On the first day of the Lunar New Year, almost every temple in Capital City was full of pilgrims, all of whom came devoutly to offer the first stick of incense to Buddha in the New Year.

Even the Grand Buddhist Temple outside of Capital City is no exception, if not more.

Because of the Grand Buddhist Temple, there is an eminent monk named Master Ming Hai!

Chen Nianguan didn't know why Master Ming Hai knew that there were so many people queuing up to see him on New Year's Day, and asked Liu Feng to tell him that he must go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to meet him that day, but Master must have his intentions.So I decided to take a trip no matter what.

It's just that the air outside is chilly, but the bed is very warm, and it's already high in the sun and still clinging to someone's arms, unwilling to move, listening to the noise of Liu Feng and others getting up outside, feeling lazy.

"Husband!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Erlang, who was also lazy, held Wen Yu in his arms and didn't want to move.

"Today I'm going to Grand Buddhist Temple to meet Master Ming Hai. Do you want to go with me to meet him?" Chen Nianguan asked, "By the way, I would like to worship the Buddha, and bless you this year's Chunwei High School champion!"

Zhang Erlang was taken aback, and then shook his wife's shoulder, "Since my lady is looking forward to my high school champion, we can postpone the reminiscence of old friends. Zeng Si and I have to think carefully about the poem posts to be submitted after the New Year's Eve, so we won't make it together."This is hilarious."

Before Chunwei, many applicants who came to Beijing to take the exam, one for the sake of fame, and the other for taking refuge in the court and the middle school to learn from the great Confucians, would carefully ponder one or two poems and submit poem posts.ranking.

"Do you still have to study on the first day of the new year?" Chen Nianguan was simply surprised.

Zeng Si, who was innocently dragged to the study to read: I'm not, I don't want to.

"Wan Wan, be careful when you go out! Don't hurt yourself!"

"Don't worry, Yulang, I'll go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to ask for a peace amulet for you, and let the Buddha bless you to be the champion in Chunwei." Chen Nianwan smiled.

"What about me? What about me?" Zeng Si, who originally wanted to go out to play in Capital City by himself, but was arrested and wanted to study, hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll ask you for one too, and by the way, let the Buddha bless you to be a Jinshi in Chunwei!"

whispering sound!My husband wants to be the champion, and I want to be a Jinshi for myself!

Zeng Si rolled his eyes, watched Chen Nianguan and his party go out, and then looked at Zhang Erlang: "Zhang Er, is it really necessary?"

He had to go back to Meilu Academy to study hard on the sixth day of the new year, and he had been reading every day before the New Year's Eve. Now that the new year is beginning, he can't relax for a few days.

"Naturally it is necessary." Zhang Erlang replied, "There are so many scholars in the world, and the ten-year cold window has survived, and there is only a little more than one month left before the Spring Festival. In this short period of time, I will write poetry and review books.I'm afraid it's too late."

Zeng Si was silent.

"Zeng Si, could it be that you have already written a poem?"

"Tsk." Zeng Si sat back in front of the desk, "Even if it's done, I don't know which adult to vote for."

"How about Mr. Fan from Fan Shan's family?"

"That's right, but it's okay to invest in one more family." Zeng Sidao seemed to think of something, "Speaking of Mr. Fan, when you were injured, I visited once and met Chen San.”

"Oh?"

Master Fan, Fan Fei, has just been promoted to Minister of Rites this year, just as Master Fan Shan wished. Compared with his father who took up the position of minister at the age of forty-five, Master Fan was promoted to this position at the age of thirty, it can be said that the student surpasses the master, It is not in vain that Master Fan Shan saw that the eldest son was promising, so he retreated bravely to pave the way for him. It is said that many people in the court also favored the eldest son Fan as the next minister of the Ministry of Rites.

As Fan Shanzhang's disciple, he would naturally be regarded as someone from the same camp as Fan Fei, and Fan Shanchang has been cultivating scholars in Funing County for a long time, so it cannot be said that he is not trying to build momentum for his own son.

Because the candidates from Qingyun Academy will become the help of Fan Shilang when they become officials in the future, but in turn, they can also get the support of the Fan family.

Therefore, when Zeng Si and Chen San arrived at Fan's house, they received a welcome from Fan Shilang.

During the exchange of pleasantries, knowing that Chen San was the second wife of the Chen family who rescued his son, Fan Shilang couldn't help talking about the situation at the beginning, and expressed his gratitude to Chen San again. Zeng Si, who was listening on the side, heard,It turned out that after Chen Ming saved his life, Master Fan Shan not only exempted Shu Xiu from enrolling Chen San, but also gave the Chen family a 100 taels of gratitude.

