Chapter 414 Giving and Reward

Huixian Tower is new!

After eliminating the roast duck and Shen Jing roast goose, Huixianlou now offers chicken-themed dishes.

Diners in the capital never knew that a chicken sold for more than ten yuan a pound could one day be made into so many kinds of dishes!

What kind of white chopped chicken, all kinds of braised chicken, stewed chicken, fried chicken, saliva chicken, beggar's chicken, three cup chicken, four cup chicken, Bobo chicken, soy sauce chicken, sesame oil chicken, salt baked chicken, crispy chicken, crispy chicken, various medicinal chicken supplements Body chicken...

The most amazing thing is a dish called flame roasted chicken. That chicken can breathe fire.

After listening to the waiter's introduction, Chuchu's customers came to take a look out of curiosity, but as soon as the fire broke closer, it burst into flames. The guests were startled.

After being frightened, I came back to my senses and said, "Tian Niang, I am absolutely amazing!" I don’t know what was smeared on the chicken, but it caught fire all of a sudden. The fire burned so high that it brought out the original flavor of the roasted chicken, which made it smell fragrant. Not only does it smell good, it also looks good.

Full of fun to watch!
Huixianlou is popular again. After two days away from the guest, the flow returned again.

Of course, the revolving table on the first floor is never crowded. Those who ran away were just those guests in the private room who were bewitched and did not dare to offend the King of Chu. As a result, a dish of flame-roasted chicken and various chicken-themed dishes brought the customers back again.

Seeing that the building was full of people, the head shopkeeper Jiang Li flipped through the booking book and saw that all the reservations had been scheduled for half a month. He bared his teeth and smiled happily.

Shan Cai, the second shopkeeper, felt relieved because something happened during his purchase.

"Now look at how arrogant those over at the Yingbin Building are. You think we're going to catch the ducks and geese without any help? What a joke." Their princess has a lot of ideas, adding new ones every day, so you should follow and learn from them.

"The boss, Princess Lu has asked the Shan family to help find ducks and geese, and has already purchased a batch. This time it is paid in cash, and half-sized ones are also bought, and they are placed in the prince's village. Come on, I think it will last for a while. Do you want to serve roast duck and roast goose?”

Jiang Li thought for a while and shook his head, "Let's wait for the popularity of the chicken to subside first. We also have to wait for the ducks and geese to be more abundant before serving these two dishes. Otherwise, the supply will be cut off midway. What will happen to the guests who booked it? explain."

"Yes. Then I will inform the Shan family to continue to increase efforts to find sources of goods. We will also purchase duck and goose seedlings in large quantities. Lin Jing'an also sent back good news, saying that he has found a lot of duck and goose seedlings in Changping. For ducks and geese, I’m going to send someone to bring the goods back. In addition, there are notices on the wall at the North and South Grocery Store asking for ducks and geese, and anyone who provides information will also be charged an information fee.”

Jiang Li nodded. With help from Shan's family, Lin Jing'an's help in searching, and notices from the North and South Grocery Stores, businessmen traveling from south to north would probably transport ducks and geese from other places if they saw the business opportunities. Come and sell.

But with the Yingbin Building becoming a monster, the price of ducks and geese is expected to increase.

It's better to wait until they have enough supplies before introducing the dishes, so as to give them a slap in the face.

On the other side is the entrance that was renamed "Guanlan Library" by Jiang Xiang.

"Brother Xia, I haven't seen you in the past two days. What are you busy with?" A young man who looked like a student came over and greeted another student.

Xia Pingzhang turned around and smiled, "It's Brother Lu." As the person approached, he exchanged a few words and said, "I just came back from my hometown."

"You returned to Changping? But something happened at home?"

"Not really." After thinking about it, Lu Zhaoshui was acquainted with Lu Zhaoshui in front of him, and he didn't hide it from him. "We raise some ducks and geese at home. In previous years, we only raised them for the New Year to eat for ourselves and to give to relatives and friends. I heard that Huixianlou I was looking for something to buy there, so I went back home and helped transport it with my father and brother to sell it. "The two dishes of Huixianlou's roast duck and Shenjing roast goose are well-known in the capital. I heard that everyone who has eaten them is impressed by the taste. Never forget.

