Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 123 Dead Horses as Living Horse Doctors

Shen Jiayan returned to the inn, guessing that the Shen family would still not give up, maybe they would find it in the next two days.

She'd better leave early tomorrow morning, then there is not much time left, to buy things for the family, and also to buy some utensils for refining white sugar.

So, carrying two packs of mushrooms left over from the beginning, I walked directly to the busiest street in the county.

There are many shops on this street, and there are several restaurants from the street to the end of the street.

Shen Jiayan had already inquired about it a long time ago. The best business in the county is called Juxian Tower. It is said that a master chef was invited from the capital. He cooks delicious dishes and is praised by everyone.

The rich and official families in the county would usually come to Juxian Building for treats. Although the price is not cheap, an ordinary meal costs several taels of silver, let alone a high-quality one.

It is said that the private rooms are fully booked every day, and the business is very good.

The business of the other few restaurants is not as good as Juxianlou, especially Zuixianlou. This restaurant used to be the number one in the county, but since Juxianlou hired a master chef from the capital, his family's business has declined. It's getting worse day by day.

Zuixianlou was originally an ancestral income. It is said that the restaurant was opened by the imperial chef who retired from old age and returned to his hometown. It has been passed down for two generations. It is said that many dishes are from the imperial dining room.

It's a pity that the generation of chefs above Zuixianlou passed away at an early age, and many recipes were not passed on to the current chefs in time.

The current chef is quite talented. Although the inheritance was interrupted, his cooking skills are not bad, and those old customers are nostalgic, so it is not a problem.

But when the new master chef of Juxian Building came, and the current chef's mother-in-law's family, in order to get kickbacks, they bought a batch of low-quality ingredients at high prices and pretended to be good ingredients.

Just in time to prepare a banquet for a very important guest and let people eat it, the reputation of Zuixianlou will be stinky all of a sudden.

Later, although news came out that the Zuixianlou was plotted by someone, but in the end, the most important ingredients of a restaurant were all wrong, which naturally made people worry, and it gradually declined.

Nowadays, there are still some old foundations, supported by old customers, and the price of Zuixianlou is cheap, so it is still supported.

But recently the decline has become more and more obvious, and I heard that several juniors have been dismissed.

If the business continues like this, I'm afraid that Zuixianlou will really close down.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is embarrassing. When Zuixianlou opened, the scenery was unrivaled, and now it has ended up in such a state. Isn't it embarrassing?

Shen Jiayan's goal today is this Zuixian Tower.

When we arrived at the gate of Zuixian Tower, sure enough, although it was already past the meal time, when passing through Juxian Tower, after the meal time, there were still many guests coming in and out at the door to eat.

Here in Zuixian Tower, there are few people.

Two shop assistants were sitting listlessly at the door with white handkerchiefs on their shoulders, chasing flies listlessly.

There were no guests in the hall. Compared with the Juxian Building not far away, the contrast was so stark.

When Shen Jiayan approached, the two shop assistants were taken aback for a moment, as if they didn't believe that there were still customers at this time?
After rubbing his eyes, he asked cautiously, "This guest, do you want to eat?"

Shen Jiayan shook her head: "I have something to do with your shopkeeper."

The light in the waiter's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, but he didn't lose his face. Even though Shen Jiayan was dressed poorly, one of them still smiled and brought her inside: "Please—"

Shen Jiayan walked into Zuixianlou, looked around, and found that although there were no customers, the seats in the restaurant were still polished and the floor was tidied up, and it didn't feel sticky when stepped on.

And the white kerchief on the waiter's shoulders is not new, but it has been washed clean.

The cuffs and neck of the waiter's clothes are also clean, without any oil stains.

The same goes for the outstretched hand. The nails of all ten fingers are cut close to the flesh, and the seams between the nails are clean without any black stains.

Behind the counter, although the shopkeeper had a sad face, when he saw Shen Jiayan coming in, he immediately burst into laughter: "Is the customer looking for something?"

Shen Jiayan picked up the remaining two packs of mushrooms and put them on the counter: "I have some mushrooms I picked at home, ask the shopkeeper if they will take it?"

The shopkeeper looked Shen Jiayan's clothes up and down, and sighed, "Sister, you see, the business of my restaurant is mediocre. If it's an ordinary mountain fungus, we can accept it. If it's a good one, our family probably won't buy it." Can't afford the price."

As he spoke, he opened the cloth bag and took a look, showing surprise.

He took out a few mushrooms and smelled them: "The best porcini mushrooms."

After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Big sister, your fungus is of good quality, it is really a good thing, but it is useless for my family to collect this good thing, and it can't be sold! Why don't you sell it to the Juxian Building in the front , his family needs such a good thing!"

Hearing what he said, Shen Jiayan was kind and honest, and she knew it in her heart.

Seeing no one around, the waiter went to guard the door again, and said in a low voice: "I came here to sell it to your house, so of course I have a reason! If you don't want the mushrooms, do you want the recipe?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, first overjoyed, and then sighed when he saw Shen Jiayan's attire: "Big sister, you must have heard about the situation in my restaurant, so don't make jokes—"

Shen Jiayan said sternly: "I'm not joking. I have two recipes here. One is a recipe for braised vegetables, and the other is Buddha jumping over the wall. I wonder if the shopkeeper is interested?"

Seeing that Shen Jiayan was serious, the shopkeeper looked her up and down carefully for a long time, and then asked her to wait for a while, and went straight to the back kitchen.

It took a long time to bring out a middle-aged man. Because of the hot weather, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong muscles. It looked like he had exercised himself with a spoon.

The man's face was somewhat gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and there was hope in his eyes. When he came out and saw Shen Jiayan, he was taken aback for a moment, the light of hope was about to disappear, and he turned around and left.

He was stopped by Shen Jiayan: "With the current situation of your restaurant, I'm afraid it will close down soon, right? Why don't you listen to my recipe and house, maybe a dead horse can be treated as a living horse doctor, and it can be rescued?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't know what expression to show.

It stands to reason that if you really want to sell recipes, shouldn't you brag about your own recipes?Why do you say that your recipe is a dead horse?

But these words made the chef stay, he took Shen Jiayan to find a seat in the hall and sat down, served tea, and signaled Shen Jiayan to continue.
