Those literati who have some ink in their stomachs will naturally laugh and speak vulgarly, but the common people feel that this name is very happy. Everyone has different opinions and preferences, but without exception, they all begin to wonder what this new restaurant is going to sell. Therefore, the restaurant has not yet opened, and the bluestone road in front of the door has almost been stepped on countless footprints.

When the old shopkeeper heard the news, he was silent for a long time, and the contempt for Pucao in his heart faded by three points, and he secretly wondered, maybe that woman really had some ability.

The days slipped by in Pucao's rush from the village to the city, and this morning she had just walked into the backyard of the newly decorated restaurant, and the fat cook led a tall thin man with a full beard to greet her.

The tall and thin man's name is Donghan, and he is a local roast sheep master who was invited back in Western Xinjiang when Fang Jie sent people to look for cumin. This person is bold and enthusiastic, and he has been close to everyone within two days of arriving at the restaurant.

Especially the fat cook, who shouts all day long that he has a lot of skills and does not press his body, wraps around Pucao and Donghan, helps to help, and makes suggestions from time to time, and the three of them get along more and more closely.

Dong Han was straightforward, and when he walked up to Pu Cao, he laughed, "Pu Cao girl, you are here." Now that the lamb has been disposed of, I'm waiting to see how you roast the whole golden lamb. ”

The fat cook glared at him and muttered, "How many times have you told you, why can't you remember if you want to call Zhang Dongjia?" ”

Dong Han raised his thug and slapped him, and laughed, "You people just have a lot of flowers and intestines, what's the difference in name, aren't they all Pucao girls?" ”

Pu Cao doesn't like these rules on weekdays, and when he talks and does things with this Donghan, he is very casual among some friends, so he smiled and said, "Brother Donghan is right, it's just a title, it's good to call anything." Let's go, it's not too early, let's hurry up. ”

The three of them laughed and hurried to the backyard of the restaurant, where a tiled shed was built close to the back wall, with only the upper cover and the back wall, and no front face. Two half-human-high bluestone walls were built in the tiled shed, and three small compartments were divided.

There was a deep pit dug in the compartment, and the pit was piled with burnt red charcoal, and various iron hooks and drills were inserted in the edge of the pit. Chen He took a young man to personally move the barbed wire fence where the lamb was tied, and when Donghan reached out to take it, he immediately drove the young man back to the front yard, which can be described as extremely careful. I am afraid that the biggest reliance on the prosperity of this restaurant will become someone else's bag before it comes out.

Donghan was so strong that he raised his hand to hang the barbed wire on top of the charcoal pit, but Pu Cao hurriedly stopped him, then picked up a homemade brush, first smeared a layer of oil on the white and clean mutton, and finally let Donghan hang it on the iron shelf and roast it.

Donghan frowned and muttered, "How can roast the sheep be so troublesome, just sprinkle some salt when it is ripe." ”

Pu Cao didn't care about the heat, and stood next to the charcoal pit while staring at the fire carefully and said with a smile, "Brother Donghan just cares about the heat, and the rest listen to me." Otherwise, the sheep will not be roasted well, the restaurant will not be able to open, and your salary will be gone! ”

"That's not good," Dong Han immediately exclaimed when he heard this, "My Lanzhu is still waiting for me to earn money and go back to propose marriage." ”

Everyone laughed, shook their heads and said that this person from the Western Xinjiang is really straightforward.

The summer sun is always the hottest, and with the baking of the charcoal pit, in less than an hour, the area around the cubicle is as hot as a steamer. The fat cook and Chen He retreated to the shade under the willow tree not far away, while Donghan simply took off his shirt and went naked.

Pucao was also dizzy with heat, but seeing that the roast sheep's skin was already yellow, faintly exuding a unique aroma, she didn't dare to relax a little, for fear that her success would fall short.

When Fang Jie came in with Dongzi with tea and cloth towels, he frowned in distress when he saw Pu Cao's appearance. stepped forward and handed over the cloth towel, complaining, "Since the oil is all prepared, let the fat cook do it, why bother to heat yourself like this?" ”

Pu Cao secretly glared at him, and said in a low voice, "You run out to hide lazy, I don't do it myself, this restaurant still wants to make money." ”

Fang Jie shook his head with a wry smile and compromised, "Okay, good, Zhang Dongjia has worked hard." It's a pity that I can only run errands to customize tables and chairs, and I really can't share my worries. ”

Pu Cao was amused by him and giggled, and Dong on the side rarely laughed like this, his face was full of envy, "It's good that my Lanzhu is here too, her smile is as crisp as a bell..."

Pu Cao was afraid that this straightforward man would say something out of the ordinary, so he wiped a handful of sweat beads and stepped forward to prick dense small holes in the four leg of mutton, and then brushed another layer of oil.

Muhan also piled the charcoal in two places, and roasted the leg of lamb over a high fire. After another quarter of an hour, the smell of the courtyard became strong, and the lamb, which had no more than twenty pounds of entrails and had its fur removed, was now golden. From time to time, grease dripped, fell on the charcoal fire, and immediately a burst of white smoke rose from the fire, and the thought of it was like a wild horse running rampant into everyone's mouths and noses, causing everyone to swallow their saliva non-stop.

