Chapter 696: Braised Chicken with Rice



Ye Yun walked dejectedly behind Xue Huan. Xue Huan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Sister Huan, I didn't do the job you assigned me."

Xue Huan smiled, "Aren't there still several houses I haven't looked at? Besides, this has nothing to do with you. It's the landlord's attitude that's bad."

Ye Yun cheered up a little after hearing this.

The second house is located two streets away from the college. It is a small courtyard. The location is not as advantageous as the first one, but it is still okay.

However, Xue Huan still thought it was too small, and this area was under the jurisdiction of the Zhou family. The Zhou family's taxes have always been high, and Xue Huan didn't want to give money to the Zhou family.

After that, she looked at several more places, but Xue Huan still couldn't find one that she was particularly satisfied with.

The last one is located in the outer city and is the farthest from the college, but Xue Huan was attracted by this house at first sight.

The layout of the house is a front building and a back yard. There is a two-story building in the front and several side rooms with a large yard in the back. The yard is planted with flowers and plants and is very beautifully kept.

The owner of the house is an elderly man. His wife passed away and he doesn't want to stay in this sad place anymore, so he wants to rent or sell the house and move somewhere else.

The price offered by the old man was also very fair. The rent was two hundred spirit stones per month, with a minimum lease of one year. If it was sold, it would be seventy thousand spirit stones, which was equivalent to thirty years of rent, minus the decimals.

Compared with the palm-sized shop that was priced at 200,000, the house in front of him was only 70,000, and Ye Yun even felt it was very cheap.

He was really getting carried away. In the past, he would have considered himself wealthy if he had seven spirit stones in his hand, but now he didn't even consider 70,000 spirit stones as money.

Xue Huan walked around the house from front to back and up and down. The house was well maintained and looked about 70% new. There were no major problems with it. After buying it and repairing and renovating it, she could open a shop and live in it directly.

And most importantly, this area is under the jurisdiction of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's tax rate is only 5%, which is much more generous than the Zhou family's 50%.

Of course, this house also has its disadvantages. It is too remote and not very suitable for opening a store and doing business.

But this is not a big problem in Xue Huan's opinion.

So she made the decision on the spot, "Uncle, I'll buy this house."

At that moment, several people came to the Xiao family's office, paid the money and completed the transfer.

Xue Huan held the newly obtained house deed and smiled. In the spiritual world, she was also a homeowner. Having a house meant she had officially settled down.

After looking at houses for a whole day, it was getting late, so Xue Huan returned to school, and Ye Yun moved directly into the newly bought house.

The next day, Xue Huan came out of the college and handed a decoration design drawing to Ye Yun, asking him to find someone to renovate the house.

Lingyao College does not restrict students from traveling, but if you run out during classes, you will be in big trouble if you are caught.

In the world of cultivation, after the decoration is completed, there is no need to ventilate the room specifically. Once the formaldehyde dissipates, you only need to cast a few small spells and the room will become clean and fresh.

So three days later, when Xue Huan received the news that Ye Yun's shop had been renovated, she was not surprised.

When she arrived, the first thing she looked at was the plaque hanging above the shop - Yushizhai.

Derived from "delicacies and delicious food".

There is also a logo engraved on the lower left corner of the plaque, which is the two words "Three Sufferings" written in seal script. All the shops she opens in the future will have this logo.

She looked around inside and out and nodded with satisfaction.

The first floor of the shop is about 30 square meters. After entering, there is an aisle in the middle, with tables and chairs on both sides. At the innermost part is an open kitchen where customers who place orders can see the chef busy at work.

The overall color tone is fresh and elegant, making people feel clean and tidy at first glance.

"Well done." Xue Huan praised Ye Yun.

Ye Yun scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "This is what I should do."

Xue Huan used the back yard as a warehouse and staff dormitory, but now there is only one employee, Ye Yun.

The shop has been renovated, and the next question is what to sell.

Xue Huan had already made up her mind to sell braised chicken with rice, and also some rice noodles, rice bowls, etc. In other words, she planned to run this shop as a fast food restaurant.

Xue Huan asked Ye Yun: "Can you cook?"

"Yes! I cook a lot at home, but I only make home-cooked dishes."

"Home cooking is just right. Come, today I'll teach you how to make braised chicken."

Braised chicken?

A question mark popped up on Ye Yun’s forehead.

"Yellow braised chicken, also known as fragrant chicken pot, is made with chicken thighs, green peppers, potatoes, mushrooms, and other ingredients. The broth is delicious and the chicken is tender. It is a delicious dish suitable for all ages and is best eaten with fragrant rice steamed in a wooden barrel."

Xue Huan took the ingredients out of the space and explained them to Ye Yun.

The most important thing in making this dish is to choose a chicken of the right age. If it is too old, the chicken will be old, and if it is too young, it will not be fully grown yet. However, she does not have this worry.

In the livestock farm of her space, there are hundreds of chickens grazing freely. Those chickens are free and carefree every day. They eat fresh spiritual grass and drink spiritual dew. The meat is so delicious that it even has a hint of sweetness.

Those vegetables are all watered with spiritual energy. Not to mention the taste, eating them can also increase your spiritual power.

So she doesn't have to worry about the ingredients at all.

Ye Yun was indeed talented in cooking. After Xue Huan demonstrated it once, he basically learned it, and the braised chicken he made tasted not much worse than hers.

However, he himself was astonished, his face filled with disbelief. He had made this? How could it be so delicious? It was hundreds of times better than anything he had ever cooked before!

This is of course due to the difference in ingredients.

What Xue Huan took out were all top-grade spiritual foods, and the taste itself was amazing enough. As long as one was not a kitchen killer, the taste of the braised chicken made according to the steps would not be too bad.

After teaching Ye Yun how to make braised chicken, Xue Huan took out a recipe book that she had compiled in advance. The dishes in the recipe book would become the signature dish of this store in the future.

"Just figure it out for yourself. For now, we'll just sell the braised chicken. I'll send someone over to help you later, and I'll also restock the ingredients every once in a while. You just need to do your best to make the dish."

Ye Yun nodded heavily, feeling both pressure and motivation.

Three days later, Yushizhai opened.

Although the aroma coming from the shop is very tempting, the shop is remote and newly opened, so people don’t feel trustworthy, so few people step in.

Even if someone stepped in, once they asked about the price, they would immediately leave because it was ridiculously expensive.

In order to justify the ingredients produced in the space, Xue Huan set the price relatively high. But if anyone has tasted it, they will know that the price is not expensive at all. Compared with the benefits that the dish itself can bring, it is simply a conscience price.

Ye Yun also knew this, but he was still very anxious.

Xue Huan: "Don't worry, just focus on cooking. When your braised chicken skills can match mine, Yu Shi Zhai's chance to become famous will come. But I won't give you too much time, five days at most. Can you do it?"

Ye Yun tried it that day. Although the braised chicken he made was delicious, it was still quite different from the one made by his boss.

He has been working hard these days to reach the level of his employer, but he is still a little short.

Hearing this, his scalp tensed up and he nodded solemnly. Even if he couldn't, he had to do it. He couldn't let his boss down!
