The capital of Tianqi is still as prosperous as in the past, with people coming and going on the streets, and there is a lot of traffic.

Lan Yuejiao returned here again, full of emotion, really time is like water, time is like a shuttle, the past is like a passing cloud, and it is today in a flash.

Although Lin Miao has not lived in this place for a long time, he still has some feelings for this place, and now he will inevitably sigh when he revisits the old place.

"Sister Lan Yuejiao, let's find an inn to live in first, and then prepare to open a store when we find a suitable store, right?" Lin Miao asked Lan Yuejiao.

Lan Yuejiao nodded.

The three of them were about to find an inn to live in, when suddenly, the originally lively street suddenly became commotion.

"Let's let, let's let" I don't know whose family it is, shouting along the way.

The people in the streets fled in terror.

I saw a group of people and horses coming from a distance, walking in front, are two teams of neatly dressed housekeepers and maids, after this tall horse, is an old man who is close to the old, he is well-dressed, elegant bearing, at a glance the official eunuch's house.

Behind him, there was a carriage with a luxurious palanquin on it.

The onlookers on the road were whispering.

"Isn't this Liu Shilang?"

"Which Liu Shirou?"

"It's the Liu Shilang who recently returned to his hometown, I heard that he has a daughter, named Liu Qiaoyue, who was born as beautiful as a flower, and captivated the country and the city. Now she is a young girl of fifteen or sixteen, and many princes and grandchildren want to marry. ”

"Is that the one sitting in the carriage in the back?"

"Probably right? Sure enough, it's everyone's girlfriend. The streets of the capital are so bustling and lively, she still sits upright, and even the curtain corner of the sedan chair has never been lifted a little. ”

Lin Miao also stretched her neck curiously, wanting to see how Liu Qiaoyue they said looked like she was and whether she was more beautiful than Sister Lanyuejiao.

It's a pity that the sedan chair has been closed all the time and has never been moved.

"Lin Miao, let's go, there's nothing to see about these bustles." Lan Yuejiao said lightly.

Although Ling Rui was also curious to look at the team, after hearing Lan Yuejiao's words, he quickly retracted his attention, and the three of them walked towards the inn next to them.

It is not so easy to set up a shop in the capital and open the door to do business, let alone the three of them who are newcomers.

However, as the saying goes, "money can make ghosts grind", fortunately, when she left the dark cooking world, Lan Yuejiao brought enough coils, so they didn't live long in the inn, and found a suitable location and opened a restaurant.

The name of the hotel is "In case of hotel".

The proprietress of the hotel, of course, is Lan Yuejiao, because she is the only funder. The chef is Lin Miao, because she is very good at cooking, although Lan Yuejiao's cooking skills are also very good, but where can she do this kind of dirty work. There are more important things for her to do, such as the bookkeeper and shopkeeper.

Of course, the matter of running the hall and purchasing fell on Ling Rui, but he was also happy to accept such an arrangement. When he was busy, he also helped Lin Miao take charge.

In case the hotel has been open for several days, but there are not many customers.

It is often encountered that there are a few guests, probing their brains, hesitantly standing at the door of the hotel.

Ling Rui immediately greeted him, with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, please inside, we have just opened here, the dishes are novel, the price is fair, and the taste is good."

"You just opened? I've never heard of it before, but I don't know what to do with a hotel. ”

"Guest officer, sit inside, try it to know if it's delicious." Ling Rui saw that the guests were hesitating, and hurriedly greeted him.

The hesitant expression on the guest's face became stricter, "What if the restaurant is not delicious?" ”

After speaking, he shook his head and left again hesitantly.

"Guest officer, don't go, come in and try it, belch!"

At this time, the three of them were sitting at the table in the hall, looking boredly at other people's restaurants and inns, and they were full of guests.

It's time for dinner, but if they go to the restaurant, there won't be a single guest.

Lin Miao sighed, "How can there be no one?" Even if you're curious, you should come in and take a look. Are we setting our prices too high? ”

"They haven't even entered the door, they haven't even looked at the menu, how do they know how our prices are set." Lan Yuejiao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.

