Chapter 27 Yuqing Restaurant
"I want three red date rice cakes." Ji Xiang thought about it, and sure enough, he saw Fat Ni directly crashing into the two women in front of him. Especially the fat lady, compared with Fat Ni, she is a lot slimmer.
"Sorry, sorry, let me pass for a moment." Fat Ni looked at a few people who were bumped into by her embarrassedly, and apologized a few times. saw Ji Xiang, and before he could say hello, he was grabbed by the fat lady on the shoulder.
"What's the matter with you, don't you see anyone?"
Fat Ni looked at the lady with some apologies, "I'm really sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so ......"
The fat lady naturally didn't let go when she caught it, "Why, it's amazing to grow fat." If you want me to say, you should stay at home for the rest of your life. ”
There were more and more people watching the excitement around, and Fat Ni's face turned red. You can even see two tears, and the chubby girl hunched her shoulders as if she were about to shrink into a ball.
Ji Xiang couldn't look at it, and coughed lightly. "This lady, it's just an unintentional mistake, why hold on to it. If she wants to stay at home for the rest of her life just because she's fat, don't you want to? ”
The fat lady's face stiffened, and she wanted to lose her temper but felt that what Ji Xiang said had nothing to refute. On the contrary, if you say a few more words, the people around you will think that you are looking for trouble.
"Count you ruthless." The fat lady threw up her sleeves and left, and someone spoke up: "Sister, she is the proprietress of Hongfu Restaurant, it's not easy to offend." ”
"Yes, yes, this proprietress of Hongfu Restaurant is the sister of Zhang Zhutou of our county yamen. If you have too much mouth, I'm afraid you'll be hated. ”
Ji Xiang beckoned Fat Ni to his side and wiped her tears away with a handkerchief. Hearing these well-intentioned persuasions, he only smiled slightly.
"The law of the Son of Heaven is clear and beautiful, I don't believe that officials will harm people for no reason." Many women were infected by her indifferent look, and they felt some good feelings in their hearts.
"Why don't you bring me a red date rice cake? My family makes rice steamed buns, and I don't know if the rice cakes are the same. A woman gave four cents and said with a grin.
A few others are interested in fairy tofu, and the name sounds good. After Ji Xiang handed it over, he said that it was delicious to stir-fry and mix.
In this way, with the kindness of several women, Ji Xiang sold the fairy tofu and most of the rice cakes.
Counting the copper plates, Ji Xiang forgot what happened before. After all, this is the money earned by craftsmanship, not the exchange of system goods, which will undoubtedly make Ji Xiang feel a sense of steadiness.
Fat Ni next to her didn't cry anymore, but was silent. After Ji Xiang sold a piece of rice cake, she said softly to Fat Ni: "Are you not happy that person said that you are fat." ”
Fat Ni raised her crying and swollen eyes, her eyes full of grievances. "Hmm."
Ji Xiang took out the last piece of rice cake from the back basket, "Fat Ni, let me ask you a question." ”
Chubby Ni didn't take it, her stomach gurgling, but this time she didn't want to eat. She looked at Sister Ji Xiang's serious appearance and nodded subconsciously.
"Did anything happen during the time you suddenly felt very hungry?"
Fat Ni shook her head, she didn't understand what Sister Ji Xiang meant by asking. I heard Ji Xiang ask again: "It's a very special thing, such as what fruit you ate on the mountain, or who ate something for you." ”
Fat Ni sighed, "I ate a lot, there are persimmons and green fruits in the mountains." ”
Qingguozi Ji Xiang knows that it is a specialty of Yun'an Village. It tastes sweet and tasty, juicy and watery.
Fat Ni seemed to think of something, her ears turned red a little, and then she looked at Ji Xiang angrily. "Sister Ji Xiang, I remember. At that time, the young master of the Meng family came to our village to play, and he also teased me and let me stay alone in the mountains for the night. ”
Originally...... Meng Huaidong is also a bear child.
Fat Ni clenched her fists, "My mother almost couldn't find me, but later, the young master of the Meng family gave me a pastry, and I reluctantly let go of this hatred." However, Sister Ji Xiang, what are you asking me for. ”
Ji Xiang's head is full of black lines, it can't be Meng Huaidong's poison to Fat Ni. Although it is said that this poison is not difficult to solve, and the miracle doctor system also gives a prescription, how can she explain that she knows that Fat Ni is poisoned.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious, how can someone suddenly get fat. Besides, Fat Ni doesn't care about other people's opinions, does Fat eat their rice? ”
Fat Ni nodded heavily, and then took out four texts.
