royal family

After getting a preliminary understanding of the number of people who will participate in the banquet at that time, Shao Yan found that he had to contribute most of his apprentices.

Yumenxi is now fully supported by apprentices. It is okay to leave two or three temporarily, but leaving such a large number at one time, the work of the back kitchen is bound to be overwhelming. The business of Yumenxi is because of their departure. Definitely will be affected too.

Father Shao was dragged by his son to calculate the turnover after the excitement passed. He was busy from the afternoon to midnight, and he was shocked by the calculated figures.

After leaving the main chef, Yumenxi conservatively estimated that three restaurants will be closed.These three stores are all calculated according to the leasing standard. The daily rent, management fee, fixed tax, and the bulk of the operating income of the day, the net profit loss in the end has jumped to several million.

The business of each branch has already been on the right track, and the daily passenger flow has almost evened out.Now every meal time, it is even more difficult to wait for a vacant seat in the store. With the high price of dishes and the dense passenger flow, the income for a week must not be underestimated.

When Shao Yan saw this number, his heart skipped a beat. He frowned and thought about his family's shabby style, and couldn't help asking Shao's father: "What is the current condition of our family?"

Shao's father was immersed in the beautiful data and the good news that fell from the sky, and he only felt that his son was simply a lucky star bestowed on him by heaven.Yumenxi and him have everything today, and Shao Yan definitely deserves the most credit.The time after the separation was so difficult, if it weren't for Shao Yan's cooking skills, he would still be in distress with his wife and children holding the hot potato that Shao Yubo didn't want.

Hearing his son's question, Shao's father froze for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Where's the money? It looks like a lot of money." Shao Yan asked, "How much money have we saved now?"

Shao's father didn't understand his context, so he thought about his family's financial situation, and reported the truth: "There is not much liquidity, mainly because I borrowed a lot from your aunt. The last time the store in S City borrowed money from her, I only repaid it." After that, the branch in City S and the store in City B will open again soon. The rent, repair and maintenance of various equipment, and the purchase of food materials in the usual store are not low, and almost all the money has been invested. Do you want money? too much?"

Father Shao took out his wallet and took out a stack of bright red bills and handed it to his son.

It turned out that he still owed a lot of debt, Shao Yan was worried, what is the difference between being unable to make ends meet and being penniless.Seeing the red bills, he raised his hand and took them. He counted more than 3000 bills, and carefully put them into his wallet.There were also eight bills lying in it, which were left over from the 200 pocket money given by Shao’s father at the beginning of the month. All kinds of transportation expenses will be lost when you don’t know the way when you go out.Apart from buying water outside, Shao Yan really doesn't have any expensive hobbies.

Yumenxi's one-week operating loss amount was submitted, and the leader who managed the logistics of the meeting almost shed tears of bitterness when he saw the final figure.This meeting is a big deal, and the higher-ups have given a lot of convenience to support their planning, but no matter how much budget they have, they can't spend it like this!Now the decoration of the venue is a huge sum, and the cost of clothing is also astonishing. Although almost every inch of the details in the meeting is a material that burns money, the price proposed by Yumenxi is really outrageous a little bit?

The first reaction of the leaders was that Yumenshi had lied about the numbers, and no one was more proficient at making false accounts than them. Many people felt contempt that you dare to play big swords in front of Guan Gong.

Who knew that after looking at the details, they knew that the numbers were so frankly true!

Yumenxi has never evaded taxes in City A and City S every month. If you calculate the monthly payment according to the ratio, you can roughly know how much money these stores can make.After adding all kinds of miscellaneous expenses together, the budget team actually came to a conclusion that Shao's father was already very kind. If they were replaced, they might be able to double the amount of the loss.

If this number is really agreed to, it will be a mess. The leaders of the logistics department held several emergency meetings. Someone suggested that Shao Yanxiao should be invited to pay back the price with reason and emotion, and inform the Shao family and his son of the good news that day. After hearing this, the staff expressed their opinions: "There is no way to find Shao Yan. If you want to bargain, you might as well go to Mr. Shao."

"Isn't it?" Some people didn't believe his words, "Isn't ginger old and spicy?"

