Chapter 268 Opening a Hot Pot Restaurant
Dong Cuilian also truly admired Gan Fanren. Like her son, she admired Gan Fanren's actions.
She said, "By the way, Madam seems to be planning to open a shop recently. Go ask her later if she needs any help?"
"Although Madam's status is different now, she is still a woman. There are many inconveniences when she goes out to do things."
When Li Zhi came to find Hui Niang, he saw Su Nanxing was also there, and they were discussing what kind of shop to open.
Before, they had been homeless and living under someone else's roof, which was not convenient for them to do business. Now that they had the opportunity, Hui Niang wanted to open a shop again.
After all, they have done business and seen the world. Suddenly, they are asked to stay in the backyard like before, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
Now that Gan Fanren is back, Tongmen Pass, Changshi Pass and Qingtai Pass have been conquered and connected.
Now is a good time to open a shop.
Although the situation in the three passes has improved a lot, after all, they have experienced a famine and the people still don’t have much money in their pockets.
It is definitely not okay to ask for exorbitant prices like before in the royal capital.
The things in the shop must be cheap and attractive.
Best of all, most people won’t feel too bad about it.
What is it?
Li Zhi said in a naive voice: "I have no experience in this, I'll listen to Nanxing."
Su Nanxing was a little embarrassed: "How about we open a food therapy shop, and sell medicated food in the shop. Medicinal food can not only strengthen the body, but also sell for a higher price."
Hui Niang nodded after listening: "A herbal medicine shop is a good idea, do you have any other ideas?"
Gan Huai Zhong: "Why not open a bookstore or a teahouse, where people can learn knowledge and cultivate their sentiments."
Gan Huai Bi jumped and shouted: "What's the point of opening a bookstore, you can't make much money, it's better to sell food."
"My aunt's cooking is so delicious, her food must be very popular."
Gan Tian agreed.
[Hehe, it's better to make food. Food is the first necessity of the people. As long as the taste is good, there will be people willing to buy it.]
[Hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and BBQ restaurants are all very easy to expand and become strong. With the system, there is no need to worry about the ingredients. It will definitely attract a lot of people.]
Hui Niang couldn't help but think of the delicious hot pot.
It tastes really good.
The hot pot soup base, coupled with the fragrant dipping sauce, is delicious even for dipping shoe insoles.
Anyone who has eaten hot pot will say that it is not delicious. This taste will definitely conquer everyone's taste buds.
But she doesn't want to rely on Tian'er's system.
Tian'er's system has helped them a lot. People should not be too greedy. She wants to rely on her own strength to develop hot pot base.
Pan Niang heard Tian Er's thoughts and began to secretly think about opening a hot pot shop.
Gan Huai Zhong and Gan Huai Bi also nodded quietly.
Opening a hot pot shop is indeed a good idea.
"Why don't we open a hot pot shop, but we don't have the base material, so we have to develop it ourselves."
[I have it, I have it.]
Gan Tian shouted, but couldn't say such a long sentence.
Hui Niang just pretended not to hear and discussed with Pan Niang about developing the hot pot base material.
Su Nanxing said, "There seem to be some herbs in the hot pot base. I saw them in the base when I ate it before."
"I'll bring the herbs to you later, you can try it."
Pan Niang also said, "This soup base is not difficult, but it requires a lot of chili and butter. Where can we get these things?"
In Dayun, killing cattle is illegal.
Although they are now rebelling and don't have to abide by Dayun's laws, cattle are also very precious.
It would be stupid to kill the working cattle just to satisfy their appetite.
"We can try lard, which is also very fragrant."
Hui Niang was afraid that Pan Niang would feel stressed, so she said, "We don't have to completely restore the taste of the base material, as long as we can restore 70% to 80%."
"Spring ploughing will come in a while, and when it arrives, we can try to grow peppers, so that we won't have to worry about not having peppers."
"What's the big deal about restoring 70% to 80%, if we do it, we have to do our best, we have to make it taste better."
Gan Tian nodded: [My aunt is so cool, she used to be taciturn, she didn't know how to fight for herself when she was bullied, but now she is so domineering! ]
[Based on my aunt's ability, it is not impossible, after all, the base material I got from the system supermarket tastes far worse than that of a regular hot pot restaurant, maybe my aunt can really make it taste better. ]
Gan Tian's words gave Pan Niang confidence.
Hui Niang asked Li Zhi to help her keep an eye out for any shops that were sold in the city, while she and Pan Niang spent the whole day in the kitchen, preparing hot pot base and dipping sauce.
The mansion smelled very fragrant these days, and the servants in the mansion couldn't help but growl when they smelled the smell.
"What is Madam making, it smells so good!"
"I heard from Yi Cui beside Madam that Madam wants to open a shop, and now she is preparing the food to sell in that shop."
"It smells so good, I wonder if the shop Madam opened is expensive, if it's not expensive, I will go there for a feast when my monthly salary comes down."
"I want to eat too."
"Okay, okay, don't be greedy, Madam said that everyone will eat this new food at noon today."
Hearing this, the servants were all excited.
"Our mistress is so nice. She never treats us harshly and often gives us gifts."
"Yes, I used to be a servant in other mansions. They simply don't treat servants as human beings. We are so lucky to meet such a master."
Everyone came to the kitchen. There were many tables outside the kitchen. There was an exquisite copper stove on the table. There was a charcoal fire under the copper stove. In the early spring when it was still a little cold, everyone felt warm.
"This is the food I developed. I would like to invite everyone to taste it."
Hui Niang taught everyone how to eat in a soft voice: "Everyone must eat slowly, don't burn it."
"The most important thing is that everyone should not just eat, it is best to give some opinions."
With the base provided by Gan Tian as a comparison, Pan Niang quickly developed a method for making hot pot base with her skillful hands.
Although it is not as fresh and spicy as the base provided by Gan Tian, it tastes amazingly fragrant.
Everyone felt hungry just by smelling it, and after eating it, they felt it was so fragrant that they could hardly control themselves.
"It's so delicious, I've never eaten anything like it."
"Everyone says that your majesty is the incarnation of a god. Such delicious food is simply not available in the human world. It must be given by a goddess."
"No wonder I feel warm all over after eating this."
"No, I feel uncomfortable all over after eating this. It's so spicy and painful."
Some people like spicy food, while others can't eat it. Just one bite will make their mouth swollen.
