Chapter 8 Eight Treasure Building
Le Lin could only hear the muttering in her mouth: "Chaowen Dao, Chaowen Dao......"
"Shopkeeper Zheng?"
Zheng Youliang didn't hear it, and Le Lin pushed him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Less...... Shaodongjia," Zheng Youliang's tears were hazy, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears tremblingly, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hand to Lelin respectfully, and said: "My conscience has been wished, I am grateful, I can't express it, I can't express it, I don't give up." ”
Le Lin didn't know the twists and turns, but he thanked himself for teaching a new craft, and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to have a sword mountain and a sea of fire, just do a good job of the accounts of the past two years according to my method in the past few days and send them to the Hou Mansion." ”
"Yes." After that, Zheng Youliang buried his head in the ledger.
"Don't buy any more materials in the store in the near future, I have other plans."
Based on the business situation seen today, Le Lin is afraid that if this wishful fast continues like this for a long time, it will be a matter of time before it closes down. After seeing the general ledger, this business strategy needs to be reconsidered.
"Coo-goo-goo-goo......" As he spoke, an embarrassed voice came from Lelin's stomach,
It turned out that it was past noon before I knew it.
Le Lin persuaded Zheng Youliang to come back after eating together to write accounts, but Zheng Youliang said that he wanted to practice again. Since he was addicted to it, Lelin had no choice but to give up.
Out of Ruyi Zhai, the traffic in front of the door is busy, the houses are lined up one after another, there are tea shops, wine shops, foot shops, public houses...... Crowded, bustling, as if in the Qingming Riverside map.
For a while, Le Lin didn't know where to go: "Chuanxiong, where is it better to eat?" ”
Chuanxiong was also so hungry that he was drumming, and when he heard Le Lin say that he was going to eat, he smiled happily, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, Rhubarb and I usually go to Chen Ji's noodle house in Dongshi to eat noodles. ”
"Then let's go to Chen Ji."
"Young Master......" Da Huang's face was difficult, his brows were furrowed, and there were a few wrinkles on his face, and the whole bitter gourd was the same, he cringed and said: "Madame has an order, the dragon and snake in the East City are mixed......
Seeing that he was in a dilemma, Le Lin couldn't insist, so she had to ask, "Is there an elegant restaurant near here?" ”
"In this Bianjing City, the scenery of Shuyunlai Pavilion is the best, not far ahead. I heard that the dishes are also first-class, and there is a new dish called Zhenbao Duck, which even Prime Minister Pang Cheng is full of. Le Lin didn't plan to go to Dongshi, and Chuanxiong was happy to introduce him to high-end restaurants.
Rhubarb wanted to speak and stopped: "But, young master, ......"
"What's wrong with you?" Lelin was a little impatient with hunger.
"This Yunlai Pavilion is not cheap, how much silver money did you bring with you, young master?" Rhubarb asked timidly.
Only then did Le Lin remember that she didn't bring silver taels when she went out, and sighed: "Then, why don't you go home." ”
It's just that it will take at least half an hour to return to the Hou Mansion from here.
At this time, Chuanxiong suddenly patted his head and shouted: "Young master! ”
He had a very loud voice, and suddenly, Le Lin was startled by him, only to see him point to a three-storey building not far in front of him, and look at it, there is a very large wood carved signboard hanging next to the building, engraved with the words "Eight Treasure Building", the store is quite atmospheric, but it is a bit half-new. Although it was meal time, there were only a handful of guests.
Chuanxiong said with a smile: "Young master, look at my memory, this Babao Building is in front, is it okay to go to Babao Lou?" ”
"Don't you have to pay for eating in Babaolou?" Le Lin looked at this beautiful door and thought, is it a free big reward?
"Babaolou is also the property of the Hou Mansion, and the young master will patronize it, so naturally he doesn't have to give money."
Yes? This deserted restaurant is also the industry of Lejia?
That's it, that's it, let's just patrol the business today.
==============================================
Compared with Zheng Youliang's calmness, the performance of Shi Chang, the shopkeeper of Babaolou, is much more cautious. looked at Le Lin, with a worried and panicked look.
There is no other reason, Zheng Youliang worked in Yuefu when the old marquis Lexin was young, and he was an old courtier personally promoted by Lexin. Even if it is a young owner, you have to call it a "good uncle" according to your generation, so you can be calmer.
And Shi Chang, who is only in his early thirties, has been the shopkeeper of Babaolou for less than half a year.
What's more, he was not qualified to be a shopkeeper, but he was just a big guy in the store - because the shopkeeper Huang Hongfu was poached by the Xin family not long ago and went to Yunlai Pavilion, the kitchen cooks and cooks were all taken away together, not to mention, even the more familiar guys in the shop were taken away by Huang Hongfu.
Shi Chang has always been unaccustomed to Huang Hongfu's arrogant and domineering style, and once accused Shi of colluding with the dealers who supplied vegetables and meat, filling his own pockets and making it shoddy.
Huang Hongfu held a grudge, so naturally he would not take Shi Chang to change jobs.
At that time, there was no one available in the store, although he knew that Shi Chang was not good enough, Shi had to promote him to be the shopkeeper.
After this battle, the business of Babaolou deteriorated, and even though Shi Chang was talented, he was unable to return to the sky, so he panicked every day, worried about when the owner would close the Babaolou.
Le Lin didn't know the reason, she only felt that Shi Chang was not responsible enough, so she looked down on him a little in her heart, and asked him to hurry up and serve the food, so she didn't care anymore.
