Chapter 18: Little Greens Have Spring (3)

Tang Lu ate very slowly, because this was Young Master Tang Xiu's deliberate order that he would not dare to disobey, otherwise, according to Tang Lu's own temperament, when he encountered such a delicious and delicious thing, how could he bear to chew and swallow slowly little by little, isn't this a blind delay?

As for the intoxicated and satisfied look of joy on his face, it was completely a natural manifestation of Tang Lu's own heart.

Tang Lu was born poor, and even worked as a beggar for two years, but since he entered the Tang Mansion, in the past few years, following Tang Xiu, the ruined young master, Tang Lu has eaten almost all the large and small restaurants in Taiyuan Mansion, and the so-called delicacies He has not never seen, the white rice vegetarian in Dingxianglou, the roast chicken, roast duck and roast lamb leg in Changxiang Pavilion, stained with Tang Xiu's light, Tang Lu has eaten more than once.

But like today, an ordinary boiled vegetable, not even a grain of salt, can make him eat a little floating, and he is full of joy when he eats it, this is the first time.

This is the real delicacy!

Compared with this boiled small green vegetable, the white rice vegetarian in Dingxianglou and the meat and meat in Changxiangge are all scum!

By now, Tang Lu began to understand a little why their young master would say that tonight was the first step for their Tang Mansion to rise again.

With such delicious vegetables in hand, why worry about the Tang Mansion not prospering?

There were still a few vegetable leaves tumbling in the casserole, but Tang Xiu had no intention of fishing them out, just quietly watched them tumble in the casserole over and over again, slowly becoming soft, rotten, and finally all merged into boiling water and turned into a thick soup.

The soup is boiling, and the aroma of the greens in the casserole becomes stronger.

"Goo-dong!" "Goo-dong!" "Goo-dong!"

Smelling the tempting aroma of the dish and looking at Tang Lu's intoxicated expression, many people couldn't help it anymore, and the sound of saliva overflowed again.

Inside the fragrant building, some diners who don't know the reason have begun to slap the table and scold their mothers: Is Lao Tzu out of money or what? Is there something good that you don't give to you? Why do you look down on you?

The guys in the store didn't know what was going on, and when they saw the customer slapping the table, they could only whisper to the side. It's just that when there are more and more guests slapping the table, and the scene in the restaurant is about to get out of control, these guys have no choice but to go in and ask the shopkeeper to come out and explain.

At this time, Sun Mancang, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, had already found the source of the incident and stood beside Tang Xiu and Tang Lu's master and servant.

Tang Xiu stirred the vegetable soup in the casserole for a while, and every time he stirred, a richer aroma diffused in all directions.

Tang Lu was still strictly following Tang Xiu's instructions, tasting the vegetable leaves in the dish little by little, because the time taken out was too long, the green vegetables in the dish had lost half of the heat, but Tang Lu was still intoxicated.

The master and servant were busy with their own affairs, and they turned a blind eye to Sun Mancang, the big shopkeeper of the fragrant building, and no one paid any attention to him.

Tang Xiu and the others ignored him, but Sun Mancang couldn't wait here, the sound of the guests scolding his mother in the restaurant behind him was endless, and the shopkeepers and even the owners of several other hotels not far from Xiangmanlou had begun to appear and kept pouring to Tang Xiu.

Glancing at the bamboo basket beside Tang Xiu and the remaining small green vegetables in the basket, Sun Mancang took the initiative to step forward with a smile on his face and took the lead in saying to Tang Xiu: "Tang Gongzi, do you still remember the old decay?" ”

Tang Xiu raised his head when he heard the sound, glanced at Sun Mancang, and saw Sun Mancang's old face standing in front of him with a smile like a chrysanthemum, and lowered his head without saying a word, and then stirred the soup and water in the casserole.

"Oh, it's rude, Tang Gongzi forgive me!"

Seeing that Tang Xiu didn't take care of himself, Sun Mancang was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of those small greens in Tang Xiu's basket, Sun Mancang didn't care much.

Looking down at Tang Xiu, then turning around and looking at himself, Sun Mancang suddenly realized, and while making amends to Tang Xiu, he slowly squatted down and sat beside Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, just now he had already learned the identity of the old man in front of him from Tang Lu's mouth, the reason why he didn't pay attention to him, in addition to hanging his taste again, more importantly, Tang Xiu didn't like to talk to people with his head up.

