Chapter 113
After processing the sea urchin, some golden flesh inside the shell covered with spikes could be seen. At this time, beat a few eggs, add an appropriate amount of water, stir well, pour the egg liquid into the sea urchin shell, and steam it until it is cooked.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yun Zhu fried a few sparidae. Breakfast was ready.
A pan of thick and crystal-clear crab congee, sprinkled with a little chives on top and emitting bursts of tangy aroma could be seen. The sea urchin steamed egg had been out of the pan. The light yellow egg liquid had solidified. Just put a few drops of sesame oil on it. With the contrast of the sharp spines, it had a very attractive feeling.
The fried sparidae was golden and crispy.
Xue Jing cooked a few cold side dishes. The breakfast on the table was extraordinarily sumptuous.
"Let's eat together." Jiang Yun Zhu said. That day the emperor called her into the palace, ain Jiao Yue and others protected her like that. It had moved her heart. She didn’t just regard them as store servers. That’s why she invited them to have a meal together.
"Boss." Jin Jiao Yue and the others had bright eyes.
"Sit." Jiang Yun Zhu stated.
"Boss told us to sit. Let's sit." Xue Jing knew Jiang Yun Zhu and understood that she was sincerely inviting everyone. Immediately, he grinned and said.
The atmosphere immediately became more relaxed. Everyone grabbed bowls, scooped rice, and enjoyed the delicious food on the table.
Xue Jing was very curious about the taste of the sea urchin steamed eggs. Straightaway, he took one. When he grabbed it, it pricked his hand. But he didn't care. He took a spoon to dig into the steamed egg.
The steamed egg and sea urchin meat were mixed together, so tender and slippery. After scooping it up with a spoon, it trembles as if it would slide down at any time.
Putting it in his mouth, Xue Jing couldn't believe it. How could it be so delicious!
"Boss, this thing..." He opened his eyes wide and spoke incoherently.
"The sea urchin is flavorful and delicious. The steamed egg is extremely fresh. When the two were put together, they are naturally delicious. This dish doesn't even need the addition of salt." Jiang Yun Zhu explained.
Tsk tsk, didn't even need to add salt! This showed the beauty of its own taste.
Xue Jing nodded repeatedly like an obedient student. He hated that he was illiterate. Otherwise he would definitely record these things down.
Jin Jiao Yue and the others ate sea urchin steamed eggs. It was delicious. A taste they had never tasted before. The moment the tender steamed egg slid into the mouth, it was addictive.
Before they knew it, everyone gobbled up the sea urchin steamed eggs on the table.
Jiang Yun Zhu watched in amusement, "This crab congee is delicious."
Then everyone drank the crab congee. which had a completely different umami taste. Xia Dynasty's maritime affairs were developed. People in the capital often peddled sea crabs, but Xia Dynasty people preferred hairy crabs, feeling that the taste was authentic.
Jin Jiao Yue and the others thought so before. But after eating the crab congee made by Jiang Yun Zhu today, they realized that sea crabs had its own flavor and weren't inferior to hairy crabs!
After demolishing everything on the table, everyone felt a little bit stuffed and sat on chairs to relax.
At this moment, Wu Yu suddenly remembered something, pushed Zhan Chang Chuan's arm, and made a silent gesture.
Zhan Chang Chuan glared at him. Why didn't he say it himself?
However, it was him who was requested to ask.
Turning to look at Jiang Yun Zhu, Jiang Yun Zhu was fine. She hadn't eaten that much and had already left her seat at this time. She was pondering how to make those seafood at noon.
Zhan Chang Chuan stood up and came to Jiang Yun Zhu's side, "Boss."
"Huh?" Jiang Yun Zhu turned her head and saw his embarrassed face.
"What?" She asked. Zhan Chang Chuan had a resolute personality and rarely showed such an expression.
Did something happen? Thinking of this, her focus heightened.
Zhan Chang Chuan hurriedly replied, "It’s nothing serious. Someone asked me to ask you, if the restaurant is hiring?"
As soon as he said this, Jin Jiao Yue stood up and looked at Jiang Yun Zhu eagerly. Someone else also asked her to ask about this matter. Unforeseen Zhan Chang Chuan took the lead.
"It can’t be that you also want to ask about this?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked Jin Jiao Yue.
Jin Jiao Yue nodded.
"Boss." Zhang He's glacier face was slightly stiffened.
"You’re also asking about this?" Jiang Yun Zhu was surprised.
Zhang He nodded.
"You guys aren’t asking for the same person, right?" Jiang Yun Zhu found it interesting.
The few shook their heads quickly.
Jiang Yun Zhu carefully inquired, only to realize that it wasn't the same person.
It turned out that these days Zhan Chang Chuan and others were staying at the Shiguang Restaurant, feeling that the sky seemed to have turned blue and the leaves seemed to have turned green. Every morning when they woke up, they felt full of energy.
When they came to the restaurant, they cleaned up, drank two glasses of wine in their spare time, and sometimes had meals cooked by Jiang Yun Zhu. That feeling, so relaxed and comfortable. Truly like a celestial’s life.
Then their former colleagues slash friend noticed that they seemed to have become a new person.
After hearing their description, those people asked them to ask Jiang Yun Zhu to see if the restaurant was hiring.
They want to come and see if the wine was so good, if the food was so delicious, and also that life.
