Overall, the first day of opening was quite good. At least the reputation was spread.

Mo's mother said worriedly: "Our kitchen has no secrets at all. People outside can see it. What if someone learns our kitchen secrets?"

Anyone can cook this dish, Mom. But whether it tastes good or not is hard to say. The secret to our dish lies primarily in the seasoning.

Our spices are all ground into a fine powder. No one would be able to tell the difference if they looked at it.

Dried mushrooms are ground directly into powder. I put a little bit of it in the stir-fry to enhance the flavor.

Star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, fennel, cinnamon, and ginger were all ground into powder. No one would know what was in it.

If it's a doctor, it's hard to say. If it's really imitated by someone else, that's his ability.

These things here are all classified as medicinal materials.

This was bought by Mo Rao at the pharmacy.

Chili peppers are available in this era, so there is no shortage of them.

Braised meat and vegetables. The chefs would get up before dawn to cook. So no one could learn our secret recipe.

Hearing her daughter say this, Mo's mother felt a little relieved.

There is a basement below the restaurant's accounting office. Originally, by moving the bookcase, you could see the warehouse below.

This place was originally used to store gold, silver, and valuables. Most large restaurants have their own warehouses, and Xiangyun Restaurant, as a time-honored brand, naturally has one as well.

Later, this basement was directly modified by Mo Rao, and the bookcase was directly thrown away and replaced with wall coverings.

All you see now is a smooth wall.

No one would have thought that there was an invisible door under this smooth wall.

Just push the wall hard in the right position and the door will open.

The warehouse here is not only used to store silver and money, but also serves as his own laboratory.

So not only do you have to go through the invisible door to get in, you also have to correspond to the corresponding number when you walk in. There are numbers from one to ten on it, and only when you press the corresponding number will the door open.

The only people who knew the password were the Mo family and Eleven, the shopkeeper. After all, all future inflows and outflows would have to go through the shopkeeper.

Entering the warehouse, the password to the small room inside the warehouse was known only to Mo Rao. This was Mo Rao's laboratory. A pipe led from the laboratory to the outside.

Both ends of the tube are designed to be trumpet-shaped.

As long as someone outside shouts into the loudspeaker, Mo Rao in the lab will hear it. This way, if there is any emergency, she can go out immediately.

The area of ​​the warehouse below has also been expanded several times.

Walking down the stairs, it was pitch black and I couldn't see what was inside at all.

Mo Rao lit a candle and was able to see clearly.

Mo Rao wanted to get the generator out as soon as possible, as having electricity would make everything easier.

Mr. and Mrs. Mo put the silver and money in the money box into a large wooden box on the shelf in the warehouse.

Eleven also handled the following matters in an orderly manner.

Since there were not enough people, Eleven bought five assistants directly from the pawnshop.

What you buy will not betray your owner, so you can use it with confidence.

Mo Rao thought this was true, so she followed Eleven's lead. Hiring someone would only cost a dozen or so taels of silver per person.

Eleven, Twelve, and the other fifteen assassins had no status in the county government. If Eleven was the shopkeeper, he would have to have a public status.

He just took advantage of this opportunity to buy people from the brokerage business and registered himself and other secret assassins as slaves under Mo Rao's name.

Although slaves were of low status, they at least had status.

In this way, Mo Rao had more than ten more servants under his name.

As for the fifteen assassins, Mo Rao had never even seen them before they became his slaves.

The fifteen death warriors are all led by Eleven, so Eleven can make decisions on their behalf.

All fifteen death warriors were assigned to monitor the movements of the princess's residence, so they are not here.

Their correspondence was carried out by carrier pigeons.

When the fifteen assassins learned that Eleven had acknowledged Mo Rao as their master, they sent their indentures via carrier pigeons.

Therefore, the transfer of ownership at the county government went very smoothly.

The ingredients needed by the restaurant will be delivered to the door by a special person the next day.

There is also a special old man who delivers firewood.

The daily turnover reached more than one thousand taels, and the net profit was five or six hundred taels.

Xiangyun Restaurant's high-profile and luxurious decoration, as well as its delicious taste, has attracted wave after wave of customers.

Finally, there were two guests who booked a wedding banquet that day.

Three days later is a good day, and the two have planned their wedding banquet for this day.

The son of the wealthy Mr. Li in town was celebrating his first month, so he booked ten tables for a wedding banquet at a restaurant and paid a deposit of fifty taels.

The yamen lawyer ordered a fifteen-table wedding banquet for my mother's birthday. A fifty-liang deposit was required.

Eleven said seriously and politely: "We can order a la carte at the wedding banquet, or we can directly choose the set menu. The set menus are 20 taels per table, 30 taels per table, and 50 taels per table."

A table of dishes costs twenty taels, and most of them are simple dishes, eight cold dishes and ten hot dishes.

Thirty taels of silver is enough for ten cold dishes and ten hot dishes, mostly meat dishes.

Fifty taels per table is a deluxe set meal, with ten cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, all of which are staple dishes.

The cold dishes for the 30-liang and 50-liang dishes are the same, but the hot dishes for the 50-liang dish include a spicy hot pot and a honey-glazed roast duck. Several of the dishes are also hard-core.

The deluxe set menu also notes that it will give you the feeling of flying in the clouds, which is definitely worth the trip. There is also an illustration of mist below the note.

Eleven took out the menu. The menus for the wedding banquet set meals were separate.

Each set meal has each dish painted vividly.

Mr. Li looked at the menu carefully and finally chose the wedding banquet that cost thirty taels per table.

When Master Tao saw the notes on the deluxe package, he asked curiously: What does this mean?

Eleven patiently explained: Let you dine at a table surrounded by fairy air.

"Isn't it going to create some thick smoke?" Master Tao said in surprise.

Don't worry, it's not thick smoke. It will definitely not affect your dining experience.

Master Tao was a little curious about this luxurious set meal, so he chose the luxurious set meal, a wedding banquet that cost fifty taels per table.

The two men each paid a deposit of fifty taels and left in a hurry.

The wall connecting the banquet hall to the backyard had been broken through, making it very spacious inside.

The banquet hall is separated by a screen, so two wedding banquets can be set up at the same time.

Once the screen is opened, you can enter through two doors.

The two wedding banquets did not interfere with each other.

Once a reservation is made, the dishes naturally need to be prepared.

Father Mo, Mo Qingshan returned to the provincial capital the day after the business opened.

According to Mo Rao's request, Mo's father bought a lot of saltpeter and some green vitriol.

Mo Rao plans to use saltpeter to make dry ice.

...

As there were two wedding banquets that day, the chefs started working in the kitchen before dawn.

As for the wild boar meat at home, Twelve alone could not finish it, so Mo Rao had already made it into sausages.

The braised meat and vegetables are all cooked in the same pot, so it doesn't delay the serving of the dishes.

Dozens of sea bass are placed directly in the steamer and steamed at the same time.

Braised pork is made by stewing the meat in advance and placing it in a steamer.

Since everything is prepared in advance, even if guests come later, the normal serving of dishes will not be delayed.

All the cold dishes have been served before everyone at the wedding banquet has arrived.

Just wait for people to come and then the hot dishes can be served.
