Chapter 192 Perfect Dishes
The poorly dressed man nervously asked a man in green at the door.

Jin Yi was a little ridiculous at once, but he also said kindly, "Brother, don't worry about sitting inside, I won't charge you a penny."

Hearing what Jin Yi said, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said happily, "Brothers, I really don't need money, come in."

A few anxious poor people also flocked in from behind, while others laughed out loud. This kind of funnyness is not common.

Yi Xue originally accompanied Wen Taichang and the others, but suddenly she felt that this was not the way to go, and if something happened, it would be counterproductive.She asked Uncle Wen to accompany the guests, walked to Tianji's side, and said, "Tianji, let those big yamen servants go to eat, and arrange that after the downstairs is full, they will not be allowed to come in again until this time." Until people finish eating. Also, let other people be vigilant, and don’t make any trouble.”

Tianji nodded, this is really not the way, not to mention whether these people will make trouble, even if the walls of such a luxurious restaurant are scratched, it will make people feel distressed for a long time.

Tian has drawn Jin Ba, Jin Jiu and Jin Shi to guard the door and maintain order.

Yi Xue asked Shui Yi and the others to speed up the time to serve the dishes.

In the crowd outside, a man with a scarred face secretly rejoiced, it seemed that God helped me, and I was still thinking about how to get in.As a result, they directly opened the door and let me in, haha, Mr. Wu is not welcome.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were served one after another. Mr. Wen and the others looked at the table full of meals, some of which had been eaten at Yi Xue's house, some of which hadn't. These unknown colors were really bright and fragrant.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to taste these delicacies again. It's really rare. My old bones are worth it in this life." Master Huo said with a smile.

"Brother Xia, let me toast and congratulate the grand opening," Wen Taichang first raised his cup and said to Master Xia.

Master Xia hurriedly stood up and held up his wine, "How dare you ask your lord to raise a glass, I will punish myself with one."

Wen Taichang blocked Master Xia, and said with a smile, "Yixue is also my niece, why should you be so out of touch, we are equals, why should you care, if you want, we can call each other brothers"

"Master Wen, Xia won't be pretentious, and I will call you Brother Xia," Master Xia said with a smile.In terms of age and seniority, Mr. Xia is taller than Wen Taichang.Master Xia was a fourth-rank servant of the military department, which may not be a big deal in the capital, but here, he is the biggest official.Of course, this was before, and now he has no official position.

"Everyone, it's a great blessing for us to gather here today. I don't think you need to be formal, just come together," Master Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, since your lord said so, let's come together, and I will also congratulate Mrs. Zhang and Brother Xia." Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

"Today's dish is really surprising. Isn't this water radish? Why is the taste different? The taste is simply wonderful. Brother Li, can your restaurant still serve it?" Shopkeeper Hu took a bite of the blue and white porcelain dish .

Yi Xue named it Blue and White Porcelain because after the dish was cooked, the blue and red colors alternated and looked beautiful, so I remembered the name.

Shopkeeper Li shook his head in distress, and said with a smile, "Yixue's restaurant is open, but mine is about to close down."

Shopkeeper Li is also a little depressed these days. On the one hand, he is happy for Wang Yixue to open a restaurant in the county, and on the other hand, he is afraid that Yixue's restaurant will destroy his own restaurant.He has experienced Yi Xue's cooking skills, and his own restaurant cooks can't cook those dishes at all.

"Hahaha", everyone laughed.

Huo Feng said humorously, "Why don't you just sell it to Fuyuan Restaurant? Anyway, your Li family has no shortage of restaurants. Compared with this restaurant, Heji in Huawang Town is far behind, and you will not be able to open it in the future."

At this time, Yi Xue pushed the door in and said with a smile, "Master Li, don't worry, I will keep your restaurant open, and it will be even better."

"Oh? Could it be that the girl has a way?" Shopkeeper Li asked immediately.

Yixue nodded, and said, "Master Li, you need to be kind and make money in business. I owed you 1000 taels back then, so no matter what, I can't let you have nothing to eat."

"You girl, you can really talk." Shopkeeper Li said happily. He knew that Yi Xue had a lot of ideas, but he hoped that Yi Xue could pass on some of these recipes to him, which would be even better.

"Yixue, you're right. The key to business lies in being friendly. If you can help Brother Li, you can help." When Master Xia spoke, did Yi Xue not listen?
Yi Xue smiled and said, "Master Li, I'm in charge of training chefs for you. How about you give me [-]% of the profit? Of course, some ingredients really can't be counted in it."

"This girl is really pervasive, Brother Li, it seems that you are going to suffer a bit," Shopkeeper Hu said jokingly.

"Okay, it's settled like this. You don't have to pay back the 1000 taels of silver. Even if you become a shareholder, how about it?" Shopkeeper Li said boldly.He is a shrewd person, and he can calculate the huge profits in an instant.With Yixue's craftsmanship, 1000 taels of silver is estimated to be earned back in a month. As long as she can be tied together, there will be more things in the future, such as sweet potatoes, which are precious and good things. Now only I am major buyers.This matter must be kept secret, hehe, maybe my status in the Li family will be raised a lot.Didn't shopkeeper Bai go to the state capital because of Wang Yixue?

