Mrs. Yang glared at him. She knew that she wanted to eat the sausages and snacks from last year, but he didn't make them for her. Instead, he asked her to go to a restaurant. Is he a good son
Yang Sheng put the post down and ran away quickly. He was really scared of his mother.
Mrs. Yang tried to chase him, but failed.
After coming back, her eyes fell on the invitation.
At the same time, Jin Jiaoyue was sending invitations everywhere.
The list that Jiang Yunzhu had was bought from a broker. It contained the surnames and addresses of most of the wealthy businessmen in Wenxianfang.
Jin Jiaoyue was not picky and started delivering from the nearest household.
The family's surname was Lian, and they seemed to be in the jade business. They were a wealthy family, and their house was decorated extremely gorgeously, with four strong servants in front of the door.
Most people might feel scared when seeing this, but Jin Jiaoyue didn't feel that way at all. She walked forward with a smile on her face.
She was beautiful and had a graceful demeanor, so the servants did not dare to look down on her.
She took out the post and explained her purpose.
After hearing this, the servants looked strange. How could a newly opened restaurant dare to invite their master, even though they didn't know him? What were they thinking? Their master was a famous wealthy businessman.
Are they crazy about making money
If everyone was like this, their masters would be very busy.
Jin Jiaoyue ignored them and said, "The invitation has been delivered. Our owner said that from now on, no matter who comes to our restaurant with this invitation, we will welcome them." After saying this, she left gracefully.
The few servants left looked at each other in bewilderment.
…
She sent out the invitations very quickly, and people had mixed reactions.
Some people thought she was fanciful and threw the post aside, while others did not dare to act on their own and presented the post to its owner.
Some of the gentlemen who saw the post were attracted by the menu on it, while others sneered, thinking that the owner of this Shiguang Private Restaurant was showing off. Not to mention anything else, there was no successor to Song Sao's fish soup. Everyone imitated Song Sao's method of making fish soup, but because the methods were not authentic, no one dared to call it by this name.
She puts up this name so openly, it must be a lie.
I guess he doesn't have any real skills.
They even dared to send invitations to their homes. They have no sense of shame.
At this time, Jin Jiaoyue came to the door of a wealthy businessman named Jing. She took out the card and handed it to the servants guarding the gate. While she was talking to them, a young man walked out.
The young man was wearing a plum-dyed brocade robe, and was about twenty years old. He looked sideways at Jin Jiaoyue, and seemed a little nonchalant.
When he heard Jin Jiaoyue say "make room for you", he chuckled, "I wonder what the shop owner looks like? If she's as pretty as a fairy, I'd be willing to give it a try." As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Jiaoyue, "Madam is really beautiful..."
The teasing meaning in his words was too obvious. Jin Jiaoyue's eyes flashed coldly. If he said one more word, she would make him never be a man again.
Jing Chengyan felt an inexplicable chill at the base of his neck, and he moved his body to try to ease the feeling.
Sure enough, I felt better.
Looking at Jin Jiaoyue again, he felt a little ashamed and annoyed, and also had an indescribable feeling. Perhaps because he often got into trouble, he had a special ability to sense danger, which sometimes worked and sometimes didn't, but he himself was very superstitious about this feeling.
Now his feeling told him that it would be best not to mess with the woman opposite.
This doesn't make sense. The woman opposite is at most a runner for a restaurant, and he is at the door of his own house and can call dozens of servants at any time. Why should he be afraid of her
But Jing Chengyan decided to keep quiet.
Seeing this, Jin Jiaoyue let him go and turned away.
After she left, Jing Chengyan felt a breath stuck in his chest and was angry. At this time, he saw the post in the servant's hand and said with a dark face, "Bring it here for me to see."
The servant didn't dare to offend him and handed him the note respectfully.
Jing Chengyan looked at it and said, "What a big tone! Okay, I'll go and see what they've made tomorrow." Then he instructed the people behind him, "Call Chef Han tomorrow. If they don't do a good job, we'll just smash his shop."
"Yes, sir." The servant responded.
Jing Chengyan went out to do some business, and was waiting to cause trouble in Jiang Yunzhu's store tomorrow.
Jin Jiaoyue left the Jing family and went to the Du family on the next street.
The Du family happened to have guests at the house, and the servant didn't know about it. When he went in with the invitation, he realized something was wrong, so he immediately apologized and wanted to leave.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Du asked.
The servant presented the post.
Mr. Du took the post and smiled.
"Brother Du, why are you laughing?" asked Mr. Luo next to him.
"You'll know once you take a look." Mr. Du said as he handed the post to Mr. Luo.
Mr. Luo took it, read it, and laughed.
The two didn't pay attention to this matter, but remembered something that happened two days ago. "Speaking of cooking, the Bai family is clearly deliberately making things difficult for us." Boss Luo said.
Just as Jiang Yunzhu had learned before, there had always been a trend of mutual comparison among the wealthy merchants in the capital. The Bai family was a long-established wealthy merchant in the capital, with three famous chefs and dozens of beautiful concubines, while Master Du and Master Luo were new wealthy merchants.
