Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1045
[Chapter 670 The Luwei Store Changes to a New Owner]
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t tell Wang Ju what he planned to do, not to mention Wang Ju, even if he belonged to the inner courtyard of the Wang family, he didn’t know what Zhang Xiaobao wanted to do.
Only a few parts of the Zhang family’s inner courtyard are clear, but they are tight-lipped.
In the same way, before arriving in Hangzhou, the Zhang family’s inner courtyard did not know what Wang Juan had arranged. It was originally a family, but it actually formed a system of its own.
As soon as they said they would go, in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tidied up a little, boarded a big boat at the pier, and headed north.
Half a day later, a shop about three meters away from the east of Wang Ju’s house on the same street in Hangzhou was bought. It was on the other side of the road, and the diagonal side was Wang Ju’s house.
The store used to sell braised vegetables, including chicken and pigs, but no braised beef. The business was neither good nor bad. It was average. Braised, very simple, was salt. Braised products are usually boiled in salt water.
Later, Zhang Xiaobao specially prepared a few simple seasonings that he used to make lo mei.
Indica is also very expensive. Ordinary people don’t always buy it. Why don’t you eat meat?
Why do you have to use seasonings to remove the gravy, so the lo-mei store can only be stocked. If the seasoning is half cheaper, half of the lo-mei stores in Datang are estimated to be closed.
The main dishes of the Luwei shop are braised chicken and pigs, one big piece, and then someone ordered it and cut it into pieces. It is eaten with vinegar. As for rice white vinegar and vinegar blended with glacial acetic acid, ordinary people cannot afford it.
The small shop also sells rice wine and liquor. With the increase in grain output, there are no restrictions on wine production, and no restrictions on raising pigs. Pigs do not necessarily have to eat a lot of grain.
There are people who often come to ask for a small plate of lo mei and can drink two bowls of rice wine. The owner of the existing shop changed when they came the next day. The original three people became the current couple, looking thirty. next year.
The hostess smiles when she sees it. The hostess is well maintained. She doesn’t look like someone who does heavy work all day. If it weren’t for a dozen pockmarks on her face, she must be a beauty. Unfortunately, she is guarding the counter. There is an abacus, a bell pen and paper, which should be a woman’s bookkeeper.
When the people who came in saw the change, they were surprised at first, but also felt uncomfortable. Knowing people had an extra sense of intimacy and belonging, and the change of the shopkeeper was not as comfortable as before.
The visitor hesitated for a while, but decided to have a try. He walked inward, thinking about finding the place where he often sat, when suddenly the layout of the small shop changed. It used to be six tables, but now it has become four. , There are also two tables with long stools on both sides.
In front of the four stools, there are two or four that say that the table is much narrower than the table,
and has grown a lot longer. “Table?” It used to be five feet wide, but now it is two feet wide. Lines are also drawn.
It gives the impression that the person eating is sitting on the stool, and there is a grid drawn in front of it, and it seems that it is not very comfortable to eat in that position.
The person who came in didn’t intend to sit, but came to the big table and sat there and turned to look at the man in the mom-and-pop shop. What?”
“Anything? Did you have any before?” the visitor asked back.
When the man in the shop heard this, he made a sudden expression, his smile became brighter, and said, “You are a regular customer, yes, there are all the original ones. When the shop took over, the elder brother said that he can’t go to the original one. The thing that I have, someone is like this, how dare I withdraw it casually, you say yes?” As soon as the words came out, the person who came here was satisfied, and his status was improved invisibly. Listen, the old customer, the new owner also knows it is patrons.
“A plate of pork head meat, first a bowl of rice wine and a plate of salt and beans.” The visitor said happily.
“Alright, wait a moment.” The man still smiled inappropriately, agreed, turned back to the back, the hostess standing behind the counter had already brought the tea, brewed tea, which is popular in the Tang Dynasty now, boiled Tea is generally not drunk, and it seems that the taste is not as good as brewing.
Of course, if you really want to set up a tea ceremony, it will take the same time, but it is not a place dedicated to drinking tea, and no one will set a tea ceremony for you.
The tea is very strong, but the tea leaves are not good tea leaves. When poured from the pot into the cup, there is still foam, but the customer doesn’t care. If you really change the tea for him, he may still feel that the taste is not strong enough, and the drink is bitter and astringent. , the taste of chewing tea foam.
As soon as he took a sip, the man and the owner came back with a tray. This is professional. Who would use trays to serve dishes in ordinary small shops?
“Okay, there are trays. I also enjoy the feeling of going down to the restaurant. In the past, I usually went to the Chengfeng Building near the lake to eat, and I only got this treatment. You have it here too, haha.” When the
guests saw the tray, they were satisfied. said.
“Oh, are you Brother Chao?” The man who put the dishes on the table asked in a daze.
“How did you know?” The man called Brother Chao was surprised.
