The little cook in the book has fallen asleep
Chapter 67 Private Customization
Cheng Yu has been very busy these days. She has carefully decorated her restaurant. The stairs on the left have been completed and the plaque has been hung. All the preparations have been made and the staff are ready. She is just waiting for the right day to open.
Old Mrs. Cheng has been very busy recently. Cheng Yu taught her several ways to make buns, and she is currently leading the two old ladies to repeatedly season them.
Li Huaxiang and Zhao Yunniang were preparing the base for the spicy hot pot, and the braised food was also prepared.
Shen Lan (Liu Feng's wife) was also helping in the kitchen, and at the same time looking at the light meal recipes given to her by Cheng Yu. She was good at stewing soup, so the fourth floor would be hers to manage from now on.
There are too few female doctors in this era, otherwise Cheng Yu would also like to have one sitting on the fourth floor to prescribe the right medicine for the obesity of those noble ladies and have them eat some medicated food to improve their physical fitness, so that the effect will be seen faster!
Lin Pan'er brought a few embroiderers who knew how to embroider to learn how to make buttons under the pavilion, and then practiced needlework and made a few sets of samples.
Everyone is busy preparing for Cheng's private customization, only...
Cheng Xiaoba and his kids are causing trouble!
Yuwen Jue has been here for about a week and his internal injuries have almost healed.
At this moment, he was watching Cheng Xiaoba, Liu Cheng, Cheng Yu and Liu Hui digging a hole in the backyard with boredom.
"Myna, why did you ask Brother Cheng to dig a hole?" Cheng Yu asked in confusion.
Cheng Xiaoba is about four years old this year, which is the age when he has the most ideas.
"Bury him!" Cheng Xiaoba pointed at Yuwen Jue who was sitting not far away.
"What? Say it again!" Cheng Yu thought she had heard it wrong and asked again immediately.
"Bury him!" Cheng Xiaoba continued to point at Yuwen Jue and said it again!
"Ah? Cheng Xiaoba! Is there something wrong with your head?" Yuwen Jue prides himself on being a steady person, but after coming here, Cheng Xiaoba often makes him so angry that he flies into a rage at any time.
Doctor Bai was originally worried that his young master might get sick from being angry. After all, his body had not yet fully recovered!
As a result, the more Cheng Xiaoba got angrier, the better his health became, and even his complexion became a lot rosier. So now he would rather Cheng Xiaoba make the young master more angry, because then the young master's health would definitely get better faster!
Yuwen Jue: Thank you!
"No, you are too weak! I see that yam is growing vigorously in the soil. If I plant you in there, you might get better!" Cheng Xiaoba felt a little aggrieved. He was doing this for Yuwen Jue's own good, so why did everyone look at him like this?
"Eighth Young Master, is there a possibility that Young Master Yuwen is a human being, and the yam you mentioned is a vegetable that should be planted in the ground?" Liu Hui, as the oldest of the five, immediately comforted Cheng Xiaoba.
"Sister Hui, is it possible that my starling has planted itself in the ground?" Is it possible that he also thinks that he and the yam are the same species? Did Cheng Yu not say the last sentence?
"Then continue digging?" Liu Cheng looked at everyone with a dull expression.
"Dig!" Cheng Xiaoba's voice.
"What are you digging for? If you keep digging, I'll throw your young master in there!" Yu Wen Jue said gritting his teeth.
Yuwen Jue, Liu Cheng and Cheng Xiaoba are of similar age, so they have been eating and living with Cheng Xiaoba for the past few days.
"Ah! That won't do. We can't let the Eighth Young Master go in!" Liu Chengli immediately threw away the shovel and put his hands behind his back.
Oh! Okay, okay, you can throw Yuwen Jue in, but you can’t throw Cheng Xiaoba in, right?
Then the three boys started fighting together, with loud bangs, and the backyard was covered in dust!
"Stop it! If one of my peppers falls, I will kill you!" Cheng Yu was small but had a loud voice. Seeing her peppers about to suffer this unexpected disaster, she immediately yelled.
"There's a fight! There's a fight!"
"There's a fight! There's a fight!"
Xiao Ou kept circling the yard, flying and shouting. Seeing that the Cheng family didn't respond, he immediately changed the subject.
"Xiaojiu is angry!"
