I rely on pancakes to become rich [farming]

The scholar subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but the cook laughed: "No hurry, it's not over yet."

He sprinkled some unknown powder on the crab meat and handed it to the old man: "Jiang Weng, roast it."

The old man opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his free left hand, and waved it lightly on the crab. A red light flashed in his hand, and the surface of the crab on the plate quickly turned a layer of burnt yellow, as if it had been burnt by gunpowder, emitting A faint burnt aroma.

The frail scholar was a little dumbfounded: This, is this the rumored martial arts?But don't the gentlemen of the academy say that most people in the Jianghu who know martial arts are vulgar, murderous, and vicious?He also told us to stay away immediately when we encounter people from the Jianghu!

——The old and the young in front of me don't seem to have that kind of feeling at all!

"Grilled and steamed crabs, you two take your time." The cook handed them over with a smile.

The two scholars took it, walked to the square table and sat down, looked at each other hesitantly, not knowing whether to speak or not.

——Is there any medicine for you?I heard that there are many strange drugs in the world of martial arts...

After hesitating for a moment, the frail scholar smelled the fresh scent of crabs on the plate, couldn't help it, and gritted his teeth: "It doesn't matter, I'll eat first!"

——Thinking that under the watchful eyes of everyone, those two Jianghu people would not really dare to use drugs to harm people, right?

——The taste of this crab is really delicious!

Pick up a piece of crab meat with chopsticks, and the surface is baked by the Jiang Weng to form a hard yellow layer. In the mouth, there is not only the softness and sweetness of steamed crabs, but also the crispy taste of grilled crabs, and the powder is unknown. The material also has a charming aroma, which makes people unable to stop after taking a bite; and the frail scholar was surprised to find that the crab's shell looks hard, but it is actually very fragile. Crack the crab shells into pieces.

His companion couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing that he started to eat, he also moved his hands. The two of them spoke in one mouthful. After a while, the two crabs were eaten clean.

After eating two crabs, the frail scholar took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth. Not only did he not feel satisfied, but he wanted to eat more.

They couldn't help looking at the little cook.

The handsome chef was making steamed eggs for a woman with a young child. He cracked open one end of the egg, poured some warm water mixed with seasonings into it, stretched a chopstick in and stirred it for a while, and then mushy the broken end of the egg. I poured some glutinous rice paste, put it on a piece of grooved hardwood, covered it with a cover and steamed it for a while as if steaming crabs for them, and handed the whole egg to the excited child.

This ingenious approach amazed the two scholars.

They couldn't help queuing up again, and ordered a lot more food. While watching the little chef's beautiful movements, while tasting the delicious food made with only two small shovels, it felt worse than guessing several lantern riddles correctly. Be comfortable.

When the two of them left the booth clutching their full bellies, they realized that they originally wanted to elegantly guess lantern riddles on Suian Street, stroll around lanterns, and maybe meet a lady from a high family. On the warm Lantern Festival night, a private promise for life...

——As a result, now they smell of oily smoke, their stomachs are full, but their wallets are empty, and they haven't guessed a single lantern riddle, let alone the lady Gaomen visiting the lantern festival.

Only the fragrance left on each other's sleeves proved what they did just now.

——It stands to reason that there should be some residual powder smell from the girl's house...

——No, smelling the sleeves, I feel like going back to eat again...

The frail scholar couldn't help hiccupping, turned his head and glanced in awe at the plaque hanging on the restaurant behind the booth, and remembered the name of the restaurant:

Assorted food.

...

When all the prepared ingredients were sold out, and the disappointing customers who didn't eat well also dispersed, Yan Moji shook his sore arm, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Jiang who was slightly pale by the side. The old man smiled and said, "Jiang Weng, thank you for your hard work."

The old man Jiang withdrew his arm, his internal force was traced back, and his voice was a little hoarse: "My boss is polite."

Yan Moji saw that he didn't seem to be in a good condition, and was a little worried about whether the old man Jiang could do the job of heating without fire, and asked, "Are you all right? It's tiring to control the heat of the iron plate?"

