Chapter 081: The Outer Boy
It will take a while for the seafood matter to come to fruition, Lin Xia is not in a hurry, first he and Lei Biao went to Yaohai City's Yaxing, ready to buy some manpower, after all, there are too few maids and maids at home, once the family wants to hold a banquet, no one will call, last time Xiao Xu'er and Xiao Chen'er's full moon wine was in a hurry, many ladies and ladies who came to the house looked down on Lei Mansion, not to mention that the mansion was small, and there was not even a maid to call.
It was only at that time that Lin Xia realized that this was ancient times, as their family property accumulated, their business became bigger and bigger, and they got acquainted with more and more people, the faΓ§ade of this Lei Mansion still had to be decorated, and if they showed it to others, they would inevitably be disgusted.
Came to the tooth shop in Yaohai City, this tooth shop is twice as big as the tooth shop in Jimo City, and as soon as he came to the door, the guy came up to greet him with a smile, "What do you two want to buy?" β
"The maid and the maid." Lei Biao said bluntly.
The man's eyes lit up, "The two of you have just moved to Yaohai City, what are your requirements, I will bring them immediately." β
Lei Biao only said his age, and there were no other requirements.
The man hurriedly called out forty or fifty boys, and Lei Biao selected fifteen boys from them; Later, he called out forty or fifty girls, and Lei Biao asked Lin Xia to choose, and he also picked fifteen girls.
Seeing that Lin Xia had picked someone, Lei Biao glanced at the agarwood behind Lin Xia and asked, "Madame, do you want to buy more than one personal maid to take care of?" If there is only agarwood, I am afraid that she will not be able to take care of it. β
Lin Xia said casually, "It's okay, go back and let Agarwood train well, and choose one of them who performs well to follow me." β
Lei Biao didn't say much, he bought two more chefs from Xiao Er, and then paid the silver money, and asked the tooth shop to send all the people back to the house.
Out of the teeth, looked up at the sky, lowered his head and touched his stomach, it was almost time for lunch, Lin Xia's eyes were shining, he looked at Lei Biao and said, "Husband, let's go eat that roasted whole sheep!" β
"Okay." Lei Biao agreed, directly abandoned his two sons in the family, and took Lin Xia straight to the restaurant opened by outsiders.
The restaurant is located in the downtown area, it is a meal, there are many diners inside, most of them are dressed outside, of course, there are also businessmen who look like Wu Dynasty people and Yuliang people who are full of glazed jade.
Lin Xia looked around, quite satisfied with the environment, and several people were led by the strangely dressed Xiao Er to sit down and ask what they wanted to eat.
"Let's roast a whole lamb!" Lin Xia said quite domineeringly.
Xiao Er frowned and glanced at Lei Biao and Lin Xia, as well as the Lei Zhong and Agarwood they carried, there were only four people in total, and their smallest roasted whole sheep cost twenty catties, enough for ten people to eat, and these four people were afraid of death and couldn't eat it all.
"You may not be able to finish eating, my youngest sheep has twenty pounds, and the roasting time is long, it takes two hours." Xiao Er said truthfully, "You can order a lamb stew, then a roast beef and lettuce, with a goat's milk, it will be enough for the four of you to eat." β
Lin Xia smiled awkwardly, "Then order what you just said!" β
When Xiao Er heard the sound, he quickly retreated, and after a while, a pot of steaming things was served, which was stewed mutton.
Lin Xia ate a vegetarian diet, and at this time, he was salivating when he smelled the meat, and there were no ribs and other ingredients in the basin, only clear soup and mutton, the meat was stewed, and Lin Xia scattered as soon as he moved his chopsticks.
Hurriedly picked a few pieces of the fattest mutton and put it in the bowl, first tasted the soup, the taste of the soup was fresh and strong, there was no smell of mutton at all, only the meat aroma; Drinking a sip is a little numb, from the tongue to the stomach is comfortable, and the meat is even more tender, chewing to the mouth immediately melts, only mellow and fragrant.
After a while, Lin Xia ate all the mutton in the bowl, and even drank the soup to the bottom.
"Sir, madam, this lamb stew is really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious lamb stew!" Lei Zhong said with great interest, his hand didn't stop, and he took the bowl and filled another bowl in the basin.
Lin Xia nodded secretly, originally thought that the food of this Wu Dynasty would be like that, but he didn't expect that the craftsmanship of outsiders was so good, and he angrily threw a large street of Wu Dynasty!
Seeing that Lei Biao was drinking soup with his head down, his movements were extremely elegant, and he looked like a rich boy, savoring the taste of food.
"Husband, what do you think of the taste?" Lin Xia asked curiously.
"Generally, it's not as delicious as Madame's kebabs." Lei Biao replied.
Lei Biao also ate the lamb skewers made by Lin Xia, the flavor is completely different from the stewed mutton, in fact, there is no comparison at all.
Hearing that Lei Biao remembered the kebabs he had made, Lin Xia was slightly moved in his heart, and wondered if he should grill a few more skewers for him to taste.
But the guests at the next table were not happy when they heard Lei Biao's words, and their eyebrows were raised, "Nonsense, how can you Wu Dynasty people know how to grill mutton skewers!" β
Lei Biao, the person at the table, looked at the voice and found that he was speaking with the appearance of an outsider, but he was quite handsome, his dark black hair was slightly curled, just draped over his shoulders, and his dark brown eyes were full of unyieldingness, staring at Lei Biao.
