Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

The sunset special fruit wine sold at the Tang Shui Shop was very well received. The frozen sea buckthorn fruits that Mao Xi stored in the space were also used to squeeze and sell juice, and they were quickly sold out.

Mao Xi used orange juice instead and made it together with watermelon juice, but the price was not reduced.

At the same time, she also launched orange juice coffee, which is a mixture of freshly squeezed orange juice and hand-brewed black coffee.

Everything is going in a good direction.

The business of the candy store is booming, and at the end of the month, the accounts are settled uniformly.

Coupled with the gold earned from selling nourishing bird's nests, peach gum and other ingredients on this trip north, Mao Xi finally scraped together enough money to buy a restaurant.

Twenty thousand taels of silver, which is also two thousand taels of gold, is not a small amount. According to the actual price, it is enough for her to buy a small house in Beidu.

She found her former Fang Ya, went through the formalities, and got the title deed of Juding Tower from Mu Zhiyuan.

The two thousand taels of gold were naturally sent to Mu Zhiyuan's house.

Most of the original cooks and waiters in Juding Tower have remained.

Instead of renovating and recruiting people, Mao Xi planned to close the business for half a month and gather the original cooks and waiters for retraining.

She had thought of the name of the restaurant a long time ago, but she never said it.

At noon, Mao Xi set up a table of delicious food at Liuxiang Snacks to celebrate buying the restaurant.

"In half a month, we will open a restaurant. I have already thought about the name. It will be called 'Haowei Restaurant'. What do you think?"

Zhang Xiucai glanced at the calligraphy hanging in the hall, and there were four words "The world has flavor" written on it: "Mao Xi, is your word "good taste" too straightforward? Why not call it "Weiwei", "Zhiwei" or "Five Flavors"?

Zhang Xiucai's suggestion was reasonable, but Shui Xi had his own ideas.

"This is my plan, because I have always been a snack shop and have never run a restaurant. I want to move some of the dishes from the snack shop to the restaurant for sale. There are affordable dishes so that ordinary people can also eat in the restaurant. You can eat delicious food there, so the restaurant’s signboard should be more down-to-earth and have the atmosphere of human beings.”

"I agree with this." Lou Lan'er glanced at Shu Xi, "It tastes good. It's easy to read. As long as it tastes good, our business will definitely get better and better."

Mu Zhiyuan sat aside and calmly ate vegetables and meat. Regardless of whether it was called Judinglou or Haoweilou, he was relieved to finally get rid of the restaurant in the hands of the princess.

The assistant who managed the restaurant for him returned to Beidu.

Recently, Mao Xi asked Dajiang to teach the cooks how to carve, and asked Xiaoqing and Yaomei to teach the remaining cooks how to make all the snacks in the shop.

Liuxiang Snacks will be changed into a candy shop and breakfast stall like those in Kaitang County, mainly selling various drinks and breakfast.

The snacks, night market barbecue and seafood stalls will be moved to Haoweilou.

Someone has been hired to make a new sign for the shop, but the kitchen utensils and cutlery need to be repurchased.

Although there is no need to renovate the restaurant, Mao Xi needs to rearrange the layout and style of the restaurant.

The restaurant is divided into two floors. The lobby on the first floor was originally used for dancing girls to have fun.

Mao Xi changed this place into a small stage, allowing Lou Lan'er and the storyteller to come here from time to time to tell some stories.

Every week, Zhe Mei is hired to play the piano and sing with Yu Wanniang.

There are several large water tanks placed on the back of the stage, where the seafood of the day is placed for diners to choose on-site and prepared freshly for sale.

In addition to these rigid environmental preparations, what Ma Xi pays most attention to is the dishes to be sold when the new restaurant opens.

In addition to retaining the popular Liuxiang snacks, some new creative dishes will also be added to the dishes.

This is something that has troubled Mao Xi recently. Although the new restaurant has the support of old diners, it still needs to have signature dishes to build the restaurant's reputation.

Ingredients, tastes, cooking skills... all challenge Mao Xi.

Fortunately, Mao Xi has been preparing to open a restaurant, and often studies recipes in his spare time.

Now, she is worried about which dishes she should choose as the signature dishes of the new restaurant so that she can accurately impress every diner who comes to the restaurant.

In Mao Xi's mind, because of the rewards from the system upgrade, she has mastered the recipes of special snacks, local dishes, and palace dishes from all over the east, west, north, and south. Even if the ingredients are rare and hard to find, she can buy them in the virtual mall.

"Do you think the main dish is roast duck, roast chicken, roast lamb, or roast suckling pig?" Mao Xi asked.

When Luda heard about roast suckling pig, his ears twitched: "I choose roast suckling pig!"

Mu Zhiyuan and Lou Laner, who love mutton, chose roast lamb as their main course.

"It's the shopkeeper." Xiao Qing whispered, "We can add another main course."

"Add another one? Are they all chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs?" Shui Xi thought for a while, "Did you mean fish?"

Xiaoqing nodded.

"Shopkeeper, you can add a fish dish to the night snack food stall. Whenever Brother Xiao Hai brings grouper to the shop, it is always sold out first."

"Xiucai, among the roast duck, roast chicken, and roast lamb in our shop, which dish is the best-selling?"

"Ever since I started selling roast duck, this dish has always been a best-seller, especially the recently sold Immortal Babao Duck."

“Then the main dishes will be the magical eight-treasure duck and steamed grouper.”

These two dishes have been sold before, and we have to sell a few more to the people here, who have never eaten them.

Many dishes immediately flashed through Mao Xi's mind. They should be adapted to local conditions, preferably with local ingredients, and the taste should be in line with the people here...

"I have an idea!" Dajiang raised his chopsticks, "I've been dealing with a lot of ingredients recently. Today is midsummer, and there are more and more swimming crabs. I asked Brother Xiao Hai that in July and August, swimming crabs and shrimps are abundant. Let's Different entrees can be introduced seasonally.”

Isn’t Shrimp Gu just Pipi Shrimp?

Swimming crab can be steamed or made into curry, and shrimp can be stir-fried or baked with salt. Isn’t this a great dish to go with wine?

"Then it's settled. You guys will focus on training on these main dishes. The other dishes will still follow the previous menu of Liuxiang Snacks."

After the meal, Mao Xi couldn't wait to go to Shopkeeper Tao.

She ordered a lot of new tableware, but I don’t know if they have arrived. One of them is high-quality porcelain from a famous local kiln.

"Shopkeeper Tao, can the batch of white porcelain tableware I want arrive as scheduled? The restaurant will open in a few days. Can you help me hurry up~"

Mao Xi is an old customer of Shopkeeper Tao, so he naturally does not dare to neglect: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu, I went to urge you yesterday to ensure the delivery on time. I will definitely go to support you when you open. The store has a new one." Do you want to come and take a look at the batch of silver tableware? The high-end restaurants in Beidu all use these silver bowls and silver plates~"

Mao Xi was a little moved by what Shopkeeper Tao said.

Shopkeeper Tao brought out some silver tableware, which opened Mao Xi's eyes. This silver bowl was really exquisite. There were two carps swimming among lotus flowers in the bowl, which was elegant and interesting.

Unfortunately, I just bought a house and now I don’t have much money left.

"Shopkeeper Tao, this small bowl is really exquisite. I'll wait until this batch of porcelain arrives, and I'll buy it from you next time~"
