A lucky wife born again from a farm family

After the Yuan family left, Liang Zhuzhu and Liang Dunzi also came. The two brothers came in a mule cart and brought many congratulatory gifts. These gifts are not only from the Liang family, but also from shopkeeper Feng of Changfenglou in Hukang County and shopkeeper Lin of Yongxinglou in Daxing Town.

"Today is the winter solstice, and the two shopkeepers are going to pay homage to their ancestors at home for the festival. They are too far away to come, so they asked us to bring the gifts. They said that after the winter solstice, they would come to Yanfu Tower for a good meal to cheer you up. "It was Liang Dunzi who spoke, while Liang Zhuzhu was carrying gifts aside.

Liang Zhuzi became a lot more honest after being hurt by Gu Jinli last time. This time, I didn't gain weight, but lost a lot of weight. I was no longer wearing brocade clothes, but the cotton jackets worn by wealthy people.

Gu Jinli saw this and nodded inwardly. Liang Zhuzi was a person who listened to advice and there was no problem in continuing to cooperate. If you don't listen to the advice and continue to be confused about your status, then don't blame her for being cruel.

After hearing this, Qi Panpan said: "Shopkeeper Feng and shopkeeper Lin are being polite. Their restaurant comes to the braised food shop every day to get goods. Everyone is already familiar with it. It doesn't matter whether you come today or not."

Originally, he and Daya thought it was not a good idea to open on the winter solstice, but Xiaoyu said that there was a big market in the town today, and many people would come to the town to buy things in the morning, so they could drop by their restaurant to buy groceries before returning. The opening in Winter Solstice is impressive, and it makes everyone know about Yanfu Tower.

Daya listened to Xiaoyu the most and agreed.

"Uncle Liang, go in quickly and eat something before going home." Gu Jinli said.

Liang Zhuzi was very happy when he heard this. When he came, he was afraid that Xiaoyu girl would scold him again and that he would lose his family's livelihood. When he heard her talking to him, he put aside his worries and said with a smile: "I heard that the pastries in your restaurant are very good when I first arrived in town." Okay, the food is not bad, I have to have a meal before going back.”

After Liang Zhuzi handed over the congratulatory gift, he followed Qi Pan and Qi Kangping to the lobby on the first floor for dinner.

During this period, Hu Dong's family in Futai Building in the county also sent a steward to give them congratulatory gifts.

When the steward of the Hu family saw the crystal osmanthus cake, his eyes widened with shock. He pointed at the crystal osmanthus cake and asked: "Is this a pastry? It is so crystal clear, as if flowers are blooming in ice cubes. .”

The person who received Mr. Hu was Qi Kangming. He smiled and said, "It's a pastry called Crystal Osmanthus Cake. If Mr. Hu likes it, I'll wrap up two packs for you and take it back."

Manager Hu naturally wanted what he wanted. After saying a few polite words to Qi Kangming, he followed Gu Dashan into the restaurant with his servant and sat in the lobby to eat.

When the dishes were served one after another, Manager Hu was even more shocked. He pointed at the dishes on the table and asked, "What are these dishes?"

Qi Kangming gave him the name of the dish: "This translucent meat is called crystal meat. It is made of pig's trotters. It is delicious and elastic; this kind of fried fish is called squirrel fish, which is delicious and festive; this is sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root." , Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Crispy Roasted Pork, Tai Chi Tofu..."

When Manager Hu heard the names of the dishes, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover: "Hey, why haven't you heard of these dishes?"

He knew meat, he knew fish, he knew tofu, he also knew lotus root, but after these things were made into dishes, he didn't recognize them all.

Qi Kangming said with a smile: "They are all side dishes made at home. They cannot be sold in the elegant halls. They are only sold in rural towns. They dare not bring them to the county town to make a fool of themselves. Of course, Manager Hu doesn't know about it."

The side dishes made at home cannot be sold in the elegant halls, and they can only be sold in small towns in the countryside. How can they live in Futailou?

Their Fu Tai Restaurant has been making roast chicken with lotus leaves as their signature dish for decades, but now every dish on the table is as good as roast chicken with lotus leaves.

