I open a restaurant in Xiujie

The man flung down the two spirit stones and ran out of the shop screaming wildly, with a crazy look of shaking his head, just like Fan Jinzhongju.

Outside the store door, thick clouds gathered in the sky, and the foundation-building thunder calamity was quietly enveloping.

Bai Junda was so angry that he wanted to die.What a peerless genius, that's entirely due to the restaurant's potatoes. They gave the best and most suitable meals for each other with sincerity, but it turned out that they didn't appreciate it?

Who is this?

Angrily clearing the table, Bai Junda murmured: "Can our restaurant come up with a system to put this kind of white-eyed wolf on the blacklist, and we won't accept them in the future. Let them drink the northwest wind."

After calming down for a while, Bai Junda discovered that besides being angry, there was actually a trace of depression and admiration in his heart that he didn't want to admit. After all, he had broken through Qi training for a while, but he had never found the way to build a foundation. .

Yu Xiaotan went out for an assessment, and when he came back, his cultivation surpassed him, which made Bai Junda very uncomfortable.

The little fat man glanced at the unfinished potato shreds on the table, and said regretfully, "Oh, I eat these potatoes every day, so why didn't I make a breakthrough."

"How long has it been since you broke through Qi training?"

Ji Chuchen walked out of the back hall, just in time to hear Bai Junda's complaint, and couldn't help laughing: "The young man just now is older than you, and he is holding an expensive sound-transmitting talisman. High in the middle."

"Such people have grown up soaked in panacea since childhood, and some even started to practice in infancy, but they are still practicing Qi. It is indeed enough for him to worry."

"It's only been a month since your breakthrough in Qi training. Does that seem like a long time? Do you know how long an average sect disciple takes from Qi training to foundation building?"

"I don't care how long they have been," Bai Junda muttered while wiping the table, "I only know that Yu Xiaotan only used it for half a month, what other people have nothing to do with me...By the way, he has a lot of leftovers on this plate, it's really It's a pity, let me eat it?"

"...No need."

Ji Chuchen straightened a potted plant in the corner, and took out a rag to wipe the floating dust on the window lattice: "Take the leftovers to the chicken coop, and make up for the three hard-working hens. Yu Xiaotan said to make it for us tonight." Big meal, are you sure you want to eat a plate of potato shreds now to fill yourself up?"

Hearing the word "big meal", Bai Junda's eyes lit up.

He didn't worry about whether to break through or not, his eyes were full of the so-called big meal, and he salivated: "What, what is Yu Xiaotan planning to do?"

"I don't know either," Ji Chuchen said with a smile, "He said it was a secret."

……

This day's turnover was about zero, but Bai Junda was very happy, and Ji Chuchen and Uncle Wang didn't seem to care about it.In other words, since Yu Xiaotan said that he wanted to make a "big meal", several people's thoughts were not on the restaurant business.

After nightfall, it really was a big meal. Yu Xiaotan tried the hot pot ingredients extracted from the system for the first time, and felt uncomfortable eating in the lobby, so he asked Bai Junda to move the tables and chairs to the small courtyard and have an open-air mandarin duck hot pot.

The bottom of the pot is divided into milky white fungus soup and fiery red spicy soup. After the lid is lifted, the steam rolls up, and the boiling water bubbles gurgling and bursting. In the bottom material, there are peppers, orange peel, longan, yam, wolfberry, green onion, ginger... In the undulating water waves, the fragrance wafts far away.

Mutton and beef are sliced ​​into thin slices, neatly arranged on a white porcelain plate. There are also meat dishes such as hairy tripe and duck intestines. Vegetarian dishes are headed by potato slices, with spinach, enoki mushrooms, lettuce and so on.

Bai Junda impatiently took the beef slices and dipped them into the hot oil. His mouth was full of red oil, and he gasped for breath while looking at the sky: "Yu Xiaotan, it's not dark yet, so we're closed, isn't it too hot?" A little willful?"

Yu Xiaotan scooped up a bowl of fungus soup bottom for Uncle Wang, and looked back and said, "You're right, how about if we don't eat this hot pot, how about we work overtime until Xushi?"

Bai Junda: "..."

How is that possible!

Pulling him away from the hot pot now is killing him.Bai Junda quickly made a gesture of "I was wrong, I shut up", and began to concentrate on chewing.

Uncle Wang was holding a bowl of fried lettuce, and murmured vaguely: "Young master, look at this spicy fried beef..."

Yu Xiaotan smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, the spicy taste hurts the spleen and stomach. If you really want to eat it, I'll get some clear soup and rinse it in before you eat—but you can't eat too much."

