Chapter 307: A Century-Old Store
Several people from Lu visited Yunyao. They originally wanted to bring Yunyao back to Lu, but they listened to Yunyao's earnest learning of Qi's words imitating Guan Zhong, and they all impressed that Lu really needed to change.
The development of Qi State is not only a model for Lu State, but also around the countries should learn from it.
Guan Zhong knew that Yunyao advised Lu to learn from Qi, and he couldn't help but say that Yunyao did not forget his original intention. It was lucky that Lu had this Jurchen, and he praised Yunyao more and more.
People from Shandong also come to visit from time to time to listen to Yun Yao’s suggestions.
Yun Yao simply asked a few people from Lu to build a Lu people's museum to help Lu people who made a living in Qi. The people of Lu applauded and paid and worked hard to build the first Lu people's museum in Linzi. Any people in Qi could eat and live here for free.
Guan Zhong saw that this model was good, so he also went abroad to build many Qi people's halls. When other countries saw that they also built their own museums, so the Chu people's hall and Jin people's hall appeared in Linzi again...
For a time, various countries had offices, and Yunyao thought to himself whether he had promoted the construction of the embassy?
On this day, Jian Wu, a native of Lu, visited Yunyao again, but this time he was the only one, obviously coming to visit for personal issues.
Yunyao was also patient, not knowing what Jian Wu had: "If you have anything, just tell me."
Jian Wu bowed and said, "I heard that your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world. Even the king of Qi likes the dishes you cook. I wonder if I can sell the recipe to me and let me recreate the essence of Shandong cuisine in the Lu people's hall."
It turned out that the recipe was requested, but Yunyao's skills were not something that ordinary people could copy. Even if there was a complete recipe, it would not be possible to reproduce 100%.
Because Yunyao's recipe has long been no secret, it has been circulated.
"If you want my recipe, you can go to the 'Yuelai Inn' in Linzi City East to learn cooking skills and learn the same skills as me." Yun Yao said.
"Yuelai Inn? But the mysterious inn that is open all over the country and even the countryside is always seen?" Jian Wu said in surprise.
"Yes, my skills were also learned by Yuelai Inn, and they are not mysterious. They are just ordinary century-old shops, but there are a large number of them."
"It turns out that your craft was also learned from Yuelai Inn. But I have also eaten it once or twice. Although the food at Yuelai Inn tastes good, it is definitely not amazing." Jian Wu suspected that Yuelai Inn's craftsmanship was not as good as Yun Yao.
In fact, it is the same, because at the beginning, the chef skills of Yuelai Inn were taught by Yunyao step by step. Although a hundred years have passed, inns in various countries have developed different flavors, the foundation of cooking skills is the same, but the lack of Yunyao's cultivation and ingredients. But Yunyao can guarantee that he will definitely not be wrong to go to Yuelai Inn to learn cooking skills.
"In addition to my skills, I naturally have various rare ingredients to cook for the Prime Minister and the King. The essence of agriculture, wild game in the forest, fat beasts in the pastoral, the essence of the secondary, the sea goods in fishing, the craftsmanship, spices in merchants, and the delicacies in trade. The ability of my cooking skills to have such a high evaluation is also due to the financial resources of the Prime Minister." Yun Yao said modestly: "So if you really want to learn cooking, you can go to Yuelai Inn to study, and you will definitely learn skills."
Jian Wu naturally knew that Guan Zhong was rich and powerful in the enemy country. Hearing Yunyao said this, he knew that Yunyao's reputation was also stacked with the money of the Prime Minister, not a castle in the air. He immediately thanked Yunyao and thanked her for her guidance: "So that's it, I understand. Now I go to Yuelai Inn for advice."
"I'll engrave a letter of recommendation for you." Yunyao picked up the engraving knife and bamboo slips and engraved the letter of recommendation.
Jian Wu went to Yuelai Inn to study with a letter of recommendation. Yuelai Inn naturally taught cooking skills, because Yuelai Inn is not only an inn, but also an intelligence network stationed by Yun Yao'an in various places. The two people develop at the same time, both of which are on missions, not only for making money, but also for collecting intelligence and cultivating influence.
Now that Qi's economy is improving, the Yuelai Inn in Qi's country is also rising and making great progress.
However, when the inn shopkeeper saw that it was Yun Yao’s recommendation letter, he did not dare to neglect and immediately arranged for Jian Wu to study. If he wanted to buy the recipe, he would also sell it happily, and there was no intention of hiding it privately.
Jian Wu was very impressed and said, "No wonder Yuelai Inn can be opened all over the country. This kind of demeanor is very comparable." However, he did not take the recipe and left, but calmed down and stayed at Yuelai Inn to study.
Jian Wu found that besides himself, there were many people who came to learn cooking skills, which shocked him. Because according to his idea, the less you know about cooking skills, the more precious it is. How can you teach it casually?
Obviously, people in this era do not understand Yunyao’s ideas, but in fact, the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn did not understand very well. If they had not been absolutely obedient to Yunyao, they would have chosen to have a view of the world and cherish it themselves. After all, there was no patent protection in this era, and it was their ability to learn it. The matter of teaching disciples to starve their master to death has begun to happen.
Spring and Autumn Festival are the beginning of the intra-copying, but Yunyao still asked Yuelai Inn to teach more students. Because she did not rely on Yuelai Inn to make money, and she knew that Yuelai Inn had already formed a scale in various countries and became a leader in the catering industry, and she was not short of money at all.
As long as you master the right to formulate industry rules, you can lead the trend of food, and to do this, you must be tolerant and open.
Besides, Yuelai Inn started to be opened a hundred years ago. It is the first private inn in the Central Plains and has completed its original accumulation. In fact, the state-owned inn can compete with Yuelai Inn. If a private inn wants to be on par with Yuelai Inn, it will take a while for a private inn to be on par with Yuelai Inn. Unless there is a wealthy investment, the catering industry will still have the final say in Yuelai Inn. After all, the state-owned inn system is rigid and there is no service attitude at all.
Yunyao is the manager of a state-owned thatched cottage. He knows best that state-owned cottages are just enough to eat, so it is not comfortable. In Linzi, the biggest competitor of Yuelai Inn is Nulu. Single-wheeled food Nulu is naturally not a rival, but with the fallen women, Nulu's competitiveness is invincible.
However, Yuelai Inn does not need to rely on these fancy ones. As long as you insist on cooking delicious food and diner experience, you will definitely be able to continue to operate.
Jian Wu admired Yuelai Inn for his uninhibited courage and worked hard to bring delicious food to the people of Shandong who went to the Shandong Pavilion, and strive to allow foreigners to eat the taste of their hometown.
The busyness of Yuelai Inn proves the wealth of Linzi. In the past, the East was centered on Lu, because Lu was the starting point for the spread of Zhou rites in the East. But now the center of the East is Qi, which is Linzi. The wealth of the world gathers, and the culture of Qi also spreads with its economic strength, surpassing the Confucian culture represented by Lu for a time.
