"Wait a minute!"

Wu Dalang returned to the store, put down the oil paper bag, and said to Pan Jinlian: "Ximen Qing asked me to come over, it must be to discuss the birthday banquet, this fried chicken will be sent another day, but it will be fried and not eaten, and it will be wasted." ”

"Give it to Brother Hun. Pan Jinlian sighed for a while and said: "Big brother, I don't think it's so simple to let you go to his house, it must be that Taijun thinks that our shop is small, and I am afraid that we can't do a birthday banquet, so I let you go over to test it." ”

"That's good, you know I'm the stupidest!" Wu Dalang was very worried: "Jin Lian, why don't you go instead of me." ”

"Big brother, how can there be a woman in this world to talk about business, even if it is not appropriate to accompany you, it will make people peep. Pan Jinlian smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The slave family guessed what questions they would ask you, and you answered like this, and after answering, you said that there was something at home, and you should say goodbye, and you must not stay, lest they ask more questions, but it is inappropriate." ”

"The second brother said that what you said is right, I will obey it!" Although Wu Dalang was a little uneasy in his heart, he believed in Wu Song very much, so he believed Pan Jinlian's words, and turned around to go with the servant.

"Big brother, wait a minute!" Pan Jinlian hurriedly took twenty copper coins from the counter and gave him them, and said in a low voice: "Give a reward to the servant, don't lose your courtesy." ”

Wu Dalang took the copper coin, quietly hid two, and then gave the other one to the servant, he naturally did not hit the axe, but was reluctant.

Yanliu Lane, on the Ximen Qing Mansion.

In the lobby sat an old lady, very energetic, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyes were lowered, half-open and half-closed, Ximenqing stood respectfully on one side, and on the other side was a dignified girl holding a deer's head cane.

"The villain Wuda kowtows to the old lady, I wish the old lady a body like a pine and cypress, and a long life!"

"Well, get up. The old lady opened her eyes slightly, turned her head sideways and said, "Qing'er, this martial artist looks ugly, but he also knows etiquette, and he is not a vulgar person." ”

"Mother, the child has already said that Da Lang is simple and steady, and no matter how the boy looks, as long as he has the ability, he can recommend it three or four times!

Wu Dalang listened to it and was moved in his heart: "It turns out that the old lady doesn't like me, it was Ximenqing who strongly recommended it, so he asked for a chance to meet, but what can I do, I have to say the words of the Golden Lotus Sect again, and leave after speaking, as for whether this deal can be done, it is also the will of God." ”

"I just said that he knows etiquette, and I didn't say that he can organize a birthday banquet, this birthday banquet is invited by the rich and virtuous people from Yanggu County and nearby prefectures and counties. ”

The old lady said sternly, her face was not commensurate with the Buddha beads in her hand, and she continued: "He has etiquette, so he doesn't know how to entertain VIPs?"

"Back to Taijun, we are only responsible for cooking, not serving VIPs!"

Wu Dalang copied Pan Jinlian's words, saying that he had no confidence at all, the old lady was stunned when he heard it, and he was speechless, Ximen Qing also secretly scolded this Wu Da for being confused, but he also said: "Da Lang must have a deep meaning when he says this, but he can say it in detail." ”

In fact, he knows Wu Dalang very well, and knows how this person can have any deep meaning, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and give him a step, as for whether he understands it or not, he will decompose it next time.

"It's a good day for spring to bloom, I heard that Wu Zetian's birthday banquet that year, so that the flowers all over the world bloomed to celebrate her birthday, it can be seen that the birthday banquet needs flowers to congratulate it to be noble. ”

Wu Dalang didn't expect that no one scolded him, so he read Pan Jinlian's words, glanced at Ximenqing slightly, and saw Ximenqing nodding at him with a smile, signaling encouragement, Ximenqing saw that he was reasonable, and he didn't understand how this bastard became so smart, anyway, let him say it, Wu Dalang was encouraged, and immediately full of confidence.

