The General’s Wife of the Buddhist Family - Chapter 128
Hearing this, Luo Jianjia looked at Chu Weileng.
How did she know…
Isn’t it common to see things like Huo Kang? She remembered it in ancient times.
Is it because here is parallel time and space, there is no such thing yet?
Ah, no, what Chu Wei asked coldly was how she knew it, not what this thing was, that is to say, the fire kang existed, but it was very rare.
Soon, Chu Weileng confirmed Luo Jianjia’s guess.
“This thing is only available in Dongji Kingdom’s palace. I don’t know if I have been to Dongji Kingdom.” Chu Wei said coldly, “I heard that this kind of thing is extremely expensive and the materials it needs are unusually rare. Ordinary nobles can’t afford it.”
Just have it.
Luo Jianjia used the excuse he used to talk about: “When I was young, I liked to go to bookstores with my grandfather. There I read a book about anecdotes and incidents. It seemed to record a hermit living in the mountains and forests. He Once studied, the fire kang is used to resist the cold.”
After all, she did know how Huo Kang did it, and it didn’t matter where she knew it.
Chu Wei glanced at Luo Jianjia coldly, always feeling that this excuse was very familiar.
It seems that the lady’s cooking skills are also used as an excuse?
If it is another person to say such a thing, Chu Wei will definitely get to the bottom, ask clearly, distinguish the true and false in the other party’s words.
But for some reason, Luo Jianjia said this, Chu Wei Leng had no such thoughts, and instead trusted her extremely.
That’s what happened to Chu Wei Leng, not to mention Chu Boss and Zhao Clan.
Zhao caught a key question: “Jianjia, do you say that thing can keep out the cold?”
Luo Jianjia nodded and said, “Yes. In fact, the fire kang is a bed, but this kind of bed is not made of wood, but made of adobe and brick. There are holes in it that connect the flue. If it is burned When you get up, the kang will be very warm, and on the other side, you can boil water for cooking.”
“There is such a magical thing?” Zhao clan surprised, “Will it really be warm when sleeping on it in winter? It’s just connected to the flue, and it doesn’t really burn fire in it.”
“Yes, mother. Think about it, if the stove of our kitchen is on fire, is the place where the chimney is connected to the wall also hot?” Luo Jianjia said.
Zhao thought for a while, nodded, and said, “It’s really hot. But, it’s not particularly hot, so how can the Kang be warm?”
Zhao still found it incredible and didn’t believe it.
“Mother, the fire kang is really warm. People in the Dongji Kingdom like it very much. In winter, their empress dowager lays on it all day to keep warm. Moreover, if any minister makes a contribution, this is also one of the royal family’s rewards. “Chu Wei said coldly.
Chu Wei Leng knew that Huo Kang was very good, but what he didn’t know was that Huo Kang could be so simple.
If it were so simple, how could the royal family of Dongjiguo not be popularized in their country? After all, Dongjiguo was colder than theirs, and many people would freeze to death every winter.
But there is something strange about his lady, which makes people unconsciously want to believe.
Luo Jianjia looked at the expressions of Chu Weileng and Chu Boss, pondered for a moment, and said, “Msang-gong, will you take a break in three days? Let’s go to the General’s Mansion for a try that day. You will know by then. “
Chu Wei looked at Luo Jianjia coldly and said, “Okay.”
After dinner, Chu Weileng went to the barracks, and Luo Jianjia walked towards the shop.
Since the fried food shop just opened yesterday, they went a little earlier.
Before I got to the shop, I saw the new shop was full of people.
The three of them looked at each other and were a little surprised. Could it be that what happened in the shop?
Several people quickened their pace.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the shop, I saw the people around the door: “Treasurer, why don’t you open the door, it’s too late, right? It’s already time, and breakfast will pass immediately. Look elsewhere. Shop early, and the door will be opened at the time of Mao.”
“Yes, the shopkeeper, I have been waiting for two quarters of an hour, and my stomach is groaning with hunger.”
Zhao’s hanging heart was immediately let go, and he explained with a smile: “Our shop is open at the time of the day, everyone is coming early.”
“It’s too late, the shopkeeper, you’d better open the business earlier.”
Zhao said with some embarrassment: “But we can’t prepare the ingredients, and we can’t make it when we open the door earlier.”
The diners waiting outside were a little disappointed.
Soon, Luo Jianjia and the others opened the door. However, because the ingredients were not ready, many diners left. However, some people stayed.
Because there are many diners waiting outside, Luo Jianjia’s cooking speed is much faster today.
Two quarters later, Luo Jianjia fried the meatballs and chicken wings ordered by the guests and brought them out.
As soon as the fragrance went out, more and more diners came to the shop.
It’s already an hour after the busy schedule in the morning.
Luo Jianjia found that something was about to change now.
In the past in Chujiacun, they sold the meal at noon, and they sold very little. Basically, she did it all by herself.
Now when I came here, the spicy skewers were sold at noon and at night, and they sold a lot, so Zhao and Chu began to help them.
Now, the new shop has soup and noodles, which is very suitable for the morning meal.
If she is busy from morning to night, the shops on both sides are busy, and sooner or later she will get tired and sick.