"Xiaojiu is angry!"
Then more than ten people ran out of the Cheng family. What? A fight? No big deal! What? Nannan is angry! That's terrible!
Then I walked to the backyard and saw Cheng Yu with his hands on his hips, scolding the three boys. Liu Hui was standing beside him, not knowing whether to laugh or not.
There are some peppers next to it that were accidentally broken!
"Next time you break my peppers, I will make you sit here and eat them all before you leave!" Cheng Yu picked up the peppers with a distressed look.
When Cheng Xiaoba saw his grandmother coming, he wanted to ask for help, but the old lady pretended not to see him and turned around and went back!
The Cheng family’s motto is that as long as Cheng Yu doesn’t suffer any loss!
Cheng Xiaoba was a sharp-tongued person, and he felt even more aggrieved in his heart. However, when he looked at his fellow sufferers (Yuwen Jue) and Liu Cheng (Liu Cheng) beside him, he suddenly felt balanced!
"Grandpa, you made a good bowl! This bamboo tube is also good. You have such a skillful hand!" Grandpa Cheng took this batch of bamboo bowls to the first floor for use.
The main dishes on the first floor are porridge and various trendy snacks. Now Mrs. Cheng is busy packing up, while Mr. Cheng is making porridge at the porridge pot.
A bowl of porridge costs six cents to eat in the store, and seven cents to take away with a bamboo bowl included.
"Hey, aunt, why are you here?" Cheng Yu saw Mrs. Wei and a group of noble ladies entering her restaurant, and she immediately went to greet them.
"Come and try your breakfast. I heard from my brother that the food you cook is delicious! So I brought my sisters here to support you!" Mrs. Wei said with a smile. Her brother adopted this adopted daughter, who had red lips and white teeth and was very pretty.
"Thank you, auntie. Can you guys take a look at what you want to eat?" Cheng Yu said with a smile as he walked forward and took Mrs. Wei's hand.
Cheng Yu was wearing a chest-length green skirt today. Her skirt was very long, extending all the way to her shoes. Her top was a simple red wide-sleeved one, which formed a sharp contrast with the green skirt, showing a unique color combination.
An exquisite belt is tied around the waist with two small white tassels hanging on it, adding a touch of playfulness and agility to the overall look.
She wore a red headband on her head with two identical pearl flowers on both sides, making her look particularly cute and charming.
Liu Hui wore a light blue dress with narrow sleeves. Although the fabric was relatively ordinary, she cleverly used the belt around the waist to enhance the overall look.
This ribbon has a pink base, which contrasts with the light blue clothing, creating a fresh and soft visual effect.
The unique design of her collar is different from ordinary clothes, making her look more fashionable and chic.
If everyone looked carefully, they could find that the servants of the Cheng family were all wearing uniform clothes.
The male servants wore brown trousers, which showed their steadiness and competence; the female servants wore similar styles to Liu Hui, but the colors of their lapels were different, showing their personalized styles.
This uniform clothing design not only embodies order and norms, but also makes the servants look uniform.
So, the old ladies in the kitchen on the first floor are wearing dark red clothes, but what about the attire of the embroiderers on the fourth and fifth floors?
Li Huaxiang and Zhao Yunniang were also helping downstairs. Today they made tofu pudding, and the two of them were selling tofu pudding and cold noodles in front of a stall!
The second and third floors were not occupied until noon, so they planned to stay on the first floor from Chenshi to Sishi. Old Mrs. Cheng was only responsible for selling buns, and after selling the buns, she would take an old woman upstairs to prepare the dishes.
Li Huaxiang and Zhao Yunniang wore simple narrow-sleeved Ming-style tops, dark green lining and a green double-breasted coat on the outside, black horse-faced skirts, and white sashes, making them look very energetic.
"Mrs. Wei, hurry up, let's go to the fourth and fifth floors after we finish eating!" urged a noble lady, who was becoming more and more curious about the Cheng family's private customization.
"Yes, yes, Madam Wei, let's go and take a look. Looking at the clothes worn by Madam Cheng and the others, my heart is so moved!" A noble lady also responded.
Mrs. Wei smiled and nodded, speeding up her eating.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered in front of the Cheng Family Restaurant.
