“Come, let’s have a taste of this squirrel fish.” After the Grand Empress Dowager finished speaking, she asked Nanny Liu to give her a small piece.
The Grand Empress Dowager tried to put it in her mouth and said, “How should I put it?
“The first thing I tasted was the crispy fragrance of the fish.
“Sour, then sweet, and finally salty.
“When I chewed it thoroughly, the three flavors combined, and there was a salty and fragrant aftertaste in my mouth.
“Moreover, the ingredients and heat control are excellent. It’s a delicacy.”
When the Emperor heard the Grand Empress Dowager’s high evaluation, he immediately picked up a piece and started eating. He quickly nodded in satisfaction. “It’s lovely. It’s enough for the grand banquet.”
At the same time, Gu Wanning also took a bite and nodded. “It’s tasty. Later, I’ll have to trouble my cousin-in-law to teach this dish to the royal chef.”
“No problem. There’s still a squirrel fish in the kitchen. I can teach them twice, and there shouldn’t be any problems.”
“The squirrel fish you are talking about is a species from the south, correct?” The Emperor asked.
“Yes, squirrel fish can be fished from spring to autumn. It’s more convenient than sea fish.
“However, this dish can also be made with carp, but the taste will be a little off.”
“It’s much more convenient since this kind of fish is relatively common in the south.”
After the meal, the Emperor rewarded Zhou Ying with four horses, a new tribute material, and two pounds of Da Hong Pao tea.
After resting for a while, Zhou Ying asked Gu Wanning to find the royal chef, and she taught him in detail. She also asked him to make detailed notes.
After he was done, Zhou Ying let him taste it and said, “Remember this taste.” “If you are unsure of anything, you can come to my residence to find me.” “Thank you, Madam Gu. I will definitely pay you a visit.” After the royal chef finished speaking, he picked up a piece and tasted it carefully.
As he ate, he nodded repeatedly. Although this dish differed from their traditional cooking method, it was more delicious and easier to arouse people’s appetite.
No wonder the business of Grassland Taste Restaurant has always been so popular.
Zhou Ying heaved a sigh of relief after leaving the palace with her rewards.
At the same time, she was also very happy. It seemed like she had to teach her restaurant’s chef the cooking method for squirrel fish as soon as possible.
She believed that once the banquet ended, she would definitely be able to take the opportunity to make a fortune by introducing the squirrel fish to the public.
Right, she also had to prepare the membership card as soon as possible.
After returning home, she began to design the membership card. After designing it, she stamped it on a thick copper card that was used to make business cards.
There were two types of cards, gold and silver.
Silver cards could get a 10% discount, and gold cards could get a 20% discount.
There was also a black Supreme Card. She only printed five of them—a 50% discount card.
One for Mingyu, one for the Elderly Consort An, and another for the Emperor. She planned to keep the remaining two for Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengxi, but she would give them to them after marriage.
After printing them, Zhou Ying called Niu Fugui over and said, “This is the restaurant’s membership card.
“If someone spends a thousand taels of silver, give them the silver card, and they can get a 10% discount in the future.
“The gold card will be given to whoever spends 10,000 taels of silver. In the future, the card could be used for an 80% discount.
“This card can be used in all of our three restaurants.”
Niu Fugui only hesitated momentarily before he understood the meaning of these cards. One was to stimulate their customers to spend money, and the other was to bind them to their restaurants.
“Understood.” He nodded.
“Remember, we must be strict and let these cards become a form of identity.
“In addition, there were five black cards, which were 50% off cards. Black cards had priority and could not be lent out.
“Currently, I only plan to send out three. One is for Princess Mingyu, one is for the Emperor, and the last is for Elderly Consort An..”
