After the water god festival, Su Miao's food stall contract officially expired, and Xiang Ji also moved away from the original shop.

Because the shop was originally a restaurant, there was no need to clean it up, and it was ready to open after simply cleaning up and hanging a plaque.

The small restaurant has a moderate area, a lobby can be placed with more than a dozen tables, and seven or eight tables can be placed in the open-air area outside the gate. The kitchen of the restaurant is semi-open, and the north wall of the hall facing the door is a long counter, which was originally used by the shopkeeper to settle accounts and place wine, and Su Miao placed a circle of round stools under the counter as a bar counter, which can be regarded as expanding the usable space.

Inside the counter, there are wine cabinets on the walls on both sides, and in the middle is a small door that is chest-high and two together is a food table, leading to the restaurant kitchen. The kitchen is small but has a standardized layout, with a whole row of windows on the north side, and the oil smoke can basically be discharged quickly when all of them are opened. There is a covered well in the kitchen, which is said to have been specially enclosed during the construction of the house to make it easier to use water. A small door was opened on the north wall as an employee passage, and outside the door was the alley of the back street. The chef also has a small window at the top of the counter, and you can see the outside from the kitchen through the window.

When the name of the restaurant was decided to be rented in the autumn, the four sisters and brothers began to think about it, among which Su Yan was the most enthusiastic, and turned out many books for reference with great interest, and finally everyone voted for the "Su Restaurant" that Su Miao casually took out.

Su Restaurant, which can not only point out the family name but also clearly point out the business scope. The most important thing is that the name is easy to remember, and anyone who hears it will remember it again.

Su Yan was angry about this for a long time.

The small restaurant chose a good day to open, and Wu Adaa and other regular customers came to cheer with their families. Ten people from the Qinglong Gang also came together and put several whips, and the scene was quite lively. At dusk, Yu led the people who inspected the inspection room to say goodbye, and also brought a congratulatory gift from the county commander.

Su Miao was very surprised, took it and thanked her, said a few polite words, and served the signature wine and food to the people in the inspection room. After that, I thought that I would be exempted from the order according to the old rules, although Yu inspected not always eating white food, five times out of ten times he either played white slips or wanted to get something. Unexpectedly, this time, Yu insisted on not accepting the inspection. Not to mention paying the bills in full, even the usual debts were paid in one lump sum, which surprised Su Miao.

The original food stall was on the east side of Changle Street, and it received customers from the east pier. The current Su restaurant is located at the corner of a fork in the middle of Changle Street. Although it is a little far from the main road, the distance from the east and west piers to this place is about the same, and there is a lot of noise when it opens, and the number of new customers has increased a lot due to the fact that customers have introduced each other privately.

Featuring a unique and affordable food restaurant in Changle Town, Su Caiguan has reached the point where it is often full during the peak dining season and needs to wait for a table or make an appointment, and the two newly hired takeaway guys are even more busy.

Su Xian, Su Chan, and Defu are still responsible for the work of the buddies, one in the open air outside the door and the other in the lobby. Because of the lack of manpower. Hu personally took up the job of cashier and greeting bar customers. Mrs. Su also wanted to get involved, but her body and legs were not good. I can only look after the house.

Although Su Yan could help after school in the kitchen, it was still not enough, so Wu Ah recommended the neighbor's children to come over to work as an apprentice. Tongxi Tonggui is a brother, one fourteen and one twelve, because the burden of many children in the family is very heavy, and the biggest wish of the two is to learn a craft and open their own store in the future. Su Miao liked these two honest and self-motivated children very much, and felt that they were quite talented, so they did not hide their selfishness and taught patiently, but the two children opened their mouths and closed their mouths to call her "Master", and Wu Adaa even pushed the boat down the river to let them serve apprenticeship tea, so Su Miao flickered and flickered with two more apprentices.

The food stall is dark to close the stall restaurant but not use, Su Miao decided that the Su restaurant will be closed in the future, and the man who works at the dock will be happy, and the people who take over the night will come over for a supper and a drink before the store closes. Brother Qian no longer sets up a stall, Su Caiguan orders a lot of wine from him, and now he only makes wine at home, and Su Miao has all the sales involved.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the night is pleasant.

It was almost time to arrive, but there were still five or six tables of men drinking and guessing boxing in the Su restaurant, and there were several people sitting at the counter. Su Xian was chatting with the guests, Defu was busy coming and going, Su Chan was cleaning the open-air area outside the door alone, and for some reason the one-eyed Zhao Long had to help her.

Hu Shi sat in a corner of the counter to check the accounts, Zhang Hu sat on the round stool, half drunk, knocked on the counter with both hands and shouted:

"Little sister, come out, we have a hard time talking behind that wall, if you don't come to talk to us, this oily pig's trotters won't taste good!"

"What Brother Big Tiger said is, Little Sister, why don't you open the window, let's talk?" Kuroko was also dizzy from drinking, hugging Zhang Hu's neck and shouting.

In the kitchen, the green tendons on the corners of his forehead began to jump, and he had never experienced the work mode of urging during the peak period of dining, and he seemed to be urged every day since he followed Su Miao, especially after the opening of Su Caiguan, he had accumulated a lot of pressure.

