Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 119
I directly found the local Hanzhong newspaper.

A newspaper might be able to help.

I called a rickshaw and quickly arrived at the newspaper office.

Went directly to the manager's office.

"Manager Qin, I want to put a missing person notice in the Hanzhong newspapers. My cousin is lost in Hanzhong."

"Sir, it would be better for you to contact the patrol bureau."

"I'm going to the patrol station too."

"Sir, this missing person notice is not the business of our Hanzhong newspaper. We will charge money."

"money is not a problem."

Bai Xiaowen doesn't value money very much.

People are more important.

"Mr. Bai, we are friends. There is no charge this time. I will make an exception and publish the missing person notice for you, which will be the front page headline in Hanzhong."

"Thanks."

"If Mr. Bai writes any other works, articles, novels or the like in the future, he must first consider Hanzhong. The remuneration is definitely of the highest standard."

The manager of Hanzhong News Agency knew Bai Xiaowen. He had met him once and knew Bai Lu's name.

"no problem."

"Also, this missing person revelation requires a portrait of the person. Do you have any photos?"

Bai Xiaowen replied: "No, I will draw one now."

Some of the two portraits had been given to beggars.

He immediately took out a pencil and blank paper from the space.

Start painting.

Bai Xiaowen has met her eldest cousin many times and has a deep memory of her appearance.

Start painting and try to restore it one to one.

The outline was quickly drawn.

Slowly fill in, not just the face.

The whole body is also drawn, including some details.

The people in the newspaper office were shocked by Bai Xiaowen's painting skills. They were exactly the same and much clearer than those taken in the photo studio.

Manager Qin asked: "Mr. Bai, now that we have the portrait, what about the content of this missing person revelation? How should we write it?"

"If you can provide accurate information, I will be rewarded with fifty oceans. If you send the person back, I will be rewarded with one hundred oceans."

If my eldest cousin was abducted by traffickers, there are also traffickers now abducting women and children.

With so much money, even the traffickers would be quite excited.

They can't sell it at such a good price.

Even for a girl with a higher quality, selling for dozens of oceans is considered a high price.What's more, Kuai's eldest cousin is already quite old in this era.

And more little girls, the general price is a few oceans, a dozen oceans, not worth much.Better quality will be slightly better.

After staying in Hanzhong Society for a while, Bai Xiaowen was ready to go to the patrol station again.

I drew a few more portraits of my cousin.

Just outside, I continued to find some beggars.

One person scattered a piece of the ocean.

It makes the beggars happy. I have never seen such a charitable person.

"Everyone, I have something to ask for your help. Everyone mobilizes their acquaintances to help find someone. Please help me. As long as I find someone, I will give you fifty oceans. If you bring me over, , I will give you a hundred oceans."

As soon as these words came out, the Beggar's Den was boiling.

Everyone is gearing up, and they will never encounter such a good thing in several lifetimes.

Not to mention that they had already taken a piece of the ocean without doing anything.

They have never seen such a wealthy man before.

"Master, don't worry, we will definitely mobilize all the brothers to find him."

These beggars are also organized.

There are organizations in every walk of life.

Like a rickshaw, there is a driver.

There is also a union for bag bearers.

Beggars also have their beggar organizations.There are several managers in an organization.

I painted a lot more pictures.

"Please keep these paintings, brothers. Please."

Money can turn the devil around.

Once the money is in place, everyone can do things for themselves.

All you have to pay is money.

I plan to stay in Hanzhong for a while and go back after finding my cousin.
We found a restaurant and had a meal.

The food in Hanzhong is also good.

It is considered a big city, more prosperous than Zishui County, but not as good as the provincial capital.

This meal took a long time.

Several people burped.

Bai Xiaowen prepared a lot of portraits and asked some team members to search for them separately.

Suddenly the shopkeeper came over, "Sir, are you looking for someone? I think I have seen the woman in the portrait, and she stayed in our store for one night."

Bai Xiaowen chatted with him for a while.

I know that my cousin has been to Hanzhong.

But now it has disappeared, and there is no news.

The shopkeeper also provided relatively little information.

The customer flow of this hotel is okay and the location is good.

The hall is bustling with guests.

At this time, a guest came in.

Before waiting for the waiter's greeting, he found a stool and sat down.

