Chapter 148 Braised Food Shop
As for another shop, Wei Ruo plans to open a braised food shop.
Wei Ruo has observed that there are no good delicatessens nearby, and people in Fucheng have a certain pursuit of delicious food. As long as the food tastes good and the price is higher, it can sell well.
Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, you don't plan to let me take care of the braised food shop, right?"
Then Xiumei muttered: "Miss, I would be happy to be the boss's wife, but if I take over the job, who will take care of you?" ? Miss, I can't leave you. What if you get bullied if I leave you? I won't be able to rest assured!" "I can't bear to
let you be the boss of the braised food shop, but you still have to help me in the beginning. After we have trained good workers, we only need to master the recipe of braised food, and the work of making braised food is naturally left to the staff." The key to
good braised food lies in the braised food, and good braised food cannot be separated from good sauce. Wei Ruo has good sauces, good seasonings, and good braised food recipes.
"That's good. It's okay to be busy for a while. As long as you don't leave me in the store all the time, miss!"
Xiumei wanted to stay with Wei Ruo and take care of her more than being the boss's wife.
"I'm not willing to let you go. I don't want to let you go if you want to go! Unless you get married in the future, I won't allow you to go anywhere else!" Wei Ruodao.
"Who wants to get married? I don't want to get married! I will stay with the lady for the rest of my life!" "
Okay, okay, as long as you still have this idea in the future, then we will be singles together for the rest of our lives." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
Then Wei Ruo took Xiumei back to the carriage: "Let's go and make preparations. We are busy."
The two returned to Tianqin Garden together, and then Wei Ruo arranged things.
It was still the same as before. Wei Ruo did not personally take part in the matters of buying and selling shops and preparing for the opening of the shops, but left them all to Xu Zhushan.
Then Wei Ruo and Xiumei borrowed the kitchen from the cook of Tianqinyuan.
The cooks in Tianqinyuan didn't dare to let Wei Ruo use it at first, not because they were afraid that she would use it badly, but because Wei Ruo was their wife's distinguished guest and they didn't dare to neglect it.
If the lady knows that the guests prepare their own food and their kitchen has failed to fulfill their responsibilities, they will not be able to eat and walk around.
It wasn't until Wei Ruo explained that they had something to do, not to cook for themselves, that the kitchen agreed.
The kitchen in Tianqinyuan is very large, several times larger than the kitchen in Xiaowei Mansion. It has a much more complete range of kitchen utensils and seasonings than the kitchen in Xiaowei Mansion.
This made Wei Ruo and Xiumei overjoyed and saved them the trouble of going out to buy various seasonings.
So the two of them dived into the kitchen and started studying braised food.
After two days of busy work, Wei Ruo and Xiumei worked together to prepare a stew that satisfied both of them.
"Miss, if you use this stew to cook braised meat, it will definitely be a hit!" Xiumei said with confidence.
"Let's braise some pig ears and tails first," Wei Ruodao said.
People in this area don't eat pig intestines and belly very much, but they still eat pig heads and tails.
These parts are relatively cheap and low-cost, and the taste of these parts is no worse than other parts when marinated.
"Yeah!" Xiumei entered the kitchen excitedly carrying the pottery basin with the prepared marinade.
The time for making braised meat must be enough, and it will definitely not work if the time is short, so simmer it at night and wait until the next morning to serve it out, so that it will be delicious.
Wei Ruo first took some of the prepared braised meat to the cook and maid in the kitchen. They had been watching them for several days, always curious about what the master and servant were doing. "It smells so good! Miss Wei, what is this? How do you make it so delicious?"
The taste buds of the cook who has been cooking all her life were immediately overwhelmed by the chopped pig ears.
"These are pig ears." Wei Ruo replied.
"Pig ears? Why are pig ears so delicious? They are fragrant and crispy. It has the aroma of meat and a crispy texture that meat does not have. It has rich taste and endless aftertaste." The cook commented.
In the impression of the Tianqinyuan cook, pig ears are not a high-end ingredient, and the taste is always unsatisfactory, but the meat she just ate was more fragrant than the meat she usually eats.
"There are some pig tails here, you can try them too."
Wei Ruo let everyone try the pig tails again, which also received unanimous praise.
Then Wei Ruo packed some pig ears and pig tails in a food box and asked Xiumei to deliver them to Mrs. Yuan in the prefecture.
An hour later, Xiumei came back and said to Wei Ruo excitedly: "Miss, Mrs. Yuan said that the braised meat we made is very delicious. She wants to ask us for some more to use when entertaining guests tomorrow." "Then
. Just prepare more, this is a good publicity opportunity." Wei Ruodao.
"Well, I'm going to do it now!" Xiumei was in high spirits, with excitement on her face.
This time Xiumei cooked two more things, pig's trotters and pig's tongue. Then he personally sent it to the magistrate's office to Mrs. Yuan early the next morning.
That night, Mrs. Yuan asked her maid to bring a message to Wei Ruo, saying that the two ladies she had entertained today liked their braised pork very much after eating it, and asked her where to buy it. Mrs. Yuan immediately told Wei Ruo that it was about to open in the city. I told the other party about a Xu Ji Braised Meat restaurant, and the other party said that he must go and buy more when it opens.
The braised food shop hasn't officially opened yet, but there are already customers, which is a good sign.
###
While Wei Ruo was busy buying land and hiring people to open a shop, the He family came to Xiaowei's mansion after receiving the letter.
Coming were Wei Ruo's adoptive father He Zhang, adoptive mother Mrs. He, and sister He Miao'er.
At first, the people in the Xiaowei Mansion did not intend to inform the Yun family, but when they heard that the other party had brought medicinal materials that were urgently needed in Xingshan County, the servants in the Xiaowei Mansion went to notify the Yun family.
After learning about it, Mrs. Yun asked her servants to invite the He family in.
Although Yunshi didn't want to have too much contact with this family, the other party sent them two carts of medicinal materials. Out of courtesy, Yunshi still allowed the family to live in the house.
Afterwards, Wei Qingwan was also dragged to meet with the He family.
Seeing the three people of the He family with flattering smiles, Wei Qingwan felt uncomfortable all over.
She had been taught since she was a child that businessmen were the lowest of the low and the least able to stand on the stage. From the bottom of her heart, she did not want to be associated with such people.
"Sister, I am Miao'er, your sister!" He Miao'er took the initiative and called Wei Qingwan "sister" very enthusiastically.
Wei Qingwan took two steps back, trying to distance himself from He Miao'er.
But He Miaoer seemed not to feel her resistance and alienation, and always smiled with enthusiasm on her face:
"Sister, I finally met you. After I knew that you were my sister, I have always wanted to see you. Now I finally see you in person, you are even more beautiful than I thought!"
