Chapter 148: Lo mei shop

Chapter 148 Lo-Mei Shop

As for the other shop, Wei Ruo plans to open a lo-mei shop.

Wei Ruo has observed that there are no good delis nearby, and people in Fucheng have a certain pursuit of food. As long as the taste is good and the price is higher, Han Hao can sell it.

Xiumei asked Wei Ruo: "Miss, you don't plan to let me be in charge of the lo mei shop, do you?"

Immediately afterwards, Xiumei muttered: "Miss, I would be happy to be the proprietress, but if I become the boss, who will take care of you? Miss, I can't leave you. If I leave you, what will you do if you are bullied? I don't worry." No more!"

"I can't bear to let you be the head of the lo-mei shop, but at the beginning we had to help you. After we have cultivated good people, we only need to master the recipe of the lo-mei. The work of making lo-mei is naturally Leave it to the guys to do it."

The key to a good lo-mei lies in the stew. A good stew is inseparable from a good sauce. Wei Ruo has a good sauce, good seasonings, and a good lo-mei recipe.

"That's good, it's okay to be busy for a while, as long as you don't keep me in the store, miss!"

Rather than being a proprietress, Xiumei wants to be by Wei Ruo's side and take care of her.

"I'm not willing, I don't want to let you go if you want to go! Unless you get married in the future, I won't allow you to go anywhere else!" Wei Ruo said.

"Who is going to get married? I don't want to marry! I will stay with Miss for the rest of my life!"

"Okay, okay, as long as you still think this way in the future, then we two will be bachelors for the rest of our lives." Wei Ruo laughed.

Then Wei Ruo took Xiumei back to the carriage: "Let's go, get ready, we're busy."

The two returned to Tianqin Garden together, and then Wei Ruo arranged the matter.

It was still the same as before, Wei Ruo didn't personally take care of the business of buying and selling shops and preparing for the opening of the shops, but left it all to Xu Zhushan.

Then Wei Ruo and Xiumei borrowed kitchen envoys from the cook in Tianqin Garden.

The cook in Tianqin Garden didnt dare to use it for Wei Ruo at first, not because she was afraid that she would use it badly, but because they dared not neglect Wei Ruos wifes distinguished guest.

If the wife knows that the guests cook their own food and their kitchen has not fulfilled their responsibilities, they will not be able to go around eating.

The kitchen didn't agree until Wei Ruo explained that they had something to do, not cooking for themselves.

The kitchen in Tianqin Garden is very large, several times larger than the kitchen in Xiaowei's Mansion, and the various kitchen utensils and seasonings in it are much more complete than the kitchen in Xiaowei's Mansion.

This made Wei Ruo and Xiumei overjoyed, saving them the trouble of going outside to buy various seasonings.

So the two plunged into the kitchen and began to study lo-mei.

After two days of busy work, Wei Ruo and Xiumei prepared a marinade that satisfied both of them.

"Miss, use this marinade to cook lo mei, it will definitely sell well!" Xiumei said confidently.

"Let's marinate some pig ears and pig tails first." Wei Ruo said.

People in this area dont eat much like pig intestines and belly, but they still eat pig heads and tails.

These parts are relatively cheap, the cost is low, and the taste of these parts is not worse than other parts when they are marinated.

"Yeah!" Xiumei entered the kitchen with an excited look on her face, carrying a clay pot with prepared marinade.

It must take enough time to make lo-mei, and it will definitely not work if the time is short, so simmer it at night and wait until the next morning to fill it out, so that it will be tasty enough.

Wei Ruo first took some of the cooked lo mei to the cooks and maids in the kitchen. They had been watching them for several days, always curious about what their master and servant were doing.

"It smells so good! Miss Wei, what is yours? How do you make it so delicious?"

The taste buds of the chef who has been cooking for a lifetime were overwhelmed by the cut pig ears.

"This is a pig's ear." Wei Ruo replied.

"Pig ears? Why are pig ears so delicious? They are fragrant and crispy. They have both a meaty aroma and a crispy taste that meat doesn't have. The taste is rich and the aftertaste is endless." The cook commented.

In Tianqin Garden's chef's impression, pig's ears are not a high-end ingredient, and the taste is always unsatisfactory, but the meat she just ate was even more fragrant than the meat she usually ate.

"There are still some pig tails here, you can eat them too."

Wei Ruo let everyone try the pig tail again, which also received unanimous praise.

Then Wei Ruo packed some pig ears and pig tails in a food box, and asked Xiumei to send them to Mrs. Yuan in the prefect's mansion.

After an hour, Xiumei came back and said to Wei Ruo excitedly: "Miss, Mrs. Yuan said that the lo mei we made is delicious, and she wants to ask us for some more for entertaining guests tomorrow."

"Then prepare more, this is a good opportunity for publicity." Wei Ruo said.

"Well, I'm going to do it now!" Xiumei was full of enthusiasm and excitement.

This time Xiumei marinated two more things, pig's trotters and pig's tongue. Then the next morning, I personally sent it to the magistrate's mansion to Mrs. Yuan.

That night, Mrs. Yuan asked her maid to bring a message to Wei Ruo, saying that the two ladies she hosted today liked their lo mei very much, and asked her where she could buy it. The news of a Xuji lo-mei restaurant told the other party, and the other party said that they must buy more when it opens.

The lo mei shop has not officially opened yet, so there are already customers, which is a good sign.

###

While Wei Ruo was busy buying land and hiring people to open a shop, the He family who received the letter came to Xiaowei's Mansion.

Those who came were Wei Ruo's adoptive father He Zhang, adoptive mother Mrs. He, and younger sister He Miaoer.

At first, the people from Xiaoweis Mansion didnt intend to inform Yuns, but they heard that the other party had brought medicinal materials that Xingshan County urgently needed, so the servants of Xiaoweis Mansion went to inform Yuns.

After Yun learned about it, he asked his servants to invite the He family in.

Although Yun didn't want to have too much contact with this family, the other party sent them two carts of medicinal materials. Out of courtesy, Yun let the family live in the mansion.

Afterwards, Wei Qingwan was also taken to meet the He family.

Seeing the three members of the He family with flattering smiles, Wei Qingwan felt uncomfortable all over.

She was educated since she was a child that a businessman is the most humble and the least visible. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to have anything to do with such a person.

"Sister, I'm Miaoer, your sister!" He Miaoer took the initiative to come up and called Wei Qingwan "sister" very enthusiastically.

Wei Qingwan took two steps back, trying to distance herself from He Miaoer.

But He Miaoer didn't seem to feel her resistance and alienation, and always had a warm smile on her face:

"Sister, I finally see you. I have been wanting to see you since I knew you were my sister. Now I finally see the real person. You are more beautiful than I thought!"
