Behind Yuxiang Tower, inside the small courtyard house.
After listening to Xiao Que's report, Wei Ming looked a little unhappy.
"Who is that old man in brocade robes, who behaves like this?"
Wei Ming frowned.
"have no idea."
Xiao Que shook his head, but seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly added:
"It seems that he is the shopkeeper of a nearby restaurant. He is used to being arrogant and domineering."
"When buying grain this time, he decided to use money to buy the grain I had worked so hard to select when he disagreed with me. I was so quick to get wise in my desperation that these beetroots survived."
"As expected."
Wei Ming nodded, a strange color flashed across his eyes, and he said sadly.
"It seems that this incident is just the beginning. I am afraid that the surrounding restaurants are jealous of our booming business, so they deliberately take this opportunity to suppress us."
"this......"
Xiao Que had a worried look on his face. Although he was a servant, he also knew that these restaurants had some connections in the local area. Once he offended them, his future business would be greatly hindered.
"Do not worry."
Wei Ming smiled slightly, patted Xiao Que on the shoulder and said:
"You have already done a good job on this matter. Go and rest first, and leave the rest to me."
"OK."
The little boy nodded and left the room respectfully.
After Xiao Que left, Wei Ming's expression became serious, his eyes were deep and shining, as if he was thinking about something.
Although he has always been low-key and cautious, Yuxianglou's business is so booming that it still arouses the hostility of other restaurants. This robbery of food must be caused by the other party's mischief!
I'm afraid that this incident is just the beginning. In the days to come, the attacks on Yuxianglou will only come one after another. I'm afraid it won't be that simple if we want business to be booming again.
Thinking of this, Wei Ming's expression gradually became grim, and a sharp look emerged in his eyes.
"In this case, from today onwards, we will no longer be low-key and cautious, but will act boldly and let those restaurants see Wei's strength."
The corners of Wei Ming's mouth curved into a cold arc.
After all, restaurants don't rely on fighting and killing, but rely on taste.
If you can satisfy the appetites of diners, then your business will naturally flourish, and you will not have to worry about running out of business. At that time, no matter how unhappy those restaurants are, they will have to hold back the anger in their hearts.
Thinking of this, an unknown fighting spirit arose in Wei Ming's heart, and his eyes became determined.
"The top priority is to learn brewing skills as soon as possible. As long as you can brew soy sauce, then there will be no problem with the taste!"
Wei Ming thought to himself.
Then, he closed his eyes tightly and sat down cross-legged. An attribute panel suddenly appeared in his mind.
Wei Ming (restaurant manager)
Skill points (1.09/max)
Skill:
【Running】lv1(1/5)
【Medical Skills】lv1(1/3)
Wei Ming looked at the attribute panel with mixed feelings in his heart.
This skill point is too difficult to obtain, and the improvement the skill brings to him is too small.
For example, even if the [Running] skill is fully loaded, it can only surpass ordinary people in terms of speed. Even a mule cannot outrun it, let alone those soldiers riding horses.
As for [Medical Skills], I only know simple medical common sense, which is fine for those with minor injuries, but it has no effect on those who are seriously injured and dying.
But then, Wei Ming's expression returned to calm.
Perhaps he was too greedy and dreamed of reaching the world in one go, which led to such an embarrassing situation.
Being penniless and without any skills, being able to become a restaurant manager, apart from the help of skill points, is inseparable from my agility and bravery.
Wei Ming took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, you must work hard to move forward.
Then he set his sights on the last line of the skills panel and clicked learn without hesitation.
[Brewing] (0/3): Use less food and other items to brew wine, soy sauce and other items.
At the moment when Wei Ming made the choice, the light shone brightly, and suddenly, a lot of information came to his mind.
This information includes various principles of fermentation, screening, and sterilization, and is of great use.
Wei Ming's body trembled involuntarily a few times, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and raised a bright smile at the corner of his mouth.
Was this a success?
I can finally try brewing myself!
Wei Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and quickly called Xiao Que to prepare the tools needed for brewing.
Soon, with the cooperation of Xiao Que, all the preparations were arranged, and then they were waiting to start.
Wei Ming walked out of the room and came to the yard. In front of him were several large wooden barrels filled with clean water, and Xiaoque was busy inside.
"Xiao Que, are you ready?"
Wei Ming asked.
"Well, Ming Gong, everything is ready."
Xiaoque replied cheerfully, even he was full of curiosity about what was about to happen.
"Then let's get started."
Wei Ming nodded with satisfaction and then added:
"Pour all the bean sprouts you bought into the water. Remember, you must wash them carefully to make sure you don't make any mistakes."
"Well."
Xiaoque was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he heard wrongly, and quickly asked: "Are you talking about all the bean sprouts you purchased?"
"Well, that's right."
Wei Ming nodded affirmatively.
Xiao Que swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Wei Ming. He found that the expression on his face was very serious, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Ming, this is not a joke. This is related to the life and death of our store. Please don't act nonsense."
Wei Ming smiled lightly when he heard this, and then explained:
"Xiao Que, where are you thinking? How could I make fun of the livelihood of the store? You just need to follow my instructions."
Seeing that Xiao Que still looked unconvinced, Wei Ming sighed helplessly:
"Don't worry, I'm just making soy sauce this time, so I won't make fun of our Yuxianglou rice bowl."
"As long as the soy sauce brewing is successful, we will not worry about running out of business."
Wei Ming said firmly.
"soy sauce?"
Xiao Que had a puzzled look on his face, not knowing what this word meant.
But this is normal. Wei Ming has already found out that few people in Jingzhou, let alone Changsha City, have heard of soy sauce.
You know, in troubled times, people have difficulty even eating and clothing, so how can there be excess food to brew soy sauce? What's more, the taste of soy sauce made by the ancient method is not good, so that those princes and scholar-bureaucrats would rather use the excess food to make wine.
Nor will it be used to make soy sauce.
However, even if someone brews soy sauce, Wei Ming is confident that he can beat him in terms of taste. The soy sauce produced by his rigorous brewing process cannot be worse than others.
Therefore, Wei Ming looked at Xiao Que who was full of doubts and explained:
"It's just a condiment, you just make it."
After hearing what Wei Ming said, Xiao Que had no choice but to nod doubtfully.
Since Duke Ming had already said this, Xiao Que had no choice but to agree obediently, and then poured the sacks containing the beetroot into the water.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Wei Ming's gaze, ripples appeared on the water, and then disappeared as if blown away by the wind.
After a while, all the beans in the sacks were poured into the water.
"Xiao Que, I'll leave these to you. Remember, you must soak them for about eight hours until the bean skin wrinkles, steam them in a pot, and then expose them to the sun."
Wei Ming still warned worriedly.
"Um!"
Xiaoque nodded heavily, and then began to deal with it seriously.
"Ming Gong, you should go take care of the business in the store first. Just leave these tasks to Xiao Que."
Xiaoque turned around and said to Wei Ming.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Wei Ming nodded and then left.
He walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the restaurant.
Since the brewing of soy sauce still takes time, don't rush it. Now let's concentrate on the business in the store.
