Yushanfang

Chapter 56 58: Preface
Feng Ming was puzzled, but he didn't give up. In high spirits, he took the prescription of fermented wine every day and kept researching.

As the owner of the restaurant, Feng Ming naturally holds more rights in the restaurant, facing customers, Feng Ming often sells his own fermented rice.

The guests listened, and saw how good their fermented wine was, while they were all nodding their heads one by one, but none of them had the idea of ​​buying it.

Feng Ming felt that his wine tasted very good, but what's the use of praising himself?

……

The weather is getting colder and colder these days, the winter solstice is coming, and the month is about to enter the first month.

In Feng Minghe's restaurant, Ah Fu, Han Cui, and Lin Xiang discussed how to rest during the first lunar month.The Spring Festival is approaching, and the time is already here. In fact, many hawkers on the street, whether they sell rice noodles or dishes, restaurants, restaurants, and noodle restaurants, have closed their doors to celebrate the New Year.

Lin Xiang is also in a hurry, because although there are still many vegetable sellers in the market these days, there are not many. For the Chinese New Year, you must buy meat, and you must buy two fish. Wine and meat must not be less, Lin Xiang Wanting to make more delicious food, although she and Lin Yan are a bit deserted for celebrating the new year alone, Lin Xiang has no intention of passing it hastily.

After all, it was the first time for the two of them to celebrate the New Year in ancient times, and now they are barely fed and clothed, so they can't be careless, can they?Even if it is to give yourself a hope, look forward to getting better every year.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiang felt a little surprised.

In the past, in modern times, although Chinese New Year was a happy event, it was not as active as she imagined. The same is true for her younger brother Lin Yan. Although the festival is always happy, it is just a festival. The two seem to place all the good things in the first month of the coming year, hoping that the days will be better every day.

After thinking about it so carefully, Lin Xiang can probably understand why the ancients paid so much attention to various festivals.

Feng Ming was naturally concerned about the restaurant's business on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he was naturally a little unwilling.

But Lin Xiang couldn't help complaining secretly that Uncle Feng had become more and more greedy for money in the past few months. Not only did he gain weight, but he also had a lot of vanity and seeking money, which made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

What's more, during the days from the first day to the fifth day of the first month, most people are stuck at home, and their own New Year's Eve dinner is naturally cooked by themselves. How can anyone come out to eat simple and cheap meals in restaurants?Some people only get together once a year, so they look forward to the excitement on the first lunar month.

Although Lin Xiang slandered secretly, he didn't say this directly to Feng Ming.

Although Feng Ming was reluctant, but fortunately the wages were not underpaid, and the people more or less expressed some loyalty, knowing that everyone has been busy this year, and the restaurant's income has also improved.

From the first day to the third day of the first month of the first lunar month, restaurants close their doors to rest.This was Feng Ming's decision after much deliberation.

Ah Fu and Han Cui had sad expressions on their faces when they heard the words.

Just three days of rest, just three days of holiday.

Lin Xiang was more or less unhappy. Although she and Lin Yan had no relatives or friends, she mostly stayed in restaurants during the day, so how could she have time to spend with her younger brother?The last time Haosheng talked to Lin Yan was when she was sick!
Furthermore, the short three-day holiday is only for Lin Xiang and the others, and the boss Feng Ming may not come to the restaurant to check the bill until after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

In the evening, Lin Xiang waited for the restaurant to close the door, and brought the news home to his younger brother Lin Yan.

Lin Yan naturally had an indignant look on his face.

Lin Xiang didn't say anything else, but said: "If you have time tomorrow morning to go to the market to buy more fish or something, the few pieces of silver that Uncle Feng gave us last time are useless to us. I’ve saved them up, and there are some special fragments, I’ll put them on the table tomorrow morning, don’t forget.”

"Um, by the way, what kind of vegetables, as long as you look at the green, don't care about the price, don't feel sorry for the money more or less, just buy some."

Hearing this, Lin Yan suddenly became sluggish like a deflated ball.

That's right, they are working as helpers now, and they can be said to have tightened their belts to live.

In short, the world is still chaotic.

……

Sure enough, as Lin Xiang expected, the days got colder and colder, and as the first month approached, the revenue of restaurants became less and less.

Feng Ming was irritable, but there were no guests going out, and this was something no one could control.

Lin Xiang cooks a little bit of food in the kitchen every day, except for a few sporadic guests who come to eat, and has nothing else to do, so he spends his time in the restaurant like this.

On the day before the restaurant closed, Lin Xiang made a lot of delicious food in the kitchen to comfort himself, Ah Fu and Hancui.

As for Feng Ming, he had gone home for the New Year a few days ago.

A fire was set up on the stove in the kitchen. The flames were burning red and hot. The warm fire light reflected Lin Xiang's face. Although the weather was cold, the whole person was warm

Hands raised and lowered, "Bang bang bang—" The sound of chopping vegetables in a patchwork sounded continuously in the small kitchen of the restaurant.

"Zi Zi la la -" The puffing thick white smoke instantly rendered the whole small kitchen.

The sound of "cracking" dishes combined with the oil pan turning hot dishes.

With a pair of dexterous hands, one after another graceful movements are smoothly made, and steaming meals are freshly baked——

Fresh fish soup from the mouth of the Yellow River, steamed eel with rice flour, braised yellow croaker in soy sauce, tiger head chicken, minced corn and chicken eggplant soup, fish-flavored shredded lettuce, braised pork, and Lin Xiang’s special cold dishes with strong fresh ingredients. Delicious sweet-scented osmanthus red oil chicken, cold pork skin, hot and sour winter bamboo shoots!
There are so many beautiful things in eyes, all eyes and hearts are full of food.

Colorful, perfect color.

There is soup, meat, and vegetables!
Of course, in order to make everyone happy, Lin Xiang naturally cooked a lot of meat dishes!The left and right are the ingredients of the restaurant. In the first two days of the Chinese New Year, don’t eat for nothing!

On the other hand, Ah Fu was smiling, got up slyly, and under the gaze of Lin Xiang and Han Cui, he took out Feng Ming's fermented rice with joy in his eyes.

"Well, it's rare to spend a year, and drink more or less!" After finishing speaking, he wanted to pour the wine.

Lin Xiang doesn't really want to drink, and this body is still a little young, drinking alcohol is not conducive to physical development and health!But in the end, I didn't reject Ah Fu's enthusiasm, and I still reached out to take it and took a small sip.

Ah Fu was drunk, his face was a little red, and he said: "Eat vegetables!"
