After chatting for a while, Su Yun called. She said that the manufacturers had sent back the tables and chairs that they had cleaned. They were going to start their new business tomorrow.
Liu Yan could no longer eat at Shi's house, so he quickly followed Yang Xiaohu to the county town.
After the shop was cleaned up, Liu Yan and Su Yun busied themselves in the kitchen.
"Yun-jie, I've already settled the matter of breaking into the shop with someone, there won't be any more of this happening in the future."
Su Yun was surprised. "How did you settle this?"
"Actually, those people are some trash from our town. I got a few friends to come forward, but they've already lost money. 16,000, you'll have to charge them back to us later."
Her hands also slowed down as she faintly sighed, "It's really the first time I've encountered something like this not long after I've returned to the county city to open a shop. I didn't sleep well last night and I've been thinking about how to deal with it, thinking about how to end it. I didn't expect you to secretly handle it."
She raised her head and forced a smile, "This matter almost destroyed me. Thank you, Liu Yan. Fortunately, you were here."
"It's fine." Looking at her slightly downcast expression, Liu Yan's heart twitched. Su Yun had divorced and started her own business, so she was a very strong woman. She couldn't help but be helpless when this kind of thing happened, and it was normal for it to affect her.
After all, I've been living here all my life. It's normal for me to know some friends, but I'm not good at cooking after all. Liu Yan consoled.
Su Yun smiled sweetly as she tilted her head and looked at him, "Liu Yan, I really suspect that you are lying to me."
"How did I lie to you?" Liu Yan's heart trembled. He simply could not stand Su Yun tilting his head and looking at him with such a gentle and pleasant expression.
"You're so good at teasing and improving, your medical skills are amazing and your looks aren't bad. How come you don't have a girlfriend?" Su Yun asked.
"I really don't have a girlfriend." Liu Yan was instantly amused. Being praised by a mature beauty like this made his bones feel much lighter.
"That's weird, if I was a few years younger and knew about you, I would definitely like you." Su Yun pursed her lips and smiled.
These words made Liu Yan feel completely comfortable. He said, "Being a few years older isn't a problem. It's just that I'm a female junior holding onto a gold brick."
"Come on."
Amidst the cheerful and cheerful atmosphere, the three of them prepared to open the restaurant tomorrow. After they closed the door, Su Yun invited the two of them to have dinner at midnight.
The next day, the restaurant was still open for business as usual. After half a day, the business was not as good as before. The impatient Yang Xiaohu mumbled a few sentences, then took the menu to the side of the street and shouted.
Perhaps it was because Yang Xiaohu's hard work had worked, but in the evening, there were more guests, and even more than before. The three of them were very busy.
After closing up, Liu Hao finally arrived. However, he was alone today.
"Brother Hao, you're late. What are you eating today?" Liu Yan hurriedly went to receive him.
"I'm not eating today. I have serious business with you." Liu Hao smiled as he pulled Liu Yan to sit down, and said: "I've discussed it with the owner today, and the method that you told me about is alright, but if you want to go to our restaurant and teach the chef how to cook, then if the medicinal cuisine tastes the same as yours, then the money will definitely be yours."
"It must be the same taste!" Liu Yan was ecstatic. It didn't matter if he had money or not. The main reason was that he didn't want to provoke that mysterious Eighth Lord.
"Come, let's have a look at the kitchen." Liu Yan quickly pulled him into the kitchen. When Su Yun saw him, she greeted him with a slight smile.
Liu Yan took out the medicine bag that he had made earlier and showed it to Liu Hao. He said, "These are all prepared before we start business. Every time we cook, we will throw them into the pot. After cooking, we will add other ingredients."
"Okay, that's fine. Bring all the samples with you tomorrow. I'll wait for you at the restaurant. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first." Liu Hao smiled and nodded.
After Liu Hao left, Liu Yan shouted excitedly a few times. Su Yun walked out while wiping her hands. With a face full of curiosity, she asked, "Liu Yan, Boss Liu is looking for you to ask about the medicinal ingredients?"
Liu Yan took a deep breath and called two people over. He told Su Yun and Yang Xiaohu about what happened that day at the Durkin Wine House.
"Damn!" Eighth Lord, I've heard of him! Other people all say that he's the boss of our county's underground, and I heard that he's also involved in poisons. " Yang Xiaohu said in fear.
Liu Yan felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, "Hu Zi, don't speak nonsense. Do you really believe what you hear? "I'm the boss of Wan Hao restaurant."
Liu Yan shook his head and said, "These kinds of things are not things that we can handle. We'll do proper business and work together."
Su Yun nodded. She spoke in a solemn voice, "Liu Yan, you cannot earn too much from this. Otherwise, you will anger others."
"I'll just take back the cost price, I don't dare to earn money from him." Liu Yan hurriedly said.
The next day, after arriving at the store, Liu Yan grabbed a snakeskin bag full of medicinal herbs and went to the Thousand Hero Restaurant.
