marrying a concubine

At the beginning of August, the business of Fengjia Restaurant became more and more busy. Every August, September, and thirteenth months were very busy, even worse than the first spring.

Feng Haitang and Liusu went to Fengjia Restaurant every day. Liusu followed Feng Haitang for a while, and gradually figured out the restaurant's business model, and had a sense of getting started. In fact, as long as you master the rules and habits, you can do it easily. a lot of.

As soon as Nan Jin left, Fengjiabao began to play. Usually when Nanjin was at home, the maids and servants would restrain themselves a bit. After Nanjin left, the whole Fengjiabao seemed to be blown up.Xuanwu returned to Ice Moon Palace to handle palace affairs, and continued to investigate and follow up the origin and process of the dispute between Ice Moon Palace and Ghost Palace.Xuanbei was ordered to stay in Fengjiabao to protect Liusu. Under his leadership and Mrs. Feng's excited participation, Fengjiabao said that it was a day and night carnival. Sometimes Ziling would not go to the city with Liusu, but stayed in the castle, and Abi They mingle.

Mo Li and Xiao Cui had their lives in their lives, they had to protect Tassel during the day, but at night, they also started to go crazy, returning to the joyous scene when Tassel had just arrived at Fengjiabao.

Haitang jokingly said that Fengjiabao is just a small street.

Liusu likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Once she stayed at home, Xuanbei and the others were playing Cuju. The servants and maids were divided into two groups and played all morning. Playing tricks, fleeing in all directions, Yougong has been playing around Fengjiabao, flying eaves and walls, making people turn their backs.Their playfulness can be heard from the foot of the mountain.

In such a happy atmosphere, if she wasn't pregnant, she would have wanted to take part in it, no wonder the quiet Ziling followed Abao, Abi and the others to have fun.

Tassel's pregnancy was much easier than normal pregnant women. She didn't have morning sickness or loss of appetite. Apart from some slight lethargy, everything was basically normal. The worries of Mrs. Feng and Feng Haitang became relieved.After Nan Jin left, everything in Fengjiabao returned to normal. Feng Haitang and Liusu were in charge of Fengjia restaurant and pharmacy, and Fengjia Shipping. The days are very comfortable, teaching Tassel business, and the two wholeheartedly prepare for the food festival on the eighth day of August.

After Tassel got started in the business of the restaurant, Feng Haitang slowly tried to let her stand alone. This time, she was in charge of the food festival on the eighth day of August, and she just gave instructions from the sidelines.

In this food festival, Fengjia Restaurant is contested by the chef Li Xiulan, and Tassel is in charge. The dish is a famous dish in Fengcheng—sweet and sour Chidan carp.

The person in charge, the cook, and the dishes were sent to the government for approval early in the morning. Feng Haitang has been in charge of food festival-related matters over the years. passed.

The carp used in cooking is the carp from the Chidan River.This fish grows in the deep water of the Chidan River. It has a golden head and tail, bright scales all over the body, and tender meat. It is very suitable for a grand banquet.It is delicious and elegant, which just represents the status of Fengjia Restaurant in this industry. This dish is also Li Xiulan's specialty. After years of cooking and improvement, it has received rave reviews and is also the signature dish of Fengjia Restaurant.

It is very difficult to prepare this dish. Remove the scales, gills, and viscera of the fish and wash them. First, cut the knife marks on the fish, then raise the knife to open the fish body, and sprinkle refined salt into the fish body for a while. Marinate, and evenly apply a layer of wet starch paste on the knife edge and the whole body of the fish; pour oil into the frying pan, heat it to 2% heat, put the fish tail into the oil pan, and the knife edge will open immediately. Hold the fish with a spatula to avoid sticking to the pan. Fry for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to push the fish to the side of the pot so that the fish body is bow-shaped. Fry the fish with its back facing down for 8 minutes, then turn it over so that the belly of the fish is facing down Fry for [-] minutes, then lay the fish body flat, press the head into the oil with a spatula and fry for [-] minutes, and fry for a total of [-] minutes. When the fish body is all golden brown, take it out and put it on a plate. When it is [-]% hot, add green onion, ginger, minced garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, thicken the clear soup with wet starch, drizzle with a little cooked oil, and quickly take it out of the pan and burn it on the fish.

The ratio of vinegar to sugar should be appropriate, the taste should be sweet and sour, and the sweet and sour marinade should be thick but not thick. (Xiaoxiao teaches everyone to learn a dish, although I copied the recipe from Aunt Baidu. Hehe! Don’t blame me for being lazy!)

Li Xiulan personally cooked it for Tassel and Begonia, and Tassel was full of praise. It was really delicious. When she made this fish dish, she used green tea to remove the fishy smell in advance, so that the fragrance of the tea penetrated deeply.The fish tasted fresher and more tender without any fishy smell. Liusu felt that this was the best dish she had ever eaten.

The food festival competition is divided into morning and afternoon. In the morning competition, a total of [-] chefs from restaurants of all sizes in Fengcheng had a preliminary round, and three were selected for the final in the afternoon.

Fengjia Restaurant's participation in food festivals has always been more important than participation, and Feng Haitang is not a competitive person, but Jun Wuhuan from Yuelai has challenged Feng Haitang several times, and she chose this signature dish. The purpose is to win the overwhelming sexual victory.

Everything is ready, just wait for the eighth day of the eighth day, let Li Xiulan show her skills.

On the fifth day of the fifth day, each restaurant received the list of referees for this food festival.

