Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 32: Repair the restaurant

"Ning Xi, this is Mr. Liu from the Lu family class." Rong Daquan politely pointed to the person beside him and introduced to Ning Xi.

The man held a large roll of blueprints in his hand, and at this time he also clenched his fists towards Ningxi and said, "Miss Ning."

Seeing that this man was wearing a long gown and looked like a scholar, Ning Xi nodded at him hurriedly: "Mr. Liu, how are you!" He looked at Rong Daquan with puzzled eyes, what's going on?

Rong Daquan excitedly told Ning Xi: "The Lu family class is the best clay tile team in the capital. Even the emperor's other palace in Xishan invited the masters of the Lu family class to supervise and supervise the construction. The palace of the King of Kings, the palace of the King of Yan, and the garden of the Prime Minister Song’s family are all the work of the Lu family class, and all the dignitaries in the capital who want to repair the garden are proud to be invited to the Lu family class!”

Ning Xi was taken aback.

Mr. Liu spread out the blueprint in his hand for Ning Xi to see: "Miss Ning, please take a look, this is the floor plan of the house we have built in the past two years. Do you still like our craftsmanship?"

Ning Xi laughed dryly: "That Mr. Liu, I just want to build a small restaurant." Pulling Rong Daquan hard, he whispered in his ear, "What are you doing? Can we afford such a big show?"

Mr. Liu said: "It doesn't matter, we can also do the restaurant. I don't know what Miss Ning wants to make. I also ask Miss Ning to tell you your plan, and then I will go back and draw a drawing for you. Come here."

"Mr. Liu, we don't have much money, and I didn't intend to spend too much money on decoration, you see..."

"You can rest assured about the price. Our Lujiaban guarantees that the materials used are real and the price is fair. Your three-story restaurant, plus a small yard, will not cost more than 1,000 taels to repair. After the drawings come out We can give you a detailed price list according to the materials and workmanship of each item, and you can refuse it if you are not satisfied after reading it.”

"It's so good?" Ning Xi doubted her ears, how could such a good thing be met by herself? Shouldn't there be a trap behind this?

"Naturally, our Lu family class has been passed down in the capital for more than 150 years. What we pay attention to is that we are not deceived. We can sign a contract before starting the construction. If we charge you a penny more, you will also You can sue the government."

Ning Xi was still not at ease, and quietly asked Rong Daquan, "Brother Rong, is this reliable?"

Rong Daquan had been explained before his arrival. This Lu family class was invited by the fifth prince to help Ning Xi. Now it's just a pretence and a passing scene, so he vowed to tell Ning Xi that the Lu family class Absolutely reliable, this is a good opportunity that fell from the sky, so Ning Xi must not miss it.

Ning Xi also thinks about it, she has nothing on her body except the 2,000 taels of silver that An Mingyue compensates. Even if they try to lie to her, they won't get any benefit. It's better to believe that she saved her in a previous life. Earth, in exchange for such good luck! Therefore, he said cheerfully: "Then there is Mr. Lau Liu."

This Mr. Liu was a full-time designer in Lu's class, and he went to the original site of Shuangxi Building with Ning Xi to survey the terrain on the spot, and listened to Ning Xi's ideas by the way.

Ningxi also went to get to know the famous restaurants in the capital during this time. In addition to Quanjufu, there are Pinxianju, Zuiyue Pavilion and Yipin Lou, all of which are quite good restaurants. In terms of decoration and dishes, they all take the route of splendor to meet the preferences of dignitaries and nobles, and these restaurants have strong backers. I'm afraid it's not that easy.

But if you want to take the popular middle-low-end route, you won't earn much money from hard work, and you will be sorry for your craftsmanship and disappoint the trust of Rong Daquan. You must know that if people go to the big restaurants above, That's anyone who can be a chef.

Ning Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of one of her advantages, that is, her cooking skills draw on the strengths of many families, and she is well-versed. There are various cuisines across the country that she does not know.

You must know that chefs in this era still have a very heavy concept of mentoring. They can only learn from one person in their entire life and learn the dishes of one faction. , so Quanjufu is mainly Shandong cuisine, Pinxianju is Huaiyang cuisine, and Yipin Lou is the world of Sichuan cuisine, if you go to Yipin Lou, but want to eat Huaiyang cuisine Wensi tofu, usually If you can't eat it, even if you can make it, it will definitely not taste authentic.

But this problem, when it comes to Ningxi, is not a problem at all. As long as you can order it, there is no dish that she can't make.

