royal family

Chapter 74

Father Shao's works are definitely not bought as wine, but sold as juice, they are also quite popular.Grape juice has a high sugar content and has been fermented. It tastes sweet and sour and has a dense and thick taste. It is a very good choice for some women and elderly people who do not like drinking.At present, there are really few shops in the market that use the method of making wine to make juice. After all, the cost is too high, and few people will spend a lot of effort to get some sweet juice.The difference in taste between the original fruit drink and the blended product is actually very obvious. After drinking all kinds of fresh fruit drinks prepared by Yumenxi, many drinks that claim to be fresh fruit brewed in the mouth immediately lose their taste. .

Shao's father first heard that his wine was popular, not to mention how excited he was. Later, when he learned the truth, he was sluggish for several days, and suddenly regained his vitality.

If you can't discover the skill of wine making, isn't this also the talent for making juice?

Anyway, they are all for drinking, so why do you have to distinguish between good and bad?

He got back a few large vats, as if he was going to compete with the wine, and spent a lot of energy to make the cellar full again.Shao's father said on the surface that he restocked the grapes himself because he saw that the grapes were selling well. Who in the family didn't know that he didn't believe in evil, so he wanted to brew some decent wine, so that people could believe that his ability was not limited to As for the fruit juice, this goal is undoubtedly a bit far away for Papa Shao. Fortunately, he has more busy work to consume his energy. Otherwise, if he keeps coaxing him like this without conscience, the pressure on the family is still quite high.

The wine chain is the first sub-line opened by Yumenxi. As the chairman of Yumenxi, Father Shao is naturally very concerned about this.Drinks are sold for market and popularity. The favors and contacts accumulated in City B in the early stage came in handy, and the name of the new company was quickly finalized - the word "Yumen" was still used, and the suffix was "Bai Juyi" Open the bottle and purge the bottle" half of the poem is changed to Yumenzun.

The name and Yumenxi fit each other, but they are different. In the early stage when the name has not yet been established, it must be managed by taking advantage of the popularity of Yumenxi.

According to the current popularity of Yumenxi, there is no need for the originally prepared marketing team to go out, and the news that the Shao family will open a wine line spreads in just a few days.

The wine at the Yumen banquet is expensive, and now it is the same as one plus one equals two, which is common sense among the people who love gossip.

It is quite worth showing off if you can find a few bottles of flower wine or passion fruit wine at home. The grade is no different from the precious wines of good vintages from foreign big wineries. Although there is still a big difference in price between the two, this This difference in price does not affect the aperture that surrounds the Mimonji product.In China, except for a few old companies with backstage support, in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer brands that have successfully built themselves into such a sought-after luxury image like Yumenxi.

The price of Yumen Seats is undoubtedly quite high, but it is rare that a restaurant of this level does not give the public a particularly distinct sense of distance.Topics such as "saving money to have a meal at Yumenxi" have been replaced by new and old since the first time it was brought up.There are really many people who pay close attention to this idea and desperately make money to realize their wishes. From time to time on social software, someone will post something like "Ah, I worked hard at the end of the year to give a bonus and bring my mother to the imperial gate seat" or "My wife never I married me when I was poor and white, and this month I finally saved enough money to bring her to enjoy it.” I don’t know when people started to tease the signboard of Yumenxi as an inspirational goal. In fact, it’s strange. Yumenshi has been involved in various disputes and scolding battles since its opening, but until today, the black history of the past has never left a deep impression on the audience.One after another, Yumenxi's young and immature signboard was gradually stabilized. Fang's feedback turned out to be more positive than negative.Except for a few voices yelling at the society for being unfair and stinking wine and meat, most people hold an attitude of anticipation for this upcoming wine brand.

With the opening of the wine company, the wine at Yumenxi should not be in the current state of being hidden, right?Although I don't know how the wine will be priced at that time, at least it won't be like the current flower wine and passion fruit wine that ordinary people won't even have the chance to taste.Those who go to Yumen Xi to dine in have a share of a cup, but they are not particularly well-off. Who would be willing to pay such an expensive vegetable price for such a small sip of wine!

