Chapter 287 Discussion

"What? Opening a branch in the Northwest?"

As General Xie had expected, Shen Huazheng quickly told Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia what she had talked about with him.

In addition to the New Year's banquet menu that was decided at that time, he also suggested expanding the capital's food business to the northwest.

Princess Lejia was a little surprised: "Opening a branch in the northwest? Isn't it a bit far?"

Even if we want to expand, we don't have to go as far as the northwest all at once.

You can start from the surrounding area.

Anyway, they have already thought about going to Mianzhou County to eat seafood when the weather gets warmer. Why not expand the food business there first?

Zhou Ying: "Zheng'er, what do you think?"

After she finished speaking, she realized that Shen Huazheng should also have the idea of ​​opening a branch in the northwest, which was why she mentioned General Xie’s suggestion.

Zhou Ying looked at Chen Huazheng and added, "Zheng'er, do you want to open a cake and snack shop in the northwest, or a restaurant there?"

Although Zhou Ying had long thought about expanding her business beyond the capital, she had not expected that Shen Huazheng would mention the northwest.

Moreover, doing food business can be considered a very broad term.

There are hundreds of different types of food in the food court alone. If we really want to open a branch in the northwest, what kind of food should we bring there?

General Xie only made this suggestion to Shen Huazheng as a diner, but he didn't know much about the food business.

I don’t know what preparations I need to make if I really want to open a branch in the northwest.

After all, there are differences between the Northwest and the capital. It is impossible for them to copy all the food businesses in the capital.

Chen Huazheng: "I think both are fine."

In fact, if you want to expand your business in Beijing to other places, all you have to consider are labor, ingredients and transportation.

The northwestern region of Daliang has a higher terrain and abundant inland rivers, and people there mainly eat pasta.

Since the river channels are well developed, we can use water transportation.

A lot of supplies can be transported there, and if you really need to open a branch, you can also arrange for people to go there.

Yipintang and Food Court have been in operation for some time, and the management team and chefs have been trained.

If you really plan to expand your business to the northwest, you can send trustworthy shopkeepers and chefs over.

After the shopkeepers and chefs from the capital go there, they can run their business while looking for suitable candidates in the northwest.

Then lead the team over there again.

Princess Lejia held her chin and thought for a while: "Opening a shop in the northwest is not a big problem, it just costs some money. But if you just want to transport some snacks to the northwest and sell them, it's fine. If you want to open a restaurant or even a restaurant in the northwest like in the capital, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Chen Huazheng and Zhou Ying both understood the unspoken meaning in Princess Lejia's words. If they just wanted to open a shop selling dried fruits, candied fruits or cakes in the northwest, they would only need to transport some food that could be stored for a long time.

But if you want to open a restaurant or a hotel, you must have a chef.

And they can only be the chefs who have been trained in Yipinlou and Food Street, and it would be best if they are master chefs in the kitchen.

But if the master chef is assigned to the northwest, there will be no one to lead the chef team of Yipinlou and Food Street.

It would definitely not be a wise move to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another.

Chen Huazheng smiled and said, "Aning, you are right to worry, but this is not a particularly big problem."

Princess Lejia and Zhou Ying were puzzled and were about to ask when a voice interrupted them -

"You must be hungry, let's discuss this after lunch."

Zhou came in from outside, and the maids were following her with trays.

Chen Huazheng also smiled and said, "Yes, let's have lunch first."

The maids skillfully brought the fragrant roujiamo and scallop and chicken porridge to the table and presented them to everyone.

Chen Huazheng looked at Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia: "Try this roujiamo and see how it tastes."

Roujiamo? ?

Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia both looked at the unfamiliar roujiamo. This must be another new food made by Zheng'er/Zheng Zheng.

But after breakfast they stayed together and she didn't go into the kitchen.

Could it be that this was made by the cooks in the Shen Mansion?

Princess Lejia blurted out: "Zheng Zheng, was this Roujiamo made by the cook in the Shen Mansion?"

Shen Huazheng nodded: "Yes, this is made by the cooks."

Strictly speaking, this was made independently by the cooks today after she taught them two days ago.
