Chang’an Small Restaurant

    After July and a half, the cloudy and rainy days that have lasted for several days are over, and the heat has dissipated. A few white clouds, and the usual autumn wind, the pleasant autumn in Chang'an, finally came.

    Shen Shaoguang recalled this excessively hot summer, and felt a little lingering fear. Who would have thought that because of the high temperature, the city would be full of wind and rain, and the natural disaster almost turned into a man-made disaster, and it even affected his little pond fish. In comparison, the over half a month of rain, moldy clothes, and water vapor on the walls were nothing.

      In October, it will be a little colder when hoarfrost starts to fall in the morning and evening.

    Shen Shaoguang slightly lifted the pine frost green skirt, sat down, picked up Mingnu and slowly smoothed her hair. This pine frost green has a bit of autumn heaviness, just like the color I saw when I came back from outside the city that afternoon. The shirt was milky white, softer than Mingnu's coat, and made into a Hufu with narrow sleeves, so as not to be caught by someone again.

    Thinking of that day, Shen Shaoguang felt a little resentful, and felt that she was embarrassed by the new women of the 21st century... Probably, after a long time, the soul has become classical and conservative?

    However, the trip that day was not without fruit. For example, I ate fresh boiled beans, delicious steamed pork, and village brewing with a bit of stamina. Among them, the most worth mentioning is the cold buckwheat Amoy.

    The buckwheat noodles washed with well water have a slight astringency and the fragrance of wheat noodles. They are chewy, mixed with sesame sauce, clear sauce, vinegar, and garlic.

    In the rice grain store in the square, Shen Shaoguang had never seen buckwheat noodles, maybe in the west market, but Shen Shaoguang was too lazy to look for it for the time being, so he bought a bag of buckwheat with the lady of the store.

    So in the past two days, on the desks of the host and guests of Shen Ji, buckwheat soup cakes are often seen, cold, hot soup, soy pot, stewed, fried, Braised, thick, thin, baby finger-shaped, cat-ear shaped...all kinds of tricks.

     Eating a chopstick of buckwheat noodles, chewing it, eating another chopstick, and nodding to Shen Shaoguang.

    He was eating shredded chicken noodles. Soba noodles are a bit thick and astringent, so when you eat them, either run cold water to make them refreshing, add sesame sauce, garlic vinegar and other ingredients to mix and eat;

    Chicken shredded noodles are different. The chicken shreds are caught with egg whites, wrapped in glutinous rice flour, and rolled in a pan with warm oil, then stir-fried with lard and a little silver needle bean sprouts, put in a little milk soup, thin and thickened, and quickly out of the pan, the chicken shredded in this way Very smooth. Add a little shredded cucumber and eat it with this glutinous soba noodles, and you will have a colorful feeling between your tongue and teeth.

    Shao Jie finished the two mouthfuls of buckwheat noodles in the small bowl, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

    Shen Shaoguang smiled knowingly and asked, "Is it still palatable for Shao Langjun?"

    "Delicious!" Shao Jie praised, "It's a pity—"

    What a pity? Shen Shaoguang lifted his spirits and listened to his advice.

    "Your bowl is too small!"

    Shen Shaoguang laughed, and Shao Jie laughed too.

    Shao Jie is really not exaggerating. He has a wealthy family since he was a child and has never eaten buckwheat soup cakes. He thought the taste was a bit strange at first, but he became addicted after eating it. There are only a few mouthfuls in a small bowl.

    Shen Shaoguang likes to cheer like this, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun has used wine, meat and vegetables before, and this buckwheat soup cake is at the end, just like the geisha ladies who sang songs when they were children. Properly dragging it for a while, there will be a feeling of lingering sound, and if it is dragged for too long, it will be redundant.”

    Shao Jie laughed, the little lady didn't know where these witty words came from, they were both interesting and precise!

    Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "Wait a few days, the autumn wind will be cooler, Lang Jun can come to eat mutton mustard and buckwheat soup cakes. The mustard greens that are marinated enough to stew a large piece of fat mutton. , fragrant mutton soup, thin soba noodles, and a spoonful of fried dogwood sauce... Then I will use the largest sea bowl for Langjun!"

    Shao Jie smiled: "It's settled!"

    Shao Jie once again sighed: "Little lady should really go to the open shop in Dongxi Market. Shen Ji has some reputation now, and I have heard people mention Shen Ji's food more than once. At this time, it is time to ride the wind and waves. , go to the East-West Market, and play the banner."

    Shen Shaoguang had free time in the afternoon, sipped rose tea, and talked with him: "Our store sells the best and makes the most profit, not fish and sheep, Bazhen duck and other expensive prices. The dishes are not fried orchid beans, mixed with coriander and bean skin, but mid-range dishes such as agate meat and hibiscus soup. When Langjun returns to Guixiang Garden, you can check the detailed account to see if it is the same."