"It's hard for the Shao family," the staff member thought of the scene when he came to inform the Shao family and his son that day, and he couldn't help but feel disbelief in his heart. He shook his head and said, "Just take it as my intuition and advice. It's about money." , don’t go looking for Shao Yan.”

-

Shao Yan's disciples were more excited than the right master when they heard the news that their master was going to undertake the state banquet, especially Tian Xiaotian, who were bold enough to fly to City B the next day after receiving the notice to set off.

Shao Yan beat him up, he came to City B, what about the business in City S?

Tian Xiaotian's juniors also wanted to cry but had no tears. They made inter-provincial phone calls to complain that several seniors left a lot of work and walked away without a trace.After Shao Yan hung up the phone, he pinched the phone and looked at the apprentices with ferocious eyes, and Tian Xiaotian smiled frightfully against his bruised eye sockets.

Yan Daichuan calmly watched Master Yan's apprentices from the sidelines. Shao Yan ran very fast when he was chasing the beating man, and he could jump to a height of more than two meters in one leap. He looked particularly vigorous.Of course he likes to see Tian Xiaotian being beaten up, this kid is not in the same boat as him, when he was in City A, he was particularly hostile towards him for some reason.Yan Daichuan is not so small-minded that he is not allowed to be hated by others. The main reason why he dislikes this person is that he always loves to act like a baby with Shao Yan.Yan Daichuan is a person who is not very good at saying good things in daily life, and his ability to act is not strong. The way he likes Shao Yan is to care about him silently and try his best to solve his troubles.Tian Xiaotian is very shameless, in order to please Shao Yan, he can say anything, and usually loves to cling to Shao Yan, wishing to be close to him 24 hours a day to take care of Shao Yan to the point of wiping Shao Yan's ass.

This has also led to the fact that in many cases, Yan Daichuan, a practical man, does not seem to have a sense of presence as Tian Xiaotian, who can talk and act like a baby.

Should!Make you crazy!He deserves to be beaten!

In the kitchen there was a big whole piece of steamed pumpkin, Yan Daichuan found a large spoon, and while scooping up the sweet pumpkin to eat, he admired Tian Xiaotian's desperate escape with a full stomach.

"Master~~~" Tian Xiaotian was beaten, turned around and flew towards his master with his pig's head on his head, he was rewarded by Shao Yan with a bunch of chestnuts and refused to back away, holding on to his master and refusing to let go.

Seeing Shao Yan being hugged, Yan Daichuan's eyes widened, and then he was choked by the pumpkin, and coughed earth-shatteringly.

"Master! Master! Master, I miss you so much!!!" Tian Xiaotian hugged Shao Yan and began to talk sweetly, his voice sounded like a chicken crowing, regardless of Shao Yan's crackling slap, "I miss you so much I can’t wait for a day, I haven’t seen Master for a while, you have changed so much, how could you suddenly grow so tall!?”

Shao Yan paused when he heard the words, and the strength to cover it with his hand was instantly reduced by half.

After Yan Daichuan coughed, he raised his head and looked at Tian Xiaotian in disbelief.

Shao Yan's voice was still stern, but his eyes visibly softened, scolding him: "Why are you avoiding the important?! It's about you abandoning your juniors and going to City B! It's no use being glib!"

Tian Xiaotian hugged Shao Yan and rubbed against him. He was tall and immediately covered Shao Yan.Seeing that the master's attitude was calmer, he wanted to say something more, but Yan Daichuan tore the collar from Shao Yan's body as soon as he tightened his neck.

Yan Daichuan's eyes showed a cold look: "Speak well, what do you look like when you are rushing around."

"It's none of your business!" Tian Xiaotian knew that Yan Daichuan and Shao Yan's relationship was not good when he was apprenticed to his teacher early in the morning, and for a while at the beginning, he deliberately refused to put on a good face for Yan Daichuan for Shao Yan's sake.Now that Shao Yan and Yan Daichuan are getting closer, Tian Xiaotian doesn't feel any respect for Yan Daichuan because of this, stripping away the master-student relationship, they are actually just a group of peers.

