Red apricots make spring

Chapter 186
On the way back, Rourou asked Zhu Gui many details about this restaurant. After thinking about it for a long time after arriving home, she always felt that the price she bought for the restaurant was very low, and she was a little puzzled. Could it be a scam made by a scammer?But after thinking about it, I couldn't find any flaws.

I found Mrs. Liu to discuss it, but Mrs. Liu said nonchalantly: "The shopkeeper Li is waiting for money, so it's not surprising that he sells the restaurant at a low price. As long as he pays more attention when signing the deed tomorrow, there will be no hindrance."

Rou Rou nodded silently, and wrote down all the issues that needed attention that he thought of at night, so that he could be careful when he was preparing to sign the document tomorrow.

Waking up early the next morning, she took the bank notes, invited the head of the village, and rushed to Shilixiang to sign the deed.The process has always been smooth, and when she got the lease of the restaurant, she still couldn't believe it. This restaurant is really her own?
This feeling of unreality lasted all day, with that confused smile on Wen Rou's face, she looked down at the deed in her hand from time to time, and waited until Aunt Liu came to remind her that since the restaurant was bought, she had to hurry To add some manpower and open it as soon as possible, so as to make money and pay off the debts, she suddenly realized that she started to get busy.

When shopkeeper Li sold the restaurant to her, even the cook and the waiter were left behind. Gentle asked Zhu Gui to invite them one by one. After asking them about their situation, they kept them temporarily. The over-skilled cook switched with the staff in the shop, handing over the staffing of the entire restaurant, the purchase of ingredients and other matters to Mrs. Liu, and handing over the accounts to Wen Gang, while she herself took over the training of the cooks.

Although the restaurant has complete facilities, it seems that there is nothing to prepare at first glance, but in fact there are more things to be busy than imagined, and it didn't open smoothly until five days later.

In order to attract the original diners, Wen Ruan did not change the name of the restaurant, but repainted it with gold paint, but she erected a wooden frame similar to a bell frame outside the restaurant, and hung many small wooden frames with black background and silver characters in layers. On the wooden sign are the names of the various dishes that the restaurant serves that day, and the ones hanging on the top floor are the five signature dishes of the restaurant——

Sand prawns in bamboo tubes, stuffed snails, steamed fish, sunflower duck slices, and cooked crystal chicken.

The signature dishes are not expensive and common ingredients, such as sea cucumber, shark fin, bird's nest, abalone, etc., are labor-intensive to prepare, and there are not many things that few people can afford, and to be careful, she used to open food stalls, None of the dishes cooked in Zhao Mansion and Shen Mansion are listed on it.

As soon as the firecrackers went off and the newly painted signboard was hung, many passers-by stood in front of the restaurant, pointing at the menu and discussing, guessing the name of the dish.

"Hey, Brother Guo, you have seen a lot, have you seen this sunflower?"

"This... this ancient book seems to have records... sunflower... flowers... this..."

Someone next to him interrupted: "Hey, don't pretend, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it, what's the shame?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen Sunflower, but I have seen Oiran!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

Rourou was about to go into the restaurant to take care of the kitchen. Hearing these words, for some reason, the words "Sunflower Treasure" appeared in her mind, and suddenly she felt a crow flying over her head, and then flying over, flying Come over, fly over...

How did you forget that there are no sunflowers here?Even the melon seeds sold outside are watermelon seeds, and even pumpkin seeds are rare, let alone sunflower seeds.Fortunately, this dish of sunflower duck slices is nothing more than using green vegetables as a base to make leaves, duck slices sandwiched ham slices and bamboo shoots to make flowers, minced chicken and pine nuts to make stamens, and it’s just a shape. it!

Rourou was standing by the door thinking about something, when she suddenly heard someone behind her greet her: "Shopkeeper Wen, congratulations on the opening of your restaurant, I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money every day—"

She turned around hastily, and saw Mo Wanjiang standing there in casual clothes smiling slightly at her.

"Lord Mo? Why are you here! Please come inside!" Rourou hurriedly greeted with a smile, and even Ye Yu, who was helping at the side, came up to greet Mo Wanjiang.

Someone in the crowd of onlookers also recognized Mo Wanjiang, and immediately shouted, and there were "adult" voices everywhere.

Mo Wanjiang turned around and bowed his hands to the crowd with a smile before stepping over the threshold.

The people outside the restaurant were watching the excitement, pondering the menu in front of the door, but few actually entered the restaurant. At this time, seeing that the magistrates had come to patronize, many people followed in, ready to try something new.Now Zhu Gui, who was waiting in front of the door, waited for the waiters to get really busy.

