The weather has warmed up at the beginning of April, but it is still a little cold in the morning and evening, although it can be okay at night without a thick quilt, but Lu Xu is afraid that Yan Junqi will be frozen and cold.

He deliberately asked the neighbor's aunt who washed clothes to change three sheepskin jackets into a big coat, which was easy to check, and it was not entrained at a glance, and it was a quilt when he took off at night.

The clothes inside are also thick and thin, Lu Xu instructed: "Take off the outside when it's hot at noon, only wear the inside, cover it when it's cold at night, and cover it up to your stomach when it's hot......"

He was rambling, Yan Junqi was not a little impatient, and enjoyed Lu Xu's care and instigation very much.

Lu Xu took the notebook and read all the precautions he had collected for many days, checked them all again, made sure that there was nothing missing, and asked Yan Junqi to sleep.

They went to bed early today, and even Lu Zhou was ordered not to stay up late. It didn't take long for it to get dark, and I went to bed immediately.

They don't have an alarm clock, and no one in the neighborhood has a rooster that only crows, so they all wake up naturally.

Lu Xu was afraid that he would oversleep, so he asked Lu Zhou to pay attention to the time tomorrow morning, if he didn't get up in time, he would come to knock on the door and call someone.

Yan Junqi was moved and funny.

They are at the age of eating marrow and knowing taste, but half a month ago, Lu Xu automatically hugged the quilt and slept on the other end.

Usually Yan Junqi is reading at home, Lu Xu holds the medical book and reads it on the couch, obviously he can usually fall asleep when he reads the book, but this time he finished reading the medical book. When he was at home with him to study, Lu Xu also pulled him up every half an hour to do exercises.

Although he did not understand why it was called radio gymnastics.

Falling asleep too early tonight, he couldn't sleep, and Lu Xu couldn't sleep either, he could feel that Lu Xu wanted to turn over, but he tried to endure it.

"Brother Xu." Yan Junqi shouted softly.

"Sleep!"

"I can't sleep."

Lu Xu turned over, "Nervous?" ”

"I don't know." Yan Junqi leaned over to him, and Lu Xu had already moved over with the quilt.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to sleep."

"Okay."

Yan Junqi stretched out his hand and was held by Lu Xu.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, Lu Xu got closer and kissed him on the forehead, "Sleep, you will definitely be able to pass the exam." If I can't pass the exam, I can afford it. ”

Yan Junqi leaned on Lu Xu's chest, playing with the strap of his clothes, thinking that he would not be able to fall asleep at first, and he didn't want to fall asleep soon.

By dawn, Lu Xu had already made a light breakfast. After breakfast as usual, Lu Xu put on a mule cart and sent him to the tribute courtyard.

Cars and horses were not allowed to pass near the Gongyuan, so Lu Xu parked the mule cart on the side of the road and handed it to Lu Zhou, while he accompanied Yan Junqi to the entrance.

He couldn't go any further, and waved goodbye to him outside the door as he had sent him to the hospital and township exams in the past.

Yan Junqi entered with the paperwork, and when he was about to line him, he suddenly heard Lu Xu calling him from behind.

"Junqi!"

Yan Junqi turned his head and saw Lu Xu raise his arms and compare a huge heart above his head.

Yan Junqi, who had never seen such a move, immediately smiled and made the same gesture towards Lu Xu.

By noon, the crowd of candidates gradually dispersed, Lu Xu and Lu Zhou brothers had nothing to do, Lu Xu simply drove Lu Zhou around Gongyuan Street.

During the examination, non-candidates are strictly forbidden to be within two meters of the Gongyuan, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling inside and outside the wall, and they can only look at the wall from a distance.

In order to prevent cheating, the wall of the Gongyuan is more than two meters high, and if you go around, you can't see anything except that it feels strict.

The two of them walked a long way, found the highest restaurant nearby, and climbed up to the rooftop of the rows of houses in the Gongyuan courtyard.

The tiled house was dusty, and it was impossible to see what it was like inside, and there was not even a two-story building around the tribute courtyard.

The brothers drank a pot of tea upstairs, and Lu Xu said, "Go back." ”

"Hmm." Lu Zhou glanced at the Gongyuan again, and he would also step into it in the future.

Lu Xu didn't know his brother's surging ambitions, and he drove the mule cart home, and he was still a little empty.

There are five days from admission to the end of the exam, what is he going to do in five days?

Lu Xu asked: "Let's eat delicious food, do we want to go?" ”

Lu Zhou was at a loss: "Don't you wait for Brother Jun Qi to finish the exam?" ”

Lu Xu: "Let's try which one is delicious first, and understand the craftsmanship of the chefs in Beijing." ”

Lu Zhou: "Oh! ”

Lu Zhou helped Lu Xu unload the mule cart and boasted: "Ah Mao said that the dishes you cook are better than the imperial kitchen." ”

Lu Xu said modestly, "Where can I compare, I won't be able to do what people will, I won't be able to, they won't, not on the same track." ”

Lu Zhou didn't understand for a while whether the eldest brother was modest or not modest.

Lu Xu went back to the house, counted the silver, packed a purse, and set off!

Lu Zhou inexplicably rose up again, the two of them were little dolls in the village who secretly took money out to buy candy while their parents were not at home.

