103. The people live on food
After the two mothers and daughters were welcomed in, they were shocked by the various aromas and voices that came to their faces, but it was really the last time they came, although there were diners here in twos and threes, but it was not so lively.
After Song Lingxue came here, she also knew that the so-called 'people take food as the sky', and the people of the Dayong Dynasty were accustomed to enjoying food.
Not to mention the rural ones, who don't just want food and clothing, but the people in the cities and towns are different.
The ordinary people in the city and town, but as long as the family is not too tight, and the little extra money rarely fires by themselves, one is to make it convenient and the other is to eat tricks.
Therefore, in this Huaihua town alone, from the various food shops and teahouses and restaurants in the East Market, to the various snack stalls and noodle sheds in the West Market, from the porridge and dim sum for breakfast and all kinds of meat and vegetarian snacks, to the various pasta soup cakes and various stir-fried dishes for lunch, Song Lingxue was amazed by the first time he came here.
This is also why as soon as Song Lingxue's roasted fairy grass and Aunt Liu's stinky tofu came out, they aroused the popularity of these foodies, and they were always sold out, some of them were fresh and delicious, and some of them were cheap.
After Song Lingxue and Shi Lan went up to a private room on the second floor near the second floor and sat down, another small two came over with a teapot and a cup, and asked them what dishes they ordered with a kind smile, this attitude is much better than the hall below, naturally there are consumption standards, the private room has to order at least three meat dishes, Song Lingxue thought to herself that this is at least half a tael of silver, no wonder most people would rather share a table with others than sit on it.
Song Lingxue was not distressed, and asked with a smile: "Do you have any new dishes here?" ”
"This lady is really right, we haven't just come out with five new dishes here recently, but they are very popular, would you like to try them?" The shopkeeper saw that although the mother and daughter were wearing cotton dresses, they had extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance, and they thought that they were also from a well-off family, so they smiled more sincerely, hoping that they could have more things, so that he could get some praise from the shopkeeper.
Song Lingxue thought about it, and the two of them estimated that they wouldn't be able to eat much, so they ordered a dish of sweet and sour fish and braised prawns, as well as kung pao chicken and garlic vermicelli cabbage, and finally asked for two servings of rice.
Except for the little cabbage, the other three of these four dishes are all recipes she sells, and she also wants to try it, but looking at the table downstairs, most of them seem to be those new dishes, and they are indeed very popular, Song Lingxue is not only a little proud, the few menus she sold are all extremely ordinary in later generations, and she can't imagine that she can make a lot of money.
It may be that there are too many people eating, and the speed of serving the food this time is obviously slower than before, but it's okay, Song Lingxue and Shi Lan are drinking tea and chatting, and they don't feel in a hurry, and then after the dishes come up, Song Lingxue was also very surprised, people's IQ in ancient times was really not to be underestimated, and in the case that the materials were not very complete, it was really not easy to make the dishes nine points similar just by relying on the menu.
Song Lingxue was very satisfied with this meal, and even Shi Lan, who didn't have much requirements for food, had a rare appetite and ate a lot, and praised it.
So when Song Lingxue finally checked out, when Song Lingxue took out one or two pieces of silver and was only found with two hundred yuan, she only felt pain for a second.
Just when the mother and daughter were about to leave with their things, they were stopped by a small servant, saying that his son Li had been invited.
Song Lingxue thought about it for a long time before she remembered that the young owner who came again was Li Gongzi, and he was also the one who bought her recipe last time, so she was overjoyed, thinking that this young owner must have thought that the recipe she gave made the good business popular, so she called her over, maybe she still wanted to do business with her!
Song Lingxue thought about it for a while, and felt that she didn't feel at ease about leaving her eldest daughter alone outside, anyway, Shi Lan was just a thirteen-year-old girl, and there was nothing to avoid, so she took her daughter over.
Thinking that business was good, this time she was not led to a private room, but to a place behind the stairs on the second floor, where there were two doors, and when she opened it, it turned out to be a balcony with a few battles square, adjacent to the street with a wide view, and the railing was painted with a veil, which looked a little elegant.
There was a table of eight immortals in the center, and there were already two people sitting there at this time, the one in blue brocade was the one that Song Lingxue had seen before, and the other young man in white had never seen it, he looked two or three years younger than Li Gongzi, about eighteen or nineteen, compared to Li Gongzi, he was much better looking, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was very handsome.
However, Song Lingxue was not interested in looking at the jade-faced little Langjun, but greeted Li Gongzi with a smile.
Li Gongzi also smiled in return, and invited Song Lingxue and the two to sit down, and personally took a cup for the two to add tea.
Shi Lan was very restrained, she didn't drink tea, she didn't dare to raise her head, she just held the things in her hand tightly and didn't speak, Song Lingxue put the things in her hands aside with a smile, and also asked her daughter to put down the things, and then quietly put her hand on the back of her hand and patted it, letting her relax, and then took a sip of tea, yes, the tea is fragrant and elegant, it is good tea.
"The menu that the woman gave last time was really good, and the business is much better when I come back." Li Gongzi didn't hide it, and said directly: "My father has the intention to open a branch in Fucheng, so I think it would be better if I could have more new dishes, I also remembered Mrs., I came to the town to find Mrs., I want to ask you if you have any other recipes, but I have been looking for a few days without a clue, and I don't want to see Mrs. again today." ”
Song Lingxue felt that this Li Gongzi's attitude was obviously much better than last time, and she thought about it for a while, and she didn't take Qiao, but also smiled: "It was originally a meeting in Pingshui, a hammer deal, and I didn't think about cooperating with Gongzi anymore at that time, but now I hear Gongzi say this, and I also think that you are a refreshing person, I don't hide it, I do have a few menus in my hand, but there are still these few, I don't know what price Gongzi wants to buy?" ”
It means that there are only a few of them, and they must not be as cheap as last time, Song Lingxue must understand when she thinks that this Li Gongzi is so smart.
"Twenty-two menu!" Li Gongzi doesn't like ink, and besides, when he came to town this time, he had other things besides the menu, so he didn't want to waste too much time.
"Deal!" Song Lingxue's heart was already happy, but she kept a smile on her face, what kind of luck was this to meet this Li Gongzi, and he could make a windfall again.
Song Lingxue wrote five more recipes, namely braised pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, glutinous rice pork ribs, mapo tofu, dry pot mushroom and dried pork jerky, Li Gongzi asked people to take two silver tickets of fifty taels and gave them directly to Song Lingxue, and the two of them once again made a quick deal with lightning speed.
"I hope we still have cooperation!" Song Lingxue said to Li Gongzi with a smile.
Li Gongzi thought to himself that you have said the last few menus, what will you do for me in the future, he was noncommittal, but nodded with a smile on his face: "That's natural!" ”
The young man in white didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he didn't pay attention to them, but looked outside, Song Lingxue thought he was a dumb person, and he felt pity for a long time.
The moment he put the silver ticket in the jacket, he put it into the space with the previous silver and Song Lingxue, and then he took Shi Lan from the new big bag and left the restaurant, and went to the West Market, ready to go to the seventh master and go home in an ox cart.
