"As long as you are obedient, I will not leave you alone. Let alone a wolf, even if a tiger comes, I can beat it into a cat. Haha, don't say that you are even afraid of cats!" Li Qingyun's original intention,
I just want Maomao and Tongtong to obey, and I don’t want Maomao and Tongtong to go back to sleep tonight and have nightmares.
"Liar, no matter how powerful you are, you can't beat a tiger into a cat. The tiger is so big. I've seen it in the zoo, and the cat is so small. Even if you beat the tiger's head to swell, it will make him fatter, not thinner.
!" Maomao regained some courage and began to use his only knowledge to analyze the problem in front of him. Although he didn't believe what Li Qingyun said, his attention had been distracted and he was no longer afraid.
"Well, what Maomao said makes sense. Uncle Yao is bragging, and tigers can't be beaten into cats." Tongtong was convinced by Maomao at this time. The two children have a common language. But she is a girl after all, and if there is any trouble, she will
He would scream in fright, like a hanging insect, hugging Li Qingyun's thigh and not letting go.
"I can't explain it to you two little idiots!" Li Qingyun looked at the sky speechlessly, feeling that he could not communicate with these two naughty children. It is difficult for adults to understand the world of children.
This dark path soon came to an end. When we arrived near the fishing ground, there was the light of street lights, which could dispel the darkness and eliminate the terror. When she saw the signboard of Qingheju, Maomao breathed a sigh of relief.
It is almost eight o'clock now. Although there are still many guests eating, drinking tea and chatting in Qingheju, it is not as popular as during dinner. This allows Li Qinghe, the proprietress of Qingheju, to relax a little. And the brother-in-law
Luo Jiandong is still washing dishes and doing hard work. It seems that he has worked very hard to change his image recently and saved this marriage.
Li Qinghe was behind the cashier and saw Li Qingyun coming back with Maomao and Tongtong. He quickly went to greet him: "Qingyun, there is no need to send the children back in such a hurry. I just called to inquire about the situation."
"Haha, eldest sister, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have let Maomao live in my house for a long time. From now on, I will no longer want you as a mother. And the one in my family is in the period of overflowing maternal love, and she is exactly what she wants."
She used to be a person who cared more about her family, but now that her business is making money, she has suddenly changed from a housewife to a strong woman. This change is too big and unacceptable. Li Qingyun advised, "Sister, I can't talk about you, money."
There is endless money to be made, and the future of the children is even more important. With the business of your store, even if you are the shopkeeper, you can still make endless money, so why bother yourself and your children?"
"Qingyun, eldest sister understands. I haven't saved any money before. I have just started to realize it in the past year or so. I want to work hard for a few years while I am young. When I get older, I will enjoy peace and happiness." After a perfunctory sentence, Li Qinghe suddenly saw the hand in Li Qingyun's hand.
Holding the big bag, she asked: "Qingyun, what is that in your hand?"
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "Sister, this is a good thing. Five-star hotels will supply it in limited quantities. If you have money, you may not be able to eat it every day. It depends on the season."
A trace of curiosity flashed in Li Qinghe's eyes. He grabbed Li Qingyun's big bag and opened it. He exclaimed: "There are so many interception monkeys! They just came out this year. How can they catch so many at one time?"
"Boss Li, what is the interception monkey?"
"Yes, Boss Li, you said that the thing that even money can't buy is the trapped monkey. What is that? A protected animal in the mountains?"
"Boss Li, don't be pretentious. Don't worry, we are almost finished. If the food is really good, we will definitely add more dishes. Money is not an issue."
Li Qinghe's words made the people eating in the hall crane their heads and ask curious questions. Because they came from big cities outside, they didn't know what a interception monkey was, because the lazy cicada and interception monkey were the local names.
, they are not locals, so it is normal for them not to understand for a while.
Li Qinghe smiled slightly, with the aura of a boss lady, and explained: "You all must know about the interception monkey, but the names are different in different places. Its adult is called 'cicada', which is the 'cicada' that sings on the tree.
', the intercepted monkey is the larvae of the cicada."
"Oh, it turns out it's cicadas. I thought they were some new thing. I used to eat them a lot when I was a kid. How could I not have enough money to buy them? Although I've eaten less in recent years, I can still eat them."
"My friend, please don't tell me. I once saw a piece of news that said that cicada larvae in a place were very popular with local diners and had been caught to the point of extinction."
"Is it such an exaggeration? This thing is everywhere and will become extinct? Besides, I have eaten the intercepted monkey, and the taste is average. If it really makes me admire it, I can afford a portion at any price! Hum!
Huh, I'm afraid that what you make will be like other restaurants, only worth thirty-fifty, and there won't be any surprises!"
After such an explanation, the guests in the hall understood what it was, but they did not think it was precious, and they regarded it as rare.
At this time, Li Qingyun smiled and said nothing to the diners in the hall, because he wanted to speak with facts. He now called Li Xiaochu from Qinghe Residence, and then gave Li Xiaochu an order: "Master Li, take the
Use your housekeeping skills and prepare a few dishes from these interception monkeys for everyone to try. If you don’t have money, you can tell us after tasting it. We will sell it for how much the guests say it is worth!"
As soon as Li Xiaochu saw the atmosphere in the hall and the tone of Li Qingyun's words, he immediately knew what Li Qingyun meant. He immediately patted his chest and said to him: "This matter is all mine. I've been eating monkeys since I was a kid.
The delicious food will definitely make them drool and they will be willing to pay a high price to taste it.”
"Master Li, then I'll watch your performance. Don't screw it up." In order to set off Chef Li's identity, Li Qingyun rarely gave him several honorific titles. After explaining a few words to Chef Li, he handed over the big bag
The intercepted monkey was handed over to him.
