A man and a woman came into the shop and whispered. The man was concerned: "I thought that there was no decent restaurant in Nancheng, but I didn't expect it to be me. This is my place. Sister, you haven't eaten much for two days. You should eat a little today anyway."

The woman covered her chest and nodded reluctantly: "Eat a bit."

The man approached and saw Lin Dan stirring a pot of braised meat, with a surprised expression, "Well, you will make Qianzhou-style braised meat. Just right, we are from Qianzhou and give us a copy Right. "

Lin Dan shook his head and said, "This guest officer, sorry, the braised pork is sold out. Can you order anything else? We also have noodles and white porridge here."

The man frowned, seemingly unhappy: "But I just want to eat braised meat, nothing else."

"Then I can only say sorry to you. If you want to eat, you can come early tomorrow." Lin Dan smiled lightly.

She didn't know who the man was, but Qin Erniang knew and quickly waved: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll give him this plate of meat, I won't eat it." The words wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his expression was terrified. If not, the brother and sister should be the sister-in-law of the King of Yunnan and Guizhou. The King of Yunnan and Guizhou is the only king with a different surname in the Kingdom of Da Chu. He is stationed on the Yunnan and Guizhou Plateau all the year round and holds 800,000 troops in his hand.

In order to show loyalty, the King of Yunnan and Guizhou sent his sister-in-law to Beijing to study early, and his treatment was not bad compared to that of the prince. The year before last, he also brought in his 15-year-old daughter-in-law, who seemed to be entering the palace as a maid. In short, the siblings were both on the mountain and could not afford to offend.

The man's eyebrows stretched and seemed to be satisfied with Qin Erniang's acquaintance, but Lin Dan said: "Everything must be paid attention to first come first. Erniang has waited all morning, this dish of brined meat should be her."

Before waiting for the man to show an angry expression, Lin Dan had raised his head and looked at the little girl with a pale face, and continued, "Besides, I see this lady covering her chest all the time, she seems to feel dizzy, Shouldn't be able to adapt to seasickness in the waterway? Can't you eat these greasy things when you are sick? I would also like to make some refreshing food for the lady? "

The woman didn't really want to eat meat. She nodded quickly after listening to Lin Dan's words: "Okay, the shopkeeper can help me make some refreshing side dishes. I don't really want to eat meat now." Then he looked at his brother timidly.

The man thought of his sister's destiny in the future, and felt pity for a while. Where would he refute her words, he nodded and agreed, and then turned around to find Tang Jiu was also surprised. "Tang Shizi, do you come to this restaurant to eat? It's a coincidence. "

Tang Jiuyi said, "This shop is opened by my friend. Thank you County King for your face." The voiceover is-you can play in any place, but please don't make trouble in this shop.

In the early years, the man was given the title of a county king by the emperor. It seems that he has a higher status than the marquis. In fact, he has to converge in front of the emperor like Tang Jiu. His arrogant look disappeared immediately, and his smile seemed easy to approach.

Seeing that he was honest, Tang Jiu handed over ten copper plates to Lin Dan. When he said goodbye, he repeatedly told her to go to the Ministry of Defense to write a letter for himself.

Lin Dan's mouth promised to be good, but in fact, he never even bothered Tang Jiu. Ben is not a person of the world, why should we cling together? She is a cook, he is a diner, and the relationship is as simple as that. After handing the marinated meat to Qin Erniang, who was shaking her hands and feet, she filled a casserole with white porridge, heated it on the stove, and then took out a green pepper and threw it into the fire.

The green peppers were roasted with charcoal fire, making a beeping sound, and a pungent pungent scent quickly permeated. Xiao Zhu was sneezed repeatedly, but the handsome man and the petite woman were half surprised and nostalgic.

"Are you making hot peppers?" The woman walked to the stovetop, staring at the green peppers that were getting softer in the fire, and her eyes were in tears: "When I was in my hometown, my mother loved to cook this dish for me and my brother. You are afraid that you did n’t know. We were separated from my father when we were young. My mother took me and my brother to hide in the countryside. I did n’t have any money, I could n’t eat big fish and meat. It's heavy enough to have a meal so that we can fill up. "

The mask on the man's face also cracked a crack, and his eyes were slightly red.

Lin Dan looked up at the woman and smiled. His eyes were full of appeasement. After that, he put the roasted peppers and a few garlic in a bowl and smashed them, then drizzled with soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and **** oil, etc.

"Taste it, isn't it the smell of your hometown?" After preparing the cold dishes, Lin Dan handed the dishes to the woman. The woman caught the fired peppers and tasted them. As soon as her eyes blinked, the tears came down. "Yes That's the taste. "She wiped away her tears quickly and made a smile:" Brother, come and taste it too. "

Since being taken back to the palace by her father, she has never eaten this dish again, because her mother is long gone and there is no place for them in the palace. She and her brother are just two items that can be sacrificed at will.

The man took a bite of the dish, his voice was a little hoarse: "Is the shopkeeper supposed to have stayed in Qianzhou? This fired pepper is very authentic."

