After receiving the first payment, Ji Zhao smiled in satisfaction.
“Zhaozhao, I seem to understand what you mean by a high-end custom-made meal.” Shen Yao rubbed her shoulders and explained with a smile, “‘Twenty-seven taels of silver sounds expensive, but you’ve spent too much effort to earn this twenty-seven taels of silver.”
“The so-called high-end romantic set meal doesn’t lie in the price of the dishes, but in the thought,” Ji Zhao said with a smile. “Shopkeeper Lu wants Madam Lu to celebrate an unforgettable birthday. Our Spring Breeze Pavilion has done it ~”
In other words, Ji Zhao was very clear about the market of the Spring Breeze Pavilion. The Spring Breeze Pavilion didn’t sell dishes, but service.
“Let’s go home!” After cleaning up the kitchen, Ji Zhao turned to look at Shen Yao and smiled sweetly.
Spring Breeze Pavilion had completed its first business deal!
Moreover, the first customer was full of praise for the dishes of Spring Breeze Pavilion!
Sour and spicy boneless chicken feet, filet mignon, chilled grape wine, and delicious mushroom soup.
These terms were very unfamiliar to the citizens of the prefecture capital!
Of course, this did not affect everyone’s curiosity!
Twenty-seven taels of silver for a meal was enough to shut out more than half of the guests.
However, Ji Zhao was not in a hurry. After all, she had a clear plan for her career. She would first make Spring Breeze Pavilion famous before slowly carrying out the next step of her plan.
Peach Blossom Cottage.
Ji Zhao specially asked Shen Yao to buy more steak for everyone.
The steak she made was full of praise.
“It’s really fragrant!” Shen Dashan could not help but say, “Ah Tao, your cooking is really amazing!”
“Thank you for your praise, Father.” Ji Zhao accepted the compliment with a smile. Then, she looked at the silent Zhao Lanhua and asked softly, “What do you think, Mother?” “Delicious!” Zhao Lanhua immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “It’s just that this portion is a little small. But All Tao, is that Shopkeeper Lu really satisfied?”
“Mother, don’t worry. He’s really satisfied.”
Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and explained softly, “Actually, I forgot to explain to you before. The Spring Breeze Pavilion in the prefecture capital is different from Dingyuan County. After all, Yunchuan Prefecture is much more prosperous than Dingyuan County. Moreover, many people in the prefecture capital have power and influence.”
“Everyone has a different definition of delicious food. Some people think that food is used to fill their stomachs, but some people think that delicious food should be refined! The Spring Breeze Pavilion in the prefecture capital is targeted at the special mentality of rich people.”
“It’s unique. It’s the biggest difference between Spring Breeze Pavilion and other restaurants!”
Hearing Ji Zhao’s explanation, everyone seemed to understand, but at the same time, they didn’t seem to understand.
However, this was not important. What was important was that there would be customers coming to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to spend. That was enough!
Therefore, Ji Zhao was not surprised when the head of the Fang family stepped into the Spring Breeze Pavilion and wanted to order a custom banquet.
The reputation of the Spring Breeze Pavilion had long been made known. The most important thing for her next was to build the reputation of the Spring Breeze Pavilion. Anyone who had eaten at the Spring Breeze Pavilion would be able to praise it from the bottom of their hearts. That was enough!
“The Fang family?” Shen Yao was a little surprised to hear that Ji Zhao had accepted the Fang family’s order.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Zhao was a little worried. “What’s wrong with the Fang family?”
“Zhaozhao, don’t be nervous.” Shen Yao quickly held her shoulders and comforted her with a smile. “There’s nothing wrong with the Fang family. The warden in charge of the prison in the prefecture is Fang Yuanpei, Official Fang from the Prison Bureau.”
“Prison Bureau?” Ji Zhao was a little curious. “What kind of official position is that?”
“The Prison Bureau is in charge of the criminal registers of the prisons in the various provinces, as well as the cost of clothing and food. They are in charge of compiling the prison rules, tabulating the books, and other matters. Generally speaking, the Prison Bureau in the various provinces will arrange for a Director, a Vice Director, and four managers.” Shen Yao explained concisely, “The position of a Director of the Prison Bureau is not high. Although he has the title of a lower sixth-rank official, his treatment is not even comparable to that of a county magistrate.”
“I understand.” Ji Zhao nodded silently. “It just sounds like a high-ranking official, but he doesn’t actually have any real power?”
“You can understand it that way.” Shen Yao smiled and tapped the tip of her nose.
His Zhaozhao was really smart!
“The head butler of the Fang family said that this banquet is very important and that there will be two Madams of high status attending, so he repeatedly instructed me to make the banquet beautiful,” Ji Zhao said in a low voice. “However, the Fang family was very generous. They paid me half the deposit for the banquet of 66 taels per table from the beginning.”
“If I’m not wrong, the reason why the Fang family came to Spring Breeze Pavilion to set up such a banquet is related to First Madam Qin.” Shen Yao lowered his eyes and analyzed calmly.
“It’s related to Madam Qin?” Ji Zhao was even more curious. “Why do you say that?”
“First Madam Qin is Prefect Chen’s biological sister, and Madam Fang is the cousin of the Prefect’s wife.” Shen Yao explained with a smile, “The reason why the Qin family has such a high status in the prefecture capital is firstly because First Master Qin has contributed a lot to the Imperial Court. Secondly, it’s because of First Madam Qin’s status.”
Prefect Chen’s biological sister was also the head of the Qin family. Her reputation and status were obvious at a glance.
“Shen Yao, do you mean that the Fang family arranged such an important banquet at Spring Breeze Pavilion because of First Madam Qin’s instructions?”
“Zhaozhao.” Shen Yao rubbed her cheek and smiled. “Don’t think too much. Rest early, okay?”
“Alright.” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly. She knew that it was useless to think too much.
Regardless of whether the Fang family had come to Spring Breeze Pavilion for the sake of First Madam Qin, she had to make this banquet perfect.
The Fang family’s banquet was set for the 18th of September. There were still a few days of free time. Ji Zhao wanted to take advantage of this period of time to accompany Shen Yao back to Shanghe Village. After all, it was a joyous occasion for Shen Yao to become the Jieyuan of the examination. The Shen family would definitely organize a lively banquet!
Early in the morning of the 13th of September, Zhao Lanhua packed her bags and was about to say goodbye to her third son and his wife when she heard the sound of horse hooves outside the courtyard door.
“Mother!” After tidying up, Ji Zhao walked into the courtyard with a smile and wrapped his arms around her intimately. “Shen Yao has already prepared the carriage. Let’s go back together as a family?”
“All Tao? You? Third Brother? You guys are going back together?” Zhao Lanhua was so happy that she did not know what to say.
In fact, she had long wanted her third son and his wife to return to Shanghe Village together. After all, her third son was too promising. He was the Jieyuan! This was the first time someone in Shanghe Village had scored the Jieyuan!
However, Zhao Lanhua also knew that Third Brother and his wife were busy, especially since Ah Tao’s Spring Breeze Pavilion had just opened. She was afraid that they would not have time to go back for the time being, so she did not mention it.
Who knew that this couple already had a plan in mind!
“Let’s go home!” Zhao Lanhua said excitedly..
