were not as great as those of the previous dynasty, it was still unreasonable for a cook to work in front of all the ladies.
"All the ladies gave rewards to the villain." Master Deng couldn't hide the smile on his face. Not to mention the rewards from several ladies, even the girl Lin Zhu was generous. She was in Zuixian Tower.
The monthly salary is only twenty or thirty taels, but she gets fifty taels at a time, plus the rewards from the ladies and ladies, it’s almost more than a hundred taels. Half a year’s salary is just like this, how can she not
What made him feel excited was that the most important thing was that he showed his face to the cooks today. I believe that in the future, more and more cooks will be asked to prepare the table like this.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that this Miss Lin has some fresh ideas." Mu Qingqi laughed. "But, wouldn't it be inappropriate if every cook went out to do this?"
"Of course not all the cooks are gone. How can other cooks be as skilled as Master Deng?" Lu Mingtao took over, "Master Deng, I guess Miss Lin has some special requirements for you, right?"
"Go back to your lord, go back to Mr. Lu," Master Deng bowed and replied, "Miss Lin found me the day before and made a lot of requests. At first, I was a little reluctant. But I didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect." Master Deng.
After a pause, she added, "She asked the little one to cook it from cold to hot, and the apprentice didn't need to intervene at all. He was only responsible for explaining." Although the secret recipe was not told, the essence of the dish was not at all.
It’s all said and done.
What makes Master Deng most unbearable is that Lin Zhu requires him to be neat in his movements, his explanations should be exciting, and his dishes should be beautiful. In order not to let others learn what he is best at, he has put a lot of thought into it.
"Why is this? Those ladies don't know how to cook by themselves." Mu Qingqi couldn't think of the benefits of doing so.
"Haha, Your Majesty, you have to thank Miss Lin very much. Not only will Zuixian Tower be full of guests soon, but the craftsmen will also be more sophisticated in their craftsmanship. It will not be an exaggeration to say that this is the first floor. Hahahaha.
"Lu Mingtao's mind was spinning very quickly. He had discovered that Lin Zhu's actions had brought countless business opportunities to Zuixian Tower.
"Brother Lu, why do I get more and more confused about what you say?" Mu Qingqi's head was filled with confusion.
"Your Majesty, it is not an easy task for the masters to go out to serve tables. This craftsmanship must be recognized by many people, such as Master Deng. Again, the masters must be relaxed. Otherwise, if they are timid at the moment, they will smash more than just
My own sign. Even the sign of the restaurant was smashed when I brought it with me. In the end, the chefs have to have their own special skills. Master Deng must have felt a lot when he went here." Lu Mingtao said, and Master Deng nodded. He was
I also had this feeling. Now that Lu Mingtao said it clearly, a cold sweat broke out on his back. If he had messed up at that time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"So much more to say?" Mu Qingqi felt that what he said was a bit too exaggerated.
"Your Majesty, the chef who runs the table has benefited a lot from it, so some cooks are also willing to go. People who want to make more money will naturally pay attention to improving their cooking skills. Once this cook's cooking skills are good, you say,
Can the business of this restaurant be bad?"
It was only then that Mu Qingqi truly understood the meaning of Lu Mingtao's words, and he couldn't help but feel happy. But then he thought, "Hey, Brother Lu, let's not get too happy first. Master Deng is just for an ordinary person to do."
How could those powerful people like the ministers or the prince know?"
"My lord, you are a powerful person, how about you do something?" Lu Mingtao was almost defeated by him. If it weren't for the fact that he was the fourth master's approved person, Lu Mingtao would have thrown away his sleeves and left.
"Me?" Mu Qingqi pointed at himself and looked at Lu Mingtao nodding, "This is not good, okay."
"What's wrong with this? The guests you invite must be rich or noble. Why not show them the strength of your Zuixian Tower? You can even do this in the Zuixian Tower, but you have to treat guests like this in the backyard.
Only the face of the person will be very bright." There are some words that Lu Mingtao did not say. If you want the master of Zuixianlou to go out to handle the table, you must not only make an appointment, but also limit the number of times, no more than five times a month.
, hard-won, will make people flock to it even more. Mu Qingqi, who must have understood the benefits of this matter, can also think of this.
"Hahahaha, thanks to Brother Lu for reminding me of such a good idea, otherwise I would have missed it. Thank you very much." Mu Qingqi cupped his hands. We must seize the opportunity for this kind of thing. It seems that we need to think about it carefully.
