Chapter 68
Chapter 67
In fact, it is more convenient to open up a restaurant. With the same decoration, as long as the wall is gone, the two can be combined into one. In this way, Qishanju is likely to become one of the best restaurants in the county. It’s just that the development is too fast, and the manpower can’t keep up.
Jiang Yunzhu thought for a long time, but gave up.
A business does not only have horizontal development, but horizontal development is the most effective, but in her dream in Anping Hou Mansion, she saw too many things of “seeing him building a tall building, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapsed”, It is better not to expand blindly, and it is best to fight steadily.
So she decided to develop vertically and open a teahouse next door.
Now there are many young men and women who come to Qishanju. If you open a teahouse next door, it will sell elegant and clean, and you will definitely not worry about losing business.
Moreover, the operation of the teahouse is simple, as long as you prepare tea and some dried fruit snacks, but the teahouse earns a lot. For example, a pot of Biluochun may only cost 30 renminbi, but it can be sold for 80 renminbi, which is definitely a good business.
Teahouses and restaurants have different operating hours. Teahouses are mainly open in the morning and afternoon, and restaurants are mainly busy at noon and evening meals. The two can rely on each other and cross each other, which can increase the stickiness of customers and save money. Manpower, the more Jiang Yunzhu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
If it wasn’t for the lack of capital, she would have thought of building an industrial chain integrating eating, drinking, and entertainment.
Of course, she just thought about it, even if the people in Wuling County are rich, they are not enough to support her to build such a behemoth.
If it is changed to Luzhou or Beijing…
Forget it, thinking too far, Jiang Yunzhu decided to think about her teahouse first.
Soon, she roughly thought everything out.
“Open a teahouse?” Jiang Cheng and the others were a little at a loss when they heard her say that. How did she think of opening a teahouse? Obviously opening a restaurant is easier and more profitable.
Jiang Yunzhu told everyone the one, two, three or four reasons why she was thinking. Xie Chen was the first to react and looked at her with admiration. Being able to recognize herself clearly at such a time, not to advance aggressively, and not to be greedy for merit, I am afraid that many big figures in the court could not do it, but she did.
Such a girl is really admirable and convincing. I really don’t know who will marry her in the future.
He suddenly saw Shen Fengming standing behind the crowd, although he was just standing there quietly, it was impossible to ignore.
Xie Chen suddenly thought of Gu Yanzhou, and thought of himself, today in May, success or failure depends on one move!
After hearing so much from Jiang Yunzhu, the others also began to think that opening a teahouse was really a good idea.
“Then it’s decided.” Jiang Yunzhu finally said.
Everyone happily agreed. Anyway, whatever Jiang Yunzhu said, they would do the right thing.
Jiang Yunzhu started to prepare for the teahouse. First, she ordered a plaque. This time she went directly to Shen Fengming, “Mr. Shen, can you write a plaque for me?”
“Okay.” Shen Fengming spread out the paper and looked at her.
Jiang Yunzhu had already thought up the name of the teahouse, and it was called “Tea is not cold”.
Shen Fengming already knew that she was going to open a teahouse, but when he heard the name, he was still a little startled, he thought the name of this teahouse would be similar to Qishanju, but who would have thought that it would be these three words.
The tea is not cold, and it is said that people go to the tea to be cold, but Jiang Yunzhu’s teahouse is called “Tea is not cold”, which seems superficial, but it is actually worth savoring carefully.
Shen Fengming quickly wrote these three characters and handed them to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu took it, no matter how many times she read it, she still liked his writing very much. Just like the books he gave her silently, she couldn’t put it down.
Li He was asked to go to the plaque shop, while Jiang Yunzhu went to the county government office with the deed and land deed, and officially transferred the house to his own name.
The matter went smoothly, and after a while, she got a new house deed.
Coming out of the county government office, Jiang Yunzhu looked at the red seal on the deed, how can I put it, I am very happy, this is her first real estate in this era. After all, both the house in Changshi Village and the pavement of Qishanju were rented before.
One apartment at a time, Jiang Yunzhu felt that this kind of activity could actually be repeated several times.
Of course, she just thought about it. After all, who can guarantee that they will always win!
Back at Qishanju, the front shop is not accessible, but the backyard is actually accessible.
Jiang Yunzhu found someone, and the next day, those people came, and with a few hammers down, the wall collapsed, and Qishanju and the backyard where the tea was not cold became a whole.
Suddenly, the whole yard became open.
Simply, Jiang Yunzhu asked them to demolish the two side rooms that were a bit of an obstacle in the middle, and the entire backyard became a large open space in the middle, with seven main rooms at the back, one with two side rooms on both sides, and one with a side room.
