I rely on pancakes to become rich [farming]

Yan Moji was worried, and confirmed with Chen Weng again: "Chen Weng, is it true that the birth date is not written in the marriage letter? There are no exceptions?"

"That's natural. Although it's popular to write horoscopes on marriage books outside, there are taboos in our town. Birthday horoscopes are never written on paper..." Chen Weng was a little puzzled why Yan Moji was so surprised. After thinking about it, he thought it was Ji Mingwu He made a mistake with Yan Moji, so he comforted him, "However, Ji Dalang of your family was away as a young man, and he only came back two years ago, and the marriage at home is arranged by the elders, maybe he doesn't know about it."

These words did not comfort Yan Moji at all, but made him more confused.

——If what Chen Weng said is true, why did Brother Wu say that he knew his birth date from the marriage certificate?

——Is it because the marriage certificates of the two of them are different from those of other people in the town, or is it that Brother Wu is not born according to the marriage certificate at all?

Yan Moji was inclined towards the former at the first time. After all, Ji Mingwu came home from outside. Maybe Ji's father and mother considered Ji Mingwu's habits, discussed with Qiao's couple, and wrote the date of birth on the marriage letter.

But thinking of this, Yan Moji suddenly thought of something, and muttered again in his heart:

——The Qiao family couple...do you really remember the birth date of the original body?

Judging from the original body's memory, it was only a month after he was bought here that Qiao's mother was pregnant. The Qiao family's attention immediately focused on Qiao's mother's belly, and they were quite indifferent towards Yuan body; After the child was born, it was confirmed that it was a boy, and the original body's status suddenly plummeted. Qiao's family immediately felt that the son who had bought it with silver was a debt to their family, and all the dirty work was left to the original body. If he ran away, he would be caught and beaten, and then he would starve.

Yuanzheng's memory was relatively scattered when he was a child, but he still remembered his birth date; but he didn't have the memory of telling Qiao's family about his birth date, and he didn't know if he didn't say it, or he said it but forgot.

But even if it's been said, Yan Moji doesn't really believe that the Qiao family couple will remember Yuanshen's birthday with Yuanshen's treatment.

But in Yuanshen's memory, the marriage came very suddenly. Qiao's mother suddenly announced to him one day that she would marry him to the Ji family, and there would be no dowry. Sending the original body to Ji's house as if selling goods.

——In this case, even if the Ji family asked for the date of birth to be written on the marriage letter, the Qiao family would just fool around, right?

The degree of Qiao's perfunctory treatment of the original body is obvious, and Yan Moji has no doubt that the couple may have sold the bought son without hesitation just after reading the Ji family's betrothal gift list.

——Speaking of... why did the Ji family suddenly fall in love with Yuan Shen?

Yan Moji had never thought about this problem before, but now he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He doesn't believe that the Ji family's reputation is not clear to the Qiao family. Just look at the fact that after Yuan Shen and Ji Mingwu got married, the Ji family and his wife treated Yuan Shen to the utmost, but they hardly had any contact with the Qiao family.

Then why spend money and go to Qiao's house to propose marriage?

——Could it be that Brother Wu of his family fell in love with Yuan Shen at first sight after meeting Yuan Shen by chance, and begged his parents to help him marry him?

Yan Moji frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he didn't feel much response.

The relationship between the original body and Ji Mingwu, who has the memory of the original body and has been with Ji Mingwu for more than a year, is very clear. Will be dismissed.

Even if Brother Wu was attracted to the original body at first, Yan Moji believes that the person Ji Mingwu likes now is himself.

It's just that the question went back to the original point - how did Ji Mingwu know his birth date?

Originally, this question only needed to be confirmed with Ji Mingwu again, but Yan Moji suddenly felt a little reluctant to ask directly.

He remembered the smell of sauced duck last time, Brother Wu's answer in the town was inconsistent with his answer when he came to Qingzhou City.

Yan Moji narrowed his eyes slightly.

——His brother Wu... seems a little dishonest?

