Chapter 323 Dining in a Restaurant
"Or Xiaoyao, you can ask him if he is willing to sell the recipe to Wankelai." Tao Yulian proposed another plan. Tao Yulian could see the expressions on You Shuangjiang and Li Fengzhi when they talked about the snail noodles. It turns out that they both really like this kind of food. On the contrary, her eldest son Yang Yuyao was very calm about this.
"Buying a piece of cake? This should be no problem, but if Afu is willing to come to Xiadu, you can let him do it once. If you think it is good, you can directly buy the piece of cake in the name of the Yang family. In this way, as long as the Yang family's name involves catering It can be used for any business." Yang Yuyao was sure that if he came forward, Goodford would definitely agree to sell his son to the Yang family. The only question is still when Goodford can come to the summer capital.
"In the name of the Yang family? Well, this is indeed better." Tao Yulian smiled in agreement. Indeed, more than Wanke came to the restaurant and inn under the Yang family's name to buy the recipe for a certain dish in the name of the Yang family. , which means that the Yang family will have greater initiative. If they open more restaurants and inns in the future, they can also be used. Of course, the Yang family has done this before, but it is mainly because it is difficult to negotiate a suitable amount, but since Yang Yuyao himself took the initiative to mention this method, which shows that he is confident that it can be achieved.
Tao Yulian was very happy that her eldest son had grown up so well, but she couldn't help but regret that she had been absent from his growth. However, Tao Yulian would also wonder, if Yang Yuyao was not brought up by He Qianqing but grew up in the General's Mansion, would he have grown up like this?
After all, if the Yang family's training method was followed, they would definitely hope that Yang Yuyao could inherit his father's legacy and become a general capable of killing enemies and plundering battle formations. It was unlikely that He Qianqing would spare no effort to support Yang Yuyao's own preferences like He Qianqing did. After all, Yang Yuyao was so young at that time, it was hard to imagine what he would grow into later.
At least at that time, everyone thought that although Yang Yuyao was very delicate and cute when he was a child, after all, his father and grandfather were so tall and powerful, and he would be like this when he grew up. At that time, no one would think that the eldest son of General Zhenguo would become more and more beautiful as he grew older, so beautiful that it could confuse people's minds and charm their souls. So much so that the current Yang family is happy that Yang Yuyao did not have a son to inherit his father's legacy and become a military general. Unless he goes on an expedition and must face him, he will incur extremely vicious humiliation from the enemy. The enemy may even be like a hungry wolf trying to capture him and have a party in the military camp.
Yang Yuyao's grandmother, Yin Wan'er, experienced something like this when she went to the battlefield. It wasn't until she gained a murderous reputation that she calmed down a little and didn't dare to do it so openly. Therefore, Yin Wan'er is the least in favor of allowing Yang Yuyao to become a military commander. It is very risky for a person who is too beautiful to enter the battlefield, a place that naturally arouses people's ferocity. She also specifically mentioned that when there was a war between Wei Wu Kingdom and Bianliang Kingdom, there was a beautiful young man in Bianliang Kingdom. The school captain was captured by the army of Wei Wuguo. When his body was brought back, he had multiple fractures all over his body, his legs were broken, and he was tortured until he was almost unrecognizable.
As a parent, Tao Yulian certainly does not want any of her children to suffer disaster, not even to be humiliated. Even if Yang Yuyao is far more powerful than he gives people the impression, in their eyes, the children will never grow up. Children who need good care. Tao Yulian prayed that her husband and her second son would return safely as soon as possible, and then drove away the bad emotions and thoughts. Try to reintegrate into this relaxing atmosphere.
"Speaking of Yuwei, can you eat spicy food? The snail noodles will always be a little spicy." Yang Yuyao asked. These young people seemed to have no worries and were still discussing delicious food.
"Ah? Does this dish have to be spicy?" Yang Yuwei was shocked and sad. She couldn't eat any of the pepper. This forced her to miss a lot of delicious food but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Xiaowei, your taste is very similar to that of your elder brother. He rarely touches spicy food." Zhu Molan said with a smile. Now she has found someone who can serve at the table and accompany others to eat, but who is not tempted by delicious food and has an unstable mind. The only way was to stare at Yang Yuyao. She even found a way to stare at Yang Yuyao for a long time without arousing the boy's disgust.