"Yes, my mother said, even if I can't get married in the future, they will support me. I don't eat other people's rice, so why should I be sad? ”
Ji Xiang, who was amused by Fat Ni, packed up the basket and returned the money to Fat Ni. "You call me sister, how can you give money. Shall I go to the restaurant and Jishitang later, come with me? ”
So, Ji Xiang had another little follower.
After knowing that the fat lady was from Hongfu Restaurant, Ji Xiang deliberately bypassed it and went to a restaurant on another street.
The business of this restaurant is not bad, and more importantly, this is where Chen Xie brought her here before.
The first person to see her was Dajia from the back kitchen, he had something to do today, and he took leave with the shopkeeper.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Brother Chen. ”
Ji Xiang told Chen Xie that he had entered the mountain, and Da Jia became excited. "I don't know what good things Brother Chen will hunt this time, I remember that once in winter, Brother Chen actually found a blind bear. Although we can't eat in the restaurant, it doesn't prevent my big brother from knowing that Brother Chen is amazing. ”
Da Jia gave Ji Xiang a thumbs up, and saw a girl behind Ji Xiang, "Sister-in-law, are you coming to dinner?" ”
But it's not time to eat yet.
"No, I want to find your shopkeeper."
This restaurant is called Yuqing, and the shopkeeper's surname is Zhang. Da Jia knew that Ji Xiang was in trouble, so he didn't talk much, but asked someone to find the shopkeeper.
He still has something to do, and he can't accompany Ji Xiang.
When Dajia left, Fat Ni stepped forward. "Sister Ji Xiang, what are you doing here. Is it that the shopkeeper owes the wages ......?"
"Hahahaha, what the little girl said is not right. My restaurant is not as good as Hongfu, but this money is more refreshing than those ones. ”
Out of it came a middle-aged man in blue cloth, with a beard and a very rough look. It is estimated that he practiced martial arts in his early years, and he spoke and walked vigorously.
Fat Ni was startled and took two steps back. Ji Xiang straightened his waist and stepped forward to greet the shopkeeper.
"Chen Jie'an's daughter-in-law?" Shopkeeper Zhang heard the person called by Dajia say that it was Chen Jiean's daughter-in-law looking for him. I still wonder what to do with him, could it be true that the account room has miscalculated the silver?
Ji Xiang bowed, "Shopkeeper Zhang, in fact, I came here for a business." ”
Business? Shopkeeper Zhang is even more curious, not to despise Ji Xiang, but what kind of business will a woman's family do with him? If it was Chen Jiean, he might value it a little.
Shopkeeper Zhang's hesitation was seen by Ji Xiang, there were not many people in Yuqing Restaurant at this time, just a few people eating and drinking, chatting. They had pots of peanuts on their table, and nothing else but this.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, what's the best appetizer you sell in your store?"
The best one should be peanuts. But this pot is only two Wen, and a pot of thin wine is three or five Wen. Some guests come in and sit for a day, just occupying the pit and not.
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know the intention of Ji Xiang's question, so he glanced at it a few times, and then spoke loudly. "What, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family wants to eat something?"
If you follow him, you will treat it as a sale, and he will also give Chen Xie an face, so that he can entertain him. If Ji Xiang is still not interested and asks long and short questions, don't blame him for driving people away.
Ji Xiang nodded, "Okay, then the shopkeeper will give me a few signboards in the store." ”
It's really up, Shopkeeper Zhang laughed, "Okay, then don't say that I cheated you." Plum, let Lao Wang make a few good ones. Hahaha, Chen family's daughter-in-law, do you drink? Our sweet wine is not intoxicating, only one fragrant, and it is most suitable for women's homes. ”
"Okay. By the way, shopkeeper Zhang, I brought my own snacks, if you don't mind, you can eat together. Thank you for taking care of my father-in-law all the time, Fat Ni, pick a seat and sit down. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang smiled, he didn't help Chen untie the saddle, but he just felt that this kid had the style of his youth, so he paid more attention. I originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but I didn't expect to die of illness last year. When we see each other again this year, we will actually get married.