...

With the seeds of doubt in his heart, Yan Moji would intentionally or unintentionally ask about some old things in the town in the next few days, but Ji Mingwu answered normally every time, which made Yan Moji wonder if he was thinking too much.

But soon Yan Moji didn't have much time to probe Ji Mingwu's details.

Because the branch of Assorted Food in Qingzhou City is about to open.

When he was in the small town, Qian Ping showed great interest and talent in making desserts. When he came to Qingzhou City, Yan Moji would naturally not let what Qian Ping was good at go to waste.

After the manpower shortage in the early stage, the newly hired employees in Qingzhou City have already started to cook. The current assorted food hotpot restaurant, Qian Ping's job is not as necessary as it was at the beginning. Yan Moji plans to open a dessert station. Let Qian Ping give full play to his strengths.

After Qian Ping learned of his boss's decision, he cringed a bit: "Boss, you let me build a shop by myself, aren't you afraid that I will fail?"

Qian Ping's temperament is really not suitable for doing business, unlike Li Si who is quick-witted.Yan Moji knew that Qian Ping himself thought so, so he was not surprised, and explained with a smile: "We are in the catering industry, and there are actually two types of technical posts and management posts. You are not suitable for a management post, and a technical post is not suitable. Same."

Qian Ping was more or less used to the strange words that came out of his boss's mouth from time to time.Although I don't quite understand the specific meanings of "management post" and "technical post", the general meaning is still understandable.

Yan Moji also attached great importance to Qian Ping and Li Si, the two backbones who had worked in Shi Jinshi for more than half a year and had both military strength and intelligence, and asked them about their career plans in private.

Both of them said that they planned to continue working in Mixed Food for a long time, and the Zongmen had already communicated with them, so Yan Moji seriously began to consider how to arrange the most suitable positions for the two of them.

Leaving aside Li Si, Qian Ping has a straight mind and always likes to do things by himself. He is not very good at communicating with others, and he is not very proficient in the overall development of business. He is really not suitable for being a shop owner;

But he is serious and persistent, and loves to study. After Yan Moji taught him the basic methods of making chiffon cakes and egg tarts, he has researched and adjusted many new flavors by himself. Even Yan Moji, who has tasted modern Western-style desserts in his previous life, often Can receive a surprise.

Therefore, Yan Moji planned to open a separate dessert station, specializing in the sale of desserts and sweet drinks, so that Qian Ping could concentrate on research and production.

The atmosphere of Qingzhou City is open, and you can see all kinds of religions and streams. The customers of the dessert station are mainly women who love sweets, and they are not bound by etiquette. Young women can be seen in the streets and alleys.

From the perspective of Yan Moji's previous life, female customers, whether they are rich ladies or Jianghu women, are different from normal restaurant customers. The turnover rate is low, and the owner does not need to have strong communication skills. the most important.

After coming to Qingzhou City, Yan Moji found that there were a lot more dairy products in Qingzhou City, including cow's milk and goat's milk, unlike in small towns, where he had to buy dairy products from the village below.

Therefore, in addition to the previous cake and egg tart, Yan Moji taught Qian Ping how to make several desserts and bread, and finally introduced a big killer.

"milk tea?"

Feng Wenlan, who was specially arrested, was a little puzzled: "Would you like me to drink?"

"Yes, I would like to ask you to comment on the taste from the perspective of my daughter's family." Yan Moji brought a cup of steaming brown-white drink from the back kitchen, and the sweet aroma instantly attracted Feng Wenlan's attention.

Feng Wenlan subconsciously took the cup and sniffed it closer. The sweet aroma brought by this drink called "milk tea" was more intense, but it was not as sweet as pure goat's milk, but also mixed with a rich tea aroma.

Feng Wenlan picked it up subconsciously and took a sip. The steaming milk tea had a thick milky aroma at first, without a hint of sweetness, and then you could taste the delicate tea aroma, with a clear aftertaste.