After using this method, what she was craving for was no longer food, but Yang Yuyao's beautiful and extraordinary skin. Appreciating Yang Yuyao's face can help her divert her attention, which is enough to make her feel happy and extremely satisfied. And she won't be like some other people, who not only forget to eat, but also become more and more hungry and thirsty.
However, even if this method is not used, it is not easy to sway her, a monk who has practiced for more than five hundred years, with delicious food. Zhu Molan will sigh in her heart that the delicious food is tempting, and can't help but reminisce about the taste she has tasted in the past. But her Taoist heart will not really be shaken by this.
"Of course snail noodles must be spicy, spicy is enough!" As someone who has tasted Goodford's original version of snail noodles, Li Fengzhi believes that non-spicy snail noodles have no soul.
"Actually, I have to make a slight correction. Snail noodles should be regarded as a staple food, not a dish." Yang Yuyao said. He estimated that the reason why You Shuangjiang and Li Fengzhi had such misunderstandings was because they were both in the qi-training period with strong appetites. After eating snail noodles, they could eat other vegetables and staple foods. In addition, the Liuyun Sect was in Qingyun. The container used to serve snail noodles in the city's inn is not the usual noodle bowl, but a bowl used to hold soup. Therefore, Li Fengzhi and the two of them regarded snail noodles and vermicelli soup, pimple soup and other foods as similar. Something?
"Well, if you think about it carefully, if you are a mortal, you will be full after eating one portion." You Shuangjiang was surprised for a while, then thought about it and figured it out. "And that ingredient called rice noodles is a noodle-like food made from rice."
"Ugh... I want to try it even more. Why is it spicy?" Yang Yuwei felt even sadder.
"If you just want to eat rice noodles, you don't have to eat spicy snail noodles. There are many ways to make rice noodles. For example, various broth noodles, braised pork noodles with marinade, sweet and sour cold noodles, etc. You can eat them for many days. They are all the same." Yang Yuyao comforted him, but this only aroused the greed of Yang Yuwei, Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang. The three of them all looked at him with bright eyes, making him feel hairy behind his back.
"Will eldest brother do this?" Yang Yuwei asked expectantly.
"Well, my friend Gudefu should be able to cook. Let's eat first and don't neglect the food in front of us." Yang Yuyao quickly excused himself. He actually hadn't mentioned so many types of rice noodle recipes to Goodford, but he believed that Goodford's cooking skills would definitely be able to figure it out!
"It seems that Frost's Descent is not very suitable for fasting practice!"
"It's okay to not fast if I teach her the cultivation method, but she's still far from being able to start fasting. It's up to her to make her own choice when the time comes." Tao Yulian and Zhu Molan chatted quietly with their mouths half blocked.
After suspending their chat, they began to use chopsticks to eat. As the accompanying servants, they actually had the job of helping test poisons, but this work was not very necessary for the monks. The monks have much stronger resistance to poison than ordinary people. There are many poisons that can kill mortals, and even low-level monks can eat them without any problems. However, the process of poison testing is still retained. It's just that... Teng Yu looked at the poison testing bowls he piled high with a subtle mood.
Since he wanted to test the poison, of course he needed to taste everything the host wanted to eat, so Yang Yuyao used a pair of unused chopsticks to put some of each dish into Teng Yu's bowl. Not to mention that the young master should not have done this himself, the amount of each dish was too much. After finishing this bowl, Teng Yu was full.
Teng Yu, who was not worried that he would be poisoned, was a little suspicious that Yang Yuyao was deliberately trying to make him full. As a servant, if you go out with your master, except for the initial poison test, you will have to serve the master's food and drink, and you can no longer eat. If there are any leftover dishes, they will be given to the servants if they are in the house. However, when going out, it is impossible for the master to finish eating and then wait for the servants to finish the leftovers before leaving. Therefore, even if he is hungry, he can only endure it. . But this time, Teng Yu knew that he would not be hungry.
