Chapter 493: Changes in the situation-Avoiding the God of Plague
The word-of-mouth of Shiyue Tower spread, and several rich families were welcomed to send their concubines or concubines who were expecting to give birth. Among the rich families, there were those from Pantan Pier, and there were also famous people from further places who sent them here.
They are all wealthy people, making money is inevitable, but Sun Jiugong's heart is not good. No daughter-in-law of a normal family has a good name.
Even though spring has arrived, the cold wave has not subsided. During the days when the snow melts, the weather is damp and even colder. The hot pot business at Fat Heart Restaurant and Jiangshan Cooking at Pier Branch Restaurant are naturally booming. As soon as they opened their doors on the 16th, the door was packed with people.
The customers did not close until midnight in the evening. Seeing that the clerks had been busy all day without eating, Zhao Wei, Wu Wei and Zheng Fu decided after discussing
Let’s have a good night for everyone. Because I didn’t expect that the business would be so hot that day, all kinds of ingredients were not prepared well. The only things left were some particularly greasy hoof meat and green cabbage hearts. Of course, some easy-to-preserve dry foods such as ham and eggs
Wait, there is never a shortage in the restaurant. Fish maw, sea cucumber, etc. are so precious that not many people order them, so the store also has some in stock.
A successful opening will win the hearts of the waiters and work hard for them, which will be beneficial to the restaurant's future business. Seeing that the food was not enough, the three shopkeepers ordered the seaweed, fish maw and other ingredients to be stir-fried in warm water.
It was a hot pot that would not make the waiters feel shabby. Everyone killed the chickens and ducks again. After removing the feathers and washing them, the chickens, ducks, hoofs, and pigeons were stewed with wine, salt, green onions, and ginger respectively, and then the green onions were removed.
ginger
.Use a large pot, put cabbage hearts, fish maw, and sea cucumber in it to make a base. Then put the duck, ham tube, chicken, and hoof around it in sequence, and put pigeons in the middle to form a plum blossom shape; surround it again on the outside.
Serve 10 eggs, with a piece of ham and a piece of winter bamboo shoots on top of each egg; put the green cabbage hearts on top of the pigeons, and finally add chicken soup, steam the soup in a basket, and serve together on the charcoal stove.
"Shopkeeper, what is this hot pot called?" Dr. Ke Erxing, a tea wine doctor, asked on behalf of everyone: "Hot pot was never like this before. It was just a soup base with various meats and vegetables sliced and boiled in it."
Isn't this because the mutton, pork, etc. have been used up. Although the weather is cold, the ice has turned into water and the slices cannot be frozen, so the boiled ones are used instead. Zhao Qi rolled his eyes a few times and said: "The name of the dish is Yipinguo.
It means the best taste."
"Cinnamon Zhixiang·Yipinguo"
The spring equinox has just passed, the weather is cold and windy, but the spring breeze has not yet moved. Burn charcoal to cook a dish, called Yipin. Various dishes in the hot pot, including cabbage hearts, fish maw and sea cucumbers, duck ham, chicken feet, are stacked layer by layer.
There are also jade-colored meat pigeons arranged in a plum blossom shape, eggs and winter bamboo shoots. Green vegetable and chicken soup, garnished with red ham. The charcoal fire is burning brightly, driving away the cold and damp air. The whole house is full of guests, toasting in harmony, showing the true love between master and servant.
Zhao Kui gave the order, and the guys stretched out their chopsticks and started eating. The pot was oily but not greasy, rotten but not melting, hot but not hot, cold but not cold. The color, flavor and flavor were perfectly combined. Everyone was steaming with the food.
Sweat was streaming down their faces. It was a cold spring, but all the waiters felt warm in their hearts. For no other reason than that, the restaurant business was booming, and this year was another good year.
