self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 86

Zhou He is not stupid, he knows that it is not appropriate for him to go like this. Although he is a brother, he is not a brother and sister after all. Moreover, since An Ran left, he walked around in a strange way. For the sake of being a girl, but I also understand that the old man doesn't take them seriously.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter was really difficult, Zhou He wouldn't dare to come to An Ran, and even if he came, he wouldn't dare to drag his wife Chen by himself.

Mrs. Chen is a country girl who farms the land. She is well-behaved and honest. Everyone tidied things up properly, probably because they felt that they were married to the Zhou family, so they obeyed Zhou He even more. Zhou He told her to go east and never dare to go west. Honestly, it was a bit too much.

Although Mrs. Chen is honest, Zhou He knows a little bit about things outside, she doesn't care much, when she goes out, her mother has repeatedly told her that it is not easy to marry such a man, if the man is outside It's nothing to have a romantic account. These days, only those who have money and decent look for women. If they are really poor, how can they have such spare money.

I also know that I look bad. Zhou He is the manager of the restaurant. He sees the world every day. It is not unusual to find a woman. Anyway, he is pregnant now, and he will give birth to a son tomorrow. Even if Zhou He takes a concubine, he is still a serious big house.

With this in mind, Mrs. Chen is really obedient to Zhou He, doing whatever she asks her to do. However, when she enters An Mansion, she feels a little uneasy. Although she always hears her mother-in-law talking about being a girl, she also knows that the Zhou family After all, it has nothing to do with being a daughter-in-law. Even mother-in-laws dare not treat others as daughters-in-law, let alone themselves.

What's more, Mrs. Chen has never been to such a deep house and compound. Standing outside and looking at this dignified and majestic gate, she felt timid in her heart, and grabbed her husband: "Zhou, Zhou He, I'm afraid."

Zhou He didn't like her petty spirit, she had never seen the world, and compared with Jiao Xing'er, she was a day away, and said impatiently: "What are you afraid of, my daughter-in-law is now from Anfu Da Furen, keep your word, what's more, Liu Xi'er is the chief manager of this mansion now, and last year he was a handyman in the big kitchen under our mother, so he dares to make things difficult for us."

But Chen said: "Then tell me the truth, what are you doing here today?"

Even though she knew that Zhou He had a woman outside, Mrs. Chen didn't think about it. This matter has nothing to do with being a girl, and she is quite clear about Zhou He's temperament. They are not allowed to come to find girls, saying that the past is the past, but now the times have changed, and they have gained a lot of benefits, so let's live a good life, don't think about what you have and what you don't have.

Therefore, when Zhou He suddenly dragged him to the Anfu, Mrs. Chen really didn't know what to do, and always felt that there was something wrong, but Zhou He didn't say anything about it.

The gatekeepers are all smart people, and there is no one who doesn't know Zhou He. When he saw him, he politely let the two sit inside and poured two bowls of tea. He talked with him, and found a boy to report to the big housekeeper Liu Xi'er. Son.

Liu Xi'er was taking care of the mess left by Ding Shoucai. When he came out of the capital, his master told him to follow him. In all likelihood, he was going to take up Ding Shoucai's errand. Ding Shoucai had worked ten times in the mansion. In [-], this old bastard, with a dark heart, not to mention how many benefits he has taken, and he has arranged a lot of his own people. He told Liu Xi'er that if he takes over, the first thing he has to do is to replace the Ding Shoucai people everywhere, otherwise, there will be troubles in the future. .

Liu Xi'er kept her master's words in mind, she didn't do anything these days, she changed some people in important places, but there are many adults in the Anfu, and there are more things to do, so it's impossible to straighten things out in a short while.

Although he was in a hurry, Liu Xi'er was extremely excited. Last year, he was carrying water and chopping firewood in the kitchen outside. The servants in this house were not willing to talk to him when they saw him. Now it is really different from day to day, and it really feels like returning home.