Obviously, most of the people who can be the head of a store are human spirits, and seeing Sun Mancang sitting directly on the ground without any scruples, smiling shy and close to himself, Tang Xiu knew that this old man's face was not ordinarily thick.

Tang Xiu grabbed a handful of small green cabbage leaves from the bamboo basket and put them in the pot, pressed them down with chopsticks, and asked Sun Mancang in a low voice, "I don't know what advice the shopkeeper Sun has?" ”

"Tang Gongzi's words are a bit hypocritical." Sun Mancang looked at Tang Xiu and the green vegetables in the pot with a smile, stretched out his tongue and pursed his lips, and said, "You are in front of our Xiangmanlou, this is a fire and cooking, isn't it just to let Xiao Lao'er come out of it?" ”

"In a word!" Sun Mancang got straight to the point: "Since Tang Gongzi gave up Dingxianglou and Changxiangge and directly chose our Xiangmanlou, Xiao Lao'er admits this feeling, as long as the price is not too outrageous, how many Tang Gongzi have and we want all Xiangmanlou!" ”

"Hehe......" Tang Xiu chuckled: "Tang likes to deal with smart people, and Shopkeeper Sun is undoubtedly a smart person." ”

"If it weren't for my Tang Xiu to break some notoriety in Taiyuan Mansion before, so that many restaurant shopkeepers turned a blind eye to Tang, Tang would never have made such a decision, Shopkeeper Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Mancang laughed dryly twice, and said softly: "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" If there was anything wrong with the guys in our shop before, the old man would make amends to Tang Gongzi for them here. ”

What if he knew from the beginning that Tang Xiu was here to sell vegetables, and he was still selling this kind of peerless delicacy that was almost rebellious, and he would be turned away if he was sick in the head?

"Shopkeeper Sun is serious, what Tang said is not Xiangmanlou, otherwise why would I sit here and talk to Shopkeeper Sun now?"

"As for the pricing of this thing, it's not in a hurry." As he spoke, Tang Xiu stretched out his hand to take the plate in Tang Lu's hand, scooped up some of the green vegetables that had just been put down from the pot and slowly handed them to Sun Mancang, and said softly, "How about Shopkeeper Sun taste the taste first?" ”

"In this way, you're welcome!"

Looking at the green vegetables exuding a charming aroma in the plate, Sun Mancang's throat swayed up and down, stretched out his hands to take the chopsticks and saucers, picked up a vegetable leaf and put it in his mouth.

The mellow aroma of the dish exploded in his tongue in an instant, and Sun Mancang's thoughts "boomed" at this moment, and there was a brief pause in emptiness, thoughtless and inactive, floating like a fairy.

After a while, Sun Mancang woke up from the empty light, without saying a word, he directly handed the plate to his mouth, and hurriedly pulled all the remaining vegetables in the plate into his mouth, looking at the shelf, as if he was afraid that others would compete with him.

Seeing this, Tang Xiu's eyes were smiling: "Shopkeeper Sun, how is it?" How much do you think my green vegetables deserve to be worth? ”

"Delicious in the world, rare in the world! Personally, even if it is consistent, ten, hundred, or even more, the old decay will not feel excessive. Coming back from the deliciousness, Sun Mancang sighed loudly, and then changed his words and said softly to Tang Xiu: "But in business, no matter what, it is just the most ordinary small green vegetables, if Tang Gongzi's asking price is too high, I am afraid that few people in the entire Taiyuan Mansion can afford to eat it." ”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Sun, I'm not greedy." Tang Xiu directly stretched out three fingers, looked at Sun Mancang and said, "No matter what price your building will sell at in the future, I will only charge your building three hundred wen a catty, and before the summer, there is only a limited supply of twenty catties per day." ”

With a "plop", a piece of firewood that Tang Lu had just picked up in his hand fell to the ground, Tang Lu looked at their young master stupidly, three hundred wen a pound and said that he was not greedy, so will there be anyone in this world who is more greedy than you? It's just a little green, do you think it's gold?

And what Tang Lu didn't expect was Sun Mancang's reaction, this old man didn't even make a counteroffer, but directly frowned and said, "It's only twenty catties a day?" Isn't it a little less? ”

Suddenly, Tang Lu's head was dim, and the three views that he had cultivated for more than ten years faintly showed signs of collapse.
