After a few delicately arranged appetizing pickles such as sugar and garlic, a steaming large copper hot pot was served with a smell of charcoal, followed by not only looking fresh and tender, but also cut by the skilled chefs in the back hall like a thin layer of paper, like pieces of silk handkerchiefs neatly stacked on a large plate of mutton slices, and placed in front of the guests.
It's really good, I haven't stretched out my chopsticks yet, just by looking at it, Lin Haifeng can't help but admire it in his heart. When he finished tasting the first bite, even he didn't expect that Fan Wenrui and Xue Jiang, the ghosts and elves, would actually make this "Donglai Shun Restaurant" that was not inferior to the "Yufeng Lou Shabu Meat Workshop" in less than two years.
"Director, madam, eat more. I am not satisfied with you and said, if we talk about the mutton here, it is definitely the only one in the capital, "In the end, the shopkeeper of the restaurant who has seen a lot of the world is familiar with each other, and Yang Xiaoli will not have so many constraints as before." When she diligently persuaded the two distinguished guests to enjoy the taste, she couldn't help but have a little more business experience in her words, "The ones we use in our store are all small-tailed black-headed sheep, and the maximum breeding time will not exceed one and a half to two years, and they are still ...... before this Hehe, the guys in the store privately nicknamed this kind of sheep 'eunuch sheep'......"
"Eunuch...... Sheep? Liu Xianghe obviously didn't figure it out, and looked at the capable female shopkeeper next to him in confusion.
"Hahaha......" Lin Haifeng looked at his wife's stupid look, and then looked at Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang, who couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, and also laughed.
Yang Xiaoli's face flushed, she glanced at her husband fiercely, quickly leaned over again, and after muttering a few words in a low voice to Mrs. Lin's ear, two blushes suddenly flew on Liu Xianghe's pale face.
"This ...... This is a little too cruel, isn't it......" Liu Xianghe looked at the tender slices of meat floating in the boiling pot, and the chopsticks in his hand couldn't help but start to hesitate.
"Yo...... My madam, if you are pitiful for everything, then we will all starve to death," Yang Xiaoli stretched out her hand, picked up a piece of chopsticks and meat fiercely, and put it in the bowl of Mrs. Lin, who was softer than the Bodhisattva, and giggled, "Pigs, cows, and sheep are not born to be slaughtered?" So, as long as we eat deliciously, there won't be so much other attention. Besides, if we hadn't come up with these good ideas, it wouldn't have been able to sell them for such a good price, would you, ma'am? ”
Liu Xianghe seemed to understand what the shopkeeper Yang said, but when Lin Haifeng, Xue Jiang, and Zhang Zuguang heard it, they had a different feeling. After the three of them laughed at each other, Xue Jiang glanced at Yang Xiaoli and praised Lin Haifeng, "If you want to talk about the lady of Brother Zhang, it is really not an idle character." If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been able to think of these ideas, and Yufeng Building probably wouldn't have the kind of scenery scene that was once a smash hit. You also saw it at the gate just now, Mrs. Sister-in-law, that is very capable. Hehe, the plaque is the handwriting of the king of Yizheng, and the selection and transportation of all the meat sheep are entrusted by the king of Seng Lingqin to assist the military and soldiers......"
"Come on, come on, big shopkeeper, don't hurt me," Yang Xiaoli was praised by Xue Jiang a little unbearable, "To be honest, if people don't look at the face of our big shopkeeper, where will they take such care of a stupid woman like me who doesn't know a few big words." If you want to say that you are capable, you have to say that the shopkeeper Fan Da who supports us behind our backs is. And your Xue Da shopkeeper is not a fuel-efficient lamp. We can't open the pot in this shop, you don't even care, you just think about the big business in the imperial city. When she said this, she couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.
"I said at home, don't be so good with your mouth, okay?" Zhang Zuguang glanced at his daughter-in-law, and looked at Lin Haifeng and Xue Jiang with an embarrassed smile.
"Hahaha......" Yang Xiaoli's words made Xue Jiang laugh happily, and he squeezed his eyes at Yang Xiaoli, "It's all big business that makes money there, of course you have to bite Qingshan and not let go." After speaking, he turned to Lin Haifeng with a smile, "We do business now, just like we treat that 'eunuch sheep', as long as we eat smoothly and eat happily, it doesn't matter who he is." ”
Lin Haifeng knew what Xue Jiang was referring to. He had already heard that Yixin was unscrupulous in order to rectify the old enemies in the past, and although he killed all those who should be killed, he would naturally not delay in making money. And this time, taking the opportunity to renovate the capital, Yixin, who was a secret shareholder of Angel Firm, closed his eyes and handed over all the projects to Angel Firm, allowing Angel Firm to carry a fast knife and dance up and down on the former Qing princes and nobles and court officials in the capital who had to bear the cost of repair.
