Chapter 194: Summer Drink (Part II)

"Ahem, Li Rou, see what's going on outside?"

While looking for cold water, she asked Li Rou to take a look at the situation in a dumb voice.

Li Rou lifted the curtain slightly and took a few looks: "There are people outside who are impetuous, yelling at our old diners, saying that they are too noisy." ”

"Isn't it familiar?"

"No, it seems to be new. He's so ugly, his face is full of pockmarks, and there's a lot of oil, ...... it," Li Rou said in disgust, and suddenly noticed that A-Yao grabbed a few handfuls of medicinal materials and put them in the bowl, and the red dates broke into two and half, threw the quarter of the red dates into the bowl, carried the copper kettle and poured hot water into it, quickly poured out most of the hot water, and then poured cold water, covered the lid and handed it to Li Rou. "Let Li Gang come over and get it, and let him have a word......"

"Our cook said that this is for you to drink, don't be angry on a hot day, it is easy to hurt your body, drink a cup of tea to dissipate your anger. ”

Li Gang served a bowl of tea, and the man glanced triumphantly at a few old diners: "See, Miss Yao invited me to drink." Yo, it's still the best tea. ”

He deliberately opened the bowl and shook it in front of the eyes of those diners, "Miss Yao still feels sorry for me in my heart." ”

Li Gang wanted to speak and stopped.

The corners of the mouths of several old diners trembled, and the corners of their mouths wanted to turn up, but they had to take into account the mood of this "scholar" who was not diligent in all parts of the body, and he couldn't laugh for the time being.

Old man, the corners of your mouth are almost open to your ears, put them away, and if you want to laugh, at least wait until he finishes drinking.

They reminded each other with their eyes, and they couldn't help but laugh and simply stood up and turned their backs to the "reader".

The "reader", who knew nothing about this, took a sip and immediately squirted out, and the bowl slammed on the table with a clattering sound: "Bah, what a thing, so bitter! Are you taking it wrong!"

"Our cook said, the weather is hot today, and the lotus seed heart dandelion tea specially made for you is added with a very small amount of coptis powder, which clears away heat and detoxifies the heart, and I am worried that you will find it difficult to eat, she also added red dates to it, which is slightly sweet. Li Gang said, "She said that after drinking her tea, if the guests dare to harass the diners at will, our small restaurant will not entertain them." ”

"Good!"

The old diners applauded, "Young man, this lotus seed heart dandelion tea is a good thing, clear the heart and relieve the heat, you have a cup of belly, maybe the ...... on your face It's going to get better. ”

"Shut up!" was poked at his indescribable weakness, and the "reader" was annoyed and angry, and his heart wavered, and the problem of his face was what he cared about the most, what if it worked?

Just when he was deadlocked, Li Gang brought a tray from the kitchen and walked a long way to bypass the scholar: "The drink you ordered is here." ”

His shout caught the eyes of the old diners, who rubbed their hands in anticipation, "I'll see." ”

In the tray there are white porcelain bowls for cockfighting, blue and white bowls, cups, chrysanthemum pattern bowls like hats, and bowls similar to the style of the bowl in the hand of the reader.

Li Gang reported the name of the dish and sent the blue and white bowl to the corresponding person: "The ice is sand sugar mung beans." Please use slowly, do not eat too quickly. ”

The edge of the bowl is cool and silky, as if it has been put in ice water, the mung bean paste has a rustling taste, and the sugar mung beans made by others are mung beans and sugar, and Ayao's mung bean paste follows the practice of her previous family, adding kelp to the mung bean paste, kelp is cold, and the mung beans are cool, and the two are placed in the summer just to clear away heat and relieve heat, clear the liver and reduce fire. The thickness and width of the kelp directly affect the perception of the people who eat this bowl of sugar water, if the cut is too thin and too long, the kelp is difficult to scoop, and the kelp is thick and troublesome to chew, so she chooses a thinner kelp and cuts it into a size that is half as wide as a finger and one finger long.

