Chapter 29 Cooking
Yan Xuehuai proposed to make rice with rice, which was thought out in a flash of inspiration.
She thought that the business would be better than the day before, but she didn't expect that it would be so much better.
When Li Qiniang came back, except for the most expensive braised pork, all the other three types came to the bottom!
Li Qiniang poured the last spoonful of braised pork on the rice, then scraped the soup from the basin with a large spoon, and finally got enough of the four bowls of rice from the Governor's Office of the Five Army.
Li Qiniang took on the load again and went to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to deliver meals.
This time, Zhang Xiaoping didn't need to follow him. Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, thanks to your help today, otherwise my mother wouldn't even find the place."
Zhang Xiaoping is the eldest son of the family, and he comes to the shop to help almost every day. The dried fruit shop in the Zhang family is only separated by a wall from Li Shiji. Zhang Xiaoping has seen Yan Xue pregnant several times, but this is the first time he really talks.
The little girl in front of her was watery, as if she could speak, and her eyelashes were so long and dense, like two rows of small brushes.
Zhang Xiaoping's face was flushed: "Don't... don't be polite... they are all neighbors, they should."
Yan Xuehuai was a little puzzled. She didn't say anything. Why did this person blush?
"Is there any food?"
A voice came from behind. Yan Xuehuai didn't care about studying Zhang Xiaoping's blushing. She turned around and was about to persuade the customer to buy a few buns. The rice was sold out.
But she met a familiar face.
Rattle!
"You are not that..." Yan Xuehuai instantly changed into a moderately thick and light smile, "Welcome to the store, three days of discount on opening, 10% off on cooking and 20% off on cold dishes, please come inside."
10% off? 20% off?
Yan Qi was a little curious: "You have three days to offer to open a store? What day is it today?"
Yan Xuehuai stretched out two white and tender fingers: "It's better to come early than to come by. You came just right. Today is the second day of our store. Today and tomorrow you will have the opportunity to enjoy discounts for two days and four meals. Look how lucky you are, right?"
Yan Qi has lived for eighteen years, but it is the first time he knows that he is a lucky person.
“My luck is good.”
Yan Qi looked at the four or five people sitting at the door. These people were holding big bowls and squeezing rice into their mouths. The air was filled with the aroma of food. Yan Qi was a little hungry.
Yan Xuehuai seized the opportunity and gave Yan Qi to the shop, pouring rice, buns, and making fun of it? Although she can't meet each other, there is a word in this world called "temperament". The temperament of rattle tells her that for customers with temperament, can it be worthy of their temperament if they don't come to serve a few dishes?
Facing the enthusiastic little girl, Yan Qi was a little flattered, and subconsciously followed Yan Xuehuai into the shop and sat next to the table. Yan Qi asked, "Are you cooking?"
As soon as he said that Yan Qi remembered it. Yan Xiangcai seemed to have said that her mother was good at cooking.
Yan Qi suddenly became curious about what Yan Xiangcai's mother looked like, did she also like to eat Xiangcai like her?
"My mother is the chef!" Yan Xuehuai's tone was full of pride!
"You see my sign, Li! Food! Remember!"
Yan Xuehuai deliberately made the three words Li Shiji very seriously, saying one word at a time.
"In our Jiangnan, do you know what the three words Li Shiji mean?"
Yan Qi shook his head, of course he didn't know.
Yan Xuehuai looked at him with sympathy, as if saying, "I don't even know Li Shiji, I'm really curious about how you grew up."
"I hope to hear the details."
"Humans are born as barbarians, but culture makes them superior to animals! Food is also culture, knowledge, food has passed down through the ages, and literature has been passed down from heaven and earth.
The character Li looks ordinary and used in the name of a restaurant represents inheritance. The inheritance of the Li family has been protected by hundreds of years for generations. It is not forgotten by the passage of time or consumed by the turbulence and displacement. It is inherited from generation to generation. My mother's surname is Li. She is the descendant of this generation, and only my mother is qualified to use the character Li on the restaurant sign."
Yan Qi's scalp was numb when he heard this. Just the word "Li" made Yan Xiangcai say so much. How expensive should her food be?
At this moment, Yan Qi even wondered whether Yan Xiangcai would treat him as a sucker and be heartbroken.
"After talking about the word Li, let's talk about the word "Shi"."
Yan Xuehuai paused. Li Qiniang had just left, and she had to find a way to delay time and must not let the rattle run away.
"The ancients said that people regard food as the most. Can people not eat? Of course, they cannot. Whether it is leading troops to fight or entering the imperial examination, they cannot do anything without eating enough. Therefore, the word "food" is the foundation of the people and the top priority."
"And what does this word mean? This is the Li Shiji record! It is also the exclusive feeling of the descendants of the Li family. This feeling may be a kitchen knife heirloom, or it may be a few drops of soy sauce added when cooking, or it may be a longing for Li Shiji in Jiangnan. Only with memory can you have longing, from south to north, from old to new, the mountains and rivers remain the same, and the feelings remain the same. Li Shiji reopened to remember the past and cherish the present, and what is the present? That is..."
Yan Xuehuai suddenly stopped and looked at the person who was walking away with an empty load.
"My mother is back now!"
Yan Qi was stunned and saw Li Qiniang walking over.
In the flash of lightning, Yan Qi remembered where he had seen Yan Xiangcai.
He has not only seen Yan Xiangcai, but also met Yan Xiangcai's mother!
Yan Xiangcai looked a little fatter and much better, no wonder he didn't recognize her the previous two times.
Yan Qi smiled and listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter. It turned out that Yan Xiangcai's mother was going to deliver food.
Yan Xiangcai's feelings are to delay time until her mother comes back to cook!
He took the recipe, ordered seven or eight dishes, and ordered another soup.
Yan Xuehuai was curious: "Do you still have friends to come here?"
"No."
Yan Xuehuai would not remind the customers to order too much. Why should she remind him? She didn't force him to order food with a knife.
What's more, this man looks like a monkey spirit, and he doesn't look like a sucker at all.
"Okay, wait!"
Yan Xuehuai picked up the rag and polished the already clean table to a shiny tiles.
The dishes were served one by one, and the taste was good. Although they were all home-cooked side dishes, Yan Qi felt that he was really feeling.
For example, this dish of stuffed tofu.
When he was a child, he liked this dish very much, and many people know it.
Later, the dish was no longer seen on the table. He asked his elder brother and found out that the chef who was good at making this dish was bribed...
He didn't know whether the cook was alive or dead, he had never asked, he knew that even if he asked, there was no answer.
He has never eaten stuffed tofu since then.
For example, this fried pork dish is the only dish he has ever made.
But his mother forgot to add salt when cooking... He was still young at that time and simply thought that this dish tasted like this.
He felt that the most unpalatable thing in the world was this, so he never ate it again.
Yan Qi looked at the stuffed tofu and fried pork, and the chopsticks in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Yan Xuehuai watched coldly. She had seen people who met each other, but had never seen people who met each other.
Chapter completed!
