Chapter 11: Overgrown with Weeds
Subsequently, An Ling and Wu Qi discussed some knowledge about cooking, and the second grandfather listened to it while drinking wine, and asked a question or two from time to time.
After a happy lunch, it was already the sun in the west, Wu Qi got up and had to go to the yamen to register the land deed, but the grandfather and grandson couldn't stop it, so they gave up.
The guy took the two to the guest room, and the second grandfather stopped An Ling when he was about to enter the guest room.
"Ling'er, I remember you said that the turtle spirit taught you how to make fish, right?"
"But what you just said is more than just fish. The second grandfather was slightly drunk, but his eyes were very bright.
After An Ling heard this, his heart trembled.
She replied quietly: "Second grandfather, the king taught me more than just making fish, it gave me a secret book, called "Dahua Food Codex""
"All of this I know, it's written in the Codex. You also know that my mother taught me to recognize words, and I learned them well!"
After An Ling finished speaking, he helped the second grandfather into the guest room, and after seeing him lying down, he went to pour a cup of tea.
"Second grandfather, when this time is over, I will show you the codex, and I can also let the family learn it!" After speaking, he secretly gritted his teeth.
"Okay, go back to your room and rest, you've been on the road for so long. "The second grandfather drove people away.
"Second grandfather, have a good rest. ”
As he spoke, An Ling exited the room.
After entering her room, she sat down in a chair.
"What kind of sin have I created? This is a pit at a time!"
Outside the window, it was a little dark. An Ling hurriedly opened the bag and took out some broken silver, hid the cloth bag containing the silver, and quietly went out.
About half an hour, she was holding a green cloth in her arms and went back to the guest room.
When the cloth was opened, there was a thick pile of paper and pen and ink.
"Whew, I've bought it back, my aunt and grandmother are going to start writing books!"
After the rain, the town is exceptionally quiet at night.
A middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat walked briskly through the gloomy alley, and when he walked to a courtyard door, he knocked lightly and then flashed into the door.
In the courtyard, a room was lit by a candle, and he bent down and walked in.
In the room, in front of the bookcase. The candlelight reflected his low-browed face!
This person is none other than Wu Qi, the shopkeeper of Shilixiang Restaurant who has just worshipped An Ling as his teacher!
Behind the bookcase, a man in a crescent-colored robe was standing with his back to him.
"Lord!" Wu Qi said.
"Well, what was entrusted to you, can there be any progress?" said the crescent white man's voice in a clean and flat voice.
"According to what you explained, get close to Lan Anling and transfer them away from Qixia Mountain, the small ones have already made progress, and in three days, you can let those people enter the mausoleum!"
"Well, the seal has been broken, the news is not good to block, this matter must be done as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" Wu Qi bowed his head and responded.
"Also, pay close attention to Lin Yi of the Lin Ji Goods Store, it is not so simple for him to come to Furong Town. ”
"Yes!"
"Stand down. ”
Wu Qi bowed his head and exited the room, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, disappearing into the night.
At this time, the man in the white robe in the room slowly turned around...
If An Ling was here at this time, she would definitely be able to recognize who this person was.
Sub-meta
The man who went to Kapok Village with the Peach Eye Shengshang, a man who knows how to heal!
Ten miles of Xiang Restaurant, two watches.
An Ling, who was struggling to write, stopped the pen in her hand, because she heard Lan Yun's voice in the hall downstairs, quickly packed up the pen and paper, put it in the cloth bag, and she opened the door and went out.
In the hall on the first floor of the restaurant, Lan Yun and his wife were bidding farewell to Li Zhi.
"Brother Li, I've really worked hard for you today. Lan Yun said.
Li Zhi waved his hand after hearing this, "What are you polite to me, I have sold all the goods in the mountains over the years, and I have clear the number of roads here." ”
"Yes, thanks to you all these years, otherwise these goods would have sold for a lot less silver today!" Lan Yun said gratefully.
"Don't talk about that! I've had a lot of wine, so I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow morning." Li Zhi said and walked towards the door.
Lan Yun and Qin Pei followed, "Then Brother Li, you go slowly." ”
"Rest, I'm leaving. ”
The husband and wife walked back from the door, and Lan Yun looked very happy.
said with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Li is really a capable person, the shopkeeper of the goods store today not only did not dislike the wet animal skin, but the price was a lot higher, so please eat and drink for us." ”
Qin Pei didn't reply, she saw An Ling coming down from the second floor, and hurriedly walked over.
"Ling'er, when did you arrive?" Qin Pei asked.
"Mother, I came with the second grandfather, and we arrived in the town at noon. ”
"That's good, you've eaten, haven't you?"
"After eating, the second grandfather is resting, father and mother, you two come with me, I have something happy to tell you!"
An Ling blinked after speaking, took Qin Pei's hand, and walked to the second floor.
After arriving at the guest room, An Ling said, "Dad, you sit!"
He pulled Qin Pei to sit on the bed again.
The two didn't know what happy event their little daughter was going to say, but they couldn't help but smile when they saw her serious appearance.
An Ling had a small face at this time, and said seriously: "Dad, mother, if nothing else, this store will be ours tomorrow!"
"What?"
"I didn't understand, good daughter say it again!" Lan Yun said with a smile, and the husband and wife didn't believe it.
An Ling looked at the expressions of the two, and she continued: "This Wu shopkeeper of Shili Xiang has already worshipped me as a teacher. ”
"What's going on?
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Qin Pei felt that An Ling was not joking, so she hurriedly asked.
Subsequently, An Ling told his father and mother about what happened at the lunch table today, and did not hide it.
