Chapter 216: Eating
"This is Miss Xu, who opened a tofu workshop in Xiaobajiazi Village. Book Lovers "
After Quan Nan said this, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Xu Miao carefully, and quickly nodded and said:
"Ouch, it's the famous Miss Xu, hurry up, upstairs, please, upstairs, please, if you don't come, I'm going to look for you after the New Year, please, please, the little one has no eyes, I don't even know it's a distinguished guest visiting......"
The crackling mouth was not idle, and the attitude just now was like a judgment between the two, Xu Miao didn't embarrass the shopkeeper too much, pulled Xu Ya and followed upstairs, San Lang walked behind, and Quan Nan followed Xiao Wu with him.
After the group went upstairs, they walked all the way to the innermost, and after stopping at the place, Xu Miao found that the door of this private room was different from the other private rooms. Vermilion, on a sign on the door frame, two words were written:
Qingju.
When Xiao Wu saw the word, he excitedly pulled Xu Miao and said, "Sister, it's Brother Ouyang's handwriting." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, clasped his fists and saluted, and said:
"The master's vision is really accurate, this word is from the hand of the eldest prince, our restaurant in Ouyang Villa has such a private room, and the plaques of this elegant room are all handwritten by the eldest prince."
Xu Miao nodded when she heard this, which counted as an answer. The shopkeeper pushed the door open, and after respectfully inviting the man in, he closed the door and said:
"Girl, it's a lot cleaner now."
"Hmm!" Xu Miao nodded.
When I was outside the door, I felt very noisy, but I didn't expect it to be so quiet when I came in.
The shopkeeper wiped the table and explained with a smile: "The girl doesn't know, this private room is not separated by partitions, it is made of green bricks, so this room is so quiet, and the door is also a thickened door. ”
When Xu Miao heard this explanation, she smiled and said, "What Brother Ouyang said is good. ”
"What do you want to eat, girl, please eat this small meal, and I have something to ask you for."
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, the door of the private room opened, and Xiao Er came in from outside, carrying a pot of tea in his hand, placing it on the table, and said:
"Shopkeeper, Ding Gongzi is here, and he brought two people, but this is ...... There is no place, Ding Gongzi said......"
Xiao Er hesitated when he said this, his eyes glanced at Xu Miao and them, and the shopkeeper immediately understood what it meant, shook his head, and said:
"You go and tell Ding Gongzi that there is a distinguished customer today, and there is no place in the store, let him go to another house instead."
"Hey, okay." Xiao Er got an answer, nodded and went out.
In Xu Miao's heart, she had almost guessed who Ding Gongzi was in the second child's mouth, but she didn't say anything, she didn't want to have anything to do with Ding Yunhe, giving them tofu, that was business, and the rest...... Forget it.
"Miss Xu, the sweet and sour osmanthus fish in our store is the most signature, and the crystal duck tongue is also delicious, and the red oil pork belly mixed with the tongue is even more delicious, if you come to eat in our store, basically these three dishes are a must-order."
After the shopkeeper finished wiping the table and pouring tea for the five of them, he began to introduce the specialties of his shop.
"If you eat for five people, in addition to these three dishes, there is a golden silk vegetable roll, half moon sinking river, four dishes and one soup, there are meat and vegetarian, enough."
When Xu Miao heard this introduction, she was also very satisfied, nodded and said:
"Then there is the shopkeeper Lao, just these five dishes, and a few bowls of rice."
"Okay, the little one will go over and order, and Miss Xu will talk about the small things after eating the small one." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Xu Ya looked at the closed door and asked curiously, "Sister, what is the matter with this shopkeeper?" ”
When Saburo on the side heard this, he put down his teacup and said:
"It should be related to our dried tofu."
"Well, Saburo is right." Xu Miao nodded, at the beginning, she didn't hide her secrets at all, and it is estimated that there is this dried tofu in other restaurants, but there is no one in their county.
Ouyang Minrui once said that in the county and Fucheng, he does not set up a tofu workshop, and mainly relies on her side to supply. To put it bluntly, people are just taking care of them, if it is really opened here, there will be nothing to do with her Xu Miao.
Xu Ya looked at her sister and brother, pursed her lips slightly, and asked:
"Eldest sister, can our tofu shop be busy in the spring?"
Nowadays, there are a lot of tofu products at home every day, and this dried tofu has not been made for a long time, and it is also because of the lack of space and manpower, so it has been shelved.
Xu Miao saw Xu Ya's worry, took a sip of tea, nodded, and said:
"Don't worry, it's busy, you just need to take care of the factory, and keep up with the quality and quantity, and the rest is me and your brother."
Xu Ya smiled and nodded, drinking her tea, and her sister said that there was no problem, that was the problem, and she didn't have to worry about the rest.
