Lu Yao had carefully prepared the hot pot for so long, and finally his hard work paid off. Although Lu Yao knew in his heart that he could definitely eat this hot pot, and he would also eat it well. This was considered a blessing for him to travel through time for so long.
It was a reward for doing something in the past. But after all, this was in the Song Dynasty. Lu Yao also knew that his family usually had lighter tastes, so he didn’t put a lot of effort into the soup base. As for the copper pot, Lu Yao
Yao is also made according to the standards of the Qing Dynasty. The key point is whether your family members, that is, people in the Song Dynasty, can accept the way of eating hot pot and the ingredients. As for the way of eating, Lu
Yao was not too worried. For Lu Xu and the others, this hot pot seemed to them no different from the usual hotpot. Perhaps the biggest difference was that Lu Yao gave each of them a bowl of sesame paste, which was
It can prove that the meal you eat is the most important standard of hot pot.
Rather than asking them to accept this way of eating, what Lu Yao is more interested in is whether you can change the concept of the Song Dynasty people. Of course, what I am talking about here is the food ingredients, ordinary meat and vegetables, Lu Yao estimates that at home
People will have no problem eating it. Even if it is fat meat, Lu Yao only needs to explain it, and everyone will probably accept it. After all, these things are things they can usually see. Including shrimp slippers, which were eaten just now
After Lu Yao said it was a shrimp, everyone immediately let go of their wariness.
But when it comes to other ingredients, Lu Yao is a little bit troubled. Hairy tripe, duck intestines, brains, let alone let them eat these things, even the family has never seen these things before. Not only them,
Even those butcher shops throw away these things directly. In this era, no one would save things like brains, tripe and duck intestines, because no one wants them. So much so that Tangxi accepted Lu Yao's order.
When I went to buy these three ingredients, I received strange looks from the store owners. They thought the person standing in front of them was a freak. In the end, these things were given to Tangxi because Tangxi looked tall and tall and proposed such a weird idea.
The request, in the eyes of these stores, was a bit suspicious of robbery. Tangxi was obviously here to rob. In order to find an excuse for himself, he said he was here to buy those things, so these stores gave away these ingredients for free in the end.
Tangxi, they didn't eat it anyway. Who knew that Tangxi accepted it happily and even thanked the store. Even if Tangxi didn't know how much these things were worth, he still wanted to say thank you if they gave them to him for free.
.What Tangxi didn't know was that after he left the store after confirming that he was not a robber, the store owner actually felt that there was something wrong with his mind, otherwise who would buy these things.
After these ingredients appeared in front of Lu Yao, although he had already processed them, washed them cleanly and ensured their freshness as much as possible, it was still very difficult for people from the Song Dynasty to accept the addition of hairy tripe and brain flakes.
There are also things like duck intestines that you can put into your mouth to taste their taste.
Don't say it was them. Before Lu Yao traveled through time, he remembered that it was his first time to Chongqing. He went with his mother to eat old hot pot in Chongqing. Lu Yao was shocked when he got the menu. There was no mutton.
There were only a few kinds of beef, and there was also an old pork slice. The rest were basically hairy tripe, duck blood, duck intestines, brains and other dirty things. Lu Yao's reaction at that time was to leave directly. But.
His mother said that it would be impolite to just leave after she came. She should do as the Romans do and she would give it a try no matter what. So Lu Yao had no choice but to order these things. Lu Yao still remembers the hot pot scene very well when he thinks about it.
It's still fresh. The mother and son were hooked after tasting the deliciousness of duck intestines and tripe. It was also the best hot pot Lu Yao had ever eaten.
Because of this, Lu Yao could understand why the Lu family felt that these ingredients were disgusting. In fact, just hearing the words "brain flower" and "duck intestines", combined with their own imagination, Lu Xu and Lu Hao were already confused.
It whetted their appetite. And when the time came, it would be placed directly on the table for them to pick up and put into the pot. However, even though he knew that his family would react like this, Lu Yao had to put these things on the table.
Come up. Because he knows that if you really want to make hot pot, these ingredients are indispensable, because everyone can buy ordinary meat dishes. By then, Lu Yao also plans to sell this copper pot to the outside world.
