Farming and slapping face through time travel

Zhenxi, inside Jubaozhai.

It was past noon, and there were no guests in the restaurant for dinner. A middle-aged man sat at the table with an angry expression on his face. Thinking about today's events, he felt so angry that he clenched his fists and slammed his fist on the table as if venting his anger. On the way, there was a muffled bang, and the waiters in the restaurant looked at him one after another. The man who was busy with the account at the counter over there glanced at him, then handed over the account to the accountant, and he went around the counter to The man beside him poured a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, why did you get so angry, can you tell me, so I can analyze it for you."

This person was Wang Changshun, the shopkeeper of Sifang Guest Restaurant. He took a sip of tea from the teacup and said troubledly, "Hey! Brother Zhao, you don't know something. I'm really aggrieved today, and I'm so pissed off. Just now a young master came to my restaurant to have a meal. The dishes were all prepared, but he didn't eat them for no reason, and even threw a piece of silver to ask me how to get to Liuxianlou. Silver is still annoying, you said where did this Liuxian Tower come from, it actually took away all our business, and it became famous within a short month, ask me The matter of going to Liuxian Tower is no longer just once or twice, it is really abhorrent!"

Zhao Tianqi, the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai, has passed his thirties, and he has a mustache on his lower lip. Hearing this, he habitually raised his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "Isn't this Liuxianlou the restaurant opened by that brother?" , What kind of ability can a brother have, such a man who grows other people's ambitions, destroying his own prestige is not a good thing, a mere lowly brother, what can he do, maybe the weather is too hot these days, cooking is too much, isn't it the same in previous years, Don't worry too much."

Wang Changshun said sullenly: "Hey, brother, you don't know something. Zhenbei has always been a difficult place to do business. Now a brother not only opened a restaurant in Zhenbei, but also drove the business of Zhenbei. Now everyone is praising him for his glory! And all the business in the town has gone to his house, every day is full, and sometimes even have to queue up, and I occasionally hear diners who come to my place say, Someone deliberately found Zhenbei from various villages and towns, just to go to his restaurant for dinner. You can't be angry. His family's business is so good, but ours is not as good as before. It is really infuriating, isn't it? He has robbed our business, who else can there be?"

When Zhao Tianqi heard it, he couldn't help being jealous, and he also heard the meaning of Wang Changshun's words, so he said, "Then according to brother's intention, it is what I plan to do."

Wang Changshun hurriedly whispered these words: "We can't let him continue to be so arrogant, otherwise we two will go to meet guests and make an appointment with Zhangwu, and we will go to the Liuxian Building to send a letter of challenge to him and let him fight with us." Let's try cooking skills, what do you think."

Zhao Tianqi hissed, and said with a look of consideration: "I'm afraid it's not right. The three of us fight him alone. Even if we win, I'm afraid people will say that we won by force."

"You don't care what these things are, as long as you win." Wang Changshun said, "It's better to drive him out of the town and stop hindering our business. My good brother, you should make a decision. Anyway, we have been in the town for over ten years, but we were suppressed like this by this little brother. It would be really shameful if this news gets out. Anyway, Jubaozhai is also a restaurant opened by your ancestors. That's a time-honored brand! How could it be so easy to lose to someone who just came here not long ago."

Zhao Tianqi thought for a while before hesitating and said: "Well, let's go to Zhangwu to discuss it, and see what he plans first."

"OK, let's go now?"

"Let's go."

The two got up while talking, and Zhao Tianqi left Jubaozhai after instructing the clerk.

……

Liuxian Tower.

The restaurant was very quiet, and everyone lay down on the table to have a rest, while Wang Yueer slept on it lying on top of the counter. Although the large amount of silver had been handed over to Shen Jiyao, there were still some pieces of silver in it, so Wang Yueer didn't have to worry about it. He would not leave the cashier for anything, and was very responsible. The brine was being boiled in the stove, and Lan Qianjue and Shen Jiyao closed the door in the backyard. Together, they packed all the chickens and geese into the treasure bag, and then they hugged and lay on the bed. Xiao Doumi on the bamboo chair went to the front hall.

As soon as they reached the lobby, two people happened to enter the room.

Shen Jiyao and Lan Qianjue looked at each other, and the latter went up to meet him and asked politely, "Are you two here for dinner?"

These two people are the elder brother Qi Xuan who had dinner at the Sifang Guest Restaurant earlier. He looked at the decorations in the restaurant and said with a smile: "Exactly, I heard people say that the food made by your restaurant is very delicious. Come and try it." What kind of delicious method is it, and what special dishes do you have, let me introduce it."

Lan Qianjue made a gesture of invitation to invite the two of them to come inside. He still seemed a little stiff when he started to receive people and entertain guests, and said, "You two sit inside first, and I will show you the menu."

