Border Cook

Chapter 287 Youth League
"Yueran Restaurant, give me three bowls of leftovers!"

Leftovers?

Still three bowls!

Does this mean that the food and wine at Buyun Tower are not good, and all the food they cooked is left over?
Third, do you want to curse that Buyun Tower will be disbanded sooner or later?

Tsk tsk, it seems like Yueran Restaurant hates Buyun Tower so much!

The onlookers were all in an uproar, and most of them were watching how Buyun Tower would respond to the blatant provocation from Yueran Restaurant.

However, Manager Ge, who had rushed over after receiving the news, had a calm face and did not show any panic at all. He first bowed to the onlookers, and then bowed to Yueran Restaurant.

Then he cleared his throat and said loudly, "Buyun Tower opened today, and Yueran Restaurant came to congratulate us. This is a good intention, and we at Buyun Tower appreciate it. I would also like to take this opportunity to say something to Shopkeeper Zou of Yueran Restaurant. Leftovers are the signature dishes of Yueran Restaurant. We at Buyun Tower do not have them. I am really ashamed."

"But since Yueran Restaurant has sent a gift, it would be inappropriate for Buyun Restaurant to not reciprocate. So let's send a portion of our newly made roast duck and one tael of silver as a return gift. This way, Shopkeeper Zou can have a taste of our Buyun Restaurant's cooking skills and stop eating leftovers from our restaurant every day. Secondly, Yueran Restaurant is a little tight on money right now, so we can give these to our brothers to have a good meal."

As soon as Manager Ge finished speaking, his subordinates quickly prepared the food as instructed and delivered it to the door of Yueran Restaurant.

This action made Zou Fuquan, who was watching the situation on the third floor of Yueran Restaurant, so angry that he pounded the table again.

The purpose of sending some leftovers was to disgust Buyunlou.

As a result, Shopkeeper Ge actually caught the flying knife he shot with his bare hands and threw it back.

Now, Yueran Restaurant will face an embarrassing situation.

If the gift is not accepted, others will complain that Buyun Tower accepted the gift and returned the gift, which was very polite, but Yueran Restaurant was so impolite, which was really inappropriate.

But if he accepted it, what he would give to Buyunlou would be leftovers, and what Buyunlou would give back would be fresh dishes and a bunch of money, which would just confirm those sarcastic words of Buyunlou, which was really frustrating.

At once……

Everything is wrong!

Zou Fuquan understood this, and those who were watching the fun saw through this even more. Now they were all waiting to see what Yueran Restaurant would do.

But no matter what you do, you can't avoid being laughed at by them.

After all, if things like grudges were to be discussed privately, it would be fine if everyone knew about it, but when such a big event like the opening of a business was exposed, it was a trick played by others...

Tsk tsk, if the laughter is not loud enough, it would be unworthy of the disgusting thing that Yueran Restaurant has done!
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Manager Ge no longer cared about what Yueran Restaurant was going to do. He simply returned to Buyun Tower and continued to attract guests to come and support and congratulate him.

Xia Mingyue, who was busy in the kitchen, also laughed out loud after hearing what happened earlier.

It turns out that Zou Fuquan is not a smart person.

She also laughed that she had found a pretty good partner.

This kind of thing can be handled calmly, and some daily emergencies that occur in Buyun Tower in the future will naturally be no problem. It will become inevitable that Buyun Tower will have a prosperous business.

In the next few days, Buyun Tower was full of guests every day.

As for the orchard, Guo Kanglai came over.

"The orchard has received many visitors who came to appreciate the flowers recently. The peach blossom cakes and pear blossom cakes sent by Lady Xia are also selling very well and are often out of stock. Some people even keep asking whether these peach blossom cakes and pear blossom cakes will be available for sale in the future, hoping to buy some."

"I just asked a question first, but I didn't say anything final. I even took the opportunity to pre-sell some peaches and grapes. I just need to wait for the fruits to be ripe and delivered to your door."

Guo Kanglai's face was full of excitement. He handed the account book in his hand to Xia Mingyue, "This is the income and expenditure during this period. Madam Xia, please take a look."

Xia Mingyue took a look and saw that the orchard had earned a hundred taels of silver in addition to the deposit for the fruit. She was quite happy. "The weather is getting warmer. It will rain more frequently after May. Remember to check the houses. If there is any damage, help repair it in time."

"Guys, you have been working hard these days. You should give them some money or some rewards. This way, everyone will be more motivated."

"Yes, I've made a note of it." Guo Kanglai readily agreed, and pointed to the two large bundles of green grass under his feet, saying, "This is the first-grown mugwort in the orchard. It has just grown up and is the freshest. Madam Xia can put it in the house, or dry it and make it into a sachet. It is the best to repel mosquitoes."

Mugwort can also be used as medicine. After drying, it can be used for moxibustion, etc. It is very suitable for daily care.

"Thank you, Manager Guo, for your concern." Xia Mingyue looked at the two large bundles of fresh mugwort, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Wormwood...

Seeing it reminds me of some food!
Xia Mingyue was thinking about it in her heart, and she started to take action after Guo Kanglai left.

The first step is to pick the young leaves of mugwort, blanch them in salt water, rinse them twice, and grind them into fine mugwort paste with a small stone mill. Then, knead it into dough with glutinous rice flour, starch, lard, boiling water, sugar, etc., relax it for a while, and divide it into small pieces.

Roll the fillings mixed with black sesame, peanuts, sugar, lard, etc. into balls, stuff them into small pieces of wormwood dough that are rolled into steamed bread, and tighten them into round balls little by little.

When the water boils and it takes about the time it takes to steam for a cup of tea, the steaming green rice dumplings are ready to go. Brush them with a thin layer of cooked oil while they are still hot to keep them fresh. They can be kept at room temperature for two or three days.

The green dumplings were placed on the plate one by one, and Xia Mingyue picked up one and tasted it first.

The skin is soft, tender and chewy, with an excellent taste and a strong aroma of mugwort. The peanut and black sesame filling inside is mixed with lard and sugar. It tastes fragrant and sweet. After being steamed at high temperature, it flows along the tongue into the mouth. It has a thick texture, rich flavor and is extremely delicious.

not bad!
Xia Mingyue felt that the result of this attempt was pretty good, so she asked Jiang Zhuguo to share the finished green rice dumplings with others to taste, while she continued to make the remaining green rice dumplings.

In addition to peanut and sesame fillings, Xia Mingyue also prepared delicate red bean paste, sweet and delicious mung bean paste, and salty and fragrant salted egg yolk.

The fillings are different and the taste is different when you eat it, but no matter which kind of green rice dumpling it is, it is all soft and delicious, with a wonderful taste and is extremely delicious.

The most important thing is that even if a lot of lard and white sugar are added to the green rice dumpling, it tastes very fresh and not greasy because of the amaranth mud added to the skin. Instead, it tastes better and better the more you eat it.

"I can't stop at all!" Mao Sanli muttered in frustration as he looked at the empty plate.
