Chapter 134: Birthday Gift
On the tenth day of the lunar month, everything in the restaurant was ready, and Lin Mo first opened a trial operation silently for a period of time to see how the response was, and then consider when to open.
Sure enough, there were few guests in the first two days, after all, no one knew that the restaurant had reopened, but after a few days, the flow of customers increased significantly, after all, the dishes of Lin Mo's restaurant were very novel to them, and the price was fair, and the number of casual guests gradually increased.
Lin Mo is still very satisfied with this reaction, after all, there are many restaurants in Yunzhou, and it is very rare that his little-known restaurant can attract so many diners when it opens silently, of course, the most important thing is that Lin Mo's restaurant chef is skilled, after Zhu Wen came to Yunzhou, he recruited a few nephews in the clan, and followed the arts, he was already superb in cooking, coupled with the new methods taught by Lin Mo and the Yangzhou dishes made by Zhao En, it is naturally a wide variety, and it is also unique in Yunzhou.
Therefore, Lin Mo hung up the plaque of food for the sky and transferred to the official operation stage. I didn't hang it before because I was afraid of a bad response, so I smashed this food for the sky signboard, but now it seems that I think too much.
Seeing that it is the nineteenth day of the lunar month, tomorrow is the birthday of Mrs. Meng, Wu Wenyan naturally came, Lin Mo deliberately went to wait outside the city, and when Wu Wenyan arrived, he took Wu Wenyan to the restaurant to eat some food first, Wu Wenyan looked at the many diners in the restaurant, and the business was very prosperous, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to open a restaurant in a short period of time in Yunzhou, and it was unexpected, you are really a businessman." Lin Mo smiled: "Master praised it, I just coincidentally." As he spoke, he led Wu Wenyan upstairs to the private room.
Lin Mo asked, "Master, can you prepare a gift for this birthday banquet?" Wu Wenyan smiled faintly and said: "Naturally, the old man wrote a congratulatory message and copied a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" as a birthday gift, if you say yes, you don't need to prepare, I'll take you there." ”
Lin Mo smiled and said, "I'm a junior, how can I go to celebrate my birthday empty-handed." Wu Wenyan asked suspiciously, "Oh? Look you're ready, what are you going to give? Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and brought a bowl of porridge, this porridge is different from ordinary white porridge, there are many preserved fruits and other ingredients in the porridge, and the aroma is pervasive, very delicious.
Lin Mo said with a smile: "Master, this is my special porridge, called 'Eight Treasure Porridge', which contains walnuts, pine nuts, milk tan, persimmon, chestnuts and other preserved fruits. ”
Lin Mo originally planned to provide this eight-treasure porridge to diners for free, but the magnanimity of the people in Yunzhou exceeded his imagination, so Lin Mo decided not to give it free and sell it in bowls. Wu Wenyan tasted it and said, "Well, this porridge is really sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste." ”
Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and brought a bowl of porridge, this porridge is different from ordinary white porridge, there are many preserved fruits and other ingredients in the porridge, and the smell is fragrant, which is very delicious. Lin Mo said with a smile: "Master, this is my special porridge, called 'Eight Treasure Porridge', which contains walnuts, pine nuts, milk tan, persimmon, chestnuts and other preserved fruits, plus secret soup ingredients, and wine simmering
The effect of calming the nerves, the Master tastes it. ”
Lin Mo originally planned to provide this eight-treasure porridge to diners for free, but the magnanimity of the people in Yunzhou exceeded his imagination, so Lin Mo decided not to be free, and sold bowls.
Wu Wenyan tasted it, "Well, this porridge is really sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless." Lin Mo smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and then brought a jar sealed with a bowl, the mouth of the altar was still steaming, seeing that Wu Wenyan was puzzled, Lin Mo took the bowl buckled at the mouth of the altar, and a fragrance came to the surface, Wu Wenyan couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled it, the things in this jar were too fragrant.
Lin Mo said: "This is my secret dish, Master try it quickly." Then he served a bowl to Wu Wenyan and asked Wu Wenyan to taste it first. Wu Wenyan picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, it was really fragrant, and his lips and teeth were fragrant.
"Lin Mo, what kind of dish is this, I have never heard of anything that can be cooked in the jar." Lin Mo said with a smile: "This is called 'Fu Shou Quan' and 'Buddha Jumping Over the Wall', which is made of chicken, duck, lamb elbow, pig's trotters, pork ribs and all kinds of sea fish, etc., plus a special soup stock. It seems to be a pot of messy stew, but the amount and timing of its practical ingredients must be grasped well, otherwise it will not be able to make this taste. ”
Lin Mo is right, these days he locked himself at home to study how to make this dish, the jar alone burned out four or five, burned back and forth dozens of times, and each time he wrote down the ingredients and amounts, and when it was burned, it collapsed, which made Liu Kui and Zhao En feel distressed, and felt that Lin Mo was too loser, and it was this stupid method that he burned this dish.
Wu Wenyan was amazed when he heard Lin Mo's narration, and finally sighed and said, "If you put this tenacity in cooking into studying, it will not be a problem to pass the Jinshi examination." Lin Mo just laughed when he heard it, it felt like returning to the teacher's painstaking persuasion of bad students to read in his previous life.
