Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 93 Da Song’s First Bowl of Haggis Soup
There are many ways to make five-spice powder. Li Ce remembers that when he was a child during the Chinese New Year, his grandfather made it when he was marinating sauced meat and sausages.Grandpa is a Chinese medicine doctor, and many condiments are actually medicinal materials. He has been familiar with these things since he was a child, but the specific matching ratio is not very accurate.

Soon Chen Er found dry goods such as star anise, tangerine peel, cumin, pepper, pepper, etc. according to Li Ce's instructions, and then took a small amount of each according to Li Ce's instructions, put them into a garlic mortar and crushed them into powder.Li Ce collected all kinds of powders, and then he estimated the ratio and slowly blended them, and slowly tasted the best ratio. After half a stick of incense, Li Ce finally smiled and said: "It's done."

When Li Ce was blending just now, Chen Er had been watching. Seeing that Li Ce looked like a delicacy, he couldn't help but also dipped a little bit of it with his hand and put it in his mouth.

"Ah, bah, bah!" Chen Er blushed instantly, sticking out his tongue and spitting out non-stop, "Ah, I'm so hot, I'm so hot." They were all amused by him.

Li Ce laughed, then turned to the cook, Lao Yang, and said, "Master Yang, go and cut some mutton into slices, the thinner the better, you know my knife skills, hehe... don't take it out to shame .”

Master Yang muttered in his heart: Could it be that he wants to cook?This little uncle looks like a scholar, how can he cook?If so, why can't you even cut meat?Although he was confused in his heart, he didn't hesitate at the hand, and started to cut the meat as he said.

I have to say that Lao Yang's craftsmanship is really good. He cut out a plate of mutton slices in the blink of an eye, and it is as thin as the ones made by machines of later generations. , those viscera, wash them, and cut a little."

When he said this, everyone looked at him like a monster, and the cook Lao Yang said: "Those are pickled things, boiled indiscriminately and fed to dogs, why did you cut them up?"

Li Ce said in embarrassment: "That...is it just thrown away? What a waste."

Yu Xian'er felt a little ashamed, she quietly tugged at the corner of Li Ce's clothes and said, "We don't need to save that little money..."

Li Ce looked at her blushing, and looked at everyone's contemptuous eyes, laughed and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not that stingy, this is called "shui shui", it's really edible, and it's quite delicious, so you can enjoy it after a while Got it." He couldn't help thinking: I've never had haggis soup, how pitiful...

Lao Yang had no choice but to carefully and carefully clean some of them, chop them up and put them aside.

"Well, now it's the same as you usually cook broth, just cook it." Li Ce instructed from the side.

Lao Yang had no choice but to let him toss about it once. According to his advice, he put the sliced ​​meat and water into the pot, added green onion and ginger and started to cook. Li Ce picked up a few peppercorns and threw them in.Xiao Li, who was doing odd jobs at the side, pulled the bellows vigorously, and the water boiled after a while.

Li Ce pointed out: "It stands to reason that it should be stewed slowly, but today's time is short, so let's do it first, Chen Er, go and serve a bowl of soup."

Chen Ersheng came back with a bowl, frowning, the smell was a bit pungent, Li Ce smiled helplessly when he saw his uncomfortable look, reached out to take it, he took a spoon to taste it, and frowned He said to himself: "Well, it really is very smelly."

Then he added some self-made five-spice powder into it, and the pungent smell of mutton was reduced a lot. After stirring, it was replaced by an unconcealable scent, which was a little spicy and very evocative. human appetite.Li Ce scooped up a little more to taste, and everyone looked at him suspiciously.

After Li Ce swallowed, he nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that my craftsmanship is still very good."

"Come on, second son, try it." Li Ce pushed with a hand.

Chen Er hurriedly waved his hands vigorously, Li Ce stepped forward and said, "Come on, try it, it's delicious."

Chen Er had no choice but to take it reluctantly. He tentatively scooped up half a spoonful, frowned and stuffed it into his mouth with his eyes closed.He tasted the five-spice powder before, and it didn't make him spicy, and the mutton soup was so stinky. When the two are mixed, who knows what this bowl of soup tastes like, alas, but my uncle asked me to drink it, and I couldn't help but drink it , die and die!
Chen Er closed his eyes and took a sip, then he was taken aback suddenly: Huh?Something is wrong.His tense face instantly relaxed, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked down at the soup in the bowl, a little unbelievable, quickly took another sip, and swallowed slowly, this time there was surprise on his face, he blinked, and He tentatively scooped up a piece of offal and tasted it, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's so delicious! My uncle is really amazing!"

Seeing his surprised look, Li Ce just smiled and didn't speak, as expected.

When Lao Yang saw Chen Er's expression, he took the bowl suspiciously and tasted it. After swallowing it slowly, his wrinkled old face instantly glowed with brilliance. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Cedao in surprise. : "Young master really opened the eyes of this old man! With this... what kind of soup is this, why don't we have no business in Fenglou!"

Lao Yang has been cooking all his life, and he knows exactly what dishes diners like to eat. Food that can make cooks feel delicious, let alone ordinary diners, and the cost of this soup is extremely low. Water is the same, absolute profiteering!

Seeing that even Lao Yang was full of praise, Yu Xian'er couldn't help arousing her curiosity. She tasted it, but she frowned and said, "Why does it still smell like mutton?"

