Adorable Food Goddess

Xiaojing still couldn't wait for the ice cream, because the eldest princess wanted to know the result of Xiaojing's discussion with Xia cChunyu, so she sent someone to call him back for questioning.

The next day, Ye Jiayao went to work, and the moment the sign appeared, the whole Heavenly Residence erupted. Brother Yao had already become famous before he participated in the culinary competition. It is a very great thing. You must know that it is not easy to enter the Imperial Dining Room. Either they will win the first and second places in the culinary art competition. Such people will be the imperial chefs if they enter, or they will pass the strict assessments of the Imperial Dining Room, and then Starting from the bottom, if you work hard for ten or eight years, you have to add good luck, and maybe you can become a royal chef.

Everyone knows that Brother Yao is definitely not something in the pool, but the speed of his rise is a bit scary, it is simply soaring into the sky.

"Damn it, our Heavenly Residence also has an imperial chef, and it's the imperial chef of the Heavenly Residence. If it spreads, will our Heavenly Residence be overwhelmed..." Deng Haichuan didn't sound worried at all, but Arrogant tone.

"Needless to say, in the future, there will be an increase in the price of hand-picked imperial chefs to cook." Cui Dongpeng laughed.

"Brother Yao, does walking mean that you can enter the palace if you want?" someone asked.

Ye Jiayao said: "It's not that powerful, but it's just that I have the qualification to enter the imperial dining room to cook the imperial dining room. If there is a summons in the palace, I have to go."

"That's also very powerful. This qualification is not something anyone wants." Deng Haichuan and You Rongyan were happier than being an imperial chef.

"Li Yao, shopkeeper Li, please go over here." Manager Qian came to call her.

Zhong Xiang watched Li Yao go upstairs with mixed emotions in his heart, not to mention jealousy. Li Yao's cooking skills have already impressed him, but Li Yao's escaping is so fast that he can't even see his shadow. It was hard for him to accept.

Shopkeeper Li sighed there, if he could have foreseen today's situation, if he was killed and he would not sell Tianshangju, who is to blame now? I can only blame myself for being short-sighted and cowardly.

"Treasurer Li." Ye Jiayao greeted Shopkeeper Li with a smile.

"Li Yao, here you go, sit down." Shopkeeper Li pointed to the seat.

Ye Jiayao was not polite either, she sat down carelessly and listened attentively.

"This afternoon, there is a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, you go with me." Shopkeeper Li said, looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Shopkeeper Li still couldn't connect him with the royal chef, but he was indeed the royal chef .

"Is there any clue about the culinary competition?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Shopkeeper Li nodded: "It's almost done. Today's meeting will come up with a specific plan. If everyone agrees, it will be finalized. Come and listen with me, so we can make preparations early."

Ye Jiayao nodded happily. In other words, today I can meet the leaders of Jinling City's catering industry. Such an opportunity should not be missed.

"There is one more thing. Your status is different now. I think the price of private rooms on the third floor needs to be raised. How much do you think is appropriate?" Shopkeeper Li asked for her opinion. Although there is a contract between them, they have different identities now, walking in the imperial dining room, and going to any restaurant, they have to provide for her.

"Also, your salary has to go up too, so it's fifty taels a month according to the level of a chef, plus a commission."

Ye Jiayao laughed and said, "I don't care, shopkeeper, you can do as you see fit."

She earns thousands of dollars every day now, so it really doesn't matter what kind of salary and commission it is.

"Then let's do it like this, add 20% to each private room on the third floor, and the 20% will belong to you." Shopkeeper Li said. Anyway, this restaurant is not his anymore, so he is happy to be a good person.

"Okay, you have the final say." Ye Jiayao has already started to calculate. There are eight private rooms on the third floor. Based on the average consumption of each private room at 50 taels, plus 20%, she can get 40 taels, which is 1,000 taels a month. Two hundred taels, this is the most basic, more than 10,000 taels a year, plus the commission of moon cakes, Nima, next year I will have the capital to open a restaurant, and with three years of savings, I can open a large restaurant.

Sure enough, there is a skill in hand, gold and silver are available.

The more Ye Jiayao thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Shopkeeper Li took out a stack of banknotes with a face value of one thousand taels, and put them on the table: "It was agreed that it would be settled every three days, but you were away yesterday. This is a four-day commission for moon cakes. There are a total of 2,300 mooncakes, totaling 3,450 taels, Bingjian sold 136 moon cakes, totaling 1,360 taels, totaling 4,811 taels, you count one time."

For things like silver, no matter how much you calculate in your heart, it is just a number, but now that the colorful silver bills are in front of you, this most intuitive impact makes your blood boil.

Today is only the third day of August, and there are still twelve days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. If there is no accident, she can earn 20,000 taels of silver. Speaking out, it would scare people to death.

"No need, no need, I still can't trust you?" Ye Jiayao held a thick stack of banknotes in her hands, and she smiled from ear to ear, looking like a money fanatic who has an eye for money.

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "I suggest you deposit the bank notes in Datonghui, and there will be an interest of 5% per month. Besides, it's not safe for you to keep so many bank notes with you."

"Really? That's a good thing." Ye Jiayao thought deeply.

At the right time, shopkeeper Li asked Ye Jiayao to go to the chamber of commerce together, and went to Datonghui on the way, Ye Jiayao deposited the bank notes first.

