Farming and slapping face through time travel

After returning to the restaurant, Shen Jiyao was about to start making braised vegetables.

During this period of time, the development of the restaurant has become more and more smooth, and the work in the field has been explained clearly. Now it is not a problem to add some fresh dishes to it, and it can also attract old customers before. It came.

In modern times, there are places that specialize in selling chicken, duck, goose wings and legs, but there is no place in ancient times. A chicken is just two legs, two soles and wings. He can't kill a bunch of chickens for braised chicken wings and chicken feet. Parts, but the more it is like this, the more valuable it is to reflect the value of this stewed meat. Besides, chicken legs and wings can be used to stir-fry vegetables. Yes, it can be made into clear goose soup.

After Shen Jiyao thought about it all night, he planned to discuss it with the owner of the poultry seller tomorrow. If they were willing to sell these to him, that would be the best. If they refused to sell them, he could find a way by himself, and in the worst case, kill more Some poultry, take off the parts that need to be used to make stewed vegetables, and then drive up the price, and name it as the signature dish of the restaurant. It is best to heat up its reputation to attract diners from all over the world. There is no disadvantage if you think about it of.

Early the next morning, Shen Jiyao handed over the side dishes to Lan Qianjue, and he went to the market with Xiaodoumi on his back to find a shop that specializes in slaughtering chickens and geese, and explained his intentions to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is a thick and thick man with a beard. Seeing that Shen Jiyao is a brother, he already looked down on him. After hearing Shen Jiyao's words, he said in a gruff voice, "According to your method, Who will sell my chickens with their paws and wings cut off? This chicken only has two claws. You have to kill as many chickens as you want! Don’t do it, don’t sell it for any money, you can find another place , I don’t sell like this here, I just think of some crooked things to entertain people, you go, I still have to do business.”

Shen Jiyao naturally guessed his reaction, but he never thought that this person would be so perfunctory and impatient, and there was a faint disdainful gesture of looking down on him. Shen Jiyao was not annoyed at all, the more he is like this, the more he can't Let him look down on it, so he continued: "Then how the shopkeeper wants to sell it, we can discuss it, in case I can accept what you said."

The man said in a bad tone, "Of course I'm selling a whole chicken, so why not cut half of it and sell it to you?"

Shen Jiyao found it interesting to see his impatient face. As the saying goes, if you don’t steam the steamed buns, he will buy these chickens and geese today. Besides, he doesn’t have much hope that he can buy chicken legs and paws alone. The method is very extravagant, but he really wants to make stewed vegetables, so why not buy some to test the water first, anyway, he can use the leftover chickens and geese. Thinking of this, he looked at the chickens in the cage and said: "Well, chickens There are fifty geese in total, how about you killing them and chopping them for me before sending them to the restaurant, but then again, I bought so many geese at once, how much do you want to calculate for me per catty?"

"Fifty?" The shopkeeper extended a slap and exclaimed incredulously, "Aren't you joking with me? What are you doing to get so many chickens and geese? Jubaozhai’s business is the best in our town. They don’t sell [-] of them a day, and you’re going to ask for [-] of them. It’s really scary. How about this? I’ll give you [-] bucks. One catty, you pay the money at once, I will kill them all for you today, tell me the name of the place, and I will send it for you, what do you think?"

Shen Jiyao liked to see his surprised expression. He took out a 50 tael bank note from his pocket, and said contemptuously, "Jubaozhai? That's them. Why do you compare me to them? Yes, 23 cents a catty is too expensive. Although I don’t need the money, I don’t think it’s worth it. All the chickens I use in the restaurant are killed at the house in the alley, although there are only about [-] chickens a day. , but they only counted [-] yuan for me. I bought you chickens and geese and bought [-] in one go, but you counted it so high for me. I came here after two trips."

