Chapter 43 Huaxiao Tower, it’s decided!
In the afternoon, Asong served a dish.

Nie Huating glanced at it.

Two dishes, in her words, one clear soup noodles and one white water tofu.

Shopkeeper Li next to him couldn't help but said: "I'm only cooking two dishes this afternoon, and these two dishes are too simple. Aren't you obviously trying to fool my wife?!"

Ah Song stood quietly aside, "Madam, you came in a hurry. If you let me prepare all the ingredients, there will be more than two dishes."

Shopkeeper Li was even more angry: "So you blame Madam for coming in a hurry?"

"That's enough." Nie Huating picked up his chopsticks, "From now on, the kitchen affairs will be managed by Ah Song. Shopkeeper Li and I are both laymen, so it's best not to get involved. Shopkeeper Li, what do you think?"

After being a shopkeeper for so many years, when someone said something to me, my old face turned red, angry and embarrassed: "Yes, yes, madam, that's what I said."

He wanted to see what was so special about the tofu and clear soup noodles!

If you serve this kind of food to others, this restaurant should really be closed!

Nie Huating looked at the two watery dishes and was a little confused as to what to do.

She likes spicy food and neither dish was to her liking.

Then eat some tofu first!

Nie Huating took a deep breath and put the soft tofu into his mouth.

Ah Tang was equally nervous and stared at her reaction.

This dish doesn't look delicious at all.

The woman froze suddenly.

after awhile.

After a while.

Ah Tang's heart skipped a beat, "Madam, what's wrong?"

No, it tastes so bad that it can poison people to death, right?
The woman's eyes lit up, she chewed carefully, and after swallowing, she slowly said two words:
"good to eat."

"."

Nie Huating repeated again: "Really, delicious!"

Ah Tang was surprised and dumbfounded.

Shopkeeper Li was equally incredulous: "Ma'am, why don't you try it again and see what's so delicious about this white water tofu?"

Nie Huating recalled the taste over and over again.

A simple piece of tofu looks clear and watery, but when you take a bite, it is full of sauce aroma.

Moreover, the spiciness is obvious.

Nie Huating asked curiously: "There is no chili in this dish, how come it has such a spicy taste?"

Ah Song was the first to cook in many years, and was recognized by others. The man in his 40s said with excitement in his eyes: "The spiciness of green and red peppers is too exciting, so blanch the green peppers in hot water and dry them in the sun." , it becomes white, and the dish made in this way is spicy but not exciting."

Nie Huating praised: "Well, you did a good job."

Ah Song lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

How long has it been since I cooked.

How long has it been since I received recognition from others?

His family has been cooks in the Guo family for generations. When he was a child, he heard his father admonish him: People in the Guo family like to eat spicy food, but they can't eat spicy food. Moreover, for a family like the Guo family, the food should not be too colorful.

He grew up listening to this kind of admonishment since he was a child. When he grew up, he developed a lot of skills.

It's a pity that after the master's death, he never cooked such a dish again.

Nie Huating praised him a few more times, but A Song always kept it cool.

She could guess that asking him to cook the same dishes as he had done before would arouse his sadness.

It is conceivable that the Guo family was very famous back then.

Ten years ago, she had not yet entered the eldest princess' mansion and was far away from Luoyang, but she had also heard that the Guo family had been loyal and good for generations, but ended sadly.

Nie Huating picked up a pair of noodles with chopsticks.

She already had a general understanding of Ah Song's cooking skills, so the taste of this bowl of noodles would not be bad.

The same clear soup has little water, but Nie Huating can smell the aroma.

After taking one bite, the woman looked normal. After finishing one bite, Nie Huating put down his chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Li was surprised and delighted: "Madam, isn't this bowl of noodles delicious?"

He knew that maybe the tofu dish just now was just the chef's mistake.

It's useless to do these red and green peppers, if he doesn't have real skills, he'll drive them away anyway!
Ah Song looked at his master's expression and thought: "Madam, is there any problem here?" Nie Huating paused, "No problem."

