I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

After the complete defeat of Tianxianglou, the Zhou family in Yunzhou realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately sent the master chef of Tianxianglou in Yunzhou over, and within two weeks, they launched three fresh dishes in a row, and posted them at the door. I got the news, saying that in order to make up for the mistakes I made before, all consumption in Tianxiang Building will be halved within two months.

When Xia Wen first arrived at Qingjiang Tower, the old shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and the two talked while walking towards the back kitchen.

"What's the new dish in Tianxianglou?" Xia Wen asked.

"There are two new dishes, one is called 'Sweet Fried Fish', which is made with red carp, and the other is called 'Paper Wrapped Chicken', which is made with black-bone chicken. They can't be packaged, and they can only be eaten in their building." The old shopkeeper said in detail.

When they arrived at the back kitchen, the other two chefs also arrived. When they saw Xia Wen, they bowed down respectfully and called them masters. Xia Wen had asked them to change their titles, but they didn't listen. Later, Xia Wen got stuck on this.

Xia Wen looked at the shopkeeper standing anxiously at the side, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you are going to the door and post a message saying that Qingjianglou's new dishes are 'Yuelongmen' and 'Zhegui'." Seeing the old shopkeeper, he immediately turned around , Xia Wen said again: "Wu Yan is in the lobby, he brought the pictures of these two dishes, the young master said, let's post the news together."

Seeing that Xia Wen was so calm and calm, the old shopkeeper stopped worrying immediately, and went to write the news happily.

In the kitchen, Xia Wen asked the two chefs to fight. Similarly, one brought a red carp and the other a chicken.

"Today I will teach you two new dishes." Xia Wen poured half a spoonful of oil into the iron pot and said without looking up

The two masters nodded in unison when they heard this, with happy expressions on their faces.

Since the old shopkeeper posted the news, many people saw the name of the new dish, and all of them became interested. They sat at the dining table and waited. How wonderful.

The carp "jumps over the dragon's gate" and the toad palace "folds the laurel". This is for the three-year autumn.

Qingjianglou's two new signature dishes are popular again, let's not talk about the taste, just listen to the name of the dish, if you have students preparing for exams at home, you should buy two for auspiciousness.

Since Qingjianglou launched these two dishes, the old diners have come back again, waiting for food in the building every day.

In the days to come, Tianxianglou was not to be outdone, and launched new dishes one after another. Qingjianglou did not take any action at first, but posted a message saying that new dishes would be launched every other month in the future, and there was no fight with Tianxianglou at all. The appearance of beating, only put out the dishes with peace of mind.

Not only that, but the three breakfast masters also learned something. On this day, the first one hundred guests who entered Tianxianglou received a small gift. The bag gradually opened up popularity in this way.

The current Tianxiang Building can barely survive, but the Qingjiang Building is very popular for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is also full of diners, which can be regarded as a real profit.

Summer is slipping away quickly, and it has been more than August in a blink of an eye, and the weather is cool and chilly.

These days, Xu Yining and Su Wei knew a little bit about Su Jiabao helping Qingjianglou. Seeing that Su Jiabao seemed interested in running shops, Xu Yining gave Su Jiabao the two shops that she brought over as a dowry.

These two shops are almost unprofitable, but the location is a bit off. Xu Yining hadn't figured out how to transform it for a while. After Su Jiabao knew about it, he proposed to let him practice, and Xu Yining agreed.

Of the two shops, one sells calligraphy and painting, and the other is a tea shop.The business of the former one was better, but then someone opened a gambling shop in a nearby place, and it was noisy day and night, and people of all kinds of religions abounded everywhere. It also lost the cleanliness that calligraphy and painting workshops should have, and gradually no one patronized them.

Although that tea shop is secluded, but there is no signboard, the business is getting worse and worse, and now it has reached the point where it cannot make ends meet.

Su Jiabao spent three days thinking hard in the study, and finally let him come up with a solution.

Originally selling paintings and calligraphy, he changed it to a pawn shop, because it is close to the gambling house. If those gamblers lose their money and are in high spirits, the pawn shop next to them is naturally their first choice. They pawn their things and wait to win money It’s okay to redeem it again, everyone thinks this way, but who knows whether to win or lose in the end!

As for the tea shop, Su Jiabao had already thought about what to do. He still opened a tea shop, but he couldn't sell all kinds of tea, he only sold Qinglin smoke.

Qinglin smoke is a specialty of this remote place, and it is also produced in Qinglin Mountain. It is naturally incomparable with those famous teas, but if the room is dyed with the fragrance of Qinglin, and then you take a sip of this Qinglin smoke, the aftertaste will be It is enough to rank in the top [-] of Xia Qi's famous tea.

The reason why he remembers the name of this tea is because the two female colleagues only like to mention this Qinglinyan, one is because it is produced in Luo Qingyu's hometown, the other is that it is extremely expensive, and the third is this nice name.

He remembered that after the correct way to taste the Qinglin smoke was discovered, people from several surrounding states and counties flocked to Qinglin Mountain and picked it without restraint. In the end, this Qinglin smoke became a rare tea, and it was even more so in the later period. It has become Xia Qi's third famous tea, and one tael of gold is not too much.