-

Shao's father has been shameless in recent days because of the failure of the previous wine making, and he worked hard, and the meat fell off quickly. Shao's mother told Shao Yan to cook some supplementary vegetables for him, and at the same time told her son to take over the family business as soon as possible. To prepare, it is best to start learning how to manage the company and manage the property with Shao's father now.

Shao Yan is really not interested in running the company. His hobbies are cooking and studying delicious food.But Shao's mother's original words were - "If we are so old, if we have some physical problems someday, we will die early, and the company is getting bigger and bigger, so what can you do if you don't care?" It really made Shao Yan wonder where to start. refuted.

Men also need to confide their troubles with their friends, but friends who have a lot of contacts in China are either not too immature or have a special status, obviously it is not suitable to talk about this issue with him.

This caused Shao Yan to often need an interpreter when talking on the phone with his friends.

Although Lyon returned to Country F after the opening ceremony, he would always keep in touch with Shao Yan. Those who share similar interests would often exchange cooking experience on the phone.Because they are all very talented people in their respective fields, their current status is inseparable from their innate talents, and what they have in common lies in their love for innovation.Neither of them have personalities of keeping secrets, and the exchanges of experience are usually very sincere. This kind of mutual learning is obviously very rewarding. I heard that Changta Restaurant is now very popular for its vegetable soup and desserts that incorporate the flavors of C. , Shao Yan's inspiration will increase greatly every time he ends the call. His inspiration must be used in cooking.

The Long Tower Restaurant has been in operation for hundreds of years, and what Leon took over is also a family business. It can be said that he had similar distress to Shao Yan a long time ago.Now he is almost a pillar in the restaurant, and he has hired someone to solve the business affairs, so he can't be bothered easily.But this kind of business model may not be acceptable in country C, at least the parents of the Shao family will definitely not allow anyone other than the Shao family to take full control of their own property.It is easy to say that Yumenxi can go to today, and it is not easy to say, it really broke Father Shao's heart.

Lyon heard Shao Yan's rare sigh of distress, and didn't know what to say. The people's culture of country C was beyond his comprehension for a while as a native F countryman.

After Yan Daichuan changed his clothes and went to the kitchen, he smelled a faint fragrance of medicinal materials. Seeing that Shao Yan was concentrating on talking on the phone and had no time to answer him, he took the initiative to lift a pot lid and glanced inside.

The curling steam in the pot was warm and warm, and Yan Daichuan took a closer look, and there were thick meat-like things floating in the light-colored soup. Goji berries and small ginseng slices were ups and downs in it. Such a large weight, look It didn't look like it was stewed for one person.

Shao Yan patted the back of his hand, and reprimanded lightly: "I won't be bored for a while, so I won't be able to get out of the medicine, so don't ask for a beating."

Yan Daichuan said: "Stewed tonic? You won't eat this at night, will you?"

Shao Yan ignored him and was concentrating on talking to Leon on the other end of the phone.

Leon is not a good at dancing, and obviously not very good at comforting people. After a few words of persuasion to Shao Yan, he changed the topic to another topic, and at the same time brought a message to Shao Yan.

Shao Yan had also heard about this news a few months ago. At that time, he returned from city B to take the exam at University A. On the day he returned to city A, he received a call from Liao Dong, who had also mentioned it.

It's about the connection between his knife skills and the Shao family's recipes. At the beginning, the gossip was only spread in a small area in province A. In just a few months, it has spread to everyone in the industry. Lyon heard the wind.To be honest, since Yumenxi became famous, there has been no shortage of outside speculation about Shao Yan's cooking skills. Shao Yan alone has heard as many as four or five versions.Most people would like to believe that his excellent cooking skills have nothing to do with the deceased Mr. Shao. Why did he secretly worship a hermit in the deep mountains and old forests? Being talented is just hiding your clumsiness for self-protection all the time.There is simply no logic in these rumors, but because of enough blood and twists and turns, most of them are very popular.

Shao Yan was not surprised that someone associated his ability with the Shao family's recipes, and he had heard his father talk about it not long after he came to this era.Shao's parents are very sorry for the old man's unconsciousness caused by serious illness in the later stage of hospitalization. He has been talking about the recipe for most of his life, but in the end he couldn't make the most satisfactory arrangement. It's a pity to think about coming to the old man. .

