Chapter 46 Can she really do it?
Wang Fugui only needed Lin Xiaoyue to tell him the recipe of this dish without reservation. What would it matter if he spent some money? He could bring it back to his boss to taste. Once his boss was in a good mood, he would only reward him more!
"That's right! But only if you tell me how the dish you brought is made."
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and made the number "seven" with her fingers.
Wang Fugui understood what he meant and took out seven silver notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Lin Xiaoyue's hand. "Okay, seven thousand taels of silver notes, count them, young lady!"
Lin Xiaoyue doesn't want such a small profit. With the strength of Jueweilou, she can get more!
She returned the banknote to Wang Fugui and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I want 70% of the revenue from this dish at Jueweilou. I'll come to get it every month!"
Wang Fugui couldn't help but gasp. "Seventy percent? That means even seventy thousand taels wouldn't be enough!"
Oh! How could this girl be so cruel!
He gritted his teeth, took out seven large silver notes from his pocket, and said, "How about I give you 70,000 taels at once?"
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were calm. He wanted to buy the recipe of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for 70,000 taels. Isn't that too much of a disdain for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall? Back then, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was eaten by the emperor!
She turned around and prepared to leave. "Shopkeeper Wang is too insincere. I'd better find another store!"
Wang Fugui was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. What would happen to other restaurants? How many customers would Jueweilou have run away just because of this dish?
He quickly ran in front of Lin Xiaoyue and said in a negotiating tone: "Miss, I'm just the shopkeeper, I don't have that much power! How about you make this dish in our kitchen first, and I'll ask someone to invite the boss to taste it. As long as our boss is willing, everything can be discussed!"
Lin Xiaoyue's face showed a very reluctant expression. If this shopkeeper Wang used some tricks and secretly learned the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" from behind, wouldn't she be at a great loss?
"Shopkeeper Wang, you have to show some sincerity, right?"
Wang Fugui took out the banknote again and put it into Lin Xiaoyue's hand with a smile, "Here is seven thousand taels, keep it and spend it slowly, young lady."
Seven thousand taels? Lin Xiaoyue returned the banknote to Wang Fugui and said with disdain, "Shopkeeper Wang, is this all your sincerity? Or do you think this dish is only worth seven thousand taels?"
Wang Fugui was so angry that he wanted to die. If the waiter in the store had not forcibly stopped her, Lin Xiaoyue would not have smashed the pot in her hand, and he would not have to pay so much money!
Thinking of this, he felt so regretful!
"Someone, come here, kick these ignorant guys out!" Wang Fugui gave an order, and a group of guards in blue rushed out of the hotel. Each of them picked up the waiter who had just made things difficult for Lin Xiaoyue and threw them all out of Juweilou.
Wang Fugui didn't look at the group of guys who made him upset and lose money. He kept staring at Lin Xiaoyue's expression. Sure enough, as soon as the group of tactless guys disappeared, Lin Xiaoyue finally had a smile on her face!
"Seventy thousand taels! Please accept it, young lady!" Wang Fugui quickly took out seven large silver bills and put them in Lin Xiaoyue's hand. He didn't dare to show any reluctance on his face, for fear that Lin Xiaoyue would raise the price again if she was not satisfied!
Lin Xiaoyue is also a person who knows when to quit. Now that the person has been dealt with and the money has been paid, she will just climb down the ladder!
She hid the seventy thousand taels and said to Wang Fugui, "Take me to the kitchen. However, everyone must stay ten meters away from the kitchen while I'm doing this! If I catch you once, our agreement will be cancelled, and I won't return the seventy thousand taels to you!"
Wang Fugui almost wanted to call her his ancestor, but he nodded helplessly and said, "Sure, no problem! I'm a man of my word at Jueweilou! Please, young lady!"
Lin Xiaoyue showed a satisfied expression on her face and followed Wang Fugui to the kitchen.
The chefs were surprised to see a strange woman in the kitchen for the first time, and they all gathered around her. However, Lin Xiaoyue didn't care. She glanced at the entire kitchen and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "Jueweilou's kitchen is so huge!" The abundance of ingredients was astonishing. It's no exaggeration to say that this place is only slightly inferior to the imperial kitchen in the palace!
Luxurious decoration, a flexible shopkeeper, a wide variety of ingredients, the only flaw is the waiter who looks down on others. Overall, Jueweilou's success is not without reason.
Oh! When will I own a restaurant this big? With my modern wisdom, I can open chain stores all over the world. Then I'll be number one!
Thinking of this, she became more eager to cooperate with Jueweilou. She wanted to stand on the shoulders of giants and reach the sky in one step!
"Yes, the kitchen is kept spotless, the ingredients and seasonings are neatly arranged, the floor is dry and not greasy, and there are many precious ingredients to be found here. The famous Jueweilou in Beijing really lives up to its reputation!"
When Wang Fugui heard Lin Xiaoyue's praise, his face was full of pride. Although he was not the owner of Jueweilou, he put all his efforts into Jueweilou. Every time he stood on the street and looked at the sign of Jueweilou, it was like looking at his own child, and he felt indescribable pride and joy in his heart!
"Hahaha! Thank you for the compliment, young lady! I won't bother you here anymore, just take whatever you need!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, shopkeeper!"
Wang Fugui really did what he said. When he left the kitchen, he called all the chefs out together, "Go, go, go, wait outside, stay away! Don't disturb the girl!"
The chefs never expected that such an ordinary girl could impress the arrogant Wang Fugui. What kind of delicious food can she make?
Seeing the busy figures in the kitchen, some people couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper about Lin Xiaoyue's background.
"Boss, where did you find her? What can she do?"
"That's right, so secretive, you don't even let anyone see it! Don't end up making a bunch of garbage, it's embarrassing!"
"Ah! The boss must have been soft-hearted again! I just hope he doesn't burn down our kitchen!"
"Boss, have you forgotten what happened before?"
…
Wang Fugui was full of confidence this time. He had looked at the pile of residue on the ground. In terms of color, aroma and flavor, both were top-notch. Now all he had to do was taste it. I hope he wouldn't be disappointed!
"Hmph! Don't be so confident. Think carefully about what new dishes you're going to serve next month. If the boss is still not satisfied, you can just pack up and leave!"
When the chefs heard this, their faces fell. Yes, they hadn't satisfied their boss for a long time!
You know, Jueweilou’s wages are the highest in the entire capital. If they leave Jueweilou, where else can they find a restaurant that pays so much?
"Shopkeeper, you are such a kind person, please help us think of a solution!"
Wang Fugui was in a great mood when he saw these people being humiliated! Who told them to speak so carelessly just now? How dare they say such bad things about him!
"There is a way. That is to start praying to the Buddha now, hoping that the girl inside can cook dishes that will satisfy the boss!"
The cooks all looked towards the kitchen, their brows furrowed so tightly that they were about to be knotted. The same question was in everyone's mind: Can she really do it?