Besides, she will open a new shop in the future.
Nowadays, there are more and more people living in the backyard of the shop. In addition to the Yuan family, there are also two women.
In the morning, the Yuan family can help make skewers and make bamboo sticks, and the two women can also prepare things for the new shop.
The shop is getting bigger and bigger, and she should let others do it.
Luo Jianjia told Zhao what he thought, Zhao was a little worried.
“If this is the case, wouldn’t our formula be learned by others?”
Luo Jianjia shook his head and said, “No, mother, let’s cook the recipe in advance, and then they only need to pickle it. You see, don’t we let others do the spicy skewers? It’s fine. Son.”
Zhao thought about the spicy skewers shop next door, then thought about the new shop now, nodded, and said, “That’s fine.”
Later, Luo Jianjia found the four newly recruited people and talked to them.
The chubby woman smiled and said, “Madam, don’t worry, we will do it well.”
“It’s just that, in the morning, it may be a bit harder, both to buy vegetables and to process the ingredients.” Luo Jianjia said.
“No hard work, no hard work. I got up early in the morning. I didn’t have much to do when I woke up these few days. So I helped Sister Li and the others make bamboo sticks. Fortunately, my wife arranged for us to do things. I have to be idle.”
“In terms of wages, it will also go up by the end of the month.” Luo Jianjia promised.
The thinner woman said: “No need, Madam, it’s already very good for you and Master Chu to give us such a good job. My son is also taken care of by Master Chu in the military camp.”
“One yard goes to one yard, and everything will wait until the end of the month.” Luo Jianjia said.
Luo Jianjia assigned good work to the six newcomers, and when it was agreed, everyone went to work separately.
There are obviously more people coming to the new shop today than yesterday.
When I went back in the evening, I did a calculation. I sold more than four taels of silver that day, setting a new high.
On the third day it was still four taels past, and it was a bit more than the second day, and it was almost five taels.
“How come there are so many?” Chu Wei asked in surprise, “Isn’t there two and three on the first day?”
“Because we sold one more hour in the morning these two days, many people came here for breakfast, more than the first day.” Zhao said with a smile.
Chu Wei pondered for a while and said, “Even if it is sold in the morning, this is too much.”
According to his taste, he thinks the spicy skewers are better, they are hot and spicy, and the taste is good enough.
Too much fried food is too greasy, and he is not used to drinking those milk tea and fruit tea.
He was really surprised that this fried food can have so many customers.
Zhao said, “Who knows. I think the food made by Jiajia is delicious, but there are indeed more people here than the next door. Could it be because of the high price? These few days, chicken alone can be sold for two. Thirty.”
Boss Chu is not quite clear either. He likes both of these things, and he doesn’t know the difference.
Luo Jianjia said: “Daddy, have you noticed that there are more children coming to the new shop?”
Zhao thought for a while, and said, “Yes, this is true. Many children have arrived in the past two days.”
“Is it because of the children?” Chu Wei asked coldly, and then he denied it. “But the appetite of children is not as big as that of adults, and it is impossible to sell so much.”
Luo Jianjia glanced at him and said, “Children do not have a big appetite, but they spend a lot of money. Parents, or elders, always like to take care of their children. Some things adults may not be willing to eat, but Will satisfy the little ones.”
Speaking of this, Luo Jianjia looked at Zhao’s and Chu’s boss.
The Zhao family glanced at his son and said, “That’s the truth.”
She tends to leave all the delicious food to her son, and is more generous to her son than to herself.
Boss Chu also looked at his son and nodded silently.
“There are also more girls and women.” When Luo Jianjia saw that they both understood, he said something else, “The milk tea and fruit tea in our shop are their favorite.”
Chu Weilian has no experience with children, but he has experience with girls.
He raised his eyes to Luo Jianjia, thinking that if she liked it, he would not hesitate.
Luo Jianjia noticed Chu Wei’s cold gaze and glanced sideways at him.
Seeing Luo Jianjia’s gaze, Chu Wei opened his eyes with a guilty conscience.
Luo Jianjia didn’t think much about it, and then said: “The most important thing is that the spicy skewers are hot and spicy after all. They have a heavier taste and can’t take care of everyone’s taste. But the food in the new shop is different. All tastes are different. Yes. There are both hot sauce and sweet sauce, which can meet the needs of all kinds of people. Moreover, we have everything to eat and drink in our shop.
After her analysis, everyone understood and why fried foods are better to sell.
It was too early, and everyone spoke for a while, and then went off to rest.
One day later, when Chu Wei took a cold break, Luo Jianjia went to the generals’ mansion with him.
Zhao’s and Chu’s boss went to the shop.
Originally, Mr. Zhao and Boss Chu would also follow to see how Huo Kang’s mansion did. The shop closed for one day.
But yesterday, the new shop sold more than five taels of silver, and the spicy skewers next door also sold more than four taels, which added up to twelve taels.
The two of them were really reluctant to go out of business, so they didn’t follow.
Whether it’s spicy skewers or fried things, Luo Jianjia has taught Zhao and the helpers in the shop a long time ago. The sauce and those ingredients are all prepared by her in advance, so even if she is not there, she doesn’t have to worry.
