Tongfu Inn is separated from the Hantie Courtyard by three alleys, and it is also in Xianyuanfang.

Tongfu Inn occupies a fairly small area, but the facilities are simple. Upstairs is the room for guests to stay, downstairs is the restaurant, counter and kitchen, and the backyard is where Bao Yingjun's family lives.

To Qin Ziling's surprise, Bao Yingjun's father was quite handsome in appearance, except for being thinner and smaller. So when Qin Ziling saw Bao Yingjun's father, he once wondered if Bao Yingjun would be the old Wang next door.

However, when Qin Ziling saw Bao Yingjun's mother, who was nearly one meter eight tall, with a big head and a big face, and a face full of flesh, he immediately dispelled that conjecture.

For Qin Ziling's arrival, the shopkeeper and his wife were very surprised, and even had a feeling of being flattered, entertained him very warmly, and asked Bao Yingjun about his situation from time to time, which made Qin Ziling feel like a home visit.

"Handsome, tenacious, and highly perceptive, he is a material for martial arts." Qin Ziling commented.

"Really, really? Our family is handsome and has a talent for martial arts? We saw that he was weak and small, and every time he went home from martial arts, he was either black green here or there, saying that he accidentally hit him when he was practicing with the apprentice of the martial arts hall, and thought he was not practicing martial arts! The shopkeeper and his wife couldn't help but be very excited when they heard this.

The muscles on Bao Yingjun's bruised and ugly face on the side trembled, and the gaze that looked at Qin Ziling was very complicated, there was surprise, excitement, and an indescribable gratitude.

Since he was a child, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed by outsiders because of his size, appearance and stuttering, and even the shopkeeper of his inn has laughed at him in private.

It was the first time he had heard someone praise him like this!

"When you practice martial arts, injuries are always inevitable. Suffer a little now, and you can suffer less in the future! However, the handsome root bones are indeed a little weaker, and the consumption of martial arts is large, so he usually needs to be given as much as possible. Like Yiyuantang's blood pills, the blood tonic effect is still good, it is best to give him a few pills every month, and other meats should not be missing. In this way, we can strengthen our qi, blood, muscles and bones, and make rapid progress. Qin Ziling said.

The shopkeeper and his wife glanced at each other when they heard this, showing a look of embarrassment.

After a long time, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "Mr. Qin, I don't hide it. In the past, with your words, I would definitely buy blood pills for Yingjun every once in a while, but now it would be good to be able to ensure a daily supply of meat. ”

"I don't think the scale of your inn is small!" Qin Ziling was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Alas, Mr. Qin doesn't know anything. Our inn is mainly engaged in the accommodation business of merchants or other travelers who come to the city to do business. A few years ago, the world was quite peaceful, there were many people coming and going, and business was not bad. But in the past few years, the world has become more and more chaotic, and the road is not safe, except for the increasing number of refugees and displaced people, and the number of merchants and other travelers is getting fewer and fewer, and our business is not as good as day by day! The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.

"That's true, but since the accommodation business is not good, you can focus on restaurants. Anyway, your inn was supposed to provide accommodation upstairs and food downstairs. Qin Ziling proposed.

"We've thought about that, but for a restaurant to run well, you have to have a few signature dishes. Our restaurant used to be mainly a tenant business. These tenants are unfamiliar, and they often run outside, usually eat and sleep, full and hungry, as long as they are full, they are not very picky about eating, eat here in my place, in addition to the taste is average, but it is very convenient and the amount is full, so generally not particularly picky about eating tenants, will eat directly at my place. ”

"But now that there are fewer tenants, if you want to do the food business of the city people, with my mother-in-law's cooking skills, I can't attract many customers at all. I wanted to find another cook, but the skills were similar to my mother-in-law, and once I met a good cook, but the salary was too high. Alas! The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Phew, what's there to shake your head and sigh! As long as our family's handsome is the material for martial arts, even if I sell this inn, I will give him daily supplements! Seeing her husband shaking his head and sighing, Qian Huihua slapped the table and said.

Qian Huihua slapped the table, and the thin body of the shopkeeper obviously trembled, and then became more and more bitter melon face.

"Mother, mother, Qin, Senior Brother Qin is here, he, he used to be a scholar." Bao Yingjun saw that his mother's true nature was revealed, and hurriedly reminded.

