Chang’an Small Restaurant

    Shao Jie is a person who speaks and does things easily. He came to Shen Shaoguang in two days and asked her to meet his grandfather.

    Because of Shen Shaoguang's house, it is inconvenient to go directly to Shao's house with Shao Jie, and the meeting will be arranged at Guixiang Garden in Dongshi.

    According to Shao Jie, the old man is getting old and his legs and feet are not so convenient, but he has to go to the flower cake workshop every day to sit for a while, watch the chefs make cakes, watch the guests buy cakes, sometimes Also eat a piece or two with tea.

      , the look of spirit.

    Shen Shaoguang stepped forward to give a salute, saying "Shao Gong Wan Fu".

    The old man of the Shao family smiled and said, "Little lady, please don't be too polite." He asked her to sit again.

    Shen Shaoguang sat in the guest seat, Shao Jie sat down under the old man, and the maid brought tea.

      lady.

    The Tanabata cake sent to Qin Pushe's mansion a while ago, Mrs. Qin Tai praised "the Shuji looks a little 'elegant'". Mrs. Qin Tai was a noble lady of a family all her life. She was a well-known talented woman in the capital when she was young. It was really good to be praised by her as "elegant". There are also many officials, scholars, and merchants from other places living in Chongrenfang who come to buy flower cakes.

    In this case, Mr. Shao has heard a lot in the store these days. Even if he doesn't get actual profits, these reputations alone are already wealth. Understand the value of "name". What's more, the ledger also shows that with these changes proposed by Jiulang, almost every month, compared with the same time last year, there are 30 to 40% more profit.

    It's a pity that it was a little lady from another family who came up with this idea...

    Old Man Shao regretted in his heart, but politely said: "Someone wants to thank Mrs. Shen first. I heard from Jiulang that the freshness of the flower cakes in the small shop is all directed by Mrs. They all compliment."

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly said modestly: "How dare you call the word 'pointing', but it's just a little idea of ​​selling cakes in our store. If you can win Shao Langjun's eyes, you are willing to try it in your store. It's an honor."

    "Little lady can come up with so many ways at such a young age, she is really wise." Old Man Shao praised again.

     "Just be careful, please don't laugh at Duke Shao."

    The old man and the young man made two more polite sentences, and then gradually came to the point.

    "Kiulang said that the little lady is interested in opening a branch in another square, why not go to Dongxi Market?"

    Shen Shaoguang analyzed what he had said to Shao Jie again, and smiled again: "It's good to open a big wine shop in the Dongxi market, but it's more risky than doing the same thing. ."

    Old man Shao nodded, at such a young age, he was able to bear his temper and mind, and was calm.

      Therefore, the old man Shao attached great importance to the matter of "reputation".

    "Although the east and west cities have a large flow of people, they can create a reputation faster, but opening a store in each square, as long as they can stand, they can also get a solid reputation. Shao Weng imagined that if the southeast of Chang'an City was In the Northwest Middle School, there is a branch every few squares, making agate meat and jade **** become the things that everyone wants to eat when their mouths are dull, and can be eaten within a few steps. After a long time, this can even become a generation. Taste memories…”

    Old man Shao laughed, the little lady is articulate.

    Shao Jie is quite proud, is the person I fancy...

    Shen Shaoguang smiled, whether the countryside surrounds the city, or the city pushes the countryside, each has its own advantages, it depends on whether it is suitable or not.

    "I wonder if Shao Langjun ever mentioned to Shao Gong that he went to Qujiang to set up a stall during the festival?"

    This Shao Jie did not say that Shaojia Hua Cake also started from a small stall, and Old Man Shao looked at Shen Shaoguang with interest.

    Shen Shaoguang told him about the experience of setting up a stall in Qujiang several times, "At that time, many customers who bought food and drink by the river later came to Chongxianfang for dinner, and it became a small shop There are a lot of people in the east and west markets, and we can also occasionally bring people here with 'mobile food trucks' to sell some special snacks, not to make money, but to gain a familiar face and gain some popularity." Shen Shaoguang proposed clearly It is the concept of the pop-up store in later generations.

    Such a concept is naturally advanced, but it is not completely beyond reality and inoperable, Old Man Shao's cloudy eyes flashed, "Little lady, this plan is very good!"

    Old man Shao is a lifetime old businessman. Some of them have experience, while Shen Shaoguang has experienced the cheapness of traveling. He has broad vision and thousands of years of accumulation. He also talked about some more detailed methods of creating reputation, issues such as dishes and reputation "real" and "empty". Among them, Shao Jie has heard of it, has he heard of it, has thought about it himself, or has it Thinking of it, at this time, it sounds a little more comprehensible.

