The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 15 Evergreen Restaurant

Made homemade tofu, minced meat tofu, fried tofu with shallots, tofu and vegetable soup.It's a pity that there is no spicy seasoning at this time, so I can't make the taste she wants.Tang Dai made one, and the shopkeeper Ouyang and a few chefs stood by and finished one, praising each other.Seeing the foodies, Tang Dai was speechless for a while.

Tang Dai thought about it and cut the meat again. Since she decided to win the cooperation of this restaurant in one fell swoop, she couldn't do it without some ruthlessness.So she is going to make Dongpo pork.This Dongpo pork is not the ordinary Dongpo pork in the previous life. It is the signature dish in the most high-end restaurant that has been researched and secretly prepared by generations of the Tang family.

After explaining the reason to shopkeeper Ouyang, shopkeeper Ouyang cleared out everyone in the kitchen, leaving Tang Dai alone in the kitchen.The shopkeepers outside, including Mrs. Li and Tang Jue, waited anxiously.

Sitting there stiffly, Tang Jue felt uncomfortable sitting there. He had never been to the town, let alone such a luxurious restaurant in the county seat.The shopkeeper Ouyang saw that the two were cautious, so he let them drink water and eat snacks, and chatted with them about homework without saying a word.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Tang Dai came out of the kitchen holding a tray. On the white blue and white plate, there was a large square piece of meat with bright red color and fragrance on top of the green vegetables, which looked very attractive. .

The tray was placed in front of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper Ouyang squinted his eyes and smelled the aroma, took the chopsticks and put the meat in his mouth.Only then wiped his mouth and sighed: the taste is mellow and juicy, crispy but not broken, fragrant and glutinous but not greasy.

Sigh again and again, the world is delicious, the world is delicious!The rest were also tasted by the chefs, who were equally amazed.

"I wonder if shopkeeper Ouyang is satisfied? Is this business still possible?" Tang Dai asked while looking at shopkeeper Ouyang with a smile.

Seeing that Li Shi and Tang Jue were cautious, they reached out to get a snack on the table for them, and signaled them to eat snacks and drink water, don't be restrained.He also took some snacks, bit them carefully, took a sip of tea, and waited for shopkeeper Ouyang to speak.Tang Jue looked at it, followed Simei's example and ate some snacks and drank water.

"Please sit down on the second floor, Miss Tang." The shopkeeper Ouyang was shocked in his heart that a little girl had such a skill, but at the same time, he hid the tail of the old fox without putting on airs, and stretched out his hand to ask Tang Dai to go to the second floor to talk about things.

Good tea and snacks have been prepared upstairs.

"To tell you the truth, Miss Tang, I'm very satisfied, please ask the girl to make an offer." There is no need to say anything, let's get straight to the point.

"As I said before, the tofu recipe comes with no money, and the tofu is twenty cents a catty. The Dongpo pork I made later, I won't hide it from the shopkeeper. This is not an ordinary recipe. I accidentally cooked it. The secret recipe I got, because the family is in a difficult situation, I sold it for 150 taels of silver. How about it?" Seeing that the other party was straightforward, Tang Dai didn't hesitate, and directly asked for the price.

The shopkeeper Ouyang hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, opened the door and asked Xiaoer to bring a pen and paper, wrote the agreement, and both parties signed it.Tang Dai also wrote down the recipe of Dongpo Meat, noting the key points, and gave it to the shopkeeper Ouyang.

"The shopkeeper Ouyang has to teach the cooking method of Dongpo meat to a proper person," Tang Dai pointed out.

"Miss Xie Tang reminded me!" Shopkeeper Ouyang also thought of it and nodded.He called Xiao Er to come up again, and ordered to go to the kitchen to weigh the tofu.

"By the way, ask Master Chen to come up." Xiao Er answered, and went downstairs.

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man in his 40s with a thick shoulder and a simple and honest face walking in. "Boss, are you calling me?"

"Miss Tang made a dish of Dongpo pork today, and you tasted it too. Now that she sells her secret recipe to restaurants, you must learn it!" He said and gave him the secret recipe.

Master Chen was taken aback for a moment, and was overjoyed.He hurriedly took the secret recipe, carefully read it several times, and raised his own questions, Tang Dai also answered them one by one, and the two discussed for a long time.Seeing that it was almost done, Tang Dai bid farewell to shopkeeper Ouyang.

