MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 51 Qujiang Tanhualang
Shangsi Festival is a good day, whether it is for those who travel in spring or those who set up stalls.
Shen Shaoguang hired two mule carts early to prepare semi-finished and semi-finished products of various ingredients with Yu San and A Yuan. Just wait for the time to come and go to Qujiang to make a fortune .
A Yuan and Yu San have never experienced this battle, let alone A Chang. I know that the little lady used to set up a stall to sell pancakes, but I don't know that she can "change the shop to a stall" at any time now.
Shen Shaoguang proudly showed them the results of setting up a stall on the Dragon Boat Festival last year, "So many buckets of iced sour plum drinks have been packaged by the guards, and no one else wants to buy them. After the festival, the captain who bought the sour plum drink came over again, and I simply sold the recipe to him."
The three of them were shocked by this new wave of tricks, so can the recipe be sold?
"How much did it cost?" A Chang asked.
Shen Shaoguang sold off, "Guess."
"Five taels." A Chang thought for a while.
A Yuan often helps Shen Shaoguang settle accounts, feeling that five taels is not enough to make the little lady so proud, "Ten taels."
The three were busy with their work and did not speak.
"Twenty taels." Shen Shaoguang said with a smile.
Achang opened his eyes, a recipe for sour plum soup, can buy several himself.
A Yuan clapped her hands reluctantly, and expanded from this: "Then if we sell all kinds of recipes for meat and jade noodles..."
Achang laughed first: "How about that? People bought all our recipes and opened a wine shop, so why not fight for business?" Over there, Yunlai's wine shop, so as not to lose money without knowing it.
Yu San couldn't listen anymore, "Oh", "The key is that it's hard to find a fool who buys a drink for twenty-two."
Shen Shaoguang: "..." Okay, I'll let you guys say the truth.
A Yuan concluded her statement: "The little lady is still amazing!"
Shen Shaoguang is smiling, she is still a caring little girl.
It's the first day of the Shanghai Festival. Standing at the place where the stall was set up last year, watching A Chang light the stove, Yu San kneading glutinous rice balls, and A Yuan fetching water to scrub the table, Shen Shaoguang was not without emotion. Last year, I was alone, guarding a desk, doing everything by myself, making thousands of dollars and being very happy, and then look at the present... It will be better in the future, right? will it?
Because it is outdoors, the things you can bring are limited, mainly to make various flower cakes, such as pea yellow, Aiwowo, green dumplings, red bean cakes, snowflake cakes, etc., all with fillings and skins The mold comes over and makes it now, so as not to chapped the skin or break the frame.
When selling all kinds of cakes, you can put them in a cardboard box if you are particular about them, or put them in paper bags if you are not so particular about them, or you can eat them with a stick inserted.
Tea drinking is simpler, because of the season, there is no cold drink, only jasmine tea, hawthorn and wolfberry drink, whether it is jasmine or hawthorn and wolfberry, they are all things that the drugstore got, you can smell it carefully Out of Codonopsis and Astragalus flavor. Another sweet soup is added—Sake Niang Yuanzi, for the hungry.
A small team of four spreads out the stall, and several large boxes of colorful flower cakes are placed in the most conspicuous part of the stall to ensure that passers-by can see it at a glance.
Some people still remember Shen Shaoguang, "The little lady made a good glutinous rice dumpling!" When they saw the Aiwowo I had eaten here, they were even more delighted, "I will never eat such good beans in the future. stuffing!"
The person next to me was curious and asked what was so special about this bean paste?
The original customer was a researcher who loves to be poor: "A certain friend who was good at diet once asked a friend and friend who was good at eating. This bean paste is called 'Lingsha Zang'. Those who are beautiful, sweet and not sullen are the best, and this little lady deserves these words."
This guest is also popular. It is said that Lingsha in the house of Madam Guoguo was the best in Tianbao.
You can't eat the delicious food of Madam Guoguo's Mansion, but there are ready-made Aiwowo by the Qujiang River. After listening to the allusions, people naturally want to try this dessert full of Tang Dynasty style.
Once the chat started, someone asked Shen Shaoguang where he opened the cake shop.
Shen Shaoguang made a small advertisement with them, introducing the Shenji wine shop in Chongxianfang, and smiled and apologized: "There are also flower cakes on weekdays, but there are not so many kinds. It's agate meat, jade balls, etc. Chickens, ducks, fish, and meals are done more.”
It is both agate and jade, the name alone is beautiful enough, the customers who bought the flower cakes are not only not disappointed, but more and more interested, they vowed to go to Chongxianfang Shenji wine shop another day Try this meat and dumplings.
Yu San looked at Shen Shaoguang with some doubts, Shen Shaoguang is very innocent, they are really not the nurses I asked for, this is the power of repeat customers.
A Yuan only praised in her heart, "Look, look, I said that the little lady can attract countless guests just by talking."
After a large wave of sales, the purchase of food began to slow down, and the four of them had time to rest and chat.
A Yuan looked left and right, "Little lady, will Tanhua Lang pass by us?"
This Shen Shaoguang really didn't know, "You go to Xingyuan and you may see Tanhua Lang. Anyway, it's not very busy at the moment." A Chang said, "When A Yuan comes back, you can go for a walk instead, and it's not a waste to come to Qujiang for the holidays."
A Yuan shook her head, "Every time we go out to play, the little lady is left. This time you go!"
Shen Shaoguang laughed, I'm too old to chase stars, I've saved pocket money for a long time to buy a ticket for the last seat of an idol concert The old man chatted about teenage madness.
Yu San looked at Achang: "You also follow."
Shen Shaoguang raised his eyebrows. Yu Sanjiguan put the filling in the green dough wrapper, wrapped it well, and pressed it into the mold again.
