364 Who Are You

"Wow, martial arts master!" Someone suddenly praised loudly in admiration in the crowd, but more people took a few steps back with fear. Didn't they say that they were not allowed to disturb their young master's meal? What if the two maids disliked them for quarrels, or blocked their young master's view, and even threw a chopstick out? They were not as strong as the wall.

If I hadn't been really curious about whether the Wei family would continue to get entangled, or introduced the distinguished guests directly to the Wei family restaurant, many people had long since dispersed. Who would have been willing to provoke wealthy families, masters in the world, etc.?

As the focus of attention, the Wei family and the other two said, it was no exaggeration to say that their legs and feet were trembling.

With a cold and noble aura, rich dress, generous appearance, and two young, beautiful but extraordinary maids, who is this young man? Shouldn’t such a person go to a high-end restaurant like Weijia Restaurant when you come to Liuping? Weijia Restaurant is managed by the head of the Wei family. Talents selected from the family selection every three years will go to Weijia Restaurant to study and exercise, and then select the best ones from them and send them to Beijing to run for the imperial chef.

Of course, none of their generations could be selected into the Wei Family Restaurant. Then he put his ideas on Zhao Jinxiu. Not only did he want to use Zhao Jinxiu to help them open a restaurant to earn money, but he also wanted her to teach her skills and train one or two of their children and nephews to participate in the family selection competition at the end of the year.

I hated that no one knew that this woman had a good cooking skills before, and in order to occupy the property of their house, she cut off the relationship between the mother and daughter and expelled them from the clan. The Zhao family was also a cruel person. They took the divorce letter and the severance letter to the government to prepare a case. Even their niece, Pearl, changed her mother's surname to Zhao, and had nothing to do with their Wei family.

It was not until Jinxiu Restaurant gradually became famous and many foreign merchants who often came to Liuping became repeat customers. When Liuping arrived, he went straight to Jinxiu Restaurant. Even the wife and young master of the county magistrate's family became regular customers of Jinxiu Restaurant, they regretted it.

However, Zhao Jinxiu did not eat soft and hard food, and did not get into their trap at all. Even if the son-in-law died, the mother and daughter had a bad reputation, the restaurant business was bad, and the county magistrate had no support, so she refused to let go. But they didn't have much time, and the triennial selection competition was at the end of the year, so today they brought their father, that is, Pearl's grandfather, to show off again...

Unexpectedly, just when the master and servant came to make trouble, but they saw that they didn't dare to mess with each other.

They wanted to keep in the door as usual to take bad luck and disaster star to talk about things, but seeing the two fierce maids staring at them with unexpected surprise, they thought that they had specially found them after listening to the diner's introduction, and even took out the money to buy things and make them. Will they say those things now useful? It really ruined the young master's interest. They looked at the pair of chopsticks that Rudong was still playing with, and shuddered, glared at Zhao, wanted to speak but stopped, and hurriedly left...

Zhao Jinxiu was also shocked, but she was not panicked, and her face almost didn't change much. After being stunned, she smiled at Luoshuang and said, "Miss was joking, only two small holes, I just applied the mud myself, so what money should I leave? Young Master, sit down for a while, and I will prepare the meal. Pearl, soak a pot of honeysuckle in a pot of water, then wash the cores of the vegetables, and then make a plate of bamboo shoots. I will go to the street market in front to buy some meat and fish." I also want to buy some good white rice. The young master will definitely not be able to swallow the rice they usually eat.

"Hey, mom, I understand, you go," a crisp voice came out of the kitchen. Zhao Jinxiu took the ten taels of silver given by Luoshuang just now and went out. Although it was unreasonable to buy ingredients from the customers' silver, she really couldn't afford to buy better things. She could only respond to the saying, "The person is poor and the ambition is short, but the more he wants to make up for it, she will never charge more money."

Zhiruo looked at the shop about 12 or 3 square meters and placed three sets of tables and chairs. Although they were old, they were all very clean and tidy. There was a small kitchen on the left back of the shop. Looking inside, you could see a thin figure busy, carrying a blue and blue bag on his back. He should be the child who was only one year old.

After a while, the busy figure came out with a tray, which contained a teapot and three cups.

