The feedback on the energy eggs was surprisingly good. Everyone said that they were less fishy than ordinary eggs and tasted good when cooked in stir-fries.
After she told Yan Jintang that she would sell the eggs to Sui Tang, she didn't expect that Sui Tang's manager Li Xifu would visit the base the next day.
Even Song Qi was amazed at Yan Jintang's high efficiency after hearing about it.
The eggs produced at the base are now sold entirely by the farmers themselves. Whether it's because of a conscious effort or something else, the business at the restaurant is much better than before.
Because it is on the same street as Jingfeng, Suitang's business was actually not as good as Jingfeng's. Since Jingfeng closed down, it was the only mid- to high-end restaurant left on the street, and other diners moved to Suitang for consumption.
Li Xifu also recruited the former head chef of Jingfeng, a native of Shunde, Guangdong Province. He was an expert Cantonese chef and even had a deep understanding of Huaiyang and Fujian cuisines. He completely revamped the restaurant's menu, and business was booming.
Every time Ling Ju passed by Suitang, four words would appear in his mind: 'crowded'.
The place was filled with people.
She became more and more convinced that Yan Jintang got into Sun Yun's car last time just to consult about business matters, and Sun Yun must have given him some advice.
This includes poaching the chef who has worked in Jingfeng for many years. It may have been Sun Yun's idea.
Before the Qingming Festival, Song Qi received a top-secret mission and went to the south.
He left without even saying hello.
Ling Ju got the news through Song Zhiguo.
Although Song Zhiguo showed no expression on the surface, she felt that this mission was too sudden. She always had a bad premonition.
When Song Xin got into trouble before, she was worried for a while beforehand, and this time was the same.
She just hoped that she was overthinking it and didn't want anything to happen at all.
Two days after Song Qi left, she was in a bad mood and had no energy to do anything. It wasn't until Zhen Zhen noticed that something was wrong with her and said that the store was not busy for the next two days and they should go out for a walk to relax that she left.
After the two of them went out, they walked east along Houhai and soon arrived at Jingfeng's door.
Unexpectedly, Jingfeng was open again today. From a distance, the two saw firecrackers being set off at the entrance of Jingfeng.
"Juzi, this big restaurant is open! It was closed before."
Ling Ju nodded, "Let's go and take a look."
When the two of them walked a little closer to the other side of the street, they saw the two middle-aged men who had pleaded for Zhao Yanxiang last time.
Jingfeng has reopened for business, and it seems that it has invited many "diignites" to visit.
Ling Ju knocked carefully. There were only a few cars around. Almost all the people standing at the door were service staff. There were banners and decorations. There were only a few guests. It was estimated that even five or six tables could not be filled.
However, Ling Ju knew that those people from the Zhao family must have fallen into Yan Jintang's trap.
To organize such a big event and recruit so many employees, I don’t think it would be possible without at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Ten thousand yuan now is worth hundreds of thousands or millions in the future.
After all, the average salary now is only 20 or 30 yuan.
The firecrackers were quite loud and attracted many passers-by to watch.
However, ordinary people cannot afford restaurants like Jingfeng, and only the powerful and wealthy can come.
In addition to wealthy families like the Yan and Song families, there are also many "palace kuan food and drink".
Ling Ju knew that during this era, imperial feasting and drinking were commonplace. Hadn't the later generations only begun cracking down on corruption and public spending after the Beijing Olympics? But now, almost no one cared about it.
Ling Ju carefully looked at the people who came to eat. No one looked familiar to him. He probably didn't have any dealings with the Yan and Song families, otherwise they would know some inside information. It was impossible for them to come here to eat.
"Let's go, Zhen Zhen, let's continue strolling." Just as the two were about to leave, Ling Ju noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhao Yanxiang from across the street was looking at them.
Ling Ju felt a resentful gaze.
She looked back and found that Zhao Yanxiang had a smile on her face again, and then she finished greeting the guests and walked over.
Zhao Yanxiang had a fake smile on her face, and her hairstyle was still meticulous, as if it was not her who was beaten by Tian Mei last time.
"Miss Ling! Long time no see! How are you doing recently?"
Ling Ju admired Zhao Yanxiang's ability to change her expression. The last time she went to her house and caused trouble, it was quite ugly. "That's great! Jingfeng is back in business! Congratulations."
"Yes, Miss Ling, did you hear about this and come here to watch the fun? Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have lunch? The last time Miss Ling came to eat, it was obvious that she really liked our Jingfeng cuisine."
Ling Ju smiled faintly, "Thank you, I had lunch at home. I ate too much, so I came out for a walk to help digest it."
"Oh, is that so? Then I won't bother you, Miss Ling. You guys can continue walking. I have a lot of guests here, so I'll go back and entertain them first. Come over for dinner when you have time. It's my treat! See you later."
Ling Ju nodded and left with Zhen Zhen first.
Zhao Yanxiang kept staring at them from behind. Ling Ju found it funny. "There are only two guests and they say there are too many guests. No one else can be so absurd."
Zhen Zhen looked back and found that Zhao Yanxiang had already gone back. "Juzi, you had some unpleasantness with them when you came here before, right? I heard from Brother Chen that the owner of Jingfeng wants to buy our store?"
"Yes, I didn't want to sell it, and he threatened me."
"Is this the woman?"
"No, it's her husband. But I heard that her husband got into big trouble and was detained by the government. That's why Jingfeng closed down before the Chinese New Year. It should have been the busiest time for business, but it's been closed until today."
Zhen Zhen looked at a restaurant as big as Jingfeng and felt it was a pity. "It took so long, I guess they lost a lot of money. The chefs and wait staff in the restaurant all have to pay."
Ling Ju saw that she was about to be brought into Jingfeng's finance department, and said, "I'm telling you something. The head chef of Jingfeng is now in Suitang. Not long after Jingfeng closed down, the employees dispersed. They went home for the New Year and probably won't come back. Those who can leave have left. I guess they haven't even been paid yet."
"Oh my god, it won't be easy for them to find new chefs and waiters! Especially the chefs. If the dishes are not good, wouldn't that ruin their reputation? It would be great if Chuan Xiaoxiang could open a three-story hot pot restaurant with such a big store! That way we don't have to walk so far to eat. There's one about ten minutes away from our house."
After Zhen Zhen finished speaking, Ling Ju suddenly felt that these words touched her heart!
Open a Sichuan Xiaoxiang restaurant? Sure! Why not!
No, once Jingfeng is in her hands, she has to think carefully about it!
The two walked around and were about to go home when they saw a familiar figure in front of a middle school.
Ling Ju looked closely and saw that it was Zheng Zong's daughter Zheng Yao and Zheng Yaozu who were talking. Both of them had bad expressions, as if they were arguing.
What day is it today? You come here to show your presence, right?
