Sister Han is good at farming
Chapter 86 Laughing to Death
After Ruan Qingqing made roast duck, he quickly bought a shop with a backyard in Qingshui County, and then hired someone to build a roasting oven and prepare a drying room.
After all preparations were completed, the restaurant was opened with a simple and straightforward name: Ruan's Roast Duck Restaurant.
Ruan Wantie took advantage of his status as a minor official and his relationship with the new county magistrate to invite all the officials and wealthy people in Qingshui County. Because of Deng Wei, Zhao Siming knew that Ruan Qingqing's family was also his lifesaver.
So the store was packed on the opening day, and others who wanted to try it had to queue outside.
The delicious taste and overwhelming aroma of roast duck make everyone who has eaten it unforgettable. Especially the owners and employees of other shops on the same street as "Ruan's Roast Duck Restaurant", who are immersed in the overwhelming aroma of roast duck every day. If they don't eat some roast duck every day, they will feel that their life is missing something.
Since then, other officials and wealthy people would buy some from time to time as a snack.
The roast duck restaurant was very popular. There was a shortage of staff, so Ruan Qingqing immediately hired ten servants, five men and five women. The men were responsible for killing and roasting the ducks, while the women were responsible for removing the feathers, blanching the ducks, and making crispy skin.
Even so, Ruan Qingqing still felt that the efficiency was a bit slow. After checking around, they found that the most important factor limiting their business was that the drying room was too small. Each duck was dried for a long time, resulting in a large number of raw ducks being stored in the drying room, which slowed down the speed of drying the ducks.
Finally, Ruan Qingqing used the money earned from selling roast duck to demolish the old house on the other side of their family and rebuild a new courtyard with a wall. Just after the new courtyard was completed, a group of brightly dressed young people from Qingshui County came.
When the trend of eating roast duck was set off in Qingshui County, the weather gradually turned colder. However, the roast duck business became more and more popular, and many wealthy merchants from other counties and even other states came to visit.
But that group of young people was different. They not only ate roast duck but also walked around and took a look. They even went to Ruan Qingqing's house in Zaozilin to reserve many red banquets.
"My old man praised Qingshui County to the skies, but I think it's just like that. Apart from the Ruanshi roast duck, there's nothing special about it!"
"That's right! I heard that the emperor even specifically told the ministers who attended his birthday party that day to let the younger generation learn the spirit of perseverance and self-improvement from Qingshui County."
"Of course not? Otherwise, why are we here?"
"My old man even threatened that you will not be allowed to enter the house unless you have stayed in Qingshui County for two months. We must soak up the spirit of the people of Qingshui County!"
"Then just take a good bath! Anyway, we have brought enough silver, so why worry about not having enough Ruan's roast duck?"
When Ruan Qingqing heard this, she almost died of laughter.
It turns out that the perseverance and self-improvement spirit of the people of Qingshui County is only reflected in their roast duck. To immerse in the perseverance and self-improvement spirit of Qingshui County is to eat more Ruan's roast duck. Whose logic is this?
From their fragmentary words, Ruan Qingqing could easily infer that they were from the capital, and were second-generation rich people who had no idea of the sufferings of the world.
Although the second-generation rich have a lot of money, they are strong in fighting and consume at least one roast duck a day.
Ruan Qingqing seized the opportunity and purchased all the ducks in Qingshui County. Thus the problem of raising ducks that had troubled Qingshui County for a long time was solved.
Soon, those second-generation rich people discovered that not only the Ruan’s Roast Duck in the Qingshui County Restaurant tasted good, but also the dishes such as duck blood noodles, stir-fried duck gizzards, and sauerkraut duck intestines were delicious.
"Help! I don't have enough money!"
Someone weighed his belly and said, "I have gained a little weight. I think I have gained enough from the Qingshui County spirit!"
"In fact, if it weren't for the inconvenience of using water here, I would really like to bask in the spirit of Qingshui County! The Ruan's roast duck has crispy skin, tender meat, and the fried bones are so fragrant that you can't wait to swallow them together with your tongue. I eat here every day and never get tired of it!"
"Isn't it? We will definitely miss this Ruan's Roast Duck when we go back now!"
The conversation in her ear continued, but Ruan Qingqing stopped listening.
"How about it? If you sell the recipe of Ruan's Roast Duck to me, I will definitely not let you lose money. It will also help to further promote the reputation of your Ruan's Roast Duck!"
Wen Chunwen, who was sitting opposite her, smiled at her gently.
Ruan Qingqing didn't respond to his question, "I thought Boss Wen came here specifically for the red seats. Didn't the red seats you took away earlier make you less money?"
Wen Chunwen's mouth curved up, "Thanks to you, I made a fortune in the capital. I never thought that you would think of expanding the sales of red banquets by sending birthday gifts to the emperor. This really opened my eyes!"
"Eye-opening things require the right time, place and people to be accomplished!" Ruan Qingqing smiled politely.
"Why don't you tell me how this eye-opening thing happened?" Wen Chunwen asked persistently.
"The most important thing is that the red mat itself is of good quality and has its unique advantages. Secondly, the red mat can be woven into complex patterns, so that its grade can be improved. Then, sorghum is a drought-resistant crop and can survive in dry weather. We have this material to make it. Finally, those in power always like to hear compliments and gratitude.
We give the red mats to the emperor as a birthday gift in the name of gratitude, and the emperor will be happy, and the value of the red mats will immediately rise. As long as we get the emperor's praise, we will have no worries about selling these red mats. "
Ruan Qingqing laughed as she spoke. "I didn't expect the emperor to be so supportive and let everyone learn from Qingshui County's spirit of perseverance and self-improvement. What's even more supportive is that the elders in the court directly sent their own children to Qingshui County to observe and learn."
Wen Chunwen also laughed softly, "This is the first time I have seen such a young man from a noble family. It really makes me dumbfounded!"
"Don't they go to school? How do you describe things being upside down?" Ruan Qingqing asked Wen Chunwen curiously.
"I guess it's because they are spoiled too much by their family! As soon as they complain about being tired, their family members feel so distressed. How can they bear to let them suffer?" Wen Chunwen said disdainfully.
"That being said, they really helped me a lot!"
Wen Chunwen glanced at her and said, "I'm almost helping you clear out the inventory of ducks you raised on behalf of others! If you had given me the roast duck recipe, I could have helped you use up all the tens of thousands of ducks in Qingshui County!"
Ruan Qingqing shrugged helplessly, "I only figured out this recipe after you left. But whether I should sell the recipe to you or cooperate with you, I need to think carefully about it."
Wen Chunwen raised his glass to her, "Waiting for your good news!"
