Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 90

Before He Chenyi left the door, someone from the door reported that there were three guests looking for him, and he knew it was Nan Yan, Qi Yuhao and Dai Yingyu.

Since it was the [-]th day of every month recently, it was too noisy outside, so He Chenyi invited the three of them to his study to discuss.

Nan Yan told He Chenyi one by one what she thought and what she did during the day. As a businessman, He Chenyi also raised many doubts, but in the end he was overwhelmed by Nan Yan's explanation and nodded in praise of this The idea of ​​doing a fine restaurant business on board is very good.

"However..." He Chenyi finally mentioned a thought.

"But what?" Nan Yan looked at He Chenyi, waiting for his next words.

"Since it is an exquisite restaurant business, the level of dishes is naturally extraordinary, better than that of ordinary restaurants, and the price is also more expensive." He Chenyi said.

Nan Yan nodded, "I've thought about this too. I only do two or three tables of dishes a day, so naturally the cost is not low, and the price has gone up. This is the only thing I'm worried about. The common people cannot accept it."

"Ordinary people can't accept it, but dignitaries can accept it!" He Chenyi suggested, "It's like some people need five copper coins for a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall, and fifteen copper coins for the same bowl of noodles in a restaurant." A bowl of noodles with a copper plate is the same reason. When the ostentation is up, the status of the guests is also extraordinary, so naturally the price to be obtained is a bit more.”

As expected of being a businessman, every sentence has a way of doing business.

"But... I also want ordinary people to taste the cooking skills of my restaurant. This is my ultimate wish." Nan Yan said.

"It's not difficult at all!" He Chenyi closed the paper fan and said, "You have earned enough money from high-ranking officials, and when the time comes to open a restaurant for the common people, won't you be able to realize your wish? Let everyone They can all eat the dishes from your restaurant."

Unexpectedly, He Chenyi thought so far, even thought about the branch...

"Besides, you also said that after the restaurant on the boat opened, you are the only chef who cooks it yourself, and the value of the dishes is even more extraordinary. For dignitaries and dignitaries, the money spent on a good meal is not worth mentioning at all, but For you, the money is to gather less to make more, so as to realize a longer-term idea." He Chenyi said.

After hearing what He Chenyi said, Nan Yan suddenly became enlightened. All the previous doubts were thrown away, and she became more confident in doing the restaurant business well.

"Thank you Mr. He for your earnest and thoughtful business experience. Yan'er has been taught." Nan Yan playfully imitated the man, and cupped her hands to express her gratitude to He Chenyi.

"Hehe... Thank you, thank you! I'm just making my own opinion based on the business experience in the business field. Whether it's really feasible or not depends on the actual operation." He Chenyi said modestly.

"Then I will let go and do it boldly." Nan Yan said.

"Go ahead and do it, don't hesitate. Don't worry about the money, I'm here for everything. To make it clear, I'm just lending it to you, not giving it to you, so you don't need to be polite to me." He Chenyi said with a smile.

"There's me too!" Dai Yingyu stood up and patted her chest, "Although my accumulation over the years is not much, I can still do my part. Don't thank me so pretentiously, I'm just looking at brother Chenyi's face Just go up."

The words that came out of Dai Yingyu's mouth were always so blunt, seemingly unfriendly, but actually warm in her heart.

Talking and laughing, it was already late.Nan Yan, Qi Yuhao and Dai Yingyu are going to go home.Just when she was about to go out, Dai Yingyu found the clean mattresses and quilts neatly spread on the simple wooden couch beside the study.

"Brother Chen Yi, why are you sleeping in the study?" Dai Yingyu asked carefully.

He Chenyi suddenly seemed a little speechless, but soon recovered his smile and said: "It's nothing, sometimes it's late at night when I read a book, and I don't want to move when I'm tired, so I sleep here."

Dai Yingyu is not an idiot, when she used to play in He Chenyi's study, she saw that the simple wooden couch had never been covered with bedding.He Chenyi is a person who has very high requirements on the quality of life, the study room is used for reading, and he will naturally go back to the room when he sleeps, even if the pajamas are very thick.

"Brother Chen Yi, you..."

"Okay, okay! It's getting late, go back quickly, or your father and mother will worry about you again." He Chenyi smiled and pushed Dai Yingyu out of the study, not allowing her to ask any more questions.

After finally sending the three of them away, He Chenyi really felt sleepy.He undressed and slept on the wooden couch in the study.

The next morning, Nan Yan got up and made breakfast, and after eating breakfast with Qi Yuhao, they came to Yangzhou city together.

They first came to the skilled shipbuilder, drew the structure and size of the ship they wanted on the drawings, and asked the craftsmen in the shop to build the ship she wanted according to the drawings, and paid for it. deposit.

