Chapter 172: The Fiery Kent Chicken
Tao Yao rubbed her swollen belly, revealing a hint of shyness and shook her head: "Wait a little longer, the slave is about to be unable to walk." ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei felt quite funny: "Okay, then wait a little longer!" ”
A few people sat down for a while, Chang Xiaolai said goodbye, and made an appointment to meet again tomorrow, Gu Bei took Tao Yao and others to leave Tao Zuiju.
Following.
Gu Bei got up early, remembering that he hadn't exercised for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, so he trotted up along the yard, and after running a few laps, he suddenly felt refreshed.
After washing up, I changed into clean clothes and went to breakfast.
After the meal, Gu Bei was sitting in the courtyard sipping fragrant tea, Qing'er suddenly ran over and said to Gu Bei: "Uncle, there is a son in the front hall looking for you, saying that you owe him a meal, and you are waiting for you to invite him to dinner." Speaking of this, Qing'er couldn't help but laugh herself.
Gu Bei was stunned, and almost forgot that there was still this stubble, but Chang Xiaolai was really interesting, how could he go to someone else's house and call for someone else's treat.
However, Gu Bei also likes this guy's straightforward temperament, which is better than the person who stabs you behind the surface and is amiable, such a person is worth befriending.
Gu Bei took Qing'er to the front hall, and saw Chang Xiaolai sitting there drinking tea with a big smile. Hey, this thing really doesn't think of itself as an outsider.
"Yo, why is Brother Chang here today?" Gu Bei pretended to be confused and said.
When Chang Xiaolai heard this, he stared at Gu Bei stunned, this person obviously owed himself a meal and was still pretending to be confused, he didn't want the maid to go in to report why he came today, I really didn't expect him to be thick-skinned, Gu Bei was thick-skinned than him.
He can privately say that Gu Bei owes him food, anyway, everyone who is familiar with him knows that he is often a straightforward person, but now he can't say in front of others that I came to you to invite me to dinner, right? Chang Xiaolai was snorting there for a while, and he didn't know what to say, and his face was red.
Gu Bei didn't want to tease him anymore, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, the little brother said yesterday that he went to Taodrunkui to invite Brother Chang to eat Kentucky, and he almost forgot about it, he was guilty of sin."
Let's go, let's go to Peach Drunken House, today Kentucky is limited for others, and for Brother Chang, he is full, and he will eat as much wine as he wants, and he will make amends to Brother Chang as little brother. ”
Chang Xiaolai also knew that Gu Bei deliberately teased him, and it didn't hurt to make a little joke between brothers, so he didn't take it to heart, when he heard the latter sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly felt that this joke was worth it, if he could, he didn't mind Gu Bei and him a few more.
stepped forward and patted Gu Bei's shoulder vigorously, and said with a straight smile: "Brother is interesting, haha, if you want me to say, my brother is good anywhere, it's just too polite, but I always like it." ”
Gu Bei was speechless, he didn't expect that Chang Xiaolai's character was really superb.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Gu Bei took Qing'er Chang Xiao to go out of the house, and saw a sturdy black horse and a four-wheeled carriage at the door.
Gu Bei originally wanted to invite Chang Xiaolai to get into the carriage together, but seeing that Chang Xiaolai came on horseback, he had to give up.
After a while, Gu Bei and Qing'er got into the carriage, and then the generals hugged them and followed Chang Xiaolai towards Qinhuai Street.
When he came to Taozhuiju and saw a long queue outside, Gu Bei was a little surprised, knowing that this was the first day of Kentucky Chicken's sale.
He didn't know that before they came, there were several groups of people who ordered Kentucky Root in Taodrunky, and after eating it, they were naturally surprised by the deliciousness of the world, but a portion of Kentucky Root was only about ten yuan, where was there enough to eat, so he hurriedly asked the guy to have another one.
The guy can only say with a bitter face, each table can only be limited to one serving, and the entire peach drunken house is limited to two hundred copies a day.
This is bitter for those who have just finished eating Kentucky, eating this crispy and delicious fried chicken nuggets, and then looking at the hot pot on the table, they suddenly lost their appetite.
But there are also many smart people among them, they saw that there were not many people who came to Taozuiju to eat hot pot at this time, so they immediately settled the account and went out to find the entourage they brought, and asked them to go back and find a few more people, and then after the group came in, each of them occupied a table, and each ordered a Kentji basis.
