Chapter 20: The Declining Aristocracy
Hearing that Han Fei was going to cook the dishes himself, several people in the store were surprised, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the shopkeeper didn't believe it when they saw Han Fei's companions, and they were even more suspicious.
Han Fei glanced at the expressions of several people, and scolded for a while, Nima, isn't it just a dish, what a big deal, master...... I really haven't done it yet. However, he still has confidence, and he has a huge number of recipes in the super system in his head, and he doesn't believe that he can't make a few dishes.
"Just a few dishes, little things!"
Han Fei's strong self-confidence, no matter whether others believe it or not, Jia Ming believes it anyway. He smiled happily and said, "I like to eat my eldest brother's food the most!" ”
Ahem, I don't think I've ever cooked. Han Fei's expression of blind worship of Jia Ming, his old face turned red, in fact, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, there was still a distance between the recipe and the practical operation, if he hadn't seen that Jia Ming was really hungry, he wouldn't have recommended himself.
Although the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the shopkeeper were suspicious, driven by curiosity, they still led Han Fei to the kitchen.
"This is the kitchen of your restaurant?"
Han Fei thought that he had come to the wrong place, it was hard to say that it was dirty and messy, the sewage was flowing sideways, and the smell was smoky.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant said embarrassedly: "The restaurant is not full of manpower, so that it is ......" Seeing this, he couldn't say it anymore.
Han Fei shook his head and walked straight into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there was an old man with gray hair, with a big bib tied to his body, sitting on a small stool, leaning on the stove and napping, when he heard someone coming in, he hurriedly got up and said, "You are looking for ...... Ah, shopkeeper, what are you doing here? ”
"Master Lin, the dish you made...... This boy wants to cook a few dishes himself! ”
"This boy wants to cook himself?" Master Lin stared at Han Fei as if he was looking at a monster, with a look of disbelief.
Han Fei glanced at the kitchen, his brows furrowed, this pot and pan are full of grease stains, how can you get rid of it? He suddenly saw the shopkeeper on the side, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the second brother's surname is called?" ”
"Lao Gongzi asked, the little one is called Wu Sanbao, you just call me Sanbao!"
"Three Guarantees......
Oh, that's a familiar name! By the way, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space is exactly this name. Han Fei glanced at Wu Sanbao, smiled secretly, and said, "Sanbao, do you want to learn to cook, have you ever cooked before?" ”
"Childe, the little one wants to learn to cook very much, and he knows a little bit, but ......"
If you want to learn, Han Fei said happily: "Then I'll guide you a few dishes on the spot, and take me to see what ingredients are available first!" ”
"Thank you, Childe, come with the little one!"
Han Fei followed Wu Sanbao to the storage room, and there were indeed a lot of ingredients in it, most of which were obviously many days old, and some of them had deteriorated and moldy. He endured the unpleasant smell and selected some fresh pork, winter bamboo shoots, green vegetables and tofu.
"Sanbao, I'll teach you four home-cooked side dishes, you will be in charge of the cooking, and I will explain to you the recipe of the dishes next to you."
When Wu Sanbao heard that he wanted to do it himself, he was very nervous, and stammered: "Childe, the little one...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do ......."
Han Fei said calmly: "It's okay, you just follow the steps I explained, only if you do it yourself, you can learn quickly, even if you are a little rusty the first time, it doesn't matter, just practice more in the future!" ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, Childe!"
Han Fei explained the recipe, Wu Sanbao operated it, and soon a dish was ready. Wu Sanbao looked at the back-to-the-pot meat on the plate, dumbfounded, and didn't seem to believe that this peculiar dish was made by him himself.
"Well, the color and fragrance are acceptable, and you need to practice diligently in the future!" Han Fei tasted it, commented on it in the tone of a master, and then said to a few people who were stunned next to him: "You can also taste it!" ”
"Big brother, it's so delicious!"
"It's the first time I've eaten so delicious!"
Jia Ming and the shopkeeper of the restaurant praised loudly one after another, and Wu Sanbao was even more excited, knelt in front of Han Fei with a snap, and said, "Son, please accept the little one as an apprentice!" ”
Apprentices? Han Fei had never thought about this problem, he hadn't settled down yet, so how could he talk about accepting apprentices?
