Chapter 240: The family gathers together and is happy

Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan led their mother and several uncles and aunts of the Jiang family. and Li Qin's two children, their three children, arrived at Liufuju together. Stepping into the reserved private room, I raised my eyes and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old. Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be a little strange, when did this Liufuju invite such an old junior? No, this little two is wearing a silk jacket, which is not something that a shop boy can afford......

"The contemptible Jin Liufu is added as the owner of this Liufu residence. Lord Thorn Shi and his wife came to the store again, making the store shine, my lord, Mrs. ">, and all the distinguished guests, please ......come in quickly" Without waiting for a little strange question, Jin Liufu put a smile on his face and introduced himself first.

Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, okay, the relationship is still a peer, and now he smiled on his face, and replied kindly:

"There is a long time to wait...... "There is a labor proprietor who has been waiting for a long time", except for this sentence, I really don't know what to say. As for Jiang Zhixuan, he only nodded slightly. His identity is different now, and he is so lukewarm to these such characters in Hangzhou City, which makes people wonder what he thinks.

Jin Liufu was also interested, and after saying hello and getting acquainted, he hurriedly retreated and ordered someone to serve the food. His sudden appearance and rapid disappearance immediately made Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan both understand: this person is probably deliberately trying to build a relationship. Jiang Zhixuan didn't think about anything else, now he is hot, and there are more people who want to have a relationship with him, the owner of a restaurant, although this Liufuju is very famous, but in the final analysis, he is just a businessman......

But Xiao Xin thought differently, because she was also a businessman herself. She knew very well that it was very difficult for a businessman to have smooth sailing without intricate relationships, especially in a dynasty where the merchant had little social status. Even the Zuiyue Tower in the Jingshi and the royal farm in Huayin's hometown are the same, if there is no Empress Changsun and His Majesty today, the two largest gold-lettered signboards in the world, I am afraid that the Jingshi Zuiyue Tower will not be able to open it by itself, and Huayin Farm will also be seized by Wu Siyuan, who has turned into loess, at the beginning of its establishment......

Thinking like this in my heart, Xiaoxiao has the heart to make such a peer. A restaurant can be inherited for a hundred years, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems. If you can learn one or two, you will definitely benefit yourself and the Jiang family in the future. It's just that today is a reunion dinner with my mother and relatives from my hometown, and Xiaoxiao put this matter aside for the time being. Anyway, there's still a lot of time, just come back another day......

Liufuju is worthy of being the premier restaurant in Hangzhou, and everyone happily sat down shortly after that. began to serve exquisite snacks and tea one after another; After that, there are appetizers and cold cuts, and then it is the big dish that Lukfook has become famous for.

Hangzhou is a coastal area, and the diet has always been light, and at the same time, it is very rich in aquatic products. Therefore, the first dish served is a must-have in Liufuju, called "tofu loach". This tofu loach is very particular, and the method is roughly like this, throwing a piece of fresh loach into the hot tofu. When the loach eats pain, it will drill in the tofu, and it will soon turn into a pile of meat puree, and the loach meat that comes out of this way tastes very delicious, but the loach of the person concerned is tortured too badly.

What's more, the practice of these six blessed houses is not the same as that in other places. In other restaurants, most of them serve this dish in the kitchen. But Rokfuju doesn't know if it's to prove that their loaches are very fresh. It turned out that the chef brought a charcoal basin and an iron pot to the private room to cook it. The tragic situation of the loaches drilling around, Mrs. Li "frowned > and couldn't bear it. But the tiger head and the girl Dandan laughed happily, and the Dandan even jumped up and down to catch it, so frightened that Uncle Jiang pulled him again and again, and said vigorously in his mouth:

"My little ancestor, can you use your white and tender little hands to grasp this......

