Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 356 How about we get together?

After Su Jing finished speaking, she actually felt a little hesitant in her heart.

But when thinking about modern history, Su Jing felt that if he could do something, he should try his best to do it.

For a feudal dynasty, it is better to remain unchanged than to change. The ruler does not need social progress, as long as his own rule remains stable.

But the world is too big, and the stability maintained by oneself with backwardness is not worth mentioning in the face of powerful external forces.

"Student understands, thank you, Mr. Su!"

Zhu Xi bowed to Su Jing again.

He is still somewhat ignorant of what Su Jing said.

It is obviously talking about what you want to do and what you don't want to do, but in the end, it has something to do with Guangkai's education and technological development.

Zhu Xi didn't understand the connection between them at all.

But just remember it, anyway, when my father asks about it, I can directly report it.

"Okay, you don't have to be so formal, just be more casual. The prince should have told you that I don't like too much formality."

Su Jing said to Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi nodded and said respectfully: "Brother indeed said that Mr. Su is very approachable."

"Come on, let's eat something, the food will take a while, and it's good to pad your stomach."

Su Jing picked up the pastry on the table and ate it.

Immediately, Zhu Xing also started to eat together, and he was surprised as soon as he ate it.

Not to say how delicious, but the taste is very strange.

In ancient times, the main flavor of pastries was one word, sweet.

After all, sweetness is the taste that can bring people happiness.

But Jinling Hotel is opened by Su Jing, so naturally it won’t just be sweet.

Sweetness, sourness and even bitterness are all incorporated into the pastry by Su Jing, which is quite novel.

"Mr. Su, the taste of these pastries is really strange."

After Zhu Xi finished eating one, he immediately said to Su Jing.

Su Jing said lightly: "Personally, I don't have much preference for sweetness, so the taste here will be a bit strange, so I'm used to it."

Zhu Xi nodded and said, "It's delicious, students are used to eating it."

Su Jing said indifferently: "Speaking of this taste, King Qin, do you know that the wealth of a region can often reflect the level of local economic development."

"Is there such a thing, please teach me, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi immediately showed a rather curious expression and asked urgently.

Su Jing said: "I don't know if King Qin has observed the tastes of other people. Generally speaking, officials, especially officials from government universities, have a lighter taste, but if they are ordinary people, the taste will be a lot heavier."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is just the general situation. Some tastes that have been cultivated since childhood will still be carried when they grow up."

Zhu Xi thought about it carefully and said, "Mr. Su, I only know that in the Ming Dynasty, the military generals have heavier tastes, while the civil servants have lighter tastes."

Although Zhu Xing did not have as many opportunities as Zhu Biao to eat with civil servants and military generals, there were still some.

When Su Jing mentioned it, he naturally thought of it.

"The King of Qin is very observant. This is actually proved. Because military generals mainly fight on the front line, they consume a lot of physical energy every day and sweat a lot, so their appetite must be greater than that of the civil servants. In addition, I don't know if King Qin has tasted it. It’s salty to sweat through your own, isn’t it?”

Su Jing said to Zhu Xi indifferently.

Zhu Xi immediately said: "The one I tasted is salty, the same taste as salt."

As a bear child, it is a normal operation to taste the smell of sweat.

Su Jing smiled and said: "By the way, the most important ingredient in the human body's sweat is salt, also known as sodium chloride."

Sweat is salt?

Sodium chloride?
Su Jing's words that came out of nowhere completely stunned Zhu Xi.

"Mr. Su, the students don't understand very well."

Zhu Xi immediately said: "There is salt in this sweat, students can understand it, but what is this sodium chloride?"

Zhu Xi, who has never been in contact with chemistry, naturally knows nothing about it.

Su Jing explained patiently: "Sodium chloride is just a name. You can understand it as another name for salt, but sodium chloride is purer."

"In layman's terms, everything in this world is composed of some basic elements. Different combinations form different things. The things that make up salt are chloride ions and sodium ions. Name it sodium chloride, which is why salt is called sodium chloride."

For those who haven't learned it, Su Jing can only explain it in this way.

Zhu Xing listened, his heart was extremely shocked, and his expression was also surprised: "So there is such a saying, is salt so miraculous?"

