The snow was falling and spreading a flawless white coat under the gray sky.

In winter, the snow will fall heavier and heavier, the business of the restaurant is getting better day by day, everyone can't go out to do things in the winter, they all stay at home, and when they are bored, they will ask a few friends to come out of the restaurant to get together.

For the women of each family, shopping with sisters is also to go to that superior place, Langyue Pavilion has a special private room, some people will bring up all kinds of clothes for them to choose and compare, the room is comfortably furnished, the charcoal fire is warm, it is really a good place to pass the time.

And in this private room, a twenty-eight girl is dressed in a red silk begonia Baifu satin robe, with two pairs of golden hairpins on her head, and she is lifelike as the woman walks, as if she is flying into the sky.

The girl was holding a piece of jade-colored embroidered phoenix pattern halo brocade, standing in front of the brass mirror and comparing it left and right, with a happy smile on her face.

"Sister Chu, how about you look at this piece of brocade and use it as a coat on my birthday?"

The woman who was called Sister Chu was sitting on the carved chair leisurely drinking tea at the moment, her face was soft, she glanced up when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "This pattern is not bad, but this color is a little bright." ”

Liu Yingxue frowned slightly, looked at her eyes carefully, and nodded heavily, "That's right, Sister Chu's vision has always been excellent, and this color is a little bright." ”

After saying that, he threw this horse away, turned around and went to the next pile to pick it again.

Chu Yunxuan chuckled and shook her head, tilted her head slightly and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?" ”

The maid standing behind immediately replied, "Miss Hui, it's not too late, but it's time to go back to the house for dinner?" ”

Chu Yunxuan looked at Liu Yingxue, who was on the way to choose clothes, and a trace of embarrassment crossed her eyes.

At this moment, a female steward of Langyue Pavilion, who was in charge of serving the two young ladies on the side, was extremely observant, and knew at a glance that this young lady must be hungry, but she couldn't bear to disturb the interest of that young lady, so she was embarrassed for a while, so she smiled politely. The housekeeper walked up to the maid and said in a small voice, "This sister, it's late now, do you want to eat?" ”

The maid glanced at Chu Yunxuan. found that there was no objection, so he smiled at the housekeeper and said, "Since my sister said so, then Langyue Pavilion is in charge of the rice?" ”

The housekeeper smiled slightly and said: "Although Langyue Pavilion has never provided food, Langyue Pavilion and Tianfu Restaurant have cooperation, if the two young ladies go." The regulars of Langyue Pavilion can get a 20% discount."

After the housekeeper finished speaking with some caution, she glanced at Chu Yunxuan, who was drinking tea with her eyes down, and found that the other party did not react, and she was secretly anxious in her heart, these two young ladies have extraordinary backgrounds, one is a scholar's daughter, and the other is a young lady, if she doesn't serve well, she can't eat and walk around.

His mind turned sharply, and he said, "But these are nothing. There is a special dish in the Fu Restaurant that day, and it is extremely warm to eat in such weather! ”

The maid looked at the young lady and immediately asked, "Oh? Sister, tell me what kind of dish it is. If it's delicious, my sister will try it! ”

The housekeeper's eyes were secretly happy, and she still said without hurry: "The name of that dish is called hot pot, but it is a delicate small pot served on the table, grilled with fine charcoal on the ground, and the pot has been boiling. Cook it yourself and eat it, but it has a different taste! ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yunxuan finally made a move, as if she had only heard half of it now. He turned his head with a chuckle and said, "This steward, although the private room of this Langyue Pavilion is also extremely warm, but the weather is very cold today, and his hands and feet are cold for a while. ”

"I don't know where the steward is talking about this shop? If it's far away, can you send the food over? ”

A happy smile appeared on the housekeeper's face, and she immediately said, "Miss Huichu." Not far away, let's go out and turn around the corner, when you and Miss Liu have eaten, you can come back and continue to choose! This private room is sure to be reserved for you. ”

Saying this, Chu Yunxuan was extremely satisfied, she was already a little curious when she heard what the steward said, but at this moment, she was thinking, this Langyue Pavilion is a good one, no wonder the thing sells so well.

After a few turns in his heart, he turned his head on his face, and called to Liu Yingxue, who was still choosing clothes over there: "Sister Liu, my sister is a little hungry, this steward said that there is a good shop next to it, let's try it today, and then choose it when we come back!" ”

When Liu Yingxue heard this, she thought about it, and nodded, her little face was slightly bulging, as playful and cute as a bun, "As soon as my sister said it, I was also hungry, since this is the case, then I will treat me today, come and thank my sister for accompanying me to pick out clothes!" ”

While the two were talking, the maid who followed them was already waiting for the two to walk away slowly, and the things in the room were also kept as they were, and the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and ordered this private room to take good care of it, and the charcoal fire could not be extinguished.