Qi Xuan nodded, found a clean table and chair to sit down, and looked around habitually, he saw Shen Jiyao standing at the bottom of the stairs holding Xiaodoumi at a glance, after seeing the beautiful lotus mark on his forehead His gaze inevitably carried some scrutiny, he really is a brother!I heard that brother can give birth, so could it be that what he is holding is his own?Who is the child's father? Qi Xuan thought about turning his head to look at Lan Qianjue who was taking the menu in front of the counter. He gradually became concerned. It seemed that the relationship between the two should be similar to what he thought. It's new for brothers to be together, and it was only seen in historical records before, he has never seen such a thing with his own eyes.

Shen Jiyao on the opposite side nodded politely at him after feeling the sizing from the other party, and then carried Xiaodoumi into the kitchen. Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows and kept looking in the direction of the kitchen. It was the first time he saw The legendary brother couldn't help being a little curious. It seems that he is the shopkeeper of this restaurant, and the dishes should be made by him. I really can't tell that such a weak man can cook amazing dishes Full of praise for the dish.

He smiled, and became more and more curious about the dishes of this restaurant and the two of them.

Lan Qianjue brought the menu and said, "Let's see what you want to eat. There are all dishes on the menu. You can order whatever you want."

Qi Xuan casually glanced at the menu, and found that there were some dishes he had never seen before. He was quite surprised, thinking that what others said was delicious was just changing the soup without changing the medicine. Who knew it would be so different, he said: "Just pick a few good dishes that you are good at."

Lan Qianjue didn't say much, took the menu and put it on the cash register, and then brought a pot of herbal tea from the table next to the wine jar and poured it for the two of them one by one. The guy who was sleeping soundly wearing the same clothes couldn't help but said curiously: "Looking at your clothes, you should be the shopkeeper of this restaurant. Why don't some guys ask them to greet the guests, and they have to do it themselves."

Lan Qianjue smiled disapprovingly, and said: "They worked harder than me, and finally had time to rest, so naturally I couldn't bear to disturb them. I can do these small things, so why bother them."

Qi Xuan was quite moved, he didn't expect the two of them to be so considerate to their buddies.

Lan Qianjue put down the teapot and said, "You two, wait a moment. If you need anything, just call me there."

Qi Xuan nodded, and Lan Qianjue went to the kitchen.

Xiao Doumi sat on the small stool specially prepared for him, and when she saw Lan Qianjue coming in, she screamed happily. Lan Qianjue dotingly stepped forward to touch Xiao Doumi's tender and smooth face, while Shen Jiyao was stirring The brine in his earthen pot, when he saw Lan Qianjue coming in, he asked, "What dishes did they order?"

"I didn't say anything." Lan Qianjue said; "Just let us fry a few good ones."

Shen Jiyao hummed, closed the lid and thought for a while, then said, "Then stir-fry braised fish in brown sauce, twice-cooked pork, and then stir-fry a plate of Kung Pao chicken and make a health-preserving mushroom soup. It's simple."

Naturally, Lan Qianjue had no objection, it would be better to make it simpler, so as to save the rest time and make Shen Jiyao tired, he squatted down to light the fire without saying a word, while Shen Jiyao prepared a few dishes, fished out a fish and killed it. Start cooking when the fire is hot.

The two cooperated very tacitly, and the dish was fried in a short while.

Lan Qianjue went out with the dishes, while Shen Jiyao carried Xiaodoumi to wash his face. The little guy was just choking on the oily fumes and kept wiping his face.

Qi Xuan looked at the dishes served, looked at the twice-cooked pork with a sense of freshness, and said: "What kind of dish is this, I have never seen such a method."

Lan Qianjue introduced the names of the dishes to him one by one, Qi Xuan nodded, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat, Lan Qianjue walked to the side table and sat down. The white and tender Xiao Doumi came to sit with him and whispered.

Here, Qi Xuan didn't have time to observe Shen Jiyao either. He only took a bite and savored it for a while, then he gave an appreciative hum, and praised without hesitation: "Although the ingredients are the same, the taste is so different from that of the cook at home. , Not bad! Delicious! The meat is fat but not greasy, fried soft and glutinous, the pork skin is also very clean, the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the soup is very tasty. It really deserves its reputation, Ah Bao, Try it too, this dish is really delicious!"

The servant named Abao was already salivating when he smelled the aroma of the dishes, but it was disrespectful for him to make an exception to sit at the same table with his master, how dare he eat with him, he swallowed, But with an unwavering look on his face.

Qi Xuan didn't care about him anymore, but ate on his own, admiring a few words from time to time, seeing A Bao pursed his mouth and couldn't stop swallowing, he said: "Eat as soon as I let you, this is an order."

A Bao looked at Qi Xuan, hesitated for a while, and then started to eat with a bowl.

