Chapter 88: Be a Good Person
Zhang Yongchang escorted Zhuang Qingning out of the backyard before returning to the kitchen and shouting at Lian Rong: "Quick, prepare some big bones so I can try them right now and see how they turn out."
It's not easy to get the prescription, so there's no reason to keep it aside.
Whatever you do, you must do it as soon as you say it. It is better to do it early rather than late.
Zhang Yongchang really doesn't like to put things off.
Although Lian Rong was busy on the side, he also heard the conversation between Zhang Yongchang and Zhuang Qingning and understood what was going on. When he heard that Zhang Yongchang wanted a big bone, he readily agreed and hurried to buy it.
Happy and joyful.
After all, as Zhang Yongchang's apprentice, he is happy if Zhang Yongchang is happy.
Not to mention, Zhuang Qingning is really a person who knows how to behave. She was told before that Zhang Yongchang has no other hobbies but is obsessed with cooking. So Zhuang Qingning got the recipe for braised pork ribs today, and seeing Zhang Yongchang's successful look, she knew that the recipe must be good.
I don’t know how Zhuang Qingning got this recipe, it might be much more valuable than these twelve taels of silver.
If that's the case, Zhuang Qingning is a person who knows how to repay kindness and knows who to be nice to and how nice to be. This kind of person is worth associating with and is worthy of associating with.
"What are you doing?" Feng Yongkang went to the backyard and saw Lian Rong's grinning face almost reaching his ears. He was quite puzzled: "Why are you so happy?"
"Shopkeeper." Lian Rong stopped and greeted him. "No wonder I'm so happy. It's because Miss Zhuang just sent Master a recipe for a dish. Master asked me to prepare some big bones to try to cook it. I saw that Master was very happy, so I was happy too."
"Oh?" Feng Yongkang was slightly stunned, then he laughed: "What kind of recipe would make your master happy?"
"I don't know about this either. Shopkeeper, you have to ask Master. Anyway, Master is very happy. I guess it should be a good prescription."
Lian Rong grinned and said, "Boss, I'm going to go prepare some big bones for Master first. Master looks like he needs them urgently."
He dared not delay Zhang Yongchang's order.
"Okay, then go and get busy." Feng Yongkang nodded, then walked into the kitchen.
He was also curious about what kind of recipe it was, whether it was good, and whether it could be used in Fushun Building in the future?
After all, if Fu Shun Lou can use the recipe that can make Zhang Yongchang happy, it will definitely be able to make more money in the future.
Feng Yongkang thought so and walked up to Zhang Yongchang: "Brother, are you busy?"
"Boss, you've come just in time."
Zhang Yongchang excitedly pulled Feng Yongkang and said, "Just now, Miss Ning gave me a recipe for braised pork ribs. This recipe looks great. I just asked Lian Rong to get some pork ribs so I can try it. If it tastes good, I plan to serve this dish again in our Fushunlou."
Feng Yongkang was still thinking about how to ask about the prescription and was feeling hesitant.
After all, if Zhang Yongchang didn't plan to give it to Fushunlou, if he asked rashly, it might affect the relationship between the two of them, and they would have trouble getting along in the future.
Before he could open his mouth to ask, Zhang Yongchang spoke first and said directly that he would use the resources in Fushun Building in the future, which made Feng Yongkang happy.
Especially this dish is braised pork ribs.
The braised pork ribs in sauce that Zhang Yongchang had made previously tasted quite good, and many customers liked this dish. It was also low-cost, and because it was a meat dish it could be sold at a high price, and Feng Yongkang also liked this dish very much.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yongkang kept saying that the taste of this dish was not right and insisted on removing it. Even Feng Yongkang's persuasion for a long time failed to keep it. In the end, they had no choice but to follow Zhang Yongchang's suggestion and remove it from the menu.
Now that this dish can be served again and tastes even better than before, Feng Yongkang is naturally very happy.
"That would be great."
Feng Yongkang said with a smile: "It seems that our Fushunlou will have another famous signature dish from now on."
"I guess this will be the best-selling dish in the future." Zhang Yongchang said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Ning's generosity. She was willing to give me the recipe left by her parents."
Since Zhang Yongchang was praising Zhuang Qingning, Feng Yongkang was very happy at the moment, and he thought it would be okay to say a few more nice words, so he just smiled and said, "That's all thanks to Miss Zhuang. If this dish sells well, I have to thank Miss Zhuang."
"Boss, you have the same idea as me. I was thinking that since the recipe of this dish came from Miss Ning, then 10% of the profit from this dish made by our Fushun Building should be given to Miss Ning as a token of gratitude. What do you think, boss?" Zhang Yongchang said with a smile.
Feng Yongkang's smiling face suddenly froze.
The thank you he mentioned was nothing more than bringing two bags of snacks, or at most buying two boxes of rouge and powder that every girl liked, and saying some polite words at the door, or he could specially invite Zhuang Qingning to Fushun Building and treat her well.
It was definitely not like what Zhang Yongchang said, that he gave her the money directly from the sale proceeds.
If this pot of braised pork ribs is sold at ten cents per portion, then one tenth of it is one cent. If the restaurant sells a certain number of portions in a day, that amount of money will be given to Zhuang Qingning.
What about this month, this year? Zhuang Qingning did nothing, so is he going to give away several taels of silver for nothing?
How much money did he make in a year? After deducting the various labor and food costs, the net profit was no more than 40% of the total income. She came up and asked for 10% of a dish. Why? After all this time, he, the shopkeeper of Fushunlou, turned out to be working for Zhuang Qingning and making money for her?
Feng Yongkang was naturally unhappy.
This is much more expensive than buying a recipe.
"Is the shopkeeper unhappy?" Zhang Yongchang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Feng Yongkang's unhappy expression.
"Brother, this is not a trivial matter. First of all, it is impossible to remember the dishes so clearly every time. I am afraid there is no number of large and small portions sold every day. It is difficult to calculate clearly."
"Besides, we at Fushun Building have never talked about renting out houses. If this is set as a precedent, it will be difficult to handle in the future. Brother really wants to express his gratitude to Miss Zhuang. At most, a lump sum of money is fine."
Feng Yongkang said.
Deep down, I felt even more unhappy.
No matter what, Zhang Yongchang is still the chef of Fu Shun Lou, and they have been friends for many years. Logically, he should side with Fu Shun Lou and consider Fu Shun Lou no matter what happens.