But in his heart, he understands better how he got his present decency, as long as he works conscientiously, this decency can last until he enters the coffin.

Just as he was thinking, the gatekeeper ran in and whispered something in his ear, Liu Xier frowned, and he really came. Last night, An Zihe hurried into the mansion to look for the elder, and he was talking about Zhou He shit.

This kid is really courageous, and moved 500 taels of silver from the cabinet back and forth, 500 taels, now the two yards in the best part of Jizhou City are only a hundred or so taels, and there are several groups. I walked for 500 taels, what did I do here, and I didn’t see his family buying a house or land.

Running here at this time, needless to say, must be afraid of not being able to keep the errand, and came to beg the eldest lady, this matter is really tricky.

No one knows the relationship between the eldest lady and the Zhou family better than Liu Xi'er. The eldest lady really treats the Zhou family as her mother's family, but the eldest master doesn't. If it spreads out, isn't it smearing the Da Furen's face?

Because of this, An Zihe didn't say anything, but went back and forth to the old man, but he didn't expect that Zhou He was so fast that he came here today.

Liu Xi'er frowned and thought for a while: "He came here by himself?"

The boy at the gate hurriedly said: "He brought his wife, the couple came together."

Liu Xi'er nodded, this kid was quite scheming, but he couldn't decide this matter, so he told the boy to go and stabilize Zhou and his wife first, then turned around and entered the inner house.

Three months passed in a flash, and after the first three months, An Ran's morning sickness finally got better. An Jiamu had just been happy for a few days, when he realized that his wife was eating too much.

I didn't eat anything up front, and I almost died of worry. Fortunately, Lin Xing'er's medicinal diet order came in time. Although she still vomits every day, she can finally eat something.

Unexpectedly, in the past three months, his daughter-in-law seemed to have opened the gate. This day, she started eating when she woke up in the morning and opened her eyes. She ate until she went to bed. I've heard it, let alone cooked it for her, and she didn't want her to do it herself, so she asked her how to do it, and went to the kitchen to tinker by herself. It's only been a few days, and An Jiamu feels that his cooking skills can be described by leaps and bounds .

An Ran also discovered that her man turned out to be a good material for a cook, and out of a love of talent, she taught him a lot of cooking, which also became a different kind of fun between the couple.

Ever since Madam stopped vomiting, the maid on night duty in the main room often saw the Elder Master and the Eldest Madam staying up late at night, cooking, talking and laughing in the small kitchen, making each other affectionate, sometimes it made people blush .

Before An Ran didn't eat, she became skinny and skinny, which made An Jiamu's heart ache. In less than half a month, her small face became round, and this round face made her look smaller.

Yue Jintang jokingly said yesterday: "If this goes out, who would believe that a little girl like you is Chef An?" He has children, but his wife is getting younger and younger, and he is getting older. If this goes on, what if An Ran despises him.

However, he would never let others know about these awkward thoughts, especially Yue Jintang, otherwise, this bastard might laugh at himself.

Speaking of Yue Jintang, An Jiamu thought at first that he came to Jizhou because of the culinary arts academy, but he had been busy for more than a month and didn't see him getting involved, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Opening a school is both difficult and easy. If you have money, power, and power, it’s much easier if you have someone. The family has plenty of money. Ji Gongming, the prefect of Jizhou in the government, wished he could set up the Culinary Academy tomorrow to enroll students. At that time, all the best cooks in the world will come to Jizhou. Don't think about it, in the future culinary competitions, there will be no other state capitals, and he will have to let Jizhou make a round.

Therefore, he was even more anxious than An Ran, and came to An Mansion to urge An Jiamu whenever he had something to do.

An Jiamu didn't care what happened to Ji Gongming, but the little daughter-in-law was also thinking about the Culinary Academy, so she couldn't help but care about it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that the vicinity of the horse farm was quite suitable. The reason why the horse farm was built there was that the nearby land was not very good, and it was better to raise horses than grow crops.