Wan Hao restaurant's location was very good, in the old city, it was a place where people stayed and ate as one, and I heard that it was even a three star hotel. It was one of the first restaurants to develop in the county, where friends treated people to meals and wedding banquets were held, it was a very respectable thing to have.
Outside of the restaurant was a parking lot the size of a basketball court. Although it was still morning, there were quite a few cars parked inside. Just as Liu Yan turned into the parking lot, Liu Hao's shout suddenly came from a tea shop to the side.
"Why don't you get some good packaging?" Seeing the snakeskin bag in Liu Yan's hands, Liu Hao said in amusement, "Come in and have some tea."
Liu Yan quickly carried the snakeskin bag into the tea shop. The aroma of tea wafted in the air. There was a middle-aged man cleaning the counter and there was a tea table at the side. The teapot was steaming hot.
"Brother Hao, you opened this shop?" Liu Yan asked curiously.
"How could I have that kind of ability? This belongs to my boss." Liu Hao smiled.
After drinking a few cups of hot tea, Liu Hao gave some instructions. Then, he brought Liu Yan into the restaurant and went to the kitchen.
In the long kitchen, there were tables on both sides, and in the middle, there were places where seasonings and ingredients were placed. The division of labor was orderly, and now that there was a chef making breakfast, an enticing fragrance wafted over.
"Good morning, Brother Hao."
"Good morning, Brother Hao."
"Morning, who's that? Go and call Old Li over." Many of the chefs at work greeted Liu Hao. Liu Hao greeted them before opening a large steamer. Inside was a steaming hot breakfast filled with dumplings and dumplings.
"Come, eat whatever you want. When Old Li arrives, he's the head chef here. He's been working here for almost ten years." Liu Hao laughed as he spoke.
"Alright." Liu Yan didn't dare to be impudent. As such, whatever Liu Hao took, he would take as well.
After eating a few bites, a slightly plump middle-aged man entered the restaurant.
"Liu Hao, your mother stole something for your father to eat."
"Look at your big belly. You usually eat quite a lot." Liu Hao cursed him with a smile and introduced him.
"Hello, Master Li." Liu Yan hurriedly greeted him.
"You're the boss of the Returning Spring Medicine Restaurant. Good boy, you're so young, even my son is older than you." Master Li examined Liu Yan from head to toe, looking quite surprised.
"Alright, stop being so long-winded. He's much better than that wastrel like you. Let's get to work. I still need to take him to see the boss later." Liu Hao urged.
When Liu Yan heard this, his heart went numb. What was going on? Were they going to see that Eighth Lord later?
"There's something wrong with Eighth Lord's leg. Please take a look at it later." As if noticing Liu Yan's nervousness, Liu Hao laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Alright."
Arriving at a place specially used for making soup, there was a row of stoves filled with terrines of varying sizes. Liu Yan was able to tell that the quality of these terrines were all of excellent quality, at least better than his.
Liu Yan poured out all the medicinal packs from the snakeskin bag. He had already sorted them into three different categories. Each dish had three medicinal packs and each pack contained a plastic bag.
"What kind of medicine is this, for it to be so strong?" Master Li picked up a medicinal bag, opened it and took a look. Immediately, he frowned.
"The base of this dish is called 'Boiling Mountain Fire'. It's fine even if you cook it in a hotpot or soup. Our two dishes are made from this medicine bag." Liu Yan took out the menu he had brought from the store and explained it to him.
Liu Hao pushed Master Li a little and said: "Don't ask about his secret recipe. This is his life." "Roots."
"Alright, you can start now. I'll see what you can do. Tell me what materials you need, everything is here." Master Li smiled.
Back to Spring Medicine Restaurant's main purpose was to sell the Little Medicine Soup. There were about 10 of them and there were four main dishes. The small medicine soup was very convenient to make. After the ingredients were ready, the small medicine bag could be put into the pot to simmer.
Liu Yan took out a piece of paper and showed it to Master Li. Written on the paper were the cooking methods of each dish as well as the different types of effects.
As Master Li continued to introduce and cook, all of the dishes were quickly cooked in clay pots. He continued to watch from the side and chatted about some details with Liu Yan, who answered all of them one by one.
As time passed, the kitchen started bustling with noise and excitement. It was time to prepare lunch, and the medicinal soups were also ready. Master Li picked up a spoon and savored them one by one.
"Yes, it tastes the same as your store." Master Li answered with certainty.
"I'm honest. I usually do this." Liu Yan smiled faintly.
After all the dishes were tasted, Master Li nodded his head and said to Liu Hao: "Sure, I've mastered the method pretty much. I'll find out for myself later and we'll be able to change the menu in a few days. Tell the boss about it."
"Alright." Liu Hao smiled in satisfaction.
"Master Li, don't randomly change the medicine in the medicine bag." Liu Yan hurriedly instructed.
"Don't worry, I know." Master Li chuckled.