The waiter asked, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Here's a fashionable dish, deep-fried ice skates."

"What did you say?"

The bartender was a little confused. He had been working here for more than half a year, but he had never heard of this dish.

"Aren't you deaf, let's have a deep-fried ice skate."

The bartender was completely dumbfounded and could only find someone.

"Shopkeeper, the customer over there wants fried ice skates. It seems that he is here to find fault."

Fried ice cubes will turn into water, and anyone with a discerning eye will know that they are here to find fault.

His face was not very good either.

They run restaurants and encounter a lot of dirty things.But the most important thing is that the food in the store must be good, so that it can retain customers.

It's not easy to drive people away.

If there is a real fight, it will have an impact on other guests.

The man started to shout again, "Why, such a big restaurant can't even make such a small dish?"

The attitude is very arrogant, obviously wanting to cause trouble.

The most annoying thing about doing business is that some gangsters come to make trouble, and this one may be sent by a colleague.

They paid a certain amount of protection fees to the gangs to avoid being disturbed by some members of the public.Be able to do business well.

"Why can't you really do it? Then your restaurant isn't that good."

Just to mess things up, obviously.

Ready to call the bartender to drive people away.

However, Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "Fried ice cubes, okay, just wait a moment, I'll do it right away. The shopkeeper can borrow the kitchen."

The shopkeeper knew that Bai Xiaowen was the battalion commander through the chat he had just had. He was curious about what he wanted to do and did not dare to stop him.

"Captain Bai, are you kidding me? It's enough to drive away a scoundrel like this, but following him will make things worse."

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, "It's okay."

All we can do is wait and see again.

It's winter now, the winter of March [-]st.

Winter in the northwest is very cold.

There is indeed ice outside.

Randomly picked a thick piece off.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any flour?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

"Of course there is."

The shopkeeper could only choose to cooperate with Bai Xiaowen.

Compared with gangsters, a military commander is obviously more annoying.

Restaurants are bound to have staples like flour.

Bai Xiaowen found a basin.

Put ice cubes in.

Added more flour.Apply a layer of ice cubes.

"Now it can be deep-fried, the flour on the outside is crispy, and the ice cubes inside will not melt completely."

Bai Xiaowen put the things in the boiling oil.

As soon as it was put in, I bought milk powder and fried it until golden, and quickly fished it out.

Put it back on the plate.

Passed it to him.

"Look, fried ice cubes, an ocean."

The man who came to make trouble looked at Bai Xiaowen and couldn't believe that he could really make this dish that he was talking nonsense about.

That was too amazing, he didn't believe it anyway.

"Is this fried ice cubes?" He looked disbelieving.

The people at the next table all gathered together to watch the fun.

Just a little listening to know what happened.

Someone came here to find trouble, but I didn't expect to make fried ice cubes.

"You will know if you taste it."

Bai Xiaowen looked at him and said, "Give me the money first. This dish is more expensive, one silver dollar."

He has to suffer. If he doesn't give him money, he won't be able to get out of the restaurant.

He chewed in disbelief, and sure enough, there were ice cubes inside, still steaming.

"How, is it this dish?"

The man shook his head, he was just talking nonsense, but he did it, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Give me the money."

Bai Xiaowen looked at him with a ruthless expression.

Business people cannot be too tolerant of bad customers.

The diners next to him also chimed in.

"Everyone has done a good job, give me the money."

I was considerate of my boss.They all support teaching him a lesson.

At this moment, several team members at Bai Xiaowen's table also stood up and gathered around him, putting tremendous pressure on him.

It gives people a strong sense of oppression.

This piece of ocean, it seems that if you don't give it, you won't be able to get out of this door.

I could only take out a dollar from my pocket.

"Give you."

After giving the money, he left in despair.

The shopkeeper quickly apologized to everyone present, "Everyone, I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's meal. Everyone, please continue. This time, all meals will be discounted."

The guests didn't care and looked at it happily.

I felt even more comfortable when I heard that there was a discount. I saved a little money and felt like I had earned it.

Everyone else left to go.

Bai Xiaowen is still in the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, are there many things like today?"

It's not easy to do business. It would be too bad if people like today come here to make trouble.

