Chapter 222: Please give way
Let's say that the old grandson recommended ducks in Wu Town that day, Lin Xiaozhu was very interested and asked, "Uncle Sun, do you know which duck in this town is delicious?" ”
"Liu Ji in the west of the town is a century-old brand, passed down for four generations, and now the craftsmanship is getting better and better. If the girl really wants to eat duck, she might as well go there and try it. The old grandson said on the wheel.
Lin Xiaozhu was very happy when he heard this: "Okay, then let's go to Liu Ji to eat duck." ”
She traveled back in time to ancient times, and her biggest dream was to walk around and taste the local delicacies. But under Yuan Tianye's hands, he has been working for three and a half years, and the dishes he carefully makes are all served to others, and he eats the meals prepared for his subordinates in the big kitchen. Although she hasn't made any money yet, it's not her ideal time to have money and leisure, but she is free anyway, and she has more than a thousand taels of silver on her body.
Lao Sun Tou had also brought guests to Liu Ji before, but he was also familiar with the car, and after a while, the carriage stopped in the open space in front of Liu Ji.
Lin Xiaozhu got out of the car, looked up, and saw that on the wine banner on a building, there were really two words "Liu Ji" written in big words. The appearance of the restaurant is relatively old, but the area is not small. There are a lot of people coming in and out of the door, and it seems that business is really good.
"That's Liu Ji. His business here has always been booming. Old Sun Tou took a bucket from the car and prepared to go to Liu Ji to ask for some water to drink the horse.
"Well, then I'll go in first." Lin Xiaozhu raised his feet and walked over there. She went to order food, and waited for the food to be served, and the old grandson happened to drink the horse, and then brought some forage for the horse to eat, and he went to the restaurant to sit down after he was busy, and the food happened to be served over there. These two days have come down. This is how the two of them cooperate, which is very trouble-saving and time-saving.
Entering the door, Lin Xiaozhu glanced indoors. Seeing that the furnishings inside are extremely clean and tidy, it is the restaurant at this time, and most of the seats in the restaurant are already occupied. A few juniors were so busy there that they didn't touch the ground, and they didn't have time to greet the guests. Lin Xiaozhu had to find an empty table by himself. Sit down.
"Guest, what do you want to eat?" A junior finally had time to greet Lin Xiaozhu.
"What's the food?" Lin Xiaozhu asked.
There are too many illiterate people in this era, so there are no recipes in the restaurant at all. What dishes there are, it all depends on Xiao Er's mouth to introduce. Xiao Er's announcement of the name of the dish is like singing, which is both fresh and interesting in Lin Xiaozhu's ears.
After listening to the names of the dishes reported by Xiao Er with satisfaction, Lin Xiaozhu said: "Yiliang roast duck." Duck rack to boil soup, then a vegetarian fried cocoon, a fried greens. Two large bowls of japonica rice. ”
"Guest officer, we don't boil soup on the duck rack here. However, the duck is served with mushroom vegetables and pea sprout soup. ”
"Now that the soup is ready, then don't boil." Lin Xiaozhu said.
"Okay, wait a minute." Xiao Er turned around and went.
Lin Xiaozhu poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, listening to the small talk of the guests next to him.
“…… You don't know, there are three of them in the house, but I heard that there are good food and drinks in the house. These girls have no roots. The woman accepted her fate, and the relatives outside got another silver tael, so they stopped making trouble. So although that person did something out of the ordinary, it didn't make a big mess. ”
"Don't you care, big lord?"
"Alas. The eldest man wanted to take care of it, but as soon as he took care of it, the old lady cried and shouted, saying that it was such a lifeline, and he wanted to beat him to the board, so it was better to beat her to death first, and the heart was pure. In addition, there was no big mess in robbing these three, and the big man turned a blind eye. ”
It seems that there is another drama of robbing the people's daughters here. Lin Xiaozhu sighed when he heard this. There are such stories in any era!
"Uncle Sun, here." She raised her eyes and saw that the old grandson was standing at the door, and hurriedly shouted. The person next to her heard this crisp cry and turned his head to look at her.
Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly buried his head and stuck out his tongue. Her voice is already crisp, even if she lowers her voice, she can't pretend to be a man.
"It's okay, I didn't lose time." The old grandson walked across from her, sat down and smiled.
"Guest, your dish is here." At this time, Xiao Er also brought the dishes.
Lin Xiaozhu saw that the good duck was reddish-brown, and there was a fragrance in his nose, and his index finger suddenly moved. As usual, he pulled out a small half of his bowl of rice and gave it to the old grandson, then picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in pepper and salt, and put it in his mouth.
In the mouth, there is a salty aroma of pepper and salt, accompanied by a honey sweetness. The skin is crispy, the meat is crispy and soft, sweet and tender from the bones, and the color is delicious and delicious. It has a different flavor than the Peking duck eaten in the previous life. What's even more special is that after a little chewing, the duck meat is filled with the fragrance of pine needles. In addition to this, there is a delicate fragrance......
