Chen Nianguan's aesthetics are always online.

When renovating the Tangshui shop for middle- and high-class diners, she also struggled, whether to take a novelty and transplant the decoration concept from the previous life, because the Tangshui shop that was rebuilt in that way is naturally very different, coming outThe effect will definitely cause an uproar, boldly speaking, it will definitely arouse heated discussions in the whole city and attract extreme attention.

But after thinking about it, Chen Nianguan gave up the modern style.

Because of the attention, coupled with the peculiar effect of the reconstruction, Tangshui Shop will naturally become a special existence in Prefecture City, and it may attract diners who are curious or novelty-seeking.

However, being different comes with certain risks.

For example, it will be rejected by some conservative diners, and it will be too out of line to discourage the main market consumers - those ladies and wives from wealthy and powerful families.

After all, not everyone has the courage to try new things, and if something goes wrong, it will be criticized by thousands of people.

What's more, the main product of her Tangshui shop is already quite rare and novel enough.

Being able to taste the tortoise jelly that is usually only seen in the palace is enough to attract the ladies and wives of these wealthy families, so there is no need to do extra things.

Therefore, Chen Nianguan decided to keep in line with the decoration style of this dynasty, and not make it too special.

The entire storefront is mainly made of mahogany, and the tables and tables inside are all made of light-colored and brown logs.

Although it is divided into two areas, the Langjun area is full of open desks, while the lady area is more particular, with elegant seats separated by wooden screens and open box seats, trying to satisfy the ladies and wives who come into the store.many demands of the people.

In order to avoid the situation where there are too many customers and not enough seats, the one-and-a-half-meter overhanging eaves will also become a flexible dining area, with a plan and four back chairs placed.

In general, there are not many seats, and naturally there will not be many diners who can entertain at the same time.

However, the sales of products are special, but to retain high-demand diners, not quantity.

This kind of space seems to be empty, and Chen Nianguan put green plants and trees bought from the flower market in the right place for beautification.As for the money tree, there is also a row of porcelain pots with flowers in full bloom at the foot of the wall, climbing shelves are placed against the wall, and green plants like vines are placed along the edge.

There is also an ice mirror that will hold ice cubes to cool down the dining environment.

Those who can't buy gold and copper like big families can ask He carpenter to make wooden basins and barrels.

Of course, it is not the ordinary rough one. The surface is polished smooth, and then carved with simple lines, or matched with exquisite hollowed-out latticework, it becomes a work of art that can be seen everywhere in the shop, and it is pleasing to the eye.

With such a little embellishment, the entire Tangshui shop looks elegant, quiet, and elegant, even though it is not carved, with a touch of high class, which is completely opposite to the smoke and fire that the Pho shop is full of.

Liu Shi and the others were also surprised when they saw it.

Such a good dining environment doesn't look like a business at all.

"Sister, is this really the food restaurant run by our family?" Xuan Xuan couldn't help asking, she reached out her hand to touch the smooth desk, and asked.

"Of course, but if Xuan Xuan likes it, we will also come here for dinner in the future."

"Great!" Xuan Xuan immediately chose a seat and sat down by herself, and said to Liu Ye, who ran over with a smile, "We will sit here together then."

Liu Ye sat down beside Xuan Xuan and nodded vigorously.

Both Chen Nianguan and Liu Shi laughed.

These days, living in Liuhua Lane, Liu Yun and Sister Fang are trying to boil syrup, tortoise jelly, double skin milk, ice cheese sweet bowls, and various frozen drinks, etc. every day, so thatShe feasted on the two girls.

Just by looking at the sweets that she made that made her full of praise, she knew that the desserts that her daughter came up with would definitely be sold. Looking at this store now, it is even more beautiful than the hall in someone's house for entertaining guests.Liu's admiration for her daughter was extreme, and then that pride surged up again.

Whose family is such a beautiful and capable girl?

Her family was born from her stomach!

It's her Wan Wan!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Wan Wan, this shop is finished, when will we open it??????"

"In the past two days, let Liu Yun and Sister Fang prepare the syrup for the opening in advance, purchase the raw materials for making drinks, and then we can open!" Chen Nianguan chose June 10 as the opening date, just two days later.

"Okay, when the time comes, Auntie will also come to help!"