"It's not bad, we bumped into him today. It's most likely someone from the restaurant opposite. They are also a big restaurant but they don't have the capacity to accommodate people."

The two are very close to each other, and they will have the same source of customers.Business will be somewhat affected.

If their restaurant business is pretty good, they will definitely be jealous of their peers.

A lot of overt and covert methods have been used.

Businesses in all walks of life have tricks.

I don't pay attention to improving myself, but I care more about how to kill my peers.

"Shopkeeper, what are those things?"

"Some chickens, ducks and geese went into the water and were prepared to be lost."

The internal organs are difficult to dispose of and have a strange smell. Their restaurants will not accept these offal.

Bai Xiaowen: "Can I use the kitchen again?"

As a battalion commander, the shopkeeper did not refuse.

Bai Xiaowen planned to earn as much as he could, and thought of a way.

These dirty things in the water should also be quickly disposed of using space capabilities.

An attempt was made immediately.

It really works.

It is very convenient to pass some dirty things through the space and then put them out.

Increase the speed even more.

If there wasn't someone else here, the speed could be even faster.

"You go boil some water."

Very quickly, all the mess was cleaned up.

So much, if it weren't for the space ability, it would probably take at least several hours.

The water in the pot began to boil.

First put 5 pounds of pork leg bones and half a hen inside, blanch them first, and put them directly into the pot.

There is about forty kilograms of water in the pot, and it will probably weigh thirty kilograms after boiling.

Make a pot of brine.

Now the memory of future generations is getting deeper and deeper.

I remember all the ingredients and recipes that I have only seen once.

Make a try based on the brine recipe.

Ask the team members to go out for a run.

We have prepared all the ingredients, including star anise, cinnamon bark, strawberries, kaempferol, cloves, fennel, angelica, white buckwheat, tangerine peel, licorice, bay leaves, dried shiitake mushrooms, Sichuan peppercorns, etc.

Bring ginger and cooking wine to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam and simmer over low heat.

Wait quietly, and after four hours, filter out all the bones and meat residue, leaving the old soup for later use.

Start adjusting the brine, add the spices, add the old soup and simmer for an hour to get a pot of brine.

Start adding braised pork.

Pork, duck, mainly that bag of unwanted offal.

The guard was watching.

"Captain, this smells so good."

It's the kind of braised pork sold at street stalls in later generations.

The recipes are all new for later generations.

It hasn't happened this year.

It can be considered a new thing in the northwest.

"This is brine, braised meat. Use medium heat to braise fatty meat ingredients. The purpose is to let the fat meat produce as much oil as possible to prevent the final product from tasting greasy. Braise lean meat ingredients to low heat. The purpose is to reduce the ingredients as much as possible. Dehydration speed, so that the final product does not taste dry and woody."

"It is best to add sugar color in batches. Do not adjust the color in one go, otherwise the color of the final braised product will be very dark. The best coloring time for braised pork is after it is medium cooked, so during the process of braised pork , Observe the color of the braised meat from time to time. If you feel that the color is not satisfactory, add a little more, and finally add it until the color is satisfactory."

The current pot looks pretty good.

Red.

The sugar color is very good.

It tastes delicious too.

Try a piece.

It’s not much different from the feeling on street stalls in later generations.

This is just the first pot of brine. The longer the brine gets, the more fragrant it becomes.The more marinated things, the better the taste.

Unconsciously, two hours passed.

The guard also tasted a piece of duck kidney.

He repeatedly praised: "Captain, this tastes so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food."

It does taste okay.

Mainly novelty.

Restaurant food actually tastes just like that.Maybe for some people's taste, it is better to eat braised pork.

Bai Xiaowen: "Shopkeeper, please try it."

The shopkeeper also tried it.

Everyone praised.

He didn't expect it to be so delicious even in the water.

As a hotel manager, he immediately thought that the water was very cheap, even free of charge. If it were all done, it would be a business without a capital.

Bai Xiaowen: "Shopkeeper, I want to cooperate with you. I'll teach you the recipe of this brine. Just give me [-]% of the profit. In addition, you can also help me with my cousin's affairs."

Three achievements is enough. This is Hanzhong. I will definitely not hang out in Hanzhong. I can make some money.

The shopkeeper immediately agreed, mainly because of Bai Xiaowen's identity.
