Chapter 134: A Senior Food Lover

“This salted duck, a new dish I made. You can eat it after steaming it in the cauldron and pouring a little braising sauce on it. ” The main purpose of Yu Xiaocao's visit was to promote the salted duck, so he would naturally not let go of this good opportunity.

“Buck salted? Xiaocao, you have a new recipe? ” Zhou Zixu, who looked tired, entered from the outside with the son of the district magistrate behind him.

Yu Xiaocao smiled and greeted him, “Third Young Master, where did you go so early in the morning?”

Zhou Zixu replied, “Where else? Of course, I just returned from the construction site at the pier. This is the tipping point for the construction of our factory now. I have personally been watching this site these past few days! ”

“Thank you for your hard work!” Yu Xiaocao had a certain respect for the young man, who would become a high school student in his previous life. Dragons give birth to dragons, while phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. The rat cubs were able to dig a hole, whereas the imperial merchant's son would go into a workaholic while doing business!

Zhou Zixu grinned widely on his slightly childish face, “If our factory can be completed early, all the hard work will be in vain! Do you know what, Xiaocao? For the oyster sauce alone we received over two hundred orders! Production of the oyster sauce hasn't started yet, but we've got an order of five thousand jars. Many orders came from famous restaurants in the south! ”

“Young Boss Zhou, your business is really thriving ah! Wondering if this old man was lucky to help Zhenxiu Restaurant taste the ‘bebek asin’ brought by Little Lass Yu? ” Yuan Sinian who had been staring at half a serving of salty ducks saw that the two were chatting about business and asked somewhat impatiently.

Yuan Yunxi covered her face — no one other than her grandfather would beg for food properly! At this moment, he deeply wished that he did not know the old man who had no shame in front of this meal.

Zhou Zixu was considered a good friend of Yuan Yunxi, so he also had a pretty clear understanding of Grandfather Yuan's temperament. With a sincere expression on his face, he said, “Grandfather Yuan, even if you are not here, this brat will invite you, the leader of the influential culinary world, over, to come give us some pointers. In the future, we will definitely have to pass your exam before Zhenxiu Restaurant introduces new dishes. ”

Yuan Sinian was satisfied with Third Young Master's words. He was without a doubt sitting at the table in the main dining room. He stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Little girl, aren't you going to rush to serve a salty duck?”

Zhou Zixu looked up at the sky and realized that it was not noon yet. They had just had breakfast not too long ago, so were they really going to have lunch now? He could understand Grandpa Yuan's desire because he also wanted to taste the salted duck. But, they still had to let the host make some preparations, right?

“Grandfather Yuan, how can I let you sit in the main hall? I have a private room kept as a backup. Please come with me. ”.

“Didn't you say that private rooms need to be booked in advance? Whatisthis? Manager Zhou, do you underestimate this old man? ” Without his personality as a famous scholar, Yuan Sinian is just a greedy and stubborn old man.

The head manager smiled flatly and said, “Chief School Yuan, that private room is a place reserved for bosses to rest. It is not used for guest reservation ..”

“Reservation guest? Could that outsider compare to this old man? Our Yunxi grew up wearing the same pants as your young master! I am Yunxi's grandfather, so I am of course also the grandfather of your boss! How can I be considered an outsider? ” Yuan Sinian nagged and glared at in anger.

Third Young Master Zhou quickly pretended to scold, “Yes! Be more careful in the future. Grandfather Yuan is not an outsider !! Don't let this happen again! ”

“Grandpa!” Yuan Yunxi saw her grandfather wanting to say something, so she hurriedly gestured to him with a frown.

Yuan Sinian angrily glared at his grandson, then headed to the second floor.

“This old man is becoming more and more childish as he gets older!” Seeing the old man leave quickly and excitedly, Young Master Wu smiled and exclaimed in a somewhat sad tone.

Yuan Yunxi, on the other hand, apologized to Third Young Master Zhou, “Zixu, I ..”

“The old man was right. What is our relationship with each other? No need to be polite like a stranger. Let's all try Xiaocao's new dish! I'll take Xiaocao to the back kitchen first and then have a drink with you guys later! ” Third Young Master Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said indifferently.

Yu Xiaocao's mouth twitched. ‘Why do a bunch of bad boys drink wine? Did he really think that he was the big boss? ‘ Nevertheless, he only criticized them in his heart and was not so foolish as to say it out loud.

“Third Young Master, You should go entertain your guests. I can go to the kitchen by myself! ” Kitchen is the most visited place of Xiaocao in Zhenxiu Restaurant. It is no exaggeration to say that he can find his way even with his eyes closed.

However, Third Young Master Zhou smiled and said, “Nothing. We are all close brothers! Manager, serve them some good tea! ”

Third Young Master Zhou brought Yu Xiaocao into the secret kitchen in the backyard. Other than Chief Chef Wang and his trusted disciples, no one else was allowed into this kitchen. In other words, this was the most secretive location within Zhenxiu Restaurant!

When Chief Chef Wang saw Xiaocao enter, he acted with a familiar yet respectful attitude as if he had seen his teacher. His direct disciple also looked at Xiaocao with bright eyes. He sighed with emotion in his heart, ‘It is true that one should not judge a person by their appearance. A little girl from a fishing family, who was less than ten years old, was the creator of a famous dish that supported half of the Zhenxiu Restaurant. ‘ If he doesn't see it with his own eyes, he really won't believe it.