Tian Xiaotian doesn't like Yan Daichuan, very much!

I didn't like it when Shao Yan always set aside a portion of food for the driver to give to this person at Yumenxi in S City!

Yan Daichuan said in his heart, bah, like who likes you, a tall and thick man clings to Shao Yan all day long and acts like a baby.

As soon as his face turned cold, he didn't need to think about such things as acting with reason and understanding with affection. If he suppressed his aura, Tian Xiaotian, who would eat both soft and hard things, would immediately wither away.

He was picked up by the neck and thrown into a corner like a chicken cub.

Yan Daichuan tidied up Shao Yan's messy hair and clothes, most of Shao Yan's anger dissipated, pointed to Tian Xiaotian in the corner and a few disciples who surrounded him like quails silently, gave him another few words of training, then washed his hands and went Dispose of the steamed squash.

When Tian Xiaotian saw that his master was going to cook, he immediately jumped up on the spot full of blood, and Yan Daichuan blocked his approach without a trace.

Now the daily vegetables at home are delivered by specialized agencies, organic food, and the quality is better than vegetables sold in the market.This pumpkin is quite big, and the flesh is actually a bit old, but the old pumpkin tastes sweet and has a strong melon fragrance. Yan Daichuan, who ate a big piece just now, still has an aftertaste in his mouth.

Shao Yan sent a few apprentices to put the soft and rotten pumpkin pieces into a container and blend them into a puree, then poured the adjusted proportion of flour and glutinous rice flour into it, seasoned it and steamed it in a pot.

The remaining flour is kneaded into a ball, melted into a large piece of butter, and kneaded repeatedly until it is moderately soft and hard.Shao Yan handed over the noodles to his disciples, and turned around to make the stuffing himself.

Tian Xiaotian stared at his master's every move, Shao Yan never kept secrets, and taught every step and technique of a dish clearly.But even so, the dishes they cook are still different from Shao Yan's.For example, cakes, seasonings such as meat fillings are another thing for the time being, even the dough, Shao Yan's ones are also different from theirs.

Obviously the same steps, what is the difference?

The minced meat prepared early in the morning, [-]% pork and [-]% beef were mixed together, and Shao Yan asked Tian Xiaotian to bring out the soup frozen in the refrigerator.The soup was not frozen to the point of forming a whole block, it was relatively thin, and the thick block was broken into pieces, and it showed signs of melting when it encountered normal temperature.The soup was poured into the meat stuffing, and after a little stirring, it went nowhere. Seven or eight fresh eggs were beaten in, and Shao Yan took out the bean paste that he had marinated some time ago and scooped in a spoonful.

"Master, did you still pickle the sauce?" Tian Xiaotian, whose scar was healed and forgot the pain, smelled the smell of the sauce and couldn't help but leaned up to it, and pulled the mouth of the jar to look inside.Shao Yan's pickled bean paste was darker in color, and judging from the spoonful he scooped out just now, the bean paste must have been ground.Tian Xiaotian picked up the spoon his master left aside to be washed and licked it, squinted his eyes and shook his head.

The sauce has a strong umami taste, which is very different from the existing bean paste on the market. The saltiness is only average, which is about the palatability that can be eaten with rice.The sauce is very thick, and it melts gently in the mouth, followed by a rich sweetness, which swings from the mouth into the nasal cavity, and even the breath brings out the smell after swallowing.

Tian Xiaotian has a keen sense of taste, but after eating, he couldn't taste what was in it. The Douban tasted good, and he licked the spoon clean without knowing it. When he looked up, he saw his master squinting at him with disgust.

Tian Xiaotian didn't think it was a pestle, and he said it as flattery: "Master, you are too good, how can the watercress be pickled so fresh? Give me a little later, I want to use it for bibimbap."

One of the reasons why Shao Yan loves Tian Xiaotian so much must be because he is good at flattering, Shao Yan snorted, but felt relieved: "You just know how to eat but don't know how to use your brain, ask me why it's so delicious, eat it yourself. You can't even taste the special taste of shrimp paste, so what else do you want to learn, don't learn."

