The Imperial Concubine Chef - C126

A few days later, Su Xinyu took out the blood jade bracelet and gave it to Aunt Zhang. Then, he made her come over and whisper a few words in her ear. After that, the Aunt Zhang nodded her head with a face full of smiles. Young Master, don’t worry. I will definitely sell these bracelets to you for a good price! ”

Su Xinyu smiled and nodded: “I am relieved to know that Aunt Zhang has matters to attend to. I’ve already found out the price of this bracelet, but because it’s rare, it can be lifted. I’ll give you one tael if you raise it by ten taels. An extra one hundred taels would make ten taels. ”

When Aunt Zhang heard that, his eyes widened, “Young Master. As slaves, it is perfectly justified for us to work for you. “How can I take your silver?”

Su Xinyu laughed: “Why can’t I? This is in accordance with the work, raising the price is your ability, relying on your own ability to earn silver is the justice of the world. However, I don’t have that many opportunities. I don’t have much inventory on hand. This time, I’m going to wade in first. ”

After that, Zhang An Zhi went on holiday with Su Wenlan, and stopped following him to organize the new house, and went out to busy himself selling off the two bracelets.

Su Xinyu was not in a hurry either, as she too, started to look at the shop.

Actually, she already had a plan in mind. Although Zhang Ziyi gave her a lot of pointers, but she felt that there were only three places that suited his.

The first one was on this east side street, right next to the east side street, right next to the Qiao family’s residence. In front of the door was a small two-story building with a small courtyard behind it. It was about the same as the current Su Family. This price wasn’t that high.

The other one was on the middle street, a three story shop with a big face. The yard behind it was also not small, so it turned out to be a restaurant owner. That was why he had so many things to do. Right now the business was still open, and could be considered as one of the old merchants of this city. It was just that the dishes did not have any special characteristics, so it could not compare to the business of the other few big restaurants in Haian City. But it’s not cheap.

The last location on the north side of the city, near the city gate, was a huge courtyard. It was originally a cooking pot, but the old man who had the secret recipe suddenly passed away. The secret recipe didn’t stay behind, and the later generations didn’t know how to brew wine. So he had to sell the house. This had nothing to do with the power of the Third Prince previously. The price was just right for such a big place. However, if he wanted to open a restaurant, he would have to make a new one. What Su Xinyu wanted to open was definitely not an ordinary small shop. At the very least, she needed a private room on the second floor in order to be able to keep customers who were willing to pay a high price to eat good food. Thus, the price calculated was almost the same as the one on the street. The only good thing was that the port was only 30 miles away from the north gate. There were a lot of buyers and sellers coming and going, and there was a lot of human traffic, so they couldn’t bear to part with it.

Zhang Ziyi gave Su Xinyu a suggestion, “Young Master Su, why don’t you take these three? It’s fine to say that your three thousand taels of silver isn’t too much different. A short one thousand and eight hundred taels of silver is only a matter of a few months to you. I’ll cover you up. “Don’t you think you’ve let me down. Just think about it, just follow the interest.

Su Xinyu laughed: “I understand your good intentions. To be honest, I really like these three places, but it’s hard for me to take them all down. Think about it, this is not just buying and selling. When the time comes, we will also need to renovate the decorations and invite people over. Even if someone does this, I can’t do it. You know that. I’ve taken on so much for myself. The mouths of a dozen people are waiting for me. I’ll have to leave money behind. “Besides, I can’t afford to buy and sell all three of them. I don’t have the energy to do so alone.”

Zhang Ziyi sighed: “That makes sense too. I just feel that it’s a pity. ”

Su Xinyu had an idea. “Why not we work together?”

Zhang Ziyi did not understand. “Ah? “What do you mean?”

Su Xinyu laughed: “In the past, Ling Ge has already told me that we can form a business partnership in the future. The Central Street area was originally a large restaurant, so it was more suitable for selling high-end dishes. There were more merchants passing by the North Gate, but it was not a place for leisure and elegance. It was more suitable for medium quality dishes. Do you think that would do? I bought the Middle and East Streets. It’s a little expensive, but I wanted to cook. But the North Gate was a good place. We’ll work together. When I get out of the menu, you go find the cook and I’ll take three, you take seven. “How about it?”

Zhang Ziyi laughed after hearing it. There is no need to ask our Fifth Master about this, I will agree to it. However, these days, the menu was the basis of the restaurant’s survival. If you took out the recipe, it would be equivalent to using half your strength. We can sign the agreement, we agreed on a fifty-fifty account. But this cook wants you to come out too. It was a secret recipe, after all. You can buy some more. Anyway, you will still say that you live in the middle ranks of the North Gate, so you don’t need to find a chef Master like the royal kitchen. ”

Su Xinyu did not make any excuses. Fine. However, I hope that you, Uncle Zhang, will take the trouble to find a chef for this matter. After all, I’m not a big person, so I can’t go to the Bureau by myself. ”

Zhang Ziyi laughed after hearing it, “Don’t worry. I’m not going to the Servant Bureau this time. It’s still easy for me to go to the capital and find a few cooks who have nowhere to turn to. At this time, every day, there would be officials who fall and family chefs and servants, it would be very easy to find them. ”

After listening to his daughter’s final decision, Su Wenlan decided to buy two buildings, and cooperate with Wen Ling on the other. “This really gave her a fright.” Xinyu, with such a big war, can we afford to spend all this money? ”

Su Xinyu said honestly, “Mother. Truth be told, it really wasn’t enough. The smaller one on our street costs at least eight hundred silver. Two thousand for the middle street. Moreover, this was only the price of the shop, not counting the money needed to renovate, decorate, hire and buy goods. “It’s worth at least 1,800 taels of silver.”