They can't eat too much, so they order two or three signature dishes at a meal, and guess the ingredients and recipes of the dishes while eating.

Lu Zhou wanted to invite Ah Hao to eat together, but Ah Hao was going to his uncle's house to study these days, so he couldn't go out with him every day.

The capital is really different from other places, and the main cuisine styles of different restaurants are not the same, even if it is the same steamed dish, there are many practices in Beijing that Longxing and Shuozhou will not use.

In addition, with the popularity of woks, major restaurants have also started stir-frying, there are many rich people in Beijing, and the development of stir-fry is more developed than in Longxing.

Lu Xu heard that there was a stir-fried dish, and he had to order one every time, and he had already eaten many original recipes of others in five days.

Some are actually steamed and grilled, but they are fried or fried and then processed, and they have a different flavor to eat.

The abundance of ingredients in Beijing is incomparable to Guanyang, and many ingredients that are difficult to achieve in Guanyang and he has never added to the menu have also been seen here, and there are already chefs who use those ingredients in their dishes.

Lu Xu's inspiration notebook has many more pages, and he even thinks of ways to improve the dishes he has tasted and thought are insufficient.

It's just that every time he proposed to communicate with the other chef, he was refused.

Lu Xu had to regretfully write it all down in a small book.

When he gets old in the future, he will ask Junqi to help him organize the compilation, and he will pay for the version of the recipe to play.

The brothers were very happy eating and drinking every day, until they ate at a restaurant called Rui Xiang Lou.

This restaurant was specially recommended to him when Lu Xu was eating elsewhere when someone saw that he liked to eat stir-fried food, saying that it was one of the most popular restaurants in Nancheng in the past two years, and the main thing was stir-fried dishes.

Lu Xu came with great interest, but when he heard the menu, hehe, it's not the main stir-fry! This is clearly the recipe he provides to the restaurants he partners with all over the world!

He quietly ordered a dish of ground three fresh and a dish of mapo tofu.

It turned out that the menu was exactly the same as the menu he was forced to modify due to the limited ingredients!

He didn't have potatoes, he had a bunch of chickens and ducks at home, and in order to consume chicken, he came up with the idea of using steamed chicken wrapped in flour and fried to replace the potatoes in the three fresh.

Guanyang doesn't have a suitable bean paste, his mapo tofu is the best local bean paste, in order to ensure the taste, he also deliberately wrote which one to use.

There is obviously a better one in Jingzhong, he bought it at the pickle shop a few days ago, but this one still uses Longxing bean paste.

It's really original, and it hasn't changed at all!

Lu Xu put down his chopsticks and pondered.

"Brother." Lu Zhou said in a low voice: "There is no such restaurant that our family cooperates with. ”

Lu Xu nodded.

In the past few years, they have come to Guanyang to find them to join the restaurant to learn stir-frying, and in the past few years, their recipes have run farther than Lu Xu. Every year, he gets dividends for the menu, which is also an important input for his family.

After Lu Xu started to run the business road, Lu Wen did everything to join, and Lu Xu didn't remember whether there was a restaurant called Ruixiang Lou in the restaurant they cooperated with, but he was sure that there was definitely no restaurant in the capital to go to Guanyang to study.

If there is, even if Lu Xu was not in Guanyang at the time, with Lu Wen's shrewdness, he would definitely revise the contract with them, and he would never want such a big capital to limit only three cooperation, if the content of the contract was changed, he would definitely mention it to Lu Xu.

Lu Wen didn't mention it, that is, absolutely nothing.

Lu Xu put down his chopsticks, called the guy over, pointed to the dish and said, "Your dish is not authentic." ”

"What?"

Lu Xu: "I said that your dishes are not authentic, and the seasoning is wrong." ”

The guy is speechless, there are many people who want to eat overlord meals, and no one has used this angle yet!

The guy smiled and said, "This guest officer, our ingredients and seasonings are the most authentic. ”

Lu Xu: "Did you buy this bean sauce from Tonghuifang, it's not spicy." ”

The guy laughed, "Our soybean paste really wasn't bought from Tonghuifang." ”

Lu Xu: "Where did you buy that?" ”

Man: "I bought it outside Beijing, and we have it in Beijing, so I can't tell you if the villain can't tell you." ”

Lu Xu: "Exclusive secret recipe?" ”

The guy said proudly: "Exactly." ”

Lu Xu: "I've eaten it in other homes, and it's clearly better than yours." ”

Man: "The other stores are learning from us!" ”

Lu Xu: "This dish is really your original?" ”

Man: "How can this be fake?" You went all over the capital to ask, is there a restaurant that has more stir-fried vegetables than mine? ”

Lu Xu: "So all your dishes are original?" ”

Man: "Exactly! ”

Lu Xu smiled and sighed: "Do you have pen and ink?" ”

The guy was dazed: "Pen and ink? ”

Lu Xu: "I'll write a recipe, you can take it to your master's house to see." ”

The guy frowned: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lu Xu: "You go and get it." ”

The guy was a little impatient: "Our family runs a restaurant, and there is no pen and ink." ”

Lu Xu: "It's okay, then I'll say it in public." ”
