Two thousand taels were also received, and after agreeing to come to the Banshan Restaurant in three days to teach the cooks how to cook and bring along the recipes, Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi left the Banshan Restaurant.
After they left, shopkeeper Li gathered all the people in the kitchen together and waited for Lou Zhan to lecture him.
Lou Zhan knew how much value Lin Nanyi could create to Banshan Restaurant, and the dishes she cooked were unprecedented in the Dali Dynasty.
"Ms. Lin will come to teach you new recipes in three days. You will just have to study seriously. I will not treat you badly." Lou Zhan put down his tea cup and slowly fanned the fan in front of him.
There are a total of five chefs in the Banshan Restaurant, and Chef Wang has the best cooking skills. He can be said to have one hand covering the sky in the back kitchen.
Now that Lin Nan suddenly appeared, he felt a crisis and threatened his status.
People who rely on craftsmanship but don't know how to innovate are the most likely to be eliminated.
Chef Wang smiled flatteringly, showing his yellow teeth, which made people feel sick just looking at him.
"Master, you can believe it if you watch a girl's videos. I think those of hers are just embroidery, there is no real material."
He didn't know what the host and Lin Nan talked about when they went to the second floor, but he understood that some kind of agreement must have been reached.
The more Chef Wang thought about it, the more he became afraid.
Shopkeeper Li looked at him with some pity. He was so ignorant that he dared to comment on the master's decision. He was almost embarrassed to say it.
Lou Zhan laughed softly, as if he had heard a big joke. The laughter sent chills down Chef Wang's spine and he didn't know what to do.
"Fuck your fists and embroider your legs? Let's try Chef Wang's craftsmanship." After saying that, he went directly to the second floor.
Others didn't know what this meant, but Shopkeeper Li, who had been with Lou Zhan for so many years, knew very well that Chef Wang's career seemed to be over.
Chef Wang thought that the master really wanted him to show off his skills. He laughed twice and turned around to go to the kitchen. He was bound to make some good dishes today to rival Lin Nanyi's.
I called on several cooks to help.
The other chefs were naturally willing to help. Not to mention that Lin Nanyi came out halfway and Cheng Yaojin was not familiar to them. With Chef Wang, they could also get a lot of exposure.
Lou Zhan just drank a cup of tea on the second floor, and five or six main dishes were served.
When it was served to the table, Lou Zhan didn't even look at it. He rubbed the fan carefully with his fingers, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking.
Chef Wang laughed so hard that he wiped his hands on the apron in front of him and put his best dish on the small plate in front of Lou Zhan, "Master, please try it."
The people who were serving the dishes were all chefs, and now they were standing aside looking at him expectantly.
Then let them know where they lost.
When the meat brought by Chef Wang was put into the mouth, it was dry and woody, and even a little bit chewy.
Lou Zhan looked ugly and no longer wanted to try other dishes.
"Shopkeeper Li, is this the strength of Banshan Restaurant in the past? How can I say that this business has gradually become cold? It turns out that it is really our fault."
After Lou Zhan finished speaking, he stood up and left the restaurant, leaving a room full of people looking at each other at a loss.
Chef Wang didn't believe that what he cooked was so unpalatable. He angrily picked up a chopstick and after chewing it carefully, he thought to himself: This is the taste, he did it right.
Shopkeeper Li shook his head, saying there was no hope.
...
After Lin Nanyi and Yan Wenzhi left the restaurant, they headed straight for the pier. Lin Nanyi then remembered that there was a two-story shop not far from the pier, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and was in tatters.
But it will definitely be usable after repairs.
In terms of location, that place is the best. It is very close to the pier, which ensures the freshness of the ingredients. The flow of people is also relatively large. People who are related to the pier come and go, most of them are businessmen.
The two of them walked very quickly, and soon they arrived at the Yazi residence they had found when they rented a house last time.
Generally speaking, people know best whether to buy or rent a house, so it is wisest to find this kind of person to establish contact with.
Yazi happened to be at home and greeted them warmly when he saw them.
After they explained their purpose, Yazi became even more enthusiastic, and quickly called for someone to invite the owner of the house to come and take a look at the house together.
When the owner came, he found out that the house was abandoned because his child was seriously ill a few years ago. He closed his shop and went to Kyoto to seek medical treatment. After some time, his health improved and he returned to Qinghe Town.
I left in a hurry and abandoned the shop, which is why I am now in ruins.
The host's business is directly related to food. The first floor is set up like a hall, and there are fifteen or sixteen tables that can be visited.
The second floor is basically divided into separate rooms, just like the private rooms in the previous life.
This is exactly in line with Lin Nanyi's expectations, and it can also save a lot of decoration expenses.
With Yazi as the middleman, the negotiation went very smoothly, and the owner asked for 1,500 taels of silver to sell the shop.
Although I have two thousand taels on hand, there are other things that need to be purchased, and the price is a bit high.
