Chapter 289 The joy of eating skewers

"Wait, there's no need to line up, come with me."

The maid didn't know what happened, but she saw her wife bypassing the crowd and walking straight towards Juxian Pavilion.

In front of the restaurant, Jiang Shuyue looked at the supply of freshly grilled meat skewers.

Hu Qing and Nangong Zeyue did not expect that everyone would accept barbecue so quickly.

Seeing the waiter carrying the meat skewers out from the kitchen, Jiang Shuyue stopped a waiter and asked, "How much rabbit meat is left in the kitchen?"

"It's less than half of the time to report back to my boss."

Before closing the city gate yesterday, Zhang Cai and a few people sent two full carts of rabbit meat into the city.

Since it was winter, the rabbit meat would not go bad when transported from Zhuangzi to the capital.

Jiang Shuyue specifically ordered Zhang Cai to kill and skin the rabbits and send them to the capital.

Zhuangzi had enough manpower, so she asked the head of the village to collect all the skins of the rabbits after slaughtering them.

Many of the villagers used to make a living by hunting, and it was not difficult for them to make animal skins.

Hu Qing raised his head and glanced at the crowded crowd, "Miss, it's only been on sale for less than an hour. I'm afraid there won't be enough rabbit meat today."

Jiang Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "Is there any extra mutton in the kitchen?"

"There are some. There was half a sheep left in the kitchen yesterday, and today I purchased three more."

In the capital, when winter comes, mutton sells very well in restaurants. Hu Qing is afraid that there will not be enough, so he always asks people to buy an extra one when purchasing.

Jiang Shuyue turned to Nangong Zeyue and said: "Shopkeeper Hu can't handle it alone. Go to the kitchen and give instructions. If the rabbit meat is used up, use mutton instead. Just use half a sheep."

"Is this okay?" Nangong Zeyue expressed doubts. There is still a difference between rabbit meat and mutton.

Jiang Shuyue said firmly: "No problem, just explain to everyone that they are mutton skewers. If someone doesn't like mutton, they won't buy it."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After Nangong Zeyue left, Hu Qing asked: "Miss, will the price of kebabs be changed?"

"No need to change, roasted meat dishes are all the same price."

"In addition to roasting meat dishes, what does the lady mean by roasting vegetarian dishes?" Hu Qing finally remembered that it was possible.

"That's right. Someone sells roasted sweet potatoes. You should be able to bake potatoes too."

"Yes, you can bake potato slices, which is much faster than roasting whole potatoes, but I don't recommend it."

Jiang Shuyue's goal is to open up the market and let the world know that there is another way to eat food.

Hu Qing's words also reminded her of another long-lost recipe - fried skewers.

Seeing everyone lining up to buy, Jiang Shuyue had another plan in mind.

Hu Qing looked at the crowd outside the restaurant. After being a shopkeeper for many years, he knew in his heart that he was making a lot of money today.

He asked: "Miss, why are you only selling half a sheep? The restaurant doesn't use much at noon. You can just let someone buy it later."

"No, just let everyone have a taste of it. The kitchen cuts the meat, makes it into skewers, and then grills it here using half of the staff in the restaurant. You can't lose the big for the small."

As soon as Jiang Shuyue finished speaking, she saw a lady in brocade clothes walking around the crowd and walking towards her.

"Mrs. Wu!"

Hu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Madam, please come inside. New products will be launched today. There are many people outside, so don't let anyone rush into you, madam."

"No problem, I was passing by this place and saw that it was very busy, so I came in specifically to see what kind of food they were selling."

Mrs. Wu waved her hand and walked towards Jiang Shuyue with a smile on her face.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see. Your business is getting bigger and bigger."

"Madam, you're too generous. It's just a fool's errand."

Jiang Shuyue greeted him with a smile.

At this time, Qiu Ju happened to come out. Jiang Shuyue said to Qiu Ju, "Send some kebabs to the hall in a while. I'll go in with Mrs. Wu and sit down."

Qiu Ju bowed to Madam Wu and said, "Madam, please come inside. Your servant will be here soon."

When Madam Wu's maid saw this scene, she admired her madam with admiration.

If it weren't for Madam's intelligence, she would still have to stand in the crowd and wait stupidly.

Mrs. Wu looked at Jiang Shuyue with a smile, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. The smell of these kebabs makes people want to eat them. I wonder where Miss Jiang learned how to eat them?"

"Madam will taste it later and then praise it. It's possible that it doesn't suit your taste."

As Jiang Shuyue said this, she and Mrs. Wu walked towards the hall.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Hu Qing served the tea himself.

"My wife has been living in the capital for a long time, but she doesn't know. In the past, soldiers on the frontier often hunted pheasants or rabbits and roasted them over the fire when they were short of food. My daughter was just inspired by them and added seasonings after roasting."

Mrs. Wu held the warm teacup in both hands and looked at Jiang Shuyue with admiration.

"So that's it, Miss Jiang, you know so much."

Jiang Shuyue smiled lightly: "Thank you, madam. Yueniang has never been to the frontier. She just reads a lot of travel journals and knows a little bit about it."

After a while, Qiu Ju came in with ten skewers of barbecue, "Madam, try it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Mrs. Wu unceremoniously picked up a string and started to stroke it like others.

Seeing how elegant Madam Wu was when she rolled out a skewer, Qiu Ju brought a hot towel to wipe her hands in the restaurant before dinner and handed it to her, "Madam, the joy of playing skewers is boldness. As delicate as Madam, you can't feel the skewers. fun.”

Jiang Shuyue said to Mrs. Wu's maid, "You also have a taste."

"It's really delicious. Everyone eats it together." Mrs. Wu was full of praise after eating.

Mrs. Wu, who came from a noble family, was elegant in her every move. After eating a few skewers, she gave the rest to her personal maid.

Jiang Shuyue felt that Mrs. Wu was straightforward, elegant and unpretentious. Before leaving, she told her the recipe for making skewers.

In less than half an hour, the prepared mutton was sold out.

The grand scene in front of the Juxian Pavilion soon spread throughout the capital, and naturally also spread to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is really a wonderful person. The fragrance of the skewers can be smelled across the street. You said that such delicious food, who can refuse it."

In the imperial study, Xiangyang was very excited and swallowed his saliva from time to time.

"Have you tasted it?"

Hearing Xiangyang's boasting, he was a little curious.

Xiao Jingzhao originally had no interest in food, but for some reason, he was looking forward to the dishes launched by Jiang Shuyue.

"Xiang Yang shook his head. No, when I heard the news and rushed over, the waiter of the restaurant was already packing up."

"You came here today to tell me this?" Xiao Jingzhao raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly and threw a cold look at him.

Xiang Yang straightened his back with a start and quickly put away his weird expression.

"Master, the people who went to Black Dragon Pond have returned by carrier pigeon."

Xiao Jingzhao's phoenix eyes lit up, "Did you get any useful information?"

Xiang Yang had a mixed expression, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's not true to say that this information is useless. It's not true to say that this information is useful. How can we know where to start?"

"Don't be like a woman, speak human language!"
