Chapter 317 This old boy knows how to scheme!

"You're welcome, Miss Qiao, this is what we should do. You are our master's savior, and naturally you are also our savior. This little food is nothing."

"Yes, this is a little New Year's gift on behalf of our boss. Miss Qiao doesn't need to take it to heart. In addition, Juxianlou hopes to cooperate more with Miss Qiao in the future!"

When Butler Zhou heard Shopkeeper Chen talk about cooperation, an idea flashed in his mind:

"Old Chen, are you saying that the spicy dishes launched by Juxian Restaurant during this period are the result of cooperation with Qiao Yatou?"

After hearing the news, he also went to Juxian Restaurant to taste those spicy dishes. After trying them, he felt that his mouth, which had been indifferent for decades, truly experienced what "gourmet food" was.

But after he asked several times, Mr. Chen was unwilling to tell where these dishes came from. Today, he was really showing off his flaws!

Shopkeeper Chen saw that he had guessed it and didn't hide it from him:

"That's right! Our Juxian restaurant's new dishes such as spicy pickled fish, Mapo tofu, spicy chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork and spicy cucumbers have become popular all over the capital these days, all because of the delicious food provided by Miss Qiao. Planting a fruit called 'pepper' is also a recipe provided by Miss Qiao."

"Hehehe, I actually came here this time to ask for one or two new recipes from Miss Qiao, so that I can strike while the iron is hot, attract more people to order New Year's Eve dinner in our restaurant, and make spicy dishes the new signature dish of Juxian Restaurant , making people all over the capital want to queue up to eat, hehe!"

Shopkeeper Chen said, took out two banknotes from his sleeves and handed them to Qiao Ran:

"Miss Qiao, these two hundred taels are your dividends during this period. Because of the spicy dishes you provided, our restaurant is now full of seats, and people line up at the door every day waiting to eat. Our spicy dishes. I feel that the money for the recipes and chili peppers given to you is too little, so I will take it upon myself to give you some dividends. I hope Miss Qiao will accept it, and then we can cooperate more in the future and make money together."

Shopkeeper Chen's words made Butler Zhou roll his eyes several times.

This old boy knows how to scheme!

As expected of someone who has been a shopkeeper for many years, this abacus is very good!

Qiao Yatou may not know how popular this spicy dish is in the capital because she has not been in the city during this period. He, an old butler who often goes out on errands, knows it all too well!

Every time I pass by the street of Juxianlou, I can see a long queue that fills the whole street.

Those wealthy families would send their maids and servants to line up and reserve seats every day in order to try the hot and appetizing new dishes!

Nowadays in Beijing, the first greeting that people exchange every day when they meet is not "Have you eaten?"

But "Have you eaten the spicy dishes from Juxianlou?"

Whether you have eaten the spicy dishes of Juxian Restaurant and whether you can book a seat at Juxian Restaurant has become a bargaining chip for comparison among different governments.

Even he, the old butler in the master's house, had to go directly through the back door of the restaurant owner, Old Chentou, so that he could squeeze out half an hour of dining time and eat happily with the dozen or so old servants in the house. Had a meal.

Even if he is just a butler and not a restaurant owner, he can imagine how much profit this popularity can bring to Juxian Restaurant.

Old Chen Tou has taken advantage of the situation and wants to win over Qiao Yatou and ask her to provide more chili peppers and recipes so that he can become the dominant one and beat other restaurants in the capital and make more money!

What Butler Zhou can think of, Qiao Ran can also think of.

She knew early on how popular this chili dish would be after it came out.

However, there are not many peppers in her space. Before the newly planted batch of peppers mature in the space, she does not want to give all her peppers to Juxianlou.

It was all used up at once, and there was no more chili left in the middle. I'm afraid shopkeeper Chen would be even more sad.

So, she just smiled and said: "I do have a recipe here that can be eaten by people who can and cannot eat spicy food at the same time. It is simple and convenient. After preparing the ingredients, the guests can choose their favorites. Food to eat.”

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"What recipe? Write it down quickly and I'll buy your recipe for two hundred taels!"

Shopkeeper Chen was about to take out the banknote excitedly, but Qiao Ran said: "No rush. This is not so much a recipe as a new cooking method. I asked around and found that there shouldn't be one here in the capital yet. , Shopkeeper Chen can give it a try."

"Okay! Okay! Then..."

"Don't worry. To make this dish, you need to build a batch of stoves and boil a batch of butter. It will be more delicious when paired with chili peppers."

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned: "Huh? But the Chinese New Year is in two or three days. How...how can it be too late?"

Qiao Ran shrugged: "I just remembered this dish. Whether I can make it or not is up to you, the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Chen really regrets it. If he had known that he should have come to send money and food to Miss Qiao a few days in advance, so that she could come up with this recipe a few days earlier, then he could make preparations earlier, and he would definitely make money in a few days during the New Year. The bowl was full, so that the master was surprised when he came back, and he looked at himself with admiration.

He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Tell me what to do? No matter what, I have to make this new dish before the Chinese New Year!" "

Qiao Ran looked at him with a smile.

An idea flashed in Shopkeeper Chen's mind, and he quickly took out two more banknotes from his sleeves. After thinking about it, he took out three more.

"Miss Qiao, this is the reward for the recipe, but it is not a one-time payment. From now on, I will pay you dividends according to the profit every month. All I can promise is that it will be no less than one hundred taels a month. When the boss comes back, I will pay him Please give me a higher dividend."

Five hundred taels for a new recipe, and a monthly dividend of no less than one hundred taels?

This temptation is not too big.

You know, when they were in Qingshui Village, the richest family in their village couldn't save twenty taels of silver a year. Now Qiao Ran has at least one hundred taels a month as a base. She just sells a recipe, so she doesn't have to work hard. Earning money is equivalent to making money while lying down. You don’t have to do anything, and your monthly income is like a small fortune.

If others encounter such a good thing, why should they be so happy?

But Qiao Ran just smiled slightly, with no surprise on her face.

"I can teach you this recipe, but I haven't bought out the ownership of this recipe to you. If we can't cooperate in the future, or I want to open a restaurant myself, the ownership will still be mine."

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned, what does this mean?

Not to mention that there are usually dividends every month, it is completely possible to buy out a recipe for dozens of taels or a hundred taels!

The conditions he gave were so generous, but Miss Qiao still refused to let them buy out the recipes. This...