Su Wenlan’s heart was about to stop. So many! This … this … Why not just go somewhere else? Can’t you take it slowly? ”

Su Xinyu comforted her mother, “Mother. This is the right time, Uncle Zhang can still keep these for me to choose from. They can’t let this business go to waste in the future, can they? He would definitely sell it at a high price. I already have a capital of my own. If I don’t take it now, I won’t be able to buy it later. And I have plans. This street here, I’m going to rent it. One could earn a hundred and eighty taels of silver a year. Although it’s better than nothing, when we use it in the future, we don’t need to think about other places. As for the other side of the street, I’ve decided that the business there is still open. After you give it back to me, you can keep the shop assistant for yourself. chef, let me take a look. If it’s possible to keep the account room, it’s useless. I can look after this myself. Cultivate Hu Ya to do it in the future. So it doesn’t cost much silver. He would fix it after she earned some silver. The courtyard over there was also relatively large. The saucepan factory currently occupied a large area and could not move the place. However, it was impossible to leave such a large courtyard idle. In addition to the kitchen, I also plan to build a winemaking workshop. Just like the fruit wine in the space, this place didn’t need to be that big. We don’t do that much, just sell it in the shop. With Spirit Spring, there was no need to worry about the quality of the wine. “At that time, you can also be our restaurant’s signboard.”

Hearing her daughter’s clear explanation, Su Wenlan was not worried, it was just that spending so much at once, to an ordinary village woman like her, was simply too hard to bear. These mothers don’t understand either, but as long as you feel that it’s feasible, Mother won’t trouble you any further. ”

Su Xinyu laughed, “Mother. Just be at ease and prepare to move. I’m in the shop. From tomorrow onwards, I will bring along Uncle Fu and Hu Ya. With them helping to prepare the shop, you don’t have to worry that I won’t be able to do it alone. ”

After all, Uncle Fu was an adult male.

In the next two months, everyone on Su Family was extremely busy. After Su Xinyu took down the store, the Aunt Zhang helped him sell the Blood Jade Bracelet. Zhang An Zhi was capable, and used some ingenious methods to let the few female servants in the backyard, to let them know that she had something good that could calm her mind and help her blood flow. Of course, the most important thing was for Jin Xiang Tower to know of this news. Zhang Anzhi herself had never shown her face in the city. Judging from her demeanor, one could tell that she was a woman from the mansion. It was also reasonable that her master wanted her to sell her dowry and make up for her family. Therefore, Jin Xiang Tower bought them for 1,100 taels of silver.

Su Xinyu did not hesitate to give Zhang An Zhi thirty silver. The remaining seventy taels were given to her mother, who, he mused, would at least be enough to prepare the shop and buy a few cooks.

Zhang Ziyi did not hesitate, and quickly summoned three cooks for Su Xinyu. These three people came from the three restaurants in Beijing. However, there was only one chef and two other chefs. They were basically the merchants who had been taken in by Shangguan Lin. There were actually quite a few useful chefs. However, there were not many who could use it with ease. These three could be said to have been carefully selected.

When Su Xinyu saw the three of them, she looked rather satisfied. At least it wouldn’t be repulsive. And body was not bad with a single glance. Su Xinyu had planned to let them have their own way, so she had taken a liking to the profits. Therefore, before she could buy any of them, she had the three of them make four dishes and a soup for her.

The two chefs were well-behaved. There were no major problems, but there was nothing breathtaking about it either. Su Xinyu paid attention to their basic techniques and seasoning techniques. There were still some things she could teach her. The chef had shocked her. chef did not choose the expensive ingredients that were prepared in the kitchen, but chose the simplest ingredients.

Chicken shredded sauce, shrimp tofu, mushroom meat, stir-fried mustard blue and a bowl of what seemed to be ordinary but was not.

The soy sauce with the shredded chicken sauce was very fragrant. The chicken wire was torn by hand, so it was very tasty. The meat quality was not dry either. Because the fire was just right, it was actually somewhat elastic. The prawn tofu was even sweeter and more delicious, and the fishy taste of the tofu was deftly removed. Moreover, this dish had a shape to it. Inside the tofu ball, there were several white and pink prawns. It was very pleasing to the eyes. The mushroom meat looked normal, but it surprised Su Xinyu when she ate it. The mushroom itself was of good quality and the meat was plump and beautiful. However, after absorbing the flavour of the sauce, it actually emphasized the sweetness and crispness of the fungus. On the contrary, the meat had become a supporting role. As for stir-fried mustard water, there was not much to praise about it. Su Xinyu only felt that this light feeling was very well-placed.

Although the Clear Chicken Soup was far from being able to reach the top of the broth, it was able to use chicken fluff to clear the broth. Furthermore, the broth was fresh, sweet, and rich, but not greasy. Uncle Zhang, I will stay behind for all three of them. You’ve really helped me a lot! “