"I have always had a good spleen and stomach," the old man protested weakly, "Don't look at me now, when I was young, I didn't dare to eat anything, such as Maitreya Bihong, such sharp-clawed green howling ducks, and those dragons Ah, phoenix..."

Yu Xiaotan couldn't help but stuff a bowl of green vegetables into the old man's hand.

Uncle Wang: "..."

Showing aggrieved little eyes...

Immediately bowed his head and took a bite, it was so delicious!

In fact, the hot pot clear soup is well done, no less than the chili base.

Yu Xiaotan added various fungi and beef bones to the clear soup. After stewing for a long time, the whole soup was milky white like milk. Every pore in my body is open, as if I am in a steaming hot spring.

"Brother Ji, try this."

Yu Xiaotan picked up a homemade "pissing beef ball" and put it in Ji Chuchen's bowl.

This is the result of his pondering all afternoon.

The most important thing about beef balls is the process of crushing tendons, but now that he has become a monk, this arduous process has become much easier. Yu Xiaotan carefully beat the beef into a meat paste, added salt, pepper, cooking wine, etc. The broth frozen into small pieces is wrapped in the meat paste, boiled in the pot and formed into balls.

At this time, Ji Chuchen took a bite, and the rich soup immediately burst out. The delicious broth and the spicy oil on the surface of the beef balls were intertwined, like a duet of ice, snow and fire.

The beef ball itself is also delicious, full of elasticity, soft and tender, and articulate after entering the stomach.

Just don't like it too much.

"Don't patronize us either," Ji Chuchen picked up some slices of hot-boiled mutton and put them in Yu Xiaotan's bowl, "Eat quickly, be careful that Bai Junda will snatch them all up in a while."

Yu Xiaotan said cheerfully: "Brother Ji, I'm the chef, and the most important thing to me is that you enjoy your meal. By the way, I'll tell you secretly, I also prepared a dessert, which is definitely my culinary skill." The pinnacle work, if anyone is too full after eating hot pot, he may not be able to eat dessert."

When he said this, he turned his back to Bai Junda and blinked silently at Ji Chuchen.

Ji Chuchen understood immediately, and nodded repeatedly while suppressing a smile: "Then I have to eat more slowly."

Their voices were very soft, but they were sitting very close to each other. The evening breeze blew their voices into Bai Junda's ears, and the little fat man who was engrossed in eating was taken aback for a moment: "???"

And dessert!

Although meat is expensive, sweets are more expensive, Bai Junda looked at the pieces of mutton in the pot reluctantly, feeling hesitant.

Ji Chuchen's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, the chopsticks held in his hands were like the swiftest sharp swords, Bai Junda hesitated for a moment, only to see a shadow flash, the red soup rose and fell, and the sliced ​​meat disappeared immediately, and when he reappeared, Ji Chuchen had already caught him in Yu Xiaotan in the bowl.

Ji Chuchen also blinked at Yu Xiaotan.

In the glow of the sky, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the fresh and tender meat fragrance wafted in the air, seeming to be mixed with a hint of sweetness.

At this time, there was a "bang bang" knocking sound from the closed restaurant door.

Yu Xiaotan rushed out the door and shouted: "Sorry, it's closed!"

The voice outside the door paused for a moment, and then there was a series of clear laughter: "Yu Xiaotan, it closes so early, isn't your restaurant too casual?"

It was their familiar voice.

Yu Xiaotan's eyes brightened slightly, and hurriedly ran to open the door.

Sure enough, there were Che Yunwen and Qiongqing outside the door.

"Brother Che, have you finished your retreat?" Yu Xiaotan looked at him a few times, "Is it the consecrated monk now?"

With a gentle smile on Che Yunwen's face, he shook his head and said, "No."

Yu Xiaotan was slightly taken aback.

Impossible, it will never be a breakthrough failure...

Suddenly Qiongqing jumped out, poking half of his head out from Che Yunwen's shoulder: "Master is super perceptive, this retreat has yielded a lot, directly crossed the consecration, and condensed the golden core."

Jindan period!

Yu Xiaotan was overjoyed: "That's a big improvement, Big Brother Che, Senior Qiongqing, come in quickly, we just happen to celebrate together tonight."

Che Yunwen blushed: "No, it's all thanks to your potatoes and soy sauce. In fact, this time I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed into the door by Qiongqing from behind.

"Let's talk about it later, this rice is really delicious." Qiongqing saw the hot pot when she entered the door, her eyes sparkled, "What is this, boiled vegetables?"

