Chapter 9: Luo Ning's visit
Qin Han rubbed his eyes, slept all night, stretched out, and swept away yesterday's exhaustion. Since coming here, there is no mobile phone and computer at night, no entertainment products, and not even enough light, Qin Han has developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, unlike when the lights go out at eleven o'clock at school, and he doesn't necessarily sleep at all.
After washing, Qin Han began to run around Changning Street twice, then did a stretch and played a set of Tai Chi learned in physical education class.
A bowl of lean porridge in the morning, freshly fried fritters, pickles sold by the old man Fan on the street corner, a mouthful of fritters, a bite of crunchy pickled cucumbers, and a mouthful of porridge, cool. Counting it, it has been more than a week since he arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and Qin Han is still not used to the two meals of morning food and feeding, so he has millet porridge in the morning.
"Hey, it's not enough to have lean meat alone, make some preserved eggs another day, preserved egg and lean porridge is the king. Hey, if you want to open it early, I don't know if anyone will patronize it. Eating lean porridge, Qin Han came up with the idea of selling breakfast, if he could, Qin Han even thought about getting a pancake fruit and baking cold noodles, it would definitely be a big hit.
It was still early, although Qin Han had breakfast, it was not yet time for others to eat. I don't know if it's Gong Zisong's unique foodie talent, or if it's similar to the magical plug-in brought by Gao Yao. Yesterday, in one day, Qin Han is now doing and teaching, but Gong Zisong has learned at an incredible speed, and he has done it many times, and even the heat and the materials have been mastered even better, and sure enough, if the foodies are willing to cook, they are all a group of monsters.
While the store was still busy, Qin Han sat at the table and picked up a few books that Uncle Nine had found yesterday and read them. The history of this parallel world is roughly the same as the evolution of writing, especially the evolution of writing follows the order of evolution of the seal. Qin Han can only know some traditional Chinese characters that are not too complicated, in order to better live in this world, Qin Han must recognize all traditional Chinese characters, after all, the value of readers in ancient times is still very large.
Qin Han looked at it for half an hour, put down the book in his hand, and rubbed his swollen eyes. Fortunately, Qin Han has the ability to almost never forget, and compared the sentence comprehension with what Qin Han knew, he firmly recorded the words that he had read in his head, otherwise with the previous Qin Han, I am afraid that he would have to drill into the book and repeat it many times throughout the day to get it done.
Qin Han estimated that the time was almost there, and he was about to get up and call someone for business.
"Knock Knock"
"Uncle, Miss is here." Uncle Nine's voice came.
"Sister Fairy is here?" Hearing the news of Chu Luoning's coming, Qin Han hurriedly went downstairs to entertain him.
Walking around the corner of the stairs, I saw Chu Luoning sitting on the table drinking tea, and Xiu'er was also standing behind her, staring at her with big eyes, sitting and looking right.
In fact, when Xiu'er was looking left and right, Chu Luoning also looked at the restaurant, thinking that Qin Han would sell the restaurant in the next few days, but he didn't expect Qin Han to actually run it.
"Why are you here?" Chu Luoning was interrupted by Qin Han.
Qin Han walked to Chu Luoning and sat down, and Xiao Tao hurriedly got a cup of tea.
"Why did you change the inn into a restaurant, opposite is Fan Lou, the inn still has some business, how can the restaurant compare to others." Chu Luo thought of Qin Han's "stupid" approach and was a little angry.
"Hey, isn't there a shortage of people, and if the inn is also open, it will be too busy. Moreover, we are not the same as the other side. Qin Han looked at Chu Luo's angry appearance and said with a smile.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" At this time, it was just the time to eat the morning food, and from Chu Mansion to here, Chu Luoning still had to spend some time, and he didn't have time to eat at all. "Wait, I'll make you something to eat."
"Hey, you..." Chu Luoning wanted to stop Qin Han, but Chu Luoning thought that he had not eaten since he came over in the morning, and he was also a little hungry.
"Let's eat a little, you can't refuse Qin Han's kindness."
……
Qin Han walked to the kitchen and looked at the ingredients, "Let's make another lean porridge, I'll take a look, there are still some bamboo shoots, then fry a bamboo shoot, and a few fried buns, it should be enough for Xiu'er and the two of them to eat."
Watching Qin Han walk towards the back kitchen, Chu Luoning frowned and said to Uncle Jiu. "Uncle Nine, he went to the back kitchen to cook his own dishes?"
"Miss, my uncle has been eating by himself for the past two days." Uncle Nine saluted.
"The gentleman is far away from cooking, how can he do it himself as a scholar." Chu Luoning said with some dissatisfaction.
"This..."
"This girl, what you said is not right," Before Uncle Jiu could reply, Gong Zisong said unhappily when he heard Chu Luoning's words. "Lao Tzu has said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it can be seen that even the sages say that this way of cooking is very beneficial to governing the country, how can you say that."
Chu Luoning couldn't refute Gong Zisong's words for a while, wrinkled his nose, and said. "Uncle Nine, who is this person?"
"Hey, don't ask Uncle Jiu, don't change your name when you go down, don't change your surname, and you love the way of food." Gong Zisong brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, and said in a posture that he thought he was handsome.
"Miss, he's the cook my uncle found." Uncle Nine said with a smile.
"Uncle Nine, why are you like this?" Gong Zisong was directly revealed by Uncle Jiu's identity, and said in shame.
"Cook?" Chu Luoning heard Uncle Jiu's words and said with a smile. Before Chu Luoning could continue to speak, a burst of fragrance came through the curtain at the door of the back kitchen.
"It smells so good." Chu Luoning sniffed. This aroma is different from the usual steamed food, and there is a different taste.
