The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

Zhao Dequan asked the waiter to put things away and greeted him familiarly: "Miss Lin, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I saw that your courtyard door was open, so I took it upon myself to come in first."

Lin Xi had just finished cleaning up and was covered in dust. She had just washed her hands and face. She took a handkerchief to wipe away the water and poured out the dirty water before walking over and asking Zhao Dequan to sit down at the table under the shed.

"Zhao Zhang, sit down first. It's very cold today. I'll light a stove."

"No, no, no, please sit down, Miss Lin. In fact, I took the initiative to come here this time because I do have some important matters." Zhao Dequan said.

Lin Xi saw it.

When Zhao Dequan came into the courtyard just now, his face was obviously worried and he forced a smile, as if he had encountered something troublesome in the past few days.

She didn't force it, she poured hot tea and pushed it in front of Zhao Dequan, sat down and said, "Mr. Zhao, please tell me if you have anything to say."

Zhao Dequan first spoke with congratulations and said: "Miss Lin, you haven't been to the county these days, so you probably don't know. The hot pot business in Keyun Tower is really amazing. It's full of people every day, and there's no free space left!"

To be honest, in just six or seven days, I have already made more money than in the past two months combined!"

Hot pot is a novelty that suddenly appeared. Lin Xi is not surprised to have such a profit.

Lin Xi smiled and said: "Same joy. The business is so good, there aren't enough waiters in the restaurant, right?"

Zhao Dequan had a proud look on his face and said: "Yes. In the past two days, I hired many guys to do the work. The distinguished guests on the second floor couldn't be ignored, and the first floor was full of people. The guys were really busy.

Hell, even my back hurts at the end of the day."

Lin Xi said seriously: "Master Zhao, have you ever rewarded the guys?"

As soon as the words came out, the two guys behind Zhao Dequan immediately became energetic.

Zhao Dequan was stunned, "Reward money?"

Lin Xi said: "Yes. Since the restaurant is so busy and the guys are very tired, if their monthly routines cannot keep up with the changes, how many guys will be willing to work over time? Giving them some silver rewards can appease them.

They, encourage them, so that the guys work more attentively, the guests are served comfortably, and the restaurant business can last longer."

The waiter behind Zhao Dequan nodded hurriedly.

They now know that this Miss Lin can barely be considered their boss, and these words speak to their hearts.

Zhao Dequan was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Miss Lin, you reminded me well, I will send it to them when I get back."

The waiter behind Zhao Dequan suddenly showed joy and looked at Lin Xi gratefully.

Zhao Dequan then took out a money bag from his arms and placed it in front of Lin Xi. He laughed and said: "Guys have to keep up with the reward money. Miss Lin, your money can't go either. This is last month's division of accounts. I

I brought it to you first."

Lin Xi glanced at it and said, "If I remember correctly, I should not get it until the end of the month. There are still about ten days."

Zhao Dequan said: "I have made money in the restaurant, how can I miss Miss Lin? Don't worry, Miss Lin, you deserve these, and there will be another one at the end of the month."

Lin Xi couldn't deny it, so he took it over and weighed it. There was a lot of broken silver in it, the weight seemed to be nearly a hundred taels, and some banknotes. It felt like there were several.

Lin Xi actually knew the monthly accounts of Keyun Tower. After excluding the cost, the net profit was about two to three thousand taels, and what she had in her hands was...

Lin Xi put it down and said: "Manager Zhao, we agreed that I will only take 20%. This seems like a lot, right?"

Zhao Dequan suddenly calmed down and asked the waiter behind him to go out and wait.

Seeing this, Lin Xi was sure that something had really happened.

Zhao Dequan smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Lin, you haven't been to the county these days, so you don't know. In the first few days, Keyunlou's hotpot was really famous in the county. People even came to eat from Linxian County, and the noble master paid frequent attention to it.

There aren’t even enough pots. I originally planned to go find your husband-in-law’s brother and ask him to make a few more pots. But he’s not at home.”

Lin Xi nodded, "Brother Wang Shou is indeed not here. I asked him to help and went elsewhere."

"Really? Miss Lin, don't let him fool you!" Zhao Dequan suddenly said angrily.

Lin Xi was surprised: "Where does this come from?"

Zhao Dequan became angry when he thought about it and said, "Miss Lin, don't you know? Just yesterday, hot pot appeared in Fu Lai Lou!"

Lin Xi was startled.

Zhao Dequan gritted his teeth and said, "I sent someone to take a look. The pots they use are the same as ours, and the ingredients are the same. Wang Yaozu must have sent the cook from his restaurant to pretend to be a guest to eat at Keyunlou, and figured out the approximate ratio.

, I think it was probably because I was so busy in those days that I didn’t recognize them.”

"But the people I sent also said that the taste is still different. Fortunately, in order to keep it secret, I only let Lao Zhao make the ingredients alone, and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching the kitchen, so the recipe was not leaked."

"But it's useless! Although the food at Keyunlou is a hundred times better, the price at Fulailou is a whole lot lower than ours! Many customers go to their Fulailou for cheap. Today our customers at Keyunlou

Nearly half is missing!"

After hearing this, Lin Xi frowned and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you suspect that Wang Shou cooked the pot for his uncle Wang Yaozu?"

"In my opinion, he was the one who told the old guy the approximate recipe of the base! Otherwise, many of the condiments are not in the soup and are only used to enhance the flavor. How did the old guy's cook know that? I know the chef at Fulai Lou

, I don’t have that ability! But Wang Shouchang came to your house, and he must have eaten at your place, right?" Zhao Dequan said.

Lin Xi frowned even more and said: "It can't be Wang Shou. First, I have never cooked hot pot in front of him; second, on the day I went to Keyun Tower for the last time, Wang Shou left on my behalf.

He had spent most of his time being a guest at Ke Yunlou and had no time to help Wang Yaozu and Zhao. Please be careful with your words and don't make any mistakes."

Zhao Dequan was stunned and said: "But that pot is very special. If we didn't make hot pot at the same time, how could we launch hot pot at the same time? Who else could it be but Wang Shou?"

"It should be Wang Yaozu who was keeping an eye on Ke Yun Tower. He found out that Wang Shou had contact with us, so he sent people to keep an eye on Wang Shou. This has nothing to do with Wang Shou." Lin Xi insisted.

Zhao Dequan thought about it and thought it was possible, but he still doubted Wang Shou.

Seeing Lin Xi defending Wang Shou, Zhao Dequan swallowed his words and said instead: "Miss Lin, no matter what, Fulai Building has hot pot, what should we do now? Have you come up with any new dishes these days?"

Lin Xi knows a lot of dishes that are not available in this era, but——

She said: "Mr. Zhao, I promised you that I would only provide two new dishes to Keyunlou every month. In the past two months, I have provided more than four or five dishes, right?"