A cup of milk tea was quickly finished by Feng Wenlan in small sips, and Yan Moji looked at her expectantly: "How is it?"

Feng Wenlan put down the cup reluctantly, her beautiful eyes lingered for a long time in the porcelain cup that was not even a drop left, and then replied: "This milk tea tastes really good, but the sweetness seems to be a little bit stronger? The little girl still prefers milk tea." Lighter."

Qian Ping scratched his head in embarrassment: "I like sweets, so I added more sugar."

Feng Wenlan was taken aback, and looked at Qian Ping in surprise: "Didn't the owner cook it?"

Qian Ping said with a simple and honest smile: "My boss instructed me to do it."

Yan Moji was also very happy to see that Feng Wenlan seemed to be completely conquered by the milk tea, and said with a smile: "The amount of sugar can be added at the discretion of the front desk staff, as long as the milk tea itself tastes enough."

He paused and frowned slightly: "Actually, if there is a straw, it might be more suitable for milk tea."

It's just that people who wanted plastic products in ancient times didn't even think about it.

Feng Wenlan curiously asked about the straw Yan Moji wanted, and laughed: "Boss, I have a way to do this. Our sect is good at Qihuang, and many patients can't eat food, so they can only be fed liquid food , someone inside the door took the stems of the reeds and made them into reed pipes.”

In the end, Feng Wenlan also kindly provided the varieties of reed pipes grown in their sect.

Although most of the reeds have not sprouted new stems in this season, the dry reed tubes from last year can be used after a simple treatment. There are quite a few of these dried reeds by the Qinghe River.

The new store is located on the bank of Ninglai Lake in Qingzhou City.Ninglai Lake is an artificial lake excavated during the previous dynasty. It was originally used for flood discharge in the city, but it gradually became a place for rest and relaxation in the city.

Today, Ninglai Lake has become the largest tourist attraction in Qingzhou City, and a fast-food restaurant such as a dessert station is most suitable for this location.

This time, Yan Moji did not take the initiative in selecting the store and recruiting personnel, and handed over the full power to Qian Ping. He would only take the initiative to give pointers when Qian Ping made a mistake.

Although Qian Ping was straight-headed, he was not stupid, and he was able to learn patiently. He had nearly a year of working experience in assorted foods.

The new shop is a small two-story building, and the storefront is not too big.

During the renovation, Yan Moji provided some references. Qian Ping integrated Yan Moji’s modern decoration experience and the popular style of this era. The first floor is full of containers, and the second floor has a good view. Pleasant and warm and comfortable.

Under Yan Moji's suggestion, Qian Ping hired some decent-looking civilian women to be "salesmen".

This time, Yan Moji didn't plan to arrange waiters like ordinary restaurants, but tried to use the method of calling the number to pick up the meal.

On the one hand, whether it is cake or milk tea, the weight is very light and will not be hot, so there is no need to arrange waiters; on the other hand, judging from the sales of desserts in the town, most people prefer to take away when buying desserts. There are few dine-in restaurants.

As for the salesperson, it is considered that the main audience of the dessert station is women and children, and a gentle saleswoman can obviously make customers feel more friendly.

...

Spring is approaching, and the trend of outings is gradually rising in Qingzhou City.

Not only literati and scholars, but also rich ladies with a little bit of family background are also willing to take a stove and a few servants to enjoy the scenery by Ninglai Lake, and listen to those scholars reciting poems.

You Sanniang made a marriage a few years ago, and it stands to reason that she should study hard at home as a female celebrity and cultivate her self-cultivation, but this marriage is not very satisfactory. You Sanniang is inevitably restless and irritable after being bored at home for a long time. In the beginning of spring, I took You Sanniang and You Siniang who was not yet ready to go out together to relax by Ninglai Lake.

Keep the servants guarding the lord's house a little further away, not far away is the sparkling lake, and the willow trees have also begun to sprout new shoots.Mrs. You intentionally made fun of it, and You Siniang was innocent and innocent, which somewhat relieved You Sanniang's recent depressed mood, and also made her feel a little more like looking at the scenery.

