Chapter 28 The people live on food
After the old man drove Shen Zhao away, he came to the dining room in a huff to find something to eat, but after tasting two bites, he frowned and spit out the thing, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Can't you make something new to eat?" Aren't you tired of eating these things every day? ”
The cook looked at the old man in embarrassment: "We are already working hard to make something new, or ...... Do you try this? ”
The old man glanced at the things that the cook was holding, his brows furrowed even more, and after tasting it, he spit it out again, and immediately drank a few sips of water: "Although, although I am usually a little picky about you, you don't have to poison me so hard, right?" ”
Cook: "............"
Maybe...... They're just a little unpalatable, but they shouldn't be enough to poison people, right?
The old man shook his head in disgust and left.
The old man dragged his feet, very lazy on the street, and when he saw food for sale, he came over, but the people in the restaurant saw the old man's sloppy appearance, and they all showed disgust.
"What are you selling?" The old man was finally attracted by the food from a stall, and asked curiously.
The vendor glanced at the old man, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, "This is red bean cake, it's just ...... This piece costs 30 yuan, do you want to buy it? ”
When the old man heard this, he looked at the vendor owner, "Such a small thing, you sell it for thirty yuan?" ”
The vendor owner said confidently: "Yes, don't look at this is just a small piece of pastry, but it is not easy to make, so it is naturally more expensive." ”
The old man looked at him deeply, and finally snorted coldly and left.
The vendor owner whispered at his back, "What beggar is going to buy it too?" What a bad luck! ”
"Boss, how are you selling this?"
When the vendor owner saw that there were new customers, he immediately smiled and said, "One piece for three cents, two dollars for five cents." ”
The old man walked and walked, and when he saw the bustle in front of him, he walked over curiously.
When I walked up, I found that it was a new restaurant opening.
"How do I remember that this wasn't the restaurant before?" The old man stroked his goatee and muttered.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a guy came to his side and asked him with a smile on his face, "Because our restaurant is newly opened, would you like to give it a try?" ”
The old man saw the enthusiastic guy, pointed to himself, and asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”
The guy smiled and said, "Yes, but we don't have a place here yet, if you want to eat, you can sit there and wait, during the waiting period, there will be free tea and snacks, why don't you try it?" ”
The old man's eyes rolled, "Okay, then try." ”
Under the guidance of the men, the old man came to a place and sat down, and as soon as he sat down, other men brought him tea and pastries.
Looking at the ordinary pastries, the old man pursed his lips, the free things are really not good.
"Goo......
Listening to the protest sound coming from his stomach, the old man could only "reluctantly" try this ordinary snack.
As soon as the snack was in his mouth, the old man's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This taste is very refreshing, and the fragrance of coconut is very strong, but there is no sweetness.
After a while, the old man had finished a plate of coconut milk cake, called the man, and asked, "Do you have any pastries?" ”
The guy smiled and said, "Yes, yes, if you want, you can get it again, but if you eat too much now, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it later." ”
The old man snorted, "If you take it, are you afraid that I won't order the main course after eating these pastries?" ”
The guy was scolded by the old man but he was not angry, he still kept a full smile, "Naturally not, this pastry is a new dim sum launched by our restaurant, your liking is also an affirmation of us." ”
After saying that, the man brought another plate of coconut milk cake to the old man.
The old man looked at the men who were always smiling brightly at the guests, and thought about it while eating the coconut milk cake.
The guy at this restaurant is a little interesting?
When the old man was about to eat the third plate, it was finally his turn, and the man took him to his place, and at the same time brought in the coconut milk cake that had just been brought to him.
As soon as the old man came in, he smelled a faint fragrance of bamboo, and then saw the elegant decoration of the restaurant, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The guy came to recommend dishes to the old man, and the old man waved his hand and asked the guy to recommend them all over again.
The guy looked a little embarrassed, and the guy on the side received the look and turned away, probably looking for the relevant person in charge.
The old man was surprised to see this.
He knew that these people must be worried that he would not have any money to give, so they showed this one by one.
Hmph, it's all a bunch of laymen.
After a while, Sheng Qingyuan walked out, came to the old man, and asked the old man with a just right smile on his face, "Do you want to order all our signature dishes here?" ”
The old man straightened his chest, raised his chin, and said, "What? No? ”
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Naturally, it's okay, but, are you here alone?" ”
"Why, you can't order food alone?" The old man asked unhappily.
Sheng Qingyuan shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course, one person can also order, but the amount of each dish we have here is not too small, if you order too much at one time, I am afraid that you will not be able to eat it and cause waste." ”
The old man snorted, "Are you afraid that I will waste or that I will not have any money to give?" ”
Sheng Qingyuan said calmly: "Food is not easy to come by, and it is naturally not good to waste it. As for the problem of food money, if the family is really in difficulty, we can understand it, and if we can provide proof of the family's financial difficulties, we have a special package to choose from. ”
As he spoke, the man took out a menu, which said that for the poor people who could barely afford to eat, a set meal only costs two or three cents, and there can be two meat, one vegetable and one white rice.
