The Male Wife

On the second day, Pei Cheng was busy looking at the decoration of the dim sum shop. He didn't want to make any major changes. He changed all the furnishings and furnishings in the house, and then asked someone to repaint the wooden paint in the house again.

When the dim sum shop was being redecorated, Pei Cheng also spent a day re-discussing with the pastry shop manager about the future pastries to be sold in the shop.

Supporting his chin, Pei Cheng wrote down two simple pastry making methods on the paper with a pen. These two pastry methods were extremely popular in both the imperial capital and Hwaseong two years later. Because of the reputation of the shop, Pei Cheng With a shy face, he wrote out the pastry recipe that would not be announced two years later. The steward and the cook's eyes lit up, "These two pastries are unheard of. Sweet cake... simple and complex, this taste will definitely be good!"

Pei Cheng was a little guilty. The recipes for these two dim sums were not actually thought up by him, but were borrowed from the person who came up with the recipes two years later. He still remembered that these two dim sums were only popular in the imperial capital in the last life. Later, when the believers in Baihou Mansion sent him a letter, they also sent him these two methods of making dim sum in the letter, and then Pei Cheng sold these two pastries in his own dim sum shop. Make your own shop sell well in Huacheng.

Pei Cheng also liked the taste of these two new snacks at the beginning, so he tried to make them a few times when he was at home, and the taste was not bad, so he remembered these two methods so clearly, Pei Cheng coughed With a sound, I dare not look at the admiring eyes of the steward and the cook, "This taste will be good. If possible, let's treat these two dim sum as signature dim sum. You can't cook too much every day, so sell... [-] If there are too many copies, it will not be sold. "

"Why?" The cook is a reckless man who only knows how to sweat profusely in the kitchen, and he was puzzled when he heard the words, "If the sales are good, we should find a few more helpers and sell more every day. The reputation of the shop spread?"

The steward was transferred from the Wuwu Pavilion, but he didn't stay in the Wuwu Pavilion long enough, and he was usually busy with other things, so now he was transferred to the dim sum shop to be the steward of Pei Cheng.

At first, the steward thought that the husband's wife was just an ordinary husband and wife who only knew how to look at short-term benefits, but didn't know what long-term benefits were. But now he has completely changed his previous thoughts on Pei Cheng.

A person who knows how to cast a long line to catch big fish is simply impossible to be the only one who shows ignorance, the manager's eyes are full of admiration, "Madam is right, the best way to do business is to take a long line to catch big fish .Cook, just do what Madam said, only make [-] servings of pastries a day, and don’t make too many.”

"Will it work?" The cook wondered, he can make pastries, but he doesn't know how to run a shop, otherwise he would have bought his own shop in the imperial capital based on his cooking skills.

"Yes." Pei Cheng firmly said that this method is also a method for merchants to retain customers that became popular two years later, but he heard that this method was offended by many people when it became popular at the beginning. A shop that ate crabs was smashed by someone.

Thinking of this, Pei Cheng's tone was a little hesitant, "But at the beginning of doing this, there will definitely be people offended. This emperor has no shortage of powerful and wealthy people. If you just offend people like this, wouldn't it be..."

"No." The steward reassured Pei Cheng, "The shop is close to Wuwu Pavilion, if something happens, it won't be smashed because I'm worried that Pei Cheng will be deliberately suppressed by local snakes when he starts doing business in the imperial capital. , so Jiang Linzhi told people early on that if the dim sum shop was in trouble as soon as it opened, the people from Wuwu Pavilion would definitely arrive as soon as possible.

Besides, there are still them in this shop, and they will never let Pei Cheng get hurt.

"Well, that's right." Pei Cheng remembered another thing, and said directly: "There are several dried fruit preserves in the shop that almost taste the same. I went to a few and bought two new ones..."

"Huh?" The steward took notes on a piece of paper, "Madam, what new ideas do you have?"

"Has someone in the imperial capital made... reunion cakes?" Pei Cheng remembered that it was around this time that Huacheng introduced the reunion cakes from Huacheng. The dough of the reunion cakes is very simple, but the fillings inside are extraordinarily rich. Dried fruit stuffing, jam stuffing, lotus seed stuffing... These things are pinched, and then carefully fried with lard until the outer skin is browned and browned. When it comes out of the pan, the taste is really amazing.

"Reunion cake?" The cook and the steward were both startled.

Pei Cheng knew that they hadn't eaten it yet, so he simply said: "Let the boy buy some lotus seeds later, steam them and crush them, then make them with bread, print some fancy patterns, and finally fry them in lard, and peel the skins It is fried brown and the stuffing inside is cooked through, so it tastes great."

"The process of this reunion cake sounds uncomplicated, but it is fried with lard. Although the taste is definitely good, it is too complicated and the cost is high." Dao strength, did not ask Jiang Linzhi for money, but used his own private treasury to decorate the shop.