As soon as he ate the food, Ah Bao's eyes lit up in an instant, he didn't have time to say more, he just couldn't stop adding food to the bowl, Qi Xuan couldn't help smiling when he saw his appearance.

The two were enjoying their meal when three more people entered the restaurant.

It was Wang Changshun and the others who came here, and he looked at the restaurant arrogantly. As soon as he saw that the two people who were sitting and eating were the two who were in his restaurant just now, he suddenly became angry. He said politely and loudly: "Where is the shopkeeper of Liuxian Tower? I'll come to visit, so hurry up and see me."

Several people in the store who were sleeping on their stomachs were woken up by Wang Changshun's loud voice. The two who were talking in low voices frowned and looked at the three of them. Shen Jiyao keenly sensed that the visitor was not kind, so he handed Xiaodoumi to Lan Qianjue, got up and went forward, and said in a neutral manner: "Did you see that there are customers eating in my shop? What's the matter?" Let's sit down calmly and have a cup of tea and talk slowly, don't be so anxious."

Wang Changshun said: "I have nothing to say to you, the three of us are here to challenge you today, you dare to fight."

The other two frowned and looked at Wang Changshun, a little disgusted by the way he spoke. They came here to discuss cooking skills, but they acted like they were looking for trouble.

"Gauntlet?" Shen Jiyao looked at him contemptuously, and instantly guessed that these people should be colleagues, otherwise he had not offended anyone, and there would be no one who would come to the challenge for no reason, so he said: "What do you want to compare? Cooking?"

Several people were slightly taken aback, curious how he knew but didn't ask further, Zhao Tianqi said: "As long as you know, do you dare to answer?"

Shen Jiyao said: "If there is anything you dare not do, how can you compare it?"

Wang Changshun said: "One person cooks five dishes, then invite people in the town to taste them, and pick out the dishes they think are the most delicious. The one with the most votes wins."

"Okay, the rules are set by you, but the people invited to taste the dishes have to be randomly selected, so as not to let people take advantage of loopholes and be unfair to everyone, what?"

Wang Changshun couldn't help scolding Shen Jiyao for being cunning, and he secretly complained. His wishful thinking was immediately disrupted, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Then it's settled like this. In the morning three days later, we will have a duel in my Sifang Restaurant Up or down, how about it."

Shen Jiyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you want to play in Jubaozhai? Since you want to play, let's play bigger. Let's do this. When the time comes, our family will fund the construction of a ring in the town and cook in front of the big guys. No one will want to take a piece of it." Good location, although I have no fear of cooking in your restaurant, but if I stay in someone else's place, I feel uncomfortable, and to avoid suspicion, I don't think you will really choose to compete in your own restaurant .”

The words without stage fright immediately won the applause of Qi Xuan, who was eating at the side, and Zhang Yong, who was standing at the side, also applauded, emotionally, and those people looked troubled, Shen Jiyao said: "Why, I changed the place The craftsmanship will be useless, dare to say it directly, you are the ones who came to call for battle."

"If you don't dare, just do as you say!" Several people were very displeased that he turned against the general and fell into his aggressive method. Zhangwu only felt that Wang Changshun had completely humiliated him today. If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have come with him. He was not happy about the good competition, and his tone of voice was very hostile. He said: "The loser will close the restaurant and get out of Nanquan Town. How dare you?"

Shen Jiyao snorted and said, "The stakes are so high, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to step down in the future?"

These confident words were full of sarcasm, and Zhang Wu was completely irritated. He said impatiently: "You can accept it or not!"

Shen Jiyao said disapprovingly: "Take it, are you afraid of you? It's settled like this. In the past two days, you find someone to build the arena yourself. When the time comes, give me the cost details. I will pay part of the money that I should pay. It's okay, you can Leave, after three days, don't be absent."

Wang Changshun said: "Hmph, let's take my leave first!"

Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "Walk slowly."

The few people didn't take advantage of it, and they didn't see Shen Jiyao's trembling appearance. Instead, they re-bet such a large bet, and they were always a little uneasy and unhappy. As the three of them walked back, Wang Changshun said, "What do you mean?" Brother has a confident look on his face, I guess he really has a hand, if we really lose, will we really have to move out of Nanquan Town?"

Zhao Tianqi looked at him displeased, and said, "Why, are you afraid of what you provoked?"

Wang Changshun hurriedly denied it: "I'm not scared, I just don't want the two of you to suffer along the way, look at his confident appearance, if he really wins the three of us, then it's okay, how will the business in this town be in the future?" It’s not all cheap for him alone.”

Zhang Wu looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "So you have another idea?"

"Hehe, I have such an idea." Wang Changshun said, "If we make his fried dishes extremely unpalatable, do you think he can't beat us?"