When it is done, put the bowl in the ice water that has been floating with ice slag shortly after it melts.

This guest asked for ice.

Sugar mung beans are chilled, more water and less beans will be better than the thick taste, cool with a hint of ice mung bean water slid down the throat, in this ghost weather where you are sweating while sitting, there is this bowl of cold mung bean water, I feel that my pores are dilated, and I feel a cold wind rushing towards me.

Li Gang handed out the white porcelain bowl: "The sweet soup is red bean lotus seed lily." ”

Compared with mung bean water, there are more beans and less beans, and the ingredients in the sweet soup are more than water, thick, and each spoonful scoops up the lotus seed lily, slightly chilled, not just out of the pot, Ah Yao takes it out when it is chilled to room temperature.

Li Gang: "Sweet and sour is orange and lemon." ”

Speaking of this, it's still very normal, there is nothing particularly brilliant, just when they thought like this, they heard Li Gang bring two bowls of light brown drinks without oil flowers, one of which still has a few pears, and said-

"Slightly bitter and sweet, put a little salt, don't want tea, and don't want licorice to drink is bitter gourd frying"

"Sweet, not too sweet is Houttuynia feumatic pear soup. ”

Old Diners: "......"

Bitter gourd frying is understandable, wait, what is Houttuynia cordata about? Houttuynia cordata is not the Houttuynia they think, is it?

Seeing that they were at a loss, Li Gang's small light bulb lit up and explained: "Houttuynia cordata is the root of the folded ear." ”

The diners who ordered the sweet drink were very repulsed by the taste brought by the folded ear root itself, and when they heard it, they resisted and shouted: "No! I refuse! What do you think of the conpoy? Can you drink this thing?"

Ah Yao opened the curtain and walked out, wiping her hands: "You can drink it, of course you can drink it, it's really sweet." You smell it, and there's nothing but pears and rock sugar. But if you really don't like it, I'll give you a sugar mung bean?"

"Change, change. He nodded busily, and Ah Yao went back to change the mung bean paste for him.

The diner next to him who took the bitter gourd fried came over and was eager to try: "You give it to me, I want to taste what it tastes like." ”

"That's a good idea. He rejected the folded ear root, and at the same time he wondered what it would be like to cook it with pears, and now there were people willing to sacrifice themselves as guinea pigs, and he couldn't ask for it.

The other two got the normal drink sweet soup and quipped: "Look at your two bowls, bitter and sweet, how are you going to drink them?"

Diner: "Try the bitter gourd fried first, first bitter and then sweet, if it is sweet first and then bitter, I can't stand the taste." ”

Ah Yao smiled: "This kind of taste you said is really there." On the south side of Caiyun, the local people entertain distinguished guests to meet three teas, roast half a cup of bitter tea, sweet tea is to add brown sugar, cinnamon, milk fan, milk fan is a kind of cheese, and some sweet tea is brown sugar honey added together, the last pepper leaf of the sweet tea, can be described as a bitter, two sweet and three sweet. ”

Diner: "First bitter and then sweet and then sweet, it is also a kind of life principle." ”

Ah Yao only smiled silently, abandoning the philosophy of life, if the taste alone, she prefers to drink it upside down, the taste of sweet tea is strange, sweet tea is too sweet and greasy, but it is a good choice to use bitter tea to return sweetness.

He took a sip, felt the taste of it, and clicked his mouth...... I grunted and swallowed.

"How?"

"Wait until I try it again. ”

In this way, mouthful after mouthful, a bowl of gurgling bottomed out, and he let out a comfortable sigh, "It's refreshing and comfortable, and the temperature in the mouth is just ......"

"Did we hear you say this, taste, most importantly. ”

"It's not unpleasant at all, it's not strange, it's slightly bitter, it's not astringent, the point is that it slowly produces a sweet aroma after it enters the throat, and this taste is different from tangerine peel or licorice, add a little salt to enhance the taste, like drinking soup. Miss Yaozhu, is it just bitter gourd here?"

