Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

The shopkeeper gave Charlotte 100 taels of silver. Charlotte suddenly thought of someone.

"Boss, Ding Dafu didn't come today?"

"Yeah, he hasn't come yet. I'll contact the girl when he comes."

At this time, Manager Zhao of Zuixianlou came in.

"Miss Xia, the boss has been waiting for you for a long time." Shopkeeper Zhao had been here for a while and had been standing outside the door. Seeing Xia Luo busy examining the patient, he didn't feel like urging her. After seeing that she was done, he clasped his fists and spoke to her.

"Okay, your doctor can also come back for a follow-up visit while I'm away. Let me know if there's improvement. I live in Willow Village."

When they arrived at Zuixianlou, Charlotte was still carrying a backpack. The shopkeeper pointed at her backpack, meaning that she should meet the boss and give the backpack to him.

How could Charlotte be willing to give it to him? If the boss wanted something, where would she get it?

"Thank you. I'm used to it. Where is your boss?"

As soon as Xia Luo entered the restaurant, the owner, Xia Yunyuan, saw him from the second-floor window.

Xia Yunyuan. Born in Beijing, his family is in business, his grandfather and his whole generation are businessmen.

In his father's generation, his two uncles were competitive and the father should have been the head of the family, but the second uncle was good at handling things and coaxed his grandparents around, and became the head of the family.

Unfortunately, he had two daughters and married several concubines, but they either didn't give birth or gave birth to daughters. He had no choice but to push his eldest brother's son, Xia Yunyuan, into business. Xia Yunyuan was also smart and opened restaurants one after another. They were doing very well. The second uncle was afraid that his position as the head of the family would be given to his eldest brother's family, so he now united the family and looked for opportunities to suppress them. Xia Yunyuan was also looking for business opportunities when he visited the stores.

Xia Yunyuan saw the little girl, who was elegant and had a spiritual aura, but was a little thin.

Following the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor, he lifted the curtain and looked over. A man was sitting on a chair, looking lazy and looking at Charlotte with an inquiring look.

"Sir, this is Miss Xia." The shopkeeper leaned over to introduce.

"Miss Xia, this is our boss Xia Yunyuan, Master Xia."

"Hello, Mr. Xia, my name is Xia Luo."

"We all have the surname Xia, and we have been one family for five hundred years. You are younger than me, so how about calling me big brother?" Xia Yunyuan felt very close to Xia Luo when he saw her, just like a younger sister.

"It's better to obey than to be respectful. Brother Xia." Xia Luo was quite surprised. Coming to the restaurant, he got a big brother. It was a good deal. It would be good for him to get in touch with these successful people in the future.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that your braised meat is excellent and brings a lot of profit to the restaurant. What other dishes do you have? Can you show them to us today?"

"I want to try Sister Xia's cooking, too." Xia Yunyuan said directly, asking Xia Luo to cook. They would discuss cooperation after the meal.

"Brother, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon." Charlotte didn't want to waste time talking to him. When ancient people were polite, it was really cumbersome.

After entering the kitchen, Charlotte asked Chef Zheng to take out the pork belly and prepare a mandarin fish. She planned to make braised pork and squirrel mandarin fish.

Soak the pork belly in cold water for fifteen minutes, rub it with flour to wash off the dust on the surface, rinse it three times, then put it in a pot with cold water, add onion, ginger, and cooking wine, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam.

Take out, rinse with hot water, and drain until dry. Heat the pan, add the pork belly and stir-fry until both sides are browned.

Then add rock sugar, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a little salt and pepper.

Add hot water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes, simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, then simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens, serve, and put on a plate.

In less than an hour, the two dishes were ready.

When the two dishes were served to Xia Yunyuan, he was stunned before he even started eating.

Especially the squirrel mandarin fish, it looks just like a squirrel! It’s perfect!

"Brother Xia, you can taste it before making a judgment." Charlotte smiled.

The braised pork is delicious and not greasy, and the squirrel fish is sweet and sour and appetizing.

Only after Xia Yunyuan had finished both dishes did he look up at Xia Luo.

"I've eaten cuisines from all over the country, but this is the first time I've eaten such delicious food. The meat is fragrant and not greasy, and the fish is sweet and sour. It's really a delicacy."

"Then, Brother Xia, if we launch these two dishes in the restaurant, do you think the restaurant's diners will go to other restaurants to eat?"

"Sister Xia, your cooking is really amazing. How about we work together?"

"If you cook two dishes every week, I will give you 10% of the profits from all the restaurants." Xia Yunyuan has more than a dozen restaurants in total, and 10% of the profits from all the restaurants is not a small amount. The shopkeepers were confused.

"I cook all the dishes because I have good seasonings. If you want to buy seasonings from me, it will cost you a lot of money. Why don't we cooperate to open a seasoning factory? This will also solve the seasoning problem. I will make money and you will not suffer any loss."

"And I'm also planning to open a small medicinal material processing factory. How about we do it together?" It doesn't matter if I open one factory or two factories. I might as well use the seasoning factory as a cover, and I will also have a clear path to pill production.

"Okay, I'll take you as my sister. As a brother, I definitely believe in your ability. Let's do this. I'll take the money, the restaurant's profit will remain at 10%, and the factory's profit will be split 50-50. You'll be in charge of production, and I'll be in charge of promotion. What do you think?"

"We can't let big brother take the risk with the money alone. It would be more reasonable for Sister Xia to invest half and then distribute it according to big brother's ideas."

It was impossible for Charlotte to let someone she had just met invest all the money. What if something changed one day? Wouldn't that be cheating them? Also, if they really made money over time, she would not feel at ease with a 50-50 split.

"Okay, then let's sign the agreement as my sister wishes. Let's go choose a venue tomorrow when it's free."

The agreement was signed.

Afterwards, Charlotte showed Master Zheng and his friends the cooking procedures for the braised pork and squirrel fish, asking them to practice more, as details determine success or failure.

Charlotte was thinking about Zimo's schooling, so she planned to inquire whether the school was still accepting students, after all, the enrollment period had passed.

"Sister Xia, I will accompany you to Yuejian Academy."

"Thank you, Brother Xia. I was just worried that no one would ask." There is a pillow when you are sleepy. Charlotte agreed immediately.

When they arrived at the academy in Xia Yunyuan's carriage, the gatekeeper went inside to report when he heard that the person was the dean's student.

The dean came out to greet us personally.

"Yunyuan, you haven't come to see me for more than a year." The dean smiled and didn't put on airs at all.

"Teacher, look, I'm here. This is my sister, Xia Luo." Xia Yunyuan introduced.

"Oh, come on in, come on, have some tea."

After everyone sat down, Xia Yunyuan explained the purpose of his visit.

"Bring the young master here tomorrow and let me see him. If he is smarter than ordinary people, I will be more than happy to have him. If he is just ordinary in intelligence, then we can start from the beginning." That means he has accepted it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Dean. Charlotte is here to pay his respects." Charlotte bowed politely.

After paying respects to the dean, Charlotte looked at the time and found that it was already past noon.

"Sister, let's go to the restaurant to have some food." Xia Yunyuan looked at Xia Luo's thin body. He had eaten braised pork and fish, but Xia Luo had not had a drop of water so far.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xia. I'll take my leave here. After I look at the factory address tomorrow, I'll treat you to another delicious meal. I also hope you can give me more suggestions."

"Really been waiting."

Xia Yunyuan took a car back to the restaurant.

Charlotte is planning to buy a car so that it will be convenient for her to travel back and forth.

Take Zimo to school by car.

Pick him up, by car.

I am going to build a house soon and I will need a car to buy materials.