Now that everyone can eat hot pot, the business of hot pot restaurants will be affected. So for duck intestines, brains and tripe, Lu Yao plans to take the monopoly route, that is, he wants to eat these ingredients
, you have to go to a hot pot restaurant. Not only that, but Lu Yao also plans to develop these ingredients himself, such as quail eggs and luncheon meat, and put them on the menu of hot pot restaurants. Therefore, whether a hot pot restaurant can be a big hit does not depend on
The way to eat it depends on whether these ingredients, which are very novel to the people of the Song Dynasty, can be accepted by them.
Therefore, the reason why Lu Yao put so much effort into making hot pot at home was firstly to reward himself, and secondly to conduct an experiment. Naturally, it would be better for the experimental subjects to choose his own family. After all, they are all family members and cannot withstand his own persuasion.
, Lu Yao knew that no matter how much his father and eldest brother resisted such things as brain flower, they would eventually try a little bit of it under his persuasion. Of course, in addition to his family, Lu Yao knew that Pan Wen, Chen Chen, and Zhe Kexingruo were
Faced with these ingredients, he would also give himself this face, but friends are friends, family or family. In addition, due to Pan Wen's identity, Chen Chen had other things to explain to him, so in the end Lu Yao
I still chose to operate on my family.
Although Lu Yao knew that this food was delicious, when Lu Hao and Lu Xu actually put these sewage ingredients into their mouths to chew, Lu Yao was still a little worried. If they didn't think it tasted good, they wouldn't because of their status.
Tell yourself, but Lu Yao can tell it from the expression. If your family members don't think it tastes good and are resistant to these foods, let alone go to a hot pot restaurant and promote it to the public.
.So, the reaction of Lu Xu and Lu Hao when they tasted the tripe and duck intestines was the most critical part.
Judging from the results, Lu Yao succeeded. Lu Xu and Lu Hao were out of control after eating duck intestines and tripe respectively. The same was true for Tangxi, who refused to eat brains from the beginning.
After tasting the tofu-like texture of Naohua, he was very surprised.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yan and Uncle Fu saw that the master and the eldest son were eating so happily, so naturally they started to taste with their chopsticks.
The result of the family's struggle in the end is naturally obvious. Except for the noodles that everyone couldn't eat because they ate too much, all the ingredients on the plates on the table have been wiped out. Especially the Yan family and the Xu family.
, they have only heard of the terms duck intestines, brains, and tripe. As women, they have never seen these things. Today is the first time they have seen and eaten them, but the two of them did not think so much, no matter
It is whatever it is, as long as it is delicious, and it is made by Lu Yao, then there is no problem. Based on this idea, these two women actually ate more duck intestines than Lu Xu and Lu Hao.
On the contrary, Lu Yao wanted to use this meal to reward himself, but in the end he ate more of the staple food noodles. However, seeing his family giving him face like this and wiping out all the ingredients on the table, Lu Yao felt in his heart
He was really happy, and he also knew that the family's reaction gave him a signal that hot pot dishes could still gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty. Of course, there were still some things that needed to be post-produced by himself, such as quail eggs, lunch meat, etc.
There is also butter pot bottom. Once this spicy pot pot comes out, it can also increase the profits of your hot pot restaurant. As we all know, in addition to the high price of fresh dishes, the most profitable thing in the hot pot industry is the pot bottom. Among them, spicy tomato pot
The most famous one, Lu Yao, had already begun to conceive of his future hot pot industry territory.
At this time, the rest of the Lu family were sitting on the table and did not want to move. The reason was simple. Everyone was very full, and they were also in the process of reminiscing about the delicious food they had eaten before.
Yan was the first to speak and said, "It would be more delicious if the soup base was also spicy."
In fact, it is not that Lu Yao has not considered what his mother said, but in the entire Lu family, his mother is the only one who eats spicy food. Lu Yao also has to consider other people's thoughts, but his mother's suggestion is indeed true.
That's quite right.
"What my mother said is true, things like tripe and duck intestines can play a greater role when put in a spicy soup base. Next time I make it, I will make a half spicy soup base, and then put it in a spicy soup base."
Make a soup base with half of the tomatoes and give it to everyone to try."
After the meal, no one wanted to go back to the room to rest because they were very full. Even the sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, proposed to take a walk in the courtyard, and Lu Hao naturally wanted to accompany her.
Lu Xu, on the other hand, found Lu Yao at this time and expressed that he had something to say to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao felt a little uncomfortable. He had a good sleep after lunch. Lu Yao hadn't experienced this feeling for an unknown amount of time. He didn't have much to do today, and because he was easily sleepy after eating, Lu Yao wanted to have a good sleep.
