Chapter 86 Beautiful Country

Wang side walked up and down in the restaurant, and he probably understood it in his heart. The two of them looked for the corridor on the second floor to sit down. Wang asked, "It's a pity that Cui is in charge of running the restaurant for so many years."

Cui Fu sighed: "It's not a pity, but there's nothing we can do. If we go out, we can still drop three or four hundred taels of silver, and if we don't go out, we will post dozens of taels every month. Moreover, the competition is so fierce that it will take more than a hundred taels to redecorate, and if we invite someone again, we will throw away the silver to have a try."

When Wang saw that he was telling the truth, he brewed a plan in his heart, so he said, "If I take over the restaurant, I will ask Cui to be in charge of the business. In addition to 20 yuan a month, I will give the shopkeeper 20% pure profit. Will the shopkeeper be willing?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the flutter, he knelt down and kowtowed to the king and said, "This restaurant is half of my life's painstaking efforts. Not to mention pure profit, I'm willing not to give me any money."

Wang Bian quickly picked up Cui Fu and said, "Cui Zhang doesn't have to do this. I also have requirements to do this."

Cui Fu said, "The world says that Mr. Wang is a benevolent and righteous person. If you like Renhelou and Cui Fu today, you can ask for it."

Wang side looked at the building and said, "Listen to my instructions. Start the decoration from tomorrow, and cover all the outside with a bamboo fence in front of the cloth."

Cui Fu nodded his head and wrote down the king's instructions.

Wang ordered Cui Fu to close the business from tomorrow, cover the outside of the store with cloth, and renovate the tables and chairs with rhinoceros paint. The most important thing is to transform the kitchen. Add iron crawers to all the original firewood stoves and transform them into stoves that can burn coal. It is roughly estimated that it will be ready in early May.

There is no doubt about the employment. Wang side paid the money in a lump sum. He told Cui Fu that in the future, the shopkeeper would upgrade and no longer care about serving dishes, but stared at the other employees in the lobby. Xiao Er should be good at writing the menu. In the future, he will write the menu and send it to the kitchen, and the chef will serve the dishes in the order of the menu.

For the employee Wang, it is also necessary to clearly distinguish the chef, helper and serving. The dishes need to be re-determined. Naturally, this recipe is made by the king. After coming to the Song Dynasty for so long, the most luxurious thing to eat is to boil and stew. The reason is simple, the problem of coal. There is no continuous burning of coal with a high temperature, just a charcoal fire, and sometimes make some water, rice and stew and so on.

Wang Bian Ding's recipe, searching for intestines and scraping the belly thinking of the favorite dishes I know in the name of the previous life: soft fried tenderloin, fresh mushrooms, fried fish fillets, asparagus, fried shrimp, fried waist flowers, fried hoof tendons, fried three kinds, fried green onion fried meat... More than a dozen dishes have been prepared by big and small;

After thinking for a long time, I remembered that there were no dishes in the ten Song Dynasty. The shopkeeper Cui Fu took the menu and looked at it and was dumbfounded: "Sir, what are you doing?" Wang Zong smiled and said, you recruit ten chefs first, and I'll talk about it all. Ten?" Cui Fu thought he had heard it wrong, and he was usually busy with two or three. The king smiled, "ten"!

When Wang left, the shopkeeper Cui Fu was still in a daze with the menu specialty. Xiao Er came over and asked, what did the shopkeeper look at?

Cui Fu showed Xiao Er the menu next to Wang, and Xiao Er was even more confused. He simply didn't think about it. He also said to the shopkeeper Cui Fu: "I said, the shopkeeper, this Mr. Wang always has a lot of ideas. Let us do whatever we want. You look, it's the end of April. We have to hurry up.

In the past few days, Renhe Lou set up a bamboo fence. People on the street didn't know what they were doing. When they saw Cui Fu, they asked, Mr. Cui, what are you doing?

Mr. Cui shook his head and said, "The surname of this restaurant will be Wang in the future. I don't know what he is doing with the prince's explanation."

Everyone saw this and talked about it one after another. When they learned that it was the king of Meyer's house, they even chased Cui Fu and asked, "Is this prince going to change any tricks again?"

