Chapter 25: Konjac Tastes Good and Doesn't Make You Fat (I)

Secretary?

Sanshui touched his head, completely confused: "Young lady, ......what are you talking about?" ”

Oh, they don't understand the word!

Her round eyes rolled: "That's it...... Those who help with small and small affairs in the store, follow your young master. After a pause, he added, "Girl." ”

Girl? Could it be that the young lady is ...... Paraphrasing?

Sanshui was startled, and quickly shook his head and waved his hand: "Mrs. Hui, no, there is no such girl!" "The happiness of the master's marriage is closely related to their subordinates! If you're not careful, you'll become a punching bag!

"Oh? Is it? Hua Mohu said suspiciously. Is it too hot? Why is he sweating profusely all of a sudden?

This rhetorical question entered Sanshui's ears, adding a bit of threat to extract confessions. He nodded heavily and emphasized: "Really, young lady, I don't lie to you. Except for the two aunts who cook in the room, the whole store is men! ”

"So weird?"

"The young master said that he was used to getting along and working with men, and he was more comfortable."

"That'...... Will he usually organize everyone to go to the flower building after work to drink a little wine, listen to a little song, and beat his back? ”

"Back to the young lady, the young master has always only rewarded us with silver to add food to our supper, and never took us in and out of the land of wind and moon."

It shouldn't be.

Hua Mo touched her chin, so to say, someone is also at the age of blood and strength, and he is not close to women at all, so it is too unreasonable, right? Could it be ...... That's right! She slapped her thigh in realization, remembering the last time she had fallen down the hill, he had said he had intended someone in the past. It must be his old lover who is jealous and too strict!

She recovered the eighth woman's face and continued to ask in a low voice, "Has your young master ever brought his old friend back to the store?" ”

"No, no." Sanshui resolutely defended the innocence of the young master of his family, and said decisively, "There has never been any other red face powder around the young master, only you, the young lady." ”

"That ......"

"Young lady, we have arrived." As soon as the carriage flickered, Sanshui immediately interrupted her digging and asked, "Come, I'll help you get out of the car." ”

Sanshui, who is afraid of causing trouble, hasn't heard about Qiu Lanxi yet. Hua Mo pursed her lips and got out of the carriage in a huff.

The golden signboard was dazzling by the sunlight, and she raised her eyes to look at the four big characters-

Longen Rice.

Xie Zhu Longen, well, the very straightforward name of the store, echoes the [Grace of a Meal] on the plaque in the Hefu Hall.

Regarding the origin history of the rice shop, He Bo and Sanshui have already introduced it to her.

Legend has it that before the emperor entered the palace at an early age, he had to go to the study every day to study, except for birthdays and reunion festivals, almost all year round. One day, he neglected to copy the font, perfunctory, and was criticized by the master and then secretly ran to the market to play. Because he was penniless, he was hungry and begged for food and was repeatedly refused, but the owner of the Hejia millet shop at that time saw that he was pitiful and handed him a bowl of rice that was enough to wrap his stomach.

The well-dressed child squatting on the side of the road and burying his head in the rice is too conspicuous. A few street runners met and pondered, and they were sure that this child was from a big family, and after being robbed in the wild, he wanted to extort ransom.

The Hua family has been farming for generations, and the son of the ninth generation of Shan Chuan happened to be fertilizing in the field, and when he saw a few little hooligans bullying other children, he saw that the road was uneven and poured dung to help, so he rescued the little emperor.

That night, the little emperor was found and picked up by the guards, but he always remembered the two benefactors. After ascending the throne, he was given a plaque with the inscription "The Grace of a Meal" to the He family, and was used as a long-term supplier of tribute rice to the imperial court. And the son of the Hua family had nothing else to ask for except the wealth of the farm house, so he was given a mansion and ten thousand taels of gold.

Thanks to God's grace, the two families received their rewards at the same time, but they went in the same direction.

The He family is diligent in business, and the ancestral industry can be carried forward and passed down from generation to generation. And after the Hua family got a windfall, they didn't do anything, they ate nothing, and when they came to the generation of Hua Zhiyu's father, all the houses were lost by him, and in order to avoid debts, he could only take his wife and daughter to flee back to the ancestral house to live a poor life.