"One hundred taels?" Zhang Yulang was stunned.

"Yes, it seems that Chen San is hearing this for the first time, and his face turns black."

Why Chen Nianguan's mother and daughter were kicked out of the Chen family? Zhang Erlang had heard about it, but he didn't know. It turned out that when the Chen family made excuses to drive Wan Wan's mother and daughter out of the house, there was still such a big secret behind it.a motive.

One hundred taels.

At that time, if Wan Wan and his mother-in-law had even half of the money, they would not have to live so hard.

The dead father-in-law exchanged his life for money, but Wan Wan and the others couldn't get more than a penny, and they were forced to almost lose their lives.

"Does Chen San know about this?"

"I guess I don't know." Zeng Si shook his head recalling Chen Nianjian's expression at that time.

Zhang Erlang recalled that the Chen family didn't support Chen Nianjian's study at the beginning, so he had to rely on copying books to make money. Perhaps, the Chen family would also hide this matter from Chen Nianjian.

Chen Nianjian brought his father to Xianggui Street and didn't see any signs of falling out, so Chen Feng didn't know about the one hundred taels?

Chen Ming is the third roommate of the Chen family. After his accident, it should be the father of the Chen family and the eldest son of the Chen family who came forward to deal with everything. Did the father of the Chen family and Chen Dalang steal the one hundred taels?

"Don't tell anyone about this." Zhang Erlang felt a surge of anger in his heart, but he suppressed it.

With Wanwan's ability now, a mere one hundred taels is nothing, this matter should be overturned, he doesn't want Wan Wan to be sad about such things again, if he wants to settle old scores, it is his husband who should take the lead.

"Don't worry, my mouth is tight!" Zeng Si nodded in understanding.

So the two of them, ah, no, after Chen Nianjian came over, the three of them discussed going to Fan's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Fan Shilang.

But today, on the first day of the new year, people in Capital City were afraid that they would rush to temples to offer incense and pray for blessings, so they changed it to the third day.

At the foot of the Grand Buddhist Temple, there are many carriages and grooms with their family crests parked densely.

Chen Nianguan and the others finally found a space to park the carriage, and after giving money to the steward who was in charge of the carriage, they took Xiao You Si Ya and Liu Feng to climb the mountain.

Everyone has been to the Grand Buddhist Temple last time, so there are not many people who come to the Grand Buddhist Temple to pray with Chen Nianguan today, and they all clamor to take advantage of the rare opportunity to go to other temples in the inner city and take a look.vision.

So Chen Nianguan came to protect her Xiao You and Si Ya.

As for Liu Feng, hey, since he got so many benefits from the Grand Buddhist Temple, he naturally wants to follow.

Master Ming Hai said that he would give his cousin a generous gift, maybe he would also give one to him?

Liu Feng thought happily in his heart secretly.

Usually, there are many pilgrims who come to the Grand Buddhist Temple on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. Now, on the first day of the new year, more people come to offer incense. Fortunately, the stone steps on the mountain road to the Grand Buddhist Temple are spacious along the way, and they come at the right time.Late, to avoid the most crowded moment.

Chen Nianguan and his group noticed that there were people like them who climbed up slowly by themselves, and some porters carried the pilgrims in sedan chairs all the way to the gate of the temple.There will be guards clearing the way for ordinary people to make way.

Chen Nianguan and his group walked and stopped, taking more time than usual to reach the Grand Buddhist Temple.

After entering the gate of the temple, saw people leaning on each other one after another, making a lot of noise. How can there be the quietness in the temple?

And in the huge open space in front of the temple, there is also a place where vegetarian food is distributed for free. Those who climbed the mountain hard, and those who finished worshiping the Buddha and offered incense, spontaneously went to several stalls to get these food.

Chen Nianguan became curious, so he went to a place to have a look, only to find a sign of auspicious residence erected in front of the stall.

After asking people, found out that during festivals, Grand Buddhist Temple will allow restaurants in Capital City to set up vegetarian offerings here, called Safu, to provide convenience for pilgrims, and to promote the temple's reputation.

There are also many Buddhist temples that provide free meals and snacks to the outside world. Pilgrims who come to worship Buddha will naturally not eat vegetarian meals for nothing. After worshiping Buddha, they will naturally add a few extra money for sesame oil.