Seeing that everyone asked, Cui Fu taught by Mr. Wang. He asked a question and didn't know. Mr. Wang said that this is called mystery.

In a few days, when it is almost finished, there will be more people around the door. It turned out that Wang's marriage invitation had been issued. Wang's wedding was not to hold a banquet by himself, but to hold a banquet in this Renhe building. Is this Renhe building going to be redecorated? Is it going to be changed?

Naturally, the cooks trained in Meyer House have also learned how to cook the ten dishes. What's more, they really like this coal stove.

Wang has signed a contract with them all. The salary must be high, but you can't go to other restaurants within a year, otherwise it will be a breach of contract. Not to mention signing the contract, if you don't sign the contract, Wang will naturally be willing to work with Wang.

Wangbian also specially found someone to customize the uniform work clothes of Renhelou employees. Now he is very satisfied. Just waiting for the arrival of the 18th day of the fifth lunar month.

Near the middle of May, the interior of the Renhe Building was cleaned up, and the king ordered Cui Fu to still cover it. Special procurement can go to the street to buy new applications. All the old tableware were given to the neighbors.

The people around here know that even the tableware of Renhe Building has been replaced with a new one. In fact, Wangbian has saved a lot more than a complete renovation. But the focus of his renovation is not on the appearance of the furniture. The coal escorted at the beginning of the month was also delivered. In this way, the coal field is almost piled up. There is a car sent to Renhe Building in the middle of the night, a coal shed prepared in advance in the backyard.

On the day of Wang's wedding, the bamboo fence outside the Renhe building was demolished. People gathered to see that it was strange to stand at the door. Why did Renhe building not change at all from the outside, and he was even more confused.

It seems that the people who went to the banquet in Renhelou were all officials of the current dynasty, Wang Sun nobles, merchants and celebrities, at least sedan chairs, and almost the whole street was blocked.

Marriage is a happy day. The Song Dynasty stipulated that there could be some tyrannings in clothing, and it was officially stipulated that ordinary people could use nine-grade clothes as auspicious clothes for marriage. The king wore a flower head, wore a big red flower on the chest of the government, and stood on the steps to greet everyone.

It's refreshing to attend the wedding like this, especially when the groom personally stood on the platform to greet him. While everyone signed in at the door to send a congratulatory gift, the second child shouted. A certain adult arrived, and a public who had no official position called the merchant's name to arrive. If there is no commercial firm with no official rank, ask Sina's best friend to come.

The receptionist led to different positions according to the content of the shouting. The immediate family members are on the third floor, each VIP single room. Facing officials at all levels. However, in Room 1, Fubi, Wen Yanbo, right general Zhao Zongshi, Lord Bao, Wang Anshi's seat, Ouyang Xiu, etc., there is another one sitting empty.

Tianzi Room 2 is the female family of these people.

Tianzi No. 3 to No. 6 are all officials and colleagues

No. 7 and No. 8 are reserved for the brothers next to the king.

No. 9 is the place where the wives of the king's house rest with the bride.

Everyone guessed whether it was possible for the king to leave such a place for himself?

On the second floor, Zhang Yi came to greet merchants and celebrities everywhere, and the first floor was reserved for neighbors.

Seeing that the auspicious time was coming, Wang looked at it and walked out of the crowd in the south. One of them was about 50 years old, and his eyes were half squinting with a smile. The other one followed with his head down.

Wang smiled and personally picked up this person to Room No. 1 of Tianzi on the third floor.

As soon as the man came in, all the people sitting in the room immediately left the table to give a big gift. The man quickly turned back and closed the door and said, "Today I want to see this folk wedding banquet to celebrate. Everyone, sit down"

Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi were shocked and happy. The child next to Wang was shocked to come to the wedding banquet. If this is known to other rooms or downstairs, it will be great to cause ** later. So he quickly obeyed the order and sat upright, and there was no atmosphere.

Renzong frowned: "You have been working with me for so many years. How can the housekeeper eat with such restraint?"

So I sat down and quickly accompanied the smiling face. However, Wang didn't care about this. People from outside came to report. Lord Wang and Lord Bao were invited to go to the second floor. After a while, the newcomers were going to kneel down.