“Why don’t you know, the original eldest brother has said it no less than three times, saying that there is a person from Cao Chao who always comes to eat, and every time he comes, he has to talk about Chengfenglou, and he also chanted * there, although one sentence, But the artistic conception is extraordinary, what is it called, oh, it’s called ‘the tide rises and falls, the tide is high, brother tide, hehe.” The
man smiled and seemed to be closer.
When Cao Chao heard this, he shook his head helplessly: “It’s just such a trivial matter, and don’t forget to bury me with you when you leave, okay, brother Chao will be brother Chao, wait? Your dish is wrong? I only need one plate. Pork head meat, a plate of salted beans, and a bowl of rice wine, but you have two more dishes. This plate is dry tofu? And this one is a plate of rice?”
“Yes, yes, it’s dry tofu and rice, um, Now many people call it kimchi, and the two of us looked at the brine and put it there, and there was still meaty meat in it, so we put the dried tofu in it and boiled it twice, then took it out and cut it for people to taste.
Brother Chao, you are a regular customer. You should add two dishes. I didn’t know that Brother Chao came here. Wait, I’m going back.
The
guy nodded, explained a sentence, turned around and entered the back again. When Cao Chao was happy, he came back again with two more dishes in his hand, which he put on the table one by one, and said, “This is the tip of a chicken wing, just wine.” Just right, this is cold pork rind, don’t look at the skin, the taste is more fragrant than the meat, other people come in, there is no single order of this dish.
“Yo, how embarrassing is this?” Cao Chao’s face appeared embarrassed.
“Chaofu”, you are still polite to me, what’s your embarrassment? Although it’s the first time we meet, it will still grow in the future. I miss you, a regular customer, who is used to the taste of the past. If you can come in, you will give me face. , try it, I think it can still be eaten. If I come here often in the future, I will earn the money back.
“The guy said with sincerity in his eyes.
“Okay, I got my love today. You are a real person, your surname?”
“Cao Chao’s heart is very comfortable. The man’s words are warm and heart-warming. He is also a real person.
” It’s the person in the house. Originally there were two children at home, and they were not around. It was convenient to send my mother to school. I really came here.
“The
doctor smiled and said a lot of things about himself, and he also said what people hadn’t asked yet.
Cao Chao found out, and the other party was really, so he was about to report his household registration. Lightly dipped soy sauce in the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it. After chewing twice, his eyes widened and his movements stopped.
Then he quickly ate two bites, and his chopsticks kept busy at the same time, blinking time. Five pieces of pork head meat entered his stomach, he turned his head sharply, and said in surprise, “Wow Shishi, you run a small shop with such craftsmanship?
Qu Cai, Qu Cai You, to be honest, this plate of pork head meat is not expensive for twenty cents.
”
How can it be? It’s still the same price as before, eleven cents. Brother Chao, don’t hold me up. I don’t know my own abilities.”
You can eat as much as you want.
“The guy Zhang Shi rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said.
“It’s more than enough to eat? It’s good, I didn’t lie to you, hey, it’s a pity, anyway, if you really went to the restaurant, I wouldn’t be able to eat it. With your craftsmanship, I will definitely come here in the future, and I will tell others, Let others come too.” Cao Chao went to try other dishes while he was talking, and every time he tasted the same, he was surprised.
“Brother Chao, you eat.” The man greeted, turned around and came to the counter, where he stood silently.
In the end, Cao Chao drank five bowls of rice wine with the dishes, settled the bill, walked out, stood at the door and praised for a while before leaving.
Waiting for the people to leave, the UU reading www.sonicmtl.com guy sighed, seeing that it was still early, and it was estimated that no one would come in again, he walked to the counter, pulled a stool and sat down, and said to the hostess: “Wife, what’s the matter? Like? Your husband and my craftsmanship? Did you hear it? People say that the pork head meat that is usually worth 11 yuan, your husband and I make it worth 20 yuan.” The hostess pursed her lips and smiled, and said, “Maybe I’ll be patient. , or my husband is very good. To make a plate of pork head meat, you have to sell it for 20 cents. In the future, Li Longji will eat it. Let’s just let him ask for this amount. Come on, Li Longji is a poor ghost, not to mention twenty cents, he can’t take out two cents of money, bear it, just treat the poor, do you think my makeup is off?” The man raised his face to show the female shopkeeper. .
The female shopkeeper rolled her eyes: “You don’t believe my craftsmanship? Go, get all kinds of dishes ready, it will be noon in a while, it’s time for the master, don’t be too busy, earn a penny is a penny, remember the bad appearance If you want to mark it out, I will save money. People have praised you just now, saying that you are a real person, you can’t lie and break the sign.”
“Yes, go get it right away, hurry up, it will be fine in a while, there is no way, I’m just like this, I’m good at craftsmanship, I’m honest, I never lie, I’m born to be bullied, and I have to be bullied for the rest of my life.” The man walked towards the back kitchen, and the female shopkeeper asked, ” Who are you talking about?” “Customer, am I not a buddy? I am a buddy, and I have to help others create opportunities. It’s easy for me.” The buddy left a sentence and disappeared behind the door.
