Li Ce made a straight face, and took advantage of the situation to pull Yu Xian'er behind him, he looked at the three of them, shook his head and sneered, looking at the bears of the three people, he knew that they were land hooligans.

"Who are you, get out of the way!" When the three of them saw that Li Ce was protecting Yu Xian'er, they scolded him, and the villain led by him slapped the table violently, and he was about to attack. He was about to scold, but found that his right hand was pressed on the table and he couldn't lift it.

As soon as the wicked man slapped the table just now, Li Ce reached out and pressed him.

The wicked man couldn't help but be furious, he made a fierce effort, but he didn't pull it out, and he still didn't move at all, this hand seemed to be locked by an iron hoop, he roared, and his left hand clenched his fist and hit Li Ce.

Li Ce snorted coldly, his right hand slammed into force, only to hear a few crisp sounds of "click", and then saw Li Ce's fist getting smaller and smaller, so painful that the evil man hurriedly withdrew the left fist that hit Li Ce, Li Ce exerted another force, and the evil man let out a howl like killing a pig in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

As soon as the other two evil men saw that their companions were restrained, they pulled out their stools and were about to fight. As soon as Li Ce let go of his hand, the restrained evil man hurriedly withdrew his right hand, which was even more shocking to see, his right hand was now like a twisted flower, and it was distorted to the point that it was not good! The pain made him sweat coldly. The other two couldn't help but gasp, the villain who was restrained was their head, but they didn't expect to be wasted before the fight started, this young man in front of him is not easy to mess with!

Li Ce was so angry just now that he crushed all the bones in his right hand at once, and it is estimated that even if this hand can be saved, it will be considered useless. He was angry that this wicked man dared to do something to Xian'er, and after hearing what Xian'er had just said, it was not the first time that these people had come to find trouble, so he taught him a lesson.

The injured villain covered his right hand and wailed, the beads of sweat on his face were dripping non-stop, and the other two were shocked by Li Ce for a while, and they didn't dare to move.

The two villains grabbed their injured companions, glanced at each other, and said to Li Ce: "Uncle, you don't remember the villain, I'll wait for you to leave." "With that, he was about to step away.

Li Ce stretched out his hand to stop them and said, "Don't be busy leaving, the account hasn't been settled yet."

The two were embarrassed, they didn't bring money when they came, in fact, they didn't plan to pay at all, they just came to find trouble, but they never thought that they actually ran into hard stubble and planted their heels. One person sneered and said, "I went out in a hurry today, and I will definitely send it another day." "After that, I have to take another step.

Li Ce sneered and said, "Since you didn't bring any money, let's leave something." The two of them were shocked, their faces turned white, and one of them cried and said, "Uncle, you can spare the little one, and the little one will never dare again." ”

Li Ce said with a straight face: "Then who did you say sent you?" "The ruffians were clearly instructed to find out who was doing the tricks.

"Uncle, it's me who is blind, and no one sent us." The man quibbled.

"Hmph, don't cry when you don't see the coffin, do you want your right hand or your left hand?" Li Ce deliberately pretended to be fierce, and deliberately looked at the right hands of the two of them.

"Ah...... This...... This "The other person was already frightened when he saw Li Ce's angry appearance, and then saw the painful appearance of his companion, and he stammered: "I said, I said, the horse shopkeeper in the alum building opposite......"

It turned out to be a business competition, and Li Ce suddenly realized.

The other diners next to him all looked sideways at this scene, and Li Ce was afraid of disturbing the others, so he waved his hand at the three of them: "Get out." ”

"Yes, yes......" The three of them fled in confusion.

"It's that horse fortune again!" Yu Xian'er's face was like frost and said angrily.

"What? It's him! Li Ce was taken aback.

"Bai Alum Lou is not far from the diagonal opposite, that is Ma Fucai's industry, since my mother and I moved to Feng Lou, then Ma Fucai bought Bai Alum Building, specifically against us, some time ago also threatened diners not to come to us to eat, these two days and sent ruffians to make trouble, it is really hateful!" Yu Xian'er rarely saw that she was really angry, and her pretty face was flushed with anger. She already hated Ma Fucai very much, and at this time, after knowing that he was making trouble, she remembered that he had kidnapped herself and killed her father to death, and she couldn't help but want to kill him to relieve her hatred.

"If you don't fight a snake, you won't die, and there will be endless troubles." Li Ce frowned and said to himself, this Ma father and son are like a dog skin plaster, they can't be shaken off no matter how they stick it, whether it is modern or ancient, there is always such a kind of person, arrogant and domineering, and unscrupulous.

From the beginning, Marven Cheng couldn't get along with himself, and even almost killed himself, and he still didn't regret it last time, but because he was afraid of his identity, he didn't dare to take revenge openly, so he turned to secretly embarrass Xian'er's mother and son.

Now that Xian'er's father has passed away, leaving them orphans and widows, she is the only man she can rely on, and she must not let her beloved woman suffer a little more damage! Li Ce secretly swore an oath.

"The number of diners in the restaurant is decreasing day by day, and it seems that we are about to make ends meet." Yu Xian'er said worriedly.

"How can you not compete with him Alum Tower?" Li Ce asked.

"Bai Alum Lou invited the best chef on Yong'an Street, and Ma Fucai deliberately suppressed our Fenglou and secretly prevented diners from coming to eat. In addition, Ma Wencheng has a group of friends who are scholars, they get together to praise Bai Alum Building, and they do not forget to belittle us, so that there are fewer and fewer people who come to us, and his business in Bai Alum Building is becoming more and more prosperous. Yu Xian'er said with some helplessness, she had been settling accounts just now, just counting how much she had lost in the past few days.

