Chapter 32 After taking charge of the chef

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the afternoon, Zhao Ran returned to his room and pulled out a menu.  Based on the estimate of two meals for the more than 160 people in the Taoist temple, the value of the goods is about three taels of silver.  The accountant allocates six taels of silver for meals every day, and the difference in price is naturally the fuel of the laymen who work in the kitchen.

    According to what he eavesdropped on the conversation between Zhang Ze and Gou Er at night, Zhao Ran knew that of the three taels of difference, one tael would be given to each of Li Fantou and Guo Caitou, and the remaining one tael would be left to the chef himself.  In your pocket.  With a simple calculation, we can estimate the extra income for everyone in the second room.

    In terms of food, Li Fantou and Guo Caitou each have more than 300 taels of silver in their pockets every year. Zhonghuoju earns money according to the number of days he is a chef, and he can probably make more than 50 taels of income every year.  Far more than the monthly silver issued by the Taoist Academy - Zhao Ran's own monthly silver is one tael.

    Although Zhao Ran no longer cares about this "little money", sometimes he can't help but sigh when he thinks about his days in Zhaozhuang. At that time, the whole family worked hard and could not earn more than five yuan a year.  Guan, the silver is only six taels!  By steaming rice and cooking vegetables in this courtyard, you can earn more than ten times as much as before.

    Zhao Ran was carrying the money he had taken back from the counting house and was about to go out to buy something at the small market at the foot of the mountain when he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was a merchant hawker wearing a triangle helmet.

    The merchant and hawker squeezed into the door with a smile and apologized to Zhao Ran: "Taoist Zhao, my surname is Yu. I am engaged in grain and vegetable business. I also have a butcher shop at home. In this small business, I mainly rely on food from the Taoist priests."  Eat. I heard that Daochang Zhao will be in charge of the kitchen tomorrow, so I rushed over to listen to your orders."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT FOR ordinary people, there are so many people who can't tell them apart, they are all called Taoist priests, and Zhao Ran also accepted the title of each other.

    Zhao Ranxin said that this guy was also smart and knew that he should take the initiative, but he also saved himself the trouble of running errands.  He said, "Boss Yu is quite well informed." As he spoke, he let the other person into the room.

    Zhao Ran handed the purchase list he had written to the other party and said, "Boss Yu, let's settle the accounts."

    Boss Yu took it and read it quickly. He took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ran: "Tao Zhang, this is the list I made in advance. I have almost all the ingredients you need on my list, except for this."  The blood sausage is out of stock, but it doesn't matter, the little one will go down the mountain immediately and let the shop pour it out overnight, and it will be delivered early tomorrow morning."

    Zhao Ran looked at the list handed over by the other party. There were more than ten dish names written crookedly on the list, followed by the quantity and price. After reading it, he couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself, this guy named Yu is bullying me.  ?

    Zhao Ran is not a playboy. Before he entered Wujiyuan, his family was a farmer. He had to live his life bit by bit, so he naturally knew the market price very well.  According to Boss Yu's list, the prices of vegetables and rice are much higher than the street price. It doesn't matter if it's a little higher. Who makes the Taoist Temple a big sheep?  But it won't work if it's too high. If the price is settled at this price, it won't be enough to pay for three taels of silver, and it will have to be at least four taels.

    Although Zhao Ran has six taels of silver, he can only use four taels, one of which is his own "kickback", and of course he cannot settle the payment accordingly.

    He endured it without getting angry, and patiently negotiated: "Boss Yu, sixty cents for a bucket of rice. This is the market price of fine white rice at Fenghui Rice Shop in the county town. The Taoist temple purchases it all year round, and even buys it in bulk. The price is as low as fifty cents."  There's no problem with the money. How come the price of your rice is as high as 90 yuan? And this piece of shoulder meat, which costs 1,000 yuan for 20 kilograms? Boss Yu, isn't it too expensive?"

    Boss Yu smiled: "Taoist Master Zhao, the Taoist Academy is not short of this money, but it's just a matter of raising your hand. Besides, I have to hire someone to send it to the mountain, right?"

    Zhao Ran shook his head and refused: "Absolutely not. We can do business for a long time, but your price must be fair. Besides, there are no hens in my menu. Let's talk about these six hens next time."