Su Jing said lightly: "Sodium chloride is actually a chemical expression method. If King Qin wants to learn, I can teach you."

Chemical?

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Su Jing say that he could teach him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

However, after a while, Zhu Xi shook his head and said: "Mr. Su, forget it, I know my ability, and being able to study economics with Mr. Su is already my limit. I still understand the truth of."

Zhu Xi is still very clear about his own situation.

I used to be playful and not serious about studying, but now I still need to make up the foundation.

He hadn't learned anything about chemistry at all, and it would take a lot of energy to start from scratch.

"Alright, when you feel like learning, you can always come to me."

Su Jing didn't force it, but felt that Zhu Xi was very sensible.

After this enlightenment, I became much clearer about what I want and what I can do.

"Thank you Mr. Su."

Zhu Xing immediately nodded his thanks.

Su Jing continued: "I still said about the problem of taste. Military generals consume a lot of energy, sweat a lot, and lose a lot of salt. If the salt is lost, it will naturally be replenished. Foods with a lot of salt will naturally taste heavy. .”

"In the same way, for those places with a low level of economic development, they need to eat a lot of food and can't afford too many dishes, so they can only eat with heavy taste."

"And the more prosperous the place, the people have money in their hands, and there are more things to eat. They no longer stick to the seasoning, and the taste will naturally be lighter."

"So, when you arrive in a new area, pay attention to the eating habits of the local people, and you can see the general economic development."

Su Jing also saw the relationship between taste and economy from other sources. After careful consideration, the reason can still be understood.

Zhu Xi's brain is actually not that stupid. Su Jingjing said that he understood so well, so he naturally understood.

"I see. I didn't expect such a small taste preference to contain such a big livelihood. Mr. Su is really amazing!"

Zhu Xi sighed sincerely.

It was something he had never thought of before, that eating could be linked to the economy.

Su Jing said indifferently: "King Qin, there is an inevitable connection between all things, and the gathering of many small changes is a big event."

"This is especially true in economics. Huge business opportunities are often hidden in tiny things."

"Let's not talk about how to manage Daming's economy well. We only talk about being a successful businessman. You must have keen observation skills and notice the details that others don't pay attention to. Only then can you take the lead in the market."

Zhu Xi wanted to study business and engage in economics, so Su Jing talked to him more about this aspect.

Su Jing is quite proficient in teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

"Students are taught."

Zhu Xing said respectfully.

After a while, Su Jing reckoned the time and felt that it was almost the same, she got up and said to Zhu Xi: "It's almost time, let's go to the kitchen and have a look."

The back kitchen was still busy, Su Jing looked at the braised pork in the pot, and tested the tenderness with chopsticks.

It was almost done, and he immediately increased the firepower and began to collect the juice.

After a while, a portion of braised pork came out of the pan.

"Try it."

Su Jing handed Zhu Xi a pair of chopsticks directly, and motioned him to try it.

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Salty, fragrant and soft, it melts in the mouth.

"good to eat!"

Zhu Ming immediately exclaimed, and then picked up another piece to taste, but when he saw Su Jing beside him, he put down his chopsticks.

"It's okay, you can eat as much as you want."

Su Jing smiled, and yelled out again: "Bring in a bowl of braised pork."

"coming."

Soon someone came in with a bowl of braised pork.

"This……"

Zhu Xi was a little surprised, but didn't understand what Su Jing meant.

Su Jing said with a smile: "Eat this bowl too, and see which one is more delicious."

The newly brought bowl was naturally not made by Su Jing, but by the chef of the Jinling Hotel. The thirteen spices that were ground into powder were not used, but normal spices.

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi then took a bite of the newly served braised pork.

Salty, fragrant and soft, it melts in the mouth.

"This is delicious too!"

Zhu Xi said to Su Jing again, his face full of surprise.

Zhu Xi knew the quality of the imperial chefs in the palace, and he thought the restaurants outside were of average level.

Unexpectedly, it was so delicious.

But after thinking about it, it is only natural that this restaurant belongs to Su Jing.

Su Jing asked: "Then which one do you think is more delicious?"

