Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 39: The ruffians make trouble
On the first day of its opening, Shuangxi Tower became famous in the capital with a Buddha Jumping Over the Wall. Several days have passed, and the rich and powerful who were fortunate enough to taste Buddha Jumping Over the Wall that day are still talking about it, the slippery as thin as fat, the fragrant teeth The freshness of the cheeks is really lingering, and it has been around the beam for three days!
After the hit, the business of Sungai Tower is getting better and better day by day, and there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out. In contrast, the opposite of Ping Xian Ju seems to be much colder. The old owner of Pinxianju is not in good health. Last month, he officially handed over the management of the restaurant to his eldest son, Li Shaoming. When Li Shaoming first took over Pinxianju, the restaurant opposite was still called Tianxianglou. At that time, the business of the two restaurants was evenly matched. , and no one can suppress the situation.
Later Tianxiang Building became Shuangxi Building, and it was smashed by An Mingyue a few days later. Many old customers of Tianxiang Building came to Pinxianju. The business of Tianpinxianju was much better. Ning Xi tossed all day long, and Li Shaoming just watched the excitement, not too concerned about it. What can a little girl in her teens toss out?
At this time, Li Shaoming was standing in front of the second floor window of his own restaurant, watching the people coming and going at the entrance of Shuangxi Tower, when the shopkeeper Zhu came over with a ledger in his hand: "Young master, this is the price of the restaurant for the past few days. The details of the support, the business is more than half less than a few days ago."
Li Shaoming did not accept the account book: "What is the origin of this Ningxi?"
"Our people checked for a few days, and it must be a peasant girl who fled. She was abducted and sold to the capital. She originally set up a street stall in Ximen Night Market, and later opened it because she made some money from selling recipes for Quan Jufu. Shuangxi Tower, I really can't find any relationship with the capital dignitaries."
Li Shaoming snorted: "If she is really a peasant girl with no background, what is the matter with her superb cooking skills? Tianxianglou was originally the property of the fifth prince, so how could it be transferred for no reason? into her hands?"
Manager Zhu broke into a cold sweat: "This, this..."
Li Shaoming waved his hand: "Forget it, find some people to test it out, don't overdo it, leave some leeway."
Not long after, in the lobby of Shuangxi Tower, a few men dressed in extremely ruffian clothes came in. In line with the principle of being a guest, Xiao Er greeted them as usual, and winked quietly at the same time. , let someone go in and tell Ning Xi.
The man hurriedly ran into the back kitchen. Before he could find Ningxi, he was seen by An Mingyue and grabbed him by the collar: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Ahead, there are a few local ruffians, I'm afraid they're going to cause trouble."
An Mingyue threw the man away: "Look at what you're doing, you're just a few scumbags, and you can still eat you. Humph, who ate a leopard's guts, and dared to make trouble in my aunt's field, come and follow me. I'll go out and have a look." After that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
That person didn't care about going to Ningxi anymore, and followed An Mingyue closely. If this aunt really wanted to fight, he had to stop it immediately. The tables and stools in the lobby were all newly bought. Yes, it cost a lot of money!
Shuangxi Lou's service was good and the dishes were served quickly. When An Mingyue came in, several local ruffians were feasting on their food, and they were so happy that they completely forgot that there was still a cockroach hidden in their sleeves and was about to throw them into the dishes. It's good to frame the shopkeeper.
"Crack!" A horsewhip slapped the table heavily, and even the dishes and bowls on the table vibrated and jumped twice. On the whip was a slender hand as white as jade. The owner of the hand asked viciously. : "What are you doing here?"
The ruffian was startled and stammered: "Eat, eat!"
"Have you brought money for dinner? Hurry up and check out if you have money."
"Paying the bill?" The local ruffians rubbed their sleeves, and then they remembered the purpose of today's visit. Grandma's, this dish was so delicious that people forgot that they were not here for dinner today. Suddenly, he threw the cockroaches in his sleeves into the scraps on the table, and was about to shout that there were cockroaches in the dishes, when suddenly An Mingyue raised his hand and whipped him over. His hands were tied tightly to his body, unable to move.
Before the other ruffians came back to their senses, An Mingyue stretched out her hands, grabbed the man on both sides of the chin and pinched it, the mouth opened wide, and the other hand held up the leftover plate of cockroaches, All of them were poured into the open mouth, and then the chin was rested, only to hear a "gudong", and everyone watched the cockroach enter the stomach of the ruffian.
An Mingyue threw the plate, clapped her hands and said, "Dare to fight with auntie, when auntie I was here to make trouble, you **** didn't know where to stay!"
The local ruffian B bent down and vomited, An Mingyue frowned, grabbed the whip, and threw the man out of the door: "Go outside and vomit, don't disturb the guests in our store to eat. "
The local ruffian remembered that his brothers had collected money from the shopkeeper Zhu, and this scene had to be sung anyway, so he dared to point to the almost empty plate on the table and said, "You, the food in your store is not clean, It caused my brother to eat a bad stomach, and you have to compensate and compensate!"