Because the harvest is not good, the common people don’t want to waste their seeds and energy, and would rather leave them unused. As a result, the nearby villages are famously poor. If the Culinary Academy is built somewhere, people will come and go, and it will soon become lively. , I don’t farm the land, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing for a small business.

Although An Jiamu wasn't rich and unkind before, he didn't have such a compassionate heart. He wondered how the common people's lives were going, plus the people in Jizhou secretly said that he was punished by God for his wickedness, so he cut off his children and grandchildren.

It’s different now, my beloved daughter-in-law is by my side, and I’m still pregnant with his flesh and blood, and I’m in a good mood, so I don’t care about these things. Feng Hou worships the prime minister, and you can grow up safely, don't die like the first two elder brothers.

If you say that these people are all selfish, An Jiamu is even more so. Although Haozhen Haojun is also his own flesh and blood, he is far from being able to compare with the child in An Ran's womb.

Although Xie's crimes are heinous, An Jiamu faintly feels that he should thank her, it's not that she is so vicious, if he has a wife and son now, no matter how hard he tries, An Ran will never marry him, let alone, now It's been a sweet little day.

It's much easier to choose a good place. The common people are not stupid. It was just wasteland with no hope. When they heard that a culinary academy was going to be built, they all knew it was a great thing. No one would hold the land and refuse to sell it. The land was collected within a few days, and the land was leveled, leaving only the foundation laying.

.

The laying of the foundation is a big event, not to mention that this culinary art academy was originally opened by An Ran. It is impossible for her, the number one chef in the world, not to be present. Ji Gongming urged her several times, but An Jiamu was worried about An Ran's body. I stopped vomiting, and my body got better, so I chose an auspicious day three days later to hold the foundation stone laying ceremony.

After the foundation is laid, the ground will be broken in the first spring of next year. As for how to build it?What kind of cover?An Jiamu didn't know what to do. Although An's family had a lot of business, they never opened a school.

It was only now that An Jiamu realized that his wife knew how to build a house. These days, his wife was lying on the table every day to draw sketches for the academy.

An Jiamu didn't take it seriously at first, but later found out that his daughter-in-law really knew it, so she couldn't compare with those professional craftsmen, but she still looked good.

Moreover, judging from the sketches she drew, An Jiamu felt that she must be quite familiar with the layout of the Culinary Academy to draw such detailed and realistic drawings.

In fact, An Jiamu didn't know An Ran's entanglement. Although he was familiar with the layout of the cooking school, this place was ancient. It was impossible to translate the entire Anji Cooking School. He could only fill in the ancient houses according to the layout, thinking about simplicity , but it is difficult to sit up. After all, she did not study architecture, and she is not familiar with house design. She just studied painting for a few days in her spare time, and she can barely draw sketches. It is quite entangled.

It took half a month to draw something, but she had to keep revising it and communicate with the craftsmen who built the house. Even though An Jiamu had already helped her deal with a lot, some things had to be done by herself.

Fortunately, the ground will be broken in the spring of next year, and I still have a winter to study and revise, so I don't need to worry too much. Now her most important task is to raise the baby, and how can I get An Jiamu to go out for a stroll, this man is too homely up.

An Ran can remember that when she was in Jizhou before, this man hardly stayed in the mansion, as long as he was in the mansion, it must be a big feast.

Now I don't go out, I don't bother, and I even hate people, unless they have to see, like Ji Gongming, the magistrate, and Yue Jintang, who has a thick skin and lives directly in Anfu. When other people come, most of them find excuses to disappear, let alone The table is set.

Walking in front of me almost every day, no matter how close the two of them are, they are together every day. After a long time, I can't bear it. Especially, this man is very domineering. As long as he is here, no one else will be in front of him.

Gouzi Shunzi asked him to send him to Qizhou to help because he was afraid that Gao Bingyi would be too busy because of the business of Fuchunju. After a while, Xiaotao came, but she was also a clever girl. I don't know if her mother told her to Yes, as long as the old man is in front of him, he will definitely stay far away.