Li Ce knows that not everyone likes to drink mutton soup. It’s okay, I can cook other dishes. He smiled and said: “It’s hard to say, but there are still many people who like it. You see, it’s not the first time you drink it. Do you like it, let's make this haggis soup tomorrow."

On the second day, early in the morning, Chen Er gathered a large group of children. Yu Xian'er was wondering why Chen Er brought so many children back. Chen Er said mysteriously: "My uncle ordered this."

Li Ce brought a stack of papers and asked Chen Er to share some with each child, and then distributed some candies to each of them. Li Ce said, "You guys, just choose a place with a lot of people to distribute. After the distribution is over, there will be rewards when you come back." ,Understand?"

A group of children happily held the candies in their hands, and said in a childish voice: "Understood."

"Okay, let's go."

Yu Xian'er was puzzled, took a piece of paper, and saw that it said: Fenglou Big Bargain, today's top [-] diners, free within [-] cash!For those who come to dine, each person will be presented with a bowl of fresh soup with exclusive secret recipe, which is worth ten yuan.

You must know that according to the current prices in Zhending Mansion, a relatively good dish fried in a restaurant costs only ten yuan, and one hundred yuan can definitely be eaten very well.Seeing this, Yu Xian'er frowned and said, "The store has already been unable to make ends meet recently, so this will make things worse?"

Li Ce comforted her with a smile and said: "If you can't let go of the child, you can't be a wolf. How can you open the market if you don't spend some money? Don't worry, you can make it back. It's not unfair to spend this little capital. His strange remarks have attracted everyone's attention. I was confused, but I understood the last few sentences. To put it bluntly, it was just losing money and making money.

Not only Yu Xian'er, but also Chen Er and Lao Yang are a little skeptical. My uncle's words are too exaggerated, can they really bring the dead back to life?Looking at the notice written, it is quite tempting, and I don't know if it will work.

Li Ce moved a chair, sat under the awning at the door, brewed a pot of tea, made a plate of dried fruit, crossed his legs, hummed a little song comfortably, and found himself feeling like a landlord, haha...

Yu Xian'er saw his leisurely appearance from behind the counter, especially with his legs crossed, humming some kind of tune, vaguely hearing some kind of love, some kind of heart, and couldn't help but spit, this man really has nothing at all He looks like a scholar, so he is not ashamed, but he just likes him.

She was lost in thought, but found that Li Ce was sitting there, with his back turned to her and raised his hand. He was saying hello to her?Yu Xian'er blushed instantly. How did this villain know that he was peeking at him? She was so ashamed... She hurriedly lowered her blushing face and pretended to sort out the books.

It was almost noon, and the number of people at the entrance of the restaurant gradually increased, and finally the first person stepped into the Fenglou, holding a blank piece of paper, pointing to the words on it, hesitantly said: "Is it true? "

Chen Er had already greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Of course it is absolutely true, you are the first customer of the shop today, and you will be free within [-] cash!"

The visitor laughed happily, and suddenly turned around and ran out the door, shouting: "Really, it's really free." When he shouted, more than a dozen people rushed over, all waiting emotionally.

As soon as I heard that it was free, the doorway was full of people in an instant. There is really a free lunch these days.

The store quickly became busy, Fenglou had not had so many people for a long time, and as soon as Chen Er finished greeting this table, the other table couldn't wait any longer.Only the first [-] people are free, and those who are over [-] are naturally a little unhappy, so they start clamoring for the free delicious soup.

Li Ce looked around and the tables on the first floor were almost full. He estimated that it was almost there, and nodded. Xiao Zhou, who had been waiting for a long time, turned around and went into the kitchen.

After a while, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Li came out with a wooden plate, and there were bowls of haggis soup on the wooden plate, and the smell of meat was overflowing in the lobby.

"Well, well, it's really good, delicious, delicious." Soon the diners praised each other, such a delicious soup is free, let's have another bowl!
"Sorry, everyone, this soup, we only provide one bowl for free." Chen Er said proudly.

"Then I'll spend money to buy it, how much is a bowl?" Someone then shouted.

"Ten cents a bowl, but today, the soup made by the small shop has been distributed to everyone for free. It's not easy to make this soup. Tomorrow, we can only wait for tomorrow." Chen Erlian said flickeringly, while still He winked triumphantly at Li Ce.

Li Ce suppressed a smile and nodded at him. This kid is a malleable talent, and he is definitely a master at fooling people.

"Ah, we have to wait until tomorrow..." All the diners showed disappointment.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I have to wait until tomorrow, and I hope you all come to join us early." Chen Er said with a smile.

While Yu Xian'er was already anxiously waving at Li Ce, Li Ce knew what she wanted to ask, so he deliberately walked over slowly, Yu Xian'er pulled him into the kitchen and said anxiously: "This mutton soup is very easy to make. , since everyone likes it so much, why don't you sell it and wait until tomorrow?"

Li Ce looked cute at her anxious look, and said with a smile, "This is called hunger marketing. Customers' word-of-mouth and queuing up to buy are the best advertisements!"

Yu Xian'er stared at him with big eyes, puzzled in her eyes, Li Ce scratched her upturned little nose and said, "Don't worry, trust me, we will catch up within three days. The alum building is gone."