Su Miao snapped open the window and scolded: "You two drunks are arguing to death, open the window and the smoke will run over!" ”

"It doesn't matter if there is a cigarette, we want to see the face of the little sister more!" Kuroko said with a drunken grin.

"Little sister is out!"

"Little sister, say a few words!" As soon as the window opened, the men at the other tables laughed and shouted.

Su Miao rolled her eyes speechlessly, why do people become monkeys when they get drunk?

Yu Inspector walked in with a smile, and when he saw Su Miao probing from the small window, he laughed loudly:

"Big niece, two pig's trotters and two taels of wine, one is wrapped up and I'll take it away!"

Behind the counter, Hu Shi hurriedly got up and greeted Yu Xunjian, Su Miao responded, retracted his head, picked up a hook and took out an oily and shiny roast pig's trotter from the oven and put it on a plate, and sent it out with a small plate of refreshing and appetizing sour cabbage.

Changle Town mainly eats fish, pork is cheaper, pig's trotters are cheaper because there are fewer people who can make them, Su Miao is tired of making fish, so he simply builds a small oven to roast pig's trotters as a signature dish.

After the pig's trotters are cleaned, put them into a pot of cold water, add turmeric wine and boil over high heat, skim off the foam, pour in the secret braised soup made by adding bone broth with 20 seasonings such as star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, cardamom, Sichuan pepper, bay leaf, soy sauce, etc., remove the foam after boiling, and add an appropriate amount of spices such as green onion, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and Sichuan pepper. Until there is no foam at all after boiling, then add rock sugar, simmer for half an hour, take out and drain. Brush a little soy sauce and an appropriate amount of honey on the surface of the pig's trotters, hang them on hooks and put them in the oven, and bake them until the skin is red and shiny, and the oil is bubbling and ready to bake.

The freshly baked pig's trotters are shiny and oily, glowing with an appetizing sauce red at a glance, salty and refreshing, with a faint sweetness of honey. The skin is very crunchy, the meat is soft and juicy, fresh and salty. With a dish of appetizing sour cabbage with coarse salt fermented and pickled for a month to become fatty, refreshing and strong, with a dish of salt, five-spice powder, crushed peanuts, soybean flour, pepper powder, sesame seeds mixed into a special seasoning, a fixed sales of 200 a day, there is never a time left, only when the relationship is particularly good to ask for help to reserve, Su Miao will bake a few more.

Roast pig's trotters on the table, caught and gnawed on the inspection, although he can no longer take credit here, but he is not used to eating in other places, the restaurant is more spacious than the food stall place, he comes almost every day.

"Uncle Yu came late today, and the inspection room is very busy?" Su Miao asked casually.

"Hey, don't mention it, the new county has made the big man take office, and the new official has taken office with three fires, and the yamen has been inextricable recently." The mother of the previous Zhu County Commander died suddenly, he went back to mourn and keep filial piety for three years, and the new Ning County Commander had just arrived in Changle Town a few days ago.

"What kind of person is the new county order, and how old is it?" Su Miao asked curiously.

"Three years younger than Lord Zhu, he is quite kind to people, and his ancestors have been the governor of Yingzhou."

"I heard that the new county magistrate has a little overlord, and a few days ago he smashed Song Ji's shop because the dishes made by Song Ji were not appetizing?" Zhang Hu suddenly remembered and asked.

"Not really!" Yu often came to the inspection, and he was also very familiar with the regulars in the store, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's still a little overlord, that's an ancestor at all!" At the same age as the eldest niece, and a kid, the eldest niece also knows how to make money to support the family, but the kid causes trouble all day long, the three-year-old enlightenment is not as many words as my strong son knows, the girl's family can't listen to it, the kid is only fifteen years old and will go to the kiln, and half of the time he can't get along these days is for him! Ning County is good, but it's a pity that Mrs. Ning died early, Ning County made his deceased wife condone this son in every way, and in the end it was himself who had a headache! ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Liu came in with two potatoes and said with a smile:

"Little sister, I dug two more potatoes, jam pancakes with stew!"

Su Miao agreed, took the potatoes and turned back to the kitchen, and asked curiously:

"Why do you still take the potatoes yourself?"

"I don't know about the inspection? Su restaurant can take the dishes yourself to order, as long as the little sister can do it, she will make it. Chen Liu sat down and said with a smile, "Last time I dug two potatoes, it was originally a joke, the little eldest sister's potato pancakes are better than any cake!" He drooled as he spoke.

In the kitchen, Su Miao washed and peeled the potatoes, steamed them and mashed them into a puree. Beat the eggs, add sugar, salt and glutinous rice flour and mix well, pour into the mashed potatoes and form a dough with suitable softness and hardness to make small cakes. Grease the pan, add the hash browns, sprinkle with chopped green onions and fry until golden brown on both sides. Serve a small piece of stew on a plate and set it up on the side of the hash browns, which can be eaten on their own or dipped in a fresh fuchsia jam made from autumn wild fruits sweetened with sugar.

The pancakes are crispy, the stew is delicious, and the jam is sweet and sour, and just smelling it will whet your appetite. (To be continued......)
