On June 24, the team from Xiaqiu Village set out, carrying another batch of glass mirrors, binoculars, and 20 large wooden barrels.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion left ten people to continue to guard the village, but Zhu Taiyi and the four of them left together, and the guards rotated, and they didn't go home for a long time.

At noon, everyone arrived at the Danqing store, and all the work in the store was done, only to install glass on the windows of the greenhouse.

Xiaocao guards the store by himself, he only cleans and guards the door, and still pays him fifty yuan a day.

When he saw the people from the village coming, his eyes were red with excitement: "Finally here, I'm not interested alone, I sit at the door during the day and rub the hemp rope, see how much I rub?" ”

He asked everyone to see the fruits of his labor, and he began to rub such a large bundle that others had finished their work and left.

The chief is distressed, and Han Han will not stay alone in the village.

"Xiaocao, where are you going to eat on your own day?" The captain looked at the grass, but fortunately he was not hungry and thin, and he still had a big waist and a round waist.

"When I was eating in Fuhua Building, I asked the guy to send me a portion, the leftovers of the guests were the best, and they were rich and ruined.

The guy told me that the four of them ordered a table of dishes, and just after eating for a while, two more people came, and the table was removed and served again.

At this time, I have a good meal, which is really fragrant, and it is better than the box lunch you made. ”

Xiaocao said about his own situation and compared it.

"That's because you only pay three yuan for food, and you take three thousand yuan to see."

The chief is unhappy, what will I do with a few pennies? I really should let you go to Xiaqiu Village to see it.

"You're the grass? Don't worry, we're here, we're going to eat at noon and late, and we're going to make it for you. ”

The chef in charge of cooking in the village smiled and told Xiaocao that he had brought nine people with him, as well as some of the dishes that were going to be cooked.

After the house is cleaned up, it can be regarded as turning on a new fire and burning the stove, otherwise you can directly bring vegetables, which is only half a day's journey.

The things were brought over, and the rest were taken away by the guards in the palace.

Mrs. Zhu and the four of them went to the prince's mansion first, and then went home with their gifts.

A large pot is set up, the children help pick vegetables and light the fire, and the people in the kitchen have their own division of labor, and those who cook cold dishes are separated from those who make meat dishes to avoid getting sick.

The big pot rice makes a lot of meat at a time, and the cutting board can't be cleaned at all, and you have to change the cutting board when you eat raw meat.

Half an hour later, Xiaocao stared at the food on the table in amazement.

Pot-wrapped pork, teppanyaki mutton, fish-flavored shredded pork, steamed carp, home-style tofu, crispy pork with salt and pepper, eggplant, garlic cowpeas, fried chicken in sauce, beer duck, spinach and ginger soup, crucian carp stewed pork ribs.

The staple food is rice and dumplings with three fresh fillings, and the side dishes are also four meats, four vegetables and four dried fruits.

Xiaocao was stunned for a while, pointed to the iron plate mutton and asked, "Is this iron underneath?" ”

"Of course, the iron plate mutton is iron, try this boxed lunch that can't be eaten for three cents." The governor still remembers!

"I smell the fragrance outside, and sure enough, you hide and eat something good."

The voice of the shopkeeper Xu came from the door, and he brought a few guys, serving a tray with vegetables on it, and there were four ways to learn from Xiaqiu Village.

"Shopkeeper Xu is here, and I'm about to invite you! Sit down. The lieutenant got up and said hello.

The guys helped put down the dishes, turned around and went back to their restaurant, Xu shopkeeper washed his hands, smiled at Hanhan, and smiled at Xiaocao.

He already knew that the people from Xiaqiu Village were coming, and they needed to pass by the door of Fuhua Building, and the guy was not blind.

He estimated the time and asked the restaurant to cook four dishes, each dish serving four, and the number of people in the village estimated that there would be four tables.

It is indeed four tables, plus Xiaocao, there are a total of thirty-six people, nine at one table.

Shopkeeper Xu came over and sat down at the table of the chief, he took a look, and found that there were several things he didn't know, okay, try it!

"Zhu Lichang, you can't finish eating these, right?" Shopkeeper Xu found a table of sixteen dishes.

"The chef of Fuhua House found three of them and ate them together." The chief understands what the other party means, if he doesn't want a recipe, then find someone to eat.

"Good! I'll be right back. Shopkeeper Xu was not polite at all, turned around and left, and in less than twenty breaths, he brought three chefs.

The chef comes to eat with a task, eats very slowly, and tastes carefully.

As a result, I saw that the coat eggplant began to frown, how did this cut? Try beer duck again, what seasoning?

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's better than Fuhua Building, I'm willing to spend ten, no, thirty to eat once." Xiaocao justified the name of the lunch box through comparison.

"You don't have to spend money, you can eat for free every day." The lieutenant became happy, look, let's just say that our boxed lunch is not ordinary!

"Yes, yes!" Xiaocao was very happy, he liked any dish.

Shopkeeper Xu took a sip of wine: "Zhu Lichang, there is something for you to know, the shop opposite me and the Luoyun Zhai opposite you have changed, I don't know who it is." They all moved away. ”

"Uh-huh!" The chief coughed: "I know who it is, is it...... Xiaqiu Village. ”

"Xiaqiu Village! Listen...... Yes? You bought it? Shopkeeper Xu's eyes widened.

He knew that there were people behind the pawnshop and had dealings with many officials, how did he buy it?

As for the four treasures of the study, it is easy to do, find an official person to press, scare, people will sell, but no one is optimistic about the position.

"It's a long story, anyway, go back to the village, and eat for a while to see, otherwise we will have to wait a few days before we come."

The lieutenant didn't mention that the prince helped the lord buy it, and he owed His Royal Highness the prince eight thousand guan.

Shopkeeper Xu was silent for a moment: "It's still rich and powerful in your village." ”

He thought that he had made a move in the palace, and people were invited to come over to watch the ceremony, and the crown prince and concubine were the people who had seen the saint today.

"What kind of money is there, I owe a lot of famine, hey! Not to mention, I'm just the chief. ”

The lieutenant is modest, we are not crazy, we only did some small things for Daming.

The two sides chatted about other things, and the shopkeeper Xu introduced his Fuhua Building because there were a few more dishes, bread and cakes, and there were many customers.

After the meal, Shopkeeper Xu called the guy to bring the leftover dishes back to Fuhua Building and give them to the others to eat.

The people in Xiaqiu Village originally planned to heat it up and eat it at night, but they asked for it, so give it to it! Remember to send back the iron plates, plates, etc.

"I'm not afraid of being bad this time, I'll do something else at night." The man in charge of the kitchen shrugged his shoulders.

As soon as the shopkeeper Xu returned to the restaurant, he beckoned the guys and the people in the back kitchen to eat.

"Taste them all, the first time I saw the dishes put on the iron plate, this method is good! Especially in winter, it is not cold to eat. ”

Shopkeeper Xu carefully looked at the iron plate, there was an edge, and the mutton and other things were put inside, and the juice would not flow outside.

"Shopkeeper, we don't know how to work with the knife of this eggplant, it's called the Clothed Eggplant, the empty and connected ones inside look similar to the lattice when weaving the clothes."

The best chef in the restaurant uses chopsticks to pick up the uneaten eggplant, like a continuous fishing net, as is the case when the clothes are knitted.

"Could it be a little hollowed out?" The other chef shook his head after speaking, and he couldn't eat it when he was done.