When the man saw the banknote in his hand, he realized that he wanted to buy it intentionally. The impatience he had shown earlier disappeared, and he hurriedly said, "Well, I'll give you 25 yuan a catty, and the goose will also give it to you." You count 25 coins, what do you think, my goose is usually 35 coins without bargaining, if you think it’s okay, I’ll give you a good deal, you can kill it or keep it, in a word, I will help you Well done."

Shen Jiyao nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Thirty geese are needed, and twenty chickens are enough. All of them must be killed. By the way, help me cut off the wings and legs, and keep the body. You can weigh it and see how much money you need. I'll pay you half first, and when the time comes, you'll deliver the goods to Liuxianlou, and I'll settle the bill with you, how about it?"

"Liuxianlou?" The man suddenly said in surprise: "Could it be that you are the shopkeeper of Liuxianlou?"

Shen Jiyao said, "Exactly."

The man's eyes widened, and he said, "No wonder you're so generous,"

Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "It's just that I can use it. You can help me weigh the goose quickly. I have to go back to work."

The man hurriedly nodded in response, and his opinion of Shen Jiyao changed instantly.

He swiftly grabbed twenty chickens and put them in one cage, and put ten geese in three long cages in batches, and began to weigh them.

Fifty chickens and geese, about two hundred catties, cost Shen Jiyao nearly five taels of silver, not much, but it was the money for three spicy chicken hot pots. Shen Jiyao paid three taels of silver and went Mipu buys condiments for making brine. In ancient times, many things were not complete, but fortunately, it is relatively complete in terms of food. In addition to the condiments for making brine, there are no grass fruit and cloves, and others such as star anise, Cinnamon bark, fragrant leaves, cumin, licorice, Chinese prickly ash, these are also quite a lot. Shen Jiyao bought a lot of them back home, and also bought a large pot of soy sauce. If the color of the fried cane sugar is not deep, you can add it to the color.

When Shen Jiyao went back with a bag of things, there were already two tables of guests in the store. A group of people were chatting leisurely. When they saw Shen Jiyao coming, they greeted him. Now Shen Jiyao is quite famous in this town Well, everyone knows that there is a brother in the town who cooks very strange dishes and uses rare ingredients, so they came here to watch them. After learning that the ingredients were imported from Fanbang, they stopped talking.

Shen Jiyao first put down the small beans and gave them to Wang Yueer to take, and then took a bag of ingredients to the kitchen. Lan Qianjue was already cooking, and what he was frying was Gongbao pork liver.

He focused on imitating Shen Jiyao's usual way of shaking the spoon and adding ingredients, but Xu Rong stared nervously at the pot, opened and closed his lips several times, but said nothing.

Shen Jiyao stood quietly behind and watched, and saw that Lan Qianjue was frying the liver in two pots, and then used a spoon to hook some gorgon powder juice into the pot and sprinkled it, but the flames did not ignite, and Lan Qianjue overturned After a while, say: "Garlic leaves."

Xu Rong hurriedly grabbed a handful of garlic leaves and sprinkled them on, then took the clean plate and put it aside.

Lan Qianjue shaved the pork liver and said, "Try how it tastes."

Xu Rong grabbed a piece of pork liver and tasted it seriously, and then said: "It's okay, but it's not as tender as Big Brother Shen's fried."

Lan Qianjue hummed, without even looking at the plate of pork liver, he scooped up water to wash the pot, and said, "It's been frying for too long, let's just let it go, the next plate will be better."

At this time, Shen Jiyao, who had seen enough, said: "I'll fry, you learn from the side, pay attention to when you can put the vegetables and fry, and when you put the seasonings, you have to pull the pot up, otherwise it will be burnt or old." As he spoke, he walked up to Lan Qianjue and grabbed a small piece of liver and ate it. After tasting it carefully, he said, "This pork liver is fried very well. It has a good color and aroma, and it's not particularly old."

