fake prince

Chapter 603
"Except for a few people who said that there is still room for improvement, I am basically satisfied with the tasting." The wild Taoist who went out for a trip also came back at this time and whispered to Su Ziji.

"Especially the dishes and soups that are added with..., one counts as one, and they are all full of praise." Because there are other people here, when the wild Taoist mentioned "worm powder", he skipped it directly.

"Congratulations, my lord! Judging from today's situation, the new restaurant should be a great success selling seafood!"

Seeing the men talking, Ye Buhui saw the food and wine coming up, so he ordered the dishes with chopsticks: "Let them talk, just the two of us, we can't get excited, and we can't listen, so we can just enjoy the food."

Zhou Yao held up her chopsticks and took a sip, her eyes lit up slightly: "It's very fresh, very fresh."

There are a lot of flavors, and the customers who come today are actually seafood customers, not high-ranking officials, but wealthy family members who came to Beijing and Tai students. Ordinary people have heard that the price of tasting is lower than after the opening, and most Don't dare to move forward, and what these tasting customers bring to the restaurant is not only confidence, but also free advertising.

As long as these people go back and tell their relatives and friends about the delicacy of Mengyuanlou's dishes, once they spread it to ten, ten to hundreds, on the day of the official opening, it will be several times more lively than today, and the restaurant will be an instant hit. opened up.

Su Ziji nodded, and was also very satisfied with what Ye Taoist did according to his arrangement.

Among other things, in this kind of matter, wild people can often draw inferences from one instance and never make mistakes.

Su Ziji even thought that if the wild Taoists had not been with gangs, but had been with merchants, they might have already achieved something.

But in that case, I would never meet such capable subordinates as Ye Taoist, so many things are all about fate.

No chance not to get together.

Just as he was secretly feeling emotional, he heard someone talking at the stairs on the third floor: "This place is indeed very lively, it seems that the business is good."

A voice was a little younger and thinner, different from the man's, and asked, "You said just now that all the sea fish here come to Beijing alive? My master came here to taste them. If there are fakes, be careful of yours." Tongue!"

The waiter hurriedly laughed and said: "Oh, please rest assured that the seafood business in our restaurant is all live animals, and we would never dare to fool the distinguished guests with dead fish! Let's see what to order, Xiao Let the back kitchen prepare it immediately, and never let the guest officials down!"

Hearing that there seemed to be a table over there to sit down and start ordering food, Su Ziji on the screen raised his eyebrows slightly, the voice was very familiar.

"Eunuch Zhao?" The person who came was actually an acquaintance.

He turned around and took a look through the gap in the middle of the screen. It was indeed Eunuch Zhao who sat at a table by the window with a few people.

They were all in casual clothes. Seeing that they came in such a timely manner, they must have been paying attention to their movements.

Su Ziji didn't intend to make Ye Buhui worry, so he looked away and motioned for everyone to move their chopsticks. He ate slowly while listening to the conversation.

I heard a little eunuch pretending to be an entourage over there, talking to Eunuch Zhao in a low voice about Mengyuanlou’s advertisement to the Taixue. Eunuch Zhao sneered when he heard this, "It's interesting."

"Isn't it? This Mengyuanlou is really different. I thought of using this method to attract business. If it can be a big hit, I'm afraid it will immediately rank among the top ten restaurants in the capital."

Hearing what the little eunuch said, Eunuch Zhao glanced at the people eating on the third floor. Although the price on the third floor is slightly more expensive than the one below, the environment is better after all, but generally speaking, because the seafood in this restaurant is not Expensive, and a great deal.

It is really cooked with live fish, which can keep fresh. This alone is the best way for this newly opened restaurant to gain a foothold in the capital, not to mention, there is such a publicity.

"Daihou really knows how to think of a way." Even though he had seen many ways to climb up in the palace, Eunuch Zhao still couldn't help but be moved by Su Ziji's flexible mind.

While talking, a dish and a soup were served.

A few eunuchs waited on Eunuch Zhao to eat and drink. This behavior did not arouse the surprise of others. After all, there are no ordinary people who can come to eat seafood. The father-in-law's move is not conspicuous.

After trying, the meat was not poisonous, and the fishbone was removed, so Eunuch Zhao picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth: "Huh?"

The fish was just in the mouth, so Eunuch Zhao, who has always been picky, was stunned, and then nodded: "It is indeed fresh, but the craftsmanship is a bit sloppy."

This is obviously not done by a first-class chef, otherwise it could be done better, it's a pity.

He took another spoonful of soup with a small spoon, and drank it slowly. After drinking the soup, he was really shocked: "It's so fresh?"

"Could it be broth?"

This is not impossible, but after thinking about it, I am afraid that the price will not be as high as it is now. Is there another way?

After all, based on his understanding of Su Ziji, he shouldn't be someone who slaps a swollen face to pretend to be fat, and will lose money and make money.

While talking, the dishes they ordered were served one after another. Eunuch Zhao had tried them one by one, and he felt that it was not easy to act as a marquis.

"In addition to Mengyuanlou, Daihou is also planning to open two new restaurants. In this way, he will have four restaurants in the capital. Even if the old restaurant does not focus on seafood, the business will be prosperous."

"Looking at the situation, if it stabilizes, you can earn 800 taels per floor per month, and 5000 taels a year..." This is still a conservative estimate, and Eunuch Zhao couldn't help but be surprised by this calculation.

Looking at this restaurant again, there is something wrong with his eyes: "Even if it is the kings, the annual income of the palace is only 3 to [-] taels."

Only three restaurants can make such a profit. If Su Ziji does other businesses in the future, is it still worth it?
After eating a few more mouthfuls, Eunuch Zhao, who just came to try the food to see the situation, stopped moving his chopsticks. It was just a small surprise that he couldn't eat any food in the palace.

"Go, let's go home."

These people left one after another without staying for a long time, and Su Ziji, who turned out from the screen, looked at the back of them leaving thoughtfully.

Obviously, the eunuch was watching the situation and went back to report to the emperor.

"Business has to be done. If you can't even manage the Daifu, not to mention that the evaluation in the eyes of the emperor has plummeted, even if you don't have a good reputation in the government and the public, then who will take refuge in me?"

"However, there are drawbacks to a quick solution. The emperor should divert his attention."

"It's time for me to cry." Su Ziji muttered after returning to his seat and sitting down.

This time, not only Ye Buhui and Zhou Yao didn't know why, even the wild Taoist was surprised, looking at his master, wondering what he meant by this.

With the hearing ability of a wild Taoist, he couldn't hear the whispered conversation of Eunuch Zhao and his party just now.

Crying miserably, now that Daihou is thriving, why cry miserably?
