Zhang Yuan smiled and looked at Zhang Congquan with contempt,

"Old dog, don't be complacent, I will trample you under your feet after all to avenge the day!"

After saying that, Zhang Yuanyuan returned to the Drunken Xiao Pavilion without looking back, leaving Zhang Congquan alone to sulk there.

In other words, Hu Fatzi's craftsmanship is really not to say, if he dares to say second in the county, then no one dares to call it first.

In the office, I can't help but praise the dishes he makes.

But...... If it is just by relying on his craftsmanship or lack of gimmicks, now there are many people, mainly attracted by free meals and a five-fold discount, and when the price recovers tomorrow, it is estimated that there will be very few people who can come to eat.

This is like writing a novel in the 21st century, when I first wrote the first few chapters, I voted for the lottery and gave red envelopes, and after the work is on the shelves, it will lose a lot of readers, not to mention that now I am opening a restaurant, which is different from the novel, even if the food is good, people can't go to the restaurant every day, right?

But what do you need to do to attract the masses?

Zhang Yuan frowned and thought deeply while looking at the dishes in front of him, looking at the braised beef in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up!

Pregnant!

At present, I have not found any restaurant inn with sauced beef, I think it has not come out at this time, and Zhang Yuan's sister in the 21st century is doing this, so I know a little about the recipe of this sauced beef.

But if you want to make a sauce beef with both color and flavor, you must have an indispensable ingredient, bay leaves.

Bay leaves, also known as bay leaves, as the name suggests, are the leaves on the laurel tree, but the laurel tree is a plant that grows in the subtropics, likes heat, and is not cold-tolerant. So there is no here.

However, Zhang Yuan remembered that when he was in Zhang's mansion before, there was a bay tree potted in the house where he lived!

He didn't know how this potted plant came from, but now the important thing was how to get it.

It is obviously impossible to take it directly and generously, and for today's plan, there is only one way to steal.

The Drunken Sky Pavilion was open until it was getting dark, and the guests were completely dispersed.

Looking at the mess in the hall, only Qingwu Qingyu and Zhang Mei were cleaning up, Hu Fatzi was tired from frying vegetables for a day, and ran home to rest.

Zhang Yuan sighed, it seems that it is necessary for him to hire two more people, otherwise he will be tired of his own people first.

Shen Yunqing stood next to Zhang Yuan and stroked his hair, and said delicately,

"I said Zhang Yuan, big boss, it's dark now, you can't let me walk back by myself as a weak woman, right?"

"That's natural, you're tired from the day, so I'm going to rent a carriage to take you back. ”

Zhang Yuan arched his hand towards Shen Yunqing, and then was about to walk out of the door, but was grabbed by Shen Yunqing's arm,

"Hey, don't bother, I want to walk back, or ...... Will you send me back?"

Anyway, I still have something to do in a while, just send her back and come back to do things, Zhang Yuan thought.

"Let's go. ”

instructed Zhang Mei to clean up and rest quickly, just leave the door for him.

The two walked side by side on the street, like a couple, but they didn't say anything all the way. Until he arrived at the gate of Fengming Courtyard, Shen Yunqing whispered to Zhang Yuan,

"Zhang Yuan, thank you, besides, I know everything about you, I firmly believe that you are not that kind of person, and ...... I'm having a lot of fun today......"

After speaking, Shen Yunqing said goodbye to Zhang Yuan and walked in.

Zhang Yuan, who was helpless, shook his head and smiled bitterly, what does it matter if he trusts or distrusts him so far.

Look at the sky, it's already dark, it's time to get moving.

He hurriedly ran to the back door of Zhang's mansion, because he remembered that there was a dog hole in the wall of the back door, although it was narrow, but it was just right for Zhang Yuan's current figure and could squeeze in.

I hope that no one lives in my room now, and I hope that the pot of laurel is not taken away.

