Chapter 317 Shen Zhiqiu “kills the New Year pig”?
Shen Zhiqiu expressed his willingness to hear more details, but he did not expect Chen Dongjia's ideas to be quite avant-garde:
"This jelly and steamed cake, and the secret seasoning you came up with, for any dish that uses these ingredients, I'll give you 20% of the profit for every portion sold at Guangyuanlou, how about that?"
To be honest, he had used this model before, but the sky-high price was only a fraction of the original price. However, Chen Dongjia felt that this was a good opportunity.
If Shen Zhiqiu and Guangyuanlou have a close relationship, does that mean Shen Zhiqiu's backers are also Guangyuanlou's backers?
How could the "shrewd" Shen Zhiqiu not guess what he was thinking? However, he did not agree directly. Instead, he told them how they and Fu Huaian met in the bandit mountain and how he almost got caught as a bandit.
Later, he gave a general account of how Fu Huaian helped them, but he omitted the story of his ancient father-in-law. After all, he didn't know if he could talk about his father-in-law's identity now, so it was better not to talk about it.
Shen Zhiqiu had one meaning: "Brother Chen, I have no relationship with General Fu. I just received his kindness. I really didn't plan to look for him when I encountered any problems. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought my wife and children to Guangyuan Tower today."
It clearly means: If you want to cooperate with me and value me as a person, I have a lot of fresh food recipes in my hand, and I can use these recipes to invest.
But if you want to get in touch with the Duke's Mansion through me, we can just have a simple business relationship. After all, I know my own identity and I don't have that kind of weight.
Although Shen Zhiqiu used to be a businessman, he still has some bottom lines. Not to mention that he has nothing to do with them, even if they really can control them because of his ancient father-in-law, he will never come to them for help unless it is a matter of life and death.
Moreover, he is quite confident in himself and believes that he can succeed without relying on anyone.
Seeing Shen Zhiqiu being so frank, Chen Dongjia became more certain. He thought that the Shen brothers were born into a scholar family, so they were still naive. They knew that there was such a relationship.
As long as Master Fu knew that Brother Shen was one of the owners of his restaurant, he would at least come often. He didn't need him to do anything or say anything. As long as this young master was willing to come, it would be worth it.
Moreover, from what Brother Shen said, he really admired Shen Zhiqiu. With less than 300 people, including the elderly, children and women, he completely wiped out a large bandit camp of 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Is this something that an average person can do? It would take a lot of brains and strategy.
Perhaps Master Fu saw that his brother Shen was a talented person, so he took special care of him, hoping that he would be able to be used in the future. Didn’t he hear that the old Duke was asked to go to the Duke’s Mansion, although he couldn’t figure out why the old Duke asked him to go.
But I just have a hunch that Master Fu values Brother Shen, and building a good relationship with Brother Shen is much better than him clinging to others everywhere. You have to know that he usually licks the faces and tries to curry favor, but he is just a dog in the eyes of the nobles.
Perhaps this is the first chance to get in touch with a true noble person.
Seeing that Chen Dongjia had made up his mind and that Shen Zhiqiu had explained the whole story clearly, he stood up again and went to the kitchen to order a few dishes with cumin.
Cumin potato chips, cumin lamb, cumin beef, cumin chicken, cumin lamb chops, cumin tofu, cumin grilled fish, cumin fried mushrooms, cumin fried rice, cumin fried noodles.
He was taught everything he knew how to cook that involved adding cumin, and he even built a rack with a few bricks and grilled a few skewers of lamb and various vegetables.
Although there is no chili pepper, it is definitely an eye-opener for ancient people who have never eaten cumin.
Shen Youyou used charcoal to draw the design of the barbecue rack.
Shen Zhiqiu told Chen Dongjia that the big rack for grilling lamb skewers was set up on the street in front of Guangyuan Building. If he hired two waiters to grill them and sprinkle some cumin on them, it would definitely attract many customers.
The small rack is used to serve guests who have ordered lamb skewers or vegetable skewers. At that time, a little bamboo charcoal is needed to warm up the lamb skewers.
Boss Chen nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining. This guy really has a good business sense. He even now thinks that even if he doesn't take Master Fu into consideration, he will definitely make a lot of money by getting Brother Shen to join him.
In the end, when the two signed the contract, it was not just about the profits from the dishes Shen Zhiqiu taught him, but about giving Shen Zhiqiu 30% of the profits from the entire Guangyuan Building.
However, Mr. Chen also had a request, which was that Shen Zhiqiu should think of more dishes in the future.
Even Shen Youyou didn't expect that during their one-day trip to the capital, his father actually became the second owner of Guangyuan Tower. This was really fantastic.
On the way back, Li Quan and the others were in shock. How did things get to this point? Weren't they being forced into negotiations?
Now their brother-in-law (third uncle) has become the second owner of the largest restaurant in Kyoto?
Not to mention them, even Li Jingshu didn't react. She knew that Old Shen was a smart man, but he wouldn't be like this.
But Shen Zhiqiu was not very happy. Shen Youyou figured out the twists and turns and sighed.
Shen Zhiqiu felt very heavy in his heart. He felt that it was all thanks to General Fu. If it weren't for General Fu's behavior, he probably wouldn't have reached this point. What can he say?
In ancient times, the class system was too distinct. General Fu's family was one of the most prestigious families in the entire northern border. Everyone wanted to get in by digging a hole in the door.
Even if he explained it clearly and showed his ability to invest, of course he still had more abilities that he hadn't shown yet;
But in the end, to get to this point, General Fu’s face is still of paramount importance.
Shen Youyou held his father's arm and said, "Dad, don't think too much. We can't help them now, but who can tell what will happen in the future? We just need to work hard. When we are able to repay you in the future, we will not be ungrateful."
Shen Zhiqiu felt warm in his heart. After all, she was his little cotton-padded jacket. He knew what his daughter was thinking. He patted his daughter's hand and nodded to show that he understood.
However, Shen Youyou reminded him again: "Didn't you say that the old Duke wanted to see you and Grandpa Li? Maybe he wanted to ask about my grandpa or things in the south. But since this is your first visit, you can't go empty-handed, right?"
Shen Zhiqiu thought: "Yes, but that's the Duke's Mansion, they don't need anything, what can we give them?"
That's right, what could that family need? We can't just send them some steamed buns and jelly, right?
He suddenly thought of something, chuckled, and asked his daughter in a very low voice:
"You said I should carry two buckets of jelly tomorrow, like an old farmer who kills a pig for the New Year and doesn't want to eat the best meat, so he keeps it for himself.
All the way, I took a bullock cart, a tractor, and a train, and took the precious things that were in my eyes, and I had to send them to that place, to the home of the Standing Committee member.
After saying this, he amused himself, Shinichi thought that he was just as silly as he imagined.
Shen Youyou was speechless. She was quite imaginative. Didn’t you see that even his father started to imagine? If this happened in the past, it would have made people queue up on DouY and it would have been a huge hit!
Well, then someone will comment: "Oh my! You are an old farmer, and you brought pork to Beijing, but you insisted on giving gifts to the home of a member of the Standing Committee who is below a few people and above millions of people, saying thank you. Do you think he is stupid?"