The corners of Lan Qianjue's lips twitched, knowing that he was encouraging himself, so without saying much, he asked Shen Jiyao to stand where he was standing, looked at the things he was carrying, and said, "What are you buying. "

Shen Jiyao put all the ingredients on the stove, looked at the menu, and said; "This is my treasure for making brine. There are two other dishes on the two menus that are the same. Qian Jue, you fry with me, only Only by practicing can you learn how to cook.”

Lan Qianjue hummed, and started to stir-fry.

Several people were busy in the kitchen all morning. At noon, when there were few people, Shen Jiyao stopped cooking and handed it over to Lan Qianjue. He went to the street to buy a big earthen pot and started to prepare brine.

It is actually not difficult to prepare brine. Shen Jiyao has already memorized the method on the recipe. Except for the trouble of frying sucrose, everything else is very simple. You just need to find a piece of gauze to wrap the brine and throw it into the pot to boil It's fine, but the brine made that day can't be used until the next day, and Shen Jiyao is not in a hurry, anyway, he still needs the condiments needed for the clear soup goose.

Just as he was cooking in the kitchen with relish, the chicken and goose Shen Jiyao ordered arrived.

At this time, the man was standing on the side and staring nervously at the diners that were full in the restaurant. He couldn't help but wonder inwardly. No wonder a brother is quite famous in the town. He seems to have some skills. In this big restaurant in the town, I'm afraid that his family's business is the best right now, he clenched his fists, thinking that because he looked down on his brother, he almost let go of a big customer.

He secretly rejoiced, looking at the several barrels containing chickens and geese at his feet, seeing Shen Jiyao coming, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Shen, I brought everything you want, and there are several barrels outside the restaurant In the car, just wait, I'll go pick it up for you."

As the man said, he ran to bring in the wooden barrels. There were more than ten barrels in total, and two of them were filled with wings and legs. The diners in the shop saw it, and asked one after another, "Shopkeeper, what are you going to do deliciously again? Why did you buy so many chickens?"

Shen Jiyao smiled, thinking that someone finally asked, he got up and said: "It's nothing, I just plan to make a new dish, it will probably be ready tomorrow, but the quantity is limited, I'm afraid not everyone can eat it It's gone."

The diners around looked up one after another, and someone said: "There are so many chickens and geese, it's not too little, little shopkeeper, can you sell them all tomorrow?"

Shen Jiyao smiled and went to get the money to settle the bill with the man, and said: "All I have to do is these two barrels of wings and feet. These chickens have other uses. I don't know if you have eaten lo-mei. These are just for making lo-mei But there are really few things, if you are interested tomorrow, you can come to the small shop to try it, and it will be ready in the afternoon, and the taste is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Some diners said: "The little shopkeeper's cooking is always delicious. With your guaranteed dishes, the taste is definitely not bad. My friends and I will definitely come to try something new tomorrow! Let's see what other good dishes the little shopkeeper can make."

"You are welcome at any time." Shen Jiyao smiled and didn't plan to say any more. He had to keep a sense of mystery, so he didn't tell the diners anymore. It seems that he doesn't need to do any publicity this time, and these diners will help him. For publicity, he only needs to put the signboard of the new dish outside the door. He counted one tael and 830 Wen to the man and said, "Are you counting correctly?"

The man simply counted one side, and put it away when he saw that it was right. He looked at Shen Jiyao, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, your business is so good, do you want more tomorrow? If you want, I will send it to you again." .”

Shen Jiyao waved his hand and said, "No, I will find you when I need it."

The man had no choice but to say: "Well, you empty the barrel, I should go back."

Shen Jiyao hummed, and asked Xu Rong and the others to take all the contents of the barrel to the backyard and pour them into a basin, while he continued to make brine in the kitchen.

the other side.

South of the town, Sifang Restaurant.

There was a handsome boy waving a fan, followed by a servant, and the two of them entered the Sifang Restaurant one after the other.

