Chapter 11: A Chance Encounter with a Deceased

Shopkeeper Hu looked at Qi Ning seriously: "The girl might as well talk about it." ”

"This heart, liver, lungs and pork head meat are more than that. I can tell you other ways to save this marinated pig from going down to the water. ”

Shopkeeper Hu listened to it and hurriedly asked, "What the girl said is true?" What else would you do? I just don't know what it tastes like. ”

"I don't know if Shopkeeper Hu's restaurant has ever made dishes like water before?"

Shopkeeper Hu's face was slightly red, don't say that he had done these things before, even if he gave them for nothing, he would be disdainful. It's just that yesterday I watched a few guys rush to eat in the back kitchen, and smelled that the taste was not ordinary, so I tasted a few pieces in person, who expected this taste, I was surprised, he is the son of the Xiao family, he followed the business of the old man Tiannan and Haibei when he was a teenager, and then he has been in charge of the Xiao family's restaurant and other businesses in Qing'an, what delicacies and delicacies have not been seen, but this brine water hooked his index finger, if it wasn't for the guy who bought less yesterday, he wanted to drink some wine on this marinade.

"I really haven't done it." Shopkeeper Hu told the truth.

"Well, girl, please wait a minute." The shopkeeper returned to the curtain on the side of the carriage and whispered a few words before turning back.

"What the girl said is true, I wonder if the girl is willing to sell us these recipes? How many dishes does the girl have? ”

"As for the dishes, there are always thirty or fifty dishes, but I'm going to go to your restaurant to see your existing recipes specifically, and don't have any overlap." Qi Ning replied while neatly weighing a piece of pork liver for other customers.

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Hu was happy: "I don't know when the girl will be convenient to go over?" ”

"In the afternoon, I still have to sell all these things in the morning, let's leave an address for the shopkeeper, I'll go to you in the afternoon, and we'll talk in detail."

"That being the case, I'll let this guy pick up the girl after noon, and I'm tired of the girl." Shopkeeper Hu is really a well-informed businessman, and he does everything in his way.

"Okay, I'll wait in the afternoon, shopkeeper Hu, please go back first, I still have to do business, so I won't go out to see you off." How could Qi Ning not understand Shopkeeper Hu's thoughts, but it is better to have a ready-made carriage than to have his own legs.

"Don't work for the girl, please stay, Hu is waiting for the girl in the restaurant." The shopkeeper Hu arched his hand back to the carriage, and the man hurriedly waved his whip: "Drive." With a bang, he drove the carriage all the way north.

As expected, by noon, the lo-mei in the store was almost sold. There was only half a piece of pork liver and a lotus root left, Qi Ning cut it finely and put it in a bowl, and brought it to Aunt Wu next door. Aunt Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and repeatedly praised Qi Ning for her good talents, and made good dishes, and enthusiastically left Qi Ning for lunch.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, Qi Ning went out of the door, and saw the guy who was driving the car standing anxiously at the door, Qi Ning turned around and said loudly to Aunt Wu that he was going to the dock, so he got into the car, and told Aunt Wu that Qi Ning had left an eye, afraid that if he went and encountered something unreasonable, no one would know where he would die when the time came.

Out of the city gate, along the wide sandy road, not long to the door of a magnificent two-story small building stopped, Hu shopkeeper heard the movement and hurriedly came out to greet: "The tired girl has run away." ”

"It's okay, do you do business, pay attention to your comings and goings, let the shopkeeper Hu wait for a long time."

Shopkeeper Hu waved his hand to signal Qi Ning to enter the house, and followed all the way to the door of a private room on the innermost part of the second floor, where a person with a folding fan was already sitting, and a young man was standing behind him. Qi Ning looked at it, isn't this the Xiao Gongzi who gave her the silver that day, except for him, no one will be sassy This heavenly hand holds a fan, and standing behind him is the little boy who was touched by Wang Gouzi that day.

"Young Master Xiao, we meet again." Qi Ning was unhappy, but she still took the initiative to say hello first.

"Oh, it's you!" Xiao Gongzi shrugged his nose pretending not to know, and the arrogance made people can't help but want to punch him on the nose. Qi Ning guessed that the person in the carriage in the morning must be him.

"yes. What a coincidence. Fortunately, Xiao Gongzi didn't help me find a job that day, and today I was invited by your shopkeeper to discuss business, hehe. Qi Ning teased: "Presumably the son is the owner of this Xiao Ji Restaurant, right?"

