Peerless Young Master

“It smells so good.”

At the entrance of Rujia Restaurant, there are two huge iron barrels, one on the left and one on the right. When you get closer, you will find that the iron barrels are empty. The surface is polished very smoothly, and the tempting aroma spreads from the small holes and drifts around.

"Table number three, one Wushuang roast duck"

"Table number six, two Wushuang roast ducks"

"Table 18, one Wushuang roast duck"

…………

The restaurant was bustling with people.

Just a few days ago, two large iron barrels were suddenly placed at the door of Home Inn. This scene caused many passers-by to question it. They have seen Kirins, Pixiu or toads placed at the door of restaurants to symbolize wealth and fortune.

This was the first time that an iron bucket was placed there. Many people thought that Home Inn had gone crazy and wondered if it had heard this folk remedy from some charlatan.

But as the tempting aroma wafts around, just one sniff seems to be able to draw out the roundworms in a person's stomach, making it impossible for passers-by to walk at all.

When the Wushuang roast duck was served on the table, it was golden and shiny, with crispy skin and tender meat, as if it had a layer of attractive luster.

With a light bite, the crispy skin instantly cracks, releasing a rich aroma, followed by the tender and juicy duck meat inside, with a rich and layered taste.

Every bite has just the right amount of fat and fragrance, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, making people unable to stop eating, especially when paired with cucumber, flatbread, and scallions, it is the finishing touch;

It is sweet with a hint of salty, and salty with a hint of fragrance, which blends perfectly with the flavor of roast duck. Every bite is an ultimate enjoyment and can be called a delicacy on earth.

These people had never eaten such delicious duck meat before. As soon as the duck was launched, Home Inn Restaurant became very popular and the seats were always full every day.

Although the iron bucket is large, it can only hold 25 roast ducks. The two iron buckets together can only hold 50 roast ducks, which is far from enough to meet the demand.

These roast ducks would be reserved in less than half an hour. Many people wanted to spend a lot of money to buy one through the back door, but even so, they couldn't buy it.

Of course, everyone who comes in is a guest, so there is no reason to chase them out.

There is no Wushuang roast duck, but there is Wushuang Hulu duck.

Although it is not as fragrant as Wushuang Roast Duck, it tastes completely different and the two are indistinguishable.

It is precisely because of Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Gourd Duck that the business of Rujia Restaurant has undergone a qualitative change, changing its previous decadent state and vaguely catching up with Linjia Restaurant.

Anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before Rujia Restaurant surpasses Linjia Restaurant.

This situation made Rujia's father and son very happy. They thought it was worth it to exchange 30% of the restaurant's profits for its rapid development.

Especially Mr. Ru. When the Ru family was strong, he didn't care about the influence of the Lin family and made a verbal engagement with her. He didn't expect that more than ten years later, the Lin family wanted to cancel the engagement privately.

He even found a woman from nowhere and said she was Miss Lin, wanting to marry her into the Ru family. This move trampled on the reputation of the Ru family and became a laughing stock in the capital.

I just want to ask myself, how can Mr. Ru swallow this?

But no matter how unwilling they are, facing the powerful Lin family, the Ru family has no choice. If they use the marriage contract to scold the Lin family, people will gossip about them and say they are greedy for wealth.

However, everything is different now. Now that Home Ru Restaurant has Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Gourd Duck, its business is far better than before. This time, it is determined to trample the Lin family under its feet, give them a slap in the face, and feel proud of itself.

Let everyone know that Home Inn is not something that anyone can humiliate.

Even if the engagement is to be cancelled, it must be Home Ru who brings it up first.

The streets were bustling with people, pedestrians were bustling about, and vendors were shouting constantly.

Li Xuan walked on the street and headed towards Home Inn Restaurant. After a while, he saw the iron bucket placed at the door of the restaurant. He couldn't help but sigh that Home Inn was very efficient.

It has only been three days and the Wushuang Roast Duck is already on the table. From what I heard from passers-by chatting, Wushuang Roast Duck is very popular among diners and the business of Home Inn Restaurant has also seen a significant improvement.

