"On the first day of junior high school, guard the courtyard outside for me in the future, don't let those who are not indiscriminate come in, so as not to dirty your young master's yard." Liu Qingyun's heart was really uncomfortable.

The eyes of the girl were obviously disgusted and disgusting, when will it be the turn of the children of their Pei family to dislike people like her, she is just a village girl, so uneducated.

Chu Yi was stunned, then nodded, and said secretly in his heart, didn't you let people in, madam, why are you still blaming me.

"Auntie, you see that what is said in this book is not like the stinky person just now." Pei Yan pointed to a unique smelly flower written in the book.

Liu Qingyun looked at it, but laughed out loud, and patted Pei Yan's shoulder, "Yan'er is right, that person is stinky." ”

On the other hand, Qiao You, who came from the pilgrims, was not as idle as Pei Yan, and now she didn't know why, as if someone was deliberately working against her.

The fresh ingredients she needed in the cellar of the restaurant were gone, this time, don't say it's her, even Xu Sixiao has just moved the rest of the things out.

In the cellar, there is only some wine left, even if they have the best cooking skills, but there are no materials, they are also a good woman who can cook without rice.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, waiting for the delivery person in the store to deliver those things quickly, and the customers outside almost couldn't wait.

When the two shopkeepers hurriedly returned to the restaurant, the two of them returned empty-handed.

"No, shopkeeper, the fishermen we used to be with were reluctant to sell us something, and they said that someone had already set it for five times the price."

"I'm the same there, whether it's vegetables or meat, it's said that someone paid for it, and no matter how much silver I have, people won't want to sell it to me, what should we do?"

As soon as I heard this, everyone knew that things were not simple, and who would pay five times more than the usual price to buy these things?

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth secretly, and he didn't know what he muttered, and asked the two of them how much was left in the back kitchen.

Qiao You shook his head, originally there were only a few things left that had been made into Dongpo meat and some others, and now there were only some vegetarian dishes and some fatty meat in the back kitchen.

"Those things are not easy to make, and besides, no one wants those dishes." Xu Sixiao scratched his head, with some distress on his face.

Inside the restaurant, the guests at several tables watched that no one was serving food for a long time, and some of them had a big temper and dropped the dishes and chopsticks directly, and shouted into the restaurant in a thick voice, "Your restaurant can't be opened, my son has waited for so long, why is there no one." ”

"That's right, I don't have any wine in this wine jug, don't rely on the Yuan family behind us to bully us like this, Lao Tzu is not easy to bully."

There was a loud and noisy voice, and the shopkeeper hurried out to appease the men when he heard it.

However, people who have waited too long are short-tempered, and naturally they cannot be appeased by a few words.

"Miss Qiao, you little girls have a bright mind, see if there is any way, don't let those people smash the restaurant again."

Xu Sixiao couldn't help but be a little nervous when he heard the sound of smashing things outside, although he was a rough man, he really didn't come into contact with the kitchen on weekdays, and he really hadn't been in contact with this fight and trouble.

Hearing this, Qiao You couldn't help frowning, what is a little girl's brain?

Merely......

Suddenly thinking of something, Qiao You didn't speak, and went directly to the back kitchen.

Xu Sixiao saw her running in so anxiously, thinking that she had thought of something useless, and hurriedly followed.

"Miss Qiao, did you find something...... Xu Sixiao said as he spoke.

Qiao You didn't speak, and searched through the cabinets for a while before finding a similar pot, two of which were separated from each other, and a pile of them below, which looked like they should have been used for boiling medicine before.

She didn't have time to think about it, so she found a larger basin and put some red-hot charcoal fire in it.

Looking at her movements, Xu Sixiao only felt inexplicable, "Miss Qiao, what are you doing with this?" ”

"Hot pot, a thing from the north, but the pot over there can be heated automatically." Qiao You explained as he put the turnip greens on the plate next to him.

As for the seasoning, there is no such condition for the time being, and it can only be coarse.

She didn't know that Xu Sixiao took her words to heart, was surprised by the hot pot in her mouth, and quickly started to help, although he didn't understand how to make this hot pot, but it looked a little similar to a hodgepodge, and he probably understood a little.

After everything was done, the seasoned ingredients were put at the bottom of the pot, and then the shopkeeper went to the restaurant.

"Ladies and gentlemen." According to what Qiao You just said, the shopkeeper gave a detailed introduction to the guests in the restaurant, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart, you know, the pot in front of him was still the one he used to cook medicinal food before.

"Hot pot, what is this, it looks so strange?"