There were not many people in the restaurant, and there were only a few tables where people sat sporadically. The two chose a table and chairs to sit down. After a while, the waiter came up to greet him. The young master ordered a few dishes seriously, and asked the waiter to go down to prepare.

The boy looked around seriously, and then said, "Master, let's go back home."

"Whispering." Brother Young Master said, "I just came out to have a meal. I'm tired of the food in the house. Let's eat some rare things outside before going back."

The little servant looked embarrassed, and was about to speak, but the son said, "Shut up, don't spoil the mood of the master."

The servant didn't dare to say any more, so he shut up obediently.

There was the sound of crackling and calculating at the counter of the restaurant, and the diners on the side were bragging wildly, and the dishes and bowls were clashing, mixed with the sound of eating and drinking, which made the corners of the young master's lips curl up in joy, To listen to diners chat.

I only heard one of the two people at the next table say: "Hey, the more I eat the dishes of Sifang Ke, the more I get used to them. You also said that the new dishes you introduced are delicious, but that's all. The meat is too stewed." It's rotten, it's not chewy at all, and the taste is too simple. How is it different from the usual stew? It's far worse than the mere fried chicken in Liuxianlou. Your brother has never tasted it. , or I guarantee that you will think about going to his house to eat every day."

Another person said: "I went to this northern part of the town years ago, and I didn't have anything to eat. It's the food from Sifang Ke that suits my appetite."

The man said: "Hey! That happened years ago! You don't know about this powerful person from our town. The restaurant was opened during this time. I also learned about Liuxian Tower through the guidance of an old friend. The food made by the shopkeeper is delicious, and besides, the other party not only cooks delicious dishes, but also is a brother! His appearance is rare in the world. Not much else to say, just because of his cooking skills, I will Just admire it!"

Brother Young Master squinted his eyes when he heard the words, a brother with excellent craftsmanship?He chuckled lightly, becoming interested, and continued listening.

Another person asked: "Is it really so powerful? Then let's try it together some other day?"

The man said: "What are you waiting for another day? I heard that the little brother is going to make a new dish tomorrow. I will try it tomorrow. It would be a pity if I was late and couldn't eat it." ."

"I'll go with you, how about it."

"Naturally, haha, come and drink."

After the two finished talking, they toasted and clinked lightly, and continued to drink.

Brother Young Master said softly, "Liu Xian Lou? It's a big tone. I'll go to the meeting today to see how delicious it is and how to stay immortal."

As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave on his own, and the boy sitting opposite him got up and asked, "Master, where are you going?"

"Go to Liuxian Tower." Brother Young Master said, "Do you know where it is?"

"The slave doesn't know, so I'll just stay here and eat something simple." The boy looked back and saw that Xiaoer had already walked towards them with the dishes, so he hurriedly said, "The shop has already prepared all the dishes." Food is ready."

Brother Young Master's face turned cold, and said: "Are you the master or I am the master, who do we listen to?"

Seeing that Brother Young Master was angry, the boy hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Listen to me."

Brother Gongzi snorted, went straight to the cash register to throw out a piece of silver, and said, "Shopkeeper, let me ask you how to get to Liuxian Tower."

The shopkeeper frowned and looked at the son-in-law, and said, "Guest officer, the store is not welcoming you well? The dishes are all ready, where are you going?"

Brother Young Master frowned, and when he was about to show off his power, the servant at the side took the lead and said coldly, "You can say what you want, and you still want to control where my grandfather goes."

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly pointed out the way for the two of them. After they had left, he grabbed the silver taels bitterly, and said, "Liuxianlou, it's Liuxianlou again! How much business are you trying to steal from me?" ?! It’s really pissing off! I’m definitely at odds with them! Just wait.”

The shopkeeper blew his beard and stared angrily, and called Xiao Er to guard the counter, and then walked to the welcoming restaurant to the east.

At this time, Shen Jiyao, who was still cooking brine, didn't know that an inevitable confrontation had been brought forward because of the man's arrival.
