    Chapter 86 Lidong Hotpot Festival

    This time, Shao Jie did not come to Shen Shaoguang with pictures, but with people.

    Shen Shaoguang procrastinated, and when he was completely cured, it was already the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and it was almost the beginning of winter. The "Crab Contest" is still going on, and Shen Shaoguang has asked people to take out all the hot pots that were put away, and then ordered a new batch of hot pots.

    When hotpot became popular last year, Shao Jie didn't know Shen Shaoguang. He had only tried the "copycat version" of this stuff, and he thought it was good at the time. Now that he has eaten the "authentic" version, he is simply amazing.

    "This is the milk soup. I can eat this fish ball and meat slices. I can eat it all at once, and I won't get tired of it!" Shao Jie threw off his cheeks and took a hard meal. more funds. The pot tribute was given to the old man of the Shao family, and the old man of the Shao family agreed with his grandson's suggestion and added the money to Shen Ji.

    Shao Jie's fiery temperament was originally a choice between the two storefronts. At this time, he simply discussed with Shen Shaoguang to buy them both. Shen Shaoguang gritted his teeth: "Buy!"

    Shao Jie took another big mouthful of meat and dipped it in sesame sauce and garlic paste and stuffed it in his mouth, "That's right! We must sell this pot to Hudi so that the barbarians can see what is a big country in Shangbang and what is Zhongming? Ding Shi, what is delicious!"

    Shen Shaoguang: "..." This is to teach the Hu people that their hearts will not die, okay, let's work hard, boy!

    Shao Jie eats the pot and spends money quickly. The store is bought, and the manager is decorating it. He has previous experience in decorating the Qinrenfang store.

    He found a slave merchant and then bought people, and then brought people to teach Shen Shaoguang.

    Shao Jie suggested: "You can teach them for a while, and then distribute them to Chongxian and Qinren stores, and let the old man take them with them for a while, and they will understand what they didn't understand before."

    Take the old and bring the new, internship? Shao Langjun can do it!

    Shen Shaoguang agreed with Shao Jie's opinion, but wanted to play with a big one, "Shao Langjun, let's have a 'Li Dong Hot Pot Festival'?"

    "Can the hot pot still be saved?"

    Shao Jie has never experienced the era of artificial consumption festivals everywhere. He doesn't know that blankets can also be festivals, beer can also be festivals, and dog meat can also be festivals. The bleak days that should have been a single person have become a national shopping carnival.

    Shen Shaoguang explained to him that this was just a gimmick, "We chose to go to the East Market or the West Market on the day of the beginning of winter, set up a hot pot, and put it back to the stall. If you don't want to make a lot of money, it's just for the sake of being a fool. Familiar face, create a reputation."

    Shen Shaoguang used to draw a good cake: "Just think, as long as you eat our pot one day, will you think about it again the next year? More and more people are like this, and if you don't eat the pot together, it can really become a winter day. New customs, there may even be a folk saying 'Eat hot pot on the beginning of winter, don't eat hot pot with frozen ears'."

    Shao Jie: "..." I'm afraid that the guests can't make it, and the little lady can make it, and then write it on the poetry wall outside.

    Shao Jie did not overestimate Shen Shaoguang's integrity. Shen Shaoguang is thinking about how to promote Shen Ji and hotpot to the maximum extent, especially after seeing two of the newcomers brought by Shao Jie.

    These two, Xu Shilang and Zhang Erlang, are temple servants. They have practiced articulation for a long time with the lay monks, and they can also tell several stories of Buddhist scriptures.

    Shen Shaoguang asked them to come to two paragraphs on the spot, one is "Vimalakirti Sutra Teach the Scriptures", and the other is "Damu Ganlian Saves Mother in the Underworld", such traditional religious stories are actually very interesting.

    Among them, Xu Shilang was particularly articulate, and his speech was crackling, without stumbling in the middle, like a bean curd.

    Zhang Erlang is different. Although his articulation is average, he is very good at imitation.

    All are talents! Shen Shaoguang praised Shao Jie: "You can find such a character, it's really strong!"

    Shao Jie doesn't understand why, isn't it just two articulate running halls? They used to follow monks preaching scriptures in the temple, and they didn't know how to cook at all. They thought that they would always have to be articulate when running the hall, so they bought the two of them.

