Chapter 172: Stone Cauliflower
"Shaved ice is the new food on this sweet island." The man smiled softly, and no longer explained to the woman, but walked to the counter and said to Xia Yan, "Shopkeeper Xia, bring me a grape-flavored shaved ice, and ......."
The man looked down and thought for a moment, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at the woman and asked, "Madam, what flavor do you like?" There are grapes, strawberries, watermelons ......"
When the woman heard a bunch of things in her husband's newspaper that she had never heard of, she couldn't help but blush, and lowered her head, "Xianggong, I only know apples and watermelons, so I want a watermelon flavor." ”
Seeing that the two had already decided, Xia Yan took out two portions of shaved ice from the back kitchen according to their requirements and put them in front of the two.
The man had been here many times, so he was naturally familiar with the road, and he did not hesitate to take a bite of shaved ice, and suddenly it was as if the whole person had been sublimated, and he enjoyed it.
The woman looked curiously at the bowl of shaved ice poured with watermelon juice, and followed her husband's example, scooped a spoonful and ate it.
"Ahh The woman couldn't help but sigh, "It's so cool! ”
"Ma'am, now you know how good things are on Sweet Isle." The man looked proud, "This summer is much hotter than usual, fortunately I found such a good place, otherwise I really don't know how to survive this summer." ”
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The woman ate intoxicatedly, and didn't hear what her husband was saying, but just casually agreed.
"Hey." The man suddenly had a sense of loss of being abandoned, how could he have shaved ice, and his wife didn't even have the kung fu to take care of himself?
In order to get rid of the heat of the body as soon as possible, the two endured the headache of the ice, and quickly ate the shaved ice, and the woman smiled at Xia Yan unsatisfactorily: "Shopkeeper Xia, I still want a strawberry, take it away and eat." Don't worry, you don't need to give this one, I'll pay for it. ”
"No, you don't." Xia Yan refused with a smile, and brought out another one, "I still invited a few bowls of shaved ice." ”
The woman looked grateful, picked up the shaved ice and took a blue umbrella, handed the umbrella money to Xia Yan, and then walked out with her husband.
"Xianggong." The moment before stepping out of the door, the woman suddenly looked at her husband with affection, "Will you still come with me tomorrow, can we come every day?" ”
"Madam, don't you think it's hot, don't you like the sun?" The man was full of doubts, before she came, she was reluctant to follow, how could she be conquered with a bowl of shaved ice?
You must know that his wife hates the summer sun very much, if he didn't drag it today, I'm afraid she won't go out this summer, although this shaved ice is delicious and relieves the heat, but how can it have such a great charm, can make a person who doesn't want to go out in the summer suddenly change his mind?
"With the sunscreen umbrella of Shopkeeper Xia's house, I am not afraid of the sun." The woman pointed to the umbrella in her hand.
"But on such a hot day, you can't always run down the street, what if you get a tan."
"Isn't it that you're afraid that I'll be suffocated at home, so you want to pull me out for a break" The woman frowned, "Say, are you someone outside, and you want to carry me behind my back to mess with a little lover?" ”
"Madam, you are wronged." The man looked aggrieved, "I'm really afraid that you're hot, if you want to eat, I'll come to buy it for you every day, okay?" ”
"Not good." The woman's face was suddenly full of shyness, she lowered her head, and muttered in a low voice, "I want to be with you, just like when we first got married, inseparable." ”
The woman's voice was very small, but it was still heard by the man, and he suddenly warmed his heart, his attitude softened, and he smiled: "Since you want to come, then I will accompany you until you are tired of it." ”
"Hmm."
The two snuggled sweetly together and walked out of the door, and at the moment of going out, the woman gave Xia Yan a grateful look and said softly: "Thank you." ”
Xia Yan calmly accepted the woman's thanks, and she was very relieved to see with her own eyes that a couple had improved their relationship because of shaved ice.
Not long after the two of them went out, Fu Duozhi was full of excitement and hurriedly ran in.
Seeing this, Xia Yan knew that she had an idea of what she had told him before, so she invited Xiaohu who was staying in the back kitchen to take her place, and took Fu Duozhi to the corner of the house.
"Miss Yan'er, what you asked me to find is really hard to find." Fu Duozhi was sweating profusely, wiping it from time to time, but he still couldn't stop the sweat from dripping down.