"But no, I've never heard of it, this vegetable meat is scalded in water and eaten, can this be delicious?"

Looking at the steaming pot behind the shopkeeper, the pot was still in the brazier, and this thing looked so panicked.

Listening to the words of those people, Qiao You seemed to have expected it a long time ago, standing in the back kitchen, through the small window, she nodded to the shopkeeper.

Hot water was poured into the pot on both sides, and the red seasoning in it immediately came out of the spicy smell, and the black chopsticks sandwiched the vegetables in the steaming hot pot a few times, and then quickly fished out.

Next to it, there are also some fatty meats skewered with skewers and some vegetarian dishes.

There was a faint commotion in the crowd, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he ate the first bite of green vegetables, and he couldn't help but look towards the window of the back kitchen.

The little girl and Xu Sixiao are no longer at the window, so they are probably busy.

As there were fewer and fewer things on the plate next to him, I didn't know who came and said, "Give me a hot pot too." ”

One after another, many people ordered this hot pot.

There were almost seven or eight tables of guests in the restaurant, but fortunately the pot was not lost, and now it is quite enough, and the leftover vegetarian dishes and fatty meat, as well as some meat foam and noodles made into meatballs, are skewered together.

Watching these things come to the table one after another, some people followed the movements of the shopkeeper and soaked in the pot, and after a while, bursts of fragrance came out.

There are no noisy sounds in the restaurant, and there is a bit of fragrance in the hot room, and there are a lot of people standing at the door, looking at a room of people in such a strange way of eating, not to mention, it looks pretty good.

In the back kitchen, watching a room of people eat happily, and occasionally there are a few shopkeepers who can't shabu-shabu, and they also teach patiently.

"Miss Qiao, this, how did you come up with this thing, it saves effort and materials." The shopkeeper looked at the little girl in front of him with a look of amazement.

"It's all stuff from somewhere else, it's normal that you haven't seen it." She nodded, but there was no pretension, she thought of something, and continued to speak, "But it's not a way to go on like this, the meat standing there is no more, if you can't buy it tomorrow, I'm afraid it's going to close." ”

This is not a good thing to say, but it is true.

The shopkeeper who was still happy immediately sank his face, but the shopkeeper outside came to report that the young owner was here.

Qiao You and Xu Sixiao had nothing to do, and followed the shopkeeper to the back yard.

The courtyard sat on a stool, the shopkeeper next to him and Xu Sixiao stood next to him, and Qiao You was the only one sitting opposite him calmly, and he also held the teapot next to him and poured a glass of water and drank it.

Xu Sixiao secretly twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at Yuan Ziyi, and saw that the Shaodong family did not show any signs of dissatisfaction.

is also a cook, why is there such a big difference in treatment?

The shopkeeper on the side was even more aggrieved, he had stayed in this pilgrim for most of his life, and he had never dared to sit with the young owner, this little girl had great ability and courage.

"Do you know who did it?" Yuan Ziyi glanced at the person opposite, but didn't care about anything.

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head, if he knew who did it, he wouldn't bother the young owner to come in person.

"I only know if someone deliberately bought out those things, or if the price was five times higher, and those people said that the man was wearing a black cloak and his face was not exposed."

The shopkeeper has always been curious about this.

If you can't see your face, how can you deliver it!

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Yuan Ziyi became interested, their Yuan family has always been dominant in Yecheng, except for the Pei family, which has a century-old foundation, there are almost few opponents.

However, the Pei family has always done things above board, and they don't disdain such methods.

In this way, there is another one left.

Their Yuan family's old rival, the Xie family, has been making the rope in Yecheng bigger and bigger in recent years, and in several big restaurants in the city, they often drink their Yuan family.

once spent a lot of money to poach Xu Sixiao, but he refused because of Xu Sixiao's personal reasons.

Isn't it this time, making a comeback?

"Has there been any movement in the Xie family recently?" In Yecheng, only pilgrims come to a restaurant that belongs to their family, and the others are almost all silk and cotton cloth business and land business.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately shook his head, "In the past few days, the Xie family didn't know where to invite the cook, the craftsmanship is good, but he has attracted a lot of guests, and I haven't heard of any movement in the thread I installed." ”

At the beginning, when there were no materials in the restaurant, he also wondered if the Xie family did it.

Compared to the character they couldn't find, he hoped that the Xie family did it, in this case, the opponent was at least on the surface.

It's a pity that it's not what he thinks.

"Isn't it imperative to find the food first?" If they don't have enough to eat, they will have to close the door tomorrow, and even if they investigate the matter first, it won't be solved overnight.