The person who came was a young woman wearing a blue top and a blue white floral dress: "Young master, girl, you drink some honeysuckle water first. We don't have good tea, but this honeysuckle water is very good for the health. I also added some sugar. Please wait patiently. My mother and I have fast hands and feet, and I can pack up the food soon." Although the three people in front of me looked like wealthy people, my mother said that when they enter the store, they are all customers, and they must greet them regardless of the rich and poor. The poor cannot discriminate against them, and there is no need for the rich to bow down.

Zhiruo nodded and didn't say anything. Zhao Zhenzhu was not surprised. She picked up the tray, bowed, and went into the kitchen to work hard. It would be great that such a wealthy person could respond to her.

Luo Ying picked up the teapot and poured three cups full. She picked up one cup and took a sip before handing over another cup to Zhiruo: "It's great, my master, try it." Honeysuckle is mostly made from poor families as tea, but she heard Zisu say that honeysuckle is a good thing to clear heat and detoxify. If the master is dizzy, dry mouth and thirst, and heat and heat, he can be used as medicine. It is sold in medicine shops, and brewing is also simple.

Zhiruoke has no concept of drinking the poor and losing his identity. In modern times, he often brews it as tea in summer, especially his age when he has acne on his face.

Zhao Jinxiu's movements were indeed very fast. Those who opened a restaurant were always the most familiar with where to buy what kind of ingredients. After a while, he came back with a basket of dishes, gasping slightly and sweating on his forehead, which showed that he was rushing.

As soon as she entered the shop, she only asked: "Do you like light or heavy flavors? Is there any taboo?" After getting Luo Ying's answer, "It's OK, it's okay if you don't have taboos, it's good to taste," she nodded and hurried into the kitchen to arrange it.

Zhiruo was not polite, Yin Zhiruo in his previous life might only like light food, but Yin Huien in his previous life really had no taboos. Whether it is light Cantonese cuisine, salty and sweet Fujian cuisine, spicy Hunan cuisine... all kinds of flavors and various cuisines, she likes them as long as they are well cooked.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the dishes started to be continued, including mushroom and vegetable core, bamboo shoots, sweet and sour tenderloin, fish head tofu soup, three-color fried shrimp, braised carp, and the main food is a large plate of ham and egg fried rice.

They are all common dishes in restaurants these days, and they are also simple and easy to operate. However, Zhiruo and the three of them have eaten many big restaurants along the way. The taste of Zhao Jinxiu is really no worse than what they cook. Even the fried rice with sauce bamboo shoots and ham and egg fried rice can be said to be much better than those restaurants. The fried rice with frost was very good: "It's delicious, master, this skill is comparable to Aunt Bai."

Zhiruo nodded, no wonder Xiangmanlou was so popular in his previous life, no wonder the Wei family just now had such difficulty and forced Zhao Jinxiu. It was really not easy to buy, prepare ingredients, and cook in such a short time, and make such delicious meals!

After picking up the last braised carp, Zhao Jinxiu stood aside and asked slightly nervously: "I wonder if these dishes are okay? Can the young master be used to eating?" Time was too tight, and she was worried that the guests were hungry. They came here, but they were just hungry to prepare for meals? So, in such a hurry, she could only choose simple and time-saving dishes.

"Very good," Zhiruo nodded, "We can't finish so many dishes. If you two don't dislike it, leave fried rice, bamboo shoots, and braised carp. The other plates are served on the table. You can sit down and eat it. It's lunch time." The braised carp came up. Even if they can't eat it, they can't let it go immediately, otherwise Zhao Jinxiu would think it was not ready and it was not delicious.

Disgusted? How is it possible? Don’t say that she could see clearly. These three people are a habitual method of aristocratic families. They use a single pair of chopsticks to clothe dishes in the small bowl in front of them, and then use their own chopsticks and spoons to eat. However, it is rare for the maids to sit together to eat, although the two maids took care of their young masters first and took turns to clothe dishes for the young masters, and then used them themselves.

Even if the general way of eating food is to pick up food, if there are more left after the guests leave, they are reluctant to waste it. They will stew together and eat it themselves after cooking, or give it to their neighbors, or give it to their neighbors.

But it’s too...no rules to let them eat with customers directly.