Qian Huihua suddenly realized that the action just now was too violent, the fat on her face trembled, she lowered her head and fiddled with the hem of her skirt with her hands, and said angrily: "Mr. Qin, don't laugh, my temper is easy to lose my temper when I am in a hurry." ”

"Haha, it's okay, the life of a family should be like this, how can there be a harmonious voice all the time, Wen Xuan." Qin Ziling watched Qian Huihua put on a woman's cowardly look, goosebumps almost got up all over her body, and she hurriedly waved her hand with a smile.

"What Mr. Qin said is so right!" When Qian Huihua heard this, she immediately loosened her skirt, her thighs were split, a pair of golden knives, and she had a majestic posture, and said: "Mr. Qin, you can get to the bottom of it, does my handsome family have any hope of becoming a martial artist at the level of cowhide, if there is, I will let it go, and it is a big deal to sell this inn!" ”

Looking at Qian Huihua's decisiveness and ruthlessness, Qin Ziling somewhat understood where Bao Yingjun's hidden ruthlessness came from.

"As long as Bao Yingjun is okay with his tonics, with his heart and natural qualifications, the cowhide level will definitely be fine. But it's not enough to sell inns, I will know a few family heirloom dishes, if Mrs. Bao is willing to learn, I can teach you now, I want to make a sign for your Tongfu Inn should be no problem. Qin Ziling said that behind him, his body exuded a strong confidence.

Just kidding, all he can remember in his head are classic recipes left over from the great waves of gold in another world.

There are those for fine dining, and there are those for the masses.

Pick a few to make the signature dishes of Tongfu Inn, that is not trivial.

The three members of the Bao family all looked at Qin Ziling in a daze.

They never dreamed that Qin Ziling would come up with such an idea, and he was unashamed and full of confidence.

Of course, no matter how confident Qin Ziling's posture is, the Bao family doesn't believe that he can make enough dishes to be the signature of Tongfu Inn.

However, since Qin Ziling opened this mouth, the Bao family didn't believe it anymore, and they had to give him face at this time, so after being stunned for a while, the Bao shopkeeper and his wife hurriedly got up and said insincerely: "Of course we are willing to learn, but we are afraid that we will be too tired of Mr. Qin." ”

"Why don't you just cook a few dishes, there's nothing to worry about, it's not too early, just now, I'll have to guide the handsome homework later." Qin Ziling waved his hand.

The shopkeeper and his wife had no choice but to look at each other, and then reluctantly led Qin Ziling to the kitchen with Bao Yingjun.

The customer base of Tongfu Inn is mainly the general public, and the general food taste is relatively heavy, and the materials are mainly large, cheap and full.

Therefore, Qin Ziling selected dishes from his mind that were relatively simple to cook and suitable for the common people to eat.

One is braised pork, one is mapo tofu, and the other is called flower chicken, plus braised pork and rice.

It's too much, it's too time-consuming, and it's not necessary for the time being.

When Qin Ziling's first mapo tofu came out of the oven, he almost didn't brighten the eyes of the three members of the Bao family, and even ate Qian Huihua with a handful of snot and tears, sweating profusely in winter.

When the last dish was baked, the three members of the Bao family were grateful to Qin Ziling, and even the shopkeeper hurriedly went to the inner room to take out nearly half of their savings to give to Qin Ziling to express their gratitude.

They were the ones who opened the inn, so they naturally understood that the meaning of these four dishes to their inn was extraordinary.

Qin Ziling is not short of this little fortune now, so he naturally will not accept it, and he helped Bao and his wife to let them have more financial resources to support Bao Yingjun to practice martial arts.

Qin Ziling didn't accept money, and the people of the Bao family naturally became more and more grateful.

Bao Yingjun's progress was much faster than Qin Ziling imagined, which surprised him, and Bao Yingjun's character could be regarded as temporarily passing his test, so this time, Qin Ziling was more careful in his guidance.

It wasn't until the time for the city gate to close was approaching that Qin Ziling left in a hurry.

……

In the evening of the next day, Qin Ziling came alone to the drunken incense building opposite the "Huayun" gouache rouge shop.

Qin Ziling asked the shopkeeper and learned that Zheng Xinghan was already in the No. 3 private room on the second floor, so he went straight to the second floor.

When he was at the staircase, he just looked up and saw two men walking towards the staircase, one of the younger men whispered in the ear of another slender middle-aged man, and then the man's eyes when he looked at Qin Ziling suddenly became sharp, and he also reached out to stop Qin Ziling who was about to enter the second floor.
