Pei Baohu was shocked at the time: "What? All in one place! It's too expensive! Grab the money! ”

Yi Xing also nodded: "Well, it's a bit expensive." ”

Su Muyang's expression collapsed at that time.

Is this too expensive? Isn't the praise just now from the bottom line?

He adjusted his mentality a little and took a deep breath: "Expensive, but great value for money!" ”

"It's better to let the fireman go and try a dish now, right and wrong are at ease in the hearts of the people!"

"You see, here's what you've done...... Uh, black nest head, you just need to explain the method of this black nest head to the pyrotechnic again, let it do it too, and you can naturally distinguish the high and low! ”

Pei Baohu's face darkened: "What black nest head?" That's a cake! Don't slander my craftsmanship, it's delicious, I don't believe you can taste it! ”

As he spoke, he handed the "black nest head" to Su Muyang.

Su Muyang was stunned, and after seeing the details of the "Black Nest Head", he immediately felt like a great enemy, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, it doesn't matter what it is, the key is that the pyrotechnic will definitely be able to do better than it!" ”

Gongsun Li and Yi Xing glanced at each other and nodded: "Okay, then let your agency people try it." ”

Pei Baohu led the fireman to the back kitchen.

Everyone sat outside, and vaguely heard Pei Baohu read the recipe of mutton and Hu cake in the water basin to the fireman, and then the sound of chopping meat sounded in the back kitchen, and it seemed that the fireman had started to cook.

Then, Pei Baohu walked out.

"How?" Gongsun Li asked with great concern.

Pei Baohu shook his head: "I don't know!" Anyway, I've already taught it all the recipes, so I can't say what kind of dishes I can make. ”

"I couldn't help but point it out for fear of staying in the back kitchen, so I came out."

Gongsun Li's face couldn't help but show a worried look: "Let the agency people be the chefs...... We must have a bad brain. Mr. Su, are you sure that the pyrotechnics are okay? I don't want it to be really delicious, just don't break our pots and pans, those cooking utensils are freshly bought and very expensive......"

Su Muyang snorted coldly and drank the tea slowly: "Don't worry!" The pyrotechnic is the most satisfying person for me, he can do anything! ”

Seeing that Su Muyang was so confident, everyone couldn't say anything, so they had to wait patiently.

After a while, there was a "beep" sound in the back kitchen.

Pei Baohu stood up suddenly: "It's done so quickly?" I'll check it out! ”

Everyone craned their necks and waited expectantly.

Soon, Pei Baohu came out of the back kitchen with a tray in his hand like last time, but his expression was a little strange.

After placing the tray on the table, everyone looked closely at the food in the tray and were all stunned.

"This ...... Isn't that similar to how a tiger cooks? Gongsun Li was shocked.

Yi Xing was silent for a moment: "It can't be said that it is more similar, it can only be said that it is completely consistent." ”

The Hu cake and mutton in the water basin made by Pei Baohu before were still on the table and had not been poured out, so everyone could clearly see the contrast between the two.

The same are all black, round Hu cakes, which look like they are burnt, making people lose their appetite; It is also a bowl of mutton that looks like a paste, a big bowl full, and it does not have the crystal clear appearance of the soup of mutton in the water basin sold in other restaurants and restaurants.

If it weren't for the fact that Pei Baohu was really waiting with everyone outside when the fireworker was cooking, everyone might have suspected that Pei Baohu was cooking again this time.

Everyone looked at Su Muyang in unison.

But even Su Muyang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't imagine that things would turn out to be the way they are.

It can be seen that his confidence in the pyrotechnic has been severely damaged.

Gongsun Li asked tentatively, "Mr. Su?" ”

Su Muyang looked at Pei Baohu: "Are you sure what you told the fireman is the correct recipe?" ”

Pei Baohu nodded: "Of course, I'm very sure!" This is an out-of-print recipe that I bought at a great deal of money from the black market! It is said that both the Hu Cake and the Shui Basin Mutton came from the clouds, but after a long period of evolution and development, they have lost their original taste. And this out-of-print recipe is the original recipe of Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton, which is extremely valuable! ”

"My friend in Yunzhong also mentioned that the real Hu cake and water basin mutton are actually very different from the popular ones in Chang'an City. It's a pity that the real recipe for Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton has been lost. ”

"I still rely on my well-informed and well-connected people in the underground black market to get it!"

