Chapter 8 Experiences in the Welcome Building

"This guest officer, Li Maoqing, the shopkeeper of the Lower Welcome Building, doesn't know what the guest officer wants to see the contemptible person." As soon as the shopkeeper came out, he bowed to Xu Guanghua.

Xu Guanghua hurriedly said; "Shopkeeper Li is like this, we dug up some wild vegetables in the mountains, and wanted to ask your restaurant if they would accept it." After speaking, he lifted the back basket behind him, took out a handful of quinoa and handed it to Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li took the quinoa and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then smelled it and didn't smell anything strange before saying, "This.... I don't think I've seen this wild vegetable before, I wonder how did you know that this thing can be eaten, brother? ”

Xu Qingyan knew what Shopkeeper Li was worried about as soon as she heard it, so she said crisply; "Grandpa Li, don't worry, we have fried and eaten this wild vegetable at home, it is not poisonous, and it is delicious."

"Oh, in that case, why don't you go to the back kitchen and make a plate, and I'll decide after I've tasted it?" Although Li Maoqing didn't believe how delicious this unknown wild vegetable was, he thought that his business was getting worse day by day, and if he was pressed down by Fulinmen like this, he was afraid that this century-old store would be ruined.

Maybe today's unknown wild vegetables are an opportunity, an opportunity for the welcome building to come back to life.

"Okay, then wait for the shopkeeper to taste it, and then make a decision." Xu Guanghua said happily

"Li Er, you take this sister-in-law to the back kitchen, if you have any materials you need, just ask the people in the back kitchen." Shopkeeper Li instructed Li Er.

"Yes, shopkeeper." Xu Qingyan went to the back kitchen with Hu Erniang, the kitchen in the welcome building was very large, but there was no busy scene in full swing, there was just a chef slowly stir-frying, and two apprentices washing and cutting vegetables were working carelessly.

The chef was surprised to see a stranger in the kitchen; "Li Er, who are these two? Why did you bring outsiders to the kitchen? ”

"Chef Wang, these two guests were brought over by the shopkeeper, saying that there are new dishes to be made!"

Chef Wang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Oh, new dishes, what new dishes?" "I'm going to come over and see. After Hu Shi nodded to him, he took out a handful of quinoa from the back basket, and then asked Li Erdao; "Little second brother, can there be bacon and chili peppers in this kitchen?"

Before Li Er could answer, Chef Wang hurriedly answered, "Yes, I'll bring it to you." With that, he took out a small piece of bacon and a small handful of dried red peppers from the corner of the kitchen.

After Hu Shi thanked him, he began to cook, first picking the quinoa into sections and cleaning them, washing the bacon and cutting it into thin slices, washing the dried red peppers and cutting them into small rings, and slicing the garlic. Heat the pot, put the oil, add the garlic slices and chili peppers to stir-fry after the oil boils, then put in the bacon, stir-fry evenly, until the bacon changes color. Add the quinoa, stir-fry twice quickly, then season with seasonings and serve.

During the whole cooking process, Chef Wang had been watching from the side, and he had not had much expression before, until after putting in the quinoa, the fragrance overflowing from the pot made his eyes light up. Xu Qingyan didn't think about interfering with his behavior of watching the whole process, after all, the dish of quinoa bacon is actually very simple.

She mainly sells quinoa, as long as others don't know what quinoa originally looks like, as for the practice of quinoa bacon, the more people know the better, so that her quinoa will not worry about sales. Here, the mother and daughter are cooking in an orderly manner, but the lobby is a different scene.

But on Xu Guanghua's side, the shopkeeper asked him to wait in the lobby, because there was no business, so the shopkeeper Li talked with him, asking where he lived, how this year's harvest was, and so on.

