Fields of Gold

Chapter 93: VIP Customers

The south is the home of fish and rice, and the two years have been characterized by a smooth breeze, with small surpluses under a thin abatement policy. Years of drought in the north, Tang Gu's presence in the sea has also reduced crop yields, not to mention the severe drylands in the north-west.

The northern tune of the southern grain is the wise decision of the emperor today, opening up the treasury, purchasing large quantities of grain from the south, and moving to the north through the sea canal, so as to keep food prices down and minimize disasters. This is also one of the reasons why there has been no large-scale refugee flight in the north, despite years of drought.

King Jing is the cousin of the present emperor, and although his qualifications are mediocre, he has a good and loyal heart. Since taking charge of maritime transport, there have been many personal escorts and escorts to the north to transport food to the north.

Brother Lu wants to receive a competent general under his command. To continue to take up the business of shipping this child, it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.

In order to maintain the heat and freshness of the dishes, Brother Six made a request to keep the weed in the kitchen of the restaurant, and the weed said yes with pleasure. Her father alone was enough to sell halibut at the pier.

By the time the food convoy had landed, it had passed the breakfast point. Manager Wu of Jingwangfu has long been tired of life on board, but he has come to Tang Gu Pier more than once, where the conditions are clear to him. Manager Wu stepped onto the land early, had a hot mouth to eat enough attitude, led by Liuzi to this poor restaurant.

“Get the kitchen ready to serve!” The attitude of Six Sons, though enthusiastic, is not enthusiastic. Naturally, it does not act, making Wu management feel comfortable.

“Okay!” Shortly after Xiao Er went out, he brought up a bowl of lush, golden egg flower soup. The name of the dish was reported in his mouth: “A bowl of ‘open soup’. Enjoy yourselves! ”

One of the Guests in the Bakery, a generous person, knew from a glance that he was extraordinary. Even though they didn't order food from the store, they rewarded it with silver. From the top of the restaurant to the top of the cabinet, down to the dude, the spirit entertainment is twelve points.

“Is this green vegetables? Is Green Vegetables on the market by now?” Manager Wu had just gone to land and felt that his feet were still shaking. When he saw the green leaves in this bowl, he felt comfortable and had an appetite.

Brother Liu's heart is also very surprised. At this time, the vegetables should not have been planted. This little grass, where did you get the green vegetables to make soup? Instead, he calmly helped Mr Wu serve a bowl of green vegetable soup. "Mr Wu, taste this soup..."

“Open soup” is light and refreshing, with tender vegetable leaves, golden egg blossoms, instantly melted at the entrance. This fresh flavour fits perfectly with the taste of Mr Wu. He drank two bowls in a row before touching his beard with a smile and praise: "Okay! Good!! Tastes great! ”

The second came dried halogenated beans, rich old halogen, delicious dried beans, although vegetarian vegetables, the meatless Wu management, still tasted several chopsticks before stopping.

The third dish, "Pearl Pills”, the glutinous rice particles are crystal clear, emitting pearl-like colors, round pills, bite down, both the aroma of pork and the fresh aroma of duck egg yolk, plus the glutinous rice, even after eating the delicious Wu management of the North and the South, they still praise:

“Six! This‘ pearl pill 'tastes good and has an elegant name. Did you change the cook at this diner? Where did you get the chef from? The Jiangcheng Tower is no worse! Let's just say this simple bean dryer can actually make this smell... you said if I dug him out, would the master cabinet here be desperate for me? ”

"Six brothers laughed. 'That's ridiculous, Mr Wu. You followed His Royal Highness King Jing all over the north and south of Dajiang. What kind of food have you never tasted? However, you've been holding onto the boat for a long time and you're in a good mood to go ashore, so it feels good to eat anything - this is plum buttons, you try them, but you can still get in? ”

“Plum Button Meat" grass is the lean and even part of the selection of five-flower meat. It is also oily, delicious but not greasy. Wu Guan also suffered when he was a child, he took this sip, even ate a few pieces, so he couldn't help but stop chopsticks - turns out pork can also be made so high-end...

After the big meal, the weed served a vegetarian dish - "sour spicy cabbage.” Wu Guangcao was tired of radish cabbage when he was a kid. He didn't seem to have a cold in this dish. After barely tasting the chopsticks, he found that it was spicy in the acid, hidden fresh in the spicy, and the taste was really good. Sighs in my heart: Can you make cabbage for this, maybe only the royal chef has the craft?

The next "sauce meat filament” surprised him even more, the tiny, thin skin, curled with meat filament and shallots, it actually had this taste, and an incredible effect! Governor Wu couldn't stop.