Manager Hu picked up the chopsticks and ate the food with trembling hands. After eating, his hands were shaking even more: "It tastes great, and there's a fresh aroma... Do you put fresh fermented glutinous rice sauce in every dish?"

They are really rich. Their Futailou family has a big business, but they don't dare to put fresh fermented soybean sauce on every dish. A pot of fresh fermented glutinous rice sauce costs one or two silver. A pot of fresh fermented fermented glutinous rice sauce is very little, and it is enough to make six lotus leaf roasted chickens. They don't dare to ruin it at Futai Tower.

Qi Kangming smiled and said: "Put some in to increase the fragrance."

In fact, what was put there was soy sauce, and the soy sauce was made from small fish. Five tanks were brought directly to the restaurant, so you can use it as you like, no matter how much you put in it.

Manager Hu wanted to cry, "It's too embarrassing. The restaurants in the rural towns are even worse than the Futai Building in their county."

Looking at the table full of dishes, he couldn't sit still. He took out twenty taels of silver and said to Qi Kangming: "Boy from the Qi family, I'll order two tables of fine noodles for the banquet. Help me prepare them. I'll take them back to my host to taste." Taste, it’s a festival today, so it’s an added dish.”

Then he said: "Don't worry about the dishes. I'll ask the boy to buy them, and you can help me make them."

Qi Kangming smiled and said: "No, our restaurant has bamboo boxes to store dishes. Just use bamboo boxes. But there is an extra penny for each bamboo box."

Xiaoyu said that the bamboo box is also a way to make money. In the future, people in the village can make it to generate income.

Manager Hu pointed at the waiter who was packing in a bamboo box and said, "Is this a bamboo box? It's really ingenious."

Why didn't Futai Tower think of it?

In the past, when customers ordered banquets, they were delivered on plates, but many plates were broken, which was a big loss.

Qi Kangming nodded: "Exactly."

Manager Hu immediately said: "Sure, let's add money and put it in a bamboo box."

Qi Kangming nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen to tell the chef to make two tables of noodles.

All the side dishes were cut, and some were even semi-finished. It only took two quarters of an hour to prepare two tables of banquet noodles, put them in bamboo boxes, and tie them up with ropes, so they could be easily transported away.

When Manager Hu saw it, he said, "This method is indeed good. It is convenient and saves trouble." There were fewer dishes to wash.

Manager Hu took the dishes and gifts in return and hurried back to the county town with his servant, hoping to tell Dong Hu's family about Yanfu Tower. Hey, that food is delicious. If Yanfu Tower goes to the county to open a restaurant, where will their Futai Tower survive?

Not long after Manager Hu left, brother Liang Zhuzi also said goodbye and left. At this time, Gu Jinli knew that Liang Zhuzi had lost a few pounds because of a big quarrel with his wife's aunt's house.

Although the aunt loved his wife, she loved her own son Chang Kang even more. She originally thought that her son could open a shop and be the shopkeeper, but unexpectedly he failed. She cried and made a scene, and even incited Liang Zhuzi's wife and Liang Zhu Zhu and Li forced Liang Zhu to bow his head.

Liang Zhuzi's wife originally felt sorry for her aunt's family, but she listened to her aunt's words and went to stay at her aunt's house for a few days, intending to give Liang Zhuzi some color.

But after hearing that her aunt actually asked her to reconcile, she finally saw her aunt's true face clearly, so she didn't need to pick her up, so she immediately packed her things and returned to the shop.

But her aunt became even more angry when she saw this, and took the Chang family members to Liang Zhuzi's shop to cause trouble.

Liang Zhuzi is from outside, and this matter is his family matter. Outsiders can't help, and the shop was smashed into a state of disrepair by the Chang family.

Liang Zhuzi and his wife had no choice but to invite their mother-in-law. The mother-in-law went back to her parents' home to invite her brothers. The three families sat down and argued for a day. In the end, the Liang Zhuzi family compensated the Chang Kang family ten taels of silver.