After some sleep, Lu Xu wanted to talk to him at this time. He had no choice but to ask him to be his father, so Lu Yao reluctantly went to the study with Lu Xu.
Lu Yao knew in his heart that usually when his father had something important to tell him, his father would call him to the study.
This time his father called him over, and he didn't know why. Lu Yao also murmured in his heart. In fact, most of the things he has done in recent days are related to the new Cuju competition, and his father, Lu Xu, has no idea about this aspect.
Although Lu Xu was very supportive of Lu Yao in some respects, if he wanted to find her this time for the new Cuju competition, Lu Yao would definitely not be interested.
Believe it.
When Lu Xu saw Lu Yao entering the house, he motioned to Lu Yao to close the door. Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, but he still did it. Lu Xu's move just showed that what he wanted to tell him was very important. Lu Yao
Don't want anyone else to hear about this.
After entering the study, Lu Xu motioned for Lu Yao to sit down. After Lu Yao sat down, he said, "If I guess correctly, do you want to do this business called hot pot in Bianliang?"
Regarding this, Lu Xu could guess that it was actually not what Lu Yao expected at all. But what he didn't expect was that for all the businesses he had done before, most of them just told his father Lu Yao when he was doing it.
, he did not even say hello to Lu Xu for some businesses. For example, the bank was about to open. In fact, Lu Yao had never taken the initiative to tell Lu Xu about the situation of the bank.
My father is actually interested in this hot pot business? Why? Logically speaking, my father is not a foodie, so he should not be very interested in food. Lu Yao thought about it and said to Lu Xu: "
Well, I do have this plan, so I will try it today and make it for you to try."
Lu Xu nodded and continued to ask: "Why don't you want to sell this business to the Pan family and Pan Yuanwu like before? You and Pan Wen have a good relationship. If you give this business to the Pan family, you can sell it for a lot."
The price is low, and you can also earn connections and reputation, isn’t that good?”
Lu Yao didn't understand Lu Xu's speech. He said: "Having said that, I also know what you mean, but the hot pot industry is different from cooking. What's more, I want to open this hot pot shop outside."
Let’s go to the city. Now Boss Pan’s focus is on Fan Lou, and he won’t be able to find any manpower to run the new hotel for a while.”
Lu Yao had never thought about Lu Yao's remarks. In fact, since Lu Yao started making hot pot today, and when he saw Lu Yao's very concerned expression when he and Lu Hao were eating hot pot, Lu Xu already had the answer in his heart.
Lu Yao must be doing something about hot pot. But what Lu Xu didn't understand was that just before, Lu Yao also sold hot peppers and a lot of recipe recipes to Pan Yuanwu. Should he just sell this together at that time?
Will the hot pot business be sold to him together?
However, it is understandable that Lu Yao did not have full confidence in hot pot at that time, so he cooked today just to see what his family thought of hot pot. However, Lu Xu thought that there should be one more person at the dinner table today.
, that is Pan Wen. If you want to experiment with the taste of hot pot, it will be better if the Pan family members taste it in person.
However, Lu Xu didn't expect that Lu Yao had planned to run the hot pot business himself from the beginning, and it seemed that he had already chosen the address.
Then, Lu Xu asked Lu Yao how much he knew about the outer city. Although Lu Yao didn’t know
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Dao's father talked to him about the purpose of talking to him today, but after all, he was his family, and it didn't matter if he talked to him, so Lu Yao told Lu Xu what he had inspected in the outer city. Of course, Lu Yao also
Lu Yao did not fully disclose his plans, such as the cooperation with Zhang Maocai and the food court. Lu Yao did not tell his father.
Although Lu Yao still doesn't know clearly what his father discussed with him, Lu Yao can already guess from the tone of Lu Xu's words. That is Lu Xu's idea of opening a hot pot restaurant.
He was not optimistic about it, and from what Lu Yao said just now, he could tell that Lu Xu wanted to suggest that it would be better to just give these things to the Pan family at a fixed price, just like when he made the secret recipe.
After Lu Yao finished talking about his idea of opening a hot pot restaurant, Lu Xu said: "So, you are planning to open a hot pot restaurant by yourself in the outer city, but have you ever thought about it? You are already busy with the new Cuju competition.
You are so stressed out, and you have to take the imperial examination next, and then you may have to enter an official career. Under such circumstances, can you really run this hot pot restaurant well?"
