lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the female partner (quick pass)!
A man and a woman who walked into the store were talking in low voices. The man said with concern: "I thought there was no decent restaurant in Nancheng, but I didn't expect me to look down upon this place. Sister, you haven't eaten much for two days in a row. You have to eat a little today anyway."
The woman held her chest and nodded reluctantly: "Then eat some."
The man walked closer and saw Lin Dan stirring a pot of braised pork, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression, "Hey, you can make Qianzhou-flavored braised pork. It just so happens that we are from Qianzhou. Give it to us. Let's have a copy."
Lin Dan shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, the guest officer, the braised pork has been sold out, can you order something else? We also have noodles and porridge here."
The man frowned, seemingly displeased: "But I just want to eat braised pork, nothing else."
"Then I can only say sorry to you. If you want to eat, you can come early tomorrow." Lin faintly smiled.
She didn't know who the man was, but Qin Erniang knew, and quickly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let him give him this plate of meat, I won't eat it." The words wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, with a very expression on her face. Panic. If you read it right, the two brothers and sisters should be the daughters of the Dianqian King. The King of Dianqian is the only king with a different surname in the Great Chu Kingdom. He is stationed on the Dianqian Plateau all the year round and holds an army of 800,000.
In order to show his loyalty, the King of Yunnan and Guizhou sent his concubine to the capital to study very early, and his treatment was not worse than that of the prince. The year before last, he also sent his concubines who were fifteen years old. It seemed that he was going to be a maid in the palace. In short, these two brothers and sisters are both on the top of the mountain, and they can't afford to offend them at all.
The man stretched his brows and seemed to be satisfied with Qin Erniang’s knowledge, but Lin Dan said: "Everything must pay attention to one first come first. Erniang has been waiting all morning, this plate of stewed meat should be hers."
Not waiting for the man to show an angry expression, Lin Dan has raised his head, took a closer look at the pale little girl, and continued: "Besides, I see this lady has been holding her chest, she seems to be dizzy and vomiting. I feel that I can’t get used to seasickness by the waterway? You can’t eat these greasy things when you are nauseated. May I make some refreshing food for the lady?"
The woman didn’t really want to eat meat, so she nodded her head after hearing Lin Dan’s words: “Alright, please help the shopkeeper to help me cook some refreshing side dishes. I really don’t want to eat meat much now.” Hua Luo looked timidly. Brother glanced.
The man thought about his sister’s future destiny, and felt pity for a while, and he nodded in agreement. He turned around and found that Tang Jiu was also there. He was surprised: "Tang Shizi, you also come to this restaurant. Eat? This is a coincidence."
Tang Jiu nodded and said: "This shop is opened by my friend, thank you, the king of the county, for showing your face." The overtone is-you can play in any place, but please don't make trouble in this shop.
The man was given the title of a county king in his early years by the emperor. He seemed to have a higher status than a marquis, but in fact he had to converge one or two times in front of the emperor's courtier like Tang Jiu. His arrogant expression faded immediately, and his smile seemed approachable.
Seeing that he was honest, Tang Jiu handed the ten copper plates to Lin Dan, and repeatedly told her to send a letter to herself when she had something to do.
Lin Dan promised to do well, but in fact, he never thought of trouble Tang Jiu any more. This is not a person of the same world, why do we want to stick together? She is a cook and he is a eater, the relationship is as simple as that. After passing the mixed stewed pork to Qin Erniang, who was shaking hands and feet, she filled a casserole full of white porridge, heated it on the stove, and took out a handful of green peppers and threw it into the fire.
The green peppers were roasted by charcoal fire, and they made a crisp beeping sound, and a pungent smell quickly spread. Xiaozhu were choking and sneezing, but the handsome men and petite women showed expressions of half surprise and half nostalgia.
"Are you cooking chili peppers?" The woman walked to the stove, staring at the soft green chilies in the fire, with tears in her eyes: "When I was home, my mother loved me and my brother the most. This dish. Don’t you know. We walked away with my dad when we were young. My mother took me and my brother and hid in the countryside. She had no money and couldn’t eat big fish and meat. The best dish in my memory is fired chili. , Because the taste is strong enough, it is easy to eat, and it can make us full."
The mask on the man's face also cracked, and his eye sockets were slightly red.
Lin Dan raised his head and smiled at the woman, his eyes full of comfort, and when he was done, put the burned pepper and a few garlic into a bowl to smash, and then top with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, wood **** oil and other seasonings .
"Taste it, is it the taste of your hometown?" After the cold dishes were prepared, Lin Dan handed the dishes to the woman. The woman picked up the hot chili and tasted it carefully. The eyes blinked and the teardrops came down. , "Yes, that's the taste." She quickly wiped away her tears and smiled: "Brother, come and taste it."
She has never eaten this dish since being taken back to the palace by her father, because her mother is no longer there, and there is no place for them in the palace. She and her brother are just two items that can be sacrificed at will. .
The man took a bite of the dish, and his voice was a little hoarse: "The shopkeeper should have been in Qianzhou, right? This hot pepper is made very authentic."
