Chapter 205: Hot Pot Launch
Watching the whole process of Mu Qingqing cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife can be described as smooth and pleasing to the eye.
The four apprentices were dazzled by what they saw, but they still stared at the way Mu Qingqing cut the vegetables without blinking.
Isn’t it so cool?!
Which chef in the kitchen can cut vegetables with such perfect artistic sense? !
If those young wives saw this beautiful scene of cutting vegetables, they would be overjoyed!
"Starting tomorrow, the rest of you should cut all the raw materials for the hot pot the same way I did and keep them ready. The next day when customers come to order, just bring them out from the kitchen. The essence of hot pot lies in the hot pot base! Other restaurants can't steal it even if they want to!" Mu Qingqing said as she took out a piece of Sichuan hot pot base from her sleeve.
Pao Yi came forward and sniffed the hot pot base fiercely, "Master, what is this red and yellow hot pot base made of? Why can't I smell it?"
Mu Qingqing looked at the big pot beside her where water was boiling and bubbling out continuously.
Just tear off the transparent packaging bag on the outside and throw it directly into the big pot.
The four apprentices stood in a semicircle around the big pot, watching the boiled water instantly turn into a rich red and yellow bottom, and they couldn't help but put their noses close to the bottom of the pot.
"Pa pa pa pa" Mu Qingqing slapped them on the head one by one and shouted angrily: "I don't want your heads anymore! How dare you get close to such scalding water!"
I have to say that the aroma of this Sichuan hot pot base is really tempting.
The four chefs, who had eaten some meat buns early in the morning, smelled the aroma of the hot pot and their appetite was aroused again.
Chunxiang skillfully put the raw materials cut by Mu Qingqing into the pot one by one, and took a few empty plates to give to the people present.
He took out the fastest-cooked slice of meat from the pot and said, "Master Chef, please try it first."
Pao Yi took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from his skirt pocket, picked up the slice of meat and put it directly into his mouth without caring whether it was hot or not.
Pao Yi was breathing heavily due to the heat while chewing the delicious food in his mouth.
My eyes are so bright, this piece of meat is so delicious!
It is fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and has just the right spicy flavor without being pungent.
Mu Qingqing hadn't had breakfast yet, so she took out a bag of cheese rice cakes and a handful of noodles from her sleeve and put them into the pot.
Several people were sweating profusely while eating, but they couldn't stop eating.
Shopkeeper Cai, who was doing the abacus in the lobby, looked at the sky and wondered why the boss hadn't come out for such a long time.
Could something happen?
No, I have to stay aside. I can’t let anything happen to the young master!
Shopkeeper Cai was born in the Qin family. If you ask why his surname was Cai instead of Qin, it was because he was the eldest son of Madam Qin (whose husband's surname was Cai), who was by Madam Qin's side.
When Shopkeeper Cai entered the backyard, he smelled an indescribable fragrance.
I walked forward following the smell and saw several people in the kitchen, busy around a big pot, taking vegetables out of the pot to eat.
"Boss, are you developing a new dish?" Shopkeeper Cai swallowed his saliva, took a few steps closer, and kept looking into the pot.
This big pot of bright red bubbling soup looks very spicy.
But it smells delicious!
Chunxiang picked up an empty plate and chopsticks from the side and handed them to Manager Cai.
Mu Qingqing had almost finished eating when she saw Shopkeeper Cai, who took out a price list for raw materials from his sleeve.
While taking out a black pen, he asked Shopkeeper Cai about the purchase price, and then based on the 30/70 rule, he quadrupled the price.
After finishing, ask Ali Jiujiu to quickly make a price list according to the new unit price.
After making dozens of copies, he took them out together with the price list of fresh seasonal vegetables, and walked to the yard with Chunxiang to wait for Manager Cai.
Shopkeeper Cai was a shrewd man. When he saw Mu Qingqing walk out of the kitchen, he put down his chopsticks and said, "Leave some for me, don't eat it all."
He wiped the corner of his mouth casually and strode towards Mu Qingqing, "Master, do you have anything to tell me?"
Mu Qingqing handed the price list in her hand to Manager Cai and explained everything about the hot pot to him in detail.
I also asked him about the placement of all the tables in Zui Xiang Lou so that I could buy the corresponding pots and fuel.
Before leaving, he told Shopkeeper Cai: "Just make hotpot recently. There's no need to change the decoration style. We can wait until next year. Put up two big-character posters at the door of the store today, and ask the waiters in the restaurant to go out and promote it."
After saying that, he took out two posters that he had prepared early in the morning and a large stack of promotional flyers from the carriage.
The advertisement contains the store name, address, consumption discounts, etc.
When Shopkeeper Cai saw the several promotional offers listed, his shrewd eyes suddenly lit up: Hey, why didn’t I think of that before?
The young master is truly worthy of being the old master's niece. She has so many tricks up her sleeve when it comes to doing business, and she may even be better than her master!
Anqi Hall has been very lively recently!
There were servants from several wealthy families waiting outside, waiting for Mu Qingqing to finish treating the victim and then ask Dr. Zheng about the patient's postoperative condition.
When Dr. Zheng praised me more than once: a miracle doctor, a man who brought the dead back to life, a master of medicine...
The ears of several people had become numb from listening to the stories, and they came to a conclusion: that is, Doctor Mu's medical skills had indeed reached the level of healing the dead and the bones.
They all went back to their houses to report the situation, and only the servants from the mansion of Marquis Bo Yi and the mansion of the Minister of Rites were still lingering at the gate of Anqi Hall.
It’s not that they want to come here to wait for Mu Qingqing, it’s just that the master of the house has gone crazy in the past two days.
As the pimples on my face became more and more numerous and larger, and my body became more and more itchy, the several doctors I invited in were all helpless.
If this continues, you won’t be able to attend the palace’s annual banquet.
How does this work? !
I heard that the Queen intends to find a Crown Princess for the Crown Prince at this year's annual banquet.
Even if I can't be the Crown Princess, being a Liangyuan, Liangdi, or Crown Prince's concubine would be fine.
If my face was always festering and oozing with pus, how could I possibly catch the eye of the prince? !
After careful consideration, Chen Ling'er pestered her father and said all kinds of nice things to him (if she could marry the prince, she would definitely support her father in the future), and only then did she get the signature of the Minister of Rites and the housekeeper for 12,000 taels of gold.
For the eldest daughter of Bo Yihou's mansion, ten thousand taels of gold is really not a big deal.
She just needed to talk to the housekeeper and he would send the gold directly to her Weiya Garden for her to enjoy.
As for Pan Zhihua from Minister Pan's family, she was at a loss as to what to do and wasted time staring at her mother.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Pan was not in power, and the power of the family was occupied by the vixen in the mansion. She only had a few small shops that she brought as a dowry, and she didn't have much spare money to support her daughter.