Lu Yaoxin asked what happened to Lu Xu. If his father didn't know much about his abilities when he had just traveled through time, after all, Lu Yao was still a playboy in everyone's eyes at that time, but after such a long period of training,
, My father has also made it clear before that he will support his career, not only in all industries, but also in the Cuju competition he organized, including the imperial examination. My father has always been cheering him up. Why did he suddenly get angry at this time?
Are you giving up?
So, Lu Yao said: "Dad, do you think I can't handle this hot pot restaurant? I have done well in so many previous businesses and this new Cuju competition, and I won't do all of them personally.
As for the matter, when this hot pot restaurant matures, I will hand it over to a dedicated person in charge to manage it like other industries, and it will not affect my career."
"How did I hear that your bank is about to open for business, and it is targeted at those students who have not left the capital. Do you want to give the money to them?" Lu Xu changed the topic and stopped talking about the hot pot restaurant.
, but instead targeted the bank that was about to open.
Lu Yao said: "Yes, the measures I am going to take next are to attract these students to watch the new Cuju competition. Moreover, the football lottery will be launched soon, so you don't have to worry too much about not being able to get the money back by then. This bank will definitely
It’s a sure-fire business.”
In Lu Yao's view, Lu Xu should be worried about whether he can continue to make money, or continue to ensure an income situation. If this is the case, then Lu Xu must be overthinking. Although this bank may not be able to survive in the end.
It is impossible to make too much money, but it should be impossible to lose money.
However, Lu Yao did not expect that Lu Xu shook his head and said: "This does not mean making money or not, do you understand?"
Lu Yao saw Lu Xu's expression was very serious, so he asked, "What do you mean, dad?"
Lu Xu stood up from his seat, walked to Lu Yao, and said with a very serious expression: "Let me ask you, are you confident about entering the palace examination?"
"Nine times out of ten, sure."
"If you pass the general examination and enter the palace examination, given His Majesty's trust in you, you should have no problem getting a Jinshi."
"I think it should be fine. Dad, what's wrong with this?"
"If you want to become an official in the court, do you know what you will face?"
Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Join a gang for personal gain?"
Lu Xu said: "There are many factions and turbulence in the court. Although I believe in your ability, I don't think you will really have the energy to handle the internal and external affairs of the court at the same time."
"Well, I think it should be okay. I don't offend others, but if someone offends me, I have to take it back. This is how I always do things." Lu Yao thought for a while and said, this is indeed what he was thinking.
, if you don’t provoke others, then no one will provoke you.
Lu Xu shook his head and said: "The situation in the court is not as good as your business. It doesn't mean that if you don't provoke others and you do your job as an official, you will be fine. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Yao nodded and said: "I know what you mean. You mean that some people just don't like others. No matter whether you provoke them or not, as long as you have some achievements, you will be gossiped about."
Lu Xu said: "Yes, Cao You is a living example if others don't say it. He was demoted from the capital before. The fundamental reason is actually that he is an upright man and does not know how to adapt. Coupled with his identity, once he is reused by the emperor,
After that, many people will hate him."
"So, dad, what do you mean?" Lu Yao probably understood what his father was thinking.
Lu Xu said: "I think you now have the attitude of being a big tree and attracting the wind. In the entire Bianliang City, your reputation as Lu Yao is not just a household name, but it is almost the same. Everyone knows that you have solved the problem by establishing many industries.
Many people have employment problems, and then they immediately organized this new Cuju competition, which seems to be a success. Do you know why no one is stopping you from saying bad things about you now?"
"Because I haven't taken the imperial examination yet, everything I do is business and has not affected their interests and opinions." Lu Yao knew this very well.
Lu Xu nodded and said: "Yes, but you will take part in the palace examination soon. When the time comes to become an official in the court, the emperor will definitely use you. When the time comes, there will be many people who want to win you over and join you, or who will laugh at your jokes. When the time comes,
The more property you have, the more it will become a burden for you, and it will also become a weapon for others to drag you down. Do you understand? Therefore, you must consolidate your existing property and avoid corruption problems. On the other hand, I
I hope you will stop here and stop developing new industries. If you really have any ideas that can make money, just like before, just choose a partner and sell it to him directly for a sum of money."
"So, this is the purpose of why you came to talk to me today, Dad." At this point, Lu Yao finally understood the meaning of today's conversation.
