Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 20 Chu Qiao's debut in the kitchen world
"The shopkeeper please get up quickly, Xiaosheng can't afford it." Jin Yu hurriedly stood up and helped him.

"The little old man doesn't want his ancestral family business to be lost in his own hands, so I ask you to make it happen." After the shopkeeper got up, he still hoped that Jin Yu would agree.

"Give someone a rose, leave a lingering fragrance in your hand. If the shopkeeper really needs it, I promise you." Jin Yu thinks it's just one dish?This is totally available.

"Thank you, Young Master!" The shopkeeper stood up and bowed again, "Try the winter tea that just arrived in the shop."

"Okay, shopkeeper, please sit down." Jin Yu said and picked up the teacup, "Pfft!" Jin Yu was also thirsty, before swallowing a big mouthful of tea, he spit it all out with a tilt of his head, what is it like?The color is quite positive, but if you add some spicy ginger and salt, the taste will not be much better.

"But it's hot?" the shopkeeper asked quickly.

"It's just right, I made the shopkeeper laugh. Xiaosheng is drinking tea for the first time, and he is not used to the taste." Jin Yu wiped the water stains around his mouth.

"Oh, I got used to it slowly. This tea is not so easy to get. The little old man finally asked for two taels. It's very precious." The shopkeeper took a sip after speaking, showing an intoxicated look on his face.

"Does the shopkeeper have dishes made of pig's head and offal?" Jin Yu changed the subject.

"There is pork head meat, but few people eat it in the water, and the taste is not easy to deal with." The shopkeeper said one thing.

"Well. I think our side is mainly some local people and past merchants who come to eat. I have an idea that can make customers feel affordable. As for your side, you can also make money. I don't know if the shopkeeper is willing to try it. What about?" Jin Yu asked tentatively.

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Please tell me, my lord." The shopkeeper was obviously interested.

"The second dish is called 'Chaotianguo', which means that there are pig's head meat, pig offal and vegetables cooked in a large pot. Noodle cakes are provided. Guests can eat whatever they want with cake rolls. The old soup in the pot is provided free of charge. , It would be great if the shopkeeper can provide some seasonings, pickles, etc. Chaotianguo can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hot cakes and hot dishes have a mellow taste, fat but not greasy, quite refreshing, affordable and delicious , It saves trouble and effort, what do you think of the shopkeeper?" Jin Yu was lucky enough to eat Chaotianguo a few times before, and he never forgot this kind of food, so he copied it because he saw it was suitable for the situation here.

"Good! Pig offal is cheap, it saves the trouble of cooking, saves time, and employs less people. As long as someone comes to eat, you can save a lot of worry and earn a lot of money. But this pig offal can't be dealt with. The smell is too strong." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, but he was not without worry.

"Isn't there me? Hehe, I'm sure the shopkeeper will eat and applaud." Jinyu still has this confidence.

"It's not a good idea to bother my master with everything." The shopkeeper felt a little sorry. He had already met his psychological expectations for a sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and he didn't have the money to buy this recipe.

"No money, as long as the shopkeeper can waive the meal expenses for these few days." Jin Yu saw the shopkeeper's worry and made a small request.

"It should be, and another small shop offers ten taels of silver, please don't refuse." The shopkeeper spent a lot of money on this dish, which is about 5 RMB in conversion of ten taels of silver in the beginning of Zhenguan.

"No, it's good if I can get rid of the meal fee. This dish is useless to me." Jin Yu really thinks that it's just a dish, it can't be so unkind, just mean it, it's too much to charge so much money .

"Young master, don't refuse. The ones bought by the small shop are exclusive, and please don't tell other shopkeepers." The shopkeeper stated his conditions.

"Oh, okay, in Lingzhou City, only your family will be taught this dish, and the nearby cities will no longer teach this dish, what do you think?" Jin Yu didn't expect such a condition, so he thought for a while and said.

"Come on, that's it! I will send the money to the young master and send it to the backyard later." The shopkeeper was very happy to see that the deal was concluded.

"Don't worry, if the method I taught doesn't work, I'm too embarrassed to take the money. Let's see the effect when we leave. Let's cook pigs first." Jin Yu is a little unconfident, and doesn't think that a dish can play a role. How useful.

After obtaining the consent of the shopkeeper, Jin Yu asked the waiter in the shop to buy a few more sets of pig offal, and then asked the chef to help him, and taught him how to deal with the pig offal.

The aniseed ingredients that Jin Yu used were beyond the cognition of people in this era. After half an hour, there was a strong smell of meat in the pot.It makes people salivate.

Jin Yu fished out a piece of pork head meat, cut it in half, dissipated the heat slightly, then quickly cut it into strips, took out a piece of bread that had been baked a long time ago, rolled it in, and made four or five pieces in a short time .Give it to everyone to taste, and everyone applauds.

"The shopkeeper, the taste is here. If you want to attract customers quickly, you still need to publicize it to let others know. When Xiaosheng came back just now, he saw a few beggars outside the door. They are very young. Can you hire them? Publicize it?" Jin Yu knew the truth that "the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys", and when he saw the children outside the door, he wanted to help them by the way.

