Eleven Niang's days have been very tight recently, get up in the morning, practice a hundred big characters, and then read the book for half an hour, after reading the book, silently write out 1-2 kinds of recipes, let Li Mama to experiment, the current several dishes, especially sweet and sour pork ribs and Dongpo eggplant, have been unanimously loved by the Xu Mansion, so today Xu Zhongyan called Eleven Niang to the study, and discussed with her the idea of opening a restaurant.

After listening to the second uncle's proposal, Eleven Niang said: "The second uncle's idea, my niece is very supportive, I don't know when the second uncle plans to open? ”

Xu Zhongyan said: "That's not in a hurry, find the store, and decorate, why does it take more than a month, the second uncle called you over, just to discuss with you, if you look at the restaurant, how to divide our two rooms?"

"This-niece is all up to the second uncle. ”

Xu Zhongyan thought for a while and said, " To be honest, the second uncle doesn't have much money on hand now, so the money to open the restaurant, I plan to spend from the five thousand taels you gave me last time, so this has to be counted as your share, most of those recipes are also considered to be provided by you, and you are also counted as a share, but in terms of management, it is inconvenient for you to come forward as a girl, this is the work of me and Brother Jun, and the old mansion, although we have separated, but the old mansion is also said to be an elder, so I propose that my second room account for 50%, your fourth room accounts for 40%, and Mrs. Tai's side accounts for 10%, how about it？”

In the past, people in Shangyuan County often said that the second uncle was not filial, and it seems that it may not be, Eleven Niang thought to herself.

"The second uncle's proposal is very suitable for my niece. ”

"That's okay, let's just decide, Eleven Niang, you have worked so hard during this time, what, I see that there is a bookstore on the street in front, you go there to find it, buy it back if you have a suitable book, see if you can find a few more recipes, then our restaurant will be prosperous!"

Seeing that the second uncle was about to show his strengths, Eleven Niang smiled.

On the second day, Eleven Niang took Mama Zhou and Ji Shun to the bookstore on Qinglin Street.

Recently, the autumn harvest, Li Sanbao has taken the family and Jixiang back to Shangyuan County, and took care of the 100 acres of land for Eleven Niang, so there are not many people left around her, this time out, I wanted to take Xiao Xing out to see the scenery of this city, but Mama Zhou did not allow it, saying that Xiao Xing has a stable personality, and she wants to leave her in the courtyard to guard, Shi Niang had to obey Mama Zhou's wishes, but she was afraid that Xiao Xing would be lonely, so she left Xiao Tao behind.

The name of the bookstore is Xuehaiju, and when Eleven Niang saw the name of the store, she knew that it was taken from Han Yu's sentence "There is a road in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of the sea".

Fucheng is really different, the last time I glanced at the door, I felt that there were a lot of books in this store, and I came into the store here, and found that the books here were really not comparable to the small shop in Shangyuan County. Although the books here are still mainly based on the imperial examination, but the tracing stickers, travelogues, miscellaneous, words, etc., there are everything, Eleven Niang first picked a lot of good-looking stickers in the tracing stickers, and then went to the area of the book, picked the "Nan Ke Taishou Biography" and "Li Wa Biography", and then walked to the travelogue, there are twelve books about the travelogue on the shelf, Eleven Niang swept them all, let Ji Shun hold it and was about to pay when he was stopped by a voice:" Little lady, isn't it good that you can pack all the books in this bookstore by yourself?"

Eleven Niang turned to look at the person who spoke, and found that it was a young man as old as Brother Jun'er, who should also be about fifteen years old, wearing a blue straight jacket and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which looked like he should be a child of a rich family.

She asked, "Do I have it?" There are at least a thousand books in this bookstore, and I have only taken a dozen of them.

The young man was speechless, and the average little lady should be embarrassed to put the book back when she heard this kind of words, to show that she was not so selfish, but the little lady in front of her not only did not follow common sense, but also refuted, and the refutation was so powerful, that he didn't know how to answer the words.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Eleven Niang asked Ji Shun to take the book to the front to settle the bill, and at this time, a voice sounded behind him: "You little lady is really unreasonable, there are only a dozen books on this bookshelf in total, you have taken them all at once, have you ever paid attention to the thoughts of the guests behind? My son-in-law is kind enough to persuade you, you can still be cheeky and inappropriate!"

Eleven Niang turned around and found that the person who spoke was dressed as a small girl and was standing behind the young man.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to refute, but saw Mama Zhou's disapproving face.

That's right, it's a newcomer to your own house, so don't make trouble outside, who knows which son this young man is, and it won't be good if he rushes to the Dragon King Temple at that time. So she said to the young man: "I see, it's my fault, the gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, I don't know which book the son likes, then take it directly from my little hand." ”

After speaking, Eleven Niang realized that she had said the wrong thing, only to see that the young man's face was flushed, and it took a long time before he said: "No need, since the little lady takes a fancy to it first, she won't take advantage of others, and say goodbye!"

The boy bowed his hand and strode out.

After seeing the master and servant leave, Eleven Niang turned around and saw Mama Zhou's worried face, gave her a comforting smile, and then went to settle the bill.

Because of the blessing of these more than a dozen travelogues, Eleven Niang recited several popular Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes such as osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, called flower chicken, Yangzhou fried rice, etc., because Mama Li was not there, the small kitchen became Xiao Xing, not that Mama Zhou was unwilling to cook, but she did not have the talent for cooking, and Eleven Niang also knew this fact after eating the meals made by Mama Zhou a few times. This time, a few dishes, the method is relatively simple, such as called flower chicken, just let people kill the chicken, use the whole lotus leaf in a package, and then paste the mud, stuff it into the stove, and boil a pot of water on it by the way! There is also fried rice, now there are fried rice in restaurants outside, but basically egg fried rice, Yangzhou fried rice has not really taken shape, eleven Niang asked Xiao Xing to add some shrimp, diced meat, green beans, Pepper, everyone applauds the fried rice, especially the two men in the house, Xu Zhongyan and Jun Ge'er, since they tasted this kind of fried rice once, they basically ask the kitchen to do it every day.

Because he planned to open a restaurant, in the spirit of knowing himself and knowing his opponent, Xu Zhongyan took Eleven Niang and Jun Ge'er to the restaurant outside to eat as soon as he was free, and tasted almost every dish in every restaurant on Zhongde Street.

After tasting the last restaurant, Xu Zhongyan's eyes lit up, and he found that the dishes made by his little niece were ten points better than the best dishes in these restaurants, and he originally planned to open a restaurant in the south of the city, but now he has decided that since he wants to do it, he will do the best, and open the restaurant to the east of the city, where the flow of people is the most prosperous and the business is the most developed!
