Chapter 218: Menu Pricing
Zheng Sisi nodded: "Yes! Some of the dishes here are sold in restaurants in Beijing, but some of them are not available in Beijing. I have only researched them in the past two days. I can guarantee that no one has ever eaten them.
For example, the emperor praised the braised pork and braised pork offal highly. "
Shopkeeper Gao opened his mouth in surprise, and after a long while he asked, "The emperor has also eaten it. Oh, the price should be higher, otherwise it would be unfair to the emperor!"
Zheng Sisi held her forehead with her hand. This shopkeeper Gao was really good at taking advantage of others. She asked, "What do you think the prices of these dishes should be?"
Shopkeeper Gao carefully asked about the ingredients of each dish, and then gave reasonable suggestions. Zheng Sisi also thought what he said was feasible, so she priced the dishes according to Shopkeeper Gao's suggestion. Then she handed the pricing matter over to Shopkeeper Gao.
As time went on, those who were assigned came back with results.
Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu, the two purchasers, greeted as soon as they came back: "Come on, come on, give us a hand and carry these ingredients to the kitchen."
Zheng Sisi was stunned when she saw the baskets of ingredients carried by the waiters. She wondered if she had written the quantity wrong, as it was twice as much as she wanted!
She asked, "Cousin, Zhong Ruiyu, are you two buying the entire market? I don't want so much!"
Zhong Ruiyu said, "Sister Sisi, I thought the dishes you cooked were so popular, and I was afraid that the quantity you wrote might not be enough, so we discussed it and decided to buy a little more, hehe."
Zheng Sisi was very upset: "Did you buy a little too much? You bought twice as much. If you don't use it all tonight, won't it be a waste?"
Zheng Zhiyuan also said: "Cousin, I'm sorry, don't worry, if it's not used up, we can save it for tomorrow, so it won't be wasted."
Zheng Sisi felt that it was impossible to communicate with these two people. She had already excluded them from her mind and would never give any purchasing work to them in the future.
Since they had bought it, Zheng Sisi had no choice but to accept it and asked the staff to carry it to the kitchen and put it away.
Just as the ingredients were sent to the kitchen, the three people who went out to the pharmacy to buy herbs came back. Fortunately, they were still rational and did not over-buy like Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu. Zheng Sisi thanked them for their hard work and went into the kitchen with the herbs.
The kitchen was tidied up by several people and looked brand new. The items were neatly put away and every place was clean.
Zheng Sisi nodded and said, "Follow this standard every day in the future and keep it clean and tidy."
Several masters said they would guarantee to do everything well in the future.
Zheng Sisi didn't say much and opened the cloth bag containing medicinal herbs.
Several chefs came over and saw that they were medicinal herbs. One of them asked, "County Master, are we going to specialize in making medicinal food in the future?"
Zheng Sisi shook her head: "No, not all dishes with medicinal herbs are medicinal dishes. The herbs I bought are spices that can be used for cooking. You will know later."
In front of several people, he grabbed a little bit of various medicinal herbs and stuffed them all into a small cloth bag. This cloth bag was made by the kitchen maids when they were making marinade bags in the mansion. Since they made a lot, Zheng Sisi took a few and put them in the space. Now they came in handy.
Zheng Sisi explained the recipe to a few people while stuffing the herbs in, asking them to remember it.
The chefs were very happy to know that the county lady was teaching them how to cook new dishes, and they studied very seriously.
Zheng Sisi stuffed a seasoning packet with her stuffed sauce when someone came in from the kitchen door. Zheng Sisi looked up and was surprised to see that it was a few maids and Aunt Niu and the others.
Zheng Sisi greeted them, "You guys came pretty quickly, that's great. We just bought the ingredients and haven't processed them yet. You can teach the chefs to cut the ingredients first, and then we'll make the dishes we made last night.
It was the first time for the Niu aunts to ride in a carriage and to follow the county lady into the city to do work. They were so excited, but when they heard the county lady's arrangements, they immediately calmed down and got into work mode.