The capital city is prosperous and there are many opportunities. Businessmen from all over the country come and go. Even the officials in the court are from all over the world. Even if it is a small gathering of colleagues, it cannot guarantee that everyone has the same taste. Wouldn't everyone be happy in a place where people, no matter where they come from, can eat their favorite flavors?

Therefore, Ning Xi imagined that the Shuangxi Lou she was going to make would be such an all-inclusive restaurant.

She also thought about the design style of the restaurant. The restaurant has been demolished. This time, it will cover four floors. Each floor is in the style of a cuisine. The first floor is Shandong cuisine. , people can feel the style of this restaurant as soon as they enter the door; Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine on the second floor are simple in appearance and rich in connotation. The handsome and elegant boy; the fourth floor is Huaiyang cuisine, like the beautiful and beautiful Jiangnan beauties, graceful and long-lasting.

Ning Xi asked Mr. Liu a little embarrassedly, "Will my request be too complicated?" Ning Xi didn't know whether it was possible to express such an artistic conception by decoration alone, such as young gentlemen and Jiangnan beauties. end.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu's face was full of self-confidence: "The architectural styles of various places have been dabbling in the next, but in the same house, to show so many different styles at the same time, it is also a problem for the next. I will try my best to draw a drawing that will satisfy Miss Ning next time." The words were full of eagerness to try.

Ning Xi happily said, "Mr. Liu will have to work hard then." Professionals are really different. Although Ning Xi can say it, she can design it herself, but she can't do it at all.

It's just that Rong Daquan has different opinions on her idea of ​​doing a whole cuisine. As a professional chef, he still has a little bit of his own style: "As the old saying goes, there are specialties in the arts, and only It is a cuisine, and the essence of it is enough for a person to study in a lifetime. A chef, who exhausts his life, as long as he can cook a cuisine, it is already very amazing, and you still want to do it. The whole cuisine, this will only be greedy and chewy, I am afraid that you want to do everything well, but you can't do anything well."

Ning Xi tilted her head and asked, "Brother Rong, which cuisine do you think I belong to?"

These words stopped Rong Daquan. Nowadays, the signature dishes of major cuisines are mainly vegetarian dishes. Usually, these meat dishes prepared by Ningxi have both the light and delicate Huaiyang cuisine, and the spicy and fragrant Sichuan cuisine. It's not easy to really break it down. Could it be that someone can really be so talented and learn the eight major cuisines at a young age?

"But, even if you can make any kind of cuisine, we can't make it!"

"Brother Rong, don't worry, with me, I will definitely be able to teach you. In fact, cooking is like practicing martial arts. Although each school has different moves, see It looks dazzling, but it is inseparable from one fundamental, that is to conquer the enemy and win. The same is true of cooking, no matter how many genres and cuisines there are, isn't the ultimate goal to make the raw materials delicious? As long as we If we stick to this foundation, then what method does it use to achieve this goal, and what does it matter? We should abandon the sectarian view and integrate the practices of various schools, so as to better carry forward our food!”

"Ningxi, I didn't expect that you are a girl and you also have research on martial arts? Oh, no, I mean, you are really willing to teach us everything you have learned. ?"

"Hehe, no, I'm just talking nonsense about the way of practicing martial arts. As long as everyone sincerely thinks about Sungai Tower, I promise that I will never treat you badly. Everyone is a member of Sungai Tower. I Why hide it?"

In terms of Rong Daquan's traditional concept of mentoring, he still doesn't quite accept Ning Xi's idea, but Ning Xi's doing this is of great benefit to himself, so he doesn't object anymore. , but silently decided in his heart that he must take care of helping Ning Xi in the kitchen in the future, and not let anyone steal his teacher out. Ning Xi is young and inexperienced, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, but he knows it.

Mr. Liu quickly drew the drawings of Shuangxi Tower according to Ningxi's intention, and the details of the shape of each table and chair, as well as the arrangement of each decoration, were marked in detail. Sure enough, each floor has a completely different style, which not only fully expresses the artistic conception that Ning Xi wants, but also adds a lot of his own opinions, which makes Ning Xi amazed. This Mr. Liu, if placed in modern times, That's definitely a world-class artist! Sure enough, working with a master is a peace of mind.

Ningxi made the decision immediately and did it! Some of the Lu family's class were skilled craftsmen, and they started working in full swing immediately. Ning Xi followed him from beginning to end. Seeing the tall buildings rise to the ground, the inner satisfaction is really not a little bit, compared to the ones she had in her previous life The industry is different. This is completely built by her own hands and feet and built according to her own will. No matter whether it can be successfully operated in the future, at least at this moment, she is satisfied.