For some reason, the meal was delayed, and Le Lin was even more unhappy, and complained to Chuanxiong in a low voice: "How did this Shi Chang get the shopkeeper?" ”
Chuanxiong knew some reasons, so he told Le Lin like this.
"In this way, Shi Chang is loyal."
"Shopkeeper Shi is the nephew of Steward Liang, so he is naturally more loyal than Huang Hongfu."
"Steward Liang?" Le Lin was puzzled in her heart, and now when she heard Chuanxiong mention it, she felt a little strange, big families all have housekeepers, watching costume dramas, those shops and Zhuangzi are all taken care of by housekeepers, why does this Anguo Marquis Mansion have to be decided by the Shi family? This steward Liang is only the first time I've heard of it, and I haven't seen a figure.
Rhubarb explained carefully: "Steward Liang is old, and he went back to the countryside four or five years ago to retire, and his wife said that he had not found a good person to replace him, so he was empty first. ”
Just when Le Lin still had doubts and wanted to ask Rhubarb, someone at a table by the window not far away said loudly: "Shopkeeper!" What kind of dish are you serving! ”
Turning his head, there were only two people sitting at the table, but there were four attendants standing next to him.
Aren't you here to find fault?
If you look closely, it's not like it.
Sitting by the window was an eight- or nine-year-old girl with big eyes, as bright as glass, and a crimson and pink face, which was very cute. The other person, sitting with her back to Le Lin, looked at it, probably slightly taller than herself, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Wear a stone blue rain brocade robe.
The entourage behind him is also very finely dressed, tall and delicate, in comparison, the Chuanxiong and rhubarb around Le Lin are much more marketable.
It was one of the attendants who had just shouted.
It seems that it should just be a rich boy and a young lady from a family who feel that they are not well greeted. Looking at the appearance of the goose flying at the end of the water in this Babaolou, it is likely that the level of the dishes is poor.
Thinking that she was the young owner of this Eight Treasure Building, even though she was very reluctant to serve these young masters, Le Lin still straightened her clothes and stepped forward.
"Hello Childe." She learned the movements of the ancients, made a gesture, and said loudly.
The young man in the stone blue shirt turned his head when he heard the sound.
What a handsome young man, Le Lin praised in her heart. I saw that he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was still a little childish, as long as he was not disabled, in a few years, he would add some stability, and he would definitely charm many girls.
The young man only glanced at her, but remained silent, only gave the attendant next to him a look, and the attendant shouted to Le Lin, "Who are you?" ”
"Below is the young owner of Babaolou, if the guest officer has any comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to tell me, the shop will definitely improve." Le Lin said politely.
The young man heard that he was Shaodong of Babaolou, his eyes flashed with a trace of curiosity, and after a closer look, he said, "Are you from Lejia?" ”
Le Lin couldn't hear what his emotions were, so she had to say calmly: "Yes." In Xia Lelang, did you not ask Gongzi Gao's surname? ”
The other party didn't answer, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Half a year ago, my son tasted an eight-treasure duck in your store, and I liked it very much. If you taste it again today, it is already a difference between cloud and mud. ”
Le Lin saw that the duck skin in the plate was rough and the plate was also messy, and there was no carving on the plate, so she was not good, and said with a smile: "Son, please forgive me, this meal, the restaurant does not charge a cent, and it should be regarded as a ...... for the crime."
"My son is not bad for these silver coins," the young man didn't intend to accept Lelin's intentions, and said to himself: "It's just that my little sister is difficult to go out, and I also said that I want to take her to taste the eight treasure ducks in your store, but unexpectedly, it was a ...... of empty joy."
"Huang ......" The girl heard him mention herself, timidly pulled his sleeve, and said softly: "Brother, don't embarrass others, Ah Li is very satisfied to be able to go out today......
Le Lin looked at the girl named Ah Li, only to see that she was cramped and nervous, lest the people around her be unhappy, and she did not have her brother's composure at all, and in addition to curiosity, she couldn't help but think of her sister Zhang Yan in the 21st century.
said that she was a younger sister, but in fact she was not related, Zhang Yan was a drag oil bottle brought by her stepmother. During the time that Lelin lived with her father, they spent a lot of time together.
Probably because Zhang Yan has been under the fence since she was a child, and her stepmother is an impatient person, she threatens with words such as "I don't want you anymore" and "throw you back to your father" at every turn......
Le Lin took pity on her, so she often took her to play, and often encouraged her, compared to other half-siblings or half-siblings, but with this half-sister the deepest.
I don't know how Zhang Yan is now.
Retracted her thoughts and looked at Ah Li, I don't know if it was her own illusion, Le Lin felt that her appearance was also a little similar to Zhang Yan, and her eyes were not much softer.
After thinking about it and making up his mind, he said to the young man: "Childe, don't hide it, the chef who made Babao Duck before the restaurant has already jumped to Yunlai Pavilion. ”
The young man didn't expect Lelin to be so frank, and he didn't think he looked up at her.
"The Eight Treasure Duck contemptible people don't know how to do it," Le Lin added tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "But the contemptible people have a few ancestral specialty dishes, which are unique in the whole Bianjing City, and I am willing to make them myself to make amends for Ling Mei's sins." ”
"Oh?" The boy raised his eyebrows, very curious.
Ah Li hurriedly stopped: "Le Gongzi is slow," and pulled down the young man's sleeve again: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, but it's just an eight-treasure duck, brother, don't bother Le Gongzi." ”
Le Lin felt more and more pity for her, and didn't wait for the young man to speak, arched his hand and said, "Don't bother, wait a while." He took Chuanxiong, Rhubarb and Shi Chang into the kitchen.