"The old lady's seventieth birthday, it is best to celebrate with the sky, held in the garden, the guests can not only feast on the spring, but also compete with the Taijun for beauty, which will be talked about in the future. ”

"In the garden, long tables are set up together, festive tablecloths are spread, and the food is made on small plates, and the guests can choose their favorite food, and do everything by themselves, which can be called a 'buffet feast'..."

"Buffet banquet?" The old lady glanced at Ximenqing suspiciously, Ximenqing nodded, and she said, "This idea of yours is very good, continue to talk." ”

"Go on?" Wu Dalang said dumbly: "Actually, if you don't interrupt, I'll just say a few words, and this buffet banquet can't just be a small piece of food, after all, not everyone may like it." ”

"The long table is divided into three rows, one row of small food, one row of vegetables, fruits and drinks, and one row of precious food, so it's up to you!"

"This is a good proposal, I have all the precious ingredients in my house, so I wonder if Da Lang Bao can cook it?" asked Ximenqing.

"Even if the ingredients are precious, they are actually just put in the mouth and swallowed in the stomach, as long as there is dry firewood, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, how can it not be made. ”

This was not taught to him by Pan Jinlian, it was said by himself, in his heart he thought that Pan Jinlian was omnipotent, even if the precious ingredients were not as simple as stir-frying cabbage.

Ximenqing nodded slightly at the old lady, and the old lady said: "Listen to you, it's very appropriate, this birthday banquet will be organized by you, but I'm still worried that you can't cook good expensive ingredients, so let's give you a few abalone, you take it out to cook, and bring it two days later, if it tastes decent, I will rest assured, otherwise this precious ingredient will be made by Lion Tower." ”

"What's so hard about this, will it take two more days...."

Wu Dalang is timid, this sentence is very quiet, so Ximen Qing and Lao Taijun did not hear it, if they heard it, it is estimated that his business will be in vain, he does not know that the dried abalone should be simmered slowly, and the two days are also very urgent.

Ximen Qing ordered his subordinates to take out four abalones and said, "Da Lang, there are four high-quality abalones here, you can take them back, and two days later, you will take two to my mother to taste, and the remaining two will be gifts from your brothers." ”

Wu Dalang was not polite, he only thought of Pan Jinlian's reminder in his heart, and left after speaking, so he said goodbye, Ximenqing did not stay, and after he left, he smiled at the old lady: "Qin Siniang is really not old, and the mother who plays the villain is vivid." ”

Qin Siniang said with a smile: "The old man has been immersed in the opera troupe for decades, and it is not difficult to play a noblewoman, not to mention that there are big officials to help him, and there will be no mistakes, and the big officials have also taken great pains to make such a big play in order to help their friends." ”

"Haha, there will be Lao Siniang in a few days!" Ximen Qing was very proud in his heart.

Wu Dalang smiled and took four abalone back, handed them to Pan Jinlian, and said the situation, Pan Jinlian said angrily: "Big brother, you really don't understand the reason, this is dried abalone, it must be soaked in water, so that the texture inside it grows, otherwise it tastes like rubber, and it will take a day to soak." ”

"Abalone is a tasteless thing, and it needs other ingredients with strong flavors to simmer the flavor slowly, which requires old chicken, Jinhua ham, and conch slices, and it must be simmered for at least one day to have a taste, which is ideal, and it takes at least one more day to change. ”

"I don't know, the abalone has been eaten, but it has never been cooked. Wu Dalang sighed and said: "No wonder the second brother asked me to go home and eat abalone that day, but you didn't make it for me to eat when I came back, it took so much time, by the way, where did you put your abalone, I really haven't seen it yet." ”

"Phew, big brother Hugh is talking nonsense!" Pan Jinlian was born in Yahuan, and she ended up in Peugeot, and she naturally suffered from a lot of words from big families, of course she knew what it meant, and she said angrily in her heart: "Erlang can actually say such words, he is really elusive, he is powerful at one time, and he can chant the wind and the moon at one time, but at one time he will be like a hooligan ruffian, saying that kind of obscene words, it is he so difficult to guess, that I miss it, I don't know where he is at the moment." ”