This kind of vegetarian food, which can not only gain fame but also gather popularity, has always been rushed to do by famous restaurants in Capital City, especially during the New Year’s Eve, getting permission to worship vegetarian food in Buddhist temples is very helpful to enhance the reputation of your own restaurantUseful.

However, the number of vegetarians allowed in each Buddhist temple is limited. For this qualification, each restaurant has its own special skills to win the quota. As a result, the more famous Buddhist temples are, the more precious the quota for vegetarians is, even hard to find.

"Ah!"

Chen Nianguan understands, isn't this just taking advantage of the New Year's Eve to promote his own restaurant in a place with the busiest traffic?

She didn't know that there was another trick, which was really a mistake.

Looking around, saw that in addition to Jixiangju, there were also stalls in Lingyun Pavilion. When entered the main hall, there were two or three stalls distributing vegetarian food on the spacious corridor, and at the entrance of the main hall, there was actually a recruiter from Yufenglou.

Hey, among the top three restaurants in Capital City, there is the second best offering vegetarian food at the Grand Buddhist Temple.

It seems that the reputation of the Grand Buddhist Temple is not small!

"Then why is Yueman Building missing?"

It is said that the number one restaurant in Capital City will not miss this good opportunity, right?

"Cousin, I have inquired all about it. The Yueman Building didn't compete for the place of enshrining in the Grand Buddhist Temple today, but went to the big temple in the inner city of Capital City," Liu Feng said.Temple has accumulated good contacts, and after asking the novice in the temple, he explained to his cousin, "But they plan to come to Grand Buddhist Temple to spread blessings on the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival."

Year fifteen?

I missed the first day of the new year, but can't miss the fifteenth day of the new year!

The 15th day of the new year happened to be the first day of their Chenjia Restaurant's opening. If they were at the Grand Buddhist Temple on that day, wouldn't they be able to attract the diners who came out to watch the lanterns that night?

Chen Nianguan decided that no matter what generous gifts Master Ming Hai gave her, she only wanted to be eligible to serve vegetarian food at the Grand Buddhist Temple on the 15th year.

I made up my mind and wanted to see Master Ming Hai, but was told that Master Ming Hai's schedule is full today, and those who do not have an appointment will not be able to meet.

Chen Nianguan was frustrated, since the master is not free today, why bother asking himself to come here?

Just feeling melancholy, seeing the young master next to Master Ming Hai hurried over in a hurry.

"My heart!" Liu Feng greeted Xin with a smile.

"Liu Xiaolang-jun!" Xin Ye Hanhan smiled at Liu Feng, then looked at Chen Nianguan and made a bow: "Chen Benefactor."

"Be careful, little master." Chen Nianguan hurriedly returned the salute.

Liao Xin handed a small box to Chen Nianguan: "Master didn't expect it to be so busy today, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain Chen benefactor, so he specially sent me to give this to Chen benefactor."

Chen Nianguan opened the wooden box and found it was a wooden sign.

"this is?"

"This is the certificate for placing vegetarian offerings at our Grand Buddhist Temple on the 15th day of the new year." Master Liao Xin explained, "At that time, the brothers in the temple will use this wooden sign to arrange the location of vegetarian meals for you."

When Chen Nianguan heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. She was just about to talk to Master Ming Hai about this, and asked for a quota. She didn't expect that this was the generous gift that Master Ming Hai gave her?

It seems that the usual sugar-coated shells will still work!

Seeing the grand occasion of the vegetarian restaurant at the entrance of the temple with his own eyes, Liu Feng was also excited for a while, and then scratched his head after laughing, "Cousin, cousin, will the shop still open on the fifteenth day of our new year?"

"Open, why not open?"

"But if you want to come to the Grand Buddhist Temple, who will host the opening of the restaurant?"

That's right, Chen Nianguan is the biggest boss, so he can't preside over the overall situation in the restaurant?

"Why are you panicking? We call it a two-pronged approach." Now that there are enough people, Chen Nianguan is not afraid to assign a group of people to the Grand Buddhist Temple to make this vegetarian offering.

Holding the voucher in his hand, Chen Nianguan understood why Master Ming Hai told him to come here on the first day of junior high school.

I want her to see these vegetarian offerings with her own eyes, and see how they make them, so that she can draw a gourd and follow them.

This Master Ming Hai was really kind to him.

