The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 128 Preparation
Mr. Ji was obviously interested, picked up the fish head and threw it into the hot pot with nine square grids, Nuoer followed with quick pork and put it in the hot and sour pot, everyone became interested, and threw their favorite dishes into the pot one after another.

After eating a meal for an hour, he actually ate up all the ingredients Yao Yu bought. The surprised expression on Ma Ze's face has hardly disappeared. Whenever there is food cooked, he immediately puts it in his bowl.

"Mother, can I still eat this tomorrow?" Although the ingredients were finished, Nuo'er seemed a little unsatisfied.

"Okay, do you still want to eat?" Yao Yu asked.

Mr. Ji said, "This hot pot is really good."

Xie Zhimo followed suit and nodded, and even Ma Ze, who had few words, said hello.Only then did Yao Yu say, "Then continue eating hot pot tomorrow at noon."

On the second day, Zhao Wensheng came to visit. He was stunned for a long time when he saw Yao Yu's pots. Yao Yu gave Zhao Wensheng the blueprints, "Don't try to take these three pots away. You can make what the shop needs."

Zhao Wensheng took the paper from the pot, looked at the three pots for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's this for?"

"Hotpot." Yao Yu explained the hotpot, "This is the shop's decoration picture, and this is the menu. The dishes inside are all raw, so it's easy to prepare."

"Huh?" Zhao Wensheng was even more puzzled. He had opened quite a few restaurants, but he had never seen any raw dishes served directly to customers.

"Is Mr. Zhao busy at noon?" Yao Yu asked.

"No, no?" Zhao Wensheng didn't know what Yao Yu was asking for. Right now, he really wanted to know what this hot pot was, why such a pot was used, and there were raw vegetables. Can this kind of food really be cooked?
"Then stay for a light meal, we plan to have hot pot at noon." Yao Yu said.

Although Zhao Wensheng and Yao Yu have known each other for so long, this is the first time they have eaten together. Zhao Wensheng was shocked when he saw the three pots on the table.

Xie Zhimo said happily, "Brother Zhao, whatever you want to eat, just put it in the pot."

Nuoer then introduced the taste of each pot, and Zhao Wensheng watched in astonishment as everyone put the raw vegetables into the pot, and then fished them out again.

In the end, it was Ma Ze who said in a low voice, "If you stay in a daze, the food will be gone." Only then did Zhao Wensheng realize that he couldn't stop eating.

"How?" Yao Yu asked.

Zhao Wensheng nodded again and again, "It's delicious."

"Young Master Zhao, do you think this food can continue in the capital?" Yao Yu continued to ask.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Wensheng replied while putting food into the pot. Good job, there are so many people, and sometimes his food would be picked up by someone when he put it down.Zhao Wensheng had eaten peppers before, but the taste of the peppers in Jiugongge was hotter than the ingredients he had eaten before. Although it took him a while to get used to it, Zhao Wensheng felt that as soon as his appetite was whetted, there was no food on the table. Zhao Wensheng had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, silently recalling the delicious food just now.

Aunt Jiang and Pei An went to clear the table, Yao Yu led Zhao Wensheng to the side hall, "Master Zhao, do you have any idea about the name of the shop?"

"Ms. Yao said that this kind of food is called hot pot. How about we call it a hot pot restaurant?" Zhao Wensheng said. After eating at noon today, Zhao Wensheng only felt that this way of eating would become popular in Dayuan sooner or later.

"Okay." Yao Yu said, "You can make more of these three pots then." Because I don't know the preferences of the guests, I can only be prepared.

"Well, I will explain to these people how to eat." Zhao Wensheng went on to say that he had already thought of many ways to make money.

"As for the sauce, I will make it every day, and I will get someone to pick it up." Yao Yu doesn't want to hand over the sauce for the time being. Once there is a problem with Zhao Wensheng's staff, it won't be long. The method of making these sauces will be sure. It will all be leaked out, and the capital will be full of hot pot by then.

Zhao Wensheng naturally knew this. When he first came to the capital, it was impossible to arrange all his confidants to come to the hot pot restaurant. At this time, Yao Yu's approach was undoubtedly the most appropriate, "No problem."

"I put the three kinds of sauces in jars. When I use them, I put one-third of the sauces into boiling water. After cooking, I can take them out." Yao Yu added, "That's right. , Remember to find a master with better knife skills." Most of the hot pot is lettuce, and knife skills and plate presentation are particularly important at this time.

"Of course." The two discussed some details, and Zhao Wensheng went out to prepare with a pile of blueprints.Since the Chinese New Year is approaching, there is no need to open for the time being. Zhao Wensheng took advantage of this time to quickly renovate the store, and planned to open the hot pot restaurant after the new year.