Lin Zhu did not expect that he had borrowed the tricks from his previous life because he wanted the ladies of his neighbor's house to feel differently. In the end, it benefited Zuixian Tower. Although the owner of Zuixian Tower later wanted to thank Lin Zhu,
But after knowing that the owner of Zuixian Tower was Fu Douer's biological father, Lin Zhu wished to stay as far away from him as possible, so Guan did not agree to meet with him. This kind of publicity method was in vain.
After attending the banquet at Lin Zhu's house, all the ladies returned home with gifts from Lin Zhu. Especially the ladies each had small gifts from Lin Zhu, which made them feel satisfied. Especially
Qi Yuner, this is really an unexpected surprise.
Mrs. Qi returned to her home with some dissatisfaction. She first asked the maids to serve a cup of tea, but then she was too hot and sometimes too cold. It was not until Master Qi returned to the house that he calmed down a bit.
"Madam, are there many people going today?" Master Qi asked with concern.
"Humph, I wonder who he is that makes you value him so much? He's just a dirt-legged guy from the countryside who doesn't even understand any rules." When he remembered that Lin Zhu didn't go out of his way to please him, but instead looked a little perfunctory, Qi let him know.
The lady was unhappy.
"No way, her housekeeper is very polite." Master Qi frowned after hearing what Madam Qi said. He originally wanted to befriend her. If it is true as Madam said, then this Miss Lin Zhu will not
Worth a deep friendship.
"Seeing is believing," Mrs. Qi recalled how all the ladies except her were full of praise for Lin Zhu today, and she felt even more uncomfortable. Moreover, even Qi Yun'er was much more popular there than her.
, she regretted not taking Qi Zhuer with her. "Master, please don't be fooled by her appearance." Hum, there is no way to get benefits from the Qi family in the future. Mrs. Qi deliberately misled Master Qi.
"According to what Madam said, we have to treat it with caution." Mr. Qi nodded, but he didn't know that it was just the woman's narrow-mindedness that made him miss many good opportunities in the future.
Qi Yun'er, who returned to her room, happily took out the gift from Lin Zhu, which was also packed in a box. When she was about to open it and take a look, her aunt came into the room.
"Auntie, please sit down." Qi Yun'er asked her to sit down at the table.
"Yun'er, how was your trip this time? No one bullied you, right?" Auntie asked with concern. She heard that the wives of several families went with their legitimate daughters. Only Qi Yun'er, a concubine, went, although
I don’t want to admit it, but after all, there is a difference between direct descendants and concubines.
"Auntie, how could someone bully me? I just want to have a meal. Look, this is a gift from Miss Lin. I just wanted to open it and take a look." Qi Yuner showed the box in his hand.
"What good thing can I give you? It's just a girl from the countryside who has seen the world." My aunt said not very interested.
"Wow, it's so beautiful." Qi Yun'er opened the box and was immediately attracted by the contents inside.
"What is it? Let me see." My aunt also came forward curiously. "It's so beautiful. It's so beautiful." My aunt also praised her and looked at Qi Yun'er and smiled.
Lying quietly in the box was a white jade hairpin made of magnolia flowers. Qi Yun'er immediately took it out and asked her aunt to put it on her head. "How is it? Auntie, does it look good?" Because she couldn't look in the mirror, she just
Ask your aunt.
"Well, it looks good. This Miss Lin is really discerning. How come the gift she gave is so appropriate?" Auntie's tone has now undergone a big change. She will never speak ill of Lin Zhu again.
"Auntie, you don't know that all the ladies in our alley are gone, and how old is this Miss Lin? Do you know?" Seeing her aunt shake her head, Qi Yun'er said again, "She
Only eleven years old!"
"What? You're so old?" My aunt's eyes widened. "How are the arrangements for the banquet? A child must be in a hurry."
"No way, the arrangements are very orderly. Even Mrs. Wang praised her." Qi Yun'er raised his head and looked at his aunt and said.
"The wife of the Royal Lord Bo's family is also here?" Auntie asked in disbelief. Mrs. Wang is famous for having many rules among these families, but she didn't expect Lin Zhu to be able to do it so that she couldn't even pick one.
Something went wrong.
"Yes, I also took my little son with me." Qi Yun'er nodded. The little boy seemed to have a good time playing with Miss Lin's brother. When he left, he also hugged a lot of toys.
"It's really unexpected. Then does she know your identity? Those ladies went to see you but Qi Zhuer didn't go, so they would definitely be unhappy." When my aunt thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well, it was like that when I first entered the house, but then it got better. I think that Miss Lin didn't care about my identity at all. After she knew that I was a concubine, didn't she also give me such an expensive gift?" (