“There is no such bright place in the entire county.” Xue Jing praised. Compared with this yard, his small yard is almost like a bird’s nest, it’s impossible to see.
Li He and his wife were also very envious. Jiang Yunzhu had only come to Wuling County for less than a year, and now he has his own house and shop. It would be great if they could buy their own house anytime.
Chen Shi and Jiang Cheng laughed for a while and were stunned for a while, unable to believe that this big courtyard belonged to their family.
I think their biggest dream last year was to buy a donkey and build a more dignified house in the village.
Now I have a house directly in the county seat, and it’s still so good, it’s really a dream that makes me wake up with a smile.
“Grandfather, the yard is spacious enough now, you can come and live in the county town.” Jiang Yunzhu said to Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen was really moved, but after hesitating for a while, he still said, “Forget it, I still live in the countryside, clean and tidy.”
Jiang Yunzhu couldn’t persuade him, so he had to give up.
“Which room do you want to live in?” Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming after everyone dispersed. Speaking of it, I really wronged him. In Changshi Village, he lived in a side room with Yang Sheng. When he arrived in the county, he still lived in a side room. This time the side house he lived in was demolished, and Jiang Yunzhu decided to give him a better salary no matter what.
By the way, he needs to make his house better.
Shen Fengming casually pointed to a room, “This is it.” That room happened to be next to Jiang Yunzhu’s room.
“Okay.” Jiang Yunzhu said, and pushed open the door of that room.
The house is empty, which is also suitable for Jiang Yunzhu to play.
“What style do you like?” she asked.
“Style?” Shen Fengming was puzzled.
“That is, what kind of room do you want to make, simple and practical, or elegant, or quiet? Or something else. Also, what color do you like?” Jiang Yunzhu turned her head and asked with a smile.
Shen Fengming never thought about this kind of problem, as long as his room can be lived in, he never cared about such things.
Looking at him like that, Jiang Yunzhu probably guessed something, and couldn’t help sighing that the life of this Commander Shen is actually quite rough.
She thought for a while, “Otherwise, I’ll make it for you. If you don’t like something, just tell me.”
“Okay.” Shen Fengming agreed.
The two went out together, first went to the silk and satin shop, and bought some cloth to make curtains, tablecloths, etc.
“How about this color?” Jiang Yunzhu asked while holding a piece of sky water blue material.
Shen Fengming nodded.
“What color is it?” A piece of maroon material.
“Don’t like this.”
“Well, what about this one?” A piece of autumn-scented material.
Shen Fengming shook his head.
Jiang Yunzhu wanted to put it down, but she really liked the color of this piece of material. Holding the material, she couldn’t help but asked again, “Is this piece really ugly?”
“As long as you think it’s good.” Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu didn’t want to force it anymore, but the words had already been spoken, so she said, “Otherwise, I’ll ask the store to make it, and you can see it then. If you like it, you can keep it. If you don’t like it, you can put it in my room.” ,How about it?”
“it is good.”
So happy to decide.
They were picking and choosing, and stared blankly at the shop owner and the guy next to him, mother, where did such two good-looking people come from! Listening to their conversation, it should be a pair of young lovers who are about to get married.
So when Jiang Yunzhu checked out, because she bought a lot, the store gave her a pair of pillowcases, with apricot white bottom and lotus flowers embroidered on them, exquisite workmanship, and looked very good.
Jiang Yunzhu thought it was just a random gift from the store, so she handed it to Shen Fengming. It happened that the pillowcase matched the color of his room very well.
Shen Fengming took the pillowcase, looked at her back, with a complicated expression, lotus, because there are many lotus seeds, it also means that there are many children…
Then the two went to the furniture store and picked out furniture. Then there was the pen and paper shop. Jiang Yunzhu discovered that Shen Fengming actually liked reading.
Just like that, the empty room became colorful little by little.
“How is it?” Jiang Yunzhu asked Shen Fengming when it was almost done.
Shen Fengming looked around, the room was elegant and fresh, and she had put her thought into every place.
“Thank you, Miss Jiang.” Shen Fengming’s eyes seemed to have crushed a piece of moonlight inside.
While helping Shen Fengming with the house, Jiang Yunzhu was actually not idle, and the various matters of the teahouse were also proceeding in an orderly manner. She estimated that in a few days, her teahouse would be able to open for business.
These days, people in Qishanju have been asking when will the paper-wrapped chicken and Buddha jump over the wall be sold.
In the end, Jiang Yunzhu simply made it clear to everyone that these two dishes were too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and she was not going to sell them.
Everyone just felt sorry.
“Boss, why aren’t these two dishes sold?” Xue Jing asked Jiang Yunzhu privately. Is it time-consuming? He thinks it’s okay.