Chen Nianguan handed the box to Xiao You and asked him to put it away. He decided to come here, first to see what kind of vegetarian offerings they offer, and then go to the temple to pray to Buddha and donate sesame oil when there are fewer pilgrims., Seek peace talisman.

So Chen Nianguan took Liu Feng and others to visit every vegetarian stall, and found that there were cakes that were directly offered, some that were made on the spot, and some that brought their own signature dishes from the store.Eighteen kinds of martial arts.

As Chen Nianguan watched, he was already thinking about what to eat and how to arrange for the vegetarian meals offered by the Chen Family Restaurant.

Then he was bumped by Liu Feng on the arm.

"Little cousin?"

"Look, cousin, isn't that little sister Han?"

Chen Nianguan followed Liu Feng's line of sight and looked over, coincidentally, it really is!

It looked like a whole family came to offer incense. Just after they came out of the main hall, there was still a group of guards around them. Sister Han came out, and there was a lady who seemed to be the mother of Sister Han.There are two older sons.

Chen Nianguan thought for a moment, then walked towards them with Liu Feng.

Then Han Jinqian was being looked around by Mrs. Han holding hands, and when she saw Chen Nianguan, she cried out with joy: "Sister Chen, it's Sister Chen!"

"Sister Xiaoqian." Chen Nianguan greeted Han Jinqian with a smile.

Han Jinjiao was also surprised that today was such a coincidence that he met Chen Nianguan again.

"Aniang, Aniang, she is that Sister Chen, who treated me to a lot of delicious Sister Chen when I was on the boat."

Before Chen Nianguan introduced himself, Han Jinqian yelled at her parents.

"Yes, Auntie, this is Mrs. Chen!" Han Jinfei also hurriedly introduced, glanced at Liu Feng behind him, before hesitating whether to introduce, Han Jinqian pointed at Liu Feng earlier and smiled: "Auntie, he is Liu FengBrother Feng!"

"Hey!" Liu Feng grinned, glanced at Han Eldest Young Lady, then quickly looked away, followed Chen Nianguan to greet Mrs. Han.

"Mrs. Han?????"

Mrs. Han should have heard the two daughters talk about the incident on the passenger ship, and at this time, she also expressed her gratitude to Chen Nianguan and others for taking care of her little daughter at that time.

"Where is it, it's just a matter of raising your hand." Chen Nianguan smiled politely.

Mrs. Han's husband, Mr. Han, is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, equivalent to the mayor of Capital City. He is a big official!

"Sister Chen, are you planning to open a restaurant in Capital City?"

He couldn't forget the delicacies he had eaten on the boat. Han Jinqian asked immediately after hearing Han Jinjuan mention that Chen Nianguan would open a restaurant, "Where is it? When can I go to the banquet?"

"It's on Suchuan Road." Han Jinjiao reminded her sister, and then looked at Chen Nianguan: "I wonder if Mrs. Chen has set a date for the opening of the restaurant?"

Chen Nianguan was surprised.

On the boat, Han Jinjiao had never interacted with them. Even when she met Yang Jishan by chance last time, she just greeted them in a general way. She thought she would not pay much attention to them if she mentioned them casually, but she never thought about it.Han Jinjia actually told his little sister about opening a restaurant.

"It's already been decided. It will be on the fifteenth day of the new year, the Lantern Festival. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us at that time." Chen Nianguan said with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Chen, let's go to your restaurant for dinner that day." Han Jinqian said, looking up at his mother: "Auntie, mother, let's eat at Sister Chen's restaurant on Lantern Festival night. Sister Chen cooks it."Everything is delicious."

"Delicious is delicious, but you can't eat it with your bare hands in public." Mr. Han beside him also heard how Chen Nianguan and others ate seafood on a passenger ship, so he said with a smile, "Ms. Chen's restaurant is probably so deviant, right?"

"Heng'er!" Mrs. Han called her own boss, and said to Chen Nianwan with a smile, "Miss Chen, don't blame her!"

"Where is it, Mr. Han has misunderstood something." Chen Nianguan waved his hands again and again, "Actually, to tell Mrs. Han, on the day of Shangyuan Festival, the Chen Family Restaurant will not only open, but will also worship the prime minister in this Great Buddha Temple."Vegetarian, if you are worried about the food in our restaurant, you can try it at our vegetarian stall that day."

"Your Chen Family Restaurant has obtained the qualification to offer vegetarian food in the Grand Buddhist Temple before it opened?"

Not only Madam Han was stunned, but Han Jinjiao was also surprised.