Mo Wanjiang took his son Mo Li by the hand, and walked with Wen Rou, while laughing and teasing her: "Your restaurant opened, and you didn't send me a post? Is it because you are afraid that I won't pay for the meal?"

"My lord said that, but I feel ashamed." Gentle smile: "You are willing to patronize me, I really wish for it! I just thought that my lord is busy with business, so I was afraid of disturbing you, and besides, the place of the restaurant is full of fish and dragons, so I was afraid of affecting my lord. Yu, that's why I didn't send a post."

After speaking, she looked at Mo Li again, and asked with a smile, "Is this your son?"

Before Mo Wanjiang could answer, Mo Li rushed forward and said, "Father, didn't you mean to bring me to taste the handicrafts of the sister who delivered the cakes last time? Then is he a sister or a brother?"

In a word, Ye Yu, who was by the side, smiled, but just looked at the tenderness without saying a word.

Mo Wanjiang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Rourou also found it funny in her heart, she changed into men's clothing to go out for convenience, but she didn't expect to be a little embarrassed when asked innocently by this child.It's hard to explain to him in detail, after all, these days, most people in the world follow the rules, her behavior, in the eyes of insiders, should be very out of the ordinary, right?Don't spoil the kids!
Fortunately, Mo Li didn't follow up and asked, his little head was full of food, and he said to Ruan solemnly: "Sister, the cold glutinous rice balls you made last time are delicious, can I still have them today? "

Cool glutinous rice dumpling?Wen Rou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about pigeon egg balls, but the store really didn’t prepare the ingredients for such a thing, so she smiled and said: "The cool glutinous rice balls are called pigeon egg balls, if you like them, Next time I will make some for you, but I can’t taste it today, so I’ll make something else for you to eat.”

Li Li lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I want something sweet."

"Sweet ones are desserts, not food and drink." Mo Wanjiang reprimanded lightly with a smile.

When Mo Li heard this, he pursed his lips in disappointment.

Seeing that his appearance is really cute, Wenrou said with a smile: "Then make some sweet food and drink for you."

"Really?" Mo Li's eyes lit up.

Gentle nodded and smiled: "You will taste it later."

As she said that, she chatted with Mo Wanjiang a few more times, asked Ye Yu to accompany the father and son to have tea, apologized first, and went to cook for herself.

The food and wine for Mo Wanjiang can be cooked by gentle pickers, but Mo Li wants to eat sweet dishes, which really made her hesitate. After thinking about it, she decided to make orange chrysanthemum fish, shredded yam, and Tai Chi Taro paste and rock sugar yuan hoof.In fact, she originally wanted to make Wuxi meat bones, but except for children, people here don’t like to eat too sweet dishes. She didn’t prepare at all. It took half a day to make Wuxi meat bones. Time is really running out.

However, when the four sweet dishes were served, Li Li really enjoyed eating them, and he was especially interested in the shredded yam, because when he picked up a piece, he could pull out long shreds, which was fun and delicious.Seeing that he was eating happily, Mo Wanjiang couldn't help but tasted it a little bit. Except that he couldn't accept the rock sugar yuan hoof and the shredded yam coated in sugar juice, he liked the orange chrysanthemum fish and Tai Chi taro paste. He kept talking and dropped the chopsticks several times.

When Ruan Rou brought up the pottery steam pot that had been specially fired, and opened the lid, both father and son stopped their chopsticks.

Li Li asked curiously, "What is this? There is a small mouth like a teapot in the middle."

"This is a steam pot." Rourou explained the function of the steam pot, and quickly put a plate of sliced ​​raw bream and scallions into the steam pot, then pulled them out with chopsticks, and then closed the lid, laughing Said: "It takes the effort to stew a cup of tea, and you can eat it."

Mo Wanjiang only said that it was interesting, but Mo Li was a little restless, and asked after a while, are you all right?Stop and ask again, can I eat it?After finally waiting for Ruan Rou to lift the lid again, he reached in with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of hot cooked fish and was about to put it in his mouth. In a panic, Ruan Ruan quickly grabbed him and said, "Blow it first! This whole pot is hot!" It’s all original chicken soup, with a layer of oil on the surface to seal the heat, so it looks lukewarm, but it’s actually very hot.”

Mo Li clicked his tongue after hearing this, and blew on the fish fillet before putting it into his mouth. Mo Wanjiang followed suit and tasted a slice for a long time before nodding silently.
