Chang’an Small Restaurant

Chapter 78: Jealousy and candy

    Shao Jie is still very discerning, and he said goodbye quickly after the business was finished. I wonder if it was an illusion, Shao Jie seemed to see a hint of approval from Lin Shaoyin Anxian's face.

    Shen Shaoguang wanted to see him off, Shao Jie quickly resigned politely and went out to beat the horse and leave.

    Shen Shaoguang came back and saw that Lin Shaoyin was still playing cats there.

    Look at the food on the table that didn't move much, Shen Shaoguang was helpless, everyone left, the "props" can be put down, and then have afternoon tea!

    Shen Shaoguang squinted and smirked, "Do you want to add something to Langjun? Should Langjun clean his hands first?"

    Lin Yan nodded with a smile and put down the cat. Ming Nu swept his tail and walked over to Shen Shaoguang to rub her calf.

    Shen Shaoguang hurriedly coaxed it: "good, good, still busy, a while!"

    Lin Yan glanced at her, lowered her head slightly, and wanted to pick up the items on the table, but remembered that she had not cleaned her hands, so she had to retract it again, and put her hands on her lap, looking very dignified and solemn .

    "Langjun wait a moment, I'll bring a basin of water." Shen Shaoguang is quite conscientious and authentic in the service industry. A noble person like Lin Shaoyin had to be served by several people at home and in the yamen to wash their hands. Those who carried the basins, those who took the soap and hand soap, those who took the towels, and even some hand-washing were done by the servants.

    Lin Yan stood up, "I'll go with you."

     

    Lin Yan gave her a deep look, smiled and said "um".

    Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows slightly, laughing, what is wrong?

    The two came to the water tank at the back of the store. Lin Yan slightly bent over and stood in front of the stone sink. Take the bath bean box.

    There are towels for customers in the store, but people like Lin Shaoyin who are very particular, I am afraid that they prefer to use their own towels, and Shen Shaoguang also lacks the link of "towels" .

    Suddenly, Shen Shaoguang understood the meaning of Lin Shaoyin's smile just now, "serving a towel stick" is often used as a cliché for wives and concubines to serve their husbands.

    Shen Shaoguang bit his lip and glared at him, you said that you are the deputy mayor of Chang'an City, can we think more healthy? Think less? Just a matter of fact?

    Lin Yan straightened up, shook his hand slightly, and turned his head. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help laughing.

    After laughing, he said, "Did you hug Mingnu just now? I'll help you rush, too?"

    Shen Shaoguang glanced at him with a half-smile, is he still addicted to molesting people?

    Shen Shaoguang, who was evil, smiled and said, "Then there is Lao Shaoyin."

    Lin Yan just took Shen Shaoguang's way, scooped up water with a water ladle, and poured it on her hand carefully.

     This is a pair of hard working hands. Lin Yan's expression of laughter just now faded.

    Suddenly she remembered what she said when she first went back to deliver porridge to her grandmother, "When I was in Ye Ting, the charcoal fire was not enough, and in the middle of winter, my hands and feet were red, swollen and pus. It's just a crack, and it hurts a bit. I'm most afraid of suddenly approaching the charcoal fire, and it will be very itchy." Lin Yan felt more and more distressed, and really wanted to take her hand and wrap it in his own, rub it, rub it, Ask her if those old wounds are healed...

    Shen Shaoguang silently counted for fifteen seconds according to the standard hand washing method, then turned to look at Lin Yan.

    Lin Yan smiled gently, and scooped a ladle of water for her to rinse.

    Shen Shaoguang played a big game, so he became happy, and asked with a smile: "Today there is sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, would you like Lin Langjun to try it? Bring some back to Mrs. Tai too."

    Lin Yan smiled: "Okay."

    In order to show his magnanimity, Shen Shaoguang casually talked to him about eating scriptures, "The rice used for this osmanthus glutinous rice lotus is this summer's new rice, and the lotus root is also new lotus root, but it's a pity that osmanthus flower was previously I bought last year's stock from the medicine store, and I smelled the smell of Codonopsis Radix Scutellariae. ①Fortunately, the smell of sugar covered it up."

    "This lotus root has nine holes and seven holes. The one with nine holes is white lotus root, which is crispy and sweet, and can be eaten raw. That's what's in the 'Sanxian of Fisherman'; For the red lotus root, it has a lot of noodles and is not crispy, so it is not suitable to eat raw, but it is the most suitable for making this sweet-scented osmanthus root.”

    The two talked while walking back.

    Lin Yan looked at her sideways with a smile, listening to her talk about these things about eating and drinking, there was a sense of peace and tranquility.

    "Stuff the lotus root with glutinous rice, plug the cut lotus root, cook with red dates, caramel, and sweet-scented osmanthus, cook for a while, the lotus root is cooked until fragrant and soft, and the rice is sticky If you are tired, you can take it out, let it cool and slice it, grate the juice from the lotus root before, and when it is thickened, add some candied sweet-scented osmanthus, pour it on the lotus root, it is fragrant and sweet.”

    Lin Yan was teasing her again and nodded, "It's when you should eat more sweets. Even if you shouldn't, you should."

    Shen Shaoguang stopped to look at him, Lin Yan smiled and walked back to his desk.

    Facing Lin Shaoyin, who had let himself go, Shen Shaoguang lost his temper. According to the five internal organs and five elements of health preservation, it should be "sweet in spring, bitter in summer, sour in autumn, and pungent in winter", so the "season" in autumn should be sour. Now, let's eat something sweet, neutralize it!

