Chapter 11: Reversal
Ah Si has been held by Su Changfang, originally just a handy guy who just entered Tianxianglou, because of his frivolous temperament, no master is willing to take him, he can only start from the lowest washing vegetables, washing vegetables for a few months, thinking that there is no way out in Tianxianglou from now on, until he met the eldest lady, the eldest lady saw his eyes a little straight, she praised him for being "handsome", he didn't study for a few years, only boasted about his words. Then I watched the eldest lady step by step promote him from an ordinary vegetable washing guy to the position of chef, and even the big fat Li who looked down on him at the beginning was kicked out of Tianxianglou, and from then on, in addition to the shopkeeper, only he had the most weight in Tianxianglou!
But this qiΔ was ruined by the four girls and the six girls who came out of nowhere! He's even going to have to sharpen bamboo sticks with them now!
He clenched his fists, this qiΔ was all caused by them! If they don't comeβ
Su Xiujin raised her eyebrows, if she wanted to get anything in the Su family, she would definitely damage the interests of her eldest sister Su Changfang, but in her previous life, she was the imperial concubine, what means have you never seen? Under one man, above ten thousand, what is she afraid of?
"Sixth girl, you see, Tianxianglou is still short of manpower, and it will open in another hour. After today, it is not too late to punish again. The bowl of good water served by the shopkeeper was impartial, which not only gave Su Xiujin face, but also did not offend Su Changfang.
Su Xiujin smiled and said slowly: "That's what the shopkeeper said." β
After speaking, he glanced at Ah Si and walked out of the back kitchen.
When Su Xiujin walked away, Ah Si breathed a sigh of relief, and was shocked to realize that there was a big sweat behind her back, Su Xiujin was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, but her majesty was like a mountain that overwhelmed people.
The shopkeeper glanced at Ah Si, snorted and went out. He hoped that the sixth girl would drive this boy out of Tianxianglou!
There were a lot of old customers gathered at the gate of Tianxiang Building, half of them heard that Big Fat Li was back, and half of them heard that they came for gifts.
"Four girls, four girls, there are so many guests outside the door?" A young man said with a smile on his face as he crowded people through the crack in the door.
Su Xiuyuan was also happy: "Are you ready?" β
"Okay, okay, just wait for the girl to light the cannonball, pass the brazier, and open the door!"
The little guy outside the door shouted: "The auspicious time has come!" β
Su Xiuyuan took the incense thread: "Open the door!" β
As soon as the door was opened, sure enough, many people gathered around to watch, there were two guys standing on the beam, and there were auspicious coins wrapped in red paper in the frame, each of which was a penny, and Su Xiuyuan had enough three taels of silver, a full three thousand.
Su Xiuyuan covered one ear, carefully clicked the fuse, and the firecrackers crackled. The surrounding people applauded loudly, and a thousand firecrackers were set off for a quarter of an hour.
Su Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Today is the opening day of Tianxiang Building, in order to thank all new and old customers, scatter happy money!" β
The two guys got the order, and the copper coin wrapped in red seemed to be raining, although the money was not much, but people flocked to it, and it was lively in front of Tianxianglou for a while.
Su Xiujin stood far away, a little girl was squeezed out by the crowd, squatted and fell to the ground, Su Xiujin hurriedly stepped forward to help the little girl, who knew that at this time, the guy threw a handful of money in the direction of Su Xiujin.
The crowd flocked to it, Su Xiujin was busy protecting the little girl, she couldn't move, the little girl was not light, she was also a half-old girl, how could she afford it, she was sweating profusely after a while.
"Give it to me." Zhao Yechu's voice came, and he saw Su Xiujin surrounded in the crowd, holding the girl in her hand, trembling, without thinking about it, she entered the crowd.
Su Xiujin handed over the girl, the girl climbed on Zhao Yechu's shoulder, Zhao Yechu pulled Su Xiujin's hand through the sweat towel, Su Xiujin was stunned, the crowd surged, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that it would be detrimental to her reputation.
