The Delicate Beauty In the Hegemony Essay - Chapter 48

    Riding the north wind, Shu Ning’s family traveled all the way south, and arrived in Yangzhou just in time for the Chinese New Year.

      Dense grass grows between the cracks, Jiangnan is so much warmer than the capital, and the weeds in the yard are still green and full of vitality!

    Unpack your bags, and the family rolls up their sleeves to work!

    Shu Ning, Du Shi, and Jin’er are responsible for cleaning the dust in each room. Master Song and Uncle Li first weed the yard and roof, and replace the tiles where the roof leaks. After three days, the work is done, and the daily necessities that should be purchased have also been purchased, and the family can take a good breath.

    The old neighbors all came to ask why the Song family was not an official in the capital.

    Master Song did not mention that his family was retaliated by His Royal Highness King Mu, but said that he could not adapt to the climate of the capital, he always coughed and vomited blood when it was serious. If you are not satisfied, you can only solve it by moving back to your hometown. Although Lord Song wanted to be an official, he even cherished his life and came back with the whole family.

    “Why did Brother Ze come back? Didn’t he take the exam?”

    “He is worthless, loves his family, and doesn’t want to be alone in the capital.”

    In any case, no matter how other people make inquiries, the Song family will not mention that His Royal Highness King Mu is bad, lest it be spread to the capital, and King Mu will come to find fault again.

    It’s settled. After the Lantern Festival, Master Song and Song Ze went to find errands respectively. Master Song is a two-ranked scholar and has many years of experience as an official. The goal he set for himself is a private school Sir, as a result, I was invited to be an official scholar by a school in Yangzhou City, and I earned a decent amount of money. Although Song Ze gave up his reputation as a leader, his talent was there, and he was hired by a wealthy family in the city to teach books to the young masters in the family.

    The Song family originally had dozens of taels of silver, but now both father and son have found a good job, and basically no longer need to worry about their livelihood. The mother cooks in the kitchen, cleans the yard, and is always at her command.

      “Du Shi, who was free, came over to talk to his daughter.

    Shu Ning looked like she was unlovable: “Mother don’t mention this, okay? I have suffered so much in the capital, and I am afraid when I think of sleeping with a man again, mother let me slow down Two years, okay?”

    When she was in the capital, Shu Ning did not mention how she served King Mu, and Du didn’t dare to inquire, for fear that her daughter would be uncomfortable. Now that her daughter said this, Du’s tears immediately fell. Come down, **** King Mu, did he not pamper his daughter normally, but tortured his daughter in some way?

    “Okay, mother, let’s not mention it. When Ning Ning wants to marry, mother will help you. If you don’t want to marry, mother will support her for the rest of your life!” Holding the poor daughter in her arms, Du Shi was distressed.

    Shun Ning snickered, Du Shi was very simple in this aspect, and never doubted that her daughter would lie to her.

    Finishing Du Shi is equivalent to getting Master Song. Without the pressure of urging marriage, Shu Ning began to think about how to be self-reliant.

    Scallion pancakes and small wontons are rare in Beijing, but they can be seen everywhere in Yangzhou, especially small wontons, almost every family can make them. If Shuning sells these local snacks, I am afraid they will not be competitive.

    Out-of-town food?

    Shu Ning first thought of Sichuan-style hot pot, but the hot pot base is a technical task, Shu Ning has never done it, and there are too many kinds of ingredients used in hot pot, and there is no refrigerator. Difficult to keep fresh.

    You can’t just consider the reputation of the food, but also whether you can cook it or not. Shu Ning recalled what he had cooked at home. Ordinary home-cooked dishes lacked bright spots, fresh…

    Shu Ning suddenly thought of KFC. When she was a child, she and her brother liked to eat KFC, and the friends were proud to have eaten KFC, but her mother felt that the things sold in KFC were not worth the price. , In order to satisfy her and her brother’s gluttony, her mother started frying chicken wings, drumsticks, and nuggets at home.

     Growing up, Shu Ning likes to cook food, she has also tried fried chicken legs, and she is very skilled.

    Thinking of the popularity of KFC and various fried chicken restaurants in China, Shu Ning believes that if she opens a fried chicken restaurant, the people of Yangzhou will also come to support her.

    Shun Ning first followed Du Shi to visit the vegetable market and learned about the market of live chickens.

    Shun Ning first bought a meaty chicken and asked the cook to kill it and clean it up. Shu Ning asked the cook to go out, and she fiddled in it by herself.

     Mrs. Du, the cook, Jin’er and the little maid were all curiously guarding outside the kitchen. It didn’t take long before they heard the sizzling sound of ingredients being put into the oil pan, followed by a strong temptation aroma. Du Shi is a meat and vegetable lover. As soon as he smelled it, his saliva flowed down, and the three Jin Er also secretly swallowed.

    When the kitchen door opened, Shu Ning came out with a plate, fried chicken wings, fried chicken legs, and fried chicken nuggets, all golden!

    Du Shi first ate a piece of fried chicken wings, the chicken wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant!

    Du Shi is full of confidence in her daughter’s cooking skills: “It’s definitely hot, but Ning Ning, your father and the others haven’t eaten this yet, mother will buy two more chickens, and you will cook it tonight. OK?”

    If you want to open a fried chicken restaurant, you must first have chickens. Otherwise, once the business becomes popular, the chicken sellers will increase the price. If there is a problem with the supply, Shuning’s business cannot be maintained.

    After discussing with the Song family, the whole family supports Shu Ning’s entrepreneurial plan, and the family’s deposit is willing to give Shu Ning flowers.