The cooperation between Langyue Pavilion and Tianfu Restaurant has gradually improved, Chen Langsheng's two younger brothers are responsible for the dyeing of fabrics, and this sales is Chen Langsheng's responsibility, because now he and Langyue Pavilion have been prosperous, so Xia Mei has a lot of ideas for Chen Lang's life, and told him some of the experiences she knew in her previous life without reservation.

Chen Langsheng has no knot, and his vision of Xia Mei has become different, he used to just think that this woman was kind-hearted, but now the deeper he goes, the more he understands that this woman is not inferior to her eyebrows!

So Chen Langsheng appreciated Xia Mei more and more, although he was not a scholar, but that gentleman's style was deep in his bones, so he only admired Xia Mei, but there was no extra thought.

The current model is negotiated by them, because Yongcheng and Liangcheng are not as prosperous as Qingshan Town, and there are many noble people in prosperous places, and if they want to become bigger, the high-end market is indispensable.

So this kind of high-end atmosphere and high-grade configuration is essential, so Langyue Pavilion will have so many high-end private rooms, the same, Tianfu will soon become the third floor of the private room, the screen curtain in the room, elegant and generous, unique style.

Chu Yunxuan carefully swept the layout in the room, secretly satisfied, and sat down on the chair covered with high-quality soft cushions.

Even the grinning Liu Yingxue noticed it, and praised it: "Sister Chu, this restaurant is not bad, and it is not much different from those in Wangcheng." ”

Chu Yunxuan smiled and bowed her head, and also agreed.

Since I'm here for that specialty, there's no reason to choose anything else, but the guy looks honest. A pair of lips and tongues were not as good as the slightest, and before they knew it, they ordered a few more snacks, and the guy politely retreated.

Here, Liu Yingxue pulled Chu Yunxuan happily talking about the clothes and colors just now, while imagining that she would be able to shine at the birthday banquet when she wore them. After a burst of laughter, there was a knock on the door, and then the dishes were set on the table very quickly, and the man said "Enjoy", and then softly withdrew.

Look at the dishes in front of you. Chu Yunxuan's eyes were surprised, this thing was indeed the first time she had seen it, and it was strange, but Liu Yingxue was much more direct, and exclaimed: "Ah! How can it be! Mama, quick, cook for me, I want to eat that chicken. ”

The maid behind her carefully waited for the two young ladies to eat, and the hot pot was steaming, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to eat. Chu Yunxuan felt that her whole body was overflowing with heat, her hands and feet were warm, Liu Yingxue's little face was flushed, and her cherry lips seemed to be coated with the most colorful rouge, adding a touch of charm.

Seeing her scheming and happy appearance, Chu Yunxuan felt a trace of bitterness in her heart, they were originally the daughters of important ministers, and they were both concubines, and they had a very good relationship with each other since childhood.

A few days ago, it was reported in the palace that both Han and Qianguo sent envoys at the same time to ask for marriage. And there is no princess of the right age in the palace...... Then it will fall on them, the daughters of courtiers.

Fate is so irresistible, their family naturally does not want them to marry far away. So they were sent to this border, and it happened that the ancestral business of the Chu family was here, so they stayed here to avoid the limelight.

But...... Chu Yunxuan's mouth became more and more bitter, whether she could avoid it or not, it was still unknown......

"Sister Chu, eat quickly! I found this little ball delicious. You taste it. ”

As she spoke, Chu Yunxuan found that there was an extra golden ball in her bowl, with a crispy skin, while Liu Yingxue looked at her with a smile, and her carefree appearance was really envious of others.

Cheering up, Chu Yunxuan pulled out a smile and nodded lightly: "Well, you eat too." After speaking, he put the golden ball into his mouth, and it was full of fragrance, his lips and tongue were satisfied, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aftertaste was endless.

It's just a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and let's take one step at a time!

…………

"Mrs. Xia, what are you doing here?"

In the kitchen, Xia Mei neither cooked nor watched the fire, but sat in front of the big basin and mashed the potatoes into puree, the clean water became muddy with the potato juice, and the pale yellow mud sank to the bottom of the water.

Liu Quan was a little dumbfounded, what is this for? Mashed potatoes can't be made in water, so how can you eat this mashed potatoes?

