Three or four days have passed since the opening, but the business of Zuixian Building has never slowed down. There is always a lot of traffic and people in front of the building, which really deserves the eight words "get off your horse when you smell the fragrance, stop the car when you know the smell".

Ever since Cao Yi asked Hongxiu to increase the supply of pastries in Zuixian Tower that day, Zuixian Tower started selling pastries to the outside world the next day. Although they may not be as exquisite and delicious as those in Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital, they are at least top-notch in Jiangning City.

Hongxiu spent a lot of money overnight to buy three of the best pastry shops in the city, and then asked the pastry chefs to come directly to Zuixian Tower to set aside a place specifically for displaying and selling pastries.

The variety is quite rich, and there are quite a few to choose from, including water rice, ice and snow cold yuanzi, crystal soap, raw pickled water papaya, medicinal papaya, chicken head and sugar, mung bean licorice ice and snow cold water, lychee paste, and apricot slices

, Plum Ginger, Fragrant Candy Seeds, Jiandao Litchi, Yue Mei, Kao Dao Perilla Paste, Golden Silk Dangmei, Xiangyuan, Disu Crispy Abalone, seventeen kinds.

Among them, the five most popular desserts are ice snow cold yuanzi, raw pickled papaya, medicinal papaya, lychee paste, and crispy abalone. "Ice snow cold yuanzi" is actually the iced dumplings of later generations.

The small glutinous rice balls are boiled, soaked in water, and added with ice cubes. They are delicious when eaten and drunk, and are deeply loved by the people of Jiangning.

For "raw pickled papaya" and "medicated papaya", the papaya is peeled off the lid, removed from the pulp, filled with honey, then tightly covered, soaked overnight, and then pour out the honey. At this time, the papaya is soaked in honey and cut into small pieces.

The papaya is eaten by pricking it with a toothpick, which is called "raw pickled papaya"; as for the "medicated papaya", the papaya is cut into pieces, mixed with agarwood, sandalwood, cardamom, shrunken sand, ginger powder and brown sugar, and marinated

It's clear, it has a clear woody aroma when you eat it.

"Lychee paste" is made from ebony plum, musk, ginger, honey, cinnamon, add water and simmer slowly, remove the residue, add water and boil again to form a thick gel. Scoop a spoonful of this gel, mix it with warm water, and drink it.

However, the name is "Lychee Paste". In fact, there is no lychee, but it has the flavor of lychee. It is very similar to the milk tea of ​​later generations, and it is also very popular among people.

Disu is actually a fancy pastry processed with butter. Cows are raised in the countryside outside the city in the Great Yan Dynasty, and cheese and cream can be separated from the milk. Mix the cream with honey and sucrose, and after condensation, squeeze it into

On the plate, while squeezing and rotating, the pastries have been prepared one by one. The bottom is round, the top is pointed, and the threads go round and round. This is the most common dripping cake, commonly known as "butter abalone", also known as "dropping".

"Crisp abalone", because in the Yan Dynasty, oysters were called abalone, so they called those cream pastries that looked like oysters or snails.

These five kinds of cakes are the best-selling ones, and they are loved by everyone from the elderly to the children with yellow eyes. Not to mention the few items that must be ordered when dining in the store, even after the meal.

I want to buy some more, put them in a red plum gate and take them back to eat.

Even Hongxiu didn't expect that a common method that he followed the master's instructions would have such a good effect. However, originally these three pastry shops were among the best in Jiangning City, but because of the single type, each one

The family only has four or five kinds of pastries, and the shops are not in a busy area and are relatively scattered. Therefore, from the perspective of a single family, the business is not necessarily very good at ordinary times, so they are willing to sell the shop and the shop to Zuixianlou.

But what is unexpected is that the three pastry chefs and all the pastries put together in Zuixianlou have such a good market effect. Together with the original wine and delicacies of Zuixianlou, they formed a "fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps"

A win-win situation for "Fire Power".

This has brought the already extremely popular business of Zuixianlou to a higher level. Although the VIP card processing fee is decreasing day by day, dropping by several thousand taels every day, the business turnover has always maintained a high amount, and there are also The momentum is increasing. Since adding the pastry business, the daily turnover of Zuixianlou has reached 8,000 taels to 10,000 taels, which is almost incompatible with the daily income that Shen Yan boasted to Cao Yi. More It is open until midnight every day, and customers must be persuaded to leave and told that it is about to close before closing.

