Pan Yuanwu was waiting anxiously in the main hall. Naturally, he was not waiting for Pan Wen who went to the Lu Mansion to deliver a message for him, but for the reply he received from Lu Yao. Speaking of Pan Yuanwu, he and Lu Yao returned separately in the vegetable garden before.
After arriving at the house, Pan Yuanwu found Pan Wen and told him about the players of the Fan Lou team. Pan Wen didn't think much about it. He just said that after the official game was over, if Pan Yuanwu wanted to send the players of the Fan Lou team
If you go to work in the vegetable garden, you can discuss it with the members of the Fanlou team.
The result of this discussion is already obvious. The reason why Lu Yao gave Pan Yuanwu this suggestion was actually because he had done some homework. Although the members of the Fanlou team are all tall and powerful, they have more
They are still ordinary people. Even if they live in the inner city, except for a few servants of the Pan Mansion who have stable jobs, the others are the same as Chen Chen. They are ordinary people who have nothing to do.
.So, instead of continuing to work as a coolie, it is better to find a stable job and a stable income. This time, the new Cuju competition has joined the Fanlou team. They should have realized that it is good to have a good boss.
What kind of mood does the captain feel? They must feel very comfortable working under Pan Wen. And what is behind Pan Wen? Naturally, it is the Pan family. For these team members, when they mention the Pan family, they use the common saying
To put it simply, it was three words, not short of money. And when Pan Wen asked them if they wanted to go to the vegetable garden to participate in planting after the competition, the answers of these people were predictable.
Lu Yao easily helped Pan Yuanwu handle the manpower issues for planting. And that night, Pan Yuanwu was not idle either. He carefully read the manuscript that Lu Yao had given him from cover to cover. It can be said that he was the biggest gainer.
Shallow. Not only did he write down the cooking methods of each dish in great detail, Lu Yao also gave some suggestions of his own based on the current situation of Fan Lou, such as what kind of services should be launched in which seasons and what kind of dishes are there.
It is appropriate to launch it at a specific time, and what the operation and personnel allocation of the vegetable garden should be like.
At first, Pan Yuanwu was still a little unhappy. After all, Lu Yao immediately proposed that the price of these manuscripts was 50,000 yuan. If he hadn't revealed his true purpose later, Pan Yuanwu readily said that he would pay 200,000 yuan.
If it were money, he would definitely have to negotiate with Lu Yao for the price of 50,000 yuan. But now, after Pan Yuanwu carefully studied the manuscripts Lu Yao gave him, he discovered that there were many articles in them, which were far more than just
It is about how to make a dish with three ingredients: potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers. These things were obviously added to this manuscript by Lu Yao, but Lu Yao did not say it directly at the time. If Lu Yao had
After directly telling all the contents of this manuscript, Pan Yuanwu estimated that he would never refuse the price of 50,000 guan. The profit that this manuscript can bring to him has far exceeded the 50,000 guan.
Because of this, after reading the manuscript, Pan Yuanwu once again felt a little guilty towards Lu Yao. After one night, early this morning, he knew that Pan Wen was going to the Lu Mansion, so he sent Pan Wen to Lu Yao early.
He called over. Since Lu Yao had given him a big gift, he had to show his sincerity. So Pan Yuanwu asked Pan Wen to bring a message to Lu Yao when he went to the Lu Mansion, saying that he would be there tomorrow.
He will send the 200,000 guan to Lu Yao's bank and let Lu Yao find someone to deal with it. On the other hand, he also ordered the people to get busy and go to his treasury to check out the 200,000 guan and prepare it.
Send it to Lu Yao's bank tomorrow. Not only the servants, but also Pan Wen were a little surprised by Pan Yuanwu's operation. His father can be said to be a man who loves money as much as his life.
What method did Yao use to get Pan Yuanwu to directly hand over 200,000 yuan to him?
Although Pan Yuanwu has already prepared money, as the saying goes, words cannot be proven but written evidence is needed. Therefore, Pan Yuanwu also asked Pan Wen to remind him about the contract from time to time after meeting Lu Yao.
The contract was brought back. Pan Wen didn't know how to twist his mind. He always spoke straightforwardly. But this time, before Pan Wen could speak, Lu Yao had already handed over the contract after hearing that Pan Yuanwu had prepared 200,000 yuan.
Give it to Pan Wen.
After making all arrangements, Pan Yuanwu sat in the main hall, waiting for Pan Wen's return.
There were footsteps outside the door, and it turned out that Pan Wen was back, and he also brought someone with him, Lu Yao's housekeeper Tang Xi.