Of course, those people must not be able to eat, can only be left for their own master to eat, which caused the peach drunk house to be full, there was a queue outside, some unknown passers-by inquired, and their curiosity also joined the queue, and the queue became longer and longer.
Qinhuai Street is a densely populated place, such a long queue naturally attracted everyone's attention, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, just like that, Kentucky was launched on the first day, and it was naturally popular.
Chang Xiao looked at the long queue, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, secretly glad that he was fortunate to find Gu Bei to eat together, otherwise he would have to queue up hard.
Qing'er looked at the hot scene, naturally she was not surprised, her uncle had to open a restaurant business like this.
Her admiration for her uncle has now turned blind, and she thinks that what her uncle does is the best.
Gu Bei doesn't have to queue up, he has to go to his own store, and he has to queue up, which is estimated to make Ying Tianren laugh off his big teeth.
So after getting out of the carriage, he led Qing'er and Chang Xiaolai to walk directly around the crowd and towards Taozuiju.
"Hey, Brother Gu." Suddenly, he heard someone in the team shouting about him, Gu Bei hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw Yu Jianqi pulling Yu Jianxuan from the team and walking towards them.
"It turned out to be Big Brother Yu and Little Sister Yu, did Big Brother Yu also come to Peach Drunken House for dinner?" Gu Bei stepped forward to greet him.
"Exactly, my brother and I saw that the peach drunken house was quite popular on Qinhuai Street today, and it seems that some new food has been launched, so we will also join in the fun."
"That's right, if Brother Yu and Little Sister Yu don't dislike it, why don't you go with us, don't hide it from Little Sister, this restaurant foolish brother also has shares." Seeing that it was an acquaintance, and it was also a benefactor who had saved him twice, Gu Bei naturally didn't dare to slack off and issued a warm invitation.
"That's what we mean, so let's go in together." Yu Jianqi was also quite happy when she saw Gu Bei, and decisively gave up the queue that had been in line for a long time to take Gu Bei's hitchhiker.
"Hey, Brother Gu, why did you come with him." Yu Jianqi found Chang Xiaolai on the side, and said with a strange expression.
"Oh, my name is Chang Xiaolai, Gu Bei is the brother I just recognized yesterday, and today he invited me to drink." A hint of surprise flashed in Chang Xiaolai's eyes, and he said as usual.
"Oh, hello Brother Chang!" Yu Jianqi was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and greeted Zhanyan.
The group stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the intoxication house.
The golden shopkeeper also saw Gu Bei, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Hey, the owner is here." Seeing that Gu Bei was selling a Kentucky Root so hot, he was of course happy at the moment.
"Well, bring a friend over for dinner, Uncle Jin, is there still a place upstairs?"
"Yes, yes, the spring private room is specially reserved for the owner, please!" The golden shopkeeper hurriedly answered.
At this time, someone in line outside the door was unwilling: "Shopkeeper Jin, why do we all have to line up, but this person goes in directly?" ”
Gu Bei didn't speak, and crossed his arms to see how the golden shopkeeper coped. The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our host, today is here to check the accounts, not to eat, please bear with me!" ”
Of course, the golden shopkeeper didn't dare to say that Gu Bei was here to eat, all of them in front of him were uncles, and it would not end well if he was angry.
Qing'er and Yu Jianqi couldn't help but turn their backs when they heard the golden shopkeeper talking nonsense there, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone also knows that the gold shopkeeper is talking nonsense, how can there be two girls to check the accounts, but it is not easy to say anything, the restaurant is people's industry, and it seems that there is no need to queue up to eat from a restaurant.
When the group entered Taozuiju, Gu Bei saw that there was one more dish name wooden sign hanging in the hall, which read "Kent Chicken".
Gu Bei was a little dumbfounded, and then he understood that the golden shopkeeper had heard something. Forget it, Kentucky is Kentucky, it's troublesome to change it, and Gu Bei doesn't bother to correct it.
Entering the spring private room on the third floor, several people sat down one after another.
Gu Beichong beckoned to the shopkeeper Jin and said, "Uncle Jin, you first serve us ten servings of KFC, then serve a mandarin duck pot base, serve all the side dishes, and then serve a few pots of Chinese wine, Kentucky Chicken, you put it in a food box, pick a clever guy, and let him take it secretly." ”
Gu Bei didn't know if Chang Xiaolai drank or not, but Brother Yu was a good drinker, so he ordered wine, and he could also drink a little with him.