"Stay for a few months." Lin Dan put the casserole porridge on the table together with the small stove, warmly said, "The appetizers are a bit spicy, so eat less. I will cut some raw meat and pork liver for you. , It is also served with leaf vegetables, which can be placed directly in the porridge. It is cooked and eaten now, and the taste is more fresh."
"Thank you, the shopkeeper." The woman felt better after crying. She used chopsticks to pick up the hot chili and slowly ate it little by little. She was full of cherishment. I never expected that I could eat such authentic hometown food in a remote place like the capital.
The two brothers and sisters sat and ate each other for a long time, but their eyes were red. In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Dan retreated to the kitchen with Xiaozhu. Qin Erniang didn't dare to be with the nobles, followed Lin Dan with a plate of stewed pork, talking about various gossips in the capital. She now particularly likes Shopkeeper Lin, not only because of her good craftsmanship, but also because of her kindness. Get along with her, you can feel her peace and tolerance everywhere, this is the most comfortable place.
After two quarters of an hour, they came out again. The siblings were gone, but there was a shiny golden leaf on the table. Qin Erniang swallowed hard, and sighed sincerely: "My dear, good craftsmanship is good, treasurer Lin, your store is afraid to make a profit!"
From this day on, Tang Jiu, Weiyuanhou, Dianqianjun Wang and others have become loyal fans of the restaurant in their hometown. Even if they eat for themselves, they often pack food for relatives and friends. With these living signs of them, Lin Dan's business is getting better and better. Not only the people in Nancheng, but also the high-ranking officials in Xicheng and Dongcheng will come quietly and enjoy the meal quietly, putting on the most ordinary clothes. delicacy. No matter how many delicacies of mountains and seas have been eaten, the one that I love most and miss most is still such a dish of hometown.
----
Two months later, Lin Dan has completely gained a foothold in the capital. She is busy with the business in her store in the morning and teaches Chef Qiu to cook in the afternoon. Chef Qiu only learned the culinary skills from his father for three years, and he didn't practice knives well, let alone cooking. But he was very spiritual, and he was willing to study. After teaching Lin Dan, he became interested, and formally accepted Little Chef Qiu as his apprentice.
On this day, Tang Jiu invited several princes from Mongolia to the restaurant for dinner. Lin Dan cooked a large pot of hand-caught lamb with almond milk, and made a sauce with hamgrass head and leek flowers, and served it directly for the guests to use. Xiaozhu wanted to prepare chopsticks and dishes, but she shook her head and denied it.
Without tableware, how can guests eat? The official who came with Tang Jiu immediately shook his face, and a young man who looked quite similar to Tang Jiu yelled: "For those who are ignorant, so many of us come to eat, you just have to take a big one. What about the bowl? Where's the chopsticks? Shall we grab it with our hands? Brother Nine, this restaurant is too unreliable. Let's go to Yan's restaurant. Sister Yan is out of the palace today. She should be in the restaurant. With good craftsmanship, the guests must be satisfied."
The man's name is Tang Peng. He is Tang Jiu's cousin. He is now also working in the Ministry of War. He is in love with Yan Langqing and naturally strongly advocates going to Yan's restaurant. It's a pity that his proposal was rejected by his cousin, and now that Lin Dan makes such a big oolong, it's hard to get it right.
"If you don't have knowledge, talk less, so as not to be ashamed." Tang Jiu's tone was cold and unhappy.
"Nine brothers, I am also to entertain the distinguished guests. They finally come to Da Chu, so you will take them to eat this? You don't even look at the faces of the princes..." He said and turned around. I went over to see the princes, and planned to explain them nicely, and then ask them to move, but they saw that they reached into the big basin and grabbed a piece of lamb with bones. They gobbled it up and ate it. What he said, his face was full of admiration.
An aide who understands Mongolian translated: "Several princes are very satisfied with the meal. This dish is called hand-caught lamb, and it was eaten directly by hand."
Another prince next to him raised his voice and said a word. The aides’ expressions were more pleasant, and continued: “Several princes said that the mutton in the Central Plains is too stinky and they are not used to eating them. They have been hungry and thin after coming to Beijing for two months. It’s a few catties, and I finally have enough to eat today. The lamb made by this chef is very tender, without the smell of Central Plains lamb. It is exactly the same as the lamb they ate on the grassland. The hometown restaurant is worthy of the hometown restaurant, and it really deserves its reputation!"
Tang Jiu made a few words modestly, and then grabbed the mutton and started eating it. Several officials wanted to get under the table, and they said in their hearts that it's okay, but some princes don't understand Chinese, otherwise they would be embarrassed today. Tang Peng's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and he was speechless for a long time. He yelled and scolded there, and berated the shopkeeper Lin for his lack of knowledge, but it turned out that this dish was a speciality of Mongolia. It was originally grabbed with his hands, but he seemed short-sighted and inferior to a cook.
Xiao Zhu and the others were a little nervous at first, so they almost laughed aloud when they saw this scene. Bah! There is really no knowledge of any high-ranking officials!
Lin Dan didn't care about the farce in the front hall, washed his hands and boarded the carriage to Xicheng. In order to fight against the sudden rise of Qiaoyuan Restaurant, Yan's Restaurant has launched two signature dishes in a row in two months. I heard that the third dish will be launched today, and she has to go and see it.