You know, the restaurants that can go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to offer vegetarian meals have all made their own reputations in Capital City, and the Grand Buddhist Temple is qualified to be judged by the very tricky chef Ming Hai., is unable to win this enshrinement qualification.

"Yes, when Master Ming Hai left Beijing a year ago, I was fortunate to be rescued by him. At that time, Master Ming Hai liked the food I cooked very much. Also, you know about Yueman Building? His family's fish curd and Chen's rice noodles, are notIt's the recipe I got from me!" Chen Nianguan said with a smile, "Master Minghai is also the most honored guest of our Chen Family Restaurant, then, maybe you can meet the master who helps our Chen Family Restaurant by chance!"

"Sister Chen, I also like your cooking very much." Han Jinqian hurriedly stated, tugging at her mother's cuff: "Mother, mother!"

"Okay, on the day of Shangyuan Festival, let's go and have a look."

"well."

Chen Nianguan waved goodbye to the Han family, then turned around with Liu Feng and went to line up to worship the Buddha in the main hall.

As the Han family went down the mountain, they discussed: "Ji'er, why haven't I heard that this Mrs. Chen is acquainted with Master Ming Hai?"

"I never heard of it at that time." Han Jinzhen shook his head and looked at his sister, "Have you heard her mention it?"

Han Jinqian shook her head: "Mother, Sister Chen just invited me to eat delicious Hai Cuo, how could she talk so much?"

Mrs. Han thinks about it, too.

"I'm afraid it's not fake." Mr. Han didn't quite believe it.

"Not everyone is qualified to do vegetarian offerings at the Grand Buddhist Temple. Since she can say such things, she must have something to rely on. Moreover, Suchuan Road..." As Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin, Mrs. Han naturally knowsAs for the matter in Spring Breeze at the original location, "We were just going to visit the lanterns that day. If we have time, we can go and have a look. It's not impossible."

"Aniang, Aniang, that's great. Sister Chen's cooking is really delicious. You will definitely like it, Aniang." Han Jinqian grinned, seeing the older sister in front of her glanced back at herself, and stuck out her tongue.

Han Jinjiao snorted coldly and turned around.

Since it is a delicacy that Master Ming Hai also likes to eat, how can she stop trying it?

So what if they want to eat with bare hands, they can call a private room.

Han Jinjiao made up his mind, he must have a good time then!

Besides, Chen Nianguan and his party went down the mountain after they donated the sesame oil money and got the three peace charms.

Back on Xianggui Street, immediately called Liu Yun and the six cooks over, who were out for fun, and told them that they would go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to offer vegetarian food during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the new year.

Tian Daxiao and his wife, who were in the industry, and the two apprentices in the original Spring Breeze were all shocked, and when Liu Yun and others heard about the importance of this matter, they were also very pleasantly surprised.

"Cousin, then, then our Chen Family Restaurant..."

"Hmm, maybe it can become an instant hit!"

Everyone cheered, and then began to plan how to allocate the staff on the opening day.

"On the opening day, the restaurant must definitely prepare enough manpower, so Liu Yun will be in charge of the back kitchen, and you all stay in the restaurant to help."

Chen Nianguan decided.

There is Shi Cunqi in the restaurant, and Cang Monan is there to help. As long as the back kitchen is not messed up, her presence or absence doesn't matter much. On the contrary, it is the vegetarian restaurant at the Grand Buddhist Temple, which needs to be publicizedThe effect of Chen's restaurant is none other than myself.

"As for the vegetarian restaurant at the Grand Buddhist Temple, I, Liu Feng, and Xiao You and Si Ya are enough."

"Cousin/sister, we can go over and help." Liu Qing and Liu He heard about this and rushed over to join in the fun.

"Then cousin, what are you going to do, Su Zhai?" Liu Yun asked.

"Naturally, we use the signature small steamer cakes of our Chenjia Pho shop!" Chen Nianguan said with almond eyes.

No, in the capital city, they are the first ones who serve dim sum for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Naturally, they have to take advantage of this best opportunity to launch their most innovative delicacies.

"Of course, there are also some new foods. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it."

In fourteen days, there is plenty of time to think about it.

"Think about it, if it's a new food, you have to teach us!"

"That's right, Master Chen!"

Following Liu Yun's cooking training these days, everyone has learned to cook a lot of new foods, and their cooking skills have also improved by leaps and bounds. Knowing that Liu Yun is the only disciple of Chen Dong's family, everyone is now only Chen Nianguan.

