Chapter 995: Cheer Up

st and he started to twitch with nausea."You're scared to try it""Little Bean is ten years younger than you, and he dares to eat it. You wouldn't even be as good as Little Bean, would you"Upon hearing...Actually, Fang Jinxiu didn't know how she got to the wine shop. She was somewhat dazed along the way.

Tana's people are quite efficient. As soon as she arrived at the tavern, the staff all knew who she was and addressed her as "Madame."

Wu Niang stood at the front, as if waiting for her.

"Mrs. Fang has arrived."

As soon as she saw her, she greeted her enthusiastically. Fang Jinshu returned a faint smile.

"How is your young master doing"

Wu Niang nodded.

"Madam Fang's medicine is very effective, I have never seen such miraculous medicine before. The young master woke up this morning with a much better complexion and his wounds are greatly improved compared to yesterday."

Wu Niang's answer wasn't far from Fang Jinxiu's thoughts. The medicine she prepared contained ingredients of Lingquan water, and she naturally knew what effects it would have after consumption.

It seems like these people from the Northern Border are only so enthusiastic towards her because of the medicine

Fang Jinshui nodded and walked in. Wu Niang introduced her to the situation of the restaurant. Because it had just opened, there wasn't much revenue yet, and most of the accounts were expenses.

Fang Jinshu's mind would wander from time to time. She tried her best to focus and follow Wu Niang as she toured the entire wine shop, including the back kitchen, before offering her suggestions.

"Your young master's idea for opening a restaurant is very clear. In fact, you don't need me to embellish it. You just need to keep operating in the original way."

Most people from the Central Plains still prefer light and plain dishes. Adding a few more vegetarian options to the menu, along with some palate-cleansing fruit drinks would be sufficient.

Vegetarian dishes Fruit juice

When Wu Niang heard these two words, she became furious. She didn't even know what the latter one meant.

"Madam Fang, it's not that we don't want to add more vegetarian dishes, but we simply can't cook them."

"Of these two vegetarian dishes on the menu, they are also the only ones that the chef managed to make edible after multiple attempts."

Princess had thought of this a long time ago, but alas, the chef they brought was also from the Northern Border and only skilled at preparing meat dishes. He had no idea how to cook vegetarian food. If people from Central Plains could accept roasted vegetables, they could try making two dishes at least.

"As for this fruit drink," Wu Niang's face was filled with difficulty, "can't we use our Northern Border's unique milk tea instead"

Fan Jinshi smiled, "Some guests' habits are irreplaceable."

"I know what you're worried about. I have a few recipes here for vegetarian and fruit drinks that your northern Xinjiang chefs can learn to make easily, and they will taste just as good."

With a shocked expression, Wu Niang looked at her, her eyes flickering with a hint of confusion.

Don't they all say that people from the Central Plains value cooking methods more than life itself Fang Jinshu actually wants to give them so many recipes so easily

Vegetarian food is alright, but that fruit drink sounds like something complicated. The revenue of this restaurant she only takes up a very small part.

Seeing Wu Niang's silence and her suspicious expression, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but smile.

"These recipes might be of some value to you, but they're not that important to me."

"Besides, now I am the owner of this restaurant. What benefit would a failing business bring me"

After finishing her words, she patted Wu Niang's shoulder and signaled her to keep her heart in check.

Then she asked someone to bring paper and pen, and immediately wrote down several recipes for simple dishes and drinks, handing them over to Wu Niang.

Wu Niang's cooking skills were average, and she rarely had the opportunity to cook since she spent her days serving the princess. While she could read the characters in the recipe, she couldn't possibly tell how it would taste just by looking at the written instructions.

"Go to my carriage and bring down the dishes from on top."

"Madam Wu was a little surprised, “There are dishes prepared in the kitchen. The young master ordered that for anything related to the restaurant, you have the final say. If you need anything, just tell us and we will do it immediately.”

Fāng Jǐnxiù shook her head.

"That's not what I mean, you have to taste the dishes I brought before you can say anything."

The vegetables grown at Jinxiu Garden tasted completely different from those outside. She was very much looking forward to the reaction of people from Beijang after they finished eating them.

Family matters are family matters. From the moment she decided to take over Tana's Tavern, she had already started making plans to run it well.

Selling vegetables from home to others is also selling, isn't it Isn't bringing them to the restaurant also a way for me to make money Moreover, the restaurant will pay Jinshiu Mountain Villa silver at the market procurement price. Why not do something that benefits both parties

Before she went to sleep last night, she had Xiaoyue prepare this basket of fruits and vegetables for her. It contained several kinds of fresh vegetables newly grown in the village, as well as four or five kinds of fruits like apples, hawthorn, and pears.

The North Xinjiang region has a limited variety of fruits because of its climate, which makes it unsuitable for growing some fruit types that require specific environmental conditions.

Therefore, at first glance, seeing so many fruits, some of them, like hawthorn, they had never even seen before.

"Wu shopkeeper, what is this little red fruit Can you eat it"

Most people in northern Xinjiang know fruits like apples and pears, but hawthorn is a rare thing to them. Even many people in Daxia have never seen hawthorn.

Wu Niang wasn't sure if the red fruit before her was the kind she had seen before. She didn't dare speak casually, afraid of saying the wrong thing and making a fool of herself.

Fan Jinshu didn't intend to let people guess, and directly introduced them.

“This is called hawthorn, our restaurant specializes in mutton and beef dishes. Even the most delicious meat can get boring after eating too much, so that's when you need a drink that can both refresh your palate and whet your appetite.”

Later, you will use the recipe I wrote and these fruits to make fruit drinks. The taste of hawthorn sour plum soup is sour and sweet, you will surely like it.

As soon as Wu Niang heard, she nodded. Just hearing Fang Jinxiu say this made her mouth water. It seemed that women were particularly fond of drinks.

Actually, in their hometown, women consume far less meat than men, and they do indeed prefer eating fruits and drinking milk tea.

Both the cooks and the waiters at the restaurant were somewhat skeptical. Could this new master really have such a good recipe

They all stood eagerly outside the kitchen, waiting. Fang Jinshi was inside giving instructions from time to time but never actually got her hands dirty throughout the whole process.

Vegetarian dishes are easy to make, and in no time the chef had fried several vegetarian dishes and brought them to the table outside. Fang Jinshu took a pair of chopsticks.

"Have a taste."

Several vegetarian dishes were particularly simple, such as stir-fried Chinese broccoli, cold three silks, cucumber scrambled eggs, eggplant with garlic, and so on. People from northern Xinjiang are accustomed to eating meat, and when they see light vegetarian food, they subconsciously feel that it is tasteless.

But the few vegetarian dishes on the table, as soon as they were served, had a fragrant aroma that made their mouths water and they couldn't help but want to taste them.

At Fang Jinxiu's gesture, Wu Niang was the first to pick up her chopsticks and take a bite of the cold vermicelli closest to her.

I thought this dish, which seemed so flavorless, would be bitter and unpleasant. Unexpectedly, my taste buds were bombarded with a crazy mix of sour and sweet flavors.

Fan Jinshu specially added peanut crumbs and sesame oil to the cold dish recipe. Even if the cold dish was not stir-fried with hot oil, it tasted fragrant and refreshing, very appetizing.as their own fate, and under natural disasters, you have to rely on your skills and luck to survive."If Heaven wishes for you to live, you shall live.
