There are two lotus flowers carved from carrots and a few lotus leaves carved from the skin of winter melons, and I am not good at this. Du Mei smiled and turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Dong who was staring at the plate.

"Go and carve it!" The shopkeeper Dong waved his hand, and the quick-witted cook immediately got busy.

"One of the two lotus flowers should be bloomed, one should be half-opened, and the lotus leaf should be a big one, a small one, and a rolled one, and there should be vein lines." Du Mei was not polite, and directly said his request.

The cooks of the drunken fairy building are all good at knife work, and after a while, the lotus leaves that Du Mei wants are carved.

Du Mei placed the small and delicate lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the empty space, and only placed the rolled leaf between the two small goldfish, which instantly had a looming feeling, as if two fish were playing among the lotus leaves.

At this time, the plate looks more than just a meal, it is simply a leisurely pastoral picture, such a beautiful and exquisite dish is served, who still thinks that this is a simple duck egg dish!

Du Mei also mixed the aged vinegar and pickled pepper, because it was not easy to pour it directly to keep it beautiful, so it had to be put on a small plate to facilitate it to be served together and let the diners dip and eat.

The bright moon is born on the sea, the fish plays among the lotus leaves, the two dishes are perfectly presented in front of everyone, and they are placed together with other dishes in the Zuixian Building, which is not inferior at all.

"Shopkeeper, there is a regular customer in front of me, and I want to see you." A guy from the lobby hurriedly ran in, and looking at everyone gathered in one place and didn't know what to see, he stood by the door and said a little confused.

"Come on!" Shopkeeper Dong waved his hand at the young man, lifted the corner of his robe and wanted to leave, but turned his head and told Du Mei, "Du Ruren, you wait for me, I'll come when I go!" ”

"Okay, shopkeeper Dong, you can get busy first." Du Mei nodded at him and watched him leave.

When he stepped into the kitchen, he saw the thin and tall Du Mei standing in a group of fat or strong cooks talking, maybe talking about what dishes, everyone talked and laughed, and it was very harmonious.

"Shopkeeper Dong, you're back." Du Mei had sharp eyes and smiled at him.

The cooks who were still talking and laughing just now saw the big shopkeeper coming, for fear of being scolded, they all went back to do things, and for a while the pots and pans, kitchen knives and spoons all moved, the oil pot was moist, the soup pot was cooing, all kinds of sounds collided together, and a delicious food was born.

"It's already time for dinner at this time, if you are not in a hurry to leave, we might as well move to the private room on the second floor to eat and talk." Shopkeeper Dong bent down slightly and invited.

"Thank you for the kindness of Shopkeeper Dong, it's just that the stone is still waiting for me outside." Du Mei smiled apologetically.

"Just call Brother Shi, the drunken fairy building is so big, how can he send him a bite to eat, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks to my place, people always want to eat." Shopkeeper Dong said casually.

"Then I'll go ask him." Du Mei hesitated.

Shi is reluctant to socialize on weekdays, Du Mei knows his temperament very well, and if she wants to stay to talk about business at this time, it is better to settle with him first.

As soon as she said it, the stone agreed directly, without any words, Du Mei was puzzled in her heart, this is really abnormal!

Seeing Du Mei's look of disbelief, the stone smiled at her, revealing her snow-white teeth. Of course, Du Mei would not have thought that Shi was just worried about her safety and refused to let her eat alone with Shopkeeper Dong.

After settling the carriage, the stone followed Du Mei to the private room on the second floor, the shopkeeper Dong and the two of him sat down, the young man immediately made a pot of tea and came in, and after a while, he quickly sent four dishes and a soup, the shopkeeper Dong hurriedly beckoned them to taste, Du Meiqian let it gossip, while tasting the dishes, and the shopkeeper Dong gossiped, the stone sat next to him, only buried his head in eating, and did not say a word.

"Shopkeeper Dong, what do you think of my Songhua eggs? Are you satisfied? After a while, Du Mei was half-full, put down his chopsticks, and asked back to business.

"How do you sell these eggs?" The shopkeeper Dong did not answer, but directly asked the price. He is a shrewd businessman, and he has already glimpsed that Songhua eggs will definitely be more marketable and profitable than salted duck eggs in the future.

"It's not expensive, only ten cents a piece." Du Meiyun finished speaking lightly, scooped half a spoonful of warm mushroom soup and drank it, Zuixianlou really lived up to its reputation, and the taste of this soup was very delicious.

"Not expensive? That's more expensive than a double yellow salted duck egg. Shopkeeper Dong put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.

"Let me tell you this, in the future, if the salted duck eggs are good or bad, after a long time, others can also make a one-two tricks, such as my first pickled, although not as good as the current taste, but it can also be eaten, after all, salty is salted This truth everyone understands, and the quality of salted duck eggs will be uneven in the future, it must be a common thing.

But this Songhua egg is different, it's not that I'm talking big, now looking at the entire Dashun Dynasty, if there is no exclusive recipe for me, it will be difficult to find a second person in the world who will make this egg. "Du Mei is full of confidence, she is a prophet from the future after a thousand years, and how can others do it!

"Do you have today's presentation style and dish name in your ten articles?" Shopkeeper Dong leaned forward and asked cautiously. He really liked these two dishes, and the names of the dishes were also very selling.

