208, Poetry and Food (2)
Liu Jiaojiao summoned everyone to come, in fact, she didn't have much hope, after all, Niu Haoran and Liu San's brains were more active in this group of people, but after all, they were all from small places, they were young, their experience was limited, and they were in ancient times where information was blocked, so it was unlikely that they would come up with any ingenious ideas.
But Qingxinfang belongs to everyone, and they must be involved in order to give them a greater sense of belonging, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to get a joint-stock system in this era, it was impossible to go public, and she wanted to use shares to stimulate their fighting spirit.
After making small changes to the tasks released by the system, Liu Jiaojiao asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
Hearing this, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and then they shook their heads in unison.
For a long time, the development strategy of Qingxinfang was formulated by Liu Jiaojiao, and everyone has become accustomed to doing whatever she says, and the facts have proved that Liu Jiaojiao's decisions are extremely correct every time, so they have long been accustomed to acting according to orders, and they have never thought of raising any objections.
The reason why they are like this is because Liu Jiaojiao's ideas always surpass them, making them surprised and amazed every time, and on the other hand, Liu Jiaojiao's force and brain power are too much beyond them, so that they can't afford to go against them.
Liu Jiaojiao was not surprised to see this, but sighed helplessly, and said: "Although I am the owner, you are also a part of Qingxinfang, if you have any good ideas, as long as it is helpful to the restaurant, I will adopt it, I admit that I am sometimes more authoritarian, but I am not a person who can't listen to others, do you understand?" ”
Everyone nodded in unison, but still said that they didn't have any good ideas, and the owner had the final say.
Liu Jiaojiao had a headache and held her forehead.
Is it her usual attitude that scares them, causing them to only dare to obey and not give opinions? Or are these guys convinced that she must have a way, so blind trust?
Either way, her idea of brainstorming was completely lost.
Anyway, the task she took on had to be completed by herself, so let's go back at night and think about it.
What Liu Jiaojiao didn't know was that when she left Qingxinfang and returned to Xie Mansion, several people who were called to the meeting were all nervously patting their chests and panting.
Willow Root winked at everyone, with an expression of "I'm smart, come and praise me", and said with pride: "How is it?" Am I right? I knew Jiaojiao was deliberately tempting us! Fortunately, I reacted smartly and quickly gave you a look, but your reaction was quite fast, and you immediately understood what I meant, not bad! ”
Liu San glanced at him and complained: "What do you mean that we react quickly? As soon as the owner finished saying that, we all understood what she meant, okay? ”
Lotus answered: "That's it, I still have lingering feelings about the incident in the town back then, but we can't talk too aggressively, the owner will think that we have the ambition to replace it!" ”
Niu Haoran nodded with palpitations: "If it weren't for the promotion of the owner, how could we have today's scenery?" We just do what she says, don't have any bad thoughts. I'll put it here first, if I knew someone who shouldn't have a mind, I would never let him go! ”
After listening to everyone's words, Liu Ling somehow always felt that something was wrong, and whispered weakly: "How do I think Master really wants us to help her come up with ideas?" ”
Willow Root smashed it with a roll of the eye, and said in a tone of lesson: "How is it possible? Can our brains compare to our delicate brains? She's so smart, where does she need us to help come up with ideas? She just wanted to test it to see if any of us had crooked thoughts. ”
Niu Haoran glanced at him with rare approval, and continued: "I've been with the owner for so long, when did she ask us to help think of a way when she encountered something?" And the root of the tree is right, with the wisdom of the Dong family, how can there be anything in this world that she can't solve? We just have to do what she says, and don't mess with ideas, so as not to hold back. ”
Everyone nodded yes when they heard this, and even Liu Ling felt that she might have really thought wrong.
If Liu Jiaojiao was here, she would definitely be so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh.
Blame her? So it's all her fault?
On the third day, Liu Jiaojiao really came up with a method, and it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it, it was simply the best idea, Niu Haoran and the others couldn't help but feel more and more that their feelings were right that day.
They knew how could there be anything that stumped the owner? Letting everyone come up with ideas is just a temptation, otherwise wouldn't it be the same as Xiao Nian back then? That guy just has a lot of ideas, and he gives opinions when he has nothing to do, but he turns out to be a big-hearted person, and he will end up in that end.
Fortunately, they are clever enough, so they were not fooled!
If Liu Jiaojiao knew that their brains were so big, the corners of her mouth would twitch and she would have added a sentence "Why do you have so many plays", this is simply a group of drama spirits?
Liu Jiaojiao's method is simple and simple, but difficult to say, she skillfully combines poetry and food.
In fact, since ancient times, many literati and writers have been foodies, and they have also left a lot of poems related to eating, such as Su Shi of the Song Dynasty, who wrote "Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river." Artemisia is full of short reed buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to eat. ".
Although it is a scene, in fact, it also vaguely tells the big guy that the ducks in this season are very good, and the puffer fish are also emerging, it is the time to eat it, take fresh artemisia and reed sprouts to stew, the taste, is much better than Dongpo meat.