Tian Xiaotian had already realized the truth that one should never hear good words from his master, he was taken aback when he heard the words, found a clean spoon and dipped it into the jar again, was slapped by Shao Yan, at least he snatched two Spoon.

Don't tell me, I don't know, the combination of the freshness of shrimp paste and the aroma of beans is really suitable, and the slightly spicy taste is also within the acceptable range. He found some hot rice and put it in a bowl, and melted it for a while. Order lard, mix the rice and sauce together and eat happily.

The bean paste was stimulated by the heat of the rice, and the aroma immediately wafted out. The cooked rice was shiny and slightly brown. It was very delicious at first glance, and several juniors immediately rushed to grab it.

The minced garlic and a little diced green onion are added to the meat filling, and the final process begins with the dough.Roll the skin until it is slightly thick, spread it into long strips, brush with oil, roll it into a roll and knead it long, then cut it into small pieces with a knife.

The oiled dough was not sticky enough. After pressing it thin, Shao Yan struggled to pack a large ball of fat fillings into it, and then kneaded it into a slightly flat shape similar to a knife-cut steamed bun. Put it into the baking tray and brush it with a layer of egg liquid.

The pumpkin cakes in the pot began to smell sweet, and the apprentices who finished eating the bibimbap still had the umami taste of the sweet sauce in their mouths. They smelled the sweetness of the cakes, but they were still hungry even though they were not hungry.

When the pumpkin cake is steamed, it is not a texture that has been steamed, but a translucent and very soft texture.The hot pumpkin cake is soft and sticky because of the addition of glutinous rice, and it feels like a fresh rice cake that doesn't melt.

Shao Yan grabbed a piece and stuffed it into Yan Daichuan's mouth. The pumpkin cake was very hot, and it tasted like mochi, but it was more delicate, and it could pull out long strands when bitten.

Then there is the strong fragrance of pumpkin in the mouth, seasoned with honey of flowers, it is not greasy to eat, and chewing in the mouth, it is a slightly sticky satisfaction.Tian Xiaotian was sent to cut cakes, and he ate while cutting, looking very satisfied. When his master went to turn on the oven when his stomach was full, he regretted it so much that he beat his chest and feet.

The smell of meat coming out of the oven is much more attractive to men than pumpkin cake!

Even Yan Daichuan couldn't help but take a closer look. The beautifully shaped steamed buns in the baking pan had a golden skin, and the corners had already baked a crisp layer. The top of the dough was brushed with egg yolk, and the color was very beautiful.

It looks delicious!

Gao Yuan arrives on time every day and walks in like a housewife with an insulated box. When he smells the fragrance, he floats for a while, and then he sees a group of unknown young people standing in the room.

Before he went to the kitchen, he did hear that Shao Yan was cooking with his apprentices... Why do Shao Yan have so many apprentices?

Gao Yuan cheekily walked into his own kitchen and touched a piece of shortbread on the baking tray. He was so hot that he was so hot that he was still looking for a topic: "What are you making meat pies today? Some old men in the family ordered it to be fun. I heard Yu The gatekeeper will be in charge of the catering for the financial summit, congratulations."

Shao Yan snorted twice, Yan Daichuan, the assistant to the general manager, immediately came to use, and went up to greet Gao Yuan politely, but fortunately Gao Yuan had no time to talk after eating a bite of cake.

Once you bite down on the shortbread, you can even hear the shallow "click" sound through your mouth. The layers of crispy pastry melt in your mouth, and the butter inside is full of delicious and thick taste.

Crisp, crisp, hot, and thin.

With the first bite, you can get full of fillings. Unexpectedly, this kind of shortbread can be covered with soup. Gao Yuan was caught off guard when the gravy dripped down, and he covered his chin and wrinkled his face in pain.

The minced meat has the fragrance of onion and garlic, and the texture is tightly curled into a ball, but when you bite it, it is very soft, which is in harmony with the crispy crust, and the texture and taste have been greatly improved.

Gao Yuan ate three or four of them, and his mouth was full of oil, and his image disappeared.On the way back, he grabbed the hot pumpkin cake and ate it all the way. He happened to pass in front of a reflective pillar of a certain house, and when he saw the sloppy man in the mirror who was still chewing without the image of an elite, hot tears suddenly condensed on his face. In the eye socket.

