Chapter 42 Agarwood Restaurant Heavy mountain meets grace
A few days later, Shangguan Wan took Qi Xin to see Mama Chang, who hadn't seen her for a long time, and Mama Chang was more concerned. The people sent by Yangzhou Lin Zhan Pavilion have also seen them one by one.
Mama Chang has been living in Chengyixuan Li Xiangzhu, Li Xiangzhu saw Shangguan Wan, his eyes were shining, and he just said: "Child, your mother has been raised by me since she was a child. ”
"Lord Li Xiang praised it falsely."
Lin Ruge and the others stepped forward one after another, Shangguan Wan just hugged her fists and said: "Thank you, thank you for your help that day, although you are from Lin Zhange, you can stick a knife in the ribs of my Shangguan family and take the risk." ”
Lin Ruge said: "The young pavilion master doesn't need to thank you, our net worth and life were saved by Lin Zhan Pavilion, since the grace of the dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and now we are entrusted by the old pavilion master to come to the capital." Although our people are secretive now, it is not a long-term solution, and Xun Yaofang and Cheng Yixuan can stretch out a limited hand, and it is much faster to get the news if it is still a precious wine. ”
Mama Chang also said: "The people take food as the sky, this restaurant can accommodate guests from all over the world, and the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an often invite friends to eat, drink and have fun." Our people are inserted, and the risk is much less."
Shangguan Wan nodded: "In this way, it is naturally very good." It's just that we don't have a celebrity chef on hand, so if we want to become famous in Beijing, we need to put some thought into it. ”
Behind him, a bearded, sturdy man said: "Back to the pavilion master, I have traveled with my father since I was a child, visited all over the world, and there are not a few people who have eaten and drunk, the land of Sichuan and Shu, as well as the Lingnan region, the food that is liked to eat in various places is different, but I have also learned a lot, Yangzhou famous building Shenglou is in the restaurant. The old pavilion master once saved my father's life, and I will do my best this time. ”
Mama Chang said with a smile: "We have also eaten a lot of Li Fu's dishes in the past few days, feasting our eyes and mouths, with my wife and son in the palace for many years, compared to the banquet in the palace." ”
"Thank you Master Li for that. Look at the pigeon biography that the location of the restaurant has been found, if it is a famous capital, we still have to think of a gimmick. ”
Lin Ruge said: "Then the young pavilion master can choose a name for the restaurant?" ”
"Since we need to act calmly and introverted, we are opening a restaurant again, Master Li is very skilled, it is better to call it Agarwood Building." Shangguan said gently.
Everyone felt quite good, and Shangguan Wan said: "Since Master Li knows many regional dishes, and the tastes are different, it is better to hang out the fame, the dishes in the building are named by the guests, and the literati and elegant guests are best to chant poems and drink, which can not only get a good dish name, but also spread the reputation." ”
Li Fu touched his head and said honestly, "It's still the young pavilion master who is smart, originally we thought of a lot of ideas in the past few days, there are beautiful women dancing, and there are opening rewards, all of which are ideas that have been used by other families, and they are also very cheesy." ”
Shangguan Wan smiled: "Since everyone agrees, let's choose an auspicious day to open." Sister Ruge and Master Li pretended to be husband and wife, hiding people's eyes and ears. Mama Chang has been in the palace for many years, but she has not seen many people in the court, so Mama Chang pretended to be Master Li's mother, a restaurant opened by a family of three, not a single shopkeeper, and the province's multi-minded people interrogated, and then caused trouble. ”
Li Fu smiled honestly: "I have never married a wife, so naturally I don't mind, my mother died early, and I am naturally willing to do everything possible." ”
Qi Xin smiled: "Master Li, this is just to make it easier to act." It's not for you. ”
Lin Ruge coughed twice: "Since that's the case, let's just do it." ”
Shangguan Wan returned to the mansion and was about to return to the room, but was suddenly pulled into her arms by a person.
"Where have you been?" the man's gentle voice sounded above her head, his chin resting on top of hers.
Shangguan Wan relented when she heard the familiar voice, and asked with a smile: "It is said that His Royal Highness King Yin, his martial arts are strong and he has achieved light skills, but this kung fu has been used to turn over my yard." ”
Li Chongrui let go of her, and then smiled: "If you don't see each other for a day, I thought it seemed to be an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to come true to me." ”
Shangguan Wan hooked her lips and smiled: "Today I went to visit Mama Chang, who used to take care of me in the palace, she is old, and there is a nephew who comes to serve her in her old age, and the family has found a place to open a restaurant, so I went to come up with an idea." ”
"Oh? What's the idea? He lowered his head and his eyes were soft, knowing in his heart that she had suffered in the court for many years, and his tone couldn't help but soften a little.
"If the restaurant wants to gain a foothold in Chang'an, it needs some gimmicks, and I want to let the guests name the dishes on the day they open, which will not only be gimmicky, but also attract repeat customers, and let the reputation spread, and new dishes will be on the market, and more people will come." After Shangguan Wan finished speaking, Li Chongrui pinched her face: "What hell do you have those magical things in your head." ”
"Wan'er, on the day the restaurant opens, let's also go and fight for a lottery, and also choose a name for the two of us for a dish, okay?"
"Okay."
That day, the Agarwood Building was hung with red colored silk, and the little girl was shouting hard: "The restaurant is open, you can choose the name of the dish yourself, and you have a dish you named."
In less than a while, it was full of early adopters.
Shangguan Wan and Li Chongrui got off their horses, and Li Fu was about to catch up, but was stopped by Lin Ruge.
It's Shangguan Wanxian, "Brother Li, Mrs. Li, I will also bring His Royal Highness over to have a good fortune." The two were about to salute, but Li Chongrui waved his hand: "Don't disturb everyone's interest, just don't salute, but I have a lot of trouble today." ”
At this time, the guests at several tables were named the dishes.
"Green Grass"
"Honey Thoughts"
......
Li Fu brought his own specialty, the hand-carved radish flowers are exquisite and beautiful, and the winter melon is carved out of a landscape picture, and the winter melon is stewed beef brisket and side dishes. Fragrant.
"Lord Siqing, what name can you choose?"
"Does Your Highness have an idea?"
"The landscape map outside the winter melon bowl, the mountains are steep, the radish flowers are exquisite, and the winter melon bowl is dexterous. Why don't you call it a heavy mountain and meet Wan? Wan is graceful and graceful. ”
Only then did Li Fu shout, "Get the name of the dish, and the mountains will meet you"
Lev turned to write the name of the dish.
Li Chongrui said: "Chongshan meets Wan, the weight is Li Chongrui's weight, and the grace is Shangguan Wan's grace." ”
Within three days, the reputation of Agarwood House has become famous in Chang'an. Even the name of the box was also taken over by literati, children of families, and ministers of the imperial court.
Since Agarwood House always introduces new dishes from time to time, it has accumulated a lot of repeat customers. Many people always bring their friends to order the dish they have come up with. It is even more famous.
The heavy mountain is graceful, the color and fragrance are complete, and the name is poetic, but many people have come to try it.
The heavy mountain meets the grace, the weight is the weight of Li Chongrui, and the weight is the grace of Shangguan Wan.