"Yes, Gongzi is the eldest son of our old club, and he is also the young owner of our Xiao Ji." Shopkeeper Hu was busy, and secretly calculated in his heart that these two people should not have any festivals, and the tone of the back and forth was not good.

"Shopkeeper Hu, let's get straight to the point, let me take a look at your recipe first." Qi Ning took a deep breath, he couldn't be angry for the sake of silver, earning silver was the king, so bear with it first.

"Girl, please sit down and take a closer look." Shopkeeper Hu picked up a book of recipes for customers to order from the table and handed it to Qi Ning diligently.

Qi Ning raised her eyebrows, trying to distinguish the traditional characters on the top. The exterior and interior decoration of this restaurant are luxurious, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the corridor, and flowers are placed on the flower stand in the corner, which seems to be exquisite, but the dishes on this recipe, although the name of the dish is good, but the dishes are really not first-class, at least according to Qi Ning's experience.

"Shopkeeper Hu, your dish is really inconsistent with your restaurant, so you can eat this in such a high-end restaurant."

"The girl laughed, we have more than a dozen branches in Xiao Kee Restaurant, and the dishes are also the best among the restaurants." Shopkeeper Hu was a little dissatisfied, he thought that this girl was deliberately belittling the restaurant for the sake of selling.

"Shopkeeper Hu, according to my experience, restaurants generally have their own cuisines, you have a dish in the east, a dish in the west, not a set, not a table, and the name of the dish is good, but the dishes are messy, but it seems to be messy in the southeast, northwest, and northwest." Qi Ning deliberately ignored Xiao Gongzi with his nostrils facing the sky, and said to the shopkeeper Hu.

"Oh, listen to the girl, she has a lot of research on cooking! What do you mean by the cuisine? Xiao Gongzi, who had his nostrils facing the sky, tilted his head and squinted at Qi Ning and asked.

"I can't study it, but I love to think about these since I was a child, and I have read a few books, I know some local customs, and I know how to make some dishes." Qi Ning followed the interpretation from the Internet: "Cuisine refers to the genre of cuisine that has evolved over a long period of time and has become its own system, has distinctive local flavor characteristics, and is recognized by the public in terms of material selection, cutting, cooking and other skills. ”

The novelty of what the girl said, Hu has been in charge of the restaurant for many years, although there are differences in eating habits between the north and the south, he has never heard of the cuisine. I don't know what books the girl reads, but is there a book that teaches people to cook? Shopkeeper Hu was a little unconvinced.

"Uh." Qi Ning was stuck, it seems that this dynasty is different from what was said in the history books of the previous life, is it the legendary parallel time and space? I can't say that I learned most of the dishes I know how to cook from the Internet! Once the true origin of his own is revealed, it is estimated that he will be burned as a monster firewood.

"This, I had a little adventure when I was young, I worshipped an old man as a master, the master has been studying cooking all his life, and when I met me in my later years, I passed on the book on cooking that he had written for many years, and taught me for a while." Qi Ning made it up.

Shopkeeper Hu nodded and asked, "Even so, we won't ask more." I wonder if Miss Qi is willing to sell us those books? ”

Qi Ning looked at the three masters and servants in the house: "Naturally, I am willing to sell it to you, but my family suffered disasters one after another last year, and those books were buried by mudslides." But everything in the book stuck in my head. I just don't know how many dishes you're going to have? ”

Shopkeeper Hu laughed knowingly when he heard her words, he thought in his heart that Qi Ning didn't want to take out the book so he made an excuse. The ancients paid attention to inheritance, whether it was martial arts or craftsman skills, whether it was passed on from elders to descendants, or from masters to apprentices, they would not let irrelevant people know at will.

Shopkeeper Hu glanced at Xiao Gongzi and continued: "I don't know how many dishes the girl knows? ”

"I'll say too much, and say less or less, but your restaurant is located on a bustling wharf, and the decoration is so luxurious, presumably restaurants in other places are probably the same, right?"

"That is, our Xiao family's restaurant, whether it is in the capital or in the northwest of Lingnan, is located in the most prosperous area of the city. Although it is not in the city, it is adjacent to the wharf in the east and the official road in the west, but it is a good location for merchants to gather. ”

"That's it, my dishes are expensive and cheap, I will prescribe you ten dishes that meet your identity according to the decoration of your restaurant, ten small stir-fried dishes?"

Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile: "Then the girl will make a price, we will not let the girl be busy in vain!" ”