Moreover, An Ran is very suspicious now, it is because of An Jiamu's relationship that the godmother's family dare not come and walk.Maybe it's because of her pregnancy, but recently An Ran always thinks of the days when she first passed through. Although it was difficult, there were people in the kitchen outside, and she felt extraordinarily warm.

Even though everyone has selfish intentions, they are kind-hearted by nature. For this girl with a bad reputation and bad conduct, An Ran was quite moved from the initial defense and disgust to the final acceptance.

Seeing her in a daze, An Jiamu couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking? The ink is dripping onto the drawing."

An Ran came back to her senses, and hurriedly dipped the dripping ink with a cotton cloth. Fortunately, this picture has not been painted a few strokes, otherwise it will be troublesome, this brush is really hard to use.

Looking up and seeing An Jiamu looking at him suspiciously, he shook his head: "I didn't think about anything, I just remembered something about the past in the kitchen outside. Speaking of this, I don't know how the godmother and godfather are. I want to go and look for it one day later. Look at them, what do you think?"

An Jiamu's eyes flickered, Mrs. Liu and Zhou Laoshi were still doing their jobs, and Zhou Tai was also honest, but Zhou He did something stupid.

Thinking of what An Zihe said yesterday, An Jiamu couldn't help frowning. If it weren't for An Ran's relationship with the Zhou family, Zhou He's affairs would be very easy to deal with.

Not to mention Anjia, even the entire Great Yan Dynasty has countless corrupt officials, big and small, but honest officials are rare. These emperors are also quite clear. There is a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as it is not too much like Jiangnan Governor Shangguan Like righteousness, the emperor would turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

What's more, for a businessman like him, now Anjia's business is spread all over the country. The big shopkeepers, stewards, clerks, and accountants all count as thousands of people. The benefits are not new, but no one dares to move out 500 taels of silver in just one month like Zhou He.

If it is true that Zhou's family is short of money, it's fine to pay it back. In An Ran's face, let alone 500 taels, 5000 taels is nothing, but it is for a woman, or such a useless woman.

An Jiamu now regrets it a bit. Back then, she was afraid that Jiao Xinger, a stupid woman who was bent on climbing high, would cause some trouble, so she forced her parents to marry her off.

I thought it would stop after getting married, but I didn't want to, this girl was not a law-abiding girl by nature, so she hooked up with Zhou He again, gave her a man to hold her short son, and extorted Zhou He's money, Zhou He then moved it to the cabinet. 500 taels of silver.

In the final analysis, these things were all caused by Jiao Xing'er, and he was thinking about how to deal with it properly, but his daughter-in-law was going to Zhou's house at this time, if An Ran knew about it, she would be angry, if it was because of such things My son, I can't feel sorry for myself when I'm so angry.

Just thinking about how to find an excuse to delay his wife, Liu Xi'er came.

As soon as An Jiamu looked at him, he knew something was wrong. He was about to find an excuse to go out and ask Liu Xier alone, but he didn't want An Ran to see it, and asked Liu Xier directly: "Why are you so evasive, are you trying to hide it from me?" He glanced at An Jiamu.

An Jiamu smiled and said, "What's the matter?" As he spoke, he winked at Liu Xi'er.

Liu Xi'er also giggled and said, "It's really nothing."

An Ran was annoyed: "Don't tell me, I'll go out and ask myself." She stood up and was about to go out, but An Jiamu hurriedly stopped her, and said to Liu Xi'er: "Did you hear what Da Furen said? Tell me if you have anything to say , to cover up what?"

Only then did Liu Xi'er say, "It's Zhou and his wife who are here."

On the contrary, An Ran became happy: "I just said that I would go to see my godfather and mother one day, but the second brother and his wife came here. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister-in-law yet, so hurry up and ask them to come in."