Ah Yao listened with a smile on the side, got up and walked to him to introduce: "I use dried bitter gourd, and when I fry the water, I add dried oysters and a candied date, and it is also a good choice to boil soup with bitter gourd and pig bones, and it is the most suitable to drink in summer." You try the pear soup again. ”

The "reader" looked at Ah Yao for a long time, her eyes were hooked, Ah Yao couldn't feel it, as soon as the diners asked questions, she quietly walked to the side of the old diners, and there was a sense of security.

"Miss Yao......"

The reader spoke, and the diner who tasted the new slapped his thigh and shouted, interrupting him: "Oh, conpoy, if you didn't let him say it was Orien Feng Shui Pear Soup at the beginning, I really can't taste it, it's sweet and refreshing, and it will feel sour after drinking, isn't it easy to do?"

"It's easy to do, you can do it at home. Cut the pears into pieces and remove the core, boil them together with rock sugar and water, boil them until they boil, fold the ear roots, and then cook them for two quarters of an hour. ”

"Good, good. ”

"Is it really that delicious?" asked the diner next to him.

Ah Yao's eyes rolled, and she went back to the kitchen to clean up a few small cups, scooped a spoonful and distributed them to each small cup, and brought them out: "You can taste it, and taste it until what he says is true or false, free." ”

Free of charge!

Just take a small bite and try it out and you won't lose anything. Diners, you have a cup and I have a cup, and the tray is empty.

"Hmm, the taste is really good, there is a feeling of drinking pear water, and the taste is different from that of pear paste, and it is rock sugar, which seems to be a bit expensive......"

"I feel very comfortable after drinking, and I don't feel like I still want to drink water, how much is a bowl?"

"Two pennies. ”

Whenever the "reader" wanted to talk to Ah Yao, he was preempted by the enthusiastic and curious diners, or his voice was drowned out in the crowd, so he had to look at Ah Yao with burning eyes.

He hoped that A-Yao would notice him and follow him to the side to talk. In front of the public, he couldn't pull his face and asked Ah Yao why he didn't agree to the family affair, and said it to teach others to know that he was a showman, and he was rejected by a cook, how faceless!

After these people are gone, when Yao Zhu goes home, he will ask for an understanding.

All this was watched by Sun Niang.

"Yao Zhu, Dabao wants to eat mush, you come and help me. Sun Niang called her on the edge of the kitchen, and walked into the kitchen by herself, Ah Yao responded, and was pulled aside by Sun Niang as soon as she walked in, she looked out through the gap in the curtain, and sure enough, that person ......

"What's wrong?"

Sun Niang silenced her and whispered:

"You come home from the back door now, be careful if anyone will follow you on the way, I have been paying attention all afternoon, the man with a pockmarked face has been watching you for a long time, and his eyes are not right. ”

Staring at you for a long time.

When Ah Yao heard this, the anxious-looking person immediately appeared in her mind, her scalp was numb in an instant, she hugged her arms, and solemnly thanked Sun Niang: "I will, thank you boss lady for reminding me." ”

Ah Yao didn't linger any longer, and immediately slipped out the back door.

The sun hides behind the clouds, but it still can't hide its light and heat, the stone road is hot, stepping on the cloth shoes with several layers of soles, you can still feel the endless heat surging up from the soles of your feet, and the top of your head is also hot.

Ah Yao quickened her steps, looked at the four directions nervously, and was shocked all the way, and arrived home safely.

After that, when she went to the foot store every day, she brought Ergouzi with her, and usually reduced the number of times she went to the lobby, and she heard Li Gang and Song Fang say that the pockmarked "scholar" didn't come to the store that day.

After being so tight for a few days, the string quietly loosened.

However, she still relaxed too soon.
