Chang’an Small Restaurant

    Yang Jing smiled at Shao Jie: "It's this restaurant!"

    Shao Jie laughed: "Here?"

    Yang Jing raised his eyebrows, "Why? I don't like small restaurants? The food here is even praised by Li Xiang."

    Shao Jie laughed: "How dare you not look down on it? The flower cakes in our store have been selling better recently, thanks to this little lady of Shen Ji."

    Yang Jing also smiled: "Speaking of this, I believe, Shen Ji's flower cake is also very good." The tone was quite proud.

    Shao Jie laughed, this is still a foolishness, fortunately Li Xiang is a high moral and magnanimous, otherwise I am afraid the future will be difficult. Shao Jie sighed again. It turned out that he said that the poem was written on the outer wall of the wine shop. He was just seen by Li Xiang, who was going to have a drink, and was summoned into the prime minister's mansion. In this way, Shen Ji is a blessed place for the two of us.

    Now the "Poetry Wall" has been replaced by a "Vinegar Rhythm" written by Zhou Zhi. Yang Jing reviewed it, and Shao Jie only listened.

     This is? Shao Jie was a little curious.

    As soon as Shao and Yang entered the door, they saw the hot scene of the small wine shop. The food table was not empty. The fat maids are busy.

    Shen Shaoguang raised his head, "Shao Langjun, Yang Langjun—" These two, the young owner of the flower cake shop and the scholar who loves to write poetry, turned out to be friends?

    Both of them smiled and greeted Shen Shaoguang: "Little lady."

    Although one of them is the gold owner who has given more than 100 taels of silver, and the other is the part-time advertising planning director of our store, Shen Shaoguang can only smile apologetically to them, "I'm afraid it will take two Langjun Wait a while."

    Yang Jing was already familiar with the way and went straight to the counter to take the waiting seat sign, "It's okay, just wait a while."

    Shen Shaoguang brought two bowls of iced buttermilk to the two of them, "There is a fan on the couch outside, and there is a new legend from the Dongshi Bookstore, it's still cool in the shade, the gentlemen have a rest Take a break."

    Only then did Shao Jie know that the couch outside was waiting for a seat. It seemed that there was no couch last time I came here. It seems that Shen Ji's business is getting better and better.

    Shen Shaoguang didn't understand why it was a hot day, but business was getting better - it's hot, and your mouth has no taste, so you want to come to a restaurant and pub to eat something with a strong taste?

    After waiting for a while, Shao Jie and Yang Jing finally got their seats. Yang Jing considers himself a long-time customer, and has a free and easy temperament to return after all the money. He ordered a lot of the store's signature dishes to entertain friends, and also asked for a pot of top-quality amber wine. Shao Jie is not that scorpion. The stinger, just let him do it.

    Shao Jie took a bite of the agate meat, but it wasn't enough, he stuffed the whole piece in his mouth, and smiled after eating: "Well, it's so thick and fragrant! Suddenly, my appetite has opened. Not yet. See who can cook hog meat so delicious and beautiful. What's this meat called?"

    Yang Jing told him his name.

    "Agate meat is really a bit like agate." Shao Jie praised.

    Yang Jing smiled and said, "Let's talk, this is another feature of this place. Many dishes are named elegantly and interestingly. Just listening to the names of the dishes makes people think a lot."

    He pointed to the tofu soup next to him and said, "This is called Jianjia soup. It has chicken and minced shrimp in it. The dish is like a cream like a mirror, and the name is soft jade soup, and it is very practical."

    Shao Jie nodded, thinking that his own flower cakes should be renamed, sweet-scented osmanthus and jujube cakes...it's so real.

    The two came late and finished eating late. Slowly, the store passed the peak passenger flow. Shen Shaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, drank some tea, and came here to say hello.

      , you can come often."

    Shen Shaoguang joked: "Don't let our chef Yu Saburo hear what Shao Langjun said, otherwise we should be so sad? It's not the taste of the food that attracts Langjun to the small shop..."

    Shao Jie laughed, "The taste is also very good, the little lady's management method is even better."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "In the end, the former is true, and the latter is false."

    Although I am not very familiar, I know that this little lady is not that "honest", Shao Jie asked with a smile: "How do you say this?"

    "If you are only practical, you may be able to get a name for a while, but it will not last long; if you are only pragmatic, it is too real, and I am afraid it will be difficult to grow."

    Shao Jie high fives: "Little lady said it well!"

    My own cake workshop is big and has been passed down for several generations. Is it just because of the craftsmanship of making cakes? Although the craftsmanship is good, it is also related to the fact that my grandfather was hired as a foreigner. Although this foreigner is very vain, but as an anecdote, it is spread all over the place. Who doesn't want to taste the flower cake of this foreigner? And those contemporaries with my grandfather who only made cakes honestly, and those who couldn't even make cakes honestly, have long since disappeared.

    Even Yang Jing said, "What the little lady said is quite in line with the principle of 'words are not written, and actions are not far', and sometimes people say that "the text is consistent with the Tao"... "

    Seeing that his friend was talking at length, Shao Jie made a pained gesture and wiped his face.

    Yang Jing laughed and had to stop preaching.

    Shen Shaoguang grinned, and the realistic version of the scumbag and the good friends of the school get along everyday.

