"Come on! You think I'm so easy to deceive! The customers who come to our medicated food shop have nothing to do with your Zhenxiu restaurant. Most of the people who come to our medicated food shop mainly focus on recuperating the body. Who is so rich, for the sake of food and drink? If you want to taste the dishes of one hundred taels of silver at every turn? Therefore, there are very few people who come to the Herbal Food Shop purely for the purpose of eating and gathering! It will not have any impact on your Zhenxiu restaurant business, okay?" Yu Xiao It is justified and well-founded, and we don't accept Zhou Shao's miserable selling.
On Wednesday, Shao Shao wanted to dig some new recipes from Xiaocao through the strategy of mourning soldiers, and the plan was aborted. Based on his relationship with Xiaocao, he stopped beating around the bush and directly explained his intentions. Xiaocao also generously gave him some recipes for cooking. How to put it, she can be regarded as a shareholder of Zhenxiu Restaurant now, and the annual dividends are also very considerable by investing in recipes!
The business of Yaoshanfang is getting more and more prosperous, whether it is in-store or take-out, the supply is in short supply. Of those veterans and ministers who fought with the Supreme Emperor, who didn't have any old illnesses or injuries? I saw a doctor before, and the medicine prescribed was too bitter to swallow, and it had little effect, and it only cured the symptoms but not the root cause.
Since the opening of the medicated food workshop of "Yu Ji", those filial sons and grandchildren who have tried their best to prepare medicated food for the elderly at home have seen their grandfather (father) getting stronger every day, even if the old diseases before winter are gone. Recurrence, I was happy and at the same time, I also helped Yaoshanfang to do free publicity.
One pass ten, ten pass one hundred. At this time, filial piety is still more important, but as long as the family's conditions permit, I don't mind spending a lot of money to order medicinal meals for the elders to recuperate the body. Women in this era will more or less suffer from confinement diseases due to childbirth, or have problems with insufficient energy and blood, or problems with menstrual periods. Therefore, Xiaocao's medicinal diet for women's physique is in short supply.
After the New Year, in response to the requirements of the majority of customers, the business of the Herbal Food Shop has expanded a lot. The takeaway service is separated out separately, and the business is even better than that of the store. The human resources that Xiao Prairie reserved earlier are all used up now, and there are still some manpower shortages. Yang Liu began to train a group of medicated dietitians for use.
Because the salary is linked to the quantity and quality of the prepared medicinal food, the business of the medicinal food shop is so booming. Although the medicinal diet teachers are a bit tired, they all smile when they receive their salary. The most, I received nearly 800 taels of silver a month, and I couldn't find a higher monthly salary than this in the entire capital. It is said that even Fatty Wang, the chief chef who has dedicated nearly ten years in Zhenxiu Restaurant, only earns five hundred taels a month.
The medicated dietitians in the medicated diet workshop have only been working for half a year, and the salary is so high, the enthusiasm for work is even higher, and they try their best to show themselves in front of Yang Liu, for fear that they are not working hard enough and will be replaced by the reserve medicated dietitian .
Such a hot business will naturally make many people jealous. But they were just hot-eyed and talking behind their backs. The background of "Yu Ji" is too strong, and it is not easy for anyone to offend. Not to mention that the owner behind Yu Ji is a princess personally appointed by the emperor, but her identity as the future wife of the king of Yangjun, no matter how powerful and mixed the dandy in the capital, would not dare to provoke her, for fear that the king of Yangjun would come back Settle accounts with them!
Regardless of the backer of King Yangjun, I come to the Herbal Food Shop from time to time to have a meal with the "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" Taishanghuang; I have specially reserved an elegant room in the Herbal Food Shop, and regard the Medicinal Food Shop as the king of my own kitchen; The emperor and empress who came to the Herbal Food Workshop for the Teeth Ceremony... These are all heavyweights, stomping their feet will make the whole country tremble, with them supporting Yu Ji, no matter how jealous others are, they have to lie down honestly.
Yu Xiaocao really experienced the feeling of "counting money until your hands cramp". In Beijing, Xiaocao Duoduo is a little rich woman. The richest man dare not say, if there is a rich list in Beijing, she will definitely be in the top ten. Other wealthy people have accumulated backgrounds accumulated over generations, but she has created the myth of Beijing-China business by her own strength. Yu Xiaocao's reputation has spread far and wide, everyone from the middle of the capital, from an 80-year-old man to a five-year-old child, knows her.
Unknowingly, a year has passed by. The battle at the northwest frontier is also coming to an end. The Ming army led by King Yang has driven all the western borders to the vicinity of Kazakhstan, and they no longer have the ability to challenge Daming. For at least the next thirty years, there will be no major battles in the northwest frontier.
Now that the war is coming to an end, the day when Yangjun Wang's class teacher returns to the court is not far away. For more than a year, the Yu family had many happy events. First of all, the youngest son of the Yu family won the first prize in the provincial examination and won the title of Jieyuan. This little boy who was only fifteen years old became the first master in the history of Dongshan Village. This was not only a happy event for the Yu family, but also a great event for the entire village.
Then there is the marriage of Big Brother Xiaocao. In the spring when Yu Hang was nineteen years old, he married Liu Huifang who had been engaged for many years. The marriage was done at Yu's ancestral home in Dongshan Village. This was the first happy event for the younger generation of the Yu family, and it was held in a grand manner. Officials, gentry, wealthy merchants, and customers who had business dealings with the Yu family all came to congratulate them.
