Chapter 211
"Second son, you make it clear to Lao Tzu." Li Pinghai, who was sitting in the main seat smoking a dry tobacco pouch, suddenly became gloomy.
As soon as Li Zhengtai heard what his son Li Pinghai said, he immediately told everything he saw in Yuezhen before noon. Li Zhengtai's speech was a little messy, and there were only two things to sum up.
The first thing is that Kexiangju has set up a small booth in front of the store, welcoming passers-by to taste the new vermicelli and vermicelli for free. The stall is not big, just two small pots, and it is full of clear soup. The so-called clear soup is actually boiling well water, and there are no simple seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, so you just put vermicelli or vermicelli into the pot and boil it. This is for passers-by to taste the taste of the vermicelli and the noodles themselves.
Li Zhengtai inquired that for half a month, Kexiangju planned to use vermicelli and vermicelli as the theme, and would launch two dishes with vermicelli or vermicelli as the main material every day.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing for the Li family's fourth room, you must know that the small workshop of the fourth room accounts for seventy or eighty percent of the market share of fans and noodles in Yuezhen.
And Kexiangju is also a well-known century-old store in the Tianqi Dynasty, and the former flagship head office is in Delong County, which is dozens of miles away from Yue Town. More than ten years ago, the then ruler overcame objections and insisted on moving the head office to the capital, and then opened branches in various places one after another. The branch maintains the most quintessential part of the main store of Kexiangju, and blends into the local food habits, which is very characteristic of each region.
The Kexiangju branch here in Yuezhen was newly opened on the second day of the second month of the new year, and the specialty dish is the whole fish feast. The so-called feast is ninety-nine eighty-one. There are 7749 dishes in the middle banquet and 9 dishes in the small banquet, all of which are carefully prepared with fish as the main ingredient and other ingredients. It can be said that the guest fragrance residence here in Yue Town is here to be able to taste all kinds of fish and seafood from the south and north of the apocalypse.
Now Kexiangju has changed the theme temporarily, which really surprised all the gluttons. Could it be that Kexiangju, the person in charge who always wants to play one out at a time, and others can never keep up with his rhythm come to Yuezhen?
The dragon saw that the head and tail of the Kexiangju ruler did not come to Yuezhen. Lee didn't know. But there was one thing he saw. And it's clear. The fans and vermicelli displayed at Kexiangju are not from his family's small workshop. Although Li Zhengtai was very unwilling, he had to admit that the vermicelli and vermicelli used in the small food stall near the entrance of Kexiangju were of much better quality than those processed by his small workshop. Very resilient. And it won't be mushy if you cook more.
The vermicelli and vermicelli used by Kexiangju. It has always been provided by the Li family's four-room small workshop. Today was originally the day he went to Kexiangju to settle last month's account plus deliver again. Who would have thought that Kexiangju was very happy to settle the payment, and it was also very happy to receive the goods again, but he refused happily.
After that, Li Zhengtai spent a lot of money. I learned from a small steward of Kexiangju that the vermicelli and vermicelli that Kexiangju is using now are actually from Li Kee's grocery store.
Lee Kee Grocery Store!
Li Zhengtai naturally knew who opened this Li Ji grocery store. Isn't it the one who relied on his eldest and highest seniority in Lijiatun to say that his third brother, who had been succeeded to the second room, was the eldest grandson born to the short-lived son of his family. It's hell that short-lived ghost can give birth to a son who is older than himself.
After listening to Li Zhengtai explain the general matter, not to mention that Li Pinghai's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and the faces of the other people present were not very good. Especially Li Xiaofeng, he almost rushed out of his yard and went to the door of the Seventh Uncle's ancestral house to scold.
Fortunately, he was temporarily held by Li Qian's and Li Zhao's two daughters-in-law. What are you kidding, if Li Xiaofeng's family rushes out to the Seventh Uncle's ancestral house like this, I am afraid that Li Zheng and the clan elders will come to settle the accounts together as soon as possible.
"Second child, the noodles you are holding in your hand were bought from Li Kee Grocery Store?" Li Pinghai's hand holding the cigarette stick trembled a little.
"Yes. The son deliberately asked a friend who had a face to go to Li Kee's grocery store in disguise to buy it, but it was only a medium color, eighty copper plates a catty. I heard my son's friend say that the best grade of vermicelli is only 20 copper plates more expensive than this medium grade. It's just that in the past few days, most of them have been supplied to Kexiangju, and the rest have also been covered by several big families in the town. It's sold out now, and you'll have to wait a few more days if you want to eat it. ”
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you go to the kitchen and cook all these vermicelli. We...... Taste first. After all, Li Pinghai has been doing fans and noodles for more than 20 years, and whether the quality of these fans and noodles is good or not, in fact, you can judge one or two by looking at it once or twice.
Over the years, there are no other people in the market who have processed vermicelli and vermicelli. No matter how much you process it, it is not as good as those fans and noodles from your own small workshop. Not to mention, just boiling it in water for a little longer will not be mushy or sticky. What's more, good vermicelli noodles have to be transparent and chewy in the mouth. The vermicelli and vermicelli processed by his own small workshop are chewy, and the only unsatisfactory thing may be that the color is not transparent enough.