"Dad, I'm back." Pan Wen brought Tang Xi to the main hall. As soon as he said a word to Pan Yuanwu, he saw his father stood up from his seat and walked over. However, the target was not him, but the person beside him.
of Tangxi.
Pan Wen obviously did not expect that Tangxi would become more important than himself.
"Go back to your room and rest." Pan Yuanwu left Pan Wen such words, then pulled Tangxi aside and chatted about handing over the money tomorrow.
Pan Wen was helpless, shook his head and left.
Even in Pan Yuanwu's view, this two hundred thousand guan is not a small sum of money. Now that he has made such a big move, he doesn't know whether he will encounter robbers tomorrow. Tangxi said that this
He didn’t need to worry at all. There would be many people involved in escorting the money tomorrow. After hearing that Tang Xi’s brothers and those from Chen Chen’s team would be accompanying him to transport the money, Pan Yuanwu was completely relieved. He was not reluctant to part with it.
Spend this money, but the money must be safely delivered to Lu Yao's bank.
Later, Pan Yuanwu and Tang Xi agreed on a time to send the money. They both felt that the sooner the better for this kind of thing, so they agreed to have the large army start to advance towards the bank at dawn. Tang Xi also said,
He would bring his people to Pan's house to meet him earlier. Then, the two of them discussed all the specific matters for tomorrow.
After everything was settled, Tangxi took out the contract that Lu Yao had given him before. Seeing this, Pan Yuanwu immediately asked his subordinates to bring pen and ink and sign his name. The contract was made in two copies, and Lu Yao had already written on both copies.
After Pan Yuanwu signed, Tangxi took back one copy.
"Boss Pan, didn't you read the contents of this contract carefully?" Tang Xi asked when she saw that Pan Yuanwu just scanned the general text of the contract and signed it directly.
Pan Yuan

Wu smiled and said: "I can certainly trust Mr. Xiao Lu's character."
Pan Yuanwu spoke like this, naturally he was trying to trick Tang Xi. In fact, when he glanced at the contract just now, he had already read through all the key items, especially Lu Yao's previous promise to him that once the bank makes profits in the future, he would be given a share of it.
It was a matter of profit. In addition, there were no major problems in the several cooperations with Lu Yao. Pan Yuanwu also felt that there was really no need to read every word.
After settling the contract, Tangxi was about to say goodbye and leave. Pan Yuanwu expressed his hope to stay in Tangxi for a lunch at home and asked Chef Fan Lou to cook it. Although Chef Fan Lou’s cooking skills were indeed very tempting to Tangxi, but
However, he still had things to do, so he refused Pan Yuanwu's kindness.
After Tang Xi left, Pan Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. This important matter was finally settled.
Back to Tangxi, after he left Pan Mansion, his next destination was the inn where Chen Chen lived. When he arrived at the inn, he found Chen Chen just as they were about to leave the inn, so Tangxi asked Chen Chen where he was going.
Chen Chen said that he would take the following team members out for a run to exercise their physical strength. This could also be considered as preparation for the upcoming official competition. Tang Xi thought to himself that all teams should be doing such training before the official competition starts.
In this case, Tangxi didn't want to waste Chen Chen's time, and directly expressed the hope that Chen Chen would take the team members to meet him at the gate of Pan's mansion tomorrow morning. Chen Chen heard that it was related to Lu Yao's bank, and it was 200,000 yuan.
After the money was delivered, Tang Xi immediately expressed his agreement. After Tang Xi and Chen Chen reached an agreement, they left the inn and planned to return to Lu Mansion without delaying Chen Chen's training time.
Chen Chen, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to leave. He asked the team members to sit in the hall on the first floor and talked to them about tomorrow's events. The members of this grassroots team, let alone two hundred thousand dollars
, even twenty guan of money, they have never seen what it looks like. Chen Chen then explained to them that Mr. Lu Yao has strong financial resources, and even Boss Pan of Fanlou has become his partner, and then
Asked everyone if they would like to work for Lu Yao in the future.
Lu Yang was the first to stand up and express his willingness. As a good friend of Chen Chen, Lu Yang also met Lu Yao when he went to the Bird's Nest Stadium before. Although he has no culture, he can design such a grand design alone.
At the stadium, Lu Yang felt that Lu Yao was a person.
Other members of the grassroots team also expressed their willingness. In their opinion, Lu Yao is their financial backer, and if they follow him, they will have something to eat. As long as they do their jobs well, the benefits will naturally come to them.
Chen Chen's move was actually to test everyone's thoughts, and the incident of 200,000 yuan made it easier for them to believe in Lu Yao's strong strength. Therefore, Chen Chen went on to say that everyone would escort him with him tomorrow morning
This huge amount of money can just go to Lu Yao's bank to take a look. After the official competition is over, anyone who is willing to stay can work in the bank.