It would be perfect for Zhu Xi, a prince who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, to judge the same dish.

If it is an ordinary person who has never eaten anything good, it is difficult to find the subtle difference.

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Su, I want to eat two more pieces to feel it."

"Eat, finish eating and tell me."

Su Jing urged immediately.

Zhu Xi nodded, and quickly took another piece and tasted it carefully.

After a while, he said, "Mr. Su, the taste of these two braised pork is very similar, and they are both delicious, but the braised pork you made has a slightly astringent taste, which is slightly worse."

He did not dare to tell the truth because it was Su Jing who did it, but directly expressed his conclusion.

Su Jing nodded and said: "Sure enough, it's not good to use powder directly, but it's not bad if you can get [-]% to [-]%."

Su Jing was not surprised by this result.

Thirteen spices are indeed a good thing, but after being powdered, they will be integrated into the dishes and the spices cannot be filtered out.

A real chef uses spices to prepare the dishes. When cooking, the ratio and timing of the ingredients are different, and the dregs must be salvaged at the end.

Thirteen incense is convenient, both advantages and disadvantages.

"Mr. Su, I did not say anything wrong."

Seeing that Su Jing hadn't spoken, Zhu Xi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's okay, what I want is the truth."

Only then did Zhu Xi feel relieved, and he said: "Mr. Su, although the taste of Shisanxiang is slightly flawed, it is still delicious. If this product is sold, it will definitely make a lot of money."

"If you let me sell it, I don't sell restaurants and restaurants, I only sell the private kitchens of high-ranking officials and nobles. As long as I open the door, I will definitely make money."

It's just the beginning, and Zhu Xi has already started to think about how to make money with Thirteen Fragrances.

Su Jing asked curiously: "Oh, then why do you think it shouldn't be sold to restaurants and restaurants? In terms of consumption, this restaurant and restaurant is the big one, and the purchase volume is also very large."

Zhu Xi replied immediately: "Mr. Su, because the taste is too similar, ordinary people can't taste it. If it is sold to restaurants and restaurants, it will be the same to ordinary people. That is to steal their own business."

"If you're a good eater, you'll naturally be able to taste the difference, and you won't buy it in high-end restaurants. It's still suitable for the private chefs of dignitaries."

Hearing Zhu Xi's words, Su Jing laughed and said: "The mouths of high-ranking officials and nobles are generally more powerful. Since you said that the food is different, how can you sell it to them?"

Zhu Yu replied: "Mr. Su, this is the key point. Thirteen incense can make [-]% to [-]% of the original, and you can taste the difference, but it is also delicious. For dignitaries, not everyone can I come to the restaurant every day to eat, and the ones made by Shisanxiang on weekdays can also handle it."

"With time, when you want to eat better, you will naturally think of Jinling Hotel. Wouldn't it be possible to increase business for Jinling Hotel?"

"However, Lishui County is too small. I suggest that Mr. Su open another Jinling Hotel in the capital. The business will definitely explode then!"

Zhu Xing has already fully substituted into it, carefully thinking about the pros and cons.

Su Jing nodded in satisfaction and said: "King Qin, very good, since your thoughts are so full, how about we get together?"

join as a partner?

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "If Mr. Su orders it, the student will naturally be willing!"

Su Jing said with a smile: "Okay, since you agreed, we have to agree on three terms. I will pay for the Jinling Hotel in the capital. You will pay for the land, and the daily operations will be managed by you. In terms of profit income, the four of us will be responsible for it." How about you six?"

"That won't do!"

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Mr. Su, the core of this Jinling Hotel depends entirely on you. How can I account for [-]% of it? I only need [-]% of it."

Zhu Xi is not short of money, it is his great honor to be able to do business with Su Jing, even if he doesn't need money.

But Zhu Xi knew that Su Jing was not this kind of person, so he asked for [-]% symbolically.

Su Jing naturally saw Zhu Xi's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can ask for [-]% of the profit, but it can be agreed in advance, I have a lot of money, but I don't care, if there is anything you have to solve by yourself .”

Zhu Xi said happily: "Don't worry, sir, the students will definitely do their best!"