Let the guy secretly bring Kentucky up, but also to avoid the anger of the people downstairs when they see it, compare others are one per table, why do you have ten servings for a table here, no matter what era it is, making exceptions will be hated by others.
The golden shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and then went downstairs to let people prepare.
After a while, I saw a guy in Tsing Yi walking in with an extra-large food box. The guy opened the food box, brought the dishes inside to the table, and smiled flatteringly at Gu Bei: "Dongjia, this is the Kent chicken you want, because there are too many, one big plate can't fit it, so I loaded four plates for you, Xiao Jiu was very careful when he came up just now, and no one found out." ”
"Well, Xiao Jiu did a good job, go back to the golden shopkeeper to receive the reward." Gu Bei praised. Because the currency of Daxia is relatively heavy, he rarely brings money when he goes out now, and it is not good to reward Xiao Jiu directly, so he can only be generous.
Xiao Jiu left happily.
After a few polite exchanges, everyone opened the table to eat.
Yu Jianxuan and Yu Jianqi were eating this Kent chicken for the first time, and just looking at this appearance was mouth-watering, and the two siblings couldn't help but take a piece and taste it.
After Yu Jianqi tasted it, she couldn't stop anymore, and she called it delicious. Although Yu Jianxuan also felt that this Kent chicken tasted crispy and delicious, he liked to drink by nature, so after eating a few pieces, he didn't eat more, and instead ate hot pot.
Qing'er didn't come yesterday, but the first time she ate it, after finishing the food for her aunt, she started to move, and her mouth kept chewing.
Gu Bei had already eaten it yesterday, but now he was not so addicted, and he ate a few pieces and started the hot pot like Yujian Xuan.
Chang Xiaolai didn't know what politeness was, and when he saw Kent chicken on the table, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took a plate and put it in front of him, and he was very happy to eat.
He only ate half a plate yesterday, and he was hungry all night, but now after getting Gu Bei's unlimited supply, he immediately turned into gluttony, and the two cheeks kept shaking like a small motor.
When Chang Xiaolai was chewing with a dry mouth, Xiao Jiu brought a few bottles of Chinese wine over. Chang Xiaolai's eyes lit up, he stepped forward to grab a bottle, pulled off the wooden cork, poured a bowl for himself, and couldn't wait to take two sips, then looked at Gu Beidao: "Xiaobei, you haven't drunk with your brother yet, you must drink two bowls with your brother today." ”
This rammer doesn't care about the cup when he drinks with people, he talks about the bowl directly, why don't you touch the bottle with Brother Yu!
Having made up his mind not to drink with this guy who bullied honest people, Gu Bei frowned secretly, and hurriedly refused: "Little brother has very little wine, Brother Chang should go and drink with Big Brother Yu." ”
Chang Xiao came to see Yu Jianxuan, who was drinking from the bottle, and was deflated for a while, and saw that Gu Bei had made up his mind not to drink, so he could only say to Yu Jianxuan: "Old ...... Brother Yu, you come to drink with someone. He just wanted to call Lao Yu, but suddenly remembered that they were 'unfamiliar', and quickly changed his words.
Yu Jianxuan stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth, and when he saw that Chang Xiaolai wanted to drink with him, he agreed.
"Come on, let's make a bottle first." Chang Xiaolai was dumbfounded, is this special meow drinking water? Also dry bottles? He has drunk this Chinese wine, but he knows that it is very strong, and he thinks that the amount of wine in a bottle is not bad, compared with Yujian Xuan, it is simply incomparable!
Seeing that Yu Jianxuan drank half a bottle, Chang Xiaolai grabbed him and said angrily: "No, no, you can drink it yourself!" He picked up the bowl and drank it himself.
Chang Xiaolai ate Kent chicken very quickly, and in just a while, there were already more than a dozen plates piled up in front of him, and the Yujianxuan brothers and sisters, Gu Bei and Qing'er had already put down their chopsticks and watched him eat and drink from the side.
If ten chicken nuggets are counted as one according to the amount of Tao Zuiju, Gu Bei estimates that Chang Xiaolai will eat eighteen servings alone.
Qing'er looked at it secretly, and teased: "Chang Gongzi, you have eaten so much, why is your belly still not bigger?" Where did you put those Kent chickens? ”
"Poof!" Chang Xiaolai just took a sip of wine, and when he heard the words, he was choked and squirted out, Qing'er's figure flashed, and he pulled Gu Bei to avoid this wave of 'saliva', fortunately, his buddy had Qing'er, Gu Bei secretly rejoiced.