When Jiang Yu came to look for Chen Nianguan at the Five Willow Lane store again, he felt a chill when he entered the ice shop.

He was startled, and then wanted to go into the ice cellar, but was stopped by Liu Yang.

"doing what?"

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, Master Chen has explained that anyone who wants to go in the ice cellar now has to inform her first."

Naturally, it was to prevent someone from suddenly breaking into the ice cellar and smashing through the four beasts making ice, and then the secret would not be kept.

"I am no exception?"

Liu Yang shook his head, then knocked on the door of the back kitchen with the ice shop and sugar water shop.

"What's the matter?" Chen Nianguan asked at the other end.

"Boss, Mr. Jiang is here!"

The door was opened from the Tangshui shop, Chen Nianguan poked his head out and smiled, "Young Master Jiang!"

Jiang Yu entered the back kitchen and saw Chen Nianguan and two other strange ladies looking at the stove and pushing the stone mill, and asked, "What are you doing?" Then he was attracted by the big wooden cabinet against the wall.attention.

It is a refrigerated cabinet specially requested by Chen Nianguan to be customized by Carpenter He.

Rows of refrigerated cabinets are filled with sugar water ingredients made of large porcelain bowls and small porcelain bowls, especially the beautiful wooden bowls and porcelain bowls. The outside is either painted with beautiful patterns or carved with exquisite patterns.They were all covered with round lids with pinch handles, so Jiang Yu couldn't help but reached out and picked up a porcelain bowl. He lifted the lid and took a look: good guy, it's actually a bowl full of Guiling paste.

Jiang Yu remembered his mission to find Chen Nianguan.

Recently, Chen Nianguan's desserts for mothers and younger sisters have stopped.

Manager Wang hasn't brought the tortoise paste and sweet bowls from Chen Nianguan for a long time. He went back to Jiangfu. His mother and sisters were addicted to gluttony, so they even sent a boy to Wushan Academy, asking him to ask the girls of the Chen family..

Aren't you working with Miss Chen Si?She doesn't bring delicious food to our family anymore. If you go to her, if she dares not to look at Jiangfu's face, she will also look at your partner's face.

For the sake of stuttering, mother, do you want to do this?

Jiang Yu had no choice but to make another trip.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that there seemed to be ice in the ice cellar?Also, there are so many tortoise jelly here, why doesn't Miss Chen Si ask Guanshi Wang to buy some back?

Obviously he left ten taels of silver for her.

Chen Nianguan saw that Jiang Yu had taken the bowl of tortoise jelly without asking, and rolled his eyes at him.

She naturally guessed Jiang Yu's origin. The desserts that Mrs. Jiang had been supplied to Madam Jiang in unlimited quantities before was because they were all made by Liu Yun and Sister Fang to practice cooking skills. Mrs. Jiang was willing to spend money to buy them.I am willing to sell.

But since Mrs. Liu and Xuan Xuan came, and such a big group of people, they all expressed their liking for the sugar water and drinks, so naturally they were tight to their own family first, so Mrs. Jiang stopped serving them.

"But, I have already paid the money first." Jiang Yu was a little annoyed.

"Mr. Jiang, your little silver is not enough." Chen Nianguan said, "One bowl of Guiling jelly costs one tael of silver, and your ten taels of silver is only enough to buy ten bowls. I will give it to Madam Jiang and Jiang.My sisters have already exceeded this amount in the two times of sugar water, and I will also confiscate your money for any extra gifts."

Jiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, staring blankly at the bowl of tortoise paste in his hand.

This, this turtle jelly, is it so expensive?

Jiang Yu knew that Guiling jelly, which was commonly seen in the palace as a tribute, should be of high value, but seeing that Chen Nianguan made it casually, and gave it to his mother and sister so generously, he thought the ingredients were simple,The cost is cheap.

After all, he went to a rice noodle shop, and the most expensive whole roast duck there was only about 150 yuan.

Even if it's the latest scallop sauce, isn't it only two hundred and fifty yuan a can?Only people like him who have no shortage of silver will buy it.

The turtle jelly that can make Miss Chen Si open a shop and earn a living is probably the most expensive, no more than 200 Wen, otherwise how can it attract customers and make a living?

In the end, Chen Nianguan told him, does this bowl of Guiling jelly cost one tael of silver?

