Chapter 227 Seize
As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving in time. You can taste fresh food when you come here to discuss business. Why not?
Shopkeeper Ge naturally agreed, "I will follow what Madam Xia said."
"Shopkeeper Ge and Brother Wu will wait a moment." Xia Mingyue got up and entered the kitchen, leaving Jiang Zhu Take out the bunch of sausages that you just cooked.
After letting it dry for a while, Xia Mingyue cut the sausage into slices with a knife.
The knife used was the one made by Lu Qiyan. The blade was extremely sharp and very easy to use. The sausages cut out were thin and even, without damaging the shape of the sausages at all.
After the thin slices of sausage were cut and placed on a milky white porcelain plate, Xia Mingyue simply mixed a sauce with minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, and served them together. Main room.
The oval-shaped sausage slices are arranged staggeredly like petals on top of each other, which is pleasing to the eye. However, the heat of the sausage slices has not completely dissipated, and the hot steam rising up is carrying a rich aroma. Drilling into a person's nostrils will draw out all the greedy insects in the person's belly.
Shopkeeper Ge knew that Xia Mingyue was very good at cooking because he had tasted Xia Ji braised food and some of the food at Xia Ji food stall. He was full of expectations at this time and didn’t wait for Xia Mingyue to say hello. It was the chopsticks that were moved.
The meat sausage has a chewy texture on the surface, and the meat particles in the intestine are clearly defined. Once you take one bite, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of meat. It is very enjoyable to eat. Even without any seasoning, it is quite delicious.
If you dip it in some sauce, it will relieve the oil and greasiness, and it will have a unique flavor.
“Ms. Xia’s craftsmanship is indeed excellent.” Shopkeeper Ge opened his mouth to praise, but the chopsticks in his hands did not stop at all.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
All the sausages soon went into Shopkeeper Ge’s mouth, but he didn’t notice this, only when he stretched out his chopsticks again , nothing was caught, and then I realized that the sausage had been completely eaten.
But...
When Xia Mingyue brought it up just now, it was clearly piled full, and it looked like the weight was really quite a lot.
Has it been eaten by him now?
How big is his appetite?
Shopkeeper Ge couldn't help but look at Wu Xiong and questioned with his eyes.
It must be your kid who finished it, right?
Wu Xiong, "..."
He didn't even move his chopsticks, okay, how could you accuse him so unjustly?
I am very wronged!
Seeing Wu Xiong's confused face, helplessness in his eyes, and a look of wanting to defend himself, Shopkeeper Ge finally accepted the fact that he seemed to be a foodie, and only coughed lightly, "Ms. Xia This sausage is really delicious.”
I can’t get enough!
"Since Shopkeeper Ge likes it, I will take these back first." Xia Mingyue took out some of the sausages that had just been made and were being dried, put them all into a small bamboo basket, and gave them to Shopkeeper Ge.
He also explained that it is best to dry the sausage overnight and then steam it tomorrow, as well as some precautions when steaming it.
Wu Xiong is a rough man. When he heard that there were so many things to pay attention to, he frowned, "It's so troublesome..."
"It's troublesome, I'll listen to it." Very." Shopkeeper Ge rolled his eyes at Wu Xiong angrily.
I don’t even have the patience to cook properly, but I still have the nerve to say that I am a foodie. Don’t insult the word “foodie”!
Then, he smiled at Xia Mingyue and said, "I have written down everything Mrs. Xia said. I will do what Mrs. Xia said when I get back."
Listen to what Xia Mingyue said, this meat The intestines can not only be boiled directly, but also sliced and fried. Speaking of which, in the past two days, his servants found some large fresh winter bamboo shoots for him. The ones stewed in oil are the most delicious. This sausage has a lot of meat and oil, and it is absolutely delicious when fried together. double!
When I thought of this, Shopkeeper Ge was a little impatient, but he also felt that the meat sausage in the bamboo basket was not very heavy, and some of it might not be completely satisfying. After hesitating for a moment, he simply felt relieved. She said shamelessly, "If Madam Xia is still making sausages these days, can you save some for me?"
As expected, no one can resist the charm of five-spice sausages.
Xia Mingyue was so happy to be recognized for her craftsmanship, with a smile like a flower, "I will definitely leave some for shopkeeper Ge." The unavailable meat sausages are used as souvenirs for friends and family during the New Year.
Now she has to work with Shopkeeper Ge to plan the opening of the restaurant. Shopkeeper Ge is naturally the only one who needs to deliver meat sausages to her.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue agreed readily, Shopkeeper Ge became even more happy. He just stood up and handed over to Xia Mingyue, "Let's not disturb Madam Xia's busy work and leave first."
"Shopkeeper Ge, walk slowly, brother Wu, walk slowly."
Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo sent them out together.
Shopkeeper Ge and Wu Xiong walked out of Xia Mingyue's house, walked all the way to the street, and walked slowly eastward.
Wu Xiong helped Shopkeeper Ge carry the small bamboo basket, his brows still slightly furrowed.
Today, Shopkeeper Ge called him to come to Xia Mingyue's home, but he did not mention in advance that he and Xia Mingyue would open a restaurant together. Therefore, Wu Xiong suddenly had this idea for Shopkeeper Ge at this time, and felt that Somewhat unexpected.
"Why did the shopkeeper suddenly think of opening a restaurant?" Wu Xiong asked softly.
"Although the gambling den is profitable and what we do is not an illegitimate business, this kind of business is somewhat shady and cannot help the master to win over people. Many times, the master is even embarrassed to mention it."
Shopkeeper Ge said, "So starting from the first two years, I wanted to find some other business to do for my master, but I didn’t have the opportunity. Now, with Mrs. Xia, I have the opportunity.”
Not only. With excellent cooking skills and a certain background, no matter who he is, he can compete with Yueran Restaurant.
With his joining, the restaurant will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. It can be said to be an excellent opportunity.
It must be held firmly.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't it mean that we are completely at odds with that Yueran Restaurant?" Wu Xiong was a little worried.
He is a rough man, not very smart, but he also understands that there are many factors involved behind the business, and if he is not careful, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Even if I don't open a restaurant, wouldn't Zou Fuquan still regard me as a thorn in his side?" Shopkeeper Ge disagreed.
After the last incident at Yueran Restaurant against Xia Ji, Zou Fuquan had already blamed Sifang Gambling House and even the entire Ji family for everything, so he might as well do something else. At least, besides offending the Zhao family, there was still something gained.
Furthermore, things in the officialdom may seem harmonious on the surface, but privately there are undercurrents surging. They are nothing more than competing interests. How can there be so much friendship?
The benefits that are captured are the most real.
Shopkeeper Ge narrowed his eyes, "You still have to negotiate the purchase of the shop as soon as possible in the past few days, and be sure to discuss everything."
"Yes." Wu Xiong responded hurriedly. Down.