    Then Shen Shaoguang let Shao Jie understand what it means to "make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things".

    She first sorted out the names of the dishes in the restaurant, and compiled a section of her own shop's "reporting the names of dishes".

    Roasted chicken, roasted chicken, stewed chicken, white-cut chicken, deep-fried chicken, bawang chicken; sauce duck, roasted duck, braised duck, lees duck, rich fat duck... chicken, duck, fish, dry and fresh pastries, special dishes, the list is here All are listed on it.

    Let Xu Shilang give it a try. In the end, he specializes in art. Although can't remember the name of the dish for a while, Rao's words are already a little smooth.

    Obviously it was Xu Shilang who said it well, but Shao Jie praised Shen Shaoguang: "Little lady is very good! In the future, this section will be regarded as one of the signatures of the wine shop. If you have nothing to do, you can come here to 'add a dish' to the gentleman who came to eat. ."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled: "Smart heads are always similar!"

    The two business people bragging about each other laughed.

    Shao Jie asked Shen Shaoguang: "Zhang Erlang is in another store? I'm afraid his articulation is not as good as Xu Shilang's."

    Shen Shaoguang became more and more complacent: "Zhang Erlang is also a capable general, and Shanren has his own magic."

    Shen Shaoguang simply let him perform a sketch. Only his own performance was not enough. Shen Shaoguang took a person from the Tongrenfang store, and Xu Shilang played with him. The three performed "Shen Ji from the Wall".

    A stalk is a stalk that has been played badly in later generations - entering a restaurant, leaning on the wall to go in, leaning on the wall to come out.

    The diner played by Zhang Erlang was a greedy eater. A Dou, who played with him, played the friend who invited him to dinner, and Xu Shilang was Shen Ji's pal.

    Zhang Erlang was hungry after Adou said he invited him to dinner. He was so hungry that he leaned against the wall and entered Shenji. Then Xu Shilang started to introduce the dishes-because it was prepared for the "Lidong Hotpot Festival", Therefore, all kinds of shabu are mentioned.

    Introducing one, Zhang Erlang let the last one taste, and then the exaggerated and realistic eating.

    In this way, Xu Shilang kept introducing the dishes, and Zhang Erlang kept eating exaggeratedly, his mouth stretched out the elder to pick up the "fish-brained tofu", catching the "Bangya balls" full of bowls, and calling for a fishing net to fish for the meat...

    In the end, Zhang Erlang hiccupped and said sincerely, "If you want to say that cooking is delicious, you can take Shen Ji."

    His friend A Dou said, "You better support the wall."

    Shao Jie broke down with laughter when he watched the preview, imitating Zhang Erlang and said, "If you want to say that cooking is delicious, then take Shen Ji." He followed Adou again, "You better support the wall."

    Shao Jie said to Shen Shaoguang, "Hahaha, I think these two sentences will definitely be remembered by many Chang'an people for years."

    Shen Shaoguang said objectively: "Repetition is power. We play every year, and it's hard for them to remember it."

    Shao Jie: "...Hahahaha!"

    In addition to the soft advertisements of these entertainment programs, hard advertisements should also be prepared, such as the hot pot brand, the flag with Shen Ji's name written on it, such as the car body advertisement, as for the service staff, pots, soup base dishes, etc., Shen Shaoguang is not used very much. Worry about it, after all, both stores are in charge. As for greeting the city decree and finding a venue, that was Shao Jie's business again.

    Shao Jie is a reliable person, and Shen Ji set up a stall in an open space at the crossroads in the most prosperous central area of ​​Dongshi.

    The big wooden sign of the Lidong Hotpot Festival is standing upright, and the small pull flag of Shenji Wine House circles the venue. Several rows of food tables are laid out, with hot pots on them. The aroma of the old soup, the dozen or so cooks dressed in the same color clothes, waiting in full force, very similar to that.

    How could such a posture not be attractive? Gradually, he got on the guests, sat down and ordered the bottom of the pot and the shabu-shabu, but most of them were watching from the outside of Laqi.

    Then Xu Shilang came on stage, stood in the middle of the field, and first came to a paragraph of "reporting the name of the dish".

    This kind of art form is really suitable for both ancient and modern times.

    However, this is the appetizer, and the "small" in the back is the main dish.