"Sir, our shop has launched new dishes, Wushuang roast duck and Wushuang gourd duck. The roast duck has been sold out, and the Wushuang gourd duck is also very delicious. No one who has eaten it has said it is not delicious. Why don't you come in and try it?" The waiter stood at the door and introduced enthusiastically.

Li Xuan nodded and walked in. He took a quick look and found that there was not a single empty seat inside. Moreover, every table had Wushuang Roast Duck or Wushuang Gourd Duck, and these people were full of praise for it.

"Sir, how about you wait a moment? I'll seat you as soon as there's a seat available," the waiter apologized. Business was so booming.

"Wushuang Little Friend"

Mr. Ru is already old, and Rujia Restaurant is managed by Ruda. Now is a critical time, so he naturally has to stay in the restaurant. Unexpectedly, he saw Li Xuan and hurried over to say hello.

"Master," the servant said respectfully.

"Go down"

Ruda waved his hand, then said with a smile: "How come you have time to come here today, little friend Wushuang?"

"I stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect the restaurant business to be so good."

"It's all thanks to you, my friend. If you hadn't helped me, the business wouldn't be so good."

Ruda did not dare to underestimate Li Xuan. He was the man who could negotiate with his father and was not someone he could despise. Moreover, he was a godly chef and he could not afford to offend him.

"It's noisy outside, why not chat inside"

Li Xuan nodded, and the two of them came to the third floor. This was where Ruda usually handled account books and slept. The space was very large, with an outer room and an inner room.

"The restaurant business is booming now. I wonder how far it is from surpassing the Lin family?" Li Xuan was curious.

Ruda paused, a little embarrassed: "The Lin family restaurant business is not bad to begin with, and they made a lot of money from the soup pot before the New Year. If you want to surpass the Lin family, it will probably take several months."

The Lin family has been gaining fame with their soup pot for nearly a year.

Although Home Inn has Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Gourd Duck, it has only been a few days, so how can it possibly catch up with Lin's Restaurant.

"Too slow." Li Xuan shook his head.

Ruda frowned. It was already impressive that they could catch up with the Lin family in just a few months. However, he didn't expect that it was still too slow in the eyes of the other party. After a brief surprise, he showed a look of joy: "Do you have any good idea?"

“As the old saying goes, good wine needs no bush, but in my opinion, no matter how good something is, if no one knows about it, who will care whether it is good or not?”

“Therefore, the first step in doing business is publicity.”

"Publicity?" Ruda was puzzled.

"That's right, it's publicity. Only by letting everyone know that the food at Home Inn is delicious can we quickly gain popularity and attract more people."

"So what should we do?"

"Find some people, ask them to do nothing every day and go to the streets to distribute flyers."

"Flyer? What is this?"

"You can think of it as a picture. Find a good artist to draw Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Calabash Duck on it, and then label the taste and benefits. Tell everyone you meet. Over time, whenever people want to go to a restaurant, they will go to Home Inn."

"Secondly, the capital is where scholars from all over the world gather. The reputation of a restaurant sometimes depends entirely on the words of scholars.

When I came in just now, I took a look and found that the layout of the Home Inn restaurant was quite good, but it needs to be rebuilt behind it and named Wushuang Building.

Find some writers to write a few couplets, and anyone who can match them will receive a free roast duck.

The literati are happy, and with this fun, we can attract a large number of scholars to come. As for reputation, you don’t need to say anything, these literati will speak for us.”

"Stunning, truly stunning. I didn't expect that Wushuang is not only a great cook, but also quite knowledgeable in business. I admire him."

Ruda was shocked. After a lifetime of doing business, he felt like a student listening to his teacher's teachings in front of Li Xuan.

Through publicity, more people knew about Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Calabash Duck, which made the restaurant business flourish;

Attracting literati, especially those who can leave a few poems, will be of great help to the reputation of the restaurant.

Why have those big restaurants in the capital always been so high and mighty? Isn’t it because these places are the first choice for scholars?

With the help of educated people to promote it, how can its reputation not be prominent?
