Jinghua little cook

Chapter 31 Tomatoes

The night wind blows and the lights shake.

The grand gathering of the Buddha Bathing Festival came to an unsatisfactory end.

After accepting the hard-earned money, and holding the town house conch given by the temple, Lu Xiling was exhausted, and accompanied Dou Sprout to watch the excitement from the afternoon until the evening.

The street lights of the temple fair are a must-see.

But after wandering around, Lu Xiling felt that the lantern festival in the city that never sleeps was just that, and it wasn't very interesting.

After all, it is still the sense of sight of a large blind date venue.

It's all a gimmick!

Passing by the fortune-telling booth, Bean Sprout stopped and grabbed Lu Xiling's sleeve.

"A Ling, when will our store open?" Lu Xiling's fat little finger pointed: "Here, do you want to open on an auspicious day?"

"No hurry, we will open when we finish the delivery."

Fortune-telling is also a gimmick!

Lu Xiling took her fleshy little hands and walked back.

If there is no good day and auspicious day for a year, can't you still make money?

Lu Xiling made a final decision.

Simply, open the day after tomorrow!
It's different from the restaurant next door.

Because the shop had been in the pastry business before, many old customers have stayed in the shop over the years. After Lu Xiling took over, the shop's customer flow has reached a new level.

Even though it has been changed to a restaurant now, everyone enjoys the joy of gluttony. After a little promotion, the first batch of crabs will come.

The red paint on the menu board had long since dried out, and the faint sunlight came in through the window lattice, reflecting the oily warm light.

For private kitchen dishes, the quality is not the quantity, and six fine dishes are enough to revitalize the restaurant.

The four tables and chairs in the main hall were arranged neatly.

The bar next to the counter is equipped with three high stools.

Don't get me wrong, it's not for sentiment and taste, let alone for the convenience of diners.

Actually like Lu Xiling.

If only the actual area of ​​the house was too small, she had to squeeze out the last bit of space utilization.

Unexpectedly, after this fiddling, I discovered that there are quite a lot of lonely gourmets.

It's time to open for business.

Those who come in can sit at the bar first, one is to look fresh, and the other is to be able to chat with the store while eating.

"What is Little Perfection?"

There were only two people in the restaurant, Lu Xiling was in charge of one dish, and Bean Sprouts had to be pushed to the front desk.

The little girl slipped her tongue a lot more than before, imitating Lu Xiling's omnipotent sentence pattern and replied with a smile: "The guest will know as soon as he eats it."

Afterwards, some diners asked how the mushroom stewed rice was and what the walnut cheese tasted like, and the bean sprouts also answered them one by one.

"The sweetness and sourness are moderate, and the connotation is rich. I didn't expect the dishes to be so exquisite!" The guests sitting at the bar were surprised.

"This thing looks a bit like a lion's head."

The guest on the other side shook his head after hearing this: "It doesn't look like it to me. The lion's head is greasy and the gravy is thin. After two bites, it becomes greasy. The soup of Xiaoyuan is rich, and it tastes much more refreshing."

"What the hell is this?"

It's a tomato!
The diners outside the bead curtain were discussing enthusiastically, and the corners of Lu Xiling's mouth in the kitchen were raised.

Unexpectedly, the ancient foodies are also cute party.

Although tomato is a common ingredient, most of the dishes on the tables of the ancients were filled with soup and water, and the chance of serving it as a main dish is better than none.

Diners do not recognize the truth is reasonable.

What's more, Lu Xiling's skillful craftsmanship kept only the shape of the persimmon, but hollowed out the inside and stuffed it with shrimps, mushrooms and other ingredients, leaving the persimmon only for a while.

Coupled with quicksand soup, anyone will be confused after eating it at first.

Lu Xiling smiled triumphantly, she didn't intend to solve the mystery of this dish so early, she wished that the discussion in the outer hall would be more lively.

It's best to spread word of mouth, so that tomatoes can rise to the popularity that Internet celebrities should have.

If the people's taste buds and curiosity are mobilized in this way, can they still resist coming to check in?

Impossible!

Facts have proved that it depends on Lu Xiling rather than doing gimmicks.

With Xiao Yuanyuan leading the way, diners lined up at the door the next day to try a bite of the popular dish.

Bean Sprouts, who had just started business, almost dropped its jaw.

Thinking of the marketing methods in front of the stalls in the previous life, Lu Xiling suddenly felt that she was superficial. Maybe it was not intentional hunger marketing?
Lu Xiling suddenly thanked herself for being stingy and lazy. If she hadn't used the recipes in [Ancient and Modern Chinese and Foreign American Recipes], maybe the foodies would go crazy.

"What should we do?" Bean Sprout was a little panicked.

What else can I do, send a number plate of love.

The love of foodie is too warm.

Fortunately, in this life, Lu Xiling has a lot of patience. She would rather not earn a day's money, and the preparation work is done properly.

The handwritten hairpin notes were handed over to the diners one by one.

The rules are also set: call your number to eat, and you will not wait after the expiration date.

Among the diners, some people lamented that this method is very good, left and right are for eating Xiaoyuan, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, just go for a walk first.

Others feel sorry.

Those who go to court and go to work can't afford to wait.

Regarding this, Lu Xiling also apologized and said with a smile: "It's because the hospitality in the small shop is not good enough, the nobles should take care of you, and if you want to eat in the future, please inform the shop in advance, so the humble shop must prepare it early."

This is what it means to be able to book.

In this way, a large wave of customers was divided into several regular waves, and it was with great difficulty that Lu Xiling kept the petty bourgeois atmosphere in the store.

But she didn't want to, even if she was all-rounder and made the guests happy, there were still friends who came to the door to find trouble.

When a group of noble ladies appeared in the store with Bai Fengzhi in their arms, Lu Xiling was cutting mushrooms in the back kitchen.

Bean Sprouts hurried in and said happily, "It's the princess! It's the princess! The princess has come to check in at our shop!"

Learn new words and use them indiscriminately.

Lu Xiling looked sad.

I'm afraid the little princess is not as simple as clocking in, but finding faults is the real thing.

With the reservation system, many guests who are not short of money and like quiet are willing to book private rooms in advance.

Lu Xiling looked through the account books and found that a servant of an official's family did come to order food yesterday afternoon.

"Wu Siye's family..."

Lu Xiling had heard a little about the knowledge of this family, but didn't know anything else.

However, since it was the people from the Wu family who made the decision, it was not the little princess who invited her to come.

Thinking of her being taught by Nanny Li...

Lu Xiling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"A Ling, the guests upstairs invite you to come over."

Panasonic's anger just raised his throat again.

Lu Xiling suppressed her nervousness and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

This problem is strange.

In the past few days since the opening, many of the guests have finished eating and are eager to see the proprietress, and many of them are happy to talk and spend a lot of money.

Every time Ah Ling comes back with silver in her hands, she looks like a mountain bear that has eaten honey.

Why are you so dull today?
Bean Sprout was stunned for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "Are you afraid of seeing the princess? Don't worry, the princess looks sweet and speaks politely. She won't make things difficult for you."

Bean Sprout's smile almost cracked to the ears.

"I don't know how much money the princess can reward us. I look at her clothes, and she seems to have a lot of money compared to the Second Highness!"
