The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1154 [1153] Taste little lady 47 (4000+)

In ancient times, how to use ice in summer?How did those palaces rely on ice to remove heat in summer?
In fact, the ice is stored in the winter and then used in the summer.

They will cut the ice into pieces on the river surface, then float on the water surface, let it continue to freeze, and when the thickness reaches a meter or more, people will transport the ice blocks to the pre-dug cellar.

Of course, there are also requirements for the depth of the cellar. It is too shallow, preferably 4-5 meters. At the same time, the cellar should also be well insulated, and sawdust and other things should be placed in the middle of each ice cube to prevent them from freezing together.

The ice in the cellar is usually very full, so that the ice cubes can be used in summer or sold.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, people discovered that putting saltpeter in water would freeze, so that the ancients could make ice.

The chemical name of saltpeter is potassium nitrate. When it dissolves in water, it absorbs heat and lowers the temperature, so the water in the small basin will freeze.

But this is an empty dynasty. Judging from the strange expressions on their faces when they entered the house, it is clear that they do not know the great effect of saltpeter.

Of course, she will not miss this opportunity to make a lot of money, let alone give away the money in a stupid way.

The prerequisite is to find enough saltpeter, so until you find or buy enough saltpeter, their ice is only for your own restaurant.

It was also that she found a good time for her own business. Others may think that it is inappropriate to open a store in summer, and the food will deteriorate if it cannot be sold, but it is impossible for them to exist in their home. If it cannot be sold, or the leftover food, It can be stored directly in the ice cellar with a bucket.

Because iced food is so popular, she specially vacated a place on the first floor of their Bazhen Building, which is the front desk, to make iced food. There are many famous families who come to take out, although they have a lot of brains variety, but in order to ensure that new products are sold every once in a while, she controls the menu methodically.

Iced sour plum soup, mung bean sorbet (dim sum), hot and sour jelly, spicy cold noodles, rice skin, and cold skin are the most popular foods in the first month of opening.

Diners who come here almost must order these.

And their main dishes are not high-end and elegant enough, but one by one is more down-to-earth, and the key is that many ingredients cannot be bought by outsiders.

For example, corn in pork rib soup, hot and sour potato shreds, meat wrapped in lettuce, tomato in eggplant stewed potatoes, cauliflower in cauliflower fried pork slices, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root that is hard to find this season, dumplings stuffed with celery, pickled Chili cucumber strips, their original mapo tofu, stinky tofu curd, fried bamboo shoots, banana pudding, milk pudding, shredded sweet potatoes, casserole potato noodles, pork stew vermicelli...

Among these ingredients, what kind of powder is used to make jelly that is so unpredictable to colleagues?

The rice skin and noodle skin have not been figured out yet, so what is the origin of the gluten bubbles inside?
Not to mention the exotic species such as corn, sweet potato, potato, lettuce, tomato, and cauliflower.

So, you can see that her food doesn't seem very delicate, but you can't tell the origin of these ingredients.

And you can't say that the food made by others is not delicious, it is not only delicious, but also makes people want to stop.

To be able to achieve this level of food is definitely an alternative in the world of cooks!
They really wanted to find out who the boss of the Bazhen Building was, but those people were very strict, and they didn't leak a word after a long time.

Because the ingredients are limited every day, they usually sell out until they are sold out. Basically, there is not much left in less than half an hour after lunch.

In addition to iced food and pastries, even stir-fried dishes in restaurants are often in short supply.

In the evening, they are much more relaxed, selling egg-filled pancakes, flour noodles, fragrant small wontons, and muddled noodles to finish.

Because the food in Bazhen Building is delicious, there are many varieties, the price is affordable, and there are no private rooms or tables. The upstairs and downstairs are all lobby, so the business is very good. It only took a month to regain popularity.

Lin Sen also led people all the way to the south to explore the road. The first trip was mainly to see what goods were suitable for transporting to the north.

Shen Qing, a small boss, is not the first day of catering. She is vigorous and decisive, and rewards and punishments are clear. Although she bought these people, as long as they do a good job, they will give bonuses every month in addition to the monthly silver. This not only made everyone energetic, but also twisted into a rope.

