The shop was bought from him by King Yang, but the name of the Yu family was written on the deed. A mere shop can let the Lengmian County King Feishen do it for them, which shows the status of the Yu family in the County King's heart. The magistrate Ning will naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends with him.
The magistrate personally came to congratulate him, Yu Hai was flattered, and respectfully invited Master Ning into the main hall in the backyard. Master Ning, the magistrate, saw the king of Yangjun sitting in the hall drinking tea with sharp eyes, and hurriedly went to see him. King Yang raised his eyebrows, as if he was surprised by his arrival, but it was only for a moment, and soon he recovered the cold expression of the ice face, and nodded slightly to the magistrate.
Even if he just nodded at him, Master Ning felt quite honored. Prince Yang's temperament is notoriously indifferent in Beijing. He seems to have nothing to do with everything around him on weekdays. When he sees his father, King Jing, he will at most give him a look.
If you offend him, he will absolutely deny you. I remember that when he was only twelve years old, he beat Prince Dingyuan Hou who somehow offended him until he was dying and almost died. At that time, Marquis Dingyuan was in the limelight in the court, and he sued him bitterly in front of the emperor.
The emperor asked him the reason for the beating, and he said harshly: "Ask Zhang Qingfeng himself! If he says he doesn't know, I will beat him until he knows!" Zhang Qingfeng is the name of the prince of Dingyuan.
After Dingyuanhou's son got better, Dingyuanhou once asked him how he offended this evil star. Prince Dingyuan Hou was afraid of being beaten, so he honestly confessed that he was afraid that the 12-year-old Yangjun King would show his face in the martial arts competition organized by the emperor, so he wanted to blackmail him before the martial arts competition, creating an accident and letting him participate no...
The 12-year-old Zhu Junyang has already shown extraordinary talent in martial arts, and he can almost be said to be invincible against the children of the rich and powerful in Beijing. The most important reason why the children of the rich and powerful dare not fight with him is that he is reckless in fights, and he is even more ruthless to his opponents and himself. Won the title of "Black-faced God" at a young age!
It seems that it is a bit far away, the magistrate Ning sat down respectfully at the lower head of King Yang, and held up a small stone to give him the fragrant tea. He glanced at the cup of the king of Yangjun, and was shocked to find that the cup of the prince of the county turned out to be white water. He hurriedly brought the mellow tea in his hand to King Yang, and said softly: "This cup of Mingqian Longjing is quite fragrant, Prince, would you like to try it?"
Zhu Junyang glanced at the cup of tea, and thought: Don't you know that it is Mingqian Longjing? This tea is still stolen by that girl from my master! For some unknown reason, he drank Yu's boiled water, which tasted better than the top Dahongpao in the palace. At Yu's house, he only recognized boiled water.
"My lord likes to drink clear water!" Lord Ning is from Prince Jing's mansion, Zhu Junyang looked at his father's face, and reluctantly replied him.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it was enough to surprise Mr. Ning. The king of Yangjun always treated his father with an indifferent attitude, it is indeed commendable to be able to answer him a word! Master Ning remembered: King Yang likes to drink plain water, not tea. Many years later, Master Ning, who is already a member of the second rank, had the honor to invite Zhu Junyang, who is already a prince, as a guest, and what he presented was a glass of white water...
"Prince Xiaojun, lord magistrate, this is a snack made by a commoner girl. You should try it. Please forgive me for the poor reception!" Yu Xiaocao would be more at ease if she was only in front of King Yang, but there is more to see. She seemed a little reserved for the majestic magistrate.
Zhu Junyang took a look at the biscuits with weird shapes and the cake cut into triangles, then he took a piece of biscuit, he didn't know whether it was round or oval, and chewed it in his mouth. Although it looks horrible, it tastes good, crispy and sweet, and has an excellent taste.
"Is the auspicious time coming soon?" Zhu Junyang asked after eating a piece of biscuit and drinking his saliva.
Yu Xiaocao nodded, the dimples on her lips were faintly visible: "There is still less than two quarters of an hour, there is still some time, the two adults will rest for a while..."
Zhu Junyang nodded silently, and said after a while: "Later, Master Ning will unveil the plaque for your shop together..."
The astonishment on Ning Zhifu's face flashed away, and was immediately replaced by surprise. He was about to say a few words of humility, but was stopped by the look of Yangjun Wang. Ning Zhifu sighed in his heart: After these two years of experience, King Yang's eyes are even sharper than King Jing's, which makes people unable to refute.
Yu Xiaocao knew the reason why the county magistrate was not as good as the current one. The king of Yangjun brought the magistrate by the way, in order to find a backer for Yuji Braised Vegetables Restaurant. The future business of the stewed vegetable shop will definitely not be bad, Yu Xiaocao is confident of this. If the Yu family didn't have a backstage in Fucheng, a good business might not necessarily be a blessing, but it might cause trouble or even disaster. If the magistrate can personally unveil a plaque for their small shop, those who have ulterior motives will have to think carefully before making a move.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at King Yang gratefully, and said, "It's a great honor for the shop to have the magistrate reveal the plaque. I wonder if it's convenient for the magistrate?"