The Shaw Group did not publicly announce whether Shao Yubo had obtained this cookbook for inheritance later on, so the whereabouts of the Shao family's heirloom became unclear.Fantastic props and fantasy people are often bound together. It is not normal for Shao Yan and Yumenxi's legendary rise to not attract attention.

Leon said that this matter was obviously purely for gossip and jokes, and he smiled and said to Shao Yan: "I am a lucky person who has seen your saber technique up close. This book lets you do just that."

Shao Yan chuckled: "If you really believe it, you are a fool."

"Maybe no one believes it." Leon made a joke, and his voice became serious again, "Yumenxi is now, in the words of your country C, a big tree. Even in country F, people who discuss you are not at all. Not much. I’ve also heard about the conflict between you and your uncle’s family in country F. It’s not a big deal that the recipe decides the heir. After all, it has no legal effect, but there are too many people talking about it. , he might be unhappy."

Shao Yan recalled the old manager who taught him his skills in the imperial kitchen in his early years. When he was old, he went out of the palace to take care of his old age.The boss has some unique skills in his hands, and maybe there are recipes and knife recipes. After Shao Yan created the cave style, he even drew a plausible book and sent it to him. Later, the city was destroyed, and he didn’t know about those old people. What is the end.

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yan sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily.

Yan Daichuan was secretly moving his pickle jar, but when he saw this, he quickly got up and rubbed his head.

Shao Yan leaned against him and called his name.

Yan Daichuan said: "Huh?"

Shao Yan wanted to ask him if he had any old friends who were worried about him, but he swallowed the words and turned to another question: "Are you busy with the Yan family's business?"

It must be a bit tiring to accumulate so many burdens on the shoulders of the Yan family's transformation and market development, but Yan Daichuan couldn't show weakness in front of Shao Yan, so he naturally pretended to be relaxed: "It's just a trivial matter."

is it?

Shao Yan thought about his own plan in his mind, and when Yan Daichuan asked what he would eat for dinner, he struggled out of the other's embrace, turned off the fire and took away the stew that was still tumbling on the stove: "Recently, the family is weak, and the stew Order medicated food. The medicated food should not be greasy, so it should be light in the evening, and eat old duck vermicelli and meat swallow wontons."

The kitchen at home has been stewing old soup all year round. I don’t know how many ducks have been up and down in a pot of duck soup. The small pot scooped out in advance is boiled with fried tofu and duck blood. The white soup with red pieces is very beautiful.The vermicelli only needs to be blanched quickly in the rolling soup, it is very easy to cook, and when it is scooped into the bowl, it is greasy and transparent gray, full of chewiness.

The essence of Laoya vermicelli soup lies in the soup and ingredients. Apart from fresh vegetable ingredients such as scallions and coriander, the most outstanding thing is the marinated ingredients sprinkled on top.It's a local specialty, found almost everywhere in the authentic region, and the quality of the duck soup and ingredients can make or break a small restaurant.One of Shao Yan's apprentices used to do this business at home, and he was quite well-known in the local area. If the child wanted to venture out when he was young, and found the Imperial Gate Seat, he would undoubtedly have a brighter future.

The secret recipe of Shao Yan's braised ingredients came from him. Of course, he didn't let his apprentice suffer, he used his own recipe of another flavor of braised ingredients instead.Authentic accessories include duck liver, duck intestines, duck gizzards, etc., which are delicious with salty freshness, spread evenly among the vermicelli soaked in soup, and then sprinkle with a handful of green onion and coriander. If you like spicy food You can also add a spoonful of chili oil.

There are quite a lot of noodles at home at night, as long as the taste is good, no one will reject light ones.The slippery vermicelli slips into the mouth with the thick umami taste of duck soup, and it is served with small, thickly sliced ​​braised duck liver or duck intestines. The duck blood is fat and tender, and the fried tofu absorbs the soup, chew When it is cooked, it combines the refreshing fragrance of the scallions in the mouth, and it will be even more stunning if you add a little vinegar and chili.