"Sanbao, hurry up, this matter is ...... Let's go back and cook a braised winter bamboo shoots, home-cooked tofu, and green vegetable tofu soup! ”
The four dishes were brought back to the living room, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant Wu brought a jar of wine, and said gratefully: "The son does not hesitate to teach his nephew, this is the daughter red treasured by the small shop, and I am slightly grateful!" ”
"The shopkeeper is polite, everyone is hungry, let's just eat together!"
The shopkeeper Wu and the shopkeeper Wu Sanbao couldn't refuse, accepted Han Fei's invitation, and dined at the same table, and several people were full of praise for the new dishes.
"Childe, listen to your accent, it's also our Gaochun clan, I don't know what kind of livelihood I made when I entered the city this time?" Shopkeeper Wu was very interested in Han Fei's brilliant cooking skills, and asked from the side.
"Shopkeeper Wu, I live in the area of Youzi Mountain, and I originally came to take the county exam, but I missed this registration because I was seeing a doctor for others......"
"Ah, Childe turned out to be Doctor Han, and the little old man is so sloppy!"
Han Fei was taken aback by Shopkeeper Wu, stunned, and said curiously: "How does Shopkeeper Wu know Xiaoke?" ”
"The name of benevolence and righteousness that Doctor Han gave up the exam to save people has spread all over the county!"
Han Fei couldn't help but feel embarrassed, he couldn't take this exam because his filial piety was not yet over, but he didn't expect that by coincidence, he achieved the name of benevolence and righteousness.
"Shopkeeper Wu has won the award, Xiao Ke actually learned medical skills, and he should be the duty to save people!"
"Han Gongzi Rende, I don't know what Childe's plans are next?"
Han Fei sighed and said: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper Wu, the kid is also worried about this matter, there is no land at home, and there is nothing to do when he goes back, but if he stays in the county seat, he doesn't know what to do to make a living for a while!" ”
Shopkeeper Wu's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Master Han, if you don't think the restaurant is simple, wouldn't it be good to temporarily bend to the restaurant to teach cooking skills?" Once the business improves, the little old man must thank him heavily! ”
Han Fei was noncommittal, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Shopkeeper Wu, I don't know why your restaurant fell into such a field?" ”
"Childe, that's a long way to say! At that time, Yuelaiju's business was so prosperous, and it has always been at the top in Gaochun County, since the grandfather and the old man passed away one after another, alas, ......"
"If Shopkeeper Wu has something difficult, there is no need to say it!"
"This is something that everyone in the county knows, and there is nothing obscure!"
Shopkeeper Wu drank a glass of wine and said heavily: "Our Liang family is also a famous family, the ancestors followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world, and was awarded the title of Loyal and Yibo, although it declined later, it is also a leading family in Gaochun County, with a huge industry!" After the death of the grandfather and the wife, the old man became ill, and he followed the grandfather two years ago, and now the entire Liang family is left alone! ”
"Since the Liang family's property is still taken care of by a wife, it shouldn't be like this!"
"The son didn't know, the lady suffered this bad luck at a young age, and her heart was like ashes, she recited Buddha behind closed doors all day long, and she didn't ask about foreign affairs, and the industry was left to the people to operate, and the situation was getting worse and worse, and many industries were forced to sell, and the remaining few shops were barely maintained. Alas, the restaurant was squeezed by the rich building and completely failed, and the lady also intended to sell it! ”
"Shopkeeper Wu, how much is Mrs. Liang going to price the restaurant?"
"Childe, the restaurant has three floors and complete facilities, so it costs two thousand taels of silver, and Wan Ziliang, the owner of the rich building, is only willing to bid one thousand taels, and the two can't get along, so they haven't sold it until now. Mrs. said that if she can't find a buyer, she will sell it to Wan Ziliang! ”
It is also helpless for a young woman who is not familiar with business to be in charge, and the Liang family is a ...... Such a huge family property is not coveted? Han Fei couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Wu, there is no one in charge of the Liang family?" ”
"Son, the Liang family does have a side branch, when the master was alive, there was no contact with the side branch, after the Liang family suffered, if it wasn't for the lady from a famous family, the family property would be forcibly taken by the side branch!"
It turns out that there is someone above Mrs. Liang! Han Fei asked curiously, "I don't know which lady Liang is?" ”
"Childe, Mrs. is the young lady of the Jinling royal family, and she was quite famous in Jinling back then......"
Jia Ming suddenly exclaimed: "Mrs. Liang is Wang Ruolan, Sister Wang...... Miss Wang? ”
