Chapter 201 Recipes
Black smoke rolls!
When you are on the tea stall by Lugou Bridge, you can clearly see the large chimney in the distance, which is spewing rolling black smoke.
"Hey, we started working from Lugou Brick Factory."
"That's the big chimney of Lugou Brick Factory."
"As soon as the big chimney smoked, I don't know how many cellars stopped working and how many people lost their livelihoods."
"Old Liu, what are you talking nonsense? What does it mean to lose your livelihood? Didn't you see that the guys in Lijiajiao have all gone to the Lugou brickyard. They pile up blanks and transport bricks into the cellar, but they have to hire workers."
"Then Master Li lost so much that he couldn't even sell the bricks..."
"The bricks sold by him are 30% or 40% more expensive than Lugou Factory. Who can buy them..."
"That's right, the ones burned from Lugou Factory are red bricks, and the red bricks are stronger than the blue bricks..."
For many people, they just watch this fun, but for Zhang Taizheng, who is sitting on the tea stall, his eyes are staring at the towering chimney.
"Shi Yiwen..."
As he muttered this name, a sharp look flashed in Zhang Taizheng's eyes. Even though several months had passed, the humiliation that Shi Yiwen brought to him still made him feel angry whenever he thought of it.
Originally, for Zhang Taizheng, he hoped to marry Tang Ziqi and get the Tang family's family business. He was originally from a salt merchant family in Shanxi. It was very realistic to see things. The Tang family's family business was enough for him to benefit from for generations. Even his father was extremely supportive of this and he always took good care of the Tang family's business.
But the bitch was not grateful. While rejecting him, he actually mingled with the "fanman" from overseas. The two of them might have even hooked up and became a gangster. Thinking of this, Zhang Taizheng's face became even more ugly.
The slave beside him saw the change in the face of the young master and reminded him softly.
"Young master, the master told me that you must not cause any trouble in the past..."
When the slave at home took the master out to suppress him again, Zhang Taizheng raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to be annoyed, he suddenly felt as if he saw something and said in surprise.
"Hey! That's..."
After a moment of surprise, he muttered again.
"Didn't she say she went to the temple, why did she get here?"
Then he murmured to himself.
"Do they know each other?"
Although he didn't know how they met, Zhang Taizheng was still excited and even surprised and turned his head to the slave.
"Liuhe, follow the young master of the first...you can see where he is going."
"Young Master?"
Before Zhang Liuhe could talk, he heard Zhang Taizheng say.
"If you follow you, what's the point of following me?"
As he said this, he stared at the man's back and sneered on his face.
Zhang Jingxiu, who was riding on a horse, raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice when he saw the large chimney in the distance.
"I don't know what that man made."
Every time I see him, I always feel that this person can make something new. Perhaps it is this freshness that attracts him.
However, what disappointed Zhang Jingxiu today was that when he came to the factory, Shi Yiwen, who used to be in the factory, was not here today.
"In the village?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jingxiu raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
"Didn't this person stay in the factory in the past? Why did he stay in the farm today?"
He was unhappy and was not happy. He was naturally not convenient to enter the factory. He just asked casually. After knowing that the big chimney was a chimney of a brick cellar, he was confused and said goodbye to Xu Sicheng and went back to the city. However, before returning to the city, he went to the construction site of the "coal transport road" that he had specially visited. The coal prices in the capital have risen a while ago, but they were all written to the newspaper. According to the newspaper, as long as the "coal transport road" is built, the coal prices in the capital will immediately drop.
In fact, the coal transportation road has been built, just like a section between Wanping and the capital. On the compact roadbed, the black wooden tracks spread on the ground for dozens of miles, and even a layer of iron plate is nailed to the wooden tracks.
"This person can always come up with something new, but I don't know how this carriage can run on it?"
As for Shi Yiwen on the other side of the capital, of course he didn't know that his old friend went to the factory to find him. The reason why he stayed in the city these two days was that he was busy with another thing.
Because I had promised Zhu Yijun to open a restaurant for him to have dinner, but now after the restaurant is opened, I have encountered a problem - there is no good chef.
In fact, it is no wonder that the good chefs in the capital are either in the palace or in the powerful mansions. In contrast, other chefs have average skills. Because of this, Shi Yiwen specially sent the chefs in the village. They had received short-term guidance from Kou Yun and originally thought that they could still make peace, but they never thought that some things could make peace by just wanting to make peace.
Because the food cooked by the chefs in the restaurant was very average, Zhu Yijun was in a lack of interest after coming here a few times.
This failed. For Shi Yiwen, who always pays attention to the beginning and end of his work, of course he did not want to give up halfway through this. Of course, what is more important is that he cannot lose money. This is an investment of several thousand taels. It is said that it is to make Zhu Yijun fresh, but in the final analysis, he is also making money.
So, without any hesitation, after learning that the hotel had lost two months, especially after knowing that it had to pay hundreds of taels of silver every month, Shi Yiwen could tolerate the loss of "Yichenzhuang", especially his own brand with "Yichenzhuang".
This is so bragging, I have to come back.
After entering the kitchen, Shi Yiwen looked at the chef standing there and helped the chef. These people obviously knew the situation in the hotel now, and they all lowered their heads with shame. After all, the business of the hotel is directly related to the food. They were originally Zhuangzi's slaves in Zhuangzi, but now they have no shame to see the owner after losing money.
Seeing this, Shi Yiwencai said.
"Everyone sees how our "Yishanzhuang" business is now. The business of this restaurant is good or bad, one is the taste and the other is the dishes, but these two..."
Looking at the 20 dishes that they had to copy out on the table, it looked bad, but the taste was...it was really average, and the dishes were not new.
"It's not a good deal. Of course, I'm also blamed on this. After all, Koujia cuisine emphasizes exquisiteness and cannot be learned for a while. However, if Koujia cuisine cannot be learned, we can learn other dishes."
While speaking, Shi Yiwen took out a book and handed it to Xu Mingkun. He was the chef in the village and had been passed on to his generation for three generations. His cooking skills are indeed good. With the "local vegetables" of later generations, there must be a market, but now... it is not possible.
