The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 130 Peach Blossom Banquet

Sure enough, after the free supply was stopped on the fourth day, ten sets of duck intestines for twenty cents a plate were sold in a short while. According to Yao Yu, each plate should not have too many duck intestines, and the price should not be too expensive , After all, in everyone's mind, this duck is not a good thing. Twenty cents is the lowest price everyone can accept. Why can't you put more, because if there is too much, everyone will feel tired and crooked.

Zhao Wensheng has been paying attention to the sales situation of ducks in the store. Many tables have an extra plate after eating one plate. Zhao Wensheng's worry was finally put down.This time, the hot pot restaurant has more income from ducks into the water. Although it is a small amount of money, it can add up to a lot. Besides, everyone will accept this dish in the future, and they will definitely earn more.

Nuo'er hadn't been working for a few days, and when the imperial decree came down, Xie Nuo was appointed as the cabinet minister of the sixth grade. The court was shocked. Letting a ten-year-old child take up this position will undoubtedly be met by many people. However, today's Holy Majesty insisted on doing so, and the opposition of a group of people was powerless under the emperor's coercion.

Everyone knew that Xie Nuo had fallen into the eyes of the emperor. Although he was only a sixth-rank position right now, who could guarantee that this child would not climb higher in the future, and the minds of the people in the capital suddenly became active.Xie Zhimo was the first to feel the change. Originally, the Ninth-rank Captain Renyong was considered a idle job, but within a few days it was said that he was promoted to the Eighth-rank Commissioned Xiaoqi Lieutenant. Although it was also an idle job, it was much better than before. .

The next person who felt the change was Yao Yu. Yao Yu received a lot of posts. What surprised Yao Yu the most was that there was a post from Mrs. Deng, Minister of the Ministry of War, inviting Yao Yu to go to Xie's house to enjoy the peach blossoms in March.Yao Yu didn't know the current situation of the capital, so he approached Nuoer and asked, "The capital is currently divided into two factions, one is the princeling party, and the other is the second princeling party. The Ministry of War is currently in a neutral position, and mother can go."

Yao Yu simply showed all the posts to Nuoer, but Yao Yu marked all the families involved in partisan disputes, so he would definitely not go to those families by then. For those who were neutral, Yao Yu still planned to go , in a sense, officials' wives sometimes also play a decisive role.

For those who couldn't go, Yao Yu also replied one by one, and sent the sweet wine he made. Some of these people were a little unhappy when they received Yao Yu's reply, "Inviting her is only because of her For my son's sake, I'm so ignorant of good and bad." He even threw away the rum that Yao Yu gave him.

Although some of them were not unhappy, they were also surprised by Yao Yu's reaction, "I thought it was a woman in the village, but I didn't expect to have such insight, so I underestimated her." Yu's reply was directly thrown aside, but these people had a tacit understanding and did not touch the rum that Yao Yu sent. After all, what good things can a woman from the village do.

The profit of the hot pot restaurant in the first month has also come down, and Yao Yu received 1000 taels of silver after excluding the cost of buying vegetables and starting salaries for the store staff.As for the income from the Pianpi Duck Shop, Yao Yu also reaped a net profit of 5000 taels of silver.

"Master Zhao, do you plan to open a branch of the hot pot restaurant?" Yao Yu asked.

"Branch?" Mr. Zhao asked in confusion.

"Just to open another hot pot restaurant." Yao Yu explained, "There is only one hot pot restaurant in the entire capital, and as Mr. Zhao said, there are a lot of people waiting every day. Why don't we divert these waiting customers to What about another hotpot restaurant?"

Zhao Wensheng clapped his hands, "That's a good idea. I'll go see if there is a suitable store today."

Although he knew that Zhao Wensheng must have experience, Yao Yu still said a few words, "Well, the current store is on East Street, and it would be better if the other one is on West Street."

It took only three days for Zhao Wensheng to buy the Yijian shop on West Street, for 8000 taels of silver. Yao Yu said, "When the time comes, I will pay for all kinds of store decoration expenses, which will be deducted from my profit."

"No problem." Zhao Wensheng was not at all worried that the profit would not be enough to pay the money. With the experience of the first store, Zhao Wensheng opened this branch much more easily. In less than ten days, the second store opened again. .

At the same time, Yao Yu also trained Lao Wang and Xiao Cao, and raised their wages to one tael a month in advance, which made Lao Wang and Xiao Cao very happy.In addition, Yao Yu recruited two more staff, the salary is still [-] Wen a month, and he is currently studying with Lao Wang and Xiao Cao.

Yao Yu is also looking for shops on another street, and plans to open a second branch of the duck. The profit of the roast duck is also very good, and the method of roasting is very simple. Generally, anyone who can cook can learn it quickly. , the special sauce is prepared in advance, and I don’t worry that someone will steal it. The most important thing is that the store doesn’t need to be too big, after all, this kind of food can be taken away.

Yao Yu quickly bought another shop, 500 taels of silver, slightly larger than the previous one. Yao Yu went to order two more large ovens. After finishing the plaque, he told Lao Wang and Xiao Cao about it. thing.

"My piece of leather duck is about to open a branch store. Now Lao Wang and Xiao Cao are both good at craftsmanship. You can go to one store alone, and the other is located in the next street. Which one of you will stay and which one will go to the new store?" Yao Yu asked. road.

