Shen Yue remembered that it was yesterday's promotion reward. She stopped and took out the map rolled up with the needle bag.
The red route marked on the map is particularly obvious. It seems that this route is the closest.
The small green circle at the bottom should be where they are now. According to the route, they can reach Suyuanzhai in less than a hundred meters through the small alley on the right.
This is much closer than taking the official route.
Knowing this route, Shen Yue immediately convinced Luo Mu, and the two of them crossed the alley and onto the official road in less than half a quarter of an hour.
This is more than twice as fast as taking the official route directly.
When we arrived at Suyuanzhai, a lot of people had gathered in front of the store. It was very lively and they were discussing the new dishes launched by Suyuanzhai today.
"Have you heard? After taking the whitening and beauty care series for half a month, even people with naturally dark skin can glow white."
"No, there is also the dehumidifying one. I heard that if you take it to dehumidify, it will also help you lose weight."
"Yes, yes, my aunt from far away is now fifty-six. This is how she eats in the capital. Her little face is as delicate as a girl's icy skin."
As soon as he said this, the crowd became even more excited and rushed to Suyuan Zhai.
Shen Yue's forehead twitched. Isn't this distant aunt just a trustee?
She's fifty-six and still looks like a girl with icy skin?
Luo's mother was a little worried about Shen Yue, "There are many people today, otherwise my mother will stop selling Luozi and go with you."
"It's okay, Mom. I'm just going to cook. It'll be fine. Mom, just go ahead and do your own thing." Shen Yue patted Luo's mother's hand to express her comfort.
Yesterday when she came to Suyuanzhai, there were not so many customers, but today so many people gathered, and there were even leaders in the crowd.
Shen Yue thought carefully and realized that this must be Cui Sheng's handiwork, so she was not worried about what would happen.
Moreover, she is now full of internal energy. Even if there is anything, she still has the ability to protect herself.
Luo Mu was still a little hesitant. Yesterday, the people from the embroidery workshop said that new styles had arrived in the capital, and today they would teach a group of patterns for free to their long-term collaborators.
The price of recycling new patterns is several times higher than ordinary ones, which makes people excited.
But Yue'er, a little girl, was really worried about going to a place with so many people.
Shen Yue tried to comfort her, saying that she was already such an old person, so it would be fine.
In the end, Luo Mu couldn't resist Shen Yue's insistence, so she decided to go to the embroidery workshop first.
The two agreed that if Shen Yue finished her work first, she would go to Zhenxi to find Luo Mu, and if Luo Mu finished her studies first, she would come to Suyuanzhai.
Mother Luo was worried and warned her a few more times, then turned and left.
After watching Luo Mu leave, Shen Yue stepped into Suyuan Zhai.
Suyuan Zhaili.
The guys kept their feet on the ground, carrying tea and water up and down one by one, with smiles on their faces.
"Shopkeeper, the customer in box number two has asked for food, should we serve it or not?"
"What the hell, are you going to do it? Let Xiao Xia cut a fruit plate and stabilize the guests first." Cui Yuan waved his hand impatiently and dismissed the waiter.
Cui Yuan was sweating profusely at the counter. The sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his collar was soaked with sweat. He kept pacing and looking towards the door, fearing that he would miss Shen Yue's figure.
The second master didn't come, and there were so many people waiting to be seated outside that he didn't dare to receive them.
Now the people sitting here are all the wives of the Cui family who don’t want to offend. They are asking for a new herbal cuisine. How can I ask him to serve it?
Cui Yuan paced back and forth anxiously. He was a domestic slave of the Cui Mansion and always obeyed the Second Young Master's orders.
Although I didn't agree with the second young master for entrusting the management of the huge Suyuanzhai to a half-year-old girl, I didn't dare to disobey easily. I could only pray that the second master would come back quickly to take charge of the situation.
Cui Yuan was anxious, and the abacus in his hand crackled as he fiddled with it. Suddenly he heard a light and sweet voice: "Uncle Yuan!"
Cui Yuan suddenly raised his head and saw the person in front of him clearly. He was so excited that he almost shed tears. He immediately went to greet him, "Second Master, you are here."
