The next morning, Chaoge left Jun Yumo and went directly out of the city.
When she arrived at the yard, she found that the yard, which was deserted a few days ago, was now bustling with activity.
"Meet the gang leader!"
Chaoge came to the main hall and sat at the top. The ten elders who received the news all came to the main hall and saluted her with their fists clasped.
"I didn't expect that the ten of you would come so quickly. Have you brought all the hall masters under your command?"
"Reporting to the gang leader, everyone has arrived."
Chaoge nodded. "In that case, let's strike while the iron is hot. I'll make a list later and you can send someone to buy the things for me."
It is easiest to open a hotpot chain store. You just need to teach the techniques and let the owners take the hotpot ingredients back home. Once the store is open, you can start doing business, which is much faster than other methods.
When Chaoge wrote the menu and asked people to buy it, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Boss, why are all the words written about food?"
Chaoge gave the menu to Xue Rouyan and left the purchasing task to her. However, when Xue Rouyan saw the items on the list, her eyes widened in disbelief.
After all, their gang leader gathered so many people here not just for food.
"Go buy it first. I'll go back to the city to get something and come right over."
Following Chaoge's instructions, Xue Rouyan took the Beggars' Sect disciples to the vegetable market and bought everything Chaoge needed.
Chaoge also pulled a cart of things and returned to the yard in the suburbs.
Afterwards, Chaoge gathered all the hall masters together and taught them how to make the broth. After the broth was made, she began to prepare the ingredients herself.
After all, it is winter, and even in Beijing, the food available for purchase is limited.
Most of the time, Chaoge only does the beginning, and leaves the rest to the hall master and sub-hall masters.
By noon, the aroma of hot pot had already wafted through the courtyards in the suburbs.
"It smells so good. It's hot and has a unique aroma. It looks delicious. But, Master, we are the Beggars' Gang. If we let a bunch of beggars open a restaurant, will anyone come to patronize us?"
Leng Zekang looked at the soup boiling in the pot and suddenly thought of this question.
In order to get these people up to speed quickly and catch the end of winter, Chaoge only made two soup bases, one mushroom soup and one red soup.
Even the dipping sauce is ready, you just need to brush the ingredients on the bottom of the pot and you can eat it.
Facing Leng Zekang's doubts, Chaoge calmly ate a piece of mutton and placed it directly in the bowl of dipping sauce in front of Leng Zekang.
"Just dip it like this and you can eat it. If you can't handle spicy food, you can try the mushroom soup first."
When everyone followed Chaoge's example and tried this novel hotpot, their eyes suddenly lit up!
"What does this taste like? This red color is so irritating, but after eating it, I feel refreshed!"
"This is called chili pepper. Eating it in winter will warm your body. Some places prefer this flavor.
Okay, you all try it, and then learn to make it yourself this afternoon. Also, when I was doing it just now, did you take notes as I asked you to do?"
This is a technical job, but it is something you can learn after just one look. However, everyone has to take these things back to their own territory and sell them to customers.
In order to avoid mistakes, Chaoge explained the steps to them one by one when making the hot pot, and ordered them to write them all down on paper so that they would not forget them after returning home.
"Don't worry, boss. We have all remembered it. I just didn't expect you to be so amazing. Not only are you a great doctor, but you can also cook delicious food. It's freezing outside, and after eating this bite of meat, I feel sweat all over."
Mengqiao held the bowl, swallowed a piece of tofu, and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
For example, the place where they are located, Beiping Lu, is covered with ice and snow, and the locals like to eat big pieces of meat, but they are tasteless. If they bring this taste to Beiping Lu, then the money of the people in Beiping Lu will not be put into their pockets, right?
In the future, with this business, why would the Beggars' Gang in Beiping Lu be afraid of becoming the last one in the Beggars' Gang?
Chaoge looked at the old man who had gone against him in the past, and felt a little uncomfortable with his current appearance.
Unexpectedly, Mengqiao finished his words and slapped the back of the head of a hall master beside him with his backhand, "Teach me this craft while you are still in the Canglan Dynasty. From now on, our brothers in the Beggar Gang of Beiping Lu will rely on this business to live a good life."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard."
"Also, go back and pick a few talented brothers to practice their knife skills. Look at how good the gang leader's knife skills are. The dishes he puts on the plate look as pretty as flowers. If we serve dishes like this on the table, we won't have to worry about not making money. The gang leader is now the one who pays us monthly wages, so we have to work harder!"
The hall master just nodded his head when Mengqiao scolded him. Chaoge felt relieved seeing that they, the elders, were urging him on.
"In the next three days, you all have to practice well in this courtyard. Later, I will have someone prepare enough ingredients and take you to the hot pot restaurant in Beijing to have a taste of theirs. Then you can learn from their methods of opening a store and open your own store when you return."
"Yes, don't worry, our ten elders will definitely supervise our subordinates to study hard."
Leng Zekang also kept eating while not forgetting to make a promise to Chaoge.
"After you go back, try to open a store first, then let the people below you learn, and after seeing the effect, you can open a second store. I will be free these few days, so I will write you a book on how to open a store. Take it back and read it carefully, and then teach it to the people below you.
In addition, from now on, brothers in the store must hide their identities and not declare themselves to be members of the Beggars' Sect. They must dress in a uniform manner. This way, they can conceal their identities and stand out from the Beggars' Sect, hiding in the market and conducting other underworld businesses of the Beggars' Sect."
"Boss, this is a good suggestion. If that's the case, the waiters and shop assistants below will have to be specially selected."
Xue Rouyan added her own opinion after hearing this.
Chaoge nodded in agreement, "You elders, hall masters, and branch hall masters must carefully screen the disciples who are suitable for the job. Don't let anyone know about the Beggars' Sect's business. At least we can keep quiet and make a fortune for now."
Chaoge called the ten elders together and gave them some special instructions. After each of them put forward their opinions on the hot pot business, the meeting ended.
After the meeting, Chaoge directly kept Mengqiao and Xie Qianrong.
"Where is the person you were asked to pick up?"
Seeing that he had been in the suburbs for quite some time, and these two people had not reported to him about the message he had sent to them, Chaoge guessed a bad result.
But no matter what the result is, she has to ask clearly.
