Du Mei turned the fire on the stove, found an open sand bowl, scooped a few spoonfuls of bone broth, added bean fruit, put it on the stove and simmered, after a while, the soup boiled, the golden bean fruit absorbed enough soup, up and down.

Du Mei slowly put the scalded soft vermicelli into the soup, and after seeing the big droplets of water like a fish bubble emerging from the side of the sand bowl, he hurriedly spread the cut duck blood and heart, liver and sausage evenly on it, and then used both hands, sprinkled with minced peppers, minced green onions, minced coriander, sesame seeds, a little salt, poured hot sesame oil, and finally directly moved the boiling sand bowl to the wooden tray.

Burn this bowl soup, the most particular eye disease is fast, boiling soup boiling water, vermicelli is easy to lump, duck lo-mei are cooked, in the hot fire, what is grabbed is just the delicious taste of the ingredients blending and colliding in an instant, if the time is big, the taste will turn from prosperity to decline, as if a Qingling girl turned into a bloated woman in an instant, and it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food.

The shopkeeper Dong was turning his back and wrestling with the drunken guests, and suddenly a rich aroma wafted over, this taste is very unique, with the heaviness of the big bone broth, and mixed with a little depth of lo-mei, but on top of this there is a refreshing and mellow taste.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look, and saw the guy trotting in with a wooden tray, and the soup in the sand bowl was still bubbling! "This is the only one of our restaurants today, welcome to taste it." Du Mei followed closely and said with a smile.

"What is this?" The fragrance was so tempting that the man with a straight face couldn't help but flick his chopsticks.

"Of course it's delicious, you only know it after eating it, and there's nothing else to do with this one." At the moment, Du Mei didn't believe he could hold back.

The man used chopsticks to pry open the green onion and coriander, and the deep fresh fragrance went straight to the end of his nose, he sniffed hard, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of duck liver and stuff it into his mouth, which was soft and glutinous, and instantly melted between his lips and tongue.

"Delicious, delicious, quick, quick!" The man beckoned to his friend as he again stretched out his chopsticks impatiently.

Du Mei glanced at Dong Chang, and the two walked away one after the other.

"How did you do it, so fast!" Dong Chang asked in a low voice, as soon as he was still stubborn and compensated with others, Du Mei appeared to save the scene.

"It's not too fast, if you want to eat this bite, you have to start in the morning......" Du Mei laughed silently at him.

At the end of the day, the guests were finally gone, cleaning the kitchen, cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, although the cook and the guys were very tired, but everyone was very happy, talking about the hot scene of the day, all of them were full of praise for Du Mei's cooking skills.

Du Mei stood at the door of the restaurant and looked around, she was worried about the fat steward, it was said that he would go out early in the morning, and he should have come back by this time, and the goods in the slaughterhouse were very popular.

"Owner, you've been waiting for more than half an hour standing on the cold wind outlet, you're a girl's family, you're single, not to mention that you're tired enough today." Dong Chang stepped forward to persuade.

"I don't know what the situation is going on there, I'm really anxious, I won't come back at this time, I'm up and down in my heart." Du Mei turned around and sat down next to the table, she regretted it a little, was she too impatient?

"When it was not dark, didn't you let Shi go out to inquire, thinking that he was fast, and he should have a letter in a while." Dong Chang poured her a glass of water and comforted.

"I hope so." Du Mei held the teacup, his heart was impetuous, staring at the constantly jumping lights.

The cook and the guys left after they were busy, Dong Chang wanted to stay and wait, but he was also persuaded by Du Mei to leave, Lin Ying couldn't stand it, and took a nap on the table, Du Mei was afraid that she would freeze, so she stuffed the small stove she was holding in her arms.

The charcoal fire in the house became whiter and whiter, and as soon as Du Mei took the charcoal and added it, she heard the sound of the car wheeling in the distance outside the house, and in the middle of the night, it was inconvenient for her to open the door to check, but she just listened quietly.

"Widows? Widows! It's us back! The stone saw the light leaking from under the crack in the door, and stepped forward to pat the doorway.

There was a "bang", and Du Mei pulled the door open with force: "Why have you been delayed for so long?!" ”

"Boss, I've bought beef and mutton!" The fat butler ran up and said excitedly.

"Come in and have a fire." Du Mei saw that they all had red noses, and his tone softened, and he was too anxious.

The guys who followed unloaded all the beef and mutton on the car, the people were noisy, Lin Ying woke up, she was busy in the kitchen to help Du Mei make noodles, everyone's bowl was covered with a piece of braised beef, and there were two poached eggs lying underneath.

A group of people walked hungry in the cold wind, and each of them had a bowl of hot noodles at this time, and they ate warm and full. After everyone finished eating, seeing that the hour was not early, they did not plan to go home and disturb the family, so they put together a table in the private room and fell asleep.

Du Mei settled everyone, and then went to the back hall with Lin Ying to rest, she was too tired today, she lay down and fell asleep.

The night was dreamless, the sky was bright, and the sound of chattering came from outside the restaurant, Du Mei turned over and got up, put on his clothes, and came to the front hall with some puzzlement.

"What's going on?" The fellow who slept in the private room and the fat butler got up, and Durmela asked one of the guys.

"Our business is good these days, and the vendors who sell chicken, duck and fish are rushing to deliver to the door, and they are all waiting outside for the steward to weigh them." The young man said with sparkling eyes.