Old man Jiang waved his hands weakly, found a place to sit down and adjusted his breath.

——In fact, he is not particularly tired by controlling the temperature alone, but smelling the various delicacies made by this little shop at a close distance makes him always distracted and greedy, and the internal air circulation is easy to go wrong...

——But it's too embarrassing to say this, let Xiaodong think that he is not good at martial arts.

At this time, Ji Mingwu, who had been doing preliminary processing of Yan Moji's ingredients in the shop, came out, looked at Yan Moji who was constantly rubbing his shoulders, and the corners of his eyes softened slightly: "Would you like to take a look?"

Yan Moji was taken aback: "What are you looking at?"

"Lantern."

"Are there still lanterns?" Yan Moji looked around, "Isn't everyone gone?"

A smile appeared on Ji Mingwu's face: "There are still some at the Town God's Temple."

Let's visit the lanterns with Brother Wu!

Yan Moji's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

Ji Mingwu handed the towel to Yan Moji: "Wipe your hands, let's go together."

Yan Moji had never visited the Lantern Festival in his two lifetimes.

In his previous life, he was either busy with his studies or with his work. After opening the store, the rest day in the eyes of ordinary people turned out to be a busier day for him. Therefore, he only watched the Lantern Festival on the TV news or in the video. In fact, he never saw it. have been.

Following the already sparse crowd, Yan Moji and Ji Mingwu walked side by side to the Town God's Temple.

There were also some bold girls and even teenagers on the road. Seeing Ji Mingwu's handsome face lit up, they leaned over and wanted to strike up a conversation, but when they saw Ji Mingwu's right hand leaning on a cane, their eyes turned to pity again.

Ji Mingwu looked calm and didn't react at all; Yan Moji was a little worried about his brother Wu's mood, so he looked at him frequently.

But soon Yan Moji was attracted by the lantern.

It's almost midnight now, but there are still many lanterns in Chenghuang Temple.

Paper-tied lanterns of various colors, silk-tied lanterns, hexagonal, seven-handed, eight-scenery... The petal-like lamps are painted with exquisite ladies or landscape paintings, and the candles burning inside emit a gentle brilliance.

It was the first time to participate in the Lantern Festival. Even though Yan Moji had been cooking teppanyaki all night, he still felt very excited. He dragged Ji Mingwu around, guessed several lantern riddles, and went to a few stalls selling snacks to try the different ones. taste.

It has to be said that Yan Moji himself was used to eating machine-processed food in his previous life, and now these purely handmade delicacies make him feel fresh, and also provide him with a lot of inspiration to improve his craftsmanship.

After all, it is winter, and most of these snacks are rice cakes, desserts, and meat, and there are almost no out-of-season fruits and vegetables.

However, at an unremarkable candied haws stall, Yan Moji was surprised to find that there were some berries that were not seen in winter wrapped in syrup for sale.

Talking with the young stall owner, Yan Moji discovered that in this era, there are already mature design and application of winter warming sheds, and it is not considered an industry secret. The only problem with not being widely promoted is...the cost Too high.

Without electric heating in modern society, heating in ancient times was entirely dependent on burning charcoal, and many crops could not stand the smoke, so they could only use the most exquisite smokeless charcoal, resulting in a very high cost for a winter warming greenhouse, which can only be used by princes and nobles. afford it.

The brothers of the stall owner's family planted some out-of-season fruits and vegetables for the King Qi Mansion in Qingzhou City. They would pick some small or insect-bitten fruits and sell them by themselves. These perks are defaulted.

"Don't look at these fruits, they taste pretty good." The young stall owner pointed at the candied haws and showed off, "My elder brother relies on the craftsmanship in this greenhouse to supply fresh fruits and vegetables to Prince Qi's mansion, and now he can be regarded as a small fortune. Yes, last year I brought my father from my hometown to live together as a family."

Yan Moji smiled and complimented: "That's really enviable."

After chatting with the stall owner, Yan Moji felt that he had gained a lot.He is now considering setting up a constant temperature greenhouse, and he also asked if there was any suitable field when he was in the tooth shop.