Listening to Xue Jiang's words at this time, he was smiling in his heart, but his face looked very peaceful, and he also said something that made people take a lot of effort to figure it out, "The light has been restored, and a new world where the people are the masters of the country has been born." The greatest wish of the Celestial Empire government is to lead the people of the whole world to live a happy and good life together. Therefore, in business, as long as you keep your integrity, it is natural for you to make money. However, chaos is not good, and chaos will be punished sooner or later. ”
Director Lin's words, although Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang listened to it, although it was difficult to understand the deep meaning for a while, there was no more abnormality. But when Yang Xiaoli heard this, she felt a little chilly. In her opinion, the fact that this director of the Living Immortal Lin can deign to her shop must be a repetition of the old tricks of Fan and Xue, the two big shopkeepers, who used their fists and feet to deal with the queen mother and the king of parliament in the palace, and seek to continue to perform the style of "tumbler" in the current new dynasty. Therefore, Director Lin's "chaos is not good, chaos will be retributioned sooner or later" after the turning point just now, she can't help but think about it more.
It seems that a meal can't pull people into the water at all, so I don't know how much it will cost the big shopkeepers in the future to hold this thick leg! Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoli couldn't help but glance at her husband. To tell the truth, when the two of them were at home, she reminded her husband tactfully that since they were all friends, they should not watch their friends go to the edge of the cliff without reaching out to pull a handful. In the past, the collection and sale of treasure money, military food adulteration, etc., not to mention for the time being, now taking advantage of the control of the imperial city, the Angel trading house, which is responsible for the supply of food, vegetables and other necessities in the capital, is in the dark heart on the one hand to raise prices, and on the other hand to lower the prices in the pawn shop, forcing those Manchurians in the imperial city who have no other livelihood to have to endure the pain of cutting their love in order to make a living. It is said that the cost of this renovation in the capital is even higher, so that after listening to it, the tongue sticks out and cannot be retracted. Where is this legitimate business, it is just the same as the open robbery and robbery of Jiangyang thieves. If this goes on for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that one day it will cause a disaster.
But her husband doesn't seem to pay much attention to her words, every time he talks about this, her husband always seems a little impatient, "People do other people's business, since it is business, it can't be slapped in the face, it is Zhou Yu who beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer." I am the pharmacy big check cabinet, you can give others a good look at the store, eat and drink without worrying about it. Besides, people have their own doorways, and if they dare to do it, they are not afraid of committing crimes. ”
Don't be afraid, hum, then let's go and see! Seeing her husband just lowering his head and eating meat as if he hadn't eaten anything good in his eight lives, Yang Xiaoli was beating a drum in her heart.
Over there, Lin Haifeng at this time had already put on a smiling face again, he was addicted to smoking, but the amount of alcohol was limited, he didn't plan to drink today, but under the repeated persuasion of Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang, he finally picked up the wine glass carefully polished by the emerald green jasper in front of him. Although the amount of wine is not large, in the past few years, sitting in his position, good wine has not been less touched, so he still has a good feeling for wine.
Now, as soon as he tasted the wine in the glass, he noticed that it had a strong taste. After another sip, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Xue Jiang, "Hehe, isn't it already that wine is more expensive than gold, why, your shopkeeper Xue still has such a good wine in secret?" Wouldn't it have come from somewhere? ”
Xue Jiang smiled, but before he could speak, he was preempted by Yang Xiaoli, "Director, this wine is brewed by us ourselves." ”
"Oh, hehe, it's not easy, you also opened your own winery?" Lin Haifeng looked at Yang Xiaoli with interest, and then at Xue Jiang and Zhang Zuguang.
Xue Jiang smiled, "I won't tell you, we knew in advance that there would be a shortage of alcohol, so ...... So...... Hey...... Therefore, we used some means to get rid of all the 'yako (brewing workshops) around the capital. After some comparison, several restaurants in the southwest, such as 'Longquan Burning Pot' and 'Yiheyong Burning Pot', felt the best wine quality, and finally all of them followed their methods to produce this kind of 'Erguotou Liquor'. ”
"Erguotou ......" Lin Haifeng nodded, and his thoughts suddenly drifted back to his own era. I don't know if my sick mother is still holding on, looking forward to the day when she will come back suddenly. Alas, now that it's at the doorstep, it's ......
He suddenly remembered that when his grandfather was still alive, he once said that their family seemed to have moved from Wendeng in Shandong to the vicinity of Liangxiang in Beijing during the Daoguang period, and the ancestors seemed to make a living from the "small pot" of winemaking. I wonder if the ancestors will be in Angel's distillery now?