Shen Yue looked at Cui Yuan with an anxious face and guessed what was going on. "Uncle Yuan doesn't need to call me the second boss, just call me A Yue. How many tables of guests are there now?"
Cui Yuan told the truth, "There are already six tables on the second floor. They are all ladies and ladies from well-known wealthy families in the town." At the end, he added, "It is not easy for the Cui family to offend."
He took out an exquisite bamboo list from the counter and said, "This is a menu made according to the list drawn up yesterday, but it was just a second order... Miss Ah Yue is not here, so I don't dare to push it to the guests rashly."
Shen Yue took the menu. The medicinal diet on it was all decided yesterday, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, she did not leave any recipes, so the kitchen could not prepare the corresponding medicinal meals and dishes according to the menu.
"Uncle Yuan, let the guys greet the guests and take their orders first. The kitchen will be in operation soon and the dishes will be served."
She thought she came early today, but she didn't expect Suyuanzhai to have customers so early. Fortunately, the medicinal meals she was preparing to launch were all served quickly.
"Okay, I'll give the order right now." After receiving the letter, Uncle Yuan immediately went to find the guys with the menu.
In the kitchen, although there is no new menu, everyone is handling the things in their hands in an orderly manner, which shows that Cui Sheng is still strict.
Feng Jin's eyes were sharp. When he saw Shen Yue coming, he immediately put down the red dates he was handling and greeted him. "Second Master, you are here. The ingredients you asked for yesterday have been processed, and we are waiting for your order."
"It's good to be the second boss!"
The busy people immediately put down their hands and saw that the new second boss was a little girl. Although they were a little confused, they still greeted her respectfully in unison.
Shen Yue looked at everyone, and then returned the greeting with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, you don't need to call me the second boss, just call me Shen Yue or A Yue."
From the moment she walked in, Shen Yue could feel the respect that everyone in Suyuanzhai showed to her, especially the cook, who must have been ordered by Cui Sheng long ago.
"It's not hard work, it's not hard work. The people in the kitchen are all under Miss Shen's orders." Feng Jin smiled and introduced the distribution of the kitchen staff to Shen Yue.
There are five people in the entire kitchen, each performing their own duties.
Feng Jin and Uncle Chen are in charge of cooking the dishes, while the newly transferred Xiao Wen and Xiao Xia are in charge of handling the ingredients and herbs, one is in charge of arranging the dishes and passing the dishes, and the only woman, Aunt Ping, is in charge of the staple pasta.
After a brief understanding, Shen Yue put down her backpack, put on her apron and prepared to demonstrate the new cuisine. The staff were all selected by Cui Sheng, so she didn't hide her clumsiness.
The soups and porridges in the beauty series are both must-haves, and porridge is particularly labor-intensive. In order to speed up the serving time, she decided to teach Aunt Ping how to make porridge first.
Xiaowen is the youngest in the kitchen, but he is also the smartest. He has prepared all the ingredients and herbs in advance. He can bring out whatever Shen Yue wants as soon as possible.
There were only three kinds of porridge on the menu this time. Aunt Ping also quickly placed three casseroles used for cooking porridge on the small stove, added cold spring water, and waited for Shen Yue's instructions.
Shen Yue first asked Xiao Wen for a ripe melon. After breaking it open, she wiped the sweet flesh along the edge of the pot.
This little trick not only prevents the pot from overflowing, but also adds a different flavor to the porridge.
Aunt Ping secretly remembered in her heart that melons turned out to have such wonderful uses.
"For this brown rice and coix seed porridge, first put one or two ounces of brown rice and simmer for a quarter of an hour on low heat, then add half a tael of coix seed and two red dates and simmer for another half an hour. When the time is up, immediately remove from the heat. When the temperature drops, sprinkle in the wolfberry. Ready to serve..."
"There are also loquat, red date and yam porridge. Remember to leave the fire as soon as the time comes."
Shen Yue told Aunt Ping all the specific methods of making the three kinds of porridge in one breath, and also told her to pay attention to the details.
Aunt Ping carefully noted down that for each type of porridge she mentioned, she prepared the corresponding ingredients and put brown rice, japonica rice, and glutinous rice into the pot to cook in the order Shen Yue said.
The porridge here is almost cooked, and the waiter from the front came back with the menu, and almost all the new dishes were ordered.
