Chapter 480 King Zhongshun sends him to the restaurant
Jia Lian sent Qiao Changshi from Zhongshun Prince's Mansion out. Before he reached the gate, Qiao Changshi stopped him again and again, bowed repeatedly, and refused to let Jia Lian go forward.
After Chang Shi left, Jia Lian returned to the hall and collected the title deed of "Jixian Building", already having another idea in mind.
So without changing his clothes, he called Xing'er and together they left the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.
.
Jia Lian is going to find the shopkeeper of Chun Changchun of "Dongfeng Tower".
During the six months when Jia Lian went to Yangzhou and Suzhou, the "Dongfeng Tower" was plotted by others. On one side, Ni Er led a group of rogues to cause trouble every day, causing the Dongfeng Tower to lose business. On the other side, there was the "Jixian Tower"
The shopkeeper Yu Youde took the opportunity to run on each other, with the aim of swallowing up the entire Dongfeng Tower.
If shopkeeper Chun hadn't been struggling to survive at all costs, even selling out all the land in his hometown, and finally supporting Jia Lian when he came back, I'm afraid that the current "Dongfeng Tower" would have been replaced by Yu You, the shopkeeper of "Jixian Tower"
Virtue has been tricked into your hands.
Look at people through their experiences, and know their hearts when they are in trouble.
After this incident, Jia Lian saw that Chun Changshou was a reliable person, and at the same time he also saw that Yu Youde was someone who should be dealt with.
He thought that because he had Prince Zhongshun's palace on his back, he dared to use despicable means to defeat my idea of "Dongfeng Tower", so I had to let him lose all his money!
Don't let him know how powerful I am, I'm afraid this kind of person will plot behind my back in the future.
Now that "the tide has turned", when it's time to take it out on Yu Youde and slap him in the face, Jia Lian of course has to ask Shopkeeper Chun to appreciate it with him.
As the saying goes:
"Which one is happier, being alone or having fun with others?"
"It's not as good as being with others."
.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the number of pedestrians on the street had become sparse, but the Dongfeng Tower was still brightly lit.
Before Jia Lian could reach the door, he smelled the spicy and delicious smell of boiled fish.
Jia Lian couldn't help but wonder:
Zhou Datou, the red-faced chef of Dongfeng Tower, is a master of Shandong cuisine passed down from his family. Although he is good at cooking, he has the problem of being arrogant and stubborn. He has always valued his Shandong cuisine more than anything.
Gao, he was very disdainful of the boiled fish Jia Lian cooked last time. Why did he suddenly change his temperament and become willing to cook such spicy and heavy Sichuan cuisine?
At this time, three well-fed diners happened to come out of Dongfeng Tower, all with happy and satisfied expressions on their faces.
One of the short fat guys burped and said with a smile:
"If Lao Qian hadn't queued up in advance to get a seat today, we wouldn't have been able to eat such good fish. It's such a delicacy on earth!"
Another tall man also patted his belly:
"It's worth queuing up. The Sui Pearl Fish is really well-deserved! It's a treasure! It's a treasure!"
The third person was an elegant scholar. He banged his fan on his hand, shook his head and said:
""Mozi" says: 'The jade of the He family, the pearl of the Sui lords, are also the good treasures of these princes.'
The name of this fish is Sui Pearl Fish, which is indeed very surprising."
.
Jia Lian, who passed by them, suspected that he had heard wrongly, so he couldn't help but ask:
"What fish?"
In the dim light on the street, the short fat man did not see Jia Lian's face clearly, but he was in a good mood after having had enough food and wine. When someone asked, he chuckled and said:
"Sui Pearl Fish, Sui Pearl of Sui Marquis' Pearl.
Dongfeng Tower is the only place in Beijing that has this dish. I’ll want to try it again next time.”
"Why is this name so weird?"
Jia Lian seemed very ignorant after hearing what he said, and the short fat man couldn't help but show off:
"This fish is not only delicious in itself, but there is also a meatball in the belly. Hey, it's spicy on the outside and delicious on the inside, so it's called 'Sui Pearl Fish'."
.
As soon as Jia Lian walked to the door of the store, Gao Er saw him and immediately recognized Jia Lian, rushed over and said loudly:
"Second Master Lian is here!"
Before he finished speaking, the little guy "Liu Li Qiu'er" ran out:
"Oh, Second Master Lian, the shopkeeper was thinking of you just now, but now you are here! The shopkeeper must be very happy!"
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"I just heard people complimenting you on the delicious fish on the road. I'm really surprised that Zhou Da Nao is willing to cook such a spicy dish."
"Liu Li Qiu'er" stuck out his tongue and whispered:
"His stubborn head refuses to do it.
Although Mr. Lian taught those gangsters a lesson half a month ago, and although no one comes to cause trouble anymore, we have also lost a lot of customers in Dongfeng Tower.
The shopkeeper's illness has not yet healed, so he keeps an eye on the shop every day, but the business has not improved.
Someone just happened to come and ask, saying that they smelled a fragrance coming from our Dongfeng Restaurant one night and wondered what kind of food it was. So I told the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper also advised Luo Datou to do what the second master did last time.
You can make your business better just by saying that you can't.
But Luo Datou refused, because he couldn’t even serve spicy dishes.
It was later that the business did not improve and the shopkeeper was about to fall ill again, so Luo Datou finally gave in.
He didn't do it himself, but taught his nephew Luo Xiaotu the same method as last time.
As a result, as soon as I started doing it, all the customers came because they smelled the smell, and the business suddenly improved.
Luo Xiaotu was so busy that he was on his back, and Luo Datou felt that he had been left out again. He was afraid that others would ask him to help his nephew, so he came up with a way to make Sixi meatballs and put them in the belly of the fish.
He has been muttering all day today, saying that he, a person who makes high-quality banquets, is being screwed when he makes dishes that do not pay attention to the original flavor and fragrance of the ingredients."
Jia Lian smiled:
"I won't go in. You go and ask Shopkeeper Chun to come out. I have something to do with him."
"Liu Li Qiu'er" was very smart. He agreed and immediately helped out Shopkeeper Chun.
.
Although Shopkeeper Chun's face was full of smiles, he couldn't hide the tired look on his face.
As soon as he saw Jia Lian, he immediately said:
"What do you want from me, Second Master?"
Jia Lian smiled and asked:
"Business looks good?"
Shopkeeper Chun’s smile was a little bitter:
"I've only gotten better in the past two days. I had always suffered losses before.
But don’t worry, Second Master, our ‘Sui Zhuyu’ has gradually become famous, and things will get better in the future.”
"Where's Luo Big Head?"
Jia Lian's words made Shopkeeper Chun frown instantly.
After thinking about it, he asked Jia Lian aside and whispered:
"To be honest with you, this is exactly what worries me.
Luo Datou's craftsmanship is nothing to say, it is first-class. If he gets angry and gets away, it will be a loss for our Dongfeng Tower.
But Dongfeng Tower has been struggling for half a year, the old ones are old, the broken ones are broken, and the patrons who can afford to pay for high-end and fancy banquets are no longer coming.
Although the "Sui Pearl Fish" we are making now attracts customers, the taste is too strong after all. After eating this dish, my tongue is numb, and the rest of the dishes are in vain, no matter how delicious they are.
I'm worried about this matter right now. I haven't figured out what to do yet. I will definitely discuss it with the second master after I think about it."
