Chapter 160: Braised pork is on the shelves and the whereabouts of the fabric is found
Author: Yiyizhou
Tang Zangyue extracted homemade essential oil from flowers and plants, and combined it with her massage techniques. On the second day, Aunt Liu not only did not have any backache or heavy body, but was very light. Coupled with the excitement, she was full of energy.
The flow of customers in the restaurant slowly slowed down, and at night, Xiao Sanlang came back with the news.
Tang Zangyue's expression remained unchanged and she said: "There have been more and more beggars at the border recently, right?"
Xiao Sanlang was at a loss for a moment, apparently not understanding how the topic changed from investigating people buying fabrics to talking about beggars at the border.
Xiao Zhongli just thought for a moment and said, "Grandma means that we can't get the information about the last buyer from the cloth shop. Maybe we can get it from these beggars?"
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Go and wake up Fifteen."
Fifteen slept sweetly.
As a dead soldier, he had to be vigilant for twelve hours to prevent any flaws from being exposed and to prevent the master's family from being endangered.
But as an ordinary person with some skills, I can sleep soundly and even say a few words in my dream that the soy pork elbow is delicious. As for helping out in restaurants and raising some money, it's all a piece of cake...
…
The old lady also asked him to take a medicinal bath.
Fifteen had a special status and slept in the women's bedroom. Due to the differences between men and women, Tang Zangyue bluntly said that the kang was not long enough, so Fifteen slept on a folding bed that night.
Except for the two lumps on his chest which are a bit troublesome when sleeping and the pressure on his heart, Fifteen feels that his life is very good and he is very happy now.
Suddenly being slapped twice in the face, Fifteen Fan stared so hard that his eyes couldn't focus for a long time.
It was Xiao Zhongli who picked him up by the collar and dragged him to the main room, in front of Tang Zangyue, who only regained consciousness at fifteen.
"Old, old lady?"
Tang Zangyue: "There is no need to go to the restaurant tomorrow."
"If you don't go to a restaurant...then where are you going?"
"Didn't you have a good time among the beggars in the county for a while? I want you to go and find out..."
…
Shi Fifteen was a fool, but Tang Zangyue was far-sighted, listed all the possibilities, and thought of all possible ways to deal with Shi Fifteen, before telling him how to use natural words.
Unexpectedly, Tang Zangyue played the role of a beggar himself, and Fifteen acted as a tester, rehearsing for several days.
Finally, Fifteen went to the county with a dark circle under his eyes.
Xiao Sanlang couldn't help laughing, but he still couldn't help but tell him, "Do you know how to speak?"
"You're so verbose, Third Brother..." Fifteen didn't hide anything, but couldn't help but tremble on his shoulders, "Old Madam has pressed my head so many times to act, how could I make a mistake? Don't worry."
Xiao Sanlang listened to Shi Fifteen's accent and looked at the other person's popular face, but finally said nothing.
He also had a task. If Shi Shi almost revealed his secret or said something wrong, the old lady asked him to throw a stone in time to remind him.
Then……
afterwards.
Fifteen rubbed his thighs and joined Xiao Sanlang on the tree, then lifted up his trouser legs to show him.
He said in disbelief: "Third brother! You are so cruel!"
Xiao Sanlang didn't even blink, "If you don't act more harshly, how would you know that you said the wrong thing? Let's go back and recover."
At this point, Tang Zangyue got the information about the person who destroyed Yuan Laner.
Mao family.
She grabbed the surname, checked it again, and found out that she was really a relative of the old beast Mao Yuanwai.
Mao Jun has been feeling very unhappy recently.
My distant uncle Mao Yuanwai passed away, and he, the only descendant who was closest to him, inherited Mao Yuanwai's family property.
You know this... Mao Yuanwai should die as soon as possible.
He has been spending money at Huan Yu Pavilion recently in order to spend a night with Miss Haitang.
He didn't want to spend money, but he had no choice. He couldn't offend Huan Yu Pavilion, and there were other landlords and gentry who were praising Miss Haitang. Mama Sang secretly told him that when the story of Butterfly Lovers unfolds, Miss Haitang's worth will only increase.
Gao, it will be more difficult to have a kiss by then. If you can win Miss Haitang now, you will be able to show off your capital in the future.
Mao Jun knew that there was a deep pit inside, but his desire to compare made him fall into it step by step.
Tang Zangyue found out that Mao Jun was frequently walking around the Huanyuge Pavilion, and it happened that Liu's restaurant was quiet. After she asked the family's long-term worker to place a special large iron bucket outside the shop, she told her family and took Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Sanlang with her.
Went to the county.
When it comes to Liu's Restaurant, what makes customers talk about it is not only the taste, but also the presentation.
The walls were painted with Tang Zangyue's special white liquid. Although it is not comparable to the very flat white walls of later generations, the main purpose was to make the white background easier to paint on.
She asked her eldest brother in the family to draw a sketch on rice paper before starting to paint on the wall.
White juice is not like the slaked lime used to paint white walls in later generations, which is harmful to the body just after decoration. On the contrary, this kind of juice extracted from plants has no waiting period and people can move in directly the next day. It is just easy to evaporate and needs to be repaired every once in a while.
.
The contents of the paintings are crops and each hot ingredient, which is breathtaking. So when customers order dishes, they don’t need introductions from Mei Niang and others. They know what they want to eat just by looking at the paintings on the wall.
Young ladies like Mei Niang and Zhang Xia were in charge of serving food in the front hall, Wang Xiaoliu and others were in charge of serving dishes, and finally Xiao Yuenong was there to keep accounts. Xiao Yuechun had a bad memory and was responsible for the security of the whole place.
Whoever dares to cause trouble should be punished with the men in the restaurant.
Of course, there were very few disturbances. Restaurants even entertained customers who only ordered staple food but no dishes, because there was no room in the front hall and many people set up tables and chairs outside. If a customer only bought staple food, Tang Zangyue would advise the guest.
Take a container that can be used to hold it and go back to eat. Of course, if you don't go back to eat, it's fine if you want to settle down in the restaurant, but you have to accept a strange look.
You occupy a table among a crowd of diners and slowly eat only steamed buns. What do the people in the queue behind you think?
Just some well-educated diners. If they are aggrieved, they will say angrily in front of Tang Zangyue: "Doctor Tang, you are really following the rules. What can I say? I don't make money with discounts. Why don't you give me back?"
What do the other customers in line think when we share a table with customers who only order staple food?”
Tang Zangyue: "Those who come are guests." You can leave if you don't want to eat. Anyway, the discount is only for a few days. Now these diners are here to take advantage, and there is no need for her to keep a few of them for promotion.
Those who are thin-skinned and only order the staple food will naturally finish eating early and leave.
When the customer flow slows down, braised food starts to be sold at the doorstep.
The big iron bucket was made by Tang Zangyue at a blacksmith shop. It has a large capacity and several holes were made on the side to make it easier to buckle on the wooden table. The wooden table was also made by Jin Carpenter, and the principle is similar to the hot pot table made years ago.
, except that it is not a round table, but a rectangular table, and there are holes on the hollow edges. The iron bucket is placed on the wooden table, and the holes on both sides match up. Then use screws to reinforce it to stabilize it.
Iron buckets are used for stewing.
The price of braised noodles is lower than that at Liu's stall. It's just noodles, and it's served cold. Customers need to go home and heat it up, and it's all packaged.
Relying on these braised dishes, Liu's restaurant attracted another wave of customer traffic.
