Not long after Shen Wan sat down, the manager of the restaurant, Zhao, walked into the lobby from the backyard.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming, Shen Wan stood up, looked at shopkeeper Zhao, and called out: "Hello, shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Hello, madam. Madam, please take a seat quickly."
Shen Wan smiled and sat down again.
"Don't you know the shopkeeper's surname?" Shen Wan looked at shopkeeper Zhao and asked. If she wanted to discuss business with someone, she couldn't know their name.
Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, "I'm Zhao Quan, do you know your wife's surname?"
Although the Crown Prince has ordered that if this lady comes to Zhaixing Tower for dinner, she must not neglect her and cannot collect money, but he has not said what the lady's name is. He cannot always call her "Madam, Madam".
Shen Wan thought for a while and replied: "My surname is Shen."
Shopkeeper Zhao is a considerate person. When he heard that Shen Wan only gave her surname but did not sign up, he knew that she did not want to give her full name.
"Then I'll call you Mrs. Shen."
Shen Wan nodded and agreed.
The waiter served tea, filled up the cups, and then went to work.
Shopkeeper Zhao looked at Shen Wan and asked directly: "I heard from Shui Sheng that Madam wants to discuss business with me, but I don't know what kind of business she wants to discuss?"
Their Zhaixinglou is a restaurant that sells wine and delicacies. Mrs. Shen wants to discuss business with him. This business should be related to ingredients!
Shen Wan smiled and said: "I had nothing to do and made some pickles. I wanted to come and talk to the shopkeeper to see if these pickles can be sold in Zhaixinglou."
Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhao showed a look of embarrassment on his face. Their Zhaixinglou is a place where dignitaries come to consume, and they sell all kinds of delicacies. These pickles are just ordinary people. During the harvest season, they pickle vegetables. Get up, put it aside to eat when there is no food in winter, it really can't be put on the table of their Zhaixing Tower.
Although Mrs. Shen is an honored guest that he cannot neglect, the pickle business cannot be discussed.
Shen Wan saw Zhao Quan's dilemma and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, why don't you try the pickles I made first, and then we can talk about it."
She is very confident in the kimchi she makes, but if shopkeeper Zhao doesn't like it after tasting it, she will naturally not embarrass others.
"That's fine," Zhao Quan nodded.
"Then let's borrow the shopkeeper's kitchen." These kimchi haven't been cut yet! She couldn't just pick up a radish and let shopkeeper Zhao chew on it, so she had to borrow the kitchen to cut everything.
"Madam, come with me," Zhao Quan led Shen Wan and Qiu Ju to the kitchen.
The back kitchen of the Star Building is no smaller than the dining hall at the front. There are eight large stoves in the kitchen, and there are hundreds of large and small baskets in total. There are more than 20 people cutting and preparing vegetables. , at this time, everyone in the kitchen is preparing the dishes for lunch.
When people in the kitchen saw the shopkeeper leading two women into the back kitchen, they all looked at the two of them curiously.
The master chef of Zhaixinglou was sitting at the door of the kitchen basking in the sun. When he saw Zhao Quan leading two women into the back kitchen, he said unhappily: "Shopkeeper Zhao, outsiders can't enter the kitchen. Don't you know?"
This is a rule in the kitchen. In order to prevent someone from stealing or causing mischief, outsiders are not allowed to enter the kitchen.
Zhao Quan smiled apologetically and said: "Master Liu, of course I know this. Mrs. Shen is an honored guest of the Crown Prince. She just borrowed the kitchen for a while."
When Master Liu heard that it was the prince's distinguished guest who wanted to use the kitchen, he said nothing more and continued to sit and bask in the sun.
Shen Wan borrowed the chopping board, Qiu Ju washed her hands and opened the lid of the small jar.
As soon as the lid was opened, the unique sour smell of kimchi wafted out, and those who smelled it could not help but salivate in their mouths. Many of the guys who were chopping vegetables stretched their necks to see what was in the little jar. What is it wearing?
Qiu Ju grabbed a red radish and a small cucumber from the jar with clean hands.
The little brothers who were chopping vegetables all frowned when they saw Qiu Ju taking out an ordinary red radish and cucumber.
Shopkeeper Zhao watched Qiu Ju cut the radish and cucumber into strips, and couldn't help frowning. He felt that there was nothing special about the pickles, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