He Qianqing could tell that Yang Yuyao was pretending that he didn't understand the rules and wanted to make Teng Yu full, so he just smiled. After all, Yang Yuyao often packed food and brought it back to Tushan. He Qianqing guessed that maybe he was influenced by others. Due to the influence of the world, Yang Yuyao's view of these servants is different from theirs.
Tao Yulian was whispering to Zhu Molan, and Yang Yuwei was struggling with which dish to eat next. They didn't seem to notice Yang Yuyao's small movements of piling food towers in Teng Yu's bowl at an extremely fast speed. Hong Wan saw it, but lowered her head, pretending that she didn't see it and didn't know.
In order to satisfy everyone, especially the three big eaters in the Qi training period, a lot of dishes were ordered, so when the meal was finished, there were a lot of leftovers. After confirming that no one wanted to eat anymore, Yang Yuyao took out a paper bag made of oil paper from the space ring and gave a portion to Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang, so the three of them packed it up in a tacit understanding.
"Yu Yao said that we should save food and not waste food..." Li Fengzhi, who was stared at in surprise by Tao Yulian and Yang Yuwei because he packed the most food the fastest, shrank his neck and explained. "You can take these back for a late night snack."
"But there will be no shortage of food at home." Yang Yuwei said, unable to understand this packing behavior.
“But making new food requires additional money. Since this part of the food that is basically untouched and still edible must be paid, and there are no outsiders, why spend more money to make new food? Assuming that the meal we ate cost fifteen taels of silver, we only ate almost two-thirds of it in total. The remaining one-third can be roughly calculated as worth five taels of silver. If we also finish the food of this five taels of silver , the family can spend five taels less on making new dishes and save more times. The money saved can be used to buy more and better weapons and other useful magic weapons. For example, originally, one could only buy one a year. It’s a weapon, but if you save this money, you might be able to buy one more.”
Yang Yuyao explained that he didn't say anything, but everyone knows that every meal on the plate is hard work. As a young lady favored by her family, Yang Yuwei is unlikely to sympathize with those farmers who work hard. So he explained it in terms of saving to benefit himself.
"Yu Yao, kid, why don't you use beautiful dresses and hairpins to explain this kind of thing to girls?" After listening to Yang Yuyao's words, Zhu Molan secretly thought to herself, people who have never suffered or been hungry often He wouldn't think that one day he would not be able to eat. Yang Yuyao's starting point was fine, but his focus seemed wrong.
"So this way we can buy more weapons and magic weapons at home?! Brother, give me some paper bags too, and I'll take them back for a midnight snack!" Yang Yuwei was immediately persuaded. The Yang family actually has quite a lot of weapons. , but it does not prevent Yang Yuwei from wanting more useful weapons. Although she has chosen a steel whip that she likes very much, monks generally do not have only one weapon that they usually use.
After all, people have two hands. If the main weapon can be used with one hand, then the other hand can use another weapon to assist in combat. Or it can fill the gap in time when the main weapon is knocked away and damaged. Yang Yuwei also wanted to choose a handy secondary weapon for herself, but for her now, there were not many suitable weapons in the arsenal.
The Yang family, including the sergeants in the army, are not small. After all, unless the war reaches the later stages of the war and there are not many original soldiers left and only men can be added to the army, other countries will definitely give priority to those who are taller. Martha's men entered the army. The height of the Yang family naturally makes the weapons in the arsenal more suitable for tall people. Even the handles of many weapons cannot be fully grasped by Yang Yuwei's small hands.
Although Yang Yuyao has added a batch of new weapons to the arsenal, Yang Yuyao is only thin in stature. In terms of height alone, he is considered tall among men, and his fingers are slender. When he collected these weapons, he didn't know that he had a sister, so of course he picked them up casually.
"Oh, I can't believe it. It seems that Yu Yao knows his sister quite well." Zhu Molan thought in surprise when she saw Yang Yuwei's reaction.
