Chapter 23, Mrs. Shangguan
After changing it again, there are still some people who are not used to this model, some are old customers, and they have bought silk quilts, marmalade, and dried fish.
They live here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, these are included in the room rate, but the food is fixed, if you want to order other dishes, are to count the money, so many people in the accommodation have not tried these new things to order separately, only some old customers came to eat two days ago, before eating are full of expectations, after eating are satisfied, but ask them what they ate, and can't say the name, just think it's delicious.
There is such a forest in the suburbs of Liangzhou City, there are four parks, there are hundreds of gardens in spring, lotus ponds in summer, maple forests in autumn, plum gardens in winter, they are mostly talented people gathered here, it is a good place for these people to eat and drink, here, this kind of conference will be held once a month, although its surface purpose is to enjoy flowers and grass or something, but everyone knows that this is to make friends in the name of playing, to add help to their careers, of course, here is not everyone can enter, You have to have acquaintances who have been here before, and the students of the large and small academies near Liangzhou are squeezing their heads and trying to find a relationship to come in.
On this day, a handsome scholar shook his head and told the delicious food he ate in the local area when he followed his father to inspect the people's conditions some time ago, and described it as a fairy dish that only exists in the sky, and all the students were greedy, but one of the students, listening to it, pondered some different meanings, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Isn't this what you describe what I have eaten in 'Kelaiju'!" ”
As soon as these words were said, it caused an uproar, everyone thought that it must be this scholar who was bragging, and Shengsheng said that the things he had eaten in the "Kelaiju" were something distant and delicious, and the "Kelaiju" they didn't know yet, just a small inn, if there was anything protruding, it could only be that it used to be the property of the Peng family, what could this kind of small shop have?
Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, the scholar was also a little annoyed, and said angrily that he had eaten in a distant place, it must be that this little-known little scholar was lying, and the little scholar was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said that he and his brother went to eat once in a while, just in time for the last table, and the brother thought it was interesting and ate.
Everyone was a little skeptical, but they were more on the side of the little scholar, this scholar was also arrogant, and his tutor told him not to make noise with others, so he only said that he wanted to pull everyone to find out what was going on.
Unfortunately, when a group of them went to the "guest house" in a hurry, today's five tables were already full, and a group of them could only come again tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the scholar pulled people to the "guest house", the scholar asked the little scholar to order first, but the little scholar said, the menu here is formulated by the chef, what to eat today, what to eat tomorrow, are different, the scholar is angry, he has to occasionally take this breath, prove that he is not lying, he has to do those dishes in the kitchen, the king shopkeeper was troubled, threatened that you will leave if you don't eat, don't waste time here, this group of scholars are also angry, the most unbearable to say so, feel embarrassed, So a group of people sat here and prepared to eat.
is a scholar, but he is still uncomfortable, he always feels that the people around him look at him differently.
When the food came up, everyone was still indignant, and after taking a bite of the bowl, they felt that the taste was really different.
Delicious, refreshing, obviously just a simple meal, but it is different from the taste of the dishes here, there are ten dishes and two soups on this table, seven of which are the dishes and soups they have eaten before, it is these other three, the taste is different, the umami bursts on the tip of the tongue, delicious, refreshing.
The side dishes sent were also different, so that they fell in love with the mountain at once, and believed the words of the little scholar, so a group of people looked at the scholar with more and more alternative eyes, and almost said directly, it was you who lied, and this sentence was written on the face.
When Jiang Yuanyuan came down from upstairs, she happened to hear the noise in the compartment, as the owner of the inn, although she often didn't care about things, but occasionally when she came, she would still take care of it, so she stretched out her hand to stop the shopkeeper Wang, handed Bai Xue to him, and walked in leisurely.
Xiao Er was so anxious that he was wandering around, he was a person who had not been stained with ink, and he couldn't understand what these scholars were talking about, and his sweat was bursting out.
When Jiang Yuanyuan heard this, her feelings were because of the quarrel with the dishes she had here, so she stepped forward and used the reverse side of the chopsticks to eat some dishes, which were fragrant and delicious.
"Don't quarrel anymore." Jiang Yuanyuan bent over and sideways, "Little girl, let's solve your doubts, these meals are indeed far away, after we went to the north for a walk, we came back to figure out where their meals and materials were, and they are all unique to them, so what this son said is not wrong, he is not lying, this son!" Didn't lie either. ”
After listening to such an explanation, a group of people suddenly became enlightened, and they waited for the meal in front of them with bright eyes, and their hearts became ape.
