It's not that they can't afford expensive ingredients, but these gourmets who travel a long way just for a bite have very keen noses and can smell the difference in the spices they use right away.
The aroma of the vegetables in Yunhe Village seems to have some special magical power.
Hearing that so many people had come, Lin Jinyue entertained them.
When she heard that it was a custom-made birthday banquet, Lin Jinyue took out a box.
She had prepared for it long ago.
Lin Jinyue took out another sign with a piece of paper on it: November arrangements.
There is a calendar on top, and there is an extra empty space below for her to take notes.
This was not the end. She smiled and said, "How many stores do you have in your area? Take a look at the price I offer before you make a decision."
As she spoke, Lin Jinyue began to distribute pamphlets.
The booklet lists banquets of various grades, depending on the complexity of the dishes.
The first-class banquet had special delicacies from their village, the first-class banquet had them too, but only wine, and the third-class banquet was a little simpler, but they were all dishes they had never seen before.
Lin Jinyue charges a relatively high price because she is afraid that they will invite her every day.
The first-class banquet includes their village’s specialty wine, which is not sold to the public, as well as some special dishes, such as hot pot, dry pot, and some fancy Chinese and Western food.
All can be arranged.
There is nothing that Lin Jinyue can't do, except what they can't think of.
She would be able to unlock the villa soon. When she was writing the article, she searched all the special recipes from all over the country throughout China's history of thousands of years. There would definitely be some delicious food that they could not imagine.
But someone asked, "Isn't it always cheaper if you order more? You need 188 taels of silver for two tables of this kind of banquet, so how can you need 1,000 taels for ten tables?"
Lin Jinyue explained: "It's not tiring to serve two tables, but ten tables have to be prepared the night before, and it's tiring to serve too many people, so there are only two of us."
Lin Jinyue thought that her price could stop many people from coming.
This is just the price of the banquet.
There are cake prices at the back.
The worst one would cost 100 taels of silver, and it was a simple single-layer cake like the old lady’s, with a longevity peach in the middle of a bunch of flowers.
A little more beautiful, can be made into a variety of shapes.
Butterflies, beauties, and various novelty styles of fondant cakes.
For the most complicated one, Lin Jinyue received 888 taels.
Who would have thought that even after she had set the price like that, she would actually see a few men in fancy clothes whispering to each other in low voices.
She couldn't hear, but the distance was close enough that the system could help her relay the message:
"Brother Xu, our two families have always had a good relationship. How about this, you order on the first day, I order on the seventh day, and we take turns to eat."
"I have never had a concubine or children on the first day of the lunar year."
"Brother Xu, I told you, don't be too honest. Look, can I lie under your bed and listen to when your concubine celebrates her natal day?"
"Brother Chen is right."
"Hey, what are you two talking about? Why don't you take me with you? Although we had a festival before, this banquet is rare. You can't invite people to come over every day. Why don't we..."
"Okay, the old grudges between our Chen and Zhao families are now written off."
“…”
Lin Jinyue was silent.
Oh no, they also fought for the table?
Lin Jinyue exclaimed, "What a good fellow."
Fortunately, she still had a second plan.
Lin Jinyue pointed to the exquisite wooden box beside her and said, "You guys draw the cards, and make your reservations in the order you draw them. I'll take half of the deposit, and it won't be refunded if you don't show up."
It was such a demanding request, but everyone present was excited.
No one left and everyone was a little excited.
There were even a few who kept praying towards the distant sea, asking for blessings so that they could win the prize sooner.
Lin Jinyue:......
She felt that not opening a restaurant would be a real loss for her family.
People in Lingnan are so rich.
[System: Lingnan can export grain. The grain prices outside are high...]
[Lin Jinyue: ! ! Then we are in some danger. ]
【System: That’s right. 】
[Lin Jinyue:...]
The system is really too calm.
Forget it, the fire hasn’t burned her butt yet, she can still continue to make money.
Lin Jinyue counted them and found that there were eighteen people in total. She had set a rule that she would not do that many jobs each month, only ten or so. Therefore, there would be a few unlucky people present who would have to wait until next month.
Lin Jinyue put 20 brands in there and asked them to draw them one by one.
The sign was exquisitely made, but in order to prevent cheating, she simply wrote the number on it.
Ensure that everything is level and straight.
After drawing the number card, Lin Jinyue asked, "Master Zhao, which day do you want to book? If you book more than two tables, you have to set aside a day for me to prepare."
"bright……"
Before Mr. Zhao finished speaking, Lin Jinyue quickly crossed out the date November 3rd.
Mr. Zhao: "Then let's book number 4, first-class banquet, ten tables, and a 888-yuan cake. You can write the congratulatory message as you like, as long as it looks good."
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, she crossed out numbers 4 and 5 and recorded Mr. Zhao's order.
Mr. Zhao couldn't wait to send out the deposit, for fear that something might change if he was late.
Lin Jinyue looked at the rows of silver ingots and accepted them with a smile.
I don't know what the war situation is like outside, but the wealthy merchants in Lingnan no longer use silver notes, only silver.
Almost every family has reserved several tables.
There was one restaurant that was hosting a birthday party for an elderly person. They were willing to pay a higher price to book 20 tables, but for the cake, they chose a simpler birthday peach.
Another family was planning to have a wedding, and they ordered a three-layer fondant cake for two people for 888 yuan.
Lin Jinyue received a lot of deposit.
However, after the others left, she only temporarily put the silver into the farm, a total of more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Considering that this is just a deposit, apart from those special dishes, other ingredients will also be provided by them.
Lin Jinyue just felt that she was going to make a fortune.
I hope Zhan Xian can slow down a bit and not delay her from making money.
Although Lin Jinyue has more money in her hands, she can definitely unlock the farm.
But she still didn't touch the money.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
Lin Jinyue put the money away, and finally decided to use some of it for village construction.
Concrete floors, inns, and restaurants all need to be arranged.
Lin Jinyue didn't do anything else during this period. She mainly went to Guangcheng with her father to prepare banquets for people.
I don't know why, she said she could prepare a banquet even though she usually doesn't have any special events.
Then Master Zhang, Master Chen, the masters of each family, and their third, fourth, and second concubines all started to celebrate their birthday banquets.
However, Lin Jinyue didn't care whether the other person was really celebrating his birthday or not, she just wanted to make money from him.
That’s nearly thirty thousand taels of real gold and silver!
This month, Lin Jinyue made a lot of money.
Moreover, because they were in Guangcheng, the masters of each family had arranged places for their daughters.
Those young masters in Shawan County who wanted to buy all kinds of novel gadgets couldn't find Lin Jinyue at all.
The threshold of Yunheji Grocery Store was almost trampled down.
It was not until the beginning of the twelfth lunar month that Lin Jinyue returned to Shawan County.
As soon as she got off the dock, she was surrounded by people, not knowing who had leaked the news in advance.
Lin Jinyue felt a little helpless.