    "I say this, not to say that luxury and expensive prices are bad, but to say that we do not only have the path of 'luxury' to take."

    Shen Kee's business is really good, and the couch outside waiting for a seat was never vacant, but due to the location, venue and source of customers, this store is about to develop like this.

    Shen Shaoguang was not unimpressed by what Shao Jie proposed, but it cost a lot to buy the big wine shop in the East City, and the money in his hand is not too rich. Besides, the luxury restaurant has luxury The way to operate a restaurant needs to be explored again. To be sure, to make money, Shen Shaoguang had another idea - to find a middle-to-high-end Lifang, and open a branch that completely replicates our store.

    Shao Jie frowned and thought about it, "Little lady continued."

      Selling a lunch is too low cost-effective compared to the high land price and the same investment of labor and energy.

    Shao Jie, how can you not know this problem? Therefore, from the very beginning, what was proposed was to open a "big wine shop" - a large restaurant, which is luxurious and can make a name for itself.

    At this time, the emphasis is on "time-honored brands". There are few branches in the same city, but many want to go to the east and west markets to "prove the Tao". Opening a store in the east and west markets is a proof of strength and a dream of many buyers and sellers. Shao Jie had always been limited by the times, and Shao Jie also had the same idea. At this time, when he heard Shen Shaoguang say that he would find another place like Chongxian to open a store exactly like this one, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

    "But how does the little lady ensure that every store can do this?"

    The quality of each branch is different, even in future catering enterprises, it is a big problem, but fortunately, everyone has also explored some methods, such as standardization.

     "The recipes are the same in each store. We formulate the procedures and recipes for various dishes. The chefs have been trained and strive to be as good as one hundred people."

    Shao Jie squinted and smiled and pointed at Shen Shaoguang: "Hundreds of people—little lady's ambition is not small."

    Shen Shaoguang's cake painting became more and more endless: "If it is true, if the store is opened to Luoyang, Bianzhou, and Beidu, a hundred people may not be enough."

    Shao Jie laughed, talking to the little lady, it was so happy!

    However, Shao Jie also raised a question: "It's just like this, I'm afraid the recipe will be easily leaked and people will learn it."

    "Some things, such as sauces, sauces, pickled goods, and even semi-finished products of some dishes can be made uniformly and sent to each branch every day." Shen Shaoguang is talking about the concept of the central kitchen in the future. . It's just that there is no cold chain at this time, transportation is not convenient for later generations, and there is a curfew, which is not so convenient.

    "The division of labor can also be refined, the vegetable cutting is responsible for cutting vegetables, the frying meat is responsible for frying the meat, and the stuffing is responsible for adjusting the stuffing. In this way, even if there is any leakage, it will be limited. "

      , the slaves carry the master's property and steal the master's property, and the punishment is particularly severe. Without going through the government, all of them were beaten to death by the master, and the "Tang Lu Shu Yi" said that the master "sentences for death and negligent homicide, regardless of the case", so this The slaves of the times have to take great risks when they want to do things that betray their masters.

      The plan is almost ready.

    During the conversation, it seemed that Shen Ji had opened all over the city, and the only thing missing was time and money.

    In this regard, Shen Shaoguang is not in a hurry. She took a sip of rose tea and said with a smile, "Life is endless, and money is endless. Just make it slowly."

    Shao Jie was teased by her again, thought about it, and said what she thought: "If my family spends some money to partner with the little lady, how will the little lady feel?" Shao Jie is an opinion Face to face with gongs and drums, in business, with friends and partners, especially to be honest. For the sake of some money, a friend is not a friend, and a partner is not a partner. How can it be a man?

    "I saw that the little lady's business was sure to make money, so I wanted to share a piece of the pie. It's just that there are no people in my family who are very familiar with the restaurant, so this restaurant is still in charge of the little lady. We only go out Money, it's good to share some interest."

    Shen Shaoguang really admires this ancient man, the shareholding system…

    Shen Shaoguang likes Shao Jie's attitude and is willing to work with him, but when it comes to large amounts of money and long-term cooperation, always be cautious, Shen Shaoguang told him what he meant.

    Shao Jie said with a smile, "Even if the little lady agreed immediately, I couldn't get the money. I have to tell my grandfather about such a thing." , there is no private wealth.” To do business in partnership, it requires the consent of the elders of the patriarch.

    Shao Jie sighed: "Little lady, but I have more money. I saw an excellent ancient knife that day, I gritted my teeth a few times, but I was not willing to buy it."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled.

    Shao Jie suddenly remembered that the little lady seemed to be absent from both parents. This kind of words seemed a bit harsh, and in a rare manner, he said, "Don't mind, I usually like to talk nonsense."

    Shen Shaoguang really laughed this time. Shao Langjun, who is so frank and cunning, is really cute!
