Married a scholar

▍There are still a lot of food to get out.

The clothes look a little weird, but after looking at them for a long time, they seem to be quite neat.

Meng Yining took a look, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to Xia Wenze in a low voice: "It's a bit weird to wear like this, but don't tell me, it feels okay?"

To be honest, he didn't want to get into this outfit either.The truth is that the clothes here are all wide-sleeved gowns, and no matter whether they are men or women, their hair almost hangs down.

If you want to create a different food city, besides eating is extremely important, hygiene is the next step.

First of all, the hair should not hang down. Because everyone here has long hair, rich people may wash their hair every day, but for rural people, it is considered diligent to wash their hair every three or four days.

Especially in the current state of water shortage.

So this is a must as a chef's hat. Stuffing your hair in the hat will save you from having to pull your hair from time to time.

Then there's the apron.

The chef here also has an apron, but it's not the same as theirs.

There are sleeves, wide sleeves is this trouble.

Sleeves are essential.

Finally, there are masks.

Well, this is also essential.

Meng Yining looked around and felt that it was all right, so he led the people to the entrance of the village.

Along the way, adults and children joined in the fun and ran along.

Especially the children who had tasted the food in Meng's house ran especially happily.

Some even chattered around a few chefs like tits.

At the entrance of the village, everyone separated.

The one in the food city stopped at the first building, and the one in the department store walked a short distance.

Pedestrians and carriages passing by on the official road couldn't help but slow down and look over here. Many people have long known that there will be two shops here.

Didn't expect it to open today after so many months?

Those who were interested parked their horse-drawn carts and ox carts on the side of the official road to make way for others.

"Is this going to open?" Someone came over to inquire.

"No, it opens today."

"I also said that I'm afraid it won't open. I've been waiting for several months."

"Why, are you waiting too?"

"Do you know what store it is?"

"I don't know, let's see."

There was a lot of chatter around, and some who knew it told the people on the other side that it was open for food, and some who didn't know it just asked people.

But whether they knew it or didn't know it, everyone was very interested and waited by the side.

Let alone whether to buy or not, it is human nature to join in the fun.

Meng Yining didn't keep everyone waiting too long. After the gong was struck, he and Xia Wenze uncovered the red cloth on the plaque one after another.

"Meng's Food City."

"Meng's Department Store."

"Yo, Food City can still understand, so what does the department store mean?"

"I don't know, let's go in and have a look?"

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze didn't say anything outside to welcome the guests. After uncovering the red cloth, the two stood on the side and let out the door.

Manager He came over, "Today is the opening day of our Mengshi Food City and department store supermarket. Today, all items are on sale at [-]% off. Welcome everyone to come and have a look."

Needless to say, Manager He, those who are interested have already gone to the two buildings.

The 24 chefs in the food city were already standing in front of their own stoves. When people who came in saw these uniformly dressed and clean people standing in front of the stoves, they all stopped at the same time.

The chefs looked calm, doing what they should do, and their movements were smooth and natural.

Not long after, various aromas wafted from the first floor of the Food City.

Attract more people to come here.

Department stores and supermarkets are no exception.

Inside there are groceries from the north and the south, food, clothing, everything that one expects to find, common and uncommon ones, which dazzles the eyes of those who come in.

On the official road, those who originally wanted to go to Shangqing Town also chose a place to stop.

Those who come to join in the fun, unless they are really cash-strapped, or more or less can not stand the desire to buy and buy some useful things.

Meng Yining and Xia Wenze went to the department store first to have a look. Seeing that everyone was in good order, they came to the Food City.

"I just ate something this morning, but smelling it, I always feel like I can eat more."

"This smell is too sweet."

"Daddy, I want to eat this pancake."

"Grandma, buy it for me, buy it for me."

When the two came in, the 24 booths were full of people, no matter adults or children, there was no one who was not hungry.

Meng Yining said: "Don't say it, I'm a little greedy too."

Xia Wenze's eyes were full of smiles, "Why don't I line up for you to buy? What do you want to eat?"

"Grilled squid whiskers." Meng Yining dragged Xia Wenze to the teppanyaki.

As soon as I came here, I heard someone ask, "What kind of squid is this, is it delicious?"

"Do we actually have seafood here?"

"Can this be eaten?"

There are quite a lot of people around, and the first person to eat crabs has not yet.

Meng Yining said from the side: "Please make way."

"Hey, little brother, do you want to try this, what squid?"

"Yes, please make way for this aunt." Meng Yining walked to the stall with a smile, "Come on, give me a skewer of squid whiskers, squid mouth."

The people on the side were waiting on the sidelines, and some people didn't leave even if they were swallowed by the scent, and watched with wide-eyed eyes.

Xia Wenze gave the money and waited with Meng Yining.

"thorn"

The spicy smell mixed with the unique aroma of seafood wafted away, and Meng Yining was amused to hear someone even swallowing their saliva.

"Here, the squid must and the squid mouth of the two of you."

"Thank you." Meng Yining took the squid's tail and gave the squid's mouth to Xia Wenze.

