Chapter 54 That's the Price

"I think it's expensive, and no one is forcing you to eat it." Huo Qiqi glanced at Wang Shaojie with a smile, "Who would grab two bowls in the morning?"

Hearing what she said, Wang Shaojie immediately froze.He was not the only one who snatched the tofu curds in the morning, so why should he be the only one to stare at him.Hmph, Huo Qiqi is getting more and more stingy.

Huo Qiqi didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Shaojie, she had her own things to do.

"Third Young Master, is this menu really going to be posted?" After Huo Qiqi staggered and took Jian Yu and the others to the kitchen, the shopkeeper went to ask Huo Yixing in a low voice with a mournful face.

Huo Yixing had already read the menu, and to be honest, if this menu was hung in someone else's restaurant, he would definitely want to kill the shopkeeper of that restaurant.But this menu is Huo Qiqi's request, even if he has no idea, he still has to support his family. "Seventh Young Master wants you to hang up, if you can pull it off, I won't stop you."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, how dare he?

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you delay your Seventh Master's good deeds, she will settle accounts with you later, so don't drag me into trouble with Third Master." Huo Yixing gave the shopkeeper a white look and instructed.

The shopkeeper immediately shuddered all over, and ordered in a sharp voice, "Maoer, post it quickly."

A waiter heard the sound and quickly took the menu and posted it outside.

"Sir Qi, do you really want to use these bean dregs to make dumplings?" In the kitchen, several chefs saw the ingredients brought by Huo Qiqi, and they became more skeptical about life.Bean dregs are obviously something pigs eat, but the seventh son asked them to make fried dumplings.

Several chefs deeply doubted that if Zuixianlou really regarded it as a dish, would the diners chop them up like crazy.

"Don't worry, there will be meat in it. You don't have to stand here, I want some ingredients." Huo Qiqi began to chase people away.

A few cooks left the small kitchen with sad faces and returned to the big kitchen.

"Something must happen today."

"Why didn't the third son stop the seventh son?"

"If the bean dregs are put out, it will definitely damage the signboard of our Zuixian Tower."

"Don't worry, the new menu has been posted outside, and the price will scare you to death." Mao'er came in and said with a sad face, "The shopkeeper is almost crying."

Several chefs also wanted to cry, but everyone dared not cry.After a while, the guests will come in, and they have to prepare other dishes.

Several chefs put out all their skills, and each of them thought secretly that they could make the dishes better later, so as to make up for the negative impact that the seventh son had brought to the restaurant.

What Huo Qiqi had to do was very simple, that was to cook chicken soup and bone soup. There was still some time left before noon. After cleaning up the chicken and bones, she built two simple earthen stoves in the backyard. Bring the pot to a boil.

The chicken soup and bone soup also put her prepared medicinal materials, add water and cover the pot, and there are two pots with a fire tube.

Jian Yu and the others were arrested to make dumplings. Huo Qiqi saw that there were not enough people among five people, so he arrested a few juniors to help.

Xiao Erquan who came over felt overwhelmed. Although he said that the bean dregs were filled with meat, he couldn't hide the fact that the ingredients were originally pig food. Will they be sold later?The seventh son still let so many bags.

Things in the small kitchen were handled better, and Huo Qiqi came to the big kitchen again.

"You two, just make noodles and nothing else." Huo Qiqi directed the two chefs.

The two chefs were dumbfounded for a moment, and they stood there without moving.

Huo Qiqi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the two of them hurriedly acted upon seeing this.

"When kneading the noodles, add an egg to every catty of noodles." Huo Qiqi ordered lightly, adding the eggs to make noodles, which are very chewy and don't require too much effort from the cook.This is also an option when there is no other way.

"You are in charge of stir-fried tofu. Today's product is simple shredded pork tofu or egg tofu." Huo Qiqi covered it up for them himself.

"Seventh Young Master, that's fine, I'll leave these two dishes to the villain." The chef didn't dare to offend her, so he kept smiling to curry favor with her.

Huo Qiqi nodded.

"After the noodles are cut, you are still in charge of the bottom. The bottom must use the spring water we brought over, add the boiled broth, and throw in the side dishes." Huo Qiqi lazily directed.

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but no one dared to question them, and all of them could only do their jobs honestly.

Zuixianlou is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, and it is also the private property of the Huguogong Mansion, so there are a lot of people passing by the door every day.

There is also a restaurant opposite Zuixian Tower, which is the private property of Prince Ling's Mansion, called Yunkelai.Because King Ling invited a few famous chefs over, Yunke was almost full of guests these days, and they stole away a lot of customers from Zuixianlou invisibly.

In fact, the loss data reported by Huo Yixing was at least half false.

"Your Majesty, Zuixianlou has launched a new dish." Just as the menu was posted in Zuixianlou, Yun Kelai, who is opposite, got the first-hand news.

"What are you laughing at?" King Ling gave the boy who reported the letter a hard look.

"Reporting to the king, the Zuixianlou on the opposite side is going crazy thinking about money, and they even sell the bean dregs." The boy suppressed a smile while speaking clearly, "A dumpling made of bean dregs costs ten dollars. A copper plate, four taels of silver for a plate of tofu, three taels of silver for a plate of bean sprouts, and five taels of silver for a bowl of noodles.”

King Ling didn't smile after hearing this, but instead had a suspicious look in his eyes.

Whether it is Zuixianlou or Yunkelai, they are all taking the high-end route, and the money they earn is the money of the rich.It is normal for two restaurants to pay a few taels of silver for a dish, but the ingredients reported by Zuixianlou are not worth so much money at all.What is even more suspicious is that Zuixianlou actually sells bean dregs.

Huo Yixing's personality has always been uninterested and unwilling, so he had to brace himself up.

Not to mention that Yunke came here to be confused, the entrance of Zuixianlou was even more lively.People who passed by almost laughed out loud when they saw the menu posted by Yunkelai's door.

"A plate of tofu costs four taels of silver, the shopkeeper is not authentic."

"At this price, it's still a discounted price. It's a joke."

"A bowl of noodles costs five taels of silver. Could it be that the noodles are made of silver?"

......

The shopkeeper in the Zuixian Tower had heard the discussion outside, but he didn't dare to come forward to explain, because Huo Qiqi didn't allow them to come forward to explain.

The seventh son wants to come to Jiang Taigong to take the bait!
Some people disdain, there must be people who are curious.

After a while, many diners flocked in.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw it, he hurriedly greeted the guests himself.There is no way, Xiaoer was all caught by the seventh son and helped out.

"Hey, shopkeeper, why is it so quiet in the restaurant?" A regular customer joked.

"I'm busy at the back." The shopkeeper smiled all over his face.

"I said shopkeeper, what kind of noodles do you make and why are they sold so expensively? Is the price written wrong?" Someone jokingly questioned.

"That's right, it's the price. If you feel confused, you can try it later. The restaurant won't smash its own signboard, right?"