I didn't bring out much, and I had already spent a lot of money on this store, plus the fixed expenses of three people a day, if the business didn't open again, it would be a bit stretched.

Lan Yuejiao is also frowning, the three of them have no experience in opening doors to do business, and now they have opened a store all of a sudden, but they don't know how to attract customers to their doors.

"It's definitely not the way to go on like this." Ling Rui muttered.

Lin Miao supported his cheeks with both hands, and also frowned, thinking hard. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "That's right! As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. We can also have a vegetable fragrance, not afraid of deep alleys. ”

"Aren't you afraid of deep alleys?"

"That's right! We can stir-fry a few dishes and put them at the door, and when the guests smell the aroma of the vegetables, they will naturally follow the aroma of the dishes and come to eat. Lin Miao said happily.

"Hmmm! It's a good idea. The other two also thought it was a good idea.

Just do it.

Lin Miao and Ling Rui went into the back kitchen, ready to cook a few good dishes.

"Lin Miao, what do you want to cook?" Ling Rui asked.

"Of course, it's about making fragrant dishes. Let's make Sichuan's famous dish back to the pot meat. This dish is unique, fragrant, oily, and can arouse people's appetite. Lin Miao said as she rolled up her sleeves and picked a piece of fine pork belly from the ingredient rack.

"I'll help you." Ling Rui saw that she was full of energy, and she hurriedly came over to help.

"No, this dish is very simple, I can make it myself." Lin Miao hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for Ling Rui to stand a little farther away.

I saw that she washed the selected pork belly, then put it in the pot, added water, then put star anise and bay leaves, then boiled over high heat, continued to roll, and when the pork belly was cooked to the point that it could be pierced by chopsticks, she turned off the fire, fished the pork belly out of the pot, immersed it in cold water, and cooled it quickly.

"Why do you want to soak the boiled pork belly in cold water?" Ling Rui couldn't help but ask.

"One is for quick cooling, and the other is because the boiled pork belly will tighten and become firm after being stirred with cold water, and it will be more chewy as soon as the oil comes out of the oil pot after a while." Lin Miao explained.

She tested the temperature of the pork belly with her hands to make sure it was not hot, then fished it out and cut it into thin slices with a knife for later use.

Then, Lin Miao selected the green and fragrant garlic seedlings from the food shelf, removed the roots and yellow leaves, and then cut the garlic seedlings into beautiful sections.

Cut a little ginger slice and set aside.

Lin Miao washed the pot, burned the bottom of the pot to a slight yellow over high heat, and then put oil. Because the bottom of the pot has been burned hot, as soon as the oil enters the pot, it makes a sizzling sound, and the bubbles in the oil are quickly churned out, and as the oil smoke is evaporated, the oil surface becomes flat, and the oil has rolled.

Lin Miao put all the freshly cut pork belly into the boiling oil.

Just listening to the sound of beeping, the pork belly was in the hot oil, and soon it turned up the curls, and the aroma of the meat burst out.

Lin Miao gently turned over the pork belly, the meat slices that had been cooked, soon became crystal clear, and the oil in it was also stirred out, and the originally fat meat slices had been rolled into a roll at this time, and the whole body was clear, and it was not so fat, and it became a thin slice of meat.

Seeing that all the meat slices had been rolled into thin rolls, Lin Miao immediately put the ginger slices into it.

With a sizzle, as soon as the ginger slices were put into the pot, the oil flowers were tumbling, and the pot was full of jubilation.

Lin Miao put in the spicy bean paste again, and as soon as the red and bright bean paste was put into the pot, the originally clear and crystal slices of meat were dyed into a bright red color, which made people swallow their saliva when they looked at it.

The aroma is overflowing, and the pot is noisy.

Lin Miao hurriedly put the garlic sprouts into the pot, the unique fragrance of the garlic sprouts, coupled with the taste of bean paste, and the fragrance of pork belly, blended into the aromatic taste of the meat.

As soon as the garlic sprouts turned from verdant to dark green, Lin Miao quickly applied various seasonings, and then quickly put the vegetables out of the pot.

A fragrant return to the pot is ready.

"Wow! It smells so good. Can I taste one first? Ling Rui couldn't help but swallow.

