Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

If we talk about the image of Yang Xian in Liu Min's mind in the past, it has always been the image of a sage who can turn things into rain and moisturize things silently.

And just now, when I heard Yang Xian's words.

However, Liu Min only felt that she was standing naked in the wind and snow in the middle of winter, feeling the chill that penetrated into her bones.

"I know, little one." Liu Min replied carefully.

If the profits were calculated based on the cost of the lotus leaf chicken in their Yuelai Restaurant, then those Jiangnan businessmen would probably lose everything this time.

Liu Min originally thought that his scheme was vicious enough, but he didn't expect Yang Xian to be even more ruthless than him.

Yang Xian glanced at Liu Min, as if he could see through his mind, but he didn't care.

"Let those wealthy Jiangnan merchants sell it for a little longer. Every time they sell a lotus leaf chicken, they are digging a handful of dirt for their own grave."

Liu Min hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak: "If it takes too long, the popularity our Yuelai Restaurant has finally accumulated will also be lost. Wouldn't it be a pity?"

Yang Xian smiled and said: "Then let's introduce a new signature dish. I just thought of a dish called Yangzhou roast duck."

This signature dish is really what Yang Xianxian thought of.

With this dish, Yuelai Restaurant's dilemma will no longer exist.

"Do you think what I did was a bit cruel?" Yang Xian suddenly asked.

The smart man Liu Min was not in a hurry to deny it. After thinking for a long time, he carefully replied: "My boss is doing this for us to remember that the business is good. If it were me, I would only do better."

Yang Xian looked at Liu Min, nodded, and then shook his head.

"I do this for the sake of Ming Dynasty, and even more for the sake of our people."

"Our ultimate goal in doing this is to break the monopoly of the Jiangnan consortium, bring delicious food to ordinary people's homes, and let the people of Ming Dynasty go from being full to eating well."

"Treat the common people and comrades as warm as spring, and treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the harsh winter."

Liu Min's whole body shook after hearing Yang Xian's words.

Originally he thought Zhao Dongying and the others were on the first floor and he was on the second floor, but he didn't expect that he was the clown in the end.

And Yang Xian's last words became his creed for the rest of his life.

Liu Min raised her head and when she looked at Yang Xian again, she was greeted by a smiling face.

The sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.

Jiangnan, Hangzhou.

Yangquan Restaurant.

With the launch of Lotus Leaf Chicken, the business of Yangquan Restaurant has returned to its former glory, or even better.

Even though the lotus leaf chicken in their restaurant costs as much as one tael of silver.

But after all, this is the only one with no other branches.

Some people would rather save money to eat.

It’s just that the delicacies that may be eaten every day on weekdays are changed to a week, a month, or even longer.

At the same time, Yuelai Restaurant branches in various places were pursued and intercepted by these wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River, and their business suddenly plummeted.

Yuelai Restaurant Head Office.

"Brother, it's not an option to continue like this." Liu Yong said with a sad look on his face. "Although Minister Liu's farm is booming, our restaurant business is getting worse day by day. We should continue to sell lotus leaf chicken."

In Liu Yong's view, the price of lotus leaf chicken at Yuelai Restaurant is ten times cheaper than that at Yangquan Restaurant. As long as they resume selling lotus leaf chicken, the other party will not be their opponent.

But in this way, they cannot be completely driven into hell.

Naturally, Liu Min has not forgotten Yang Xian's instructions to him, to treat the enemy as cruelly and ruthlessly as in the severe winter!

You must not leave the other party a chance to make a comeback.

"Brother, don't worry. My boss has taught me a new signature dish. As long as I make it, I can win back the victory." Liu Min said.

"Inform the shopkeepers of Yuelai Restaurant branches everywhere to bring their chefs."

"Okay!" Liu Yong nodded and said.

In order to develop new dishes, Liu Min simply closed down Yuelai Restaurant.

These days, he has tried many times alone according to the secret recipe given by Yang Xian, and has mastered the trick.

On this day, the managers from all over the Yuelai Restaurant and the chefs from their respective restaurants finally gathered at the main store.

To be honest, some of them came with grievances.

Because of Liu Min's decision, the business of Yuelai Restaurant in their hands is getting worse day by day, and this will directly affect their performance appraisal at the end of the year.

Under the Mingji Commercial Bank system, salaries are linked to performance appraisals. One of the most important points in measuring the performance of restaurant owners like them is the profitability of the restaurant.

