Chapter 7: If you can't find it, don't come back

The three of them gathered in the hall of Xinyue Building in three lazy postures, muttering for a long time, and finally staring at each other with wide eyes, and no one discussed a useful result.

To say that in this era, it is not easy to do a good restaurant, although the emergence and prosperity of stir-fried food was in the pre-Song Dynasty, with the troubled times after several twists and turns, the development and richness of stir-fried food also faced a lot of obstacles.

However, since the Ming Dynasty was the Yongle Emperor, the turbulent social environment has gone forever, especially after Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, the emperor who put hedonism back on the agenda, the folk extravagance has gradually begun to breed.

Therefore, under the sweep of this hedonism and extravagance, the development of various dishes has also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, presenting a spectacular scene of a hundred schools of thought.

Especially in coastal places like Fuzhou, there are so many restaurants that specialize in seafood that they want to occupy a place in Fuzhou's catering industry, which is really no joke.

Besides, since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, although stir-frying has been unprecedentedly developed, but in this kind of feudal conservative environment, stir-frying, as a survival craft, every family is adhering to the principle of self-cherishing of the broom, through the ancestral or exclusive form of apprenticeship to teach the craft, the market can not buy recipes for the majority of people to learn.

Therefore, Liu Hao, a chef who specializes in cooking for pirates, wants to rely on this messy stewing craft to make Xinyue Restaurant survive in a place like Lehe Street, even if their second lady Yang Yujin specially formulated a series of bureaus that specialize in pit scholars to cheat money, it is also unsustainable.

"How's business today?"

After noon, the three people in the hall were napping, and a woman's pleasant and brisk voice came from the entrance of the restaurant.

The woman was wrapped in a dark cloak, and walked out of the sunlight that slanted into the gate, and the sunlight behind her was like a colorful glow surrounded by a hundred flowers, imprinting her mysteriously and somewhat ethereal.

"I can tell you, this month is our deadline, if we can't make any more money, my father can say, he won't give us another penny, all of them will go back to the island to be pirates in peace, and no one will mention it after the good road, otherwise my father will break your legs..."

The woman took off her cloak, her slender waist wrapped around an ankle-high white dress, especially the jade belt in the middle, which made her slender waist soft and unbearable.

Look at her delicate facial features, exquisite, red lips, green silk like a waterfall, especially a looming beauty mole under the corner of the right eye is the finishing touch, making her dignified and skillful temperament a little more jumpy and eccentric.

"Miss"

"Second Miss..."

……

When the three of them saw the woman come in, they hurried forward, but they all looked weeping and mourning.

Yang Yujin is the second in the Yang family, there is an older sister Yang Yulu above, but she is married, and there is a younger brother Yang Yuchan below.

Hearing what Yang Yujin said, Wang Yisheng's hand holding the abacus trembled, and he looked at the monkey diagonally opposite him for help.

The monkey's eyes widened, and he glanced at Liu Hao, the scarface on his left hand, and then cried out loud for no reason: "Second Miss, today... Today let's... We were blackmailed for twenty-three taels, we didn't make any money, and we were almost dragged to see the official, our restaurant is estimated to be not only all for nothing this month, but also more than the previous three months...."

"Falsely accused? A dignified pirate was even slandered? What are you going to eat? ”

When Yang Yujin heard this, the pretty face that seemed to be quiet suddenly appeared with a hint of anger, rolled up his sleeves, and raised his willow eyebrows: "Who is so bold that he dares to lie to our heads, didn't you mention my name Yang Yujin?" ”

Belch?

Yang Yujin's three words?

Seem? Like, I really forgot to mention it...

Wait a minute... It's not the point, it's the point, what's the person's name?

The monkey slapped his head and glanced at Liu Hao inquiringly.

Seeing Liu Hao shaking his head again and again, his eyes looked at Wang Yisheng again.

Wang Yisheng was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly thought of Yang Li's words before leaving: "What about I, Yang Li, accompany you to the Yamen..."