It's not that don't think Guiling Paste is not worth such a price, it's really a tael of silver, which is far from the feeling of Chenjia Pho shop.

Chen Nianguan looked at the expression on Jiang Yu's face, "It's so expensive, are you robbing money?", and secretly smug.

That's right, a bowl of Guiling jelly costs one tael of silver.

After all, it is a medicated dessert specially for the court. It is not expensive. How can it bring out the noble status of Guiling Jelly?

Look at the dining environment of Nianyun Tangshui Shop, think about the identity and positioning of the consumers of Tangshui Shop, and the materials of Guiling Jelly, which are ridiculously expensive and too much, and the labor and firewood costs for the long boiling, cost a tael of silver.Pricing is so confident.

She, Chen Nianguan, wanted to make the wives and girls of the Prefecture City proud to be able to eat a bowl of Guiling jelly from the Nianyun Tangshui shop, which became one of the popular luxury activities for the rich and powerful women of the Prefecture City.

"Then, I'll buy it."

Jiang Yu didn't want to argue with Chen Nianguan, and planned to pay for the money, but Chen Nianguan stopped him, "I won't sell it."

"Not for sale? Then why are you doing so much?"

"Ready to open the store tomorrow!" Chen Nianguan said with a smile, "Today, the sugar water and drinks are not sold here. Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang want to eat Guiling jelly, so please come early tomorrow!"

Chen Nianguan snatched the turtle jelly from Jiang Yu's hand, covered it tightly, and put it back in the cupboard.

Jiang Yu took a step back, just in time to catch a glimpse of Sister Fang opening the bulky wooden box placed against the wall. At the bottom, there were actually steaming ice cubes, and on top were large buckets and small buckets with closed lids.

He found it extremely novel.

The tortoise jelly that was taken out of the cupboard was iced, and there was probably ice under the cupboard. This large wooden box was also a cage that could freeze food.

Ms. Chen came up with such a fresh thing for storing frozen food?

Can't tell, she really has some skills.

Then saw a bucket of ice cubes piled in the corner to dissipate heat.

So much ice is used here?Where did it come from?

By the way, the ice cellar.

"Miss Chen, is there ice in the ice cellar?"

"Yes."

"Where did it come from?"

"I bought it from Ruyi Ice Shop, believe it or not?" Chen Nianguan asked with a smile.

Jiang Yu was taken aback.

"By the way, is there any shortage of ice in the Jiangfu? Mr. Jiang, you are also a partner of the cold ice shop, help your own business, and ask the stewards of your Jiangfu to come to my place to buy ice? Now the discount period, a piece of iceJust one tael of silver."

Jiang Yu tried his best to resist the urge to roll his eyes.

Buying two taels of ice from the Ruyi Ice Shop and reselling it for a tael of silver is a loss-making business, who will do it?

Liar!

But since she said there was ice, he just wanted to see it clearly.

When he told Chen Nianguan that he was going to visit the ice cellar, Chen Nianguan was not in a hurry, "Young Master Jiang, you probably forgot, right? When I signed the contract, it was agreed that you are not allowed to make a living with the ice shop.The monthly dividends will be paid to you as scheduled."

"I, can I take care of my own business?" Jiang Yu asked back, "Ms. Chen just said that I am also a partner of the ice shop after all, so why don't I just say different things when I turn around?"

"Okay! Since Mr. Jiang wants to see it, I won't let you see it."

Liu Yang went down to the ice cellar early to inform the four beasts to suspend their ice-making activities. When Chen Nianwan led Jiang Yu into the ice cellar, they came to stay in the shop in the morning, exchanged winks with each other, and followed behind.

"How about it?"

After seven days of hard work by the four beasts, except for the two ice storage areas below the ice shop that have not been filled with ice, the other five ice storage areas have been filled with crystal clear ice cubes.

As soon as Jiang Yu stepped out of the ice cellar, he felt a chill hit him. Seeing the pile of ice again, he was stunned for a while.

Is this, these, really bought ice?

If not, how did she find so much ice in such a short period of time?

Originally, saltpeter powder could make ice. The bought ice species and the new ice produced can also solidify water into ice at low temperature during the storage period. The ice freezes again.As it increases, the amount of water that can be frozen increases.

