Chapter 168 Qingcao's First Head Breaking
In the past, with his survival philosophy of struggling in the market, Shan Yao has almost achieved his own. He would not come to Baicaoshi unless it was absolutely necessary.
Baicaoshi has been positioned very clearly from beginning to end, the banker hidden behind the scenes. This is also to prevent Zhe Yu from going into an official career in the future, and her status as a merchant will cause him inconvenience.
"Zhe Yu, you go to the master first, and I will go to Quanjufang to have a look."
Zhe Yu pondered for a moment, "I'll be with you."
The matter involved the government, he was a little worried after all.
"You still don't believe me? You have to let go after all, and let me go alone." Baicaoshi winked at him, with a touch of cunning in her playfulness. "And your painstaking efforts and connections shouldn't be used here."
Saying that, Baicaoshi resolutely took Sanqi to Quanjufang.
Zhe Yu looked at her back, spread out his palm, held it and let go.
**
Quanjufang is very lively.
There were already many diners here, plus the academy students, Shen Li brought another wave of officers and soldiers, and it was already overcrowded.
In the middle of the lobby, Shen Li and Shan Yao are facing each other. On the table next to Shen Li, there was a jar of salt.
"My lord, according to the regulations, we have handed in enough salt, and we are willing to advance and retreat with Wanzhou. But the restaurant still needs to operate, and my family needs to support us. I beg you to give us a way out." .
Shen Li was still holding a folded fan in his hand, graceful and dignified, "I can understand the shopkeeper's mood, but Wanzhou is not here, why is it home? Your restaurant can afford so many guests, can you take any more?" Can’t come out? Your neighbor, Yuanming Restaurant, is deserted, and even donated two pots of salt. The shopkeeper really can’t justify it!”
Yam glanced at Yuanming Restaurant unobtrusively. How could he not know that Yuanming Restaurant had eyes and ears, saw the government coming, and dismissed all the guests. As for the two cans, he didn't see them, whatever they say.
"To be honest, my lord, there is no salt to buy in the city now. Our restaurant recipes have been changed, and all of them will reduce oil and salt. If you don't believe me, you can go to the back kitchen to see what happened."
Shen Li suddenly changed his face after Shan Yao spoke so earnestly. "Bold, I, in the name of King Xun, temporarily act as the governor of salt. If you don't listen to your kind words, do you have to force us to do it? How can I tolerate you, such a profiteer who is struggling to make money in Dafa City? Come on!" , take him down!"
Shen Li's soldiers wanted to attack.
Shopkeeper Feng's complexion changed drastically, and he repeatedly begged for forgiveness, begging the Internet to forgive him.
"Yo, it's so lively!" With the pretty female voice, Baicaoshi walked in. "The boss's business is good, even the state soldiers come to eat."
Shen Li looked towards the door, and met Baicaoshi's eyes from the air. "It's you."
"It's a coincidence, Mr. Shen. The academy is on holiday today, Mr. Shen is so elegant and came to eat, how about we come together?"
What a good example to scare chickens and monkeys, high-sounding!
Baicaoshi suspected for a moment that Shen Li did it on purpose. "Mr. Shen, since the opening of this restaurant, I have eaten twice, and I even invited the dean of the academy to taste it together. The shopkeeper is young and has a lot of achievements, but it is not what you said, otherwise the dean would not be full of praise. of."
Arguing that a fox pretends to be a tiger and takes advantage of the situation, Baicao Poetry is confident that it will not lose to others.
Seeing this, Shan Yao interjected: "Master Hui, Miss Hui Bai, there has been a shortage of salt recently, and our restaurant has launched a salt-reducing menu. If you don't believe me, please prove it." He waved his hand, and his sister Sanqi had already brought out a can of shiitake mushrooms and dried shrimps Homemade salt. When the jar is opened, it is delicious and fragrant, but it is different from the salt used in daily cooking.
"Bold, you dare to lie, how can this thing cook delicious dishes? Could it be that you showed me these, but used good salt to make money, you are so courageous!"
Baicaoshi folded his arms, "If you can make delicious food, you might as well try it on the spot. If it is feasible, this method can be promoted among the common people, and it can be regarded as Quanjufang benefiting the people of Wanzhou."
In Shen Li's view, this is tantamount to delaying time, and Baicaoshi is clearly in the same group as Quanjufang. "I don't have so much time to spend with you, and I have to go back and report to the prince."
"The restaurant has no salt, how can I hand it in again? Even if the prince is here, is it possible to let them conjure it? The prince must always be reasonable."
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside, "Who says this king is unreasonable?" Everyone moved out of the way, and Ying Zhexun entered with two subordinates.
"Shen Qing is acting on behalf of the king, you all..." Ying Zhexun saw Baicaoshi at a glance before cooperating with the girl who relieved his rheumatism and carbuncle with black stalk snake wine. "Little genius doctor, how could it be you?"
Baicaoshi pretended to be surprised, and blessed her body, "It turns out... so you are the King Xun who came from Yanjing to save us from the fire and water. The prince is wise and wise, and can diagnose and treat the prince, and relieve the burden of the prince for many days. It’s really the luck of the little girl.”
Thousands of clothes, thousands of clothes, flattery does not wear. What's more, Baicao Poetry also described King Xun's illness so tactfully.
Not to mention Ying Zhexun, how proud he is.
After only a short while, the style of painting in the room changed abruptly. The guys in Quanjufang immediately raised their eyebrows, and the diners were dumbfounded.
"My lord?" Shen Li called out.
"Shen Qing," Ying Zhexun wanted to give face to the Shen family, but he didn't want to turn against Baicaoshi. After all, it might be a credit for recommending her to the Queen Mother in the future. "Miss Bai has the grace of healing for me. She has excellent medical skills and a benevolent hand. You may wish to get acquainted with her."
"My lord, it's better to come early than to come at a good time. I am the host and invite the lord to have a meal here. The boss here is a wonderful person, and he can make delicious food without salt." Baicaoshi followed the trend.
Ying Zhexun quickly heard the key point inside. If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to alleviate the salt shortage in Wanzhou?
Baicaoshi ordered, "In this way, in order to prove that the restaurant's words are true, the cooking process will be carried out in front of everyone. If King Xun thinks your method is feasible, you can also be exempted from collecting salt. Do you think it's okay, my lord?"
Ying Zhexun was even more curious, and immediately agreed.
Just like that, the chef set up a simple stove on the street and cooked several delicacies with the so-called mushroom and shrimp skin. Ying Zhexun tasted them one by one and was full of praise. On the same day, a decree was issued to let the people in the city imitate the method of making ingredients in Quanjufang. The reputation of Quanjufang has been improved to a higher level.
After dealing with the salt collection, Baicaoshi returned to the academy. Oriha has prepared all necessary materials such as a cauldron and limestone, and the purification of poisonous salt is about to begin.
At this moment, Tie Lanxin and Nan Yang came to the academy together, bringing a surprising news.
