Fu Junyi took two more sips of tea and said, "Sugarcane is growing very well this year and will definitely increase production, thanks to the method you wrote down. Once the price of brown sugar stabilizes, white sugar will also be sold again."
"The crops in the fields have increased significantly this year. It's a great year! We finally don't have to worry about food anymore!"
"Yes!" Fu Jun also sighed, "I will go back after the tea shop is open this time. By the way, when will yours open?"
"Bainian Food Court will open the day after tomorrow, and Wanxiang Pavilion the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it if they squeeze in together."
"Okay, then I'll bring some friends over to show my support!"
"Haha, OK. Then I'll leave the Ru Meng Ling on the third floor to you, and I'll also reserve the best table for you! I guarantee you'll be very proud!"
"Even ordinary dishes will surprise them."
"hey-hey……"
Fu Junyi didn't delay her any longer. After chatting for a while, he left and went home to catch up on his sleep.
Lin Wanwan started to get busy again, trying her best to make everything perfect.
She didn't know many people in the capital, but she still asked someone to send invitations to Chen Li, Prime Minister Chen, the old lady, and Zheng Jin, the inspector of the Municipal Trade Department. Although there were few people, she hoped that there would be more individual guests, just hoping that it would not be a dull occasion.
This time she brought four cooks and four apprentices. The small kitchen was used to make pastries. Shuyun and Er Niang each brought three apprentices, and there were six waiters. Sister Yuying was the shopkeeper, and Jinbao helped her to handle various matters. Lin Jiu and the others were watching over the oven in the backyard, and Lin Wanwan was just a brick, moving whatever was needed.
At night they returned to the house, had a good rest, and continued to prepare for battle after waking up.
Everything needs to be prepared today to avoid chaos tomorrow.
The flowers and plants were placed in appropriate positions, the wine was put into the wine cabinet, and a large round table was placed in a prominent place. On it were three layers of smaller round wooden boards stacked on top to place cakes for guests to view and taste.
Lin Wanwan continued to teach them how to make new dishes. There were various kinds of flower cakes, including lotus cake, jujube flower cake and chrysanthemum cake, various glutinous rice cakes, Toutiao cakes, brown sugar rice cakes, donkey rolls, golden balls, etc., as well as red and mung bean ice cream, egg yolk cakes, osmanthus cakes, eight-treasure cakes, pine nut milk cakes, shaqima, peanut cakes, etc.
New dishes have been added, such as spicy crayfish, boiled shrimp, shrimp balls stuffed with lily, Blooming shrimp, steamed mandarin fish, fish leaping over the dragon gate, and chopped pepper fish head; meat dishes include Kung Pao chicken, spicy chicken, mouth-watering duck, stewed lamb, grilled lamb chops; and main dishes include boiled cabbage and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!
The shark fins, fish lips, abalone, sea cucumbers, scallops and other seafood in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were all collected by Lin Jiu and his team in Bianzhou. They signed a contract with the local fishermen and if they caught any, they would buy them all at a high price. They were then slowly saved up, and she usually couldn't bear to eat them.
These two dishes are expensive, so they are priced at 68 and 88 taels of silver. If you buy these two dishes, you will get 18 other exquisite dishes for free, making them the most expensive dishes in Baiweiju, and most suitable for banquets. The main purpose is to attract the attention of wealthy businessmen.
Of course, the other dishes were not particularly expensive, they were just double the price in Yongcheng. The vegetarian dishes were no more than 300 coins, and the meat dishes were no more than one tael of silver. Only the cakes were more expensive, priced at less than eight taels, because sugar was expensive...
She had already written on the sign on the round table that all pastries were made with white sugar and that if they were fake, she would compensate tenfold.
The drinks are more expensive. A pot of ordinary Qingming costs 300 wen, a better Wushuang costs 800 wen, the signature Wuyou costs 2 taels of silver, and the special wine Zuixian, which has just been developed, costs 5 taels of silver. But there are only a few jars, and each table is limited to one pot. Fruit wine and flower wine cost around 3 taels of silver, which are suitable for women who can't drink much.
Everything is ready, just waiting to open tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Lin Wanwan was woken up and began to dress up. She put her hair up with a jade hairpin and just looked clean and tidy.
Today is the opening day, and we specially invited a team of people playing drums and gongs, as well as music. The noise can be heard from several blocks away, attracting people to come and watch.
When the time was almost up, she came out and stood at the door and said loudly, "Today we are opening Baiweiju. All dishes are half price. As long as you come in to eat, you will get exquisite pastries. You may not know much about our Baiweiju, but I believe that as long as you have eaten here once, you will never forget the taste of the food here! Jinbao! Get ready to welcome guests!"
“Crackle…”
Amid the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of the crowd, Baiweiju officially opened for business.
Onlookers swarmed into the shop and looked at the interior decoration.
"You know what, this restaurant is very elegant!"
"It smells so good! Do you smell the food? It's so tempting!"
"Oh my god! Come and look! Is this a pastry? It looks like a real flower!"
"Is this the cake they sent? They look so pretty! They're made with sugar! This Baiweiju is really generous!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Let's find a place to sit down! Waiter, take our order!"
"Waiter! We're ordering food here too!"
Lin Wanwan looked at the lively scene in the lobby and finally felt relieved.
"Miss Lin! Hahaha! Good luck on your grand opening, and may the money flow in!"
She quickly turned around and saw that it was the inspector who had arrived! He seemed to have brought four or five friends with him.
"Master Zheng, you are here! Come in!"
Zheng Jin handed the gift to the waiter and said as he walked, "A few good friends happened to come to see me today, so I brought them along. Miss Lin, please serve us two pots of good wine later!"
"Don't worry, sir. Everything has been arranged! Let the waiter take you to the third floor!"
"Hahaha! Great!"
After a while, Shen Li also came with a few friends. Lin Wanwan looked at them and felt that they looked familiar...
