It’s the coldest month of winter, and it’s only half a month before the Chinese New Year. At this time, basically many shops are closed. After all, the weather is cold, and many people don’t want to go out.
But this has little to do with Beijing.
Even the people in the west city are willing to take a walk in the streets at this time. Land and water transportation have stopped now, and they have to wait for the spring to continue, so now it is rare to have free time to go out for a stroll.
So many people went to Dongcheng after strolling around.
Su's home cooking restaurant in Dongcheng.
With this name, one must know who opened it, after all, Su Tang's reputation is too great.
Today is the first day of Su's Home Cooking Restaurant's opening, and even though it hasn't opened yet, there is already a queue outside the restaurant.
What's more, there are servants from various families in the capital queuing up, and these dignitaries are in a hurry to come and taste the food in Su Tang Restaurant.
After all, the previous Xicheng restaurant was a big pot dish, and some people disliked it.
But this kind of restaurant is different, it is a serious restaurant.
So everyone is willing to come.
And this is Su Tang's craftsmanship!
Many people in Xicheng were amazed, but they still felt that the sugar in Xicheng was very good.
They didn't go in to eat. Although this is a home-cooked restaurant, it is still more expensive than Xicheng.
They're just here to join in the fun.
Su Tang is also priced according to the price of Dongcheng, along with the prices of the surrounding restaurants.
In fact, you must be cheap and affordable, which is also possible, but it will affect other people's business.
Just like maliciously lowering the price of vegetables, it is bad competition.
But Sutang will try its best to let customers eat the whole thing within its own price, and it will live up to the name of the home-cooked restaurant.
The store has not yet opened, Su Tang is preparing dishes in the back kitchen, Li Fan in the front is taking care of it clearly, and Xiaoxiu Cai has no problem at all in settling accounts.
Everything is waiting to open.
But Su Tang always felt embarrassed looking at Qi Tianyun.
It's not that I'm sorry for Qi Tianyun, but I'm sorry for the people in the back kitchen.
I am busy here, Qi Tianyun must follow.
It's okay for her to be used to seeing Lord Hou, but she hasn't seen these people very much, so it's inevitable that she will be frightened.
If it wasn't the first day of business today, if she had to cook, she would definitely have left with Qi Tianyun.
But on the first day of business, how could her boss not be there.
Su Tang persuaded: "Do you want to go back to the back room? I can't cook a few dishes, so it will be over soon."
Qi Tianyun raised his eyebrows: "No."
?
The people in the kitchen next to him couldn't help but listen. Master Hou is too clingy, and he likes his fiancée too much, so he has to follow
There are quite a few women in their back kitchen, probably not to avoid suspicion.
Su Tang had no choice but to say: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Be the first customer." Qi Tianyun was confident, "I'm here anyway, so it's okay to be the first customer?"
People around almost laughed out loud.
Oh my god, Hou Ye, if you want to eat the dishes made by the owner, just say so, why are you beating around the bush like this!
Seeing him like this, Su Tang said in order to send him away quickly, "Then you go quickly, I will make it for you."
Su Tang pushed him out of the back kitchen, and asked his younger brother to follow Qi Tianyun, don't let him disturb him to earn money again.
Man, it will only affect the speed at which she makes money.
When these are cleaned up, the auspicious time will come.
Su Tang arrived at the door and was about to light the firecrackers when she saw Qi Tianyun standing beside her again.
Good guy, she cuts the ribbon in a home-cooked restaurant, as for this!
Master Hou came to join us? !
Many of the guests who rushed to eat knew Lord Hou, so they almost saluted directly.
Fortunately, Qi Tianyun was very obedient this time.
After the ribbon cutting was over and the firecrackers were set off, he went straight back to the box, waiting for Su Tang here.
But Qi Tianyun's guards didn't leave, they were obviously looking after the restaurant for Su Tang, if someone dares to cause trouble, then we have to weigh it, whether they are more powerful than Marquis Weiyuan.
The guests followed into the restaurant, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a sign hanging in the lobby.
They all know that word!
It was Su Tang who won the first place in the God of Cooking Contest, a handwriting written by the emperor's royal pen!
No. 1 in the world!
This means that cooking with Su Tang is the most delicious in the world!
Unexpectedly, Su Tang was really framed and hung on the wall.
