Chapter 136 Three-Partnership
It's dusk, and the hot pot ingredients are ready. Chen Afu also made two kinds of dipping dishes, one with sesame oil and one with dipping sauce. If it is a red pot, use a sesame oil dish. If you eat it in a white pot, you can also use dipping sauce to eat hotpot mutton.
The smell was so fragrant, the weather was cold, the kitchen was filled with steam and aroma, and several men were already greedy. They were sitting in the kitchen eating hot pot with bowls in hand. Some liked the red pot, while others liked the white pot. They were eating and drinking, extremely comfortable. Mother Song and Mother Huang helped the children fish out the meat and vegetables in the white pot and ate happily.
After Yang Mingyuan ate for a while, he eagerly called Chen Afu aside to ask for advice. Chen Afu talked about what kind of stove and what kind of pot are the best for eating hot pot. He also said that his own seasonings and dishes are not complete. What would be more delicious if added, as well as some of the details of eating hot pot and the decoration of the store... …
Yang Mingyuan was so excited after hearing this that he was gearing up to express his intention to do something big. He also said that this thing should be driven to the capital. Think about it and forget it, I don't have a strong backing, and it will be a disaster if a good thing is missed by the powerful. Why not open it in Dingzhou Mansion and see the relationship between Chen Afu and the young master of Tangyuan. The master of Tangyuan will also take care of the restaurant...
After everyone had finished eating, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Huang helped Mrs. Wang clean up the kitchen. Manager Luo and others were about to leave, and he was still in a good mood of talking.
Manager Luo didn't want him to "negotiate business" at someone else's house so late. After all, Chen Afu was the master's master and couldn't let her reputation get in the way. Then he said, "It's so late, Boss Yang, stop looking for the inn and go to my house to rest."
Only then did Yang Mingyuan feel that it was already dark outside, and it was indeed difficult to pester the girl to talk anymore, so he agreed to go to Luo's house, thinking that we could talk about it when Chen Afu had a rest at noon tomorrow.
He said that he would take Yang Chao and Yang Qian to Luo's house to sleep, but the two little people would not leave, so they had to sleep here.
In the evening, it got colder and the night wind blew loudly. Mother Song wrapped the little girl Chu who had lost her energy in a quilt and carried her into the carriage. The people in Tangyuan, Yang Mingyuan and Master Kang all left, and the family finally became quiet.
After the guests left, Wang and Chen Afu took out the remaining large pot of meat. In addition to the duck, which will be stewed tomorrow, the pork and ribs were rubbed with salt, sugar, pepper, and yellow sauce, and then marinated for three days and hung under the eaves. After drying, it becomes pork ribs with meat sauce.
Afterwards, they washed the children and asked A Lu to lead Dabao and Yang Chao to sleep.
Originally, Yang Qian and Huang's mother were allowed to sleep in the west room of the new courtyard, but Xiao Nizi made a fuss and wanted to sleep with Aunt Chen. Chen Afu was not used to sleeping on the same kang with an unfamiliar adult, so he had to take Yang Qian to sleep in the east room and let Huang's mother sleep alone in the west room. Zhuifeng, Qiqi, and Huihui didn't want to, so they all went to Chen Alu's house again.
Under the quilt, Yang Qian was very excited, her soft little body arched back and forth in Chen Afu's arms, giggling. Girls and boys are different, which makes Chen Afu extremely soft-hearted.
Chen Afu was afraid that she would not be able to sleep due to being too excited, so he told her a story and she calmed down.
Before Xiao Nizi fell asleep, she said Nunuo, "Auntie, Sister Qian likes you so much."
Chen Afu smiled and kissed her forehead.
After breakfast the next day, the family excitedly sent Alu, who was wearing a small robe, to the door. They saw him walking to Shangshui Village with Wu Mu and several children waiting at the entrance of the village.