"But ......"

Pei Baohu changed his words and said a little embarrassedly: "The person who sold me this recipe said that it is extremely difficult to cook real Hu cake and mutton in the water basin, and there can be no mistakes in the ingredients and heat, so far no one has been able to cook real Hu cake and mutton in the water basin with this recipe." ”

"So...... He sold this recipe to me cheaply. ”

There was an awkward silence in the inn, and Gongsun Li and Yi Xing supported their foreheads one after another.

This stupid tiger, what should I say about him?

Such a simple trick can be fooled?

It's no wonder that he has a nickname called the Money Loss Tiger, just this kind of manifestation of frequent brain short circuits, and if you can save money, then there is a ghost!

Su Muyang coughed lightly: "The misunderstanding has been resolved, this is not a problem of the pyrotechnics, it is a problem of the recipe!" In that case, can you pay the money first? You can collect recipes slowly. ”

Pei Baohu was resolute: "Impossible, my recipe is absolutely fine!" ”

The two were at a stalemate, when suddenly there was another sound of footsteps outside the inn.

Li Lin pushed the door in with a few of Yu Hengsi's catchers.

"I heard that Brother Pei, your inn has opened, it's really gratifying, I specially brought a few brothers from Yu Hengsi to cheer you on."

"Huh? Meals are ready? I happened to be hungry after a day of inspection, so let's try Brother Pei's craftsmanship. ”

Everyone in the inn stood up one after another, making way for Li Lin and Yu Hengsi's catchers.

Li Lin sat in front of the Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton made by Pei Baohu, while an older catcher sat opposite him, that is, in front of the Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton made by the fireman, it seemed that he should be Li Lin's deputy, and he had the highest status among the many fast catchers.

"It's ...... Black nest head? Li Lin looked at the Hu Biscuit in front of him and said with some uncertainty.

Gongsun Li hurriedly said, "My lord, this ......"

However, before she finished speaking, Li Lin had already taken the Hu Cake to her mouth and took a bite.

"Ahem! ...... vomit"

Li Lin's expression suddenly became extremely painful, and he hurriedly picked up the mutton in the basin on the table and took a sip of soup.

He originally wanted to use mutton soup to wash away the taste in his mouth, but he miscalculated, and his face became even more ugly!

I have to say that Li Lin is indeed a man, and he didn't spit it out in front of everyone, but swallowed it forcibly.

Seeing this situation, the catcher who was sitting opposite Li Lin froze.

He also held a black piece of Hu Biscuit in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know whether to eat it or put it down.

Li Lin's face sank: "What are you doing in a daze?" Eat. ”

Obviously, Li Lin would never allow himself to be the only one who ate this dark food.

Everyone watched silently, whether it was the Yaotian team or Yu Hengsi's other catchers, they all showed sympathetic expressions.

Sitting on the opposite side, he barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and after doing a lot of ideological struggle, he barely tore off a small piece of black Hu Biscuit and put it in his mouth.

Li Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Pei Baohu and Gongsun Li.

He was suspicious of Pei Baohu again.

According to common sense, the inns are all open, but they haven't found a reliable chef at all, but they make the food so unpalatable, why is this?

If the food tastes good, it's just that no one comes, but now, the food is unpalatable beyond imagination, and Li Lin really can't think of any other possibility other than "deliberately making the food unpalatable".

This matter naturally became extremely suspicious......

Gongsun Li saw that things were not good, and he was already thinking quickly about countermeasures, thinking about how to deceive Li Lin again.

However, at this moment, the eyes of the catcher who was sitting opposite Li Lin suddenly lit up, and he said in surprise: "It's delicious!" ”

He had only tore a small piece of cake and put it in his mouth, very cautiously, and had no expectation of anything from this black thing.

Because his appearance is really bad, and Li Lin's desperate expression has already made him feel danger in advance.