"Okay, don't call the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, it looks raw. Xie An calls me Uncle Zhang, and you can call me too. ”
Ji Xiang nodded and called Uncle Zhang in a low voice. Then he took out a piece of hidden fairy tofu from the back basket, "Uncle Zhang, this is my family's own making, if you don't dislike it, you can keep it." ”
The shopkeeper confiscated it, but he smelled a fragrant smell through the banana leaves. "What is this? There is something strange about the taste. ”
"This is fairy tofu." Ji Xiang untied the banana leaves, the emerald green tofu was crystal clear, and the shopkeeper Zhang had walked all over the world, and he had never seen such tofu.
"How?" As soon as this sentence came out, I heard Ji Xiang smile lightly. At this time, the lobby is very quiet, and this laughter is like a silver bell.
Okay, Shopkeeper Zhang reacted, this is the Chen family's daughter-in-law's business.
"Uncle Zhang, this fairy tofu is relatively simple, and it is delicious when fried or cold. There are ......" Ji Xiang stopped talking, and when he saw the shopkeeper Zhang looking at it with a smile, he slowly took out an arm-length bamboo tube from the back basket.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked a little confused, could it be that something good was in the bamboo tube.
Ji Xiang took the saucer, poured out the braised mutton in the bamboo tube, and poured a little red marinade on the high mutton.
Fragrant, more fragrant than sweet wine.
The other thing is spicy, the two flavors rushed to the shopkeeper Zhang's nose, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The smell spread far and wide, and even those who were drinking wine and eating peanuts over there came to see it.
"Uncle Zhang, when will the wine be served?" Ji Xiang was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's reaction, and his speech was more cordial.
Fat Ni sat on the side, heard the question, and hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. "I also want rice, two bowls. I'll eat two bowls, Sister Ji Xiang, and the money will go back to you. ”
Seeing Fat Ni's anxious appearance, Ji Xiang glanced at the shopkeeper, but he didn't expect him to be seated.
The next thing is to urge the kitchen to serve food and rice, the rice is already there, and now it is served.
The shopkeeper Zhang sandwiched a piece of mutton, and ate the meal, whimpering, but chewing slowly. Fat Ni is different, she is afraid that someone will rob her.
Ji Xiang's stomach was still supporting, so naturally he couldn't eat it.
Shopkeeper Zhang asked for chopsticks, and Xiao Er brought out the dishes one after another.
The first dish is jade jade white soup, which is actually stewed tofu with cabbage and some shallots. But the soup is delicious, and it should be the base stock of the old hen. The second dish is fried crispy fish, which is golden on both sides, and even the spines are crispy. The third dish is stewed meat, this dish looks at skill, can stew fat meat without greasy, lean meat without firewood.
The last thing that came up was Ji Xiang's fairy tofu, which was stir-fried with green onions, ginger, garlic and meat foam, and the taste was very strange.
The person carrying the dish wraps his head and is clean. It's a little fat, and it's not very nice to grin when you smile.
"You're the one who makes this tofu!" The person serving the food didn't leave after putting it down, he sat down directly and sneered at the appearance of the shopkeeper.
"Lao Wang, if you taste it yourself, you will know why I eat this way." Lao Wang really didn't believe it, he had been a chef for more than 30 years, and although the mutton was fragrant enough, the taste was not in his surprise.
He was curious about this fairy tofu and how to make it.
Ji Xiang didn't speak, but took a bite of fried fish. She has some ideas, such as drunken shrimp, pickled fish......
"I'm starving, your shop is the most fragrant, hurry up and give Lao Tzu a table with the same as them!" A whirlwind-like figure broke into Yuqing Restaurant, the first one was a man with a scar, followed by a few people with knives, and it looked very difficult to mess with.
Xu saw Ji Xiang's scrutiny, and after the scar man sat down, he put the scabbard heavily and touched his chin again. "Yo, little girl, have you taken a fancy to Lao Tzu? No, then you still look at a fart, Lao Tzu buttoned your eyes down and believe it or not! ”
Ji Xiang hurriedly turned around and saw that the shopkeeper Zhang's expression became serious. He comforted Ji Xiang with his eyes, and then went to the table to negotiate. Lao Wang looked over worriedly, sat close to Ji Xiang again, and said in a low voice.
"Be careful, don't run into people's eyes. That man is ......"
