Chapter 61 The Medicinal Diet Prescription Is Determined
Wang Hanxiao sighed suddenly, "The capital city has not been peaceful for the past few days, and this remote place of ours has become infested. Just go down and see what's posted in a while."

Cheng Xia nodded, and continued to sit back, "Aunt Han, will you be in charge of the medicinal food shop in the future?"

Wang Hanxiao grinned in embarrassment, "The restaurant has been run by me to the point of bankruptcy, of course I have to recover my reputation, or I will die."

Cheng Xia felt very comfortable listening to her. She originally thought that the proprietress was Wang Yue's daughter, and she must have a lot of arrogance in her bones, but she didn't expect it to be completely different from what she imagined.

"Aunt Han, I've been thinking about the Herbal Food Workshop when I went home for the past two days. I think that if we want to open it, it's better to open it bigger. We must ensure profits. It's not okay to only lose money and not make money. Moreover, "Cheng Xia smiled shyly, "I made a contract with the shopkeeper, and the profit of the medicinal food workshop in the first three months will be half of mine, so I have to devote myself even more."

Wang Hanxiao suddenly asked Cheng Xia, "Liang Zhong told me on the way back just now, and I want to ask you. In fact, if the medicinal food workshop can operate well, you will lose money if you only need the first three months' profits. After all The medicinal recipes are provided by you, and the idea is also yours. It is up to you to think about how to do it. If you pay in the early stage, we only need to provide the place of the restaurant and some material help. The actual development is up to you. I will follow Liang Zhong said, even if you ask for half of the annual profit, I have no objection."

Cheng Xia smiled sincerely, "I know Aunt Han's kindness. I don't want to hide what Aunt Han said. In fact, I owe someone 50 taels of silver. I need to make money as soon as possible. Three months is enough." , I will leave here in three months, so I don't have too many demands."

In fact, Cheng Xia knew that Cheng Xia would have nowhere to use it even if he had an idea, so she had to remember this kindness.

Wang Hanxiao didn't ask anything. Everyone has their own difficulties, so there's no need to poke someone's scars. She changed the subject, "Has Xiaoxia figured out how to manage our medicinal food shop?"

Xiao Xia?Cheng Xia suddenly smiled, this address is really kind.

"Aunt Han, you also know that as long as you dare to think about and try medicinal recipes, there are hundreds of thousands of them. I went home and thought about it. I think we should change our business philosophy."

"Oh," Wang Hanxiao was curious, "how to change?"

"Aunt Han must know that each restaurant or restaurant has its own specialty dishes, and the dishes are fixed. When customers go, they can choose from the names of the dishes they can provide. I think we can have many medicinal recipes. It’s better to change it every month.”

"Change every month?" Wang Hanxiao was really curious, "How?"

"Aunt Han, I have initially ordered [-] cheaper medicinal diets and [-] higher-end medicinal diets. The price will be different. It can be tasted by ordinary people and rich dignitaries. In this way We make money anyway."

Wang Hanxiao thought about it carefully for a moment, a little undecided, "Is this feasible?"

Cheng Xia nodded, "We change it every month, and every month there are [-] simple medicinal recipes and [-] high-end medicinal recipes, so that guests can taste fresh dishes every month, and during this year, All chefs can master many medicinal recipes, and after a year passes, we can record which medicinal recipes are the best-selling and the customers like the most, and we can focus on promoting them in the future.”

"Then it will be very hard for you!" Wang Hanxiao said with some distress.

Cheng Xia shook his head with some emotion, "I can determine the recipes of the medicinal food, and then write down the dosage of ingredients in detail, so that I don't need to teach you personally, and let you and the shopkeeper choose a good master to learn. Taste one by one, if the taste is right, you can pass the test, if not, I will point out what is wrong." Cheng Xia doesn't have much time, and she can't stay in Chong'an County all the time, so it is impossible to point out these chefs in every detail. Possibly, and she only thought about three months, she might not know what will happen in the future, so she could only think of this way to let the master learn all the medicinal foods quickly.

Wang Hanxiao nodded, "That's fine, Xiao Xia, you don't have to be so tired, you can also give the chefs a chance to exercise and let them master it by themselves. I wonder what kind of medicinal diet you want to use for the first month?"

Wang Hanxiao usually pays attention to health preservation, but what she knows is jujube lily porridge, or rock sugar pears, etc. She is really skeptical about the hundreds of thousands of medicinal recipes that Cheng Xia said.

Cheng Xia glanced outside, thought for a while and said, "Aunt Han, I want to go to the lobby on the first floor to have a look, and then slowly share these medicinal meals with you."

"Okay," Wang Hanxiao happily responded and led her downstairs.

The area of ​​the hall on the first floor can accommodate more than a dozen tables, and there are eight separate private rooms on the second floor, which can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, which is enough for Chongan County, which is not very large.

Cheng Xia looked around slowly, then pointed to the empty walls around the lobby and said, "Aunt Han, I want to put the pictures of forty medicinal meals on the walls."

"On the wall?" Wang Hanxiao frowned and thought, "How?"

"Aunt Han like this," Cheng Xia thought, "I'll ask the assistant to write down the medicinal recipe in a while, and the chef will be able to see what the dish looks like after he tries it out. It would be better for you to find one later." The master painter here draws the dish. The length and width of the picture should be about one and a half feet, and the pictures are pasted or hung on the wall. In this way, even if the guests are illiterate, they can get a general understanding of the food through these pictures. What kind of dish is this, maybe just point to it and say."

