Chapter 26: First Encounter
Huainan City Center.
Second floor of Feihong Restaurant.
Xiu'er was helping Gu Beichuan study his ink, while Gu Beichuan was at his desk writing furiously.
But he was not writing, but drawing.
Pictures of large containers one after another.
Next to the pictures, various precautions and production requirements were written in wild cursive.
After finishing the drawing, Gu Beichuan pulled out another piece of rice paper and started writing.
【Refined salt production method】
After a while, the paper was filled with pen and ink.
Gu Beichuan pulled out another piece of rice paper and started writing.
【Sucrose production method】
The content this time was particularly complicated. One piece of rice paper was obviously not enough, so Gu Beichuan pulled out another one.
Finally, Gu Beichuan, whose wrist was slightly sore, pulled out a piece of rice paper again and wrote four words.
【How to prepare chicken essence】
Half a quarter of an hour later, Gu Beichuan put down his brush, breathed a long sigh of relief, and began to move his wrist.
Seeing this, Xiu'er also stopped studying the ink and turned to help Gu Beichuan press his shoulders.
The world only knows that the young master can not only make wine, but also understand poetry and poetry. He is truly unparalleled in talent.
But only she, Xiu'er, knows about the young master's hard work
When he was in Jiangnan, although the young master had nothing to do all day long, he was still happy and free.
But since I came to Huainan, the candlelight in the young master's room is always on late at night.
This made Xiu'er feel a little distressed.
In fact, what does it matter whether you can inherit the family business or not?
As long as you live happily, isn't it good to live happily?
This was Xiu'er's idea, but she didn't dare to say it.
Because Uncle Fu was very satisfied with the young master's growth, he often wiped his tears at night and muttered that the young master had grown up and the young lady could smile now.
If she spoke out, she would definitely have to be scolded by Uncle Forbes.
Gu Beichuan enjoyed Xiu'er's massage and couldn't help but close his eyes and began to meditate.
Daqian's condiments are actually quite good, but the preparation process is a little behind.
The most obvious ones are salt and sugar.
Daqian is located in the east of this continent, near the sea.
So table salt is actually sea salt - salt formed by simply drying sea water!
But the ingredients of salt are not only table salt, but also impurities such as gravel, soil, and gravel.
This tastes like, how should I put it... tastes like chewing gum.
But this is still good. Poor people don't even have salt to eat, so they can only eat soup with little water.
That’s why he wanted to make refined salt!
First, it is conducive to the development of restaurants. Refined salt can make dishes taste better, thus attracting more customers, instead of just relying on four kinds of drinks to attract customers.
Every industry under Feihong should have its own characteristics.
If a restaurant can only rely on liquor stores to make a living, it might as well close as soon as possible.
Secondly, it is actually to satisfy my own desires.
It’s been half a month since I traveled back in time, but I still can’t get used to the food.
Although Daqian banned the sale of private salt, Gu Beichuan did not sell salt, he only made refined salt and used it for cooking.
He had already inquired and found out that this was not against the law.
And sugar!
There are only two kinds of sugar in Dagan, honey extracted from honey and maltose.
These two sugars are used for cooking...
It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s just that the effect is hard to describe.
That's why he wanted to make sucrose.
However, the steps for making sucrose are complicated and even require the use of centrifuges.
Therefore, it is not realistic to make perfect sucrose. It can only be prepared initially and can be used.
The last thing is the chicken essence.
The production of this thing is actually relatively simple, all you need is a chicken.
The effect is very good, it is a great tool for making soup!
With these three seasonings, Feihong Restaurant's business will definitely reach a higher level.
By then, the four types of drinks will no longer be the main products of the restaurant, but auxiliary products.
I'm afraid it won't be easy if I just want to make them all.
Some related instruments need to be made of iron, while others can be made of colored glaze.
There is also sugar cane. I don’t know if it is available in Huainan. If not, I will have to buy it from other places.
As for the workshops, it would not be a big problem to free up some space for the two wine shops.
However, before Gu Beichuan could think about it further, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, something happened."
"What's the matter?" Gu Beichuan stood up and welcomed Uncle Fu in.
"A guest came, and his behavior was very strange."
"I suspect that the other party is here to stir up trouble. If I can't make up my mind, I'll come up and ask you, Master."
After understanding the whole thing, Gu Beichuan nodded and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it."
…
The first thing Gu Beichuan saw when he came downstairs was the young man in white. Because of his appearance, he was really easy to identify.
This is also the first time that Gu Beichuan has seen someone prettier than himself since he traveled through time for so long.
However, before he could step forward, he heard the young man in white shout:
"Shopkeeper, wrap up these four bottles of wine for me. I want to take them back to drink."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan frowned immediately.
At Feihong Restaurant, you can pack meals, but you can't pack drinks.
Because there are many people who package the drinks and sell them at a high price.
Feihong must put an end to this phenomenon.
So, Gu Beichuan stepped forward, making his voice as soft as possible, and said:
"This young man, to be honest, I am the owner of this restaurant. It is not convenient for us to pack drinks here."
However, when this sentence fell into the ears of the young master in white, only the first half of it was left.
"I am the owner of this restaurant...the owner...the owner!"
Xiang Zhirou, who had disguised herself as a man and cheated her family, suddenly woke up and was extremely surprised.
It’s not that she doesn’t know where this is, this is Feihong!
It’s a restaurant opened by the original owner of Liuji!
Then the owner of this restaurant is Liu Ji’s owner, isn’t it?
Liu Jidong's family, isn't that...everyone!
But...but aren't we all experienced in the literary world who have gone through many vicissitudes of life?
How could...how could he be so young?
And...and he is so handsome.
Xiang Zhirou's brain completely shut down, and she was stunned for a while, at a loss.
"Master? Master? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"
Gu Beichuan's magnetic voice rang in her ears, and Xiang Zhirou came back to her senses.
After realizing his gaffe, two wisps of red immediately flew to his cheeks.
"You...you are the owner of this restaurant? But your name is Gu Beichuan?"
"Exactly. Is it possible that the young master knows me?"
The maid Xiaohong on the side was also very surprised, thinking to herself, is it possible that the young lady really knows Mr. Gu? Otherwise, why would she be so flustered when they met?
"No... I've never seen it, but I've heard Mr. Gu's "Journey into the Wine", and I've long admired his name."
"I was so excited to see you today that I lost my bearings. I hope Mr. Gu will forgive me." Xiang Zhirou was quick to think and resolved the situation perfectly.
"That's it." Gu Beichuan no longer doubted.
Chapter completed!