I can only sigh, it is really the blessing of the ancestors of the Hua family, after the emperor learned that his father's benefactor played a good hand of cards, he named the two Hehua families to marry, which is equivalent to directly issuing a long-term meal ticket, which is also benevolent and righteous.

"Well, young lady, you can go in." Sanshui watched her staring at the name of the store, and the guys in the store came out to greet her, and couldn't help but remind her.

Well? When were there two more lines at the door?

"Coming?" He Qingxian walked out of the account room, beckoned her to his side, and said aloud to everyone, "This is your young lady." ”

"Hello young lady-" swept his eyes, and sure enough, they were all male employees.

Hua Mo responded with a generous smile: "Hello everyone, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Gone? Just a sentence? He Qingxian was stunned for a few seconds, and then took her words: "After that, you can listen to the young lady's instructions." ”

"Yes!"

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Well? Hua Mo shook her head, she walked in a concise and concise style, and the kind of leader who talked too much nonsense was annoying.

He Qingxian was suffocated, is the hostess's appearance so brief? He added with a face: "For the time being, let's get busy!" ”

"Yes!" After answering in unison, the guys returned to their posts one after another.

Hua Mo was a little surprised, how could this formation, this discipline, still be a bit like militarized management? Is even the family business so strict now? What a roll!

"Come here." He lifted the curtain of the account room, and she followed, and as soon as she entered the room, the three old men looked at her in unison.

"Young lady." They called blandly.

"Three...... Hello uncle. Hua Mo noticed that these people were obviously different from the aura of the employees just now, especially the one in the middle, who was looking her up and down with a look that she couldn't distinguish and was not friendly.

He Qingxian introduced them one by one from left to right: "The store manager, Uncle Li." Accounts manager, Uncle Cai. Steward, Uncle Fan. They are all veteran employees of the rice shop and have a lot of experience. ”

Added up, isn't it a "financial fan"? Hua Mo snickered inwardly, and continued to behave on the surface: "In the future, I will bother the three seniors to advise." ”

Uncle Li and Uncle Fan finally nodded with a smile, yes, this kid is very polite, not as strong as described in the daily newspaper, and the first impression is passable.

Only Uncle Cai, who was sitting in the C position, still had a straight face, bowed his head and silently calculated, and Hua Mo couldn't see any attitude towards him for the time being.

"Young master, this month's income has increased slightly, but it is still not enough to make up for last month's loss." Uncle Cai didn't pay attention to her, and was focused on work, "According to the old man's opinion, the acquisition of Shucheng fields will be postponed in advance, and it will be planned later." ”

"Well, I'll think about it another time." He Qingxian groaned and asked again, "Uncle Li, in the past few days since I was away, everything was normal in the store?" ”

"Young master, everything is working normally. And thanks to the young lady, there are more retail customers than before. "Uncle Li has lived for more than 50 years, and it is the first time he has seen the little couple passing by, and when the lady is coquettish on the spot, he has to carry a bag of rice from his man before he is willing to stop. He had only seen children wallowing around with their parents like this, begging to buy something to eat.

Uncle Li paused again, and then turned to look embarrassed: "However, the Internal Affairs Office sent Father-in-law Lian to inform him that the warehouse in the palace is still full, the rice and grain are sufficient, and there is still no need to pay tribute this month." ”

"In this way, I am afraid that this month's accounts will continue to be beyond our means!" Uncle Cai's eight-character beard was very anxious.

Uncle Fan asked, "Didn't Father-in-law Lian say last time that the Imperial Dining Room was already thinking about making new tricks for rice?" ”

Uncle Li replied worriedly: "It's useless." The ladies still refuse to eat rice noodles, saying that they are prone to obesity and edema, and their figures are out of shape. ”

"Flutter." Huamo couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect that this ancient concubine was also popular to quit carbs!

