39. The ruffians make trouble
On the first day of opening, Shuangxi Lou is famous in the capital for a Buddha jumping over the wall, several days have passed, the powerful people who have been lucky enough to taste the Buddha jumping over the wall are still talking about it, the slip that is as thin as clotted fat, the freshness of the fragrant teeth and cheeks, it is really endless, around the beam for three days!
After the first hit, the business of Sungai House is getting better and better day by day, and there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out. The old owner of Pin Xianju is not in good health, and last month began to officially hand over the restaurant to the eldest son Li Shaoming to manage, when Li Shaoming just took over Pin Xianju, the opposite restaurant was still called Tianxiang Building, at that time, the business of the two restaurants was comparable, and no one could suppress whom.
Later, Tianxianglou became Shuangxi Building, and was smashed by An Mingyue in a few days, many old customers of Tianxianglou were transferred to Pinxianju, and the business of those Tianxianglou was a lot better, and then Ningxi tossed all day and night, Li Shaoming just watched it lively, and didn't take it too seriously, a little girl in her teens, what can she toss?
At this time, Li Shaoming was standing in front of the window on the second floor of his restaurant, watching the flow of people coming and going at the door of Shuangxi Building, and the shopkeeper Zhu walked over with an account book in his hand: "Shaodong, this is the income and expenditure details of the restaurant in the past few days, and the business has been more than half less than a few days ago." β
Li Shaoming didn't take the account book: "What is the origin of this Ningxi?" β
"Our people have been checking for a few days, it should be a fleeing peasant girl, who was abducted and trafficked to the capital, originally set up a stall in the Ximen Night Market, and later opened Shuangxi Lou because he made some money selling recipes to Quanjufu, and it is true that he can't find out that it has anything to do with the magnates in the capital."
Li Shaoming snorted: "If it is really a peasant girl who has no origin, then what is the matter with her amazing cooking skills?" Tianxianglou was originally the property of the Five Princes, how could it be transferred to her for no reason? β
Shopkeeper Zhu broke out in a cold sweat: "This, this ......"
Li Shaoming waved his hand: "That's it, you find some people to test it, don't go too far, leave some leeway." β
It didn't take long for a few men dressed in extremely ruffian clothes to swagger in the lobby of Shuangxi Building, in line with the purpose of coming to the door to be guests, Xiao Er still beckoned them to sit as usual, and at the same time quietly made eyes and let people go in to tell Ningxi.
The man hurriedly ran into the back kitchen, and before he could find Ning Xi, he was first seen by An Mingyue, and grabbed him by the collar: "What are you doing in a panic?" β
"Ahead, there are a few ruffians in front, I'm afraid they are going to make trouble."
An Mingyue threw the man away: "Look at your little bit of interest, it's just a few ruffians, and they can still eat you, hmph, who eats leopard gall and dares to make trouble in my aunt's land, come, go out with me to have a look." With that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
That person didn't care about going to Ning Xi anymore, and followed An Mingyue closely, in case this aunt really wanted to fight, he had to stop it quickly, all the tables and stools in the lobby were newly bought, and they cost a lot of money!
The service of Sungai Lou is good, the dishes are served quickly, and when An Mingyue came in, several ruffians were feasting, eating happily, and completely forgot that there was still a cockroach hidden in his sleeve and was ready to throw it into the dish to frame the store.
"Smack!" A horsewhip slammed on the table, and even the plates and bowls on the table shook twice, and on the horsewhip was a slender jade hand as white as jade, and the owner of the hand asked viciously, "What did you come from?" β
The ruffian was taken aback and stammered, "Eat, eat!" β
"Eat, eat with silver? I took the money and hurried to the checkout. β
"Checkout?" The ruffians touched their sleeves, and then remembered the meaning of today's come, grandma's, this dish is so delicious that people forget that they are not here to eat today, or the ruffian Yi was the first to come back to his senses, and coldly threw out the cockroaches in his sleeves to the scraps on the table, and was just about to shout loudly that there were cockroaches in the dish, when he was suddenly whipped by An Mingyue's raised hand, and the whip seemed to have eyes, and the man's hands were firmly tied to his body, unable to move.
Without waiting for a few other ruffians to come back to their senses, An Mingyue stretched out her hand, grabbed the man's jaws on both sides and pinched them, the mouth opened wide, and the other hand picked up the plate of leftovers with cockroaches, and poured them all into the open mouth, and then held the chin, only to hear the "coo", everyone watched the cockroach enter the belly of the ruffian.
