Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 352 I have a friend

In addition to this, there is another reason why the old age is not particularly concerned about this possibility, that is, he is confident that even if others copy it, he will never be able to catch up with his own new product.

After all, in addition to these dim sum made of glutinous rice flour, eggs and milk are all powerful tools for making dim sum. In addition, flour can be divided into high gluten, medium gluten and low gluten.

Therefore, there are plenty of ways to make old age.

After successfully making the new marmalade cake, both of them showed joy on their faces, but at this moment, Chen Nian suddenly made another suggestion.

"Sister, it's been a long time, and I have a problem I can't figure out."

"what?"

"That's why the dim sum shop doesn't have a name, and the recognition is too low now."

Lu Ke is used to Chen Nian saying all kinds of novel words: "Because I don't know what to call it."

"Why don't you just call Lu Wanxing directly?"

Lu Wanxing is Lu Ke's Fu Xin. At this time, there are still many people who will use their name as a signboard. After all, it is a common phenomenon that the education level is not high.

What Wang Er's porridge shop, Zhang San's butcher shop, Li Si's sewing shop and so on.

Many people's proposals before were somewhat literary, but Lu Ke didn't feel very down-to-earth, so that the signboard at the door of the store now only has the word Dim Sum Shop.

After hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help admiring in his heart, it is his cousin's ability to make this store such a famous one.

"Using my father's name as a sign... is that okay?" Lu Ke hesitated.

"No problem, sister, you see that you learned your craft from my uncle. Although he is no longer here, if you use his name as a signboard, as long as the store is open, the signboard will continue to be handed down In the future, no matter who talks about it in the future, they will know that Lu Wanxing is a person who is particularly good at doing high points, and this is a person who has been able to glorify his ancestors for generations."

Chen Nian was persuasive and persuasive, and Lu Ke felt that there was some truth after hearing it.

"How come you know everything, Xiao Nian?"

It is naturally impossible for Chen Nian to say that he has been bombarded by various advertisements and marketing hundreds of years later, so he can only say: "When I was in Yangzhou, I heard from a friend who was a peddler who walked around the street all day long. Lane, I have a lot of knowledge, and we have a good relationship, so he will mention these when eating and drinking."

"I see." Lu Ke nodded, it seems that the friends my younger brother makes are all decent people.

"That's okay. I'll find someone to make a new signboard later, but I can only write small characters. It might not look good when written in big characters. How are you, Xiaonian?"

Chen Nianxin thought that you asked me to write pen characters, but writing brush characters can only be done.

"Then what should I do? I don't know anyone who can write well, why don't I ask Mr. Hai?" I can't think about it anymore. I think that the one I know who can move is Hai Mingxian.

But after chanting for a while, she shook her head again: "No, this person is a bit annoying, I don't want to look for him."

"Sister, I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. I'll go directly to Fu Xin, that kid..." Chen Nian suddenly felt that it seemed inappropriate to call Fu Xin that kid now: "The number one scholar who lived a good life Friends Lang just write it down, just a few words."

"Then how can I do it?" Lu Ke's forehead suddenly appeared black lines when he heard this, she felt that Chen Nian probably hadn't figured out how valuable the words of the champion of the dynasty were.

Although the other party is just a grassroots cadre of the Hanlin Academy now, it is very likely that he will pay homage to the prime minister in the future!

Therefore, people like them usually don't write inscriptions outside, and the rarest is the most expensive, and even if they are given in their identities, they must at least have equal identities.

"That's it." Hearing Lu Ke say this, Chen Nian seemed to feel that it was really not good. After all, this thing is like finding a friend who can draw in modern society to help him draw. To give money.

Of course, if the other party strongly refuses, that's another matter.

Although Chen Nian knew very well that if he spoke up, Fu Xin would be very happy.

In this way, they had to think about who they wanted to write, after all, Chen Nian didn't want to just find someone to write an inscription for the dim sum shop.

The signboard at this moment is the same as the brand logo in the future. A good logo can make people impressed. If it is not done well, it is better not to do it.

For a while, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so Chen Nian had to put it aside for the time being.

But he took advantage of his time to find some fruits that were easier to squeeze and made some mincemeat.

As a result, I accidentally overdid it, and the two of them alone couldn't finish it.

After thinking about it, Chen Nian packed some more. After dinner, he went to Fu's mansion, but he didn't go in to greet him this time. Anyway, he didn't plan to collect money this time. He just gave the pastry to the snack at the door and went back. up.

……

Fu Xin received the pastry from Chen Nian, and he was very dissatisfied with Chen Nian's practice of passing through the house and not entering, but soon after he opened it, he saw the pastry inside and smelled it, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed!
Then he called someone to call Xiao Mudan over on the spot.

He wants to taste it with his wife.

A piece of pastry is put into the mouth, and the fruity aroma is overflowing in the mouth.

Coupled with the texture of Xinbaiguo Cream, the taste is actually better than eating the fruit directly. After all, eating the fruit directly depends on the quality of the fruit. Put on the mask.