But both of them are students from poor families, and it is extremely difficult for them to study at home. A meal at Huixianlou costs at least half a tael and one tael of silver. I heard that the two dishes are even more expensive and they cannot afford them.

The shortage of ducks and geese in Huixianlou originally had nothing to do with them, but these poor students received great favors from the Guanlan Library. Because they usually helped copy books and paint, they got a special badge and could read books in the library without making an appointment. And borrowing books, although they were gentle, they also wanted to repay the king of Yue.

"So that's it." Lu Zhaoshui felt a little regretful after hearing this, "It's a pity that no one in our village raises ducks and geese, otherwise I would bring them home."

Xia Pingzhang smiled sheepishly, "It's a pity that I don't raise many at home. There are only about twenty of them in total. This time I shipped them all, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to sell the Fairy House for half a day. Fortunately, there are people in our village who raise them." , there must be two to three hundred in total. This time they were all transported with my father and brother."

This...it takes at least two days and one night to drive the oxcart from Changping to Beijing to be sold. It probably won't be sold at a sky-high price. The cost along the way...

"I didn't think about that."

Xia Pingzhang didn't think about the expenses. He just listened to the stewards in the library talking about how Huixian Tower encountered someone maliciously cutting off the supply of goods, so he thought about what to do, that's all.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zhaoshui had to praise him for his good character and his kindness.

Considering that his family is not rich either, even worse than my own, the family may have to spend a lot on traveling back and forth this time, and food this month may be in a hurry again.

He stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders, "Come on, we're almost too busy since you haven't been here these days. New dishes are served at Huixian Tower, all kinds of chicken. We light up lamps and cook wax paintings. If you can't draw enough, Huixianlou has to worry about it, and the price is pretty good. A small painting half the size of a palm costs fifteen cents! You can draw much faster than me now, and you can probably draw four or five in a day! Ten pictures. We work together, you draw and I color, so we can do it faster than others. "

When Xia Pingzhang heard that he had the task of drawing menus again, his eyes lit up and his steps quickened, "Let's go! Count me in!"

Xia Pingzhang's story soon reached the ears of Lin Zhaoxia and Zhao Guangyuan, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"This is also why the prince treats people with sincerity and treats poor students favorably. He not only allows them to read and borrow books for free, but also creates opportunities for them so that they can earn a living expenses. No, when I see the prince encountering trouble, I immediately think of repaying him. ”

I originally thought that if the farmers signed the deeds honestly, they would not have to worry about the supply of goods. How could I expect that they would be blackmailed and the goods would be sold out.

I originally thought that I had bought ducklings and geese to raise, and it would take several months before they could be put out for sale. Unexpectedly, a poor student in the library sent a letter to my family. In the past few days, people have been sending ducks and geese. One and two Yes, a lot of scattered things have accumulated.

The man named Xia Pingzhang lives in Changping, and it takes him at least two days and one night to take a bullock cart on the road. The selling price of the ducks and geese transported here is not more than two or three cents more than in Changping, but he went through all the hard work to deliver them.

It seems that there are more people in the world who repay kindness.

Zhao Guangyuan has hit rock bottom in recent years, and his heart is full of gloom. Lin Zhaoxia only opened a crack to let the warm sun shine in. What he did was just for his own calculations. Unexpectedly, his unintentional actions were rewarded.

Recruiting Jiang Wentao, "We will recruit five more book offices in the Library Pavilion. They will be responsible for proofreading, borrowing, and sending and receiving books. They will be recruited from students from poor families. They will be paid twenty taels a month. This Xia Pingzhang counts as one."

Jiang Wentao had already heard about Xia Pingzhang when he came, and he was also filled with emotion. I agreed and went down to take care of it.
