The Blessing of the Qi Nv of Transmigration

35 The Treasure of the Town Store
Yang Feier said: "Today I just came to see it, and I didn't bring so much money. Besides, I have to bring my family to see it together before I can make a decision."

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, and said: "That's true, it's not such a simple matter." He couldn't help sighing.

Yang Feier said: "This shop owner, why is he so eager to transfer this shop?"

The shopkeeper sighed again, and said: "When I rented the shop, the business was pretty good, but it only lasted for two months, but since the shop opposite opened, the business has been getting worse day by day, and now it's even worse. We are not familiar with the land here, and we have no other income, so we can’t do nothing, so we want to get rid of the rent as soon as possible, and go back to rent land and farm for a living. I will take these bows and arrows back. When the farming is slack, I will Get it at the market and set up a stall to sell it."

He said again: "Little lady, I don't know what to do to make a living here. I just advise you, as long as you don't do the same thing as the one opposite."

Yang Feier smiled and said, "No, my family only runs a snack shop."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Just don't do one thing."

Yang Feier said: "Then I will come back tomorrow. If I don't come tomorrow, I will definitely come the day after tomorrow. I will put five qian silver with you first. You have the right to wait for me for two days. If I don't come after two days, Then you can negotiate the rent with others, okay?"

Yang Feier knew in his heart that along the way, he didn't see any rented shops in this area. It seemed that this one was specially prepared for Yang Feier. The location was suitable, the rent was not high, and there was a place to live. Small, but could be remodeled just fine.

The shopkeeper had nothing to say, took the five qian and nodded his head.

The three of them left the bow and arrow shop, returned to Ruifuxian, took a rest, waited until the skin of the duck was dry, Amin and Aliang raised the temperature of the furnace, skillfully picked the duck with a bamboo pole and baked it in the furnace, and when it was done, put it out. I lit the fire, took out two of them, put them on a plate on the table at the side, turned and left, and called the two apprentices who specialize in sliced ​​ducks to come in.

The two apprentices each pushed a small cart into the courtyard. Yang Feier saw that they all had good facial features and a good-looking talent. He secretly praised Li Baotian for picking people. Duck people need to have some requirements on their appearance, because they want to perform a duck in front of customers, and it is enough not to make people feel unappetizing. The two who came in today really meet the requirements.

The trolley was also specially customized according to the illustration in Yang Feier's letter. It was similar in height and size to the trolleys in the train. He took out the knife from the porcelain plate, and saw the knife flying in his hand in an instant. In just over two minutes, the two plates of duck skin were neatly arranged in a fan shape and placed on the plate.

The four processes were completed beyond the standard, which was better than what Yang Feier did that day. Yang Feier is of course impeccable.

It was already six o'clock in the evening, and there were still two roast ducks left in the oven, so Yang Fei'er discussed with shopkeeper Zhou, the steward of the lobby, and Li Baotian in the backyard.

Today’s Shuang, there are two sub-contractors on the second and third floors for celebrating guests. Among them, there are several tables of individual guests, and most of the guests are seated in the lobby. Since the introduction of those fish dishes, the attendance rate of individual guests has increased significantly , not for anything else, just to try something new.

The shopkeeper Yang Feier Zhou and the manager of the lobby also came to the lobby and sat in Yang Feier's seat last time. The waiter stepped back after serving the tea, bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks.

The food and drink at the banquet had not yet arrived, and the guests in the lobby had ordered food, but it hadn't been served for a while, and the people sitting at the table were whispering and chatting.

The house was full of guests, the lights were bright, and amidst the noise of people, they suddenly heard a "bang" gong, and everyone fell silent. They looked for the place where the gong sounded, and heard the "bang" sound again. It turned out that there was a guy standing on the side of the food delivery channel. Carrying the gong and knocking, another gong sounded, and three times it settled down. At this time, two handsome young men, each pushing a small cart covered in red silk, came out slowly.

On the upper floor of the trolley, there was an oval blue-and-white porcelain plate three feet long and one foot wide in the middle. On the plate was a red, oily and fat roast duck. The light, shining with a seductive luster, passed through the tables and seats, and stopped at Yang Feier's table.

Along the way, anyone who passed a glance at the roast duck could no longer move their eyes away, and could not help but follow closely. When they stopped at Yang Feier's table, someone recognized Yang Feier and said, "Isn't that day?" The little lady who makes sweet and sour live fish and squirrel mandarin fish here?"

And there are many people who know the shopkeeper Zhou and the manager in the lobby, and someone asked: "Hey! I said, Lao Zhou, is your family going to launch a new dish?"

Shopkeeper Zhou stood up, and the manager and Yang Feier also stood up. Shopkeeper Zhou clasped his hands in all directions and said, "This restaurant has been in business for ten years, and all the guests have never given up on it. Since it has been in operation, today this restaurant has introduced a new dish. "Ming Oven Roast Duck"! To benefit all customers, because of the unique way of eating, I will give a demonstration here, and I will invite everyone to taste it later."

The guests on the second and third floors were all in the private rooms, but the attendants could see clearly from outside. How could such a good show not be known to the master?Don't want to hang out? !They called their masters to come out of the railing to watch.For a time, there were many spectators upstairs and downstairs.