In the next two days, even if the four beasts fell asleep at night and did not work, the piles of ice not only lowered the temperature of the ice cellar, but also unconsciously and non-stop froze the water that was brought in into ice cubes, increasing the speed of ice production.Of course it's getting faster and faster!

Now, Liu Feng comes here every day to get ice. The Chenjia Pho Shop has completely realized the freedom to use ice, and Dongdian, Master Zeng's side, has also started to buy ice from the cold ice shop.

The days of selling ice and making money are just around the corner.

Jiang Yu left with a stomach full of unhappiness.

I asked Chen Nianwan to buy Guiling jelly, but didn’t buy it. asked Chen Nianwan about the origin of the ice, but didn’t ask, and was still unhappy when got home. When Madam Jiang asked about Guiling jelly, Jiang Yu will open the Nianyun Tangshui shop tomorrow.thing said.

"I have to go to her sugar shop tomorrow to get some food?" Mrs. Jiang glanced at the hot sun, "I really don't want to go out on such a hot day."

Then he hated his son for being useless: "Aren't you clearly doing business with Chen Si? Why can't you do this?"

Jiang Yu glanced at his mother, but said nothing.

No, don't even know where the ice cubes come from, what kind of partner is it!

"When will the tortoise jelly made by Chen Si be able to be sold on the shelves like scallop sauce!" Mrs. Jiang sighed.

After the Chenjia Pho Shop started selling scallop sauce, Jiang Yu bought back ten cans in one go. Mrs. Jiang kept six cans for herself, and gave away the other four cans when visiting friends came to their door.

Just like the turtle jelly she received from Chen Nianguan, she received unanimous praise from sharing it with the wives who came to the door.

These wives also specially asked their housekeepers to buy scallop sauce at Chenjia Pho Shop, and they became the most loyal fans of scallop sauce before they knew it.

Mrs. Jiang waved away her useless son, and walked slowly to the flower hall. There, there were wives from the Prefecture City family who usually came to visit. After hearing Mrs. Jiang tell about the Chen family's tortoise jelly, they came to taste it.

Only then did Madam Jiang temporarily send someone to Wushan Academy to ask her son to come back and go to Miss Chen Si's place to buy tortoise jelly.

As a result, hum!

Useless son, you've embarrassed your mother, but they can't let them know about it.

"Don't mention it, I heard that Miss Chen Si is busy with opening a new shop tomorrow, and she didn't do anything today, so my son went, but he didn't see her."

"How can I do that? I just came here on purpose because I heard Mrs. Jiang say that this tortoise jelly is delicious."

"Hey, don't tell me, it's really delicious." Mrs. Cao, the magistrate of Chuzhou Prefecture, who had the honor to share Guiling paste with Mrs. Jiang, said, "I got some and showed it to the doctor in the mansion. It's really a rumor.The tortoise jelly in it, the ingredients of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials, and some that even doctors can't distinguish, are genuine."

"Mrs. Cao, you are wrong. I gave you Guiling Paste with good intentions, but you secretly showed it to the doctor?" Mrs. Jiang was a little dissatisfied.

She got something good and wanted to share it with others, but Mrs. Cao was lucky, so she went back to check the food she gave her, which was a bit of a shame.

"Hey, didn't I just want to see what the ingredients of this tortoise jelly are and how it's made?" Mrs. Cao hurriedly asked for help.Isn't it possible to eat at any time, how can it be like now, if you want to eat, you have to ask Miss Chen Si to make it?"

Mrs. Jiang's unhappiness still persisted.

"Since Chen Si knows how to make this tortoise paste, why don't you invite Madam Jiang to come to your house and cook for you?" Someone also asked.

"Our Jiang Mansion just invites you, it depends on whether they are willing or not." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "Then Chen Si's new shop is dedicated to selling turtle jelly!"

"Really? As you said, a new shop that will open tomorrow?" The ladies were surprised.

"That's right, the double-skin milk, the sweet bowl, and those drinks I invited you to taste before, are they from her shop?" Mrs. Jiang didn't remember for a while, and it was her personal maid who reminded, "Madam, is it?"Nianyun Tangshui Shop, you still have the red ticket brought back by the young master, saying that there will be free food."

