Chapter 36: The Restaurant Dispute

Diao Zi fish with such a long arm is a specialty of Jinghu.

How can there be any artificial breeding of Diaozi fish today? They are all salvaged from the wild lake, and they are all alive and kicking, and even the texture of the muscles exudes the unique aroma of wild meat.

Disemboweled, stolen goods, and cheeks, Lin and the sharp knife in his hand flew up and down, as if he was really a chef. In fact, in this day and age, he really deserves to be called a chef.

After cooking the five fish, they were rubbed with salt and hung in the ventilation area at the door of the back kitchen, while large pieces of lard were added to the pot, and the milky white grease gradually turned golden under the high temperature.

When the oil temperature is in place, throw the fish into the pan and fry it until golden brown and crispy. Scoop it up and cool it aside, pour the oil in the pot into a small jar for storage, leave only the bottom oil, stir-fry the garlic, wild onion and ginger slices, and add the sauce and dogwood to fry the spicy air, then put the five Diao Zi fish into the pot, add boiling water, cover the pot and simmer for five minutes.

Dry-roasted Diao Zi Fish, this is a famous dish in Hubei in later generations, five golden Diao Zi Fish poured with a thick salty sauce, the only pity is that the chili pepper can not be found at this time, otherwise the flavor is more sufficient.

Seeing Tuan Tuan squatting at the door of the back kitchen, the saliva on the side of his mouth was about to drip down, Lin He casually handed the plate to Aunt Chen and took it out, and washed his hands in clean water, and then touched Tuan Tuan's head dotingly.

"Hurry up to the front to eat, remember to wash your hands, my brother will be here in a while."

At the door of the back kitchen, Xu En had two dark circles under his eyes, like a panda in the world, and when he saw Lin He coming out, he asked very seriously: "Cousin, this is the technique you taught in the mountain gate?" ”

He shook his nose slightly, just such a small movement, which made him feel a little rude, and bowed and said: "Sure enough, it is a miraculous skill, it seems that the avenues of the world are all ordinary......"

"Okay, okay, if you have something, just talk about it, I'm in a hurry to eat."

Lin He waved his hand angrily, this summer, he was busy in the kitchen for an hour, smoky and burning, this will be the time to catch fire, he is still here, Lin You's patience is not as good as usual.

"Cousin, the younger brother has a reluctant request......"

Seeing that Lin He's face was not good, Xu En immediately said what he meant, who knew that before the words were finished, Lin He rolled his eyes: "It's a reluctant invitation to say it, then don't say it, go to dinner with me." ”

While speaking, Lin He pulled Xu En's shoulders and said helplessly: "Cousin, you are the hope of the whole Xu family, I don't know how many people point to the day you were in high school, this son is not studying at home, but what are you doing in this troubled water?" Your Xu family has a big business, do you still lack this money and food? ”

Xu En's face flushed, he broke free from Lin You, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said seriously: "Cousin, in fact, the younger brother has been hiding something before. The biggest property of my Xu family in Jiangling Mansion is the restaurant, before I came to the door, my mother knew that my cousin had been wronged in Ezhou's hometown, so she settled in Jiangling Mansion. Before my cousin showed off his skills in the snack street, my mother told me that the Xu family was not allowed to talk about their own business, so as not to misunderstand my cousin...... My Xu family has the intention of coveting your secret recipe. ”

I had seen Xu En's expression unnatural many times before, and Lin He didn't think deeply. After all, compared with the Xu family of the Jiangnan family, Lin He can just make some quick money. Since getting along during this time, Lin You doesn't know how the rest of the Xu family is, but this Xu En, as well as his aunt Lin Yue, really cares about him sincerely.

Not to mention anything else, the maid and servant sent that day solved a lot of trouble at home, and this favor is not small.

Don't say that you don't care much about the business of the snack street, even if it is really a core industry, aren't your relatives more trustworthy than outsiders?

Xiaolinzi, who has been working in state-owned enterprises for many years, is still quite confident in his own craftsmanship.

