Anping, the capital of the Great Wu Dynasty, was a prosperous city where merchants gathered and traffic was busy.
Located in the most prosperous street in the capital of Changping Street, there is a gatehouse repaired quite magnificently, there is a stone lion next to the vermilion gate next to the two-storey small building, this is the capital of the famous "Immortal Pavilion".
The owner of Shixian Pavilion is a white and chubby man in his early forties, surnamed Sun Fugui, and his nickname is Sun Fatzi.
His ancestors were originally farmers, to his father's generation, his hometown suffered a disaster, to the capital to seek refuge with relatives, his father was sent to the restaurant at the age of seven or eight to learn to cook, this person is very smart and diligent, sixteen or seventeen years old has become a chef with red and white cases, and then the only daughter of the restaurant owner somehow fell in love with him, and was recruited by the boss as a son-in-law.
A few years later, the boss died, the restaurant fell into his hands, he is a good drill camp person, often research and invent new dishes by himself, plus a lifetime of thrift, save money to build a big restaurant, but unfortunately the building was not built, he died of illness.
Fortunately, Sun Fatzi is angry, doing business with a lively heart, and finally built today's two-story restaurant, because it is a time-honored brand, there are indeed a few signature dishes in the store, Sun Fatzi is good at tying up the powerful, come and go, and the reputation in the capital will also have, and there are three or four officials to eat in his restaurant.
Shixian Pavilion has slowly become a well-known restaurant in the capital.
But there is still a gap compared to the big restaurants across the street.
Today, Sun Fatzi's concubine just gave birth to a big fat son for him, and he couldn't close his mouth happily, so he didn't go to the front restaurant to say hello, and poured himself a drink in the backyard.
The maid came to him and said, "Master, the master of the restaurant in front asked you to go for a while, saying that a few young masters have come, and I have to see you." ” Sun Fatzi didn't dare to slack off, maybe it was the noble son of an official master, so he stood up and walked out quickly.
When he came to the front hall of the restaurant, Xiao Er told him that those people were in the back kitchen, and he was a little flustered.
Who will go to the back kitchen when eating?
In the back kitchen, it was a different scene, because it was not yet dinner, and the cooks and handymen were chatting, but now they were busy, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables.
A young man with a dark face but a very gorgeous dress sat idly, and two men dressed as little men were making charcoal for a strange iron fellow, and the other was mixing sesame paste with garlic pounded by the servants, and divided the bowls according to the number of people.
When Sun Fatzi arrived, he smelled a strange fragrance in the back kitchen.
The black-faced son, as soon as he saw the boss coming, stood up idly, and when Sun Fatzi saw what he was wearing, he walked a few steps to the front of him and saluted, and said: "I don't know what is the matter with this noble son looking for a little one?"
Let's go to the private room in the front and talk, how can the messy place in the back let you be here?
” "Boss Sun doesn't have to be polite, my son is a person with good food, I have time to come here today to invite Boss Sun to taste the food I invented, and I want Boss Sun and the masters to see the prospects for promotion?"
The black-faced boy said politely Boss Sun wanted to say something, but the seasoning guy had already stretched out his hand to him and said loudly: "Boss Sun, please!"
” The little guy briefly said how to eat, Boss Sun picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and quickly motioned to the chefs to taste it too.
When the black-faced boy and his party walked out of the "Immortal Pavilion", the business had already been negotiated.
Sun Fatzi personally sent them to the door.
As soon as the carriage started, the little girl dressed by Qiu Yue couldn't help laughing: "Miss, you are really good!"
The owner of the restaurant said that he moved, and he ordered ten pots with us at once, and paid a deposit. ” Xiaocui was also very excited: "Miss, we have to be busy."
As long as you can make money, you will be happy to be tired!
” Xiao Yao kept pursing her lips and laughing, she also had a sense of accomplishment in her heart, whether it was in her previous life or in this life, this was the first business she had done, Sun Fatzi was not simple, she obviously wanted to set up a business, but she deliberately pretended to be able to do it or not, if she hadn't said that she would go to the drunken incense building opposite to ask someone to taste it, he would still want to bully her into being young and not understanding the market.
When ordering, he repeatedly lowered the price, Xiao Yao picked up the pen and calculated a profit for him, so he had to sign the contract at Xiao Yao's price.
A deposit was paid.
As a token, Xiao Yao left an iron pot and a jar of base materials.