Wu Wenyan looked at the porridge and this dish and thought for a while, "You don't plan to give these two things to Mrs. Meng, and then the birthday banquet will make a reputation, right?" Lin Mo smiled and said, "The master's eyes are really like torches, and he can't hide anything from the master's eyes." Wu Wenyan looked at Lin Mo helplessly and said, "Should I praise you for being treacherous or praise you for being smart?" ”
When Lin Mo heard this, he said modestly: "This is just a whim, and it can't be put on the stage." Wu Wenyan couldn't laugh when he heard this, and then said: "This is the first time I've heard of birthday delivery food, and you will definitely be in the limelight tomorrow." ”
Lin Mo scratched his head and smiled without saying a word, Wu Wenyan continued: "But if you really want to send it, this eight-treasure porridge will be exempted." Seeing that Lin Mo was puzzled, Wu Wenyan explained: "Porridge is also paste, as the saying goes, the more you drink porridge, the more confused you become, so the old man should not drink porridge for a long time; There is also the saying that the poor drink porridge and eat rich, and it is a little unlucky to drink porridge on the day of the birthday. ”
Lin Mo only knew that there was such a statement after hearing this, so he nodded and said, "Well, I know about this, and I will go with this blessing tomorrow." Wu Wenyan nodded, and then Lin Mo and Wu Wenyan finished eating all these dishes, Wu Wenyan also smiled and asked Lin Mo to send more to himself in the future, and he really couldn't eat enough at one time.
After eating, Lin Mo sent Wu Wenyan back to the inn and then returned home to begin making final preparations for tomorrow's birthday banquet. Take out a brand new altar and prepare to simmer again, and the Buddha jumps over the wall.
After the ingredients were ready, Lin Mo found that there were a lot more ingredients, and it would be too wasteful to put them away, so he burned a big pot of eight-treasure porridge, and after Zhao En, Liu Kui and others came back in the evening, everyone looked at a big pot full of eight-treasure porridge and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, these days Lin Mo himself has been thinking about how to make the eight-treasure porridge and Buddha jumping over the wall to be the best, so he burned it many times, and each time it would be "eliminated" by everyone in the end, and everyone had a good appetite these days. forest
Mo beckoned everyone to sit down and eat quickly, and then arranged the next reason, especially if nothing else, Lin Mo's Buddha jumping over the wall will definitely be famous in Yunzhou, and many people will come to visit at that time, this Lin Mo has also been handed over to Zhu Wen and Zhao En, so let the two prepare in advance.
After everyone finished eating, Lin Mo began to prepare to simmer this Buddha jumping over the wall, and he will rely on this altar of vegetables tomorrow, so naturally he can't be sloppy. Zhao En was naturally a little worried when he saw that Lin Mo was going to make this Buddha jumping over the wall overnight, and said: "Xiao Mo, you go to rest first, I already know how to make this dish, I'll boil it, you are going to pay homage tomorrow, you naturally have to be full of energy, otherwise how to deal with which celebrities." Liu Kui also chimed in: "Yes, I'll leave it to me, and I promise that I won't miss your business." ”
Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, he had to recuperate, there was still a big battle to fight tomorrow, so he couldn't be sloppy. "Uncle Liu, you're right, then please, I'll go rest first, call me when I'm done tomorrow morning, I'll take a look, I've worked hard for you tonight."
Then Lin Mo went back to the room to rest. Zhao En began to watch the altar Buddha jump over the wall, slowly boiling it with a simmer, while Liu Kui cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. At this time, Liu Kui looked at the remaining eight-treasure porridge in the pot and said, "It's a pity that the uneaten eight-treasure porridge has been poured." Zhao En smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you can hold a bowl and leave it for Xiao Mo, and we will eat the rest when we are hungry." ”
Liu Kui nodded when he heard this, and put a bowl aside. When the boiling was almost complete, Zhao En was about to call Lin Mo to take a look, Liu Kui shook his head and said: "Forget it, just watch the two of us, let him rest more, tomorrow's big birthday banquet, he has to be mentally healthy to deal with it." Zhao En nodded, and then the two took turns watching to prevent the dish from getting cold.
Wait until the next morning, Liu Kui and Zhao En put a small part of the essence of the Buddha jumping over the wall into the prepared jar, and then put it in the food box, this food box is specially made by Lin Mo, the lower end is made of iron, you can put charcoal or red-hot stone and then add the partition, and put the food at the upper end, so that you can keep warm and prevent this Buddha from jumping over the wall to get cold, after all, it is now the wax moon, although it is the south, it is also cold and windy, and the dish will be cold if you are not careful.
The two of them were in a hurry to go to the shop, so they let Zhou Fu look at it, and when Lin Mo got up, he gave him the food box, Zhou Fu nodded, and after the people left, Zhou Fu looked at the food box, and he naturally ate the Buddha jumping over the wall in the food box, but he never got tired of eating this thing, and I really hope that he can eat it every day in the future.
At this time, Zhou Fu found the edge
There is also a bowl of eight-treasure porridge on it, this porridge Lin Mo said before that this time he went to the birthday banquet with the eight-treasure porridge and the Buddha jumped over the wall to celebrate his birthday, Zhou Fu thought that Zhao En and Liu Kui forgot to take it and put the porridge in the food box on the upper layer of the jar.
After Lin Mo woke up, Zhou Fu hurriedly brought the food box to Lin Mo and said, "The owner has put it in, and there are hot stones underneath, and the dishes will not be cold." ”
Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, then looked at the remaining Buddha jumping over the wall, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the taste, so he left with the food box with satisfaction.
Lin Mo came to the inn, Wu Wenyan had already gotten up at this time, looking at Lin Mo carrying the food box, Wu Wenyan smiled and said: "You are really strange, carrying the food box to pay homage, others still think that you are going to eat." Lin Mo was also a little embarrassed when he heard it, but after all, he had no reason to give up such a good opportunity.