"Don't worry, what's served in Su Zhai will definitely be served in the restaurant." Chen Nianguan patted his chest, expressing that he would definitely teach everyone, "If they like it at the Grand Buddhist Temple, but they don't like it in the restaurant, weIsn’t Su Zhai worshiped in vain?”

Everyone laughed and dispersed.

When Chen Nianguan entered the west wing, he saw that the three Juren masters were all there, so he distributed the requested talismans to them one by one.

Chen Nianjian and his son had originally planned to leave the city at noon today, but later Chen Nianjian went to the study and saw Zhang Erlang and Zeng Si sitting together discussing, so they delayed until now, then Chen Feng saw that his son had two companionsBut I can't bear to live on Xianggui Street.

After all, I once did such an excessive thing to Chen Nianguan, and I knew I was ashamed, so I left early and went back to the farmer's house I rented.

"If the third brother is willing, it's okay for you to live here during the period when the Imperial College starts school."

When staying overnight, Chen Feng slept in the Datong bunk with Grandpa Duan and the others, while Chen Nianjian shared a room with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was naturally very willing that the master Jingkui would stay and guide her studies, and Zeng Si entered school in the same sixth day as Chen Nianjian, and she also hoped to discuss studies with the supervisors of the Imperial College during this period.

Zhang Erlang also expressed his welcome, so Chen Nianjian stayed here, and went to inform his father with the boy.

Later, Zhang Erlang learned about the important event that Chen Nianguan would go to the Grand Buddhist Temple to offer vegetarian food on the fifteenth day of the new year.

"Lantern Festival, isn't it the day when the restaurant opens?"

Wan Wan will never be in two parts, right?

"Don't worry, I've already figured out how to arrange it. It should be fine."

The restaurant is open, and vegetarian food is offered.

"Then, lady, have you thought about making a vegetarian meal?"

"Hmm, thinking, thinking."

The traditional food of the Lantern Festival is glutinous rice balls, do you want some fried Lantern Festival?

It's not impossible.

But on that day, there would definitely be many restaurants serving ordinary food such as glutinous rice balls and dumplings, so she had to make something a little more special.

In addition, Shangyuan Festival is also a good time for many young ladies to meet or date their husbands. It is also possible to start with this group of diners!

Chen Nianguan grabbed a small notebook and wrote some food with charcoal pencils, and laughed.

Zhang Erlang just walked into the study room, and he couldn't help walking over when he heard his wife's strange voice, "Wan Wan?"

"Huh?" Chen Nianguan looked back at his husband, the smug smile on his face hadn't faded.

"What laughing?"

"Hmm, I thought of a few meals that can be provided at Shangyuan Festival Vegetarian, so I'm happy."

Zhang Erlang held Chen Nianguan's hand and smiled, "Then what is Wan Wan planning to do?"

"When I make it, husband, you will know."

Vegetarian offerings are offered to vegetarians, so it is natural that vegetarian dishes will be presented at the Grand Buddhist Temple.

Therefore, when considering the free distribution of food with pilgrims on that day, meat dishes cannot be used.

But now it’s winter, and if you want to use vegetarian food, the ingredients you can use are actually very limited. Considering eating out, it’s better to be convenient and fast. After going through the dim sum made before, Chen Nianguan decided to only chooseThree types: Carrot Cake, Jiaozai and Tangbudui.

The reason for making radish cake is naturally that radish is in season. Because of the climate, the radish produced in Capital City ????? is much sweeter than the radish in Funing County. It is also a rare vegetarian food, so it is suitable for making pastries.

The radish cake originally launched in the restaurant is made with bacon cubes, dried shrimps, and seasoned with scallop sauce or fish sauce. Some use shredded radish directly, and some make radish into paste with flour. In addition to steamingThere are five or six kinds of radish cakes, as well as fried radish cakes.

But since it is a vegetarian, there is no need to consider all meat, and the simplest method is directly used.

Remove the skin of the radish, then cut it into thin strips, sprinkle with salt, marinate for a quarter of an hour, then pour off the pickled radish water,

Take an appropriate amount of sticky rice flour, add eggs, salt, and water to make a paste, then add shredded radish, stir evenly, steam it, and cut it into pieces.

The radish cake made in this way is very simple, and retains the original sweetness of radish, which is very delicious.

As for Jiaozai, it is a bit similar to making dumplings, but it is bigger than dumplings and has a different skin.