She knew that this old fox would definitely let his cook study the base, and if he cracked the base, Xiao Yao's money-making plan would go bankrupt.
However, Xiao Yao is still confident, in order to make it difficult for people to imitate, she fried and ground the main spices and added them to the base, and specially asked Xiaocui to add a little ground white rice flour and flour to the pot.
It's harmless, but it also confuses the eye and makes it confusing for what it is.
If this still can't be prevented, Xiao Yao has no choice but to consider himself unlucky.
Shixian Pavilion is the restaurant that they chose for a long time, and the reason why Xiao Yao didn't choose the drunken incense building opposite is that he thinks that the big restaurant is very famous, which is generally more difficult to deal with, more arrogant, and will be embarrassed to behave.
It's not as good as a small restaurant to make money, easy to communicate, and quick to make decisions, she doesn't have a lot of time to negotiate with them.
This Shixian Pavilion belongs to a mid-range restaurant, if the hot pot is made, it will soon be pushed to the ranks of the big restaurants, the boss makes money, the restaurant is also on the grade, will be more willing to cooperate with themselves, and are also willing to abide by their own confidentiality agreements.
Xiao Yao asked the coachman to drive the car fast, and asked Cao Zhong to take herself to the coppersmith, she had roughly figured out the ancient currency system from Qiu Ju, one tael of silver is actually a lot of money, the coppersmith opened his mouth to ask for two taels of silver is really a lion's mouth, but he laughed that he also added half a tael to him, and today he wants to get back the extra money he gave.
When he arrived at the coppersmith's house, the coppersmith happened to go out, his younger brother was there, and his younger brother looked like a loyal person, and saw Cao Zhong leading a few people, so he hurriedly let him into the house, Xiao Yao saw at a glance that on the broken table in the house, there was the pot she wanted.
The things are quite exquisite, but I didn't expect this person to be of good character and his craftsmanship is not bad.
Looking around his home, he looks very poor and can't see anything decent.
Cao Zhong asked where his brother was, and he had come to pick up something custom-made today.
The younger brother said with a sad face: "The old lady is sick, and my brother took the old lady to see the doctor."
Your things have been ready, and my brother said that you can take them after paying the money. ” Xiao Yao saw that the coppersmith himself was not there, so he had to ask Xiao Cui to pay two halves of silver, and he didn't want to customize it with him, so he was going to find another one. took the copper pot out, and met a big man with a beard on his face, he was carrying a thin old lady on his back, and when Xiao Yao turned sideways to give way, he caught a glimpse of tears on his face.
I couldn't help but feel shocked.
How could such a big man not hide his sadness?

As soon as he took two steps, he heard an exclamation from the house: "Brother!
What's wrong with my mother?
Why are you crying?
” Xiao Yao couldn't hear the big man crying, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, left the coppersmith's house, got into the carriage, and then said to Cao Zhong, who was following behind: "You go to see the coppersmith's mother, and ask her what kind of disease she has and what symptoms she has."
Maybe there's a way to cure it.
But don't promise them anything. ” It took a while for Cao Zhong to return.
Xiao Yao asked him to go back and talk about it, and drove the carriage to the blacksmith's house, Xiao Yao customized thirty pots at the price of 400 wen per iron pot, and paid a fixed fee to get the first batch of ten pots after five days.
(Xiao Yao has learned that one tael of silver in the Wu Dynasty = consistent copper coins = ten coins of silver = one thousand copper coins.)
In this era, thirty copper coins can buy a kitchen knife, and four hundred wen can buy a hot pot, and the price is not low.
What's more, it's still a bulk order?
The blacksmith was satisfied that he had taken such a large order, and Xiao Yao told him that if he did it well, he might be able to make some more.
The blacksmith happily promised to do it well.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Xiao Yao and the others rushed to a tofu workshop non-stop, which was introduced by Cao Zhong, saying that the tofu skin of this house tastes delicious.
On the way, Xiao Yao and Xiaocui Qiuyue ate some snacks to pad their stomachs, and bought a few steamed buns for the coachman and Cao Zhong, there was really no time to eat, Xiao Yao didn't want to overtime the first time out of the house, which made the princess worried, so it would be difficult to come out in the future.
After ordering tofu and tofu skin, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yao hurriedly called the coachman to drive home, and when he got off the car, Xiao Yao asked Xiaocui to give the coachman a penny of silver, one was to thank him for his hard work with them all day, and then to tell him not to tell anyone about today's incident, and the princess said that she was playing on the street when she asked.
