Chapter 17 Wish to cook a little fresh

The fact that the two daughters of the Gui family entered the inner doors of the two immortal courtyards was a sensation back then.

Although the immortal of Longan is just repairing a flower shelf, the people outside have no way of knowing, and they are naturally extremely envious. In recent years, the incense of Kui Yingcheng Niangniang Temple has been particularly vigorous, and many people pray to have a pair of twins like the Gui family. Even drinking a bowl of wine to make osmanthus dumplings before giving birth has become a custom within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Therefore, the shopkeeper Du was instantly excited, and even said that he was not well greeted, and asked the Gui sisters to move upstairs to sit in the private room, and diligently introduced the characteristics of Tianxiangju.

He rubbed his hands and said: "The most famous thing in this store is two kinds of wine, the autumn moon is white and refreshing, the fragrance is long, and the autumn water is fragrant and sweet, and the stomach is blood-replenishing. A few side dishes with sake are also worked on. He looked at the Gui sisters and hesitated a little, "It's just that the two little fairies are afraid that they won't be able to drink the bar... ”

Gui Yuan shook his head, "We don't drink, but it's good to try the famous appetizers, so Shopkeeper Du recommends a few specialty dishes." ”

The shopkeeper Du hurriedly agreed to let people arrange it, and many of the appetizers in this kind of wine-selling store are ready-made, and the dishes will be delivered one after another after a while.

The first is a plate of braised peanuts. The whole peanut was carefully removed from the top half of the shell, and the remaining half of the peanut shell was like a container, each containing no more than three plump red peanut kernels, neatly stacked on a plate. The heat is just right, soft and glutinous but still chewy, and there is a little fragrant marinade wrapped between the peanut kernels and peanut clothes, which bursts in the mouth when you bite into it. Although it is a home-cooked dish, it is surprisingly exquisite.

Then came up the bad yellow croaker, and the shopkeeper Du introduced that this dish used the aged lees in his own winery. Take the fresh and fatty yellow croaker to remove the scales and bones, fry the fish body with a flower knife and fry it in oil, and then soak it in the marinade for a day and night. Osmanthus and longan hurriedly raised chopsticks to taste, the yellow croaker is chilled, and when you bite it, you only feel that it is strange and fresh into the bones and tongue. The fish meat after absorbing the dregs and marinated meat has distinct petals, with a strong aroma of aging, and there is sweetness in the salty and fresh.

Osmanthus is not very suitable for the taste of bad marinade, just taste it, but the longan is like flying chopsticks, eating the ground eyebrows and smiling.

The third side dish is a plate of raw crabs. Du shopkeeper is afraid that a few people will not be used to eating, and said that this is the latest fresh river crab used, after washing and chopping, only wine and green onion and ginger are used to pickle, and the crab meat has a fresh sweetness, but there is no fishy smell. When eating, drizzle a little special pepper vinegar, which has a unique flavor.

Seeing that my sister and Senior Brother Wang were embarrassed, Gui Yuan took the initiative to be the first person to eat raw crabs. According to what the shopkeeper Du said, she dipped it in rice vinegar and bit it gently, and felt that a ball of soft and tender and cold crab meat with a smell of wine and sweetness slid directly into the stomach from the tongue, and it melted in her mouth, and she couldn't help laughing: "This is good, I always think it is troublesome to dismantle the crab, but it is a bite of meat to eat like this, and I don't even have to vomit the crab shell." ”

Later, a number of cold dishes and hot dishes were served one after another, not of which were not precious materials, but everything was done delicately and carefully. After eating a meal, Gui Yuan felt that he had almost counted it, obviously Tianxiangju mainly used river seafood, and mostly used cooking methods such as sake lees wine and drunkenness, and the dishes were exquisite and tidy, especially suitable for drinking, but it was a bit similar to the izakaya in the previous life. But such a business line obviously has its problems.

Gui Yuan seemed to chat with the shopkeeper Du casually, and asked him if the fairy market was about to be gathered, but he was ready to launch some means of attracting customers. Shopkeeper Du smiled bitterly: "Gui Xianzi doesn't know, my restaurant usually has good business, but it mainly relies on the reputation of regular customers. When the fairy market is gathered, there are many places in the world, but the business of small food stalls and restaurants is particularly prosperous. ”

Gui Yuan thought to himself: "That's it, it's boring to drink alone, but if you invite friends and companions, it will inevitably take time to eat wine and food." In those days, people were only afraid that they wanted to go to see the excitement and buy new things, so how could they have so much time and mind to sit down and taste it slowly. ”

She pondered it for a while, and said to the shopkeeper Du with a smile: "Then I don't know if Boss Du is interested, what about doing more business during the fairy market this year?"

Although Shopkeeper Du Jing Guiyuan is a disciple of the Immortal Academy, the future heavenly immortal, but she is still young after all, and she has never heard that the immortal also understands the business scriptures, so she can't help but be suspicious. Gui Yuan was confident, she only had a general idea before she came out, but Tianxiangju had already formed a clear plan after a meal. Talking eloquently at the moment, not to mention the shopkeeper Du, even Osmanthus and Wang Dazhi listened to it.

When Gui Yuan endorsed Senior Brother Mao in the alchemy room and promised to show Shopkeeper Du some methods of Xianjia cuisine, Shopkeeper Du was already very willing, and he really felt that there must be seventeen or eighteen magpies on his roof this morning, and he didn't think about why Senior Brother Mao still went to eat balls every day if he knew how to cook.

After saying goodbye from Tianxiangju, before Osmanthus had time to speak, Gui Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know in my heart, this matter has a small risk and a big benefit, even if it can't be done, Tianxiangju only consumes some limited ingredients and manpower, but it has something to do with the fairy courtyard, and Boss Du also sees this point so easily to agree." In fact, the division here is secondary, Tianxiangju has a unique location, which is very important for my next plan, and I will win their cooperation even if I suffer a loss. ”

Her next step was to go to the bookstore, so she asked Senior Brother Wang if he had any recommendations.

Although Wang Dazhi didn't know much about what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Xiaogui's senior sister, in his opinion, the few things she just said with the shopkeeper Du were very reasonable, and she was promised by Guiyuan to participate in a piece of the pie. This is the most famous bookstore in the neighborhood. They have a wide collection of books, and they also print their own books, and even some books related to immortal cultivation can be bought here. ”

Osmanthus also came to be interested: "Legend has it that Langhuan blessed land is where the Emperor's book collection is located, here in the name of Langhuan, and there are immortal books for sale, which is not related to the fairy courtyard." It's just that mortals can't cultivate immortals, so what's the use of them buying these books?"

When I walked in to see, I found that there were several houses with terrazzo and blue brick floors, and the walls around were snow-white, and there were several large windows on them, which was very good for the lighting in the room. Probably because the time was wrong, there were not many customers in the bookstore, and a middle-aged man wearing a turban and a little fat was taking a book, sitting near the door and shaking his head and looking at the ground, looking like the owner of the bookstore.

Looking inside, many Huanghuali bookcases are neatly arranged in rows, and they are full of books and booklets. A row of extra grandeur near the door, the new version of "Three Lives and Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Apricot Blossoms", "Fan Dad, Fairy Dad", and "In the Name of the Immortal Master" exudes the fragrance of ink, shining and eye-catching under the illumination of several bright moon pearls.