Quannan sat a little embarrassed, I don't know how many times I scolded Quandong, there is such a table in this room, I am an adult, it doesn't matter if the four of my sisters and brothers eat at one table, they are all a family, but I ......
Xu Miao didn't pay attention to Quannan at first, but Xu Ya kicked her under the table, and Xiao Nizi noticed it. Seeing Quannan's restless appearance, he put down the teacup, pursed his lips and smiled, and said:
"What? Feeling upset? ”
"Uh......" Sennan was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
Xu Miao took the teapot and refilled himself with a glass of water, and said: "There is nothing to be sorry for, I don't say so much, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the four of you also have to eat at the same table with me, so let's get used to it first." ”
"Miss Xu, this ...... It's not ...... Not good. Quannan still disagreed.
Xu Miao looked at Quannan's appearance and shook his head funny, "Aren't you Jianghu people informal, why are you still in trouble now?" Sit here and eat with peace of mind, I don't have that much face, let the shopkeeper get you a single table. ”
After saying this, the four siblings all grinned. Xiao Wu even got into Quannan's arms and coquettishly, "Second master, my eldest sister said that it's okay, it's okay, it's all a family, why do you eat at separate tables." ”
It's all a family, these five words made Quannan feel uplifted, and the softest place in his heart twitched, and he nodded and stopped insisting. Xu Miao looked at him, holding the teacup comfortably and drinking it slowly.
I don't know how long it took, but the shopkeeper came back again, and the meals were ready. Xu Miao looked at the shopkeeper who served them food, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. If it weren't for the toss of the past year, I would have come here to eat today, let alone the shopkeeper serving the food, I guess there would not even be a place.
Since people respect you, you naturally have to go back.
Thinking of this, Xu Miao smiled and said, "If the shopkeeper doesn't dislike it, just sit down and eat together, let's talk about things while eating, what do you think?" ”
"This ......"
Since ancient times, men and women have not sat at the same table at the age of seven, and the shopkeeper hesitated and did not dare to speak. Xu Miao immediately understood his scruples, shook his head with a smile, and said:
"I didn't say so much, I once had dinner at the same table with the fifth master and Brother Ouyang, since I chose to do business, I shouldn't have that twisted hypocrisy, shopkeeper, do you say?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and when he realized that he was out of shape, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying:
"Don't blame the girl, don't blame the girl, the little one is just too surprised, I didn't expect that one of your daughters' family would have such a wide opinion."
"Alright, sit down." Xu Miao smiled and pointed to the chair opposite and didn't speak again.
Each of the five dishes on the table is exquisitely presented, making people feel pleasing to the eye just by looking at it. Sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour osmanthus fish, Xu Miao took a bite, it tasted good and delicious.
Looking up just in time to see the shopkeeper's expectant eyes, Xiao Nizi nodded and said with a smile:
"It tastes good, no wonder it's a signature dish."
"If the girl likes it, it's fine." The shopkeeper said with a smile. Although he had chopsticks in his hand, he didn't eat or drink like the people who didn't sink in his body, and helped them fill the soup, and the shopkeeper sat down in the chair again, looking down at his dishes.
Xu Miao ate for a while, looked up at the shopkeeper, chuckled, and said:
"How much dried tofu do you plan to ask for every day?"
In a word, the shopkeeper, who was still bowing his head, raised his head "fiercely", and after seeing that Xu Miao's expression was not like a joke, the shopkeeper hurriedly replied:
"If this is a new dish, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people who will come to eat, and this dried tofu is conservatively estimated to cost about 100 catties a day."
Xu Ya and San Lang both widened their eyes when they heard this. Xu Miao is quite acceptable, after all, such a restaurant, if they can't sell this amount, then there is no need to open it. Just as he was about to speak, the shopkeeper said:
"Miss Xu, this can't help but ask us for Qingshuizhai, Yu Hezhai in your town, and the Ouyang family's restaurant in Fucheng, the eldest prince said, I want goods from you, and the price is yours."
When Xu Miao heard this, he nodded understandingly, thought for a while, and said, "Well, when are you going to serve this new dish, did Brother Ouyang say it?" ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded, "The eldest prince said that the entire Liaodong Mansion has not been on this, and it will be in May and June, when the weather gets warmer, and then it will be on this, and what will be eaten with dipping sauce." ”
The shopkeeper had only heard of dried tofu, but had never seen it, so he didn't understand this very well. Xu Miao understood Ouyang Minrui's thoughts when he heard it, in the countryside in summer, most of them eat water and rice and dip pickles.
It's cool, refreshing, and delicious.
If that dish is added to this place, it will also be a pretty good business opportunity, and the key is to give yourself some time to build a tofu workshop while this time is ready. Thinking of this, Xiao Nizi nodded and said:
"Yes, as for the price, we will discuss it later."
"Okay, okay."