The hot vermicelli served with low-key meat and swallow wontons is another local dish. Shao Yan also learned it from his apprentice. There are some similarities between the dishes cooked in skin.The wonton wrapper made of meat paste mixed with sweet potato powder is chewy and has a meaty aroma. Because it has been seasoned, it is very delicious to eat alone. There are some clear fillings that are chopped into minced meat. The clear soup is used as the base. Add two drops of sesame oil, it is simply delicious.

Shao Yan's stewed herbal diet finally revealed the true face of Lushan Mountain, the texture of clear soup, and the small medicinal materials were quietly cut into white... things that looked like shellfish.The smell of the medicinal materials is not unpleasant, or it may be because of the seasoning. In short, the bitterness of the traditional Chinese medicine is not smelled at all, and the slightly sweet fragrance of ginseng and wolfberry is also within the acceptable range of everyone present.Shao's mother and Li Yuke said that they drank the bird's nest before the meal and couldn't eat the fans. The meat-loving men, except Shao Yan, took the initiative to divide up the bowl of soup.

The soup tastes really good, the thickness is the deliciousness of the gravy, and the bitterness of the medicinal materials can hardly be tasted.The meat in the soup is even smoother and more elastic when chewed. The taste is indeed a bit like shellfish, but it is much softer than shellfish. It is stewed to taste, tender and juicy. After a few bites, the mouth is lingering Meaty smell.

Yan Daichuan chewed the boiled ginseng into pieces and swallowed them, crunching and eating the meat, and raised his hand to give Shao Yansheng a bowl: "This soup tastes really good, would you like to drink some?"

"I don't want it." Shao Yan ate his vermicelli slowly, raised his hand and waved at Yan Daichuan, "I can't finish my vermicelli and wontons, please help me eat them, eat more, don't leave any left over."

Yan Daichuan had already started to serve, so he didn't force him when he heard the words. After putting the soup bowl in front of him, he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He smiled and replied, "What you made, Someday there will be left at home."

The corner of Shao Yan's mouth raised a meaningful arc: "That's the best."

A thin layer of sweat was poured out of the hot soup. Shao's father drank it upside down. When he took a spoon and wanted to scoop it up again, he found that the meat in the soup bowl had been snatched up.He wiped off his sweat, glanced at the ingredients in the bowls of the father and son Yan Daichuan and Yan Yi, clicked his tongue in his heart, and felt that he would lose money if he didn't drink, so he simply poured the soup base into his own bowl.

Yan Yi smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and his mouth and hands were not slow at all: "You are the only one who can stew this kind of medicinal food."

Shao's father laughed and said, "This kid really didn't realize that he was as sensible as he is now. A few years ago, I wouldn't have thought that he would cook soup for me."

Shao Yan only thought that the person he was talking about was not himself, and smiled and shirked the credit: "I'm not that careful, it was my aunt and my mother who said that the family was under pressure recently and first proposed to stew the supplements, and they bought the things. I'm just starting a stove."

Yan Daichuan was already overwhelmed by the taste of the smooth and firm meat in his mouth, and asked casually: "I'm really bothered, what is stewed in the soup? It tastes very good. If it's not easy to buy, I can find someone to deliver it to my home on a regular basis in the future." Come."

"..." Shao Yan poured some vinegar into the fan bowl, but said nothing.

Yan Daichuan raised his head, his eyes fell on him suspiciously, but he couldn't get an answer, so he simply looked at Li Yuke and Shao's mother.

The two old sisters laughed dryly.

Seeing their behavior, Yan Daichuan subconsciously slowed down their meat-chewing movements. Even Shao's father and Yan Yi felt that something was wrong, and asked, "What's in it? You won't buy protected animals to eat?"

"How is it possible! How can it be so precious, and even eat protected animals!" Li Yuke immediately choked at him with widened eyes, "You can eat the food in the soup and eat it, why are there so many problems!"

Seeing her scolding people for no reason, Yan Yi felt suspicious.Although Li Yuke has a pungent personality, he has never seen such a pungent character. He is usually very reasonable!

He put down his spoon and stared straight at his wife.

Father Shao stopped drinking the dregs in his soup, looked at him, and also stared at Mother Shao with doubts on his face.

After all, Shao's mother was more honest than her sister, her face was flushed by her husband's sight, and the atmosphere froze for a moment, then she was pulled up and left by Li Yuke, who pretended to be nonchalant.