But this is different. The taste of the blended juice is just right for pastry, and it is endowed with a soft and glutinous taste.

Each of them ate a few pieces and felt very appetizing, and even their stomachs that were a little stuffed at night felt much more at ease and comfortable.

But just when he and his wife were about to eat all these cakes in one go, a message came from outside suddenly: "Master, Prince Jing is here."

Prince Jing was from the Great Xia Dynasty, and the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty, named Li Zhao.

At the beginning, Fu Xin was going to participate in the Qionglin Banquet after Zhongdi, where all the Zhongdi Jinshi had a meal with some important ministers and some relatives who held real power.

Normally, there are still children of the emperor, but the current emperor has not yet given birth to an heir.

This Li Zhao is the younger brother of Emperor Daxia, and he is highly respected.

To be precise, it belongs to the relationship between fans and idols.

As for the new emperor, he urgently needs his own team. Although he has the support of many old Chen, he still needs some fresh blood.

The emperor also encouraged Li Zhaoduo to get in touch with this new champion.

After all, the real test began after entering the court and becoming an official.

"Prince Jing is here?" Fu Xin stood up immediately after hearing this, and Little Mudan quickly tidied up her husband's clothes, and then went out to greet her husband together.

"Prince Jing also came to visit the humble house. If you feel lost, please forgive me."

"Where is it?" Li Zhao looks a bit old-fashioned, looks like he is in his 40s, but in fact he is only a young man in his 20s.

But at the same time, he is also very talented, I saw him stepping forward and embracing Fu Xin's arm, then walking towards the house very familiarly: "Meeting in private, Mr. Fu, why should you be so polite?"

Little Peony let go of her arms tactfully.

After returning to the house like this, he greeted everyone to sit down, Prince Jing Li Zhao seemed to be at his own home, just about to say a few polite words, but suddenly saw the crystal clear dim sum on the table.

He was born in the palace since he was a child, and he has eaten too many delicacies.

Delicious dim sum from all over the country has basically entered his stomach, but this is the first time he has seen such dim sum.

"What kind of snack is this? I don't think I've seen it before." Li Zhao asked curiously. He is also a person who loves to eat, so he was naturally curious about this kind of food that he had never seen before.

"This is..." Fu Xin opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know what this kind of dessert was called, "Prince Jing, please wait a moment."

Then Fu Xin called the servant in the mansion to inquire again.

When Chen Nian brought the dim sum over just now, did he say what it was called?

But the servant shook his head: "Go back to grandpa, I don't even know."

"I don't know?" Fu Xin was helpless, waved the opponent back, and turned to look at Li Zhao: "I don't know what this kind of snack is called by Lord Jing, but I have tasted it with my wife before, and it is indeed very good. "

Li Zhao became even more curious at this moment: "Then where did you buy this?"

"My lord, I didn't buy this dim sum, but a friend of the next official just sent it, but he went back after delivering it. If the lord likes it, Fu Xin will ask about it tomorrow and buy some and send it to the palace. " Fu Xin explained.

But Li Zhao didn't say much after hearing this, but picked it up and tasted it.

"This taste..."

"Is this made of fruit? But it seems that it's not just a kind of fruit..."

"Delicious!" He kept nodding while eating the new marmalade.

After eating a piece, it feels very fresh in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste.

So I couldn't help but reached out and took another piece.

Then he just kept eating one piece after another, and it didn't take long to finish eating all the new mincemeat cakes sent by the old age.

He didn't react until after eating.

Apologetic expression appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, sorry, these cakes are really delicious. I just couldn't hold back after eating one... How about this, Mr. Fu, where is this pastry shop? I'll go buy it again some back."

"No need, no need, just eat it if Prince Jing likes it, just some pastries, I'll go find friends to buy them later when I'm an official."

Fu Xin quickly waved his hand.

The other party is the prince, the person closest to His Majesty today.

If it is true, with my current status, I am not worthy to sit at the same table with the other party.

"How can I do that? I didn't mean to be joking. If you come to your house as a guest, you are a guest. How can you pass by so lightly after the guest has finished eating the food from the host's house?"

Li Zhao said seriously: "Master Fu, please tell me where the store is. It may be too late for me to go now, and I really want to meet the master who can make this typical."

Seeing Li Zhao like this, Fu Xin knew that he probably loved talents and wanted to bring him into the mansion.

Li Zhao's house has already gathered a lot of cooks, all of whom have eaten the food made by the other party and found it delicious, and then paid a lot of money to invite them to the house to keep them.

But Fu Xin knew that Chen Nian didn't like that kind of restrained life, otherwise it would be too easy to obtain prosperity and wealth with Chen Nian's talent, obviously he could rely on that handsome face and many already overflowing He has talents everywhere, but he chooses to sell tofu.

Now come to sell dim sum again.

At the beginning, I climbed walls and trees with him to go whoring in the theater for nothing.