Quietly walking, as much as possible not to make a sound, after all, he is not from Zhang's Mansion now, if he is discovered, he will be treated as a thief, and the punishment for thieves in the Qing Dynasty is not light.

tiptoed to his yard, made sure that there was no one inside, gently pushed open the door and walked in,

"Hoo ......"

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Yue Gui is still there.

He picked up the pot in both hands, gently closed the door again, and walked back the way he came.

As he walked, he heard a conversation in the distance, and vaguely saw two figures, walking towards this side!

Zhang Yuan hurriedly hid behind a big tree next to him and put Yuegui down, holding his breath and listening to their conversation.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I'm sure I'll find this. ”

Listen to the voice, this is Zhang Congquan speaking. The other man continued,

"Remember, don't be caught looking for this thing, when it is done, I will give you a large fortune so that you can buy the Sun Mansion and fulfill your wish. ”

The two walked closer and closer, passing by the tree where Zhang Yuan was hiding, and then left.

After they walked away, Zhang Yuan picked up the potted plant and walked back quickly, drilled the dog hole and left.

Thinking while walking, listening to the meaning of their conversation, the other person who talked to Zhang Congquan should be the third gang, they were coercing Che Xiyu to do things at first, but Che Xiyu and Zhang Zhiye were dead, they found Zhang Congquan again, and made a deal with Zhang Congquan.

But what exactly is it?

Zhang Yuan couldn't think of a reason if he wanted to break his head, and finally thought about it, and the boat was naturally straight to the bridge. Anyway, what they talk about has nothing to do with themselves.

Back at the Drunken Sky Pavilion, everyone was already asleep by this time.

He lit a candle and put the laurel in his office, then went to the kitchen to find a piece of raw beef tendon meat and prepare to start his creation.

I probably prepared all the materials that need to be prepared according to my previous memory, but there is no way, and there are many materials that are not available yet.

First, soak the beef in water for a while to remove the blood, and then marinate it with green onion and ginger slices, etc.

Finally all the ingredients, the beef is put in water and begins to cook, after removing the most important four bay leaves from the office and throwing them in the pot.

About an hour later, the smell of meat had filled the entire room, and Zhang Yuan extinguished the fire and nodded with satisfaction.

He couldn't get out of the pot yet, and he had to simmer in the pot all night, so he locked the door to his office and went to the third floor to rest.

......

The next day, Zhang Yuan woke up early, and the first thing he did was to go to the kitchen immediately to check the beef in his sauce, but found that Hu Fatzi and Qingwu Qingyu were all talking around the pot.

First of all, the shopkeeper defended there,

"I really didn't lie to you, I really didn't make this beef, but I have to admit that it was delicious. ”

Then the light dance guessed,

"Could it be that Young Master Mei did it? I didn't see him early in the morning. ”

Qingyu said while munching on the beef,

"Forget it, whoever makes it, it's delicious, if not, I'll eat another piece. ”

Zhang Yuan was depressed on the side, how could these people not think that he did it,

"Ahem! I asked, this is what I did, how about it?"

"Ah???h

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Yuan incredulously,

"Boss Zhang, you can also stir-fry? I don't know how many times the method and taste of this beef are higher than mine. I've grown up to this old and haven't admired anyone in terms of cooking today...... I'm convinced. He gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up.

The light dance is also a light frown,

"Yes, young master, I never stood up and said you could cook. ”

Qingyu had already picked up the beef and chewed it on the side, and said vaguely in her mouth,

"Young master, this beef is so fragrant, Qingyu I haven't eaten such a delicious thing since I grew up, I didn't think you still have such skills, by the way, does that mean that we can eat the delicious food you make every day in the future." ”

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and patted lightly at Qingyu's little head, and said with a smile,

"It's just your gluttony, and it's not completely done yet, I'm afraid you'll eat it all according to your way of eating. ”

Then he said to the people,

"I think about it, if the company wants to develop strong, it must start to change from the most basic level, and in the future, we will be called by a unified name, and you will be called Chairman Zhang, referred to as Chairman Zhang, referred to as Zhang Dong. ”
