Chapter 171 (1/2)
The carriage took ye Jiayao to Tianju. Xia Chunyu told the steward Zhao to go to Datong to collect 80000 taels of silver. He also told Song Qi that he must ask his little grandmother to go home before dinner, and then he left on his own.
Ye Jiayao knows where he is going without guessing. In the morning, Xiaojing says that the military situation is not optimistic. He must have gone to find he Lianxuan.
If she can't manage the state affairs, she will manage the restaurants.
As the only chef in Tianju, Zhong Xiang has high hopes for him and opens the door for him. All the ingredients are provided by the restaurant. Deng Haichuan and Wang Mingde are responsible for most of the restaurant's work. These two people grow up very fast.
”How is Zhong Xiang's preparation going?” Ye Jiayao asked Deng Haichuan.
Deng Haichuan said: ”brother Xiang is very distressed. I don't know what to do. The second young grandmother asked him to make a new one, and his head almost broke.”
”Go and have a look.” Ye Jiayao goes to the kitchen.
Zhong Xiang and Wang Mingde are busy.
As soon as ye Jiayao entered, she smelled a strong fragrance, which seemed to be the fragrance of Buddha jumping over the wall.
”What are you doing?”
When Zhong Xiang saw ye Jiayao coming, he was overjoyed: ”second little grandma, I just made a bowl of cat ears. Wang Mingde made the soup. How about you taste it?”
Wang Mingde went to fill a bowl.
Cat's ear is a kind of pasta popular in Shanxi and Shaanxi. It looks like cat's ear, so it's called cat's ear. It's mostly used as staple food in the north, but it's usually used as a snack in the south.
Ye Jiayao tasted the noodles, but felt that the noodles were very stiff, and the taste was very delicious. She was sure that Wang Mingde's soup was based on the Buddha's jumping wall, integrating seafood, mountain delicacies and other ingredients. It was thick but not greasy, delicious and attractive, and did not make the guests dominate.
Wang Mingde is a talent!
”Are you made of Xiaomian?”
”Yes! Xiaomian is easy to knead and shape. ”
Ye Jiayao thought: ”your craft, shaping is not a problem, or use white flour, we Yangzhou area of white flour is the most delicate, sweet aftertaste.”
”But white flour is not strong enough.”
”You add some egg white in it.”
Zhong Xiang slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: ”yes, I didn't expect it. I'll try again later.”
”Well, how about this soup?” Zhong Xiang asked again.
Wang Mingde also looked at her expectantly.
Ye Jiayao laughed: ”Wang Mingde has made great progress! I can only say that the soup is perfect
Wang Mingde sheepishly smiles: ”second young grandmother, I learned from your Buddha jump wall, just changed some materials.”
”What did you change?” Ye Jiayao tasted it just now. It seems that he has gone to pig tripe, lamb elbow, hoof tip, tendon, chicken and duck gizzard. However, there is a smell of chicken and beef in the soup. There is no mutton.
”I used sea cucumber, scallop, beef tendon, sirloin, chicken breast, shredded meat, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, yam If you add pork tripe and chicken and duck gizzard, the flavor will be too strong to match the smell of cat's ears. ” Wang Mingde said.
Ye Jiayao sincerely praised: ”you think very well, the primary and secondary are clear, the green leaves are lined with red flowers, when the green leaves are also particular, you can't dominate. Wang Mingde, you are good at working hard to make a” as for cakes, your pea yellow is one of the best in Jinling, so do this. ”
This is Zhong Xiang's strong point, no problem at all.
”But there must be another one.”
”There is another way, I have to think, this one, we have to think that no one else will be the only one.”
In fact, ye Jiayao has an idea in her mind. She wants to make a cake, but she doesn't have an oven. She has to think about the tools.
”OK, I'll study the soup dumplings with Wang Mingde tonight.” Zhong Xiang is very convinced of Ye Jiayao. It must be right to listen to her.
From the kitchen, Zhao Guanshi also came back from Datong, and gave ye Jiayao 80, 000 liang of silver notes.
Ye Jiayao put it away and asked the steward Zhao to take the account.
As soon as you open the account book, ye Jiayao is frightened by the data above.
In the half month since she left, Tianju's business not only did not decline, but increased steadily. Autumn is over, there is no number one banquet, but each room is full.
Before, manager Zhao said that the daily profit of 6000, she thought there was exaggeration, but now it seems that there is only a lot more.
Nima, who makes nearly 200000 profits a month, feels heartache for Lao Li. I don't know how much money Chunyu spent on the restaurant.
Fortunately, she didn't know. If she did, she would spit blood.
Er, how can there be bookkeeping here? It's Chunyu's name. Isn't Chunyu eating at home these days? If you look forward, there are still several places. Roughly estimated, there are about 27800 taels.
”Steward Zhao, what's going on? Is the son of the earth entertained here? ” Ye Jiayao asked.