Thinking of this, Fu Xin couldn't help saying: "Since Prince Jing wants to go and have a look, I should tell you the address here. However, my friend is used to being idle, so he might prefer to be a wild crane. I hope Prince Jing will not make things difficult for him."

After Li Zhao heard this, he couldn't help looking at Fu Xin in surprise.

Fu Xin is the new champion, but even so, he is just a small official who has just entered the world.

It stands to reason that he should behave wisely and protect himself as he usually does, strive to improve himself, and try not to offend others as much as possible. Even if he wants to offend, he must definitely take the national court as the main point and express his position.

But at this moment, he told himself not to embarrass him for the sake of a pastry seller.

But hearing this, instead of going, he appreciated it a little.

"Row."

Then Fu Xin told Li Zhao that Chen Nian was at the dim sum shop.

Li Zhao nodded, then hurriedly left in a carriage.

In this way, I came to Fuchunfang.

Since he didn't want to be too ostentatious, he chose to let the carriage wait a little farther away, and he only took a follower and walked over.

Soon he saw Lu Ke who was selling dim sum in the dim sum shop.

Looking at the dazzling array of pastries, Li Zhao nodded: "It really looks good."

But after scanning around, he found that the pastry he ate just now was not on display.

So asked:

"Shopkeeper, I want to ask if you sell the kind of pastries that look crystal clear, taste sour and sweet and are full of fruit flavor?"

Hearing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but see it.

It is also obvious at a glance that this person is well-dressed and a rich man.

But this is not the point, the point is what the other party wants to buy.

Listening to his description, isn't that the new mincemeat cake that I just delivered to Fu Xin's mansion?

Why is this person coming to buy now?
Could it be that Fu Xin took this pastry out?
Li Zhao also didn't want to reveal his identity, so he said bluntly: "I ate it at a friend's house before, but I finished it very quickly, so I asked his address, and then I found this place."

When Chen Nian heard it, he was indeed Fu Xin's friend.

After Lu Ke heard the other party's words, he also looked at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian walked up to the other party at this moment: "We don't sell this pastry now."

Li Zhaotian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and the followers behind him wanted to stand out when they heard this. After all, this is a prince. If he had a high status in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, besides His Majesty, he might be Prince Jing.

As a result, this person sent pastries to Zhuangyuan Mansion on the front foot, but he said he would not sell them on the back foot?
Isn't this watching people order dishes?
But he was forced back by Li Zhao calmly with his eyes.

"If that's the case, then next time I will..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Nian suddenly said: "No, I haven't finished talking about this young man. We only made this pastry. Now we are eating it ourselves. I just sent some to my friends, but this pastry Since the son is my friend's friend, then we are friends."

After speaking, go directly to the back and pack up all the remaining high points, divide them into two and put them in front of the other party.

"My lord, you said that you finished eating the pastry at my friend's house, so you came to buy it, and there are two copies left. I wonder if you can bother me to send one to my friend. As for the other one, I will give it to you." Give it to the son."

"How can I not give money?"

Li Zhao didn't want to take things from the common people for nothing in his own capacity, not to mention that he was not short of money.

But Chen Nian didn't care about it at all, and said coolly: "If you open a shop for making money, you will be inferior. Although we are in business, we are all friends. In the future, even if my sister and brother do not work in Chang'an Business is over, but the friendship between friends will not fade away, the so-called bosom friend in the sea is like neighbors in the world, hahaha."

"Best friend?" Li Zhao couldn't help repeating the word.

"Yeah, although you can see that you are rich and powerful, my son, but you like the pastries in our shop, then you are my confidant, Mr. Chen."

"Hahaha, well said!" So Li Zhao didn't make any excuses, and after thanking him, he left with the new marmalade.

"My lord, how can he be your best friend? He is just a commoner."

"Grassmen? Do you think ordinary grassroots can be friends with champion man? Caomin can make Fu Xin treat him as his own?"

The entourage kept silent.

Ask the coachman to make a special trip to Fu's mansion again, and give the pastry to Fu Xin: "Master Fu, your friend is quite interesting, but today I wanted to stay in Fu's mansion for one night and share with you Let's have a good talk, but now I have to go back to the palace to eat this pastry, and we will meet again tomorrow."

"Congratulations to Prince Jing. Tomorrow, I must serve you with good wine and good food."

"Hahaha, no need, simple tea and light meals are fine."

After finishing speaking, he left Fu's mansion, got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

The reason why he insisted on going back today was to give the emperor a taste of this delicious pastry.

His Majesty has lost his appetite recently, maybe eating this novel pastry can whet your appetite.

But sitting in the carriage, looking at the pastry in his hand, he suddenly remembered the two words Chen Nian said just now.

"A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world?"

"What a poem!" He slapped his head, regretting that he hadn't noticed it before!

It seems that those who can be friends with Fu Xin and get Fu Xin's sincere approval are really not simple people.
