"Well, Xiaolong, what do you think of the vegetable pancakes I baked?"

Su Nannan suddenly asked.

"Of course it's so good!" Tang Xiaolong nodded and said.

"How is it better than what is sold at the roadside stalls outside?"

"Ha, your vegetable pancakes, of course, are not comparable to the vegetable pancakes sold at roadside stalls. ”

Tang Xiaolong said while eating, "The vegetable pancakes on the roadside stalls, in order to save costs, in order to make a little more money, the oil they use is not good oil, it is said to be two yuan a pound of blended oil, and the dishes are not fresh vegetables, they are all leftovers from the vegetable stalls, of course the pancakes are not much better, how can they be compared with the vegetable pancakes you baked!"

Tang Xiaolong also knows a little bit about roadside stalls and snack bars.

There is a good saying, it is called "what to do and what not to eat".

The stall owner of the pancake never eats pancakes.

Those who fry fried fritters don't eat fried dough sticks, those who steam steamed buns don't eat steamed buns, those who fry chicken don't eat fried chicken, and those who grill skewers don't eat skewers.

What does this mean?

Is the stall owner reluctant to eat it, or does he know the essence of these things and dare not test the poison himself?

Tang Xiaolong knew that if he talked too much about a problem like this, he would offend people and affect people's financial routes, and he didn't know how to die if he was careful.

So, what to eat and what not to eat, just have a number in your heart, and you can't be forced to do nothing.

"Well, Xiaolong, I don't want to work for anyone anymore, I want to do my own catering. Su Nannan said, "This is what I want to tell you." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tang Xiaolong suddenly came to his senses.

"Nan Nan, do you want to do your own catering? That's good, I support it!" Tang Xiaolong said, "However, I remember you said before, didn't your father not allow you to do catering?

Speaking of the situation of the Su family, it is really a bit strange.

As far as Tang Xiaolong knew, the Su family did not live in this Shilou Village from their ancestors, but moved to this village from other places thirty years ago when Su Nannan's grandfather was still alive.

More than 100 years ago, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Su family was a famous family in the country, Su Zuye, the old lady of Su, made a fortune with cooking skills, was the first imperial chef of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the first dish of the emperor's meal was from the hands of Shen Zuye.

Even, Su Zuye's superb cooking skills have been praised many times by the awesome but corrupt and incompetent Lafayette.

Later, after the end of the imperial system, Su Zuye left the Qing Palace and united several beloved disciples to establish Su Ji Restaurant.

Just 20 years later, Su Kee Restaurant has spread all over the country, and the Su family has become a giant in the catering industry of that era.

After Su Zuye's death, the Su family's cooking skills have been passed down from generation to generation.

In the early 70s, Su Guanghui, the descendant of the Su family, once again entered the Forbidden City and made a banquet for national leaders as the head chef, and the glory of the Su family reached the peak again!

It's just that the good times don't last long.

After the death of Su Guanghui, who was nearly 70 years old, his two sons, Su Jiaping and Su Jia'an, had serious disagreements because of the development direction of the Su family's catering business, which led to constant quarrels between the two brothers and a rapid deterioration of their relationship.

Later, Su Jiaping, who was the eldest brother, didn't know what wrong thing he had done, as if he was forced to sign a contract in order to settle the matter, and since then he has withdrawn from the Su family with a small part of his assets.

This Su Jiaping, in the early 90s, took his eldest son Su Mingli and second son Su Mingxin from the metropolis and came to Shilou Village, a rural mountain village.

Soon, Su Mingli had a pair of children, the eldest daughter Su Nannan, and the youngest son Su Chengcai.

In other words, Su Nannan's own grandfather is Su Jiaping, who left the Su family thirty years ago.

And Su Guanghui, who entered the Forbidden City and made a banquet for the national leaders, was Su Nannan's grandfather.

Although Tang Xiaolong has a close relationship with the Su family, he is an outsider after all, and he doesn't know why Su Nannan's grandfather quit the Su family decades ago.

I only know that her grandfather made a big mistake back then, and he should have done an ugly thing!

Because, in my memory, when I was a child, Su Nannan's grandfather was very good at drinking, he didn't eat vegetables or meals all day long, he was a strong drinker, drunk, either sighing for a long time, or silently shedding tears, and spending the day in endless regret every day.

Within a few years, Su Jiaping had stomach bleeding due to cirrhosis of the liver and returned to the west.

In this way, it is estimated that only his two sons, Su Nannan's father Su Mingli and second uncle Su Mingxin, knew about Su Jiaping's withdrawal from the Su family.

Su Nannan's father, Su Mingli, his cooking skills are also passed down from his ancestors, steaming, frying, stir-frying, cooking and stewing, which are all top-notch, much more clever than the chefs in ordinary star-rated hotels, but he usually doesn't show his eyes.

Over the years, the Su family has lived a very poor life, if Su Mingli wants to make a fortune with his cooking skills, open a restaurant or something, it is estimated that he will soon be able to make a fortune.

What makes Tang Xiaolong very strange is that not only did Su Mingli never have the idea of making a fortune in catering, but he even didn't let his daughter Su Nannan engage in catering, at most she could work in a pie shop, and if she wanted to open a restaurant or something, he would never allow it.

"Xiaolong, before this, my dad did not allow me to do the catering industry, but after my second uncle's hospitalization and my dad being robbed of money, my dad thought about opening it and promised me to try to do catering, which is actually a snack. ”

Su Nannan said.

"Oh, that's good, it's good if your dad wants to open it, and as soon as your dad wants to open it like this, your family's wealth will come, really. ”

Tang Xiaolong's words were really not a joke, and he suddenly said, "By the way, Nan Nan, you and your father's cooking skills are inherited from our ancestors, why do you refuse to do catering, this is very unreasonable!"

"I asked my dad this question countless times, and he only said that this is a family rule set by my grandfather, even if you die poor, you can't get involved in catering. If you dig deeper into this matter, it may involve my grandfather's withdrawal from the Su family, and my father won't say anything more. ”

Su Nannan shook his head, he didn't know the inside story of this secret matter of his family.

"Oh, in that case, then we don't need to dig deeper. Tang Xiaolong said, "Where do you plan to open a store, in the county seat or in Loushan Town?

Su Nannan was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't open a store, I'm just a stall, I set up a stall on the central street of Loushan Town, sell vegetable pancakes on the street, and I can start it for only a few hundred yuan." ”

Hearing this, Tang Xiaolong, who had always maintained a smile on his face, suddenly put away his smile and shook his head.

"Xiaolong, what's wrong, what's wrong?" asked Su Nannan curiously.