Now the noodles that Li Zhengtai, the second child of his own family, bought from the Li Ji grocery store, are cheaper than those sold in his own small workshop, not to mention that the quality is almost comparable to his own best stall at first glance, but I don't know the taste...... Li Pinghai knew that he couldn't panic, and with a bit of luck, he motioned to Li Qianshi to hurry up and go to the kitchen to make the noodles into food.
"Hey." Li Qian answered, then reached out and took the noodles from Li Zhengtai, turned around and went to the kitchen. According to Li Pinghai's meaning, Li Qian didn't dare to put any more thought into it, and only made the simplest noodle soup. I saw Li Qian's hands and feet neatly soak the vermicelli in warm water to soften, control the moisture of the vermicelli, and then directly pour the vermicelli into the boiling clear soup, and after the clear soup boiled again, he just added a handful of salt to the pot, stirred it a few times and then put it, and did not dare to put anything else.
Li Pinghai, as the head of the Li family's four-room family, is naturally the first to move chopsticks at the dining table. Under the gaze of everyone in the family, Li Pinghai sandwiched a wide brown translucent vermicelli. The noodles were even more slippery than Li Pinghai expected, and Li Pinghai almost failed to clamp them.
After putting it in his mouth and chewing it a few times, Li Pinghai's face darkened. The taste, compared with the processing of his own small workshop, is really not inferior at all.
"Master, is it unpalatable? If you want to talk about me, who can make chewy vermicelli except our family, who ......" San Lang Li Junbai said as he quickly added a chopstick to his bowl, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and then became dumb in an instant.
"Daddy...... Look at this...... "Li Zhengtai, who has tasted the taste of vermicelli, except that the vermicelli is a little salty, is not inferior to the vermicelli processed by his small workshop in other aspects. The problem is that he's just tasting the average mid-range now. I believe that the best one that has been sold out will taste better.
Now the more terrible thing is the price, the quality is better, but the price is only a hundred copper plates, which is the same as the price of the most ordinary mid-range goods in his small workshop, this, this ...... But how is it good.
Li Zhengtai panicked and turned his head to Li Pinghai, but was surprised to find Li Pinghai sitting there motionless.
"Daddy......"
Li Zhengtai, who realized that something was not quite right, hurriedly stepped forward and gently pushed Li Pinghai, who would have thought that Li Pinghai would fall backwards so straight.
"Daddy!" Li Zhengguo, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Pinghai, so Li Pinghai didn't fall directly to the ground. But Rao is like this, and Li Pinghai also looks very bad.
The fourth room of the Li family suddenly became a pot of porridge.
There is a Tulangzhong in Lijiatun, whose natural surname is Li, and the relationship belongs to the side branch of the Li family, and the father of the ancestor and the seventh uncle is two brothers, and he belongs to the same ancestor as Li Pinghai. Li Langzhong was soon invited to the fourth room of the Li family by Erlang Li Juntong.
Li Langzhong took this pulse, and then checked Li Pinghai's eyelids, then shook his head again and again, and after thinking about it, he said slowly: "I...... Let's try prescribing two doses of medicine first. But...... Some things still have to be prepared early. ”
Dr. Lang Zhong said so, as a family member of the patient, how can there be a reason that he does not understand. Need to get up early, what to prepare? It's not that after that, it's not the aftermath.
As soon as Li Xiaofeng heard what Li Langzhong said, he immediately jumped up and rushed directly at Li Langzhong.
"You quack doctor who has suffered a thousand cuts, the old woman makes you talk nonsense! Let you talk nonsense! ”
Li Langzhong was not very happy to go to the fourth room of the Li family, if it weren't for Erlang Li Juntong begging bitterly, he almost knelt down with him. The reason why Li Langzhong is like this is also because he had come to the fourth room of the Li family before, and Li Junyang, who was still Liulang, was sick. At that time, Li Jun Yang Yuan was just a little cold, and he took two doses of fever and cold medicine, but a few copper plates could restore his health, and as a result, Li Xiaofeng, who refused to invite Langzhong, dragged Shengsheng into lung disease. When Li Langzhong arrived, Li Junyang almost received the lunch box directly. In the end, not to mention that I couldn't receive the consultation fee, and even the medicine fee was posted. When Li Langzhong went to the fourth room of the Li family for the second time, he helped Li Zhengmin's third son look at the broken leg......
In Li Langzhong's opinion, the Li family's four rooms are a beast without any humanity. To see the illness of this family, the whole family is abused.
Now Li Langzhong, who was not willing to continue to help the abuse, did not take precautions, so Li Xiaofeng scratched a scratch on his face that was not too long, but it was also very obvious. Li Langzhong was immediately furious.
"Li Xiaofeng! Are you willing to go to your four rooms? People like you ......"
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all our fault. This is the ...... of the diagnosis" Li Zhengtai hurriedly took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into Li Langzhong's hand. Who would have thought that the broken silver was directly thrown out by Li Langzhong.
"Keep this silver for Li Laosi to buy a coffin!" (To be continued......)
PS: It's late again......