Wen Xi on the side leaned over and explained to Liu Quan in a low voice: "Shh, Master said she was going to make something new, let us look at the kitchen, don't disturb Master." ”

Liu Quan suddenly, Mrs. Xia was the most concentrated when she was making new things, and the consequences of disturbing it were unimaginable, so she should go out and wipe the table, although this would not be a meal, but Mrs. Xia said, hygiene must not be sloppy, let's clean it a few more times!

And at this moment, Xia Mei is in a difficult situation.

She thought about it, there are indeed many ways to make potatoes, and she has done potato starch on weekdays, which is used to thicken dishes, and the appearance and taste are much better, but the amount consumed in this way is not large, after all, there are only so many dishes to thicken, how much can you use again?

What potatoes can make to eat, she has already thought about it, those varieties are reserved for the future and slowly developed, and now, she wants to use potato starch to make something out, not just for thickening.

All she needs to do now is potato flour.

Potato vermicelli is a kind of food that is known in the streets and alleys in the previous life, smooth and strong is its characteristics, it can be served cold, can be cooked, and is highly nutritious, easy to digest, and the elderly and children can eat food.

It's just that although this thing is good, it is not easy to do it in ancient times, because the process of making zuò is not simple, and the temperature requirements are very high, including potato selection and powdering, ingredients thickening, fragrant and noodles, boiling water leakage, cold bath drying, this process is very complicated, ancient China has had this process since the Ming Dynasty, so now, it should also be done, right?

Xia Mei has no technical support, and completely relies on her own experience to grope forward, the hot pot has been selling well in the past two days, and Wen Xi is very busy, because she has to be responsible for the bottom soup of other restaurants, and she has to be responsible for the kitchen of this restaurant, and she is busy from morning to night all day long, so this potato flour, Xia Mei pulled Ji Lin to make it together.

Now Huang Hong and Ji Lin are also their own people, after all, in the time of natural disasters, if Xia Mei hadn't helped them, I'm afraid that the family would not be able to get over that hurdle, and the two of them naturally know how to repay their kindness in their hearts, and they will definitely not reveal half of the secret recipe.

Ji Lin is a pastry chef, and the skill of ramen is not much different from Xia Mei, Xia Mei first thought that the potato flour should be made into round strips, maybe it should be pulled by hand like noodles, but later she realized that she was too naïve.

After the alum slurry, the potato starch has become viscous, white and smooth, not like dough at all, so it can only be made into a honeycomb-like round hole piece, leak down, and dry it up after boiling water, and the potato flour can be regarded as made.

The area of this round hole should be large, thin, and the round hole is uniform, the size is consistent, which requires a lot of carpenter's craftsmanship, Xia Meihua worked a lot of effort to find a carpenter master in Liangcheng, and said that he tried to see if he could make it.

The previous process, the temperature control requirements are very high, Xia Mei has been yàn countless times, the potatoes don't know how much to waste, of course, she is also distressed, but since she has done it, she has to grit her teeth and continue to do it.

Wu Song now follows Xia Mei in the restaurant many times, because Xia Mei runs around, Qingshan Town relies on him to press Wen Xi, Xinghua was brought to Yongcheng by Xia Mei, Wen Hao is there, and he takes care of it a little better.

Xinghua understands Xia Mei's intentions, such prosperity is something she must come into contact with, if she follows Lu Ling in the future, and she has not seen much of the world, wouldn't it be a shame? Now following behind Wen Hao, running back and forth between Langyue Pavilion and Tianfu Restaurant, those boudoir ladies are also transparent.

The rest, without Xia Mei's teaching, she can also learn, Xinghua is a clever woman, kind and lively, and now she has put her mind to learn these, the natural effect is abundant, plus the group of young embroidery girls in Langyue Pavilion all day long, the clothes have become well-fitting and pretty, and the whole person has changed greatly.

When Xia Mei got the round hole piece, the New Year was approaching, the restaurant was gradually closed, Xinghua and Wen Hao, and then rushed back from Yongcheng.

"Yikes! Sister Xinghua! You're back! ”

When Wen Xi was far away, he saw the apricot blossom, and became extremely beautiful, the whole person looked gentle and confident, Wen Xi happily pounced on it, pulled the apricot blossom and didn't let go, pestering her to talk.

Xia Mei was also surprised, and then chuckled with relief, so good, such an apricot blossom, her demeanor is at least the appearance of a lady.

When she returned home, Chen almost didn't dare to recognize Xinghua, until Xinghua cried and hugged her, she woke up, the mother hugged and cried together, Chen Daniu couldn't hide the smile on his face, but his eyes were also full of relief.

Married women, married women, in fact, in the hearts of parents, as long as their daughters live happily, they are better than anything else. (To be continued.) )xh:.74.240.212
