    Jiang Ci suddenly felt guilty for fear of being caught.

    She observed for a while, seeing familiar faces passing by from time to time, she turned around and left, and walked to a fast food restaurant with red and yellow signs two blocks away.

    The recipe of this fast food, Jiang Ci, looks very fresh. She has eaten it several times these days, especially when she is too tired to cook, she will just eat something from other shops.

    About five minutes later, Jiang Ci received her fast food.

    The soft bread is wrapped with crisp and tender pickles and cold and juicy tomatoes. One bite, the gravy in the meatloaf is squeezed out, and the taste of fresh vegetables and fruits penetrates into the bread slices, soft and salty.

    Take a sip of the sweet iced drink and feel the itching caused by the bubbles exploding in the mouth. It has a special flavor in the slightly cold autumn day.

    Jiang Ci squinted her eyes contentedly, and walked back to Feng Qianguan while eating fast food.

    It was past eight o'clock, and the young people at the door had already dispersed, and there were no other diners staying.Jiang Ci was about to take out the key when she suddenly heard a shout from behind.

    "boss!"

    After Ye Hongliang parked the car on the side of the road, he rushed out quickly.

    He had a very difficult day today. Qi Yan spent a whole day cleaning up the mess caused by the branch office, but he followed his boss with fear all day long, fearing that he might fall off the chain.

    Until just now, Qi Yan finally solved the problem of the branch office and remembered to eat.

    Ye Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief, recalling his boss's expression when he faced Feng Qianguan's Guantang Xiaolong two days ago, he drove the boss over.

    Unexpectedly, he saw Feng Qianguan was pitch black from a distance, and he was shocked.

    Ruined!

    He didn't make mistakes all day, and his performance was perfect, but he had to commit Tai Sui when Qi Yan was hungry!

    Well which restaurant is closed on Saturday night?

    Ye Hongliang was numb, but at the next moment, he saw a very beautiful girl walking over to open the door, and he almost didn't cry on the spot.

    When Ye Hongliang inquired about Feng Qianguan that day, he heard that the employees of the other company praised the appearance of the owner of the restaurant. Now seeing Jiang Ci's side face, he immediately acquiesced that this was the owner.

    "Boss, boss! You... what's going on tonight?"

    Ye Hongliang ran over in two or three steps and asked out of breath.

    The girl in front of her raised her finger and pointed to a piece of paper pasted on the door.

    Ye Hongliang looked along and saw the vacation notice.

    Ye Hongliang: "..."

    Ye Hongliang: "This..."

    "Yeah. I'm not prepared today, and I'm closed. I'm sorry." Jiang Ci smiled politely, "Please go back."

    "But..." Ye Hongliang thought of Qi Yan who hadn't eaten all day behind him, and said in a dying struggle, "Hey! I know! It's just... Look, you are here too. Let's discuss it and do itJust order something, let's fill our stomachs."

    Ye Hongliang hinted: "It's a big night, I'm also very embarrassed. You don't need to set the price in your restaurant, just follow the price of the private chef. You ask."

    While listening to Ye Hongliang's words, Jiang Ci pinched a fried potato stick from the paper bag in his hand and threw it into his mouth.

    This thing is crispy and soft when it's hot, full of starch and oily aroma, but it's not good when it's cold, she has to finish it quickly before the temperature dissipates.

    She could see what the people in front of her meant. In her previous life, there were quite a few people who asked her to cook a single table of dishes. The old gourmets who handed in posts to make appointments could line up from the east to the west of the city.

    Just then another man got out of the car.

    Men in suits and leather shoes, with wide shoulders and long legs trimmed by well-tailored suits, look extraordinarily handsome, handsome and luxurious.

    Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, and her intuition told her that the price of the list in front of her could not be lower than that of her previous life.

    Jiang Ci was moved.She is short of money.She has to recruit people, pay shop rent, and argue with suppliers who want to raise her prices every day.

    Ye Hongliang has practiced in the workplace for several years, and he is already a human being. When he saw Jiang Ci's eyes, he felt happy.

    But the next moment.

