Bafang Restaurant recently launched several new iced drinks that are popular with people of all ages. People with a taste for the finer things in life are already lining up to take them home as gifts for their elders.
Eating this iced drink on a day like this is so refreshing! And the price is so cheap, it's simply heavenly!
The iced drinks at Bafang Restaurant were clearly priced at twenty copper coins a bowl, something anyone could afford. Jiang Shan initially thought five copper coins was already outrageous, but Zheng Wu told her that she was disrupting the market and warned her to be careful the ice cream shop owner might punch her in the back!
In order to recover her health as soon as possible, Jiang Shan rarely cooked after giving birth. She would occasionally bake some cakes and make some drinks to satisfy her cravings, but she didn't put much thought into what to eat or drink.
However, some things have now gone beyond her control and plans. She can't pretend they didn't happen. She has to use the influence of the person behind her to create a favorable situation for herself and also to attract some customers to Jiang's Private Kitchen.
A few days before the opening of Jiang's Private Kitchen, Jiangshan issued a limited batch of coupons. During the opening month of Jiang's Private Kitchen, all customers who dine in the restaurant can receive a free bowl of iced drink by presenting the coupon!
and!
The coupons have so many different kinds of iced drinks! Summer-themed drinks, mango pomelo sago, fruit tea, colorful world, bubble tea... my eyes are spinning!
However, a single serving of iced drink costs five coins more than at Bafang Restaurant!
A bowl of iced drink costs twenty-five coins, enough to buy a private dish!
It's really expensive!
But they gave it away for free!
If you go to the store and spend only ten coins on a serving of seafood in broth, they will give you a free bowl of iced drink worth twenty-five coins!
Such a great deal, only a fool wouldn't take advantage of it!
The coupons were gone in two days, and those who were too slow and missed out are kicking themselves.
When Wang Siniang and Xue Zhen were distributing coupons, they made it very clear that the quantity was limited and that it was available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Those who missed out craned their necks and peered inside from the entrance of Jiang's Private Kitchen. Unfortunately, the counters inside were spotless, and the shelves were empty, with only a few staff members wiping every nook and cranny of the shelves.
"We'll be open in three days, so everyone come early, or there won't even be any soup left!" Jiang Shan smiled like a fox.
The day before the shop opened, Fu Wen returned. As soon as Jiang Shan saw him, he told him to drive to the seaside to pick up goods, as the Qiao family father and son had already gone to the county town to purchase them.
Several of the shop assistants sent by Zheng Wu were taken away by the Qiao family father and son. Two were left to help in the shop, while the rest were all taken away by Fu Wen.
Even Fu Shu was sent by Fu Qiyuan to the Jiao residence to help.
Jiao's mother and Xi'er stayed at the Jiao residence to take care of the children, while Steward Zhou and several servants went to the shop to help.
When Fu Shu arrived, Jiao's mother grabbed him and said anxiously, "Good boy, you've come at the right time. Take these things to Shan'er; she's used to them!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Fu Shu quickly grabbed the things and ran off.
Seafood, chicken, duck, fish and meat all need to be processed with live, jumping raw materials. The first few steps are handled by dedicated personnel. The Qiao family father and son and Fu Wen only need to check whether the materials are fresh and whether they are short-weight. After they are transported to the shop, the kitchen helpers are responsible for cutting them into small pieces and then cleaning them.
Chef Ding, the head chef of Jiangshan and Jiang's Private Kitchen, is in charge of the most crucial parts of stewing, boiling, frying, and marinating various dishes in the back kitchen, while Xue Zhen is in charge of preparing side dishes.
Chef Ding has been working with Jiang Shan for two days and is now used to her way of doing things.
This young female manager is bold, meticulous, and taciturn; she is decisive and efficient. Most importantly, she doesn't hold back her knowledge!
Based on this alone, even though he had decades of experience as a chef, he dared not look down on her and respected her from the bottom of his heart.
"Master Ding, these seafoods caught from the deep sea must be refrigerated while they are still fresh to maintain their crisp texture. The seasonings should only be the simplest three flavors: umami, saltiness, and spiciness. The original flavor of the ingredients is the freshest. A moderate amount of saltiness can enrich its taste, and spiciness can remove the coldness of the seafood itself. This is recommended for people with weak spleen."
Chef Ding nodded repeatedly, listening intently.
"When stewing this mutton, don't add salt at the beginning. Add salt only when it's almost done cooking. This will preserve the mutton's unique freshness and aroma to the maximum extent... What's this called again? Is it for removing the gamey smell?"
Jiang Shan inexplicably changed the subject, and Chef Ding stared at her blankly, not reacting.
It wasn't until Jiang Shan picked up a spice that looked like a leaf and started smelling and biting it that Chef Ding realized she really didn't know.
...Chef Ding paused for a moment, then said very seriously, "These are lotus leaves. They can be dried, chopped, and used to make soup or stew meat. They can enhance the aroma, remove the fishy smell, and reduce internal heat."
...Lotus leaf!
This time, it was Jiang Shan's turn to remain silent.
Seeing the slight embarrassment on Jiang Shan's face, Chef Ding grinned. So this young manager isn't all-knowing after all, huh?
That evening, the Jiang Family Private Kitchen was brightly lit. Jiang Shan was going to treat all the chefs and staff who had come to help to a meal together, regardless of gender or whether they were masters or servants!
In the future, this will be their main battlefield. As the marshal, she must stabilize the morale of the troops and boost their spirits to welcome guests from all directions!
Jiang Shan personally cooked a full table of his private dishes, which took a whole hour to prepare, making the staff's mouths water with the aroma.
However, just as Jiang Shan picked up his chopsticks, Fu Qiyuan pushed open the door and entered, carrying the wailing Jiang Huai.
Jiao's mother's shouting came from outside the door, "Feed your son first! Huai'er has been crying all day and is still hungry!"
Oh dear! Jiang Shan took his son with a pained expression, turned around and walked towards the backyard, not even glancing at the others.
Everyone stepped forward to greet them. The waiter had already added two chairs, and Xue Zhen helped Jiao's mother sit down. Standing beside her, she smiled and said, "Auntie, you must be exhausted today. Don't blame the owner. She's been busy all day to ensure the shop can open smoothly tomorrow, and she even cooked two tables full of dishes for us herself!"
"Lord Fu, please take a seat!" Chef Ding came over and invited Fu Qiyuan to sit down.
Although Jiao's mother felt sorry for her grandson who had gone hungry all day, she understood their current situation. She said to the servants in the house, "Bring Shan'er a bowl of hot soup, don't let her go hungry!"
Fu Qiyuan's arrival made everyone a little reserved. Although everyone knew that the magistrate was Jiao's mother's adopted son, they still felt that the chair was too hot for them to sit on.
Fu Qiyuan picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said with a smile, "There is no county magistrate here, only the adopted son of the Jiao family. I thank you all for your great help to Jiang's Private Kitchen. I am deeply grateful and will toast you all!"
The magistrate's approachable policy instantly transformed the atmosphere, even emboldening the servants to step forward and offer him a toast. Fu Qiyuan accepted all the toasts, earning Jiang Shan considerable goodwill and gaining a loyal following of supporters from within the household.
