Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 214 Yipinzhai
Early the next morning, Li Xin also went to Meixiang Garden.Because Yuexiang and the others wanted to go together, Li Xin brought everyone there together.

Anyway, Yuexiang and the others don't have much to do in Zheng's house, so why not take them there to play!

Sitting in the carriage, it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of Meixiang Garden.Now that Li Xin bought this place, Shi Ya gave Li Xin the key yesterday.After getting out of the carriage, he took out the key and opened the door, and Li Xin led everyone in.

"This place is so big!" Yuexiang said with a smile after entering the yard.The place of Meixiangyuan is indeed very big, the courtyard is very vast, such a large courtyard is not easy to see on weekdays.Even if you want to hold a banquet in the courtyard, you can do it. With such a big place as Meixiangyuan, you can imagine that the business together should be really good!Otherwise, such a large house would not be needed.

"Yes, it's really big, you guys go play first!" Li Xin rushed everyone.Caiyun had been to Meixiangyuan before, so she took everyone around for a tour.

Li Xin had to wait for those people from the kitchens before Meixiangyuan to come.Since Liu Yan made an agreement with her, she would notify those people to come over, so she probably wouldn't lie to her.And there is no need to lie to her about such things.

After waiting for a while, someone really came.Li Xin sat in the spacious kitchen and waited for people to come. Zhu Yong was guarding the concierge. Once someone came, he would come directly to the kitchen.Since you are looking for someone to work in the kitchen, it is natural to take a test in the kitchen.

The first person to come was a man in his 30s. According to the man's introduction, his surname was Song and his name was Song Yuan. He turned out to be the chef of Meixiangyuan.Hearing that he can cook a lot of big dishes, Li Xin asked Song Yuan to try his hand.

Li Xin just arrived and didn't bring too many ingredients, so the ingredients are very simple.Li Xin also asked Song Yuan to fry a plate of vegetables. Stir-frying vegetables is naturally very simple, almost everyone can do it, not to mention how delicious it can be, anyone should be able to cook it.However, the more you want to try your skills, the more simple dishes you want to make.

It’s like looking at a person’s painting. Many people can draw a rough resemblance to a complex painting, because they need a lot of brush and ink, but there are some problems in the painting. Also still like.The simple thing is, the simpler the painting, the more difficult it is to imitate. A few simple strokes, with a slight deviation, may feel completely different.

Anyone can cook simple dishes, but it is not easy to make delicious ones.

Soon, the vegetables were fried, and the color was very fresh and tender, maintaining the original green color of the vegetables. Just looking at the color, I thought it was very good.Then smell the fragrance, the taste is also very fragrant, very appetizing.Li Xin tasted it, then nodded, "Master Song is worthy of being a chef, the food tastes good." Li Xin praised with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Li for your compliment."

"If Master Song is willing to stay, then I will be your boss in the future. As for the treatment, I think it will be based on the previous one for the time being. After a while, I will take a look. If the job is done well, the wages will increase. What do you think, Master Song?" In the past, the people in Meixiang Garden, Liu Yan still paid very high wages.

Such a salary is not easy to find in this county even in the same industry.

"Master."

After that, people came one after another. Since Song Yuan was a chef before, these people in Meixiangyuan's kitchen are very familiar.Li Xin just asked Song Yuan, and almost understood everyone's situation.

However, she just knew Song Yuan, so she wouldn't fully believe Song Yuan's words for a while, so as long as she was a cook, she almost tried everyone's cooking skills.After taking a look, the quality of these people in Meixiangyuan is really good.The chefs are very good at cooking, and those who cut and serve the dishes are also very good.

In particular, one of them has a very good knife skill. He can carve beautiful flowers with simple ingredients, and he can also carve animals. It's really staggering.Speaking of which, although she has been studying cooking, she is naturally good at knife skills, but she is definitely not comparable to this kind of knife skills.At best, she can make a rose out of a plum!Carve a simple single-petal flower with radish.Moreover, the speed is definitely not so fast. This person seems to have carved beautiful flowers and birds in the blink of an eye!

It is said that the hands are familiar with the ear, and it seems that this person has definitely spent a lot of time and energy on this.This person is a 26-year-old man named Tian Sheng.Now Li Xin remembered this person.