    Jiang Ci refused heartily: "No, I'm really not prepared today. There are no ready-made ingredients in the store, so you can eat elsewhere."

    Ye Hongliang was anxious: "We can talk about it! You were obviously moved just now!"

    Jiang Ci was very firm: "No, I can't smash my own brand."

    There is nothing new in her back kitchen except for the seafood used to make the soup. It is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, so it is really not easy for her to cook on the spot.

    Jiang Ci thought for a while and said, "Well, if you want to cook and eat my dishes, order them over for dinner tomorrow, and I will cook another seasonal dish tomorrow, and it won't be too late to come back to eat then."

    Ye Hongliang: "Right now, I'm hungry right now. I haven't had lunch or dinner yet."

    "I haven't eaten lunch yet!" Jiang Ci opened her eyes slightly, and said sincerely, "There is a store near here, and it can be picked up within five minutes after ordering, why don't you hurry up, it won't be good if you are hungry for a long time."

    When Ye Hongliang heard it, he was very curious: "Which one is it?"

    "This is the one, let's go quickly." Jiang Ci pointed to the packaging bag in his hand, and handed it over to Ye Hongliang, and said kindly, "Have some?"

    Ye Hongliang: "..."

    Ye Hongliang watched sadly as Jiang Ci opened the store door, and walked in by himself.He took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards Qi Yan: "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't find out clearly. I can only change stores today."

    Qi Yan: "It's okay."

    Qi Yan glanced at the shop from a distance, he still remembered the taste of filling soup dumplings that day.The cooking of the steamed buns is very delicate and exquisite. He has tasted many expensive delicacies, and it can be said that the steamed steamed buns with soup that time are not inferior to any one.

    Unexpectedly, Xiaolongbao was made in such a small shop.

    In the night, the girl's expression was beautiful and lively. After she entered the shop, she only turned on a dim chandelier, and walked into the back kitchen by herself, getting busy.

    Ye Hongliang: "...Boss?"

    "Yeah." Qi Yan withdrew his gaze, "Come tomorrow."

    ...

    Jiang Ci bought a batch of hairy crabs.

    Autumn is the season for eating crabs. At this time, the crab roe is plump and the crab paste is plump, which contains the unique delicious taste created by nature.

    Early in the morning, Jiang Ci got busy.She hired a temporary helper in the market to disassemble all the hairy crabs she bought, and used the crab meat to make stuffing for steamed buns, and collected crab roe and crab paste, and boiled a pot of bald butter extravagantly.

    First use crab shells to add ginger, green onions, cornus officinalis, cook slowly on low heat until you get a pot of clear yellow and clear crab oil;

    Pour a large pot of crab roe and crab paste into the crab oil, and watch the soft crab paste and golden crab roe mix with the crab oil under the stirring of the frying spoon...

    There is a slight "sizzling" sound of oil in the pot, and under the catalysis of temperature, the ultimate fresh fragrance is released.

    Oily, plump and charming.

    Jiang Ci took a deep breath in satisfaction, then grabbed the glass bottle and poured some Huadiao wine.After the aroma of Huadiao blended with the river freshness, she added a small amount of seasoning in turn.

    The recipe of this seasoning was developed by her when eating crabs in previous years. With the least dosage, it can properly remove fishy smell, enhance freshness, and add flavor, making this pot of bald butter truly delicious.

    Jiang Ci put down a bowl of plain noodles, took out a spoonful of hot bald butter from the pot, and poured it on the cooked plain noodles.The golden oil immediately flowed into the fine noodles.

    The plain noodles without any extra seasoning can use the most natural and pure noodle fragrance to set off the delicious taste of bald butter.

    It takes a lot of materials and effort to make bald butter. Once enough people are recruited, this thing cannot become a regular dish in the store.Jiang Ci just happened to be greedy, so he boiled a pot.

    It can be said that this batch of precious bald butter is a limited supply dish of Feng Qianguan this season.

    ...

    At five o'clock in the evening, Jiang Ci put a new menu under "Today's Menu".

    [Bald butter noodles: 250 yuan/bowl]

    The diners who had just walked into the store were stunned for a moment.