Shopkeeper Ouyang went out for a while, brought a black cloth bag, and handed it to Tang Dai. "Tofu is 49 catties, even fifty catties, twenty Wen a catty, exactly one tael of silver. A total of 150 taels."

"Thank you, shopkeeper Ouyang, for being so considerate. I wish your restaurant business to a higher level." Tang Dai took a look at the cloth bag, and inside lay a 100 tael silver note, five ten tael silver ingots, and another one tael of silver. It's broken silver and a box of snacks. I'm heartbroken, and I sincerely thank the shopkeeper.

"Miss Tang, you're welcome. We'll be working together for a long time in the future." Shopkeeper Tang sent Tang Dai downstairs with a smile on his face.

After going downstairs, Tang Dai brought Mrs. Li, Tang Jue thanked Ouyang shopkeeper again, and said goodbye to come out.A load of water buckets had already been placed on Tang Wangwang's ox cart, and Tang Wangwang had already driven the ox cart over. Hearing that Tang Dai was talking with the shopkeeper, he sat in the ox cart and waited.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sorry to trouble you for waiting so long." Tang Dai apologized when she saw Tang Wangwang.

"Just wait for a while, it's not a big deal, sit down and go back, is the tofu sold?" Tang Wangwang didn't care, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, the shopkeeper is so talkative, I want them all!" Tang Wangwang and Mrs. Li saw Tang Dai's innocent appearance, said the shopkeeper was so talkative, shook their heads and laughed.No one is easy to talk to!
On the street, Tang Dai saw that there was a noodle shop, and everyone had been hungry all morning, so she asked Tang Wangwang to stop the car.

"Mother, grandpa of the village chief, I made money today, and I invite you to eat shredded pork noodles."

"Don't waste your money, kid, go home and eat." Tang Wangwang waved his hand, a bowl of shredded pork noodles cost ten yuan a bowl.Mrs. Li was also a little distressed, but seeing that the village chief didn't say anything together, Tang Jue was already hungry and swallowed the smell of noodles.

In the end, at Tang Dai's insistence, one of them ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles and added a poached egg to Tang Jue.Tang Wangwang thought while eating, this family knows how to be grateful, and it was worth taking care of a little before, but this is another food delivery and a treat for noodles.Glancing at Tang Dai again, this girl has changed a lot after a fall, she even dares to negotiate business with the shopkeeper of the restaurant!
After eating, Tang Dai saw that there was a cotton candy seller in the distance, so she bought one for Tang Jue. Tang Jue sat in the car with a happy face, and slowly licked the cotton candy with some reluctance. This is the flavor of cotton candy!

"Grandpa Village Chief, do you have any soybeans at home?" Tang Dai, who was half asleep and half awake in the rickety car, suddenly remembered that there were no soybeans at home.

"Yes, there are quite a few, do you want?"

"Well, if the tofu in the restaurant sells well, I still have to continue to make it. My soybeans are gone. When the time comes, I will go to yours to buy some?"

"Okay, when you want it, you can just buy it from your auntie osmanthus." Tang hoped to drive the ox cart seriously after returning.

Tang Dai fell asleep on Li Shi's lap again, but was still woken up by Li Shi when she got home.After closing the courtyard door, Tang Dai took out the cloth bag and the money and snacks inside.

The family stared again! "One hundred... 150 taels?!" Li stammered in disbelief, as did Tang Feng, and Tang Jue jumped up.In comparison, Tang Hua was much calmer than these few because he saw Tang Dai earning money last time, but his eyes were also full of shock.

"150 taels is for selling vegetable recipes, and one tael is for tofu money. Mother, you take it." Tang Dai calmly pushed the bank notes and silver.

"Little girl, there is too much money, you should keep it, mother dare not!" Li Shi hurriedly shook her head, blushing from excitement and looking silly.

"Mother, don't you dare? There will be more money waiting for you in the future!" Tang Dai said with a smile.Mother is so cute!

Mrs. Li insisted not to accept it, but Tang Dai had no choice but to put it away by herself.Just in case, Tang Dai carefully put the silver ticket and five silver ingots in a small jar and buried them in a corner of Li's room.Put the broken silver outside for later use.

"Brother, I still need to use the stone mill I borrowed. How about going to that one to buy it? It's too late to ask a stonemason to make one."

Tang Feng agreed, and took the silver to buy a stone mill.After the arrangements were made, Tang Dai felt at ease, and just waited for the reaction from the Evergreen Restaurant!
