Chapter Twenty-Three: Making a Name
"Huh?" The diner who called Lao Zhang opened his eyes and looked surprised, took the Hu Cake and looked at it, and took a few more bites.
"I said, uncle, you don't just eat by yourself, the big guy is waiting." The onlookers were in a hurry, and someone in the crowd shouted.
The diner who called Lao Zhang looked at the Hu cake in his hand with some surprise, then looked at Wang Laohan, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This cake is not as good as Wang Laohan, it doesn't taste so strong, and it's a little too soft to chew." ”
When everyone heard him say this, they were about to show disappointment, but they heard him say again: "But although this cake is not as good as Lao Wang's, with these mutton foam, the taste is much better than that of Lao Wang!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Laohan on the other side immediately turned pale, raised his hand and pointed at the diner who called Lao Zhang, and then lowered his arm in frustration.
"Let's try it, everybody." Wei Renshi casually divided the few in his hand with a few people, then picked up the last two himself, crossed the street, walked to Wang Laohan and her daughter, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, I didn't want to be serious with you, but you have to be more serious with me." You two have a taste. ”
As he spoke, he put down the two pieces of bread and went to the other side again.
Wang Laohan stared at the cake dejectedly, was silent for a long time, and suddenly grabbed it and tore off a piece and put it in his mouth.
Wang Xiaosui also broke off a piece and chewed it.
The father and daughter looked startled at once, then looked at each other, and then looked carefully at the mutton on the cake.
But said that here, several people who tasted the Hu cake shouted that it was delicious, which made everyone even more itchy.
Wei Renshi seized this opportunity and shouted around again: "The cake can't make so much, there is too much broth for this mutton stew, it can't be wasted, wait for me to make it, let you taste the mutton soup I made." ”
Zheng Lizheng, Tian Dali, and Li He and Li Rong all started to help together, and took out a lot of small bowls, all of which looked different, and Zheng Lizheng borrowed so many from everywhere.
I scooped a small bowl of mutton soup, cut two bites of shredded bread and soaked it, and served it to the people around me.
"Don't rob, don't rob, it's all there." Zheng Lizheng shouted as he handed them the bowl.
"Huh! This lamb soup is delicious! There were already people who drank it next to him and began to express their opinions: "Drinking this soup tastes better than eating mutton!" ”
When everyone heard this, they squeezed forward.
Not long after, a pot of mutton soup was also sent out.
"There's more than one way to eat cakes!" Zheng Li was shouting next to him, shouting as he rolled some of the fried mutton and bean sprouts into the pancakes with chopsticks.
A group of people gathered around again.
"Delicious!" Someone rushed to eat it first, and immediately shouted loudly, attracting the surrounding crowd to pass, and snatching the burrito out again.
Seeing that everything was gone, everyone still hadn't left, and the people who hadn't drunk were a little depressed, but they heard Wei Renshi shouting again: "This is the pork I cooked with secret ingredients, dare to say that there is no fishy taste, sandwiched in this kind of cake, it is also very delicious, who would like to taste it?" ”
With the previous few delicious foundations, the people around them believed a lot of Wei Renshi's words, and some people were a little hesitant at this time, and some people were eager to try.
Tian Dali lifted the lid, and a smell of meat immediately permeated.
Everyone sniffled, and sure enough, they didn't smell the fishy smell of ordinary pork.
"You taste one." Tian Dali handed the meat bun to the old Zhang just now, Lao Zhang hesitated, but still took a bite.
After this mouthful, the expression on his face immediately changed.
"Delicious! Delicious! It's even better than mutton! Lao Zhang only said one word, and immediately buried his head in gnawing.
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all squeezed through again.
"Aya, I can see it, I'm afraid you've been tricked this time." On the other side of the street, Wang Xiaosuier said to Wang Laohan: "He knows that the reputation of our Hu Cake Shop is big in Fuchang, so he deliberately came to fight you." If he defeats you, he will become famous, and in the future, everyone will know that his cakes are delicious. ”
Wang Laohan sighed heavily and said, "That's too late." Xiao Sui'er, our shop is at the end of the day. ”
After saying a word, most of the people are old.
Seeing that the things over there had been snatched up, Wei Renshi came over with a smile again.
Wang Xiaosui frowned and stared at Wei Renshi.
After Wei Renshi came over, he looked at Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui'er, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, how is it?" ”
Wang Laohan snorted and said: "The big guy's mouth won't deceive people, if the old man loses, he loses, what do you want to do, just say it." I, the old man, am willing to gamble and lose! ”
"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded, and then said to Wang Xiaosui'er: "This girl, I will ask you to grab a handful of the contents of my cloth bag and put them into the pot of mutton you cooked, and then take my gourd and pour a big spoonful of the contents into your mutton." ”
Not only Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosuier, but even the people around who were waiting to watch the excitement were all stunned when they heard this.
