"Except for some people who said that there is still room for improvement, basically everyone who tasted it was very satisfied." The wild Taoist who went out for a trip came back and whispered to Su Ziji.
"Especially the dishes and soups with..., every one of them is full of praise." Since there were others here, when the wild Taoist mentioned "insect powder", he directly ignored it.
"Congratulations, Lord! Judging from today's situation, the new restaurant selling seafood should be a great success!"
Seeing the man talking, Ye Buhui saw the food and wine being served, so he lit the food with chopsticks: "Let them talk, it's just the two of us, we can't make it lively, and we can't listen, so we have to enjoy the food."
Zhou Yao took a bite with chopsticks and her eyes brightened: "It's very fresh, especially fresh."
One fresh dish covers all kinds of delicacies. In fact, the customers who came today are all seafood customers. They are either dignitaries, wealthy people who came to Beijing to study, or ordinary people. They heard that the price of trial food is lower than after the opening, and most of them
They didn't dare to move forward, but these taste-testing customers brought not only confidence to the restaurant, but also free advertising.
As long as these people go back and tell their relatives and friends about the delicious food in Mengyuan Restaurant, they will spread the word to tens and hundreds of people. On the official opening day, it will be several times more lively than today, and this restaurant will become an instant success.
It's on.
Su Ziji nodded and was very satisfied with what the wild Taoist did according to his own arrangements.
Apart from anything else, when it comes to matters like this, wild people can often draw inferences from one instance to another and never make any mistakes.
Su Ziji even thought that if the wild Taoists had not followed the gangs but followed the merchants, they might have made some achievements long ago.
But in that case, I would not be able to meet a capable subordinate like a wild Taoist, so many things depend on fate.
No chance to get together.
Just as I was sighing secretly, I heard someone talking at the stairs on the third floor: "It's really lively here. It seems like the business is good."
A voice that was slightly younger and shriller, a little different from the man, asked: "You just said that all the sea fish here are brought to Beijing alive? My husband came here specially to taste it. If it is false, be careful with you."
Tongue!"
The waiter hurriedly laughed and said: "Oh, gentlemen, please rest assured that our restaurant's seafood business only uses live animals. We would never dare to use dead fish to fool our guests! Let's see what we want to order, sir.
Let the kitchen prepare it right away, and we will never disappoint the guests!"
It seemed that someone had found a table to sit down over there and started ordering. Su Ziji, who was sitting on the screen, raised his eyebrows slightly. The voice sounded very familiar.
"Eunuch Zhao?" The person who came was actually an acquaintance.
He turned around and took a look through the gap in the middle of the screen. It was indeed Eunuch Zhao, sitting at a table by the window with a few people.
They were all dressed in casual clothes. Seeing how timely they arrived, they might have been paying attention to their movements.
Su Ziji didn't intend to worry Ye Buhui. He looked away and motioned for everyone to start using their chopsticks. He ate slowly while listening to the conversation.
I heard a little eunuch pretending to be a follower over there, whispering to Eunuch Zhao about Mengyuanlou advertising to the Imperial College. Eunuch Zhao laughed sneer after hearing this: "It's interesting."
"Isn't that right? This Mengyuan Restaurant is really unique. I actually thought of using this method to attract business. If it can really become a hit, I'm afraid it will soon be among the top ten restaurants in the capital."
Listening to what the little eunuch said, Eunuch Zhao glanced at the people eating on the third floor. Although the prices on the third floor were slightly more expensive than the ones below, the environment was better after all, but overall, because this restaurant's seafood was not
It's very expensive, but also extremely cost-effective.
It is really cooked with live fish and can be kept fresh. This alone is the best way for this newly opened restaurant to gain a foothold in the capital. What's more, there is such publicity.
"Marquis Dai is really good at thinking of ways." Even though he had seen many ways to climb up in the palace, Eunuch Zhao could not help but sigh at Su Ziji's clever mind.
While talking, a dish and a soup were served.
Several young eunuchs served Eunuch Zhao to eat and drink. This behavior did not surprise others. After all, no ordinary people could come to eat seafood. Some people did not like to pay attention to ostentation when meeting friends, but some people did. Zhao
My father-in-law's behavior was not conspicuous.
After testing that the meat was not poisonous and the fish bones had been removed, Eunuch Zhao picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth: "Huh?"
As soon as the fish was in his mouth, Eunuch Zhao, who had always been picky, looked slightly stunned, and then nodded: "It is indeed fresh, but the workmanship is a bit sloppy."
This is obviously not made by a top-notch chef, otherwise it could have been better, which is a pity.
He took another spoonful of soup with a small spoon and drank it slowly. As he drank the soup, he was really surprised: "How delicious is it?"
"Is it soup stock?"
This is not impossible, but when I think about it, if I use soup stock, the price will not be what it is now. Is there any other way?
After all, based on his understanding of Su Ziji, he shouldn't be someone who would make a fool of himself and make a profit at a loss.
While they were talking, the dishes they ordered were served one after another. Eunuch Zhao tried them all one by one, and he felt more and more that it was not easy to serve as a marquis.
"In addition to Mengyuan Restaurant, Daihou is also planning to open two new restaurants. In this way, he will have four restaurants in the capital. Even if the old restaurant does not specialize in seafood, the business will be booming."
"Looking at the situation, if it stabilizes, each floor can earn seven to eight hundred taels of silver per month, which is twenty-five thousand taels a year..." This is still a conservative estimate. Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but be surprised by such calculations.
Looking at the restaurant again, something was wrong in his eyes: "Even among the kings, the royal palace's annual income is only 20,000 to 30,000 taels."
Only three restaurants can make such a profit. If Su Ziji does other business in the future, is this still a big deal?
After eating a few more mouthfuls, Eunuch Zhao, who just came to try the food to see what was going on, stopped moving his chopsticks. There was nothing to eat in the palace, so this was just a small surprise.
"Let's go back home."
These people left one after another after not staying for long, and Su Ziji, who turned out from the screen, looked at their departing figures thoughtfully.
Obviously, the eunuch was waiting to see the situation and reported back to the emperor.
"Business has to be done. If you can't even run the Dai Mansion, let alone your reputation in the eyes of the emperor, and you don't have a good reputation in the eyes of the emperor, who will turn to me?"
"But solving it quickly has its drawbacks. The emperor should divert his attention."
"It's time for me to cry miserably." Su Ziji murmured as he returned to his seat and sat down.
At this time, not only Ye Buhui and Zhou Yao were confused, but even the wild Taoists were surprised and looked at their master, wondering what he meant by what he said.
With the hearing of a wild Taoist, he could not hear the low-pitched conversation of Eunuch Zhao and his party just now.
It’s so hard to cry, now that Daihou is prospering, why are you crying so hard?
