Zhou Ying spread out her divine sense and swept a glance. After confirming that no one was outside, she took out five banknotes worth 100 taels each and a bag of broken silver pieces from her interspace and handed them to him. “Buy more for your preparation.”
“Alright. I’ll go now. Is there anything I need to bring along?”
“Buy some saltpeter if they have it. It’s time to prepare again as the weather gets hot. Otherwise, the price will definitely increase soon.”
Gu Chengrui nodded, then got up and walked out.
After he left, Zhou Ying washed up and went to the kitchen. She saw that Biaozi was teaching his disciples how to slice fish, so Zhou Ying stood by the side and watched for a while.
“How’s the practice of the dishes on the menu going?” she asked after he was done.
“I think it’s about time, but I don’t know if it can meet your requirements.”
“How about this? From today onward, you can make two dishes you’re not sure about every day at noon for us. Chengrui and I will help you verify it.
“If it doesn’t pass, we can still quickly improve it.”
“Should we start tomorrow?”
“Let’s start tonight. Aren’t there ready-made fish slices here? Steam fish ball soup will do.”
“Yes.”
“Also, it’s the same for Sister Haitang and Mrs. Liang. Have them make a snack every day, one serving each morning and night.”
“Understood.” After Biaozi nodded, he brought up his issue regarding ingredient preparation.
If they officially opened for business, he wouldn’t have the time to cut all their vegetables.
However, his two disciples were still young and had only learned for a short period of time. They might not be able to take on such a big responsibility in a short period of time.
Ingredient preparation was directly related to the taste and grade of the restaurant. They absolutely could not be missing, so they had to prepare now.
Zhou Ying listened to what he said and also took it seriously. It would probably not be enough manpower even if the people from her hometown came over.
She asked, “Do you know anyone? You can introduce them to me. It’ll save me the trouble of recruiting people everywhere.”
“Yes, I met a chef when I was escaping from the famine. He has several disciples under him. I’ll ask him later.”
“That’s fine. As for the monthly salary, it depends on their craftsmanship.”
“It’s only right. If they want to come over, I’ll bring them over for you to try their dishes.”
“Alright, let me know a day in advance.” Zhou Ying gave him a few more instructions. Then, she turned around and took a cucumber before walking out.
After eating it, she went to Mother Qiu’s place to sit for a while. After ensuring everything in the residence was normal, she walked around the garden.
At this time, the Miao father and daughter had already repaired the garden. It was much more tidy, and the flowers and trees inside were flourishing.
“Good day, mistress.” Miao Xiaoyu walked over and bowed.
Zhou Ying turned her head and looked at the little girl wearing a straw hat. Although she had tanned a lot, her smile was also much brighter. She asked, “Do you regret your choice back then?”
“I don’t regret it. I love these flowers, and watching them bloom is an enjoyment for me.”
“Very good; persevere. When winter comes, I will build a greenhouse for you. At that time, the time to truly test you will come.”
“Really?” Miao Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up.
“Would I lie to a little girl like you?” Zhou Ying later gave her a few words of encouragement and then turned around to leave.
After returning to the bedroom and lying on the soft couch, she remembered Niu Lirong mentioning Sun Wenhao’s return.
If she remembered correctly, Sun Wenhao had been captured with Lord Bai. How did he survive? Then, she hurriedly spread her divine sense and looked at the Marquis of Ding’an’s Residence..
