It rained for two days.
After the sky cleared, Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried their baskets and do ed their straw hats as they arrived at the garden. In the chilli field, the first crop of chilli peppers occupied about a fifth of the land, divided into three rows. The green chili tree was knee-high. Thin and long chilies hung from the branches, exuding a warm life force.
In one hand they carried baskets, and in the other they plucked them swiftly.
At this time, Tian Residence's school was still having lessons, the sounds of Lei Qinshun and the others reading aloud could be clearly heard. Everyone treasured this hard-won opportunity.
After class, Lei Qinzhong brought along Lei Qinshun and the others and ran over with baskets. After bowing to Lei Tia and the others, they picked the chilies together.
Qin Mian and Lei Tia returned with two baskets of chili, and went into their space to pick two baskets. Qin Mian instructed Lei Tia to remove, wash and mince a basket of chili peppers. After that, he added in the appropriate amount of garlic and salt and sealed them inside a clay pot that had been washed and drained of water. This was a simple chili sauce. It could be stored for a relatively long period of time.
Qin Mian even made some pickled peppers. Soak the chili peppers in a simple ma er. Wash the chili peppers and dry the water; wash the pickled vegetables in a pot. Pour in the appropriate amount of salt, sprinkle a little pepper powder, then pour in cold water. Then put the chili peppers in and add in a little white wine to seal them.
"My wife, since Aunt Fu is staying in the workshop, I want to buy another person." Lei Tia looked at the remaining chili.
Qin Mian only thought a few seconds before agreeing, "Buy. Just in a few days to go to town." After Aunt Fu had gone to the workshop, Tian Ju's original plan fell through. For example, he and Lei Tia would occasionally have to do the work in the garden themselves. If they had the ability, why didn't they let themselves feel better?
After waiting until the rice noodles reached over two hundred kilograms, Qin Mian and Lei Tia brought a hundred kilograms worth of rice noodles to the Shuangzhuan Restaurant.
The shopkeeper, Sun Mao Sheng, saw that the two bosses had brought something with them and guessed that they had a new dish.
"Manager Sun, how's your business?"
The smile on Sun Mao Sheng's face was a little forced, "Back to Young Master, the business in the restaurant is not bad."It's just that the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and it's getting worse compared to a while ago."
Qin Mian understood, the inadequacy of guest origin could only be a result of his Shuangzhuan Restaurant being damaged at the end of the day. He had considered this question before he built the tavern, and he had already come up with a solution for it. As such, his expression didn't change in the slightest, and he remained calm and collected.
Seeing that, Manager Sun was assured.
Lei Tia said to Qin Mian and then went to inspect the place.
When the weather gets hot, a few more cold dishes, pickles, or something like that." Qin Mian said as he walked in. As he walked past the great hall, he took a glance. He had purposely arrived around noon, and at this moment, there were still a third of the seats empty in the hall.
"I understand."This pickled vegetable?" Manager Sun's eyes lit up. Being able to be specifically mentioned by the Young Master was definitely extraordinary.
"Let's talk about this later. We need to launch a new dish today." Qin Mian passed over the long-prepared lottery box to him, "Today, Shuangzhuan Restaurant will host a lottery to thank the old and new customers. You get every guest at every table to take out a card from this box. The blank card is' Thank you for your patronage '."The wi ers, This Boss will personally make a new dish, 'Flowers in the Wind', and gift it to them." Actually, he said "ants up trees, " but he didn't think the name was elegant enough, so he changed it to "a bunch of flowers, " which was still a decent name.
Manager Sun could not hear anything from this name, but upon hearing that it was a "new dish", he became excited and immediately went out with the box.
Qin Mian rushed into the kitchen, and had the people use the boiling water to soak the noodles, and after a while, he heard the ruckus in the hall.
Very soon, a waiter came to report, "Table Number 12's honored guest has won the prize."
Qin Mian gestured for Chef Li to move aside.
The other three chefs then understood that the new dish would be taken care of by Chef Li. However, they were not jealous, because the dishes that each of them was good at were different. Furthermore, the Little Boss had always been impartial towards the four of them, and if he performed well, the Little Boss would even give them a few more dishes. It had to be known that this matter also affected their monthly commission.
Qin Mian rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands. Chef Li stood by the side and watched as he studied.
Qin Mian poured the marinated minced meat into a pot and stir-fried it with a bit of salt, liquor and soup. Then, he added the soaked shredded meat and stir-fried it with a bit of soy sauce before adding the scallion and stir-fried it in twos and threes to fill the plate with the stir-fry.
The waiter picked up the dishes and quickly delivered them to the twelfth table.
On the other side, a waiter was ru ing while shouting, "room number 4 of the private room!"
"Esteemed guests, the new dish 'Flowers in Flowers' has been delivered. Please enjoy!"
When the four guests at the twelfth table saw the noodle soup that they had never seen before, their expectations for the dish increased even more. They immediately moved their chopsticks and tasted it carefully, revealing expressions of satisfaction as they nodded their heads.
