Chapter 21: Opening (2)

Manager Huang looked at Yi Fan’s cooking without blinking, and remembered the steps with his fingers. He almost took a piece of paper and wrote them one by one.

Yi Fan understood that this guy was here to steal the stolen master. According to the routine in the TV series, the eunuchs from the palace were all arrogant. This fat man was good. Not only did he come to congratulate himself on the opening ceremony, but he also gave him a beautiful pearl. The original purpose was this!

After slamming the spoon for a long time, Yi Fan's arms were sore. Looking at the fat man's fat and thick arms, Yi Fan felt that it would be a waste of time to use it. Since you want to learn, I will let you learn enough.

"Manager Huang, how do you think of my new cooking method?"

"Okay, very good. I didn't expect the dish to be done like this." The fat man stared at Yi Fan's movements and replied without thinking.

"Then should I try it if Manager Huang, too? I can also see the style of the imperial chef in the palace."

"Me?" the fat man pointed at his nose in disbelief.

"Yes." Yi Fan affirmed.

"Don't you mind?" the fat man said uncertainly.

"What do I mind? I'm a little tired, too."

Of course, the fat man is willing to do it. As long as he learns this novel cooking method, he will not have the final say in the imperial kitchen in the future.

"Okay, I'll try it. You'll give me some advice from the side."

"Okay." Yi Fan took off the hat and apron and handed it to the fat man. The fat man was not polite, so he took it and put it on for himself.

The two little eunuchs hurried over to help. After dressing up, the fat man shouted to the two little eunuchs: "Why are you still being stunned? Go and help add firewood, wash and cut vegetables? You don't have any strength at all."

Not to mention, this fat man is worthy of being an imperial chef. He is very good at cooking. The spoon looks a bit ugly. He has pushed out the things in the pot several times and burned a large blister on the back of his hand.

The fat man said it was okay, and he held the pot tightly, for fear that Yi Fan would drive him off the stove.

Of course Yi Fan would not drive him away. This was free labor, so it was too late to be happy. With the addition of the three fat men, the pressure in the kitchen was finally reduced.

Only when he was too busy would Yi Fan stir-fry a few dishes on another spare stove. In this way, the fat man was still unhappy, as if Yi Fan had snatched his business.

The pressure in the kitchen was less, but the boys who were running outside were so tired that they didn't even have time to drink water. Even Wu Meiniang, who was collecting money to settle the score, had she been in a small queue. If she hadn't learned Arabic numerals and four-character calculations, she would probably not even be able to collect the money.

Seeing this, Yi Fan hurried over to help. Everything can be slow, but it cannot be slow to collect money. What if someone is impatient to leave?

"Little shopkeeper, congratulations, it's a good start!"

Yi Fan was lying on the score, but when someone rejoiced, he looked up and saw a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks smiling at him.

Seeing that it was the man who was engaged in the intermediary, as the saying goes, he would not hit a smiley person, although this smiley face is very worthy of a beating.

Renyazi bowed and said, "These days, thanks to the shopkeeper taking care of the small business, so the little one has made some money. Today, the shopkeeper opened, and the little one has to say anything that the little one has to say is not."

Renya turned sideways, revealing the two little girls behind him. When he saw the two faces, Yi Fan was so scared that he almost screamed. Wu Meiniang, who was beside him, actually screamed, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time.

The two of them should be about the same size as Wu Meiniang, both of them are about fourteen or five years old, but this is the face! They can’t bear to look at them directly. One has a left face and the other has a big scar on their face.

Renyazi introduced: "These two were maids from wealthy families before. Because they made a mistake, they were punished by the master's family. This was how they looked like this. The master's family would naturally not want them anymore, so they were sold to me. Today is the day when the little shopkeeper opened. I knew that the little shopkeeper must be short of staff, so I brought them over and acted as a little one."

"Mei Niang, you can take the two girls in to wash, change your clothes, and then ask them to go to the kitchen to help!"

Yi Fan bowed his hand and said to Renyazi, "Thank you, brother."

"What's the matter with the little shopkeeper? If you have any problems in the future, just look for me." The man-tee slapped his ribs and his chest with a great sound.

Renyazi used his rat eyes to look at the two maids who were taken into the backyard by Wu Meiniang. Seeing that they disappeared from sight, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Yi Fan: "I won't disturb the little shopkeeper anymore. If there is still something to do at home, I will leave first."

Before Yi Fan could speak, the man was no longer there. He ran out of heaven and earth in one breath, and the man gasped and said to himself: "I finally sent these two money-lossing goods away."

Some time ago, he bought two women with greed for cheapness. In the slave market, these women are usually popular and the price is high. Although these two women have been destroyed, they are also women at least! They won’t lose money, right?

Unexpectedly, I really lost money. As long as I saw the faces of two women, no one would want to ask for them no matter how cheap they were. No one would ask for them for free, saying that I was afraid that I would be scared to death in the middle of the night.

If this is in modern times, no matter how ugly it is, some people will want it, because the ratio of men and women in modern times is seriously unbalanced. Besides, isn’t it just a scar on the face? It’s better than those with crooked heads, distorted limbs, and broken legs? At least you can work freely.

In ancient times, on the contrary, due to years of war, this war must be a matter for men. In this war, men died tens of thousands or tens of thousands, which caused the situation of more women and fewer men. Therefore, in ancient times, men could have three wives and four concubines. In the case of being picky, no one favored those with scars on their faces.

After seeing off the two women, the human teeth were relieved, otherwise the daily expenses would be a considerable expense.

After the second girl finished washing up, she went to the kitchen to help and asked Yi Yun to come out to run away. Just keep Yi Feng staring at the kitchen, and she gave the fat man a guide from time to time. She finally managed to get started.

Yi Fan also had the time to look through today's account books. When he saw that he did not sell distilled liquor very well, at least it was much worse than he expected. The most sold wine was the wine local to the Tang Dynasty that had not been distilled.

This puzzled Yi Fan, turned to Wu Meiniang and asked, "Mei Niang, why are our own wine not selling very well?"

? "My husband doesn't know that our wine is good. It is not only as clear as water, but also extremely fragrant. But the guests think it's too spicy and violent, and only a very small number of people can adapt.

Most of the people who bought our wine were curious and wanted to try it out. There were already several people who were choked and shed tears because the wine was too strong.”

Yi Fan nodded and said, "This is so popular!"