Everyone in the grassroots team agreed.
Seeing that everyone agreed to do things for Lu Yao so readily, Chen Chen was not surprised at all. The conditions of these people were not as good as his own. They saw that because of following Mr. Lu Yao, they had the most obvious...
The change was that he moved from the outer city to the inner city. Although Chen Chen and his parents now only live on the edge of the inner city, he can be considered a big step towards becoming a person in the inner city of Bianliang.
These members of the grassroots team may not be able to earn enough to buy a house in their lifetime.
Regarding the strength of the grassroots team, Chen Chen is very clear in his mind. It is naturally incorrect to say that there is no chance of defeating the Huangtian team in the first round. However, let Chen Chen analyze it himself. This first round match against the Huangtian team
, the winning rate of the grassroots team was only 20 to 30%. At that time, the competition adopted a single-elimination tournament system, which means that as long as you lose a game, you will be eliminated directly. In this case, Chen Chen himself
I'm not worried about my situation. After all, Lu Yao has already extended an olive branch to me before. After the official game, Chen Chen will become Lu Yao's housekeeper, and his role will be the same as Tangxi's now. But what about the others? The other members of this grassroots team
For more than half a month, Chen Chen has been living with them day and night, and they have become brothers. Can he really leave these people behind and enjoy his own happiness? Obviously not. Lu Yao is also the one.
Knowing this, when he told Chen Chen to let him become the housekeeper, he also arranged the things that these other people had to do. In this way, Chen Chen could work with his team members under Lu Yao.
.With this guarantee, the current grassroots team actually has no unnecessary distractions and psychological pressure. Whether it is running or holding a combat meeting, everyone is very involved. After Chen Chen arranged everyone's things for tomorrow, there was no more
Wasting time, I organized everyone to go out for a run.
On Tangxi's side, after everything was done, he started to return to Lu Mansion as quickly as possible. When he left, Lu Yao had told him to go back as soon as he finished handling the matter. Tangxi naturally knew what was going on.
The reason is that the young master wants to prepare some new dishes today, and he is the only one in the kitchen, so he is obviously a little busy.
Thinking of this, Tangxi accelerated his pace.
Back at the Lu Mansion, Tang Xi went directly to the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that Lu Yao had finished slicing the mutton and beef, and had also taken off the cloth strip on his left thumb.
At this time, Lu Yao saw Tang Xi coming in and asked him to take a small bowl and pour the sesame paste he had made evenly into the bowl. Then he took out a medium-sized red bowl and asked him to use a small spoon to pour the liquid in the bowl.
Pour some evenly into the bowl used to hold the sesame sauce.
Obviously, this bowl is the chili oil that Lu Yao just made. This kind of thing was naturally something that no one could see or eat in the Song Dynasty. The aroma and spiciness of the chili oil, mixed with the sesame seeds of sesame sauce
The taste, even if it is Tangxi, I can't help but start drooling while holding the dipping sauce for later use.
Tangxi mixed sesame sauce and chili oil in each bowl, and Lu Yao asked him to add some vinegar and sugar according to the proportion he gave. The dipping sauce was now complete.
After preparing the dipping sauce, Tangxi's eyes once again focused on the mutton and meat that Lu Yao had just cut.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
On to the beef.
The amount of mutton and beef is very even, the same three plates, but the three plates of mutton are divided into three shapes. The first plate of mutton, the shape of the meat is actually rolled up, Tangxi naturally does not know, this is for Lu Yao to eat
There was a sense of ritual when making it, so it was deliberately made into a shape similar to modern mutton rolls. As for this second plate of mutton, every piece of meat was very thin. Tangxi could tell at a glance that this should be the upper part of the sheep's brain.
From the thickness of the cut, it can be seen that the master's knife skills are very good.
However, Tangxi looked at this third plate of mutton for a long time and couldn't find any explanation.
At this time, Lu Yao saw Tang Xi looking at the plate of mutton with a strange look on his face, so he said, "What, do you think my plate of meat is not well cut?"
Tangxi shook his head quickly and said: "No, no, no, I just think that this plate of meat is a little fatter after all. It looks like it is full of fat. I remember that the young master doesn't like eating fat meat very much, right? This kind of meat
The color is all whitish, and I don’t know which part of the mutton it is.”
Lu Yao nodded and said: "If you are serious, you can still remember that I like to eat lean meat. In fact, the greater function of this plate of meat is not to eat, but to grease the hot pot. This kind of
There is a lot of fat in the meat, so using this oil together with the soup base can give you a more mutton flavor."