The dragon raised its head on the second day of February, and it was a day of spring rain. For a dock, when the rain comes, the water begins to rise. Once the water level is high, big ships can come in, and the day of rolling accounts is approaching. As usual, at this time of year
, Mr. Zhu and his wife would come to Pantan to see the goods, not to mention that now, he has a job at Shiyuelou
The shares are there. When they arrived at Shiyue Tower, after listening to Zhou Ling's words, Zhu Yuanwai opened his eyes wide and said: "Fortunately, I came here once, and the shopkeepers who have made a lot of money in Shishiji have already taken root. Thousands of troops are usually stationed there.
, tens of thousands of troops were stationed during the war, and there was so much food, grass and military supplies. We were able to do business in the military camp, and we made a fortune."
After saying that, he ordered Mrs. Zhu to stay in Shiyue Tower, and Yang Fengshan himself did not return. He packed his luggage and prepared to go to Caishiji immediately.
The water has risen, the boatmen and laborers have returned, and the Pangxin Winery at Pantan Pier is crowded again, rushing to buy Jiangshanzhu to satisfy their hunger. Strings of meatballs and fish balls made of Jiangshanzhu are quickly sold out.
It was out of stock. Unexpectedly, the business was so booming after the new year. Li Misu, Tang Ren and Fei Tiaoliao were all laughing from ear to ear.
Opposite the wine shop, an old man singing came from nowhere. He played a huqin and his voice was so sad that it made you want to cry. He sang as he walked:
"Tianxianzi·Cooking the Country"
Heaven and earth serve as fuel for the people, heroes and heroes are boiling in the pot. How many people will become kings and emperors? The setting sun is dying, the bones are thick, and the past of the world is stewed in a pot.
The wealthy family is the meat in the cauldron, and the bones in the pot of the advisors. The peddlers and soldiers are the soup base, the country is boiled, the land is changed, and the earth is changed. Yesterday, it was a pariah and now it is a powerful official.
Although this voice is sad, it has a strange appeal. It sings about the tragic story of killing wealthy families and feeding on human flesh during the Huangchao Uprising. People can't help but prick up their ears. Li Misu went out to take a look, wondering where he was.
There was a strange old man who sang songs in order to make money by selling them, but there was no bucket for money hanging in front of him. The business in the shop became busy, so he hurriedly went back to greet the customers.
Half a month later, Zhu Yuanwai came back from Shishiji and brought back good news. The business had reached the military camp. According to initial estimates, he could earn at least 20,000 taels of silver every year.
Thanks to God's blessing, the business of Fat Heart Restaurant, Fat Heart Restaurant and Shiyue Building is booming. After hearing the news, more and more customers come like crucian carp crossing the river. Soon, after spring, the weather gets warmer, but
The business of hotpot and Jiangshanzhu is still booming.
Time flies, and it is the end of September. Unforeseen circumstances occur, and a super typhoon comes, causing flash floods and mudslides. Many houses are washed down, dozens of people lose their lives, and people are displaced. Fat Heart Restaurant is the first to take the lead.
Donations of food and porridge were made to provide disaster relief, but the floods were followed by the plague, and large tracts of victims fell to death.
Money can be used to save disasters, but the plague cannot be prevented. The restaurant can only be temporarily closed and wait for the epidemic to pass before reopening. Zhu Yuanwai suggested: "There is a risk of infection if you stay in Xianju, but let's go out together to Shishiji to avoid the epidemic."
Avoid the plague and wait until the epidemic passes before coming back."
This is a good idea. I have a lot of money and live a good life in Shishiji. I can just go there to see him. At the same time, I also see if there is any possibility of doing business. I have made enough money in the restaurant, so I might as well let him
Everyone learned together. After discussion, the shopkeepers decided to temporarily close the store. All employees who are willing to go out to avoid the epidemic can follow, and the travel expenses will be paid by the restaurant.
Zhu Yuanwai's family, together with Fat Heart Restaurant and others, totaling more than 30 people, hired ten large trucks, brought bowls, bowls, spoons and other necessary cooking utensils, and set out from Pantan to Cushiji.
