Chapter 4 Mu's Restaurant (Ask for Collection)
"My big bag Dangmei!"
"My sugar man! No, and my lunch! ”
An hour later, Liu Yong and Yang Zhang came out of the small alley and returned to the wide royal street, crying wolves. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I blame you, I have to bet on anything. Lose it! ”
Yang Zhang complained to Liu Yong.
"Who knows why the two main players in the Pu Wangfu team were so careless, they kicked their legs less than two quarters of an hour after they came on the field, or they grabbed the ball and kicked it themselves! Not one, two! It's stupid to be a pig! ”
Liu Yong held his forehead with his hand and said sadly.
"I think you're an unlucky ghost, you've been caught skipping school, your lies have been exposed, and you've lost the game you have to win. You're unlucky yourself, and you're unlucky with me, really. ”
Yang Zhang said resentfully.
"Huh? Reasonable. I've had a lot of bad luck these days. Hurry up and go to Xiangguo Temple to burn pillar incense, and let the old monk show me. ”
Liu Yong looked at his left hand, which was still a little red and swollen, and touched the purse that was about to be empty, as if he had found the reason for his recent troubles, and agreed with surprise.
"My father gave me thirty yuan, bought a box of cold yuanzi, bought two sugar people, just now bought a pack of five-spiced sunflower seeds at the ball club, and lost ten yuan, and now there are two left, and there is no place to eat at noon."
Yang Zhang rummaged through all the pockets on his body, and found two small coins of Xining Tongbao with a little patina and green color, and he was about to cry when he looked at it.
"I'm better than you."
Liu Yong poured his purse, rolled out seven or eight copper coins of different sizes, and counted them.
"Eighteen Wen, it's just two big bucks to add it with you."
"What can you eat?"
Yang Zhang raised his head, looked at Liu Yong and asked.
"Twenty Wen can buy a cage of eel buns and two bowls of beef soup under the Longjin Bridge, and you can also get a small amount of money back."
Liu Yong spread his hands, embarrassed.
"Forget it, don't go anywhere else to eat, just go to my grandfather's foot shop and have a meal. Let's go, I'll take you to taste the best buckle bowl in Tokyo. ”
As he spoke, Liu Yong beckoned to Yang Zhang, and without waiting for Yang Zhang to respond, he trotted east in front. Seeing this, Yang Zhang had no choice but to follow behind. At the intersection of Shuiqiao Street, turn north, pass the Ding Wei Mansion, cross the mouth of Maiji Lane, cross the Baokangmen Bridge, go all the way north along Baokangmen Street, enter the Baokang Gate on the east side of the Suzaku Gate, and do not stop until the south exit of Madao Street.
"It's really far enough, I knew I wouldn't have run so far with you if I still eat buns."
Yang Zhang hunched his waist, raised his arm and wiped his fat face with his sleeve, and then caught a glimpse of the wet sleeve of the upper shirt made of poplin, rubbed it on his knee pants again, and complained to Liu Yong.
"You won't regret it. My grandfather's buckle meat is one of the best in Tokyo. ”
Liu Yong was also a little tired, pulled Yang Zhang to the side of the road to avoid it, and let a carriage pass.
"Well, it won't be too bad to think about."
Yang Zhang raised his head, stared directly at the signboards and streamers hanging on both sides of the street, swallowed his saliva, and said.
"Opening a restaurant in the inner city, or facing a place like the street, is too bad to close down a long time ago."
"This is it!"
After walking a few more steps forward from the south exit of Ma Dao Street, Liu Yong pointed to a small three-story corridor.
"Mujia Restaurant."
Yang Zhang read it in a whisper. Then I saw Liu Yong carefully sorting out the top and knee pants that he didn't know where he had been playing all morning, and he hurriedly sorted them out.
"Brother Yong'er is here?"
As soon as Liu Yong entered the door, he was seen by Mu Jia, who was busy at the counter, and shouted.
"Uncle, where's my grandfather?"
Liu Yong ran to the counter and asked.
"Lord Cai from the same square added Ding to his house, and he went to congratulate him."
"What about my cousin?"
"Brother Xun went with your aunt to Xiangguo Temple to repay his wishes. Isn't this the beginning of the year Brother Xun's serious illness, your aunt went to Xiangguo Temple to petition, and it didn't take long to get better. Since then, I have been busy with things and have not been willing to go.
By the way, what are you doing here? ”
Mu Jia was dressed in a light green gown, with blue edges embroidered on the cuffs and edges of the clothes, and a green half-arm was added to the outside, and gave the guests a silver bottle of wine from the Jiaoyu Xianzheng store, and then lay on the counter and said to Liu Yong.
"Today, a famous Confucian in Guozijian opened a lecture on the altar, and my classmates and I went to listen, and it just ended."
Liu Yong said with a serious face.
