Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

Chapter 7

It was another evening, and a strong fragrance wafted from the courtyard where Yunmeng Residence was located.

The neighbors around were thinking, could it be that the shopkeeper Yun of Yunmengju has made some new dishes?
So, before it was time for dinner, many people stood at the door of Yunmengju and looked around, but they didn't see any movement after watching for a long time.

The sign at the door has not yet written the menu of today's new dishes, which means that it has not yet started business; Yun Gu's figure is not seen in the vestibule and lobby, which means that the dishes have not been prepared yet.

This is the rule that old diners have figured out these days.

In fact, they guessed very accurately, Chu Yunmeng introduced a new dish today.

For this dish, she has been preparing for two days.

As early as yesterday when she woke up, she soaked a whole five or six catties of soybeans, that is, soybeans, in clean water until they were harvested in the evening market.

Seeing that the soybeans were almost swollen, Chu Yunmeng didn't care about the exhaustion just now, so he started the fire again, put the soybeans in the cauldron and cooked them, and turned off the fire when they were half cooked.

In this way, it is possible to avoid soybean germination—although the probability of germination in such a cold weather is not high, and it can be prepared in advance so that the soybeans can be cooked more softly and rotten the next day.

It was also early yesterday morning that Chu Yunmeng went to the butcher Hu's place, cut a dozen catties of hooves, washed and dehaired them, and sprinkled them with salt to marinate them.

After one day and one night of marinating, the salty taste has penetrated into every inch of meat like a hoof.

After cooking in this way, it will taste more delicious, and it will not be as bland as water and taste like chewing wax like the one thrown in the hot soup in the big cauldron.

Waking up early this morning, Chu Yunmeng lit the fire, poured lard into the cauldron, put the hooves into the cauldron and stir-fried them in batches until the meat was fragrant, and immediately put them in a copper basin.

Stir-fried first and then stewed, the meat aroma contained in the hoof can be fully exerted.

After all the hooves had been rolled through the hot oil, Chu Yunmeng put all the hoofs into several large cauldrons, and at the same time poured in the water soaked with beans, simmered for a while on high heat, and then poured in the beans , simmer slowly.

After pouring in the beans, put the lid on the tripod and stew until the evening without lifting the pot.

The smell of hooves and meat in several tripods finally couldn't cover it, and it overflowed directly from the cracks in the pot lids, first overflowing the kitchen, then rushing out of the kitchen and floating into the courtyard, and then to the streets and alleys, and even adjacent streets and alleys.

The strong aroma finally attracted more diners.

Not only old diners are at the door, many new diners who have never been here are also attracted by the aroma, and stimulated by the crowd, they gather around Yunmengju.

All of a sudden, the surrounding crowd actually blocked the road in Lihua Lane, attracting the attention of the government.

When Song Yun arrived at Lihua Lane, what he saw was a large group of people surrounding Yunmengju, blocking the crowd who wanted to enter and exit from Lihua Lane, so that they had to take a detour.

And more and more spectators, seeing that group of people, also gathered around as if to join in the fun.

Song Yun frowned, held his token in one hand, and pulled away the people blocking the way with the other, and drove straight into Yunmengju, but saw that the vestibule and lobby were empty.

Combined with the direction of the fragrance in the air, Song Yun guessed that Chu Yunmeng should still be busy in the back kitchen.

Thinking of this, he simply walked outside Yunmenju, showed the token in one hand, and shouted: "Those who want to eat in Yunmengju, please line up in the front yard and wait for the table to open; those who have no plans to eat, please spread out and don't gather in the Block others in the middle of the road!"

After drinking three times in a row, the crowd finally began to loosen up, and they lined up in the vestibule according to Song Yun's guidance.

After Song Yun's command, the diners lined up in the courtyard finally took shape.

After making several bends and standing in a courtyard, the line is still not finished.In desperation, Song Yun had no choice but to guide the first few diners to sit in the hall, and the rest could not fit in, so they had to line up along the courtyard wall of Yunmengju, and finally finished.

Just after finishing her work, Chu Yunmeng came out from the back kitchen.

She was wiping her hands with her apron as she walked out, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw the guests in the hall and the people lined up in the yard like piles.

Song Yun frowned at Chu Yunmeng, and said solemnly: "Shopkeeper Yun, you should hire more people! These customers surrounded the outside, but they blocked the entire Lihua Lane..."

Chu Yunmeng was dumbfounded, and only then did he understand what happened, so he hurriedly saluted Song Yun: "Thank you Song Catcher for your help. Today, we have a new dish, Dou Kung Fu. We sincerely invite Song Catcher to taste it."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly went outside the door to write today's new dishes and prices, and then went to the hall to entertain diners and ask for their willingness to order.

Without exception, everyone ordered today's new dish, bean trotter, and other side dishes have their own preferences.

Chu Yunmeng hurriedly served dishes according to everyone's order, and within a quarter of an hour, one table was overturned.

Then, she used the fastest speed to serve the next diner, and repeated this, until the end of the Xu Dynasty, when all the diners were almost served.

Of course, during the interval of entertaining all the diners, Chu Yunmeng led Song Yun to the reception hall of the private house, served Song Yun a table alone, and waived all his fees.

After all the diners had dispersed, she found that Song Yun hadn't left yet, so she looked at him suspiciously.

Song Yun muttered for a long time, and finally said a word: "Shopkeeper Yun's craftsmanship is really extraordinary. No wonder he was so confident that day."

After finishing speaking, he smiled for the first time.Then he took out a bunch of copper cloth coins and said, "This is one hundred copper cloth coins. From now on, Mr. Song will eat all his dinners at Yunmengju. You can help me with the calculations. Let me know if there are not enough."

Then turned away.

Chu Yun dreamed of catching up, but she forcibly stopped her footsteps and polite words.

Forget it, he is also a loyal diner, but tonight's order was waived, and he will not be polite to him in the future.Big deal, for the sake of his constant help, give him a few more discounts and give him food for a few more days.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng put away the string of copper cloth coins and continued to prepare for tomorrow.

Looking at the best-selling situation of bean hoof porridge today, many people will definitely order it tomorrow.Fortunately, she had soaked the beans early today and marinated the hooves.

Today's unexpected situation and Song Yun's reminder also made Chu Yunmeng realize that she really needs help.

She did a simple calculation, and today she has served more than 100 diners; and because the bean trotters are time-consuming to make, the price has been raised a bit.The average amount of money spent on a meal per person is about 65 grimace money, and a total of about [-] grimace money is earned, which is equivalent to eight gold cakes.

Adding in the ten gold cakes she earned a while ago, and the one hundred copper cloth coins (about one gold cake) that Song Butou just paid in advance, she already has about twenty gold cakes in her hand.

This is more than enough to buy two male slaves and female slaves.