    "...I'm arguing about it, and I won't go to ordinary restaurants and restaurants."

    "Not ordinary."

    "Is it the same?"

    "Hey, it's the Shen Ji that Tanhua Lang got off his horse to buy flower cakes on the Shangsi Festival."

    "Oh, that's really two different things."

    ...

    "Hey, Zhang Lang, why did you come in leaning against the wall? Are you uncomfortable? Why don't we have a drink another day?"

    "Stop procrastinating, I'm afraid I won't live another day..." Zhang Erlang said weakly, clutching his stomach.

    At this time, whether it was the diners or the onlookers outside, they couldn't help laughing.

    Xu Shilang came on stage: "It's getting cold, why don't the guests have a hot pot?"

    Adou looked at Zhang Erlang. Zhang Erlang: "Come."

    "Guests, would you like a milk soup bottom? The soup cooked with chicken, duck and hog bones is as white as cow's milk. Lang Jun smells it, and the smell drifts over."

    Adou looked at Zhang Erlang. Zhang Erlang: "Come."

    "Could you have a fish brain tofu? It's called tofu. It's not real tofu. It's made with fish meat. It's more tender than tofu."

    "Come!"

    Zhang Erlang's acting skills are very strong. He obviously has no real performances, but he is really good. He stretched his mouth to pick up the hot fish brain tofu, his mouth was burning, he couldn't swallow it, but he was reluctant to spit it out. .

    Some diners also shouted: "Here's a serving of this fish brain tofu!"

    The onlookers laughed even more.

    Xu Shilang is not only an actor, but also a real runner, and he really brought fish brain tofu.

    "Guests, would you like a piece of bouncy balls? Pork meat is fragrant and chewy, really bouncy." Xu Shilang returned to the performance.

    "Come!"

    Then Zhang Erlang began to "catch balls with a full bowl".

    Diners also join in the fun of the balls.

    Later, it became what Zhang Erlang ordered, what the guests ordered, and what the guests ordered, and Zhang Erlang also shouted, "Come here!"

    Fortunately, Zhang Erlang and Xu Shilang stayed in Shenji for the past few days, and they ate all kinds of hot pot dishes several times.

    Watching Zhang Erlang's exaggerated performance and this kind of "interaction" with real diners, the onlookers went crazy with joy. Besides, in such a cold day, the copper stove's fire was shining, and the strong fragrance wafted out, who could Can you stand it?

    Before the first play was over, the food table was already full.

    Zhang Erlang looked at Xu Shilang and A Dou and ended.

    "If you want to say that cooking is delicious, take Shen Ji." Zhang Erlang read his lines.

    A Dou: "You still support the wall!"

    Zhang Erlang really shyly left the field, leaning on the "wall".

    The onlookers were like watching a hundred dramas, shouting good children.

    Xu Shilang and Zhang Erlang rested for a while, and then started the second game. They still reported the name of the dish first, and then performed the sketch.

    Even the audience of the first show came back to watch it again.

    Shen Shaoguang and Shao Jie in a tea shop not far away from time to time lowered their heads to discuss something. Both of them were very satisfied with the stall today. Shao Jie smiled and said, "I really want to set up a stall every day, what a joy! Not a lot."

    "It's also saved from buying the storefront, right?"

    "you do not say!"

    Both profiteers laughed.

    They didn't know that a bigger surprise was yet to come - Princess Fuhui was here.

    This princess was only here to visit the East Market, to watch the lively here, let the attendant drive over, see the battle, and the flag, needless to say, it must be the idea of Shen Xiaofei.

    "Go buy two pots." The eldest princess said to the attendant.

    In this situation, Xu Shilang couldn't take it anymore. Manager Xu Kai received so many princesses back in the end. After seeing more princesses chatting and laughing with his little lady, he dared to smile with the attendant: "Please return to your lord,The store sells the meat in the pot, not the pot."

    The attendant is also a wonderful person: "Do you think your lord doesn't want to get out of the car and eat by yourself?"

    Diners and onlookers laughed.

    Princess Fuhui smiled unconvincingly in the car.

    It can be imagined how far the anecdote of the princess buying hot pot on the street will spread.Shao Jie looked at Shen Shaoguang, Shen Shaoguang's face was innocent, I really didn't arrange this childcare in advance!
