Chapter 172
172. Preparing a hot pot restaurant (second update)
Grandma Zheng looked at the smile in Yun Guinuan's eyes, and a chill suddenly ran down her back. Those clear and bright eyes seemed to tell her that she had seen through everything.
"Miss, you are worrying too much." Grandma Zheng lowered her head for a moment and lowered her voice, "It is entirely up to the lady to decide what to do with the family. I am just here to treat the lady to dinner."
Grandma Zheng lowered her eyes and quietly gave Guo Li a look.
She was defeated.
Yun Guinuan put away her hand holding Guo Li's arm: "Grandma Zheng treats me very well, I really have to take her face into consideration."
Guo Li quickly stood up and straightened his legs. He had just stood with his knees bent for a long time. His legs were sore and they were shaking.
"It all depends on the lady's orders." He arched his back and lowered his posture to the lowest level.
What he said just now shows that he has a chance to stay.
Yun Guinuan put down her legs, held Ranbao in her arms, and planted her feet firmly on the ground: "I'll give you one last chance. By the end of this month, show your determination and loyalty, or get out next month."
"Oh, ah, that one." Yun Guinuan hesitated and coughed lightly, "I want to give that set away. This time I asked you for a new set. I plan to take it to Yan Caiwei and put it on her
Here comes the hairdressing ceremony."
After the training, Liu Datou was asked to prepare the bottom of the pot and finally had an authentic hot pot meal.
For several days in a row, Yun Guinuan became even busier. Happy Doudou expanded its stores and varieties, and its business went to a higher level than before. Customized hot pots were also obtained. Wu Spicy Bu Huan's newly launched hot pot was very popular in the capital. Yun
Guinuan quickly placed a new batch of orders to ensure that every table could eat hot pot and have enough pots in reserve.
He has been talking about hot pot restaurants for a long time, and he hasn't had a good meal in the past two days.
"The materials and processes used to make a copper pot are more complicated than expected, and Miss Yun uses the best materials, so the price has to go up."
If you say this, no one will ask any more questions.
"This is the authentic hot pot. This is the right way to eat it." Yun Guinuan heated the vegetables in the pot.
Guo Li and Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and were able to stay again. "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness."
This is a frustrating question.
Xue Chijiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, no problem. Hey, I remember Miss Yun has a set in her hand. Isn't this set enough?"
Xue Chijiu smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, this is the first set of jade carvings. It has special significance. Miss Yun can give it to whoever she wants. I don't ask, I don't ask, just eat the food."
"Forty taels."
Chen Guang touched his head and smiled shyly: "Thank you, Miss Yun. Craftsmen rely on this skill to make a living."
Yun Guinuan took a breath: "It can actually rise so much."
Yun Guinuan nodded: "Let me show you the pot first. Actually, I have another thing to do. Let's not talk about the hot pot restaurant. I need a complete set of jade carvings."
"I will order twenty of the first batch. When can I pick it up?" After seeing Chen Guang's craftsmanship, Yun Guinuan decided to increase the quantity of the first batch.
After breakfast, she went out early to Wu La Bu Huan. After withdrawing 50,000 taels of silver, she went straight to Chen Guang's shop.
Yun Guinuan looked at him.
Chen Guang scratched his head: "Young Master Xue can't come in person."
Especially when the other party looked embarrassed and embarrassed to increase the price, she didn't know how to bargain.
Xue Chijiu raised his eyebrows: "So that set has been given away. Who did Miss Yun give it to?"
Guo Li and Zhou Yi quickly retreated.
Chen Guang rubbed his head in embarrassment: "I didn't charge you more money, Miss Yun. If Miss Yun thinks the price is not appropriate, forget it. You can take this pot back. You were introduced by Mr. Xue, so there will be no extra charge."
It’s your money.”
Yun Guinuan raised her chin and said, "Go back."
She gave the banknote to Chen Guang.
"As expected of Xue Chijiu's favorite person, the master's skills are excellent, and he probably wouldn't be able to pick anyone else in the capital."
Yun Guinuan brought the copper pot back to Wulaibuhuan, cleaned it, and trained the cook and apprentices. In the future, she would add hotpots to the store, and the people in the store would know how to operate it.
"Can't we go a little further for the sake of Xue Chijiu?" Yun Guinuan is not good at bargaining.
Yun Guinuan put down the Ranbao, stood up, and his eyes fell on Grandma Zheng: "I'm going to eat, and the Ranbao will be left to you."
Today is the agreed day for the copper pot to be taken out of the mold.
Xue Chijiu saw such a copper pot for the first time and found it extremely novel: "How did Miss Yun think of such a way of eating? I have never seen it in the capital before, nor in other places in Dongling."
You're not trying to trick her.
Yun Guinuan had a meal and thought of an excuse: "It's not winter anymore. I want to eat something hot at any time. It's an instinctive trend and inspiration bursts."
"Okay, let's talk about the hot pot restaurant first." Yun Guinuan said, "The manufacturing process of this kind of copper pot is quite complicated. If it is a specialized hot pot restaurant, we can make a relatively simple copper pot and put it on the dining table.
Make a fuss and reduce costs."
He hesitated.
Yun Guinuan looked at Xue Chijiu's gossipy face and twitched her eyebrows: "Who do you think I will give it to?"
"Okay." Yun Guinuan compromised, "Forty taels for one, and another twenty for a total of eight hundred taels. This is a deposit of five hundred taels. If necessary, I will place additional orders."
Xue Chijiu’s face is so easy to use.
"What's the final price?"
Yun Guinuan was wondering whether it would be bad if the jade carving ornaments that were given to Xiao Huaiyu appeared again at Yan Caiwei's hairpin ceremony. Although they were not the same set, the ornaments were exactly the same.
Chen Guang accepted it without counting: "Okay, I'll do it for you immediately. Thank you for taking care of the business."
After returning to the Hou Mansion after a busy day, a little warm yellow light under the eaves and Ran Bao warmly welcomed her back, soothing her from the fatigue of the day.
Yun Guinuan has a lot on his hands recently.
At the end of the month, the sun was just right at noon, so Yun Guinuan handed over Xue Chi's wine to his house and ate hot pot.
Yun Guinuan carefully looked at the copper pot placed on the table. He was very satisfied with both the workmanship and the size.
Xue Chijiu felt that what Yun Guinuan said made sense: "Ms. Yun called me here today. Does she plan to discuss opening a hotpot restaurant with me?"
Chen Guangdao: "There is already a model for reference. I will take my apprentice to make it together. It can be shipped in six days, but..."
He didn't eat any meat and looked at Yun Guinuan with expectant eyes.
Yun Guinuan could understand that in addition to the pot body, her copper pot also had a charcoal-burning stove. The two parts were merged together, which was indeed difficult to make.
A copper pot cost forty taels a piece, and it would cost a thousand taels to make a few hundred pots. Moreover, the process was slow, and she was worried that she would not be able to make it in time for the hot pot season.
"We just dig a hole of a suitable size on the table, put the stove under the table, and then just put the pot on the stove when the guests come." Yun Guinuan made two gestures.
Xue Chijiu had already made up a rough image in his mind.
"I know the carpenter."