This hot situation has also led Hongxiu to urgently purchase dozens of manpower from Yapo. Sheyue and Xiren are being trained so that they can take up their duties at any time after the training is in place. Zuixianlou will conduct two shifts according to time. On the contrary, if we only rely on the original number of people, the service quality will definitely be affected by the poor physical and mental state of those waiters.

Based on Hongxiu's judgment of her young master, this would never be allowed, so she decided to purchase manpower in advance and start emergency training so that they could step in at any time. Of course, she still had to inform her young master afterwards, and he also received Cao Yi received Cao Yi's praise and praised him for his increasingly independent ability and decisive courage. This also strengthened Cao Yi's idea of ​​​​going out to Taibai Villa to participate in training.

The life of Zuixian Tower here is getting better and better. In the whole Jiangning City, as long as the restaurant is mentioned, the first thing that everyone thinks of is Zuixian Tower. However, the life of other restaurants is a bit miserable. At the end of the day, there are few Customers come to your door. But this is human nature. Since you have chosen to go to a restaurant, why not go to Zuixianlou to taste better. In addition, the service level, cooking cuisine, and wine are all very different. This also makes the owners of various restaurants miserable. They want to do something, but they have no choice. This wine is an exclusive secret and a trade secret. The wine brought back cannot be used to develop anything. Dishes For cooking, I didn’t even enter the dining room door, let alone secretly learn how to cook this “stir-fried dish”.

Even if you are daring and take risks, you still have to consider the plaque inscribed by the prefect of Jiangning hanging at the main entrance of Zuixian Tower. This will not work, and that will not work, and it will not solve the problem of few customers in the restaurant. So these days, these things The bosses who formed the "Jiangning Restaurant Co-progress Alliance" with the Shen family all sighed. It would have been great if they had signed a co-progress alliance with Zuixianlou. This idea would pop up in their minds from time to time. But there is no regret medicine in this world. Eat, since we chose to boycott Zuixianlou together at that time, now we can only swallow the bitter consequences with tears in our eyes.

However, the saying "Compassion does not govern soldiers, justice does not conduct business" still has its own truth. If businessmen want to succeed in business, most of them put profits first and morality second. There are no permanent allies, only eternal interests. Sometimes it makes sense to put down your shame and pave a bright road for yourself.

It is already late autumn. The sunshine at this time is not as sultry as in spring, nor as warm as in summer. The afternoon sun is yellow and charming but also quiet and warm. Cao Yi is facing the window on the west floor of Zuixian Building In the private room, he was basking in the sun, eating dried fruits, and reading a book. But at this time, he was leisurely looking at the scenery of the Qinhuai River outside the window. Under the sunlight, it became more and more charming.

"Sir!" Just when Cao Yi was immersed in the boundless scenery and emptied himself, Hongxiu's cry brought him back to reality.

"Hmm? What's the matter?" Cao Yi looked at Hongxiu with a slightly confused look. As the chief maid of Qingyun Pavilion, Hongxiu naturally knows the rules better. Generally, if nothing happens, she will not disturb the young master's rest, so Cao Yi guessed that there must be something.

What would happen to call him?

"Hua Rui, the shopkeeper of Huafeng Tower outside, wants to see the young master, so I will come over and report. If the young master doesn't want to see him, I will reject him." Hongxiu said respectfully.

"See, since everyone else has come, how can we turn away the door? He is a guest from afar, so invite him over." Hongxiu bowed to Cao Yi and turned around to invite Hua Rui over. Cao Yi straightened his posture.

, I secretly said in my heart: 'I'm still thinking about how long the restaurants in this "Jianning Restaurant Alliance" can last, and sure enough, the first person couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out.'

"Mr. Cao, I have admired Mr. Cao for a long time and is known as the most talented person in Jiangning. When I saw him today, he was indeed brave and graceful. I am impressed by Hua. I came uninvited today. I will disturb you a lot." Hua Rui followed Hongxiu in and saw Cao.