The method of making the dough of Jiaozai is similar to that of Tanghuan. The glutinous rice flour is prepared in advance, and then the glutinous rice flour is kneaded and steamed to make a dough. Then put the flour into the flour and knead it into a dough.

Then separate out small doses, and press them into fist-sized skins. In addition, prepare the fillings made of bean sprouts, egg skins and crushed peanuts.

After wrapping the stuffing with the dough, close the mouth and pinch the edges to make a pattern. After steaming, the jiaozai, which are one and a half fists in size, are ready.

Both radish cake and jiaozai can be prepared before the Suzhai offering, and then steamed in a steamer, which is simple and quick.

And Chen Nianguan put the main event on Tangbu.

The radish cake and jiaozai are both steamed and salty, which is just right to satisfy your hunger, but it is a dessert without sugar, and it is planned to be fried on the spot.

But if you do it on the spot, you will also make glutinous rice dumplings in advance.

After taking the glutinous rice flour, add warm water and knead it into a dough. After the humidity is moderate, knead it into glutinous rice balls of about the same size.

Then start the pot, boil the water, pour the glutinous rice dumplings into the boiling water one by one, and cook until each one floats.

After picking it up, put it in ice water once, and the glutinous rice dumpling after the ice water will be more springy and chewy.

This is the preparation work before going to the Grand Buddhist Temple.

After the Grand Buddhist Temple is boiled, add brown sugar and water to make the syrup. After the syrup becomes honey-like, add the glutinous rice dumpling, and then keep stirring until the surface of the glutinous rice dumpling is completely covered with syrup.

At this time, you can sprinkle the prepared crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, and a traditional candy is ready without throwing it away. It can be given to ladies and gentlemen who pass by the stall to try at any time.

Of course, Chen Nianguan first gave Zhang Erlang to eat the candy made today.

Don't shake the hot sugar, but eat it while it's hot, otherwise, when it cools down, the syrup will be very sticky, and you won't be able to shake it off when you eat it.

"Is it tasty?"

Seeing Zhang Erlang eating with a smile, Chen Nianguan also asked with a smile.

Zhang Erlang nodded and commented: "Sweet and chewy."

Chen Nianguan also tried one, um, it crunched and melted in the mouth together with the syrup, it was sticky glutinous rice balls, first glutinous and then crispy, and finally the aroma blended with peanuts and sesame seeds bloomed on the tip of the tongue, very satisfactory.

"What's this called?" Although it was sweet, Zhang Erlang couldn't help but pick another one to eat.

"Candy is not shaken, also known as Ruyiguo." Chen Nianguan said proudly, and leaned in front of Zhang Erlang, watching him eat, "That is to say, after eating this, no matter how hard the two of you shake it, you can't shake it off."

Zhang Erlang glanced at Chen Nianguan and smiled knowingly.

"Do you think I will be welcomed by ladies and gentlemen on the Shangyuan Festival?"

"Yes, definitely." Zhang Erlang expressed his support.

Chen Nianguan is proud.

No, Shangyuan Festival is a good time for young ladies and gentlemen to meet legally. There must be many like-minded young couples or parents who arrange to see each other.

Tang Bu Dump is aimed at such diners.

First of all, Tangbudui is the twin brother of glutinous rice balls. It is very appropriate to eat Tangbudui on the Lantern Festival. Secondly, Tangbudui is sweet and sweet. The glutinous rice dumplings made are round and dripping, and rolled in syrup.Then sprinkle sesame and peanuts on it for decoration, and the glutinous rice balls covered with syrup on the surface can't be shaken off after sticking, just like the stickiness of a couple in damn love who can't get rid of it no matter how hard they are!

Sending you to the Grand Buddhist Temple to worship Buddha in the open face, and the ladies and gentlemen who are actually dating to meet, eat this candy and don’t throw it away, isn’t it the best blessing?

Uh huh, so after the three kinds of vegetarian food were confirmed, Chen Nianwan went to the warehouse and found the batch of sauces and ingredients that Liu He brought when he came to Beijing, which also included ginger powder and coconut made by Sister Fang and the others.pink.

Now that there is food, there is no shortage of hot drinks.

So, she plans to let the pilgrims of the Grand Buddhist Temple also try the tropical coconut milk!

This will also be one of the ways to promote Chen's Restaurant.

The container for the coconut milk will be a bamboo tube designed by her. I will choose a thin bamboo tube with the words "Chenjia Hor Fun" engraved on it, and then there will be a lid. If you tie it with a rope, it will be a very good kettle.

