Huang Shaolan also planned to keep a bucket, she also liked the taste.
After tasting it, the two asked their subordinates to start bottling.
First, the portion to be sent to the palace must be packed, and then the portion for Boss He to take to Jiangnan and the capital to sell must be packed.
It will take some time to install everything.
After giving instructions to the people below, the four of them came to Huang Shaolan's resting room and started talking about making dry pot and grilled fish.
Xie Yuchen suggested that this time they should open two stores in the county and the provincial capital at once.
It has been verified that the products produced by Cheng Yue will not be bad.
Cheng Yue had no objection to this. She didn't need to open a store anyway, so she only provided the cooking methods and designs.
"It's the end of September now, and the earliest we can open this shop is the end of October. Then it's the winter and twelfth months, and the city will be even busier then. Why don't we get the skewers ready too!"
Cheng Yue thought about how the market would become more and more lively during the Chinese New Year, so she made a suggestion.
"Grilled skewers? Aren't they different from skewers?"
Huang Shaolan asked.
"Yeah. Skewers are cooked, and these skewers are grilled. For example, the meat skewers we cook have a completely different taste when grilled. Shaolan, have you seen the fish grill in the backyard of the tavern? It's the same principle, just use skewers instead of fish, and then add seasoning during the grilling process."
"We put these skewers right in front of the store. No need to come in. If people passing by want to try one or two, they can just stand and wait. And the prices are not expensive. Vegetarian skewers are two cents, meat skewers are four cents, and other grilled items, like brain, are only about ten or eight cents. Most people can afford it."
Cheng Yue said.
"What about grilled fish? It doesn't seem very convenient to grill it on a rack."
Huang Shaolan asked again.
Cheng Yue did not answer immediately, but picked up a pen and started drawing on the paper.
"Look, this is the entrance to the shop. There's a rack here, and there's a rack here. This rack is for grilling skewers, and this rack is for grilling fish. Putting them at the entrance, the aroma of grilled skewers and fish will attract customers. And, customers will know what kind of food it is at a glance. The dry pot is fried in the kitchen. Well, as for the shop, I think it would be better to have two floors. The upstairs can be reserved as private rooms, and the downstairs has ordinary seating. Wait, I'll draw another one!"
Cheng Yue started drawing again as she spoke.
This time it took longer than last time.
She drew a diagram of the interior of the shop.
She used the space very rationally, making the shop look spacious and not crowded.
However, considering the scorching summer heat of the era, this shop wouldn't be doing very well in the summer, but it would definitely be good in the winter. Furthermore, in the summer, they could open a night market, as the curfew in Yunzhou Prefecture was after midnight.
Cheng Yue started talking while painting.
Shanshui, Xie Yuchen and Huang Shaolan also expressed their questions and opinions.
Finally, I had a preliminary plan.
Yunzhou Prefecture also has a wharf, and the four decided that the best location for the store would be next to the wharf. The store in Taoyuan County would also be located next to the wharf.
It was getting late, and Cheng Yue still had to treat the two of them to grilled fish and dry pot tonight, so after agreeing to continue discussing the issue tomorrow, they left the winery together.