Don't talk about it, as long as this writing is here, no one will dare to find fault with it. Well, this is written by the emperor!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Tang knew he was right!
Some people have also said that it is actually better to hang it in a private restaurant, but Su Tang thinks that if you go to a private restaurant to eat in the future, you probably have seen the emperor's words, so it is better to put it in a restaurant that is more popular.
What's this.
This is noodles!
It looks good now.
Customers are all looking at this restaurant, the decoration inside is very nice and elegantly arranged.
But the strange thing is, didn't Su Tang keep saying that this is an ordinary restaurant, is this what an ordinary restaurant should look like
Huang Yuetong and Zhu Jinyuan also came over, and they also brought Jing Liang and Li Chun together, obviously to support Su Tang.
The last time they went to Xicheng Restaurant to join in the show, there were no guests coming in at first.
But this time it's completely different, Huang Yuetong's servants line up ahead of time, so they have a place.
One must know that it took only half a year for Su Tang to become so powerful.
They were all witnesses to Su Tang's miracle from scratch.
Su Tang didn't have time to talk with everyone, but went to the back kitchen to cook. First of all, there were four dishes and one soup, specially made for Qi Tianyun.
If he wasn't the first customer in his restaurant, he would definitely not let this matter go.
He was such a generous man before, why is he so narrow-minded now.
Tsk tsk, is this the jealousy of men
Just after cooking for Qi Tianyun, the snowflake-like menu immediately floated to the back kitchen.
Fortunately, the guys are all well-trained. Faced with such a busy scene, they don't panic at all. They order food, give the menu to the back kitchen, pour tea, and wait for the food to be served.
Everything seems to be in order, and many people are still boasting.
Many restaurants were in a hurry when they first opened, but Su Tang's restaurant was different.
Anyway, waiting for the food is waiting, many people asked, and only then did they know that they were all from another restaurant of Su Tang.
Seeing these young men are all in high spirits and have good eyesight in doing things.
It is enough for several people to go to work elsewhere as stewards.
Perhaps what everyone didn't expect was that some customers came over and hadn't eaten the food yet. They first took aim at the guys trained by Su Tang, and wanted to lure them to work as managers in his shop.
Afterwards, these people specifically talked to Su Tang about this matter and asked her if she would like to part with her.
Su Tang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and just said that the guys are willing.
If they are willing to be stewards, of course Su Tang will not stop them. After all, stewards are much more respectable than buddies, and they will have more monthly money in the future.
For a long period of time, if many shops needed management, they would come to Su Tang Restaurant to find out.
But that's another story.
But this is enough to prove how powerful Su Tang's methods of cultivating people are.
When these words were praised in front of Su Tang, Su Tang was still in a daze, why did she cultivate people
She didn't do anything, did she
Enabling the guys to read and write is also convenient for the restaurant to do things.
Now Su Tang doesn't need to think so much, she just needs to cook well.
The back kitchen was bustling, Su Tang's movements were neat, and the cooking was crisp and neat. The other chefs were not far behind, and the entire back kitchen was operating very reasonably.
It only took a little while to run in, and everyone has a tacit understanding.
But everyone felt that the orders were endless.
Basically, I can't even catch my breath, so I have to continue to cook the next dish.
They are not so busy at Xicheng Restaurant.
Su Tang asked someone to take the plates, and saw the cooks crying and saying: "Master, there are only a few dishes left, what should I do?"
What
Out of dishes? ?
Su Tang remembered that he had bought a lot in advance, and it was more than the demand of ordinary restaurants.
Why is it gone.
The aunts in the back kitchen were already hurrying to wash the dishes, but it was too late.
It seems that the guests in front can't finish eating.
Su Tang had no choice but to wipe her hands, and looked forward, not knowing if she didn't look.
Li Fan, who has been in charge for a long time, is helping to order food. The guests are still queuing up, and he has to maintain order.
This is too difficult.
When her Xicheng restaurant first opened, did it have such a good business
Why can't she remember.
Now that the weather is so cold, everyone is rushing out to eat, aren't they afraid of freezing!
And look at everyone's table, each table has ordered a lot of dishes, no wonder there are not enough plates!
Forget it, wait for the aunts to wash out the dishes.
Su Tang asked someone to instruct, even if you are in a hurry to use the bowls and chopsticks, you should brush them carefully. It's cold, let the aunts use hot water to brush, so as not to freeze your hands.
