Chapter 23
Tang Jiu did not leave after eating the noodles. He carried the bowl and walked to Lin Dan's side, whispering: "Everyone in Nancheng is a stranger and loves to hold groups. Everyone in every place has a fellow villager's association here. The most numerous fellow villagers will have Six, Shaan-Gan-Ning Village Association, Shuzhou Village Association, Baiyue Village Association, Jiangnan Village Association, Hubei Xiang Village Association, Yunnan and Guizhou Village Association. In the future, if you fry samzi, just take out six pots and adjust six kinds The taste is fine, you don’t have to worry about the other tastes, it’s too much trouble."
"This is also a way. If a customer points out that they want a special flavor, I can help make it. Tang Jiu, thank you for your advice." Lin Dan smiled gratefully. She knew how to save trouble, but she really didn't know the demographic structure of Nancheng.
"No thanks, give me another bowl of noodles, sour and spicy." Tang Jiu knocked on the empty bowl.
Lin Dan shook his head and laughed, then cooked a bowl of noodles neatly with his hands and feet.
In order to greet the guests, Qin Erniang slept late every day, and naturally got up late during the day, and she would never open her eyes until three poles in the sun. But today is different. In the dimness, she suddenly smelled an unspeakable scent, which was so strong and overbearing that it not only caught her saliva, but also made her toss and turn to sleep hard. She struggled in bed for a long time, and finally had to get up with a rush, put on her clothes, and ran outside to check.
"Where does the stewed meat smell come from? Go find it for me, and buy me half a catty of stewed meat!" She instructed several turtles.
"Er Niang, let's go look for it now." The tortoises just prepared to go out, their faces still woke up with anxiety, no doubt, they were also aroused by the fragrance. After a while, the girls upstairs all got up, squatting on the railing and beckoning: "We also want to eat braised pork, and bring back more."
A few tortoises agreed well, but they didn’t come back, but the scent of the halogen became stronger and stronger, and then it became hot and sour, scallion and so on. Various flavors were mixed together. Let the people's tongue produce fluid and salivate. Qin Erniang first sat in the hall and waited, then ran to the door to look around, and then she couldn't afford to wait, and waved her handkerchief at the girls: "I'll go out and have a look by myself. Go back to sleep."
"It smells so good, how can I sleep!" The girls complained while rubbing their stomachs.
Qin Erniang was too hooked, and quickly ran into the Sanchakou alley following the scent, and went round and round to the small restaurant that would surely lose his life yesterday. She couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. She thought that she was looking for the wrong place. She craned her neck to take a look, but saw a few tortoises in her store just sitting in the hall eating noodles, gorging themselves in a hurry.
The big earthen jar at the door was steaming hot, and an itchy scent came out continuously. The struggling Qin Erniang completely compromised, half covering her old face, and walked in secretly.
"Guest officer, please," Xiaozhu greeted him with a smile, and then said in surprise: "Hey, you are not the one from yesterday..."
"Whether this one, give me half a catty of braised pork, and another bowl of bashful noodles." Qin Erniang's old face turned red.
Lin Dan raised his head in his busy schedule. Although he recognized Qin Erniang, his eyes were full of gentle smiles, "Okay, your accent is probably from Qianzhou? I'll give you this lowei. How about mixing chili, ginger seed oil, and garlic in water?" After traveling for many years, she understands better than anyone the principle of making money with harmony.
Originally extremely embarrassed, and afraid that Lin Dan would ridicule his own Qin Erniang about yesterday’s incident, she instantly became at ease with an old face smiling like a flower, "Okay, you can help me mix it, our hometown. Eating braised pork is just like that, otherwise it won’t taste! I haven’t tasted it in more than ten years!” He wiped his mouth with a kerchief, for fear of drooling.
"You can mix raw meat, pork liver, pig blood, and chicken blood. You can eat it with raw meat, pork liver, pork blood, and chicken blood. Especially cold mixed raw pork and raw pork liver, finely chopped with rice wine, wooden ginger, and simmered. The chili, garlic, and balsamic vinegar are mixed together, and it tastes particularly refreshing." Lin Dan took a casual sentence, unexpectedly making Qin Erniang excited.
She stared directly at Lin Dan, hoping to say, "Yes, that's what we do here. Little boss, you know so much, can you make it?"
"Eating such a heavy bite in the morning is not good for your stomach, or you can come at noon and I will cook it for you. I have been in Qianzhou for several months and can cook some local specialties." Lin Dan nodded.
Qin Erniang nodded quickly and agreed, and then apologized: "Little boss, I said something wrong yesterday. With your craftsmanship, you can't lose money by opening the shop in the corner of the corner!"
Lin Dan smiled and shook his head, her expression very gentle. Hearing the conversation between the two, one of the diners walked over and asked: "Boss, do you know how to make rice noodles? The people there are used to eating rice noodles in the morning and rarely noodles.
Lin Dan's expression was stunned and immediately remedied: "Look at my memory, rice noodles will naturally be made, but I just forgot. If you come back tomorrow, you will have rice noodles. By the way, there is rice tofu with spicy and sour garlic. Juice is especially exciting with eating."