"Willing to lose, go." Wei Renshi reminded again.
Wang Xiaosui gritted her teeth, went to the other side, took the cloth bag and gourd, grabbed a handful of powder from the cloth bag, threw it into the broth, and opened the mouth of the gourd, poured out a spoonful of the contents and poured it into the broth.
Everyone didn't understand why, so they didn't leave, and stayed to see the excitement.
After a while, Wei Renshi said again: "Shopkeeper Wang, I bother you to try this pot of broth again." ”
Although Wang Laohan was reluctant, he still got up and went over, picked up the spoon, scooped it up, blew it, and drank it.
"Huh?!" Wang Laohan looked surprised, and quickly scooped up a spoonful and tasted it. Immediately, he fished out a piece of meat from it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"What's going on?" Wang Laohan looked at Wei Renshi in shock.
Before Wei Renshi could speak, a person suddenly popped out next to him, snatched the spoon from Wang Laohan's hand, and said, "It's really unpleasant, but you can suffocate a certain family!" What do you two say it, a certain stab at a plain look! ”
As he spoke, he actually scooped a mouthful of soup from the pot and drank it, saying, "Huh! This broth is almost the same as what I just tasted! A certain family asked, that little Langjun, is it related to what you just let that little lady put in? ”
Wei Renshi nodded with a smile and said, "This is the secret ingredient for my cooking, there are meat and vegetarian ingredients, and when you cook the ingredients, you can put them in it, and it has the power of turning decay into magic." You have already seen the effect. The time to put it in is short, so the taste of this pot of broth is still poor, and if it is boiled for a long time, the taste is almost the same as what I just made. ”
"Dare to ask this Lang Jun, do you mean that when you are cooking meat in ordinary times, you can put in your secret ingredients, and you can make it taste similar to what you made today?" At this time, the round Jiao Haiqing finally appeared, he squeezed through the crowd, walked closer, and asked.
"Not bad." Wei Renshi nodded and replied.
"Dare to ask if this Lang Jun's secret material is sold?!" Jiao Haiqing hurriedly asked again.
"It's a secret ingredient for cooking, and it's not a matter of interest to my family. Sell naturally. Wei Renshi said.
Jiao Haiqing immediately asked again: "But I don't know the price?" ”
"It's not a wait." Wei Renshi said again: "The materials are better, the techniques are more difficult, the seasoning effect is better, and naturally it is more expensive, and even a few dollars are available." However, ordinary people probably don't need such a good one, the seasoning effect is poor, but it is enough to make a pot of food delicious, it will be cheap, and even a few pennies a pack is available. ”
"Naturally, I want the most expensive and the best!" Jiao Haiqing smiled proudly and asked, "Dare to ask where to sell?" ”
"I haven't found a shop in the city yet, if this Lang Jun wants it now, you can go to Changgu to find it." Wei Renshi said: "Or wait a few more days, and when I finish the shop, I will sell it in Fuchang City." ”
Jiao Haiqing's nursery was done very well, and after the people around heard the conversation between the two, they all shouted for Wei Renshi to buy a shop quickly.
Wei Renshi looked back at Wang Laohan, who was mourning, thought about it, and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, this time I used it for you, because you had to be more serious with me, so I used it for me, and I made a name for this seasoning." But I don't want to ruin your business, when my spice shop opens, I will sell it to you first, and I will also tell you how to use these spices to achieve the best results. As for the rest of the seasonings for today, I'll leave them all for you! ”
Wang Laohan and Wang Xiaosui were stunned, as if they felt that they had heard it wrong.
"You say, give it to us?" Wang Xiaosui asked, "You don't squeeze our business?" ”
Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "What I want to sell is a secret sauce for seasoning, not a cake, so I want to squeeze your business." ”
After that, he turned his head to Wang Laohan and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, today's matter, my seasoning is famous and known because of you. But because of my seasonings, you can make your own Hu cakes taste better. The Hu cakes you made are already good, and with my seasoning, the taste will be better, and the business will naturally not be worse than before in the future. It's a win-win situation for you and me, and it's not a bad thing for you, but it's a good thing. ”
Wang Laohan opened his mouth, his face showed a hint of guilt, and he lowered his head.
Wei Renshi said to the surroundings again: "Everyone, all the seasonings I left today will be left to Wang Laohan, and his Hu cakes will be more delicious in the future, don't forget to cheer!" ”
"Hahahaha, Xiao Langjun's atmosphere." The big man who was anxious just now and went over to scoop the soup and tasted it laughed and shouted.