This is a novelty for the elderly.
If this is not a deliberate deception, then the owner of this restaurant is a kind-hearted person, but unfortunately, he is also a stupid person.
If everyone pretends to be in difficulty at home, at this price, can't eat her poor?
Sheng Qingyuan continued: "Of course, if the family is really difficult, you can naturally enjoy such a discount, but if you find out that you are maliciously concealing, deliberately cheating on the meal, or even want to eat the overlord meal, then ...... I can only work hard for him to make a human flesh sandbag when our guys practice martial arts. ”
The old man looked at the smile on Sheng Qingyuan's face, but as if he saw two knives, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "............"
Have a meal, should it be so scary?
"Okay, okay, okay, give me two dishes, if you can't satisfy me, you can wait and regret it!" The old man casually put down the menu and snorted.
"Okay, please wait." Sheng Qingyuan maintained a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't know to be angry.
When he returned to the back, the guy couldn't help but ask, "Second master, aren't you angry at all?" ”
Sheng Qingyuan glanced in the direction of the old man and said with a smile: "This old man is also quite interesting." ”
"That'...... What to do for him? ”
"I'll do it for him myself." Shengqingyuan Road.
The old man waited for a while, but he didn't see his food come up, so he couldn't help but call his man: "You shouldn't be trying to fool me, right?" Why hasn't it been served for so long? ”
The side dishes sent were so delicious, plus the previous pastries, he was almost full!
However, he smelled the aroma of the dishes on the tables next to him, and felt that the worms in his stomach were becoming more and more active.
The guy kept a smile and said to him: "Our second master said that she will cook this dish of yours herself." ”
"The second master?"
"The girl you just talked to is our second master." The guy introduced with a smile.
The guy was afraid that the old man would look down on her because of the identity of Sheng Qingyuan's woman, so he hurriedly said: "Although our second master is a woman, even ordinary men can't compare to her, her craftsmanship is especially good, you will know it later." ”
The old man looked incredulous.
Over the years, many people have said that the food they cook is delicious, but few of them are really delicious.
Not long after the man's words were finished, Sheng Qingyuan came with the prepared dishes.
"I've kept you waiting." Sheng Qingyuan opened the lid, and a fragrance entered the old man's nose, and the old man's eyes suddenly lit up.
It smells so good!
It's just that when he saw the two dishes in front of him, the joy on his face suddenly stiffened.
Two dishes in front of you, a braised eggplant and a stir-fried beef with bitter gourd.
It's a very ordinary dish.
The old man was dissatisfied: "This is the signature dish you are talking about?" ”
Sheng Qingyuan said calmly: "This is not a signature dish, but it is a dish suitable for you now." ”
"It's a mystery." The old man snorted.
At this time, he was already hungry, and although he disliked the ordinariness of these two dishes, he still tried them with chopsticks.
The moment the eggplant was in his mouth, the delicious taste hit his taste buds, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Sheng Qingyuan asked people to bring a bowl of rice and a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
After the old man ate the first piece of eggplant, he started the crazy and dry rice mode, until he couldn't eat anymore and had to stop chopsticks.
But looking at the unfinished dishes in front of me, my face was full of pity.
I knew I wouldn't have eaten so many pastries just now! He couldn't finish it.
The old man called the man, "What about you two masters?" ”
"Please wait."
Sheng Qingyuan came to the old man again, smiled and asked him, "Do you still like it?" ”
The old man looked embarrassed, "It's okay." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man burped.
Old man: ".................."
The old man coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and asked, "Why did you cook these two dishes for me, and prepare this tea?" ”
Sheng Qingyuan said lightly: "Because your liver is hot, you need to get off the fire." ”
The guy next to him lowered his head slightly when he heard the sound, he was afraid that he couldn't help laughing.
The old man subconsciously wanted to refute, wasn't this saying that he had a bad temper?
Sheng Qingyuan took the first step and said: "If the liver fire is strong, it will affect sleep, and it will also affect the daily mood, which is not good for body and mind, but these simple ingredients can help to get rid of the fire, so it also saves medicine." ”
Seeing Sheng Qingyuan so upright, the old man realized that this girl was not secretly saying that he had a bad temper, but really wanted to treat him with the right food?
"You know how to heal?"
Sheng Qingyuan nodded with a smile: "There will be some." ”
Old man: "Hmm............ Check out, though, I didn't have any money with me. ”
Dude: "??!!!! ”
How can there be such a reasonable person who eats overlord meals?!
Sheng Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, "Then how are you going to pay for this meal?" ”
The old man dug through his body, and finally took out a crumpled book and threw it on the table, "Then this book." ”
The guy finally couldn't help but ask: "Which famous book is this?" Why don't you even have a title? ”
The old man pointed to himself and said proudly, "I wrote it!" ”