     Having talked so much with this little lady Shen, the regret of the old man Shao is even deeper, unfortunately it is not his own descendant!

    With such an agreement, cooperation is naturally no problem. As for the more detailed matters such as the ratio of money and money between the two parties, the old man handed it over to Shao Jie. He is not too young, and he should practice more One practice.

    Old man Shao has his own mind. When Mrs. Shen left, Old Man Shao tortured Shao Jie who had sent him back: "Jiulang, tell me, are you interested in someone's little lady?"

    Shao Jie immediately made a strange expression, "How can Aweng be like Grandma, when she sees a beautiful little lady, she wants to marry her?"

    Old man Shao glared at him: "You are not too young, it should have been settled."

    Old man Shao frowned again, "It's not like this little lady is a daughter of an aristocratic family..." There are quite a few merchants in Beijing who marry women from a downcast family. Fallen old people will lose some benefits.

    Seeing that my grandfather was still thinking about it, Shao Jie hurriedly said: "Kiss Aweng, it's really not that interesting!"

    "If this little lady is a son, I will marry her and Yang Langsan. This little lady is really smart and bright, but grandson—" Shao Jie paused and said with a cheeky smile, "Grandson thinks marrying a bride is sweeter and softer..." The account book that the old man threw over the last few words was silenced.

    "Don't be ashamed!" Shao old man laughed.

    The old man was annoyed and muttered: "If you don't have a son and grandson who can read and hyphenate, you can't even marry an educated grandson-in-law. What a bad life!"

    Shao Jie: "..." To tell the truth, Mrs. Shen is really nice, she talks knowledgeably, makes money, has articulateness, means, and people are cool and interesting, even pretty, but I don't know. Why, Shao Jie doesn't think much about her, but has some feeling for those well-educated classmates when he was studying...

    Soon Shao Jie found out that, fortunately, there was nothing to think about, otherwise it would be sad.

    The old man of the Shao family agreed, and the cooperation to open a branch was put on the agenda. In order to avoid suspicion, Shao Jie turned out to be unwilling to take part in the management, but Shen Shaoguang refused to let him do so—the labor that he got for free is not for nothing.

    Shao Jie is also a happy person. Since the little lady doesn't mind, then just mix it in. In the past, he used to be "keeping a business", but now it means "starting a business", and Shao Jie was still a little excited.

    The two have roughly divided their work. Shen Shaoguang is responsible for recipe formulation, food quality control, service training, brand planning and advertising marketing, while Shao Jie is responsible for the "outreach" part, buying people , site selection, buying a house, contacting suppliers…

    The site selection is the top priority. For this reason, Shao Jie rides around Chang'an City when he has nothing to do, and also makes appointments with people in the real estate. If you want to "shop around", one is to do business in partnership, and you always have to ask Mrs. Shen.

    On this day, Shao Jie came to Shen Shaoguang with the pictures of two or three stores.

    Shen Shaoguang invited him to sit and served tea and fruit.

    Shao Jie was a little hot as he rode on horseback. He smiled when he saw the cool honey bean butter in the bowl.

    Without a spoon, he picked up the bowl and thumped half of the bowl into it. The bottom of the bowl was full of honey beans. Shao Jie took a small spoon and scooped it slowly. Greasy like red bean cake."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled complacently, "Shao Langjun will try this 'fisherman's three fresh foods' again."

    Shao Jie laughed again.

    The so-called "fisherman's three freshness" are water chestnut, lotus root and lotus seed, which are common to fishermen, hence the name. This is not Shen Shaoguang's creation, but it was said in the "Mountain Family Clearance" before, but at this time it was just picking up other people's wisdom.

    "If you don't know how to cook, you will be able to support yourself just by taking the name."

    Shen Shaoguang waved his hand, "This is what it looked like in the book, but—I've thought about similar issues before, if I wasn't a cook, I'd probably be a nun or a female crown. , Relying on the ability to run a horse with a mouth full of horses, unraveling a lot for others, etc., I can probably live on."

    Shao Jie laughed.

    It was the end of July, water chestnut, lotus root and lotus seeds were very tender, with the moist water vapor of the pond, very delicious.

    Shen Shaoguang asked Shao Jie to taste the chicken head rice chestnut cake on another plate.

    Shao Jie took a bite, "Delicious! How did you do it?"