“Aiyo! Just seeing you. It's okay if you just come, why bring a gift? ” Chef Head Wang took the duck out of Xiaocao's hand and joked.

“Hei! Extra dishes for your boss' lunch! If he likes it, then we can talk about the rest later! ” Yu Xiaocao put half a serving of salted duck into the hands of Chef Head Wang.

Chef Wang's head furrowed his brows as he looked at the salty duck in his hand and thought, ‘This is not just an ordinary duck’ that is air-dried ‘, is it? How can Miss Yu's product not be such a special dish? There must be something special about this! ‘

“Why wait until noon? This fatty could not wait any longer! Feng’er, go ... Miss Yu, is there anything else we need to do? ” Chef Head Wang consulted politely.

Yu Xiaocao shook his head and said, “Do not pour the broth produced while steaming a duck. It feels better together! Oh, by the way, there's only half a duck! School Head Yuan of Rongxuan Academy is still waiting to try the dish! ”

Yu Xiaocao had to remind Chief Chef Wang so that he would not keep all of his salty ducks. If that were to happen, wouldn't the old man, School Head Yuan, take a grudge against him? Old porcupine, old porcupine! When people get old, they need to be persuaded!

The duck has been cooked with salt water, so it is ready after steaming for thirty minutes. If one accidentally entered a private room at this moment, they would definitely see a strange sight: It was not meal time, then it was not food time, but a group of people were sitting around the table and staring greedily at the only dish on the table — salted ducks. They looked like a pack of wolves surrounding a poor little rabbit.

“This old man will eat!” Older people have thicker skin. Yuan Sinian was the first to take his chopsticks, take a piece of duck meat as white as snow, and chew it slowly in his mouth. With his eyes slightly narrowed, he chewed very slowly, and even his beard looked tilted upwards.

“The shape is full of plump body and white skin. The meat is soft and dense. The crisp and fragrant nature of the dish leads to endless residual flavors. ” A long time later, under everyone's expectant gaze, Yuan Sinian slowly opened his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he was enjoying the delicious taste of salty ducks.

As Yuan Sinian evaluated the dish, Chef Head Wang had already stuffed a piece of duck meat into his mouth. After trying it, he also gave a high rating: “His skin is crisp, the bones are crisp, and the meat is tender. With a perfect salty taste, it is fatty but not greasy and not fatty but not dry. ”

Although his three younger siblings, including Yuan Yunxi, did not make excessive comments, they expressed their appreciation of ‘dubek asin’ with practical action.

Seeing the young ones about to devour the duck meat, Yuan Sinian no longer had time to taste the taste and swiftly snatched the last two pieces of duck meat at once. Under everyone's envious gaze, he casually enjoyed the final piece of the delicacy.

Yu Xiaolian's imagination of what the noble was like was completely shattered upon witnessing this so-called noble almost fighting for just a piece of duck meat. He inwardly thought, ‘He is so old, but he is not even as quiet and polite as my little brother!’

“Nona Yu, do you sell this salted duck recipe to us as usual?” The head manager only tried a piece of duck meat, but he could not stop thinking about it in his heart. Later, when ‘bebek asin’ is added to Zhenxiu Restaurant menu, he, his manager, will definitely not miss it!

Yu Xiaocao glanced at Third Young Master Zhou with a slight smile and did not say anything.

After sensing the popularity of roasted chicken, Zhou Zixu naturally knew the value of this dish. He understood very clearly that with roasted chicken and salted duck, it is not an exaggeration to say that ‘ Zhenxiu Restaurant business will thrive every day’. The recipe for these two dishes was made by this indifferent and intelligent young girl. In the future, he might have more new and delicious recipes. If he wanted to cooperate with her for a long time, he would naturally have to come up with a long-term plan in order to earn even greater profits. So, it was not suitable to buy a recipe with just three hundred taels.

“I have a proposal. Xiaocao, tell me what you think of that! ” Zhou Zixu was someone who worked on important matters, so he quickly thought of an idea to discuss.

Yu Xiaocao looked at him and still had an indifferent smile on his face as he said, “Third Young Master, please talk!”

“Pict just like you, Xiaocao, invest in a salted duck and roast chicken recipe. Later, you will get 10% of the profit for every roasted chicken or salted duck sold. You can be paid monthly or yearly. What do you think?” The 10% profit from the roasted chicken would be five mace, which was four times more than the dividend Yu Xiaocao had expected. Therefore, one could clearly see the sincerity of Third Young Master Zhou.

Everyone at the table knows about the hot sale of roasted chicken Zhenxiu Restaurant. He would receive five mace for every roasted chicken sold. Based on the calculation of a minimum of fifty chickens sold every day, he would receive over seven hundred taels in a month. Within a year ...Even Yuan Sinian, a great scholar who regarded money as dirt, could not hold his breath in silence.

Yu Xiaocao was not a greedy person, so he shook his head with a smile, “Third Young Master, you are too polite !! I've already sold the roasted chicken recipe to you. It has nothing to do with me how much you make. Even though I am the daughter of a farming family, I can still embrace two words: ‘ sincerity and honesty’! ”

Yuan Sinian stroked her beautiful beard and nodded gently. Not many people could resist an annual income of around a thousand taels. As expected, this Yu Family upbringing is very special. With an elder sister like this, Yu Fan's character wouldn't be too bad either. Yuan Sinian could not help but think about accepting this student, as his last disciple.
