Chapter 166 The Future No. 1 Restaurant in the World
Zhu Mingqing glanced at them one by one. They were all short and thin, with thick calluses on their hands, which showed that they were indeed quite stunning.
She took out the blueprints and led a few people to an open space next to the backyard garden.
The servants had already been busy here, and the bluestone tiles were piled all over the ground, looking dirty and messy.
Zhu Mingqing took out the blueprint and briefly explained the purpose of the building. The craftsmen replied readily, "We can do it!"
After the work started, Zhu Mingqing stood in the corridor in the distance and looked at this side. She didn't even go back to eat lunch. Instead, she asked the servants to move the tables and chairs over, and she was responsible for supervising the work.
"Madam, several young men and women are coming."
After Fen Tao finished speaking, Luo Xiao jumped up and sat down beside her.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead from his recent martial arts training, looked at the craftsman over there, and asked curiously, "Mother, what are you doing?"
"Prepare a delicious dish." Zhu Mingqing said casually.
Luo Xiao's eyes lit up: "Prepared for Huaxianglou?"
Zhu Mingqing raised the corner of his mouth. "Yes and no. I'm planning to open a second Huaxianglou store across from Tianxianglou."
"Ah?" Luo Xiao was stunned. He looked at Brother Wen, who was also confused and obviously didn't know the news.
Luo Fu thought for a moment, her mother was really rich.
She quietly stepped forward, tentatively placed her hand on her mother's shoulder, and gently massaged it.
Zhu Mingqing paused, then continued, "Store No. 1's customers are ordinary people, while Store No. 2's main customers are dignitaries and merchants. They are all wealthy people, and are also Tianxianglou's target customers."
Luo Fu's face lit up with joy, but her mother did not stop her.
Luo Xiao nodded: "I know, that's what my second brother said. Let's make and sell Tianxianglou's dishes."
At that time, whoever can attract more customers will make more money.
Zhu Mingqing choked while eating pastries and quickly drank a glass of water to relieve the choking. She turned her head and looked straight at the third brother.
He didn't say anything, but it made people feel uneasy.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Xiao scratched his head. Did he say something stupid again?!
"Do you want to build the best restaurant in the world?" Zhu Mingqing said these earth-shattering words calmly.
Luo Xiao: ...
Did he hear it right?
The best restaurant in the world.
It sounds ridiculous, but what's going on with this heart beating so fast?
Fen Tao, Wen Baolu, Luo Huai and Luo Fu all looked over closely, holding their breath, afraid of missing any important words.
Zhu Mingqing's lips curled up. "Unfortunately, I stumbled upon a cookbook a while ago. It's full of food that Nanxia hasn't seen before. If I can open one restaurant, why not open a few more? While the goal is ambitious, if every state and city has a branch of Huaxianglou in the next few years, wouldn't Huaxianglou truly be the best restaurant in the world?"
The world is in chaos, and all forces are ready to move. This is a good time to stir up capital!
Luo Xiao swallowed, his temples bulging.
His mother is really bold.
But what's with this sudden excitement?
Luo Huai only felt a burst of ringing in his ears. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Now it was Zhu Mingqing's turn to be stunned!
Luo Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, what are you going to do?"
"Go check the details of Tianxianglou!"
Also make preparations early.
His mother has such lofty ambitions, and as her son, he can't stay at home all day!
Luo Xiao quickly chased after him: "I'm going too."
Wen Baolu also said, "Then I'll go buy a shop."
Only Luo Fu was left there, continuing to carefully press her mother's shoulders.
"Stop." Zhu Mingqing suddenly shouted.
Then he took out a bag of silver and put it on the table.
She said, "You've done a great job taking care of your sister-in-law. I told you I'd give it to you a long time ago, but I never had the chance. Remember to keep it."
Luo Fu blushed and said embarrassedly, "It's all my responsibility." As she spoke, she glanced at the purse, revealing her true thoughts.
Everyone is doing serious work now, but she has accomplished nothing. It was really a surprise that her mother suddenly gave her this money.
But there are more surprises.
She quietly opened it and took a look. There were at least fifty taels of silver.
hiss--
Half a year’s monthly salary!
"You still have to study in the afternoon, so go back to your room and rest." Zhu Mingqing sent the man away directly.
After a while, the craftsman came to report that the oven was ready.
Zhu Mingqing immediately stood up to take a look.
I saw a small room built on the open space, with iron sheets on top and two circular pipes on the left and right at the bottom, which could be used to control the size of the fire.
"Madam, we have done everything according to your requirements." The craftsmen stood by and were very curious about the oven that had just been completed.
Is this thing used to make roast duck?
I don’t know what it will look like.
Zhu Mingqing checked everything over and confirmed that everything was correct. He paid the workers and let them go. However, before leaving, he left the workers' address and asked them to visit him if they needed anything in the future.
The afternoon sun was still quite strong, and it shone brightly on people, making them feel uncomfortable.
But it is just right for drying in the oven.
One afternoon is enough.
Just right for doing some preparatory work.
The duck, which had just survived in the fairy palace for a few days, was handed over to the servants to deal with, and they were also instructed to cheer up the duck.
This makes the duck skin crispy and delicious.
She took Hongmei and others to prepare the ingredients and sauce for the roast duck.
Malt sugar, rice vinegar, and water from Xianfu Creek are mixed into crispy water.
Then apply it evenly on the duck that has been scalded.
Finally, place it in the fairy house to control the water and blow dry.
By dusk, the roast duck pancakes and other ingredients are ready.
A big fire started in the oven, the temperature rose rapidly, and several ducks were hung in the oven.
Everyone had never seen this novel cooking method before, and they were all curious, not knowing what the final product would look like.
Zhu Mingqing put on the jade pendant, carefully concentrated his energy, and silently recited the 200-degree high temperature in his mind.
An hour later, everyone was so hungry that they could only eat cakes to fill their stomachs.
After all, Zhu Mingqing has never failed in making delicious food, and no one wants to miss this delicacy.
"Time is up!"
Zhu Mingqing suddenly shouted.
The servants immediately opened the lid, and the fragrant aroma of meat instantly hit their noses. They looked at the whole roast ducks that were taken out. The skin was greasy and golden, and it felt a little hard to the touch, but when they applied more force, it suddenly made a crisp sound.
You can tell at first glance that it is a rare delicacy that makes you salivate.
The duck was sliced, and Luo Xiao swallowed his saliva wildly at the sight of the duck skin that was so crispy that it was falling apart.
In front of each person was a small dish of black sauce, some yellow shredded green onions, and a small plate of crystal clear pastry.
Zhu Mingqing demonstrated by dipping the duck meat in the sauce, then adding some side dishes, rolling it up with the duck meat in the pancake skin, and taking a bite.
