The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 109 The Industry Expanded to the Capital

"Spicy beef hot pot?" Jun Lan looked up at Gu Yin and was a little surprised. "We don't have this."

"It's a sure thing!" Gu Yin clapped her hands and said loudly, "Believe me, this hot pot will definitely be popular all over Beijing!"

"Chili and butter? Hot pot?" Jun Lan lowered his brows in thought. Spicy and oily, is it really edible...

Gu Yin stood up and paced back and forth, counting on his fingers as he began to talk about how to make the butter base.

"Then there must be more than just these two ingredients. When making the hot pot base, add cinnamon, star anise and peppercorns..." Gu Yin suddenly stopped talking and didn't continue.

She walked in front of Jun Lan, squinted her eyes, leaned forward and looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word: "Hmm... You are not trying to trick me, are you?"

"Trick?" Jun Lan didn't react.

"Trick me into telling you the secret recipe, and then go it alone." Gu Yin looked as if he had exposed her.

Jun Lan choked, she had never expected that she would say this. After she understood, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. Was she really so untrustworthy?

"Miss Gu, you have misunderstood the master. The master is definitely not that kind of person." Mo San defended his master, "Besides, the master has many businesses."

There is no need to ruin your reputation for a little benefit.

"Just kidding, just kidding." Gu Yin chuckled and sat back in her chair. "But there's no point telling you the secret recipe for the soup base. When I'm ready, I can just ask someone to send it to the capital on time."

The hot pot base is different from greenhouse vegetables. Once the secret recipe is leaked, it can be easily copied. The capital is not close to Ning County. Although Jun Lan guarantees that the people sent are reliable, Gu Yin still decides to keep it secret for the time being.

"The bottom of the pot...isn't it liquid?" Jun Lan asked in confusion.

"No, the butter base can be made into blocks. Wrap them in oil paper and put one in each pot. It's very convenient." Gu Yin explained, "But in addition to the butter base, I will also prepare other types. You can just give the recipes to the steward when the time comes."

After all, not everyone can accept spicy food.

Gu Yin once again vividly described the various ways to eat hot pot, which made Mo San drool. Mo San no longer doubted what Gu Yin said about the hot pot being popular in the capital. He thought that Gu Yin underestimated it. Once this way of eating became popular, it would not only be popular in the capital, but also in the entire Daji Dynasty.

"You have to arrange to buy cattle and sheep as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be enough supply in the future." Gu Yin solemnly instructed Jun Lan.

Jun Lan nodded in agreement.

The two discussed the details of the cooperation again and signed a cooperation agreement on the spot.

Unexpectedly, after this trip, the business has expanded to the capital, and Gu Yinyue couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Gu Yin planned to go home for lunch: "Mo San, please go and call my two brothers."

Mo San was suddenly called by his name. He was stunned for a moment, then realized that Gu Yin was planning to leave, and asked, "Miss Gu, are you not going to have lunch here?"

Mo San felt that his master should be happy to let Miss Gu stay.

Gu Yin looked at Jun Lan, and he nodded as well: "The kitchen has prepared it."

Gu Yin said without hesitation: "Then I'd better obey your command."

The chef of the prince's family can't be that bad. Hesitating for even a second longer would be disrespectful to the food.

This was indeed the case. At the lunch table, Gu Yin picked up a piece of fish that looked so delicious that it made people salivate at the first sight. She couldn't wait to put it in her mouth and half-closed her eyes in happiness: "What is this dish? The sauce is amazing. The fish is juicy and delicious."

When Jun Lan heard Gu Yin asking the name of the dish, he was obviously stunned. It was because he had always been alone, so he was naturally quiet when eating.

Moreover, even when I was in the mansion before, I followed the rule of "not talking while eating". Now, I suddenly heard questions at the dinner table, and I was a little uncomfortable for a while, but this feeling didn't seem to be bad.

Jun Lan's thoughts just flashed by: "Tongcheng Nine-turn Yellow Croaker."

"How come I haven't heard of it?" It was the first time that Gu Yin had eaten such delicious fish.

"This dish was created by Master Huang in the mansion. It is mainly made with yellow croaker, a famous aquatic product from his hometown Tongcheng, and a special sauce. It got its name because it needs to be turned over nine times during the cooking process." Jun Lan explained lightly, "Master Huang used to be a royal chef in the palace. This dish could only be eaten in the palace before."

"No wonder, it turned out to be made by the chef." Gu Yin gave a thumbs up.

Gu Yin picked up another dish and said, "What about this shrimp? Is there anything special about it?"

"The Bihu freshwater steamed shrimp has firm and elastic meat. In addition, the sauce is also special and cannot be found anywhere else." Jun Lan explained patiently.

After that, every time the servants brought out a dish, Jun Lan explained it without waiting for Gu Yin to ask.

After the meal, Gu Yin was so satisfied. She touched her protruding belly and felt a little annoyed, thinking that she should gain weight.

"Chenjun, how was your meal?" Gu Yin couldn't help teasing her third brother. The kid had been eating non-stop just now.

"It's delicious, better than ours." Gu Chenjun said excitedly, "I'm so full."

After dinner and tea, Gu Yin stood up and said goodbye to Jun Lan: "Thank you for the hospitality, we will go back first."

She wanted to go home for a nap. She could eat at home, but it would be unreasonable to go home for sleep at home.

Jun Lan did not try to persuade him to stay and just told Mo San to see him off.

Gu Yin slept for more than an hour, and when she woke up, she found that Feicui had returned.

"Jade, why are you back?" Jade has been busy with store matters. She came back suddenly. Could she have run into some trouble?

Feicui naturally took the cloak and put it on Gu Yin, saying in a nagging tone, "Don't you want me to come back, Miss?"

"No, no, you think too much." Gu Yin coaxed softly.

"I came back to tell the lady a good news." Jade smiled and said directly.

"Is everything about the store settled?"

Feicui nodded, her tone somewhat excited: "There are many things in the massage shop that need to be customized, so it's not that fast. But the snack bar and barbecue restaurant are almost ready, and they can be opened in two days."

"So fast!" Gu Yin exclaimed. This efficiency is too high.

“The snack bar and grill don’t require much set up, so it’s quick.”

"That's because you manage it well." Gu Yin put her hands on Feicui's shoulders and said happily, "Feicui, you are really amazing."

Jade pursed her lips, and the smile on her face deepened.

"When you get married, I will definitely give you two more dowries." Gu Yin patted her shoulder and nodded seriously.

"Miss, please stop joking with me..." Feicui was unhappy. Wouldn't it be good to make money by managing the business for the young lady? Why did she have to get married?