For assorted food, since an old Jiang Jiang who is a cow and a horse is caught, the heat with the highest cost in a normal winter warming greenhouse is the least costly.Judging from the experience Yan Moji got from Miss Wu, it should be no problem for old man Jiang to support a few sheds with his fire and yang energy.

Yan Moji secretly decided that after the Lantern Festival, the constant temperature greenhouse must be built as soon as possible. Fresh vegetables are still very attractive in this season.

In the end, Yan Moji pulled Ji Mingwu to a small stall. The stall sold thinly sliced ​​roast duck, wrapped in sweet noodle sauce in the middle of the noodle cake. The duck meat was relatively oily, and it looked oily through the noodle cake. Very tempting.

After buying two copies, Yan Moji took a sip and his eyes lit up: "Brother Wu, this roast duck tastes really good."

Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Ji Mingwu also took a sip, nodded and said, "It's okay."

While eating the delicious roast duck, Yan Moji suddenly remembered his past experience in the small town, and smiled at Ji Mingwu as he walked: "Speaking of which, although I have never eaten the sauced duck made by Chef You in the town, I smell it. The taste should be quite good, Brother Wu, what do you think?"

Ji Mingwu shook his head: "I have never eaten either."

"Unfortunately, if he concentrates on improving his culinary skills, he might be able to go a step further." Yan Moji shook his head regretfully, "His cooking skills are pretty good."

If the craftsmanship is not good, I can't afford to be a chef in Baishanlou.Just seeing that Chef You is narrow-minded, jealous and capable, and that the shopkeeper of Baishanlou can tolerate him, one knows that he does have some real skills.

Ji Mingwu looked indifferent, and only said one sentence: "If you can't concentrate, your future achievements will be limited."

I went to the Lantern Festival with Brother Wu, although I just caught up with him, Yan Moji still felt much better physically and mentally.

When Yan Moji was about to wash up when he returned to his residence, he saw Ji Mingwu patted the chair: "Sit down."

Yan Moji was a little strange, went to sit down, raised his head slightly: "Brother Wu?"

Ji Mingwu stood behind him, put his hands lightly on his shoulders, spewed out his inner strength, and helped Yan Moji pinch his shoulders.

Yan Moji suddenly remembered that on the night when the first Assorted Food store opened, his back was sore from a busy day, and his brother Wu also silently patted the chair to let him "sit down", and then helped himself like this He squeezed his shoulders.

However, it happened less than a year ago, but Yan Moji felt as if it had been a long time in retrospect, and a faint sense of warmth emerged in his heart. He leaned on the backrest, looked up and saw Ji Mingwu's sharp-edged chin, and couldn't help laughing stand up.

After a while, Yan Moji felt the soreness in his shoulders relieved a lot, turned his arms around, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, your massage skills are almost comparable to your sculpting level."

Ji Mingwu withdrew his hand, glanced at him, and went back to the bedroom leaning on crutches.

Yan Moji smiled, tugged at the crumpled clothes on his body after a busy day, smelled all the smells of oily smoke, seafood, and the greasy smell of the last roast duck he ate, wrinkled his nose in disgust, and took off his clothes. Come down and get ready for a wash.

While rubbing soap locusts on his clothes, Yan Moji suddenly remembered a detail that he had overlooked, and frowned slightly.

——If he remembered correctly, the day Wang Er was designing himself in Baishanlou, when he came home, he smelled exactly the same smell as the sauced duck made by Chef You in Baishanlou.

——When he asked Brother Wu if he had gone to eat sauced duck, Brother Wu obviously answered "Taste it".

——Why did Brother Wu say today that he has never eaten Chef You's sauced duck?

...

The teppanyaki at the Lantern Festival can be regarded as making the assorted food famous in Qingzhou City.

In order to open the store as soon as possible and avoid losing his reputation for too long, Yan Moji took the time to make all the preparations for opening the store, such as redecorating, customizing grilled fish pots, buying charcoal, etc.

In addition to grilled fish, Yan Moji also made marinade and made a lot of marinade.