"Oh, I see." The corners of Li Ce's mouth furled, and he already had an idea. In terms of publicity planning and marketing, even if your entire alum building is combined, it is not as good as a finger from my master, since you want to fight, then I will make a move with you.

Yu Xian'er saw Li Ce's confident smile, and said happily: "Why do you have an idea?" She has invisibly regarded Li Ce as the person she can rely on the most, and it seems that no matter what comes to him, there is always a solution, just like the last time he was in such a difficult situation, he can arrive in time to rescue himself, as long as he is there, he has nothing to fear.

Li Ce smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the kitchen to have a look." Although Yu Xian'er didn't know what he was going to do in the kitchen, she decided that he always had a way, so she happily pulled him to the back kitchen.

When he arrived in the back kitchen and said hello to the chef, Li Ce began to carefully examine the things in the kitchen. It was the first time he visited Da Song's kitchen, and he first saw what was there, and then he said that he was in his previous life, and he was also a good cook.

Well, there are things like millet, wheat, soybeans, as well as steamed buns and cakes, and on the other side of the shelf are vegetables, including cabbage, cucumbers, winter melons, spinach, green onions, ginger and garlic.

The raw materials are all ready, the most important thing is to look at the condiments, next to a big bowl of black things, Li Ce smelled it is sauce, another small jar, you don't need to look at it to know that it is vinegar, that sour smell, you can smell it from afar, next to it is sesame oil, and there is a big pot of bone broth. Then there are some condiments such as red dates, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and Sichuan pepper, and some powdered seasoning powders that should be ground by themselves.

Li Cezai took a closer look and found that there were two extremely important things missing, one is soy sauce, the other is chili, he knows that chili pepper is not a local product, but he doesn't know when it was introduced to China, look at this, there should be no chili pepper at this time, so what about soy sauce? Could that bowl of sauce be? Soy sauce is an indispensable condiment, especially for Shandong cuisine.

Li Ce briefly communicated with the cook and determined that the bowl of sauce was also made of soybeans, and the effect was the same as soy sauce, but Li Ce tasted it and found that the effect of the two was far from the same. He asked the cook to briefly introduce the recipe for each dish and meat, and he said a few names of dishes from time to time, and briefly described the method, and then asked the chef if he had heard of it, the chef sometimes nodded, sometimes at a loss, after more than half an hour, Li Ce finally figured out the catering situation of the Great Song Dynasty, he smiled with satisfaction, and said in his heart: It seems that I still have a lot of uses, master.

"There's no one in the store now, you tell the guys, close the store for a day, and start work tomorrow." Li Ce was too fairy, and said confidently.

was made a fuss by those few splashes just now, and the few remaining diners also hurriedly finished eating and left, and now it is really a crowd.

Yu Xian'er saw that he swore an oath, smiled happily, and ordered him to go down and close the door for rectification.

Yu Xian'er gathered everyone, there are four people in the store, the chef's surname is Yang, he has been in charge of Fenglou for more than ten years; Two kitchen chores, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhou. A shopkeeper, surnamed Chen, but because he is the second oldest in the family, everyone calls him Chen Er, plus Li Ce and Yu Xian'er, there are only six people in total.

"Everyone has also seen that our business has been a little cold recently, and this business is not good, and everyone's wages are less. This is like eating, only if there is more in the pot, everyone will scoop more into the bowl, so I hope everyone can work together to run the restaurant well, I guarantee that as long as you do what I say, our business will definitely be popular! At that time, everyone's salary will increase several times, and a few of you will be able to save your wife's own. Li Ce said later, pointing to the three young people in the store and smiling, he knew that this kind of relaxed and humorous way of talking can quickly close the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and make subordinates more willing to get close to him.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the three young people all grinned, Chen Er was the most alert, and he hurriedly said: "Everything is under your orders, uncle." He had already seen the relationship between Li Ce and Yu Xian'er, and saw that Li Ce had no frame and was very amiable, so he had the courage to call him uncle.

Yu Xian'er's face flushed, and she was about to reprimand Chen Er, but Li Ce hurriedly pulled her, and smiled at Chen Er: "Okay, when the time comes, recruit a few more runners, and I will promote you to an official." "Happy Chen Er is busy and has to thank you.

Lao Yang is over forty years old, he is a person who has experienced the rise and fall of glory and disgrace, he is a little skeptical of Li Ce's optimism, if you want to do a good business in a restaurant, the most important thing is to make the food delicious, so that there will be a steady stream of people coming. I've been cooking for a lifetime, it's this level, not too good, but it's not bad, if you want your business to get better, unless you can show a new skill, but cooking skills, people with unique skills have always been secret, even if the master teaches the apprentice, it is also a hidden hand, and he is to learn, then no one teaches it.

Li Ce saw that several young people were encouraged by himself, but the chef Lao Yang was a little sluggish, and he thought that he had no confidence in himself, so he showed them first. He has just asked and understood, many cuisines have not appeared at this time, such as braised pork, which was invented by Su Dongpo, and mutton shabu, there are many ways to fry and cook mutton now, but there is no shabu to eat, that is to say, now the hot pot has not appeared at all (in fact, it began to appear in the Yuan Dynasty), and there is no mutton soup, it's not that everyone doesn't know that mutton can be eaten like this, but the smell is too big and too unpalatable.

Li Ce knew that the reason why no one ate the mutton cooked at this time was because of the lack of condiments - "five-spice powder" or "pepper"! Thinking of the mutton restaurants everywhere in the future, the main thing is the soup dish, a bowl of mutton soup, add a spoonful of pepper, oh, it's really refreshing!