Tao Yulian noticed that Yang Yuyao specifically added "no outsiders" in his words. Yang Yuyao's method of packing leftovers would be regarded as being like a beggar if he dines with other dignitaries or participates in a banquet. No different, you will lose face. But it is true, as Yang Yuyao said, every time you eat a meal, you throw away a few taels of silver, which adds up to a lot in a year. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed necessary not to waste it. But the most important thing is that Yang Yuyao regards the people here as his own and he finally truly accepts them.
"Xiao Yao, do you want to pack these up and give them to your two personal servants who stay in the house?" He Qianqing asked through a message.
"Well, there is quite a bit left after all." Yang Yuyao admitted. The standard food for the servants of the General's Mansion was okay, but whether it was brain-burning study or martial arts training, it was very energy-intensive, so for these three people, the nutrients and energy that regular meals could provide were not enough.
Although Yang Yuyao considered not being too young when selecting these three people, because he wanted people with more experience to create the story, even so, these three people are only around 20 years old, and they are all The teenage years still require a lot of nutrients and energy. The standard food for the servants of the General's Mansion can ensure that they are full, but it cannot be called nutritious. The most important way to improve the food of the servants is to rely on the leftovers given by the masters. Yang Yuyao packed these and did not touch them much. Taking the food back to Huang Ya and Shen Ming was regarded as employee welfare in Yang Yuyao's view, but in fact it was no different from a reward.
There is no need to leave the box to settle the bill. The shopkeeper will come over in person with a cashier holding a tray to settle the bill. On the tray are an abacus, a handwritten bill, a small scale, a pair of large scissors and a brocade bag containing change. When they saw the packed dinner plates that were so clean that only juice remained, the two of them were stunned, and then confirmed that Yang Yuyao and the others wanted to pay.
So the shopkeeper picked up the bill and read out the name and price of each dish they had eaten one by one. The accountant on the side calculated the total price based on the abacus. The final result was that their meal cost The price was seventeen taels and twenty cents. Li Fengzhi took a breath when he heard this quotation, and Yang Yuyao directly took out eighteen taels of silver and twenty cents and asked the accountant to find it.
Yang Yuyao's broken silver is currently used as materials for making magic weapons, so he only has complete silver ingots left on him. However, even if there is broken silver, you may not be able to pick out the exact amount of five cents and two cents, so you still have to ask the accountant to make change.
"Your Highness Princess, this..." Hong Wan did not expect that Yang Yuyao would pay first, which made her feel embarrassed as she was responsible for holding the money and preparing to pay.
"That's all, if Yao'er wants to pay, let him pay." Tao Yulian saw that what Yang Yuyao did was not just to pay the bill first. He wanted to let Tao Yulian and the others see that he said there was no shortage. Money is not about bragging. And Tao Yulian could also see that Yang Yuyao really didn't deliberately make his face look fat. He doesn't waste food, but he doesn't consume it scrupulously.
Mr. Su Chunlai's accountant at the restaurant is also a master. One tael of silver is exactly five cents when he cuts it off. Twenty cents is exactly equal to two cents of silver, so after Yang Yuyao got the five cents of silver, the account was settled.
"This meal cost seventeen taels of silver..." Li Fengzhi was still in a daze when he walked out of the restaurant. Yang Yuyao took him and You Shuangjiang to dinner because Yang Yuyao went to the shopkeeper to borrow money, so Li Fengzhi didn't pay much attention to what they ate. How much does each meal cost? Seventeen taels of silver! Ordinary people can only earn twenty or thirty taels of silver after working hard for a year. No wonder he was working and practicing while looking for Yang Yuyao before he met Yang Yuyao. It was so difficult to just eat enough. If he had known that he would have carefully calculated how much money he had. How much money did you spend on food?
"The prices in Xiadu don't seem to be as high as in places like Ningcheng and Qingyun City." Yang Yuyao said. He originally thought that this meal would cost at least twenty taels of silver. The dishes in this meal are not only large in quantity, but also include several expensive dishes, such as braised deer legs, steamed saury with shredded green onions, stir-fried hazel chicken with matsutake mushrooms, etc. As a result, without any discount, not even twenty taels of silver could be used.
"Indeed." He Qianqing said in agreement.
