Chapter 251 Private Room Decoration
Chapter 251 Private Room Decoration
There wasn't a lot of beef sent to Fucheng from the border. After all, Dong Qian just wanted to test the waters at the beginning. Who knew it would be so successful.
Since people in the city also like it, Dong Qian has other ideas in mind, using other meat to make jerky with the same taste, but the texture and taste are slightly different.
"Buy ten pounds of pork and chicken," Dong Qian ordered the boy.
Since she didn't know very well how the dried meat would taste, she could only try it out by making some first. If everyone liked it, she would increase the quantity.
Shen An couldn't help but praise Dong Qian every time he came to Haohan Restaurant. No matter what Dong Qian did, everyone seemed to like her.
Some people love chili sauce, and this beef jerky is also popular.
"Why, Mr. Shen is jealous?" Qin Han couldn't help but choked him.
Shen An curled his lips and said, "Don't underestimate the friendship between me and your wife, I am happy for her."
He spoke so loudly that Dong Qian heard him in the kitchen.
The two people did become friends because they liked each other better, but since learning about that incident, Dong Qian understood that the friendship between the two of them had deteriorated.
"Shen An, if you are too busy, come and help." Dong Qian was worried that something would happen if he continued to stay with Qin Han, so she invited him to the kitchen first.
Anyway, it would be good to have one more person to help, but Qin Han couldn't help but mutter in his heart that his wife would not call herself when calling others for help...
If Dong Qian knew what he was thinking, she would definitely not do this.
During this period, Qin Han couldn't help but visit the kitchen several times, and asked curiously: "Why is this beef jerky only sent to the border for sale, and can't it be sold in the city?"
Before Dong Qian could respond, Shen An said helplessly: "The environment and conditions at the border are quite bad. Although there are these animals that are farmed and they do have a lot of meat, there are very few people who know how to cook them. This beef is sun-dried." It can be stored for a long time after being dried, and it is also their food ration.”
Qin Han's expression did not change, but he did not expect that the border would be so difficult. The meat was eaten raw and the taste was not good.
Compared with those in the city who eat chaoyan vegetables, people in the border are also envious.
Dong Qian makes pork jerky or chicken jerky the same way she makes beef jerky.
Because these two kinds of meat do not have the firm texture of beef, the meat is already a little loose by the third time of cooking, so it cannot be cooked any longer.
Now the roof of the entire room is covered, and now we only need to wait slowly for four or five days. Although it is shorter than before, it is still itching to wait.
When Shen An was about to leave, he originally wanted to say a few words to Dong Qian, but Qin Han beat him to it. Shen An shook his head helplessly and left.
"Madam, there have been more and more guests coming to Haohan Restaurant recently. How about we also open the private rooms on the second floor?"
Qin Han wanted to talk to his wife about this problem a long time ago, but seeing that she was always busy, he planned to solve it himself, but he was worried that she wouldn't like the designed room.
"What you said is indeed a problem, but for simple decoration, it is no longer an attractive place." Dong Qian smiled mysteriously.
Qin Han was a little confused as to what good idea Dong Qian had come up with.
"When we returned to Fucheng from Yancheng, we saw a shadow puppet show on the roadside. The themes of the rooms were all popular with scholars. We can also use such interesting things to express different meanings."
Dong Qian believes that Qin Han must know much better than herself in this regard. After all, his status is not ordinary. He can write well and must have read poetry and books.
After hearing Dong Qian's idea, Qin Han's eyes lit up, "My lady's idea is indeed good."
"So now I need you to think of several different stories based on different themes. It is best to express them very concisely and directly."
Qin Han found it a little difficult for Dong Qian to express all her demands at once, but it was not impossible to give it a try.
Naturally, Dong Qian wanted to express more than just these forms. She got inspiration from shadow puppetry, so she also wanted to use light and shadow to express Qin Han's story.
Dong Qian was very mobile and found Qinghe directly.
Dong Qian was very satisfied when she saw the shop in front of her. It was much bigger than before.
"Why are you here?" Qinghe saw her figure from a distance, and waited until she came closer before he couldn't help but stand up.
Dong Qian smiled and said, "Of course I came to see how you are doing. I have been very busy during this period and have no time to see you."
Hearing what Dong Qian said, Qinghe felt a little aggrieved in his heart.
But he soon realized that his mood was wrong and immediately took it back.
"Do you have any other requests this time?" Qinghe thought Dong Qian planned to change the pattern on the gift box.
Dong Qian quickly expressed the purpose of her visit. Qinghe felt that there were some difficulties, but it was not insurmountable. After all, their craftsmanship was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
After taking care of all these little things, the next most difficult thing was to visit all the facilities in the room. Dong Qian still spent a lot of thought.
Dong Qian just happened to be waiting for the dried meat to be baked, so Dong Qian stayed in the room thinking all day long.
In the end, I finally came up with a result that I was satisfied with. There were eight private rooms on the second floor. After excluding the four themed rooms of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, there were four left.
Dong Qian randomly set up another four themes that almost everyone will like.
After the beef jerky was baked, Shen An took full responsibility for the rest. The pork jerky and chicken jerky were sold in the restaurant, and the effect was extraordinary. Many people who like to listen to books love to eat this. Compared with Eating melon seeds is more honest.
During the time when the dried meat was being prepared, most of the people listening to the book in the teahouse were almost silent, because no one was eating melon seeds, and everyone was gnawing on the dried meat.
Dong Qian felt a little dissatisfied after tasting it, because the meat of both items was a bit loose, completely losing the firm feeling of dried meat.
So Dong Qian thought of some ways to make these dried meats more perfect and sell them. As expected, more people came to buy them.
Dong Qian wrote down the method of making these dried meats, asked the kitchen staff to make them, and then sent them to Shen An for baking. Dong Qian didn't need to worry about it at all.
She paid more attention to the setting and decoration of the room, and worked for nearly half a month before these things gradually took shape.
"Let me take a look!" Shen An couldn't help but go upstairs, but Dong Qian intercepted him halfway.
"The room hasn't been completely decorated yet. You can take a look when it's almost finished." Dong Qian is very confident about this time. She will definitely not find another house like this one in Fucheng.