After Jiang Yun Zhu heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was a restaurant, not a resort. What were they thinking?
"For the time being, there’s no need for more manpower." Jiang Yun Zhu said.
Jin Jiao Yue and the others showed regretful expressions. Their friends and those whose lives they trusted with. They wanted them to come to the restaurant very much. Whether you make money or not was secondary. The main thing was that everyone was happy when they got together.
At noon, Shiguang Restaurant had a seafood banquet. There were peacock fish, fried squid in sauce, sea urchin steamed egg, white snail soup with thyme, etc. Everyone enjoyed it. Shiguang Restaurant had even more private dishes that people talked about.
In the evening, Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming came to eat seafood. They both ate quite an amount.
After eating and drinking to their content, the three chatted. Jiang Yun Zhu mentioned Zhan Chang Chuan asked her if she was recruiting. She wanted to hear their thoughts.
Speaking of this, Yang Sheng was very distressed. Some people came to him these days, saying that Jin Jiao Yue and the others got arranged a place. What about them? They were all long-time members from Qilin Guards. It was hard for him to answer.
"Did a lot of people retire?" Jiang Yun Zhu was curious. In her heart, Qilin Guards seemed to be similar to Jinyi Guards. They should be showing off their might. But why, when Yang Sheng talked about them, it became like this?
Yang Sheng explained that there were quite a lot of people.
The Qilin Guards had high requirements. Generally, they carried out some highly dangerous tasks. If one went to the Division, one would know. There were very few people over the age of thirty-five in the team and almost none over the age of forty. They were either dead, or they were injured. And also, all sorts of things could go wrong.
Qilin Guards was such a place with a very low retention rate.
After retiring from the Qilin Guard, some people taught newcomers, but only so many people were needed. As for the rest, most received a sum of money and left helplessly.
What happened after leaving? Some people married and had children, but the majority became misfits in their surroundings.
Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng had discussed how to arrange them before. They wanted them to go to Jingzhao Manor or to work in various places. With their talents, they would definitely be able to do it.
However, the ministers of the court simultaneously objected. Even Emperor Qinglong disagreed.
"They think we want to place an eye everywhere." Yang Sheng mocked, "That's why they disagree."
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't respond. She knew that the two of them might have good intentions, but the concerns of the ministers did exist.
They were already afraid of the Qilin Guards. If the Qilin Guards were assigned to various departments, no one would dare to sleep.
The room became quiet.
Suddenly, Yang Sheng directed to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Miss Jiang, how about you open a few more restaurants in the capital? Your business would definitely be booming and you would be able to hire more people.
No, if you hire them, we could give you a subsidy. "
Yang Sheng's words were very sincere, but Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to open so many restaurants! What's more, those people had real abilities. Being servers in the restaurant would bury them.
In the future, it would be spread that the Qilin Guards retirees have all gone to work as servers in restaurants. It was easy to say but sounded bad.
Who would want to become a Qilin Guard? They worked so hard, but didn't even get a good ending.
At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu saw the unfinished seafood on the table and suddenly had an idea, "Have you ever considered going overseas?"
"Overseas?" Shen Feng Ming knew about Jiang Yun Zhu's planting of mulberry trees in Wuling County and immediately thought a lot. He had investigated later. There were indeed broad prospects overseas.
Hearing this, Yang Sheng regained his energy. He had heard and seen a lot of overseas things in Qilin Guards. He was curious about those places.
"I heard that there are many pirates at sea. The court’s management in maritime affairs has many deficiencies." Yang Sheng suddenly asked Shen Feng Ming excitedly, "Say, we tell the emperor, create a new department and arrange our people?"
Since they weren't allowed in this dynasty, they shouldn’t be hindered overseas.
Shen Feng Ming shook his head. The emperor wouldn't agree.
Yang Sheng leaned back on the chair angrily. He looked for them when he had something to do and feared them when there was nothing. They were truly capable!
"We could try to build a fleet first." When Jiang Yun Zhu said this, she thought of the East India companies from hundreds of years later in Britain, Portugal, and Spain.
It was a little far. But she knew that in the next few years, Xia Dynasty's maritime trade would have a big development.
It would be good for them to build a fleet and make some money.
With the money, would there be any fear of not being able to arrange those people? If there were no other ideas, then it was because the money wasn't enough!
Besides, the fleet needed all kinds of talents to go everywhere.
"Fleet? To do business?" Yang Sheng asked.
"You can do business first." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.
"What about in the future?" Shen Feng Ming asked.
This... Jiang Yun Zhu smiled, "It's still doing business."
The corners of Shen Feng Ming's mouth were slightly raised. Was that right?
"I'm not good at doing business!" Yang Cheng turned to Shen Feng Ming and then looked at Jiang Yun Zhu. Shen Feng Ming could do it. Jiang Yun Zhu too.
Yang Sheng suddenly fell silent. Was he the only one incapable?
"Do you want to do this business together?" Shen Feng Ming suggested. Of course, he mainly asked Jiang Yun Zhu.
Jiang Yun Zhu was very interested in maritime trade. What’s more, forming their own fleet meant that she could get them to bring back whatever she wanted? Also, if she wanted to go to sea to see in the future, it would be very convenient.
"I don't have much capital." She said. It cost a lot to build a fleet. Her restaurant was very profitable now, but compared with the money needed to build a fleet, it was a drop in the bucket.
