Great Imperial Merchant

Fumanlou has been open to this day, and its business has stabilized. At the same time, word of mouth in Quzhou has gradually spread.

The recruitment notice at their door has not been removed, so people have been coming to the door one after another during this time.

However, the chefs who came here a few times did not meet Yang Zhongyuan's wishes.Either the workmanship is too bad, or the attitude is not correct, there are many kinds of things, so far only Yu Zhen has been left alone.

The appearance of Zhao Lingfeng gave Yang Zhongyuan a surprise.

"Master Zhao, what do you think of our Fumanlou?" Yang Zhongyuan looked at the dish he cooked. Although the taste was a little worse than that of Yu Zhen, his knife skills are really worth mentioning.

Zhao Lingfeng is obviously not a eloquent person, after hearing Yang Zhongyuan's words, he just said: "The dishes you cook are very good."

Cheng Weizhe was taken aback, turned his head and let out a muffled laugh, Yang Zhongyuan looked at Zhao Lingfeng helplessly, and could only say, "Master Zhao, do you have any requirements for wages?"

It was obviously the first time Zhao Lingfeng encountered an employer who offered to negotiate wages. This time, he was stunned, and it took him a long time to say: "It's just as long as it's not less than before."

……

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe looked at each other, and gained a new understanding of his conversation ability.

Not less than before... How much is that?

Yang Zhongyuan thought about the gossip he had inquired from other houses before, and thought for a moment: "I don't know how about eight taels of silver in January?"

Zhao Lingfeng can show many problems with just this one dish. He is good at knife skills and has solid basic skills. He is a little lacking in seasoning, but he can share the non-signature dishes that Yu Zhen has no time to cook.Yang Zhongyuan has always been a very decisive person, since he is determined to use this person, he doesn't have to think too much, just sign the contract and stay.

Yu Zhen is a chef in charge, Zhao Lingfeng is slightly worse than him, but it is more than enough for a cook, and it is normal for the salary to be slightly less.

Zhao Lingfeng obviously didn't expect the master's family to pay him such a high salary. His craftsmanship is good, and his knife skills are even more wonderful. Not up or down.

The salary of eight taels of silver a month is already quite high.

He is not a person who is used to ink, so he nodded immediately after hearing this: "Sign the contract, and I will come to work tomorrow."

Look, it's a joy.

After he finished speaking, the two chefs in the back kitchen also came out with new dishes. Yang Zhongyuan sent Cheng Weizhe to talk with Zhao Lingfeng in detail, and stayed to taste the craftsmanship of the two chefs.

It has to be said that with Zhao Lingfeng and Zhuyu in front, the two behind seemed lacklustre, especially the oldest one, who fried the most famous Xiaosu meat in Quzhou. It's delicious, but it's not surprising.

After seeing off the two reluctant chefs, he turned around and saw Cheng Weizhe leading Zhao Lingfeng out from the back compartment.

Yang Zhongyuan walked forward with a smile: "Are you ready?"

With a very relaxed expression, Cheng Weizhe stretched out his hand to help him smooth his sideburns, nodded and said, "It's over, Master Zhao is coming to work at the same time every day, just like Master Yu."

Seeing that things in the kitchen were finally on the right track, Yang Zhongyuan smiled brighter. He turned to Zhao Lingfeng and said, "Master Zhao, if you have nothing to do at night, you might as well stay in the building. One is to meet Master Yu Zhenyu, who is in charge of our family." , and since you have come to Fumanlou, Ah Zhe and I are very happy, so naturally we want to treat you to a meal."

When Zhao Lingfeng heard Yu Zhen's name, he obviously paused: "The town really exists?"

Yang Zhongyuan was not surprised that he knew Yu Zhen.

Both of them are locals from Quzhou. Although Quzhou is a big county, they both eat the rice of the patriarch.

"Yes, Master Yu is now the head chef of our Fumanlou. It is best for you to know him, and we will be able to cooperate smoothly in the future."

Zhao Lingfeng listened, bowed his head and thought for a long time, and answered with one word: "Oh."

Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan couldn't laugh or cry, and felt that this person's character was really strange.

Sure enough, when Yu Zhen came to work, he was very happy to see Zhao Lingfeng also came to Fumanlou.

"Boss, we two know each other from peeing. Ling Feng is very picky about the boss. If he doesn't like it, he won't do it. Even the wages can be refunded."

Yang Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Then it is really an honor for us to get Master Zhao to say 'very good'."

Zhao Lingfeng followed and saw that they were both talking about things around him. After thinking about it, he must have summed it up for them: "Well, it's very good."

After hearing this, Yu Zhen laughed so hard that he almost sat down on the floor, and said, "Oh, you are so funny."

Yang Zhongyuan looked at Zhao Lingfeng who was staring at Yu Zhen earnestly, and then at the lively Yu Zhen who was completely different from the shyness of the past, and silently thought of other things.

It seems that these two people haven't married yet?

Both of them are older than him and Cheng Weizhe, and they themselves are considered late. These two 26-seven young people have not found a partner. Compared with their personalities, this matter is rather strange.

However, seeing that the meal time was coming soon, Yang Zhongyuan suppressed his curiosity and carefully arranged the work of the two of them.

