Marry a Duke

Chapter 260 Tasting

A big part of the reason she opened these two stores was for herself, so that she could eat whenever she wanted.

That would make her feel that there was a connection between the world she lived in and her original world.

After bringing the pot back home and cleaning it, I asked the chef to prepare the base sauce according to the recipe, and all the fresh ingredients were bought.

I prepared two pots, one for mild spicy food, but I didn't serve spicy food right away because I was afraid that the people in the house wouldn't be used to it.

There is also a pot with chicken soup as the base.

In fact, there are similar pots in the shops outside, such as fish pots, chicken soup pots, beef offal pots and so on.

Furan’s is much richer in variety.

When Hua Mo heard this good news, he no longer bothered to eat in his yard.

There were two large tables filled with a variety of dishes.

The air is filled with the aroma of the base.

There were maids serving the dishes. Before serving the dishes, Fu Ran had already told them what dishes to serve and when.

After the meal, everyone enjoyed it very much.

Everyone was sweating while eating and exclaiming how delicious the meal was.

"The taste is indeed very special." Madam Wei's pursuit of food was already very shallow. She didn't eat much, but she still gave Fu Ran a good evaluation.

Wei Lin initially wondered if eating like this was disrespectful.

After all, some young ladies who are kept in seclusion in the boudoir eat in front of the steaming pot, and their makeup, even their hair and clothes, will be stained with the smell, which is not so good.

However, after eating it, she thought it was a trivial matter.

Even if she is a lady from a wealthy family, she can just go back and change her clothes.

Anyway, she is a lady from a wealthy family and doesn’t have much else to do all day long.

Yuchi Sui and Shen Feng'an were also invited.

Shen Fengan was the most supportive. He said everything was delicious and ate a lot.

Yuchi Sui was still a little worried about her.

Let her eat less from time to time.

If you eat too much and can't digest it, you will suffer from stomach upset later.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fengjia was a little unhappy with his suggestion.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is the ingredients prepared by Huanhuan. It's so fresh and delicious. Besides, the dishes are already cooked. How could you have stomach upset?"

Shen Fengan scolded her husband.

Yuchi Sui had no choice but to follow her wishes.

"Yes, yes, you can eat as much as you want."

Fu Ran was watching from the side with a smile on his face.

Yuchi Sui and Shen Fengan have a very good relationship. For so many years, there has only been Shen Fengan by Yuchi Sui's side.

There is no other woman.

The only son he had was Yuchi Mingxiu.

As Marquis Chen Yuan, he should have had more children to strengthen his bloodline.

He could have taken a concubine and a concubine.

But he still respected Shen Fengan, even if she was too weak to have another child, then she didn't want the child.

When Yuchi Huanhuan was away, they actually only had one child, Yuchi Mingxiu.

This is rare in this world.

"Mom, just listen to Dad. This is your first time, so don't be greedy. If it tastes good and the intestines don't protest, I'll prepare it again next time and let you enjoy it to your heart's content." Fu Ran said.

Shen Fengan listened to his daughter.

Then he put down his chopsticks.

"Okay, I'll listen to Huanhuan. Mom is actually quite full." She smiled gently.

When Yuchi Sui heard this, the expression on his face was really interesting.

She listens to whatever her daughter says.

She wouldn't listen to anything he said.

"Now only Huanhuan can stop you."

Yuchi Sui had no worries, he could eat whatever he wanted.

He ate it slightly spicy and thought it tasted quite good. It was quite interesting to eat it this way.

"Everyone eats from the same pot. If we open a store, some people might mind." Yuchi Sui said.

After all, not everyone uses serving chopsticks all the time.

There are also special people waiting to administer the medicine.

"Dad is right. I have considered this as well, so I have prepared a small pot and the charcoal is of the best quality. It is up to the guests to choose."

"That's good. You have considered it very carefully." Yuchi Sui said with relief.

Hua Mo just kept eating without saying a word.

He liked strong flavors, and slightly spicy food was not spicy enough for him, so Fu Ran asked the kitchen to add some fresh chilies, and it turned out to be spicy enough.

The spiciness made his lips thicker, and he was still scalding the meat slices.

Wei Xuan doesn't eat much and rarely asks for food on his own initiative.

Fu Ran picked them up for him.

He eats whatever is picked up and doesn't make any special requests.

He doesn't have too many requirements when it comes to food, and he doesn't need to try everything.

However, seeing how enthusiastic she is, she still has the chance to do business.

Perhaps, it will really become a hit in Beijing as she said.

The hotpot meal took an hour and a half, and almost all the side dishes were eaten up. Alin and Cheng Jiang also got some. After tasting the food, Alin was sure that it would be a big hit.

Half a month later, Fu Ran took all the pots, big and small, back to the store.

Specially made tables and chairs were in place, and the interior of the shop was properly decorated.

Even the signboard has been hung.

We just need to wait for an auspicious day to start trial operation.

Before this, they had already hired several cooks.

Although making this does not require many cooks, or even no cooks are needed, the base ingredients need to be prepared on the spot, and the preservation technology is not good at this time.

If you prepare it in advance, the base material may have an odor and affect the taste.

Fu Ran assigned several cooks to perform the process step by step, and now the secret recipe still belongs to her.

She signed a secret agreement with them.

If someone leaks the inside information, he will have to pay a huge amount of money as compensation.

She also had flyers printed and distributed.

It was indeed very expensive to print flyers at this time. Specialized paper was very expensive, and printing was also expensive.

However, Wei Xuan helped her deal with this matter.

Now you can see Sanheji’s hotpot and barbecue shop orders everywhere on the streets.

Everyone in the city knew about it.

Just waiting for the opening day to come and try it.

*

Chi Yang came several times.

He came twice after Hua Mo came to Beijing. Now he was assigned a new job and was not so free. Every day after work, it was dark and it was not convenient to come and disturb him.

I have to wait until the day off.

I only come here occasionally when I take a day off.

Today, he took a leave.

"I heard that your wife is planning to open a shop famous throughout the city. Now everyone is talking about it. She really knows how to manipulate people's hearts." Chi Yang clicked his tongue twice.

Wei Xuan glanced over.

"If you can't speak, you can say less."

Hua Mo on the side was gloating.

"Chi Yang, you dare to say anything with your mouth. You don't know that Wei Xiuning cherishes his wife very much. You dare to say bad things about his wife in front of him."

Chi Yang was stunned.

"That's not a bad word, it's clearly a compliment." Chi Yang knew that the relationship between Wei Xuan and his wife had eased, but it couldn't be said that they were quite dear to each other. He stared at Wei Xuan, but Wei Xuan ignored him.

"Tell me, why are you here today?" The implication is that if there is no important business, there is no need to come.

Chi Yang looked at Hua Mo.

"I haven't been here for a while, and I wanted to see how you've recovered. Doctor Hua, your medical skills are not good enough. It's been more than half a month, why hasn't our Duke Wei recovered yet?"