When Zhao Jinxiu was thinking about how to explain to the customer that he would not misunderstand, Luoshuang had already brought the dishes to the next table quickly, and muttered: "Hurry, Madam Zhao, the dishes are still hot, you can eat it quickly, but the fried rice is just enough, we three are just right, you have to serve the rice yourself, haha."

After Luo Ying put half a bowl of soup for Zhiruo and herself, she also brought the fish-head tofu soup over: "Yes, Miss Zhao, don't think so much. We are embarrassed to let you buy vegetables and cook so quickly. Besides, it's a pity that you have made so well and hard, isn't it?"

Zhao Jinxiu thought about it and saw that the young master sincerely invited them to have dinner together. He refused again and seemed to be really disgusted. He gritted his teeth and saluted Zhiruo respectfully and without any flattery and humbleness. Then he said to Zhao Zhenzhu, who was standing at the kitchen door, with a surprised look on his face: "Come out two bowls of rice, and Baoer's egg custard."

Pearl responded and quickly brought out the tray. Zhiruo and the other two saw at a glance that the rice was Chen rice, which was very different from the fried rice in front of them. The fried rice must be fresh rice or the best pearl rice.

But this is also normal. It is said that the son-in-law of the Zhao family not only lost his life, but also lost a lot of money, spending all the savings of the Zhao family's mother and daughter over the years. The business was not good in the past two years and they had to raise children. Especially in the past few months of persecution by the Wei family, their lives have become increasingly difficult and they will definitely not be willing to eat good rice. Now the customers in the shop are mainly poor coolies, and the food they sell is cheap, so the rice is naturally not good rice. However, that small bowl of egg custard shows that no matter how Zhao Jinxiu and daughter treat them unfairly, they are unwilling to treat Xiao Baoer unfairly.

He is strong and neat, and is not a soft-hearted person who is easily deceived. He is also polite and polite, and loves his descendants very much. Zhiruo secretly praised him, Zhao Jinxiu is a good person, probably because of his good nature. In addition, he had received good influence in the mansion of the mighty general, so he had the demeanor of being a housewife. It is no wonder that he was treated differently by the magistrate's wife a few years ago.

The eating behavior of Zhao Jinxiu and her daughter is not ugly at all, but they eat very quickly. While eating by themselves, Pearl also feeds the child, and she is as refreshing as her mother.

After eating, Pearl carried the child to the backyard and wanted to coax the child to take a nap.

Zhao Jinxiu packed the bowls and plates and brewed a pot of tea: "Our small restaurant does not provide tea. I just took my own initiative to help the young master buy one or two of the best Mingqian Longjing. Our Mingqian Longjing in Liuping is very famous. It is even better to choose to relieve greasiness after meals. Today, these meals are 2,500 yuan in silver, 5,000 yuan in silver, 5,000 yuan in tea. Just now, this girl gave me ten taels, and the remaining one or nine coins are all here. I have packed the remaining tea, so please pack it.

Zhiruo smiled and said, "We use more than ten taels of these dishes in the restaurant. Of course, you would say that you are a small restaurant and cannot compete with the restaurant, but we are more satisfied with what we eat than in the restaurant, right? Let's take advantage of each other and don't need to find the money. Uh, let's take advantage of it, and drink the tea, and collect it."

"This..." Zhao Jinxiu wanted to refuse, but the masked young master finished saying this. The young master looked very determined. She was not a clever person and really didn't know how to speak.

Zhiruo looked at Luo Ying, and Luo Ying understood and walked to the door and stared at him.

Zhiruo then continued, "Okay, don't stop here and that. I came here to find you, Miss Zhao. In addition to trying your skills, I also wanted to find you to cooperate with the restaurant business. I wonder if Miss Zhao is interested?"

"Cooperate with restaurant business?" Zhao Jinxiu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Young master, you are a person standing in the clouds. It's not easy for you to do restaurant business? Even if you want to find someone to cooperate, why would you find a woman like me who is about to go bankrupt in a small restaurant? Even if I cook, there are many chefs with good cooking skills. There are no need to find me, right?" But in their situation, besides the shameless Wei family, who would plot against her? What is she worth calculating? As she said, there are many people with good cooking skills.

"There are indeed many people who have good cooking skills," Zhiruo nodded, "but you are the only one who can make General Zhao worry about it. It is related to the mighty General's Mansion, and you are the only one who has high cooking skills, right?"
