Chapter 11 Restaurant


Shi Taigong looked at the table full of dishes he had never heard of or seen before, and said: "Da Lang, how did you come up with these dishes?"

Shi Jin had already thought of a countermeasure and said, "Many of these dishes were thought up by lay people from Dongpo.

For example, this dish is called Dongpo Pork."

Su Shi was very famous during the reign of Emperor Weizong of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, his poetry and prose were widely spread, and Taigong Shi had also heard rumors about his good food.

When Shi Jin said that Su Shi came up with it and even the name of the dish was Dongpo Pork, Shi Taigong immediately believed it.

After all, Shi Taigong is getting old.

Even if he likes to eat things like sauced pork ribs, he doesn’t eat much.

As for the braised pork with pickled vegetables and Dongpo pork, they were soft and delicious, just in line with his taste.

After eating these delicious dishes, Shi Taigong had a great appetite and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Seeing that Shi Taigong was eating well, Shi Jin hurriedly said, "If father likes to eat, there are other dishes.

I will prepare those few seasonings and let father try them."

Shi Taigong said happily, "My son is determined."

In the thatched cottage in the front yard, I heard Mr.

Shi Taigong in the middle yard moving his chopsticks.

The banker's servants couldn't bear it any longer, and they dropped their chopsticks like flying balls.

Eating large pieces of meat and drinking soup from large bowls, everyone had their mouths full of fat, which was very hearty.

When they were eating to their heart's content, some people simply rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, attacked the vegetables in the tub, and put them into their mouths as hard as they could.

When we got to the back, there were several people arguing so hard that they were blushing and red-necked over a piece of fat meat.

When the moonlight came up, all the dishes on the table were eaten.

Both of them were panting with their big bellies, and there wasn't even any soup left in the basin.

Even in the end, one of the bankers was not satisfied with the meal and just picked up the plate and licked it.

In the middle courtyard, after Shi Jin had eaten his fill, he wiped away the grease from his mouth with the cloth brought by his servants.

He asked his servants to bring tea, and drank tea with Shi Taigong to relieve the greasiness.

Seeing everyone eating so happily, Shi Jin became more confident in his career of raising pigs and opening a restaurant.

It's okay to have these 70 bankers now, but I will never be satisfied with just recruiting these few bankers.

In the future, he will have to recruit more dealers, and selling private salt alone will not be enough after all.

If you want to expand your financial resources, opening a restaurant is a good choice.

As long as it introduces modern dishes, it will be difficult for restaurants to become popular.

Shi Jin said, "Father, I think it would be very profitable for our Shi family to open a restaurant."

Shi Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Yes, yes, as long as these dishes are introduced, the restaurant will be full of guests.

With the restaurant, our Shi family will have another income."

Although selling salt is very profitable, Shi Dalang is also very capable of spending money.

Seeing Shi Dalang spending money like water, Shi Fu was very heartbroken.

It was a waste to spend so much money to support so many idle people.

If it were less than half, it would save so much money.

How much land could the Shi family buy in a year?

By then, not to mention the Quan Yongxing Military Route to Huazhou, at least there would be numerous big landowners in Huayin County.

Hey, it means that Shi Dalang is the only son in the family, so Taigong Shi will indulge him in this way and spoil him in everything.

However, as the Shi family’s housekeeper, I must help the Shi family take good care of this home.

Advise Shi Jin to buy more land and bless his descendants When he heard that he wanted to open a restaurant, Shi Fu was the first to agree.

Shi Taigong looked at Shi Jin and said, "Since you all agreed, let's go and do it."

Although Shi Fu was more concerned about running the restaurant than Shi Jin, Shi Jin knew better how to attract customers and how to prepare the dishes.

While Shi Jin conducted surprise training for the chefs in the village, he personally inspected Huayin County.

Finally, in Huayin County, not far from the city gate of Chang'an, I spent money to buy a two-story wooden building with three rooms.

In order to make the whole restaurant upscale, the style is more extraordinary.

Shi Jin referred to some decorations in modern restaurants and asked people to renovate the inside and outside of the house.

After renovation, the restaurant has overhanging eaves and is magnificent.

There is a wine bar at the door, fluttering in the wind.

The two couplets in front of the door are the couplets Shi Jin saw when he was playing a waiter in a Qing Dynasty drama.

He was so impressed that he used it.

The first couplet reads: Dismount after smelling the fragrance.

The second line reads: Stop the car knowing the taste.

On the signboard hanging on the gatehouse, you can see three big red letters from a distance: Fuchun Tower In addition to the magnificent decoration of Fuchun Tower, it is endless to see.

Shi Jin also put a lot of thought into how to retain diners.

If a restaurant wants to retain diners, food is the top priority.

In addition to ensuring that the ingredients are fresh and safe, he also puts a lot of thought into the dishes.

The Mengxi Bi Tan Volume 24 written by Shen Kuo, a scientist and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, recorded: "People from the south like salty food, while people from the north like sweet food.

Adding fish and crabs to molasses is also suitable for northern customs."

During the Song Dynasty, most northerners liked sweet food, while southerners liked salty food.

Therefore, the dishes Shi Jin initially formulated were sweeter and more fragrant.

The meat is stuffed with pickles and vegetables.

The meat is rotten and fragrant.

It tastes salty and slightly sweet, fat but not greasy.

Dongpo pork is thin-skinned and tender, bright red in color, rich in flavor and juicy, crispy but not broken, fragrant and glutinous but not greasy.

Crispy fried large intestine, crispy skin and tender meat, rich and delicious.

Salt-baked chicken has a simple and unique preparation method, rich flavor, crisp skin and smooth meat, slightly yellow color, crispy skin and tender meat, fresh bones and meat, and attractive flavor.

In addition to these, of course, the specialty dishes of Northwest cuisine are indispensable.

The Roujiamo is made with cured meat.

The bun is fragrant and crispy, fat but not greasy, and has an endless aftertaste.

The mutton is soaked in steamed buns, carefully cooked, the ingredients are heavy and mellow, the meat is rotten and the soup is thick, fat but not greasy, rich in nutrients, full of aroma, tempting appetite, and endless aftertaste after eating.

It is a pity that pepper has not been introduced to China during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, Shi Jin can come up with more delicious dishes.

But even without the chili peppers, Shi Jin believed that his restaurant's business would not be bad just based on the Roujiamo and mutton steamed buns.

The time spans nearly a thousand years, but the dishes that even modern people can conquer can definitely conquer the people of the Song Dynasty.

In addition to selecting dishes, Shi Jin also borrows modern marketing methods.

When Shi Jin asked his servants to go out to buy goods or do errands, he told everyone he met that Fuchunlou had invited a disciple of the royal chef from the palace to cook delicious dishes, and everyone who ate them praised them.

A big pot was erected at the entrance of the shop, and the skilled chef was flying up and down with a sharp sharp knife.

A sheep was quickly reduced to a skeleton.

The skeleton was chopped off with a multi-bone knife and thrown into a large pot to make soup.

Add minced onions, candied garlic, day lily, green garlic, coriander and pepper The aroma soon filled the entire street.

Smelling this aroma, people who are not hungry will become hungry During meal time, Shi Jin also brought a few well-behaved servants to the restaurant to pretend to be diners, creating a lively atmosphere in the restaurant.

The people passing by saw the Fuchun Tower filled with fragrance, the hall full, and the popularity, and they couldn't help but walk in
