Chapter 11: A Hot Pain
It is said that the shopkeeper Zhao should be blamed for this, but now Qin Shen and they are also victims, and they can't bear to catch it for a while.
"Otherwise, how about the four of my brothers pay a total of sixty copper plates and have a light meal in your tavern?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Qiao Su's eyes, and he said happily, "That's it!" β
In fact, the meal was decided in a bit hastily, the tavern was not big enough, and there was only one bench in the back room, and the two pondered for a long time, and decided to set up a table for an open-air banquet, and the linoleum cloth was removed, and the tables, chairs, and benches under the shed that had not been smashed were put together enough for six people to sit.
Fortunately, the dishes on the table did not disappoint, Qiao Su took sixty copper plates and bought tofu, lettuce and bacon, made mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy fried wild vegetables, and fried the remaining bacon to make chili sauce bibimbap to eat, the soup was cooked by her with the leftovers of the ingredients, a sweet and sour taste similar to borscht, and of course chili peppers were added.
The six dishes Qiao Su chose were all classics, and another purpose for her to stay and eat quickly was to see if the ancients could accept these dishes.
During the banquet, she quietly looked at a few people, Sichuan cuisine is heavy on oil and salt, especially for rice, their rice was added to one night and another bowl, until the dish was empty, she was willing to put down the chopsticks, just when Qiao Su was secretly happy, a catcher quickly covered his mouth and said:
"Little shopkeeper, your dish is really different, my mouth is like a fire, and it hurts."
"Then you still have four bowls of rice?" Qiao Su was angry and laughed.
"Your dish is very fragrant and salty, I still want to eat a bowl after eating a bowl, but it hurts hot in my mouth."
Josu guessed he might have been spicy.
This will be kung fu another catch quickly also put down the chopsticks, he is not like the previous one to eat as much, the more he eats, the more ugly his face becomes, and in the end, holding his stomach and humming, Qiao Su hurriedly served him a bowl of soup.
"The shopkeeper is not surprised, I have an old problem, and my spleen and stomach are not in harmony."
"You really can't eat spicy food, drink some soup quickly." Qiao Su silently took these people's opinions to heart and thought about how to improve Sichuan cuisine.
Another catcher picked up the chili pepper and praised her, saying, "This dish is made with this safflower?" Previously, the shopkeeper of the tea house used this flower to make tea, and said that this flower can be cooked, I categorically did not believe it, and today the shopkeeper opened my eyes! β
Qiao Su snorted, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it when it is used to make tea, but it can be used to make many delicious dishes." β
After speaking, she looked at the crowd and asked tentatively, "I don't know which of these dishes on the table is the most suitable for your taste?" β
The four catchers each have their own preferences, and they can't make up their minds after discussing it, but Qin Shen lightly clicked the soup bowl with the tail of his chopsticks, and made up his mind, "This soup is the best." β
"Yes, the rest of the dishes hurt and swollen after eating, only this soup retains the fragrance of safflower, and it is not greasy, it is really delicious."
Qiao Su stared silently at the bowl of borscht that was used to make up the numbers, and his heart was thoughtful for a moment.
Is the taste that the ancients liked was bowl chicken, spicy hot, or hot and sour noodles?
After sending away the group of catchers, Qin Shen saw that she was a little depressed, so he comforted her: "You need to prepare well to open a store and make a living, don't be in a hurry for a while, don't worry, the food you cook is delicious." β
Qiao Su sighed while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, "It seems that if you want to make money, you have to think carefully about it, and everyone's tastes are very different." β
Suddenly, a pair of big hands fell on the top of her head, rubbed them lightly a few times, Qin Shen comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I will go to the dock tomorrow to work, and when life settles down, I will help you prepare together." β
Qiao Su's heart warmed when he heard this, and he bumped him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm very confident in making money, just wait to be taken care of by Miss Ben!" β
Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and muttered, "Where did you learn these strange words?" β
Early the next morning, Qin Shen went to the dock, Qiao Su also got up early, took a small notebook to count the things in the kitchen, and made a large list to go to the market to buy, of course, the most important thing is to buy rice, flour and meat.
Yuzhou is located in the north, and the people's tastes are heavier, and those stewed meat spices that Qiao Su didn't have any hope for were found in the market, which made her very happy.
After Qiao Su finished buying the spices, she saw that the stall owner actually took a lotus cloth package for her, and it was embroidered with a peony pattern on it, and it was a pity to give it to her for nothing, she asked: "This cloth bag is so beautiful, how can it be used to hold spices?" β
"I picked it up on the side of the road, and I'm going to scold my mother-in-law when I take it back! You girl is handsome, so I should give it to you. β
"Thank you!"
was praised for her beauty and gave a gift, Qiao Su was naturally happy, but this delicate cloth bag was filled with stewed meat spices, which was a little crying and laughing.
Qiao Su tied the small cloth bag to his waist and continued to carry the rice to the tavern.
She carried ten catties of rice, two catties of pork in the basket on her back, and other bits and pieces in her arms, and when she walked back to the tavern, she was almost so tired that she doubted her life, threw the rice on the stone table outside the tavern, and collapsed on the stone bench and gasped.
"This can't be done, didn't there be a flatbed cart or anything like that in ancient times, what should I do if I buy goods in the future?" She muttered to herself, and the small cloth bag on her waist slipped onto the stool, and Qiao Su didn't bother to pick it up.
"If my restaurant opens, I can't go to deliver food with a bowl in my hand, right? There must be a carβ" she said as she slumped up from her stool and ran into the tavern to drink.
Car or something, wait for Qin Shen to come back and discuss.
When Qiao Suxi had enough, she came out to carry those things, she counted them, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration to pick up the small cloth bag on the stool, but found that the stool was empty.
"Huh? Didn't you fall here? Qiao Su was stunned, and then walked around the stone table several times, but he didn't see the small purple cloth bag.
Qin Shen just came back from work, took the bamboo basket from her, and asked, "What are you looking for?" β
"There's a beautiful cloth bag, I obviously fell on the stone bench, was it taken away?"
Qin Shen took a step back, lowered his head to identify the footprints, looked around again, turned his head and asked her, "Are you sure you fell here?" β
Qiao Su nodded, what he saw with his own eyes could be fake?
However, she finally gave up looking for it and said to Qin Shen: "Don't look for it, let's go in first." β
As she spoke, she reached for the rice on the table.
Qin Shen suddenly spoke: "The footprints are very shallow, the body is not high, and you can't move more valuable rice, most of them are children who picked up your cloth bag to play." β
Qiao Su was stunned, and then thought about it carefully, this is indeed the case, who would take other people's things?
If it is a thief, he should take away the rice and pork, and only children like brightly colored things.
