The newly opened restaurant did not change its name and was called Yueyinglou. Because Jiang Xueying decided to turn this restaurant into a national chain, the name did not need to be changed.
Jiang Xueying has researched a lot of new dishes for the opening of the restaurant. The ingredients here are all specially selected, so the taste is beyond words. Many of them are taken out by her from the space, which are unique in this era.
On the opening day, the aroma of the restaurant's food spread far and wide, attracting countless food lovers to rush in.
Yueying Building was filled with people from upstairs to downstairs, coming for all kinds of things. There was a long queue outside, and many people were even willing to pay a large sum of money for a seat, which showed how popular the opening of this restaurant was.
The newly hired shopkeeper is a well-informed man, but he has never seen such a grand occasion. He couldn't help but sigh and said, no wonder Miss Jiang dared to come to the capital to open a restaurant. Looking at the huge crowds of people, she must have some real skills.
For half a month, the restaurant was always packed with people.
Upon hearing this, people in Beijing were deeply shocked. Why was this restaurant so popular? Were the food and drinks there really that delicious?
The talk of the town is this:
"Have you tried the newly opened Yueyinglou? The food there is simply amazing, especially the dried bamboo shoot chicken soup, which is so delicious that it makes your eyebrows drop."
"I saw everyone was queuing up, so I went to try it yesterday. It tasted really good, and the wine was fragrant. It was different from the wine I drank in the past. It had a unique fragrance, like the fragrance of lotus. It didn't make me drunk, and I felt refreshed."
Those who had never tasted it heard these words and spread them to others, and they also began to want to try it.
Let’s talk about Princess Shou.
She had to prepare for her birthday banquet on the third day of September, and had been thinking about the dishes for the guests these days. She heard that the food at Yueying Tower was excellent, so she thought about it and told her maid to do it.
"Mulan, go outside the second gate and ask the servant to tell the steward that it was this princess who asked him to go to Yueying Tower to borrow a cook."
Considering that Yueyinglou had been so popular recently, it would be difficult to borrow this cook, so she arranged for the palace's steward to go, to show her sincerity.
The manager was naturally happy to do this job. In fact, he had heard that Yueying Tower had become a popular destination in Kyoto recently. He also wanted to meet the chef of Yueying Tower to see who was the master who could cook such delicious dishes and stimulate the taste buds of countless people in the capital.
He also thought that the owner of this restaurant was of a certain age, otherwise who would have the financial resources and energy to open a restaurant in Beijing.
When he saw Jiang Xueying, he couldn't help but be surprised: "This... the owner of this restaurant is a girl?"
"That's right. I heard that the palace's chief steward was coming, but I was busy here and didn't go out to greet him. Please forgive me."
The manager was still a little dazed. Hearing this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I... I just didn't expect the owner of this restaurant to be so young. The girl is really young and promising, courageous and capable!"
"Oh, Mr. Manager, please stop saying that. I just came to the capital to make a living. I don't know anything else but cooking and brewing wine. Fortunately, everyone likes my restaurant and is willing to come often to support it. Otherwise, I don't know how I would survive."
Jiang Xueying's self-deprecating words made the steward think of her more highly. She was eloquent and low-key, and indeed a smart person.
"Haha, Madam Jiang is really good at joking. Actually, it's like this. The princess sent me here to ask if you can hire the chef from your restaurant to help prepare for the birthday banquet at the palace. I wonder if you, boss, would be willing to lend him the money?"
The manager looked around the restaurant while stating the purpose of today.
This restaurant also has its own unique flavor. The tables and chairs are decorated in the same style. It looks clean and refreshing, and you always feel like you are walking into a backyard.
This was Jiang Xueying's first time dealing with people from the palace. She also understood that the society here was hierarchical and orderly. If she could help the emperor's relatives, it might come in handy in the future.
After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Xueying happily agreed.
"Since the princess wants to borrow someone, I will have to allocate some to help her plan the birthday banquet even if I don't have anyone. Don't worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Jiang Xueying never imagined that she, a cold and ruthless top killer, would one day have to fawn over others. It really is true that things change!
"Okay, the young lady is indeed a straightforward person. If the matter is accomplished, the princess will definitely not let the young lady suffer any loss."
The manager praised her a few words, thanked her, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Jiang Xueying.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen in the back and get you some food. I guess you haven't tried our food yet, so I'll get you a few dishes. Go back and try them carefully. If they suit your taste, please let me know about them."
"Okay, I won't be polite then."
The manager couldn't help but sigh that this Miss Jiang was really good at talking. Her words were extremely thoughtful and there was nothing wrong with them.
Jiang Xueying said she only packed a few dishes, but it was more than enough, nearly ten dishes, all in food boxes specially customized for the restaurant, and she asked the waiter to deliver them.
"Oh, Madam Jiang, you are really too extravagant. How can I be so embarrassed? I am here to treat you. How can I take so much?"
The steward declined and asked her to take some back.
Jiang Xueying smiled and handed all the food to the steward: "Listen to me, these dishes are not just for you. Pick a few that you want to eat, and distribute the rest to the people in the mansion, so that they can also taste the taste of our restaurant. If you like it, you are welcome to come often."
"Madam Jiang is really kind-hearted. Well, those servants haven't tasted it yet. I'll bring it back for them to try. They'll all patronize Madam Jiang's business in the future."
The dishes brought back by the steward were quickly divided up by the servants and eaten up completely.
"Butler, why don't you bring more back?"
The servant was still not satisfied and wanted to try it again.
The manager couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He knocked on the boy's head and said with a smile, "Good boy, you are quite greedy. You want more. This is a kind gift from the boss. If you say so, I might as well move the whole restaurant to you."
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I just think the food is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life."
The other servants all nodded.
The butler hummed and said softly, "The dishes at Yueying Tower are indeed good, so our princess is thinking of inviting their chef to come and help. When the time comes, it will depend on whether you have the ability to build a good relationship with the chef. Maybe he will even treat you to a few bites."
The servants all sighed. That being said, the vegetables in the palace were limited in number and everything had to be recorded in the account. Even if a chef was hired, he couldn't make more, so they could only think about it.
