Section 20 The emperor also loves to eat hot pot

After the hot pot restaurant we opened in the ancient Song Dynasty became a hit and became a blockbuster, the following days were still popular, and the market was like a market, and there was such a good business in such a hot summer. Because www.biquge.info there is only this one, in order to eat this hot pot, the Song people lined up in a long line, from the front street to the back street, from noon to night, and even people who are hundreds of miles away have heard of the name for a long time, specially traveled thousands of miles, full of wind and dust, wind and dust The long journey came for this hot pot, until now, the queue is useless, and you need to make an appointment half a month in advance to have a position. So if you want to ask which restaurant in Lizhou is the most popular now, the answer is thunderous - Fenghualou hot pot restaurant, and if you want to ask what is the most popular in Lizhou now, the answer is self-evident - spicy hot pot.

A group of girls saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, and our store was seriously understaffed, so I dragged hard and pulled the five big and three rough cooks in the gang to help.

Suddenly, Aunt Feng ran to my ear in a panic and whispered, "Miss Ziyue, it's a big deal again, I don't know how those people in Lihong Mansion know about the back mountain, they sent someone to secretly pick some leftover chili peppers back, and it is said that they will also go back to cultivate, and some ill-intentioned people also sneakily steal some, what should I do?"

Xiao Fei immediately said: "Simply, let's seal up the garden, or send someone to guard it, these people are really annoying." ”

I smiled and said, "No, I think that if more people grow chili peppers, it will actually be good for the promotion of chili peppers." So not only do we not want to block, but if we are interested in farmers, we also want to teach them the technology for free, if it spreads to the whole country, it will be better, when everyone has chili peppers to eat, they will not be afraid of any pests, and they will be prepared. ”

Aunt Feng nodded again and again, "It's still the little girl Ziyue who is thoughtful." ”

I whispered to Xiao Fei: "After that, we are in the Song Dynasty day and night, why worry about not eating chili peppers, you think, we can eat fragrant chili peppers in the Song Dynasty without chili peppers is really a blessing, it is better to be good alone than to help the world, not only we have to eat delicious chili peppers ourselves, but also let these poor people who don't know what chili peppers are all their lives enjoy the delicious taste on the tip of the tongue." ”

Xiao Fei said worriedly: "Then our hot pot restaurant will be in business by then?"

I smiled and said, "But they don't have a specific recipe for spicy hot pot, so don't worry, it's still our family, but we also have to start attracting investment, open more branches, and it's better to open it in Beijing." We still have to monopolize this hot pot technology, but we also have to expand the branches, let them pay us an annual fee, so that we can not only expand our scope, but also sit on the harvest and enjoy the benefits brought by modern civilization, how about it?"

Suddenly one day, strange to say, this day my eyelids jumped, only to hear the high-pitched neighing of horses outside the door, I and Xiao Fei heard the sound and ran out of the door, saw bursts of loess flying, there was no national highway in ancient times, the road conditions were not good, I saw a father-in-law slowly coming out of the sedan chair, he looked a little tired, I saw him raise his eyes to see a few big characters in Fenghualou, nodded slightly, and walked straight in.

We were taken aback: "What's the matter, could it be that something has been committed, otherwise we are far away, how could these people from the imperial court come here?" I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?"

The man said, "Who is the chef here, come out quickly to greet him." ”

I didn't figure out what was going on for a while, so I stood up in a daze, and my voice trembled a little: "My lord, I am." ”

The man's eyes were round, and he was a little angry: "How can a child be the boss, he is about to be fooled, this is a crime of bullying the king, but if you read your childish words, my father-in-law Cao will not be held accountable, or ask your family to come out." ”

"It's really me. "I'm still unimpressed.

The man had a helpless expression: "Oh, this yellow-haired girl, don't make trouble, this is a serious matter, delaying the emperor's business, when the time comes, you are the only one to ask, quickly call the boss lady out, and said that you children don't understand." ”

Fortunately, the cook on the side was brave and knowledgeable, she stepped forward, "I am the cook here, may I ask what the adults are doing?"