Zhao Tianqi asked: "How do you say that?"

Wang Changshun smiled triumphantly, and said, "If one of his servants can be bribed to secretly add something to the seasoning, everything will be over."

Zhang Wu looked at him in disbelief and said, "Brother Wang, are you crazy about wanting to win? You can buy his servants if you say he can buy them? If you can't buy them at that time, then he will be turned into an army by that brother. What should you do."

Wang Changshun said: "Of course I won't do something I'm not sure of. You don't know. Just now when I saw everyone applauding that brother's words, one of them didn't show any expression. It doesn't look like that brother at all. Take your son's affairs to heart, maybe you will be dissatisfied with this brother. You say that if I pay him a sum of money and promise to abolish his slavery, such a good thing, I'm afraid I can't ask for it , besides, if we are afraid that it will not be safe, let's play another trick for him, then he won't let him go, so naturally he can only use it for me."

Zhao Tianqi said: "Since that's the case, then you can arrange it, and we don't care."

Wang Changshun said with a sinister smile, "I'll make the arrangements, but in terms of money... the two brothers have to help out."

The two looked at him contemptuously and said, "You can just say how much it will be used by then."

……

Inside Liuxian Building.

Wang Yue'er said worriedly: "Brother Shen, you are at a disadvantage compared to the three of them."

Lan Qianjue said from the side: "No problem, Ji Yao can handle it, so you don't need to worry."

Shen Jiyao smiled, and said very conceitedly: "That is, although they are three restaurants, the dishes they cook are almost the same, it's just that the taste is better depending on which one. I will find some ingredients these days. Time to knock them all down."

Only then did everyone feel relieved. Qi Xuan over there used chopsticks to count the remaining peanuts on the plate and put them into his mouth, while smiling at their conversation. People are not difficult, after three days, it is estimated that there will be a good show to watch.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help raising the corners of his lips and smiling.

He thought that brothers were submissive and fragile, but this time he saw a wonderful person.

Everyone is thinking about the cooking competition. On the other hand, Shen Jiyao has no worries on his face. He has never taken this matter to heart, and he forgot about it when he turned his back. He will do what he should do tonight What, it's just a notice posted that it will be closed in three days and they will go to fight. The diners in the store talked about it, and some people said that they would go to cheer for him at that time. Shen Jiyao smiled and thanked them one by one. everyone.

The next day.

Shen Jiyao just went to open the door after preparing the ingredients, and there was already a group of diners gathered outside the door.

Shen Jiyao was stunned for a moment, seeing so many people blocking the door at first glance was unavoidably frightened, he looked at the crowd and said: "Why did you come to guard the door so early, you should have knocked on the door just now, so there is no need I have been waiting outside the door for so long, please come inside first."

A group of people walked and said: "Isn't this here to line up? The shopkeeper said yesterday that there are new dishes coming out. We were afraid that we would not be able to eat them, so we came early, because we were afraid that we would not be able to eat anything if we were late." .”

Shen Jiyao couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was for this, but what I have to say is that everyone's trip was worthwhile, Shen Jiyao's marinated chicken legs and chicken feet were very successful, the brine was well prepared, and the stewed things It is both tasty and delicious, with a little spicy taste in it. When he stewed it, he put a few dried chilis in it and stewed it together. Unexpectedly, the taste was unexpectedly good, and he would never forget it after eating it once. The spicy duck wings sold in Juewei Duck Neck are even more delicious.

A group of people almost filled the tables and chairs downstairs. As soon as they sat down, they couldn't wait for Shen Jiyao to serve food. Shen Jiyao smiled and said, "Okay, but each person can only order one, and save some for the people who come later."

Everyone shouted: "Everything is up to you, everything is up to you, serve the food quickly, we can't wait."

Shen Jiyao called Zhang Yong and the others to greet the guests. He entered the kitchen and began to make a marinated platter with Lan Qianjue. He marinated a lot of things in total, including chicken wings, chicken feet, chicken gizzards, chicken liver and chicken legs, goose feet, goose wings and There was a lot of foie gras and goose gizzards. He also put two on the plate, and he also cut some foie gras, goose gizzards and chicken gizzards into it. After they were done, Shen Jiyao asked Zhang Yong and the others to bring them to the diners. eat.

Everyone looked at the marinated platter and couldn't stop looking at it. Where had they ever eaten such black and black meat? Naturally, they found it very strange. They studied it curiously for a while before they started to eat it.

As soon as the goose wings that were so tasty and soft entered their mouths, there were bursts of praises from around, praising the taste, and so on. Everyone gnawed the goose wings cleanly, looking at the appearance, it was probably in the This is the most satisfying time to eat.

Shen Jiyao couldn't help laughing with satisfaction when he saw that the lo mei was so popular.