In fact, good knife skills are also very important in cooking. Of course, many people will say that dishes are for eating, not for viewing.However, how the vegetables are cut, the thickness and size will affect the taste of the dishes.Also, if there are some tricks when serving the dishes, it will be very pleasing to the eye!
Flowers and birds carved out of vegetables are generally processed and can be used directly, which is much better than picked flowers.Many people use Dendrobium flowers in their dishes, but that is not very hygienic.The flowers have not undergone any treatment, at most they have been washed without special disinfection.

But if such flowers are placed on the dishes, who knows if bacteria will get into the dishes!Therefore, Li Xin does not advocate using fresh flowers to arrange dishes.

Of course, there are also flowers that are specially grown for consumption, but naturally they are different from ordinary flowers that are sold for viewing.If it's just for viewing, it's okay to spray pesticides casually, and it won't be eaten by people anyway.But for flowers that are specially eaten, this convenience should be paid great attention to.Because at that time, flowers were not just flowers, but a kind of vegetables.

Except for a few people who were in Meixiangyuan's kitchen before, they all came.Li Xin looked good, so they all stayed.Anyway, since we want to open a store, we naturally need to recruit cooks and kitchen handymen. Since these people come all at once, it is not better, and there is no need to recruit more people.

After everyone was settled down, Li Xin signed a contract with everyone.Oral agreements are not very reliable, mainly because Li Xin is not familiar with everyone, and they have not yet reached the point of trust, so it is better to have a contract.The contract directly stipulates a period of two years, which means that these people will work with her within two years. If they break the contract, there will naturally be a part of the liquidated damages.

After signing the contract, both parties feel at ease.After all, with the contract in place, as long as they don't do things badly, she can't just drive them away.It can be regarded as a guarantee for both parties!

After the contract was signed, Li Xin asked everyone to go back now, and came back here to start training after five days.The shop can't open yet, so naturally there is no need for so many people here.

After sending everyone away, Li Xin wandered around the yard, looking around.The rooms are pretty good, and it would be nice to use it as a private room.If the guests do not want to be in the house, the mat can also be placed in the courtyard.The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse and the scenery is pleasant, which is also a very good place.

And the weather is gradually getting hotter, and it is actually very comfortable to be in the courtyard.There is wind blowing, and there are so many flowers and trees, many places are shaded by trees.It is indeed very good to be able to enjoy the wind comfortably without basking in the scorching sun.

Li Xin thought for a while, since she wanted to open a shop for business, she couldn't keep customers.Originally, she was looking for such a secluded place because she wanted to entertain the wives and ladies of wealthy families, but after thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible for men to entertain.After all, many men also like quiet places!Or talk about something!It's nice to have a quiet place.

Fortunately, there are two courtyards, so Li Xin thought, the first courtyard is used to entertain male guests, and the second courtyard is used to entertain female guests.Once the door between the yards is closed, it is a separate world.Moreover, there is a side door at the second entrance to the yard, and there is an alley outside. The alley is relatively wide, and it is more convenient to park carriages and sedan chairs.And if you go in and out from the side door, you don't have to go directly through the first courtyard.

Now that the place has been bought, it seems that it is time to go back.But before leaving the county, you still have to think about the name of the shop first.

Li Xin had asked Zhu Yong to pick the plaque of Meixiang Garden, and now he is waiting to make a new plaque and hang it up.In the future, this place will not be a brothel, so the plaque of Meixiangyuan can't be kept anymore.

After returning to Zheng's house, Li Xin discussed the name of the shop with everyone, and even Mrs. Zheng also participated.Everyone discussed together, thought about it, discussed and discussed, and finally came up with a name called "Yipinzhai".It's not bad, but Li Xin just feels a little too arrogant.

After all, there are too many restaurants and restaurants in the world. With such a name, I am really afraid that people will kick the restaurant.

However, everyone felt good, so it was settled.Mrs. Zheng asked Li Xin to take care of other things as much as possible, and she would let people customize the plaque.This matter is settled, and Li Xin is about to leave.

"Aunt Zheng's family, let's go first! When will I come see you again?" Yue Ting hugged Mrs. Zheng's leg reluctantly when she was about to get into the carriage.

"Whenever you have time, you can come anytime. The Zheng family! You are always welcome." Mrs. Zheng smiled, and carried Yueting into the carriage herself.

"Auntie, let's see you another day." Li Xin said goodbye with a smile.Speaking of which, there are too many things to thank the Zheng family, but the word thank you is hard to say.Sometimes, some people don't need to say thank you, but to say that, it seems to be born.If you really appreciate it, then keep it in your heart and do your best to help the other party when they need it.
