The escort leader was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses after a long time. He put down a couple of coins, patted him heavily on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, I really have you. You should make another pot, my escorts."
I live a life of licking blood from the knife tip every day, and eat a lot of food. I will finish the noodles later, but the other waiters and coachmen haven't eaten yet."
At this time, Zhao Kui realized that he just praised his noodles for being delicious, not scolded him. He quickly took the money and went to make noodles again happily. The headguard and the bodyguards did not care about the hot noodles and snored.
As he drank, he praised loudly: "Fuck grandma, this thief shopkeeper makes better noodles than my mother. I won't be named Qian if I don't have three big bowls today."
It turns out that such curse words are actually compliments. Zhao Wei felt funny while listening, which was a great experience.
The second pot of noodles was ready. It was time to change the shift. I asked the waiters outside to come in and eat. Several of the escorts took bowls and filled them with another bowl. They drank quietly. After drinking, they clapped their lips and said to the escort head: "
I'll let them come in to eat noodles. Don't finish them all. Leave some for me. I'm only half full."
"You're a glutton." The escort scolded him, and he couldn't help but fill up half the bowl. After a while, the waiters and the coachmen changed their posts and came in. After smelling the aroma, they picked up the bowls one by one and filled up half the bag.
While I was smoking, the bottom of a large pot of noodles reached the bottom again. I licked the noodle bowl again and again with my hands, and it was even cleaner than the one I had just washed. This noodles couldn't be so delicious, it might be poisonous. The escort was very alert.
, I took out the silver needle and tried it once, and tried my luck again, but nothing was abnormal. Just to be on the safe side, I called the clerk in and asked him about the details of the shopkeeper, but the clerk couldn't answer even a single sentence.
"I heard that there is a kind of poison in Miao territory. It is colorless and odorless. Could it be that we have been poisoned by such a poison?" A waiter said with a trembling voice. As soon as he said this, he took a look at the pot again.
: "Anyway, you are already poisoned. If you eat less than one bowl, you will die. If you eat more than one bowl, you will die. It doesn't matter, just be a starved person."
After saying that, he went to the pot and filled a large bowl of noodles and started eating. Everyone had the same idea, but no one listened to the words of the escort. When he thought, if it was poisonous, everyone would die, and he couldn't live alone.
It was so delicious that he didn't care and ordered another bowl.
The second pot of noodles was finished again, and the waiter's eyes were shining. Obviously, everyone wanted another bowl. The head guard shouted: "Shopkeeper, give me another big pot."
Ten people ate two large pots, which was an amazing amount of food. Zhao Hui was making noodles and jokingly said: "Eat so much, you won't be afraid of stuffing yourself to death."
When the escort heard this, he rushed over with a whoosh, held a knife to him and said, "Is there really poison in the noodles?"
Zhao Kui was trembling with fear and said, "What kind of poison? I'm just a restaurant owner, and you guys broke in before it even opened. We didn't trick you into coming in."
Seeing how timid he was, the head guard let go of his hand. Soon, everyone had finished the third pot of noodles, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep contentedly.
The destination of the escort's trip was Pantan. Early the next morning, the escort found the customer, completed the delivery of the goods, and returned to the restaurant around noon. Zhao Kui came out and said: "Our restaurant is still being renovated and is not open for business.
I hope you will show your respect and choose another place to dine."
"We just want to eat the noodles made by the shopkeeper again." The escort slapped the two taels of silver on the table and said, "The goods have just been delivered, and we are not short of money."
As soon as I finished saying this, a burning smell came into my nose, which was extremely pleasant. Apparently, it was the aroma of some kind of food. I hurriedly asked, "What good things are being baked? Can you give us a taste?"
There's nothing good about it. It's just that every household will make a few baskets of dried steamed buns during the Chinese New Year. It's hot now, the food is easy to spoil, and the guy who cooks doesn't have enough space to put it, and the construction schedule is tight, so Zhao Guo baked it.
How many ovens were used as lunch for the carpenters who were renovating? When the head guard asked about it, he took out a piece from the baking tray and handed it to his hand. The head guard took it and put it in his mouth and tasted it. It was crispy and crispy.
A faint burnt aroma hits the olfactory nerves, making my mouth feel full of aroma.
This stuff is so good that it can be used as solid food for our bodyguards. As soon as it tasted, the headguard immediately thought of it and said to him: "How much does it cost per catty? Give us two thousand catties per month, and these ten
The two taels of silver are the first month's deposit, and those who are baking will be given to us first."
After that, without waiting for his refusal, he slapped the money on the table and put them all on the table, saying: "Let's go to Chunhuayuan to have fun for a while, and eat noodles at your place in the evening. Remember, it will be exactly the same as yesterday."
Alas, these escorts are so tyrannical in their behavior. He shook his head helplessly and ordered the money man to buy another hundred kilograms of flour.
Steamed buns are a specialty of Xianju. The method is to ferment flour and water, then add brown sugar and knead the dough repeatedly, kneading it into a long strip as thick as an arm. After rising for the second time, steam it in a steamer, and then cut it into pieces.
One-inch thick slices are placed in a dark fire to slowly dry out the water. The process seems simple, but it tests one's basic skills. This is one of the must-have foods for Xianju people during the Chinese New Year, and every year is close to the Spring Festival.
, the whole family did it together. So, Zhao Gui has old experience with it.
"Poppy, Steamed Buns and Dried Pine"
When is the best time to ferment flour?
Look carefully for bubbles.
Knead it with your hands three thousand times,
Cut into thick strips and place into steamer.
The arm that takes out the pot becomes bigger and the legs become thicker,
Just because the yeast changed.
How to keep it long-lasting?
Roast slowly over dark fire for the whole night.
The weather was hot and the dough was rising quickly. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the steamed buns were put on the steamer. A full twenty baskets were piled on the roof. Zhao Hui started to prepare the second basket unhurriedly, not taking the escort's words to heart.
Go up, because Chunhuayuan is a place for fireworks and the excitement is at night, so it would be at least midnight for these escorts to come here to eat noodles.
In the evening, just after turning on the lamp, the escort leader came to the restaurant with more than ten of his men. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Shopkeeper, are the noodles ready? The gentlemen are starving."
The waiter hurriedly stepped forward, offered his seat to them with a smile on his face, and said, "The shopkeeper is supervising the work upstairs. I'll invite him over right now."
It turned out that they went to Chunhuayuan to drink flower wine. After drinking for a while, they felt that the food there was tasteless. It was strange. Every time they rested here and had fun, they always lingered here. They felt that the girls here were beautiful and the food was tasteless.
Exquisite, what happened today? The more they sat, the more uneasy they became. After drinking for a while, they stood up to leave. Although the escorts from the Tianfeng Escort Bureau were a little rude in their words, they had a lot of money and bold and generous personalities. They were the most competitive among the girls in the courtyard.
Naturally, they were reluctant to leave the high-quality customers they had grabbed so early, and kept them there. Just like that, it was delayed until 4:30 in the afternoon. The escorts couldn't help it anymore, and they slapped the table one by one and got angry, and the girls were scared again.
He let go of his hand angrily again.
Zhao Kui came down from upstairs and hurriedly bowed to them and said: "Masters, sit down and drink a cup of tea, and get some freshly steamed steamed buns to pad your stomach. I will prepare them for you right away."
After saying that, he asked the waiter to bring a large basin of dried steamed buns and said to them: "This is a gift from the store, it doesn't count."
