Chapter 168: Last Chance
The latest news, the first round of the competition to get the most silver two for a cloud of loose hands, with a hand of four seas and mountains to get a total of 1,400 taels of silver. The treasures of the four seas and mountains are nothing more than a soup made of various mushrooms, which is extremely delicious and conservatively praised. Because of its mysterious identity, it is even more respected, beating the four major restaurants and the famous private chefs in the capital.
But this is not what Xia Shang and the others care about, what he cares about is how much silver is there for fifty?
Many people are concerned about how much silver there is in the fiftieth place, so the standard of the fiftieth place has been stared at.
The silver in the fiftieth place has risen from ten taels at the beginning to three hundred and seventy-eight taels now, and this one hundred and seventy-eight taels has been stuck for a long time, and it is said that at least one hundred contestants have one hundred and seventy-eight taels of silver.
In the heavy snow, the sky is getting dark, and the sunset is the end of the first round of the competition. There is less than an hour left!
The fierce competition was far beyond Xia Shang's imagination, and the amount of silver obtained by Yunshui Pavilion so far was far from the fifty, so it could be said that it was difficult to see an opportunity.
Although the surrounding cooks gave up their own competition and volunteered to help Yunshui Pavilion deal with haggis, the reality still made people feel powerless.
Can this task be completed by earning more than 100 taels of silver in an hour?
In the cold and snowy day, Xu Yuan still had fine beads of sweat on her cheeks, many of which had become ice crystals hanging on the scattered hair. Xu Yuan was very aggrieved, she was desperate when she heard the standard of fifty at this time, the gap was too big, and even she was a little unconfident. But seeing the meticulous Xia Shang on the side, it was difficult for him to say frustrating words.
The freshly boiled soup was not enough, but time could not wait, Xia Shang handed the pot to Xu Yuan: "Boiled haggis, medium-cooked, the idea is that each part should be distinguished, the sheep's heart, liver, sheep's tripe, as well as scalp meat and sheep's tongue, must be carefully distinguished." ”
At this moment, a familiar voice appeared in my ears.
"Xianggong, the chili noodles you asked for are here."
"Lolo?! You...... What are you doing here? ”
Looking at the lady who suddenly appeared in front of him, Xia Shang was a little surprised.
Li Luo was wearing heavy cotton clothes, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, but his thin little face was also red from the cold.
"You girl!" couldn't help but say, he pulled Li Luo in front of him and rubbed her reddened pretty face fiercely.
Li Luo was rubbed and frowned, and took out a gown from his arms: "Xianggong, the concubine brought you a dress by the way." ”
"Hey! You, you! What can I have as a big man? Stand in a crowded place, it's warmer. ”
The Fang family brothers who followed behind Li Luo, he carried a bag of chili noodles and waited for Xia Shang's orders.
Chili noodles are used to make red oil, and after having chili peppers, Xia Shang hurriedly picked up the oil pot and poured half a pot of oil.
The red oil chili pepper was ready, and the Fang family brothers were ready to accompany Li Luo back. Xia Shang looked at Fang Buyu, then at the buckets of copper coins in front of him, and with a flash of inspiration in his mind, he called Fang Buyu to his side and said something.
Fang Buyu's eyes widened more and more, and finally looked at Xia Shang incredulously, and said aggrievedly: "Shopkeeper, is this okay?" Nothing really will happen, right? ”
"What doesn't work? If you are told to do it, you will do it! Just go! ”
"Uh-oh." Fang Buyu had a bitter face, turning around like a wronged resentful woman three times in one step, who knew that he didn't take two steps before he tripped over the wooden barrel containing copper coins on the periphery.
Before, Xia Shang deliberately stacked the wooden barrels on top of each other in order to give the guests a sense of shock, piling them up into a small mountain, but now he was tripped by Fang Buyu, all the wooden barrels were scattered, and countless copper plates smashed on Fang Buyu's body like a waterfall. Fang Buyu fell to the ground unsteadily under his feet, and the copper coins that followed instantly submerged him.
The sudden episode plunged the neighborhood into chaos, and when everyone was still sluggish, Xia Shang had already taken the lead in shouting: "Someone is dead!" ”
Killed.
The three words that were extremely sensitive anywhere immediately followed and shouted, and the surrounding officers and soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, took Fang Buyu out of the pile of copper coins, and shook his shoulder: "Hey! Feed! Can you hear the talk? ”
No response.
Fang wanted to say that when he saw his brother like this, he was suddenly anxious, and was about to step forward when he was pulled by Xia Shang.
"The Shopkeeper's ......"
As he spoke, Fang wanted to say that he saw Xia Shang winking at him strangely......
"Quick! Someone dragged him to see the doctor! Xia Shang shouted again.
Now no one thinks about it, whether he is dead or not, he has to go to the doctor, and Fang Buyu was quickly carried away.
Li Luo stayed, shared the bed for many days, and finally got to know Xia Shang a little, and he knew that it was Xianggong's ghost idea by looking at Xianggong's eyes, but he couldn't think of any deep meaning for a while.
The person was carried away, but what happened just now was passed on by the people, especially the first sentence "out of the dead" had a great impact on the whole thing, and it was passed on and passed on, and when it reached the ears of others, it became that the copper coins on the stall of Yunshui Pavilion were so many that they crushed people to death.
It doesn't matter if there are dead people or not, the key is to know how many copper coins it takes to crush people to death?
Topical appeal, and many cooks either sold out of food or changed their taste due to the cold, the attraction of food to people gradually decreased, and driven by curiosity, the flow of people began to approach Mingde Gate.
"The guests are coming, this is our last chance!" Xia Shang believes that the topics he creates can attract many people, and it depends on whether he can catch up now!
Xu Yuan glanced at Xia Shang and didn't ask much, and the haggis cooked in the thick soup was placed on the cutting board.
Xia Shang holds a knife, slices quickly, and must go all out when every second counts.
The knife seems to have eyes, only the shadow of the knife flickers when it rises and falls, and the slices of meat float up and fall again like butterflies.
The superb knife work not only stunned the people, but also made the surrounding cooks dumbfounded.
"Even a deputy is so powerful?"
"No, how do I feel that this deputy is better than the chef?"
Xia Shang ignored the questions of the people around him, but Li Luo's departure made him stop: "Luo Luo, where are you going?" ”
Li Luo smiled back and pointed to the opposite side: "That thing is so fragrant, I want to taste it." ”
That thing?
Roasted sweet potatoes?!
Li Luo fell in love with the roasted sweet potato that no one had cared about on the other side.
Many people heard Li Luo's words, and everyone who heard them was puzzled, thinking that someone really eats baked sweet potatoes on this occasion? The problem still costs fifty dollars?
Under the gaze of a few eyes, Li Luo bought a roasted sweet potato, paid fifty yuan, turned around and took a bite, turned around, and found another tael of silver!
The onlookers were in an uproar, and someone gave a tael of silver to roast sweet potatoes?
Xia Shang directly put the knife on the cutting board and beckoned to Li Luo.
I felt that the hot person who baked sweet potatoes opposite was weird, but I didn't expect Li Luo to give her a tael of silver. This girl has been raised by Xia Shang with a tricky taste, and she can't look down on ordinary things, and she definitely gives one or two silver because she has a lot of money, but because she loves roasted sweet potatoes.
Xia Shang now wants to know what is the door of the sweet potato?