Once the marinade is adjusted, braised goods are a very simple and delicious cooking process. It is convenient to make and tastes good, and it can be sold alone or as a current dish for grilled fish.

Several other people were not idle either. Although Ji Mingwu joined the assorted food to perform knife skills, he could still do some carpentry; Needless to say, as the backbone of Assorted Food, he will take care of big and small things wherever he needs them.

Even the old man Jiang, who was not trusted for the time being, was arranged by Yan Moji to do a lot of chores.

I don't know if he has resigned himself to his fate. Old man Jiang is no longer so gloomy when he works, his face looks much better than before, and he shows up at the dinner table on time when it's time to eat, unlike when he was just arrested, he was dragging his feet pull.

After such intensive preparations, the first store of Assorted Foods in Qingzhou City finally opened.

After the usual gong beating to encourage dragon and lion dance, Yan Moji announced loudly in front of the crowd that all drinks in the assorted food will be half price today, and the first five customers will be free of food and drink, which immediately attracted countless guests.

After the Lantern Festival, the little chef who used two small shovels and an iron plate without fire to make all kinds of exquisite delicacies has become a topic of discussion among people who have visited the Lantern Festival.

And the reputation of the shop "Assorted Food" corresponding to the cook also spread.

Most of the customers who entered the store today came for the legendary teppanyaki, but after entering the store, they didn't see any teppanyaki. They were a little disappointed: "Man, where's your teppanyaki?"

The new guy who had been trained by Yan Moji in advance smiled as lovably as Yan Moji: "Guest officers, our teppanyaki is made every Friday every month. You might as well try our grilled fish hot pot today. It’s also a must!”

It's all here, and the new store is opening again. The customers are looking for a table to sit down. A waiter has come over to pour tea and help them order with a smile.

"What kind of fish do you guys eat? Silver carp or grass carp?"

"What flavor do you want? There are sauerkraut, spicy, and chicken soup!"

"What side dishes do you want? Thousand sheets, tofu, fish balls, radishes..."

While waiting for the grilled fish, the staff also recommended the assorted stewed lo-mei to these diners. As soon as the crystal clear and fragrant lo-mei was served, the diners who ordered the food immediately felt their saliva start to secrete.

——Why is the lo mei in this store so fragrant?Never had it before!

——Ask the buddy later, can you take some of this lo mei in a package, and give it to your family to taste when you go home!

From the back kitchen, a list kept passing around. Ji Mingwu glanced at the list, and two fish-scale knives were flying in his hands. In just a moment, a fish was cleaned up, and the thorns and meat were scattered by his internal force. , to ensure that the fish will not be broken during the grilling process, and at the same time, the fish meat and spines can be separated, making it more convenient to eat.

The fish processed by Ji Mingwu was passed to Yan Moji and grilled on fire.Grilling fish is relatively not so hard. You can grill many pieces at one time. The test is the grasp of the heat and memory.

These two points happened to be what Yan Moji was good at.

When the fish is grilled, put it on the bottom of the pot, pour the corresponding soup, and then spread a layer of sauce, and then it can be served on the table.

There are also some hot pot restaurants in Qingzhou City, which are quite popular in winter, and many people have eaten them; but the bottom of the pot of this assorted food is square and flat, and there is a fragrant grilled fish inside, which makes diners Some eye-opening.

In addition, Yan Moji also sent two or three small pancakes that were folded squarely to each table, which opened the eyes of diners who had never eaten this kind of parchment paper, and some of them didn't know how to eat it.

Yan Moji's grilled fish can conquer the old man Yuan who has eaten countless delicacies in the Yuan family. Naturally, it is no problem to conquer these ordinary diners. Soon the sound of chopsticks clinking with bowls can be heard in the shop.

After eating the grilled fish, adding soup and shabu-shabu, and finally cooking a handful of noodles, even dipping the flexible pancake in the fish soup, it is extra delicious after soaking up the soup. Originally, I just came here to join in the fun because of the fame of Teppanyaki In the end, all the diners supported their waists and walked out the door very satisfied.

