Chapter 17 Tempting Dong Fatman
Business was in a slump in the tavern, and there were only two customers at one table, and it seemed that they were about to settle the bill and leave, and the shopkeeper was crawling on the counter and dozing off.
Hearing Lin Xifeng's footsteps, the shopkeeper opened his eyes and glanced at the former, and he was much more energetic at the moment, and laughed and teased: "Why is Lin Gongzi here!" What a rarity! ”
The shopkeeper is Dong Fatzi who won the tavern away from Lin Xifeng, the reason why he is called this nickname is not because he is fat, but because his full name is Dong Pang, and over time, everyone calls him Dong Fat, and he himself is quite thin.
"Hehe, Dong Fatty, are you still running this tavern? I'm afraid I can't make ends meet, right? Lin Xifeng put the bamboo basket at the door, walked to the counter, pressed his arms on it and said with a smile.
"This tavern is already my fat man, and it has nothing to do with you, so I can't help you wait so much anymore." Dong Pang pursed his lips, picked up a cup of tea on the counter and took a sip.
"Of course I understand that, but I want to redeem this tavern, you can make a price!" Lin Xifeng didn't ask Dong Pang if he was willing to transfer the tavern, but directly asked him to make a price, just like some businessmen, they don't ask you if you buy it, but ask you how much you buy.
Dong Pang was a little surprised, the business of this tavern was so depressed, he didn't expect Lin Xifeng to be willing to redeem it, he asked many people in the past, and none of them were willing to take over the tavern, but he didn't make a decision immediately, scratched his ears and cheeks for a while and said, "Lin Gongzi go back first!" Let me think again and give you an answer tomorrow. ”
As Lin Xifeng said, this tavern is already beyond its means, Dong Pang also knows that his cooking skills are average, not the material for this business, and he may lose all his money over time, it is better to make a move early and exchange some pocket money, anyway, the tavern was won by him, and he has no capital, just let him return the tavern to Lin Xifeng, and he always feels a little awkward in his heart.
"So be it! I will stay here again tomorrow. Lin Xifeng saw Dong Pang's face and knew that this matter was reliable, and he was not in a hurry, he turned around and walked to the door and left with a bamboo basket.
Less than a minute after Lin Xifeng left, Cheng Bocheng shrank his head and entered the tavern, rushed to Dong Pang and asked, "Dong Fatty, what did Lin Xifeng do here just now?" ”
"Him! He wants to redeem this tavern, how much do you think I should pay? Dong Pang saw that it was Cheng Bocheng, a fox friend and dog friend, so he hurriedly asked.
"You fat man, you're really going to give him back the tavern!" Cheng Bocheng raised his hand and patted Dong Pang's head, and said angrily, Lin Xifeng had just made him ugly, which naturally made him hate it tightly.
"So what? If this tavern continues to open like this, it will definitely have to close its doors. Dong Pang brushed Cheng Bocheng's arm away and snorted.
"Then sell me the tavern, can I still afford it?"
"You want to buy it too?" Dong Fatzi's face showed a strange look, the tavern that no one was willing to take over in the past, why is it so sought-after today, for a moment, Dong Pang wondered if this tavern had any good prospects, and after slapping himself back to reality, Dong Pang said with a dry face: "I think you are sick, right?" Even if you don't even have the same cooking skills as me, you dare to take over the tavern? ”
"What do you care about so much! You just say sell me or sell him! Cheng Bocheng knocked on the counter and asked anxiously.
"Hmm...... Hmm......" Dong Pang tilted his head and muttered for a while, before he suddenly smiled treacherously: "It depends on which of you or him has a higher price." ”
"You kid still dare to play tricks with me, we grew up wearing open crotch pants since we were children, and now we actually calculate me!" Cheng Bocheng frowned, his face unhappy.
Dong Pang rolled his eyes: "Lin Xifeng and I also grew up wearing open crotch pants together. ”
"......" Cheng Bocheng's eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he pointed to Dong Pang's head and said, "You kid, tell me how much Lin Xifeng paid, I must be taller than him." ”
"He's not coming until tomorrow morning, so come there! When the time comes, it depends on which of you two has the most money, and I will transfer it to whomever I want. Dong Pang said with a smile, looking like a profiteer.
Seeing his villainous appearance, Cheng Bocheng was even more angry, waved his sleeves, snorted lightly, and stepped out of the tavern quickly.
Lin Xifeng, who returned to the Lin Mansion, had an extra porcelain cup, some vegetables and an old hen in his hand, which he bought at the market, and planned to stew chicken soup to replenish Liu Lian'er's body.
After walking into the side room, seeing that Liu Lian'er was still sleeping soundly, Lin Xifeng relieved her heart, she was afraid that she would sleep until evening.
Lin Xifeng gently tucked the horns again, then left the side room and took the old hen to the well to slaughter.
In the afternoon, the old hen who died was dried for three hours, and Lin Xifeng began to pluck the chicken feathers, and then removed the chicken head and feet, and chopped the chicken body into pieces, leaving only the chicken thighs intact, ready to make up for the willow curtain stew fresh chicken soup.
Lin Xifeng first boiled the water, then poured the chicken pieces into the pot, and after boiling for four or five minutes, he took out the chicken pieces and washed them again with clean water.
This old hen was obviously not something he and Liu Lian'er could eat in one meal, so after cleaning the chicken, Lin Xifeng just poured a small half of the chicken into the pot, put various appropriate seasonings in the pot, and then poured a little rice wine into the pot.
Cover the pot, press it with green bricks, and then squat on the edge of the pot kiln, re-lit the fire, Lin Xifeng first burned the fire very strongly, until the boiling water boiled for more than ten minutes, the fire was reduced, there was no pressure cooker here, and Lin Xifeng could only control the fire by himself.
Although the time to burn the fire was a little boring, perhaps because he thought that Liu Lian'er could drink fresh chicken soup when he woke up, Lin Xifeng did not feel bored, but looked forward to the chicken soup coming out of the pot, and the stupid girl lying in the side room had unconsciously lived in his heart in such a short time.
After simmering on a warm fire for two hours, Lin Xifeng felt that it was almost there, so he took the bricks away, lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly, the chicken soup was full of umami and unusually fragrant, scattered in this small room, so that Lin Xifeng's lower abdomen couldn't help but beat a few 'grunts'.
Lin Xifeng resisted the urge to pick up the chicken leg and nibble violently, scattered some salt in the pot, and then pressed the lid back on, and continued to simmer over a warm fire, more than ten minutes later, Lin Xifeng put out the fire, and quickly ran out of the room to the well to wash rice, he was afraid that he couldn't help but lift the lid of the pot and gnaw on the chicken legs, but if the chicken soup is out of the pot now, the taste and nutrition will not be the best.
After the rice was cleaned, Lin Xifeng made another small pot of fire, poured in an appropriate amount of water, and then poured all the rice into it, covered the pot, and lit a fire to cook rice.
After everything was done, Lin Xifeng raised his head, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the sun had already set.