Zhao Yechu held the girl baby in one hand and Su Xiujin in the other, and it took several difficulties to get out of the crowd.
Su Xiujin let go of his hand, and Zhao Yechu withdrew the sweat towel with some melancholy.
A woman hurriedly ran over, and the girl shouted, "Mother! β
Seeing that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, the woman thanked them for their kindness, Zhao Yechu couldn't help but admonish, and muttered: "I haven't grown up yet, so it's strange that I can afford to hold my thin arms and legs." β
Su Xiujin heard it and glanced at him impatiently.
Over the brazier, play the dragon and lion dance, sacrifice to the God of Wealth, please the God of the Stove, a lot of effort down, most of the diners come in and sit down, only to see the tables and chairs of Tianxianglou are placed a lot of compactly, rows of cabinets are full of fresh vegetables and beef and mutton, there are guys standing next to the cabinets, shelves and many baskets, and Tianxianglou's big fat Li is standing behind the window with a smile on his face, and he is full of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, all kinds of seasonings, as well as the big bone broth and spicy fresh soup that is hot and fragrant.
"What is this going to do?"
"And so many dishes?"
"Yes, yes, what tricks is Tianxianglou going to play?"
Diners are pointing and pointing, a little confused.
The young man saw an old acquaintance and stepped forward and said, "Master Chen, you are here, you can order whatever you want, our shopkeeper said, I will send you an extra plate of spicy cucumbers." β
Master Chen also asked, "What's the point?" β
The young man saw that everyone's eyes fell on him, and he said half proudly: "Look at this list, there are all the dishes in it, you just take the basket and the tongs, and what dishes you like to put in the basket, and then give us the small ones, what kind of pasta to eat, just tell us, let's give the list to the big fat Master Li, the bone broth and fresh soup are as you choose, just wait for a while, and serve you the food!" β
After this explanation, Master Chen still couldn't believe it, and he also felt that this method was fresh, and said, "Okay, then I'll try it!" β
The diners didn't move, just watched Master Chen try the first one.
Mr. Chen walked to the cabinet, the guy took the clips and baskets, the dazzling vegetables really made Mr. Chen difficult, the white and tender cabbage radish, look at this string looks good, that string seems to be more, pick and choose down, the diners laughed, and some good people said: "Master Chen, it is dark again!" β
Master Chen made a big red face, and picked out two skewers of beef that he loved every day, and then handed the basket to the young man.
"Master Chen, do you use bone broth or fresh soup?" Big Fat Lee asked.
Master Chen said: "Bone broth and bone broth, I don't like spicy food." β
Big Fat Li said: "Okay! "The hands are fast, the vegetables are scalded in the water, the beef is seasoned, and it is handed over to the young man who helps, after it is cooked, add the fine noodles that Boss Chen loves to eat, put all kinds of dishes, pour the soup, pour the ancestral secret sauce, and a big bowl will be out of the pot.
Boss Chen looked at the big bowl in front of him, there were red and green, meat and vegetarian, steaming. The young man handed him the chopsticks: "Boss Chen, please use it slowly." β
Boss Chen said "so fast", picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the thin noodles, and took a bite with a sneer.
The diners secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Boss Chen's eyes slowly lit up: "Not bad, not bad!" Delicious. β
I sandwiched the beef again, tasted it, and said: "The beef tastes good, it is the craftsmanship of Big Fat Li!" β
Then there are vegetables, radish and cabbage, which are just right raw and cooked, crisp and sweet. In a blink of an eye, Mr. Chen ate a big bowl, even drank half a bowl of bone broth, wiped his mouth, and asked how much it was, the young man stretched out two fingers, and Boss Chen said: "It's so delicious, it's worth two dollars of silver!" As he spoke, he dug into his pocket, "Bring me another bowl and bring it back to my mother-in-law to taste!" β