Therefore, in their opinion, if Liu Min did not give them a good explanation today, they were ready to unite and go directly to Wang Yuemin to file a complaint.

Liu Min didn't explain too much. She just told everyone that Yuelai Restaurant was going to launch a new signature dish. The shopkeepers from all their branches were invited to come over today so that they could learn from it.

In the eyes of everyone, Liu Min plucked and washed a duck that had been prepared in advance, then hollowed out all its internal organs, and then sewed the opening shut with a signature.

Then a simple inflator made of bamboo tube was used to inflate the duck. After Liu Min's operation, the duck's skin quickly bulged up.

After completing this step, Liu Min slowly poured the boiling hot water on the side of the duck and scalded the duck skin tightly.

Then, hang the duck in a ventilated place and let it air dry for an hour. Wait until the moisture on the duck completely disappears, and even the duck skin begins to emit oil, and then remove the duck.

Then came the final step of processing the duck. Liu Min used the sugar water that she mixed and repeatedly smeared the skin of the duck. After applying it evenly, she left the duck to air-dry for an hour. This step was repeated twice.

In the open space in the backyard of the restaurant on the other side, Liu Min had already made a large oven out of soil and stones according to the design given by Yang Xian in the past few days.

While the duck is finally drying, the oven is set on fire.

After the duck was dried, Liu Min took it off, filled the duck belly with apple chunks, and finally put it in the oven for roasting.

Half an hour later, the aroma of roast duck filled the whole yard.

"It smells so good!" Everyone couldn't help but say.

"Deputy General Manager, what exactly are you doing?"

Liu Min stood up straight and said proudly: "Yangzhou roast duck!"

After the roast duck came out of the oven, Liu Min skillfully sliced ​​it, and then asked someone to bring out the prepared pancakes, sauce, and shredded green onions.

"Come and have a taste. If you have any comments, you can mention them."

Under Liu Min's guidance, everyone dipped the pancakes in sauce, rolled them with shredded green onions and roast duck skin, and started eating.

It didn't matter if he ate it, a few people immediately started grabbing it.

"It's so delicious, Vice President, I almost swallowed my tongue just now!"

With so many people present, the most people could get two bites of a roast duck.     The roast duck was quickly wiped out.

But everyone present was obviously still unfinished, and they all looked up at Liu Min.

By this time, the grievances in their hearts when they came had already been wiped away with the roast duck.

In their opinion, with the presence of Yangzhou Roast Duck, they are confident that Yuelai Restaurant's business will be able to return to its former glory.

Liu Min looked at everyone and said with a smile: "If you still want to eat it, that's easy. Now you can cook it by yourself. If you don't understand anything, please ask it at any time and I will teach you at any time. Wait until you really learn this Yangzhou roast duck Whatever you do, you can leave."

Hangzhou, Yangquan Restaurant.

"Master, Yuelai Restaurant is closed."

After listening to the report from his servant, Chen Liaoyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, although he saw the business of Yangquan Restaurant booming, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

It wasn't until today that I heard the news that my competitor was closing down that the tight string finally loosened.

In his opinion, as soon as Yuelai Restaurant collapses, it will be time for him to deal with Ai Kun.

The man in the hat named Ai Kun really got into trouble before.

The reason why Chen Liaoyuan agreed so readily was because he thought that brothers from all over the south of the Yangtze River could share the burden.

But he never thought that those brothers were like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river like him, and they could not protect themselves.

Almost all well-known restaurant businessmen in Jiangnan were plotted by others at the same time. It is difficult not to make people suspect that this is a long-planned conspiracy.

An extremely crazy idea came to Chen Liaoyuan's mind, that is, it was possible that this person named Ai Kun was in the same group as Yuelai Restaurant.

But when he told everyone about this idea, no one took him seriously.

In the eyes of these Jiangnan businessmen, this matter was impossible to happen.

If Yuelai Restaurant really wants to defeat them, all it needs to do is continue selling lotus leaf chicken. Why let Ai Kun do such a thing unnecessarily?

All you need to do is let Ai Kun continue to provide Yuelai Restaurant with supplies of local chickens.

Chen Liaoyuan thought about it and agreed with this truth.

But after all, I still felt uneasy in my heart, until I heard the news that Yuelai Restaurant was closing.

But what Chen Liaoyuan and the others didn't know was that what Liu Min wanted to do was not just to steal their business, but to destroy the signboard of their restaurant that had stood for decades or even centuries, as well as their jobs.

