Chapter 3: The First War

Jia Yi watched the lard condense from a liquid state to a solid state, for more than two hours and more than an hour, Lin Meiyu, his nominal assistant, didn't walk back until it was almost noon, which made Jia Yi's hateful teeth itch, if she wasn't the second miss, if she wasn't quite beautiful, Jia Yi might really go up and beat her.

"Second Miss, you still know to come back." Jia Yi looked at Lin Meiyu with a happy smile on her face angrily, and showed such a great sense of satisfaction to her just eating the lowest fried food, and gave her deep contempt.

"Oh, don't be so stingy, I'm not doing this for your own good, you don't know, what my dad said after tasting the meat scraps." Lin Meiyu cleared her throat, deliberately made her voice very rough, and said, "Well, it's very good, it seems that Jia Yi, this kid really has two hits, and wait and see if he can be sold or not." ”

This made Jia roll his eyes all the time, Lao Tzu is not a livestock, he will sell it, but after thinking about it, in the feudal dynasty, there is really not much difference between slaves and livestock, in order to prevent himself from being treated as a livestock in the future, he wants to sell it, Jia Yi felt that after earning money, he would mention to Old Man Lin about doing a good people's household registration for himself, and he always had the idea that he was an animal, which was not a thing.

Said hello to Lin Meiyu and removed the door panel of the restaurant, even if it was opened, but Mr. Lin had been sick for some time, and the restaurant that had no customers became even more unattended, and the two people who had nothing to do waited for a while still didn't see anyone coming, Jia Yi felt that it was not a matter to wait like this, and he still had to find another way to attract people to be serious.

Due to the close proximity of Chang'an in Duqu County, there are many people coming and going in the county, but on the one hand, the Sifang Restaurant is really small, and it has not been opened for several days, and the guests passing by walk directly from here as if they did not see this restaurant, without looking at it.

Fried food can always exude a strong aroma, coupled with lard, which is fried in animal oil, and has a strong smell of meat, which is full of fatal temptation in this era when eating a full meal can become a person's life goal.

Ma slipped back to the kitchen, began to knead the dough, add salt and green onions to the dough, then cut it into dough sheets, cooked, and then heat some lard, holding the bowl holding the dough and hot lard to the closest place to the door of the hall, with the meaty oil just poured directly on the noodles, the green onion fragrance, the meat aroma, plus the salt in the noodles and the combination of some vegetables, the fragrance suddenly spread throughout the hall, and the street was even filled with this strange fragrance.

"What smell? Why is it so fragrant! The greedy man immediately stopped his hurried steps and began to search for the source of the fragrance.

Seeing someone stopping, Jia Yi was not ambiguous, and shouted directly into the street: "Oily noodles, oily noodles, delicious oily noodles, don't miss it when you pass by, come and taste it." ”

A guest officer in a brown linen shirt walked into the hall for the first time, and came to Jia Yi's front after smelling the smell, "What a fragrant dough sheet, what do you call this dough sheet?" ”

"Oily dough sheets, a bowl of five cents, you are satisfied with your food, and I want to come again next time."

The voice just fell, and the five eldest sons had already landed on the dinner table without blinking, you must know that the five cents in the first few years are not less, and you can also see how attractive this oily dough is, as for the guest officer, he has already been impatient to eat the noodles.

With the first, there was the second, and in a short time, the small hall was filled with guests waiting to eat oily noodles.

Jia Yi said to Lin Meiyu and asked her to take care of it in front, while Jia Yi quickly returned to the kitchen and started cooking noodles......

Until the noodles were bought and the lard was exhausted, the guests in the hall were still full, and Jia Yihao, who was almost exhausted, dragged his tired figure to the hall, made a circle, and said to the guests with an embarrassed face: "I'm really sorry, the noodles prepared by the shop have been used up, if you still want to eat, you can come again tomorrow." ”

This kind of meal is basically only eaten at noon, when everyone is in a hurry, and at night they either go home, or find an inn to order wine and food to eat and drink and fall asleep, basically no one will come to the restaurant to eat, so when Jia Yi said this, he was ready to close.

"What's the matter, the restaurant owner doesn't prepare enough food."

"That's it, we've been waiting for a long time, why don't you say it early when we don't have food."

“……”

For the complaints of the guests, Jia Yi's face has always maintained an apologetic smile, the service industry is like this, what others say you just have to listen, don't talk back, let alone explain anything, although Jia Yi didn't do this before, but when he was in school, he also went to work in a restaurant, the bitterness of being a waiter is really not enough for outsiders, but it is summed up in one sentence, that is, "It's tears when you talk too much!" ”

After the last guest left, Jia Yi slowly went up to the door panel, and then began to clean up the hall.