Because Shen Qing had already spoken harshly towards the traitor, no matter where she went to the ends of the earth, she would kill him!
No one dares to underestimate the aura emanating from such a young age.

Comparing the past few months they have been together, they all agree that she is a good master.

Everyone has a head for life, who will do those things that are not thankful?
Therefore, not only was it not easy for outsiders to get something from the guys at Bazhen Building, but they would turn around and get their information out, and then told Shen Qing about it.

Shen Qing's solution to this overt and covert threat was to keep her profile as low as possible.

Her low-keyness is reflected in the down-to-earth food she makes. Regardless of the high-end name, the average consumption of their family is only a few tens of pennies. How many restaurants can you eat for a few tens of pennies?
Is it enough to give the chef and the guys monthly silver?
As everyone knows, volume is the best start to maintain popularity!
With iced food, the charcoal fire saves a lot.

A suitable house has not yet been found, but the shop next to it is about to be sold outside. Although it is not as big as theirs, it is still two floors with a backyard. A place to work and rest.

She planned to open a grocery store for the small shop in front, and prepare for Lin Sen's distribution. After bargaining, she finally settled for 1000 taels.

The shop will not be open for the time being, and I don't know what varieties will be sold in the future, so I don't want to decorate it. It won't be too late to think about it when Lin Sen comes back.

The location of this shop is not good, but with the fire of their restaurant, maybe this small shop can be stimulated.

She opened a door between the big courtyard and the small courtyard, vacating the main room in the big courtyard and turning it into a staff dormitory.

On the other hand, she moved into the small courtyard. The small courtyard was remodeled by her to be full of pastoral flavor. There were only two rooms, one for sleeping and one for office.

There is a well in the yard, as well as a small kitchen and a hut, and a grapevine in the middle, which seems to be a standard configuration for shops in this area.

After finding someone to repaint and repair it, I moved in.

Grandpa and grandma are spending their old age in Zhuangzi, and with those women taking care of them, she is very relieved when she goes back to visit occasionally.

Whatever delicious food she made, she would generously let people take it back for them to taste. Grandpa and grandma would definitely not be able to finish it all. Naturally, whoever took care of it well would be rewarded by grandpa and grandma.

They were originally from aristocratic backgrounds, so they are much more skilled than Shen Qing in how to be masters.

In mid-July, Shen Qing began to sell ice. A large ice lump weighing ten catties cost five hundred cash, which was not affordable enough.

Anyway, those who can afford ice are originally from rich families. Since they are rich and want to live comfortably, they must buy it no matter how much they pay. Her price is much cheaper than ice professionally obtained in winter.

Sure enough, as soon as the small shop opened its doors and started the business of selling ice, it was easy to earn 20 taels a day, which is not much.

The first three days were to test the waters. Later, she simply implemented the reservation system. While paying the deposit in advance, she could make as much as she needed. This would save the ice from melting, and most importantly, she could use this method to guard against villains.

It's not her villainous mind, because some people really can't see her so-called arrogance, and ordered 500 catties of ice, 100 catties are [-] taels of silver, and a deposit of [-] taels is paid in advance.

As a result, she spent a whole night in the space, and finally made it within the stipulated time, but no one came?

When it got dark, no one came to pick up the goods for a whole day.

This is obviously to cheat her, but is she afraid?

She can make ice, but if she can't sell it, will she melt it?
It is inevitable that there is not such a big ice cellar, so she stuffed it directly into the space, sat at the door and ate melon seeds, and it was over.

Those who probed their brains must have come to inquire about the news, and she didn't expose it, she just waited leisurely.

Anyway, whenever they come, the ice can be released and let them carry it away.

She doesn't deliver it to your door, and she doesn't beg you. If you want it, you want it. If you don't come to me, I will return half of your deposit.

But if you break the contract first, don't be afraid that my mother will negotiate compensation with you with the contract.

Those who want to deal with her by showing off their power and power have to ask her if she agrees with her skills.

She comes and goes without a trace, if you dare to smash my shop, I can touch your house at night, shave your head, and make your warehouse completely empty by the way.