Time just passed by day by day.

Until Chen Liaoyuan and others completely relaxed their vigilance, some wealthy businessmen in other places had even begun to forget Chen Liaoyuan's original words, and even increased the price of lotus leaf chicken on the basis of the already high price.

And at this time, it was a sunny afternoon.

The doors of Yuelai Restaurants that had been closed everywhere were opened without warning, and the notices posted on the doors announcing closures for repairs were also removed.

Just for a while, no one noticed.

Chen Jinlong.

There was once a famous Kuo Shao in Hangzhou City. He claimed to be the little white dragon among the people with makeup and powder. He was tall and handsome.

Back then, it was indeed a scene of riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, with red sleeves and red sleeves all over the building.

It's a pity that it is now in decline.

He has only two major hobbies in his life, one is lusting after women, and the other is delicious food.

Because of his womanizing, he lost all the wealth passed down to him by his father, and even the six houses by the West Lake were sold out.

Nowadays, he is not rich, but he can barely maintain his life, but after eating the lotus leaf chicken from Yuelai Restaurant, he has become a wealthy man.

The greedy thing in his stomach was brought out again.

From then on, nothing tasted good.

If Yuelai Restaurant was on sale, he could barely afford it.

But now that Yangquan Restaurant is selling them for one tael of silver each, he really can't afford it.

On this day, even though Chen Jinlong knew that he really had no money in his pocket, his feet just refused to obey him and he walked into Yangquan Restaurant by accident.

Chen Jinlong thought about quitting, but when he smelled the fragrance of lotus leaf chicken, he couldn't walk anymore.

My heart skipped a beat, here we come, today my Lord Long must eat a lotus leaf chicken before leaving.

When he thought of this, Chen Jinlong straightened up instantly and suddenly regained the momentum he had when he was a young man in Hangzhou. He found an empty seat in the lobby, reached out and patted the table, and shouted loudly: "The waiter's , let’s have a lotus leaf chicken!”

Chen Jinlong's shout immediately attracted the attention of the waiter at Yangquan Restaurant.

When the waiter saw that it was Chen Jinlong, he immediately came forward to entertain him warmly. However, he did not inform the kitchen to get the lotus leaf chicken, but went directly to the second shopkeeper.

The second shopkeeper was also unsure about the matter and reported it to his boss Chen Liaoyuan.

"Boss, that Mr. Chen is here again?" the second shopkeeper asked.

"Which Mr. Chen?" Chen Liaoyuan asked subconsciously.

"Originally, the Chen family by the West Lake, Mr. Chen Jinlong and Chen, he has done a lot of credit these days," the second shopkeeper said with a troubled face.

The reason why the second shopkeeper is in such a difficult situation is that before the Chen family fell into decline, Chen Jinlong could be said to be the biggest patron of the entire Yangquan Restaurant. Not to mention the money spent on meals and drinks, the money he spent on daily tips to the waiter was countless.

As the second shopkeeper, he naturally accepted rewards from Mr. Chen.

It is precisely because of this that he has agreed to Chen Jinlong's credit several times these days.

It's just that there are too many credit transactions, and they come almost every day, which is really too much for him.

He couldn't bear this responsibility, so he could only report the matter to his boss Chen Liaoyuan.

Chen Liaoyuan nodded slightly and said, "I understand, leave it to me to receive it personally."

As he said this, Chen Liaoyuan put down the account book on hand and walked out of the back hall. When he saw Chen Jinlong, a smile appeared on his face.

"Isn't this Mr. Chen? It's been a long time since we last met?" Chen Liaoyuan said with a smile.

Chen Jinlong looked at Chen Liaoyuan and smiled: "It's true that I haven't seen Boss Chen for a long time. I haven't seen you since those mansions by the West Lake were sold. Why are you in the restaurant today when you are free?" .”

Chen Liaoyuan didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in the other party's words. He smiled and handed Chen Jinlong a cup of tea and said directly: "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. I run a restaurant, not a porridge shack."

"Look at what you said, I'm not begging for food." Chen Jinlong replied with a smile without changing his expression.

At this moment, a plate of lotus leaf chicken happened to be served at the next table. Chen Jinlong immediately raised his nose to smell it and said, "There is too little pepper in this lotus leaf chicken, and the unique aroma of the spices is weak."

"Hey, your nose is really sharp." Chen Liaoyuan said. (End of chapter)