Xia Yan saw his uncomfortable appearance, and hurriedly beckoned Xiaohu to bring him a bowl of shaved ice, Fu Duozhi happily took it, hurriedly took a bite, and exclaimed: "Cool!" ”
"Uncle Fu, although it is difficult to find something, I guess you must have found it." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Miss Yan'er, I originally wanted to surprise you." Seeing that Xia Yan guessed, Fu Duozhi was a little disappointed, but it was important to say that the business was important, so he hurriedly cheered up, "Fortunately, you met me, if you were someone else, you really wouldn't know what this stone cauliflower was." There is no such thing as the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, or when I traveled to Qingzhou ten years ago, I listened to the fishermen there on the beach. ”
"Uncle Fu, you are well-informed, Yan Er admires you." Xia Yan finished patting his ass and looked at Fu Duozhi with anticipation, "Then you can help me get this stone cauliflower?" ”
"Got it, got it." Fu Duozhi took another bite of shaved ice, "We are not too far away from Qingzhou, the people I sent have already transported some back, you use them first, if it is not enough, I will send someone to get it." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Fu." Xia Yan hurriedly thanked him.
"What are you polite to me?" Fu Duozhi smiled, and then showed a curious look, "Yan'er, what do you want stone cauliflower for?" No one wants this thing in Qingzhou at all, and there is nowhere to buy it if you want to, but I specially asked someone to get it from the sea. ”
"People in Qingzhou don't eat cauliflower?" Xia Yan really felt a little strange, she thought that only inland people had never eaten cauliflower, but along the coast of Qingzhou, this thing grew everywhere, and they didn't eat it?
"Can I eat this?" Fu Duozhi was stunned, "It's so ugly, how can you eat it?" ”
"You can eat it cold." Xia Yan smiled, "Ugly is ugly, but the taste is good, and it is a suitable food for summer." That's it, Uncle Fu, I'll write you a recipe later, and you can ask Zhao Erzhao to make you some cold stone cauliflower, you can just eat a bite, and maybe you can add a new dish to your Ruyi Zhai. ”
"Thank you so much, Miss Yan'er." Fu Duozhi was excited, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
As for the questioning of Xia Yan, he didn't have any of it, she said it was delicious, then it must be delicious.
After getting along with Xia Yan for so many years, she has never let herself down, and I believe it will not be this time.
"Miss Yan'er, do you want to eat so many stone cauliflowers?" Although he knew that this might involve Xia Yan's trade secrets, Fu Duozhi still asked the question in his heart, "Your sweet island still sells cold dishes?" ”
He really couldn't figure it out, didn't she say that Sweet Island sells desserts before, why didn't she start selling cold dishes in a few days? Could it be that in a few days, she will open a restaurant and come out?
If this is the case, then the location of the first restaurant in Qin County may have to be given to her.
Although Ruyi Zhai has Zhao Er, Zhao Er is an apprentice taught by Xia Yan after all, and he can only use those few hands, if he fights for cooking skills, he is really not an opponent.
What should he do when Ruyi Zhai and Sweet Island face each other?
Thinking of this, Fu Duozhi suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and the expression on his face slowly stiffened
"No, cold stone cauliflower is a recipe specially thought of for Ruyi Zhai, and Sweet Island doesn't do this." Xia Yan saw the worry on Fu Duozhi's face, and comforted, "Uncle Fu, don't worry, I have no plans to open a restaurant in the near future." Besides, even if I open it, what will I do to fight with your Ruyi Chamber of Commerce? ”
Xia Yan is not all about comforting Fu Duozhi, she really has no intention of opening a restaurant, after all, these four shops are enough for her, plus a restaurant, she is afraid that she will not be able to be busy.
It's not that Xia Yan doesn't have confidence in himself, but it's not so easy to open a good restaurant in Qin County.
Open a food store and recipe, that is, open the door when people get up early to buy groceries, and close the door before dinner.
It is normal to open a restaurant in Qin County, open at the end of the day, and close at the end of the day, and there is only two hours of rest every day, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.
If any of the owners are willful, opening late or closing early, within a few days, the customers will run out.
There is no way, people in Qin County eat so differently, even if they are full of dinner, go out to have fun and have fun, and come back to continue to eat a supper, four meals a day are less.
Xia Yan sighed more than once, it is right to make money by opening a shop in Qin County, but few people can know the hardship.
She had already decided that as long as the system did not issue the task of letting her open a restaurant and restaurant, she would never reach out in this direction, and she didn't want to go home at all because of the days when she left early and couldn't go home late.
"Ahem." Fu Duozhi cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Yan'er, I didn't mean that, if you open a restaurant, the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce will have one more helper, it's too late to be happy, how can I fight with you?" ”
"Okay, Uncle Fu, I know what you mean." Xia Yan smiled, "To be honest, I'm not interested in opening any restaurant at all, I just want this stone cauliflower to make a dessert." ”
Hearing Xia Yan's repeated assurances, Fu Duozhi finally put his mind at ease, his attention returned to the stone cauliflower, and asked curiously: "Can vegetables still be used as desserts?" Do what? Is sugar mixed with cauliflower? ”
Fu Duozhi imagined the taste of sugar in the stone cauliflower in his heart, and couldn't help frowning: "Yan'er, I didn't say it, I'm afraid this thing won't be delicious if you put sugar on it." ”
"What if I add some almonds?" Xia Yan smiled slightly.
