Chapter 2 The Liujia Tavern
She was dressed in white, because she had been soaked in seawater, her appearance was not regular, which attracted the crowd around to point their fingers, and at the same time, the private room in the attic opposite was half-hidden in the window, and the man in the dark robe had a deep look in his eyes, and his eyes were like ancient wells without waves, taking in the farce.
The little servant looked at the hustle and bustle outside the window, and said respectfully to the man, "Childe, what you expected is good, the news from the capital has been confirmed, and the King of England reported the Kitchen God Contest in the name of the emperor, but in fact, it was for the anorexia of the British Princess." ”
The person in front of him didn't say a word, his expression was stagnant, his eyes fell into the distance through the gap in the window, his eyes were deep, the jade crown was tied with half of the black hair, the soft light wrapped his face, and the bridge of the nose was straight, wheat-colored skin, the narrow phoenix eyes were slightly wild and uninhibited, and the thin lips were slightly pursed, which was very affectionate.
The little guy looked in the direction of his sight, and the official Liujia Tavern on the opposite side, he said, "The location of the Liujia Tavern is really good, as long as the merchants from the south and the north are passing by Jialing County, all of them pass by, do you think the villain came forward to buy it?" ”
Yu Guang glanced at the fearless back of the girl outside the window, and came with some interest, he put down the tea bowl, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were sharp, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, wait for them to suppress the price." ”
Liu tilted her arms together, and for some reason felt that someone was watching, and she looked back and saw nothing.
She watched Father Liu come forward and cry and plead, her voice trembling, "I have promised to increase the price by 30%, only Xiao has a grace period of three months, even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you will make up the balance payment, what do you want?" ”
"Three months?" The merchant bluntly threatened, "How do I know what will happen in these three months?" The night is long and dreamy, settle the payment today, if you don't mortgage the tavern to Boss Fang today to repay our final payment, don't want to leave here! ”
Boss Fang? After speaking, I saw Boss Fang dragging his fat body, his face was fat and meaty, his greasy and disgusting face was swaggering like a duck, "Lao Liu, I persuaded you a few days ago, the tavern will go out of business, sell me the best of both worlds, you don't agree, you have to ask me today?" ”
Liu Tian pushed away Liu's father and stepped forward, "The Liu family's tavern will not go out of business, and it is even more impossible to sell it to your boss, why don't you give it a month, when the time comes, I will give the balance double, how about it?" ”
Without waiting for the merchant to express his opinion, Liu's father grabbed Liu Tian first, "You dead girl sincerely wants to kill me!" There is nothing in the kitchen, and no one makes deliveries, so what if it is delayed for a month? When the time comes, the interest will roll over more and more, and you want our whole family to drink the northwest wind with you? ”
The leading merchant's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he laughed, "Your father can't afford to pay it back, where did you get the money?" Can you bring your tavern back to life? ”
"Why not?" Liu Tian asked rhetorically, his eyes were like knives, and he looked extremely serious.
The man choked up and suppressed his laughter, "Then can you show your real skills and prove your cooking skills?" ”
Liu's father's fingers trembled, and a palm wind blew through his hand. It's too late, it's fast, the crowd made a sound, Liu Tian's thin arm caught it in time, and it turned over her cheeks, and the green silk shone a little brightly in the sun, wrapping her entire thin body, her back was straight, but the whole person looked extremely stubborn.
Father Liu was angry and didn't choose what to say, "You slut!" You don't know how to cook? Do you sincerely want to destroy the tavern and avenge your slut girl! ”
She just stared at Liu Yiyuan like that, her eyes were as fierce as a night wolf who did not return in the wind and snow, her thin arm shook off Father Liu, Father Liu staggered back, unable to recover for a long time, obviously frightened.
Liu Qian didn't look at him, and his voice was stubborn: "Father, what is the situation in the restaurant now, you know better than me, and now you still have the heart to accuse me?" Since you're not good at running a restaurant, why don't you hand over the management rights of this restaurant to me? And guys, if I can prove that I have the cooking skills to bring the Liu Family Tavern back to life, will I be able to keep my promise to give me a one-month grace period? ”
Father Liu was stunned by what he said, when did this dead girl dare to talk to herself like this, and he was stunned for a while.
Hearing this, the neighbors looked at each other, and they all found incredible expressions on each other's faces, and then they laughed out loud, "Did I hear me right?" Miss Liu, are you kidding? We don't know about our neighborhood? You can't even tell the difference between leeks and chives, what can you use to prove your cooking skills? ”
"That is, I also want the right to operate the restaurant. I haven't heard of a little girl who opened her own restaurant. Boss Liu, it's better for you to agree, anyway, this restaurant won't be yours soon. The crowd laughed and ridiculed.
Father Liu's face turned blue and white for a while: "You dead girl, you know that you are causing chaos, and you are turning against the sky." "I'm going to rush up.
"Father, please recognize the present form. Either agree to my request, or transfer the restaurant to outsiders now. Liu Tian's tone was resolute, but he couldn't be ignored, his eyes were firm, and he looked at Liu's father.
Father Liu's raised hand and put it down curtly, weighing the pros and cons, and seeing what this dead girl is capable of.
As we all know, the two young ladies of the Liu family don't touch the spring water with their fingers, and they can't even recognize the dishes, so how can they talk about cooking?
The merchant smiled proudly, and saw Boss Fang's confident nod, his expression became more and more greedy, "Little girl, I didn't find that you are quite bold, I will give you this opportunity today, but if you are delaying and wasting my time, the payment for the goods today will be doubled, do you dare?" ”
The ridicule rumors came towards Liu Tian like a knife, she listened to them one by one, looked at the man again, her eyes were more fierce than ever, and she said firmly word by word, "A word is a certainty." ”
Boss Fang looked at the basket of shells brought by Liu Tian, sneered and mocked in his heart, and said disdainfully, "I want to see what kind of reputation she makes!" ”
Everyone also followed to the kitchen, "Let's go in and see what the hell this Liu family is doing!" Shouldn't you be kneeling down and begging for mercy in private! A crowd laughed.
In the attic, the man looked at the determined figure, as if he had found a fun toy, and pushed away the teacup with great interest and got up, "Let's go, let's go and join in the fun." ”
When he came to the kitchen, Liu Tian touched the stove, and it was still clean. As Liu's father said, the whole kitchen has been empty for a long time, and there are no ingredients, only some spices and rice and wheat.
The merchant took a moment to fold his arms, "There's nothing here, but you're doing it?" ”
Everyone whispered and looked at Liu Tian pitifully, but they wanted to watch a good show, expecting her to kneel helplessly and beg for mercy.
Liu Tian doesn't take these things seriously at all, and only by doing a good job can he be affirmed. She rolled up her sleeves and put up her apron with a clean movement.
Then take local materials, pick out abalone from a basket of seafood, wash it and put it in a clay pot, fill it with water, make a fire, put it on the stove and simmer it slowly, and when the time is up, put in a little salt.
The movements are skillful, there is a look, not at all like the eldest lady who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, everyone has changed a little,
"This girl from the Liu family doesn't look like a pustule, huh? The action is so skillful? ”
Liu Tian turned a deaf ear to the surrounding sounds, continued his movements, and finally poured the soup on the noodles, garnished with green onions, and a bowl of braised noodles with abalone sauce was freshly baked, and the fragrance came to the nose.
Everyone was already immersed in the fragrance, and secretly Lin Feng took a deep breath, it was a fresh fragrance that he had never smelled before.
His eyes looked like a cheetah peeking at its prey from the dark, and everything was under control, and his interest became more and more intense.
