Chapter 59: Tofu (I)
The proprietress changed her face and wanted to pounce on her face and tear it apart.
"Phew! Without evidence, you said that there is a problem with the oil, and I will send you to the official! β
The proprietress looked cruel, and Han Chuan involuntarily took a small step back.
I'm still scared.
After all, it's not that sloppy.
Han Chuan held his waist straight, and his face showed no fear.
Some people are weak if you are weak, she will be cross, and if you are weak, if you are seen through fear and cowardice, there is nothing to talk about.
"If you want to report to the official, your son will accompany you." Han Chuan wiped the edge of the oil cylinder with his hand, his hand was slimy, and there was a strong smell of lettuce oil, "The oil boiled out of the water is black and turbid, not clear." Only when added to vegetable oil, which is darker in color and has a strong smell, can it escape the judgment of buyers. β
Han Chuan rubbed his oil-stained fingers to get hot, leaned to the tip of his nose and smelled it, there was a strange smell.
Han Chuan handed his finger to the proprietress, "If you think what you said is wrong, why don't you smell it too?" β
Smell a fart!
The proprietress squinted her eyes and re-examined Han Chuan.
I thought it was a girl from a rich and noble family, who would have thought that this girl still had some research on eating and cooking.
Bah!
Bad luck and kicked the iron plate!
Han Chuan took out a plain silk handkerchief, wiped the oil on his hands, didn't raise his head, and said softly, "That little girl, give one tael of silver, and the remaining two taels will be regarded as treating her." If you agree, we will sign the pledge, this oil, this girl, one is none of your business, the other is none of your business. If you don't agree, let's report to the official now, there is Jing Zhaoyin's camp tent at the entrance of the eastern suburbs market, which is also convenient. β
In the Great Wei Dynasty, cheating on food is a felony!
Exile at the least, punishment at worst!
The proprietress gritted her teeth, "You dare to threaten the old lady!" β
Han Chuan raised his eyes at this time.
Can't see such an obvious threat?
Han Chuan's eyes were clear, and he nodded naturally, "Yes, look, what should I do now?" Is it a report officer? Or give money? β
Report to the officer... It is a felony to be investigated and punished...
Give money... You can also earn a silver tael!
The proprietress reacted quickly - her hands were spread forward, viciously, "Pay!" β
Han Chuan took back the three pieces of broken silver that he took out, took one and handed it to the proprietress hand, "You take it, please find me the deed." β
The proprietress stomped her feet into the house, and came out after a while, holding a yellowed piece of paperwork in her hand, and said to Han Chuan with a smile, "I admire your kindness, take a tael of silver for nothingβthat girl has been coughing for almost a month, thin and tenacious, and now she is moving to a different place, but she is dying in another place." β
Han Chuan didn't talk to her much, picked up the deed and walked out of the counter, set up the dying girl from Boss Jia, looked at the deed, and realized that this girl was called Liu Ershuang, and it was two and two, most of which were the second daughter of the family.
"Shuang'er, let's go, let's go home." Han Chuan called her softly.
The little girl has few bones and small meat, and it is light and fluttering, not much heavier than a rice bag.
Han Chuan thought about it, simply raised his hand and carried Shuang'er to his shoulder, and picked up his own bamboo basket from Boss Jia, looked at the crowd of onlookers, thought about it, raised his voice and said two words, "Everyone, you are the head of the 'Shixian' restaurant in Dongtangzi Hutong, if you want to eat well in the restaurant in the future, please come to 'Shixian' to give it a try, the first time you don't come is not yours, the second time you don't come is not it!" β
The crowd laughed.
The young master of a big restaurant saw that Han Chuan was beautiful and kind-hearted, and now he took advantage of the large number of people to sell it unexpectedly, and he felt interesting in his heart, and he also responded with a loud voice, "What kind of dishes are there!" β
Han Chuan took out one hand to hold Shuang'er up, and responded with a smile, "Lu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Suzhou, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hui... Stir-fry, burst, boil, fry, cook, boil, stew... Buddha jumping over the wall, buckle three wires, boiling water cabbage, fairy chicken, Dongpo meat, steamed deer hooves, pickled bear paws... As long as you dare to order, as long as there are ingredients, the restaurant will make you satisfied and happy. β
The names of the dishes are all famous dishes.
Eight major cuisines, seven major practices, like slipping out of the street.
It's a no-brainer, isn't it?
The young master laughed even harder, "You little lady, you don't brag about drafts, the cowhide is about to blow for you." β
Han Chuan is now carrying Shuang'er, and he can't do anything, so he has to smile and say, "Just say that you don't practice fake tricks, Laba will open for business on December 8, and welcome you to come to try the dishes." β
The show ended, and the laughter of the crowd gradually dispersed.
Han Chuan cleaned up the east side box, spread a thick cotton wool and mattress, poured a warm soup woman into the quilt, took two cans of just right tofu in the stove house, and went out to buy two sets of linen clothes, looked at the sky, turned into the iron lion alley, did not go back to the Bai family, turned around and went to the Hu family next door to the Bai family to knock on the door.
It was the Hu family who opened the door.
Han Chuan smiled and reported to his family, and he had to borrow Grandpa Bai's face, "... is a closed disciple of the Bai family's chef, may I ask if Imperial Doctor Hu is at home now? β
Before the little guy could speak, a familiar voice came from the courtyard.
"He Niangzi?"
Han Chuan poked his head and saw that it was Hu Wenhe who was wearing short casual clothes, and laughed, "I'm bothering you!" Master Hu, are you taking a turn off today? β
Hu Wenhe waved his hand, and the little guy stepped aside.
"Well, take a break." Hu Wenhe walked towards the door, and while seeing that the sky was starting to snow again, he beckoned Han Chuan to enter the door, "Come in." I'll get sick when I'm drenched in the snow later. β
After speaking, he didn't know what to say, so Hu Wenhe stopped.
Han Chuan didn't know what to say.
I don't know.
Every time I met Hu Wenhe, there was inexplicable embarrassment between the two of them.
Han Chuan thought to himself, he is a restaurant owner, people come and go, and he is doing people's business, how can there be strange embarrassment?
Han Chuan waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, I'm here to ask Dr. Hu to see the disease." It's not good to bring cold to the house. Han Chuan looked around, "If Imperial Doctor Hu is not there, please ask the doctor of the Good Medicine Hall to watch it first, and if it doesn't get better, then come and bother Imperial Doctor Hu." β
Hu Wenhe hurriedly said, "Yes! He turned to the window and yelled, "Grandpa! The Bai family, please go and see a doctor! β
The back room replied, "Eh."
Hu Wenhe turned his head again, saw that Han Chuan was buried in his head, and after thinking about it, he began to have nothing to say, "... Haven't you set up a stall these days? Morning patrol, didn't see you on Broad Street. Is there something wrong? Uncle Bai is okay now? Is this a treat for Uncle Bai? A few days ago, I heard Grandpa Bai reprimanding Aunt Cui, is it okay now? β
Many, many questions...
Han Chuan was stunned, and it was difficult to choose which question was more important for a while.