For this first dish, Mrs. Li "> didn't dare to move her chopsticks from beginning to end. Xiaoxiao was not even allowed to put it in her bowl with chopsticks, and in her words when she chatted with Xiaoxiao later, as long as she thought of the pain of those loaches, she could no longer eat them, so that Xiaoxiao could only shake her head and smile bitterly. However, Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang ate with relish, and Uncle Jiang even sighed while feasting:

"I've been fishing all my life, I don't know how much loach and yellow eel I caught, I never thought there was such a delicious way to eat, Xiaoxiao, let this cook teach you the second uncle for a while, after you go back, I will let your aunt make it for Qing'er and them to taste......" caused a table of people to laugh.

Compared to the cruelty of the first course, the second course is much more benevolent. This second dish is also one of the famous dishes of Leofooku, called "Drunken Shrimp". In fact, this dish has also been passed down in later generations. The method is also very simple, that is, throw fresh river shrimp into a full pot of wine. Later generations said that shrimp was greedy for wine, and as soon as they threw it into the wine, they drank it desperately. In fact, the person who said this must not have studied biology, shrimp originally lived in water, and people's breathing relied on their gills to filter the air in the water. You throw people into the wine. People didn't know it was wine, they thought it was still water, so they instinctively breathed......

Of course, no matter whether the shrimp is greedy for alcohol or wants to breathe, there is only one final result after being thrown into the wine, that is, drunk and unconscious. At this time, the attendant beckoned to the people, and according to his demonstration, he peeled off his shell and unarmored, and swallowed it into his stomach. These shrimps do not feel pain until they enter the temple of the five internal organs of the person......

This way of eating is not so cruel, and it is even quite elegant, Mrs. Li "> people like this kind of person a little." As a result, she liked it, and Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang didn't like it again. Uncle Jiang, in particular, kept shaking his head and said: "Ru Mao drinks blood, it's too barbaric, I don't like it, I don't like it......" because this shrimp is eaten raw......

This dish, Xiaoxiao does not let the tiger head and Yaya Dan eat it, the child's stomach is not very good, eat such a thing raw, and worry about poor digestion. Second, such a raw food will inevitably have some parasites such as bacteria and organisms. The immunity of the little ones is too poor, and if they get such and such a disease, it will be more than worth the loss. Although these things in this era have basically not been polluted by industry, it is better to avoid them as much as possible......

The first two main dishes, some people shook their heads and sighed in the audience, and some people talked about it. This achieves the purpose of the restaurant, controversy is good, if the public says good or bad, then it loses the gimmick. This was revealed by Jin Liufu when he discussed business with Xiaoxiao later, which made Xiaoxiao so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. An ancient person even knew how to speculate on business, no wonder Liufuju was able to endure for a hundred years......

The following delicacies are some traditional famous dishes. It's just that the practice of Liufuju is more special, such as the "West Lake vinegar fish", which can also be made by other restaurants, and the main ingredients used are the same fresh grass carp. It's just that before making this dish, the fresh grass carp will be starved for two or three days, and then used to steam and cook after it has emptied the debris in the intestines, so that the roasted fish does not have that earthy taste. There is also a "Longjing shrimp", which is made with fresh river shrimp and cooked with Longjing new tea before and after the Qingming Festival. Although these dishes can also be eaten in Jingshi, they are far from the authentic taste of eating locally......

For a lunch, nearly 20 dishes were served, and it cost more than 100 yuan. In Xiaoxiao's opinion, this is already quite extravagant, and his own family, including adults and children, adds up to only twelve people. But in the eyes of Mrs. Li> Li Qin and others, it is just an ordinary home-cooked meal, at most the dishes are delicious and the way to eat them is strange......

After the family finished lunch, they returned to the Thorn Mansion to drink tea and chat about family cooking. Today is only the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and there are still two or three days before the end of the year. The family was discussing, how would they spend these two or three days? You can't stay at home every day, right, how boring is that? Therefore, Li Qin proposed to go to some famous places in Hangzhou to take a look and visit. Mrs. Li's > and several uncles and aunts of the Jiang family also nodded again and again when they heard this, and Mrs. Li's > also said helpfully:

"Yes, I heard that the Mingsheng Lake in Hangzhou is beautiful and picturesque, and I have long been yearning......

