Chapter 11: Gastronomy Monopoly
Without exception, Liu Yuanshan wrote out recipes related to chili peppers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No way, who's going to make this thing competitive?
The recipe is ready-made, the chef is ready-made, Ge Erniu is the shopkeeper and the guest at the same time, and Liu Yuanshan invited four or five other people to serve the food and move the wine.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Two days later, when Liu Da returned from his hometown with a large cart of chili peppers, Dongfeng finally arrived.
Everything was ready, but Liu Yuanshan didn't dare to open it rashly.
Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and advertising still has to be done.
Liu Yuanshan set the date of opening, and then asked his subordinates to distribute leaflets throughout Fang County, overwhelmingly publicizing it, of course, in order to attract customers enough, he also played a nirvana.
Taste!
Of course, Fang County has a large population, and there are many poor people, Liu Yuanshan can't just pull someone over to eat like later generations when he chooses the goal of tasting, his goal is very clear, that is, the rich family in Fang County.
Choose representative ones, such as Lord Huang and Qin Jiaoyu, such as Chen Chenglu, the secretary of the household, Feng Kexing of the military room, and even the Ye family and Hu Sanlai also received his free food post.
A few days later, Erniu Restaurant officially opened!
Not only Erniu, but Liu Yuanshan was also at the door of the store, wearing a bright red robe to greet customers in person.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The sound of firecrackers outside is non-stop, and although those who come to eat for free do not have to spend money to eat, they are invited to try it after the opening of Erniu Restaurant, and they naturally will not come empty-handed.
According to local rules, everyone invited carries a firecracker!
"Lord Huang, welcome, welcome, Lord Huang is here, and it is shining!"
Seeing Lord Huang coming over with Qin's teachings, Liu Yuanshan hurriedly greeted him.
"Haha!" Master Huang laughed, pointed to Liu Yuanshan like an old friend at the moment, and said: "San Lang will not disappoint the old man every time, this time it is said that there is food, and this official is really moving his index finger." ”
"You won't be disappointed!"
Liu Yuanshan laughed and took Lord Huang into the box on the second floor.
After a while, another burst of firecrackers rang out, and Liu Yuanshan hurriedly went downstairs.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall, fair-skinned, and a few strands of beard floating, quite a bit of Confucianism, but it was a pity that he betrayed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hahaha, I heard that there is a shop for free meals here, and it's a bastard if it's cheap, haha, let's try it!"
Liu Yuanshan gave up.
The man said: "I am Chen Chenglu!" ”
Liu Yuanshan had a smile on his face, but he secretly sneered in his heart.
"Lord Chen, please come in!"
Chen Chenglu was followed by more than a dozen people, not only men and women, but also two five or six-year-old children.
It seems that he dragged his family to take advantage of it.
"Lord Chen, please go up to the second floor!"
"No!" Chen Chenglu shook his hand, pointed to the hall on the first floor, and said, "It's good here, there are those scholars above, they don't look down on us, and we don't bother to go over." ”
"That's fine!"
Liu Yuanshan arranged a good location for Chen Chenglu's family and went to greet the others.
On the first day of opening, Liu Yuanshan was not open to the public, except for those who ate for free, because he was afraid that the chef would not be able to keep busy at that time.
In the end, I found out that I was really wrong, more than 20 posts were sent out, but only a dozen of them really arrived, and there were not many people who wanted Chen Chenglu to drag his family so much.
So the first day of opening wasn't too busy!
"Serve!"
Liu Yunshan saw that everyone was almost here, so he asked people to arrange for the food to be served.
Because it's free, there is no menu on the first day of the restaurant's opening, so you can only follow the set meal that you prepared before, and the dishes on each table are basically the same.
The first course, chopped pepper fish head!
Chopped peppers are made from pickled green peppers, and it is impossible for Liu Yuanshan to pickle good chopped peppers in just a few days, these things are finished products brought from home.
Several of the people in the box are well-dressed and fluttering readers, so naturally they won't start immediately after serving a dish.
But Chen Chenglu in the hall below is different, there are men and women at his table to help the old and the young, and after the first chopped pepper fish head, someone immediately started.
Although there is no etiquette, there are still rules.
Chen Chenglu, as a parent, no one dared to move before he didn't move the chopsticks.
Therefore, he was the first to move his chopsticks, slowly sandwiched a small piece of fish, and put the fish meat in his mouth somewhat absentmindedly.
He is a big local household, and he doesn't dare to say that he has eaten all the food in the north and south of the river, but he has eaten the food of the entire Xiangyang Mansion once, and this time Liu Yuanshan posted a free food post, he only regarded it as a cheap trip, and he didn't have much expectations at all.
"Hiss ......"
The fish pieces with fine chopped pepper crumbs have just been eaten, and Chen Chenglu's first feeling is spicy!
It's spicy!
But this spicy is not the same as the spicy taste of peppercorns and onions and garlic that he used to eat.
Just wanted to spit out the pleasure in his mouth, but at the same time, the taste also deeply stimulated his taste buds for the first time, and the whole mouth instantly secreted saliva, making him feel like it was a pity to vomit.