Su Tang walked around upstairs and downstairs, and saw that everyone was eating happily, so she was relieved.
As soon as she was about to find Qi Tianyun, she heard the customers talking.
"Which dish do you think is fried with sugar?"
"I don't know, I feel that every dish tastes the same, but they are all delicious."
"That's right, even if it's not for Su Tang, I'll come over to eat it in the future."
"We ordered two more dishes, hoping that there would be stir-fried sugar in them."
The guests at their table were talking when they heard the neighbor shouting.
"This! It must be this!"
"That's right, my God, it's really delicious. Why can she make it so delicious with the same ingredients?"
"I have never eaten such delicious chili fried pork."
"I heard that there is this dish in her new cookbook. When the recipe comes out, I will definitely learn it."
"Don't grab it, leave me a bite."
The people at the next table also came to join in the fun, wanting to have a taste of everything.
Such a scene made Su Tang dumbfounded. No wonder every table ordered a lot of dishes. They wanted to try what she made, but they didn't know which one was made by her, so just try their luck
Su Tang could only sneak away. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the food, not on her.
Otherwise, maybe they will be dragged to cook a few dishes before leaving
Su Tang looked at the endless stream of customers, counted the ingredients he bought, found Li Fan, and asked him to start limiting the number of people.
I never imagined that their homely teahouse would limit the number of people, what is the matter.
But there are so many guests.
Li Fan wiped the sweat from his brow: "Boss, the guests here are even more exaggerated than in Xicheng. Although there are more people in Xicheng, they all have almost the same food, but it is obviously more complicated here."
They were standing by the counter talking, and the little scholar who was keeping accounts said, "Not only that, but the money will also double. In just a short while, it has already surpassed the income of Xicheng Restaurant for a day."
It's only noon, and when the evening is over, the income will only be higher.
Su Tang realized that he had underestimated the spending power of the people in the capital.
Her food is not very cheap, but everyone is willing to pay for delicious food, what kind of spirit is this.
The spirit of foodies.
But Su Tang thought about her past, if she could buy better food with a little more money, would she buy it
The answer is.
For sure!
Buy it now!
Is there any reason to hesitate? ?
Buy buy buy.
Su Tang ordered a few more words, and asked the little scholar: "Is your mother okay, has she had lunch yet?"
The little scholar nodded: "Just before the opening of the business, I delivered a meal there, don't worry about it, my boss."
"Well, I'll recruit another person for you later, or it will delay your study." Su Tang said, "Study is more important."
They were talking here, and they happened to hear a person's ear.
As soon as Su Tang raised her head, she also knew this person, Shi Yuanhu and Shi Fuzi from Confucian Academy.
"Miss Su Tang is right. Reading is more important." The master looked at the little scholar, saw his beautiful handwriting, and asked casually, "How old are you this year? Are you a scholar? Why don't you study hard?"
Shi Yuanhu asked the boy to come over to pay the bill, so he just chatted with someone he knew.
The little scholar cupped his hands: "My name is Meng Han, and I am the accountant here. I am sixteen this year and I have been admitted as a scholar. But my family is poor and my mother is not in good health. Only I can come out and work."
Shi Yuanhu didn't expect that the half-grown child in front of him had already been admitted as a scholar. He felt a little admired, and said a few more words: "It's right to listen to your boss, study more seriously."
After Shi Yuanhu left, Meng Han looked at his boss curiously.
Su Tang whispered: "He is the master of the Confucian Academy, the master of Shi Yuanhu."
! ! !
Meng Han was shocked, he had heard of the teacher, and he was a famous teacher in the whole country of Qin.
You were talking to him just now
God, what an honor.
But in the future, Meng Han often saw this master and his family come over for dinner.
The master also loves talent, Meng Han asked him for advice, and there was nothing wrong with it, and he even helped Meng Han read the article.
Su Tang asked Meng Han to calm down, and this time he really went to find Qi Tianyun.
But as soon as he entered the door, he saw a carefree Shi Ding sitting in the room.
Shi Ding was not polite at all, and immediately asked: "Su Tang, do you still have the meatballs you made last time? My father likes them very much. It would be even better if you can marinate some beef."
?
But this is not a big deal, Su Tang said: "When I finish my work recently, I will definitely do it for you."