These people were so happy that they even explained that Tianbao will come, not only tomorrow, but every day in the future. They have never seen anyone who is better at cooking than this little boss, and there seems to be nothing she can't cook.
Seeing that Qin Erniang and others had hometown food to eat, the rest of the diners couldn't sit still, so they ran to Lin Dan to order one after another, their eyes full of hope. Fortunately, Lin Dan is very knowledgeable and can cook most of the dishes, some of which have not been cooked before, so that the diners can describe them in detail and restore the taste.
The atmosphere in the shop is very lively. When it comes to hometown food, everyone seems to have opened up the chatterbox and can talk for a long time. Lin Dan listened with a smile, his expression happy.
Tang Jiu had eaten enough, but he was not willing to leave while sitting in a chair. He likes the atmosphere of this restaurant, as warm as home, just like Lin Dan brings him.
At this moment, a group of people walked in outside the door, one and the other with full faces, looking very uncomfortable. They pushed away Xiaozhu and the two patrons, and shouted: "Where is your boss, call him out! Anyone who opens a shop in this area must first go to our big circle to help worship the dock. Don't you know this rule? "Obviously, this is to collect protection fees.
Tang Jiu basically knows the big forces in Nancheng, and he's done well, but he hasn't even heard what the big circle gang is. They all say, "The king is good to see, and the little ghosts are hard to deal with." These people are probably those little ghosts who can't be on the stage, who specifically bully ordinary people with no background.
Tang Jiu was about to step forward, Qin Erniang put down the bowl with a bang, and cursed: "The choppy from wherever you are, you dare to scream on my old mother's site, beware that my old mother cuts your tongue!"
These people didn't know Qin Erniang, so they only thought that she was a strong bitch, who was about to punch someone with a fist. Several turtles throw the chopsticks and greet them, ready to do one. Seeing that a fierce battle was about to unfold, a group of people walked in outside the door. The head was an eight-foot-long, thin man with extremely handsome features and luxurious clothes. At first sight, he was no ordinary person. His lips are very pale, but his cheeks are stained with two abnormal blushes, and his clear and moist eyes seem to be drunk, which can be called suave and romantic.
"The little flies from nowhere are buzzing all the time, so let Benhou go!" He just waved his hand casually, and a few guards with knives came out behind him, squeezing the punk aside.
The noisy front hall was quiet for an instant, and everyone looked at each other. They all knew that this man was probably a very wealthy person with a guard when he went out. This kind of ostentation must be a general.
"Everyone sits and continues to eat, and you don't care about your husband." The handsome man smiled modestly, turned to see Lin Dan, and hesitated: "Are you the treasurer of Lin?"
"It's Lin." Lin Dan arched his hands neither humble nor overbearing.
"You still have a thousand-day liquor for sale here. I want to buy a few altars. No, no, not a few altars. I will buy as many as you have here and take them away." When the man opened his mouth, Lin Dan guessed him. identity of. Claiming to be a drunk man, he personally brought a group of guards out to buy wine before dawn. This man is probably the Weiyuanhou who is addicted to alcohol.
Why did Weiyuan Hou find him suddenly? This has to be said two days ago. On that day, the bearded general sent a jar of Thousand Days wine, which was put on the shelf by the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. Suddenly, Weiyuan Hou Xingzhi came and took guests to visit his wine storehouse. He ordered his servant to take down the best jar of wine from the wine rack and share it with several guests. The servant shook it as he got down the ladder, shook the lightest thousand sun wine, and fell to the ground to pieces.
It's just a jar of unnamed wine without a label and not luxurious enough packaging. Weiyuanhou didn't care. He raised his foot and was about to leave. However, the extremely strong aroma suddenly spread, and the aroma of the entire wine library Cover it. The least drunk guest blushed before tasting, and couldn't help but stagger a few times, and Weiyuanhou, who was not drunk by a thousand cups, was already overwhelmed and intoxicated.
"What kind of wine is this?" He didn't care about the dirt on the ground, so he dipped some wine into his mouth with his fingers and tasted it. His eyes suddenly lit up, "Good wine, really the best wine Benhou has ever drunk!" Luo realized what had happened before, and quickly used cotton cloth to suck. It's a pity that the wine cellar was paved with wooden floors and earth dragons instead of marble for the purpose of heat preservation. The liquor quickly leaked through the cracks in the floor and was completely gone.
A real immortal in a jar of wine was placed in front of him, but he didn't notice it. He broke it when he discovered it, and didn't even taste the sweetness. How could Wei Yuanhou accept this cruel reality? At the moment, he didn't even bother to entertain the guests. He ordered the crude servants to take the initiative to get the twenty big board. After that, he asked the butler to quickly find the person who offered the wine. After searching for two days, he finally found Lin Dan. He couldn't wait. It's dawn.
Lin Dan didn't know the twists and turns inside, but he could see that Wei Yuanhou was anxious. She looked at the other person carefully, shook her head and said: "I don't have Thousand Days Wine here. If I do, I will not sell it to you."