Seeing that he was apprehensive, Lin He shook his head with a smile: "Those so-called secret recipes in the snack street are not particularly powerful things, if my aunt and cousin really need it, I will copy a copy for you." ”

When Xu En saw him say this, his face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head again and again: "This can't be done, although the daily routine money in this snack street is not much, but it is a trickle of water, how dare I ask for it?" If my mother knew about this, she would have to break my little brother's leg, and I would never mention this matter again! ”

Lin He was strange: "Then what is the matter with you telling me this?" It's confusing. ”

Xu En said a little shyly: "Actually, it's my uncle...... I want to meet you. ”

After a long explanation, Lin Youcai finally understood the whole story. It turns out that the Xu family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the biggest business on the surface is the restaurant, and this Jiangling Mansion, as the base camp of the Xu family, naturally has its own business.

In modern terms, this is the flagship store in Xujia Restaurant - Duanyue Building. And Xu En's uncle Xu An is the head of Duanyue Tower here.

If you want to say why Xu An is looking for Lin He, you have to start with Duanyuelou's old opponent Que Jianlou.

Que Jianlou is the property of the Chongyang Wang family, the old opponent of the Xu family, both sides are Jiangnan Wang clans, the Xu family has a long history and a deeper heritage, although the Wang family is only an emerging family compared to the Xu family, but the limelight is much stronger than the Xu family.

Without him, it is still out of the matter of the imperial examination.

In the past ten years, the Wang family has produced three jinshi, and one of them is a second-class jinshi, which is a rising tide. For a country like China, which has an official-based mentality, you have earned tens of millions of family fortunes, which is not as good as the scenery of a nine-grade official.

No matter how rich you are, you are only a citizen, Shinong and industrialist, how old are you? The so-called mansion of the county order to destroy the family, people want to rectify you, if you don't have an official character, you don't even have a place to speak, you can only admit it.

No matter how broad the ancestors of the Xu family are, they are also ancestors, and none of these two generations has come out, which determines their weakness in the face of competition from the Wang family.

Of course, the two families were evenly matched, and the Xu family was only slightly inferior, however, since Lin He appeared in the snack street, the Xu family was able to suffer.

Why?

Two points, first, the Wang family doesn't care about doing things, what they have always pursued is to be fast, accurate and ruthless, and they dug up the secret recipe of Liu Box and a group of people at the first time.

Second, the Wang family's Quejian Building itself is the main high-end, not only the Quejian Building, but also the Wang family's two green buildings, which are also high-end routes, and the explosion of this snack street has a limited impact on their family. Duanyuelou is positioned in the middle end, and the easiest to be led away by food is this gang of real foodies who have a certain amount of spending power, but do not have high requirements for the dining environment.

……

Lin He believes that if it weren't for the relationship between the two families, the Xu family would only be afraid that they would want to skin themselves. More than a month has passed, and the business of Qijianlou has not been affected, and even after improving new dishes such as tofu skin, business is becoming more and more prosperous. But Duanyuelou was blind, no, the steward couldn't sit still.

Xu An also knew what kind of temper her sister-in-law was, so she asked her to beg the Lin family to be scolded for not being able to do anything...... So he moved his mind to Xu En. Xu Enlin and Xie Fang, the three sons, acted bravely, and the deeds of solving Yu Niang's case have spread all over Jiangling, and this matter is more reliable for the little nephew to say than to come forward in person.

Listening to Xu En's story, Lin He smiled and touched his chin: "This bird is really dead when I Lin someone, I actually dared to steal my secret recipe, I wanted to teach them a lesson, it just so happened that your uncle came to the door, little cousin, you make an appointment, I'll go and show your uncle." ”

Lin He didn't know what to think all the way, but his smile made Xu En couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and the two walked into the front hall and were about to sit down to eat, when they saw Lin Zhong running in panting.

"Childe, Lord Cai...... Lord Cai sent someone to come to the house to talk about it. ”