But Jiang Zhixuan heard Li Qin say that he would go out for a tour. I shivered several times in a row, making people inexplicable. So much so that Mrs. Li's words stopped in the middle of her > words and looked at him:

"Son-in-law, what's wrong with you? But will it cause you inconvenience? If so, forget it......"

Jiang Zhixuan waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "No, no, don't misunderstand my mother-in-law, I'm afraid my son-in-law is...... Be...... It's a ...... of wind chill."

Xiaoxiao snickered on the side, of course she knew why her husband was shivering. Nowadays, as long as the word "tour" is mentioned, the husband will be like this. That was the sequelae of the last time I went out on a tour by myself and was assassinated at the border of Hangzhou......

Mrs. Li" > listened to Jiang Zhixuan's answer, looked at Xiao Xiao suspiciously, and said to Mrs. Li with a small smile>:

"Mother, don't think about it, my husband didn't mean that, some time ago, my daughter also traveled around Jianghuai and Thirty-one Mansions. It's just that the Mingsheng Lake is in Hangzhou, but my daughter doesn't look at it carefully enough, so my daughter has always wanted to take some time to visit the West Lake again......"

"West Lake?" As soon as her words fell, everyone in the audience looked at her: "Where is the "West Lake"?

"Oh, the West Lake is Mingsheng Lake, and the local people, because Mingsheng Lake is located in the west of Hangzhou, they call it West Lake......" Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained for her slip of the tongue, fortunately, she had indeed heard people call her like this before, but she was not afraid of goofs!

"Oh......" Everyone suddenly realized, Li Qin hurriedly jumped up, and said to Jiang Zhixuan: "Brother-in-law, when will you leave?" ”

Jiang Zhixuan had slowly recovered from his palpitations, and heard his beloved wife deliberately mention that Mingsheng Lake was in Hangzhou. Only then did I remember that Hangzhou is now my own territory. Now that I have regained my pride, grandma, as a landlord, I took my relatives on my own turf for a tour, do I still have to worry about this and that? That's too much, isn't it? Shaozi immediately nodded and clapped:

"This place is only a few dozen miles away from Mingsheng Lake, let's set off early tomorrow morning, visit him in Mingsheng Lake for a day or two, and then return on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, everyone see that this arrangement, is it appropriate?"

And all the people were exceedingly glad, and they proclaimed goodness in unison. Xiao Xiao looked at the people who were full of interest, and suddenly thought of one of the things that Chinese people love to do most during the Chinese New Year in the future - playing mahjong. Suddenly an idea came to mind, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are old, can they make a pair of mahjong and let them play? I heard that playing mahjong will help delay brain aging, and the eldest uncle and the second uncle, as well as the eldest aunt and the second aunt, just make up a table......

Although he is deeply poisoned by gambling, as long as he does not spread this thing to harm others, it is limited to his own family's pastime, which is not a good way to entertain, especially in this era of extreme lack of entertainment facilities. Thinking like this, Xiaoxiao made a decision, and immediately said with a smile:

"Husband, mother, several uncles and aunts, I also remembered a way to entertain. Anyway, the Spring Festival is over, and we have nowhere to go at home, and no relatives to go. It's better to have fun with your family behind closed doors, what do you think? ”

Everyone looked at each other, nodded and said yes, Li Qin spoke:

"Sister, it's good, but what's your method? If it's not fun, then the little brother won't be accompanied, anyway, it's the first time to come to Hangzhou, just take advantage of the Spring Festival to lead Huan'er around, lest after the transfer of the official registration in the beginning of the spring, he will be busy with official business, and he will have no time to accompany Huan'er......"

Wu Huihuan on the side originally had a smile on his face, quietly listening to everyone's chat, why did he suddenly pull it on him again. She was thin-skinned, and immediately blushed again, and spat:

"Who wants you to accompany you? So I stayed with my sister and ...... Mother...... Mother and mother talk about family life, you go outside to spread wild, you ......" Li Qin was deflated on the spot, and suddenly went down: "When I didn't say ......"