After a while, Qin Han's voice came. "Come, it's ready, taste the porridge I boiled."
Chu Luoning watched Qin Han put the porridge on the table, and brought another raw fried, fried dough sticks and vegetables, smelling the fragrance, he couldn't help but feel a little hungrier.
Chu Luoning scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth, the porridge had a faint smell of meat, and the rice grains were soft and glutinous, just right.
There was a taste of this dish that didn't look like steaming or boiling, Chu Luoning took a spoon and tasted it.
"Eh, this dish tastes a little different." Chu Luoning's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smack it again.
"Miss, it's so fragrant." Xiao Tao ate a raw fry, smacked his grease mouth, and said.
Qin Han looked at Chu Luoning and Xiao Tao mouthful after mouthful, a little dumbfounded, usually Chu Luoning eats very elegantly, although the current appearance is also very good-looking, but this speed is also a little faster. After a while, the plates on the table were at the bottom.
"Uh, it's delicious." Chu Luoning finished drinking the last mouthful of porridge and saw that the plates on the table were already empty, and Qin Han on the other side looked at him blankly, and in an instant, he blushed from his face to his ears.
"Yes, yes, my uncle's cooking is really delicious, it's the first time I've seen Miss eat so much." Xiu'er didn't have Chu Luoning's shyness, touched her round belly, and said with satisfaction.
"Xiu'er, shut up, you're talking nonsense, don't eat at the table in the future." When Xiu'er said this, Chu Luoning's face turned even redder.
"Got it, miss." Xiu'er stuck out her tongue.
"It's delicious, this is fried bamboo shoots, fried dough sticks and raw fried, all fried in oil." Qin Han pointed to the plate and said to Chu Luoning.
"Stir-fry? Fry? Explode? Fry I know, what this frying and frying is. Moreover, you can stir-fry? Where do you get your oil? Chu Luoning heard the frying, and his mind was instantly full of questions.
"Oil is needed for frying and frying, and as for the oil, of course, I squeeze it myself." Qin Han looked at Chu Luoning puzzled and said with a smile.
"Oil extraction?" Chu Luoning was stunned again, he couldn't have imagined that Qin Han would squeeze oil.
"Yes, oil extraction, Uncle Jiu and I have already understood, in the entire Anping Prefecture, Fan Lou can't fully provide stir-fried vegetables, and the variety of stir-fried vegetables provided is pitiful. But we are different, we focus on stir-fried dishes, with many patterns and rich dishes, which cannot be compared with Fan Lou. Its advantage lies in its fame, and when our stir-fry sign is out, it has no advantage over us. So, you don't have to worry about me all the time. Qin Han smiled and explained to Chu Luoning, saving Chu Luoning from worrying that he couldn't get by.
Chu Luoning was a little stunned when he listened to Qin Han's analysis, all along, Qin Han's image was an inflexible reader in Chu Luoning's heart. Unexpectedly, Qin Han could think about it so much, and he didn't take it for granted.
"Who cares about you, you are a scholar, you don't study honestly, study hard, wait for the imperial examination, and the title of the gold list. I have nothing to think about doing business, not doing business. Hum! When Chu Luoning heard Qin Han's words, his face, which had originally lowered his color, slowly turned red again.
Oops, the fairy sister actually loves to blush so much. "Look at the middle father Lu Buwei, Tao Zhugong Fan Li, which one has not been through business, which one has never been in business, and which one has never been a businessman, they all say that they are farmers and businessmen, but in my opinion, all of them are indispensable." Qin Han retorted.
"You, hmph, you're not doing your job anyway."
"Alright, alright. You're right, it's not early, it's about to open, you sit first. Xiaoliu, Xiaoizumi, open the door to welcome guests. Qin Han looked at the sun and felt that the hour was almost up.
"Okay, uncle."
"Yes, Childe."
As soon as Xiao Liu and Xiao Quan pushed open the door, they saw several figures walking in.
"Come on, little girl, bring your menu, I'll order something."
"Really, you still can't do business, everyone has already opened their doors in Fanlou."
"Yo, Lao Zhou, you're here too."
"Oh, Brother Wang, no, bring someone in the family to try it."
"Coincidentally, it's not, I'm bringing the eldest woman in the family, Mrs., Mrs., to see Brother Zhou."
"Oh, isn't this a coincidence, no, I'm also bringing the eldest woman Liu. Come, ma'am, this is Brother Wang. ”
Qin Han looked at the two groups of people who kept greeting in a daze, just now they were still complaining about the late opening, but now they are there.
"Hey, you little girl, why are you stunned." Looking at the stunned crowd, Wang Yuanwai said dissatisfiedly.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." Xiao Tao hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Tao sent the menus of Wang and Zhou to the back kitchen on the front foot, and there were guests sitting down to greet and order. And the crowd began to get busy.
It was busy until almost noon, and the flow of people in the restaurant decreased. The business in the morning, compared with the whole day yesterday, can be described as hot, and even Xiu'er has been busy all morning.
"Uncle, after removing the cost all morning, we earned three times and eight hundred wen." After Uncle Nine counted, he said to Qin Han.
"It's not bad." Looking at the turnover equivalent to twice that of yesterday's whole day, Qin Han was still quite satisfied.
Not bad? That's not bad? Chu Luoning secretly rolled his eyes, one morning Chu Luoning had already understood the approximate price of the dishes, you must know that the price positioning of the dishes in a restaurant is more suitable for ordinary people, so the income is not as good as Fan Lou, which has a floor specially prepared for dignitaries, but it can earn a lot more than the previous inn.
Looking at Qin Han, who was counting the copper coins, Chu Luoning couldn't help but be a little curious, what else would the poor scholar do at the beginning.