After the shopkeeper Zhou finished speaking, he signaled to the two apprentices who specialize in sliced ​​ducks to start.

The two apprentices first took out a tray from the second floor. Inside it was a large round porcelain plate one and a half feet in size, and put it on the table. In the center of the round porcelain plate was a small nine-inch porcelain plate with a stack of lotus leaf cakes stacked on it. Surrounding the porcelain plate, there are nine small square plates, which are about the size of an ordinary vinegar plate. There are sliced ​​cucumbers, scallions, apples, and hawthorns cut into the same length and width. Cake and sugar, jam, sweet bean sauce, garlic paste, hot sauce.

Put the blue and white porcelain dish together with the roast duck on the table, and then take out the cutting board and knife from the third floor. Both the knife and the cutting board are brand new and have been boiled in boiling water beforehand.Put it on the top layer of the roast duck just now, lift the duck back up, put it flat on the cutting board, cut off the duck head first, then hold the curved part of the duck neck with your left hand, and cut off the skin and meat of the front breast; then slice the upper right breast and the upper left breast Open the duck bone fork, and use the tip of a knife to cut the bone along the middle line of the breast to the right to separate the flesh and bones, and slice from the upper half of the breast to the next.The right side is finished and the left side is finished.

A series of movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, skillful in operation, elegant in movement, plus the handsome appearance of the two apprentices, everyone watching is mesmerized and stunned.

Each sliced ​​duck skin is connected with a piece of duck meat, uniform in size, shaped like petals, and bright red in color. On the blue and white porcelain plate, two peonies in full bloom are arranged in a circle from outside to inside, lining the surrounding green leaves, lifelike.

The two apprentices moved in unison, starting and ending at the same time, and there were only two duck racks left on the cutting board. Shopkeeper Zhou said loudly: "This roast duck is eaten three times. The duck racks can be used as salt and pepper duck bones, or as winter melon duck bones." Soup, there are just two of them here, so make one of the same, and you can taste both flavors!"

The two apprentices pushed the cart down again.

Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Let me show you how to eat this duck first." The waiter had already prepared hot towels and stood behind him. The three of them wiped their hands, put down the towel, and the waiter stepped back.

Yang Feier put a piece of lotus leaf cake on the plate with chopsticks, added jam, apple slices, and hawthorn cake slices, and put two pieces of duck skin on the upper layer, wrapped the front, back, left, and right sides of the lotus leaf cake into a spring roll shape, Holding a fork in the left hand and a knife in the right hand, press the lotus leaf cake with the fork, cut it into three sections, and put one piece into the mouth with the fork.

Shopkeeper Zhou also made the same demonstration, but he added sweet noodle sauce, scallions, and cucumbers.The demonstration by the lobby steward added chili sauce, mashed garlic, scallions, and cucumbers.

After Yang Feier finished eating one piece, he directly picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in the white sugar plate, and put it in his mouth. Shopkeeper Zhou said: "You can also eat it directly with various seasonings, such as this white sugar, jam, and sweet noodle sauce. , chili sauce." After finishing speaking, he picked up a piece of duck skin and dipped it in some sweet noodle sauce, put it in his mouth, and nodded while chewing.

As the saying goes, one person's mouth is moving, ten people's mouths are sore, it is time to serve, but the food is not served, but it seems that the three people are eating with gusto, the mouths of the spectators are full of saliva, and there is a sound of swallowing, What's more, those two plates of roast duck are unprecedented new dishes. Under the brilliant lights, they are red, oily and fragrant, making people salivate, hungry and eager to see.

The onlookers are eager to move, but they are in the way of face. Those who can eat in this restaurant are either rich or expensive, and they will never do the behavior of grabbing food from other people's tables, so they have to endure it.

Seeing this situation, Yang Fei'er's heart was about the same, so he stood up and called two waiters, and said: "Take this portion, walk upstairs and downstairs, and give it to the female guests to taste."

Shopkeeper Zhou also called two waiters over and said, "Give me this to the male guests at each table to try."

The two also left the lobby immediately, leaving only the lobby steward to greet them.

Li Baotian was standing at the entrance of Chuancai Road to look at the situation in the lobby. Seeing the two people coming back, he followed them to the backyard. The three of them stood under the tree, vaguely hearing laughter and curses coming from the front hall. There was a lot of noise.

Shopkeeper Zhou wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeves, and said, "This trouble is like asking me to go on stage to sing an opera. I'm sweating all over my body. How can you, little lady, have such weird ideas?"

Li Baotian said: "Master is a master. I have never seen a new dish launched in such a way. This time, this dish is an instant hit!"

Yang Feier smiled and said: "This dish is complicated, time-consuming, and costly. If it is ready, it can be the treasure of this restaurant. How can I just recommend it hastily? It must be different and extraordinary. .”

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "Miss Hu is young and capable, so it's no wonder my eldest lady treats you differently. We old antiques will feel a sense of crisis."

Li Baotian smiled and said: "Then you can think too much, my master doesn't care about you, she is a shareholder, and she is also our boss."

Yang Feier said with a smile: "You two are elders, why are you making fun of me?"

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and saw the steward in the lobby rushing in with his clothes lifted. Shopkeeper Zhou took a step to greet him and said, "How is the front hall?"