    Thinking of Lin Shaoyin who was serious and indifferent in the past, Shen Shaoguang sighed faintly, scooped up a spoonful of candied sweet-scented osmanthus juice and poured it all over it, please be kind!

     

    However, Lin Shaoyin didn't say anything "indecent", and only asked about opening a store in partnership with the Shao family.

    Knowing that he was well-intentioned, Shen Shaoguang did not hide it from him.

    Lin Yan nodded: "As a businessman, it is often difficult to have both shrewdness and duty, the Shao family is not bad, and they are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and Shao Langjun is also shrewd and strong, you partner with them, very good it is good."

    Shen Shaoguang smiled and gave such a high evaluation to the "rival in love". It can be seen that the "vinegar" just now was just a joke. Well, this may be regarded as "little vinegar and pleasure"?

    Shao Jie looked at a few places, discussed with Shen Shaoguang, and finally settled on Qinrenfang.

    Qinren Square is a large square, located in the southwest of Dongshi City, and also belongs to a "high-end community". The residence of the Princess Fuhui is located in this square. The mansion of the eldest princess was built on the foundation of the famous garden "Chixia Garden".

    There are many famous flowers in the Chixia Garden, especially the famous peony, chrysanthemum and camellia. This garden was originally the private property of Mrs. Korea during Xuanzong’s time. After the Houtianbao incident, Mrs. Korea died, and the garden was transferred to Zhou Yan, a famous counter-rebellion general. Zhou Yan was a son of the Zhou family in Yingchuan, so he made this a bit gaudy. The garden was well-maintained, but it was a pity that his son was convicted for his words, affecting his father and grandfather, so the garden changed hands again...

    Just like what Lao Bai said in his poem "Haunted House", "The former master was the general, who offended Bayong. , and disasters follow." This garden has a reputation of being "unfavorable to the master", but Princess Fuhui didn't care, so she ordered it down and changed it into a princess mansion.

    When Shen Shaoguang came to the new store to see the progress of the renovation, he even went around the Princess Mansion, and across the courtyard wall, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of the early blooming osmanthus.

    Osmanthus is good, it can make osmanthus sesame candy, osmanthus jujube cake, osmanthus yam cake, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings, can also stew duck, stew chicken, stew pork ribs, not to mention cook various Kinds of sweet porridge and tea drinks.

    Shen Shaoguang looked at the walls of the Princess Mansion with envy. If I can have such a big house, and eat all kinds of flowers one by one, then the "Hundred Flowers Book", which is the same as "Shan Hai Jing", which indicates various flavors, may really be able to be written...

    Yellow Princess Mansion...Shen Shaoguang felt that his heart swelled a little faster as a player who bought a house and landed a millionaire. However, although there is no hope of buying the Princess Mansion in this life, other "haunted houses" are possible.

    There are many such haunted houses in Chang'an City, and there is one in Chongxianfang. Of course, the "Haunted House" in Chongxianfang is not as famous as Chixia Garden, and it is not so big. The owner, who has no children, was murdered by a strongman when he went to Youzhou to do business. The wife asked the monk and Taoist priest to burn and beat at home, but she was still uneasy and moved.

     

    However, even the haunted house is a bit expensive for Shen Shaoguang... Thinking about the other business in Nanshan, the vacation house by the Weishui River, it is really a long way to go.

    Shen Shaoguang turned back to the storefront that was being renovated. This storefront is slightly larger than Shenji’s current place. It faces the main street. It used to be a satin shop. The inside is quite clean. Many, Shen Shaoguang is very satisfied - from the big garden of the Princess Mansion to several small storefronts, just like a greedy ghost who dreams of eating bear's paw and deer tail, and eating steamed buns and pork's head meat is also very happy, Shen Shaoguang is nothing. psychological gap.

    Because it is a branch, the style should be basically the same. It is also the basic configuration of powder walls, log partitions, and blue brick floor carpets. Shen Shaoguang discussed with Shao Jie, and added a long carved screen in the middle. On one side is a traditional low food table, and on the other side is a high table, Hu chairs and couches.

    Nowadays, high tables and chairs are also used in luxury homes, but low furniture is the mainstream. Shen Ji is still a low food table, and because of this, Shen Shaoguang is more aware of the inconvenience - it's too troublesome to have a dinner together!

    Shao Jie high-fives: "That's right! Ji Shaoqing and the others are a big table for their Qujiang banquet. More than ten people sit in groups, how intimate and lively!"

    Shen Shaoguang said again: "We can set up a few large tables that can seat a dozen or twenty people as Langjun said, or add some small tables for three or four people, so that , those who drink alone, those who drink together, and those who dine together are all cheap.”

    Shao Jie said again: "Exactly!"

    Shao Jie is familiar with Chang'an restaurants, "As soon as this high table case came out, it was a pioneering work in Chang'an City. As far as I know, restaurants and restaurants have not done this yet, just I'm afraid some people who eat ancient things will not say."

       

    Shao Jie sees Shen Shaoguang, how can he still think so? However, it seems that...

    Shen Shaoguang became serious again, "Can't Mr. Lang see it? From ancient times to the present, from sitting on the floor, to several tables on the couch, to the high table of the Hu bed, drum stool, from low to high, This is a big trend. Those people, but the man's arm is the ear of the car!"

    Shao Jie holds a fist in his left hand, "I will refute those stubborn people like this in the future!"

    Shen Shaoguang laughed.

    Shen Shaoguang: Is he playing a hooligan again?