Yu Xiaotan smiled and said, "It's hot pot."

He moved two chairs from the lobby, greeted Qiongqing and Che Yunwen to sit down, and went to the kitchen to cut a large plate of mutton rolls, a large plate of lettuce and winter melon.

The round table is not too big, and with two pairs of chopsticks, the people sitting at the table are crowded together.

But everyone just felt excited.

Qiongqing has stayed in the secret realm for too long, and knows nothing about folk life. This is the first time he has eaten hot pot.The lettuce and winter melon cut by Yu Xiaotan were originally prepared for him, but he didn't expect this out-of-body monster to be completely dismissive of the vegetables. The rattan turned into long chopsticks and quickly reached the bottom of the pot, picking up slices of hot-boiled meat.

He had a big appetite, and he ate fast, and within a few breaths, he ate half of the bowl, which made Bai Junda's heart ache: "Boss, slow down, save some for me!"

With her cheeks bulging, Qiongqing looked up at Bai Junda.

This glance made Bai Junda's back stiff, his hairs standing on end, his calves softened and he almost gave Qiongqing his knees: "...Boss, I was wrong, it's all yours, it's all yours."

Yu Xiaotan looked amused.

What a fat boy who judged the situation.

However, Yu Xiaotan's eyes were stunned by Qiongqing's gobbling.Yu Xiaotan looked at the meat that bottomed out in an instant, and after thinking for a while, he ran to the kitchen to fetch a pot: "Senior Qiong, don't worry, there are still a lot."

Qiongqing smiled at him, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her bright eyes were as black as sandalwood.

"It's delicious," he sighed while eating, "How did you make it so delicious? I've eaten mutton before, and I was so ashamed that I couldn't get it out of my mouth when I smelled it."

Unlike these meats, after being rolled in spicy oil, they are tender and slippery, fat but not greasy, and the soup overflows with every bite, which makes people's blood boil after a few bites.

"If you like it, come to our restaurant often in the future."

Yu Xiaotan picked up the pot to add water to the pot, watched the peppers being washed into the soup noodles by boiling water, and asked, "Is the taste okay? Is it too spicy?"

"Spicy?" Qiongqing ate happily, waving her palm, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, give me some more pots—"

Before he finished speaking, Che Yunwen patted the back of his hand lightly.

"Qiong Qing, don't be so fierce, we're just foodies."

The young man smiled and gave Qiongqing a few slices of green vegetables: "The vegetables are delicious too, try it."

Qiongqing pursed her lower lip and nodded obediently.

Immediately, he reluctantly put down the shabu-shabu, lowered his head and gnawed on the vegetable leaves.

Yu Xiaotan was amazed by the sight of a big monster in the out-of-body stage who could easily destroy a mountain when he got angry, but now he was obedient as a child beside a Golden Core cultivator.

He tugged at the corner of Ji Chuchen's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "It feels like the relationship between them has gotten better after leaving the customs this time."

Ji Chuchen nodded in approval.

In fact, in the eyes of young people, what happened in this small courtyard is not a miracle?

Six people sat around a table and ate hot pot. Among them, they went out of their bodies and down to Qi training. The span was so wide, and there were even him and Uncle Wang, two mortals with no cultivation.The world of cultivation is so cruel, and the gap between immortals and mortals is as deep as a moat. This happy scene can only be seen in the small courtyard of Yu's restaurant.

And this hot pot...

Ji Chuchen didn't like to be lively before, and he was not a person who cared about his appetite.

But now a table of people is crowded in the yard, the sunset is falling on the fence and the green grass, the breeze is gentle, the laughter and the sound of the boiling water of the hot pot are mixed together, and the sound is like a song.

Yu Xiaotan snatched a piece of hairy belly from Bai Junda's chopsticks, Bai Junda lifted the plate in anger, but Yu Xiaotan calmed down with a few words;

Seeing the boy's mouth shape, he seemed to say the word "dessert", and in this short period of time, Qiongqing took advantage of Che Yunwen's inattention, and snatched a few pissing cow balls from Bai Junda's eyes;

He saw Uncle Wang imitating Qiongqing, taking advantage of Yu Xiaotan's inattention, and secretly stretched his chopsticks towards the spicy soup, but was caught by Yu Xiaotan who suddenly turned around...

There were many voices, the steam from the hot pot rose to the sky, and the cry of a tired bird returning to the mountain was heard not far away.

... The so-called world of fireworks is nothing more than that.

……

After a full meal, the whole table was full.

At this time, the sky was getting late, and the crescent moon slowly rose from the sky, jumped onto the branches, and cast a stream of white brilliance.