Li Qingyun just thought of what might happen, so he deliberately put these trapped monkeys into a small space, washed them with spring water, and soaked them for a while. If you talk about ordinary game, it can only make everyone think it is delicious, but once you eat it, you will not like it.
Juekou, you must use a cheating device like space spring water.
"In my opinion, this guy, the richest man in Qinglong Town, will not just make empty promises. The vegetables, fruits and fish on his farm are rare in the country, and may even be the only one. He will not slap himself in the face."
"Brother, I don't think so. It's not like we don't know about cicadas. Cicadas are like that. Although it's good in your mouth, it just tastes like that. As long as you have money, you still worry about not being able to receive it? Not being able to eat it?
How can it be so precious that even money can’t buy it? Haha, you’re bragging to the sky!”
"Where have you ever tasted Qingheju's food? If it could be eaten elsewhere, why would we all travel thousands of kilometers to drink and eat here? So, it's not unusual to eat something strange here."
"Humph, there's no point in talking now. Let's talk after I eat it! If it's as delicious as he said, I'd be happy to buy one for a thousand yuan. I'm sure of everything, but I'm not short of money!"
At this time, Li Qingyun did not defend himself against the words of the diners in the hall. He walked to an empty table, asked the waiter to make a pot of tea, and quietly tasted the tea, waiting for Chef Li's final result.
Li Qinghe was a little worried about Li Qingyun. She walked up to Li Qingyun and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you really sure? It tastes like intercepted monkey. It's not like I haven't tasted it before. I, the boss lady, don't dare to brag like that."
.”
Looking at his worried sister, Li Qingyun slowly took a sip of tea and then said with a relaxed smile: "Sister, when have you ever seen me do something I wasn't sure about?"
"Well, my sister's success depends entirely on you!" Hearing what Li Qingyun said, Li Qinghe, who was worried in her heart, could only comfort herself in this way. It was not that she didn't believe Li Qingyun, but that she had eaten the interception monkey before and knew that the interception monkey was not
The top-quality ingredients always taste the same no matter how they are cooked. She is afraid that the reputation she has worked so hard to build will be ruined and she will be laughed at by these customers.
After saying that, Li Qinghe ran to work again, only glancing in the direction of the kitchen from time to time, for fear that Chef Li would mess up at this critical moment. Because she saw that there were already several female diners, and they started to take photos and send them to friends in a very gossipy manner.
lock up.
Not to mention the diners in the hall, who were very concerned about this matter, even the waiters at Qingheju were secretly discussing it.
"How dare these customers question Fuwa? If foreign tourists like them knew that he sells ordinary vegetables at sky-high prices, they would shut up."
"They have made it clear that they are looking for slaughter. Alas, I feel sad for them! One thousand yuan a piece, how many baskets of monkeys can be bought with that money?"
Because they know that the guests in the hall are all foreigners, usually rich or noble, with a lot of money. As long as there are delicious food and drinks, they will taste it no matter how much they spend.
Therefore, when they come up with the unique taste of the intercepted monkey, they don't have to deliberately rip off customers, they just put themselves on the chopping board. Didn't the tourist who seemed to be very smart just now clamored to spend a thousand yuan to buy a portion of the intercepted monkey?
Monkey yet?
Because Li Qingyun deliberately made a small bet with the guests, not only did no guests leave Qinghe Residence, but more guests came out of the Bamboo House Hotel and entered Qinghe Residence. They not only came to watch the excitement, but also to see
Let’s see how Qingheju makes the trapped monkeys make surprisingly delicious food. Of course, if everyone thinks it tastes good, they will also want to pay a high price to taste the special taste here.
Soon, some words reached Chef Li's ears. Although he was a chef, he had never experienced a big scene after all. He was more cautious at this time. This not only related to his face, but also Li Qingyun's trust.
The reputation of Qingheju.
If it is cooked well and everyone applauds it, there will be no problem, but if the taste is ordinary, neither Qingheju nor Li Qingyun will look good.
Therefore, he now concentrated on making the dish of intercepted monkey in the kitchen at his best. He tried all the ways he could think of. The fragrance of intercepted monkey wafted out from the kitchen. The taste of intercepted monkey was quite unique.
, completely different from other scents.
"Hey, why hasn't it been done for so long?"
"Is it possible that the chef at Qingheju didn't have the confidence to make it? Did he give up on his own initiative?"
In fact, it didn't take long, but the guests who were eager to know the results no longer had much patience. They talked about everything and almost banged the table. The joint defense team members in the village, who had not yet gotten off work, heard something moving here and poked their heads inside to inquire about the situation.
Although the joint defense team members did not speak, those customers who were just about to make a scene suddenly became quiet. Visitors here have heard some rumors that the joint defense team members in Lijiazhai are more cruel than the urban management, and they even killed a troublemaker some time ago.
of tourists.
Although this is not a good thing, the deterrence effect is surprisingly good. No matter how fierce or arrogant the city residents who come to travel are, they immediately become more honest when they see the joint defense team members appear, which is more effective than the police at the town police station.
"Brother Fuwa, what happened here? Do you want our help?" Daniel asked enthusiastically.
"No, you can patrol elsewhere. As long as I'm here, there won't be any trouble in Qinghe Residence." Li Qingyun was extremely confident. In his territory, even a dragon crossing the river would have to be controlled by him.
"That's right, hey, if you're thinking, let's go to the east end of the village and have a look." Da Niu smiled ingratiatingly and left neatly.
The joint defense team members left, and the guests did not dare to bang the table. The atmosphere was a little cold for a while. Li Qingyun did not explain anything deliberately, so it would be good for these diners to wake up.
"The food is ready..."
At the critical moment, Chef Li's shouts came from the kitchen, drawing everyone's attention back to the bet of intercepting the monkey. (To be continued...)