-

Father Shao had his favorite meatloaf when he got home, and he stuffed it with two or three in a good mood, and paired it with a pot of Shao Yan's newly fried tea. He felt that heaven was nothing more than this.

Knowing that he was going out today to discuss the details of Yumenxi's participation in the production of the conference banquet, the family members sat around the table, and even Shao's mother and Li Yuke planned to listen to his harvest while eating pumpkin cakes.

Shao's father remembered the weeping expression on the logistics leader's face when he sent him out of the office before leaving, and he was very proud, and his smile became more honest: "I went to negotiate the price today, and the meeting party wanted to bargain, and I agreed. "

Shao Yan's face turned pale when he heard the word "bargain", and Yan Daichuan stared at the simple and honest smile on Shao's father's face, and immediately understood that he was taking a risk.

Sure enough, Shao's father took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The compensation has been reduced by 50.00%, and I used the remaining 50.00% to exchange for the eight-month advertising space of Country C. During the prime time, the 15 to [-] second level, this The price seems to be picked for nothing."

The leaders of the planning party had no choice but to agree to such a harsh exchange method.The compensation amount handed over by Yumenxi is really a bit large, and this figure will definitely be worse on the books.Shao's father is not a fool, the compensation is legitimate income, how could he say no to it and just don't want it.Thinking that these departments above have a little say in several domestic CCTVs, and just thinking about the real estate that Yan's subsidiary company was planning to promote some time ago, what is lacking is a publicity channel, so I brought it up at this time.

Probably because of Shao's father's particularly honest face, the senior leaders thought he should be easier to talk to at first.Some people wanted to cry when the two parties came and went to bargain, so Shao's father grinded with them little by little, from morning to evening, taking a step back from his completely unreasonable demands and turning them into less unreasonable ones, and finally finally Destroyed the opponent's psychological defense and achieved success.

Yan Daichuan was stunned for a while, and then his heart was full of emotion.In the past, because of Shao Yan's relationship, he always had to be extra affectionate to the Shao family's parents. Many problems with Yumenxi had always been resolved as the Yan family's own business, but he never thought that the Shao family would treat himself as their own. People, in the face of this kind of opportunity, the first thought of fighting for him.

So what if the surname is not Shao?In Shao's father's eyes, Yan Daichuan was just a half-son.Yan Daichuan was in a big business, and Shao's father was happier taking advantage of the benefits for him than his own. He even ate two more bowls of rice than usual, and he didn't see his son's depressed face on the table at all.

Shao Yan is so worried, he doesn't watch TV, and he doesn't understand the various forms of modern marketing. Seeing his father give up such a large sum of money in exchange for this, he can't help but feel sad, thinking that Shao's father is too bad at life up.

The family is still in debt, the new store has not been renovated, and the business of the old store will be affected after the apprentices leave after a while. It is already so difficult to make ends meet, and my father does not know how to plan more and make such a willful decision.

After dinner, he hid in the house and was very worried. When he saw Yan Daichuan coming in, he asked him, "How much does our family owe you?"

How could Yan Daichuan think about this? He always told his mother to give the money to the Shao family without hesitation, but Shao Yan's question stunned him.

When he was eating, he felt that Shao Yan was in a bad mood. Yan Daichuan put the heated fungus soup on the table, which Shao Yan stewed in the afternoon.

The top-quality white fungus ears are thick and gelatinous, and they have been stewed until they almost melt.There are plump red dates floating in the thick gelatinous soup, and the sweet aroma of honey and red dates lingers in the room.

Yan Daichuan asked, "Why do you ask this?"

Seeing him coming, Shao Yan raised his hand and grabbed his neck and hung it up: "Just say what you want."

Yan Daichuan carefully hugged his waist and patted him, and counted for him for some unknown reason: "I don't know the exact number, but Yumenxi opened a branch recently, and the expenses must be higher. The branch in S City is tens of millions, and the branch in B The price here in the city is even higher, and I have some funds in Yumenxi's account, and mine here...about 8000 to [-] million?"