But as the cake entered, it was found that it was not the case at all.

It's delicious!

Although it looks dark from the outside, it has a sweet and crispy texture after eating it, and when you chew it carefully, the fine residue is moistened by the saliva, which is simply fragrant and has an endless aftertaste.

Catch quickly picked up the mutton in the basin on the table and took a sip, showing an intoxicated expression again.

What a rich lamb soup!

Unlike all the mutton in the basin that I have drunk before, although this pot of mutton soup does not look so clear and moist, the flavors of various ingredients have been completely integrated into the mutton soup, and the various flavors are layered, but they are perfectly blended together, which makes people want to stop.

While eating Hu Cake in a big gulp, he drank mutton soup in a big gulp, and ate it like a whirlwind.

Li Lin, Pei Baohu, Gongsun Li and others were all stunned.

What's going on?

Such a dark food, this catcher actually eats it with relish?

Even Li Lin was a little puzzled, thinking that there was something wrong with his sense of taste, so he tore a piece of Hu Biscuit again and tasted it.

"Vomit ......"

It was another mouthful of mush, and I took the tea and rinsed it a few times, and finally suppressed the taste.

"Do you mean ......?"

Li Lin had a guess, took a hu cake from the plate on the opposite side, tore a small piece and put it in his mouth.

This time, his brow furrowed.

Delicious!

These two things look similar on the outside, but they are not the same thing at all!

The taste is too bad, right?

The bread he ate himself was mushy and burnt, and there was a bitter taste in his mouth, and when he took a bite, it seemed like chewed charcoal; On the other side, the Hu Cake is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the crust is crispy just right, and you can feel the fat and sugar in the Hu Cake blooming in your mouth after you enter it, and the aftertaste is endless.

It's not the same food at all!

Li Lin looked at Pei Baohu, his eyes full of incomprehension.

Gongsun Li reacted quickly, and hurriedly explained: "Master Li, that's the case, the portion you ate is actually the experimental product we made before, and it has been left for a little longer, and it is already cold." What this big brother eats is the new dish we just made. ”

"You sit down and eat, I don't even have time to explain."

"Why don't you go and throw away all the food in front of Master Li, and let the back kitchen make another one for the adults of Yu Hengsi?"

Gongsun Li glanced at Pei Baohu, Pei Baohu immediately understood, took away all the mutton and Hu cakes in the basin in front of Li Lin, and then came to the back kitchen and asked the fireman to make a few more portions.

Soon, Pei Baohu held the tray and put a few portions of prepared mutton and Hu cakes on the table.

Yu Hengsi's catchers sat down one after another, and the inn soon sounded the sound of chewing hu cakes and eating mutton in the basin.

These catchers were very involved in eating one by one, and even Li Lin seriously ate all the whole pot of mutton, and ate three more Hu cakes in a row, and then stopped satisfied.

Li Lin ate to his heart's content, and his previous doubts were all gone.

Obviously, this is a misunderstanding!

He originally thought that the Caitian Inn was open, but he deliberately made the food so unpalatable, mostly under the guise of opening the inn, and used it as a cover to secretly carry out some plans that could not be discovered by Yu Hengsi, such as searching for the mysterious mechanic.

But now, the misunderstanding has been cleared up!

It turned out that the food was so unpalatable, it was not deliberately to drive away customers, but to experiment!

Although the taste of the prototype and the final product are very different, it is reasonable that they are similar in appearance.

Li Lin stood up and took out a large handful of Tongbao from the money bag: "Thank you Brother Pei for your hospitality, brothers, let's go, you still have to work." ”

The catchers stood up one after another, thanked Li Lin for his treat, touched their round stomachs, and left the inn.

Gongsun Li let out a sigh of relief.

It's dangerous!

She didn't expect Yu Hengsi's people to come so quickly.

If Li Lin suspects their true purpose of opening the inn, maybe he will send a lot of Yu Hengsi's catchers to monitor the Yutian Inn layer by layer, and then the situation will become very passive whether the Yaotian team runs or stays.

There were also two uneaten Hu cakes on the table, and Gongsun Li broke a small piece and put it in his mouth.

