Chapter 20 Silver Bud clam abalone
At noon, the most famous Fenglai restaurant in Yanzhou City was at the time when the voice was boiling.
The shopkeeper with a rag on his shoulder shouted and shuttled back and forth between more than a dozen tables. For a while, he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and for a while, he added tea and water to the guests. He was so busy and sweated.
"Miss, this is the silver bud clam for you."
A plate of seductive aroma of dishes was put on the table. Xiao Er, who was carrying the dishes, wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, and pushed the plate in the direction of Shan Xiaowu with a warm smile. "Chef Wang heard that you are here, he specially asked me to deliver the dishes first, so that you won't be hungry."
"It's still Uncle Wang's heart."
"That's right, in this store, who doesn't know that Chef Wang regards you as your biological daughter..." In the middle of the conversation, Xiao Er remembered that it didn't seem to be too good to say so. He subconsciously stopped his mouth, grabbed the back of his head and was ready to say, "Miss, I didn't say anything just now."
After all, no matter how delicious and famous Chef Wang is, he is just a chef in Fenglai Restaurant. How can he treat the young lady as his biological daughter? In terms of this, it is very overruly.
"It doesn't matter. Uncle Wang loves me so much that I'm too happy." Shan Xiaowu smiled and motioned the dish with his eyes. "This dish is called silver bud clam abalone? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"Hey hey, young lady, you're here at the right time," Xiao Er pulled down the rag on his shoulder and wiped it on the table, and filled the tea bowl in front of Shan Xiaowu with a kettle. "This dish was only developed by Chef Wang yesterday. I planned to bring it out and ask for a few rewards next month on the magistrate's birthday, but this After hearing that you were coming, Chef Wang changed his mind and wanted you to try it first.
"It turned out to be a new dish, so you have to try it," Shan Xiaowu put away the folding fan he touched from her eldest brother and put it on the table. He curiously dialed it with chopsticks, but said doubtfully, "Huh? Isn't it just stir-frying bean sprouts and abalone together? What's so special?
"Don't say that, young lady. Chef Wang's dish has a lot of content," the shopkeeper bowed his back, enthusiastically pushed the plate over again, and motioned her to take a bite first. "You will know if you taste it."
Shan Xiaowu | Unrevegetably raised his right eyebrow, took chopsticks to pick up some bean sprouts, chewed it, and immediately showed a surprised look on his face, "It's really delicious! How did this come about?
It's unbelievable. Looking at the simple bean sprouts and abalone, there are only two or three ingredients that can make such a variety of delicious taste. The bean sprouts are crispy and sweet, the abalone melts in the mouth, and the clams are extremely delicious. The three are combined with a thick sauce, which makes people's lips and teeth fragrant and have an endless aftertaste.
Subconsciously, he picked up a chopsticks in his mouth again, and the expression on Shan Xiaowu's face was as happy as if to fly, "Delicious!"
The jadeite beside him looked at it and hurriedly took the chopsticks to pick it up, but he was so moved that he almost cried. Sure enough, he followed the young lady and could always eat unexpected delicious food.
"This silver bud clam abalone is really delicious. It seems that Uncle Wang's skills have grown a lot."
Although I'm talking about it, the chopsticks in my hand have not stopped. It is full of bean sprouts, and there is a drop of soup hanging at the corners of my mouth. At this moment, Shan Xiaowu has no image at all. It's like a starving ghost reincarnated. The two people and the jadeite have swept away the whole dish.
"As long as you like it, Miss. Chef Wang should be relieved now."
The shopkeeper also narrowed his eyes when he saw the situation, as if the dish was made by him. "Silver buds are bean sprouts that pinch the head and tails, and the north is called pinch vegetables, and we call them silver buds. Although the ingredients are simple, Chef Wang said that it is difficult to control the heat when cooking this dish. To stir-fry the bean sprouts as crispy as this, hot and not juicy, which is quite a test of people's ability, not to mention that the abalone has to be soaked in secret sauce for a few hours in advance. Ordinary people absolutely can't make this. Wait for the delicious food.
"It's really not a small one." Shan Xiaowu nodded with approval, and then took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it in the second-hand store. "Little brother, take this silver and buy some sugar for the children at home."
"Oh, young lady, this... I can't get it for nothing." Although the shopkeeper smiled with a saliva, his eyes stared at the broken silver and did not move. Although he said so, he was reluctant to return it.
The broken silver in his hand is heavy, at least two taels. He is a sophomore in a shop, and his monthly salary is only a little more than 16 taels a month. These two taels of silver are worth his salary for several days.
Shan Xiaowu saw his hesitation, so he smiled and said, "Little brother, don't think too much. This is your explanation fee and errand fee today."
Seeing that the shopkeeper Xiaoer was confused, Shan Xiaowu explained, "I think you should know what the explanation fee is. As for this errand fee," she took out several taels of broken silver from her sleeve and put it on the table. She lowered her voice with a smile, "This silver, please help me send it to Uncle Wang, and ask him to buy some supplements for Aunt Wang. Medicinal herbs for the body. If you have time, stir-fry a plate of silver bud clams for me by the way, so that you can help me go to Shanfu and send this dish to my parents.
"It turned out that the young lady wanted the master and his wife to try this dish. Well, I'll do it now." He accepted the silver with peace of mind, and the shopkeeper habitually threw the cloth towel back on his shoulder and hung it, and his face smiled more and more eagerly.
"Miss, there will be more dishes to be delivered later. You can eat while it's hot. If you need some tea or sour plum soup, just come to me."
There were helpers who put other dishes on the table one after another. The shop's second child also knew that it was not easy to fight at the peak of the meal, so he stopped talking much. He collected the money and turned around and was ready to leave.
"I will. Go ahead." Single and five nod heads.