The next step is to put up a sign looking for someone on the street, and the banner reads "One person, male or female, who washes, cuts and prepares vegetables is recruited. One is a junior, preferably a man."

To put it bluntly, it is a recruiter, preferably as agile as Aunt Zhang.Xiaoer, as the name suggests, is to pass the dishes, and passing the dishes is a physical effort, of course it is better to find a man.

Because it is cooking exquisite dishes, there are no more than two or three tables in total, so there is no need for too many handymen to do chores, and the initial stage is to save costs.

In order to recruit an excellent layman, Nan Yan specially pushed out the small trolley she set up a stall with cutting boards, knives and other kitchen utensils on it, just to verify the skill of the recruiter on the spot.

Qi Yuhao always felt strange by Nan Yan's side, such a scene didn't match his identity, so he always got up and wandered around, feeling very uncomfortable.

As soon as the recruitment notice was posted, people came over one after another to inquire about the situation or directly applied for the job.

The first person who came to Nan Yan was an old lady with her eyes closed. She came to apply for the job after listening to the people around her read the contents of the banner.

Nan Yan looked at the old lady carefully, and asked awkwardly: "Ma'am, your eyes..."

The old lady responded indifferently: "Blind!"

Nan Yan was speechless for a moment, but seeing that the aunt was so old and still looking for a job, she couldn't bear to drive her away immediately.

"Then aunt...you are here..." Nan Yan couldn't ask.

"I'm here to apply for help." The old lady said confidently.

"This..." Nan Yan really didn't know how to persuade the old lady, her face was full of shame.

"Let's not talk nonsense, bring a knife and a chopping board, and I'll cut it for you to see." The old lady rolled up her sleeves, with a challenging posture.

Nan Yan smiled wryly, but she didn't want to offend anyone, so she had to get a chopping board, a knife, and a fat white radish from the cart.

"Have you got it?" the old lady asked.

Nan Yan said awkwardly: "It's already placed in front of you."

"Okay, take a closer look at my knife skills, ma'am."

After all, the old lady fumbled for the knife and radish that had been placed in front of her, and it took her a long time to get her hands on it. Nan Yan was so anxious to see it!The old lady let out a "hum", and slowly dropped the kitchen knife in her hand on the radish, then slowly cut it in half, then slowly sliced ​​it into slices bit by bit, and then sliced ​​it one by one. cut to shreds……

The whole process can be said to proceed at a snail's pace. Nan Yan was so anxious to see it, but there was no way to stop it!
"Okay!" About half an hour later, the old lady finally shredded a radish.

Nan Yan almost fell asleep at the side, Qi Yuhao couldn't stand it anymore, and he didn't know where he went for a stroll.

Nan Yan heard the sound, rubbed her eyes that were about to close, and looked down at the shredded radish that the old lady had cut on the cutting board.Seriously, it's well cut, agreeable size, and extremely tiny.

It's just the speed of cutting radishes... Nan Yan thought to herself, if she cuts vegetables at this speed and then cooks them, the guests will have to wait until the time comes to go crazy. Isn't this just a way of closing the door for herself?
Nan Yan smiled softly, and said politely: "Ma'am, your cutting is really good. How about it, give me your name and address, and I will notify you if you are hired."

"Notification? Why don't you hire me now?" The old lady was really confident to the extreme.

"This..." Nan Yan didn't know how to answer.

"Ma'am, don't join in the fun. They are serious about starting a business. Don't you mean to disturb them!"

"Auntie, you are so old and blind, how can you ask others to hire you?"

"That's right, that's right. Your shredded radish is pretty good, but the speed is too slow. Which diner can wait for you to cut vegetables for so long?"

Passers-by who had just watched the whole process by the side of the road spoke up for Nan Yan, confiding all the things she was embarrassed to say.

"Hmph, you just look down on me, I'm old and blind!" After being told by everyone, the old lady left angrily without leaving her name and address.

Nan Yan blushed, several black lines instantly appeared on the top of her head.Nan Yan was really surprised to meet such an applicant as soon as she came up.

Seeing the blind old lady leave, Qi Yuhao came back unsteadily.

"You really know how to hide, you really made me wonder what to do just now." Nan Yan counted pretending to be very angry.

Qi Yuhao said expressionlessly, "So what if I'm here?"

That's true, Qi Yuhao can't tell the old lady what to do with a cold face!

Nan Yan was just using him as an acquaintance to vent her anger. She didn't expect that it would be unfavorable for her to be a teacher, which really disappointed her.

I hope that this will not happen again in the future, I really can't stand it.

Qi Yuhao said calmly: "You still want to be the proprietress with your personality that is afraid of offending others?"