A few days ago, Chen Ming and A Lu went to Shangshui Village to visit Mr. Jiang, carrying two pieces of meat and two packages of snacks. Mr. Jiang took Alu's entrance examination and felt that he had a certain foundation and was very smart. In addition, Manager Luo had already greeted him and not only accepted him, but the tuition was charged according to the standard for children in Sheungshui Village.
Seeing the envy in Dabao's eyes, Chen Afu smiled and said, "Dabao will go to school with his uncle next spring."
After sending Alu away, Chen Afu cleaned up the house, Dabao fed the chickens and birds, and then let the chickens out to find food before calling Yang Chao and Yang Qian who were still sleeping.
After they had finished their meal, several people, two dogs and two birds went to Tangyuan together. Usually, because Alu is at home, wealth will not be lost. But today A Lu is gone, Dabao and Zhui Feng are leaving again, Xiao Wangcai is quitting, and even Zulu is crying.
Finally, Wang said, "Yes, yes, let it follow."
Chen Afu led the children to play all morning, and the novel gameplay made Yang Chao and Yang Qian extremely happy.
Because two more children joined the class and because these two children were extremely active, the kindergarten class was a little more lively than usual.
After lunch, Chen Afu and Huang's mother were taking Yang Chao and Yang Qian home. The little brother and sister are very smart. When they see that Dabao won't leave, they want to leave, knowing that they will definitely be taken back to their home in the county. He stopped and cried loudly. Chen Afu hugged Yang Chao and Huang Mama hugged Yang Qian before carrying them out of Tangyuan.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Yang Mingyuan and the carriage waiting outside the door, and Luo Yuan was also there.
Chen Afu, Huang's mother and two children entered the car. Yang Mingyuan and Luo Yuan sat outside the car and went to Chen's house in Xiangluo Village.
Yang Mingyuan wanted to continue talking, so he asked Mother Huang to put the two children to sleep.
Last night, Yang Mingyuan talked with Manager Luo for half the night, and Manager Luo also said that he was attracted by it. Manager Luo also instinctively believed that this novel food and novel way of eating would definitely bring good business. In addition, he had a good impression of Yang Mingyuan, so he accepted the shares given by Yang Mingyuan. Manager Luo also said that he couldn't ask for his shares in vain, and Tangyuan would also provide some money. Yang Mingyuan is not stupid enough to really ask for their money, he just wants to take less money.
Although Chu Lingxuan came to Dingzhou to open a government office, he did not separate from the main family of the Marquis' Mansion in Beijing. Tangyuan was the dowry of Chu Lingxuan's mother, which was Chu Lingxuan's private property, so it was equivalent to Chu Lingxuan owning a share.
With the Chu family joining, Yang Mingyuan was no longer afraid of being remembered by those powerful people. Several people agreed to open a restaurant in Beijing. Beijing is more prosperous and wealthy, and the market is larger.
The restaurant was named Hongyun Hotpot Restaurant, specializing in hotpot. Yang Mingyuan holds 60% of the shares, Chen Afu and Tangyuan each hold 20%.
Chen Afu glanced at Yang Mingyuan, he is really capable. Being able to pull Chu Lingxuan in, he also has the protection of the old Marquis Chu, plus the unique hotpot, he will definitely be able to achieve great things.
As a technical shareholder, she also made suggestions with all her strength. Before the conversation was over, it was time to go to Tangyuan to work again.
Yang Mingyuan was still not satisfied, so he did not go home. Instead, he took his two children to Tangyuan, and the two children were so happy that they kept making noises. In the evening, they had dinner at Manager Luo's house, and after dinner, they continued to talk.
How to combine Chen Afu's suggestions with the characteristics of the current restaurant business, how to purchase the best ingredients, how to promote sales, etc.
Because the Luo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also present, they talked later. It was probably at the end of the night when Chen Afu took Dabao and the Yang family brothers and sisters home in a carriage. Originally, the younger brothers and sisters were asked to rest in Tangyuan, but they refused and insisted on going to Chen's house.
