Chapter 28 The whole city is waiting for the Drunken Immortal Tower
Early on the next morning, Hongxiu said hello to Cao Yi who was still exercising in the morning, and left in a hurry, taking with him four girls, Xi Ren, She Yue, Qiu Wen and Qixi, besides Xi Ren
Because the maid who serves the bed has nothing to do during the day, the other three maids choose one of their respective pairs to take turns. This way, someone is doing the work within Qingyun Pavilion, and they can also take turns to go outside to learn new talents.
This was the method that the maids had discussed among themselves last night, and Cao Yi ignored them. After signaling to Hongxiu, he continued to exercise until the end. After taking a bath and eating breakfast, Cao Yi did not go out, and
He was waiting at home for Xiong Qing to bring his two junior brothers over.
Not long after I sat down in the study and took a sip of the tea brought by Bihen, Xiong Qing had already led his two junior brothers over.
"Young Master, the villain Xiong Qing has brought my two junior brothers here." Xiong Qing smiled in a flattering manner, then turned to the two junior brothers and said, "Hurry up and say hello to the Young Master."
"The villain Hua Wen, Hua Wu pays homage to the young master!"
"Pfft!" When Cao Yi heard their greetings, the sip of tea he had just taken into his mouth spurted out. Fortunately, he turned his head sideways, otherwise it would have sprayed all over the "Zui Xian Lou" calligraphy he had written on his desk.
Cao Yi patted his chest, calmed down the breath that was choked just now, and said "No courtesy." Then he saw two round faces raised up, and they turned out to be rare twins. They looked pretty good.
He has a fat head and big ears, a shiny face, thick lips, eyes so small that they are narrowed to a slit, and his belly is round and straight like Xiong Qing's. He is indeed a senior brother, even his looks are similar.
Cao Yi didn't exchange too many greetings. He got up and went to the dining room with them to see how the actual cooking skills were.
The two brothers cooked a dish for Cao Yi respectively, one cooked fish and the other cooked meat. Both of them were very good. In terms of the cooking skills of this era, they were already relatively top-notch. Cao Yi signed a contract with them on the spot.
, it states that Hua Wen Hua Wu will be sold to Zuixian Tower as a long-term laborer, and the contract period is ten years. The monthly payment will be the same in the first year, and will increase by 200 yuan every year. This monthly payment is very good for them, who are still newcomers, and it is also good.
It can grow every year, so I signed the contract happily.
In the next morning, Cao Yi showed the three people, including Xiong Qing, the modern wok cooking techniques. He taught by words and deeds what are stir-frying, frying, sticking, cooking, deep-frying, stewing, stir-frying, boiling, stewing, stewing, etc.
Roast, grill, brine, sauce, smoke, grill, braising, pickling, stewing, simmering, stewing, mixing, shredding, tell them which stage of the stir-fry process they are used in. Also learn about knife skills, feeding, sizing, and battering techniques.
Special guidance was given on thickening the sauce, controlling the time and quantity of seasoning, and the techniques of turning and plating.
At that time, the three senior brothers Xiong Qing and Hua Wen and Hua Wu were amazed, and they admired Cao Yi very much. He was a cook himself, and when he saw Cao Yi cooking in an iron pot and tasting the taste of each dish, he was stunned.
You will now know the advantages of using an iron pot for cooking. Not only can the dishes be more juicy and delicious, but the ingredients and cooking methods that can be cooked have been greatly improved.
A layman watching the fun, an expert watching the door. Xiong Qing and Hua Wenhuawu, who are good cooks, were shocked by Cao Yi's profound knowledge and cooking skills. They begged Cao Yi on the spot to spend more time to teach them. Cao Yi was
The sentence "Young master brings you in, cultivation is up to you" was blocked back.
Then Cao Yi told Hua Wen and Hua Wu that Zui Xian Lu hadn't started business yet, so he would stay here to help Xiong Qing in the past few days, and at the same time practice more cooking techniques in iron pots. He also asked Xiong Qing to tell the treasury manager.
, two more sets of iron pots and shovels are added in the dining room for practice.
Then he waved his sleeves and never left the dining room without taking away a piece of oil smoke.
Of course, for lunch, Cao Yi also specially asked his three brothers to cook up three or four stir-fried dishes and deliver them to Qingyun Pavilion. They tasted pretty good. After learning it all morning, he was already good at it. He was indeed the master of eating for others.
, one click is all it takes.
This also makes Cao Yi more optimistic about the prospects of Zuixian Restaurant. Delicious food, excellent wine and unparalleled service, coupled with the prosperous location and high-end restaurant contributed by the Shen family, Cao Yi does not believe that he cannot attract customers.
.
After lunch, Cao Yi called Qingwen and asked her to follow him to visit a few people in the afternoon. Hongxiu had been following him before, but now there were suddenly fewer people around, and she felt a little uncomfortable going out to do things.
When going out, he first went to Zhu Lao's house to get Shitan Taibaizui, and asked the servant to load the carriage. Then he and Qingwen went out together. First, they went straight to He's Mansion, sent a greeting card at the door, and waited for a while before being invited in.
