Gu Yanyue thought about it quickly and finally set her sights on potatoes.
Potatoes are produced in abundance in the Western Regions, so food ingredients are not a problem, but what can be done with potatoes?
Sour and spicy foods are the best appetizers, so why not make wolf tooth potatoes?
"I know what to make, wolf tooth potatoes." Gu Yanyue smiled.
Tuoba Chen looked confused, "Ayue, what are wolf tooth potatoes?"
"You'll know in a moment." Gu Yanyue said mysteriously.
First, Gu Yanyue drew a knife for cutting wolf-tooth potatoes from memory, found a craftsman who made the knife, and had the knife made. Looking at the strange knife, Tuoba Chen was a little confused, "Ayue, it was a good knife, how did you mess it up like this?"
"Just wait and see."
Wolf tooth potatoes also require some vegetables, which are easier to find.
The ingredients were prepared quickly. Gu Yanyue rolled up her sleeves, and the ordinary potatoes were transformed in her hands, becoming fragrant and tempting when they came out of the pot.
"Try it!" Gu Yanyue raised her eyebrows.
Tuoba Chen took a bite and found it sour and spicy, which went well with the seasonal vegetables. The soft and sticky potatoes and the sweet vegetables complemented each other perfectly. The spicy and sour taste stimulated the taste buds and greatly stimulated the appetite as soon as it entered the mouth.
"Delicious." Tuoba Chen praised it highly and ate several bites in a row.
"Tuoba Chen, this is the recipe for wolf tooth potatoes. Take it back and I'll give it to you. Once your cook learns it, the children will naturally be able to eat more." Gu Yanyue generously took out the recipe and handed it to Tuoba Chen. Tuoba Chen was a little confused for a moment, until Gu Yanyue asked him to take it again, then he slowly took the recipe and said, "Ayue, thank you on behalf of the children in the Western Regions."
Gu Yanyue accepted Tuoba Chen's thanks generously, and then made him some wolf tooth potatoes at Tuoba Chen's shameless request. Thinking that Yuwen Ran had not eaten this new dish yet, Gu Yanyue also saved some for Yuwen Ran.
So after getting rid of Tuoba Chen, Gu Yanyue hurriedly took the basket of vegetables to find Yuwen Ran.
"Aran, aren't you angry that I gave the recipe to Tuoba Chen?"
"How could I be angry?" He paused, then continued, "Ayue gave the recipe to Tuoba Chen, which helped Dongsheng to establish a good relationship with the Western Regions. Ayue was helping me, so how could I be angry with you?"
Then, he pulled Gu Yanyue into his arms and said with a smile, "Ayue, you are becoming more and more to my liking."
Yu Wenran's tone was a little ambiguous, and Gu Yanyue was a little shy and blushed.
…
After Gu Yanyue taught Yu An how to make wolf tooth potatoes, this dish became very popular. Thinking that crayfish also need chili peppers, Gu Yanyue decided to go to the countryside to buy some chili peppers herself.
It is the season for harvesting chili peppers, but in Dongsheng, chili peppers are only used as a general condiment and the demand is not high.
The pepper production this year is quite high, but it is difficult to sell the peppers, which is a real headache.
When I arrived in the countryside, I found out that many people had a good harvest of peppers this year. There were too many peppers, and it was difficult to sell them even at a low price.
The village that Gu Yanyue came to was called Shangjing Village, which had the best pepper harvest among the nearby villages.
After discussing with the village chief, Gu Yanyue bought a large batch of chili peppers at the original market price. The chili peppers were originally unsaleable, and no one was willing to buy them even at a lower price. However, Gu Yanyue was willing to buy them at the original market price, which touched the villagers deeply.
"Ms. Gu, you are such a good person. You have helped the village a lot. You are kind and have a good heart!" The villagers praised Gu Yanyue's behavior. Gu Yanyue felt a little embarrassed when she was praised.
"Everyone, please keep the peppers and ensure the quality. As long as the quality is good, the price is not a problem. However, if I find someone trying to deceive me with poor quality, I will not buy peppers from him or his relatives."
Gu Yanyue knew that most of the people in Shangjing Village were relatives. Using this method, everyone would supervise each other for their own benefit, so there was no need to worry too much about the quality of the peppers.
"Don't worry, Miss Gu. You helped us purchase the peppers and solved our big problem. How could we do something unscrupulous?" said an older man in the village, and then everyone agreed.
Gu Yanyue looked at everyone and was also very happy. As expected, the customs of the people in ancient times were still simple.
"My restaurant needs a lot of chili peppers. Collecting from one village is definitely not enough. Everyone, tell your relatives and friends, and tell them where there are chili peppers. Come to Fengji Restaurant and tell me, and I will go to buy them. I hope everyone can help. If you recommend chili peppers, Fengji Restaurant will give you a small gift!"
She encouraged everyone. After all, Fengji’s chili peppers were in great demand right now and she needed someone to introduce her to the source of the peppers.
By the time she was done with all this, the peppers from Shangjin Village and the nearby villages had made up for the pepper demand of Fengji Restaurant. Looking at the peppers in the warehouse, and then going out to see Fengji's booming business, Gu Yanyue suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
She has been in this world for so long, and today she finally built her own business.
Soon, the news of Gu Yanyue's purchase of peppers spread throughout the city. Gu Yanyue's approach of solving the problem for the people was praised by most people. The reputation of Fengji Restaurant soared and it became the best restaurant in the capital.
Gu Yanyue's restaurant has been an affordable restaurant from the beginning. Despite its fame, Fengji has not raised prices on many items. This not only helped Fengji retain its old customers, but also helped it to get a lot of publicity.
In the eyes of the common people, the owner of Fengji Restaurant suddenly became a kind-hearted person, and his good reputation was mentioned several times by the storyteller in the teahouse.
It has to be said that Gu Yanyue was a little flattered by this. She had originally just been purchasing peppers, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally help the restaurant with this wave of publicity.
And from the small room on the other side, Fu Yuan's voice praising her could be heard.
"Little girl, you did a good job this time." Fu Yuan drank a little wine and praised Gu Yanyue for doing a good job. Gu Yanyue gladly accepted it.
Fu Yuan looked at the suspicious figure in the distance, took another sip of wine, and reminded: "Little girl, be more careful in your daily life. There are dangers around you."
"I'd appreciate more advice from you, sir." Gu Yanyue replied.
After Gu Yanyue left, the suspicious figure also left, but disappeared quickly and no longer followed Gu Yanyue.