“The cost of these two dishes is too high, and many people can’t afford them.” Jiang Yunzhu said. The paper-wrapped chicken is a little better, Buddha jumps over the wall, and all the materials are top-grade, and the jar costs more than a dozen taels of silver, which is not suitable for sale in the county.
Besides, the ingredients used in these two dishes can only be bought in Luzhou, which is too troublesome.
Xue Jing understood, “Boss, if we go to Luzhou, will we be able to sell these two dishes?” He laughed.
Jiang Yunzhu glanced at him, what are you going to Luzhou for?
Of course it is to open a restaurant, open a large restaurant, Xue Jing is doing things with a smile.
To open a teahouse, one must have high-quality tea. In this regard, Jiang Yunzhu has ordered a batch of good tea, which can be used only when the teahouse opens. Second, there are delicious snacks and snacks. Jiang Yunzhu is going to work harder on this.
In the past few days, she has thought of four or five kinds of snacks, but she always feels that there is something missing.
One day, she was flipping through the “Ben Xin Zhai Cookbook” that Shen Fengming had written silently for her, when someone outside said, “Is anyone there?”
At this time, the restaurant has not opened yet, so there should be no customers.
Jiang Yunzhu heard the voice familiar again, so she got up and went to check.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Hu Er.
“Boss Jiang?” Hu Er looked at Jiang Yunzhu, not daring to recognize him. Mainly, this mountain residence is beyond his imagination. The last time he sold hairtail and octopus to Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Yunzhu told him to have something fresh, and next time he would send it directly to Qishanju.
When he went back that time, he even inquired about Qishanju, but everyone said they hadn’t heard of it, so he thought Jiang Yunzhu was coaxing him.
As a result, this time he came back from selling things again, good guy, everyone is talking about Qishanju, how the owner of Qishanju won the famous chef from Luzhou, and how delicious the food of Qishanju is.
He came over today to take a look, this Qishanju, such a big storefront, is really amazing!
He also regarded the next door as a residence in the mountains, who made the decorations of the two different. But he is not wrong, anyway, these two are now owned by Jiang Yunzhu.
“Come back from the south? What new things did you bring back this time?” Jiang Yunzhu remembered Hu Er and asked immediately.
Hu Er really brought back a lot of things. After he came back, he planned to take these things to the market to sell. It’s just that after hearing the name of Qishanju, he immediately changed his mind and brought things directly to Jiang Yunzhu.
“Boss Jiang, look for yourself, just say what you want, it’s all cheap.” Hu Er said, walked to the carriage behind, lifted the oilcloth covering the carriage, and pointed out everything to Jiang Yunzhu .
There are really many things, the most eye-catching ones are those hams. The whole pig’s hind leg was marinated into a bright red color, which looked rosy and attractive.
Jiang Yunzhu moved closer, smelled the ham, and said pleasantly, “But it’s a three-year-old leg?”
Hu Er picked up his thumb, “Boss Jiang really knows what to buy. I heard that it takes more than three years for this to taste good. So I went to many places to buy these few pieces of high-quality ham.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Yunzhu said.
“It’s not hard.” Hu Er said with a smile, it’s all for life.
In addition to ham, there are bacon, cured fish, sausage, etc. These are meat and fruits. In this season, there are already fresh fruits in the south, but Hu Er is alone after all, and he can’t travel day and night, fearing that those fresh fruits will be spoiled. Instead of buying fresh fruit, I bought all kinds of dried fruit back.
And then…Jiang Yunzhu saw something, her heart skipped a beat, it was… She hurriedly grabbed a handful from the bottom of the car, and looked carefully, it was indeed the best moldy dried vegetables.
“How many of these things did you bring back?” She hurriedly asked Hu Er.
“It’s quite a lot?” Hu Er didn’t know why Jiang Yunzhu reacted so strongly. He bought this thing at the home of a fellow ham seller. At that time, he thought that this dish was cheap and could fill the gaps in the car, so he bought as much as he wanted.
Jiang Yunzhu was relieved. She wanted to open her teahouse before, and what to do to get off to a good start. Now she has an idea.
Crab shell biscuits! Thinking back when she came to Wuling County not long ago, she wanted to make this kind of sesame seed cake after eating the sesame seed cakes in the town. Unfortunately, she never had the opportunity and materials, but now she is ready.
Then came the price negotiation, Jiang Yunzhu almost ordered more than half of the things in the car. The hairtail and octopus I bought from Hu’s second-hand store last time have already been eaten, and she is worried that there are no new dishes in the store, so don’t worry about it now.
She wanted so much, she was a big customer, and she knew what she was doing, so Hu Er didn’t dare to make a wild quotation, and directly said a very fair price.