"Hey, besides the scent of pine needles, what else does it smell like?" Lin Xiaozhu frowned and savored it. Although her tongue is sharp, she can taste it. But if she had never tasted it before, there was no way to know what it was.
She raised her eyes and looked at the old grandson inquiringly.
The old grandson waved his hand again and again, and said with a simple smile: "Don't ask me." The little old man knows that it is delicious, but he doesn't know where it is delicious. ”
"Little two." Lin Xiaozhu beckoned.
"Guest, please wait." The little second was busy serving the dishes on the other table, and when he had all the dishes, he ran over and asked, "Guest officer, what are your orders?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu pointed at the duck with chopsticks: "What kind of raw material do you use to cook your duck with pine needles?" It tastes like a mouthful. ”
"This ...... This guest officer, I'm really sorry, our duck's practice is passed down from the ancestors of the Liu family. Except for the Liu family, no one else knew what he was doing, so he couldn't help it. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just curious. Just when I didn't ask. Lin Xiaozhu saw that the people next to him turned their heads to look at him, and hurriedly apologized with a smile.
This is ancient times, although it is an alternate era, but the customs are still very similar to ancient China. Craftsmen keep their crafts secret, and it is easy to keep them open. Unlike modern times, if there are any good things and good experiences, they like to publish them on the Internet and share them with others. It is also very common for guests in a restaurant to come up and ask the chef or waiter about the recipe when they have eaten well.
Eating something delicious, but not knowing how to make it, made Lin Xiaozhu feel really uncomfortable. remembered that the old man gave her the recipe, and there was no record of this duck recipe. She was both regretful and a little inexplicably excited. It's also a challenge to have the opportunity to discover new recipes that no one knows before!
But isn't it unethical? It's also an intellectual property. If your secret recipe is heard by others, you will naturally be very unhappy. Do not want to do to others. Now it seems very inappropriate to find out other people's secret recipes yourself.
But I really want to know what it tastes like! The other she shouted.
There was a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and the delicious duck ate into Lin Xiaozhu's mouth, and some of the food became tasteless.
She ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, stood up and said, "Uncle Sun, you wait for me here, I'll go to the shopkeeper to discuss something." ”
"Oh." The old grandson looked at her worriedly, opened his mouth to try to persuade her, but after all, he didn't say anything, and buried his head to eat.
Under the guidance of Xiao Er, Lin Xiaozhu found the shopkeeper and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, I know a duck method, which is different from your roast duck, but the taste is the same delicious." I'll trade it for your duck's practice, okay? ”
The shopkeeper looked her up and down, waved his hand like a fly, and said, "If the girl is here for dinner, we welcome it." But if you want to ask about the secret recipe, then you don't have to. I'm telling you, no matter what you think, it's useless. My family's secret recipe will not be passed on. After saying that, he lowered his head and began to calculate again.
In the first place, how did the old man get the recipe in that book? Lin Xiaozhu sighed, very frustrated. Why is it so disadvantageous as soon as he leaves the school?
She turned around and walked back in a sullen manner, but as soon as she entered the door, she almost bumped into a man.
"What's going on? Don't you have long eyes when you walk? Before she could see the other party clearly, the other party scolded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly apologized and wanted to continue walking towards the restaurant.
"Amin, it's because you don't have long eyes, but you blame others. It's really unruly, go back and kneel for me. Another voice rang out. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaozhu's eyes flickered, and she felt that someone was standing in front of her, blocking her way.
She frowned and lifted her eyes.
The other party was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man, with decent facial features, but those eyes looked Lin Xiaozhu up and down, which made her extremely uncomfortable. Before Lin Xiaozhu could speak, the man made a gesture and said with a smile: "Girl, my family collided with you, and I am here to compensate you for him." ”
"Don't dare." Lin Xiaozhu leaned sideways and said indifferently, "If there is nothing else, please borrow it." ”
The man stood in the doorway, but did not move, and smiled. "I heard the girl tell the shopkeeper just now, I want to know how to make this roast duck? I know a thing or two, I wonder if the girl wants to hear it? ”
"Oh? Want to know how? What if you don't want to know? Lin Xiaozhu glanced at him and asked.
The man raised his eyebrows: "If you want to know, let's find another secluded place, and let me tell the girl in detail." ”
Lin Xiaozhu smiled when he heard this, and said coldly: "No need. Since this roast duck is the ancestral secret recipe of the Liu family, how can a foreigner know about Gongzi? Please also ask my son to let go, my family should be in a hurry over there. ”
The man was stunned when he saw Lin Xiaozhu's sweet smile. was pulled by the sleeve of his shirt by the person next to him, and then he came back to his senses and said, "How does the girl know that I am an outsider?" Actually, I can't say if I'm an insider. After speaking, he glanced at Lin Xiaozhu with his eyes again.
Lin Xiaozhu was given goosebumps by his pretentious glance. I was impatient at the moment, and said in a loud voice: "This son, please let go." (To be continued)
