Chapter 16: Wine and Fruit Club
"Ah Umbrella, I can lend you some if you don't have any money, why did you rent such a big piece of land?" Nan Leyang looked at the temporary stall less than two meters wide unhappily.
"Brother Leyang, Sister Ah Umbrella is rich, she just can't afford to spend it." Jin Ling has been following Ah Umbrella for a long time, so she naturally understands Ah Umbrella's thoughts.
Ah Umbrella raised her eyebrows, she rented a small piece of land in the four main roads, and each stall hired two apprentices to help, and the combined money was enough for her to buy another yard, of course she was reluctant. Ah Umbrella has always felt that he shouldn't spend too much money, and he will definitely not spend a penny more, maybe he will lack that little money during the trip that day.
On the day of the wine and fruit party, the city center was lively early in the morning. The cooking, delivery, and greeting guests are very busy.
The Wu couple, Jin Ling and Nan Leyang each presided over a stall, while Ah Umbrella and the Wu girl sat on the competition stage.
Ah Umbrella also wanted to try to host the stall and give food to the city residents, but he couldn't survive the disapproval of the Wu couple and the two children had to preside over the grinding, so Ah Umbrella had to make oden alone on the competition stage.
The preliminaries are all about the taste of the shock.
Ah Umbrella has long wanted to make oden during the preliminaries, and the texture and taste of fish tofu, fish, shrimp balls, crab sticks, etc., which are already very unique, are definitely irresistible delicious, and as long as enough fish tofu and fish and shrimp balls are prepared in advance, the first choice for cooking and large amounts of good taste on the day of the competition.
In addition, oden is skewered with bamboo skewers, which is convenient for preparation in advance and convenient for distribution and eating.
Ah Umbrella also instructed them that each person should only send one string, and they should not be allowed to eat more, telling them that new flavors of things will always make people want to eat more, but they are easy to get tired of eating more.
Jin Ling said: "Sister Umbrella, do you think that eating too much will cost too much?" β
Sure enough, the stall of the umbrella shop, after experiencing the initial bleakness, immediately became hot, unlike other dishes, you need to take chopsticks and spoons to taste, and you have to queue for a long time. Although there were many people lining up in front of the umbrella shop, the line moved quickly, and it didn't take long to get a bunch of oden and eat it directly.
In particular, the bright brand: "Delicious is rare, limited to one string per person" is even more eye-catching.
"Give me a bunch of Beiling to cook." The eldest lady who lined up at the front of the line said.
I don't want to have some unnecessary explanations, Ah Umbrella directly named the oden as Beiling Cook.
"This lady, I remember you have already taken a bunch." Nan Leyang said with a grin.
"Where?! Don't talk nonsense, this is the first time I've been here. β
Nan Leyang didn't pay much attention, handed a string to her, and continued to distribute it to the next person. Aunt Su took the Beiling boil, and hurried to the next street without stopping, and heard Uncle Wang say that there was also a stall with an umbrella shop over there.
The stall on the other main road was even more popular, knowing that the stall owner was the daughter of the city lord, the city's citizens all rushed up and lined up, and a girl who looked like a maid begged Jin Ling: "Miss Jin, just give me two more copies, Mrs. and Miss are waiting." β
Jin Ling recognized that it was her friend's maid, hesitated again and again, but still said: "No, I can't give you many, so let's give you a bowl of soup and take it back." The soup is also delicious. β
"Nextβ"
"Huh? Haven't you been here once? Jin Ling took back the Beiling boil that was handed out.
"Ah, that, that, I'm here for soup." The man took out a bowl out of nowhere, Jin Ling was stunned for a moment, and scooped a bowl of soup for him funny.
Soon, Jin Ling found that there were more people in the queue who were holding bowls, and the regulations only said that they would only cook a string of Beiling, but they did not say that there was a limited amount of soup. Jin Ling hurriedly asked the apprentice on the side to go back to prepare the soup, and by the way, let her maid go back to the house and ask someone to help.
Ah Umbrella stared at Beiling Cook on the competition stage, she didn't know if she had sent out a few batches of Beiling Cook, but she felt that now she smelled this tempting aroma, and she couldn't arouse her interest anymore.
"Three hundred and forty-four, please prepare the dishes and present them to the judging table."
Ah Umbrella came back to his senses, the little guy who reported the news still hadn't left, just stared at Beiling Cooking, and willingly let the Wu family girl fill a bowl of soup, pick up two or three strings of Beiling Cook and hand it to the little guy.
When the little guy walked away, Ah Umbrella stretched his waist, opened the clay pot that had been cooking on the side, the fragrant aroma overflowed, and tasted it carefully, Ah Umbrella nodded, this soup is almost ready, just add fish tofu and fish balls.
After a short time, Ah Umbrella put the good Beiling boil into a ceramic bowl, one bowl is a rich milky white soup base, with the freshness of medicinal herbs, in the middle is a few round and lovely, crystal white and tender balls, and the other bowl is a bright red spicy soup base, mixed with light and dark fish balls and beef balls. Both soups have a hint of intoxicating wine and fruit wine.
After presenting the things, Ah Umbrella began to prepare the dishes for the afternoon semi-finals.
There are only 36 places to enter the semi-finals, each of whom must make three dishes, and the chief judge of the semi-finals will only taste one bite of each dish.
On the main road to the east of Beiling City, a man in his forties held a few strings of Beiling cooking in his right hand, and a bowl of soup in his left hand, eating happily, looking up at Jin Ling, who was busy on the stall not far away, shook his head and said: "This little girl, there are many delicacies beside her, if I were her, I would not want to go into the mountain to practice." β
There was no accident, relying on the novel dishes, Ah Umbrella entered the finals of the evening. When the moon rises, it is the moment of the final.
It was not dark yet, and around the competition table in the center of the city, there were dense layers of spectators, although they couldn't eat, but they couldn't stop them from watching the excitement. Preparations began on the stage
"I think what can win the first place this time, in addition to the two major restaurants of Jufu and Juyuan, the sudden rise of the umbrella shop can also compete, and the Beiling cooking is really delicious."
"That's right, I heard that the umbrella shop has launched some new products before, and the taste is excellent."
"You don't know, that umbrella shop is actually opened by the city lord's family, I heard that the chef is still Qin Jiu's apprentice."
No matter how much the audience discussed, Ah Umbrella couldn't hear it, at this moment she was very excited, looking at the judging platform from afar, trying to find out the delicious immortal cultivator, but it was still early at the moment, and there was no one on the stage.
"Umbrella, what are you looking at?" Nan Leyang approached Ah Umbrella curiously.
"Sister Ah Umbrella is looking for immortals again." Jin Ling covered her mouth and smiled.
Nan Leyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly regained his innocent curiosity.
Ah Umbrella looked around, fortunately, the finals were far away from each competition platform, and there were only three of them on the stage at the moment. His finger tapped Jin Ling's forehead and said, "You little girl, don't talk nonsense." Fortunately, only Le Yang is there. β
Jin Ling also knew that she had done something wrong, and stuck out her tongue, only the city lord's family knew about this immortal, even after the Ding family betrayed the Jin family, they did not dare to reveal it everywhere.
"Okay, didn't you say you wanted to help? Let's start cooking. β
Ah Umbrella smiled, no longer paid too much attention to the judging table, and put his mind on cooking.
