Border Cook

He Shunzi asked Jinbao to hand over the snow skin mooncakes and fried hemp leaves with a nervous mood.

When Jinbao got the fried hemp leaves, He Shunzi opened his mouth again and again, but finally swallowed all the explanations and words he wanted to say in advance.

You have to believe in Madam Xia.

It’s like believing that there are miracles in this world!

When Jinbao saw the fried hemp leaves, his eyes widened. He opened his mouth to ask He Shunzi something, but when he saw He Shunzi nodded vigorously, he swallowed all the questions in his mind.

Since it can be delivered to Dexinyuan, it must taste different.

After thinking it over again and again, Jinbao gave the two things to Manager Fu with some trepidation.

Manager Fu: "…"

"Is this really the fresh food that He Shunzi brought from Madam Xia?"

"That's right." Jin Bao nodded vigorously.

"But this fried hemp leaf..." Steward Fu scratched his ear, "Isn't it a little too ordinary?"

"I originally thought so, but since that Madam Xia made fried hemp leaves and He Shunzi brought them to me so solemnly, maybe they have their own intentions?"

Jin Bao said, "Who knows? The ingredients used in the fried hemp leaves are hard to find. They are different from the usual ones, and the taste is also very different?"

He couldn't come up with anything else.

Manager Fu fell silent upon hearing this. He stared at the fried hemp leaves for a long time before finally bringing them to the old lady.

No matter what, death is death.

Anyway, I got scolded last time, so this time won’t matter.

Steward Fu thought so, and when he handed it over, he was very careful, with a smile on his face, "Old Madam, this is the new food, please try it first, if it doesn't taste good, I will change it for you."

I didn't mention the word "ordinary", I just hoped that the old lady wouldn't recognize it and maybe she could eat it for fun.

The kitchen also had newly made chestnut cakes, made from fresh and ripe chestnuts in autumn. They were delicate and sweet, and although they were a bit common and the old lady often ate some of them, they were more reliable.

When Madam He saw the hemp leaves on the plate, she immediately laughed, "Isn't this hemp leaves? It's a common food in the countryside."

was recognized.

Manager Fu became more and more nervous, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he opened his mouth to explain.

But the old lady picked up one and took a bite. She said "hmm" first, then ate a small hemp leaf in three or two bites, and then picked up the second one.

Only after she ate three in one go did Mrs. He say, "It's still as delicious as ever."

"No, it's even better than what I've eaten before." Madam He pursed her lips, savoring the salty and fragrant taste of the hemp leaves, and smiled, "When I went out for an outing with the old master, I happened to see a farmer selling this, so I bought two to eat. At the time, I felt that although it was monotonous, it had a unique flavor. Later, when I chatted with the old master, I often mentioned this matter."

"More than 20 years have passed in a flash. Now when I eat fried hemp leaves again, I find them even more delicious."

When Madam He said this, her face was full of smiles, and her eyes looked even deeper, as if she was lost in long and happy memories.

After a long time, he picked up another piece of hemp leaf, and while eating it, he looked at Manager Fu, "It's amazing that you put in so much effort to find such food." In the past two days, he had been worried that the old lady would continue to be angry because of the cook's matter and would be very picky about the food. He never thought that he would smile at this moment and be full of praise.
Steward Fu was flattered and rubbed his hands repeatedly, "As long as the old lady likes it..."

After receiving the old lady's praise, Manager Fu immediately found Jinbao and told him about the matter.

Jin Bao also breathed a sigh of relief, and even sighed, "He Shunzi is still reliable in doing things."

"It's more than safe," said Steward Fu, "it's too safe!"

From now on, no one can replace He Shunzi in his job at Dexinyuan without his order.

And there is Madam Xia Mingyue, whose cooking skills are really good. In the future, I have to ask He Shunzi to buy more food from Madam Xia more often.

Just as Manager Fu was chattering about these things to Jinbao, someone came to report that they had found a few available cooks and asked Manager Fu to go over and take a look and select some.

Aren’t these difficult problems being solved one after another?
Don't panic about everything, you need to deal with it slowly.

Manager Fu consoled himself, smiled and raised his hand, "I'll go right away."

On the other hand, Jin Bao informed He Shunzi that day that the crispy hemp leaves were approved by the old lady, and also explained what Manager Fu had repeatedly reminded him of.

He Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to the rest of the matters. He even went to look for Xia Mingyue again the next day.

"Ms. Xia is truly amazing!" He Shunzi gave Xia Mingyue a thumbs up.

It was with this most common crispy and fragrant hemp leaves that he won the old lady's favor.

"It's not a god, it's just luck." Xia Mingyue answered modestly, "But since the old lady ate well this time, I can let go and do it in the future."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it."

If you say you can do it freely from now on, you must have been a little restrained before that.

Even with limited hands and feet, he was able to make so many delicious foods and please the old lady. If he puts all his efforts into it in the future, how much more delicious food can he make?
He Shunzi looked forward to it more and more, and his eyes and eyebrows were invisible when he smiled.

After seeing He Shunzi off, Xia Mingyue was thinking about what to do for Old Madam He of Dexin Garden in the future, while she was busy with the snack cart.

As the weather gets colder, product replacement is urgent.

Considering that it is the transition period between autumn and winter, Xia Mingyue decided not to completely remove the cold pot skewers for the time being, but only add oden first.

The bone soup base used to cook skewers previously has become very light and delicious after Xia Mingyue's several adjustments and improvements. With this soup base, whether it is used to cook vegetarian skewers or meat skewers directly, it tastes fresh and delicious without adding any seasoning.

Just use this soup base and place a bamboo grid on top of the clay pot to separate all the skewers.

Just take whatever you need, put it in a paper cup, and scoop two spoonfuls of hot bone broth. Eat it while it's steaming hot and take a couple of sips of the light and delicious base soup. It's a great enjoyment in this increasingly cool autumn day!
The cold pot skewers are still soaked in flavor. When customers come to buy them, they can just count the skewers, pay for them, and take them away.

There are two options, and neither will interfere with the other's business.

Xia Mingyue spent a few days renovating all the Xia Ji cold pot skewers snack carts in Jinqiu County, even replacing the signs with new ones.

There are signs on both sides, one side says Xia Ji Cold Pot Skewers and the other side says Xia Ji Oden.

As for the transformation of the snack stall category, Xia Mingyue also upgraded the types of oden skewers, adding a few more to the original ones. (End of this chapter)
