Chapter XVIII Each Performs His Duties
In the early morning of the next day, Qinghe came to serve Yuanhang to wash, and Yuanhang looked bitter.
"Qinghe, if you're not by my side, I can't sleep well, or you can discuss leaving the autumn today and change it back." Yuanhang's eyes were full of pleading.
Qinghe said while dressing Yuanhang: "You hold on, Liqiu is naturally not used to leaving her parents for the first time, I'll accompany her for a few days." "Qinghe is very understanding.
"Alas! Well, I'll hold on a little longer. Yuanhang shook his head helplessly. Seeing Qinghe say this, he had no choice but to give up and ask him to go to Liqiu to discuss, but he really didn't have the guts.
"Is Ye Gongzi here?" A bold voice came from outside the door.
"Who's so early? I'll go out and have a look. "Voyage out of the courtyard and open the gate.
"Yo, Master Guan, you're too early, how did you find it." Yuanhang hurriedly welcomed Master Guan into the courtyard.
"Haha, it's always bad to be late on the first day." Master Guan smiled and strode into the courtyard.
"This way, please." Yuanhang took Master Guan to the kitchen and said, "If you see what else you need, just talk, and I'll buy it for someone else." ”
"Yes, that's good. It's just that I need a helper, chopping vegetables, and lighting the fire I can't do myself. "Master Guan looked around, although the place is smaller, after all, the owner gives a lot of wages, let's not be picky.
"Oh, I forgot." Yuanhang thought for a while and said: "Presumably, there must be a candidate for the master, so let's do it, the salary is two taels of silver, and you can find one by yourself." ”
"Okay, then I'll go find someone now." Master Guan is anxious, and he will leave with his legs raised after speaking.
As soon as Master Guan left, Father Chen walked in with three young people.
"Ye Gongzi, I brought you people, they are all loyal, honest and diligent, can you take a look?" Daddy Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, what's your name?"
"Chen Nian", "Chen Xiang" and "Chen Shi" replied.
"The name is good, easy to remember, and it is old." Voyage secretly praised, this father and mother are really serious.
"Daddy Chen, don't you know if you have greens there?" Yuanhang thinks it's better to find something you can trust.
"Yes, it's all home-grown, what do you want to eat?"
"It's not me who eats, it's for the kitchen. Then when you deliver fish every day, you will also send all kinds of vegetables, and I will save trouble by settling the bill together, and you will earn more when you are old. Yuanhang said happily.
"Okay, I'm only bringing fish today, and I'll bring you the greens later. I'll put the fish in the backyard first. After saying that, he took a few young men to carry the fish.
After Daddy Chen was done, he hurried home to prepare vegetables for Yuanhang, and Yuanhang instructed a few young people to move the tables and chairs to the main room and set them up. Master Guan also brought a young man back.
"Ye Gongzi, this is the little nephew, who has always been under me, and I also brought it. You can just call him Little Pipe. I haven't seen Ye Gongzi yet. Master Guan kicked his nephew in the ass.
Xiao Guanzi stepped forward and bowed: "Xiao Guanzi has seen Shopkeeper Ye. ”
"No courtesy, you will work hard with Master Guan in the future, and I will not treat you badly." Voyage for a moment.
Pointing to the room next to the kitchen, Yuanhang said, "This room is reserved for you to rest during the day, and those three guys will stay here at night." ”
As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the plaque was delivered. The plaque that is not too big is placed on the gate of the courtyard, and the four words of antique - Zhuge grilled fish.
When everything was done, Yuanhang called everyone together to introduce them one by one, and then sat down around the table.
"Now let's talk about it, what else do we need to prepare?" Yuanhang looked around and asked everyone.
"Ye Gongzi, I don't know whose wine store we use in our store?" Master Guan thought for a while and asked.
"Oh, I forgot about the wine, how can I do it without wine. Master Guan, you will contact you to transport the wine in a moment. Yuanhang patted his head and said. Fortunately, Master Guan reminded him, otherwise the guests would really replace the wine with tea.
"Then I'll divide the work." Yuanhang looked at it and said: "Qinghe is responsible for settling accounts and collecting money, Master Guan is responsible for cooking, and Xiaoguan is responsible for cutting vegetables and lighting the fire." Liqiu is in charge of grilling fish, aging, and Chen Xiangliang is responsible for serving dishes and cleaning. Chen Shi is in charge of killing fish, and I am in charge of welcoming and sending off guests, and I am on top of where there are not enough people. Look, if only you could do that. At noon, Master Guan cooks a good dish on the table, so let's celebrate it in advance. After Yuanhang finished speaking, he took the lead and applauded.
Near noon, Daddy Chen brought the vegetables, and after the master brought the wine back, he went to prepare lunch, taking advantage of this time, Yuanhang took Liqiu and Chen Shi to the backyard and began to teach her how to grill fish.
"The fish should be cut from the back and cut out on the sides so that it will taste better. It is divided into two, with scales and bones removed, and heads and tails removed. "Chen Shi is very smart, and he learned it after one explanation on the voyage.