In Beijing, even the prince of Prince Jing's mansion visited Tanggu in person to make a face for his future in-laws. There are also many families who have a good relationship with Yu Xiaocao, and they also sent people to bring valuable gifts to congratulate the future head of the Yu family on their wedding.
The wedding banquet was held at Zhenxiu Restaurant in Tanggu. Zhenxiu Restaurant is now the only one in Tang Gu's family, and its scale has expanded a lot. There are many guests from Yu's family, so it will be able to accommodate them.
Yu Hang's wedding banquet caused quite a stir in the entire Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to see clearly the "mud-legged" Yu family. The Yu family is countable in Tanggu, whether it is in terms of connections, financial resources, or material resources. Many established families who originally looked down on the Yu family and thought they were just upstarts have gradually shown their favor to the Yu family and regarded them as people worth making friends with.
The relatives of the Yu family also came to Dongshan Village early to help arrange the first happy event for the younger generation of the Yu family. The bodies of Xiaocao’s grandparents were fed with the health supplements that Xiaocao sent over. They are almost seventy years old, and their bodies are stronger than those in the village who are over fifty. There is nothing wrong with them. They can walk from home to Dongshan Village in one breath. , without rest.
The three Liu family brothers traveled between Fucheng and nearby prefectures and counties, delivering goods to various vegetable and fruit shops. Early-maturing vegetables in early spring, watermelons and cantaloupes in late spring and early summer, various fruits in autumn, out-of-season fruits and vegetables in winter... all the year round, there is rarely idle time.
In the beginning, the eldest uncle of the Liu family was responsible for transportation, the second uncle who was farming at home occasionally helped out, and the third uncle was doing port construction work. Later, the uncle of the Liu family made a lot of money, and when he was gradually overwhelmed, the second uncle saw that the delivery and sales business brought in more money than he could earn from farming at home. I also ran a few times, opened up a new route, brought a few carriages, and followed suit.
Later, when the port was built, the third uncle could only take on some scattered jobs, and became the least earner in the family. The uncle invited him to do business in Fucheng and surrounding counties. In fact, what they do is similar to the wholesale trading of fruits and vegetables in later generations.
Yu's fruits and vegetables and out-of-season vegetables are of high quality and taste great, so they are naturally popular! It's not just anyone who wants to buy it can get it! The three brothers of the Liu family have the advantage that they can get unlimited goods, so the vegetable and fruit shops in Fucheng and surrounding counties let them deliver the goods for peace of mind. Although it costs 20% more travel expenses than getting the goods from Yu's house, there is still a profit.
Xiaocao's aunt, in order to attend her eldest nephew's wedding, handed over several lo-mei and pickle shops in Fucheng to her shopkeepers, and returned to Dongshan Village early to help. Although the name of the stewed vegetable shop has always been "Yu Ji", it has now become the property of Aunt Yu's family. The stewed vegetables and pickles shops are doing very well, and several branches have been opened in Fucheng, and the business is booming.
On the day of the wedding, an unexpected relative and friend appeared, that is Yu Hang's uncle Yu Bo. Since moving to Fucheng, Yu Bo has changed from his former impetuousness. After studying hard for three years, he finally got admitted as a scholar as he wished. Relying on the wholesale of braised vegetables from Yuji, Mrs. Zhang supported a large family, and even had spare money to buy more than ten acres of land in the suburbs of Fucheng, and leased it to farmers who did not have land.
Yu Bo clearly realized that with his own talent, he had already reached the top of the examination, so he would forget about being a candidate, so he opened a small private school in the south of the city to educate children and earn a meager income.
Yu Bo and Mrs. Zhang have not appeared in the sight of the Yu family for a long time. At this time, he came to attend Yu Hang's wedding with a gift, and surprised the Yu family, who warmly entertained him. Yu Bo was a bit selfish at the beginning, but he didn't do any harm to Yu Hai's family. His biggest mistake was just having Zhang as his mother.
Not long after Yu Hang's marriage, Zhuang Xiaomo prepared a great gift and solemnly proposed to the Yu family to marry the little green girl Yu Xiaolian. Yu Xiaolian and Zhuang Xiaomo's marriage was scheduled in early winter. At this time, Zhuang Xiaomo was no longer in the business of selling vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, but took over the business of seafood supply from major restaurants in Beijing and central China.
In the beginning, it was because of the hot sale of the signature "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" in "Yu Ji Medicinal Cuisine Workshop", which required a large supply of seafood, so I was looking for someone else, so it was better to give it to Zhuang Xiaomo, the future son-in-law of the Yu family.
Zhuang Xiaomo has been doing business in Tanggu for several years, and he knows a lot of people, and has accumulated a certain amount of contacts. In addition, when I went fishing for seafood in the past, I also made a few friends in the sea market, and the road is relatively wide. Therefore, the seafood he purchased is the freshest and top-quality in the whole market.
Young Master Wednesday learned of this by accident, and also handed over the supply of seafood in Zhenxiu Restaurant to him. Gradually, word of mouth of Zhuang Xiaomo's seafood business came out, and many restaurants in central Beijing contacted him, willing to cooperate with him. After a year and a half, Zhuang Xiaomo, who is in his early twenties, has become the largest seafood supplier in central Beijing.