Standing on the lounge on the third floor, I immediately saw the newcomer ceremony on the second floor. The second floor is full of laughter. Although I can't see the hustle and bustle on the first floor, I just saw the handsome groom.

Listening to the sound of firecrackers, the sedan chair that picked up the bride arrived. Under the moon, he wears big red, wears a phoenix crown on his forehead, and covers his head with a red cover. It looks even more delicate.

When the ceremony was over, the banquet began, the whole restaurant was full of voices, and Xiao Er shuttled through the laughing crowd and ran back and forth to serving food. Everyone was surprised to find that there were so many dishes that they had never eaten at the banquet today.

The ten chefs in the kitchen worked enthusiastically, and the king taught them the skill they had practiced. One by one, with hats and aprons, stir-frying there, there is a red coal fire in the furnace.

Renhe Building suddenly became popular, and even the second and third floors were full of admiration, and the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed into a seam. Although there is no income today, he has seen the shining gold waving to him.

People are just looking at the dishes and tasting them, but they are still not satisfied. They forget that today is the wedding day next to the king. In Room No. 1 of Tianzi, the general manager of Renzong is depressed. Smelling the vegetable fragrance, it is not like they can try the dishes first in the palace from beginning to end.

Renzong's food was really delicious. He praised each of them. Whatever he praised, he moved it open in the middle. More than a dozen pairs of chopsticks went down together, and the plate immediately bottomed. Manager Shi only heard the sound of admiration, and he didn't even have a chance to taste it on the bottom of the plate.

This table is like this, not to mention other things. After eating two or three fresh dishes, as long as they are new products, they are all swept away.

There are also people who want to go to the back kitchen. Unexpectedly, there is a special guard there, so the shopkeeper Cui is busy. He followed the answer taught by Wang. The dishes are nothing special, but the cooking method is different. You can't make it. This is made of special coal from the coal farm of Mr. Wang's Jinxiang Mansion.

The banquet is still going on, and there is news outside. The coal rice in Jinxiang Mansion is particularly good, and some people know that the coal farm in Jinxiang Mansion is outside the West Water Gate. There is still a banquet here, and there is a coal farm in Jinxiangfu outside the city. Some stores have gone to inquire about the price of the cooking coal.

Wang took a look at the situation of each table and knew that the effect was good. So he went to the back kitchen. Zhong Renzong in Room No. 1 of Tianzi looked at the plate and asked, "There are still new dishes left. Officials, we only ate ten chopsticks together." You don't see it anymore."

Everyone laughed, and now they almost drank the wine. Renzong was usually not so old-fashioned, and it would be seen that he was not restrained. To say that Lord Bao really loved the king, he suddenly asked, "The groom was still toasting just now. Where did he go now?"

Manager Shi finally found an opportunity to go out and immediately said, "I'll go and have a look." He ran to the kitchen and found that the groom was in charge of the spoon in person.

In a short time, Wang went upstairs with a plate of colorful special dishes and sent it to Tianzi No. 1 in person.

Renzong didn't move his chopsticks. The color of this dish is very beautiful. There are green cucumbers, red carrots, white lotus root slices, round peanuts, green celery, and black mushrooms. This dish is very handy, but it looks colorful. In fact, it is to blanch it in water, then heat the oil, add seasoning salt, order some wine, and sprinkle some sesame oil to take it out of the pot.

Renzong felt pleasing to the eyes when he looked at it. He tasted it, which was not only oily and fragrant, but also fresh without losing all kinds of vegetables. The color, fragrance and taste are good. I can't help asking, "Next to the king, what's the name of your dish?"

Wang said: This is just a vegetarian assorted dish, but looking at Renzong's expectant eyes, he smiled secretly and said, "This is specially made by the Caomin for the emperor himself. I named him "Jinxiu Jiangshan". As soon as Wang's voice fell, everyone clapped their hands, and the name of the dish is better.

Renzong was overjoyed and said, "Sure enough, good dishes and good names: I will give you a signboard in this restaurant, Jinxiu Building."