After listening to it, after digesting it for a long time, they both felt incredible, this shopkeeper Wu was afraid that he was crazy to do this.
"How embarrassing is this, I took someone else's shop for nothing!" Lan Yun disagreed.
Qin Pei said instead: "The matter has come to this, don't talk about anything else." ”
He turned his head to look at An Ling again, "Ling'er, how sure are you about these cooking techniques you said?
"There are seven points of certainty, after all, it is difficult to reconcile. But I don't just make fish. ”
An Ling thought for a while, and then continued: "Actually, what the king gave me was a secret book about cooking, called "Dahuaxia Food Codex".
"Daddy and mother should know the preciousness of the cheats, and the king is only allowed to see me, not to take it away. But I've written it down!"
As he spoke, An Ling opened his cloth bag, took out several Caishi tutorials that he had just written, handed them to Qin Pei, and motioned for her to read them.
An Ling did this, it was really a whim, and he saw the move.
If she copied the so-called secret book by herself, her mother would definitely see that it was her handwriting.
Qin Pei handed it to Lan Yun after reading it, and after reading a few pieces of paper, the two of them groaned.
"Then let's go on! It is said that businessmen are shrewd, and Shopkeeper Wu must have his own calculations!" Qin Pei said.
An Ling nodded, "I understand what you mean, so I will write out these dishes first, and prepare to hand them over to the second grandfather to arrange." ”
"I think it's good, the second uncle used to be in charge of the big industry at home, let's just follow it. Lan Yun also agreed.
"Hmm......" all three nodded.
An Ling yawned, "Dad, mother, I'm sleepy." ”
Lan Yun touched An Ling's head, got up and went out first.
Qin Pei hugged her daughter in her arms and said, "Ling'er, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Mother, it's not hard! a child with a mother's pain is like a treasure!"
An Ling hugged Qin Pei's waist, her whole little face was buried in her arms, coquettish...
After sending Qin Pei away, she sat cross-legged on the bed.
Seeing the few pages he had written, he smiled bitterly, and carefully packed them up and put them in the cloth bag.
"Alas, this is my silver, the magic weapon to make a fortune!"
Early the next morning.
Xu is aware that there is something big going to happen in the store, and the guys who run the hall, the cook, and the original master of Shilixiang all came to the store early.
After Li Zhi and Wu Qidu arrived, everyone sat down. Under the auspices of the second grandfather, a meeting was held.
The main thing is to discuss a few new dishes that are ready to be launched: braised carp (sweet and sour)
Spicy grilled fish
Boiled fish fillet
Steamed fish
Different types of fish are cooked in different ways.
These are a few dishes that An Ling wrote last night.
Then there are the spices, seasonings, and side dishes needed, An Ling said, and the second grandfather remembered.
But when it comes to how to catch fish, opinions are divided.
The Jinsha River is too far away, and if you catch the fish and transport it, it will definitely not be fresh.
If you choose a nearby stream, there is no guarantee of the size or quality of the fish.
At this time, An Ling thought of the net when Lan Yun hunted birds and beasts, and briefly told everyone how to make and use fishing nets to catch fish.
The location was still chosen in the Jinsha River, and then the live fish were transported by elk carts.
The restaurant originally covered a large area, with houses behind it and a large pool built by man, all of which were living water.
An Ling proposed to clear this out and keep it for fish farming.
The shopkeeper changed from Wu Qi to the second grandfather, and everyone discussed the pricing again.
An Ling saw that the arrangement was almost done, and when all the raw materials were ready, she stood up and said.
"In the end, I propose that the store be replaced with a plaque and replaced with a "Weedy Overgrown" hotel!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
The second grandfather smiled at this time: "Haha, Ling'er, what do you think of this name?"
An Lingqi looked at the crowd calmly.
"This wild refers to our store, which focuses on fresh and fresh fish, because they are all fresh live fish, river fresh, whole roasted camel cow and so on. ”
"Grass, as everyone should know, is everywhere. So I hope that one day, our Weedy Hotel will have branches all over the Canglan Continent!"
"Okay!" Hearing this, everyone applauded An Ling.
Wu Qi seemed to join in the fun, and shouted at this time: "Master, then you can talk about Cong Hesheng again!"
An Ling's little face tilted and said, "Cong is two people walking on it, right? This means that people come and go, and business is prosperous!"
"Then you don't need me to say this word, right?"
An Ling finished.
Qin Pei and Lan Yun looked at their daughter, and they were proud and satisfied.
After Wu Qi heard this, his eyes looked deeper at An Ling, and his two fingers were wiping his mustache.
After the meeting, the hotel was closed and temporarily closed.
The new hotel is scheduled to open in three days.
Then the second grandfather assigned some details, everyone performed their duties, and dispersed.
Lan Yun and his family were about to return to Qixia Mountain, and An Ling asked them to arrange with the people in the village to be sure to transport the live fish before tomorrow night.
The restaurant has been cleared, and all the people in the village can arrange it when they come to the town.
And can't forget to touch the porcelain, she misses it.
Sending them away, An Ling was about to take a look at the spices, but she was not at ease and had to buy them herself.
In the street market, which was as lively as ever, An Ling stopped and stopped, and finally came to the stall where he bought spices last time.
"Haha, boss, do you remember me?
The guy who sold spices looked carefully at the little girl in front of him, with a long ponytail and a pair of big red phoenix eyes......
"Oh~ I remember, you are the girl who bought spices last time and talked about half a tael of silver!"
"Haha, it's me. An Ling looked at him with a smile, and looked further forward along the line of sight...
"Boss, it turns out that your store is called Lin Ji Goods Store!"
