Chapter 59: Yangjiazhai was hollowed out
In this era, dishes were still mainly steamed and cooked. Only in the Jiangnan area where Zhao's economy was most developed, did the cooking start to appear.
However, in a northern border city like Jinyang City, no restaurant has used cooking as its signature brand.
Yang Family Restaurant is the absolute first.
Of course, Yang Xu taught the restaurant chefs to cook. After Yang Xu's careful guidance, those talented chefs have become more popular.
However, as a foodie, Yang Xu, who has eaten almost all over the country in another world, has hundreds of famous dishes in his head. Although he has never made many dishes by himself, he has eaten them. As long as he thinks carefully, he can make it almost the same.
That's all, it doesn't include many flavored snacks from all over the country.
With these alone, Yang Family Restaurant can often innovate, always lead other restaurants, and lead the trend of the world's catering industry.
The Yang Family Restaurant’s cooking is unique, with both color, fragrance and taste. The restaurant is up and down, and the attitude towards guests is better than that of other restaurants. In addition, those brain teasers, couplet riddles and other interesting and attractive things, their reputation spread quickly.
In just a few days, all the entire Jinyang City, both men, women, and young, knew the name of the Yang Family Restaurant.
Being able to have a meal on the second and third floors of the restaurant has become the hope of many people in Jinyang City, and even the capital to show off.
Especially the third floor with VIP private rooms, it is most popular and welcomed by scholars and nobles in Jinyang City.
No matter in any era or anywhere, there are privileged classes, and the same is true for this Jinyang City of Zhao State.
Therefore, there are always two or three VIP rooms on the third floor of the Yang Family Restaurant to entertain the powerful and powerful people in Jinyang City who do not want to provoke Yang Xu and the others, or who cannot afford to provoke him at the moment, and they can also take the opportunity to expand the connections of the restaurant.
As the capital of Ningwu Prefecture, Jinyang City is also one of the important border towns of Zhao State. The general in charge of military affairs and the prefectural office in charge of civil affairs are all in the city.
Although the Yang Family Restaurant is "covered" by Zhou Chengde, the inspector, Zhou Chengde is far from being able to cover up the sky. For example, the general and the prefect are all his superiors.
Therefore, only by climbing to the top military and political manager of Jinyang City like the general or the prefect, the Yang Family Restaurant, can we truly rest assured.
However, a small restaurant is not seen by the powerful and powerful at that level.
Even a well-known "socialist" like Yan Feixue is difficult to get into the circle of the top powerful people.
However, Yang Xu was not worried much. After all, high-ranking officials like the general or the prefect are busy with official duties every day and do not bother to make things difficult for a restaurant, so Zhou Chengde is temporarily guarding him, and the restaurant is worry-free.
According to Yan Feixue's idea, the business of Yang Family Restaurant is so prosperous that you can copy this model to other cities, open more branches, and make more money.
Yang Xing and Yang Xu both thought that it was not the time and refused.
In Jinyang City, they have Zhou Chengde to protect them, which makes some jealous and jealous people afraid and discourage them. However, in other cities, they live in both people and land. Once they open a restaurant and make trouble, it will be a headache. Maybe the early investment will be wasted.
Therefore, opening a branch should not be too conscious, and it must be discussed in the long run.
A month passed in a blink of an eye. After the restaurant closed one day, Yang Xu convened the restaurant's shareholders and held a small meeting.
At this meeting, Yang Xu summarized some of the previous shortcomings, put forward targeted suggestions for improvement, and described the beautiful future vision for everyone, which made everyone yearn for it and their blood boiled.
After the meeting, Yang Xu, on behalf of the three shareholders, paid monthly salaries to restaurant employees. From Yang Xing, the shopkeeper to the small workers who were washing dishes, they all received a large amount of money.
Yang Xu also asked everyone to vote, selected several outstanding employees, and gave them certain material rewards, and encouraged everyone to work hard, which will be the case every month in the future.
I have a good salary every month and a reward of expectation, so everyone is more motivated to work.
As for Yan Feixue, Yang Xu and Yang Xing, who represents Yangjiazhai, they distributed dividends once in the first quarter, so they were not in a hurry.
In their opinion, as long as the restaurant is there, it is a chicken that can only lay golden eggs. After a quarter, just wait for the money.
With the increasing prosperity of the business and the long-term development of Yang Xu and preparing to launch a takeaway ordering business, the staff gap in Yang Family Restaurant is getting bigger and bigger.
So Yang Xu took the time to go back to Yangjia Village and mobilized the men and women from the village to the fourteenth and forty years to help them in the restaurants in the city.
Even those village villagers who have a certain talent in carving and weaving and are ready to make some money by relying on this craft were persuaded by Yang Xu and joined his catering army.
As for Yang Hongyu, she was the lord of a village and a cold and fairy-like figure. How could she let go of her figure and work?
So Yang Xu decided to continue offering her.
In fact, in Yang Xu's imagination, Yang Hongyu could do a lot of things when she came to the restaurant.
For example, when the restaurant is full of guests, she can have a sword dance in public.
With her goddess-like face, charming and graceful figure, and a cold and fairy-like temperament, a sword dance will ensure that it will cause a sensation. Maybe her reputation will surpass Yan Feixue, the most famous courtesan in Jinyang City, in one fell swoop.
Of course, Yang Xu only dared to think about it this way. He felt that if he dared to mention this matter in front of Yang Hongyu, he would have to be beaten to a pig's head by her.
When Yang Hongyu saw that the villagers in the entire village were all done except the old, weak, sick and disabled, but she was eating and drinking for free, and all she needed was the best. Even though she was cold and indifferent, she felt a little embarrassed.
She thought carefully and found that Yang Xu looked at her again and again, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped, she couldn't help asking, "Do you need me to do something?"
"Ah..."
Yang Xu really wanted to express his true thoughts, but when he said that, he became "You are the leader of the village, how can you do things yourself? If you feel bored, you can practice swords in the village or visit the restaurant in the city! Oh, by the way, I have always wanted to learn martial arts and self-defense. When do you have time to teach me?"
Yang Hongyu Bingxue was smart and knew that Yang Xuyan was not sincere, but it was difficult to continue asking questions, so she left it alone.
As for Yang Xu's desire to learn martial arts, Yang Hongyu agreed, saying that he would come to the city every few days and give guidance to Yang Xu in the small yard behind the restaurant.
However, she also told Yang Xu that Yang Xu's muscles and bones had grown up, and it was unlikely that he would achieve great success in martial arts.
Yang Xu doesn't care about this. The main purpose of his practice with Yang Hongyu is to strengthen his body, but he didn't think about becoming a peerless master.
Yang Xu came back and took away almost all the villagers from the Yangjia Village aged 14 to 40. The originally lively village became deserted because of this.
The village was guarded by the master and grandfather, so there would be no safety issues. The villagers who entered the city were relieved.
As for the study of the Yangjiazhai children, Yang Xu did not leave it behind.
He wrote several simple textbooks himself, and wrote dozens of them in the city and distributed them to the children. He then returned to the village every seven days to teach the children to class. When he left, he would assign some homework to let the children complete it on time.
However, Yang Xu is a casual person and now he has to be busy with restaurants, so he can't continue to teach this by himself.
But he can't do it if he doesn't care about the children's studies at all.
Yang Xu thought that he was not capable of bringing out a top scholar, so he planned to wait until the villagers had money, so he let the children go to the private schools or academy in Jinyang City to continue studying according to their wishes.
As for where the children can go in the future, it depends on their own luck.
Yang Xu led them into the art and taught them the basic principles of doing things, even if they were successful.