Throughout the day, Qian Ping and old man Jiang, two martial arts masters, ran back and forth to purchase new live fish and ingredients, three or four times;

Feng Wenlan, who settles accounts at the front desk, has always dealt with medicinal pestles and herbs. Today, she has collided with the abacus countless times. If it weren't for the fragrant lo mei on the counter for her to make snacks, she might not be able to persist up.

When the moon and stars were thinning, the last diner left with satisfaction, and all the waiters and cooks in the shop heaved a sigh of relief, each showing signs of fatigue.

"Thank you for your hard work today." Yan Moji was actually very tired, but he still rubbed his shoulders and walked out of the back kitchen, smiling to appease these people who accompanied him to "open up wasteland" for the first time.

A few guys hurriedly said: "My boss is being polite, it's all our duty."

——The monthly money that this owner gave them was much more than other stores!If you stay in this store for a few more days, you will have enough money to go back and marry a wife!

——And look at the business of this store is so good, I'm afraid it will make more and more money in the future!

On the other hand, Feng Wenlan rubbed her wrist, walked over gracefully, and complained to Yan Moji, "Master, the little girl has never done such a heavy job before...Look..."

At this time, Ji Mingwu also came out from the back kitchen, and gave her a faint look.

Feng Wenlan quickly straightened her face, and said firmly, "How do you think I'm doing today? If there's anything wrong, just say it!"

Yan Moji didn't pay attention to what was behind him, and was a little confused by Feng Wenlan's different tone before and after, but he still replied: "You have worked hard today, I will invite a special accountant in two days, and you will be with Jiang Weng later Let's go build a shed."

Feng Wenlan's face froze.

——It’s true that she doesn’t want to plan, but she doesn’t want to grow vegetables either!Growing herbs and watering vegetables are two completely different things!

——Put out your identity as a direct disciple of Qingsang Valley, what kind of sect and aristocratic family will you not be well provided for?I have to settle accounts and grow vegetables here...

——She shouldn't have traveled all the way to this shop just out of curiosity to work incognito!Looks like it's time to go back to school...

At this time, Yan Moji asked the waiter to bring out a few pots of grilled fish from the back kitchen, and said with a smile: "There are still a few fish left, let's cook together, let's eat before we leave."

Smelling the aroma of the grilled fish, Feng Wenlan calmed down just as his mind was wavering, and comforted himself: Forget it, forget it, I’m here, for the sake of my master’s craftsmanship, I’ll stay a little longer Well... As for growing vegetables, isn't there old man Jiang who is a coolie?

The boss said that he joined the mixed food as a prisoner, so the dirty work is naturally his!

...

The reputation of grilled fish with assorted foods quickly spread. In the cold winter, the market for aquatic products was not very good, but after combining it with hot pot, many people were attracted by the steaming hot pot and ordered a pot of spicy soup. Bottom, warm and refreshing,

Every few days, Mixed Food will perform a Teppanyaki show.The small shovel flying up and down, and the iron plate that can grill meat without an open flame, once became a hot topic in Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou City is worthy of being a big city. Even if the grilled fish hot pot is not cheap, there are still many people who are willing to pay, and they have to queue up.The income in the past few days was more than ten times higher than that in the town, which made all the guys, including Qian Ping, speechless and raised their hands to celebrate.

However, Yan Moji was not dazzled by the usual traffic of new store openings.Now the grilled fish and teppanyaki are only earned by gimmicks these days. If they don’t think about making progress, their income will definitely drop slowly, and finally return to mediocrity.

Many restaurants are actually just making money from this hammer business. They will do it for a year and a half, close their doors, change their stores and change their names, and then make another wave.

But Yan Moji wanted to make the brand of mixed food into an evergreen tree, so of course he wouldn't do that.

These days, he began to care about the constant temperature greenhouse.

Fresh vegetables are definitely a powerful weapon in this weather, not to mention that in this era, most of them can only be enjoyed by princely families.

However, Yan Moji's constant temperature greenhouse plan encountered some problems at the beginning.

The author has something to say: woo woo woo, the more I live, the more I go back. The Chinese teacher in high school has used the idioms that are all wrong. I am sorry for my Chinese teacher and little angels (TvT)