    Boss Yu laughed and said: "You can't say that This price should be considered fair. The price for the small one was discussed with Daoist Zhang and Daoist Gou. Both of them said it was fair. How could Daoist Zhao say it was unfair?"  What about this old hen? As for the old hen, Daozhang Zhang had already ordered it, saying he wanted to drink chicken soup. I brought it to him today, but Daochang Zhao didn¡¯t want it. I don¡¯t know how to reply. "

    When Zhao Ran heard this, his face turned cold: "Boss Yu, please come back. I will find someone to buy the ingredients for the Taoist Temple tomorrow."

    Boss Yu¡¯s expression also changed, he sneered several times and walked away.

    Zhao Ran shook his head, stood up, closed the door, and walked to the market down the mountain.  After wandering around the market for a while, Zhao Ran bought white rice at a Jinji rice shop and asked the shopkeeper to help him purchase vegetables and fish. The total cost was less than three taels.  The shopkeeper agreed and then sent it to the mountain gate, and Zhao Ran returned to Wujiyuan.

    After dinner, Zhao Ran waited for a long time for the shopkeeper to deliver the ingredients but couldn¡¯t help it.He wanted to go down the mountain to urge him. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, he saw the shopkeeper running up the stone steps in a panic. He was stopped by Zhao Ran: "Shopkeeper Jin, what happened? Where is the thing I want?"  "

    Shopkeeper Jin said with a sad face: "Daozhang Zhao, what's wrong, the ingredients you asked for were all prepared, but as soon as the guys arrived at the foot of the mountain, a bunch of rogues came from nowhere The guys got a good beating, stuff.  It was also ruined"

    When Zhao Ran heard this, he immediately thought of Boss Yu who came to sell goods in the afternoon. As for who gave Yu the courage to do so, no need to ask, it must be Jin Ze and Gou Er.

    After more than a month of silence, these two guys finally couldn't help but take action!

    Zhao Ran suppressed his anger and said to shopkeeper Jin: "Don't worry, Lao Jin. Some of the guys are injured. Ask the pharmacy gentleman to see the injury. I'll pay for the decoction and medicine. It doesn't matter if the things are gone. I'll give them to you at the original price. If you don't give them to me, I'll give them to you."  You bear this loss. You must have noticed that I am encountering some difficulties here, and someone is deliberately making things difficult for me. Let me ask you, are you still willing to take this business? "

    Shopkeeper Jin hesitated and said: "The villain is a cheap businessman, I'm afraid he can't help the Taoist priest."

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I know what you can and cannot do, and I won't deliberately make it difficult for you. However, there are indeed some risks. If you are afraid, just go back and we will pretend that we have never interacted with each other; if  If you are willing to step forward, from now on Wujiyuan¡¯s ingredients will be handled by you.¡±

    Shopkeeper Jin¡¯s expression changed several times, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Taoist Master Zhao, since you said so, we, Lao Jin, will boldly accept it. Whatever happens next, I will obey Director Zhao¡¯s instructions.¡±

    Zhao Ran patted shopkeeper Jin on the shoulder, praised him for being so courageous, and then took him into Wujiyuan and went directly to the clean room to find Guan Er.

    Guan Er was enjoying the cool in the small courtyard, picking his feet and bragging with Zhou Huai and others. When he saw Zhao Ran coming over, he stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you came just in time. We will have a rest in two days. We are thinking about going there."  Shiquan County is playing tricks. You said you had something to do a few times before, but you must not shirk it this time!"

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Okay, this time Xiu Mu will go with everyone, and all the expenses will be borne by me!"

    Everyone in the clean room and private room immediately cheered.

    Zhao Ran took Guan Er aside and told him everything from beginning to end. Guan Er immediately became anxious, yelled a few curse words, and wanted to call on everyone to copy him.

    "Brother Zhao, please be relieved, these two things are really mean. I wanted to beat them last time, but you stopped me! Today I have to make them kneel on the ground and kowtow to beg for mercy!"

    "Wait a minute!" Zhao Ran grabbed the furious Guan Er, "That's not how things work. It's obvious who is causing trouble, but sometimes things that are obvious can't be picked out and done clearly!  Who are those gangsters? We all know that it was the guy named Yu who found them. The guy named Yu must have been under the instructions of Zhang Ze and Gou Er, but you know that we didn't take advantage of them. Are you so  If you bring a group of people to knock on the door, the matter will become a big deal. When the time comes, they will deny it. Who are you going to ask for explanation? Instead, it will become our fault. "

    Guan Er heard this and said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? Can't we let them go?"

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "It's easy to handle! Treat others in their own way and treat them in their own way. If someone gets angry, let's just imitate the cat and imitate the tiger. Just learn from it!"