Yuanhang set up the oven and began to teach the autumn grilled fish. I haven't baked it myself, and I only do it according to my impression. After scrambling to finish grilling, I found that the fish had been burned.
"That's basically it, the main thing is to look at the heat, just put the ingredients, you can try it." The voyage wiped his sweat and retreated.
Li Qiu watched carefully from the side, although he had never roasted like this, but looking at Yuanhang's clumsy appearance, he had a question in his heart, he himself wouldn't know, do you want to teach me?
"Brother Ye, is this Zhuge grilled fish? Is it delicious when it's all mushy? Liqiu asked, picking up the black and sticky grilled fish.
"Naturally, this one doesn't work, so you have to practice more. The grilled fish is golden brown and is only delicious when it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Yuanhang looked at Chen Shi and ordered: "Continue to kill fish until you are finished baking Sister Qiu." ”
The food in the front yard was ready, and Yuanhang and everyone sat down in turn, only Liqiu was still practicing grilled fish and refused to come to eat. At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Wanyue walked in with Tang Ling and Yingyue.
"Wanyo, why are you here? Come and eat together. The voyage got up and stepped forward.
"No need, my father sent Tang Ling to help you, and I'll come with him to take a look." After looking at the small courtyard, she walked to the wing. Yuanhang followed him into the house.
"I grew up here, and I haven't been back for a long time." Wanyu looked at the tables and chairs in the room and bowed her head and said.
"No wonder ......," said Yuanhang, pretending to be mysterious.
"What's the wonder?" Wanyue looked back at the voyage.
"I slept in this room last night, no wonder it feels like the smell here is familiar, it turned out to be your room." Yuanhang smiled evilly and looked graceful.
Seeing Yuanhang smiling evilly, Wanyue knew that he was talking about what happened in his room that night. I don't feel red-faced.
"You're busy, I'll go back." Wanyu bowed her head and finished speaking, and was about to walk out.
"Graceful." Yuanhang reached out and grabbed her little hand. "I'm not in the house, you have to take care of yourself, don't be too tired."
When Wanyu heard this, tears flowed down her face. She knew that although Yuanhang only had one sentence, it was full of concern for herself.
"Well, you too, I'm waiting for the day when you become famous." Wanyo withdrew her hand, wiped her tears, smiled at Yuanhang and turned to go out.
Yuanhang knew what she meant by that day.
Walking back to the courtyard, I was about to send Wanyue away. I saw Liqiu running over excitedly with a plate.
"Brother Ye, come and see how I roasted this time?" Liqiu's forehead was full of beads of sweat, but he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
Before the voyage saw the fish, he smelled the aroma, and then saw that the fish was intact and golden, which made people have a great appetite.
"Is this Zhuge grilled fish? It smells so good. Wanyue smelled the smell and came over.
Yuanhang pulled Wanyo to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the fish. "Well, it's so fragrant, Liqiu, it's good." He picked up another piece of fish meat and sent it to Wanyue's mouth.
Wanyu turned her head away, and her little face was flushed and she didn't speak.
"Brother Ye, when will my father send the fish?" Liqiu asked, standing behind Yuanhang.
"I'll be there tomorrow by noon." Yuanhang waved for everyone to taste the grilled fish.
"It should be too late, inside the pool...... There are only two fish left. Li Qiu lowered his head and peeked at the voyage.
"Huh? What about fish? You've roasted them all. Yuanhang looked at Liqiu in surprise. That's a half-pond fish, you loser.
"Well, I want to bake it." Like a child who admits his mistakes, he doesn't dare to look up at the voyage. Seeing that Liqiu was like that, Yuanhang knew that he was abrupt just now.
"It's okay, as long as you bake a good fish, it's your credit, Liqiu, go and bake those two too." Yuanhang hurriedly pulled back the conversation.
"Well, I'll go." After saying that, he turned around and ran to the backyard.
"Tang Ling, you should hurry up and buy fish in a while, but don't open a fish tomorrow." Seeing that Liqiu was walking away, Yuanhang was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered Tang Ling.
"Hehe, don't worry." Wanyue looked at Yuanhang's anxious appearance and laughed. said: "It's really not enough, there are still a lot of fish in the pond in the backyard of the Tang Mansion to be brought to you first." ”
"Hehe, it's better to be polite." Voyage hippie smiling smiling slap road.
"I'm not serious enough to be a shopkeeper." Wanyo glanced at him and continued to eat fish.
After a while, Liqiu brought two more fish, all of them were grilled fragrantly, and it seemed that he had learned Zhuge to grill fish.
Yuanhang stood up with a wine glass and said to everyone: "Thank you for your concerted efforts, now we are all ready, just waiting for the door to open tomorrow." Come, let's raise a glass and drink together, and wish our small shop a prosperous business and a prosperous future. ”
The small courtyard was full of joy, and the aroma of grilled fish had drifted away with the breeze.