Because she liked the place very much, she was willing to discuss the price with the owner. After half an hour, she finally sold the house for one thousand two hundred taels.
Yan Wenzhi listened quietly throughout the whole process. He only added a few words on some points that Lin Nanyi didn't mention, but he said all the key points.
Even the way the host looked at Yan Wenzhi changed.
After they reached an agreement, they signed the contract on the spot, went to the Yamen together, and handed over the land deed to Lin Nanyi.
It took less than three hours in total. Lin Nan came out of the Yamen, holding the land deed in one hand and the remaining eight hundred taels of silver in the other, feeling a little dazed.
Unexpectedly, she had been poor in her previous life and now owned this big shop.
Yan Wenzhi also feels the same way. A few months ago, he was a dying man who was too ill to get out of bed. Now he is not only in good health, but can also move to the town and go to school in the future.
This was a life he had never dared to imagine before.
All this is thanks to the arrival of Lin Nanyi.
Unconsciously, his eyes looked at Lin Nanyi a little more tenderly.
It was sunset now, and while the weather was not too hot, they went to the pier again. There were vendors at the pier who specialized in seafood, and most of them were resold to other countries.
In this different world where the Three Kingdoms stand in harmony, the waterways of the Dali Dynasty are relatively abundant, and they don’t like seafood, so seafood is basically sold to other countries.
When the vendor saw the two people coming, he quickly stepped forward to greet them. Yan Wenzhi was not used to the fishy smell here, and was about to remind Lin Nan to cover her mouth and nose, but saw that she was as usual, not reacting at all.
This made him even more confused. She was Lin Nanyi, but she didn't look like Lin Nanyi.
It is rare for a vendor to see such a calm person in such an environment, and his smile is much more sincere.
"Girl, are you here to see the fish?"
There is no oxygen here, and the fish are basically dead. Only he has a lot of live fish, and it can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into it.
"Everyone else's fish is dead, why are yours still alive?"
The merchant became even more proud, "I will add water to it every quarter of an hour, so that it won't die."
There is oxygen in the water, which ensures that there is enough oxygen for the fish to breathe.
The traders are very smart.
"Can you provide fish every day?"
The merchant nodded, they resold these fish to merchant ships coming from other places to collect them, so of course they were available every day.
"Are there many categories?" Lin Nan leaned over, picked up the stick next to him, and stirred the fish in the wooden barrel a few times. The quiet wooden barrel seemed to suddenly come to life, and the fish inside were rolling and jumping.
Very lively and good.
"It's quite a lot, you'll know just by looking at it."
The vendor knew from her actions that she must know a lot about fish, and he had a vague feeling that she would be a big customer, and he didn't hide it.
She took a look and saw that there were indeed many categories. These categories alone could support her restaurant.
"I need a lot of fish, in about ten days. Can you take this business?"
The business came, but the merchant hesitated. Ten days was too long, and he was not sure.
If fish is an ingredient, you can't make money if it dies.
"I own a restaurant. I need to renovate the store in the next ten days. After opening, I will need a lot of fish every day. If the quality can be guaranteed, I can order it from you."
The restaurant's business is not small, but he also understands that the people here don't know how to eat fish.
Even though he is a fishmonger, he doesn't like it. There are many thorns and it doesn't have any taste, just a fishy smell.
Can this business be done?
Lin Nanyi doesn't have so much time to spend here, he still has to go back and make plans for the decoration.
"On the opening day, the boss can come and taste it for free. On that day, I will first ask for a hundred catties of fish. Then the boss will prepare it for me and I will pick up the goods and clear the account."
One hundred catties. People in Qinghe Town can't buy one hundred catties of fish in a year. She needs one hundred catties a day.
Grit your teeth and take the plunge. Whether you succeed or fail depends on this time.
"Okay, I will prepare the fish, but the price fluctuates every day. We will discuss the price on the day you come, but it will always be lower than other places."
The two of them agreed that it would get late in the future. They had been running around all day and just drank some tea at the Mid-Levels Restaurant. Now their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Mrs. Gu must have prepared the meals at home and waited for them.
It only took two-quarters of an hour to walk from the dock to Qingxi Lane. I walked too much today, and now I was hungry. Lin Nan felt that one of his calves was very sore and the soles of his feet were sore.
After walking a certain distance, Yan Wenzhi noticed something was wrong with her and asked her sideways, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay. I walked a lot and my feet hurt a little." Lin Nan lowered his head and gently punched it a few times before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Wenzhi pursed his lips, looked at the way home, and squatted decisively in front of her, "Come up, I'll carry you."
Lin Nan was stunned and backed away, "I don't know what's going on with your body. I can walk by myself."
Yan Wenzhi pulled her hard without saying anything. She couldn't stand firm and rushed forward, falling directly on his back. Yan Wenzhi stood up and walked Lin Nan up and walked away.
Lin Nan finally realized, this...this... This chapter has been completed!