Chang Xiaolai said aggrievedly: "Qing'er, you can't say that about me, I can eat so much and keep not getting fat, it's also a kind of ability, isn't it?" ”
"Poof." Yu Jianqi and Qing'er laughed at the same time.
Chang Xiaolai finally couldn't eat anymore when he reached the twentieth portion, and the five of them laughed for a while and left the peach drunken house, each going back to his own house and looking for his own mother.
When leaving, the golden shopkeeper looked at Chang Xiaolai with resentment, this one person ate twenty servings of Kent chicken, and when he left, he took five servings, saying that he would take them back for dinner.
Taozuiju only supplies 200 portions a day, and this livestock alone occupies 25 portions, and the golden shopkeeper wails in his heart, hoping that the owner will not bring this animal to Taozuiju for dinner next time.
In the afternoon, the hot pomp of the peach drunken Kent chicken has swept the entire Yingtianfu through word of mouth, and has once again been pushed into the wave.
People who have eaten it are naturally praised as a rare delicacy in the world, and those who have not eaten it are naturally drooling when they listen to the description of those who have eaten, looking forward to buying a taste the next day, although a copy costs one or two silver, but the most important thing in Ying Tianfu is the rich people, and there are many people who can afford to eat.
After a day of popularity, Kent chicken finally became famous, and Peach Drunken House brushed another wave of popularity.
When Gu Bei arrived home, Bai Luoshi also heard the news that Tao was drunk with Kent chicken, she really didn't expect that a kind of food invented by her husband would cause such a big storm in Yingtian.
What's even more surprising is the profit of Kent chicken itself, the price is five times the cost, even if only a limited supply of 200 copies per day, the profit of Kent chicken alone is 160 taels a day, which can be regarded as a huge profit, in the long run, the profit of this Kent chicken will be an astronomical amount.
As for the peachy news of someone and the pretty widow, she naturally got into her ears......
Alas, I can only secretly sigh that my husband is too good.
While eating dinner, Bai Luoshi finally couldn't help but ask Gu Bei, "Husband, how did you come up with that Kent chicken?" ”
Ahem, can you say that you learned this from someone else?
Of course not, Gu Bei had no choice but to continue to fool: "Lady, my husband's cooking skills have always been not bad, and it is not easy to make this kind of Kent chicken." ”
Bai Luoshi glared at this stinky and shameless husband angrily.
After dinner, just about to leave, Yu Guang suddenly glanced at a few cucumbers on the table, his eyes lit up, and he said secretly, why don't you make a mask?
Pick up the cucumber, wash it, pick up the knife, knock knock, cut into twenty cucumber slices in an instant, and then carry the plate of cucumbers to the yard.
Since the lady had just finished eating and was called by Mrs. Qin, there was no one in the courtyard at this time.
Gu Bei washed his face, then lay on the rocking chair, pasted the cucumber slices on his face one by one, and a coolness made him moan at once, and said to himself: "Cool, if there is another chick, it will be perfect." ”
As he spoke, the figure of Tao Yao appeared in his mind.
Thinking of Tao Yao's signature shy smile, Gu Bei had a crooked smile on the corner of his mouth and entered his dream.
I don't know how long it took.
"Ahh
Suddenly, a scream woke Gu Bei up directly, and he also shouted, "Ah~"
"Husband?"
Hey? The lady came back so soon?
Gu Bei suddenly woke up, turned his head to look, and saw Qing'er standing in front of the door with a pregnant woman, and exclaimed, "Lady? ”
Bai Luoshi pointed at Gu Beidao with frightened eyes: "You...... What are you doing? ”
"My husband is sleeping."
Gu Bei was stunned, and then fell again: "Lady, what were you calling just now?" ”
"Your...' face?"
"My face? What about my face? ”
Gu Bei subconsciously touched his face, suddenly realized, let out a long breath, and said, "I was making a mask just now." As he spoke, he picked up the cucumber that had fallen off his face just now and raised it, saying, "This is a cucumber, and it can be eaten." With that, he threw the cucumber into his mouth and ate it.
"Cucumbers? It really scared the hell out of me. ”
Bai Luoshi patted in shock, she came back from her mother just now, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she suddenly saw a person with an unknown face lying on the rocking chair, and she was immediately startled.
After Gu Bei sat up, a few cucumber slices fell off her face, and she realized that it was her husband, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said curiously: "What is the 'mask' you just said?" ”
