The farm cook is very prosperous

Chapter 65
In the afternoon, I took Huniu back to the restaurant again, and planned to take advantage of the lunch break to hold a meeting with everyone to discuss the new dishes that the restaurant was going to launch.

This Aohuayu is one of the "Four Famous Freshwater Fishes" in my country. Because of its tender meat, few thorns and more meat, its meat is petal-shaped and delicious, and it is always a good product among fish.The famous poem written by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe, "Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms flow in the water and mandarin fish are fat," praises this kind of fish.

With the theme of peach blossoms, hold the Aohua Fish Festival, attract more literati and scholars to come to participate, and hold a top-level and luxurious food.On the same day, Chunniang brought Fang Fang brothers and other chefs together to cook several mandarin fish-themed dishes in the big kitchen, including squirrel mandarin fish, juicy fish soup, fried mandarin fish in tomato sauce, fish Bite the sheep, and also practiced on the spot how to marinate the famous Anhui dish, stinky mandarin fish, as well as the skills that should be paid attention to when cooking and serving, which was unanimously affirmed by the chefs and passed the project of holding the squid festival. resolution.

Chunniang stepped up her efforts to publicize the Peach Blossom-Aohua Fish Festival, attracting literati from hundreds of miles around to come here admiringly, and the half-month-long food festival came to an end.Not only did they make a lot of money, but it also benefited the surrounding inns and restaurants a lot. Now, no one in Yun County knows the existence of Dingxianglou, and it is even a household name in the entire Jiangnan.

Just after noon, Chun Niang, who has just been busy with kitchen work, likes to sit alone in the shade of a tree, take advantage of the summer breeze, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the courtyard and taste a table of delicacies, so as to relax and relieve stress.Slowly tasting the peach blossom wine in her hand, this is a fine wine tailor-made for the peach blossom - Aohua fish. The fruit is sweet and refreshing, fresh and pleasant, and it can also promote blood circulation and nourish the skin. It doesn't matter if you drink more, and it won't make people drunk. It is welcomed by many ladies and women.

Boom, boom, boom An eager knock on the door broke the tranquility of the backyard.Chunniang looked left and right, but there was no one in the courtyard, her brows were slightly frowned, and suddenly she felt a little dissatisfied. She didn't know whether it was because the knock on the door broke her good mood, or she was worried about going to open the door herself.

As soon as the door opened, there was only a flash of a figure, and a superfluous old man in green robe sat down at the table carelessly.The old man has a full sky, high cheekbones, a plump nose, a pair of white eyebrows that are as long as weeping willows, hanging down to his chest, and three locks of beard.Taking a deep breath, he said: "This smell is really delicious, why don't you wait for the poor."

In Chunniang's astonished eyes, the visitor was not polite, and she poured herself a drink with the bowls and chopsticks on the table and started to eat. The old man's fairy image of an outsider turned into a hungry wolf, eating so much The mouth is full of oily flowers, although the smell of stinky mandarin fish is indeed very attractive, but there is no time for the mouth to utter a sound of admiration.

Chunniang continued to stare at the old man dumbfounded. He just said, "Why don't you wait for the poor?" It seemed that I knew him, but... I really didn't remember it. Could it be that the previous one knew him.It wasn't until all the dishes on the table were bottomed out and the jug was empty that the old man nodded in satisfaction with a full belch, and returned to his previous fairy appearance. This old man's face-changing speed is really fast enough.

"Little girl, do you know the Taoist priest?" This old Taoist is really rude, her lunch was ruined, her stinky mandarin fish, hericum erinaceus, her peach blossom...everything on this table is hers. Yes, Chunniang asked with a resentful look on her face.

The old Taoist bowed to Chun Niang, put on an inscrutable look, and continued: "I know, but I don't know."

"What do you mean?" Chunniang squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at this old man again. There are too many such quacks who cheat and cheat everywhere in modern times.

"The old Taoist came from thousands of miles, just for the female benefactor... The poor Taoist watched the stars at night. One day in the south, there was a change in the spiritual star, and the female benefactor will be killed in a short time."

Here we come, here we come, we are going to get to the point right now, this should be the real reason why this old man came here, cheating food and drink everywhere and making a lot of money in takeaways, these people are always afraid of scare words, put people first Scared to death, when you meet young people, you say bloody disasters, and when you meet old people, your house is not functioning. When the time comes to open the altar, they can't help but open the money.

The old Taoist stared at Chunniang again calmly: "If the benefactor is willing to believe in the poor, then the poor will resolve it for the benefactor."

If it was as she expected, she coldly snorted, "50 taels."

The old Taoist stroked his white beard, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Is this it? Well, the poor Taoist is good at making friends, 50 taels, let's just 50 taels."

"Bring it." Chunniang waved her hand.

"Ah." The old man was shocked.

Chun Niang patted the table and said with forgiveness: "You stinky Taoist priest, you have eaten so much delicious food, 50 taels is considered cheap for you, don't you still want to renege on your debts?"

"Infinite longevity, benefactor, how can you treat your savior like this, besides, once a poor monk becomes a monk, he will be entangled in such vulgar things and affect the cultivation of the old way," posing with a sense of demeanor. Less flat.

This old Taoist is really shameless. Not only does he regard himself as a living bodhisattva who cares about saving the world, but he also treats money like dung. Just now who licked his face and asked her for money, even sneered at this old Taoist: "If you I really can’t get it out, and I can’t force it on you, a monk, don’t you think so?”

"Well, as long as the benefactor understands, there is no limit to longevity." The old man said leisurely, stroking his white beard.

"I happen to be in need of a handyman. After five taels of silver a year, I can find myself and leave after ten years of work."

"Ah, you..." The old Taoist panicked again. He has never met such a difficult little girl. Isn't she just a cheated meal, although the taste is not worse than the food in the palace, but It would be too cruel to ask his old bones to work here for ten years.It seems that if you don't show some real kung fu today, you will definitely not be good at it.

With a wrinkled face, he suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and his voice softened by three points: "How about, in this way, besides helping people, Pindao can also look after the feng shui of houses and shops. Pindao is in your restaurant. Help you set up a wealth-prospering feng shui pattern to ensure your business is booming and customers are like clouds, what do you think?"

Chun Niang glanced and looked to the other side, ignoring what the old man said.

When the old man saw Chun Niang's eyes, he knew that this girl must not believe what she said. Why is it so difficult for a 12-year-old girl to guess her psychology.I can't help but look at it carefully, it doesn't matter if I don't look at it, the more I look, the more I can't see it through.

Chun Niang was only hairy when she was stared at by this old man. Could it be that this old man saw something, probably not, a charlatan who cheated on food and drink, shouldn't have such a great ability.For more than a year, she has lived smoothly. If she was called a monster suddenly, she wondered if she would be tied to a cross and lighted a sky lantern. The more she thought about it, the colder she felt, and the cold sweat crawled all over her back unconsciously. .Forget it, it's better to let this old man go. One more thing is worse than one less thing, so he hurriedly said: "Forget it, Miss Ben is in a good mood today, I don't care about you, you can go."