"Of course, the plating and the name of the dish are tailor-made for Songhua eggs, and they are sold together. There is just one point, if the guest orders the plate of fish and lotus leaves, you need to add two more fish, otherwise the amount is too small and I am afraid that it will not be enough to eat. Du Mei saw that the shopkeeper Dong was moved, and nodded with a smile. She pondered how to sell Songhua eggs all night yesterday, and now it seems that her method is still good.

"Ten wen is ten wen, but it's still the old rule, you have to ensure the supply of the Drunken Immortal Building first." Shopkeeper Dong seemed to have made a lot of determination, and his fingers knocked the table.

"I can't sell more if I want to, I only have less than 200 of them at home now, and there are not many pickled peppers." Du Mei spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"Your pickled pepper was pickled by your mother? I eat better than the ones in my shop. "The shopkeeper Dong is sincere.

"Well, but my family doesn't pickle much this year, before the locust plague, the pepper leaves were gnawed up, and now in this season, the weather is getting cooler, and the ground is not growing anymore." Du Mei is also worried about this, if the sales of Songhua eggs are good next year, she plans to plant two acres of peppers on the villa.

"It's not a difficult thing, catch up with Ming'er, I brought the Songhua egg to the Jiangling City head office to promote, at that time by the way, the head office has a special shopkeeper outside to collect all kinds of scarce ingredients, if you meet, help collect some chili peppers, but it's a convenient thing, just the same, when there are chili peppers, you have to bother your mother to help pickle." Shopkeeper Dong thought about it and said.

"Of course you can help, but you can't rush, pickled food always takes time to get the best taste." Du Meidai's mother should go down, and when the family will do it together, she will not be tired of her mother.

"In that case, I'll have to save some money on selling here." Shopkeeper Dong took a sip of tea, quite worried.

"It's better to do this, you promote it slowly first, and when the diners gradually accept the recognition, it will take ten or twenty days, and I will prepare the next batch of pickles when I go back today, so that things will not be delayed." Du Mei also picked up the tea and took a sip.

"...... your idea," the two were talking, when there was a "bang" on the door of the private room.

"What's wrong?" Shopkeeper Dong got up and opened the door, and when he saw that it was the guy in the store, his face showed a little displeasure.

"The little son of the old man's family, a big family in the county, drank too much wine and made trouble underneath, saying that he was tired of eating big fish and meat, and he was clamoring for new dishes!" The young man was glared at by the shopkeeper Dong, his eyes shrunk, and he said with some trepidation.

"This kid has some money at home, and he doesn't do his job by raising pigeons and walking dogs all day long, how many times has this come to us to mess around? Let's open the door to do business, pay attention to harmony and make money, he is a soft persimmon when I am a soft persimmon! Shopkeeper Dong said angrily.

"I just happened to try him out." Du Mei covered his mouth and walked over with a smile.

"You go and bring him the plate of sea shengyue in the kitchen, remember to tell him that this is the first part of the new dish. The price of the dish is ten taels, and it is impossible to miss a penny, so go quickly. After listening to Du Mei's words, the shopkeeper Dong turned his head and said to the young man. He deliberately accentuated the tone of the words "ten taels".

Du Mei was stunned by what he said, five pine eggs for a dish, plus seasoning labor and other expenses, a full dozen is only about one tael of silver.

Although there is a suspicion of stealing customers in Dong's shopkeeper's words, for a loser from a rich family, ten taels of silver is nothing at all. It can be seen that the shopkeeper Dong is really a good manager, which not only satisfies the vanity of the guests, but also earns a lot of money.

A plate of pine eggs, Dong shopkeeper easily earned eight or nine taels, Du Mei remembered that Song Jiu wanted to partner with her to open a restaurant, it seems that this business of eating and drinking makes more money than the grain store! Du Mei thought about her love affair with Fengxian, and didn't want to rob her business, but only kept this discovery in her heart.

The young man got his word and turned away.

"Songhua Egg, when will you send it?" Shopkeeper Dong closed the door and sat down again to speak.

"I've delivered it today, and it's all in the wagon." Du Mei said with a determined look in his eyes.

"Are you so sure I'm going to ask for it?" Shopkeeper Dong asked in surprise.

"I am the only one in the world, with a unique taste, with your years of experience in business, you must be discerning!" Du Mei smiled and praised.

Suddenly, the noise outside the door became louder and louder, and the shopkeeper Dong could hear Qiu Gongzi's roar through the door. He was so drunk that he had a big tongue when he spoke, but in his intermittent words, he could probably guess that he thought there were too few Songhua eggs and didn't enjoy it!

The guests at the other tables were overwhelmed and avoided him, and several able-bodied men in the lobby rushed to take care of him, and gathered him in a private room for tea.

"This guy is crazy, and Jin Yu is also a cabbage!" It's not that the shopkeeper Dong doesn't want to make money, but Songhua eggs are rare, and he doesn't want to waste them on this kind of person, and waste good things in vain.

"I have a ready-made diet here, delicious and hangover-cure, but I can help you get rid of this mess." Du Mei listened to the movement outside was really not small, it was messy, she had a flash of inspiration, and remembered a porridge she had seen in her dream.