The two put the squid's whiskers and squid's mouth into their mouths almost simultaneously, and the people beside them stared at them with wide-eyed eyes.

Seeing that the two had eaten, he hurriedly asked: "How is it, is it delicious?"

"Yes, yes, how does it taste, can you eat it?"

"It's delicious, soft and chewy. Try it, it's not expensive anyway." Meng Yining pulled Xia Wenze out of the way.

Seeing that some people ate it and said it tasted good, a few of them who dared to try something new hurriedly went to ask for a bunch of the same.

Meng Yining ate the squid silk in a few mouthfuls, "Shall we go to another place to see?"

"Okay." Xia Wenze threw the stick into the trash can on the side, and followed Meng Yining to the place where the gluten was baked.

Today is the day to go to the market in Shangqing Town, one can imagine how many pedestrians come and go.

The people in the nearby department store and supermarket are pretty good. After the scent of the food city here wafts out of the windows along the wind, few passers-by on the official road come in to take a look.

And 90.00% of people will not leave empty-handed once they enter the Food City.

All the food in the Food City can be packed.

Some of them are not short of money, and after eating here, they will clamor to pack a portion and take it away if they find it delicious.

Those who are shy in their pockets will grit their teeth and buy some cheap roasted gluten, roasted vegetables, etc. to taste.

Meng Yining and the others ate several things, and when they felt full, they went to the second floor and sat down to rest in the private room reserved for them.

The first floor of the food city is for eating, and there are also open tables and chairs in the middle aisle.

But there are so many people and smoke downstairs, some people with identities are definitely not willing to stay downstairs.

Hence the second floor.

The second floor is divided into two parts.

One is the open tables and chairs. Of course, they are not completely open, they are all separated by curtains.

The second is the box.

Not to mention, when the two came up, they had already seen many people sitting on the second floor.The table was not empty either.

There was no outsider in the box, so Meng Yining took ice cream out to eat. "The weather here is getting hotter, I think ice cream can be produced. And the fruit forest on Jiajiao Mountain can also be used."

The fruit forest on the Jiajiao Mountain side has already blossomed and bear fruit this year, and it can be said to be fruitful.

Fruity smoothies are a must.

"Are we going to look for that saltpeter?" The nobles of the northern aristocratic families all have ice cellars, and they can store enough ice in winter, so that they can be used in the next summer.

But in the south, even snow is rarely seen, so there is naturally no ice.

But he heard from Ning'er that saltpeter can make ice.

It's just that he has never seen saltpeter.

"There's no rush for this. I'll ask my brother and the others to get some saltpeter. We'll find time to find saltpetre when we're busy here." It's not easy to find saltpeter. Can look elsewhere.

"Hmm." Xia Wenzhe also scooped up a green ice ball and put it into his mouth, the cool taste was almost refreshing from his mouth to his stomach.

"There is also milk tea, I want to make it too." Meng Yining said while eating ice cream: "It's just that milk tea is not easy to make, and the powder here is not easy to make." Not everything can be made here.

"But I can make cold shrimp and ice powder." In fact, ordinary milk tea can also be made. Raise some cows to milk, then boil the milk and tea leaves, and add various flavors, such as pearl fruit.It doesn't have to be the same as the milk tea in this world.

And compared to the milk tea in the present world, the milk tea made with pure milk is obviously better, but the cows are hard to find.

Here he had never seen a cow.

But milk tea is not busy, cold shrimp and ice powder can be made first.

Xia Wenze nodded, "These two foods are the most suitable for now." It's hot, cold shrimp and ice powder are more refreshing.

"Well, and these two things are very simple, there are ice powder seeds in Daqingshan." He had seen ice powder seeds in Daqingshan.

Simple means cheap and has a wider audience.

The two of them didn't go back at noon, but ordered a Mala Tang directly.

The Malatang here is similar to that in Borderlands, but there are more varieties here. After all, it is the time for fresh vegetables to come out. Compared with winter, there are naturally more choices of fresh vegetables and meat.

What's more, Meng Yining specially asked people to make a lot of fish balls, pork balls, vegetable balls, radish balls, etc., even squid balls.

"Here's the ice, we can make some more meatballs for Second Brother Liu and the others to go to the border." There are too few supplies in winter at the border. There is no shortage of meat in Malatang, but there are few vegetables. Of course, they are not here There are many tricks.

It was too cold, and he didn't have that much thought to do it.

But now that it's out, when the saltpeter is brought over, some of these balls can be frozen and transported to the border.

As soon as he opened his mind, Meng Yining felt that there were still many simple foods that could be made.

Stinky tofu is definitely indispensable, as well as red bean double skin milk, yogurt powder, hot and sour rice noodles and so on.

"There are too many things that can be made." Meng Yining dug a hockey puck from Xia Wenze's bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Take your time." Xia Wenze dug one and fed him directly, "We have a lot of time right now."

"Yeah." Meng Yining nodded, and swallowed the ice puck in his spoon.

Don't worry, he will slowly make out these foods.

Now that he has no worries, he can do as much as he wants.

Thinking of something, Meng Yining frowned.