"Jia Yi, guess how much money we made today?" Lin Meiyu almost jumped in front of Jia Yi, the smile on her face squeezed her eyes into a line, and it is not difficult to see from here alone that today's income is indeed very expensive.

Shaking off his sour hand, Jia Yi didn't know how many noodles he had cooked today, he knew that his hand was about to break, and as for how much money he made, he really didn't have time to care about it.

"I don't know."

"Three hundred wen, three hundred wen, which is worth the income of the past four or five days."

"Okay, Second Miss, I'm really tired today, if you want to be happy, go back and be happy, let me finish my work quickly, so that I can rest early."

"Hmph, I'll go back when I go back." Lin Meiyu saw that Jia Yi looked like she was ignoring her, so she couldn't help but snort coldly, grabbed the three hundred wen money she earned today, walked through the back door, and jumped towards Lin Mansion.

"It's really childlike." Jia Yi smiled bitterly, but when she thought that Lin Meiyu had taken all the profits from today, she suddenly wanted to cry without tears, but you left me some working capital......

In the kitchen, there are still some noodles, there is a lot of fat, and the vegetables are enough for tomorrow, tossing for a long time, Jia Yi found a lot of rapeseed from the kitchen, thinking that it was collected after buying rape, given that there is no edible vegetable oil in Datang, rapeseed is not so concerned, who would have thought that rapeseed in a sack would be the only way to stir-fry. Find a place to put a sack of rapeseed away, Jia Yi needs to make preparations for squeezing rapeseed oil, otherwise he will probably not be able to get even a drop of oil out of his blind work.

In order to reduce the workload tomorrow, Jia Yiwei put a large piece of fat and boiled it into lard, and the meat residue was carefully hidden, for fear that Lin Meiyu, who would come over tomorrow, would take it away in a pot again, and the dough containing chopped green onions and salt had already been placed in the dough jar, just waiting for tomorrow to be cut into dough sheets.

Lying on his own withered grass bed, Jia Yi no longer felt that the grass mat was panicked, and fell asleep on the bed, although it was still bright outside, and the snoring was already resounding in the grass room.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Jia Yi opened his eyes, and despite the adaptation of yesterday's day, it still felt like he was in a dream, but looking at the layout and things outside that had not changed at all, Jia Yi shook his head, sighed lightly, and walked out of the door.

I didn't have much to do in the morning, but I had nothing to do anyway, but I could try to get the tools I needed to press the rapeseed oil.

I didn't expect the tools to be very efficient, as long as I could squeeze out the rapeseed oil, I found a piece of wood of a foot size, took a knife and began to dig up on the wood, a small half a day's work, a simple wooden bowl molding, although the bottom of the wooden bowl is not very flat, but it can also be used improvised, carved out of an oil groove on the side of the wooden bowl, the tool is basically completed, just waiting for the oil.

Near noon, Lin Meiyu and Lin Ruyu appeared in the backyard at the same time, compared to Lin Meiyu's liveliness, Lin Ruyu was much calmer, and I believe that the affairs of the hall no longer need Jia Yi to worry about.

The moment he put down the door panel, the person standing behind the door startled Jia Yi, this door panel has not been put down, it means that it has not yet opened, who would have thought that just a dish of food would have such a big attraction to people, this has not yet opened the door, and the door is already full of people.

"Why are you on? We've all been waiting for a long time. ”

Without waiting for Jia Yiyi to put the door panel, the guests who couldn't wait went into the hall, and after choosing a location, they opened their mouths and ordered yesterday's oil-splashed noodles.

Lin Ruyu was not at the scene yesterday, although Lin Meiyu must have described the lively scene of the restaurant to her yesterday, but listening to and seeing are completely different things, and now seeing the guests in the hall, her pretty face also turned red because of excitement, and responded to the requests of the guests one by one.

An hour and a half of busyness finally came to an end with the end of the noodles and lard, Jia Yi had already called on the table like a mess of mud, no matter how Lin Meiyu pushed and shoved, Jia Yi didn't want to move.

"Meiyu, let Jia Yi have a good rest, he is really tired enough today."

With a grateful face, he cast a look full of endless warmth at Lin Ruyu, but Lin Ruyu's next words directly made the look in Jia's eyes disappear, and he fell on the table.

"When he is rested, he can make oily noodles for our family to eat at night."

When the three of them were resting and talking, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked in, and when he saw Lin Ruyu's delicate face, there was obviously an abnormal light in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

"Would you like to bring me a bowl of oily dough sheets?"
