The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 30
"Could it be that your cook doesn't know how?" Meng Xiaoshu was a little puzzled, this is not a very difficult dish to cook.

"Excuse me, I have never even heard of this dish." The shopkeeper was afraid that Meng Xiaosuo was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, so he frowned, not knowing what to do.

Meng Xiaosuo saw through his worries, and said with a faint smile, "How about this, you can find some lime, and I will cook this dish."

The shopkeeper quickly nodded: "Girl, the kitchen is at the back, just follow me."

Lime is not uncommon, and the guys at the shop were quick to get some from outside.

Whisk the eggs and add clarified lime water, Meng Xiaocomb's movements are a little rusty.In my previous life, I had to undergo training every day, and the time was extremely full. Where would I have the opportunity to learn how to cook?She only watched Aunt Shui make this dish, but the general steps are still clear.

Stir the lime water and eggs, put it in the pot, steam for a while, then pour light soy sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle a circle of green onion.Even the chef from Yaoyuelou couldn't help swallowing when he smelled it.

"Can this be eaten?" The shopkeeper was still a little puzzled, the girl cooked the dishes rightly, but in case the ninth son spoiled his stomach and made something wrong with the food, Yaoyuelou would not be able to get rid of it.

"Of course it can be eaten." Meng Xiaosuo picked up the bowl and spoon, blew it cool, and tasted it herself. Although the taste was not as authentic as Aunt Shui's, it was barely passable.

Seeing that she had eaten all the food, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything more.He quietly asked the person serving the dish to try it with silver chopsticks, and seeing that the chopsticks did not change color, he immediately ordered someone to bring this dish out together with other dishes.

Meng Xiaocomo naturally saw this scene, and secretly lamented the old shopkeeper's prudence and dedication.How great would it be if he could be poached into a wine shop as a buddy?But this is just thinking about it, after all, no matter how good the business of the restaurant is, it can't compare to this Yaoyuelou.

"That's right!" She thought, "Shopkeeper, how much wine do you need every month?"

"Probably a hundred pots, but it also depends on what kind of wine it is. I drink more Nvnvhong and Zhuyeqing, and less like burning knives." The shopkeeper was a little puzzled, usually only wine merchants would ask such a question , could it be that the little girl in front of me is a businessman at home?
Those who can enter this Yaoyue building are either rich or expensive. These people tend to like to be arty, so naturally they don't drink burning knives.Meng Xiaoshu nodded, thinking to herself, I don't know what kind of wine Mrs. Wang and Sister Zhang are good at.

"Who is it that serves you wine?" she asked.

"It's Chen Erye from the Chen family village outside the mountain. This man owns a winery, and the wine production is not very good, but he has a little friendship with the bandits, so no one dares to offend. At the beginning, our boss Li wanted to be with Ben. The wine shop in the town does business, but Chen Erye came to the door, and he couldn't refuse." The shopkeeper said.

If Miss Meng is the daughter of a wine merchant, and she wants to do business with Yaoyuelou, if she disagrees, she will slap Duan Zhifu and Master Jiu in the face. If she agrees, then why would Chenjiazhai give up?He had no choice but to tell Meng Xiaosuo about the situation so that she could understand his difficulties.

"Well, I see." Meng Xiaosuo is not a fool, and the shopkeeper's words have covered this point, so it is difficult for her to mention the wine she wants to serve, "Other restaurants in the town are also run by Chen Does the village serve wine?"

"Of course not," the shopkeeper waved his hand. "After all, this is our territory. As an outsider, Mr. Chen, even if he knows bandits, he has to give the local people a little face. Otherwise, how can the wine shop owners in the town live?"

"That's right." Meng Xiaoshu nodded, then he had to start with other restaurants.

The lime steamed eggs had already been served, and when she sat back on the table, the bowl of dishes was scooped up by everyone until there was not much left.

"Sister, when did you know how to cook?" Meng Wenqing was very surprised, but after not seeing her for a few months, her sister has superb medical skills and can cook by herself. The previous lady who only knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting was too different. Thinking about it carefully, she was a completely different person.

Meng Xiaoshu knew the doubts in his heart, and smiled to cover up: "Naturally, I learned it. Could it be that some people are born with it?"

Gu Zhiyuan, who was at the side, handed a small bowl in front of her. There were a few spoonfuls of lime steamed eggs in the bowl, and it was still steaming.

"Sister, brother Zhiyuan specially left this for you." Meng Wenqing said first.

Just now, he had a chat with Gu Zhiyuan, and they had a very flirtatious flirtation with this gentle and jade-like Mr. Pianpian.

"You don't learn well at a young age, and call others brothers and sisters." Meng Xiaoshu glared at him, and then gave Gu Zhiyuan a blank look.This little boy was really scary, he had only been away for a short while, and he had won over this ignorant Meng Wenqing.

"Eat quickly, it's getting cold." Mrs. Wang, who hadn't said a word, smiled kindly and reminded her.Today's meal is the most delicious one she has eaten in more than ten years.When she thought of how much money she could make from brewing wine with her old bones, and marry her son a good wife, her heart was sweeter than eating honey.

After they had dinner together, Uncle Zhao helped Mrs. Wang to go to the inn to rest. After knowing that they were friends of Meng Xiaosuo, the shopkeeper immediately opened a good private room and never dared to mention the word "money".

Meng Xiaosu, Gu Zhiyuan, and Meng Wenqing came to the bustling street.At night, the shops are deserted, but the snack business is booming.

The rice shop on West Street is in a good location, but unfortunately there is already a restaurant opposite.Although the location of the Gold Shop on East Street is slightly inferior, it is far from the wine list, so it is a good choice.Moreover, it is a small two-story building. The upper floor was originally the residence of the owner's family. Now the owner's family is moving out of the town, which happens to be suitable for Mrs. Wang and Uncle Zhao to live in.

"That's it, how much is the monthly rent?" Meng Xiaocom asked the landlord.

The owner of the house has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like a real person, he said with a naive smile, "Since I am a distinguished guest of the prefect Duan, I don't dare to charge a high price, how about a penny a month?"

Meng Xiaocom nodded: "Then it's settled."

She had inquired before that the minimum monthly rent for the shops along the street was one penny, not to mention that there were several houses above this shop that could live in, and the owner did not charge high prices.

After paying the rent for three months, she wanted to find a nearby carpenter to customize some beds, tables and chairs for Mrs. Wang and Uncle Zhao.After Gu Zhiyuan reminded him, he remembered that Uncle Zhao himself was a carpenter, so he dismissed the idea.

Elder Sister Zhang has been ill for the past few days, so she did not come with them. After returning to the inn, Meng Xiaoshu immediately told her about it.Then he sent his younger brother, Meng Wenqing, to tell Mrs. Wang and Uncle Zhao the location of the store. After hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Uncle Zhao were overjoyed.
