Chapter 290 Time is pressing but there is nothing I can do
Liao Weizhang was not very particular about food. He was a county magistrate before. He was an honest official and almost never went to restaurants. The dishes cooked at home were all very ordinary home-cooked dishes. He heard Yao Si's description, he swallowed a little, picked up a piece and fed it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, nodded and said, "The taste is really great, and the chief clerk also tasted it."
Shan Cha had already picked up one, took a bite, and exclaimed: "It is worthy of being Wuji Restaurant. Although this restaurant is expensive, it makes sense. The taste is both the fragrance of pork, the fresh mushrooms, and the soft egg skin, which is very good to match."
Seeing that Lan Xin did not move her chopsticks, Yao Si whispered to her: "Eat quickly and eat more. For me, you are you, just like me, don't be restrained."
Lan Xin looked at Yao Si gratefully. She was taught how to serve people since she was a child. She had already engraved her magnanimity in her bones. At this time, Jingzhao Yin and the chief clerk were sitting opposite her. She was a little girl sitting on the table. It was already good that she was not scared to cry.
When Yao Si advised her like this, she felt a little relieved. Although she still didn't dare to raise her eyes, she still picked up one with her chopsticks and then chewed it carefully.
After eating the first dish, Yao Si tasted the next few dishes and asked the other three people what they felt. Without exception, the taste was extremely delicious. It seemed that the Wuji Restaurant was indeed worthy of its name. After dinner, she explained her intentions and smiled embarrassedly at Liao Weizhang: "Sir, the Tiannong Guiyun Pavilion in Baihua Street is just an ordinary small restaurant. I hope that the adults can enjoy the scenery at that time, and the small shop will be full of glory."
Liao Weizhang was stunned, "You want to do business?" Yao Si is a student, how could he start a business? Not to mention that this insulted the identity of a literati, Yangshan Academy will start school in a few days. Could she---
Seeing Liao Weizhang's shock and disbelief, Yao Si explained with a smile: "It was my parents who came to Beijing to find a living. I helped me with some help before I entered school. We were planning to open a restaurant on Baihua Street. Considering that I was going to enroll, I decided to open a restaurant in Dawaitian.
Actually, after I happened to know about the evil deeds of forcing the girl to rob the young man that day, I took the initiative to report to the old man to the official position. But this matter was indeed a troublesome thing that caused trouble for the adults. I was determined to apologize to the adults.
But I am ashamed to say that I am also selfish inviting adults to dinner. In fact, I want to ask the adults to help me try the taste of this place. In the future, if the adults are willing to come here with their faces, I would like to ask for an evaluation."
Liao Weizhang laughed and said, "What's the problem? Since Lingzun Lingtang is going to open a restaurant, I will definitely send a gift when the time comes."
Yao Si smiled slightly and gave gifts, but it was not necessarily her present. She knew what Liao Weizhang was worried about. She opened a restaurant by a civilian. If Jingzhao Yin was there, others would inevitably be more suspicious. She actually didn't care whether Liao Weizhang was present or not. The important thing was that gifting was enough.
"Since that's the case, I'll thank you first." She thanked Fuli.
After a few people had dinner, Liao Weizhang claimed that he would go to the yamen to do business, so he said goodbye to Yao Si. Before leaving, he wanted to go to check the bill, but was told that Yao Si had settled the bill earlier. Liao Weizhang was very embarrassed. How could he let a little girl invite him to dinner? Thinking of this, he felt more determined. He must give a gift to congratulate him at that time. He had to avoid suspicion. Even if he could not come to the door in person, the gift would not be too cold.
Yao Si waited until Liao Weizhang and Shan Cha walked away, and then he walked to the other end with a wind under his feet. Lan Xin followed behind. Seeing her so hurrying, he said worriedly: "Miss, what happened?"
"Nothing happened, it's because there are too many things. I went back to Jinbuju first. I signed the contract without authorization. I don't know if my parents would blame me. In fact, it was because the variables exceeded my expectations. Many things that were not related were inexplicably connected. Now I have to put everything together." Yao Si said in a panic as he walked.
Although Lan Xin was confused, she also grasped the key to this problem. "The girl said that Guiyun Pavilion opened the day after tomorrow. Is it too late?" There was also the additional rent of 100 taels. She really wanted to ask why, but she couldn't find the opportunity to ask. The girl would never do a loss-making business.
Yao Si walked too fast and was already breathing a little. "It's too late to come. Now it's an arrow on the string."
Lan Xin shut up and knew that time was really too tight, so she thought to herself that she just needed to be obedient and not to ask questions and make the girl upset.
Yao Si returned to Jinbuju, and Yan was working in the house. When she walked over, she saw her mother writing and painting at the desk table, with an abacus on her hand. Forty or fifty names were written on a piece of paper next to her. After careful look, she found that her father's handwriting was revealed.
"Mom, this is----" She looked at it: "Is this the name of the dish?" She was very surprised in her tone.
Yan nodded with a smile: "Your father bought it, and he also set a price. Your father said he wanted to buy thirty tables, chairs, stools, and 100 sets of bowls, chopsticks and plates. In short, there are a lot of things to prepare, and I'm calculating how much it will cost."
No wonder Yao Si was surprised. She pointed to Liu Si and asked, "What is this?"
Yan smiled embarrassedly: "Cold cucumber shredded, your father took it. He said those noble people like these elegant dishes. The dishes are still what I usually make. I just changed the name. How about it, how can I get this one?"
Yao Si was amused and cried, nodded and said, "Okay, of course, the name given by my father is naturally good, except for me, who is a little bit obscene."
Yan said seriously: "Your father really gave you a little casually, but he had calculated this name, which is excellent and can help you turn bad luck."
Yao Si picked up another piece of paper that had not been finished, and it was all about the prices of vegetables. What surprised her was that these dishes were 100 to 150 yuan each, and even more expensive than 300 yuan, which was more than a little expensive than Wuji Restaurant.
Although this price was indeed what she thought, she didn't expect that her parents would accept such a price. In fact, it would be easy to scare away customers, but she set the customer targets at the beginning of the time being those high-ranking officials and prominent people, so the price is indeed more expensive than ordinary people.
Those people don’t care whether the price is expensive or not. As long as the food tastes good, it is reasonable. She is very confident about her mother’s craftsmanship. Today, she went to eat the food from Wuji Restaurant, and the taste was indeed very good, but compared with her mother’s craftsmanship, it was still a little inferior, which made her feel more confident. As long as the preparation is well laid, Guiyun Pavilion will definitely become famous on the day it opens.
"Mom, I'm good at making a decision. I rented the shop on Baihua Street, signed the contract, and I've decided on the name, so I'll call it Guiyun Pavilion. We'll be busy day and night in the next few days, because we'll open it in Dawaitian no matter what."