"I see, you go get busy." Du Mei breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to let him go.

The guy went to help, Du Mei didn't go out, she turned back to the back hall, Lin Ying uncovered her hair, saw Du Mei packing up her clothes, and asked in surprise: "What is this...... What's wrong? ”

"Okay, our restaurant is fine now, today February 14th, I should go back to pick up Lin Dai and them to come to the county to try." Du Mei stopped and smiled.

"Gee, I forgot all about that." Lin Ying touched her head a little embarrassed.

Du Mei packed up her baggage and had breakfast in the kitchen room, Dong Chang knew that she was leaving, hung his hand, and said with some hesitation: "In the future, there will be three new signature dishes in the restaurant." ”

"Ducks are cool, do less in the spring, and then focus on promotion in summer and autumn, as for the bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, six ducks only get one, after all, the ingredients are rare, if others ask, or push it." Du Mei ate the red bean porridge and said slowly.

"Well, can the chicken dumplings be changed to bone broth as a base in the future?" Dong Chang thought about it and asked.

"This, you mainly depend on the preferences of diners, it doesn't mean that it has to be the same, what to eat in what season, the reason is the same, draw inferences from one another." Du Mei doesn't want a shopkeeper who follows the rules, as long as it's good for the restaurant, it doesn't hurt to try more dishes.

"This ...... Boss, won't you come in the future? When Dong Chang heard this, he seemed to be about to deliver it all, and he suddenly felt a little lost. They had just overcome the predicament together, and now she was leaving.

"With you in charge of the restaurant, I am naturally relieved, and the business will be smooth and the business will be booming, so I don't need to come often." Du Mei ate the last bite of porridge and stood up.

"But we ......," Dong Chang muttered helplessly.

"Don't worry, you can make a drunken immortal building, what is my small restaurant!" Du Mei smiled lightly.

"Do you have to be free or come often...... It's okay to come once every half a month, I always have to report the bill. Dong Chang was a little moved, moved by Du Mei's frank trust.

"It's okay, but I don't care what day I am, I'll come when I come." Du Mei will be busy in the future, but he can't set his day.

"You just have to come, we are all looking forward to you, and I will help you save the money from the restaurant in the future." I have made a lot of money in the past few days, and looking at this posture, I am afraid that it will be more prosperous in the future.

"The big guys have worked hard in the past few days, and the salary has been increased by one percent, and those who went to buy beef and mutton yesterday will be given an extra half a penny per person, so I will say that I thank them." Du Mei took his baggage and walked out.

"Boss, go slowly!"

"Owner, come often, let's try the dishes together!"

When the cooks saw that she was leaving, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered around to talk.

"Big guy do a good job, what are the new dish ideas and tell the shopkeeper Dong, there are many ingredients in the kitchen, don't be afraid of waste, just try, we will have a beautiful life in the future!" Dumay shook his hand goodbye to them.

The horse's hooves were obtained, the snow on the road had long been gone, and the ground was dry, and the stone drove the carriage, and soon returned to Dujiagou, and walked to the Yixue Hall of the Scrap Manuscript Family, Du Mei got out of the car and went in, and the stone went home alone.

"Uncle Scrap." Du Mei saw the scrap manuscript standing in the room with her on her back, so she screamed.

"Meizi, you're back, I heard Guizi say that you went to Qinghe County a few days ago, and I'm worried." The scrap manuscript turned around and said in surprise.

"Tomorrow is the day of the county exam, I'm definitely going back, how are things going?" Du Mei asked with a smile.

"Our Yixue has been running for a short time, and only three people have been reported this year, Lin Dai, Du Chun, and Qian Xiaobao from Chen Qian Village." When he talked about his students, his face was full of joy.

"Aunt Zhang's little Tsubaki? Didn't he drop his arm and not delay class? Hearing the names of the three children, Du Mei was a little surprised.

"Hey, that's what Aunt Zhang wants her son to try, in my opinion, the three of them, Lin Dai's homework is the best, and there is still some hope, if Du Jie can be here, the two of them can always take one." The scrapped manuscript sighed silently.

Du Jie followed Sanjin to study at the scrap manuscript house for not a day or two, and he went to the school in the county seat at this time, and he was no longer his student.

"We want to drive it ourselves, don't worry if we can't pass the exam, it's good to be able to see it, Ming'er will send them there in my carriage, and the road will be faster." Du Mei is not so utilitarian, after all, Yixue has only been open for more than half a year, if someone is admitted, of course, it is the best, if not, it is not a big deal.

"I'm just waiting for your words, only your two carriages in the village are the fastest." Scrap the manuscript laughed, Du Mei's words spoke to his heart.

"Then set off tomorrow and let the children of Chenqian Village wait in Yixue." Du Mei calculated the time, and when she went, she had to queue up, assign the exam shed, and then conduct a routine body search, so busy and terrible, she couldn't settle down for half an hour.

"Okay, it's decided, Lin Dai also needs to prepare well." Although Lin Dai is the son of a long-term worker in Dumei Villa, the scrap manuscript has never been in the eyes of a layman, he only feels that he is very hardworking and smart, so he likes it in his heart.

"I know." Du Mei nodded.

The county examination is divided into three sessions every year, each for three days, and during these three days, you have to eat, drink, and sleep in the examination booth, so there are many and miscellaneous things to prepare, from pen, ink, paper, inkstone, to bedding and food, everything must be prepared in advance.
