Men's Petite Wife: Lord, Madam ran away again

Chapter 22

The tables and chairs on the second floor are more spacious than those on the first floor. In many areas, flowers and plants are specially placed to cover them. Although it is not as exquisite and luxurious as Chengdong Restaurant, it is really unique. .

Looking around, Ji Wanyi chose a table by the window, walked over and took a seat.

As soon as he sat down, a shop waiter appeared from the side and poured tea for the three of them, while taking out a...book?Put it on the table.

Seeing this, Ji Wanyi couldn't help raising her eyebrows, reached out and took the notebook on the table with interest, and said jokingly: "You are very interesting, you come here to serve tea and water without reporting food. Name, just put a script, can't let us read this script to satisfy our hunger?"

"Guest officer, this is your first time here." Xiao Er laughed when he heard the words, "Our Zuixian Tower is different from other places, you might as well open that 'Huabook' first and have a look."

These words aroused Ji Wanyi's interest even more, and she turned to the first page in a calm and dissatisfied manner.

From the appearance of this book, it can only be said to be plain, with only the word "autumn" written in the center. You can see that it is definitely not the case when you open the first page. The difference from the cover is that the first page is written in different colors. A page of place names.

"This 'Huabenzi' is actually a collection of dishes from all over the world made by the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou, which records different specialties of each region. It is divided into four books of spring, summer, autumn and winter, corresponding to what we can cook in Zuixianlou in that season. All the dishes, as long as there are some dishes above, we can make them in Zuixianlou, of course, some dishes may require you to let us know when you need them in advance due to material reasons, so that we can prepare them in advance."

After listening to Xiaoer's explanation, Ji Wanyi was very interested in this, and couldn't help asking, "Then why are these place names written in different colors?"

"Because we can cook too many dishes in Zuixianlou, our shopkeeper wrote all the dishes on pages of different colors according to the region, so that it is convenient to order dishes. And it's not like I'm talking about the way the pages are colored. Only our shopkeeper knows." The tone of Xiao Er who mentioned the shopkeeper changed, and his face was full of admiration.

According to Xiao Er's explanation, Ji Wanyi turned to the page that belonged to the color of the capital. It was indeed the names of some dishes that Ji Wanyi had seen in the capital. She ordered a few common dishes at random, and Ji Wanyi followed the prompts and flipped through the correspondence of several counties at random. Ye ordered a few dishes at random, and asked Xiaoer to close the notebook and leave.

Shi Mo Xiwen, who had been silent for a while after Xiao Er stepped back, let you speak one sentence at a time.

"This shopkeeper is quite brazen. Such a thin book dares to be called the best of the world, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue."

"Indeed, I caught a glimpse of the place name just now, but I wrote a lot of it. How can anyone really learn all the dishes from so many places? Learn all the characteristics."

Ji Wanyi, who was leaning on the back of the chair at the side, listened to their denunciation, shook the folding fan in her hand, and said, "I don't think so, if it's really what you said, this Zuixianlou is a The building will not be full of seats, since it can attract so many people, it must have its own reasons, and it is not too late for us to wait for him to serve good dishes before evaluating."

Xiwen and Shimo looked at each other and shut up.

After a short wait, the first dish was served. Several pieces of square golden pastries were neatly stacked together, and the fragrance of flowers could be smelled just by placing them on the table.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Yangzhou County. It tastes dense and sweet but not greasy. It tastes sweet after eating. The sweet-scented osmanthus is dried in advance. Now it tastes rich in aroma. Before other dishes are served, you can eat some pastries to fill it up abdomen."

Ji Wanyi picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite. Sure enough, as Xiao Er said, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake melted in the mouth, and it melted in her mouth with a light sip. Under a osmanthus forest.

The next dish was a fish-flavored shredded pork dish from Shuyu County. Although there was no fish meat or bone in the whole dish, it still gave people the unique umami taste of fish.

There is also stewed chicken with shiitake mushrooms in Sunan County. The clear soup preserves the original flavor of shiitake mushrooms and chicken to the greatest extent.

There are a total of six or seven dishes, each of which is unbelievably delicious. Although I don’t know if the special dishes in other counties have the same taste as the local ones, the few dishes in the capital almost make the three of them doubt whether they will return to the capital. Not too far off.

The three of them enjoyed a delicious meal in Zuixianlou, full of wine and food always makes people lazy and do not want to move, so Ji Wanyi invited Xiao Er to chat about Zuixianlou.

"Do you know why your shopkeeper opened the Zuixian Tower in the west of the city where fish and dragons are mixed? Just by relying on these few dishes, he is enough to gain a good reputation in the east of the city, earn more money and serve more dignitaries, but has He is so skillful but he is only willing to nest in this small corner, it really confuses me."

"My son, you don't know about this. According to our shopkeeper, he was wandering around for various reasons. He has been to everywhere and seen it, but whenever it comes to food, it is always the most suitable food from his hometown. taste, but people always have the time to leave their hometown involuntarily. It must be a great blessing to be able to eat a mouthful of hometown food in a different place, so our shopkeeper opened this drunken restaurant after he settled down in Xijiao County. Xianlou."

"I guess you must have also wondered why we can have so many recipes from all over the world in Zuixianlou," Xiao Er paused after speaking, and then continued after seeing Ji Wanyi nodded, "Actually, there are some dishes. Fang didn’t come here by visiting the north and south. You may not have noticed when you came in. There is a list of begging and buying food from all over the world posted on our door, but anyone who can provide dishes that are unique to our hometown and not available in Zuixianlou will be accepted. To be able to get a large bounty is to collect around in this way to make our restaurant's "Tianxia Cuisine Collection" thicker and thicker."

Hearing this, Ji Wanyi suddenly said, "I see, this is why your shopkeeper opened the store in the west of the city! There are a large number of traveling merchants from all over the city passing by merchants in the west of the city every day. Only in this way can we collect more and more There are so many recipes, if you are in the east of the city, you may not be able to see a recipe for more than a month."

"My lord is really a man of great wisdom." Xiao Er's reflection confirmed Ji Wanyi's conjecture from the side.

After thinking it through, Ji Wanyi was extremely happy, she clapped and closed the folding fan, her eyes seemed to light up.

West of the city is indeed a good place!It's a pity that I didn't come here earlier, wasting two years in vain!
but it does not matter.Ji Wanyi rolled her eyes, anyway, she still has more time in the future, and she has to hide from Xie Jingliang for a few days, which is not a good reason to run west of the city!
