Happy peasant girl

Chapter 43 Wei Xuan's Thoughts

The night before the opening of "Yipinxiang", all the people from the old Lin's family went to Fu'an Town, and Lu Zhiming, Huai's, Zhang Xian, Wei Xuan, and Shen Han also came to the restaurant.

Lin Qingxi selected an experienced shopkeeper from those brought by Zhang Xian, Lin Qingfei assisted in keeping the accounts, two were waiters, two were in charge of purchasing, and three people were added to the back kitchen.

Originally the restaurant was opened, and the old Lin’s family planned to help most of the family in the restaurant, but now there are house slaves who have signed a death contract. For the sake of "Yipinxiang", it does not claim that this restaurant belongs to Lao Lin's family, which also saves Lao Lin's family from the trouble of being inquired by others.

However, after all, the restaurant was opened, and the whole family still got together, not to mention that Lin Qinghai and Lin Qingxi had to cook the dishes themselves so that they could try the dishes, and it was considered a family reunion dinner.

"Dafu, you and Daxi go to the bullock cart outside and bring those two small porcelain jars in. I want to use them! Erxi, has the pork been cleaned?" The sixty people brought by Zhang Xian from the capital came to Linqingxi They all re-named them, using the six characters "Fu Lu Shou Xi An Le" as their first name and Lin as their surname, and then added "Da, Er, San... Ten" in the middle to distinguish them.

Lin Dafu and Lin Daxi hurried to the bullock cart outside to move what Lin Qingxi needed, and Lin Erxi cleaned the pork and picked the spinach.

"Girl, the spinach has been washed, do you need to use it now?" Lin Erxi put the cleaned spinach in a bamboo basket to drain.

"Well, let's put it there! Erxi, start boiling water now! Dafu, go and see if there are yellow mud and fresh lotus leaves nearby, pick more lotus leaves!" Lin Qingxi planned to make a salad first Spicy spinach, followed by a beggar's chicken.

Lin Qinghai is also busy frying tofu at another stove, and his main task today is to make tofu-related food.

While the kitchen was busy, Lin Yuanshan, Lin Zhongguo, and Lin Qingyun were talking with Lu Zhiming and Zhang Xian in the main hall of the backyard, while Ye Shi, Mu Shi, Qin Shi, and Wu Shi were chatting with Huai Shi. Shen Han played with Lin Qingfei, Lin Qinghe and Lin Qingmu.

An hour later, the two tables were filled with food one after another, and the dishes on the men's and women's tables were almost the same. Can't help but take a deep breath.

"This is the food that Xi'er and Qinghai prepared to sell tomorrow? I'm afraid ordinary people can't afford it?" Lu Zhiming is also well-informed and has eaten a lot of good things. Lin Qingxi and Lin Qinghai made it The appearance of the dishes is no worse than those big restaurants in the capital.

"Mr. Lu, tomorrow we will mainly sell tofu dishes, and the price is not expensive! The other dishes are specially prepared by my sister for the two gentlemen and the two young masters. We will never forget your great kindness to our family. A few dishes are worth nothing!" Lin Qinghai, who came out of the back kitchen, said with a silly smile.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, not only are you willing to accept a girl from Xiyatou as an apprentice, but you also teach her and take care of her so hard, and Mr. Zhang has worked so hard for Xiyatou. I really don't know how to thank you!" Lin Yuanshan Also a look of gratitude.

"Uncle Yuan, you and I are all one family. It is fate that the younger generation can take Xi'er as an apprentice! Don't see each other again in the future, but you will lose your affection!" Lu Zhiming liked the old Lin's family very much. Bitter, but they love each other, brother and friend respectful, such family affection is really commendable.

"It's true, it's true!" Lin Yuanshan echoed repeatedly, calling everyone to eat by the way.

"Oh, it's so spicy, so spicy!" Shen Han usually likes to eat fish the most, so when he saw a plate of bright red fish with an attractive aroma on the table, he couldn't help but pick up a piece of fish and ate it first. Unexpectedly, when the fish meat reached my mouth, it was fragrant, spicy, smooth and tender.

Zhang Xian has been very curious about the red skin in this dish since just now. He thinks it is very similar to a pot of peppers that he saw in the palace before, but the peppers are obviously not as big.

Lin Qingxi ate at the table of the female relatives, so Zhang Xian asked Lin Qinghai: "Qinghai, what is this red thing, why is it so spicy in your mouth?"

"Mr. Zhang, this is chili pepper. It is grown from the seeds my sister bought from a bearded businessman. Although it is a bit spicy, it is very fragrant, and the hotter it is, the more you want to eat it." Initially, Linqingxi used chili to stir-fry vegetables. At the time, the people in the old Lin’s family were all in tears from the heat, but after eating, there was an unforgettable fragrance in their mouths, which made them want to eat again.

"Isn't this pepper?" Wei Xuan had seen this kind of red and slender thing before, but it was rare in Chu country, and they were all for ornamental purposes.

"My sister said that chili peppers are peppers. They are edible and have many uses. Pickled vegetables are also very delicious. Brother Wei, this white cabbage is also pickled with chili peppers and caramel sugar. It is very delicious. Try it! "Lin Qinghe and Wei Xuan felt like old friends at first sight. Although there was a four-year age difference between the two of them, and Wei Xuan seemed a bit cold to others, Lin Qinghe not only didn't find him difficult to get close to, but felt that he was like an old man. friend.

"Okay, I'll try it!" Wei Xuan really followed what Lin Qinghe said, and picked up a piece of pickled white cabbage and ate it.

Lu Zhiming, Zhang Xian and Shen Han were horrified when they saw the interaction between Wei Xuan and Lin's brothers. They thought that Wei Xuan, who was somewhat withdrawn and indifferent, would disdain to associate with farmers like the old Lin's family. Think of the kindness he's shown that he hasn't had in the past 15 years.

Moreover, this kid always keeps his eyes on Lin Qingxi intentionally or unintentionally, shouldn't he?No, no!The three of them shook their heads at the same time, shaking off the unrealistic thoughts in their hearts.

"Brother Qinghai, do these dishes have names?" Although it was a bit spicy, as Lin Qinghai said, after one bite, Shen Han wanted to take a second bite, and he couldn't stop after that. Gotta fall in love with everything this chili cooks.

"Yes!" Lin Qinghai seemed a little excited, more than half of the dishes on the table were made by him, and he had already memorized the names of the dishes by heart.

"This plate is mapo tofu, next to it is pan-fried tofu, green vegetable tofu soup, and tofu cakes. This plate is old Linjia's secret dried tofu, as well as mushroom tofu balls, crispy tofu, and spicy tofu... ..." Lin Qinghai has a sense of accomplishment. He has studied these tofu recipes for a long time, and has won unanimous praise from his family.

"Not bad, not bad! Although they are all tofu, they have different tastes, especially this dried tofu, I eat it very well." Lu Zhiming praised repeatedly.

"If sir likes it, when I leave later, I will ask Erlang to pretend to be some for the two gentlemen and the two young masters." The secret dried tofu was taught by Lin Qingxi to Lin Qinghai, and now he can make tofu at home The dry ones are only Linqinghai and Linqingxi.
