Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

"People from the Black Orchid Society have been here, are you still interested?" Mu Zhiyuan said calmly.

"What, you mean Heilan can do it?" Nalan Jue got excited and threw away the wet cloth in his hand.

"You don't have to worry about surveillance. I have already sent people here to keep an eye on the rice noodle workshop. Last night, a man wearing a black ghost mask entered the rice noodle workshop together with Peng Ying, the leader of the Goshawk Gang."

"Brother Mu, Lou Lan'er said that Heilan Club and the Goshawk Gang want to recruit shopkeeper Hu to start the business of Xiaoyao Powder. Are they going to borrow the rice noodle workshop to make Xiaoyao Powder?"

Although she came to Da Huai Kingdom not long ago, Shui Xi had heard about Xiaoyaosan.

Legend has it that people who use it will have extreme hallucinations and feel as if they are in heaven. The predecessor of Xiaoyao Powder is the "Five Stone Powder" that was popular among celebrities in the previous dynasty. It was banned because excessive use was fatal.

"Xiaoyao powder is like white flour and can be easily mixed into rice noodles. In this case, the person with the black ghost face is most likely a member of the Black Orchid Society." Mu Zhiyuan cupped his chin and analyzed.

"Prince Mu, why didn't you report it to Zhou Zhixian? Do you want to arrest them yourself? There are no fixed rules in the way people act. Are you afraid of alerting others?"

"Exactly. Besides, to capture the thief, capture the king first, and capture the ghost-faced man first. When everyone and everyone else has the stolen goods, I will go find Zhang Captou."

"The Caobang supported by the Black Orchid Association in recent years has cut off my domestic shipping business, leaving me with no choice but to develop overseas. It cost me a lot of money to build the Xingjue. Then Can the Ghost Faced One be left to my disposal when the time comes?" Nalan Jue said bitterly.

"Mr. Nalan, Heilan Society has done many evil things, and has sent people to assassinate Brother Mu many times. He wants to uproot Heilan Society more than you do."

"This Ghost Faced Man should be just a small leader, or the messenger of the master behind the scenes. They are eager to re-consolidate their power south of the Huaijiang River. Presumably the foundation of the Northern Capital has been loosened, and this is the best time to attack them."

"In that case, I will send more manpower to keep an eye on Beidu. Don't forget, I also have a small coffee shop there, and the business is booming."

"Wait a minute, are you two planning to cooperate?" Shui Xi interrupted the conversation between Mu Zhiyuan and Nalan Jue, "Brother Mu, it's better to leave this matter to Zhou Zhixian for long-term discussion... at least wait until Lou Lan'er and Yi Zhili After leaving the tending building."

Mu Zhiyuan walked up to Shu Xi and said, "Ah Shu, we didn't say we wouldn't look for Zhou Zhixian, but we were just afraid of alerting others. Today you went to the rice noodle workshop to buy rice noodles, and we killed another of their killers. I'm worried that they will change the workshop. "

"That day Lou Lan'er said that they were going to work with Shopkeeper Hu to sell Xiaoyaosan. I only guessed that it would be at this rice noodle workshop. How should I dispel their doubts now? How about I go to the rice noodle workshop to cancel the order just now."

"No! Are you sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth!" Mu Zhiyuan shouted sternly.

"Besides, you are just asking for it." Nalan Jue said quietly, "In my opinion, you just go back to the Haowei Restaurant, and then claim that you met a bad person and are not in good spirits. You will not be in charge for the time being. You will only patrol the restaurant. Don’t go to Haoweilou or your own home, anywhere else.”

"I'd better go back early, Master Nalan, Brother Mu, please be more careful!"

"I'll take you back." Mu Zhiyuan followed.

In the Haowei Building, Zhang Xiucai was standing in the hall talking, and Adi Xiaodouzi took over from him and was responsible for the checkout.

When Mu Zhiyuan saw that Mao Xi had returned to Haoweilou safely, he thought about it and decided to go to the Yamen to find Zhang Captou first.

Some old diners saw that Ma Xi was back and complained to her: "Shopkeeper Liu, when will Lou Lan'er come back? We still like to listen to her stories. The story of Xiucai is not vivid enough and is too boring!"

Most of the people who complained to Mao Xi were old customers of Liuxiang Snacks. Some of them were aunts and ladies in the town, some were traveling merchants, and some were porters and coolies.

