Knowing that Chunfeng Restaurant finally ushered in its first business, Zhao Lanhua was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

When she heard that Ji Zhao was going to charge the first guest twenty-seven taels of silver, she was dumbfounded.

"A Tao, isn't this price too high?" Zhao Lanhua frowned and asked, "Twenty-seven taels of silver, this can buy a lot of mutton buns!"

Zhao Lanhua felt it was not worth spending twenty-seven taels of silver just for one meal.

What she was more worried about was that once the price got out, would there still be customers coming to Chunfeng Restaurant?

"Mother, don't worry." Ji Zhao smiled lightly, with confidence in mind, "When shopkeeper Lu finishes this romantic meal with his wife, he will think it's worth the money."

Zhao Lanhua couldn't understand it, and couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to.

Qin Mansion.

Mrs. Qin couldn't help laughing after listening to Madam Wu's recent news about Fucheng, "Young girl, A Tao, you are really bold!"

"Ma'am, do you think this Spring Breeze Restaurant can make money?" Madam Wu expressed doubts about this.

Although she also admitted that Miss Ji's cooking skills are excellent, but opening a tavern is not for charity, so how can she keep sending things out?

"Girl A Tao is not stupid," Mrs. Qin sighed with a smile, "Didn't Mrs. Fang want to use the momentum of the Qin family to help her daughter-in-law find a good marriage?"

"Yes," Nanny Wu nodded hastily, "The Fang family is the old lady's natal family. Since the old lady passed away ten years ago, the Fang family and the Chen family have not had much contact with each other. The girl will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and the Fang family just started to move around."

"Then for the sake of the old lady's affection, let's help one more time." Mrs. Qin smiled slightly, "If this marriage can be facilitated, it will be our merit, so please send a letter to Fang's house, Said that I like to eat the dishes made by the proprietress of the Spring Breeze Restaurant."

Nanny Wu thought about it carefully, and finally understood that the person her master really wanted to help was not the Fang family at all, but Miss A Tao?

"Yes." Nanny Wu nodded immediately, "This old servant will arrange it immediately."

At this moment, Ji Zhao is completely unaware of Mrs. Qin's secret help.

She helped to customize a romantic package for Mrs. Lu and his wife!

"A Tao, is this steak okay?" Shen Yao went to Lihua Village not far from Dingyuan County early in the morning to buy the freshest steak.

During the Dajing Dynasty, the common people were not allowed to slaughter cattle privately, but Lihuazhuang was a special existence.

Lihuazhuang is a large-scale village, and most of the people living in it are cattle breeders.

More importantly, in Lihuazhuang, cattle and sheep can be slaughtered and traded.

When Ji Zhao learned that there was such a place, he was so happy that he didn't jump up!

"It's perfect!" Ji Zhao immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised with a smile.

What she asked Shen Yao to buy was sirloin, which is the tender and lean meat cut from the back of an adult calf.

In more modern terms, all she had to do was filet mignon.

"Zhao Zhao, is the romantic set meal you mentioned only two pieces of steak?" Seeing her excited appearance, Shen Yao couldn't help asking.

"Of course it's more than that." Ji Zhao explained while marinating the steak, "In fact, the word romance has a very profound meaning! The romance I want to designate for the shopkeeper and his wife is an atmosphere, not just food."

"Anyway, you'll understand when the time comes!"

In addition to steak, Ji Zhao also specially prepared some low-alcohol wine.

Today's Dajing Dynasty wine is not common, so she bought such a small pot of wine through Qin Minghong's favor.

She tasted a little bit, but still felt that the taste was too sour.

Fortunately, she still has a magic weapon!

September 12th, approaching dusk.

Shopkeeper Lu led Mrs. Lu into the Spring Breeze Restaurant.

Mrs. Lu's face is very delicate, especially the pair of willow leaf eyebrows, with a unique natural beauty, I feel pity for that feeling.

In fact, Mrs. Lu was not very happy when she heard that her husband ordered a dinner worth twenty-seven taels of silver. After all, no one's silver fell from the sky!

She has worked hard with Shopkeeper Lu for twenty years to earn such a large family business, so she naturally understands how hard every penny is.

But she is a little woman who is habitually obedient to her husband, so even if she is dissatisfied in her heart, she will not show it on the surface, but she has made up her mind that after the dinner is over, she will definitely tell her relatives and friends, never Come to this black shop!

Mrs. Lu's real inner thoughts, Ji Zhao had no idea.

As far as her employer is concerned, shopkeeper Lu and his wife are the first guests at the Spring Breeze Restaurant, so she must of course welcome them warmly.

"You two, please come inside." Ji Zhao pushed open the door of the box with the signboard with the word "Spring", approached the door, stretched his arms, and greeted him warmly.

When shopkeeper Lu helped Mrs. Lu in, the eyes of both of them were filled with puzzlement.

"Guests wait for a moment, the dinner will be served immediately."

After Ji Zhao walked out, Mrs. Lu nervously clenched the sleeves of shopkeeper Lu, and asked softly, "Husband, are you sure there is nothing wrong with this restaurant?"

"Brother Qian, don't you believe him?" Shopkeeper Lu patted the back of her hand and comforted her with a smile, "Just wait, I also want to know what kind of food this Mrs. Shen will make?"

With shopkeeper Lu's comfort, Mrs. Lu also made up her mind.

"There seems to be a vague fragrance in this box?" Mrs. Lu began to look around the room with interest, and looked around carefully. She saw the long rectangular table not far away.

In the middle of the long table was placed a deep-mouthed Ru kiln vase, which was filled with a bouquet of delicate roses.

In addition to roses, there is also a strangely shaped candlestick on the long table.

The candlelight flickered gently, and Mrs. Lu's mood was completely relieved at this moment.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ji Zhao personally delivered an appetizer.

"this is?"

"Shopkeeper Lu, Mrs. Lu, this is a cold dish, you two might as well try it." Ji Zhao suggested with a smile.

Ji Zhao prepared a customized meal for the shopkeeper Lu and his wife, which is a common French steak meal in later generations.

It's a pity that the conditions are limited, so Ji Zhao can't provide many types of cold dishes. She specially prepared a sour and sweet boneless chicken feet. The iced boneless chicken feet tastes better.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Zhao served two filet mignon steaks that she cooked herself.

Shopkeeper Lu and his wife were at a loss at first. After all, the tableware that Ji Zhao brought up was unique knives and forks, not ordinary chopsticks.

After Ji Zhao's initial teaching, the two finally tasted the flavor of filet mignon.

Mrs. Lu always prefers beef, but now she tastes such a special steak, she is full of praise.

What made her very happy was that Ji Zhao also sent a delicate cake.

In short, Mrs. Lu had a happy smile after dinner, and shopkeeper Lu was naturally extremely satisfied!