Jiang Zhixuan said at this time: "Madam" >, what is the method? How is it that my husband has never heard you say it? ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "I can't tell my husband about this for the time being, but the concubine body guarantees that my husband has never heard of or seen, and this method of entertainment is also very beneficial to the two uncles and aunts......"

Jiang Zhixuan saw that his beloved wife was playing mysterious, and he didn't care, so he chuckled twice: "Then the husband is waiting for the wife" > entertainment method! ”

Who knew that Xiaoxiao would not let him go: "Husband, you have to ask your husband for help!" ”

Jiang Zhixuan said strangely: "What can a husband do?" I don't know what you do as a husband......"

"The concubine body needs the husband to find a few craftsmen who are good at carving for the concubine's body, and also needs some good beef bones. Because the concubine body is a method of entertainment, which requires tools......"

"Oh, I see, this is easy to do, for the husband this can be arranged by someone, do you need anything else?". Jiang Zhixuan was also quite cooperative, and agreed without hesitation.

Xiao tilted his head and thought about it, and all that was left was to draw. In her previous life, she would also play mahjong herself, but she still remembered this vividly, so she ordered someone to take a pen and paper, recalled the appearance of mahjong in her previous life, and drew or wrote out those "10,000 characters, strips, tubes, and what tabula rasa, fortune, red, southeast, northwest, etc.", and after drawing and writing, the paper was handed over to Jiang Zhixuan:

"Husband, please ask someone to carve a square about one and a half inches long, about one inch wide, and about half an inch thick with cow bones, and then carve these patterns or Chinese characters painted by the concubine on one side of each cow bone, and each pattern or Chinese character must be carved four!"

When Xiaoxiao was painting, Jiang Zhixuan, Li Qin, and some relatives, friends, and elders were watching from the side. Look at the many drawings she drew in circles, and everyone was guessing what it was. But they don't know. I heard that I had to carve so much at once, and I thought it would be impossible to play in a day or two. So they all looked at Xiaoxiao, and Mrs. Li asked > very curiously:

"Daughter, what is the one you just drawn? It seems quite complicated to look at it! ”

Seeing that her husband had already left with the paper, Xiao Xiao chuckled and turned around and smiled:

"Back to my mother, this is called mahjong, it is a kind of entertainment method in the Western Regions, and my daughter saw it from a miscellaneous book. Playing this mahjong tile is very beneficial to the elderly, and it can slow down memory loss! ”

Mrs. Li> "I still didn't understand, but I heard that being small is very good for the elderly, so she was a little eager to try. At this time, Xiaoxiao said:

"It's very troublesome to carve this thing, and it has to be polished, I'm afraid I won't be able to play it in a day or two. Mother, uncle, aunt, when we come back from Mingsheng Lake, after the New Year and the New Year, my daughter will teach you to play this mahjong card to ensure that you have fun, okay? ”

A few old people nodded their heads again and again, Xiaoxiao can think about them so much, and even consider their health in a way of entertainment, what else do they have to say? But the old man was satisfied, but Li Qin pursed his lips and said:

"Sister, my mother and a few elders have to play, so what are we going to play? Did you really let your little brother and Huan'er go shopping? This person is unfamiliar with the place, and the little brother is shy, so it's too boring......"

Wu Huihuan heard him say this, and hurriedly stayed away from him, and then stomped his feet: "Sister, don't pay attention to this crazy person, I'm afraid that I will commit another ...... of madness."

Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, we can also play this mahjong card." This is played by four people, there are winners and losers, and everyone will learn when the time comes, and then whoever loses will let Xian, so can't you all play? ”

Li Qin was satisfied, and said with his hands: "Hmph, when the time comes, I will definitely kill all the Quartet and drive you all off the table......"

Before the words fell, there was a heavy blow on the head, and it turned out to be Mrs. Li, "> couldn't see his appearance, stood up and gave him a crispy fried chestnut......