Of course, the terrifying price later was mostly due to the fact that those dignitaries wanted to use this tea to curry favor with Luo Qingyu, who was already in a high position.

Su Jiabao explained these two ideas to Xu Yining carefully, and even drew a lot of picture albums.

After hearing the idea of ​​the Su family, Xu Yining felt that the pawn shop was feasible, but it seemed that there was no way out if he continued to open tea shops and only sell Qinglin smoke.So Su Jiabao talked about his tea tasting method, and after Xu Yining tried it, he immediately felt that it was good.

After talking about it, Su Jiabao used all his own wealth to buy the place where Qinglin smoked tea grows in Qinglin Mountain. Because the place is not big and there are no Qinglin trees around, the owner signed the contract without saying a word. He walked away with money.

It's not that Su Jiabao didn't tell them the benefits of Qinglinyan. Even if he said that the tea party would be worth one or two thousand gold in the future, no one would believe it. Even if there was a good way to drink tea, it would rank in the top 20. Those dignitaries If you don't drink the top ten teas, what are you doing with your twenty teas?

If someone really believed it, it would take at least 20 years for Luo Qingyu to become that powerful person, and no one could afford it.

In fact, he opened a tea shop and sold Qinglin cigarettes, but he was just betting on it. After all, he was in this body, so that Luo Qingyu was not charged with murder, and he also lost the chance to escape from his hometown and meet veteran officials. , Without the recommendation of the old minister, I don't know if he can climb to the high position there smoothly.

But it doesn't matter, this tea shop is open, in addition to betting on whether it can increase in value in the future, it also has another function. In my memory, the refugee riots in the north affected Qingzhou, Yunzhou and other counties, and the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court alone Love this Qinglin smoke.

All the decorations of the tea shop are based on Su Jiabao's own preferences. In his previous life, his grandfather had two hobbies, one was cooking, and the other was tea tasting. Su Jiabao knew about these two. Some.

Luo Qingyu asked Luo Qingyu to mention the name of the tea shop, and it is called "Chuanjiao", because Su Jiabao does not plan to make a profit from it at the moment, so there is no more publicity. After the tea shop opens, only the Su family and Su Jiabao can talk about it relatives and friends know.

This corner teahouse is located in a secluded location with an elegant environment, and gradually it became a frequent gathering place for Lu Dayou, Luo Qingyu and Su Jiabao.

On this day, the shopkeeper of the teahouse was telling some anecdotes, and Su Jiabao, Lu Dayou, and Luo Qingyu were listening to it, when they saw Wu Yan running over in a hurry, with a flustered expression on his face.

"Young master, the master sent someone to tell you to go back quickly."

Su Jiabao thought he had committed something, and was about to reflect on it to deal with it, when Wu Yan said to Lu Dayou and Luo Qingyu: "Both young masters, go back too, don't go out for a while. gone."

"What's wrong?" Su Jiabao vaguely guessed something, and asked tentatively.

Wu Yan said that he didn't know the specifics, but the person who came to spread the word said so.

Wu Yan picked up the beautiful white fox fur cloak next to him and put it on for Su Jiabao, making Su Jiabao's small round face more lively and exquisite. Lu Dayou and Luo Qingyu saw that Su Jiabao was leaving, and the two of them They didn't stop any longer, and each got into the carriage and went home.

Su Mansion, as soon as Xu Yining saw Su Jiabao, he came up and grabbed his hand, and poked his forehead: "You, what are you doing running to that tea shop in winter? Don't go anytime soon."

"What's the matter, mother? Did something happen?"

Xu Yining took Su Jiabao to the east courtyard, seeing Su Jiabao's curious eyes, Xu Yining leaned closer and whispered: "Qingzhou and the surrounding counties may be in chaos in the near future." She looked at Su Wei's study After gesturing, he continued, "Your father is discussing with several gentlemen inside."

"That's because..."

"I don't know the exact mother." Xu Yining patted Su Jiabao's hand, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Bao'er, with mother and father here, even if the sky falls, it won't hit you."

"En." Seeing the serious look in Xu Yining's eyes, Su Jiabao was startled, his nose was slightly sore, and he nodded.

In the study room, Su Wei was frowning and looking at the letter in his hand. The county magistrate Luotang sat far down, and said in a deep voice: "We can't let them into the city, those refugees may have lost their minds. If they enter the city, the people in the city Definitely messed up."

Although he could not bear it in his heart, he had no choice but to wait for the relief food from the imperial court to appease the refugees before considering whether to let them enter the city.

The other two disciples in the study also agreed with Luo Tangyuan's words, and Su Wei also knew that this was the most appropriate way, but when he thought of those people who came full of hope but were rejected outside the city and continued to suffer from hunger and cold, he felt a burst of pain in his heart. Uncomfortable and intolerable.

"Yes," Su Wei nodded in agreement, and continued: "Write a notice and post the news of the refugees fleeing here. Remember to choose your words carefully, so as not to cause panic."

Luo Tangyuan nodded.

After the people dispersed, Su Wei immediately wrote a letter and asked people to hand it over to Zhizhou, informing them of the situation of the refugees at the border. Zhizhou government.