It's a pity that he was interrupted by a mocking voice, "Yo, old man Li, why can't the restaurant be opened, now I have such a happy chat with a person who asks for food, is it possible to think that the welcome building will be closed in the future to ask for food!" Don't, if you really don't have a place to go, I can take you in to do a chore, lest you have to go out to ask for food when you are old. Hahaha。。。。。。! ”

"Shao Tianrui, don't go too far, what is Huazi, this is our guest in the Welcome Building."

"Hahaha, I'm laughing at Young Master Ben, the welcome building is now starting to receive Huazi, and it's really going to be turned off."

"Whether my welcome building is closed or not, what are you doing, Young Master Shao is too careful." Shopkeeper Li was said by Shao Tianrui's face was pale.

"It's none of my business, I'm just hanging out and having fun. After watching the excitement, Young Master Ben is too lazy to stay with you, go. With that, he raised his hand and beckoned a few of his men to leave.

Until Shao Tianrui and his party walked away, Shopkeeper Li's anger did not subside, and he was not in the mood to chat with Xu Guanghua at this time. frowned and thought about the way out in the future, did it really close this century-old store. How will you explain to the owner then? Is this restaurant, where he has worked for most of his life, about to die in his hands, Shopkeeper Li is very unwilling, so many years of getting along with him makes him really unable to give up, and the past glory of the restaurant is still vaguely floating in front of him.

Xu Guanghua on the side saw that Shopkeeper Li was frowning and pondering alone, and he didn't want to disturb him, he was a little like sitting on pins and needles for a while, and secretly said in his heart why their mother and daughter hadn't come out yet!

may have heard his call, as soon as he had such a thought, Hu Erniang and Xu Qingyan's mother and daughter came out, followed by the chef in the kitchen, and the chef was still holding a plate in his hand, and on the plate was the quinoa bacon.

"Shopkeeper, here's the food." Li Er opened his mouth from afar.

As soon as the dish was served, the shopkeeper Li smelled a fragrance that had been smelled from the taste, the fragrance was mixed with the fragrance of bacon, and in the eyes of diners who had been destroyed by big fish and meat for a winter, this dish was an irresistible delicacy.

"Shopkeeper Li, please." Chef Wang hurriedly handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Li took it, and first took a chopstick quinoa, and after chewing for a while, his eyes lit up, and the sadness on his face slowly disappeared, replaced with a long-lost smile, and then tasted the bacon with a smile on his face.

"Chef Wang, you can try it too."

"Hey, I was in the kitchen and wanted to try it." After that, he took a pair of chopsticks from the table and began to taste them.

After a moment, Chef Wang couldn't stop nodding. "Well, it's delicious, this dish has both the meaty aroma of bacon and the fragrance of green vegetables."

"By the way, what's the name of this green dish?" Chef Wang only remembered at this time, as if he didn't know what the name of this dish was?

"Artemisia quinoa, we named it Artemisia quinoa, and this dish is called Artemisia quinoa bacon." Hu Erniang hurriedly replied, at this moment she was also very nervous, I don't know if her own food can be valued by the welcome building, although she has eaten it at home, it is indeed delicious, but she is a rural woman in the eyes of the delicious, may not be recognized by the rich who have eaten all the food.

"Well, it's a great dish. What's even more rare is that there is already one at this time, I wonder how much this brother wants to sell for? After tasting it, Shopkeeper Li was also impressed by the taste of this dish, and the most important thing is that it is absolutely rare to be able to eat green vegetables in this season.

"Well, the amount of this wild vegetable is not very much, and it is seasonal, I'm afraid it won't be sold for long, Shopkeeper Li, you should know that scarcity is expensive. Yingbin Building is a century-old restaurant, the reputation has been very good, please give a suitable price. "It's a family that has been negotiated at home.

Xu Qingyan only mentioned the issue of seasonality, and the Xu family had already thought of the selling point of scarcity as expensive, and I have to say that the Xu family is not stupid. Xu Qingyan doesn't want to be in the limelight outside, she just wants to be a low-key person, and it's enough to hide behind her parents and give advice.