"My wife does know how to kebab, and it tastes great." Lei Biao said calmly.
"Impossible! Which of your ladies is it, tell her to compete with me! The young man said excitedly, ran directly in front of Lei Biao, looked at Lin Xia and Agarwood at this table with his eyes, and guessed which of the two would be kebabs.
Lin Xia rolled her eyes at the young man, Lei Biao was obviously looking at her and talking, how could this young man ask which one was Mrs. Lei Biao? Why, doesn't she look like a lady?
"I am." Lin Xia stood up resolutely, thinking that he was a little imposing, but he didn't expect that after standing up, he was actually half a head short of the young man, and this momentum was cut off by the young man.
Lin Xia cleared his voice, trying to hide his embarrassment, and asked, "Are you a chef?" β
At this time, Xiao Er came to the table with the food, "Guest officer, this is your roast beef and lettuce, with sauce, wrap the roast beef with lettuce, smear it with the sauce and eat it directly." After speaking, Xiao Er saw the young man standing on the side, and exclaimed: "Young master, why did you run out, go back quickly, let the boss know that you ran out, and I will definitely beat you again." β
When the young man heard Xiao Er's words, his face turned red, and he raised his chin and shouted: "What are you fighting, I'm here to maintain the dignity of the old man!" The people at this table said that the old man's lamb stew was not delicious, and it was not as delicious as the lamb kebab made by the girl! β
Xiao Er frowned when he heard this, he was also an outsider, and when he heard someone say that the food made in his hometown was not delicious, he inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, and when he heard that there was a girl who could also grill lamb skewers, his face changed a little, and he asked, "Which girl can grill lamb skewers?" β
The most outside the plug is beef and mutton, eating meat and drinking wine, so unhappy. Therefore, on weekdays, they are specializing in the practice of beef and mutton, this Wu Dynasty cattle are ploughing cattle, and they are not allowed to be slaughtered at will, and there are no people to breed sheep, so most of the beef and mutton in the Wu Dynasty are still transported from outside the Saiwai, and most of the people here eat pork, vegetables and fish. How could they be convinced when they heard that someone could kebab kebabs, which was better than what they made from outsiders?
The young man pointed at Lin Xia and said excitedly, "It's her, it's her!" She said she would take the lamb skewers! β
Lin Xia looked at the excited teenager with a disgusted expression, "Young man, calm down!" β
"You know how to kebab, I don't believe it, let's compete!"
Lin Xiaxiu frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Aren't you the young master of this shop, how can you cook?" β
The young man snorted arrogantly and said proudly, "I learned to cook next to the old man in my family since I was a child, and I am in charge of the stewed mutton you just ordered!" How's that, it's delicious! β
Lin Xia was slightly surprised in his heart, he had to say that the stewed mutton was indeed good, obviously this young man was not as young as he seemed on the surface, he looked young, and his actual cooking skills were already at the master level. However, Lin Xia is very interested in this competition of cooking skills, there are thousands of dishes, there are thousands of ways, and she is still very curious about the taste of this kebab.
"Cheng, let's try to compare, compare to kebabs, how about it?" Lin Xia's eyes were shining, and he looked like he was bound to win.
Hearing Lin Xia's agreement, the young man's heart suddenly burst into joy, "Okay, it's refreshing enough, it's really like the woman outside our plug!" β
Lin Xia's eyes rolled around, and he asked with a smile: "What about this competition, there has to be a rating person, otherwise how can you compare wins and losers?" β
The young man was slightly stunned, obviously forgetting about this, but he quickly reacted, "Just ask my old man to try it, he is our famous golden tongue, you can taste anything!" β
"No!"
Lin Xia's refusal made the young man's face change immediately, "You want to go back on your word?" β
"If your father comes to taste it, the score will definitely be biased in favor of you, so what should I try?" Lin Xia explained.
Hearing this, the young man's face immediately softened a little, "Then who are you going to talk to?" β
The corners of Lin Xia's lips raised a slight smile, "In this way, let's pull five Wu Dynasty people, five outsiders, and five Yuliang people on the street to taste our kebabs together, and they will rate them, is it fair?" β
"Why do you have to pull people from three places?" The boy asked, puzzled.
Lin Xia rolled his eyes, "You are stupid, I am from the Wu Dynasty, you are an outsider, this taste and score may be a little biased, but Yuliang people are different, they have nothing to do with us, this score may be fair and just." β
The young man said impatiently, "You Wu Dynasty people have a lot of curves, and you still want so many things to try!" Yes, do as you say! When is the contest? β
Lin Xia smiled slightly: "Now! β
The young man smiled and said, "Done!" Han, go and ask someone on the street! β
"Lei Zhong, come along." Lin Xia turned his head and commanded Lei Zhong.
The little guy who followed the young man was slightly stunned, and said with a sad face: "Young master, you didn't have the consent of the master, what if you lose?" β
"Just kidding, I'm going to lose? This woman looks young, her hands are clean, she looks like she has never been in the kitchen, believe me, master, I will definitely win! The boy said confidently.