"Welcome everyone to our Cheng's private customization. Today we are opening, and we are holding a grand opening promotion. If you spend more than 20 coins, you will get a bowl of new tofu pudding!" Cheng Yu shouted at the door of Cheng's restaurant with a smile:
"For those who spend one or two taels of silver at the opening ceremony, we will give them a regular membership badge and a bowl of oatmeal porridge! For those who spend ten or more taels of silver at the opening ceremony, we will give them a gold membership and a bowl of health-preserving soup!"
"Wow! What a good deal!" exclaimed the crowd.
"Big opening promotion! Big opening promotion!" Cheng Xiaoba started shouting after seeing Tian Youwei take out the signboard. His voice was clear and loud, attracting more people's attention.
Tian Youwei came to Cheng's house the day before Cheng Yiyu and his friends went to Beijing. As soon as he entered the door, he kowtowed three times without saying a word.
His grandmother's condition was under control after taking Cheng Yu's cough pills, so he came to Cheng's house to express his willingness to be the manager of Cheng Yu's restaurant.
Now, Tian Youwei is also soliciting customers at the door, singing the same tune with Cheng Xiaoba, making it very lively.
Cheng Yu originally only wanted to sign a ten-year contract, but Tian Youwei wanted to sign a slave contract. Finally, at Cheng Yu's insistence, he signed a thirty-year contract.
10 taels of silver per month plus 5% of the store's profits. If the restaurant grows bigger and bigger, 5 taels will be added for each upgrade. However, if Tian Youwei betrays the Cheng family, he will have to compensate the Cheng family ten times their losses.
Madam Wei and several other noble ladies came up to the fourth floor from the stairs on the left. After getting the registration card from the maid at the door, they went up to the fifth floor. As soon as they entered the fifth floor, they were attracted by the colorful fabrics.
Thinking that there were not enough people, Cheng Yu bought four maids around thirteen years old. One was responsible for guarding the door of the fourth floor, two helped Shen Lan prepare medicinal food, and one bought tea on the fifth floor. The four of them took turns.
"Welcome to our Chengjia Private Custom Clothing Store. Here, you can see all kinds of clothing and accessories, which can be used in your clothes. Please choose now.
If you are particularly fond of fabrics and clothes, you can ask our guys to go to the second floor to pay for you.
After getting the receipt, come to my place to measure your size. Our fabrics and accessories are clearly priced.
No matter your height or size, we can meet your needs!
Today, for every purchase of 10 taels or more, we will give you a beautiful head flower." Lin Paner introduced loudly and enthusiastically.
These head flowers are carefully made by her and the embroiderers, and each one is unique.
At first, Lin Pan'er was a little timid, but when she saw that everyone loved the clothes she designed, her inner nervousness disappeared instantly.
In addition, there were several pattern books on the table. These were all copied stroke by stroke by Lin Pan'er based on the calligraphy and paintings given to her by Cheng Yu. She also cleverly modified some unreasonable parts of the original book.
"Wow, this custom-made product is so beautiful. I love it so much!" A noble lady smiled happily and pulled Mrs. Wei to praise it.
Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. Please support my niece's shop in the future!" She was also very happy because the praise from this noble lady meant that the store she recommended was recognized.
At this time, it was lunch time, and Mrs. Wei said to Madam Gui cheerfully, "Let's go and try the delicious food on the second floor!" So, the group of people happily went downstairs again.
“Aunt, this is your membership card. From now on, no matter which Cheng family store you go to for private customization, you can enjoy a 12% discount.
In addition, your consumption today has exceeded ten taels, so I will give each of you a portion of Qi-boosting soup!" Cheng Yu's voice came, and she gave each of Madam Wei and the others a wooden plaque with a big word "Cheng" written on it in gold paint!
Then several waiters came into the private room one after another. Each of them carried a clay pot, put down the pot quietly and left.
These waiters were hired by Tian Youwei later. They were all people who had been bullied in the Treasure Pavilion before and had to leave. They are honest and hardworking!
Now, Cheng Yu gave them three taels of silver each per month and 1% of the store's profits as a bonus.
Therefore, the guys greet every customer with a smile, making every customer feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.
Gradually, word spread that there was a restaurant in Bai Ze County with good food and good service. Their clothes were novel and could be tailor-made! This reputation spread throughout the entire Western Province!