    Shun Ning first went outside Yangzhou to buy three acres of the most inferior fields with five taels of silver, and then invited people to dig stones and sand in the river to make foundations, and went to deep mountains and old forests to chop wood to make houses, chicken coops, In the chicken coop, a chicken coop that can raise 10,000 chickens is built in a month, including the place where the chicken farmers live, and the chicken coop next door is turned into a chicken slaughterhouse.

    With the chicken coop, Shu Ning signed four chicken breeders to do long-term labor, and then purchased 10,000 chicks from Yangzhou City and surrounding counties at the price of two cents a piece , a total of 22 taels, plus the cost of purchasing chicken food and the cost of renting the shop, almost all the existing deposits of the Song family were spent by Shu Ning.

    It took three months to prepare, and at the beginning of April, the first batch of broilers was developed. Shu Ning led six men and women who signed her a sales contract and had been trained by her, and set off a few coats of firecrackers , officially opened, with four gilded characters written by Master Song on the black-ground plaque—Golden Fried Chicken!

    A pair of fried chicken wings costs 38 cents, which is enough to buy a live chicken, but all dishes are half price for the first three days of the shop opening, and there is a good price, curious gold The diners of how to fry chicken were attracted by the sound of gunfire and stepped into this newly opened restaurant in Yangzhou City one after another.

    Facts have proved that not many people can resist the deliciousness of fried chicken. Even if the discount period has passed, the business of “golden fried chicken” has not only not fallen, but has become more and more prosperous.

    In just seven or eight days, Shu Ning earned back the cost and started a profit model. In Yangzhou City, the Song girl who was engaged to His Royal Highness King Mu and her newly opened “” “Golden Fried Chicken” also quickly spread throughout the streets.

    The business here is good, which makes some restaurant owners jealous, trying to get Shu Ning’s fried chicken recipe.

    Shu Ning had been prepared for a long time. The fried chicken kitchen was in the backyard of the shop, and no one could enter. The only people who could enter were the maids who signed the death contract. In addition, Shu Ning gave everyone A little bit of a cut, the shop makes money and the guys follow along. As long as the secret recipe is not spread, they can continue to make money, which is much more cost-effective than accepting a generous bribe from others and not having to risk their lives, so the people in the shop are solid, and the business is getting more and more. the better!

    After the shop’s business stabilized, Shu Ning no longer cooks by himself, but will stay in the shop every day, like a manager, supervising the operation of the business while dealing with some unexpected situations Incidents, such as someone’s young master burnt his mouth and cried, such as a lascivious diners molesting a maid who ran the hall.

    Of course, there are also diners who come for Shu Ning.

    A young and beautiful female owner who can make a lot of money, which man doesn’t want to marry? In addition to what the beauties want, there are also those who are greedy for money and dislike Shu Ning’s public appearance, or those who don’t care about Yin or Shu Ning’s reputation, just want to have a marriage with Shu Ning or even take Shu Ning as a concubine.

    In order to complete the task in this world, Shu Ning really wants to fall in love, but all the men who appear now have their plans, and the motives for pursuing her are not pure, so Shu Ning refuses them all . Because of Lord Song’s relationship in the officialdom, and Shu Ning’s marriage contract with King Mu, for the time being, there is no man who has become angry and dares to think of some indiscriminate thoughts.

    A man who ran the hall took marriage leave and went home to marry his wife. Shu Ning didn’t want to find someone temporarily, so he decided to run the hall for the young man for two days.

    Wearing a custom-made apron with the word “Song” that she asked Xiu Niang to customize, Shu Ning, the accountant and the two guys were preparing for the evening rush hour.

    Suddenly there was the sound of closing the umbrella and throwing the water at the door. Shu Ning looked up while wiping the table, and saw a young man in green shirt standing in front of the door, about twenty years old, wearing a jade hairpin, with a face Qing Jun, tall and straight, with a stand-out temperament, is like the first appearance of the male lead in an idol drama.

    Shuning, who was in a hurry to complete the task of love, suddenly had a little expectation at this moment.

    Who doesn’t want to find a beautiful love interest?

    Look at the drizzle, look at this ancient alley in Yangzhou, what a romantic encounter!

    He was a little restless, but Shu Ning was quite reserved on the surface, and motioned for another guy to entertain him.

    However, Shu Ning was still secretly observing the young man in blue.

    Unexpectedly, soon after sitting down, the young man in the blue shirt looked at her unintentionally.

    Shu Ning blushed hopelessly and turned to look aside.

    The young man in the blue shirt ordered everything on the menu, the young man brought the items to him, he looked at it, smiled and expressed to the man that he wanted to meet the owner.

    Come and ask Shu Ning.

    Shu Ning was inexplicably excited, and a little curious, what did this young man do when he saw her?

    “I’m the owner, what’s the matter with the guest?” When he came to the table by the window, Shu Ning asked with a smile.

    The young man in the blue shirt looked at her with surprise in his eyes, and then his beautiful thin lips opened slightly, and said three words to Shu Ning in a low voice: “KFC?”

    Shunning:…

    Young Master Qingshan confirmed his guess and smiled at Shu Ning: “I didn’t expect that the girl and I are people in the same way.”

    He is dignified and generous, regardless of his appearance and bearing, he is the male protagonist. After Shu Ning was shocked, his brain began to analyze.

    In this book of “Dynastic Powers”, it seems that only the male protagonist Chu Ling is a transmigrator.

    The person in front of him is Chu Ling.

    Shu Ning smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

    A new guest has come in.

    Shu Ning nodded to Chu Ling and turned to entertain others. At the same time, Shu Ning also completely removed Chu Ling from the candidate list.

    It is better to stay away from a creature like a big stallion.