"Poof!" Chen Chenglu swallowed the fish piece in one gulp, spit it out again, and fanned the air in front of his mouth with his hand, saying, "Spicy, spicy to death!" ”
"Rice, rice!" Chen Chenglu shouted.
Erniu hurriedly sent a bowl of rice over.
Liu Yuanshan laughed in the distance.
Ancient people who have never eaten chili peppers should be very refreshing to eat chopped peppers for the first time, hehe!
After Chen Chenglu got the rice, he took two bites ruthlessly, the spicy feeling in his mouth slowly subsided, and the tip of his tongue was not so painful, but he unconsciously raised the chopsticks in his right hand and went towards the fish piece.
It's spicy, but it's really, really, delicious!
"Okay, you guys try it too, it tastes so good!" Chen Chenglu pointed to the head of the chopped pepper fish with chopsticks.
Then, a tiger-headed five or six-year-old child stood up and was about to clip it with chopsticks.
"Little Tiger, slow down!" Chen Chenglu said: "You clip a little less!" ”
This little bit is the son born to him by his fourth concubine, and he is the most popular with Chen Chenglu on weekdays.
Xiaohu ignored Chen Chenglu's warning, took a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then, he froze!
Three seconds later.
"Wow......" cried out, spit out the fish meat in his mouth, and sprinkled chopsticks in his right hand to wipe his tongue.
Chen Chenglu laughed, but the concubine Hu next to him was worried about his son, so he pointed to Erniu standing at the counter and scolded: "What kind of meal is this in your house, is it poisoned, if my son has three long and two short ......"
Erniu hurriedly ran over, put a bowl of white rice in front of Xiaohu, and said to Hu: "I'm sorry Madam, just eat more rice!" ”
When Hu heard him call his wife, his anger also disappeared a lot, and he hurriedly fed his son in person.
Xiaohu cried while eating rice, and the rest of the people didn't dare to move their chopsticks.
Hu Shi coaxed beside him and said, "Okay Xiaohu, let's go, go home and make something to eat for you, let's not eat his Laoshzi fish head!" ”
"Ah......" Xiaohu cried, wiped his tears, and shook his head.
"Let's go, go home, my mother will make you your favorite meatballs!"
Hu is still pulling him.
But Xiaohu magically stopped yelling and turned into sobbing, sobbing and pointing to the plate of chopped pepper fish heads.
"What's wrong?" Hu asked.
"Eat ......," Xiaohu shouted heartbreakingly.
Then Chen Chenglu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, the taste of this thing is, well, good." Be careful when you eat, you can only eat a little at a time! ”
The family began to move their chopsticks, and then the roars, coughs, and hissing continued.
Liu Yuanshan was too lazy to listen, so he asked his subordinates to serve Chen Chengfeng's dishes all at once.
He personally carried the rice upstairs with a wooden plate, came to Lord Huang's box, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my dish is a little spicy, and it is best to eat while eating when the adults are eating!" ”
"What is spicy, what is spicy, they are all seven-foot men, and they will be afraid of spicy." Sect Qin waved his hand and said, "You withdraw the meal first, I will accompany Lord Huang to drink two cups first." ”
"That's it, that's it!" Someone chimed in and said, "Who hasn't eaten spicy food, I've eaten all the old garlic in Shandong." ”
Everyone blasted Liu Yuanshan out.
Liu Yuanshan smiled bitterly, went downstairs with the meal, and instructed the work to serve food to the upstairs box.
I don't know the hearts of good people, a bunch of dog things, wait a minute, don't shout Lao Tzu!
Put the pot full of rice on the table, sit down on the chair by yourself, and leisurely raise Erlang's legs.
Listening to the hissing voices of everyone in the hall, and looking at the guests coming and going outside the door, I was slightly relieved.
Two minutes later, the sound of pedaling suddenly sounded at the staircase, and then a junior student in his twenties ran down and shouted at Liu Yuanshan: "Ha, hiss, Liu Jia, hiss, ha, Liu Jiasanlang, hurry, hurry." Hiss, rice, hiss, hiss, ha! ”
Liu Yuanshan turned his head and couldn't help but smile after seeing his embarrassed appearance: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't, alas, eat!"
The man finished and left.
The subordinates in the back went upstairs with their meals.
As for what happened in it, you don't have to think about it to know.
After Lord Huang finished eating, his face was flushed, and after going downstairs, he shook his head and said to Liu Yuanshan: "Gluttonous feast, you kid, you really have yours, I don't know what you put in this meal, in the future, I am afraid that the official will be tasteless if he eats something else!" ”
Under Liu Yuanshan's propaganda with many means, the business of Erniu Restaurant is predictably better.
Of course, secrets can't be kept forever, especially when it comes to diet.
Peppers finally raised their heads in the Ming Dynasty and began a universal journey more than a hundred years in advance.
However, Liu Yuanshan is not worried that his business will deteriorate, because although many people know that he has chili peppers in his dishes, so what?
Other people's planting is for ornamentation, it is impossible to have one acre, and it is impossible for the entire Xiangyang Mansion to have more than one-tenth of what Liu Yuanshan planted.
Without a source of materials, this is a monopoly business!
Besides, even if there are chili peppers, do you know the process of chili processing? (To be continued.) )