Shao Yan seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and his feet went limp.

Yan Daichuan felt him slipping in his arms, was startled, and quickly embraced him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shao Yan shook his head in shock, his expression became more dazed, and he sat at the table and slowly ate the white fungus soup.

The melted white fungus makes the soup thick and moist. The aroma of red dates melts in the soup. The core has been dug out. Once you sip from the gap, the jujube juice will flow out, and the skin and flesh will be easily separated.You can occasionally chew lotus seeds in it. Now is not the month when the lotus blooms. The lotus seeds are dug out from the fresh lotus pods specially bought by Yan Daichuan from the south. .

Shao Yan never told others about his worries about money. He had a sense of mission that he was born to make money to support his family. When Yan Daichuan asked him, he just shook his head. When he was asked urgently, he turned around and kissed him.

Yan Daichuan was gagged, and the sweetness of white fungus soup, red dates and lotus seeds came from the other party's mouth, and he gave up asking the bottom line for a while.Shao Yan always liked kissing with lips and tongue, and Yan Daichuan's gentle and gentle style pleased him a lot. At first, he just wanted to be perfunctory, but later he became serious.

Yan Daichuan ate a mouthful of white fungus soup, his heart softened, and he asked him, "In a bad mood?"

Shao Yan shook his head and continued to eat.

Yan Daichuan recalled the question Shao Yan asked just now, and pondered a possibility: "Is it related to the money borrowed by Yumenxi from Yan's family?"

Shao Yan looked back at him impatiently, and said, "Why are you asking so much?" Afraid that he would be wordy, he raised his mouth and kissed him again.

Yan Daichuan embraced the man so much to enjoy, and after the kiss was over, he smacked his mouth unsatisfactorily, repeating the same trick: "Are you afraid that the money will not be paid or what? As for? My money is not your money. It is still in business." What difficulties do you encounter..."

He has a very serious expression, with a smile in his eyes, just waiting for Shao Yan to stop his mouth again. Shao Yan turned his head, but this time his gaze was much sharper: "Yan Daichuan."

"Huh?" Yan Daichuan had a serious expression about a meeting.

The corner of Shao Yan's mouth was slightly raised, and he hugged his neck and kissed the corner of his mouth, with a gentle tone: "Are you looking for a beating?"

"..." The active Mensao cells in Yan Daichuan's body suddenly died down, "Just asking..."

He took the initiative to come up and want to kiss, but Shao Yan refused to do so, and concentrated on drinking his own soup.

Yan Daichuan stared at the back of his head for a while, his heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Tian Xiaotian is quite careful."

Shao Yan glanced at him inexplicably.

Yan Daichuan made a very sincere expression of surprise: "I didn't notice it when we were together every day. It seems that I have grown a lot taller. When I hugged you like this before, the top of your head clearly only reached my nose."

"Really?" Shao Yan got excited, sat up straight and compared himself and Yan Daichuan, and found that the top of his head was close to the eyebrows of the other party. He was overjoyed and stood up immediately, "It's grown a lot!"

Yan Daichuan was pulled up by him to compare his height. Shao Yan had long legs. Although his upper body was a little shorter than Yan Daichuan's, his hip line was almost the same.

Shao Yan was overwhelmed by this discovery. In his previous life, he was not tall because of poor nutrition when he was a child, and he has had enough of looking up at people!

A real man should be tall and mighty!

Shao Yan's ambition was high and his heart was full of pride, money and other things outside of him were instantly forgotten.He proudly stretched out his hand to cover the back of Yan Daichuan's head, pulled it over and started to nibble boldly, he nibbled twice and wanted to let go, but was grabbed by the waist and lifted by the other party, and immediately hugged him.

Well!Now bow your head and kiss!

Who cares, Shao Yan wrapped his legs around Yan Daichuan's waist, lowered his head and held the other's face, kissing him more vigorously.

He is happy with this position!What's the matter? !

The author has something to say:

Shao Yan's height goal: One day he can maintain a standing posture and bow his head like this to have a boo with Yan Daichuan.

Yan Daichuan: [A little embarrassed] [How to dispel his idea] [I will definitely be beaten if I say it]