Looking at it, You Sanniang suddenly noticed that not far away, there were two young ladies who also looked like they were outings, sitting at the white stone round table by the lake, eating some rice cakes.

What attracted You Sanniang was that these two young ladies were not pairing tea as she usually did when she was eating snacks at home, but were holding a tall cup with both hands, as if they were sucking something from the cup with a thin tube.

Mrs. You also noticed You Sanniang's gaze, and saw that her daughter seemed to be quite interested in what the two young ladies were eating, so she ordered the servant girl to ask the servants next to the two young ladies over there.

Soon the servant girl came back and replied: "Madam, it is said that there is a new assorted food and dessert shop by the lake, and the cake and milk tea are bought from assorted food."

Mrs. You was a little puzzled: "Assorted food? Why do you seem to have heard of it somewhere?"

"Mother, I forgot, brother, they said that the grilled fish with assorted food is a must." You Siniang pouted at the side, "But they refused to take us there."

After saying this, Mrs. You also remembered, and cast a reproachful look at her little daughter: "Didn't your elder brother say it all, there are mixed fish and dragons on Suian Street, so it's fine for him to go alone, how about you, a girl who hasn't left the court?" past."

You Siniang said unhappily: "I also want to try the grilled fish hot pot."

Mrs. You was a little helpless, looked at You Sanniang who seemed to be somewhat interested in the food, thought for a while and said: "Since there is a store for the assorted food here, we might as well go and have a look."

According to the location inquired by the maid, the mother and daughter walked slowly over, and soon saw the two-story building.

Next to the three big characters "Assorted Food" on the plaque in the small building, there is also a slightly smaller "Dessert Station" engraved, and there are two flower couplets hanging outside, obviously it has not been opened for a long time.

You Siniang looked at the plaque and murmured: "Brother said, the engraved 'hot pot restaurant' on the back of the assorted food in Suian Street... This assorted food is also interesting, I don't know if it's the same restaurant, but it's the same restaurant. It also has a different name engraved on it."

Mrs. You looked over and saw that the door of this assorted food and dessert station was open, and young women came out in twos and threes with food in their hands from time to time, but there were quite a few men, only a few people dressed as scholars would come in and out.

Mostly women came in and out, which reassured Mrs. You who was concerned about her two daughters. She patted You Sanniang's hand, and took them into the assorted food together.

After entering the assorted food, the first thing you can smell is a sweet aroma, which is different from the sweetness of dates or flowers in the usual cakes, and is more inclined to pure milk sweetness.

There are rows of shelves in front of them, on which are neatly placed all kinds of desserts that they have never seen before, some look fluffy and soft, and are sprinkled with dried fruit; There are melon seeds; some are like solidified powder jelly, with a bright yellow color...

Looking at these exquisite desserts, Mrs. You originally wanted to give her daughter a taste, but she suddenly felt her mouth start to secrete saliva.

In front of the public, Mrs. You had no choice but to put on airs, and subconsciously looked at her little daughter, with a hint of anticipation in her heart.

Sure enough, You Siniang stared straight at her eyes, grabbed her sleeve and begged, "Mother, I want to eat!"

——Huh, Si Niang really still has that temperament...

Mrs. You breathed a sigh of relief, and said reproachfully, "You can't eat too many sweets."

Turning around, she ordered the maid following behind: "Pinggu, come with me to choose some pieces for Miss Fourth."

You Siniang watched her mother go forward first, looked at each other with her elder sister, hesitated for a moment before asking: "Mother always feels more anxious than us today?"

You Sanniang was amused, stroked her hair, and led her forward together.

Next to the container was a neatly dressed girl with the words "Assorted Food" embroidered on her skirt. Seeing Mrs. You coming over, she handed over a tray lined with oiled paper and a clean wooden clip very thoughtfully. : "Madam can pick up whatever she likes, and go to the counter to check out together."