"Then you haven't eaten yet, quickly find a table with your classmates and sit down, and report to the back kitchen for whatever you want to eat."
"En, uncle, you are busy, don't worry about us."
Liu Yong and Mu Jia said hello, found a small table and sat down with Yang Zhang.
"My grandfather's bowl is one of the best in Tokyo, with more than 20 kinds of crispy meat, pork ribs, mustard meat, steamed chicken, bean curd meat, grilled sheep, carp and so on; Cooked food includes fried rabbit, yellow croaker, sheep's horn, kidney, dove, red silk, pig's head, pig's foot, and raw meatballs, which are no worse than other places; Sweets include red bean paste, cold yuanzi, eight-treasure rice, sand dumplings, five-color hemp balls, honey fried carvings; The soup includes barella soup, head soup, new method quail soup, and three crispy soups. What do you want to eat? ”
Liu Yong was like a few treasures, and he talked for a long time in one breath, and took a sip of the pineapple water sent by the guy he just met.
"You're talking too much...... I don't remember a single one. ”
Yang Zhang swallowed his saliva and said embarrassedly.
"Okay, so what do you say you don't eat?"
Liu Yong held his forehead with his hand and paused for a long time before saying.
"I don't eat fish. A few days ago, I had a froth in my mouth, and my mother said that it was on fire, so I didn't eat spicy food. Yang Zhang thought for a while and said.
"Yes, I see."
Liu Yong thought for a moment and replied. Then run to the back kitchen.
Mujia Restaurant is not a main store, but this does not mean that the scale of Mujia Restaurant is not as good as the main store, but it cannot be sold by itself, and it needs to be bought from the main store.
It is said that the Mujia Restaurant existed as early as the time of Emperor Zhenzong, and it was still the grandfather of Liu Yong's grandfather, but it was just a small shop in the outer city of Kaifeng at that time, with three or four tables, far less than the current three-story Madao Street in the inner city, with a small courtyard in the back. Because the bowl made by Mujia Restaurant is delicious and affordable, the business is booming, and it has gradually become a must-have in Kaifeng. By the time Liu Yong's grandfather was born, the Mu family restaurant moved from the outer city to its current location, and it has been more than 60 years.
The back kitchen has a square circle of three or four zhang, located in the southwest corner of the first floor of the small building, there are chefs, helpers, apprentices and one or twenty people, and there are several people around a well in the remote place of the back yard to choose vegetables and wash vegetables. The stove runs along a wall, and the coal and wood burn vigorously under the action of the blower.
The chef is also Liu Yong's uncle, but he is the cousin of his mother's aunt Mu's family.
"Uncle Cheng Bin."
Liu Yong poked his head into the back kitchen, and the thick white mist shrouded the entire kitchen like a cloud, and various sounds such as chopping vegetables, stir-frying, and firewood cracking were endless, and the aroma of various delicacies mixed together, causing Liu Yong's mouth to water.
"Brother Yong, are you here? Whatever you want to eat, your uncle will make it for you. ”
Li Chengbin heard Liu Yong calling himself, turned his head, picked up the towel on the table, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said.
"En, I want to eat fermented bean curd pork, eight-treasure rice, raw rice balls and grilled mutton, two bowls of white rice for the main food, and 100 flavor soup for the soup."
"It's medium, the back kitchen is hot, you wait outside first, and I'll bring it to you in a while."
The so-called buckle bowl means that the ingredients are placed upside down in the bowl, put in the spices such as green onion and ginger, put it in a large pot and steam, and when eating, it is turned upside down on the plate and taken to the bowl.
At lunch, Liu Yong and Yang Zhang ate very happily, it is hard to imagine that two and a half children will eat most of the dishes on the table.
Hmm, to be precise, Yang Zhang is alone.
"I didn't notice it in the morning, when did you eat like this?"
Liu Yong watched Yang Zhang solve twice as much food as he did, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"I lost money today, I have to eat it back."
Yang Zhang burped and said.
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, this is my grandfather's shop. ”
Liu Yong took a jump, turned his head to look around, and found that there was no familiar guy next to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and warned Yang Zhang.
"Oh, got it."
Yang Zhang also understood and was also startled. Having lost money, he is now very afraid that his father will know that he is gambling at a young age, and in his father's words, this is the consequence of not being able to get out of bed for at least three months.
"It's delicious, much better than the night market."
Yang Zhang changed his words.
"yes, it's a must-have in Tokyo."
Liu Yong said proudly. Seeing that Yang Zhang burped again, he said again.
"Let's eat enough, let's go when we're full."
"Don't worry, wait for me to get rid of this ball."
After that, Yang Zhang took the basin of raw balls and fought hard.
"I finally know where you got that fat meat. Others are full after two bites, but you can take two more bites when you are full......"
"Thank you for the compliment......"