, it was the same garden where the Jinling Poetry Festival was held a few days ago, where Kuang Gong was practicing calligraphy. Cao Yi took a look at it from a distance and found that it was Huai Su's "Autobiography". When Kuang Gong saw Cao Yi coming, he raised his head and said hello,
He said, "Wait until I finish writing this time."
After saying this, he ignored Cao Yi. This was not because the mad man could be neglectful, but because he was immersed in the world of cursive script and did not want to be interrupted, so he came to entertain Cao Yi after finishing this writing.
After a while, after seeing Kuang Gong put away his pen, Cao Yi stepped forward and bowed, "Junior, I come here uninvited, please forgive me for being mad!"
"If so, the most talented person in Jiangning can come to visit He's house. It's too late for He to be happy. But what does a young man like you do to an old man like me? We don't have a little girl suitable for your age in our family." Madam Kuang.
He laughed and teased Cao Yi.
"Kang Gong, this junior is actually here for two things. One is to give away the two altars of 'Taibai Zui' that I promised to give to Kuang Gong before. They are a small gift from the younger generation to Kuang Gong."
"Little friend Zhaozheng, He is indeed right about you. Not only are you outstanding in talent and learning, but you are also the best in handling people and dealing with people. I will thank you in advance." The mad man heard two comments.
Taibai Zui', his eyes suddenly brightened up, he swallowed his saliva, and quickly praised Cao Yi, and asked by the way: "Little friend Zhaozheng, what is one more thing? As long as it is within the scope of He's ability
Yes, He will definitely help you."
Cao Yi pondered for a moment, collected his thoughts and said: "Actually, it is not a difficult matter. Kuang Gong should know that the Shen family lost Qingfeng Tower to me, and now I have renamed it 'Zui Xian Tower'. Today
I want to ask Kuang Gong to give me a piece of calligraphy of "Zui Xian Lou". When the time comes, I can make a plaque and hang it on the restaurant to increase the reputation of Zuixian Lou. I also want to invite Kuang Gong to attend Zuixian Lou at that time.
Cutting the ribbon for the opening, standing on the platform for the juniors, and by the way, I would like to invite Kuang Gong to taste the 'Qinglian Wine' that will be brewed soon. The deliciousness will be even better than Taibai Zui."
…
A quarter of an hour later, Cao Yi left with Kuang Gong's newly written "Zui Xian Lou" copybook. Of course, he also took away Kuang Gong's promise to attend the opening of Zuixian Lou and cut the ribbon. He ordered the driver to drive to the entrance to Jiangning Mansion School.
In the alley near the Qinhuai River, I saw Mr. Lu still sitting there, but today he was just basking in the sun and reading a book, and there was no one to talk with him.
"Mr. Lu, this junior is polite." Cao Yi walked up to Mr. Lu and performed the student salute.
"Huh! You finally remembered to come to me." Mr. Lu turned sideways and turned his head away from Cao Yi.
Cao Yi was still saluting at this time. When he saw Mr. Lu ignoring him, he was dumbfounded. He felt secretly in his heart that he didn't seem to have offended Mr. Lu in any way. At that moment, he sincerely apologized: "Mr. Lu, if this junior has any
I hope Mr. Lu will tell me which aspect I did inappropriately, and I will definitely change it."
"Get up!" Mr. Lu turned around, pointed at Jiangning Mansion not far away, and asked Cao Yi: "Do you know where this is?"
"Junior knows, it's from Jiangning Prefecture!" Cao Yi was stunned. Although he wondered why Mr. Lu asked such a question, he still answered truthfully.
"You also know that this is Jiangning Academy. Do you know that I am the direct lecturer and supervisor of this Jiangning Academy. I have already told your mother, Mrs. Korea, that you can enter Jiangning Academy without taking the exam. Why, according to Mrs. Korea
, you have to come back to school in another month? Do you look down on me and Jiangning Prefecture School? Tell me!" Mr. Lu asked Cao Yi while blowing his beard and staring.
Cao Yi quickly apologized to Mr. Lu, "Mr. Lu, you also know that the Shen family lost the Qingfeng Tower to the juniors at the Poetry Festival. The juniors have been working on the Qingfeng Tower these days. It has been renamed 'Zuixian Tower'
'Well, you also know that the Cao family's wine shop only supplied Cao's mansion before, and now it also supplies Zuixianlou in addition. So the current wine shop in Cao's mansion is not enough, so the juniors are also busy these days.
It will take some time to implement the wine shop, so I told my mother that I will not be able to go to the government school for a month."
When Cao Yi narrated all the causes and consequences, Mr. Lu's anger subsided. In addition, Cao Yi personally gave him two jars of "Taibai Zui". Mr. Lu readily agreed to give him the three-character calligraphy treasure "Zui Xian Lou" on the spot.
, and went to support it on the opening day. As for the calligraphy, Mr. Lu wrote it carefully after returning home, and then sent someone to send it to Cao Mansion.
