The afternoon wind blew gently, blowing away many of the dark clouds in the sky, revealing a clear blue sky, and the sunlight filtered through the bamboo shadows and left mottled traces in the courtyard.
Su Yue walked out of the kitchen, turned back to Xiang Xiang and told her, "I have to ask you to take care of Erya for me again. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Vanilla nodded repeatedly, huffing and puffing, her mouth was red, and she couldn't speak at all.
She was eating Su Yue's new delicacies, including duck neck, duck paws, and chicken. They were fragrant, spicy, and delicious. They were so delicious that they immediately conquered her taste buds. Su Yue said this was called braised food.
Seeing her like this, Su Yue could only shake her head helplessly, but she was relieved to leave Erya to her.
Today she made braised food.
Braised food is an ancient traditional Chinese delicacy with a long history. It first appeared in the palace and was a dish in the emperor's imperial dining room.
Later, it was slowly introduced to the people. As the inheritor of a family of royal chefs, Su Yue naturally has the oldest and most comprehensive collection of braised food books. Combined with modern improvements, the taste is unparalleled.
Based on Vanilla's reaction, Su Yue guessed that in this fictitious dynasty, braised food had not yet been introduced to the people, or perhaps it had only begun to take shape in the palace.
So she specially brought some to Bafang Ke and asked the shopkeeper to try them.
Noon is the busiest time for restaurant business.
When Su Yue arrived at Bafangke, the shopkeeper was standing behind the counter with a smile on her face, looking at her abacus, and she didn't know how happy she was.
Su Yue curled her lips, stepped forward and shouted: "The shopkeeper is so happy, did he find the money?"
The shopkeeper raised his head when he heard Su Yue's voice, and his smile became even brighter.
"Of course I'm happier than picking up money. I've picked up a money tree!!"
Su Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "The shopkeeper is moving so fast? This hot pot will be on sale now."
The shopkeeper nodded and pushed the account book directly in front of Su Yue.
"Today at noon, a total of ten private rooms ordered hot pot, and the total profit after deducting the capital was more than two hundred taels!"
With more than two hundred taels, Su Yue can divide it into four or five taels, and this is just the beginning.
What the shopkeeper sells is extremely expensive for ordinary people. A meal costs about twenty taels, but for those with money, twenty taels is nothing.
Su Yue lifted the food box and placed it on the counter with a nonchalant look, then changed the subject and said, "Shopkeeper, try the braised food I made."
After enjoying hot pot, beef balls, shrimp and other delicacies, Su Yong only had to ask what Youxin was cooking, and the shopkeeper was very excited.
When he opened the food box and looked at the red stuff inside, which looked like duck feet, duck neck, and chicken soaked in chili oil, the shopkeeper couldn't help but salivate.
You can tell at first glance that this stuff is sure to stimulate your taste buds.
In fact, at the age of the shopkeeper, the taste has become very bland, but the ability to appreciate food is still there.
He couldn't wait to twist a small piece of duck neck and put it into his mouth.
The fragrant and spicy feeling filled the mouth, and the shopkeeper's face turned red, but he couldn't help but continue eating.
Especially when chewing to the bone, the spicy oil soaking out is simply too enjoyable.
He couldn't help but taste the other ones, and the tip of his nose was so spicy that he sweated.
The shopkeeper was informal and wiped his fingers clean, and then said to Su Yue:
"Another rare delicacy, you are really my cash cow."
Su Yue curled her lips and said with a smile: "This is my exclusive recipe and cannot be easily passed on to others."
The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this and narrowed his eyes like a profiteer.
"This matter is easy to discuss. We can always do business, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought this braised food to me to try."
Su Yue said half-jokingly: "The shopkeeper is smart and can't hide anything from you."
The shopkeeper looked at Su Yue with a very kind look, and said with a smile: "My surname is Tao, I am older than you, you can call me Uncle Tao from now on, no need to meet anyone else.
With that, Tao Bo walked out of the counter and said to Su Yue: "Let's go to the private room to talk."
"Okay, Uncle Tao." Su Yue didn't notice and shouted sweetly.
Now she has to work in the Jiang family. If she wants to make money and save trouble, she has to rely on Tao Bo. Of course, this is a win-win cooperation between them.
When they arrived at the private room, Su Yue said straight to the point; "I can't teach you how to make this braised food, but I can only cooperate with Bafang customers. This braised food is only provided to Bafang customers.
But there are still a few requests, and I hope Tao Bo can be accommodating. "
Tao Bo smiled and said, "You tell me."
Su Yue directly stated her request.
“I provide braised food once every two days, no more than thirty kilograms at a time, and I need customers from all over the world to provide me with fresh ingredients.
I charge thirty taels for a braised meal. I wonder what Mr. Tao thinks? "
A kilogram of this braised meat costs one or two silver, which is equivalent to the living expenses of an ordinary person for a month, and this does not include the cost of chickens and ducks.
Shopkeeper Tao hesitated for a moment.
However, Su Yue poured two cups of tea leisurely and pushed one cup in front of Shopkeeper Tao.
She naturally knew that the price she set was high, but things were rare and expensive, and in ancient times this braised food was reserved exclusively for the imperial dining room, which meant that only the emperor could eat it.
She had no intention of doing business for ordinary people. Those rich people's money would not be in vain unless they made money.
This is the same truth whether in modern times or in ancient times.
If everyone can afford this braised food, then no one can be rare. What she wants is that the supply exceeds demand. After all, scarcity is the most valuable thing.
Shopkeeper Tao was still hesitant, but after savoring the unique taste in his mouth, he finally gritted his teeth and said;
"Okay, let's try it first. What do you think?"
After all, this is not a small price. Su Yue naturally understood Shopkeeper Tao's mood, so she smiled and said, "Okay, the shopkeeper can prepare the things today. I will come over in the evening to take them home and deliver them again tomorrow morning.
If it sells well, I can make more delicious food. "
Braised meat includes not only chicken and duck, but also pig head, pig ears, fat intestine, pig lung, pig heart, etc.
The last time she sold meat, Su Yue happened to encounter the butchers killing pigs, and found that they didn't want the pigs to go into the water.
And pig offal is a good thing for making braised food.
After the matter was agreed upon, Su Yue said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and she had to prepare the ingredients for making braised food.
But at this moment, the waiter's helpless voice suddenly came from the door of the room.
"Ms. Zhu, you really can't go in, the shopkeeper is discussing business!"
"Go away, you dare to block my way, don't you? Believe it or not, I will beat you up."
"Miss Zhu, please don't embarrass me."
"Get out of here, get out of here, Miss."
Listening to the commotion outside the private room, shopkeeper Tao immediately stood up and started to walk out, but stopped before taking two steps and said to Su Yue;
"You rest here for a while, I'll go out and take a look."
Su Yue was not someone who liked to join in the fun, so she said, "Uncle Tao, go and do your work and don't worry about me."