He said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "I am the father-in-law of the emperor's side, and I specially carry the holy decree to my body, and the big and small people in the house are not all kneeling down to receive the decree, the emperor's grace is vast, and seeing the holy decree is like seeing the emperor." He said as he cautiously reached out for his arms.

A person hurriedly knelt on the ground, called to heaven and earth, and said hoarsely: "Long live my emperor, long live." "In ancient times, there was only this little trouble, kneeling and kowtowing at every turn, fortunately we are in Lizhou, and I don't know how much to kneel in the capital, I am tired when I think about it.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, began to hold the yellow silk, and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, I heard that the chef of the Lizhou head office has excellent cooking skills, the spicy hot pot is incomparably fragrant, its taste is endless, and the heart yearns for it, so Xuan Chef Niang entered Beijing on the same day and entered the palace as the imperial kitchen. ”

The cook lady was in a panic, unable to speak for a long time, and we were busy saying, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

The father-in-law said lightly: "Get up." ”

It turned out to be a good thing that those of us stood up. But seeing the cook's crying face, it was Gonggong Cao who was good at observing words and feelings, and without waiting for us to speak, he said first: "The emperor is thinking about your hot pot restaurant, and wants to eat it as soon as possible, so he has traveled thousands of miles to send me to look for people from afar, our emperor is very kind, you can follow me on the road quickly." ”

The cook was stunned for a long time, and Father-in-law Cao saw tears in the corners of her eyes: "What are you crying for, this is a good errand, it is rare for people to enter the palace when their heads are broken, so what a prosperous and charming place the capital is, a gentle and rich place." How many people are looking forward to a place to stay but can't find it? ”

Xiao Fei whispered next to me: "Yes, the salary is high, the treatment is good, and it is decent, and it is not easy to steal cultural relics, oops, I would have stood up if I knew it." ”

I smiled and said, "Haven't you changed your ways, and when you mention the palace, you don't change your nature?"

Xiao Fei said anxiously: "Oh, you don't know how many shiny treasures there are in the palace, how many rare treasures, what night pearls and the like, countless, countless, I believe, even if you see it, you can't help but be tempted." ”

Father-in-law Cao was very dissatisfied when he heard our chatter, and motioned for us not to speak, but listened carefully, and we had to remain silent.

The cook said: "I am crying with joy, I didn't expect that a person like me would actually become a royal person, I am He De How can I be, a good blessing from cultivation, oops, my two fat boys can also be stained." ”

Gonggong Cao said impatiently: "That's good, eldest sister, don't leave at this time, let alone when, you quickly pack up your baggage and enter the palace with me, if the emperor is in a hurry, Long Yan will be furious and blame it, but it is not for you and me to bear it." ”

The cook didn't expect her to come forward, and she actually changed her fate for a while, and she reluctantly said goodbye to us while cleaning up.

She looked embarrassed: "Ziyue, to be honest, I really don't know how to make this thing? You have to teach me to be, otherwise, people say that a companion is like a tiger, and if you accidentally cook the wrong meal, what should you do?"

While I packed up the ingredients for peppers and other bottles and jars, and put them in her hands, I said worriedly: "Yes, this palace is not as good as outside the palace, auntie, you have to be careful everywhere, by the way, if there is anything you don't understand, you just ask me." ”

She said helplessly: "Kelizhou and the capital are far away, how can you ask?"

I smiled slightly, "This is an ancient artifact, you hold the iPhone, if you don't understand anything, call me and ask me." ”

She looked happy, "Great, thank you, Ziyue, I have long heard them say that this is a good thing, I originally wanted to buy one, but I didn't think about the money, so I had to give up, I really didn't expect you to give me such a valuable thing, I really can't repay it." ”

After I taught her the specific use of the mobile phone, I repeatedly advised: "You must use this mobile phone carefully, and you must not let others know, otherwise your head will not be protected, because the palace taboos witchcraft, in case a handful of witchcraft is not good, so you must be careful, do not be careless, rough, if you don't understand, call me to ask." ”

After thanking her for a thousand thanks, she packed her luggage and went to the capital with her father-in-law and others. Our hot pot restaurant is even more crowded, do you want the whole world to be the king's land, this emperor loves to eat, who doesn't want to eat it quickly?