When the shop's second child went far away, the jadeite, who had been busy eating, swallowed the food in her mouth. She patted her chest and looked at Shan Xiaowu and said, "Miss, you are still so generous. Suddenly, ten taels of silver were sent out. The master knows whether you will be happy."
Shan Xiaowu glanced at the jadeite and knocked on her head with a fan handle, "Stupid jadeite, only look at the surface."
"That's the truth," Feicui didn't care much about touching the place where she was knocked. If there was something to eat, she didn't care about being beaten by the young lady.
Shan Xiaowu blinked and looked at Xiao Er, the shop downstairs, who was shouting loudly to serve food for guests. His voice was a little distant. "Did you forget that Xiaojiao told us that his best friend Dongdong was sick and had a high fever just at the big yard?"
Feicui was busy stuffing something into her mouth and asked vaguely, "Remember... remember, it's not that Dongdong is... er, the son of the second brother, right?"
"It's not stupid." Shan Xiaowu glanced at her unexpectedly.
"Of course." Feicui was still chewing something in her mouth. Hearing Shan Xiaowu's words, she immediately raised her head magically and said, "After following the young lady for so long, Feicui has still learned something."
"Wow, I'll give you a few colors and it's really starting to dye the room." Shan Xiaowu spat and came back to his senses. There were several dishes left on the table, and Feicui was trying to pick up the last dish into his bowl.
The face of the single five is black.
"The conscienceless girl, I haven't eaten much after ordering so many dishes, but you have eaten it all for me! You, you... you spit it out!"
Jadeite was choked and shook her chopsticks in her hand. She was almost choked to death. It was not easy to wait for Shan Xiaowuqi enough before she could escape from the claws of Shuanglu Mountain. "Little...Miss, you are too...cough...too cruel, choke me to death."
"Well, I have indulged you over the years, but I didn't expect it to make you more and more lawless." He snorted coldly. Although he was not angry at all, Shan Xiaowu still turned his face full of unhappiness.
"Okay, miss, the jadeite is wrong. Can the jadeite order a few more dishes for you?"
Shan Xiaowu stretched out his hand, poked the jadeite's cheek with his fingers, and said, "Bad girl, it's not my money to order again. You're really calculating."
"Well, can't Jade invite the young lady to dinner with her own money?" Since childhood, they have been together with Xiaowu, and their feelings are like sisters. Naturally, they also know that Shan Xiaowu is joking with her, so now he is still smiling and frightened. "Miss, don't be angry. Look at the downstairs, Zhong Tiezui is ready to talk about the book. Miss, you just watch here. Can Jade go to the kitchen to bring you some food in person?
"You are sensible."
Looking at the emerald jumping downstairs, Shan Xiaowu, who monopolized the box upstairs, had nothing to do, so he moved the stool and folded his hands on the window facing the hall downstairs. He was excitedly waiting for the storyteller Zhong Tiezui, who had been invited to spend a lot of money to tell a story.
Speaking of this Zhong Tiezui, it is also a strange person. The celebrities he wrote in the book are not necessarily few. He has poured out all the good and bad things, but the strange thing is that even if he is so arrogant and domineering, there is no one, especially those who have been mean by him. The next person came to seek revenge, and this was also what Shan Xiaowu was particularly interested in him.
Obviously, there are no more than a hundred and eighty high-ranking officials in the Jianghu celebrity court who have rolled around his mouth, but she has never seen anyone come to smash the scene, which is also what she has to sigh - a mouth is poisonous like this and knows so many things. It is purely a great miracle that this guy can live until now.
Although he holds a heavy salary of 200 taels a month in this Fenglai restaurant, he still wears sloppy and shabby clothes. A broken fan is inserted into his belt. He always holds a swaying cloth flag in his hand. He wrote the four big words "I know the world", and the storytelling never goes up to the stage, only casually in the middle of the hall. Zhang sat down on the table, took other people's things and said while eating, which was not polite.
Those who were robbed of their seats by him were not annoyed. They still sat down according to this person, and let him eat and drink, just for the convenience of sitting close and listening.
Shan Xiaowu held her chin and thought that this guy she saw in Yanzhou City was fascinated by him at the beginning. Although he was vicious, he could always say it, and the people who listened to him often had an intoxicated expression.
In view of the boredom of life and in order to bring more business to his restaurant, Shan Xiaowu asked the shopkeeper of the Yanzhou branch of Fenglai Restaurant to find him and paid a lot of money to attract people.
Who would have thought that Zhong Tiezui was also a weirdo? He was not attracted to the huge amount of money held by the shopkeeper. He just said that He De could close the door and sleep and ignored it.
Later, Shan Xiaowu came out in person. With a bag of special shortbread shipped from his hometown, this sloppy but full of gossip sharp uncle nodded and promised to become her forgetful friends, and obediently followed her to Yanzhou to write a book.
Later, every time when he was idle and had nothing to chat, Zhong Tiezui would beat his heart and heart and indignation from time to time - at the beginning, he was soft-hearted and let a little girl buy it with a few shortbread? How can he lose a lot of money in this transaction!
Of course, Shan Xiaowu didn't care. He cried when he cried. Anyway, she had a contract book in her hand and a book in her hand, and she was invincible all over the world.
The jadeite hasn't come back yet. Zhong Tiezui downstairs hasn't talked at this moment. Shan Xiaowu is bored, so he bought a bag of peanuts from the little girl who used to sell snacks. She sat and peeled the shell and threw it into her mouth. On one side, he glanced aimlessly at the whole hall downstairs.
She chose an excellent position, just overlooking the whole hall, and even seeing the people entering and leaving the door, so when the slightly conspicuous figure floated into her eyes, she bounced up from the chair almost immediately.
Why did he come here?