    Shao Jie said sternly: "To be honest, with the dishes of this restaurant and the talent of the little lady, such a small store is a bit underpowered, the little lady had thought that the East and West markets would be bigger. 's liquor store?"

    Who doesn’t want to open a luxury hotel in the CBD? But... Shen Shaoguang smiled and said, "Even though I'm greedy and hungry, I can only eat one bite at a time."

    Shao Jie understands what she means. The little lady is smart and cautious, and he can really become a top-ranked person among the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City.

    The three chatted for a while, and seeing that they were almost drinking, Shen Shaoguang asked, "Will you give the two gentlemen a bowl of sweet and fragrant eight-treasure rice?"

    There is no disagreement between the two of them.

    Eight Treasures Rice is a common dessert in later generations. Shen Shaoguang went to a banquet when he was a child. Even if he was full, he would eat two more bites of the Eight Treasures Rice.

    Eight Treasure Rice is easy to steam, apply a layer of oil at the bottom of the bowl, put the boiled lotus seeds, ginkgo, longan, raisins and other dried fruits on the bottom of the bowl, and then put the boiled eight ripe glutinous rice - first Cooking and steaming is to make the rice more sticky, glutinous and soft. Put bean paste stuffed with lard and sugar on top of the rice, and then cover the bean paste with glutinous rice. In this way, the bowl is filled and steamed in a basket.

     Blueberry jam, strawberry jam, various jams, in short, sweet and sweet. ①

    Shen Shaoguang brought the Eight Treasures Rice and shared the rice for the two with a large spoon and a small bowl.

    Shen Shaoguang was about to leave, but he heard a few drinkers next to him discussing the weather and current affairs.

    "Last year's drought, the stone auspicious beasts in the moat were exposed, I heard that the saint went to Yuanqiu to worship the sky to pray for rain, and made a big wish, and then it rained, who would have thought that it would not be this year. There's no rain, it's just too hot, I see..." The speaker pouted and shook his head.

    "The weather is unusual, I don't know what will happen in the future." Another sighed sadly.

    One more said: "Have you not heard of it? The toads in the northwest of the city are no longer barking. There are nursery rhymes on the street, 'Toads are lazy, the world is against'..."

    "I heard that in the last years of the emperor..."

      taste?"

    The sad smile said: "But, it's time to eat some food. We disturbed Hachiro today, and next month, when a certain person comes back from Bianzhou, he will still be seated here. Squinting his eyes again, he smiled at Shen Shaoguang: "Little lady cooked a good meal."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and thanked him.

    These people really ordered a bowl of Eight Treasures Rice, their tongues drank, and they could not eat anything, so they staggered and left the table.

    Shen Shaoguang stood at the door and smiled and sent them away, and when he came back, he heard Yang Jing say: "The saint is ordered by the sky, what does he have to do with the toad? It's totally unreasonable! If you hadn't stopped me, I would definitely have They have a clear theory."

    Shao Jie said: "What theories do you have with those drunkards? Even if the theory wins, they should say this or this, not everyone has knowledge and brains."

    Shen Shaoguang laughed "sneeringly", this Shao Langjun satirized people too hard.

    Seeing Shen Shaoguang smiling, Shao Jie said sternly: "I heard that the weather is worse than this in the first year of the Kaiyuan year. The fertile fields are dry and the ground is cracked, but how? As usual, there will be a peaceful and prosperous age." It is difficult for this Langjun, who is not very fond of reading, to bring out the historical facts.

    Shen Shaoguang nodded and said his speculation: "I'm afraid there is a behind-the-scenes pusher behind this rumor. You think about the collection of books in the belly of the fish, and the sound of the bonfire and the fox. This kind of thing is endless in history..." Shen Shaoguang is not afraid to speculate on the rumor maker with the greatest malice.

    Yang Jing and Shao Jie both changed their expressions. After thinking for a while, Yang Jing stood up and gave Shen Shaoguang a solemn bow: "Little lady sees a little knowledge of the book, and I can't wait for it. A certain report tells Li Xianggong, Look into this carefully."

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly avoided, and returned politely.

    There is such a thing, the two of them stopped drinking tea, they checked out and left, and Shen Shaoguang sent them out.

    Standing at the door, Shao Jie smiled at Shen Shaoguang: "I haven't thanked the little lady yet, I have taught myself how to sell flower cakes by the little lady, and the business of our store has improved a lot. There has never been such an achievement in the past, so there is a lot of resemblance between the grandfather, the uncles, and the brothers."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and rejoiced, and said with a serious face: "This is mainly due to Lang Jun's good eyesight, 'Thousands of horses often exist, but Bole does not often have them'."

    Shao Jie laughed, never seen such a hearty and narrow lady, "It is very, very very."

    Yang Jing, who was full of worries about the country and the people, also made them laugh.

    Lin Yan left the office, and discussed with Bai Fu Yin and Zhao Canjun, who was in charge of public opinion. He returned by car and walked to the door of Shenji. He habitually looked this way and glanced at Then she saw the little lady Shen grinning and smiling happily, and the two next to him were the Lang Jun from the East City Flower Cake Shop whom he had seen that day, and he was also laughing.

    Lin Yan frowned slightly and smiled, what did they say so happy?