Good chefs are even rarer than young and beautiful concubines or priceless treasures. They are rarely seen outside. They are either taken into the homes of the powerful or invited back home by established wealthy businessmen. It is difficult for these new wealthy businessmen to hire them even if they spend money.
This is the foundation and also the face of the wealthy businessmen.
Two days ago, the Bai family hosted a banquet for everyone. The three famous chefs cooked delicious dishes that won unanimous praise from everyone, and the Bai family became the center of attention. On the other hand, Master Du and Master Luo seemed a little bleak.
Especially, after eating the Bai family's banquet, it stands to reason that they should find time to return the favor. Mr. Bai even mentioned this matter during the banquet, saying that he was looking forward to the delicious dishes from the Du and Luo families. This was not expectation at all, it was clearly an embarrassment to them, how could the two not be depressed.
"It's because we are not as good as him." Boss Du sighed.
Boss Luo also felt unhappy.
The two were silent for a while, and Boss Luo suddenly looked at the post.
"What do you mean, Brother Luo?" asked Boss Du.
"We are just sitting around doing nothing anyway. What if..." Boss Luo couldn't continue talking here. There was no such thing as what if. The most important thing for them was to find a good chef as soon as possible.
On the first day of the opening of Jiang Yunzhu's private restaurant, there was not a single customer, which set a precedent.
Xue Jing was walking around in the backyard in a panic. It was more uncomfortable to have him idle than to have him busy.
Yundu and others were very patient and just did what they had to do.
Jiang Yunzhu was playing with Simba in the yard. It was early summer and the time was perfect. If she didn't enjoy it, she would feel uncomfortable when the weather got hot.
The next morning, she decided to go to the vegetable market in person to pick out the vegetables for today.
She has been so busy since coming to Beijing that she hasn't even been to the vegetable market.
In fact, she likes to go to the vegetable market the most. The vegetable market in Beijing is really incomparable. Fresh sea bass, the scales are shining in the water, cucumbers just picked in the morning, the tops are still covered with dew, and there are even seafood, the lively prawns...
Jiang Yunzhu's appetite was aroused and she wanted to eat all of them.
However, since the store was new, there were not many customers, so she only picked out some ingredients to take back.
If there are customers, cook it for them. If not, keep it for the people in the store. At least it won’t be wasted.
It was almost noon and, very rarely, someone actually came into the store.
Yun Du went over to greet her, but Jiang Yunzhu shook her head.
The man was a scholar passing by. Seeing that Jiang Yunzhu's restaurant was decorated very elegantly and had a unique name, he came in to take a look.
But after he looked at today's menu, his expression changed.
The cheapest dish, Xuexia Soup, actually costs one or two taels of silver
With one tael of silver, he could buy half a table of banquet elsewhere, with both fish and meat.
He finally understood why no one came to this store. It was actually a shady shop.
"This is too much!" He threw the menu on the table and said angrily.
As long as Yundu doesn't hold a knife, he has a good temper and a warm smile.
With this reaction, the scholar himself was embarrassed. He came in on his own, and no one forced him to buy. Now that he said this, it seemed a bit excessive.
The scholar blushed and wanted to sit down and order two dishes, but in the end, he couldn't bear the pain of his wallet and left in embarrassment.
"Boss, our dishes are indeed a bit expensive, aren't they?" Xue Jing asked Jiang Yunzhu tentatively.
In Wuling County, a plate of food only costs a dozen to dozens of coins, and there is even mapo tofu for a few coins. When it comes to the capital, even if the price has increased, it has increased too much.
For example, how much does a dish of Vietnamese chicken in clear soup cost
Who will eat this
“Maybe someone will complain that we sell it too cheaply in the future,” Jiang Yunzhu said.
Xue Jing didn’t understand, is there anyone who thinks something is cheap when buying it
At this time, a carriage stopped outside, and a woman in her thirties, a boy in his teens, and a little girl of eight or nine years old got out.
Behind the three men were two servants.
"Mom, the name of this restaurant is so strange." The young man looked at the restaurant sign and said to the woman.
"Mom, I'm hungry!" said the little girl, holding the woman's hand.
"If it doesn't taste good, I'll teach your brother a lesson when I get back," said the woman.
After saying that, she led the boy and the girl into the restaurant.
This woman was Yang Sheng's mother, Mrs. Yang. She was also skeptical about the menu on the post, but she still believed in her son. Since she had nothing to do today, she decided to come and take a look.
As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Yunzhu smiled. She didn't know Mrs. Yang, but she knew from the way she was dressed, "Our business is here."
Xue Jing immediately perked up. Is that true
Yun Du went over and asked Mrs. Yang and the other two to sit down, then showed them today's menu.
Just then, Jing Chengyan came in with a short and fat chef and seven or eight evil slaves. He came here to cause trouble today.
Zheng Li Niang called him and asked him to go upstairs.
Soon, another person came. It was Boss Luo. He went to the east of the city to do some work today. On his way back, he suddenly remembered this restaurant and decided to come and take a look.