Therefore, whoever bullies her and smashes her shop, she will choose to be silent, stop her people, and prevent them from confronting them head-on, because it is unwise to resist in front of these powerful people, but this does not mean that she is easy to bully , her return is silent, and it is also something they can't find.

Because of this, Bazhen Building was opened for four months from May to August, and it was smashed six times.

As long as she is smashed, she is happy, because it means that the compensation will be in place.

After a long time, these people felt that something was wrong, and some people came to her to test her.

At this time, she looked at them with a smile and said: "If you don't offend me, I won't offend you. If you have evidence, you can arrest me. If you don't have evidence, you can only suffer from being dumb. Who told you to come to my door and give me money?" Well, isn’t it? I open my shop, and it’s none of your business? Why do you come to find me bad luck if you have nothing to do? If I don’t teach you how to be a human being, let you get a profound lesson, and you will keep coming to me in the future Giving money, I can't stand it! Go back and tell your master, don't mess with me, huh?"

In Bazhen Building, Shen Qing always had a disguised face, so they only knew that she was young, but they never knew that her face was fake.

They failed to do chores and tried to poison, but they didn't know that the people she bought were all cursed by her. She could detect that anyone was a little bit wrong, and then prevent it in advance, and maybe even fight back .

After four months, she sent the two traitors in her shop to prison. She would not take the initiative to kill them, but she would use tricks to make them be killed by the people behind the scenes.

With the lessons learned from these few times, the remaining people have become more honest and loyal.

In September, which was still hot, one day, Yu Jingtian, whom she hadn't seen for half a year, appeared in her shop with a mustache and a straw hat. Although she had changed his appearance, she still recognized him at a glance.

"My God, how did you find it? Where have you been these days!"

Yu Jingtian was very happy to be recognized, but turned his head and pouted arrogantly: "You live such a good life, why do you think of me?"

Shen Qing was speechless: "I stick my ass up every day, and I'm exhausted. You still say that I live a good life? This is all Lin Sen's investment, and I'm just a part-time worker,"

It's okay not to mention Lin Sen, but when Lin Sen is mentioned, he is even more unhappy: "That kid, he was born to restrain me, my brother who I worked so hard to raise, he is good, he will kill people without saying anything. I coaxed away five of them, what do you think a child with a big fart can do?"

Shen Qing stared blankly at him: "A man should aim everywhere, so what's the point of hiding in the village and farming? It's not a girl's house, so what's so easy to do with protection? If they don't go out and wander, they're just sitting in a well and watching the sky. Frogs, maybe they think How big is the sky?"

Yu Jingtian made it clear that he didn't want to hear her say Lin Sen was good, "I'm tired, is there a place to rest?"

Shen Qing quickly got him to the backyard, found an empty bed for him to lie down and rest, and brought him cold dishes and noodles. It wasn't a fake beard, it was real, and he stared straight at that moment.

"You are young, why are you dressing yourself up so old?"

Yu Jingtian's expression changed slightly, but he said casually: "I think this is pretty good, just like you are becoming more and more like a man."

Seeing that he is very tired, it is not easy to disturb: "This room has not been checked in yet, you are the only one, you have a good rest, wake up and go to the next door to find me, tell me what happened to you during this time, and What are your plans for the future?"

But Yu Jingtian said without raising his head: "What else can I do? Of course I came to learn business from you, and I will follow you in the future, so I won't leave."

Shen Qing couldn't help but take a deep look at him, thinking in her heart, does he know that her own father is now the king of the Kingdom of Jin?
Is my brother still the son of the world who is under one person and above ten thousand people?
Considering that the more you know about such secret things, the more unlucky you will be, so you simply turned your head and left the east room of the main room.

Went outside to ask the staff not to go to the east room and disturb her guests.

Lin Sen sent someone to send back the letter. They found a lot of sales along the way. There are many business opportunities along the way from south to north. As for which one to operate in the future, it depends on the final negotiation results.

This time he led a total of more than 30 people, not all followed him all the time, but those who followed him to the end had never traveled far. As long as they had some ability, he placed them in suitable places for sales inquiry and negotiation.
