It is said that Yunjiang County is low-lying and foggy all year round, and the people generally like to eat spicy food to dispel dampness.

Although it will be hot and sweaty when eating spicy food in summer, it will force the moisture out, just like taking a sauna, and the whole person will be light.

Wang Ziduan and Master Wang were like taking a bath at this time, their clothes were soaked, but neither of them wanted to be defeated, not only because the two of them were fighting, but also because the crayfish was indeed too delicious.

Mr. Wang traveled from south to north, and he had eaten a lot of wild game, but after eating a few crayfish, he couldn't remember any other tastes.

One hundred and ten crayfish, the father and son were quickly wiped out, Prince Duan Daoxing was indeed a little worse, so spicy that he couldn't speak, but Master Wang was articulate, and he could still run over to talk to Qin Fei: "Boss Qin is a good cook." ”

"The guest was rewarded. Qin Fei said politely.

"To tell you the truth, below is Wang Changfa, the founder of Wang's firm, who wants to make a deal with Boss Qin. Master Wang paused, "The hot sauce refined by Boss Qin has a unique taste, and he is willing to buy the recipe with a lot of money." ”

Mr. Wang is worthy of being a shrewd businessman, he has a business opportunity after a meal, and this kind of stuff is wrapped in oil, which is not easy to oxidize and deteriorate, and it is not a problem to put it easily for a year, and it can be sold all over the world in sealed cans.

Qin Fei hesitated for a moment and politely declined, he wanted to run this snack bar well.

Master Wang could see how much business prospect there was, and he was unwilling to give up, so he continued to persuade: "Boss Qin, don't be in a hurry to refuse, if you are not willing to sell the formula, then you can buy shares, and we will divide the profits from the sale of hot sauce in half." ”

"If you are not at ease, Wang is willing to bow to Boss Qin, from now on, you will be my brother and my son's godfather. Master Wang paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed, "Speaking of which, I even have thought of the brand of hot sauce, just call it Lao Godfather, it will definitely be popular in the Xuanwu Continent!"

Qin Fei brushed it in a cold sweat: "I'll think about it." ”

......

Before the night was late, the crayfish were sold out, and Qin Fei closed the stall early, but he was not in a hurry to rest, but brewed beer overnight.

The malt had already dried, so he first pounded it with a spoon, put it in a large tank, mixed it with hot water and some starch, and sealed it for saccharification.

After about an hour, strain out the dregs, leaving only the sugar juice, bring to a boil, and add the appropriate amount of hops halfway through.

By the way, hops does not refer to the foam of beer, but a plant, which is sold in Chinese herbal medicine stores, and has the effect of strengthening the stomach and eliminating appetite and calming the nerves and diuretic.

The addition of hops to the beer will give the beer a unique taste and fine foam, and it can also inhibit deterioration and extend the shelf life.

Subsequently, Qin Fei put the cooled stock solution into ten wine jars, added some koji and sugar, sealed it, and waited for a few days to ferment before it became beer.

Of course, in this era, there is no carbon dioxide processing equipment, and even if the beer is brewed, carbon dioxide cannot be pressed, and the taste will definitely be different from that of later beers.

"Wait, can you provide these devices in the system?" Qin Fei patted his head and left the plug-in unnecessary.

The system has always eaten people without spitting out bones: "The price of carbon dioxide processing equipment is 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"When I didn't ask. Qin Fei rolled his eyes angrily.

......

Lin Ji Seafood Restaurant is a time-honored restaurant in Yunjiang County, because of its fresh ingredients, and the famous chefs invited by the coast, the taste is authentic, and the reputation is excellent.

In the past, the night market should have been full of seafood restaurants, but now the popularity is a full one, and there will be empty tables.

If left unchecked, the situation may continue to worsen.

In fact, the shopkeeper Lin Donghai also knows the reason, it is nothing more than that the otherworldly snack bar invented the practice of crayfish, which is cheap and delicious, attracting some customers.

After closing tonight, Lin Donghai detained the cooks and ordered them to study the cooking of crayfish.

Seafood chefs can cook precious aquatic products into delicious food, but there is no way to deal with this cheap ingredient, even if the shrimp line is removed, the gills are also cut, there is always a fishy smell, and the taste is not as good as that of the otherworldly snack bar.

Lin Donghai lost his temper and scolded the cooks, and a small helper of the cook had an idea and made a suggestion: "Shopkeeper, isn't that snack bar recruiting clerks? Let's send someone over and steal the secret recipe!"

Lin Donghai's face was gloomy: "Steal?"

The little chef consciously said the wrong thing, but the shopkeeper Lin was a big man, and he definitely couldn't pull his face down, and he wanted to apologize.

Unexpectedly, Lin Donghai's words changed: "Can the chef's business be regarded as stealing? This is called borrowing!"

"I'll leave this matter to you, and if it's done, I'll be promoted to chef!"

The little chef looked happy and responded: "The subordinates promise to complete the task." ”

......