Yu Xiaotan cleaned up the leftovers, Ji Chuchen helped him move the tables and chairs into the house, Che Yunwen volunteered to do the dishes, but was pushed back by Yu Xiaotan in the name of "you are guests", and the matter of doing the dishes fell on the On Bai Junda's head.

Bai Junda didn't complain, and ran to wash the dishes happily.

This made Yu Xiaotan a little surprised.

It's rare that this person works so frankly.

Bai Junda was brushing the bowl, the spicy oil sticky at the corner of his mouth gleaming under the candlelight, he laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll take it for a walk. By the way, Yu Xiaotan, the dessert you mentioned..."

Yu Xiaotan looked at him with indescribable eyes: "Do you really think there are desserts?"

Bai Junda froze in place while washing the dishes: "...?"

"I've eaten so much, even if there is dessert, can you still eat it?" Yu Xiaotan said with a smile, "Clean up quickly, and go for a walk in the yard after packing."

Only then did Bai Junda come to his senses: "Fuck Yu Xiaotan, you said there are desserts, are you trying to trick me into eating less?"

"No, this is absolutely not possible. I even took a few bites away to make room for dessert—don't dump that pot, let me eat a few more bites!"

Yu Xiaotan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, I won't eat anything else tonight, I'll make some cups of tea for everyone later."

Seeing that Bai Junda still had a dissatisfied expression, Yu Xiaotan said helplessly, "I'll make you a dessert some other day, okay?"

Bai Junda raised three chubby fingers: "Three times."

"You're too short," Yu Xiaotan poured out the red chili oil, and threatened in a low voice, "Be careful, I'll dig out all the snacks you hid under the bed and throw them away."

Bai Junda: "!!!"

Bai Junda: "You, you know this too?"

Yu Xiaotan: "Nonsense."

A few days ago, Ji Chuchen sorted out the past accounts of the restaurant, and found that every time Bai Junda went out to buy, there was a slight discrepancy between what he bought and the accounts. Although it was only a small amount, Ji Chuchen got to the bottom of it. , and finally found a pile of snacks and debris under Bai Junda's bed.

There was nothing valuable, they were all sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, rose cakes, auspicious fruits and the like, and now they all became evidence of Bai Junda's greedy appetite for stealing food.

Yu Xiaotan sighed: "Xiaobai, you said I didn't make you hungry for a single meal, why did you still buy those things?"

Bai Junda lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye: "Isn't this... I can't help but be addicted to gluttony in the middle of the night..."

Besides, can eating and eating snacks be the same thing? They must not.

Yu Xiaotan scowled: "That's why you can't lose weight."

Bai Junda was wronged: "... I won't buy it in the future, okay?"

Now he can't buy it even if he wants to, Ji Chuchen's accountant has sharp eyes, and Bai Junda feels that if he touches a copper coin, the other party can immediately find out.

Another point is that compared with Yu Xiaotan's handicraft, the cakes he bought are nothing like that, that is to say, they are too gluttonous. Bai Junda used them to fill his appetite, but he actually didn't think those foods were delicious.

"It's not that you are not allowed to eat snacks..."

Yu Xiaotan sighed softly: "Forget it, tomorrow I will study how to make pastries, and you can just tell me what you want to eat in the future."

Bai Junda suddenly raised his head!

He stared at Yu Xiaotan closely, his eyes glowing: "Really?"

He has long wanted Yu Xiaotan to make dessert.

That's why he was so looking forward to it when he heard that there was dessert after dinner!

Yu Xiaotan's thought was not purely for Bai Junda.

The young man pondered for a long time, and always felt that the current Yu's restaurant lacked something light and easy to eat, which could quickly spread and expand the restaurant's reputation.

Complicated dishes can't achieve such an effect, so it would be nice to have some pastries.

and……

To be honest, Yu Xiaotan was eyeing the oranges that Bai Junda squeezed... Ah no, Fengling peel.

It should be good to make some steamed cakes, right?

……

At the same time, the few people lying lazy in the courtyard were also chatting.

Talking about the young monk who broke through eating potato shreds during the day, Ji Chuchen described the appearance of the other party's eyes above the top, and said with a wry smile: "He actually thought it was his own credit. If he could break through by himself, he would have broken through a long time ago." , why wait until today?"

Che Yunwen nodded in understanding, and then sighed: "It's just that looking at the Qixia world, most of the monks are such stubborn and conceited people. The restaurant in Xiaotan is not easy to manage."

After a pause, Che Yunwen's eyes suddenly brightened again.

"I thought of a way."
