Walk into the courtyard gate.

The service staff of the hotel saw Cao Yan come in with people.

Before he could speak, someone immediately greeted him, "Auntie, are you going to sit inside, or are you just outside?" ”

"Well, let's go inside." After all, there are a few girls following, especially Xiang Yixin is here, and it is still a little inconvenient to sit outside.

The visitor led Cao Yan and them to the innermost room, and then went up to the roof, where there was a small pavilion.

This location is basically closed to the public.

Only accept Cao Yan's special seat for skewers.

After they were all seated, the waiter brought a pot of hot water, a set of tea sets and an iron box of tea leaves, which Cao Yan put in for his own drinking, and Luo Ming asked someone to send it.

The waiter handed over a recipe, then picked up his small notebook and waited for everyone to order: "Auntie, what do you eat?" ”

Cao Yan took the recipe from the waiter's hand and handed it to Xiang Yixin's hand, he often eats here, and he uses the recipe, as long as he says it, even if there is no chef, he will definitely come over and ask how to do it.

"You can eat whatever you like."

Then he said to the waiter with the small book: "First help me bake 100 skewers of mutton skewers, 20 skewers of crispy bones, make two pots of spicy hot pot bottoms, and two large set meals......"

Cao Yan babbled a lot of things, and after finishing speaking, he found that Xiang Yixin and the others were still staring at the recipe, and they didn't speak, a little curious: "Why is it not to your taste?" Don't see what you like? ”

Xiang Yixin smiled awkwardly, none of them had eaten at the food stall.

This is the first time that Cao Yan has brought such a restaurant to eat.

There are no familiar names on it.

The recipe is also very strange, in addition to the big set meal that Cao Yan said, it is one serving of tofu, one serving of green vegetables, and one serving of vermicelli...... Something like that, which makes them a little scratching their heads.

"Brother Cao, you just need to look at it," Xiang Yixin put the recipe back on the table, thinking that everything would just be up to Cao Yan.

Cao Yan picked up the recipe on the table and looked at it, and understood that there should be a lot of customers in the store today, and the reason why he didn't want to be too busy on the first day of the first lunar month, the store didn't put out the menus with stir-fried dishes, only the barbecue and spicy hot menus, because these things are relatively simple to make.

"Okay, wait until you think it's delicious, just call it again." Cao Yan handed the recipe back to the waiter.

"Auntie, ......I'll be here soon," the waiter finished speaking, and went down with the recipe.

……

Everyone who was waiting was chatting casually.

"By the way, Brother Cao, it seems that everyone has accepted it now and settled with your coupon." Xiang Yixin opened a topic, because she could see the cashier at the front desk at the door upstairs, and in just this short period of time, she saw several people who came to buy kebabs with the coupons issued by Cao Yan.

"Yes, but Master, I have a question that I haven't figured out." Luo Ming said.

"What's the problem? Say! Cao Yan was a little happy, and now he was the one who printed on the banknotes.

"Why is your Jiaozi called a coupon, but called five cents, one piece, two pieces, instead of one coupon, two coupons?"

Cao Yan thought he wanted to ask something!

It turned out to be this problem, but there is no explanation for this matter, could it be that you tell him a parallel world, a story in the future a thousand years in the future?

He thought for a while and said, "Do you know why Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching? ”

"I don't know, why?"

"Because I like it!"

There was silence around the "......" for a while.

"Huh."

"Poof!"

There was laughter all around.

Luo Ming looked at Cao Yan with a dark face.

……

When the bottom of the spicy hot pot and the seasonings were served, Cao Yan explained the taste of these spices to everyone a little.

So he took a small saucer and adjusted it.

Everyone saw Cao Yan's happiness, and they also followed his example and got up.

Cao Yan eats lamb skewers and gnaws on crispy bones.

In the spicy hot, the fried tofu and vermicelli are scalded.

remembered an incident that shocked the Internet in his previous life, that is, the famous Malatang incident.

Although it was later proven to be an advertisement for a condom manufacturer.

But why the manufacturer doesn't choose other things, but choose Malatang, which also explains its taste and charm.

"Sir, these things taste good."

"That's right! Why didn't you let them set up shop in the city to sell these, sir? ”

This question made Cao Yan feel a little headache, not that he didn't want to get these shops, but that these were all supper products, who had time to eat this during the day?

In ancient times, not to say that it had no electric light, but to say that it had a curfew, was the greatest malice towards this industry in this era.

In addition, these things are also expensive, according to the price ratio of later generations, such as mutton skewers, a string is not sold for one, two hundred wen, and it is not at all sorry for its price of nine hundred wen per catty.

This price is caused by it, and if you want to eat a big meal, you can't get rid of your addiction at all.

At the same time, it also means that the consumer group is very niche, and it is embarrassing to think that if you go out of the stall for a day, you can't sell it for a penny, and the meat is still bad.

Of course, there is a solution to this, that is, to open these stalls to the Qinhuai River on the street of the painting boat, after all, there is a high consumption in that place, and there are many rich people.

But a new problem came again, the place was mixed with dragons and snakes, although at this time, there was no rule that it was not allowed to bring their own alcohol, but after setting up a stall for a long time, it was inevitable that there would be changes in the food business on other people's painting boats, and there was a matter of those men wrapping the outer room, so that these sisters-in-law in Zhuangzi resisted their men to go to that street even more, and this store could not be opened.

Anyway, Cao Yan was completely dead set on it, of course, in order to eat for himself, he could only let a few families open a few in his own Zhuangzi.

Let everyone have a supper at night, make a skewer, be happy, anyway, they have enough industry and enough money, so they don't care about the little money they make from opening a supper stall.

Of course, these reasons must be difficult to explain, Cao Yan pursed his lips and said again: "Do you know why Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching?" ”

"Huh." Everyone knew what Cao Yan meant, so they didn't continue to ask.

……

In this way, everyone was idle, eating and drinking until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

There will be no curfew in the city on the day of the Lantern Festival.

But everyone had dinner very early, and they came to Linjiazhuang before it was dark.

As soon as they entered the door, Luo Ming and Xia Haibo didn't wait to catch their breath: "Master (sir), are the fireworks ready?" ”

Cao Yan shook his head with a wry smile and looked at the two: "Okay." ”。

"Let's go check it out now!"

"Are you in such a hurry?" Cao Yan muttered.