The king of Yangjun has agreed to unveil the plaque for the stewed vegetable shop, and the magistrate Ning's government has to be convenient no matter how inconvenient it is. Ning Zhifu hurriedly said: "Where is it! It's nothing to do with a little effort!"
When a long string of firecrackers was lit, King Yang and the prefect appeared in front of the store. Among the people onlookers, not many knew the King of Yangjun, but there were very few people in Fucheng who didn't know the prefect Qingtian. Seeing that the magistrate personally helped the stewed vegetables shop remove the red cloth from the plaque, and when the words "Yu Ji stewed vegetables shop" appeared in front of everyone in gold, after a moment of silence, there was warm applause.
Among the crowd, there was a burst of whispering—
"What's the origin of Yuji Braised Vegetables Shop? Can you invite the magistrate to unveil the plaque for them."
"I heard that this store was originally owned by the magistrate, who was engaged in silk and satin business. In the spring, it suddenly closed, and it was refurbished half a year later, and opened this stewed vegetable shop. Could it be that the silk and satin business paid for money, so the magistrate Re-open this stewed vegetables shop?"
"I don't think so. I heard from the family next door that the yard was sold in the spring. The yard and the shop are in such a good location. Even if the silk and satin shop doesn't make money, it can make a lot of money every month if it is closed and rented out." Income... ”
"Could it be that an official bigger than the magistrate, took a fancy to this yard and bought it? Look at the man who unveiled the plaque with the magistrate, and he looks like he is not from an ordinary family. Also, The magistrate is so polite to him, is he the real owner of this shop?"
"No matter what the reason is, this shop has the prefect and this unknown nobleman as backers. No wonder Wang Laizi's wife came to make trouble yesterday. The little girl has no stage fright at all, and she asked the magistrate to judge..."
…
The onlookers had different opinions, and everyone believed that the shop had the magistrate as its backer, and it was beyond the reach of ordinary people. In Fucheng, some people who were interested in the Yu family's stewed vegetables recipe also quietly took a rest.
Next, some officials from Fucheng, although they had nothing to do with the Yu family, for the sake of the prefect, also came to congratulate him. At noon, with the prefect and these officials present, it is impossible to deal with them casually in the backyard. As for King Yang, despite his high status, under the shabby conditions of the old house in Dongshan Village, he never landed for a day, and the Yu family didn't treat him as an outsider.
Lunch was set at the Zhenxiu Restaurant, and Yu Xiaocao ordered a large table of delicacies, many of which were sold in limited quantities every day. The magistrate and other guests who came to congratulate him were secretly surprised. Although Zhenxiu Restaurant in Fucheng is a new restaurant that just opened this spring, everyone in Fucheng knows how popular it is. Now private rooms like this are reserved for a month later.
What is the background of the Yu family, that they can get a private room at any time, and order limited dishes? This kind of treatment, not to mention the magistrate, there are so many rich and powerful families in Beijing, and the Zhenxiu Restaurant in the capital does not have this privilege. If you want to have a meal at the famous Zhenxiu Restaurant, even the royal relatives have to make an appointment and wait in line honestly!
Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, the meal was still a joy for the host and guest. Especially after learning that the person sitting in the main seat is actually the King of Yangjun who has been in the limelight for the past two years, the attitude of the officials is even more enthusiastic and earnest. Later, Yu Hai, who was a little nervous to sit with him during the banquet, was gradually forgotten.
On the first day of Yuji Braised Vegetables Restaurant's opening, it became famous in Fucheng, and at the same time gained a protective umbrella. Even if the business of the Braised Vegetables Restaurant is about to catch up with Zhenxiu Restaurant in the days to come, no one dares to come here to find trouble. Just kidding, who in Fucheng doesn't know that Yuji Braised Vegetables Shop has the magistrate as the backer, and the shop is diagonally opposite the magistrate's yamen, so they come to make trouble? You think your life is too long, right
Within three days of opening, all braised vegetables are half price! The common people who participated in the tasting activity yesterday were live advertisements for the stewed vegetable shop. The meat in the stewed vegetable shop is delicious. The vegetarian dishes in the stewed vegetable shop are better than meat.
In addition, Yu Xiaocao built a tin stove at the door, on which stewed pig's head meat and pig offal... The strong smell of meat filled the whole street, and almost every commoner who passed by smelled the smell. Stop and look for the source.
In the past three days since its opening, the braised vegetables shop has seen a boom in business. Yu Xiaocao and Auntie were too busy, so they called Liu Junping and Liu Yan'er to help. Liu Hu and Yu Hai are in charge of the transportation of ingredients, and travel between Dongshan Village and Fucheng every day.
Even at half price, on the first day of opening, the turnover reached more than 300 taels, and the cost of going out made a net profit of more than 100 taels. On the second and third days, the turnover was on the rise, reaching an income of more than 500 taels and more than 600 taels. Two pigs a day were not enough to sell.
The fastest sellers are relatively cheap pig's head and pig's offal, as well as some vegetarian dishes such as dried stewed tofu, kelp and tofu skin. It takes three or four pots of marinade every day to be able to sell. The pot is not the kind of small pot that ordinary people eat, but a large iron pot that can supply the meals of a dozen or twenty adults.
