About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

On the second day, in order to taste the delicacies made by the imperial food monks, especially the delicacies that were highly praised by You Shuangjiang and Li Fengzhi, the Yang family set out in a grand way. Gudfu, who was staying at the Wankelai Inn, was also sent to Wankelai by a carriage sent by the Yang family. The distance from Wankelai Inn to Su Chunlai Restaurant is not close, but compared to Su Chunlai Restaurant, the Yang family's other catering businesses are smaller in scale and are all restaurants. They are not as high-end as Su Chunlai Restaurant and do not have as many ingredients. reserve.

After all, in this world, compared to restaurants, restaurants take the cheap and popular route. Therefore, it is extremely important to control costs, and if you want to do that, the best way is to control the types of dishes to reduce the types of ingredients that need to be purchased. This can improve the utilization rate of ingredients and prevent certain ingredients from being used for certain reasons. Dishes are wasted when no one orders them for a long time.

Although, if equipped with a space ring, it can ensure that the ingredients will not spoil for a long time. Being able to equip a space ring is a bit of a luxury in itself, and to be able to use a space ring, at least one monk must be able to use it. Mortals have no spiritual power and cannot use space rings to store things. Even if the space ring magnet like Yang Yuyao exists, it is possible to significantly reduce this part of the cost, but the ingredients, like other raw materials that need to be processed, have problems with profit conversion efficiency.

If a certain ingredient has not been used for a long time, it will become a backlog of inventory, which means that the money invested in purchasing the ingredients will not be returned in the long term. Since the prices of the dishes themselves are high in high-end restaurants, they can be less concerned about the long backlog of ingredients. But for restaurants that tend to be cheap, because the consumption amount is generally low, if the funds cannot be circulated, it will be a big problem.

Yang Ningxiu told Yang Yuyao that the reason why the Yang family had so many such restaurants was to give the wives and children of their compatriots who had sacrificed a place where they could work in peace and earn money. Although the Xia Kingdom has not had any real wars for many years, soldiers still continue to sacrifice their lives. Even if there is no war, soldiers still need to suppress bandits from time to time, and face threats from monsters and even evil cultivators that appear from time to time. If the senior generals who are high-level monks fail to arrive in time, the group will often be destroyed.

Although the pensions paid by the Xia Kingdom to the fallen soldiers were very generous, they could not just sit back and rest in vain. Although there are fields that can be cultivated by oneself or rented to others, since it is a field, it is definitely not possible to give a piece of wasteland for people to cultivate by themselves, but a land that can be cultivated with a little care.

These lands are usually given to the villages or surrounding lands where the sacrificial soldiers have their registered residence, which means that to manage this land, one has to live in or around the village. If the village has a good atmosphere, then there's no problem. What I'm afraid of is that orphans and widowers in villages with bad social customs will be bullied. Therefore, if the wives and children of these sacrificed comrades are willing, the Yang family will lease the fields allocated to them in the name of the Yang family, and then arrange some work for them. When they work on the Yang family's property, it is equivalent to being protected by the Yang family. Even if others are eyeing the large sum of money they got because of their family's sacrifice, they dare not mess with it.

After all, these orphans and widowed mothers are the lowest level of civilians. They have no abilities and even their appearance is average. Therefore, high-end restaurants such as Su Chunlai Restaurant would definitely not dare to hire such people. Those restaurants are suitable. People who go to restaurants to eat are satisfied if the food is cheap, delicious and plentiful. But those who choose high-end restaurants to dine are very concerned about service. If you are beautiful, smart, sweet-tongued, and preferably can tell a suitable joke and sing a ditty to make the guests happy, then the guests will definitely be more willing to spend more.

In addition, the environment must be strictly cleaned and spotless, and the food is very particular about the knife work and presentation. It is also very particular about the tea that is brewed for the guests to rinse their mouths, and the temperature at which it is brewed, how long it is brewed, and when it is served to the guests. Most of the orphans and widowed mothers cannot do these things. Even if they are asked to learn, it will be difficult for them to learn. It’s not that they don’t work hard enough when studying, but when a person suddenly comes into contact with a world that spans several levels of their own, and faces customers who they couldn’t even imagine how rich they are, how do they want to learn well? Contact with them is almost as difficult as learning all the rules of a new world.

In addition, even if you do not need to show up as a chef, you still need to be wary of traps hidden in the convoluted words of guests or inspectors. Court disputes and family disputes are often the easiest. The only way to do this is to find fault with your opponent's industry and bring it down. Of course, it would be even better if the other party himself made a big mistake. And since we are going to do it, we must focus on industries with extremely high profits.