It was the first time for Mrs. You to see this kind of sales method, and she was quite surprised. She looked around and saw that many ladies were choosing those delicate sweets like this, and she put down the shelf a little bit, reached out and took the clip, and let the maid hold the tray. After entering the sales area, I carefully selected them.

Each one looks delicate and exquisite, and each one smells sweet and delicious.

Mrs. You chose several in a row, and when she turned around and found that the tray was already full, she felt that she had chosen too much; she wanted to put a few back, but felt reluctant, and comforted herself that this time was for Sanniang's relaxation. It's okay to buy a few for Sanniang, put down the clip and go to checkout.

At the counter, another girl wearing a skirt embroidered with the words "Assorted Food" smiled at her and said, "Madam, would you like a cup of milk tea?"

"What is milk tea?"

The girl smiled and pointed to the milk tea counter next to her: "Our assorted food's new drink is the only one without a semicolon. It is very fragrant. You can try it."

Mrs. You looked over and found that there were a few women over there holding a cup with a reed pipe in it, which seemed to be the kind of drink that the two ladies saw at the lakeside.

Thinking that Sanniang should be interested in this milk tea, Mrs. You ordered three cups, asked the maid to pay the bill, and went up to the second floor under the guidance of the maid serving mixed food.

Although it is spring, the weather is still a bit cold.However, the second floor of this assorted food is quite exquisitely made. There is a small charcoal stove every few steps, and you can feel the warmth even with the windows open.

Mrs. You saw that there were mostly women on the second floor chatting and laughing around the tea table in twos and threes, so she didn't think about getting a private room, she took her two daughters to find a seat and sat down, and began to taste these delicate desserts.

These desserts are even more delicious than they look on the outside. The taste is rich and crispy, and the faint milky fragrance mixed with the sweet fragrance of other unknown ingredients conquered the tongues of the You family mother and daughter.

After taking two mouthfuls of dessert, You Sanniang lowered her head and took a sip of the milk tea, her eyes widened instantly - she had also drank tea and eaten shortbread cheese at home, but never thought of eating the two together.

This combination of milk fragrance and tea fragrance is so perfect?

With a few pieces of cake in the mouth and a cup of milk tea in her throat, You Sanniang also temporarily forgot about the troubles in her marriage. The happiness and satisfaction brought by the sweetness made her smile again.

While eating these delicious desserts, Mrs. You also noticed the smile on Sanniang's face, and she couldn't help but drank an extra sip of milk tea in surprise, thinking to herself that the dim sum of this assorted food was really good. The servants often come to buy it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. You felt even happier, and couldn't help but eat another piece of cake.

——It's a pity, I don't know if this milk tea can keep the original taste after buying it...Ninglai Lake is not close to home, and the servants go back and forth.

...

In fact, Yan Moji began to think about takeaway when he opened the hot pot restaurant.

However, the hot pot restaurant itself is not suitable for delivery, and lo mei and some other cold dishes alone are not worth delivering, so Yan Moji didn't consider it for the time being.

Before the dessert station opened, Yan Moji also seriously considered the possibility of delivering food.As long as the middle and high-level market can be opened up, there should actually be more dessert takeaway business than dine-in business.

But after discussing with Qian Ping, Yan Moji temporarily decided not to do the takeaway business.

The reputation of the dessert station has not been established at the beginning, the staff are all new, and Qian Ping has just begun to try to be in charge independently, so the takeaway may be even more hectic.

Moreover, after witnessing the prosperity of Qingzhou City, Yan Moji wanted to make takeout independent.

At that time, the assorted food takeaway can not only do the assorted food business, but also take over the business of other chambers of commerce, just like Eleme and Shuaituan in the previous life.I believe that there are express commissioners who are stepping on light skills, and the assorted food delivery business is definitely booming.

But this has to wait for Li Si and the others to come from the town, otherwise Yan Moji himself is not very sure that he will be able to restrain the hired Jianghu people.

——It's about the same time, I can write to Li Si and the others to leave.