As the head chef of Fumanlou, Yu Zhen basically arranges for him to cook all the signature dishes. After nearly [-] days of study, he has been able to complete all the dishes very well.The taste is almost the same as that made by Yang Zhongyuan.

After all, he couldn't do it alone. Zhao Lingfeng's appearance at this time really helped them a lot.

Although Yang Zhongyuan is good at cutting, he is not good at carving. Although Yu Zhen is good at carving, after Yang Zhongyuan relieved his burden, he was too busy.As the head of the family, it is indeed a bit of a drop in price to let him arrange the dishes.

So during the period when it first opened, most of Fumanlou's dishes followed the simple route.

Fortunately, Zhao Lingfeng appeared in time, and Yang Zhongyuan waved his hand: "Master Zhao, you will be in charge of the vegetarian dishes and general meat dishes in the future, and all the work of arranging the dishes will also be done by you with your apprentices, is that okay?"

Yes, of course, for Zhao Lingfeng who likes to arrange and carve radish flowers, this job is simply not too good.

Therefore, Zhao Lingfeng, who came to try out work that night, integrated into the small kitchen group of Fumanlou very smoothly.

He was not very familiar with Fumanlou's dishes, but he was able to arrange the dishes with ease. Yang Zhongyuan suddenly felt that his work had dropped sharply this day. Basically, he came out of the back kitchen when half of the guests in the hall were left.

Cheng Weizhe was standing at the counter introducing wine products to others. Their current daily income, excluding the dishes, only wine products are the bulk of their income.

Xia's wine is quite famous throughout Daliang, not to mention in his hometown of Quzhou.

During this period of time, there were a lot of tourists from other places who came to Fumanlou, and naturally there were also many people who bought wine.The Xia family has strict requirements on all partners. In Quzhou, the selling price must be the same in all places.Looking at the far and near from other places one by one, in short, it makes tourists feel that it is worth the money no matter where they buy it from.

Although there are many shops on Baozhu Street that cooperate with the Xia family, not every family can sell the Xia family's wine, there are dozens of shops, only a few sporadic ones.Xia's pure wine has invisibly added a lot of business to Fumanlou. Cheng Weizhe and Yang Zhongyuan have kept this in mind.

Seeing that he was busy, Yang Zhongyuan sat quietly on the side, carefully looking at his account book.

At present, they haven't started making tea in Fumanlou yet, and Cheng Weizhe is also free, so he is not in a hurry to find the shopkeeper, and he can do what he can, so don't worry.

Yang Zhongyuan is very talented in handling the spoon, but he can't understand the account book.

Cheng Weizhe finally tried his best to sell a jar of wine, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to learn how to be an accountant from me? Speaking of things in the kitchen are not too busy, you really have to follow me honestly." A few days."

"Azhe, I'm really not good at this... When you go to work on the tea, let's find a shopkeeper." Yang Zhongyuan looked at Cheng Weizhe's dense regular script and sighed.

Cheng Weizhe naturally didn't want him to work too hard, but thinking about going out to find tea gardens in a few days, he finally softened his heart: "When the time comes, let Master and Dad come over for a few days, and you can go find tea gardens with me, okay?" good?"

Thinking of the two elderly people who were busy renovating the house at home recently, Yang Zhongyuan only hesitated for a while, and then sold them out without hesitation: "Okay, that's it."

They just got married, so naturally they hoped to be together all the time, and the time to go out for tea was not short, and the thought of being separated for such a long time made both of them feel uncomfortable.

Master and dad can understand, right?

The two of them were whispering together when suddenly a carriage slowly stopped at the door of Fumanlou.

When Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe heard the noise, they hurriedly asked Xiao Er to come over to meet him with an umbrella.

The rain at this moment was much lighter than before, but it was still raining continuously. As soon as Xiaoer went out to greet him, a middle-aged man over thirty got out of the car.

In the haze of mist and rain, he was dressed in Tsing Yi, with long black hair and handsome eyes, like a fairy.

Xiao Er seemed to be seeing such a person for the first time, and couldn't help but stare blankly at him, and it was the guest who said: "Son, won't you let me in?"

His voice was very pleasant, like Zhu Yu falling into a plate, and like a breeze blowing on his face.

Xiao Er immediately came back to his senses, blushed, and carefully sent him into the building: "Guest officer, you look like a fairy, I was dumbfounded, I'm really sorry."

Hearing what he said, the man in Tsing Yi raised the corners of his mouth immediately. With his smile, he swept away the dusty breath, but he looked gentle and elegant.

Yang Zhongyuan and Cheng Weizhe are also people who are used to seeing the big world, just looking at him, they know that this person must be extraordinary.

So without being too reserved, the two walked over hand in hand, with a very respectful attitude: "Guest officer, there is still room in the private room upstairs, do you want to go upstairs and have a look?"

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, but didn't move, just stood there and looked at the two of them, and after a while he looked at the shop again.

The little girl wanted to say something more, but Yang Zhongyuan waved him to do other things.

And Cheng Weizhe also understood what he meant, and asked in a low voice: "This guest officer, what are you looking for?"

Seeing that he and Yang Zhongyuan were so clever, the man in Tsing Yi smiled even more, and said: "You two children are really smart, I wonder if Big Brother Han is in the shop?"