Don't underestimate this sauce meat filament, the process of this sauce alone does not go down seven or eight ways, can make the grass die, repeatedly tried countless times to formulate it into the effect she wants. However, her efforts were not in vain. If it wasn't for identity, Manager Wu would have asked the chef how to order this dish!

The last “boiled fish fillet” completely conquered Manager Wu's taste buds. The eye-catching red pepper tastes spicy without dryness, numbness without bitterness, and the cooked fish is smooth and oily. It removes the smell of fish and keeps the fish fresh. Once you enter, you feel like you can't stop wanting.

After eating a meal, Wu Zheng touched his stomach, which could barely hold his back. It was complicated in his heart: what kind of food he had not eaten since the ascension of Jingwang Mansion's management, what scene he had not seen, is the number one and two pubs in Beijing City, and he had never let him lose his temper like he has today. Little simple restaurant, actually hidden dragon lying tiger, so fresh and strange food, next time the master comes, definitely bring him to taste fresh.

“The cook here is very handsome, let him come over, reward him!” Manager Wu leaned on the back of the chair and tasted his own tea, suddenly wanting to see who was holy and could make food he had never tasted before.

Liu Zi poured him a cup of tea and smiled: “The cook, not the cook in the restaurant, I brought you something else to entertain your guest! ”

“Oh, Six, you're so sweet! All right, all right! I remember... I was curious, where did you get this cook?” Manager Wu looked at him with some depth and asked.

"A girl selling ‘meat and vegetables for a dime' appeared on the pier these past few days, and she was able to throw away ingredients that people didn't eat, such as pig heads, pig bellies and tiny, stingy little fish, to make food that everyone was competing for. I thought she must be very talented in cooking, so I asked her to come and help me entertain you today. ”

“Little girl? You said these dishes were made by a little girl? That's even more rewarding!” Manager Wu is more interested in the little girl in his mouth.

In the kitchen, when the last dish was served, the little grass helped clean the kitchen very well. Borrowing someone's kitchen naturally helps to restore it...

Just as she packed her things in the kitchen and was about to leave, Second Brother suddenly caught up with her and called her: “Little girl, the VIP inside wants to see you! He said he loved your dishes. It's a reward! ”

No, no, no! These dishes are all she can think of and they're not easy to cook. The diner feels good, rewarding her with a few bucks is more than she earns from selling halibut a day.

Little grass butt came to the only compartment upside down, followed Little Second, to the Chinese clothes middle-aged man inside, did a brazen courtesy, standing there with his head down waiting for the reward.

“Six... is that the little girl you're talking about who turns simple ingredients into delicacies?” Manager Wu glanced at the dilapidated but neat front shirt, combed her hair into two braids, her little face white and thin, a little girl of seven or eight years old, obviously did not believe in such a small child, the creator of this food table.

Six son nodded solemnly. "That's her..."

After all, Mr Wu had seen the world and soon recovered from surprise. He asked Grass with a smile. “Where did you learn these dishes, little girl? ”

Little grass raised her head slightly and looked at him. “I came up with all this myself. Brother Liu has saved my life. He is going to entertain the guests. Of course, I have exhausted all means to help him. ”

"Did you come up with all this yourself? Little boy, it's not a good habit to lie! ”

Faced with his almost reprehensible tone, Little Grass did not panic: “Our family is poor and cannot eat dirty for many years, so I saw the pig's guts thrown under the meat stall, and I thought, ‘The pig's guts are part of the pig's body and should be able to eat them too!’ When I got home, I thought about it for two days, using a lot of spices as a seasoning, and made a brittle pig head and a pig's large intestine. Not only is it not odourless, it also smells great!

Since then, I have been interested in cooking, and there have always been a lot of strange ideas in my mind that have not been tested due to the limited ingredients available at home. Six brothers gave me silver yesterday, let me make a whole table of dishes, went back and forth for an afternoon, finally made this table of dishes. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father. We couldn't even eat at home before, there's no money for Master to teach me to cook! ”

Manager Wu took another look at the cotton padded jacket, which was only cleaner than the beggar's. Though it was a little strange, he didn't ask any more. He thought she was a talented cook.

Originally, he proposed to meet the chef to see if he could dig up Jingwang Palace. The old lady of Jingwang Palace has been having a bad appetite lately and always wants to eat something novel. But when I saw this skinny little girl in front of me, I took a break. Seventy-eight year-old children need adult care. How can they leave their homes to go to the capital? Who's gonna make you cry?

Grass five taels of silver was rewarded, and Governor Wu, led by Six, went to the nearby inn to rest.