The young men who were originally wiping upstairs and downstairs, as well as the busy cooks and handymen in the back kitchen, also didn't care about the scolding of the shopkeeper and the steward, and secretly stretched their necks from time to time to look in the direction of the cubicle.

Dong Han didn't shout at this time and just added salt, his big eyes were firmly fixed on the iron frame in his hand, turning it up and down from time to time to adjust the heat, and his face was baked with charcoal as red as a boiled crab.

Pu Cao's mind recalled the appearance of the roasted whole sheep that he had eaten with his friends when he went to Lanzhou in his previous life, hesitated and raised his knife to scratch the leg of lamb a few times, and then carefully brushed the last sauce. The sauce was made by mixing cumin powder, sesame seeds, salt, sugar, chili powder and many other spices. The color is bright red and golden, and it looks very attractive.

The roast lamb brushed with sauce turned around on the charcoal fire a few times, and the original aroma added a hint of spiciness, which became more and more mouth-watering.

Chen He, who didn't know when he turned to the front yard, hurriedly ran in at this time, and shouted with a happy face, "Young master, the guests over there in our Baiyunju may have smelled the aroma of roast sheep here, and they have already sent five or six young men to come over to investigate, and some people are shouting that no matter what kind of food they eat, he will buy a copy to taste." ”

Everyone cheered when they heard this, and the signature food was not yet launched, but the wafting fragrance could attract diners, which was really gratifying, and it would be difficult for the restaurant to not prosper in the future!

Pu Cao put down the sauce in his hand, and said with a smile while motioning for Donghan to take the roast sheep down, "In this way, our restaurant will definitely be prosperous in the future." However, it is said that scarcity is expensive. In the future, no matter how many diners there are, our restaurant will only roast three sheep a day, and even if Fu Yin comes to intercede, it can't be an exception. ”

Chen He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this was not pushing the silver out. He opened his mouth to persuade a few words, but Fang Jie nodded and praised, "According to the rules that Zhang Dongjia said, if everyone can eat it when they come to the door, then this roast sheep is not rare." ”

Chen He was helpless, so he had to ask again, "Then Baiyunju, how do you reply..."

Pu Cao pointed to the whole sheep that was roasted with golden color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and occasionally dripping with fat, and said with a smile, "Send it over in half and let those diners taste it, so that we can save popularity for our new restaurant in advance." ”

Everyone came to the front one after another, all of them were reluctant, and then in the end, it was Fang Jie who cut off two legs of mutton with a knife and sent them over. The remaining half, the whole restaurant, regardless of the owner and the guys, got a piece, and each of them ate with a mouth full of oil, and even opened his mouth to praise for fear of letting go of the residual aroma between his lips and teeth.

So, in the backyard of the entire restaurant, only a "mmmm" and the "squeak" sound of sucking @ Yun's fingers were heard, which provoked passers-by who smelled the fragrance outside the courtyard and gathered under the wall to listen to the movement, and their faces became extremely strange...

A good start is half the battle, and the delicious taste of the golden roast lamb has greatly boosted the morale of the new restaurant. In the afternoon, lamb skewers, honey @ sauce chicken wings, sauce-flavored pork rib skewers and other foods were freshly baked again.

Naturally, under the guise of tasting the taste, everyone rushed to eat first. Even the diners in Baiyun Juli occupied the table and stayed still, waiting for new food to be delivered every few moments. Although the number is very small, not everyone can get a bite, but it is always a thought and a lively feeling.

The old shopkeeper Chen heard the young man's report that the new restaurant caused a sensation in the city before it opened, and he was also overjoyed, so he personally went to find a master, and calculated that the opening on May 18 would be auspicious.

And now it's May 14th, and the opening will be three days away, which is a bit urgent. Chen He took the guys, big and small, to buy ingredients and set up various tables and chairs, while the fat chef pondered all kinds of refreshing cold dishes.

For a while, everyone was so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, that is, Fang Jie, the big owner, had to write invitations and prepare for the banquet on the opening day to invite all peers and a few friends who were good friends on weekdays. Only the grass is mixed with sauce and red oil, and when it opens, it is only necessary to show off its skills and roast the three sheep by himself.

She couldn't help much in the restaurant, so she simply stayed in the village, went to the vegetable field during the day to take care of it, and accompanied the two children to write and read at night. Occasionally sorting out the daily account book, calculating that there would be countless pieces of silver rushing into her purse soon, she also smiled even more happily.

Chunni's belly is getting bigger and bigger these days, but she is surprisingly diligent. This night, I wrapped meat buns with my own hands and brought a plate of treasures. The two children washed their hands just after writing a few big characters, smiled and grabbed the buns for supper.

Pu Cao took a silver ingot of five taels and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "This is the silver from selling vegetables yesterday, you have collected it." ”

Chunni took it and stuffed it into her sleeve, and responded, "Okay." ”

Seeing her so casual, Pu Cao couldn't help but chuckle, "Our Chunni landlord is really rich now, and she doesn't blink her eyes when she sees Yinzi." I didn't know who it was at the beginning, but I didn't dare to close my eyes after holding two taels of broken silver all night. (I'm so hungry and hungry when I write it, and there's a chapter in the evening, so I'll try my best to catch it at eight o'clock.) Thank you all for your support!! ）