An Jiamu pulled her to sit on the kang: "Well, let his wife come in first to talk with you. As for your second brother, I happen to have something to discuss with him, and I'll let him come later. "

An Ran: "You will find time." Remembering that Zhou He is now the manager of the restaurant, there is nothing short of work, and if An Jiamuruo is in front of him, he is afraid that the second sister-in-law will be uncomfortable, so he agrees.

An Jiamu just came out to meet Zhou He. Zhou He was thinking about what he would say when he met his girlfriend for a while, but he didn't want the old man to come first. His face turned pale from fright, and his legs couldn't help shaking.

Everyone who settles down, regardless of whether they are servants or buddies, is born with a fear of the old man, not to mention that Zhou He already has ghosts in his heart.

His daughter-in-law was even more afraid. The biggest nobleman she had ever met was the landlord in the village. No bottom.

Both of them spoke timidly, "Here, please greet the Eldest Master." Even though Zhou He said in his heart that he came to find a daughter-in-law, he really didn't dare to regard the Elder Master as his brother-in-law, he was really afraid from the bottom of his heart.

An Jiamu glanced at the two couples, his eyes stopped on his wife's big belly, his eyes were slightly gentle, and he asked, "How many months?"

It took a long time for the couple to realize that they were asking about the child in their womb, and Mrs. Chen said tremblingly: "Back, back to the old man, six, six months."

An Jiamu nodded: "No wonder it's so big." He wondered if the child in An Ran's womb would be this big when he was six months old, round and round like a ball in his arms.

Thinking about it this way, she couldn't bear Chen's standing and suffering, and said to Liu Xi'er: "You call a proper woman to help her go in and talk to my wife."

Liu Xi'er couldn't help but glanced at Zhou He, and said to himself, this kid is really smart, considering his wife's face, the elder probably would let him go, and called a woman to help Mrs. Chen enter the room. Inner house.

The woman was very thoughtful, she was afraid that Mrs. Chen would fall, she supported her all the way, she was quite respectful to Mrs. Chen, and Mrs. Chen became more and more uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to work, ma'am, I just go by myself .”

The woman did not force her, let go of her, but still reminded her from time to time: "There are steps ahead, madam, be careful..." This cry frightened Mrs. Chen: "I, I am not a madam."

The mother-in-law smiled and still called her Mrs.

After entering the main room, An Ran had already been watching from the porch. When she saw the mother-in-law introducing a young daughter-in-law, she knew it must be the second sister-in-law. She walked a few steps over and grabbed Chen Shi's hand, and said with a smile: "What did you say just now?" I'm going to see my godmother, godfather, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I don't want to come here today."

Seeing her big belly, she hurriedly said: "Sit in the room quickly, this month is getting bigger, and I'm afraid I'll get tired if I stand for a long time."

Although Mrs. Chen always heard her mother-in-law talk about this godmother to her men, she had never seen it before, and she didn't dare to think that such a noble lady would be so intimate with her one day. Moreover, this eldest lady is really good-looking, look It looks like the beauties in those paintings that the family bought back next year, no wonder she can be a big lady.

Moreover, he is very kind, pulling himself to ask questions, asking about the child in his belly, and asking about the family, talking for a long time, and it was not until Zhou He came in that he realized that it was getting late.

Seeing Zhou He's expression, An Ran seemed to have something on her mind. She wanted to ask, but An Jiamu turned her off.

With An Jiamu by her side, the Chen family was even more restrained. Seeing the couple, An Ran couldn't say anything more, so she asked the maid to go in and take out the gift she had prepared early in the morning, and handed it to Zhou He: "This year, An Ran No longer in Jizhou, I don’t know that the elder brother and the second brother both married their sisters-in-law. I only found out when the godmother came to talk about it that day. These two rights should be a congratulatory gift. , take it back together, it is also a little bit of my heart."

Zhou He's eyes lit up, and he knew in his heart that today's daughter-in-law is not worth a lot, so the gift he gave would naturally not be light. Is it an errand?

Thinking of this made me happy, thanked An Ran, and the couple went back.

