Chapter 235 Bamboo Fungus Chicken Soup

Several people returned to the restaurant, and the Third Prince entertained Magistrate Cao and others in a private room on the second floor. Zheng Sisi asked him to prepare dishes for them, so she went directly to the kitchen.

Zheng Sisi was looking at the bamboo fungus on the table in the kitchen and wondering if anyone would order this bamboo fungus stewed chicken. It shouldn't be too much to sell such a precious ingredient for one or two taels of silver per serving.

Regardless of whether anyone will buy it later, Zheng Sisi plans to stew four servings first, and she can eat it all by herself if no one buys it.

Arrange an aunt to clean and cut the bamboo fungus, and ask the chef to stew four servings of chicken soup: "Chef Wang, this bamboo fungus is very precious. Let's prepare four servings first. The chicken soup needs to be stewed longer and thicker. After all, it costs one tael of silver per serving."

Everyone in the kitchen was shocked. A serving of chicken soup stewed with just a few white mushrooms cost one or two taels of silver. Are they drinking the soup or the silver?

Chef Wang asked, "County Lady, isn't one ounce of silver a bit too expensive?"

Zheng Sisi said: "It's not expensive at all. This bamboo fungus is the king of fungi, comparable to ginseng. Do you think it's expensive?"

After hearing what Zheng Sisi said, everyone felt that it was not expensive. After all, ginseng is expensive, but it is a tonic herb. If it can be compared with ginseng, it must not be expensive. Everyone should treat this bamboo fungus carefully.

Arriving at the front lobby, Zheng Sisi told Manager Gao to put bamboo fungus stewed chicken soup on the menu, one tael of silver per serving. Manager Gao was also surprised, so Zheng Sisi had to tell him about the preciousness and uses of bamboo fungus.

Zheng Sisi also explained: "This bamboo fungus has very high requirements for the growth environment, and it is not available for a long time. All we eat is fresh. I have told the guards to pick all the ones that are available. You can keep them. The fresh ones are 400 coins per catty, and the dried ones are 2 taels of silver per catty. In the future, if anyone from my farm sends vegetables or game to me, you can keep them."

Manager Gao nodded and said, "Don't worry, County Lady, I will definitely pay them in cash."

Zheng Sisi added: "I plan to get some fresh ingredients tomorrow. This new dish should keep the restaurant going for a while."

Shopkeeper Gao said affirmatively, "Yes."

Just a few dishes from last night won over many customers. Today we also have delicious red lobster and high-end bamboo fungus stewed chicken soup. Rich people really like these healthy ingredients. Some of them are willing to spend more than ten taels of silver for a healthy dish. With so many new dishes and special dishes, I believe the business will be very prosperous in the future.

Before the meal time in the morning, several people dressed as servants came to the restaurant to reserve seats, saying that they were reserving seats for their masters as they were afraid there would be nowhere else to sit later. They also specifically requested two servings of red lobster.

Manager Gao was so happy that he didn't even want to see the restaurant. Although the restaurant was no longer his, the county lord was kind and the salary and bonus he received were no worse than if he had run his own restaurant. This way, he had no pressure, so he was even happier.

At noon, just as everyone expected, once the aroma of the food spread, the restaurant's business was really booming and there was a long line of people waiting for a seat.

Seeing so many people with no seats, a nearby merchant asked Shopkeeper Gao, "Shopkeeper Gao! We are old neighbors. You have no place to sit. Can I order a few dishes and take my own bowl to eat? Otherwise, how long do I have to wait?"

Manager Gao was in a dilemma. This kind of operation had never happened before, and he didn't dare to make the decision.

After hearing this, Zheng Sisi asked, "Boss, what do you want to order?"

The customer said, "I want to order one portion of braised pork with garlic seeds, one portion of braised pork offal, and one portion of flavored red lobster. Is that possible?"

Zheng Sisi: "Okay, go back and get some bowls and basins, I'll order for you."

In this way, the takeaway service of "Food for Fortune" was launched in such a sudden situation. Later, with the takeaway service, many ladies and elderly people who were not convenient to go out would send their servants to order takeaway when they wanted to eat outside.

It also alleviates the problem of limited dining seats in restaurants.