Before dawn the next day, Qin Fei was woken up by a knock on the door, he thought it was Chen Laohan and Ah Yi who sent crayfish, but when he opened the door, it was a girl with raw eyes.

The girl is about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed very plainly, but her face is very clean, her eyes are clearer, and she is as aura as Zixia in the Journey to the West.

She still had a bag on her shoulder, and she seemed to have been in a hurry.

"Who are you looking for?" Qin Fei asked.

The girl seemed a little nervous, didn't dare to look at Qin Fei's eyes, and pointed to the notice at the door.

"You're here to apply?" Qin Fei suddenly said.

The girl nodded, in an inaudible voice: "Hmm." ”

This girl looks good, but her personality is a little shy, and I'm afraid she is not suitable for a snack bar job.

At this moment, another young man came to the door, masculine and energetic: "Boss, are you still hiring? I want to apply for a job at the snack bar." ”

The two of them came at once, but Qin Fei only needed one person, so he asked: "Since both of you want to apply, then let's be fair, what are the unique skills of each of them, so that I can decide who will stay." ”

Before the girl could speak, the young man said confidently: "Boss, I have good knife skills." ”

"Okay, then you try. Qin Fei was interested.

The young man entered the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife, a piece of old ginger, aggressive, sword light, old ginger was cut into countless small pieces as thin as cicada wings in an instant.

"Well, that's good. Qin Fei looked at the girl, "Then what are your unique skills?"

The girl pondered for a moment, then picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it off, and the cutting board rolled on the table like an evil spirit, and then fell to the ground with the kitchen knife.

"Ah!" the girl was startled, then looked at Qin Fei weakly, "Boss, I can learn." ”

"Alright, I've already judged. Qin Fei rubbed his forehead, as if he was thinking.

The young man looked confident and determined to get the job.

"Excuse me, you can go. Qin Fei said to the young man.

The young man thought he had misheard and asked, "What?"

"I said I'm sorry, the snack bar can't hire you, please find another job. Qin Fei repeated.

"Why?" the young man looked angry, his knife skills were so good, how could he lose to a girl who didn't know anything.

Qin Fei pondered for a moment, but still gave an explanation: "Your knife skills are very good, you are really good at my snack bar, I believe you can find a job in any restaurant in Yunjiang County." ”

But this girl is different, I heard that there is a locust plague in the north, this girl's accent should have fled from the north, and a girl is willing to show up to look for a job, which shows that she is indeed in trouble. ”

The girl's eyes turned red, and it seemed that she had said it, and tears rolled down her face.

The young man looked at the girl, then at Qin Fei, and finally hugged his fists and left the snack bar.

"Although I will take you in and pay you, you need to put in the corresponding labor, and learn what you don't know as soon as possible, otherwise I will still fire you. After all, Qin Fei is not a charity, he also needs to run his own small shop.

"Yes boss. The girl wiped away her tears and became a little resolute.

"By the way, my name is Qin Fei, you can call me Brother Qin in the future. Qin Fei was in his twenties, looking at this girl like a child, and he didn't have any other crooked thoughts, "What's your name?"

"The little woman's name is Chu Youlan. "The girl blushes a little and is shy to even introduce her name.

"Good. Qin Fei pondered for a moment, "There is another question, seeing that you are literate and don't behave like an ordinary person, you won't be a big lady who has escaped marriage, right?"

It's all written like this in the novel, what if someone comes to ask for someone and smashes the store, Qin Fei is still a little worried.

Chu Youlan covered her mouth and smiled softly, and then she was a little sad and told her life experience.

It turned out that she was indeed a young lady from a scholarly family, but there was a locust plague in the north, and there were many wanderers, so she had to come south to join her relatives.

As a result, he met bandits and his family on the way, and his relatives in Yunjiang County also moved, if it wasn't for Qin Fei to take him in, Chu Youlan really didn't know where he should go.

"Your family will be safe, there's a spare room in the backyard, you can clean up and live there in the future." Qin Fei sighed, he was born in a peaceful era, and he had never experienced the feeling of displacement, but he was particularly touched.

But his strength alone is too weak to help too many people, so he can only do what he can.

After settling Chu Youlan, Chen Laohan and Ayi sent today's crayfish, Qin Fei asked Ayi's father's leg injury by the way, and Ayi said that it was much better.

"Hey, why are there locusts in there?" The crayfish in the back basket were still large, but there were a few grasshoppers that had been pinched to death.

Chen Laohan thought that Qin Fei blamed him for being fake, and while he was busy picking locusts, he explained: "Now the rice fields are full of this thing, they must not have noticed that they ran into it by themselves." ”

So, the locusts have come to Yunjiang County?

Qin Fei looked into the distance, Yunjiang County was shrouded in clouds and mist, green mountains and green waters, he liked this place very much, and the people were also very simple, but once the army of hundreds of millions of locusts attacked, there would be no grass.

By the way, isn't there a snack called fried grasshopper?

Qin Fei's eyes lit up: "Lao Chen, Ayi, can you help me catch a few catties of grasshoppers?"