"Stay a few months." Lin Dan put the casserole porridge and a small stove on the table together, and said warmly, "The appetizers are a bit spicy, and it is better to eat less. I cut some raw meat slices and pork liver for you. Once you have leafy vegetables, you can directly put them in the porridge. You can cook and eat them now to make them more delicious. "

"Thank you shopkeeper." After crying, the woman was in a much better mood. She used the chopsticks to burn the hot peppers slowly and slowly, and cherished them. I never expected that in this distant place in Beijing, I could eat such authentic hometown dishes.

The brothers and sisters sat and ate, but for a long time they had nothing to say, but their eyes were red. In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Dan and Xiaozhu retreated to the back kitchen. Qin Erniang didn't dare to share the room with the nobles. He followed Lin Dan with a plate of braised meat and talked about various small news in Beijing. She now particularly likes the shopkeeper Lin, not only because of her good craftsmanship, but also because of her good people. With her, you can feel her peace and tolerance everywhere, this is the most comfortable place.

Two quarters later, the brothers and sisters had left, but there was a glittering gold leaf on the table. Qin Erniang swallowed a spit, and sighed sincerely: "My obedient, good craftsmanship is good, Lin shopkeeper, your store is afraid to make money!"

From this day on, Tang Jiu, Wei Yuanhou, King of Yunnan and Guizhou have become loyal fans of their hometown restaurants. They do n’t count on their own and often pack for relatives and friends. With these live signs in them, Lin Dan's business is getting better and better. Not only people in Nancheng hear the wind, but even the noble officials in Xicheng and Dongcheng will change into the most ordinary clothes and come quietly to enjoy a meal. Gourmet. No matter how much mountain and sea food you have eaten, what you love and miss the most is still a plate of hometown dishes.

…………

Two months later, Lin Dan had completely established her foothold in Beijing. She was busy doing business in her store in the morning, and then taught Qiu Xiaozhu to cook in the afternoon. Chef Qiu only learned the cooking skills of his father for three years, and he did not practice the knife skills, let alone the stove. But he is very spiritual and willing to study. He taught Lin Dan to teach his interests and formally accepted Qiu Xiaochou as an apprentice.

On this day, Tang Jiu invited a few monarchs from Mongolia to come to the restaurant for dinner. Lin Dan boiled a large pot of grabbed lamb with almond milk, and then made a sauce with salty grass head and chives, and took it out for the guests to use. Xiao Zhu was going to prepare chopsticks and dishes, but she was rejected by shaking her head.

How can guests eat without tableware? The official who accompanied Tang Jiu tossed his face at the moment, and a young man who looked quite similar to Tang Jiu yelled: "Nothing wink, so many of us come to eat, you have a big one Pots out, what about the bowls? What about chopsticks? Can we grab them by hand? Brother, this restaurant is too unreliable. Let ’s go to Yan's restaurant. Sister Yan will be out of the palace today. The craftsmanship is good, and the guests must be satisfied. "

The man's name is Tang Peng. He is a cousin of Tang Jiu. Now he also serves in the Ministry of Defense. He has a deep love for Yan Langqing and naturally insists on going to Yan's restaurant. Unfortunately, his proposal was rejected by my cousin. Now, when I see Lin Dan making such a big oolong, I can't wait for a good meal.

"You don't speak much without knowing how to save shame." Tang Jiu's tone was cold and displeased.

"Nine brother, I am also to entertain the distinguished guests. They finally came to Dachu, and you took them to eat this? You do n’t have to look at the faces of several princes ..." He turned and looked around. Several princes intended to explain it kindly, and then asked them to move, but saw them reach into the large basin, grabbed a piece of lamb with bones, ate it gorgingly, and babbled while eating. His face was full of admiration.

A staff member who understands Mongolian translates: "Several princes are very satisfied with the meal. This dish is called lamb, which is eaten directly by hand."

Next to him, a grandfather said aloud, and the staff's face was more pleasant, and continued: "Several grandfathers said that the mutton of Central Plains is too stinky, and they are not used to eating. They came to Beijing and lost several kilos of hunger for two months. Today I can fully eat it. The lamb made by this chef is very tender and has no smell of Central Plains lamb, exactly like the lamb they eat on the grassland. The hometown restaurant is indeed the hometown restaurant, and it really deserves its reputation! "

Tang Jiu was modest, and he grabbed the lamb and ate. Several officials were anxious to get under the table. It was okay to say in their hearts. Fortunately, a few grandfathers did not understand Chinese, otherwise they would lose their hair today. Tang Peng's cheeks turned red, and he couldn't speak for a long time. He yelled and scolded there, blunting the shopkeeper Lin for not knowing it, but it turned out that this dish was a Mongolian specialty, which was originally grasped by hand, but it seemed that he was short-sighted and not as good as a cook.

Xiao Zhu was a little nervous at first, and almost laughed at the scene. Pooh! No matter who is a noble official, there is really no insight!

Lin Dan didn't care about Qiantang's farce. After washing his hands, he boarded the carriage and went to Xicheng. In order to counter the sudden rise of Qiaoyuan Restaurant, Yan Family Restaurant has launched two signature dishes for two consecutive months. I heard that the third one will be launched today, and she has to go and see.