At first, Lao Wang and Xiao Cao didn't understand why Yao Yu wanted to recruit so many people. The three people in the shop were all busy, and then they realized that Yao Yu was going to open a new shop. Lao Wang and Xiao Cao looked at each other. With a glance, the old king said, "I'll go there, it's closer to my house."

The two newcomers also chose their own places, and Yao Yu said, "Then it's decided like this. In the future, whichever of the two stores is more profitable will have more rewards at the end of the month." Lao Wang and Xiao Cao looked at each other, Both of them could see the meaning of fire in each other's eyes, Yao Yu smiled, as long as they knew about the competition, they would not have to worry about lack of customers.

Because of the opening of the new store, Yao Yu went to the new store first, but everyone knew how to eat the skin duck, so it was not as slow as the previous store opening. In one noon, all the ducks in the store were sold out.At present, the butcher supplies [-] ducks a day, and there will be no more ducks. Yao Yu had to ask the butcher to find another duck and sign a daily supply agreement.

In the blink of an eye, in March, the business of the four stores has stabilized one after another. Zhao Wensheng approached Yao Yu, "This is the money from this month's profit. I have already thrown away the miscellaneous money for buying stores. This is the account book."

Yao Yu casually flipped through it a few times before handing it to Zhao Wensheng. Zhao Wensheng thought Yao Yu couldn't understand it, but it happened that Yao Yu was very sensitive to these accounts. Zhao Wensheng had been able to observe carefully just now, and he would have found that the bills that Yao Yu opened were places where fraudulent accounts were more likely to appear.

"By the way, I'm going to get up and go back to Jiangzhou in the next few days. Last year, I was busy with hot pot, so I didn't have time to go home." Zhao Wensheng said.

Yao Yu was worrying that no one would help to ship the peppers, so there was a good candidate in front of him, so Yao Yu mentioned the peppers to Zhao Wensheng.

"No problem, I'll go to Shuangshui Village to collect it when I come back." Zhao Wensheng was a little surprised. No wonder Yao Yu's family seemed to have endless peppers. It turned out that they rented the land to the villagers of Shuangshui Village to grow them. The villagers only need to pay one thousand catties of pepper per mu of land every year.

"By the way, there is one more thing to trouble Mr. Zhao." Yao Yu said, took out a pen, wrote down the recipes of tofu mold, sauerkraut, chopped pepper, and soybean paste, and handed it to Zhao Wensheng, " This is the recipe for tofu mold, sauerkraut, chopped pepper, and soybean paste, Mr. Zhao can copy down the recipe for chopped pepper and soybean paste."

Of course, Zhao Wensheng knew that the soybean paste alone had made a lot of money for Manchuan Inn and Wangchen Restaurant. It would definitely cost a lot of money to buy it, but the two are very familiar now, so there is no need for polite words, Zhao Wensheng said , "Thank you, Mrs. Yao."

After arriving in the capital, Zhao Wensheng told Yao Yu that Yao Yu could still make those sweet wines and preserved eggs, but it was best not to sell them. Based on this alone, Yao Yu had to sell Zhao Wensheng's favor. Now soybean paste and chopped peppers Even if the favor is repaid, "You don't have to be polite to me, and then ask Mr. Zhao to help me deliver these methods to the four people who were earlier in the Yao family, and tell Aunt Wu and the others that each person can only choose one. In addition, their monthly wages are directly taken from the store's profits."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Yao, I will definitely convey it to you." Zhao Wensheng put the four cards away carefully, "Is there anything else?"

"By the way, there are also sauces. There are about ten jars." Yao Yu said, the sauce for Jiangzhou sliced ​​duck should be almost gone, so I can only ask Zhao Wensheng to help bring it back.

"No problem." These things are nothing to Zhao Wensheng, "Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the sauce."

March is also the day when Mrs. Deng, the wife of the Minister of War, invites Yao Yu to enjoy the peach blossoms. Pink peach blossoms and light blue are the best match in this season.That's why Yao Yu is wearing a light blue embroidered peach blossom chrysanthemum spring fir today, with a pleated skirt underneath, and the silver hairpin that Xie Zhimo gave him back then, which looks elegant and not simple.

Pei An came back after sending Yao Yu to Xie's Mansion. As soon as Yao Yu stepped into the gate of Xie's Mansion, the two people inside the door looked at each other. Girl, no, the hair bun is the hair bun of a married lady. Could it be a lady from some family?
Under the doubts of the two, Yao Yu handed over the post in his hand, and the two of them glanced at it, and hurriedly said, "So it's Mrs. Yao, please come here." Not everyone said that Zhuangyuan Lang was born in a mountain village. Why doesn't Zhuangyuan Lang's mother feel like a country at all?

Mrs. Deng was quite shocked when she saw Yao Yu at first glance, mainly because Yao Yu was too far from what she imagined, but even so, Mrs. Deng just greeted her lukewarmly, "So it's Mrs. Yao , please sit down."

After Yao Yu responded, Mrs. Deng went to talk to her people. Seeing Mrs. Deng's attitude towards Yao Yu, everyone understood in their hearts, and became indifferent towards Yao Yu.