Uncle Cai looked at her grinning and was slightly dissatisfied: "Young lady, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that the rice in the store is about to be unsalable, how can she, as the wife of the house, still laugh! This woman, it seems, is only interested in the idle and useless things in the daily newspaper, and has no concern for her own business!

He Qingxian's gray eyes narrowed: "Madam, do you have any good suggestions?" "Don't say she didn't give a chance, she established her majesty in front of the old employees.

"This ......" for a while, how could you think of it! glanced at the few people present, good guys, there were two expectations in the four eyes, one disdain, and one to watch the show. Now the pressure is all on her, but the time is too short, so she can only hesitantly answer: "Hmm...... Let me think about it. ”

Uncle Cai sneered, and directly expressed his disdain with a cold snort, he already knew that she couldn't give any constructive advice.

"Okay, let's think about countermeasures these days." He Qingxian announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"Young master, then I'll go back to the room for lunch first. A few days ago, I exchanged dishes with the chef brought by the merchants of Shucheng, and I planned to make chicken for everyone at noon. Speaking of this dish, Uncle Fan was full of spring breeze and said with a smile, "Young lady, you can try more of my craftsmanship later." ”

"Good!" Hua Mo happily accepted Uncle Fan's kindness. Although she doesn't know what a weak chicken is, she can't let them know that she doesn't know, otherwise, the employees of the whole rice shop may say that she is a weak chicken.

Uncle Cai saw that she deserved to be happy, and only then did he realize that this was still a master who only ate and did not do things, and silently deducted ten points from the new young lady in his heart.

Flower foam, of course, felt a squint of disdain, and deliberately pretended not to see. I don't care what the old man thinks, anyway, compared to Uncle Cai, Uncle Fan is like a little angel!

Lunch time.

"Whoa." Look at her just now, she seems to be looking forward to a new dish? He Qingxian pushed the whole dish in front of her.

"This is the chicken?" She picked up a slippery piece of food and glanced at it a few times, "Isn't this konjac roast chicken?" "Why do you still have such a strange name?

"Anyway, that's the name of the dish." It wasn't a big deal, he sent a mouthful of food to his mouth, and saw that she was still observing the piece of worm, "Why don't you eat it yet?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." She held up the konjac and smirked, "There's a trick." ”

After the lunch break, the three old men gathered in the room according to the young lady's request.

"Young lady, is there anything serious about you letting us come to the room?" Uncle Cai asked angrily. It's not his job to cook, so why should he waste his time standing here?

"Uncle Cai, don't be impatient." Hua Mo turned around and moved a piece of raw konjac and put it on the desk, "Look here, everyone." ”

Uncle Fan saw a lot and wondered: "Young lady, this is Yu'er, what's so special?" ”

"It's especially low in calories, and it's not easy to gain weight after eating." Hua Mo patted the konjac and said confidently, "I used to eat a kind of konjac rice, which was made with konjac. ”

"Can this still be made into rice?" Uncle Li was skeptical, "What's the use of that?" Launching a new variety? ”

"Yes." She has not only eaten it, but also sold this product, so she almost made it herself. "Specially for the ladies and concubines in the palace. Aren't they worried that they will lose their shape after eating rice? Then let's make a kind of rice that doesn't get fat, so that they can eat it with confidence and eat to their heart's content! ”

She still remembers the production process: "Grinding the knack into flour, then kneading it into a paste with a little rice flour, then steaming it at low temperature to make it into strips, and finally cutting it into granules and drying it." Probably so, except that the shelf life is not as long as rice. "After all, there are no preservatives here, and the conditions are limited, so we can only make a similar try on the original first.

"This ...... The mode of production can be studied again. It doesn't sound very complicated, Uncle Fan can call his group of brothers who learned to cook together to help out, "But do you make sure this konjac rice?" Is it really not so easy to gain weight after eating? ”

"It's like a fake! Seven days no reason to return! It's a pity that she can't tell them what scientific research results are, let alone explain a bunch of nutritional terms, and there is only one way to prove the effect of konjac rice-

To see is to believe.

Why don't you just pump a few people in the store to do this weight loss experiment?