One of the elders could not help but praise, "Delicious!" This noodle like ingredient perfectly absorbed the taste of various flavors and the fragrance of the lean meat. It was soft, smooth and tender. It was also slightly tough and refreshing."Alright!"
When the other customers at the other tables heard this, they silently swallowed their saliva, venting that their luck was not good enough to fail the award.
A customer looked regretfully at the card in his hands that had the words "Many thanks to Master" written on it. The words "Shuangzhuan Restaurant" were written on top of the card. In the lower right corner, there was a very small, sneaky little mouse. It was a little strange, but he didn't put it to heart, and kept the card in his pocket. He called the waiter and asked in a hurry, "Lad, what's the price for this dish? Can you order it now? "
The waiter smiled warmly and amiably."Sir, this new dish has just been released today. We should at least give the chefs a chance to learn, right? However, our boss just said, tomorrow will be the launch of a delicious, full meal, the whole set of dishes are made of noodles. If you are interested, you might as well come back tomorrow."
He spoke in a loud voice, not just for this one, of course.
The rest of the customers were satisfied with the answer, but they did not know what to eat. They wished that the sky would turn dark soon.
When dusk approached, there were obviously more customers entering and exiting Shuangzhuan Restaurant. The majority of them came to inquire about the powders, and there were even two wealthy families that had reserved the powdered rice in advance. One had to know that a table full of rice noodles cost eight taels of silver! Not cheap!
Some of the regular customers who had decided to eat di er at Shuangzhuan Restaurant were still pestering the Manager Sun to also come for the lottery draw. As a result, at night, Qin Mian made another ten or so clumps of flowers, feeling extremely tired.
When the other restaurants and restaurants in the town saw this situation, they could only speak a few words of sarcasm, feeling extremely helpless in their hearts. If you can't compare, you can't.
After they finished the di er, Qin Mian carefully taught Chef Li a few dishes that were made from noodles. Chef Li had been a chef for more than twenty years and had a keen sense for cooking. As a result, he learned very quickly.
After teaching, Qin Mian asked him to make a serving of every dish for him to taste.
"How about Little Boss?" Chef Li wiped his sweat and asked nervously. In his heart, he respected Little Boss a lot. I heard that this kind of ingredients that I have never seen before?? the rice noodle was invented by Little Boss and Big Boss' house. As it was a new ingredient, even someone as experienced as him wasn't confident.
After Qin Mian tasted them one by one, his face revealed a smile, and nodded: "Not bad, if you get a perfect score of 10 points, you can get 9 points."
Chef Li had a relieved smile on his face."That way, I won't have to worry."
Lei Tia who had been quietly standing at the door finally spoke out, "Wifey, let's eat."
"He's coming." Qin Mian put down his chopsticks and quickly walked over. His stomach was growling with hunger.
In the lounge, there were three dishes and a soup on the table. An exquisite bamboo and wooden bucket filled with rice was placed on top of the table. There were also two bowls of rice that were already filled to the brim. Qin Mian could tell at a glance that it was Lei Tia who had asked the chef to make it for them in the small kitchen.
When he turned his head to see that there was no one at the door, Qin Mian heroically pulled Lei Tia into his embrace.
"You didn't eat either, right? "Come and eat." He pushed Lei Tia down onto the chair and sat down as well. He picked up his bowl and started to eat, "I'm starving to death."
"Slow down." Lei Tia picked up a piece of fish belly, picked out the big thorn and put it into his bowl.
"You eat too." Qin Mian gave him a piece of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs.
"Just now, I ate some fruits." Lei Tia scooped up a bowl of soup and used a spoon to stir it up, causing the heat to dissipate. His gaze stayed on Qin Mian and said again, "Slow down."
"En!" After Qin Mian finished a bowl of rice, his stomach felt slightly better, "You should eat too."
Lei Tia scooped up half a spoonful of soup and savored its temperature. Then, he pushed the bowl in front of his wife and picked up the bowl to eat.
Qin Mian smiled as he took a sip of the soup, scooped up a spoonful and gave it to Lei Tia.
Lei Tia looked at him and drank it all.
At night, the two of them rested as if they had returned home. Walking leisurely on the suspension bridge, the night wind blew in wave after wave, refreshing and comfortable.
"Wifey."
"Hmm?"
"Shuangzhuan Restaurant's new everyday course can indeed attract many customers, but since it's like this, you'll be very tired." Lei Tia said. Even though those dishes were written in his wife's book, there was no need for his wife to put too much thought into them.
"Don't worry." Qin Mian patted his shoulder, looked up at the stars, and said in a light tone, "I have a way, you'll know tomorrow. However, you also have your own matters to attend to." He turned his head and smiled at Lei Tia.
Lei Tia nodded, "I'll follow your arrangements."
Qin Mian tugged on his wrist, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go."Today, after a busy day, I'm covered in sweat. I'll go back and take a bath."
In the private room for two people on the third floor, the lights were already lit. The interior was clean and tidy, as if no one had ever lived there before. Qin Mian took off his shoes and socks, stepped on the floor with his bare feet, and rushed into the bathroom. With a "bang", he closed the door, and said, "Tia, I will wash first."
