Chapter 213 Surname Wen
If the food and wine served with this wine are not the braised pork and vegetables from Xia Ji Braised Meat Shop, then what is the meaning of this wine and food?
“Glutty!” Wu Xiong stretched out his hand and said, “I have been thinking about this stammer all day long, and I have no future at all.”
“Think about it for a moment, and I will This Xia Ji has been protected, are you afraid that you can’t eat it without the braised food?”
Yes!
The person who originally asked the question suddenly realized.
They protected Xia Ji, so Madam Xia owed them a favor, and a braised meal was definitely indispensable.
Maybe in the future, they will not have to queue up to buy braised chicken gizzards or braised chicken hearts, which are delicious but difficult to buy due to the small quantity.
Wow, it’s so beautiful just thinking about it!
He is protecting this Xia Ji!
Here, after Lu Qiyan left Sifang Gambling House, he headed all the way to the county government office.
At this time, the county magistrate Pei Chenghe was already lying down.
I have just sorted out a lot of official documents and planned how to report my work to the governor at the end of the year. At this time, Pei Chenghe's face was tired and his head was swollen.
I just closed my eyes, feeling a bit like I was wandering in my soul, but the boy next to me shouted from outside the door, "My lord."
"What's the matter!" Pei Chenghe was a little angry when he woke up.
"Someone is looking for you outside, sir, saying that he needs to see you for something important." The boy answered truthfully.
"Who is it?" Pei Chenghe's head was buzzing more and more, "At this hour, just say that I have gone to bed and let him come back tomorrow morning."
"But sir , He said his surname was Wen," the boy hesitated.
"What's wrong with the surname Wen? This surname is Wen, so we have to let people sleep. This surname is Wen..."
Wait, surnamed Wen?
Pei Chenghe suddenly jumped up from the bed. Without even putting on his coat, he put on his shoes and went to the door. He opened the door with a bang, "Where is the person?"
——
When Lu Qiyan returned home, it was already the end of Haishi.
Xia Mingyue was waiting in the main room. When she saw Lu Qiyan coming with a chill all over his body, she hurriedly poured him a bowl of hot tea.
Lu Qiyan drank half the glass and said, "I have agreed with Brother Wu Xiong that he will make arrangements. If there is something that Brother Wu Xiong cannot solve, just send someone to me. Send the message, I will be back in time.”
"Yeah." Xia Mingyue nodded and breathed out gently.
She was worried about Zou Fuquan's plan to target Xia Ji, but before everything happened, too much worry would become internal friction.
Xia Mingyue understood this and stopped talking too much about this matter with Lu Qiyan. She just cleaned up and went to sleep again.
But knowing the truth is a truth, and the emotional and subconscious worries still make Xia Mingyue sleep uneasy, so that when she wakes up in the morning, Xia Mingyue wakes up earlier than usual.
Lu Qiyan also got up early, took the horses back from the carriage house, and started to pack his things.
His own baggage was as simple as ever, a change of clothes and a water bag.
Xia Mingyue prepared a new pair of cotton shoes for Lu Qiyan, a fur-collared cloak that could withstand the cold wind, and some portable meat pies.
In order to prevent the meatloaf from getting cold on the way and affecting its taste, Xia Mingyue specially wrapped it in several layers of cage cloth and wrapped it in several oil paper bags.
There are two small oil-paper bags in the oil-paper bag, one containing water and the other containing quicklime. Before leaving, use a needle to pierce the oil-paper bags of water and quicklime respectively. The two mix to generate heat, which can Make sure the patties are warm and easy to warm. Xia Mingyue felt that this oil-paper bag served two purposes and was very practical, so she simply made a few more and bundled them together into bundles for Lu Qiyan to tie under his cloak.
After finishing all this work, Xia Mingyue made a simple breakfast.
Blanch spinach in boiling water and chop into fine pieces. Stir together with eggs, flour, water, and salt to form a fine batter. Spread on a griddle to form thin spinach and egg pancakes.
The roasted yuba and mustard shreds previously pickled by Xia Mingyue are used as side dishes, and the soup is fermented egg drop soup.
The pancakes are soft and chewy, the mustard shreds are crisp and refreshing, the fermented egg drop soup is rich and delicious, the glutinous aroma is full of wine...
Lu Qiyan had a big appetite and ate a lot before setting off. Slip round.
Even because he was a little too full, Lu Qiyan hesitated for a moment before going out. Instead of getting on his horse immediately, he held the reins and prepared to walk to the city gate, waiting for the food in his stomach to digest for a while.
Xia Mingyue sent Lu Qiyan to the entrance of the alley.
"It's windy outside, you should go back early." Lu Qiyan paused and said, "If something happens, send someone to look for me immediately."
"Okay." Xia Mingyue In response, he just watched Lu Qiyan lead the horse away before walking back.
After returning, franchisees from all over the place came to pick up the goods they needed for the day according to the time.
Regarding the Zou Fuquan incident, Xia Mingyue considered that it had not happened yet, and if she said too much and spread it, she would be easily bitten by him, saying that she was spreading rumors and slanders, so she did not say it clearly, but only reminded, "As the New Year is approaching, there are people everywhere. It's not very stable. It's hard to guarantee that some people have evil intentions and want to extort money and eat for free. People come and go, so please be more worried."
"Brother Wu is worried about Xia Ji's business. During this period, more people will be sent to look after Xia Ji everywhere. You don't need to be too afraid. When something happens, just say it and it will be done.”
If it really doesn’t work, report it to the official.
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Madam Xia, for reminding me." Everyone thanked them repeatedly, and they were also grateful for Wu Xiong and others' willingness to help take care of the business. They discussed that they should not let these people do their work in vain, and should It's good to express it.
Apart from other things, you still need to take care of meals. You have to fill your stomach before you can do anything, right?
Xia Mingyue saw everyone discussing here, so she did not stop them. She only asked Jiang Zhuguo to make discounts and add some zeros when calculating the money needed for supply during this period.
Zou Fuquan came here for her to take care of the expenses of Wu Xiong and others. There is no need for the franchisees to bear everything.
The sun is rising. Except for the breakfast stalls, which are closing down as business ends today, Xia Ji everywhere is starting to set up stalls to do business.
After briefly checking the general situation of the central kitchen, and telling Lu and Jiang Zhuguo to take good care of it, Xia Mingyue went out.
Sifang Gambling House and Wu Xiong's home are both in Dongcheng District, while Central Kitchen and her are in Xicheng District. Xia Mingyue feels that the food stalls in Nancheng District and Beicheng District are most likely to be targeted at this time.
Xia Mingyue thought for a moment and walked south first.
The sun is getting higher and higher. It has been sunny for two consecutive days, and most of the snow on the ground has melted. In addition, many people have entered the city since the twelfth lunar month, and there are gradually more pedestrians on the street.
Xia Kee food stalls, food carts and Xia Kee Braised Pork Shop are doing business as usual and are prosperous without any abnormality.
Xia Mingyue stayed at Xia Ji on South Street and Xia Ji on North Street for a while. Until after lunch, all the food stalls had been closed, and all Xia Ji was still quiet.
