So another day passed, and two large pots of steaming braised food were ready. However, Shen Lie still underestimated the charm of braised food.
One hundred bowls are still not enough to sell.
As soon as it was time for dinner, once again, the stall he set up at the entrance of the alley had three floors inside and three floors outside. It was crowded with people, and it was crowded for a while.
There were so many diners who came to taste this wonderful delicacy, and they spread the word from one to another. More and more diners came here, and eventually the whole street was blocked.
Seeing the sea of people in front of him, Shen Lie, the chef, was really a little panicked. While wiping his sweat, he decided to withdraw his troops and not dare to go to the alley to set up a stall tomorrow.
Shen Lie felt that from tomorrow on, he should just wait in the store for diners to come to his door. If the traffic jam continues like this, it will cause traffic paralysis.
Where is Chaoyangmen? It is the transportation chokepoint for entering and exiting the capital. If this continues...
Shen Lie felt that it was time for the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to come and arrest people. By then, he would not be able to escape the charge of disturbing public order in the capital.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"
"lean back!"
Shen Lie, who was sweating profusely in the chaos, was in a hurry again. His two hands were no longer enough. At this moment, he wished he could transform into an octopus.
Business is really booming!
So another day passed.
At noon.
Shen Lie decisively moved the stall at the entrance of the alley. Later, in the back kitchen of Bianyifang, Shen Lie asked people to set up four large pots to cook together. The kitchen was filled with pots and pans.
Busy and busy.
At this time, the five people in the small shop were no longer enough, so Shen Lie had to recruit a few more clever women from his old neighbors.
He also personally checked the ingredients, went to pig farmers outside the city to buy pig meat, and tried his best to increase the output of braised pork to 200 bowls per day, which was already the limit of the small shop.
Soon it was noon.
Shen Lie took Yun'er and the boy stood outside the shop, tilting his head and stretching his neck to look in the direction of the alley. The first batch of diners were walking quickly.
It was still the government officials from the Criminal Department who came the fastest. Originally, there were only three people who came to eat every day, but today... more than a dozen government officials came rushing over as fast as flying.
The government officials walked, looked around, and searched...
"Is this here?"
"Can't be wrong!"
This scene is almost ready to catch the important criminal!
Shen Lie secretly wiped his sweat again and murmured in his heart that in a few days, all the officials from the Criminal Department would come!
As the boy put the towel on his shoulders, he shouted.
"Several guests... please come in!"
After that, the store became busy again.
One afternoon, Shen Lie was busy with his feet on the floor, stirring a large spoon, and looking out the window of the back kitchen. The scene outside was really spectacular.
Not to mention that the 30-square-meter shop was crowded with people, and even the quiet cul-de-sac outside the window was full of people.
Looking around, there are squatting, sitting and standing diners in the alley, holding braised pork in their left hands and flaming in their right hands, all devouring it.
On the other side, there was a long queue of diners who came here. The long queue stretched from the front of the small store in Biianfang to the entrance of the alley.
This scene made Shen Lie wipe his sweat and scream in his heart that he was lucky. Fortunately, this was a remote dead end. Otherwise...
I have to fight with my neighbors!
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
At noon.
In the busy kitchen, Shen Lie gradually became accustomed to such busyness. With a large spoon in one hand and an enamel bowl in the other, he cooked the hot braised food...
Let's go!
At this time, shouts came from outside the shop, outside the shop, and on the street from time to time: "Waiter, add a piece of old tofu and a piece of pig lungs."
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze... get on the pole and reincarnate!"
Amidst the commotion, Shen Lie wiped his sweat while enjoying the comfort in his heart. He was a little tired, but fortunately he was only busy for a while every day.
The small shop he worked so hard to run has achieved unprecedented success, which is exactly what he said. He is tired and happy at the same time.
Willow Street, Jinyi Health Center.
At noon.
After scattering.
In February, the sun is shining brightly and the weather has become much warmer.
Naturally, the guards did not care about lunch, so the lieutenants walked out of the yamen in twos and threes and went into the small restaurant across the street.
This is an establishment, and only the captains who eat the imperial rations can afford to eat in restaurants. A large number of helpers without establishments can only buy two steamed buns or a pancake and squat on the street to deal with it.
It's like this every day, every year.
In the official hall, Baihu Tianhong and several of his confidants, the flag officer, were discussing the matter of going to a restaurant for lunch.
As the actual controller of this area of Willow Street, Tian Baihu naturally has no worries about food and drink, and will not treat these confidants badly.
Tian Hong went through several restaurants he often visited in his mind, and said casually: "Let's eat...roast goose. Fumantang's roast goose is good."
Several confidants hurriedly agreed and followed the boss to stand up. They were about to get up and leave when there was a knock on the door outside.
Tian Hong heard the knock on the door and responded lazily: "Come in."
As the door of the official hall opened, a captain walked in from the outside. He turned around and closed the door, and then saluted Tian Hong and several generals.
"grown ups."
Tian Hong responded: "Well, what's the matter?"
A flattering smile appeared on the captain's face, and he said mysteriously: "Interesting thing, something interesting happened over at Chaoyang Gate."
Tian Hong didn't take it to heart, so he lazily said: "Tell me."
The captain stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words in Tian Hong's ear, with a hint of a meaningful smile appearing on his sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked face.
Not long after.
Tian Hong was a little surprised and said: "Oh...is there such a thing?"
The captain smiled and said: "It's absolutely true."
Tian Hong was very interested, so he slowly stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his brocade clothes, and said with a smile: "Let's go and take a look."
After a while.
The alley entrance on the Chaoyangmen side.
Tian Hong, with a few of his confidants General Banner and several captains holding hands behind their backs, looked at the long queue in the alley opposite and couldn't help but start talking.
"Ouch!"
"Are you attending the temple fair?"
"Such a grand occasion is really rare."
Amidst the discussions among the Jinyi guards, Tian Hong's eyes flashed with strange light, and he asked curiously: "Then Shen Lie's shop is in this alley?"
The captain who came to report the news said hurriedly: "What I said to you, sir, is absolutely true!"
Tian Hong was slightly startled, and then asked: "So many people gather here just to have a bite of that... braised and roasted food?"
The captain said hurriedly: "Yes."
Tian Hong stood and watched for a while, then smiled and said: "It's interesting. This kid, hey, is quite smart."
All around, several general banners quickly echoed: "Haha."
"That's what my lord said."
Tian Hong stood and watched for a while. He couldn't help but be curious, so he smiled and said, "Let's go and join in the fun."
Several general bannermen burst into laughter again and followed the hundred households, crossing the long street and walking towards the alley where the cheap shop is located.
Jinyiwei is here.
The diners who were queuing up were startled and hurriedly ducked to both sides to make way for this group of ferocious Emperor's eagle dogs.
So Tian Hong walked leisurely and led four or five people through the deep alley and arrived in front of the Bianyifang store.
Tian Hong looked up and praised repeatedly: "Not bad, it's really good."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the crowded store. The place he passed seemed to be in a deserted place. Who dares to mess with Jin Yiwei...