There are a total of seven referees, Xiu Wang Xiaowei, Fengcheng prefect Guo Yi, three retired officials who have retired to spend their days in Fengcheng, and Liu Yun and his wife, the most authoritative gourmets in Qiaocun.Seven people form the judging panel of this food festival to decide the champion of this food festival through voting.

"Young Madam, last month's accounts are ready, please have a look at them." In Fengjia Restaurant, the shopkeeper sent the accounts to the back building for Liusu to review.

After Tassel took it, he said Wen Ya: "Master Ling, tomorrow is the food festival competition, let Miss Xiulan go back to rest early and get ready, and also, the carp must be the freshest, and I will send people to the port to buy it in the early morning. Carp landed as materials are not necessarily fresh in the market.”

"Yes, young lady, we must be ready!" Shopkeeper Ling nodded respectfully. Although this young lady has not been in office for a long time, she handles things in an orderly manner without panic. There have been several emergencies in the restaurant. She was handled safely and securely, and everyone in the restaurant admired and revered her very much. With Nan Jin's prestige at the front and Su Su's talent at the back, it was impossible not to admire her.

Liusu nodded and asked him to go out to focus on the accounts for the second half of last month, while Mo Li stood guard outside the door, while Xiaocui made a pot of scented tea and brought it in for her.

The fragrance of tea rose into the room, and Xiao Cui said softly, "Young Madam, you don't have to work so hard, it doesn't matter if you take a day off. Let's take a rest and make your favorite chrysanthemum tea!"

"Thank you, Xiao Cui!" Liu Su rubbed his brows, Zi Ling said that he wanted to see the world, and followed Feng Haitang to the countryside to collect rent. Although Xiao Cui is a little pepper with a hot temper, she is very careful in serving people.

"Young madam, do you mean we can win tomorrow?" Xiaocui raised her head mysteriously, asking Liusu for first-hand information.

Liusu chuckled and said, "Want to bet again?"

"Grandma's, it's all Xuanbei's crow's mouth, saying that Yuelai will win, traitor!" Xiaocui said indignantly, "Our Feng family's bet is of course betting on us to win, he actually grows others' ambitions and destroys his prestige, But..." The girl in red dandan showed a flattering smile, "For my money's sake, it's better to ask the young lady to be sure."

Liusu was drinking tea, chuckled, a little tea overflowed, she wiped it off with a handkerchief, she was ashamed to say that Xuanbei was a traitor, she was really convinced.

But she really likes this clever maid with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

"I'm not sure about this. You have to ask Sister Xiulan. She is the cook. Why did you ask me?" Tassel pulled out a thousand pieces of gold and continued: "You guys, don't be fooled by Xuanbei, he said If Yuelai wins, of course you can bet on Yuelai, if the Feng family wins, he can win money. Don’t you understand it’s so simple?”

Xiaocui slapped her head, suddenly realized, and gritted her teeth, "Almost got cheated by this fox Bei again, hum, go back, put this month's pocket money, and bet on our restaurant to win!"

Liusu smiled, and Feng Haitang's voice floated in, "Susu, I'm back!"

Xiao Cui straightened up, Feng Haitang and Zi Ling entered the room with a smile, it seemed that the rent collection went well today, as soon as Haitang came in, Xiao Cui took two teacups and poured them both a cup of tea, Zi Ling swished She ran to Liusu's side with a cry, and happily talked about what she saw today. Since she came to Fengcheng, her smile became much brighter, and her eyebrows and eyes had a charming style.

"Zi Ling, you're so excited, do you want to change your name to master in the future?" Feng Haitang joked, drank a cup of chrysanthemum tea, asked Xiaocui to pour another cup, and drank it down.

"No, Miss is the best!" Zi Ling smirked, trying to prove her infinite loyalty to Tassel.

Haitang shook her head and asked, "Susu, how are the preparations for tomorrow's food festival going?"

"It's all ready, there's no problem. I'll ask sister Xiulan to go back and rest early. We'll meet up at the restaurant tomorrow morning and then go to the arena." Liusu said gently, and told Feng Haitang the details again to see if she had anything to add.

"As long as you're ready, go home early, I'm exhausted from walking today." Feng Haitang waved her hand, she was very relieved that Tassel had always done things properly.

Seeing that her brows looked a little tired, Liu Su put down the account book, and it was the same after the food festival, so she was really not in a hurry.

The setting sun is slanting to the west, and a round of red sun is like an old man in the evening, exuding the only warmth and brilliance in the sky, and the rosy clouds are radiant and dazzlingly beautiful.Reflecting on every simple face of Fengcheng, it makes people feel the beauty and joy of life.

"Miss Feng, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here without any problems!" Outside the restaurant, a playful voice drifted past, the deep male voice was very charming.

Tassel followed Haitang's gaze, and he was a very eye-catching man, 27 or [-] years old, in a pure blue brocade gown, the knitting was cumbersome but gorgeous, and he was extravagant, with a sky-blue jade belt around his waist and a dragon-shaped jade pendant .He has a tall and slender figure, handsome features, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that are alluring and seductive, with a shrewd brilliance faintly shining. It is a very deep light, and Tassel occasionally sees such a light in Nan Jin's eyes.

That is the demeanor of the strong, with confidence in mind.

"Jun Wuhuan?" Feng Haitang's eyes sank, as if seeing a cockroach, "Are you looking for a beating?"

Jun Wuhuan?He is Jun Wuhuan?Liusu opened her mouth in surprise, why is it so different from the Jun Wuhuan she imagined?