Although Mao Xi's Haoweilou is a large restaurant, it still sells affordable snacks and retains many popular snack menus.

Mao Xi took the teapot from the small hand and refilled the tea for these old customers.

"Auntie, brothers, although the book that Xiucai said in this chapter is not as vivid as Lou Lan'er's, the words were originally written by him. Moreover, the story "The Case of the Fox Demon" that you like to hear the most is still written by Xiucai Zhang. Those who have experienced it.”

Lou Lan'er raised her head towards the waiter, Ah Xing, and signaled him with her eyes, adding some melon seeds and peanuts to each of them.

"Don't think that scholars speak too elegantly. The storytellers in teahouses and restaurants in Kaitang County may not be as good as our scholars. It's great for us to listen to this kind of elegance occasionally!"

The aunt who kept eating melon seeds was the first to accept it. After Zhang Xiucai mentioned that he missed the provincial examination due to being drugged, she asked him sympathetically if he still planned to continue taking part.

Zhang Xiucai looked excited. This was the first audience he interacted with during his story telling in recent days.

"Auntie, I will still participate. Thanks to shopkeeper Liu, I can work in Haoweilou during the day and earn some money to support my family. Now my family also supports me..."

Several other diners who still had complaints stopped their complaints.

After handling the complaints from the restaurant diners, they returned to the kitchen, where Xiaoqing and Dajiang gathered around.

Dajiang held a tube of scallops and complained to Mao Xi that the sales volume of scallops in the past two days was not good. There was a surplus every day, and the unsold ones were made into dried scallops by him.

Oe: "Shopkeeper, do you want to reduce the purchase of scallops?"

Xiao Qing: "Currently, there is only one dish, steamed scallops with vermicelli, which is more expensive than steamed shrimp with vermicelli, so many people order shrimp but not scallops, and those who have eaten it only order this dish once."

"Then add a new method! What do you think?" Shu Xi patted his head.

Brother Mu had just told her not to cook these days, and he lied about being frightened to paralyze the Goshawk faction.

Assistant cook Xiao Qing: "Just like abalone, how about making scallop rice?"

Assistant cook Yaomei: "Make... curry scallops?"

"Have you never thought about taking out the scallop meat and making a stir-fry with vegetables?" Mao Xi patted his head again. This new dish still depends on his 21st century brain.

Xiaoqing and Yaomei consciously took a step back: "Shopkeeper, do something like this and let us learn from you!"

Dajiang has already picked up the scallops and is about to pry the shells to get the meat: "Shopkeeper, how many scallops do you want?"

"I injured my hand today. In the past few days, you two and other cooks have been cooking the whole process. I am responsible for supervising."

Mao Xi asked Dajiang to take five scallops, and removed the internal organs and only took out the scallop meat, which is Motoko.

Xiao Qing followed Mao Xi's instructions, boiled water in a pot, added a small amount of salt and rice wine, turned off the heat after the water boiled, added Yuanzi and simmered for three minutes, then took it out and added it to cold water and set aside.

Mao Xi picked some vegetables and wild mushrooms from the kitchen, including peas, chicken pine mushrooms, and soaked black fungus.

Boil another pot of water, add salt and oil, blanch the above vegetables in the water and then add cold water to cool.

Then, pat the yuanzi with dry starch, fry it in an oil pan over low heat until both sides are golden, take it out and set aside.

"Xiao Qing, all the ingredients are ready, you can start frying."

Xiao Qing first adds oil to the hot pan, pours in ginger slices, garlic slices, and onion slices to stir-fry until fragrant, then adds blanched vegetables and wild mushrooms and stir-fries until cooked. Then add salt, soy sauce, pepper, water starch, fried yuanzi, stir-fry quickly over high heat for 30 seconds, and then it is ready to serve.

After putting it on the plate, Xiaoqing couldn't wait to try the first bite.

"Shopkeeper! This is too fresh. It's not fishy when fried. It has a chewy texture and retains the original flavor of the seafood. Will you keep these ingredients in it from now on?"

"The wild mushrooms depend on what is available in the kitchen that day, but they must be fried. In addition to peas, the vegetables can also be changed to asparagus or colored peppers. Let's call this dish "Stir-fried Wild Mushrooms". "

Xiaoqing's face was full of excitement and she quickly ran to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, please give me a food card."

After finishing speaking, she trotted over to the waiters and asked them to help recommend this new dish to the diners.