    "Damn, two hundred and five, I think I am a two hundred and five."

    "What is this? The street shop sells two hundred and fifty-one bowls. Why don't you grab it?"

    "My wallet can't withstand such a use!"

    "Boss Jiang, let me give you a discount. You see, I have been to Feng Qianguan several times. Do you have a membership card, VIP or something, can you open it?"

    The diners sighed and booed one after another.

    Jiang Ci was unmoved, and after hanging the sign, he calmly wrote a note and posted it next to the new dish.

    [Seasonal dishes, limited to 30 servings, while stocks last.】

    After Jiang Ci posted the note, she straightened her body and said considerately, "It's okay, I just bought a batch of hairy crabs today, and the cost is relatively high. After eating this batch, it will be gone. The prices of other dishes in the restaurant are still the same as before."

    As soon as she said this, the guest who wailed the loudest just now turned a corner.

    "Ah? Only today! Only thirty copies?"

    The customer who was begging for a membership card had already stood in front of the counter and took out the payment code: "I'll have one first."

    The guests quickly lined up and started looking for help:

    "Bald butter is inherently expensive. The ones that come out of those factories can be bought at such a high price. Boss Jiang boiled it himself and bought it at this price."

    "Yes, yes, hairy crabs are so expensive."

    "Is the fragrance I smell the same as bald butter? Boss Jiang, you must have covered the lid, I can't even smell it!"

    It was past five o'clock, Feng Qianguan had just opened, and there were actually not many diners in the store, but there were still a few people who couldn't resist ordering a new dish after seeing her hang up the sign.

    It is undoubtedly quite extravagant for most of the customers in the small shop to spend two hundred and five for a dinner.It's really two hundred and five if it's not worth it.

    However, no one can refuse a seasonal delicacy condensed with natural essence that can only be eaten at the moment in a special season.

    "Boss Jiang, I bought it because I believed in your craftsmanship. Don't let me down."

    "Yes, yes, I want to take it home to eat with my wife. If she thinks it's not worth it, I must be beaten to death."

    Jiang Ci smiled: "Don't worry."

    Jiang Ci was about to return to the back kitchen when there was a sudden noise at the door. Four or five burly men walked into the small shop chatting. Their voices were so loud that the average decibel in the small shop was raised immediately.

    Jiang Ci couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the man in the lead.

    The leader is a big man with colorful arms, and it was he who caused the trouble in the store a few days ago.Later, he was choked back by Uncle Zhang and other diners.

    This is to get back the game?

    Uncle Zhang, who had just finished ordering, also recognized the man in front of him: "It's you!"

    "Old man, have we met?" Lu Xingping was leading his brother into the store, he looked left and right at the gray-haired little old man, he was stunned for a while, his expression suddenly became complicated.

    Lu Xingping: "You taught me that day!"

    Uncle Zhang: "What lesson? I'm being reasonable!"

    When the buddies behind Lu Xingping heard the conversation, their ears perked up gossipingly: "Daping, what happened?"

    "It's nothing, nothing, just a misunderstanding." Lu Xingping said quickly.

    In the past two days, he received an order relying on his brother's relationship, and today he wanted to treat someone to thank him, so he couldn't be ashamed at this time.

    When Lu Xingping saw Jiang Ci, he was afraid that she would say something, so the 1.9-meter tall man grinned first, "Boss Jiang."

    "Hello." Jiang Ci smiled, "Are you bringing friends to dinner today?"

    "Yes." Lu Xingping hurriedly said, "Just pick the best one from your place, and I invite brothers to try something new."

    He had calculated that the most expensive item here at Jiang Ci's side was the small steamed dumplings filled with crab powder soup. Even if each person ordered one or two steamed dumplings, and then a serving of wonton noodles, his meal would only cost about a thousand yuan.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the brother next to him said "ah": "Daping, aren't you too proud?"

    "Really? You treat us to the best here?"

    "That must be." Lu Xingping felt the satisfaction in his pride, turned his head with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the wooden sign newly hung on the menu bar.

    Lu Xingping: "..."

    Depend on.
