A modern culinary family heir dies in a car accident and transmigrates into an ancient farm girl. Xue Hua declares, "No worries!"
An evil grandmother tries to take advantage of the si...
Chen Tian: "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the servants."
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel even more fortunate that he had stayed before, otherwise he would never have met such a good master.
Xue Huan: "No need to thank me. As long as you do your job well and don't betray me, that's all that's needed. Any other questions?"
Chen Tian shook his head.
"Okay, then, copy what's written here again and tell everyone else. From now on, this mansion will follow these rules."
Chen Tian went down.
The servants actually did not sleep well that night because they were always worried about ghosts.
Unexpectedly, the night passed peacefully and nothing happened.
The next morning, the housekeeper held a morning meeting with everyone and explained the newly formulated rules and regulations of the Zhao Mansion to everyone.
Everyone was very happy.
One day off every ten days! Make three sets of clothes per season! Wages increase every six months!
They have met a living Bodhisattva!
As for the regulations that must be followed, needless to say, they definitely won't break them!
The housekeeper looked around at the excited crowd and said in a deep voice, "The young lady is kind-hearted, that's why she keeps thinking of you all. But I, Chen Tian, am not someone you can fool! If anyone commits a crime in the future, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Since the girl has played the good guy, he, the butler, has to play the bad guy. Otherwise, if he has no authority, the people under him will be in chaos.
It’s hard to say whether one’s heart will be raised.
The people below all said, "Don't worry, housekeeper. We will serve the young lady well."
Ah Man: "I'm determined to follow you for the rest of my life. From now on, wherever you go, I'll go too!"
Chen Tian waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.
After breakfast, Xue Huan gave Chen Tian a task, asking him to investigate the situation of the restaurants in the city, the owners behind the restaurants, the dishes they serve, etc.
He was also given some funds.
Chen Tian immediately went to find out the news for her.
In just two days, Chen Tian completed the task she assigned him.
There are two leading restaurants in the city, one is Yingxianlou and the other is Yushanlou.
Yingxianlou is opened by the Ye family, and Yushanlou is opened by the son of the county magistrate's housekeeper. In fact, the boss behind the scenes is the county magistrate. Both restaurants are high-end, and the customers are either rich or noble. Ordinary people can't afford to eat there.
In modern terms, both of them are five-star hotels.
In addition to these two restaurants, there are several other restaurants that cater to the general public. Although they are not as famous as Yingxianlou and Yushanlou, they are affordable and the food tastes good.
In addition to these restaurants, there are countless wine shops and restaurants, but these small restaurants are not within Xue Huan's consideration.
What she was looking for was a large restaurant with a strong background and great wealth, such as Yingxianlou and Yushanlou.
However, after hearing that the owner behind the Imperial Kitchen was actually the county magistrate, Xue Huan immediately ruled out the Imperial Kitchen.
After traveling through time to the present, she first had an irreconcilable conflict with the county magistrate's brother-in-law, and took the opportunity to get rid of him. A few days ago, she had a disagreement with the county magistrate's daughter. She felt that she might have a conflict with the county magistrate's family, and nothing good would happen if she met them.
As for those restaurants that took the civilian route, Xue Huan passed them up after careful consideration. The peppers she grew and the pepper dishes she would serve later could be said to be making their official debut in this era.
She was confident in her own chili peppers, believing that spicy food would become a global phenomenon. Spiciness holds a special place among the five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Just think of the numerous hot pot restaurants, skewers, and Sichuan restaurants that flourished in her past life, and you'll understand the popularity of spicy food.
With such a broad prospect for Chili, it is definitely not something that an ordinary restaurant can handle, so if she wants to find a partner, she has to find one with an unparalleled background and strength.
This way, even if others are jealous, they can only watch helplessly.
In this way, only Yingxian Tower is left.
The Ye family is behind Yingxian Tower. So far, she has indirectly dealt with the Ye family twice. The first time was when she sold orchids and exchanged that orchid for the current house. The second time was at Mohouzhai, where she was very satisfied with the attitude of the shopkeeper of the Ye family.
Although the Ye family was wealthy, they were not unkind. At least she had not heard any negative news about the Ye family. Instead, she heard news about the Ye family giving back to the village and helping poor families.
Regardless of whether the Ye family intentionally cultivated such a good reputation or was truly doing good things sincerely, it at least shows one thing, that is, the Ye family cherishes its reputation very much.
This is beneficial to her, because the Ye family, who value their reputation, will definitely not do anything openly to take advantage of others.
But she couldn't just come to the door and say, "I have a good business to cooperate with Yingxianlou." Otherwise, they would kick her out.
Even if the owner of Yingxianlou has a good eye for talent and is willing to give her a chance to show her skills, once he sees the value of chili peppers and their broad prospects, there is no guarantee that he will not develop some bad intentions.
When general interests are placed in front of them, Yingxianlou may remain indifferent, because general interests are not worth their risks, but what Chili represents is not just a little bit of interest, but a huge piece of cake!
When this huge cake was placed before her eyes, Xue Huan couldn't guarantee that Yingxianlou would not be tempted.
So she couldn't throw out her chips at the beginning.
They arrived at Yingxian Tower in a hired luxurious carriage. Xue Huan and A'man got out of the carriage. She asked the coachman to wait in the carriage and make sure to keep an eye on the things inside.
The servant responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry, young lady."
After entering Yingxian Tower, Xue Huan did not ask for a private room, but instead went to an empty seat by the window in the hall with Ah Man.
The waiter came over with a pot of hot tea, wiped the table, and asked what they wanted to order.
Xue Huan listed the dishes: "Spicy chicken, boiled fish, spicy shrimp, and stir-fried vegetables."
The waiter was stunned. Aside from the last stir-fried vegetable dish, he had never heard of the first three dishes. What kind of chicken was spicy chicken? And there was boiled fish and spicy shrimp. He thought the ingredients were nothing more than chicken, fish, and shrimp, but how should they be prepared?
The waiter scratched his head and said, "Sir, the dishes you ordered are not available in our restaurant. How about something else? Our edamame chicken, steamed sea bass, and stir-fried river shrimp are all our chef's specialties. I guarantee you'll love them."
Xue Huan slammed the table. "What's wrong with you, man? Isn't Yingxianlou the largest and best restaurant in Fengchi County? I came here specifically because of your reputation, and you can't even cook a few dishes?"
The waiter looked miserable, thinking that these two guests might have been sent by the rival to cause trouble.
The shopkeeper heard the noise and came over to ask what happened. The clerk came close to the shopkeeper and whispered what happened. The shopkeeper also had the same suspicion as the clerk and looked at Xue Huan and the other two.
Although Xue Huan had an ordinary face, her attire and demeanor were quite good, and her exposed hands were white and delicate, showing at first glance the hands of someone who had lived a life of luxury.
There was a maid following behind him.
Could such a person be sent by the Imperial Kitchen to deliberately cause trouble?