Immediately, her eyes lit up.

It's delicious!

Although it is not clear why the food made by the fireworker is not different from the food made by Pei Baohu in appearance, but the taste is very different, but in any case, this time it is a fluke, as long as it is not suspected by Yu Hengsi, then everything is easy to say.

Mr. Su...... Hey, what about Mr. Sue? Gongsun Li looked around, only to find Su Muyang in the corner.

Su Muyang, who had become nonexistent, coughed lightly: "Yu Hengsi, these catchers are rampant and oppressive to the good, I feel disgusted when I see them!" ”

"It's time to prove that pyrotechnics are okay, right? So ......"

Gongsun Li smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Mr. Su!" ”

She looked at Yi Xing: "Go and get the money to Mr. Su." ”

Yi Xing is now in the account room, came to the counter, took out the consistent money and handed it to Su Muyang.

Su Muyang took the heavy money in his hand, checked it with satisfaction, and turned around to leave the inn.

Pei Baohu also tore off a piece of Hu cake and tasted it, and then said in surprise: "Strange! The recipe was obviously taught by me to the pyrotechnics, and the method is the same, why is the taste so much worse? ”

Yi Xing pondered for a moment and then said, "It seems that the recipe you got is indeed true. ”

"You said that the person who sold your recipe said that it is extremely difficult to cook real Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton, and there can be no mistake in the ingredients and heat, and no one has been able to cook real Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton with this recipe so far."

"This also explains why the popular Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton in Chang'an City are so different from the original Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton in Yunzhong, and even the appearance is completely different."

"Because this method is too strict on the amount of ingredients and the heat during cooking, take Hu Cake as an example, as long as the ingredients are wrong and the heat is a little bigger, there is no way to achieve the kind of charred outside and tender inside, fragrant and crispy, but will be directly baked, and the entrance is full of bitterness."

"It is precisely because the people of Chang'an were unable to make the delicious Hu cake and mutton in the water basin that they were able to make improvements to these two foods, and finally became what they are now."

"The fire work is the mechanism, and the amount of each ingredient and the cooking heat can be accurately controlled, so as to restore the most perfect and original Hu cake and water basin mutton!"

"So, although the food you and the firefighter make looks similar, the taste is very different."

Pei Baohu couldn't help but suddenly think: "I see! ”

"Look, I just said that the recipe I found was fine, right? If I hadn't found the recipe, how could the real Hu Cake and Water Basin mutton be rediscovered? ”

Yi Xing laughed hesitantly: "Okay, this time you made a mistake and made a meritorious service." Li Lin's suspicion of us should be dispelled for the time being, and we can continue to keep an eye on us in the future, and many things will become much more convenient. ”

"Now this situation is the most beneficial for us."

"The business of Taiping Restaurant is so hot that it cuts off almost 90% of the customer flow, and not many customers come to us. As long as we make a painstaking appearance, but there are no customers, we will not attract the attention of Yu Hengsi. ”

"Moreover, we use the inn as a base, and it will become very convenient to keep an eye on and monitor, and we can also deceive Yu Hengsi, saying that we are pulling guests by wandering on the street."

Everyone nodded, and the originally disrupted plan seemed to be on the right track again.

However, at this moment, I heard a sound of footsteps outside.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see several catchers wearing Yu Heng's official uniforms walking into the inn and asking, "Boss, I heard that your Hu cakes and mutton in the water basin are delicious?" Our brother is hungry on patrol, give one to each of us! ”

……

Three days later.

Yi Xing sat at the counter, crackling the abacus, and put a lot of Tongbao into the counter.

Pei Baohu constantly shuttled between the back kitchen and the living room, delivering the steaming tub mutton and freshly baked Hu cakes to each table on the tray.

Gongsun Li greets guests in the guest hall.

The inn of the entire Caitian Inn was already crowded with people, and there were even many people who had no place to sit, so they could only stand at the door, holding up the Tongbao in their hands, just to be able to buy two Hu cakes to take away!

Yi Xing finally took time to take a break, looked at the overcrowded inn, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

O iniquity!
