Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 284 Ning Yuan’s chain hotpot restaurant

Seeing her sister looking at Mo Lang, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh, how can she be as vindictive as a child? A smile appeared on her beautiful face, she grabbed her sister's hand, pulled Xia Zhining to sit down at the table, and said: "Zhining, Mo Lang is joking with you, why do you still take it seriously?"

With that said, he picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it a few times, dipped it in some seasoning, and put it into Xia Zhining's mouth.

After Xia Zhining ate it, she felt Chen Mo's gaze and her face turned red. However, seeing that he didn't say anything, the embarrassment in her heart receded and she excused herself: "I ate the mutton, not the mutton." What kind of hot pot base is that?"

After trying it once, Xia Zhining started to use the chopsticks by herself, no longer needing anyone to hold them, and she was not afraid of what Chen Mo would say.

"Stop standing, everyone sit down." Seeing that everyone was still standing, Han Anniang said and sat down to eat.

At this time, Chen Mo noticed something was wrong. He scanned around and found that Aunt Ning was not there. He said, "Min'er, why didn't you ask Aunt Ning to come over?"

"Ah?" Song Min was stunned for a moment. Chen Mo asked her to call Sister Han and the others. Song Min thought that calling him those women was enough, but Ning Wan was not the one, and she didn't move around, so she didn't call.

Xia Zhining put the vegetables into the pot and curled her lips slightly when she heard this.

Sensing Xia Zhining's gaze, Chen Mo said: "Ning Wan is Xue'er's aunt, so she is naturally my aunt. The New Year's Eve dinner is also called a reunion dinner. How can it be called a reunion dinner when there are not all of us together."

Chen Mo looked at Liang Xue and said, "Xue'er, go and call Aunt Ning."

Liang Xue was not Xia Zhining, and she wasn't particularly fond of Chen Mo, so she put down her chopsticks and went without thinking too much.

"Don't just eat it, put the vegetables in it." Chen Modang put in venison, tiger meat, pig blood, etc., as well as bear paws.

The bear's paw Chen Mo had already shaved off the hair, blanched it, and cooked it in advance. Now I'm not worried about it not being cooked properly.

Han Aniang and Yi Shiyan sat down on the left and right sides of Chen Mo. Xia Zhining, who wanted to sit on the right side of Chen Mo, could only stop when she saw this scene, sat down next to Han Aniang, and talked with her sister Together.

Xia Zhiqing watched Chen Mo put so many vegetables into the pot and couldn't help but wonder: "Mo Lang, isn't it enough to rinse it a few times? What's wrong?"

"I didn't cut the meat into thin slices. It needs to be cooked more, otherwise it won't be cooked properly." Chen Mo said.

Han Anniang nodded.

"Brother Mo, do you want to put these cabbages and green vegetables in too?" Song Min pointed to the vegetables on the plate.

"If Min'er wants to eat, you can let it go."

As soon as Chen Mo finished answering Song Min, Yi Shiyan opened his mouth: "It's so spicy, so spicy. Where is the water? I want to drink water."

The servant standing behind was about to bring tea when Chen Mo said: "Don't want hot tea, bring cold tea."

Anyone who has eaten spicy food knows that if you drink hot water when the spicy food is not enough, it will feel sour and refreshing.

"promise."

When the slave brought the cold tea, Chen Mo said, "I forgot to tell you. This pot is called Yuanyang Pot. This side is clear soup, and this side is spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, you can have clear soup."

At this time, Chen Mo picked up a piece of tripe and rinsed it in a clear soup pot as a demonstration.

Seeing this, the girls finally understood what the white soup was used for.

"Yuanyang Pot, husband, this name sounds festive." Yi Shiyan said with a smile.

Just when everyone was eating, Liang Xue and Ning Wan came belatedly.

Ning Wan's clothes were very good. She wore a well-cut light yellow jacket and skirt, and a white fox fur, which completely outlined her figure.

The most important thing is that Ning Wan's clothes contrast with Han Anniang's.

Ning Wan is a woman with the same personality as Han Anniang. With her clothes in contrasting colors, she somewhat overshadows Han Anniang.

"Master Marquis, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I'm late, I hope you will forgive me."