Pei Cheng doesn't have a lot of money, so if he uses his original capital to open a store after the decoration is over, it will take some time to pay back if it sells well, but if it doesn't sell well, then Pei Cheng has worked so hard to save money all these years. Didn't all the money go to waste?

Knowing that Pei Cheng doesn't have much money, the manager is extra stingy.

Pei Cheng stopped talking, probably knowing in his heart that his current money would not allow him to do such a thing, in the end, he could only sigh, and said: "Let's talk about the reunion cakes after making some fame. "

In fact, the method of reunion cakes is very simple and not complicated, but the capital required at the beginning is a bit too much, and the poor Pei Cheng has no money to bear it.

"Okay." The steward said, "Is there anything else Madam needs to order?"

Pei Cheng said no more, paused, and let the two go back to rest.The store has not yet been decorated, so these two people don't need to rush to the store now, but rest.

Putting away the papers on the table, Pei Cheng handed the things over to the steward, thinking that it was almost time, so he walked back slowly along the way he came, but when he reached the corner, Pei Cheng didn't Go back toward the left path, but head toward the right path instead.

The road on the right is a very strange road, Pei Cheng walked on the side of the street, looking at the extraordinarily lively streets of the imperial capital, thinking about how much profit this dim sum shop could get from opening on this street.

After walking a few steps, when Pei Cheng was about to reach the restaurant in front of him, he suddenly remembered another more important thing. This dim sum shop opened on such a bustling street, so...how much did Jiang Linzhi spend to make it? Will you buy this shop?

In addition, Pei Cheng suddenly remembered that Jiang Linzhi's house in the imperial capital was not only large, but also the interior layout was very unique. After Jingui Pei Cheng turned the whole house down early the next morning, he overturned the previous house in Huacheng again. At that time, Jiang Linzhi's "rich" view.To be able to own a house of one's own in the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive, is this more than rich?

He began to wonder if Jiang Linzhi had done some shady business behind his back, otherwise why would he have made so much money in just a few years.

Pei Cheng, who had turned from envy to jealousy, had more than once secretly speculated whether Jiang Linzhi might be a black-hearted businessman.While thinking wildly, Pei Cheng raised his foot and walked into the restaurant. As soon as he entered, An Ren, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up quickly. An Ren looked at Pei Cheng, who looked better than a few years ago, and sighed in his heart, but his face was still With a respectful face, "Master Pei, I have been waiting inside for a long time."

Pei Cheng quickened his pace, and followed An Ren into the separate small courtyard room in the backyard of the restaurant. The two walked through a corridor that was neither long nor short, and then stopped in front of a separate small courtyard room. An Ren stood at the door, Pushing open the door, he said, "Master Pei, please."

Without looking at An Ren, Pei Cheng walked in on his own.

Then An Ren followed Pei Cheng's footsteps and walked in, taking advantage of the opportunity to close the door of the box.

Before opening the restaurant, Chu Xun deliberately went back to the mansion, changed his official clothes, and put on a set of ordinary casual clothes. He stood up, looked at Pei Cheng who was approaching him, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Pei Cheng is very good-looking, not tacky, the public's good-looking, but a kind of cool, unique good-looking, and he is still a man, his facial features are born with a little more toughness than women's facial features, so at first glance, he is really very good-looking. nice.

At least he looked better than when Chu Xun saw Pei Cheng for the first time a few years ago.

Chu Xun said: "Long time no see, Brother Pei looks a lot better than before."

Pei Cheng was stunned, and laughed and said: "Brother Chu was joking. I have been busy these days and have no time to care about other things. If you say that I am much uglier, I will believe you. As for good looks, this is a bit exaggerated. "

Chu Xun smiled and said nothing. It’s not that he has never seen beauties before. They are prettier than Pei Cheng. He has never seen many beauties with temperament, but he has never seen a beauty like Pei Cheng who has beauty but doesn’t know it. .

The waiter in the restaurant brought the food, and a large table of delicacies, delicious in color and aroma, was exuding heat and aroma, which made people's index fingers move, and they wished to sit down immediately and feast on it.

Chu Xun said, "Sit down and chat."

The two sat down, while An Ren stood by and waited.

"I just received your letter from Hwaseong a few days ago. I thought you wouldn't be looking for me in a short time, but I didn't expect you to come looking for me now." There was a smile in Chu Xun's eyes.

Pei Cheng said: "The shop has been busy renovating these few days, and it hasn't opened yet, so it's empty."

"When your new shop opens, remember to call me, and I'll go to rejoice." Chu Xun moved his chopsticks, and just after taking a bite, he suddenly said, "Why is there no wine, An Ren, go get some wine."

An Ren brought the jug over, poured a glass for Chu Xun, and was about to pour a glass for Pei Cheng, but Pei Cheng blocked the wine glass with his hand, preventing him from pouring wine.

"I..." Pei Cheng withdrew his hand and touched his nose, "I can't drink now, sorry."

An Ren was taken aback.

Chu Xun put down the wine glass, "An Ren, get out."

According to An Ren's words, he put down the jug and withdrew.