A Chang smiled and took off his apron sleeves, "I'll follow the little lady."
Shen Shaoguang was represented and accepted their kindness, so he also took off his apron and said with a smile, "Then let's go out for a walk, we'll be back for a shift later."
Shen Shaoguang took Achang to Xingyuan. There were many people along the way, all waiting to see Xinke Jinshi. I don't know what time this Tanhualang started to explore the flowers. Shen Shaoguang didn't want to wait stupidly, so he took Achang and walked forward. On the way, he bought a big bag of sesame candy, and bought Achang a very beautiful candy painting.
A Chang was flattered, even when she was a child, no one had ever done this, "It's better for a little lady to eat."
Shen Shaoguang likes to eat sweet, but can't eat too sweet, "You can eat it. It's not easy to take, otherwise I'll bring one for Ah Yuan."
Shen Shaoguang took the bun and sesame candy and hugged it, so that Achang could concentrate on eating his candy painting.
smoke" means. Shen Shaoguang turned his head again to look at the ladies in red makeup and the romantic gentlemen, all of them with green eyebrows, pink faces, and youthful spring shirts.
When I passed by Xingyuan, I heard that the Tanhualangs have just passed by.
A Chang was excited: "Let's go fast, maybe we can catch up."
Shen Shaoguang threw the grass stalk and rushed forward with Achang, and really caught up.
In the gap between the people, Shen Shaoguang looked at it and saw that the two tanhualangs were really young, and they were in their early twenties. The appearance of the vice is romantic; the other face is like powder, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, like a chili orchid and a jade tree.
Oops, this year's third flower makes her look very good. Shen Shaoguang compares the former Tanhua Lang who he is familiar with. The temperament is a bit cold, like a cypress branch in winter, not so close to the people.
The flower-seeker unfolded the veil to take a look, opened his lips and smiled. The romantic attitude of this smile made countless girls take a breath, and immediately someone threw the handkerchiefs and flower branches in their hands at the tanhualangs as was popular in the past.
The two Tanhua Lang smiled and rode forward.
"Tsk! Tsk! The young man was admitted to the university, Qujiang Tanhua, and Pingkang Mingji sent a balm stained with eyebrow print and lip gloss. There is nothing more proud of life than this!"①
"Shirou is also a little more diligent, and it's you who can't make sure next year."
Shen Shaoguang looked sideways at the two gentlemen beside him. It turned out that the handkerchief was given by a Pingkang prostitute, and there was also a fragrant "artistic processing". You Tang Dynasty people really know how to play!
Seeing the pretty little lady looking at him, the two gentlemen also smiled and nodded to Shen Shaoguang.
Shen Shaoguang smiled dryly and squeezed out the crowd.
Because the **** was in front, Shen Shaoguang was too lazy to squeeze forward, so he led Ah Chang around for a while, bought some other snacks, and then walked back to himself when the road was clear go to the stall.
As soon as I came back, I saw that Yu San and A Yuan were very busy, so Shen Shaoguang and A Chang quickly joined in.
Rao was so busy, A Yuan also reported the news to Shen Shaoguang, "Little lady, little lady, just now that flower stalker bought our flower cake! What else did you say 'the cake is more delicate than the flower'? ."
The guests next to them also laughed and said, "We also try this flower cake that all the envoys like."
Shen Shaoguang: "..." What kind of adventure is this? It turns out that Lord Qianlong's roast chicken and Cixi's Xiaowotou may be real!
While busy, Shen Shaoguang pondered, and went back to be a big brand of flower cakes.
Thanks to Tanhualang's help, today's flower cakes are selling very fast, and some varieties are gradually sold out. There are a few ice cream cakes left.
The former Tanhua Lang came at this time.
Shen Shaoguang found that this man always likes to appear when the night is waning, and he is born with a bit of loneliness.
When this happens, there is the biggest problem - there is no food!
Shen Shaoguang joked with a smile: "The current Tanhua envoy bought a cake, so the former Tanhua envoy has no cake to buy."
Lin Yan frowned slightly, "Then let's drink jasmine tea."
Shen Shaoguang poured him tea, brought the cakes, and then went to clean up the chopping board.
After finishing packing, she turned around and saw Lin Shaoyin slightly lowered her head, holding the lid of the tea bowl and gently scraping the tea powder, perhaps because her nose was straight, her profile was particularly good-looking, and her body was dark red The official uniform is also well-dressed.
Comparing with the two flower-seekers just now, this one's good looks have been precipitated, probably like-Shen Shaoguang remembered the ham hanging in his backyard again.
Shen Shaoguang felt that Lin Shaoyin could be counted as a leg for two years, and steamed it with flower carvings.
Lin Yan turned his head sideways, just looking at Shen Shaoguang.
Shen Shaoguang was not embarrassed to be caught, but smiled and said: "Lin Langjun was so lively when he explored the flowers in the apricot garden? Is there any—" Shen Shaoguang coughed and stopped his mouth. It would be too frivolous to ask if there were any famous prostitutes to send veils.
Lin Yan smiled: "It's like this every year."
"Oh—" Shen Shaoguang nodded.
"It's just that there was no such good cake to eat at that time." Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly, took a piece of ice cream into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
"..." Shen Shaoguang couldn't help but smile, Lin Shaoyin had eaten honey today, right? Why are you talking so sweetly all of a sudden?
The corners of Lin Yan's eyes were slightly raised, like the beginning of an orchid bud.
The author has something to say:①In fact, it is the experience of the late Tang poet Han Wei. "The envoy Yu Zuo sent congratulations to the silk child in the hand of the Liaoling, so there was a poem": "The small letter seal of the Liaoling was released, and the flower banquet was displayed in the spring bushes. The eyebrows are printed on a slight green, and the sandalwood mouth disappears with a thin red."
