Chapter 42 Haidilao
With the sound of "bang", the hot water rushed down the edge of the pot into the bottom of the pot, rolling the oil cubes and the ingredients and flipping back and forth several times, and the strong aroma rushed throughout the restaurant.
"County Lord, what is this? It smells so good! ”
Chun Tao stood next to Yan Yuhuan, looking at the cauldron curiously, Yan Yuhuan smiled mysteriously, and said, "This is a good thing, called hot pot, you will know how delicious it is in a while." ”
As she spoke, the water in the pot was boiling, Yan Yuhuan put the meat slices prepared in advance, and after a few seconds, she fished them out again, and she reached out to call the shopkeeper.
I saw the shopkeeper holding a delicate small bowl in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "County Lord, this is prepared according to your instructions." ”
The bowl in the shopkeeper's hand was a dipping sauce arranged by Yan Yuhuan in advance, she nodded, put the meat slices in the bowl and dipped them, and then handed them to the shopkeeper, and said with a serious expression, "Eat it." ”
"Well, the county lord...... Hmmm......"
Yan Yuhuan's notoriety is outside, the shopkeeper has never seen such a thing as hot pot, and he was subconsciously worried that he was being tricked, and he wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Yan Yuhuan stuffed the meat slices into his mouth.
The people next to him were shocked and didn't dare to speak, Yan Yuhuan's temper was very clear to them, and they secretly pinched a cold sweat for the shopkeeper.
"Hmm, hmm, it's delicious, the minions have never eaten anything so delicious."
In the eyes of everyone, the shopkeeper's eyes widened, he was full of praise for the hot pot, and even took the initiative to put the dishes in the pot to try.
Yan Yuhuan tried hot pot for the first time, but he was at a loss, but when he saw the shopkeeper's praise, he was relieved and beckoned the guys to come and taste it.
In a few days, the hot pot has become popular all over the streets and alleys, Yan Yuhuan looked at the soaring banknotes on the account with satisfaction, and was determined to become bigger and stronger.
She renamed the restaurant Haidilao, with hot pot as the first feature, and personally trained the guys, advocating that restaurant service is the top priority, preparing uniform clothing for the guys, and changing the restaurant's business hours to 24 hours.
"It seems that modern things are still very useful in ancient times! Although the various institutional ideas are different, the tastes are very similar, after all, who can withstand the temptation of hot pot? ”
Yan Yuhuan sat by the window of the private room of the restaurant, looking out, waiting for the crowded crowd to eat hot pot, so it was not lively. She pinched a grape in one hand and played with the abacus twice with the other.
Rejoicing in his ingenuity, Chun Tao burst in panting from outside.
"County Lord, it's not good, we just announced that we would open for business for twelve hours, and the imperial court decided to curfew."
She bent over and gasped for air, apparently running back from outside.
"Where did you get the news from?"
Yan Yuhuan sat up straight, with a hint of anger in his tone.
Chun Tao stretched out her hand and pointed out the window, "I saw it on the list posted outside, many people are watching over there, I think eighty percent are coming at us, what should I do, county lord?" ”
"Don't panic, think of a way."
There is no need to guess to know that this is the cheap father deliberately looking for trouble for himself, Yan Yuhuan quickly thought about what the emperor wanted to do.
Before she could come up with an idea, the shopkeeper hurriedly came and said in a half-lowered voice, "County Lord, there is a distinguished guest downstairs." ”
"What distinguished guest? It's good for you to go and receive me, I have to go home and discuss something with my mother. ”
Without waiting for Yan Yuhuan to walk to the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly caught up and said worriedly, "I'm afraid it won't work, the county lord, the slave has worked in General Yan's mansion and has seen the prince, and the one downstairs looks exactly like him, and his conversation is extraordinary, and he said that he wants to see you." ”
Yan Yuhuan is slightly flustered, the shopkeeper is the old man of the General's Mansion, and there will be no fake. I want to come to the prince, this is a private visit to Weifu.
It's just a hot pot, and even the prince is alarmed? Could it be that the prince has any private property, and his own restaurant has affected his business?
Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
Yan Yuhuan slowly went downstairs, followed by the shopkeeper and Chuntao, the two looked flustered, but Yan Yuhuan was very calm.
Isn't that the crown prince? She's still a princess! Half-siblings, they won't lose their heads, right?
She stood on the stairs and looked down, and there was indeed a young man who knew the dignity of gold and jade at a glance at the large round table in the center.
Although the wear is simple and simple, the folding fan in the hand is worth thousands of dollars, the fan bone of white marble, the fan of the famous handwriting, if you are not a person who has seen the world with a family background, it is difficult to detect its identity.
"Is this just the one who wants to see my son?"
Yan Yu smiled happily, bowed slightly to the prince, and deliberately did not reveal his identity.
The man turned his head and looked at her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked at it from top to bottom, and said, "It's abrupt, I just listened to the shopkeeper, this is a dish developed by the girl, I am curious about what kind of ice and snow smart people think of such a good product, so I want to meet, by the way, I hope the girl can solve the doubt." ”
Tsk, although he was polite, he didn't click on it from beginning to end, and his eyes were full of scrutiny, which was obviously the demeanor of the superior.
This man is indeed the crown prince. Yan Yuhuan secretly wondered if he had heard anything about the prince before, and found that he didn't know anything.
I would have asked my mother in advance!
Yan Yuhuan shouted in his heart, but he had no choice but to smile on his face, "If there is anything wrong with the son, I will know everything." ”
"It is said that cooking is not hot and cold in one place, this hot pot puts everything together to cook, is it a loss of yin and yang harmony?"
Have a meal and engage in yin and yang?
Yan Yuhuan rolled his eyes in his heart, and said with an unmoved expression on his face, "Meat belongs to yang, vegetables belong to yin, in hot pot, you can eat both meat and vegetables, I think, this is the greatest harmony of yin and yang." ”
After she finished speaking, the prince raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
And said, "I didn't expect that you really understand yin and yang, that man is yang, women are yin, parents are yang, and children are yin, I don't know if this girl understands it?" ”
Yan Yuhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem that she came to her restaurant, it was still her mother and the emperor's business, but it sounded like it had something to do with her.
Yan Yuhuan straightened his waist and said loudly, "Childe, look at my restaurant, most of them are a family who come to eat hot pot together, and a family together is the real harmony of yin and yang, conforming to nature, regardless of husband and wife, father and daughter, only Hu lives up to it, and it is serious." Hot pot follows this principle, and other things should be the same. ”
The prince hooked the corners of his mouth, he always knew that Yan Yuhuan was a sharp-toothed straw bag, but it was just a sharp-tongued straw bag, now it seems that this is not the case, this person understands the importance very well.
Since this is the case, he doesn't have to pretend anymore, he got up and said, "Father wants you to enter the palace and eat hot pot as a family, let's go!" ”