An Mingyue gave a "scoff!" smile: "Who doesn't have eyesight, and found you **** to make trouble." Seeing that there was no one at the door, he just practiced his footwork, kicked his feet, and kicked the remaining few. One by one, the local ruffians kicked out the door one by one, forming a pile of Arhats, "Tell you masters, open your eyes and take a look, the one who beat you is An Mingyue, the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion! I want to find Shuangxi Tower. The troubles, like this heart as soon as possible!"
There was a crisp applause from behind: "Miss An, it's good, what do you want to eat, tell your sister Meng, I will let Ningxi cook it for you."
"Can you have another altar of Buddha Jumping over the Wall?"
"You really dare to think, this is not good, say something else."
"Then let's take the chicken popcorn from last time. It looks unremarkable, but after eating it, it seems like an addiction. I don't eat it for a few days and think about it."
"You said that, I want to eat it too, but I don't need Ning Xi to do this, Wang Dongping does it well, let's go, let's find him to do it." Meng Shuangshuang embraced An Mingyue's shoulders enthusiastically , walked back, "We have Miss An in Shuangxi Tower, and even the nursing home is saved."
An Mingyue raised her face in displeasure: "I'm not here as a nursing home, I want to learn how to cook."
"Didn't Ningxi say it? Will I teach you how to cook when your cucumbers are cut?"
An Mingyue said with a sad face: "Good sister, please tell Ningxi for me, I really can't cut cucumbers."
Meng Shuangshuang said: "Your martial arts are so good, I think you must have done a lot of hard work at the beginning. If you can use that patience to cut cucumbers, you won't be able to cut cucumbers well. Think about it. , when you learn how to cook, the Prince of Qi came over that day, and you personally cooked a dish and sent it to you, and the prince greatly appreciated it..."
An Mingyue's eyes glowed: "Yes, I'm going to cut the cucumbers, Sister Meng, I'll go first, you can ask Wang Dongping to make the chicken and popcorn before calling me."
Meng Shuangshuang shook his head with a smile. He didn't expect this eldest lady to be so coaxing. When he looked up, he saw Wang Dongping coming in through the back door absentmindedly, jumping over and shaking his hand in front of him, but the other party didn't respond.
Meng Shuangshuang patted him on the shoulder hard: "Hey, Mr. Wang, why are you in a daze!"
Wang Dongping soothed his heart and said, "Miss Meng, why are you screaming? It scared me to death."
"You don't know what you're thinking, and you can't even hear it. Why do you blame me. By the way, what the **** are you thinking? Didn't your master teach you?"
Wang Dongping shook his head: "I saw Yuan Fugui."
Meng Shuangshuang snorted coldly: "That kind of ungrateful person, what do you even ask him for?"
Wang Dongping sighed: "However, it's also a brother-in-law game. I just saw him enter the backyard of Dianpinxianju." Wang Dongping and Yuan Fugui are both apprentices of Rongdaquan. They ate and slept together for several years. After all, there are still some feelings. At that time, Yuan Fugui refused to follow them to leave Quanjufu. Although Wang Dongping felt that he was not loyal enough, he could not blame him. , there is no shadow yet!
Later I heard that Yuan Fugui didn't get along well in Quanjufu's back kitchen. Without the cover of Rongda, he was an apprentice with no roots and no base. I heard that he was very excluded. After being chased out, Wang Dongping was still thinking, when he has gained a firm foothold here, he will persuade him and ask him to apologize to the master. Maybe the master will be able to recognize this apprentice again and let him come in Shuangxi too. Let's work together!
But when I saw Yuan Fugui just now, Wang Dongping wanted to greet him with joy, but he seemed to have done something wrong and entered the backyard of Pinxianju in a flash, but he didn't seem to want to meet him. generally.
Seeing that he was still meditating silently, Meng Shuangshuang said impatiently: "What do you still want to do? He refused to follow you at the beginning, and now he has nothing to do with you. By the way, Brother Wang, you Make us some more chicken popcorn, you're the best."
The feeling of being needed is good. When Wang Dongping heard this, he felt beautiful in his heart, and Yuan Fugui didn't care about it. He rolled up his sleeves as he walked: "Okay, I'll do it right now."
Chicken popcorn is a small snack Ningxi taught them to make. The tender chicken breast is cut into cubes, marinated with salt, pepper and egg white, coated with starch and egg liquid, and then coated with a special layer of Ningxi. The thing called bread crumbs is fried until golden brown and you can eat it. It tastes crispy and delicious, and you can't stop taking one bite.
This thing is simple to say, but if someone else makes it, the taste is a little worse anyway, not so delicious, and it won't make people miss it if they don't eat it for a few days, the secret lies in Ning The special bread crumbs made by Xi contained ingredients that only she knew about the secret recipe. Ningxi didn't even tell Rong Daquan about the secret recipe. It was said that she kept it for future use.
Anyway, Ningxi didn't put the chicken popcorn on the menu, and usually just let them make it as a snack.