"Oh, that's right, there is still a red ticket!" Madam Jiang clapped her hands, and asked the servant girl to take out the red ticket and distribute it to the female relatives, "Yes, then you can give away free snacks with the red ticket."

"What free food? Can it be as delicious as our own cook?" Some people disdain.

"But, a cook who can make tortoise jelly can't be too bad at cooking, right?"

"Then you want to support this little-known Chen Si tomorrow?"

"For the turtle jelly, I have to go and find out!" Someone murmured, "I heard that in the palace, Concubine Li relies on eating this jelly for her beauty, her face..."

The female relatives exchanged glances with each other, everything was kept silent.

In the Nianyun Tangshui shop, Mrs. Liu, the head of the store, was distributing tooling and on-the-job training to the recruited staff, while Chen Nianguan was still dealing with snacks in the back kitchen.

Although diners will come for sugar water tomorrow, some snacks still need to be prepared. Firstly, the new store will open and provide diners with some free benefits. Second, it can also enrich the types of food in the Tangshui shop!

Chen Nianguan has already decided on two snacks, one is Southern Milk Crispy Pork and the other is Crepe Fish Curd.

Well, the weather is hot, dace is active, and it’s the time of the year to start selling fish curd. The Chenjia Pho shop has also begun to supply this kind of food, not only used in soup Pho, but also directly sold by the catty, selling well.

Gradually, more and more people, in addition to eating fish curd at Yueman Building in Prefecture City, also went to eat fish curd at the noodle shop, and Tangshui shop naturally picked up the fish curd directly from the noodle shop.

Now Chen Nianguan is making the third dish.

After all, Nanru Xiaocrifried Pork and Crepe Fish Curd are considered meat. What if there is a wife or girl who doesn’t like to eat meat?

Then she will make a snack without meat!

This snack is a pastry, fried muffins!

Because the raw materials for making muffins are all available, such as milk for making double skin milk, eggs, and flour. Naturally, sugar has been stored in the store for a long time, so the simplest version of pancakes can be made on the spot.muffin.

Take an appropriate amount of flour in a wooden bowl, add sugar, milk, eggs and soybean oil in turn and stir to make a paste, and finally add yeast, then cover and let stand for half an hour to an hour.

This is great for the back kitchen of the shop, because the batter can be prepared in advance or continued at any time.

But the more troublesome thing is to find a temporary yeast to replace the soda powder that can be found at any time in modern times, so that the batter will ferment and become softer after frying.

It was Liu Feng who solved this problem for her.

There is a shop that sells steamed buns near the Chenjia Pho shop. Liu Feng usually does the shopping, and sometimes he will bring them to that shop to buy ingredients. The relationship is good. He heard that Chen Nianguan wanted something that can ferment the dough, so he ran toIn the bun shop, bought some wine yeast. It is said that the bun shop uses these wine yeast to make steamed buns soft and delicious.

Therefore, Chen Nianguan was able to let the batter ferment smoothly.

After enough time, take out the frying pan, don’t use oil, and use low heat. After the pan is heated up, scoop a spoonful of the paste, and the paste will spread out into an irregular circle. When one side is browned, you can turn it overOn the other side, bake it until golden brown.

Such a pan-fried muffin is ready.

The thickness of the muffins can be determined according to the amount of batter scooped up. If you think the irregular round shape is not good-looking, you can trim it with a knife after cooking.

Chen Nianguan finished a bowl of batter in one go, and got a big plate of thin muffins.

She picked up a muffin, put a layer of honey in the middle, and then added another muffin, and it became a delicate sandwich muffin!

Or stack several muffins, spread some sweet sauce on top, cut a few slices of seasonal fruit slices or small pieces for topping, and it will become a Western-style pastry, which is also possible!

How to match it all depends on personal preference.

Liu Yun and Sister Fang, who were watching from the side, expressed that they had learned it, while Si Ya stared at the muffins and couldn't help swallowing.

Oh, how should put it, the work cousin introduced is good or bad, good or bad.

It's hard to say, but of course she is by the side of Master Chen, so there is no use for her!

It can be said that it is good, of course, if you have a lot of money, you can pay it back, and you can often eat delicious food, which I have never heard of or seen before, and the taste is still very good.

She also likes it very much.

Then will she still take this job in a month?Si Ya started to worry now.
