Chapter 10 The Dawn of the Edge
"Well, I call him a plastic bag, ahem. It was given to me by chance to meet a wandering grandfather. That's not the point, though. Rokutaru helped untie the plastic bag, "Taste these dishes." ”
After speaking, he put his hands on his cheeks, blinked his eyes, and looked at the expression of the shopkeeper with anticipation. Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a while, why did he suddenly think that this boy was a little cute.
But he didn't want to think too much at the moment, he looked up at the contents of the bag, and saw several transparent boxes stacked together, and I didn't know how many there were below.
"It's called a plastic box!"
Shopkeeper Zhang held back his words, and said in his heart that it was sent by the old man who traveled all over the world. The kid didn't have a word of truth out of his mouth, but it was clear that solving the current problem was the most important thing.
Shopkeeper Zhang took out a plastic box, studied it a little, opened it slowly, and as soon as he opened it halfway, a spicy smell wafted out, and the choked old man coughed again and again. Hurriedly closing the lid asked.
"What is this, I'm afraid it's not going to choke people to death? Can this be eaten? ”
Liuhulu is a little unhappy, what do you mean to be able to eat? Of course she can eat it, these are her favorite dishes, okay?
"Of course you can eat it, didn't Uncle Zhang himself say that ordinary dishes can't get into the eyes of nobles, and now I can't take them unusual, don't you dislike it?"
The shopkeeper Zhang was a little ridiculous, thinking about it, he was indeed careless in his words, but this child is also a little ignorant, and the elders should not refute what the younger generations say, but fortunately, as a fellow villager, he knows that this child has been used to it since he was a child, and he doesn't care about it in general.
Zhang San was clever, and when he saw this, he hurriedly rushed over, opened the box, and said to Convection Firefly, "Brother Firefly, what kind of dishes are these, the smell is really pungent, but it is very fragrant." ”
Liuying paused, did she become a brother when she came back from a trip? Then he was embarrassed and said, "This is called Chuan. Belch.. It's made with chili peppers.,This chili.。。 It was by accident that I ... ”
"I met a wandering grandfather by chance?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked.
It was rare for the ears to be a little hot, but she still nodded cheekily.
Although Shopkeeper Zhang was in a bad mood, he still couldn't help but smile and instructed Zhang Sandao, "Go and call Lao Tian over, and take two pairs of chopsticks by the way." ”
Lao Tian is the chef of Chenyue Building, and it seems that the shopkeeper Zhang asked him to try the dishes together. Hotaru suddenly had a little anticipation.
After a while, Lao Tian trotted into the house, followed by Zhang San.
Lao Tian followed the old chef from the beginning, and he was not polite at this time, so he sat next to the shopkeeper when he came in, and asked, "You called me from the shopkeeper?" ”
"Hmm" Shopkeeper Zhang nodded, took the chopsticks handed by Zhang San, divided Lao Tian's pair, and said, "I asked you to try the dishes." Let's see if we can get through this tonight. ”
Lao Tian's nose is sensitive, and he smelled a spicy aroma before he entered the house, and when he looked up again, there were a few boxes on the table that didn't show any texture, and there were several dishes in the boxes, one of which had a lot of peppers floating on it. Nodding secretly, although he is not good at Shu cuisine, he does have some appearances, but these dishes, how come he has never seen them?
"This is ... What did Natsu do? Lao Tian looked at Liuying.
Liuying touched his nose, you don't care who did it, I said I did it, you let the scene do it again, I definitely can't do it, ask who did it. Can you understand when I say takeout?
Seeing that Liuying was silent, Shopkeeper Zhang interjected, "Don't worry about this, let's taste it first." ”
Lao Tian retracted his gaze, took a chopstick and three pepper tender beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and his eyes suddenly became the size of a copper bell. He also stammered a little when he spoke, "This, this, this, how do you do this?" This beef melts in your mouth. There is also this taste, which is indescribably spicy and soft, and the burning sensation in the mouth is simply a little unstoppable. ”
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't dare to move the chopsticks when he smelled the smell, and after Lao Tian tasted it, he looked at his face. Hearing his high evaluation, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he also looked at Liuying with a shocked face.
He is also an old shopkeeper who has opened a restaurant for 20 years, and he thinks that in order to carry forward the restaurant, he has not less to dig and eat the dishes of other people's famous restaurants, and he has also tasted the more mainstream dishes of Da Zhou, but this taste, he can't taste what spices are used to make it. And to make the beef so tender, what special marinating method is used?
Seeing the expressions of the two, the boulder hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
However, she thought of another thing at the moment, and asked hesitantly, "Can we eat beef here?" I've heard that there are places where it is forbidden to slaughter cattle? ”
Lao Tian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask such a question, and subconsciously replied, "It's okay, we don't have such rules in Da Zhou." Ploughing cattle is sufficient. ”
Liuying took a long breath and said with a smile, "That's good, I didn't think about it so much at the time, I was still afraid of causing trouble for Uncle Zhang." ”
Where did this kid hear the strange rules!
Shopkeeper Zhang and Lao Tian glanced at each other, and tacitly stretched out their chopsticks to taste the dishes in other boxes.
After trying all the eight dishes brought by Liuying, the shopkeeper Zhang was full of joy, and he couldn't help but ask, "Boy, where did you get all these dishes?" What is this chili pepper? ”
"I didn't make these dishes, but I can't tell you where they came from." As for chili peppers, this is one of a kind. Well. New ingredients can be used as condiments, and if you need them, I can get some back. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Lao Tian and said, "Although it is inconvenient to disclose these dishes, I have some fresh recipes here, and there are many dishes that can be made with chili peppers." You can give it to Master Tian for reference. ”
Lao Tian stood up excitedly, almost overturned the table, and the frightened shopkeeper hurriedly helped him, glaring at Lao Tian, who was still hairy at such an age. If all the dishes were spilled, wouldn't it cost him his life?
Liuying nodded, and said with a smile, "Of course, I will never hide my secrets. I have one condition, though! ”
"What conditions, you just mention." Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly replied.
Liuying was finally able to say what was in her heart, and said loudly, "I want to work freely, I can go to work if I want to, and I can rest if I don't want to work!" No one can limit me! But the salary should be paid accordingly! As compensation, I will provide a recipe with condiments that the restaurant does not have! ”
Shopkeeper Zhang glanced at Liuying, and groaned for a while, this kid has a lot of ideas, and there is an inexplicable way, and it is not too much to ask for this request, besides, this catastrophe can really pass, and the future wealth will be extensive, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hire a small worker.
Thinking of this, he replied, "If you can pass this threshold, you can do whatever you want." ”
Liuying received a definite answer, and her heart suddenly bloomed. Nodding his head again and again.
The shopkeeper also looked happy and confident, and ordered, "Start preparing now, and when the time comes, heat up the dishes and wait for the arrival of distinguished guests." ”