"Okay, shopkeeper Li, invite you to dinner. After a while, I will sign a contract with you," Yi Xue said and walked out.

Having received Yi Xue's promise, shopkeeper Li immediately felt a lot more relaxed. If the restaurant in Huawang Town closed down, he might have to get out of Li's house.After thinking about it, the top of my head was sweating unnaturally.

"Haha, I said that this girl is a material for doing business, she is really a strange woman in the business world," Huo Feng clapped his hands and said.

"No... it's a bit wasteful to let her do business. I think we should focus on literary talents." Shopkeeper Hu stopped Huo Feng's words and said with a smile.

"Brother Hu is right, but it's a pity that it's a daughter," Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.

"Everyone, thank you for taking care of my niece, Xia is here to thank you." Master Xia was also very happy.To be honest, he felt a little surprised. He had a mediocre friendship with these big families, and he didn't communicate very often.But these people can praise Yi Xue every time.When receiving the imperial decree, he still felt that these people were there for the imperial decree, but now he realized that each of these people had an inextricable relationship with Yi Xue.

And everyone was full of praise for Yi Xue, and he suddenly felt that his face was bright, this is his niece.

Mr. Wen said with a smile while holding the wine, "What everyone said is true, this girl is indeed rare, but it's a pity that she has gone on a business route. No matter which way she goes, I hope everyone will support her."

Wen Taichang actually said such a thing, which surprised everyone. Mr. Wen seldom cares about business matters. In his eyes, these are not doing business properly, and government and business should be separated.

But now that he can say such a thing, it is enough to show that the county magistrate attaches great importance to Yi Xue, and he values ​​it very much.

Master Xia was even happier when he said such words to Wen Taichang. After all, Yi Xue was from his own family, and it would be a good thing if the county magistrate favored his own family.

"That's natural, we will try our best," everyone said with a smile.

People at this table laughed, and at the other table, Mrs. Zhang and others were also very happy. This table was not all women, and there were village chiefs and village chiefs. They were all people from the village. In order not to let them Feeling restrained, they gather together, talk and have fun.

The village head and the head of the village lamented that this is really a year in Hedong and a year in Hexi. The changes in the Zhang family made them unable to keep up.

The running water seats on the first floor are also very fast, one table after another.However, the grade of the running water seats is not as high as above.

People outside heard that the newly opened Fuyuan Restaurant eats for free, and more people came here.

"Brother, how is the food inside?" Ask those who have not eaten.

The man picked his teeth and said proudly, "It's delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious meal. The meat is so tender and crispy, and the fish-flavored shredded pork is delicious."

Everyone doesn't know what fish-flavored shredded pork is, but listening to this person's description, I feel my mouth watering.

With the vivid publicity of the people who had eaten, Fuyuan Restaurant became famous all of a sudden, and everyone eagerly wanted to go in.

The time lasted until the afternoon, and the number of people on the first floor continued unabated. If it wasn't for the control of Jin Liu and others, it would really be a mess.Shui Yi in the kitchen was so busy that he didn't even have time to catch his breath, but when he heard outsiders say that the food he cooked was delicious, the tiredness disappeared, and there was more enthusiasm.

"Uncles, today's signboard is here," Yi Xue personally brought it.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and saw a bowl of soup with white fish-like things floating in it.

"What is this?" Wen Taichang asked.

Yi Xue smiled and said nothing, she couldn't say it was wheat flour, otherwise, Wen Taichang would definitely get angry.As long as you don't say what it is, who will know?

"This is called carp crossing the river, everyone have a try." Yi Xue gave it a random name.

"Interesting, interesting, really similar, this name is elegant", the shopkeeper Hu applauded.

Yi Xue got a bowl for each person, everyone ate it, and it slipped into their mouths smoothly.

"It's so slippery, and the taste is simply wonderful," Master Xia also said.He doesn't know about the flour yet, and Yi Xue hasn't said anything about it, it's a secret.

"This carp crossing the river is amazing. It's so delicious. Girl, do you make it with coarse grains?" Shopkeeper Li, who is an expert, immediately asked.

Yi Xue said with a smile, "Indeed, I developed it with a special method."

"What way?" Shopkeeper Li looked at Yi Xue expectantly.

Yi Xue smiled faintly, "Master Li, this is not in the contract."

Shopkeeper Li looked embarrassed, and then said with a smile, "Miss Yixue, how about I give you [-]% of the shares? You pass this craft on to me."

Yi Xue still shook her head and said, "Shopkeeper Li, it's not that I'm hiding something, and I really can't give it to you."

Shopkeeper Li saw that Yi Xue refused directly, so he couldn't ask further.

"Miss, it's not good," Qiu Shui hurried in and said to Yi Xue in a low voice.