Wang Hanxiao clapped his hands suddenly after hearing this, and said happily, "How about this, isn't there forty? Why don't we hang them with silk paintings? Since it's a painting of vegetables, why not just add more branches and leaves to draw different shapes and colors?" The way beautiful women are holding or sniffing this dish makes it look a lot better. Xiao Xia, your idea is very good, I haven’t seen any restaurant use it yet.”

Cheng Xia was also happy to hear Wang Hanxiao's words. It seems that Aunt Han really has ideas, she doesn't need to do everything by herself, and she can innovate by herself with a little guidance from Aunt Han.

As Wang Hanxiao said, he waved his hand and asked Xiao Wu, who was serving at the side, to bring a pen and paper, "Xiao Xia, you can read it later, and let Xiao Wu write it down. Forty medicinal recipes may make your mouth dry. "

Seeing Aunt Han's flamboyant demeanor, Cheng Xia felt a lot more at ease, and she liked people who didn't have ink marks, "So at this time, I need Aunt Han to bring some bamboo leaf green over."

"Haha, okay, that's enough."

Xiao Wu got ready to write, Cheng Xia looked up, there were only the three of them in the restaurant lobby, there was no possibility of being heard by others, and Xiao Wu was believed by Aunt Han, so it was no problem.

"These twenty simple medicinal meals, I decided to set these for the time being: Braised tripe with red peach and shepherd's purse, crucian carp and purslane soup, grilled duck with winter cold vegetables, mint fairy peach, wild chrysanthemum fish, stewed pig's lungs with coltsfoot and scallops, motherwort Stewed chicken slices with flowers and ginseng, white water hibiscus flower soup with green cabbage, stewed lean meat with ganoderma lucidum, a bowl of flowers and pearls in potherb, stewed purple river car with caterpillar fungus, Huoxiang balls with Peilan tea, Polygonum multiflorum and crucian carp soup, weed vegetable fillet, Clam Ophiopogon Soup, Nymphaceae Stewed Tofu, Houttuynia Almond Custard, Five Spice Bellflower Shreds and Polygonatum Pork Stew.”

After Cheng Xia finished speaking in one breath, Xiao Wu struggled to keep up with the writing, while Wang Hanxiao was dumbfounded. She didn't know that there were really so many medicinal foods, each of which contained a wild vegetable that she had often heard about. The names of the medicinal herbs, but when added together, she felt that it was novel and pleasant. The more she heard it, the more she felt that this herbal diet workshop would definitely become a hit.

"Xiao Xia, how do you know so much?" Wang Hanxiao began to admire Cheng Xia a little bit.

Cheng Xia hurriedly said, "Aunt Han, it's nothing, but she's just doing her own thinking when she's free at home."

"Then, the simple medicinal diet is already so good, what about the high-end medicinal diet?" Wang Hanxiao couldn't wait.

Cheng Xia took a sip of the bamboo leaf green that the buddy brought up just now to moisten his throat, and then continued.

"I order the high-end ones as follows: white and rock sugar bird's nest, cistanche sheep kidney soup, lily jujube tortoise soup, turtle meat kidney soup, sea cucumber stewed in rock sugar, soy ginger loach, sea prawns stewed with eucommia cordyceps, bullwhip stewed with cordyceps, angelica Mutton Soup, American Ginseng and Dendrobium Lean Meat Soup, Smilax Mung Bean and Old Pigeon Soup, Mangosteen and Almond Pork Lung Soup, Steamed Bone Chicken with Garlic and Black Bean Sauce, Ginkgo and Osmanthus Yuanzi Soup, Parsley and Black Pepper Sliced ​​Eel Section, Burdock and Chinese Yam Pork Rib Soup, Sichuan Pepper Black-bone chicken, pig's trotters in rock sugar, soya bean bitter gourd keel herbal soup, Yulu cake."

Just listening to what Cheng Xia said, Wang Hanxiao felt that he couldn't wait to taste the taste of these medicinal foods.It turned out that she was really ignorant. She was afraid that Cheng Xia would not be able to name these dishes. In the end, she blurted out the names of these dishes, and they all sounded so good. She felt that the dishes made were very beautiful. Looking at the empty walls, she began to look forward to those dishes. Paintings of various dishes were hung up.

"Xiao Xia, you are amazing!" Wang Hanxiao praised without hesitation, and just forty herbal meals completely won her heart.

"It's fine if you think it's okay," Cheng Xia also became happy, "These medicinal diets are for nourishing the kidneys and liver, and for nourishing yin and strengthening yang. There are also soups, porridge, vegetables, desserts and pastries. They can satisfy the needs of customers as much as possible. "Cheng Xia pointed to the wall and said, "You can hang twenty paintings on the left and twenty paintings on the right, and put a price on each painting. Of course, Aunt Han and shopkeeper Shang will decide the price. As for the painting in the middle position," Cheng Xia thought while pointing his chin.

Wang Hanxiao looked along Cheng Xia's line of sight, and the seat in the middle of the back of the lobby was indeed empty.

Cheng Xia suddenly smiled, "Our medicinal diet still lacks staple foods, so let's hang some special medicinal staple foods, such as asparagus siu mai, rose ice porridge, fried rich root mud cake, gray vegetables and shrimp skin buns, etc."

"Good idea!" Suddenly there was an exclamation from the door, and Cheng Xia and Wang Hanxiao immediately looked towards the door.
