Chapter 286: Expanding beyond the capital
Shen Huazheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Yes, I do have this idea. General Xie should also think this dish is suitable."
As early as when she knew that General Xie and Yun Gan were planning to prepare a New Year banquet for the soldiers in the capital, Shen Huazheng thought of Da Pan Ji.
The reason why General Xie was invited to have lunch at the Shen Mansion today was to allow him to experience the uniqueness of this dish more intuitively.
General Xie put down his teacup and said, "It is indeed very suitable. The big plate of chicken is large in portion and delicious."
He was very satisfied with the big plate chicken, which contained not only meat and vegetables but also noodles.
If there is a big plate of chicken on the table, maybe there can be less other staple dishes.
General Xie thought for a moment and said, "Princess Yinghua, let's put the big plate chicken on the menu. Well, the boiled prawns and spring vegetable and scallop casserole are also good."
Of course, not only the blanched prawns and the spring vegetable and scallop casserole are good.
The braised abalone was also very good, he loved it, but it was a bit too expensive.
If possible, General Xie would like to move all the dishes on today's table to the New Year's banquet.
But funds are limited, so we still have to do what we can.
"good."
Shen Huazheng and General Xie drank tea while discussing the list and prices of the annual banquet.
Soon, the two of them finalized the menu for the New Year's banquet.
Chen Huazheng had asked someone to write down the names of the dishes, and planned to tell people to prepare the ingredients and make preparations for the New Year banquet in advance.
General Xie looked at the names of the dishes that Shen Huazheng had someone write down, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It turned out that I made the right choice to go to the Chen Mansion.
Princess Yinghua is not only capable of making decisions, but is also very efficient in doing things.
As soon as the discussion was over, she began to make preparations.
Thinking of his other purpose, General Xie hesitated for a while, but finally spoke.
"County Lady Yinghua, I actually have something else I want to discuss with you today."
Shen Huazheng was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect General Xie to have other intentions today.
"General Xie, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
General Xie: "Have you ever thought about expanding your food business outside the capital?"
Expand beyond the capital?
Chen Huazheng looked at General Xie: "General Xie, are you talking about expanding to the northwest?"
General Xie laughed: "The county lady is indeed very smart, this is exactly what I meant."
Shen Huazheng: “…Not yet.”
Although the three of them thought about expanding their business outside the capital, they could only think of the surrounding areas.
For example, going to Mianzhou County, after all, that is her territory and is close to the capital.
Or, go to the prosperous Jiangnan.
But for the time being, they had not thought of going as far as the northwest.
General Xie had expected Chen Huazheng's reaction. He smiled and said, "The northwest is indeed a little far away, but have you ever thought that many foods in the food street can also be sold in the northwest? I dare to guarantee that many foods can sell very well there."
General Xie had a determined look on his face, but he was a little uncertain in his heart.
He didn't know whether Shen Huazheng would agree to open a branch so far to the northwest.
Moreover, opening a branch in the northwest is not the same as taking over the New Year banquet business.
Even if Shen Huazheng was convinced about this matter, she would probably have to discuss it with the other two partners.
Alas, if that doesn't work, he can only buy some of his favorite food and take it back with him.
General Xie couldn't help feeling heartbroken when he thought of his increasingly empty wallet.
Why is this money so hard to spend?
When he first returned to Beijing, he was shocked by Xie Mi's greed, and at that time he felt a little disappointed with him.
Who would have thought that he would now become a person who spends all his money on food.
Alas, the world is unpredictable!!!
Chen Huazheng pondered for a moment. General Xie was right. Many foods were very suitable for people in the northwest.
However, the distance between the northwest and the capital is still a bit far.
If you really want to open a semicolon there, there are many issues that need to be considered.
There are still many differences between this world and Chen Huazheng's original world. There must be some differences between the northwest here and the northwest in the original world.
We still need to understand the culture and various situations in the northwest before we can make a conclusion.
Moreover, the business does not belong to her alone, she has to discuss it with Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia.
"I have received General Xie's advice, but this is not a trivial matter and I cannot make the decision alone. I need to discuss it with my cousin and the others."
General Xie nodded to show his understanding, and said solemnly: "I understand, please consider it carefully."
He thought for a moment and added, "If you finally decide to open a branch in the northwest, you can also look for me or Yan Qing if you need help."
After all, the Xie family has been stationed in the northwest for so many years and has a certain amount of influence.
The Yun family is a native of the Northwest and has their own network of contacts.
If Shen Huazheng and the other two really decided to expand their business to the northwest, there would be no problem in providing them with some help.
Moreover, if we can persuade them to open a branch in the Northwest, it will be a good thing for the benefit of the people.
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "Thank you, General. We will inform you as soon as we come up with the result."
If we really want to expand our business to the northwest at that time, we may really need the help of the Xie family at the beginning.
Since General Xie took the initiative to bring it up, she would accept the favor first.
Seeing that the seriousness in Shen Huazheng's eyes did not seem fake, General Xie was overjoyed.
It seems that she is seriously considering expanding her food business to the northwest.
Although he also understood that this was a big deal and Shen Huazheng couldn't make the decision alone.
However, being able to convince Shen Huazheng today is half the battle.
After all, among the three of them, Shen Huazheng is the leader.
General Xie knew that Chen Huazheng would soon find Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia and talk to them about opening a branch in the northwest.
Something that was originally uncertain was actually accomplished.
General Xie seemed to have seen all kinds of food shops in the northwest waving to him, and his heart was filled with joy.
He picked up the teacup and drank tea again to hide his excitement.
But in just one morning, he not only negotiated two important matters, but also got a free meal.
When General Xie thought about the delicious food he would have when he returned to the Northwest, he instantly forgot about the possibility that his wallet would shrink significantly and he happily imagined the future.
If this really happens, I wonder what kind of delicacies from Beijing will appear in the northwest.
Snacks and treats that can be stored for a longer period of time should be shipped in first.
There are also foods related to mutton. There is mutton in the northwest, and perhaps County Master Yinghua and others will send a group of cooks over.
Of course, Princess Yinghua might also create some new food based on the climate and customs of the Northwest.
No matter what it is, he is looking forward to it~~