In this way, after the pilgrims drink coconut milk that day, they can give them the bamboo water bottle, which can also play a very good publicity effect!

Of course, the site will naturally distribute red tickets of Chenjia Restaurant to the pilgrims, encouraging them to visit the restaurant on Suchuan Road.

In this way, a vegetarian meal not only takes a lot of effort, but also has to be paid out of pocket!

This is not counting the expenses of the lion dance for the opening of Chen's restaurant, and the effort to attract diners from the Lantern Festival to Suchuan Road at night. Chen Nianguan calculated the expenses of that day, and Little Darling couldn't help butLive twitching badly.

Fortunately, she later earned a large sum of money from selling down clothes, otherwise, she would not be able to afford such a waste of money in the restaurant's publicity in the early stage!

Now that the policy plan was decided, Chen Nianguan taught Liu Yun the three recipes and asked her to teach the six cooks, while he went to Carpenter He and asked them to make five hundred bamboo-tube kettles first.

As soon as the third day arrived, Zhang Erlang went out with Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si, and went to Fan's residence together.

This is the first time Zhang Erlang has visited Fan Shilang in the mansion, but it is not the first time that Fan Shilang has heard of Zhang Erlang.

Fan Shilang knew that his old father in Funing County had taken in a new disciple, and he also received a letter from his father entrusting him to take care of him.

In fact, Fan Shilang knew without his father's mentioning that a son who came from his father's family would be lucky enough to be an official in the court in the future, and would naturally be regarded as one of his own.

In the imperial court, becoming an official and becoming an official, you can't go on alone, but if you have the support of your seniors before and the support of your peers later, that is capital.

At the beginning, Fan Shilang relied on his father's connections to enter the Ministry of Rites. He took advantage of the relationship he had been in business for many years, and Fan Shanchang sacrificed himself to pave the way for him, so he reached his current position at a young age.

In this way, the more colleagues who are in the same camp as oneself, the better.

Some time ago, when Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si came to see him, Fan Shilang asked them about Zhang Erlang.

My father mentioned in the letter that Zhang Erlang is the husband of the daughter of Chen Ming, the savior who saved his family's savior. With this relationship, even if Zhang Erlang's ranking in the local examination is not as good as that of Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si, he can't help but attach great importance to Zhang Erlang..

Knowing that he was recuperating after falling from a horse in Meilu Academy, he dropped out of school to study at home, he couldn't help but sigh, and even sent a steward to deliver some nourishing medicinal materials, and he was relieved to know that there was no serious problem.

Now that saw Zhang Erlang for the first time, and saw that he was handsome and clear, with an extraordinary temperament, understood why father didn't take Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si into his family, but Zhang Yulang.

Seeing that he was not particularly outstanding in ordinary times, but he was able to successfully pass three tests and beat five generals, and even passed the exam like Chen Nianjian, who has always studied hard and practiced hard, so it should not be underestimated.

There are still a few more months of study time before the Jinshi exam, so don't know how advanced Zhang Erlang's knowledge has become?

During the greetings between Fan Shilang and the three juniors, he naturally talked about the upcoming spring, discussed some academic topics for them, talked about the situation of the adults who might become examiners at that time, and analyzed the strategies and theories over the yearsAs for the topic, the three juniors of Juren were instructed, so naturally they said yes repeatedly.

"You and I are all from the same school. We are like-minded. Now we should work together to pass the Jinshi exam. But even if you fail the exam, you don't have to worry too much. You already have the opportunity to enter the court as an official, although it may take more time., but if the time is right, as your senior, I will recommend one or two for you, and I hope that we will work together to overcome this difficulty first."

The three of them were grateful for Fan Shilang's promise, and thanked them one by one.

Zhang Erlang responded with a smile on the surface, and he was relieved in his heart.

He usually stays behind closed doors, naturally he doesn't want to cause trouble because his face is similar to Yongchang Hou Shizi, but he still takes the risk to meet Fan Shilang. First, he remembers that Fan Shilang has nothing to do with Yongchang Marquis Residence, orI have heard of the name of the son, but should have never met the son of Yongchang Hou. Secondly, there is a re-examination before Chunwei, and the purpose of visiting Fan Shilang at this time is also to get Fan Shilang's care during the re-examination.

Now that have met Fan Shilang, he has also left a good impression on him, and the goal has been achieved, and the hanging heart is naturally relieved.

After returning to Xianggui Street, took advantage of the last period of time before the exam to seriously review the books and do the questions, as usual.