Both Xie Zhimo and Ma Ze are serving as Lieutenant Renyong. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and they have not been assigned anything after reporting. They are currently at home, and they are not idle. Xiao Ruirui sticks to Xie Zhimo every day to learn kung fu, and Xiaoyouzi seems to like Ma Ze very much, and has been following Ma Ze, and Ma Ze is also quite patient with Xiaoyouzi.In fact, Ma Ze found a foothold outside, but Xie Zhimo's family thought, seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, they might as well wait until the Chinese New Year to move out. Ma Ze was straightforward and agreed directly.

This is the first year everyone spent in the capital, so they prepared a lot of things. This year, Yao Chang and Liu Xian were missing, but Zhao Wensheng and Ma Ze were added. Xie Zhimo knew what Yao Yu was thinking, and said, "When we gain a firm foothold in the capital, we will take over the second brother and the others, as well as Xiaolan and Xiaogui."

"Okay." Speaking of Yao Chang, Yao Yu thought of a piece of skin duck. Ordinarily, when mentioning this piece of skin duck, the first thing that comes to mind is the capital city.Therefore, Yao Yu planned to buy a small shop in the capital to make sliced ​​skin ducks. Of course, he had to find a duck supplier, but everything was sold in the capital, so Yao Yu was not worried about not being able to find it.

Beijing and Jiangzhou are different. Many shops in Jiangzhou do not open until after the Shangyuan Festival, while many shops in Beijing open on the eighth day of the eighth day. Yao Yu also went out, planning to go to a place not far from home After buying a store, Zhao Wensheng heard about it, so he came to look for Yao Yu on the eighth day of the eighth day.

"According to Mrs. Yao's request, it is close to home, the location of the shop is not big, and there are a total of three shops with a lot of people coming and going, but I checked the location of each shop, and finally think this one is good." Zhao Wensheng took Yao Yu went to this shop.

There are only two floors in total. If you put ovens and various tools on the first floor, you can only sit at most three tables of guests. There is only one small room on the second floor, which can be used as a warehouse. This shop is really good, "How much silver do you need for this shop?"

"1000 taels." Zhao Wensheng said, the price was the result of a half-day price reduction between him and the original owner of the shop.

"Okay, here it is." After Yao Yu made the decision, Zhao Wensheng took Yao Yu to meet the owner of the shop. After Yao Yu paid the money, the two of them went to sign the deed, and it was considered a purchase.

Zhao Wensheng was still busy with the hot pot restaurant, so he went back first. Yao Yu went directly to the shop with the key and the contract, cleaned the shop, then went to the blacksmith shop to make four ovens, and then went to the vegetable market .

Yao Yu went straight to the place where the ducks were sold and asked, "Boss, if I order a lot every day, can you deliver it for me?"

"How much does this lady want?" The butcher would buy a hundred or so in the vegetable market a day. If Yao Yu didn't exceed fifty, he didn't plan to give it away.

"Let's give away a hundred first." Yao Yu said, mainly on the first day of opening, he didn't know what kind of sales this piece of duck would be here, so Yao Yu didn't dare to order more.

The butcher didn't expect that Yao Yu's daily sales would be his one-day sales, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know where to send it?"

Yao Yu explained the location of the store, and then asked, "I can deliver it in three days. I buy so much, does the boss have a discount?"

"Yes, yes, a catty is calculated according to twelve renminbi." The butcher said.

"Okay, this is a deposit of one tael of silver. When the time comes, you bring it over and I'll make up the rest of the money for you." Yao Yu handed the money to the butcher.

The butcher hurriedly continued, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it to you."

After walking for a while, Yao Yu suddenly turned around and asked, "Can you leave the duck in the water for me then?"

The butcher was very happy holding a tael of silver. Hearing what Yao Yu said, he hurriedly said, "No problem, I'll send it to you at that time."

After leaving the vegetable market, Yao Yu ordered a plaque again, the name is Yao's Duck, and the plaque can be picked up in a day.After finishing the work, Yao Yu went to the hot pot restaurant. The decoration was mostly based on Yao Yu's drawings, and some small details were changed by Zhao Wensheng, but it was these small details that made the whole shop look more elegant.

"How, Miss Yao is still satisfied?" Zhao Wensheng has never paid so much attention to a shop. This time, he did everything by himself, whether it was the decoration of the shop or the making of pots and utensils.

"Very good." Yao Yu said sincerely.While the two were chatting, the plate with ingredients also arrived. Yao Yu took a look and found that Zhao Wensheng was really particular.

"By the way, if you haven't ordered the chopsticks yet, you can make them longer than the usual ones." It was only after seeing these plates that Yao Yu came up with the idea.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Yao Yu went back to prepare sweet noodle sauce. Aunt Jiang helped out because she knew how to make dough, while Pei An shredded green onions and cucumbers. The duck skin tasted a lot better after adding shredded cucumbers.
