14. Brine goose
The prince of Qi looked at Ning Xi with a smug face, Ning Xi also held his head high, and looked back at him without showing weakness, this kind of victor's eyes made the prince of Qi very puzzled, turned back and looked carefully at the flow of people on his side, and then looked at the situation that there was no fly on their side, then he put his mind at ease and ordered people to shout loudly: "Produced by Quanjufu, the best lo-mei in the whole capital, as long as eighteen wen a catty, the hand is fast and the hand is slow, buy it and try it!" ”
Meng Shuangshuang said angrily: "Is there any mistake, it only sells for eighteen wen a catty." "They still need 20 pennies a pound!
Some people were attracted and walked over to choose, and some people were more picky, and the taste was not as good as that of Ningxi, so they took a few steps and hesitated, and turned their heads and walked towards Ningxi.
Meng Shuangshuang greeted the guests with a loud smile: "I knew that you were knowledgeable, our lo-mei is the only one, even if it is a big restaurant, you can't imitate it if you want to!" ”
The guest nodded: "It's still delicious in your house, fragrant enough, and not a little fishy." ”
Meng Shuangshuang was happy and gave the guests two more chicken feet: "Eat well, come back next time!" ”
One after another, after tasting the lo-mei of Quanjufu, some people came to Ningxi to buy it here, and the prince of Qi Wang was anxious, and whispered a few words to the subordinates, so he shouted again: "The discount is a big deal, and the whole Jufu lo-mei is only sold for fifteen wen a catty!" ”
Seeing this, the prince of Qi smiled proudly at Ning Xi and them, not wanting to suffer a big roll of Meng Shuangshuang's eyes, Ning Xi smiled and comforted Meng Shuangshuang: "They will never be able to do business at a loss for a long time, let's not compare with them." ”
At this time, I heard some guests arguing with each other: "What's the use of being cheaper?" It's not a waste to buy it back and no one likes to eat it. "It makes sense when everyone hears it, don't you just want to buy these snacks to be delicious, and they are not hungry to fill their stomachs, why buy them back if they are not delicious?
The flow of passengers towards Ningxi has increased again.
In this way, Quanjufu kept reducing the price, and finally it was reduced to five cents a catty, which was almost the same as giving it away for nothing, and the business was only tied with Ningxi's side, Ningxi didn't care, and when he saw that the sale was almost over, he beckoned Meng Shuangshuang and Xiao Ze to help clean up the stall and go home.
The next day, the stall as usual, Quanjufu's business is obviously much worse than Ningxi's lo-mei stall, the old customers basically come to buy Ningxi's house, an aunt also complained: "I bought Quanjufu's lo-mei last night, and was scolded by my old man, such an unpalatable meat to buy back, it's not in vain!" Another said: "It's still delicious at Ning Xiaomei's house, my family can't sleep every night if I don't drink two sips of wine with your family's lo-mei!" ”
Meng Shuangshuang said: "This is natural, our family Ningxi has a family secret recipe, and it is not something that any cat or dog can imitate." After speaking, he proudly glanced at the prince of Qi who was pale-faced.
On the third day, under the glittering golden signboard of Quanjufu, a few guys were basically swatting flies boringly, Meng Shuangshuang had the intention to show off in front of them, and when his business was not busy, he cut a plate of lo-mei and brought it to the opposite side: "A few little brothers, do you want to try our family's craftsmanship?" ”
These guys from Quanjufu have never tasted anything good, but in the past few days, seeing that the business on the other side is booming, they are also very curious about how delicious it is, which can attract people to be so flocking, just for the sake of face, they have not been embarrassed to buy some to taste.
At this time, seeing that Meng Shuangshuang was smiling amiably, and there was no one in charge of his side, he simply took it cheekily, and after tasting it, it was really unique, and he couldn't help but praise a few words, Meng Shuangshuang was happy, and he started talking.
A few days ago, for some reason, Jun Shaofeng, the prince of Qi Wang, suddenly proposed to set up a stall to sell lo-mei in the Ximen Night Market, and ordered the chief chef Rong Daquan to immediately try to produce the recipe for lo-mei.
The shopkeeper of Quanjufu is surnamed Shen, he has worked for more than 20 years in the Qi Palace, and he has never done such an unreliable thing, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood by the willful and reckless Jun Shaofeng, and he had the heart to make a small report to the prince, and he was caught by the prince of the world and secretly put the pigtail in the outer room, so he could only obediently listen to Jun Shaofeng's orders.
Rong Daquan is worthy of being the number one person in the kitchen of Quanjufu, let people buy a little bit of Ningxi's lo-mei and go back to taste, and within a day he really made a similar taste of lo-mei, if you haven't eaten Ningxi's craftsmanship, this Rong Daquan's lo-mei is also a good taste.
Saying that, these guys complained again, they are in Quanjufu, and the guests who come and go are either rich or expensive, and a little bit of reward silver leaks from their fingers, which is a lot of income for them, which is like coming to the night market here, dirty and smelly, not to mention, the people who come to buy food are poor ghosts, and they have to reason with you for a long time if they don't find him a penny, and they come out to set up a stall for three days, but it is really a big loss.
