Chapter 7: The Blessing Gate is Rejected
After picking the quinoa, the family hurriedly rushed back, because they came out early, most of the villagers were still in the bed when they went back.
When they got home, the family began to divide and cooperate, Cao made breakfast, Xu Guangqi and his wife, Xu Guanghua and his wife were responsible for picking leaves, Xu Qingyan was responsible for cleaning, and Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen were responsible for drying the washed quinoa. Xu Qingyan bundled the artemisia quinoa that had been dried up one by one, so that it would be more convenient when it was sold.
After breakfast, Xu Guanghua and his wife took Xu Qingyan to the county seat, and there was a reason for this arrangement. This dish is currently only made by the Hu family, and the Hu family is more familiar with the process, if the Hu family wants to go, it can't be accompanied by the uncle Xu Guangqi, so it must be accompanied by Xu Guanghua, as for Xu Qingyan, of course, it is her own request.
She also thought that if the quinoa was sold for money, she would have to let her mother take out a little to buy a brush, otherwise when would her talisman making plan begin.
Because of time problems, only twenty catties of quinoa can be handled, and Xu Guanghua can carry it alone.
Xi County is nearly 20 miles away from Beishan Village, there is a Mei Town in the middle, only ten miles away from Beishan Village, it is said to be a town, but in fact, it is just that everyone chooses a market day to exchange daily necessities here. If you want to say that the items are complete, you still have to go to the county seat and the capital city.
The family hurried away, and finally saw the city gate of Xi County after half an hour.
After entering the city, Xu Guanghua took his wife and children straight to the largest restaurant in the county, "Fulinmen", Xu Guanghua and Xu Guangqi brothers often look for work in the county when they are not working, so they are quite familiar with the county. I have long heard how hot the business of the largest restaurant in the county "Fu Linmen" is, but I didn't expect that today they will also go to the first restaurant in the county to see and see.
Fulinmen is located on East Street, and the shops on this street are mostly some gold and silver shops, restaurants, and antique shops, which are the places that rich people love to visit.
Xu Qingyan found that since they stepped into Dongjie, they had received many strange glances. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I look at the clothes of the people around me, all of them are silk and satin, and the inferior ones are also fine cotton brocade cloth, all of which are clean and bright. There are very few like them, although the clothes are clean, but after years of wear, the color has been washed white, and occasionally a patch or two hangs brightly on the clothes.
Regardless of the strange eyes of others, the family continued to move towards their goal, hoping that the quinoa that they had brought hope to their family's life.
But the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. There is always a person in the world who respects Luo Yi first and then respects people, and the existence of customers in the store.
Just came to the door of Fulin, I saw a row of six doors wide open, three-room high restaurant standing in front of you, in this ancient county town where buildings are scarce, there is undoubtedly the existence of standing out from the crowd.
The restaurant as a whole is vermilion, and a black gilded flat forehead hangs on the second floor. The three gilded characters on the top "Fu Linmen" shine brightly in the sun. Look at this momentum, it really lives up to the name of "the first restaurant" in Xi County
The front of the restaurant has already been sprinkled and cleaned, and it is only about ten o'clock in the morning. But the guys in the restaurant have already started to get busy back and forth, preparing for the noon welcome.
As soon as the family walked to the door of the restaurant, a guy came out, glanced at the clothes of the Xu family, and the smile on his face immediately turned into an angry look.
"Go and go, where is the name Hanako, the food is going to be here, the interested ones hurry away, don't disturb the nobles to eat." Xiao Er drove away the Xu family with a look of disgust.
Xu Guanghua had a hot temper and a good face, and was driven away by this little two, his face was already red with anger at this time, and he wanted to turn around and leave. Hu Erniang next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, we have some fresh dishes here, see if you can ask the shopkeeper to come out and palm your eyes to see if these things can be used." ”
Hu Erniang is much more active than Xu Guanghua, and in a poor life, some face can be given up.