Those like brothels and dance studios are definitely the first to be plotted. Although the Yang family was ridiculed by others for not having such an industry, Yang Yuyao thought this was good. Otherwise, if he really becomes the head of the family, even if there is such an property, he will clean it up. He doesn't like such a place.

Needless to say, the brothel, even though it is a famous check-in place for time-travel novels, is essentially a place where women are sold as commodities. In this world, places like Dance Bands do not openly show that they are doing this kind of business as brothels. Those musicians, dancers, and their lives are also in the hands of the directors of the Dance Bands. If anyone Those who are favored by dignitaries will also be sold.

People in this world don't think this is a big deal, but Yang Yuyao can't accept it. Fortunately, the Yang family does not have such an industry. Excluding these industries with extremely high profits and taxes, the Yang family's high-profit industries are like the Wankelai Inn. Although the Su Chunlai Restaurant cannot be regarded as belonging to the Yang family, it is because Its owner, Su Shiman, married into the Yang family and was treated as a highly profitable property of the Yang family.

The orphans and widows helped by the Yang family. Unless they are extremely motivated people, most people will be fine as long as they get by. Therefore, they prefer to stay in inconspicuous places like restaurants. You can be calm and steady, don't have to worry about it, and think twice about every word you speak.

In fact, in Yang Yuyao's view, all kinds of noodles, including snail noodles, are very suitable for the restaurant business model. Yang Yuyao remembers that in the original world, in their area, a small shop would Can sell many kinds of powder. However, it is not realistic for this world to operate in such a small shop like that world. In that world, their country had abundant rice production, mature rice flour factories, and cheap food refrigeration technology. But this world has none of these.

The first is rice flour made from pure rice. In this world where rice is not abundant, it can be regarded as a relatively luxurious staple food. The lack of related factories means that at least a series of tools for making rice flour must be equipped. In addition, in order to ensure the fresh taste of rice noodles, they must be sold within a short time on the same day. These greatly increase the cost of making a bowl of rice noodles. This makes rice noodles, currently positioned in this world, not a cheap popular food.

When Goodford arrived at Su Chunlai Restaurant in the Yang family's carriage, the Yang family had already arrived, as well as the stewards involved in the catering industry in the Yang family's industry. Although they could not make the decision to purchase the prescription, they could roughly By understanding the production process, taste and other information, they can judge based on their expertise whether the part of the industrial operation they are responsible for is suitable for adding such a food.

Although Yang Yuyao knew that in order to prepare for this, after Yang Yuyao informed Yang Ningxiu that they were sure that Goodford would come to Xia Capital, the Yang family notified these stewards that if they were not in Xia Capital, they would need to come to Xia Capital to wait. At that time, Yang Yuyao knew that there would be a lot of people coming, but he did not expect that there would be so many. Seeing this formation, Yang Yuyao, as the host, was a little panicked.

"Madam, why haven't you seen the eldest young master? Didn't he come today?" A female manager who looked like Xiaojiabiyu asked Tao Yulian curiously.

"Of course he's here, huh?" Tao Yulian looked in the direction where He Qianqing was standing. She guessed that Yang Yuyao would feel uneasy seeing such a scene, so her eldest son should go to He Qianqing, who would make him feel safe. Looking around, Tao Yulian's eyes immediately found He Qianqing, who was very conspicuous in the crowd, but was surprised to find that Yang Yuyao was not next to him.

Surprised, Tao Yulian continued to search around He Qianqing, and finally found Yang Yuyao hiding himself in the corner closest to He Qianqing with a stand decorated with porcelain bottles. Yang Yuyao seemed to have noticed Tao Yulian's gaze. , a little embarrassment flashed in his eyes. This made Taoyu feel pity for her eldest son's behavior when he was so scared that he hid in the cupboard when he heard that there were guests at home. It was still like this after so many years. Seeing this scene, Tao Yulian felt dumbfounded, but she also found Yang Yuyao like this a bit cute.

Compared with Yang Yuyao, Gudefu, who was informed in advance by Yang Yuyao that many people would come to taste the snail noodles he made to confirm whether they wanted to buy the recipe, was much calmer. Although Goodford was a little surprised to see so many people waiting for him when he arrived, after getting to know everyone here, Goodford was able to communicate with everyone normally without being humble or condescending. Goodford quickly gave a brief introduction to the snail noodles without any special praise, and then brought out the pre-made snail noodles for everyone to taste.

After getting to know Goodford, Yang Yuyao learned that for monks who practice the Imperial Food Path, space rings are one of their very important tools. Although space rings are not cheap, they are still willing to spend huge sums of money to buy them. A space ring to store the food you made.