"Okay, make more, old-fashioned stuff." After Shi Ding finished speaking, he waited for Qi Tianyun to stare at him.
But the three of them have a good relationship now, so naturally they don't care about these.
Hearing the bustling voices outside, Shi Ding thought, this is money!
Su Tang is like a golden baby, making money in everything she does.
As for the guests outside, they don't care about money at this time.
Rather, they are attracted by the delicious food here.
The exquisite stir-fried dishes are indeed more delicious than the boxed lunches at Xicheng Restaurant.
This is for sure, the dishes in the box lunch are all fried together in a big pot, so it is inevitable that they will be rough.
But it's different here, every dish is fried in the same pot, the taste must be better, and the heat and seasoning will be easier to control.
I don't know how Su Tang still makes it. The taste of the food here makes your mouth water. Even the steamed rice tastes better than others.
If you want to talk about big fish and big meat, it's not true, but it's very delicious and delicious.
If conditions permit, they can eat in this restaurant every day!
Thousands of words, in the end I can only say that it is indeed a restaurant opened by Su Tang, it is attractive.
And it attracts repeat customers, which is really important for restaurants.
The news that Su Tang's newly opened restaurant was very popular came quickly.
Some people were waiting to see the joke before, thinking, Su Tang can't do everything well.
It is impossible to open any store and make money in any store.
There will always be times when you miss, from the early shop, to the trendy box lunch, and the tall Dreamland Pavilion.
It seems that no shop is very profitable.
As long as an ordinary person has a well-opened store, it will be enough for a lifetime.
But she still has to keep working hard.
Some people with gloomy hearts thought that Su Tang would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Dongcheng, but they could look at other people and see the business of their home-cooked restaurants.
If the business is booming on the first day of opening, it is because everyone loves to join in the fun.
But the second day and the third day continued to be hot, which was shocking.
Every restaurant has bad business, but how can the business of Su's Home Cooking Restaurant keep doing well
This is not normal at all.
People who don't believe in evil went to taste the food inside, and only then did they know why.
No wonder so many people cried and shouted for Su Tang to open the shop quickly, it turned out to be the reason, who made Su Tang cook really delicious food!
Seeing their popularity, many restaurants of the same type can only shake their heads. To be honest, they have also tasted the food inside, and they were lucky enough to taste the one made of Su Tang. It is really extraordinary.
Besides, facing the emperor in the restaurant and writing the number one in the world, this has already surpassed many people.
Envious
Then you go to win the first place in the God of Cooking competition!
The business in their shop is so good, and the guys in Xicheng Restaurant are eager to see it.
Box lunches are mainly sold to hawkers at the wharf or land transportation.
Now the weather is cold and everyone is closed, and their business has dropped a lot all of a sudden.
The owner knew about this, and even told Xicheng Restaurant to close immediately, and everyone would take the annual leave to rest, after all, they have been busy for a whole year.
After saying this, everyone was very happy at the beginning, because according to what the boss said, they have annual leave, no deductions from wages, and monthly payments as usual.
Who doesn't like to rest.
But I don't know what happened, and I don't know who passed it on.
It is said that Su's Home Cooking Restaurant has just opened for an hour, and its income is more than that of Xicheng Restaurant in a day.
What else to say, there are so many guys in Xicheng Restaurant who help cook, but the money they earn is not as good as that of a home-cooked restaurant. It is estimated that Su Tang will close Xicheng Restaurant.
If you raise so many people, but you can't get the corresponding benefits, you definitely don't want to do it.
This made the staff of Xicheng Restaurant, who were happily preparing for the holiday, panicked the help chefs.
It's just the accountant, Master Hao, and several chefs who are stable.
They didn't believe that the boss would do such an unkind thing.
So immediately reprimand those who spread the rumors and tell them not to talk nonsense.
But the psychology of panic is unavoidable, especially when the panic has already begun, it is even more difficult to say.
For a while, as long as the business of the home cooking restaurant is better.
The atmosphere in Xicheng Restaurant was even more gloomy. The last chef said, why don't they take the holiday and continue to work, so that Xicheng Restaurant won't be closed directly.
Seeing this, the accountant and Master Hao sighed, and the two had no choice but to go to Dongcheng to find an owner.
It is estimated that only the boss can settle this matter.