The little second glanced at the back basket behind Xu Guanghua, and the green that flashed at that glance made him intuitively feel that it was some wild vegetables in the countryside, and besides, at this time, the wild vegetables have not come out yet. Who knows where the family got a few weeds and came here to sell them. If the shopkeeper is notified, there will be a good scolding afterwards, and it is better to quickly blow the family away.
"Hmph, what kind of rural vulgar things, dare to get here, in case there is a problem with eating people, you hillbillies can bear it! Get out of here. ”
Hu Shi wanted to say a few more words, Xu Qingyan pulled her sleeve and said, "Mother, forget it, let's go, this is not good, our family can also go to other places to see." ”
This little two made it clear that they wouldn't report it, and they had been pulling outside the door for so long, and they hadn't seen anyone else come out, so presumably the other people in this restaurant or the shopkeeper also looked down on them or what they brought. That being the case, why waste time here, it's better to go to another restaurant and have a look.
The three of them left FLM and continued to search for their next target on East Street.
"Dad, which is the second largest restaurant in this county?" Xu Qingyan thought that Fu Linmen didn't want it, but don't blame the opponent she gave it. Since ancient times, peers have been enemies, not to mention the first and second.
"Well, it seems that I heard that it is the welcome building, the welcome building is said to be an old restaurant in Xi County, which has been open for nearly a hundred years. Since Fu Linmen invited a chef from the capital, the welcome building has been suppressed. ”
"Oh, is it because it doesn't taste as good as Fulinmen?" Xu Qingyan was puzzled, she had to figure out the reason why Yingbin Lou was suppressed by Fulinmen, and know that she knew the other in order to not slack off.
"This, my father hasn't eaten it either, how do I know this, but I've heard people talk about it, it seems that it's because the dishes in Fulinmen are newer and more than the welcome building."
Xu Qingyan smiled when she heard this, the welcome building can stand tall in Xi County for nearly a hundred years, and the taste will naturally not be bad, but it is not as good as the Fulinmen who came from the capital and has seen the world.
But this is more beneficial to them, isn't quinoa bacon a ready-made new dish, and it will make Fu Linmen regret that today's dog eyes are low.
The three of them walked along East Street for a while, and only at the end of East Street did they see the legendary Second Welcome Building.
First of all, the welcome building is better than the boundary of Fu Lin Gate from the geographical location, Fu Lin Gate is in the middle of the East Street, and the Ying Lin Building is at the end of the street. And from the appearance, the welcome building may have been in business for a long time, and the appearance looks much older than Fulinmen, and the building is only two stories high.
At this time, it is close to noon, it is the peak of dining, but there are not many guests in front of the welcome building, although it is not so crowded, but it is not in line with the reputation of the second restaurant in Xi County.
As soon as the Xu family walked to the door of the welcome building, a little two came up. glanced at the three people's clothes, but their smiles did not change.
"The guest officer, please, there is still a vacant seat by the window, I don't know what the guest officer thinks."
Xu Guanghua was a little at a loss and said: "The second brother is not busy, we are not here to eat, we want to find the shopkeeper to see, whether to accept the dishes we brought." ”
Xiao Er looked at the back basket behind Xu Guanghua when he heard this, he didn't pay attention to it at first, thinking it was an empty back basket, but now he looked at it carefully, but found that there was indeed a silky green color coming out of the crack in the back basket.
When he heard that he was not here to eat, Xiao Er was a little disappointed, but he still said with a good attitude: "Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll help you report it." ”
After saying that, she turned around and went in, Xu Qingyan secretly praised in her heart when she saw this, it was really a century-old store, and the service attitude alone made people praise it.
It didn't take long for Xiao Er, who had just entered, to come out, followed by an old man in his fifties. Although the old man's body looks very tough, but there is a little gray hair on his sideburns, Xu Qingyan guessed that this shopkeeper must be worried about business like this, a century-old shop, and it fell to this point overnight, and everyone has to be anxious.
