Although Ying Geer and Gu Qingxi didn't think he would succeed, seeing how positive and enthusiastic he was, they didn't dare to dampen his enthusiasm. But after a few days of busy work, Zhang Xiaowu finally discovered that he had invented the stinky tofu, and instead made
I ordered a sour plum soup drink. After drinking it, the two of them said it was delicious, but the sugar was too expensive...
"Let's just make fried tofu cubes." Zhang Xiaowu was helpless because of his lack of cooking talent, and the two of them nodded in unison.
A few days later, Ji Xianghai reported the good news to Zhang Xiaowu, saying that Guo Bin, a local snake, helped him extort a one-month lease from a raw food store owner. It turned out that this raw food store owner, including his whole family, came to Lucheng from overseas, but only reported one person's salary.
Guo Bin took the opportunity to threaten Shengfan and his family with the ID card.
Ten days later, Mang Zhong, the housekeeper of the Hejian Palace, came to Lucheng as scheduled and started her gourmet journey.
The guys in the "Fried Golden Point" snack bar are working in full swing. The new store opens in the afternoon. Many people come to the new store to join in the fun and take a bite to taste the food.
Zhang Xiaowu used a later advertising trick: new store discounts. Two flags were hung at the door. One side said: "Big opening discount, buy one get one free today", and the other side said: "Thousands of copies sold per day, until sold out."
.
Suddenly, this advertisement that transcended time and space attracted people from half the street. People couldn't resist the high quality, low price and limited sale of fried tofu. After all, humans can't resist the temptation of fat, and because there was a long queue, people
Word of mouth has spread and people are even more enthusiastic about it.
The bait is spread out and just waiting for the big fish to take the bait.
In the evening, Mang Zhong, the steward of Hejian Palace, came to the food court and was immediately attracted by the long queue. After asking, he learned that it was a newly opened fried tofu shop. He asked curiously: "Can tofu be fried? Deep fried... this
Tofu is expensive, isn’t it? How does it taste?”
"I'll ask them to give you a portion," the servant said.
"No, let's go over and eat something fresh. Only fresh ingredients are the most delicious." As the housekeeper of Hejian Prince's Palace, Manzhong naturally did not need to queue up. People gathered around her and went directly to the door of "Fried Golden Point". Zhang Xiaowu took a look.
It can be seen that this is Mang Zhong, but three years ago she was only about 120 kilograms, just slightly fat, but now Mang Zhong has weighed 200 kilograms, which is really obese.
"Go and receive the guests, be smart." Zhang Xiaowu told Brother Ying Ying, "And inform everyone that the distinguished guests have arrived, and the shop will be closed to welcome the distinguished guests."
"good."
Ying Geer then asked the waiter to hang the word "Sold Out" on the door of the fried gold dot shop. The diners in the distance could only lament when they saw it, but the people in the queue started shouting, and the servants and guards of Hejian Prince's Palace could be seen.
They could only shake their heads and leave.
After all, fried tofu is delicious, but there are too many delicacies in the food street. If you can’t eat fried tofu, you can eat other things. At this time, many stores saw this simple and crude method, and immediately started planning in their hearts. We can make it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
this business.
"How can you wait outside the door for distinguished guests when they come into the hall?" Ying Geer walked forward with a hunched smile and said.
"Isn't it sold out?"
"That's for outsiders. How can it be sold out for distinguished guests? We are just worried that they will disturb you."
"He's a smart guy." With a smile on his chubby face, Manzhong sat on a large chair. The chair seemed to be tailor-made for her, and the chair was covered with soft cushions, which made her feel extra special.
It was very comfortable. She was indeed a little tired from walking, and her feet were sore and sore. The store carefully brought a cup of cold sour plum soup. She took a sip and asked in surprise: "How can it be so delicious, sour and sweet?"
"
Ying Geer said: "The sour plums in this sour plum soup are from our hometown in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sugar is from the Western Regions. As for the coldness, the sour plum soup is sealed and placed under the water at the beach for an afternoon, so it is still cold when you take it out."
"
Manzhong praised it: "If you are serious, please light up the fried gold."
"Okay."
Soon, the guys fried the fried tofu, and then a big man brought it to him. Mang Zhong only had food in his eyes and was not interested in who brought the food. He took his chopsticks and started to eat.
When the waiter Zhang Xiaowu saw this, he could only whisper: "I told you not to eat so much, sooner or later you will turn into a fat girl, but you didn't listen." After saying this, he slowly turned around and prepared to leave.
Except for the ladies in the palace, no one dared to say that about Mang Zhong. She immediately became angry, but then she raised her head in shock and looked at Zhang Xiaowu's back speechlessly. Her men were unhappy and shouted: "Hey
Stop, who are you? You dare to speak like this to our palace steward, you are impatient, aren't you?"
Mang Zhong said: "Shut up!" The servant hurriedly shut up, wondering why he had offended the housekeeper. Mang Zhong felt more and more that the figure on the back was very familiar. After all, she had been removing Zhang Xiaowu's armor and donning cloaks for so many years.
robe, yes
His back was the most familiar. It would be fine if others couldn't recognize him. But she had been with him day and night since she was a child. How could Manzhong not be able to resist his background? But she still said hesitantly: "Here is the waiter, stop and turn around."
come over."
Zhang Xiaowu slowly turned around, looked into Mang Zhong's bright eyes, smiled softly and said, "Girl, long time no see. Come to the back hall and don't bring anyone here."
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at Zhang Xiaowu's back in disbelief. She couldn't even move her steps, and her whole body was trembling. Why did this back look so like the master, how did his voice sound so like the master, and how did his figure look so like the master.
Did you see a ghost? Or is the master alive? But the master is alive
Why not go to the palace? A series of questions appeared in her mind, but she quickly restrained her excitement and stood up pretending to be calm. As soon as she stepped out, she thought of something and immediately gave instructions to the others:
"You all stand here and wait. I am going to ask for the secret recipe. You are not allowed to come in without my order."
Others did not doubt that their housekeeper liked to ask people for their food secret recipes. However, she did not open a store. Secondly, because she had a distinguished status, most store owners would tell them honestly. But the maid muttered: "It's just oil."
Fried tofu cubes, what’s the secret?”
Ying Geer smiled and said: "Young lady, you can't say that. Although it's just a simple fried tofu, we put a lot of thought into it in order to be different from other fried tofu. Otherwise, we'd give it to you.
How about you come and have a taste? Your butler will be asking for advice for a while. How about you try it too?"
The maid was obviously excited, but after looking around, Brother Ying understood and told the waiter: "Come and get 20 cents worth of fried gold points, one for everyone, no money, no money, the main thing is to give everyone a taste. If
Even the palace likes it, won’t our reputation be built on it?”