“Okay, let’s calculate the price according to what you said.” Jiang Yunzhu still expected him to go to the south to bring her goods again, thinking that the price he said was not too high, so she agreed immediately.
Hu Er was overjoyed and hurried to help her unload the goods.
At this time, Li He and Xue Jing also came out to help, they were busy for a while, and put away all the things.
Jiang Yunzhu handed the money to Hu Er and asked, “When are you going to the south again, can I order another batch of these moldy dried vegetables with you?”
Hu Er took the money, “Okay, I’ll sell the remaining things in the car, and I’ll start the journey. I guess it will only take two or three days!”
Jiang Yunzhu calculated the time, it should be about the same. This time, she directly paid Hu Er a deposit, telling him that next time he came back, he must bring her moldy dried vegetables, and all of them should be this good.
Hu Er left satisfied.
Jiang Yunzhu went straight to the blacksmith shop. She wanted to order an oven. With an oven, she would be able to cook a lot of delicious food in the future.
Six days later, the oven was ready and moved back to the store. The next day was also the opening day of Jiang Yunzhu Teahouse, just in time.
Let’s make an oven of biscuits first, just try this oven. Jiang Yunzhu acted immediately.
Take flour, first add hot water to make the noodles into wheat ears, then add cold water to knead the noodles into a smooth dough. This method of heating first and then cooling can make the dough more elastic.
At this time, take some lard and knead it into the noodles, so that the biscuit skin will be more crispy.
Then set the dough aside to rest.
At this time, the stuffing is made, the good pork belly is diced, the moldy dried vegetables are processed and chopped, and the two are mixed together, and then various seasonings are added, and the stuffing is ready.
Then make the pastry. After the pastry is ready, the dough is almost ready, and you can wrap it.
There are also skills when wrapping. Roll the dough into a rectangular shape, then roll it up, roll it out, and then wrap the stuffing. This will make the biscuit skin have many layers.
The finished sesame seed embryos are only the size of plums, flat ones, and look ugly.
That’s ok, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, pop them in the oven and it will make all the difference.
Knowing that Jiang Yunzhu made new food today, although everyone was busy, they looked at her from time to time, wondering what delicious food she was cooking again.
Soon, a special fragrance emerged from the oven, and the busy people couldn’t help sniffing.
After a while, the scent became stronger, Jiang Wu couldn’t help it, put down the book, and ran to Jiang Yunzhu’s side with two short legs, “Sister, what are you doing delicious?”
“Crab shell biscuits.” Jiang Yunzhu said.
“Is it biscuits made from crab shells?” Jiang Wu asked curiously. There are also crabs in the rivers of Wuling County. He has eaten those small river crabs before.
“You’ll know later.” Jiang Yunzhu said, checked the oven, felt that it was almost ready, and turned on the oven.
Immediately, a gust of hot air came blowing over with the aroma.
When the heat has dissipated, take the contents out of the oven. I saw plum-sized biscuits bulging and golden on the surface, but they were exactly the same as crab shells, no wonder they were called crab shell biscuits.
In fact, this sesame seed cake tastes like a baked crab shell, which is extremely crispy.
“Everyone come and taste it.” Jiang Yunzhu said, she wanted to know everyone’s reaction to this crab shell pancake.
Everyone had been waiting for her words. Hearing the words, they all rushed over at an incredible speed, and then looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. They seem to be running too fast? !
But soon no one cared about this problem, and everyone got a crab shell biscuit.
It’s so hot. The sesame seed cakes just came out of the pan. Everyone poured their left hands into their right hands, but no one was willing to put down the sesame seed cakes.
Take a quick bite.
“Don’t…” Jiang Yunzhu just wanted to remind everyone not to worry, but it was too late.
Everyone bit down, and they were all scalded by the hot air from the biscuits. This biscuit was actually empty in the middle.
Everyone gasped, but they still chewed the biscuits in their mouths.
The pork belly is overflowing with fat from the grill, and the rest is delicious. The dried mustard has a special sweet taste, coupled with a little chili flavor in the stuffing, the taste is absolutely amazing!
“It’s delicious, sister, I still want to eat it.” Jiang Wu stuffed a sesame seed cake into his mouth and said eagerly with his mouth puffed out.
Others felt the same way. This biscuit is really delicious. I really don’t know how Jiang Yunzhu made it.
Of course it is delicious. In history, two emperors were conquered by this kind of biscuits. Qianlong even called this kind of biscuits “Huangyin biscuits”. First, it looks a bit like Huangyin. Like degree.
Seeing them like this, Jiang Yunzhu was relieved. The teahouse opened tomorrow, and they could sell this kind of crab shell biscuits. A mouthful of biscuits, a mouthful of tea, Tao Xingzhi once said, “Eat it in your stomach, and enjoy boundless blessings together.”
