After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate
Chapter 115 Going to Eat Hot Pot
After the prince took his seat, the others followed suit.
The burnt aroma of the meat, combined with cumin and pepper salt, brings out the unique flavor of the venison, giving it a unique fragrance that arouses your appetite.
Jin Yuanyuan stared at the roast meat being flipped and almost drooled.
It was almost done roasting, so the eunuch sliced the meat and distributed it to the guests.
Jin Yuanyuan took a bite and squinted her eyes in happiness while eating.
The meat is so tender when you put it in your mouth, and it has a burnt and numb taste from the charcoal grill. It is completely different from pork and very novel. You can't stop eating it one piece after another because it is so delicious.
Seeing how happily she was eating, He Linyuan took a bite of a piece and found the taste was indeed very special, different from ordinary beef and mutton. This meat was firmer, tender and delicious.
Xiaojiu couldn't help but chat with Gu An while eating.
"Hey, have you heard about it? There's a new restaurant opened in Beijing recently. It's called something like Hotpot. It seems to be run by the Third Prince. A lot of people eat there, but the price is a little expensive."
He had eaten there before and found the food delicious and the way of eating it novel and interesting, but the price made him frown, as did the strange way of ordering.
Gu An shook his head, "I don't know. Let's go try it someday. But you think it's expensive. How expensive must it be?"
Among them, Xiaojiu has control over his own pocket money, so he has the most money. He thinks it is too expensive, and he really can't imagine how expensive it is.
"It's not that expensive, actually. It's just... I can't describe it. It's not expensive in the sense of more than 10 taels. You'll know when you go and eat it."
When Jin Yuanyuan heard the word "hot pot", she knew it was Gu Xingruo's idea even with her toes.
After all, she is a person who traveled through time, and she is the only one who can think of a way to make money by running a hot pot restaurant.
After having several arguments with Zhao Lingzhou about money, Gu Xingruo vowed to make money with her own abilities.
She has so many ways to make money in her mind, and she knows everything about astronomy and geography, and knows the ending of all their people. There is nothing she doesn't know. It's just making money. It can be done in minutes. It's not difficult at all.
She borrowed three thousand taels of silver from Zhao Lingzhou and promised to pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
She used the money to open a hot pot restaurant. Running a hot pot restaurant does not require any technical skills, as long as the soup base is prepared. It is very simple. She used to love eating hot pot the most.
After the hot pot restaurant opened, she did make a lot of money.
Seeing so much income every day, Zhao Lingzhou looked at her with admiration.
The freshness from before came back, and he hugged her and kissed her hard.
"Xing Ruo, you are really my lucky star, my military advisor. By marrying you, I must have accumulated a lot of merit in my previous life."
He looked at the account book and found that the hot pot restaurant earned nearly fifty taels of silver in just one day.
If she continued like this, she would be able to make up for her previous losses soon. Why didn't he realize before that she was so smart?
Gu Xingruo was flattered by the praise. She crossed her arms proudly and raised her chin arrogantly.
"Of course. Don't you see who I am? Everything in my mind is priceless. Don't even mention one thousand taels. Even if it's one hundred thousand taels, as long as I want to earn it, it will only take a few minutes."
With the money, she can buy whatever she wants. It's great to earn her own money. She won't have to depend on him for shopping anymore. Maybe he will even rely on her for support.
But looking at the price list on the menu, Zhao Lingzhou was a little worried.
"Aren't the prices of vegetables a bit too high? Ordinary green vegetables cost three hundred yuan. After the freshness wears off, will they be hard to sell?"
"No, it's winter now, and we need these hot foods to warm our stomachs. If we open a hot pot restaurant, we won't make a lot of money in winter. Do we have to wait until spring and summer to let customers eat hot pot?!"
"Don't worry, my soup base is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. No one else can make it except me. I will definitely have more customers coming to eat it, and they won't think it's too expensive."
The thing that Kyoto lacks the least is rich people. If she gets the chance, she will make a fortune from them.
She sells special vegetables and special meat slices, all of which are processed using special methods. They are different from the vegetables in ordinary restaurants, so they are sold at a very high price.
A plate of meat costs two taels of silver, and most vegetables cost three or four hundred coins a plate, and a plate of vegetables is not much.
Just as she said, things are valuable because they are rare. Those dignitaries who have never eaten hotpot think that this is the price they deserve.
Some people also complained that the price was unreasonable, but there was nothing they could do because the taste was really good. They had never seen this way of eating it before and just thought it was high-end and novel.
When Jin Yuanyuan finished eating the venison and was ready to go home, she felt a little curious while sitting in the carriage.
"Is the hot pot really that delicious? Is it always full?"
It’s just a hotpot, it shouldn’t be so crazy. The price is so expensive, what do diners want?
Xiaojiu nodded vigorously, "It's really delicious. It has a unique flavor when you eat it by yourself."
Gu An had a picture in mind and was a little greedy. "Why don't we go try it now? It's still early and we have to memorize our lessons when we get back, so we might as well go have a meal."
He Linyuan was very puzzled, "You are not full yet?! Didn't you eat a lot at the prince's place just now?"
He remembered that Gu An ate a bowl of rice and two big steamed buns, and he ate so much venison, but he was still able to eat more.
Gu An rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "We are all boys, we are still growing, it is a blessing to be able to eat, it is normal to eat more."
"How about it? Go ahead." He was really curious about what hot pot tasted like. Eating on fire?
Jin Yuanyuan has eaten hotpot before, so it doesn’t matter whether she eats it or not.
Xiaojiu recalled the last time he went there to eat, and the food was indeed delicious. He went there alone, and this time he went with his friends, so the atmosphere must be even better.
He Linyuan didn’t have any idea. He was just like Jin Yuanyuan and it didn’t matter whether he went or not.
Only Gu An was the most cheerful and insisted on going to eat.
The carriage changed its route and headed for the Xingzhou hotpot restaurant opened by Gu Xingruo. The restaurant was located in the most prosperous area of Kyoto, with a large flow of people, all of whom were wealthy people.
Jin Yuanyuan and a few others went in and asked for a private room. After they sat down, the waiter threw down the menu and ran away.
Gu An was a little at a loss, "Hey! Why did you leave, waiter? We haven't ordered the food yet!"
Xiaojiu explained to them skillfully, "No need to shout, it's self-service ordering, just think about what you want and go to the counter to tell them. It's a bit inconvenient. The last time I came back, I saw someone quarreling over the order of ordering."
Jin Yuanyuan looked through the menu, thinking that Gu Xingruo should be imitating the self-service ordering system of later generations.
But that was because the store had self-service ordering software and mobile phones. Now they don’t have them, and customers have to go to the counter to place their orders themselves. This will sooner or later become a mess.
And the price of vegetables was too outrageous, she kept frowning.
[Three taels of silver for rapeseed? Four taels of silver for mushrooms? Five taels of silver for cabbage? Five taels of silver for a plate of pork rolls!! She could have just robbed the money, but she gave back the vegetables and meat. How mean she is.]