Qingyue's voice sounded like gold and jade clashing, and with a bit of tenderness, he bowed to Chen Mo and the others.

Before Liang Xue came to call Ning Wan, Ning Wan was resting in her room. Because the weather was cold and she was an ordinary person, she naturally huddled in the bed and was not well-dressed.

When Liang Xue came to call her, in order not to make Chen Mo anxious, Ning Wan changed into a coat and skirt and came over. Her figure was as plump as Han Anniang. When she bowed, half of her breasts were exposed. Jade bowl. Chen Mo didn't look much and said with a smile: "Aunt Ning, you don't have to be polite. We are all part of the same family. Sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Ning Wan and Liang Xue sat down opposite Chen Mo.

Ning Wan had never eaten hot pot before. When she saw the raw vegetables on the table, she was stunned and didn't know how to use her chopsticks.

Fortunately, Ning Wan was just pretending to be stupid, not really stupid. Looking at Chen Mo and others, she started to imitate them.

Seeing that the girls were all eating it enthusiastically, it obviously tasted good. Chen Mo said, "To be honest, what do you think of the taste?"

"good."

“It’s fragrant, numb and spicy.”

“It’s just right to eat in winter.”

The women, except Ning Wan, were all expressing their opinions. In order not to appear out of place, Liang Xue also mentioned it.

“Since everyone thinks it’s good, how about selling this hot pot set?”

No one would mind having too much money. Now that the three states are developing and money is needed everywhere, Chen Mo naturally has to think of ways to make money, so his idea is to sell packaged hot pot base ingredients.

Han Aniang had run a grocery store for a while and thought it would be okay.

As for Yi Shiyan, none of the Xia sisters, including Liang Xue, understood this.

At this moment, Ning Wan, who had been silent until now, spoke up and said, "Master Hou, I think if we sell the hot pot base you mentioned, it would be better to open a restaurant and launch hot pot as a dish, which would also be highly profitable."

Chen Mo, Han Anniang and other girls were stunned and looked at Ning Wan. Their eyes seemed to say, "Do you understand this?"

Ning Wan looked a little embarrassed and said: "Our ancestors of the Ning family started out as businessmen. We have shops east of the river and west of the river. I understand a little bit about it through my ears and eyes."

The reason why Ning Wan wants to say this is because she has been living in the backyard and can't help with anything. She feels like a stranger and feels uneasy.

And if you are useful, you will feel less uneasy. In order to increase your sense of existence, you will not let others think that you live and eat for free.

Chen Mo became interested and said, "Aunt Ning, please explain."

Seeing that Chen Mo had listened to her suggestion, Ning Wan took a breath, clasped her hands under the table, and said:

"Back to Mr. Hou, first of all, hot pot is very novel to the people. They don't know how to eat it. If they sell hot pot base ingredients, they don't know what these things are for, so they won't buy them at all. .Even if Mr. Hou sent someone to explain what this thing does and how to use it, for the common people, it will be troublesome if they cannot eat it immediately after buying it.

But opening a restaurant is different. You can help them get everything done, and after sending someone to give a simple demonstration, they will be able to do it themselves without any trouble. Moreover, this can not only collect money for the hot pot base, but also other dishes. Can make money.

In addition to the dishes, if people drink spicy food, they will want to drink water, so we can introduce spicy soup and charge a fee.

In addition, the hot pot has a strong taste and the aroma can spread far away. If you open a restaurant, it can attract people in, so that other dishes in the restaurant can be sold easily. "

Ning Wan said a lot in one breath.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up. What Ning Wan was talking about was just a chain of hot pot restaurants.

Moreover, there was no hot pot in the Song Dynasty, so he could make it exclusive.

Ning Yuan spoke so eloquently and clearly knew how to operate in practice.

Chen Mo patted the table gently, stood up, and said immediately: "Since Aunt Ning understands this, can I ask Aunt Ning to help me open this restaurant?

Don't worry, as long as you are responsible for the specific implementation, I will provide the people, money, and land. The money earned will be divided 30/70 between you and me. "

Chen Mo kindly invited me.

Ning Wan was startled for a moment, suddenly feeling a heavy burden placed on her body, but since she offered to open a restaurant, didn't she just want to help?

Ning Yuan agreed.
