After the payment and goods were settled, Ye Diao said, "Miss Zhao, I have a humble request."
Since you know it's an unreasonable request, why do you still say it?
Of course, Xue Huan would never say that. She said, "Young Master Ye, please tell me about it."
"Didn't Miss Zhao provide me with three recipes? Now that I have chili peppers, Chef Ding can learn how to make them. But there are too few chili peppers, and they're expensive. I really can't afford them, so I hope Miss Zhao can guide Chef Ding so he doesn't take detours and waste the chili peppers I worked so hard to buy."
Ye Diao said with a bitter face.
Xue Huan was amused by his pitiful appearance. "Okay, no problem. But I hope you can prepare a separate kitchen for me."
"That's natural."
Ye Diao gave an order and the people below started working. In just half a day, a separate small kitchen was cleaned up.
However, the newly built stove cannot be put into use immediately. It needs to be aired first.
Two days later, Xue Huan returned to Yingxian Tower and began to teach Ding Er how to make the three spicy dishes.
Ding Er is a chef with profound skills. The only thing that makes Xue Huan better than him is that she has mastered more dishes. With a little guidance from her, the dishes made by Ding Er taste very good.
Ye Diao and the shopkeeper, who served as food tasters, were both very satisfied.
In just a few days, Ding Er had mastered the essentials of cooking three dishes.
Ye Diao was eager to try and told the shopkeeper, "Tell the waiters to be smart and recommend these three new dishes to the guests."
Xue Huan was surprised: "Are you planning to launch three new dishes just like that?"
"What else?"
Xue Huan held her forehead with her hand. "At least we should preheat it. And instead of pushing the dish on the customers, it's better to let them beg for it."
Ye Diao: "Oh? Then what do you think I should do, Miss Zhao?"
Fatty Liu is an old customer of Yingxianlou. He had previously experienced the incident of "Zhao Xiaoxian causing trouble in Yingxianlou". With his keen sense of smell as a gourmet, he felt that there would definitely be a follow-up to this incident, so he went to Yingxianlou every day these days.
Sure enough, he got what he was waiting for!
"Mr. Liu, to thank old customers like you for your patronage of Yingxianlou, Yingxianlou has recently launched an event to reward old customers. The point is, if you spend over 169 taels of silver at Yingxianlou from today onwards, we will give you a free dish.
"This complimentary dish is a new recipe I learned from Miss Zhao Xiaoxian, and you ate it the other day. If it were sold at normal prices, it wouldn't be cheap, at least twenty taels of silver per dish. But as our regular customer, you deserve this discount."
"Let me tell you, there are only thirty free dishes available, and it's on a first-come, first-served basis."
When Fatty Liu heard this, he immediately slammed the table and said, "Give me a reunion dinner worth 188 taels! I'm definitely going to eat all the free dishes! Go!"
I was afraid of falling behind others and running out of free food.
The guy smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
At the same time, other old customers also learned about the content of the event.
Those who had tasted the dishes cooked by Xue Huan that day could not forget them. They were very excited when they heard the news and immediately "donated generously". Their anxious look was exactly the same as Fatty Liu's.
I haven't tried them, but I've heard about them for a long time. I've been itching to try spicy chicken, boiled fish, and spicy shrimp. I wonder if they're really that delicious? How could they be praised so highly by people like Fatty Liu?
Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, how could they resist? Although one hundred and sixty-nine taels was a considerable sum of money, it was nothing to the regular customers who could afford to eat at Yingxianlou.
Being able to taste delicacies that most people can’t have is really worth it!
The guests waved their hands and all the staff of Yingxianlou became busy.
Even the shopkeeper was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.
Ye Diao, the boss, was extremely happy. The business of Yingxianlou was usually good, but definitely not this booming. He had already seen huge amounts of money flowing into his pocket.
What a wonderful feeling!
When you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well. The booming business of Yingxianlou is all thanks to the ideas proposed by Miss Zhao. Ye Diao will naturally not forget her.
I packed a big red envelope and gave it to her.
Xue Huan did not refuse, after all, she was the one who contributed both her brainpower and her effort.
Having accomplished her mission, it was time for her to leave. Xue Huan bid farewell, and Ye Diao personally escorted her out. Finally, he asked eagerly, "Miss Zhao, I wonder when the next transaction will be? Yingxianlou has just made a name for itself with its new dishes. We can't afford to skip meals, can we?"
Ten kilograms of peppers are really not enough.
Xue Huan pondered for a moment, "Chili peppers are hard to come by, and I'm not sure when the next transaction will be. But I promise, as soon as I get them, I'll send them to Master Ye immediately."
Ye Diao's face was filled with disappointment. "Well, I'll wait for news from Miss Zhao."
As she turned around, Xue Huan said, "Chili peppers are a rare commodity, so naturally, you can't rely on quantity to win. Scarcity makes things valuable. Young Master Ye, why don't you think about raising the price of spicy vegetables? That way, selling one dish will be worth more than selling dozens or hundreds."
If something is too common, its price will definitely not be high. Conversely, if you want its price to remain high, it is necessary to maintain its rarity.
Take bird's nest, for example. Its nutritional value isn't necessarily higher than regular food, but why is its price so high? It's probably due to speculation.
Anyway, it's the rich people who pay the money.
The wool comes from the sheep.
Ye Diao seemed to be inspired and fell into deep thought for a moment. When he came to his senses, Xue Huan was gone.
However, after the old customers in Yingxianlou tasted the complimentary dishes, their opinions were polarized. Some felt that although the taste was good, it really could not be compared with what Miss Zhao had made that day.
Although I thought so in my heart, the chopsticks in my hand never stopped moving.
On the other hand, they had never tasted Miss Zhao's cooking, but they thought, how could there be such delicious food in the world! Love it! It was worth spending so much money just for this complimentary dish!
However, precisely because of the inconsistent reviews, amidst the arguments and discussions among customers, the popularity of the free dishes grew. As a result, the free dishes at Yingxianlou became a complete hit! It went viral!
Even many passers-by joined in the discussion.
Terms such as chili pepper, spicy chicken, boiled fish, and spicy shrimp frequently appear on people's lips.
Those who have eaten it feel superior and elated.
If you have never eaten it, you will naturally be itching to try it, wondering when you can enjoy it yourself.
Correspondingly, Yingxianlou's business has reached a new high, and it is crowded every day. Now, if you want to dine there, you must make a reservation, and some people who have made reservations have to wait for several months.
From this we can imagine how great the charm of chili peppers is.