"Everything is decided by the young master." After the shopkeeper tasted it, he was convinced of Jin Yu's ability.

"If you want to quickly attract customers, Xiaosheng thinks that it is not enough to rely on people to promote, but also to have attractive features, so that customers have to come, otherwise others will think that it will be the same when they come to eat in the future." Seeing the nod of the shopkeeper, Jin Yu continued: "It's free before Si time every day, for three consecutive days. This should be enough."

"This ``````" the shopkeeper hesitated.

"The loss is mine, so it's my reward." Jin Yu could see that the shopkeeper was a little worried.

"How is this possible? The little old man knows that the young master is thinking of the shop, and everything is up to the young master." The shopkeeper felt a little bit apologetic. He was asking others to help him, but now he gave him advice, but he cared about a little profit.

"Then it's settled, hehe. Xiaosheng drew a few pictures for the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to arrange for someone to find a blacksmith to make a few sets of utensils. It will save time and effort to do this in the future." Jin Yu still thinks that the two claw hooks and big soup The spoon is convenient.

(By the way, Chaotianguo needs to use a fence. I wanted to write it on it, but in ancient times there were no iron fences, and they were usually made of bamboo. By default, it already exists at the beginning of Tang Dynasty.)
"Kids, do me a favor. My brother treats you to dinner, okay?" Jin Yu was holding a few ready-made hotpots in his hand. Talk to these kids with an attitude.

"I don't know what the young master can use for us?" The oldest little boy looked suspicious, and the other children hid behind him.

"Starting from Maoshi tomorrow, for three consecutive days, I went to crowded places and shouted 'Chengnan Defuju's new food, discounted rewards, free tasting before Sishi, only for three days', Sishi came to the store to help, and within three days I was in charge live, and each person has ten Wen wages." Jin Yu patiently explained.

"Success." The boy who took the lead didn't know Jin Yu, but he knew the shopkeeper next to him. The shopkeeper nodded to confirm that Jin Yu's words were correct, and agreed.

"Here, let's eat first, and work when we're full." Jin Yu handed them the Chaotianguo in his hand, but he didn't dare to give more, for fear that these half-starved children would fill their stomachs.

"Let's go, I'll buy you some clothes to change into. If you wear it like this tomorrow, if you shout hard, people won't believe it." Jin Yu said pulling the boy who had put down his guard.

"We have no money." The boy said eagerly.

"I will send you off without any money, and it will be included in the remuneration for you." Jin Yu looked at these sallow and emaciated children, feeling very uncomfortable.

I bought a whole set of clothes for everyone from inside to outside, and asked them to take a bath and change, not to mention, they immediately improved several levels.

Jin Yu temporarily explained some precautions to them, and asked them to shout slogans a few times, which was regarded as temporary training. It was the first time for children to meet someone who treated them so well, and they studied hard, which made Jin Yu very satisfied.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jin Yu told them to eat something and then go back to the backyard to resettle.He went to the kitchen and took out the chicken soup that had been simmering all afternoon and sent it to Yang Ying.

"Master Xie, let Yinger take care of you in the future. Yinger must follow her duty." After Chen Rui chatted with Yang Ying about some things in the afternoon, Yang Ying became more sensible.

"You don't have a fever, how can you talk nonsense?" Jin Yu reached out and touched Yang Ying's forehead, teasingly.

"Young Master```" Yang Ying blushed and refused to obey.

"Okay, let's eat first, it's good for your 'sickness'." Seeing that Yang Ying's face turned red again, Jin Yu wished he could give himself two mouthfuls.

"It's really delicious, and my son will eat it too." Yang Ying took a sip, and she gave way with a calm expression.

"I've eaten it, and I made it specially for you. The soup is good, drink more soup." Jin Yu said pitifully.

"Yeah." Yang Ying responded, "Where is the child? I heard a child chattering outside just now."

"The little beggar outside``````" Jin Yu told Yang Ying what happened in the afternoon.

"Young master is really powerful." "Young master is so kind." Yang Ying praised her from time to time.

The beauty in Jin Yu's heart is so light that the little loli praises it.

After Yang Ying finished eating, Jin Yu chatted for a few more words before he was exhausted and went out with the soup plate.

Jin Yu got up early the next day, and after the children got up, they had a little hot meal, and then sent them to attract guests according to the designated directions.

At the beginning, the effect was not obvious, the shopkeeper looked out from time to time, his face was a little anxious, but people came to dine one after another from Chenshi, when the tables were full, the shopkeeper's face was full of joy.The kitchen utensils made by Jinyu helped a lot, and the efficiency has been improved a lot.

From Sishi to Xushi, there was no shortage of people, and the guest rooms at the back were full because of this. Thanks to those little beggars, they were able to survive. In the middle, Jin Yu and the cook hurriedly drove six pigs into the water.

When Tiancha rested, the shopkeeper really got cramp from counting the money. Although each one cost a penny, he couldn't bear to sell too much.It seems that I have to work overtime tonight to make noodle cakes and pigs into the water.