When Zhou and the couple left, An Ran couldn't help but look at An Jiamu: "What did you tell the second brother? Why do you look at him as if he has something on his mind."

An Jiamu shook his head: "What can I say, it's just a matter of business, and you don't like to listen to it, why do you have to scan it?" He said and looked out the window: "It's almost noon, today What do you want for lunch?"

An Ran thought for a while: "Today, Liu Xi'er asked someone to bring a basket of crabs. The boss's stature is round, so he looks fat."

An Jiamu quickly shook his head: "Crabs are cold in nature, you are pregnant with a child now, so it's not appropriate to eat them."

An Ran laughed: "It's not a meal, it doesn't matter if you eat one or two, besides, I don't eat steamed food, but I thought of a dish, I'll make it for you to try, and I can teach Xiaotao along the way."

An Jiamu couldn't help laughing: "Although you haven't accepted Xiaotao as an apprentice, she was the first one to teach you personally. Thanks to Gouzi Shunzi, she didn't come around anymore. Otherwise, I would definitely say that your master is partial."

This is true, An Ran is a woman herself, and she is particularly fond of Xiao Tao, who is also a woman. What's more, Xiao Tao, despite her young age, has a higher understanding of cooking than Gou Zi Shun Zi. The way Xiaotao is serious about cooking, An Ran always thinks of herself.

Xiaotao is a natural cook, as long as she is taught well, An Ran is sure that this girl's cooking skills will be better than Gouzi Shunzi's in the future. This girl has a stubborn drive to strive for perfection and pays special attention to details. The quality of a top chef, so Xiao Tao can be regarded as the apprentice he has truly taught.

When Xiaotao heard that Da Furen wanted to cook with her own hands, Xiao Tao couldn't be happier. Xiao Tao understood that as long as Da Furen cooks, she is teaching herself.

It's just that my basic skills are poor, so now I practice knife skills whenever I have free time. Moreover, she has seen the crabs sent a long time ago. She rarely sees crabs, but when she and her mother went to the village to visit relatives, The little one didn't know that this thing could cook, so when he saw An Ran entered the kitchen, he rushed over to help him.

An Ran knew in her heart that although Xiaotao was savvy, she lacked in basic skills and knowledge. Although she liked to figure out how to cook, she had never learned how to cook systematically. See you once.

As a real cook, you must know all kinds of ingredients. Once you get the ingredients, you will know how to clean them up and how to serve them. Only by fully and proficiently controlling the ingredients can you become a qualified cook.

Undoubtedly, the stewed fish in Xiaotao sauce was well done, but the way to clean the fish was not proper. If the thick sauce did not cover the smell of the fish, the fish would be unpalatable.

As a top chef, he is faced with extremely picky diners. From the processing of ingredients to the final seasoning, there must be no deviation in the slightest. What's more, it is impossible to only cook fish in sauce.There are thousands of ways to cook fish, and the most important one is to remove the fishy smell.

But Xiaotao is very smart and hard-working. I only taught her once, and I remembered that the stewed fish her mother made now, even Yue Jintang said it was delicious, and asked Xiaotao to cook it for him every now and then. So, so do crabs.

Seeing her looking at the crabs in the bamboo basket, An Ran couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "Don't be afraid to catch crabs, as long as you pinch the crab's back and belly, its pincers won't stretch back, so naturally it won't be pinched. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched a crab: "It's like this, don't let go of the pinch, put it in the water and clean it with a brush, and then put it in the cage for steaming."

Xiaotao tried twice before she succeeded, and finally put all the crabs into the steamer, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, seeing An Ran looking at her and smiling, she couldn't help feeling a little ashamed: "Yes, I'm too stupid."

An Ran: "You are not stupid. When I caught crabs for the first time, I was not as good as you. I was caught several times."

Xiaotao finally gained some confidence, and asked curiously, "Is the lady going to make steamed crab?"