Tangxi didn't have much research on food, so he didn't understand much of what Lu Yao said. However, Tangxi understood the last sentence, so he asked: "So, should this thing be put into the pot first?"
Went there?”
Lu Yao said: "Yes, I guess this part of the meat cannot be bought alone in the market. If you hadn't bought such a large piece of mutton yesterday, I probably wouldn't have been able to eat this part of the mutton. This
The name of the mutton part is also very strange, it’s called mutton tail oil.”
Sheep tail oil, Tangxi has never heard of this term at all, but judging from Lu Yao's expression, maybe this thing will actually taste better if you put it in it.
"Okay, don't be in a daze, go boil a pot of water, and put everything on the plate into the copper pot." Lu Yao said, pointing to the plate next to him.
Tangxi looked at it, and found that the things on the plate were relatively normal, including peppers, a small piece of tomatoes, green onions, and nothing else. Originally, Tangxi thought that Lu Yao would make a mysterious soup just like he did before when he made beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and potatoes.
The ingredients are coming, and then the soup is put into the copper pot. Who knows, judging from the things on the plate now, the water will be boiled and put into the copper pot. Although these things can also play a role in seasoning, strictly speaking
The soup base should still taste a little bland.
Tangxi started to boil water. After thinking about it again and again, he still didn't ask Lu Yao the reason for this.
However, Lu Yao had already seen Tang Xi's expression, so he said: "Not everything has to be cooked in thick soup. For hot pot, what you eat is the taste of the meat itself, combined with the taste of sesame sauce. If you use thick soup to cook it,
It’s not impossible to make, for example, the tomato soup base from last time, but to a large extent, the flavor of the soup base will cover up the flavor of the meat.”
After Lu Yao's explanation, Tangxi also understood. Because there were too many things he didn't understand, Tangxi didn't look at the remaining three plates of beef. However, Tangxi saw the meat slices on one plate of beef.
Egg yolk was placed, and the other plate of beef was actually sprinkled with finely chopped chili foam.
The conditions in the Song Dynasty were naturally not as good as modern times, so if you wanted to make tender beef and spicy beef, you had to keep everything simple, but sprinkle the minced chili pepper on the beef, which should be considered spicy beef. When Lu Yao saw this plate
Beef makes your mouth water.
On Lu Yao's side, although he ordered Tangxi to do things, he was not idle either. In addition to meat, he also wanted to make some other things. He bought tripe, brains, duck intestines, etc. from Tangxi.
The other ingredients that came back were also put on the plates respectively. I thought that my family would not eat these things for a while. It seemed that I was in a good mood today.
Although Tang Xi was a rough man, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he watched Lu Yao put all the dirty things on the plate while boiling water. Even he had never thought of eating such things.
Among the other foods that Lu Yao put on the plate, there was only a white plate of something that looked like mud. Tang Xi felt that she could barely accept it, but the reason why she could accept it was also because she didn't recognize this thing. If Lu Yao said
If he knew what it was, he might not want to eat it.
"Sir, what is that?" The water boiled, and Tang Xi poured the water and condiments into the copper pot. Finally, he couldn't help his curiosity and asked Lu Yao what the white thing on the plate was.
Lu Yao has now started to get the very small pieces of charcoal that will be used under the copper pot. He will put it through the bottom for fuel. After hearing Tang Xi's question, Lu Yao stood up and looked at the plate of things, and then turned his head.
He said to Tangxi: "This is shrimp slippery."
"Xiaoli, what is that?" Tangxi was confused again.
Lu Yao could only explain: "You will know when you eat it later. This is not a shrimp, it is just an ordinary shrimp."
After hearing this, Tangxi said: "Is it the shrimp I bought at the market yesterday? Now it has become like this?"
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Well, in terms of taste, shrimp slipper should be better than shrimp."
Tang Xi finally felt a little more relieved. He would never touch the brains, tripe and duck intestines, but he could still accept them if they were shrimps.
Lu Yao was almost ready. At this time, footsteps came from the kitchen again. Lu Yao looked and saw that it was Uncle Fu who came in.
"Sir, the master and his wife would like to ask you how the preparations are going here and when the meal can be served."
Obviously, the Lu family has a fixed meal time every day. Today, because Lu Yao said that he would cook in person, everyone was actually waiting for the delicious food he made. However, it did take a lot of time to prepare the hot pot.
It usually takes longer. After all, this is the first time Lu Yao has made hot pot in this dynasty. Of course, the rest of the Lu family has no idea what Lu Yao is doing.
"It's been done, Uncle Fu, come and help." Lu Yao said.