When Jun Shaofeng came, he saw the scene where his guy was chatting with the arrogant little girl opposite, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't help but let people demolish their stall in Ningxi!
It's just that he really has the heart and the courage today, the emperor is in a bad mood today, and he reprimanded his father King Qi in the court, and after the King of Qi came back, he heard that Jun Shaofeng was letting Quan Jufu set up a stall in the night market, and called him over to give him a hard training.
Meng Shuangshuang, a hateful woman, watched them clean up the stall neatly, and actually said with a smile: "Go slowly, don't send it!" I have time to buy lo-mei to eat! Angry, Jun Shaofeng glared at her fiercely, and left a sentence: "You wait for me, this matter is not over!" ”
Meng Shuangshuang grinned, ran back and said to Ning Xi: "What a little overlord, it's just a paper tiger!" ”
Finally sent away the plague god on the other side, and the three of them were even happier when doing business.
After setting up a stall for a few days, Ning Xi had some spare money in his hand, and seeing that Shuangshuang and Xiao Ze were really hard these days, he decided to make them some good meat to eat today, and stop eating chicken heads and chicken feet and other bits and pieces. Therefore, when I went to the market to buy goods, I specially bought an extra whole goose.
The whole goose is a little troublesome, it takes three quarters of an hour to be marinated, and the goose is hung up in the middle and then put down after leaving the marinated soup, repeat four times, and in the process of marinating, it is necessary to constantly turn over the goose, and pour the marinade into the goose's belly with a spoon, so that the flavor can be even.
Shuangshuang doesn't dislike animal offal at all now, anyway, no matter how fishy and smelly it is, as long as it is concocted by Ning Xi's skillful hands, it can become a supreme delicacy. After washing all the offal to be sold tonight, they both carried a large basin with the offal into the kitchen with Ozawa, and now their business is very good, and they can't do enough to sell.
When the two of them came in, Ning Xi was lifting the fat goose that had been soaked in brine to a golden yellow and crystal clear from the marinade, and the goose was shiny with oil, and it could almost be seen as a human figure. Ning Xi patted the goose body affectionately, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Let's eat something good today!" ”
"What a fat goose!" Shuangshuang and Ozawa are drooling.
Ning Xi put the goose on the cutting board, cut it neatly with a knife, and the marinade flowed out after the bore, quickly transported the knife and cut it into thin slices, arranged it neatly in the dish, and finally scooped a spoonful of the marinade and poured it on, and the whole kitchen was filled with a dark and sweet fragrance.
Ning Xi put the goose meat on the dining table, and Ozawa brought three bowls of crystal white rice, holding chopsticks in both hands, and couldn't wait: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”
The knock on the door sounded at an inopportune time, and they both muttered to open the door, only to see a big fat man with a sweaty face standing outside the door, his eyes were closed, and he kept stirring his nose: "What fragrance?" ”
Suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and his eyes were precisely locked on the plate of braised goose meat on the table: "This is it!" ”
rushed in, knocked the pair in front of him to a stumble, grabbed a piece of braised goose meat and threw it into his mouth, closed his eyes again and tasted it carefully: "Well, fragrant, fresh, sweet, sweet, tender, smooth, mellow and thick, crisp and tender, there is such a delicious thing in this world!" ”
"Bang!" Shuangshuang rushed over, grabbed the bench on the ground casually, and knocked it on the fat man's head, and the three of them watched the fat man in front of him fall to the ground without saying a word.
Look at each other!
"Is he dead?" Shuangshuang threw away the bench in his hand in fear.
Ning Xi squatted down and probed the fat man's snort: "There is still gas." ”
"What should I do?"
"Reporter?"
"If I beat this guy up, will we go to jail?"
"Why don't you drag it out and throw it away?"
"And what if he wakes up and comes back to us?"
"Throw it away."
"Okay, that's it!" Shuangshuang said that he was going to pull the fat man.
"Wait!" Ning Xi went back to the room and found a bundle of bodies, first tied up the fat man tightly, and covered his eyes with a cloth, "So I don't have to worry about him waking up suddenly." ”
"Or are you thoughtful, Ozawa, go and look at the wind."
Ozawa ran to the door, opened the door a crack and looked out, and then waved his hand in: "Come on, there is no one outside." ”
With great effort, the three of them finally threw the fat man of unknown origin into a remote alley, and then ran back home like crazy, until the door was closed again, then they bent over and gasped, patted their chests and said, "But it scared me to death." ”
Ning Xiqi said: "By the way, Shuangshuang, why are you smashing him?" ”
"Didn't he rush in like this and rush in like this to rob?"
Ning Xi thought about it for a moment: "It seems to be." ”
Ozawa also asked worriedly, "Will he come again?" ”
Ning Xi thought for a while and said, "We have strict management in this workshop, and the government will not let people of unknown origin move around, so you shouldn't be afraid!" ”
"Then shall we still have a stall tonight?"
"Of course you come out, if you don't go out of the stall, you will drink the northwest wind tomorrow!"