An Ran shook her head: "Although most of the crabs are steamed, there are many different methods, such as the famous dishes in southern cuisine, crab roe lion head, crab roe tofu soup, crab roe steamed eggs, and the well-known crab roe soup dumpling... today Let's make Furong Crab Fight."

Xiaotao: "Ma'am taught me how to make Furong chicken slices, do I need egg white batter for this?"

An Ran nodded: "This dish is not difficult to make, I tell you to do it." Xiao Tao's eyes lit up.

Looking at the two figures in the courtyard, Yue Jintang couldn't help saying: "This girl can teach cooking with such a hands-on hand. If it gets out, many cooks will be jealous. Speaking of it, this People really have to talk about chance, if the two of you hadn't returned to Jizhou and caught up with your wife who was pregnant again, I'm afraid I wouldn't have so much time to teach this girl."

An Jiamu said angrily: "You're taking it easy. It's been two months. Why haven't you returned to Beijing? If you really plan to settle in Jizhou, shouldn't you buy your own house? It’s not good to spread the word about eating and drinking at other people’s houses every day.”

Yue Jintang was delighted: "You are really getting more and more stingy, I have only lived in your house for a few days, and based on our friendship, I am so embarrassed that I cannot be driven out."

An Jiamu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "What are you doing here?"

Yue Jintang coughed: "Come on, let's talk, just want to discuss with you two, whether to drive Yashe to the capital, the capital is full of high-ranking officials, and many people try their best to listen to me Well, if you can drive Yashe to the capital, it will be more profitable than Jiangnan."

It's not that An Jiamu didn't think about it, but Yashe opened in Jiangnan. In addition to the foundation laid by An Ran, Jiangnan has a warm climate, rich heritage, and many fresh ingredients, which ensure the quality and style of Yashe's dishes.

If it is driven to the capital, it must be transported from the south of the Yangtze River. With such a long journey, the freshness cannot be guaranteed after transporting it. In particular, it is impossible to move those seasonal vegetables, fish and shrimp to the capital.

As a businessman, it is more uncomfortable than anyone else to see that he is not making money. Therefore, he has thought about opening a branch of Fuchunju, but if he opens Fuchunju, it will not be too different from Anji Restaurant.

Because of An Ran's relationship, there are no cooks in An Kee Restaurant who are poor in craftsmanship, and those who are not good in craftsmanship dare not go to An Kee Restaurant to show their eyes. Therefore, the business of An Kee Restaurant has become more and more prosperous, but it is far behind Ya She. .

The two were discussing, when An Ran came out with a plate.

Yue Jintang poked his head and took a look, his mouth was about to flow out: "This dish looks fresh, this king has never seen it before, what kind of dish is it?"

An Ran has long been used to Yue Jintang's virtues: "This dish is called Furong Crab Dou."

This crab fight was thought up by An Ran on a whim, and she just wanted An Jiamu to eat it fresh, but Yue Jintang pointed to the plate and said to An Jiamu: "Yes, why use ingredients from Jiangnan, didn't An Ran say that? The southern dishes are as good as the southern dishes, and the northern dishes are as good as the northern dishes. Whoever stipulates that Yashe must sell southern dishes. What's more, our Yashe has stipulated from the beginning that customers are not allowed to order dishes, as long as the chef is skilled enough Well, the dishes made are of a good standard, but what kind of dishes are sold are different.”

An Jiamu was stunned for a while, because of this reason, he couldn't help but look at An Ran.

It was only then that An Ran realized that the two of them were studying to open Yashe in the capital, which was a good idea, no matter ancient or modern, the capital is the center of a country's political culture, a bustling and prosperous place where all directions gather, and there are more dignitaries and dignitaries. There are so many people who are rushing for exams and asking for help.

Just like most of the top high-end clubs in later generations are opened in the capital, because they all understand the business opportunities here.

An Ran is not interested in doing business, but wants to make money, and make a lot of money. No one knows better than her how strong funds are needed to support a culinary school.