    He asked without any burden, and Shen Shaoguang answered simply: "The gorgon is ground into powder, stir-fried, mixed with cooked glutinous rice noodles and a little sugar to make the skin, which is the new head that came off this autumn. Don’t put too much sugar in the stuffing made of chestnuts, it’s greasy.”

    Shao Jie nodded, remembering that chicken head rice is also a product in the water, and said with a smile: "This is combined with water chestnuts and the like, should it be regarded as 'fisher father four fresh'?"

    The old **** Shen Shaoguang put up a finger on the ground and waved it, "No, no, there are chestnuts in it. Chestnuts are produced in the mountains, and gorgonians are produced in the water, so this cake is called 'fishing' The woodcutter'."

    Shao Jie: "..." Once again, I have the feeling of facing those classmates who endorsed such as eating melons and writing and always making the husband draw double circles. I really want to beat them with sacks. , but look at Lady Shen's pretty face, that's all...

    Shen Xueba raised his eyebrows and faced Shao Xuezhu's gnashing face.

    When Lin Yan came in, he saw the scene of the two facing each other.

    Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie both stood up, Shen Shaoguang greeted the guests, and Shao Jie saluted.

    Lin Yan smiled lightly: "I saw Shao Langjun again."

    Shao Jie answered yes with a smile.

    Shen Shaoguang asked Lin Yan what he wanted to eat, Lin Yan looked at the items on the case of Shao and Shen, smiled and said, "Just feel free."

    Shen Shaoguang had been with him for a long time, he understood what he meant very well, and hurriedly put him in the shoes of a fisherman and a woodcutter.

    Shao Jie didn't finish talking to Shen Shaoguang, so he stepped back and was hesitating, but Lin Shaoyin asked him to sit with him.

    Shao Jie is a talkative person, and his friends are not boring. At this time, Lin Shaoyin, who is not very talkative to an official, can't help but feel uncomfortable, so he has to eat on the table What to say: "Shen Ji's 'fisherman's three fresh food' is very tender, Shao Yin tastes it."

    Lin Yan nodded and took a few lotus seeds to eat.

    "This gorgonian chestnut cake is also very good, sweet but not greasy." Suddenly I remembered the name of Mrs. Shen, "Oh, this cake also has a nickname, it's called 'Yuqiao Cake'. "

    Lin Yan glanced at Shen Shaoguang who was drinking tea, curled the corners of his lips, and chose a dish name so narrowly.

    Shao Jie only felt that Lin Shaoyin's smile was quite like the melting of ice and snow in early spring and on a warm and windy day, and he couldn't help feeling once again how important a good dish name is.

    "Does Shao Langjun also live in this workshop? It's not often seen."

    It was rare for Lin Shaoyin to speak, and it was not a secret matter, so Shao Jie told the whole story.

    Lin Yan nodded, "Which workshop?"

    Shao Jie was a little surprised, so the solemn and quiet Jingzhao Shaoyin actually asked this? Could it be something profound?

    But he heard him say to Mrs. Shen who was leaving with the tray, "Don't be too busy, don't you want to discuss with Shao Langjun about choosing a new store location?"

    Miss Shen also sat down on the side of the table.

    Shao Jie: “…”

    Shao Jie took out the picture he drew from his sleeve. This picture is not very detailed, but it is just to see the meaning, "This is in Yongchangfang, at the corner of the main street, it is half the size of our store, it is open inside, there are few beams and columns, and the layout is quite good, but the price is a bit expensive; this Not far from Yonglefang, it is a little smaller. It used to be a grocery store, and it is a little old. If you buy it, the doors, windows and floors will have to be redone..."

    After listening to him, Shen Shaoguang was still thinking, Lin Yan had already said: "Yongchangfang is not suitable. The sage wants to build a princess mansion for Princess Guangping, and Yongchang was chosen."

    Princess Guangping is the sister of Jinshang's same mother. She is very favored. If half of the place is in the workshop, how many customers are there left?

    Shao Jie was about to thank him, but he felt that something was wrong, but when he looked up, he saw Lin Shaoyin pick up the three-flowered cat in the store, touched the cat's face, touched the cat's head, scratched his chin, and then Smooth hair constantly.

    Shao Jie glanced at Mrs. Shen, who had a serious face and was still looking at the picture, and then looked at Lin Shaoyin, who was very relaxed with the cat, and felt like he knew something, fortunately , fortunately...

    The author has something to say:  Shao Jie, who finally understood: Fortunately, I like soft and sweet girls.

    I just dealt with a "rival in love" and showed off a lot of love, Lin Shaoyin: Is my daughter-in-law sweet enough? Oh, you can't feel it, and it's fine.