He hurriedly wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead: "Called... The scholar's name is Yang Li, about fifteen or sixteen years old, seven feet tall, thin..."

Immediately, the three of them told Yang Li and the old man that they had dinner together and didn't give any money just now.

Yang Yujin listened to it very loudly, don't look at her reading a lot of books, she looks quiet and beautiful, she has lived with these pirates since she was a child, and she is still contaminated with a lot of irritable personality.

Boom...

There was a loud bang in the hall...

Yang Yujin's powder fist smashed on the table, and it directly smashed the wooden board more than an inch thick, and the silver teeth rattled: "Playing eagle all day, today I actually let the eagle peck in the eye, Yang Li, next time I dare to let this girl touch you, I will definitely make you worse than dead..."

It's no wonder that Yang Yujin is so angry, it's really that this month is too important for these pirates who want to be good.

Since the opening of this Xinyue Building, it has been a loss for three consecutive months, this month is the deadline, and the result is still the most loss, so it's no wonder that Yang Yujin is not in a hurry.

However, just when Yang Yujin said the words 'life is better than death', a piece of rice paper fell fluttering down on the table that was smashed open by her fist.

Coincidentally, the content written on this piece of rice paper happened to be presented in front of Yang Yujin: "The first course: crab steamed egg custard, specific method: 1. Prepare the ingredients, a half-catty crab, two eggs, two green onions, three to five garlic cloves, half a penny of ginger, one or two taels of liquor..... 16.

The second course: spicy fried squid rings......

Third course: Butter baked lobster"

is different from Wang Yisheng, Liu Hao, and Monkey, although the main business of the Yang family is to make a living at sea, Yang Yujin still received a good education since he was a child, and he has a special private teacher to teach him, which can be regarded as both civil and military.

Just when she saw the piece of paper left by Yang Li, her attention was quickly attracted by this piece of paper.

Recipe...

This turned out to be a recipe...

How rare a recipe is in this era, others may not know, how could she not know that she took these pirates to wander around Lehe Street for several months.

A good chef cherishes his own secrets, and a famous chef can't just spend money to get it, but also rely on relationships, find a way, and beg grandpa to tell grandma.

What's more, although Yang Li's recipe is only three dishes, it is written in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and each sentence is separated by symbols...

"Liu Hao... Do what it says, try it..."

Yang Yujin was a little excited, and when she said this, her tall jade peak kept rising and falling.

Hope, the hope of the Joy Building...

Perhaps, these three dishes will be the turning point for my heart to come back to life...

……

"Miss... How does it taste? ”

Soon, according to Yang Li's recipe, Liu Hao made the simplest and fastest dish of steamed egg custard with crab.

Seeing Yang Yujin scoop a small spoonful of egg custard into his mouth, squinting his eyes, and not speaking for a long time in intoxication, Liu Hao asked nervously.

"Well... Delicious..."

Yang Yujin didn't open her eyes, and even when she said these two simple words, her voice was still intoxicated and indistinct.

"It's so delicious, the custard is creamy and melts in your mouth, the aroma of the crab meat and the flavor of the eggs blend perfectly, I'm sure it's the best food I've ever eaten when it grows so big..."

"Isn't it? Is it really that delicious? ”

The monkey was skeptical.

You must know that Yang Yujin, as the second lady of the Yang family, has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she is not a hillbilly who has never seen the market.

Seeing Yang Yujin's intoxicated appearance, Wang Yisheng pursed his lips and said, "Miss said that this is the first time she has eaten such a delicious thing, how delicious must it be?" ”

Liu Hao was more rude, and he didn't care about the relationship between master and servant, so he couldn't help but directly pick up a spoon and scoop it into his mouth.

However, the moment he put a spoonful of crab egg custard into his mouth, his burly body trembled suddenly, and he almost didn't fall, and ran towards the kitchen with a whoosh.