"Today, we can't entertain well, later, the little girl will give you a compensation, the kitchen will give you a bowl of soup, this soup is also from the Northeast, it tastes tight, how about the son's taste?" Jiang Yuanyuan smiled.
asked Huang Xuan to bring out the best bone broth, the fragrant taste caused a group of people to be itchy and unbearable, and after tasting such a mouthful, everyone took a long breath, believing that the two of them were indeed not lying.
After these scholars of these scholars, the food of "Kelaiju" became more and more fragrant, and its reputation became bigger and bigger, and it spread in their circles.
Not long after this incident, Mrs. Shangguan came again.
Jiang Yuanyuan is discussing new flavors with Shu Yun and the others, Huang Xuan is holding a small book and gesturing, these days, the business of "Hailao" is a little bleak, they asked some people who came to buy, and found that the reason for the dismal business is that in addition to the fact that things are a little expensive, there is also a reason that the taste is too consistent, this kind of taste is fresh, but after all, not everyone likes it, and those who like it may not have this condition to come and buy, so there are fewer and fewer people who come to buy, and some dignitaries and nobles come to buy a little food, And she doesn't come often, so Jiang Yuanyuan thought of researching some new flavors.
This kind of sweet and spicy is not sold in Liangzhou, the taste here in Liangzhou is generally light, and the favorite flavor is sour and spicy, so Jiang Yuanyuan plans to experiment with some, sour and spicy dried fish.
Moreover, Jiang Yuanyuan recently had a new idea, when they were in the Northeast, they had eaten a kind of mushroom sauce, this sauce tasted very good, bibimbap was very delicious, there were three very common mushrooms in it, and then there were chili seeds and soft beans, Huang Xuan also ate this sauce, and he still had a vague memory of this, but he said that he preferred to bring meat, and the two had a whim, thinking that they could put some meat in this sauce and boil it together.
Shu Yun counted the tastes and preferences of all the customers in their store during this time, and Jiang Yuanyuan asked Huang Xuan to study based on these materials.
Just as the three of them were talking, a carriage quietly stopped in front of the door, and a woman walked in through the door.
Jiang Yuanyuan found out about the person who came first, and was about to let Shu Yun receive her, but Shu Yun stood up and bent down and nodded and shouted Mrs. Shangguan.
It turned out that this was Mrs. Shangguan.
Mrs. Shangguan looks very young, she crosses the woman's head, paints the popular plum blossom makeup, there is a red dot between her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes are slightly hooked, she purses her lips slightly and smiles, she looks very charming, but she gives people the feeling of noble, very temperamental, very elegant, she holds a stove in her hand, and she still has a very thick cloak on her body, obviously it is not very cold now, but she is wrapped in all the thick clothes that can be wrapped up.
"Miss Jiang!" Mrs. Shangguan smiled and nodded slightly, her eyes looked very cold, just looking at you, but there was a feeling that she didn't look at you, very ethereal.
"Mrs. Shangguan!" Jiang Yuanyuan stepped forward, when she walked and looked, she felt that Mrs. Shangguan was very tall, and when she stepped forward, she found that sure enough, she was a whole head taller than herself, although she knew that she was indeed a little short, but this huge gap still made Jiang Yuanyuan a little surprised.
"Can you invite Miss Jiang to a meeting at the restaurant?" Madame Shangguan smiled and gestured sideways.
"Sure, but please wait a minute." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, she walked to Shu Yun's side, told her what had just happened a little, and then went to the back to wash her hands, and then walked out.
Mrs. Shangguan was still waiting in front of the door, and when she saw Jiang Yuanyuan coming, she walked to the theater building opposite, Jiang Yuanyuan followed up, and as soon as she entered the private room, she heard that a new opera was started to be sung on the stage outside, Jiang Yuanyuan pursed her lips and sat down, and the two maids of Mrs. Shangguan stepped forward and put a blanket on Mrs. Shangguan's legs, and then also put a blanket on Jiang Yuanyuan, and then they poured tea for the two.
"Did Miss Jiang just come back recently?" Madame Shangguan took a sip of water and looked sideways and whispered.
"It's been a while since I've been back." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled, "I heard from Shu Yun that Mrs. Shangguan came to me, but I was a little busy at the time and didn't have time to visit Mrs. Shangguan, but I asked Mrs. Shangguan to find me again." ”