For these monks, homemade delicacies are their stepping stone. Whether they are selling food or directly operating it to make money, having people taste it in advance can make subsequent negotiations smoother. In addition, it is also a rule to sell food recipes and prepare the dishes in advance for tasting.

For those who want to buy the recipe, regardless of whether they have tried the dishes made by other people who have bought the recipe, they need to try the food made by the creator of this new dish. To make sure that the recipe he bought from this person really tastes like this. What he wants to buy is the correct recipe. The recipe he has tasted from other people who bought the recipe before has not been tasted by that person. Optimization and improvement for people who buy prescriptions.

For those who want to sell the recipe, in order to persuade others to buy the recipe, they must first taste it to those who are interested in buying it, so that they can confirm whether the recipe is worth buying. Of course, making it in front of you is the best way to prove that it is your own dish, but that may lead to someone stealing it for free. Although you still need to personally cook once after the transaction is confirmed, but that must be after the money has been obtained.

Of course, at this point, the transaction may still go bad. If it is the buyer's fault, for example, he feels that the food is too difficult or too cumbersome to make, and Fangzi regrets buying it because it is not worth it. In this case, this The sale can still be terminated, but the seller cannot refund all the money. After all, the buyer has seen the production process of this dish and may have mastered part of the production method, but has not yet received the detailed instructions. Just a recipe for operating steps and precautions.

Because it is equivalent to learning a part, the buyer needs to pay a part of the money. According to the rules, this money is called the observation fee. Of course, if the buyer finds that the dishes made by the seller in person are seriously inconsistent with the taste they tasted before, and is suspected of using someone's name to commit fraud, then the money received must be refunded, otherwise he will only blame himself if he is beaten. It can be said that these rules are relatively effective rules that are finally summarized by the buyers and sellers in this business to protect their interests and avoid default and deception after constant adjustments.

But for Goodford, he is not worried at all that these people from the Yang family want to deceive him. They are Yang Yuyao's family members. Besides, the recipe for making the snail noodles was originally described by Yang Yuyao to him. Goodful made it gropingly, so even if the Yang family didn't want to pay, Goodful would have no objection. He made it in advance, mainly because it takes some time to prepare the unique soup and turn the rice into rice noodles. After all, there are many people who want to taste it, so the portion must be larger.

The seat they are currently in is a small hall in Su Chunlai Restaurant that can be used to hold small banquets for guests. According to Yang Yuyao's request, the original square tables in the hall were put together to form a large table. Chairs are placed against both sides of the wall to make it easier for people to move around. With this arrangement, it is much more convenient for Goodford to put ingredients.

The Yang family and the steward watched with surprise and curiosity as Goodford first placed a large steaming and fragrant soup pot with red spicy oil floating on the surface on the assembled table, and then took out a large pot. It looks like relatively thick white flour food, followed by various ingredients, such as fried golden yuba with large and small air bubbles on the surface, fried duck feet, eggs, and peanuts. . Snail flesh with the shell removed. As well as pickled beans, pickled bamboo shoots, etc.

Then Goodford picked up the noodle bowl prepared for him and began to put these things into the bowl. Judging from his pretended proficiency, Yang Yuyao had no doubt that Gudfu had told himself before that he and his master loved eating snail noodles to the extent that they liked it every day.

"Okay, everyone can start tasting. You can add these ingredients here according to your own preferences." Goodford pointed to the chopped green onion, coriander, ginger, minced garlic, chili, pickled radish and so on. It is so rich that people who have eaten many delicacies are stunned.

"It's actually possible." Su Shiman covered her mouth and whispered to her husband Yang Weidao, "I feel like if I prepare the ingredients, I can make a lot of bowls quickly. This method is quite interesting."

"I think so too." Yang Weidao nodded in agreement.

Then people took a small shallow bowl and filled two bites each and began to taste it. Yang Yuxuan and Yang Yuwei looked at the people who were not afraid of spicy food with envy. They really wanted to give it a try, but they just smelled it. You can smell it spicy. But when they saw that their eldest brother Yang Yuyao was not among the tasting crowd, and even hid far away, they felt less uncomfortable.

"this is!"

“What an amazing taste.”

Those who tasted it opened their eyes wide. They had never eaten anything like this. The first bite, the taste went straight to their foreheads. The textures of different ingredients met in their mouths, elastic, crispy, soft and glutinous. Rich and interesting. However, when I lowered my head to take another bite, I found that the small tasting bowl had bottomed out.

"Friend Gu Dao, please give me a quote. How much do you want for this recipe?" Yang Ningxiu asked with the decision of the head of the Yang family.