The monkey and Wang Yisheng looked at each other suddenly, and the monkey hurriedly chased after two steps and shouted, "Fifth brother... How are you? Miss has eaten it all, it won't be poisonous, right? ”

There was no response from Liu Hao in the kitchen for a long time.

Yang Yujin still squinted his eyes and didn't speak, looking endless.

The hall fell into deathly silence for a moment.

It can't really be toxic, right?

If the young lady is poisoned, how can she live?

The monkey and Wang Yisheng looked nervously at Yang Yujin, who was half-squinting, and felt that they couldn't get up in one breath and were about to suffocate.

Time passed almost ten breaths, only to hear the sound of ping-pong knives colliding in the back kitchen, Liu Hao's voice finally came: "It's so delicious, just now I accidentally swallowed my tongue into my stomach, and I finally figured it out... No way... I've got to hurry up and make the second and third ones..."

Swallowed your tongue in your stomach?

Is there really such a delicious dish in this world?

Brush...

The monkey and Wang Yisheng immediately reacted, and their fiery eyes all looked at the plate of freshly baked crab custard on the table.

Bang...

Feeling the fiery gaze of the monkey and Wang Yisheng, and a loud bang sounded in the hall of Xinyue Building, Yang Yujin glared angrily, like a mother and son who was protecting her cubs, and directly covered the plate of dishes, and howled: "My... It's mine... It's all mine, who dares to touch my dishes, Miss Ben and who are desperate..."

"Miss... Morsel... Let's just take a bite..."

"No... Not a single bite..."

Yang Yujin's desperate posture of whoever dares to move is not negotiable at all.

Completely ignoring her beautiful image, she ate a large plate of dishes in a few bites, and licked the plate cleanly, only to hear him hum: "Didn't Yang Li also write a couplet?" Hurry, hurry, bring it to me..."

"Oh..."

The left and right dishes are not for the two of them.

Wang Yisheng and the monkey had to be very reluctant to go to the counter to find the couplet that they had stepped on countless times to vent their anger.

His luck was not bad, but fortunately he only stepped on a few feet and didn't throw it away and burn it alive.

Not long after, the piece of Zou Baba's paper that had been stepped on appeared in Yang Yujin's hand.

Yang Yujin was in a good mood, and read it out loud directly: "Lonely cold window... Empty ......"

Well?

What's going on?

What is this couplet?

How can there be such a couplet in this world?

Yang Yujin, who originally ate a delicious dish and smiled happily, suddenly became extremely serious when she read the word "cold window".

You must know that Yang Yujin has read poetry and books since she was a child, although she can't say that she can't go to school and get rich five cars, but it is not difficult to have a couplet, and she still has some intuitive understanding.

In addition, today's Daming scientific examination is very hot, and folk dances, ink and poetry clubs abound, and Yang Yujin has participated in a lot since he was a child.

But this pair...

only read the word cold window, and gave her a kind of Mount Tai pressure, a kind of pressure that made her breathless.

Lonely cold window... Empty... Widowed...

How's that right?

It's all treasure heads, independent sentences, and far-reaching artistic conceptions...

If you want to come out of the next link, it is not literally true, but you also need to fight evenly, and the artistic conception is appropriate, which is difficult, not to mention that all seven words are correct, that is, it is more difficult to get two words.

……

After being stunned for a long time, Yang Yujin sat helplessly on the chair, feeling a huge sense of powerlessness.

From recipes to couplets, at this time, where could she not know that her Xinyue Lou today is a master.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find it for me..."

This is a decision made by Yang Yujin weakly leaning back in his chair and pondering for a long time.

The monkey and Wang Yisheng didn't understand what Yang Yujin meant by this sentence, and the two looked at each other.

However, at this time, Yang Yujin slammed the table again, his pretty face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "What are you doing standing stupidly, hurry up and find someone for me, tell you, this person is the key to the resurrection of our restaurant, if you can't find anyone, you two don't have to come back..."