"Yes." Lin Miao used a spatula, hooked some on the plate, put it in a clean small bowl, and handed it to Ling Rui.

Ling Rui tasted a piece and immediately praised it, "Wow! It's so delicious, this dish is put at our door, and it is guaranteed to be full of guests immediately. Ling Rui gave a thumbs up as he ate.

Lin Miao happily took the plate out.

Lan Yuejiao also greeted happily, "It's so fragrant, I smell it outside." ”

"I just tasted it too, and it tastes really delicious." Ling Rui followed behind and couldn't help but say.

"Ling Rui, you quickly set up a table at the door, put this dish at the door, and then put a chopstick holder and put the chopsticks. In this way, if a customer who wants to try it comes, you can try it directly. Lan Yuejiao arranged.

"Oh, that's good."

Ling Rui quickly set up a table at the door of the hotel. This fragrant, oily back pot meat is placed on the table.

Immediately, there were passers-by who were attracted by the scent.

"Ahh It smells so good. What kind of dish is this? ”

"This is a hotel, what if it's a hotel? It seems to be newly opened. ”

"Although I haven't eaten it, I don't know how the craftsmanship is, but looking at the dishes on this plate, the color and flavor are complete, and the craftsmanship of this chef must be good."

Although there are many people who are curious to wait and see, no one comes forward to try it.

Ling Rui hurriedly stepped forward and explained to the crowd standing there onlookers, "This dish has just been made by the chef of our restaurant, you can try it, it tastes really good!" ”

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, although they were a little moved, but no one stepped forward to move their chopsticks.

"Come and try it, it's free, it's free. How about tasting it? Ling Rui kept greeting everyone, but no one stepped forward.

Lan Yuejiao and Lin Miao watched from behind, looking at each other. What's wrong with these people? Why is it that no one wants to try it for free? Is it a fear of being toxic?

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, raising the dust from the streets, rolling up the leaves on the trees, and blowing over.

The original fresh and delicious back to the pot meat was soon covered with a layer of dust, and two leaves also fell into the dish.

When Ling Rui saw it, his face turned green, he hurriedly picked up his chopsticks, took out the two leaves, and smiled wryly, "It's just leaves, falling from the sky, not in the way, not in the way." ”

"Cut~"

"Ouch."

The crowd of onlookers, who were still full of interest, dispersed in disgust when they saw this scene.

"Whoa! Don't go. It's just a leaf falling from the sky. If you go to a restaurant to eat, this will never happen. Ling Rui shouted after everyone, but no one paid attention to him.

Ay! Lan Yuejiao and Lin Miao sighed one after another.

"It doesn't seem to work this way." Lan Yuejiao sat down at the table again.

Ling Rui stood at the door dejectedly, staring blankly at the dusty back pot meat, crying with a sad face, completely losing the joy of greeting guests just now.

Lin Miao also pouted, frowned, and looked out the window with empty eyes.

"This method should be fine." Lin Miao muttered, "You see, as soon as we put the dishes out, there were passers-by watching." There should be any other details, we haven't thought through. ”

"The problem is, they're obviously curious and want to try it, so why don't they just do it and try it?" Hearing this, Ling Rui also walked in from the door, sat down beside Lin Miao, and did the same movements as her, frowning, looking out the window with empty eyes.

"Maybe they think that putting the food directly outside is not clean and dusty, so they will react so much when the leaves that have just blown up by the wind fall inside." Lan Yuejiao thought about it for a while, and then she knew the reason.

Speaking of which, this is in the capital, not in the countryside, how can the diners here disregard decency and taste food directly on the street.

"But they don't want to come into the hotel, what should we do?" Ling Rui thought about it and was deflated again.

Suddenly, Lin Miao's eyes lit up, "I have a way." ”

"How?" Lan Yuejiao and Ling Rui asked in unison.

"In fact, this method is not a novel method, and many inns, restaurants, and restaurants are using it. We just didn't think about it for a while. Although Lin Miao didn't mean it, her words inevitably had the suspicion of selling off.

Sure enough, Lan Yuejiao anxiously urged, "Don't sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, what is the method?" ”R1152