An Mingyue threw the plate, clapped her hands and said, "Dare to fight with my aunt, when my aunt and I came here to make trouble, you rabbit cubs didn't know where to stay!" β
An Mingyue frowned, grabbed the horsewhip and threw the man out of the door: "Go outside and vomit, don't affect the guests in our store to eat." β
The ruffian remembered that his brother had received the silver from the shopkeeper Zhu, and he had to sing this scene anyway, so he mustered up the courage to point to the almost empty plate on the table and said: "You, the food in your store is not clean, and my brother has a bad stomach, you have to compensate and compensate!" β
An Mingyue: "Snort! He smiled: "Who doesn't have long eyes, and found you cowards to make trouble." Seeing that there was no one at the door, he just practiced his footwork, kicked the remaining ruffians out of the door one by one, and stacked them into a pile like arhats, "Sue sΓΉ your master, open your eyes and take a look, it is my Anguo Mansion eldest lady An Mingyue who beat you!" If you want to find trouble with Sungai Tower, you should do this as soon as possible! β
There was a crisp applause behind him: "Miss An, it's good, what do you want to eat, tell you Sister Meng, I'll let Ning Xi make it for you." β
"Can there be another altar of Buddha jumping over the wall?"
"How dare you think about it, this can't work, let's talk about it."
"Then let's go to the chicken rice flower last time, that thing looks inconspicuous, but after eating it, it looks like an addiction, and I don't want to eat it for a few days."
"As soon as you say that, I want to eat it too, but you don't need Ningxi to do this, Wang Dongping is doing a good job, let's go to him." Meng Shuangshuang enthusiastically grabbed An Mingyue's shoulders and walked to the back, "We have Miss An in Shuangxi Building, and even the nursing home has been saved." β
An Mingyue raised her face unhappily: "I'm not here to be a nurse, I want to learn to cook." β
"Didn't Ning Xi say it? When your cucumber is cut, teach you how to cook? β
An Mingyue cried with a sad face: "Good sister, you can help me talk to Ning Xi, I really can't cut the cucumber." β
Meng Shuangshuang said: "Your martial arts are so good, I think you must have worked hard at the beginning, if you can use that patience to cut cucumbers, you won't be able to cut them badly." Think about it, when you learned how to cook, that day the prince of Qi came over, and you personally made a dish and sent it to the prince, and the prince praised it......"
An Mingyue's eyes lit up: "That's right, I'll go cut cucumbers, Sister Meng, I'll go first, you find Wang Dongping to make chicken rice and then call me." β
Meng Shuangshuang smiled and shook his head, he didn't expect this eldest lady to be so coaxing, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Wang Dongping absentmindedly coming in from the back door, jumped over and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of him, but the other party did not react.
Meng Shuangshuang patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, Master Wang, what are you doing!" β
Wang Dongping caressed his heart and said, "Miss Meng, why are you babbling, you scared me to death." β
"You don't know what you're thinking, you can't hear it, why do you blame me. By the way, what are you thinking, you must have been trained by your master, right? β
Wang Dongping shook his head: "I saw Yuan Fugui." β
Meng Shuangshuang snorted coldly: "That kind of ungrateful person, what else do you mention him for?" β
Wang Dongping sighed: "How to say it, it's also a senior brother, I just saw him enter the backyard of Pinxian House opposite." Wang Dongping and Yuan Fugui are both apprentices of Rong Daquan, everyone eats and sleeps together for several years, after all, there are still some feelings, at that time Yuan Fugui refused to follow them to leave Quanjufu, although Wang Dongping felt that he was not righteous enough, but no wonder he, after all, staying in Quanjufu, the future is real, unlike the Shuangxi Building at that time, there is no shadow!
Later, I heard that Yuan Fugui was not happy in the kitchen of Quanjufu, without Rong Daquan's cover, he was an apprentice, no roots and no base, I heard that he was very excluded, and later he was kicked out without knowing what he had done, Wang Dongping also thought, when he gained a firm foothold here, he went to persuade him, let him apologize to the master, maybe the master can recognize this apprentice again, let him also come to Sungai Building to work together!
But when he saw Yuan Fugui just now, Wang Dongping was happy and wanted to greet him, but as if he had done something wrong, he flashed into the backyard of Pinxianju, as if he didn't want to meet him.
Seeing that he was still silently pondering, Meng Shuangshuang said impatiently: "What do you still want to do, he refused to follow you at the beginning, and now he has nothing to do with you, by the way, Brother Wang, you can make us some chicken rice flowers, you make the best food." β
It feels good to be needed, Wang Dongping felt beautiful when he heard this, Yuan Fugui didn't care about it, and rolled up his sleeves as he walked: "Okay, I'll do it." β
Chicken rice is a small snack that Ningxi taught them to make, the tender chicken breast is cut into cubes, marinated with salt, pepper and egg white, dipped in starch and egg liquid, and then wrapped in a layer of Ningxi's special stuff called breadcrumbs, fried in oil until golden brown can be eaten, it tastes crispy and delicious, and one bite at a time can not stop.
This thing is simple to say, but if someone else makes it, the taste is a little worse anyway, it's not so delicious, and it won't make people worry about it if they don't eat it for a few days, this secret is in the breadcrumbs specially made by Ningxi, which is added with ingredients that only she knows about the secret recipe, and this secret recipe Ningxi didn't even tell Rong Daquan, it is said that she kept it for the future to come in handy.
Anyway, now that the chicken rice flower is this thing, Ning Xi doesn't put it in the menu, and usually just lets them eat it as a snack.