There's actually an interesting anecdote to this poem.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, everyone loved Tang poetry more and didn't take Song poetry very seriously, so during the Kangxi period, the famous scholar and great poet Mao Xiling specifically criticized Su Shi's poem, saying: "The spring river is warm, the duck should know, and the goose doesn't know?" ”
It means that why is the water in the spring river warm, and the ducks must know it first? Doesn't the goose that swims in the river deserve a name?
If he is in modern times, this Mao Xiling must be an out-and-out bar.
The topic is far away, back to the topic.
Liu Jiaojiao specially hung a big poster at the door of Qingxinfang, of course, there will be no poster in this era, just similar. I chose a large piece of red silk, and then asked my eldest brother Xie Pingru to help, and wrote a line of big characters in a beautiful official script-
However, all students who enter Beijing to catch the exam, from now on to the end of the scientific examination, as long as they can go to the store, they can eat once in the store for free, all the dishes can be ordered, you can bring a person, the food can not be wasted, not packed and taken away, each person has a chance every day.
As soon as this huge red silk hung from the third floor of the restaurant to the first floor, it instantly caused a sensation in the capital, and it was soon known to everyone.
Is the food in Qingxinfang delicious? It's definitely quite delicious, but the price is also quite beautiful, and it's not at all something that ordinary people can afford to consume.
Most of the students who came to catch the exam belonged to the people who had to hold their money bags tightly when they arrived in the capital.
But when they arrived at the door of the restaurant, the students were a little timid.
Without him, this restaurant knows that it is very expensive at a glance, and the rewards sound so rich, and it is allowed to take one person to eat, and you can also order any dishes, is this true?
"Isn't it possible that the boss will come up with that kind of eternal absolute to trick people?" One student guessed with some uncertainty.
Another student replied uncertainly: "Surely it shouldn't be like it for eternity?" If there is really no one who can answer the next link, then isn't it taking advantage of us? The boss opened the shop to make money, and he will definitely have a good reputation, and he will use us to open a shabu, he's afraid he won't dare, right? ”
"I've heard that the dishes in this restaurant are very special, and they are very delicious, but the prices are a bit expensive, and most of the diners who come to consume them are dignitaries and nobles in the capital. So, I guess the boss's Shanglianding will not be too simple, otherwise everyone can match, wouldn't he have to lose money? ”
"It's this principle, let's try it again to see what kind of uplink it is."
"Hehe, couplets are my forte, so I'm not welcome to try it first!"
After speaking, the student immediately stepped forward, and said to the guy who was standing at the door to greet the guest with his head held high: "Man, take out the Shanglian prepared by your family, this son is right at the door, give everyone a sample!" ”
The guy hurriedly smiled and said, "Childe later, the little one will go and get it." ”
Soon, he took a rolled paper tube out, opened it in front of everyone, and then read it out loud: "The upper link from our host is - strive to know the whole world's words, please son's next link!" ”
This couplet is from Su Shi, it is really not difficult in the couplet, Liu Jiaojiao's move is not to make fun of the students, and to make a kind of eternal absolute eyeballs, although it can also create heat, but if one person can't come up, it will cause dissatisfaction among the students, after all, the character of the readers is somewhat proud, if they can't get off the stage collectively, then they will also make Qingxinfang unable to get off the stage.
This kind of thing that offends readers, Liu Jiaojiao can't do it for a smart girl like Liu Jiaojiao.
The student took the paper with the upper link written on it in his hand and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly, he should have been thinking about the next link, but some of the onlookers began to deliberately coax.
"This son, you shouldn't be able to come out with such a simple uplink, right? Why do you have to think about it for so long? You're just talking so loudly that couplets are your forte, shouldn't you blurt it out right away? ”
This person who made a coax was deliberately arranged by Niu Haoran, not to deliberately ridicule the students, but to deliberately create contradictions and highlights, so as to make the restaurant pay more attention.
Sure enough, as soon as the student was agitated and suspicious, he immediately looked coldly at the onlookers who made a coaxing sound, and said loudly: "Who said that this son can't come out?" This son just wants to choose the best and most suitable link! ”
After speaking, his eyes moved to the guy who was waiting in place, raised his head high, and said word by word: "You heard clearly, the next link of this son's right is determined to read all the books in the world!" ”
"Strive to know the words of the whole world, and be determined to read all the books in the world, so that you can connect!"
"The battle is neat, and the idea is also excellent, this owner and this son are both talented people!"
Suddenly, the onlookers and others shouted praise.
The guy had already gone in to reply, and soon walked out again, smiling very brightly, and bowed to the students who came out of the next link: "Congratulations to this son for being the first to go out of the next link, are you going in alone, or with a companion?" ”
The student was a little skeptical: "Are the dishes in the store really ordered?" No matter what the dish? ”
"That's right, our boss said that as long as she can be satisfied with the next link, all the dishes in the restaurant can be ordered, but you can't pack it or waste it, and please do what you can."
"So what are you waiting for? Senior Brother Lin, how about going in with the younger brother? "The students who come to catch the exam, except for the rich family, who will bring someone with them? What a lot of money! So, the student smiled and greeted another student who came with him.
"Good intentions, for my brother to go in with dignity!" They are all readers, who doesn't have a backbone? If you can match that, so can I.
"Hahaha, that's okay, little brother just wait here for a while, waiting for Senior Brother Lin's good sentence!"