Yan Daichuan was affected by the strange atmosphere of the elders. Seeing Shao's father and his own father chasing the mothers out, he approached Shao Yan and asked him, "What the hell is it?"

Shao Yan asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Don't say anything that is against your conscience, Yan Daichuan nodded.

Shao Yan smiled gratifiedly, scooped up the last piece of meat from the bowl and poured it into his mouth, patted his shoulder and said, "It's so serious, it's just stewed bullwhip, eat more, it's good for you."

-

I don't know how the bullwhip was stewed. Yan Daichuan sneaked into Shao Yan's room in the middle of the night for three consecutive days before venting the fire.Because Li Yuke and Yan Daichuan are generally more restrained at home because of scruples, Shao Yan doesn't have so many thoughts to hide, because Yan Daichuan's fighting spirit is quite satisfied during this time, and his personality is much more docile during the day.

Getting up from Shao Yan's room every morning to go to work, no matter how stupid Li Yuke was, he would have noticed some clues. He never found a chance to catch Yan Daichuan alone and question him, so he could only stare wide-eyed and worry.In addition, the two old gentlemen are extraordinarily energetic these days when they are nourished by the soup.

The first store of Yumenzun was finally decided to be located in City B. The decoration of the store was almost complete, and the safety equipment was arranged in every detail from the inside to the inside. The signs were shipped home.

The signboard was written by Shao Yan, and his handwriting is as arrogant and domineering as ever, which can make people feel agitated.Such a unique style has now gained some fame in the calligraphy collection circle, and the price is getting higher and higher, but Shao Yan seldom leaves his calligraphy outside, and almost all his works are hung in imperial gate mats everywhere.Calligraphy and painting are more expensive than sold, and occasionally they are used by Father Shao to give favors.The change in value is reflected in the way of display. At first, it was just mounted and hung on the wall. Later, in order to prevent customers from touching it, a space was dug out at the place where calligraphy and paintings are hung. Now, it is carefully protected on the wall with anti-theft glass. of the showroom.There are a lot of alarm devices on the walls around the display area. If anyone has any intentions to do anything wrong, he will be caught by the security personnel in the store in an instant.

The wine has already been prepared, and Shao's father also learned the method of storing wine from other wineries, leaving a part of each batch of products out of the cellar for deep storage.Wine is especially about the year. Occasionally, when the rain and weather are particularly good, the quality of the wine produced is also exceptionally good.

Most of the wine in country C gets better with age, Shao Yan's wine has always been in short supply, and there are very few wines that come out of Chenjiao.In the past, it was better, because the wine brewed was for so few people to drink. The emperor saved a little flower wine from his throat every year and buried it. It was held at the banquet... It's just that everyone obviously didn't wait for that distant day.

At Yumenxi, the news of Yumen Zun's opening was spread, and Shao's father also specially allocated ten bottles of flower wine and ten bottles of passion fruit wine for the opening day activities.The winery is in a Chinese style, and all the way in is a wooden structure. Father Shao specially asked someone to make the space design a mystery, plus the display of various wine racks, and after placing various porcelain bottles of royal gate bottles, there is a solemn feeling. .

Under Shao's father's personal supervision, the signboard was carefully hung at the gate. On both sides of the wooden gate, silk and hand-embroidered wine tricks were hung. The details are exquisite everywhere, which really put a lot of effort into it.

There were passers-by around to watch, Father Shao stared at the sharp three words on the signboard, and after a long pause, he let out a long sigh, suppressing the worries and feelings in his heart.

I don't know what the prospect of this new industry is, and there are not a few companies that are losing money on drinks.Yumenxi has a very high status in domestic restaurants now, but it doesn't mean that the drinks can be equally good.

Father Shao invited a lot of media and guests to cut the ribbon for the opening of the winery, and he didn't dare to think that there were too many, as long as he didn't be left out in the cold, he would lose the face of Yumenxi instead.

The author has something to say: Papa Shao: "[The eyes are bright] Do you want to have a big promotion for the opening bonus!"

The waiter of Yumentaru [after one hour]: "[Being knocked out] Boss please restock!"