This side looks ordinary, but after one chopstick enters the mouth, there is a refreshing and cold aura.

"What is this noodle made of?"

Ah Song replied: "The water for cooking noodles is made from chicken soup and snow water."

Nie Huating nodded, no wonder Qing Lie.

She remembered that in that place in the clouds, it was bitterly cold all year round and it would snow for half the year.

The Guo family has been clinging to Yunzhong for generations.

This side is mixed with strong emotions.

The woman raised her head: "This bowl of noodles is not inferior to tofu, but most people can't taste the emotion in this noodles, so there is no need to serve it in the future."

The man in his 40s actually had red eyes after hearing this.

It’s a lie to say that I don’t miss my master’s family.

Things have changed, and the taste of this dish has also changed.

The snow in the clouds cannot make the most delicious noodles when it comes to Luoyang.

The woman's face was radiant, and her firm voice sounded: "From now on, I will leave the food in this building to you, so don't let me down."

"Yes."

Ah Song couldn't help but look at Nie Huating. She was just a teenage girl, but she had a bit of a resolute attitude.

I heard that Madam’s husband is Xie Chongxiao, the Marquis of Changping.

Shopkeeper Li's face became increasingly ugly. He originally thought that on the first day his wife came here, she would not be able to decide anything and would have to rely on him as the shopkeeper, but she didn't expect that she would directly bypass him and appoint a new chef.

This was clearly an attempt to give him a blow.

Nie Huating asked: "The pricing of this new dish must be done well. Now we must make a name for ourselves. Shopkeeper Li, do you understand?"

"Here, these dishes are all the same. Besides, A Song is not famous in the restaurant. The price of the dishes can be reduced by two percent compared to the previous prices."

Nie Huating was angry, "How can such a thing be vague! In this case, I will change it, you remember it."

Shopkeeper Li reluctantly hummed.

The woman said leisurely: "If it were based on the previous price, there would be no one."

Shopkeeper Li agreed: "Yes, why not lower the price -"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman:
"Raise it up ten times!"

"."

Shopkeeper Li's jaw almost dropped to the ground: "Ten times?!"

Ah Song was also very surprised when he heard the price. Although the new owner was young, he was very thoughtful.

Shopkeeper Li quickly bowed: "Madam, this is no joke. Even if you want to make money, you have to take your time. If this continues, I'm afraid you'll lose everything!"

Nie Huating said calmly: "I know that shopkeeper Li and his people rely on this restaurant to make a living. Just do as you please. I have my own plan."

Shopkeeper Li said with anger: "Madam, if you do this, I'm sorry that I can't obey my order!"

The young woman smiled and said, "Then, what does Shopkeeper Li have to say?"

"If Madam is making such a fuss, I'm afraid this restaurant will be closed completely!"

Nie Huating raised his chin: "Shopkeeper Li, let me make a bet with you. If the business of this restaurant does not improve within seven days, then I will willingly abdicate and you will still be in charge of this restaurant. If I can do a good job, then Shopkeeper Li will be in charge from now on." You must assist me well from now on."

"In this case, the villain agrees to the madam's bet."

Nie Huating said to Ah Song: "You don't have to feel pressure, just do whatever you want."

It had been a long time since I had received such appreciation, and my heart was suddenly filled with something.

Ah Song lowered his head and said with real respect: "Yes."

Nie Huating stood up and said, "Go and prepare. The restaurant will reopen in three days. Then we will see if I did the right thing."

When the woman came out of the restaurant, the sun had already set outside.

Nie Huating suddenly thought of something and looked back at the plaque hanging in front of the restaurant.

"Jixiang Tower." She murmured, "It's an ordinary name. Since I want to start over, I have to change it to a new one."

Shopkeeper Li listened carefully and couldn't say anything.

Until I heard Nie Huating say:
"Hua Xiao Tower, it's settled!"