Datonghui is the largest bank in the Huai Song Dynasty. There are fifty-six branches all over the country. It is powerful and is the best choice for all the wealthy in Jinling City to save money.

Ye Jiayao signed, stamped her fingerprints, got a deposit receipt, and then went to the Chamber of Commerce Street.

The so-called chamber of commerce street is because chambers of commerce from all walks of life gather on this street, including medicine, silk, tea, porcelain, antiques, and any industry you can think of. You can find their organizations here , It can be seen how developed Huai Song's economy is.

The facade of the Catering Chamber of Commerce is rather grand, and horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the door one after another. Shopkeeper Li had already given her a comprehensive introduction on the way.

The chamber of commerce is elected every three years. Now the president of the chamber of commerce is Zheng Fugui, the vice president is Duan Qilin from Qilin Pavilion, and the president of the previous chamber of commerce, Zhang Youcheng, is the oldest and the only one who has not opened a restaurant. Being the president is because he has many apprentices, and all of them are amazing, such as Lu Yiming and Zheng Fugui.

Ye Jiayao clicked her tongue, this old man is really amazing, Lu Yiming is good at vegetarian food, and he is not weak in other aspects, and although Zheng Fugui does not cook vegetarian food, he is very good at other aspects, so I would like to ask this old man for advice if I have the opportunity.

The meeting hall of the Chamber of Commerce is quite large, like the Heifenggang Gathering Hall, with three chairs on the top, and two rows of seats on the left and right, six seats in each row, and the height between the seats. Calculated in this way, there are only twenty-seven people who have seats in this hall, representing the most authoritative group of people in Jinling's catering industry.

Ye Jiayao was a little excited. Well, it's just a little excitement, people have even been to the emperor's Zichen Palace, and the imperial dining room, this kind of scene can only be regarded as trivial.

Shopkeeper Li pointed to a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s with a big belly and said, that is Zheng Fugui, the tall one on the right is Duan Qilin, who is about the same age as him, and the old man on the left with the beard dragging to his chest is Zhang Youcheng, of course. .

"Did you see that guy with triangular eyes? It's called Lian Xingwang, the shopkeeper of Xiangyilou, the little eyed guy next to him is Niu Baoshun, and the guy drinking tea over there is called Mei Xiuguang, the shopkeeper of Juxiangyuan... " Shopkeeper Li introduced them one by one in a low voice.

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but look at that guy more, Mei Xiuguang, right? Concubine Mei's relative, Mrs. Te, my old lady almost fell into this guy's hands yesterday.

Some people saw shopkeeper Li coming and greeted him one after another. Shopkeeper Li greeted him with a smile.

No one paid any attention to Ye Jiayao, they thought she was Li's shopkeeper's attendant.

Shopkeeper Li motioned her to find a seat in the back row, and he sat in the third seat on the left.

Ye Jiayao is very self-confident, as a newcomer of the younger generation, she should keep a low profile and sit down on the last chair in the second row on the left.

As soon as his butt was on the stool, someone came over and said in a bad tone, "Who are you? Do you understand the rules? You can also sit in this seat?"

Ye Jiayao raised her eyes and saw a young man in his early twenties with an arrogant attitude.

Ye Jiayao smiled slightly: "This is your seat?"

The young man said proudly, "What do you think?"

Ye Jiayao didn't like his attitude very much, but when she came here for the first time, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she got up and gave up her seat, but when she came together, she found that there was no seat in the opposite back row. That is to say, it is full.

Damn, do you want her to stand?

Forget it, just stand! So Ye Jiayao stood in the last row with the attendants brought by the restaurant owners.

The young man who asked her to give up his seat just now turned his head and glanced at her contemptuously, and said to the people beside him with a mocking sneer, "I don't know whose servant is so unruly."

The person next to him was kind and said, "It may be the first time here, so I don't know the rules."

"Hey, Xiaotian, my dad said that you are the most powerful favorite to win this culinary competition. A tiger father has no dogs." The arrogant guy boasted.

Xiao Tian? Lu Xiaotian? Could it be Lu Yiming's son?

Ye Jiayao has a good impression of Lu Yiming, and this Lu Xiaotian looks pleasing to the eye.

"Uncle Zheng has won the prize. There are so many senior masters here. Which round will I get? I just went to practice and practice. If you want to win the championship, you three brothers are the ones who are capable." Lu Xiaotian said.

Ye Jiayao thought: This guy with upturned nostrils is Zheng Sanduo? Fook Kee's young owner?

Only Zheng Sanduo said: "Where is it, I can't do it, I'm just joining in the fun."

Hypocrisy and disgusting, Ye Jiayao despised in her heart.

Someone came up and said, "I heard that the new chef from Heavenly Residence is very good. What do you think of him? Does he have a chance of winning?"

Zheng Sanduo snorted and said, "What's so great? Isn't it just opportunistic? Get some iced drinks and ice skin mooncakes to make a stunt."

"You can't say that. He hosted the birthday banquet of Prince Helian's Mansion and was greatly praised. If you don't have any real skills, how could you invite him?" Lu Xiaotian said.

"You don't know, the reason why the Helian Palace invited him is because he has friendship with the young prince of the Helian Palace. Moreover, it was originally my father who was invited by the Helian Palace, but my father rejected him because of his health. Otherwise, Where is his turn?" Zheng Sanduo said disdainfully.

I don't feel well today, it's late, sorry, there will be another update later.
