Chapter 10 The Village Girl 5
When he turned around, the shopkeeper was no longer beside him. He took out a pair of chopsticks, and he and Master Fan were already elbow-to-elbow over the plate of squirrel mandarin fish.
The waiters and apprentices with lower status could only swallow their saliva and watch the shopkeeper's beard curl up and up. Looking at Master Fan's eyes of enjoyment, the waiter swallowed louder.
Jiang Chan didn't care about this. When she saw the pork belly and old tofu on the side, she quickly made a braised pork dish and a homemade tofu dish, and finally made a braised shrimp.
The shopkeeper and Master Fan couldn't get enough of it. They ate this and that. Only when they were all satiated did they reluctantly put down their chopsticks.
Cooking is not difficult for Jiang Chan. She also thinks that the shopkeeper is satisfied, so the probability of her being able to work here is quite high.
The shopkeeper's current thought is that Mingyue Tower is really about to turn over. Where did this treasure come from? How could it fall into his hands by accident?
Such a treasure must be kept in their Mingyue Building, no matter what Chunfeng Building Shuyuzhai is. Now it seems that it is better to feed stray dogs. The shopkeeper's thinking has already diverged to the point where he must take more care of those stray dogs in the future.
.
"Master Jiang, your craftsmanship is really like this!" The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up. He is no longer called Xiao Jiang. People with skills are respected everywhere.
"In this case, Master Jiang, let's go outside and discuss it in detail." The shopkeeper didn't want to say anything else now. He insisted on keeping a treasure like Jiang Chan in their Mingyue Tower.
Seeing Jiang Chan and the shopkeeper go out, the waiter and the two apprentices rushed forward with a "ouch" sound. The waiter didn't want to go to the front to entertain the guests. His mouth was full of oil after eating, and the two apprentices next to him were no better.
Where to go.
All this was unknown to Jiang Chan, who followed the shopkeeper to the front office. She had a good impression of the kind old shopkeeper, although he did not lack the shrewdness of a businessman.
Business is business. After arguing with the shopkeeper for a long time, Jiang Chan finally agreed to sell the three dishes of braised shrimp, squirrel mandarin fish and braised pork to Mingyue Lou. As for the homemade tofu, it was treated as a gift.
.
Jiang Chan simply asked the shopkeeper to search everywhere. In the end, Jiang Chan's three dishes were sold for a total of fifteen taels of silver. It was definitely enough for Jiang Miao to go to the exam, but Jiang Chan didn't plan to just do that.
To Jiang Mu and Wang.
How to give them this money is a problem, Jiang Chan has to think about it carefully. If Wang knew that she still had this ability, Jiang Chan was sure that Wang would not be willing to do it until she drained the last drop of blood from her body.
Jiang Chan tapped her fingers on the cabinet while thinking about what she should do. Now she was really in a difficult situation, but fortunately she had money in hand, and the biggest crisis was finally solved.
While she was thinking about it, the shopkeeper had already taken out the fifteen taels of silver and gave it to her. Without saying anything else, Jiang Chan immediately went into the kitchen and handed over all the steps for the four dishes.
Gave it to Master Fan.
The shopkeeper looked at it for a while and saw that Jiang Chan taught her with all her heart and soul, without any cheating or cheating. Then she nodded with satisfaction and went back to the front hall. With these dishes, she was worried that Mingyue Tower would not be full of guests when the time came.
?
Master Fan has also been a master chef for many years. Jiang Chan taught him this twice, and then he tried it on his own and found that the taste was just as good as Jiang Chan's.
The shopkeeper immediately wrote today's dishes on the wooden board outside the restaurant. In addition to the restaurant's original signature dishes, Jiang Chan's four dishes were also listed.
There is always no shortage of rich people in the world, especially since the town is so big. The four dishes offered by Mingyue Tower are all things that no one has heard of. Curiosity is something everyone has.
Not long after, the restaurant was almost full, and now it was time for Master Fan to show off his talents. The restaurant was so lively that the waiters were almost overwhelmed with work, and finally the shopkeeper simply took on the job of greeting the guests.
"This squirrel mandarin fish dish is full of color, flavor and flavor. Especially when the hot oil is poured on it, it feels like there are real squirrels squawking." The scholar in his 10s and 20s shook his head, "Wonderful, wonderful!"
He was definitely not the only one to be praised like this by the scholar. The rest of them didn't care to speak, just lowered their heads and ate deliciously. After eating these dishes from Mingyuelou, everyone felt that those they had eaten before were not called dishes, but that.
Pig food.
Listening to the compliments from the diners, the shopkeeper's beard stood tall as he said that he had done a very good job with the business today. With just one lunch, he had almost recovered the cost.
It's a pity that Jiang Chan can't work here. This is something Jiang Chan proposed herself. After all, she is still in the Jiang family. If she comes to work, the wages she earns will definitely be confiscated by the Wang family.
It would be better to do a one-time deal like now. The shopkeeper sighed regretfully, and when he saw a middle-aged man in his forties outside, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Jiang Juren, it's a coincidence that you are here today. We have launched four new dishes. Why don't you try them?"
Jiang Chan had just finished teaching Master Fan and was standing by the back kitchen door to rest. After hearing the warm words from the shopkeeper, Jiang Chan glanced curiously and saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a very serious face.
.
It's just that this person Jiang Chan always felt a little familiar. After searching carefully in his memory, he remembered that this was the original owner's uncle Jiang Sen.
Speaking of which, Jiang Sen was also a ruthless man. Mr. Jiang had three sons in his life, and Jiang Sen was the eldest. Jiang Sen was a master of civil education, and married his wife, Mrs. Lin. The two of them had a deep relationship.
However, Lin was born with a weak body and it was difficult to have heirs. Until Jiang Sen passed the imperial examination, he never had a son or a daughter. Mrs. Jiang was partial and wanted to marry her niece to Jiang Sen as a concubine, but Jiang Sen flatly refused.
Jiang Sen usually lives in the town and rarely goes back, and the original owner doesn't know much about him. Jiang Chan looked at Jiang Sen several times, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up.
She thought, next she knew what to do.
Jiang Sen sat down at a table by the window and glanced at the lobby with a straight face. The lobby that used to be bustling with people was very quiet today, and the only sounds of people eating could be heard.
Looking again, he saw that they were all dishes he had never seen before. At that moment, the waiter brought a plate of braised pork to a customer in front of Jiang Sen. The aroma was so tempting that Jiang Sen's Adam's apple couldn't help but move.
