The rain fell intermittently until late at night, which seemed to add some difficulty to Xue Poye's work.
In the dead of night, only the sound of pattering raindrops, and occasional "clicks" of thunder, and the rainy night, Xue Poye sat in the dark office, feeling ups and downs, or rather, he was in a very unhappy mood at this time.
At dinner time, Xiao Lingxian didn't eat, but fortunately under Yuezhu's persuasion, she ate some slightly, her pretty face was full of bewilderment and helplessness, Xue Poye couldn't bear to let such a little girl bear such a burden. A major blow is indeed a bit cruel. Xue Poye also had some doubts in his heart, what is the purpose of the second senior brother's trip? Why did you bring the innocent and ignorant Little Fairy here.
Xue Poye picked up a few funny jokes and told Xiao Lingxian, although Xiao Lingxian didn't have a happy face, but sometimes she couldn't help laughing, and her heavy heart eased a little.
Fortunately, no one went upstairs. When Song Qian came back, he went upstairs to report something, which made Hu San who was guarding the door very uncomfortable, but Xue Poye looked calm and calm as usual. Song Qian knew that Hu San was Xue Poye. The newly recruited guy said hello and met a new colleague.
After making sure that everyone was asleep, Xue Poye and Hu San went out with the corpse on their backs. The gate between the backyard and the lobby was closed tightly, so they were not afraid of being seen by others.
The wind and rain were blowing, carrying the dead body on their backs, it was extremely weird, but fortunately, both of them were courageous, and they were not afraid at all.
Although the rain made things difficult for Xue Poye, it was also very beneficial. This place was not very popular, but now that it was raining, there was no one around, and he was not afraid of being seen.
One person carried a corpse, dug a pit and buried it in the lush forest of Hongyan Pagoda, and then turned around and buried another corpse. The two of them buried the corpse already exhausted.
Xue Poye felt that his life was a bit sad, and it was a bit weird to secretly bury the corpse on a stormy night.
Fortunately, after the most worrying thing was done, although the body was exhausted, the spirit was relaxed.
The two rushed back to the restaurant in the pouring rain, dragged their tired bodies to wipe off the blood in the private room, opened the door between the backyard and the lobby, and then fell asleep at the table on the second floor. Exhausted, the two Soon there was a loud snoring.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I heard the soft calling in my ears, Xue Poye opened his eyes to look, only to see Yuezhu was looking at him with a smile, blowing like blue, his pink face was slightly red, he couldn't help but feel fluttering , This little girl made my heart flutter early in the morning, I was really full of warm thoughts, I didn't feel this way in the past half a year, how could I be so excited by this little girl after I went downstairs
Ashamed, it seems that concentration is not enough.
"Slacker, get up soon, the master is here!" Yuezhu saw Xue Poye looking at him with a pair of strange eyes, really like the legendary lecherous, couldn't help the deer bumping around, and his heart beat faster .
Xue Poye rubbed his nose, smiled awkwardly, stood up and stretched, and said curiously, "Master? What master?"
Yuezhu patted Xue Poye's forehead, "Brother Poye, you really have no memory. The chefs invited by Lao Song are waiting for you downstairs."
Xue Poye slapped his head, and said repeatedly: "I'm so confused, I'm so confused! I'll go see them right away." He was about to get up and go down, but Yuezhu grabbed him, frowned, and pointed to Xue Poye. Broken night clothes.
Only then did Xue Poye realize that after burying the body last night, he forgot to change his clothes. At this time, the clothes were still stained with a lot of blood, so he couldn't help smiling awkwardly.
Yuezhu took two sets of clean clothes from the side, gave one to Xue Poye, woke up Hu San who was still snoring loudly, and asked him to change into clean clothes.
Xue Poye took the clothes and said with a smile: "Hey, Yuezhu is really a good girl. She will be a good wife and mother in the future. I don't know which man is cheaper. He has accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes!" On Xue Poye's arm, she was extremely shy: "Brother Poye, you, you talk nonsense, you talk nonsense, I will hit you!" The daughter's posture was obvious, Xue Poye was stunned.
The two went into the private room to change their clothes, then handed the dirty clothes to Yuezhu, and then went downstairs.
There were four chefs waiting below, one of them was obese, and Xue Poye immediately confirmed that it was the chef of Shuzhong.
He suddenly remembered a classic line from Zhao Moumou in his previous life: "He has a big head and a thick neck, he is either a rich man or a cook!", which is very reasonable.
Xue Poye is very temperamental, plus he pretends to be aggressive, so the chefs immediately recognized that this is the shopkeeper of "Lanyuexuan", and they all stood up and saluted respectfully: "The shopkeeper!"
"Sit, sit, sit!" Xue Poye was very enthusiastic, with a kind smile on his face, he seemed quite approachable.
Several chefs immediately felt the warmth brought by the shopkeeper.
After understanding, Xue Poye said with a smile: "In the future, Lanyuexuan will rely on several people for support. Don't worry, I, Xue Poye, is a happy person and I don't hide my words. If Lanyuexuan's business is poor, the few wages There will never be the slightest arrears, and if it becomes prosperous, Xue will naturally give out money to everyone as a reward. From now on, you will regard Lanyuexuan as your own home, it is a disaster for me, but a blessing to share!"
The cooks who spoke these words were very moved. They didn't expect the new shopkeeper to be such a sensible person. They all smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"You guys must all have specialties, why don't you come and listen!" Xue Poye signaled Hu San to pour some tea, and said leisurely: "Xue is very interested in the dishes."
The fat cook immediately showed a look of satisfaction, glanced left and right from the corners of his eyes, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, you really asked the right question. The eight major cuisines in the world, Sichuan, Hunan, Shandong, Guangdong, Hui, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Su, belong to me. Sichuan cuisine has the most variety and the best taste. Lao Hu became a Taoist at the age of thirteen, and now he is in his forties. He has been in the kitchen industry for decades, but he has also practiced a few signature dishes. I am afraid that no one in the world can make my taste .”
There was a Sichuan flavor in the words of the chef in Sichuan, and Xue Poye only knew at this time that the surname of this big chef was Hu.
As soon as the words came out, the people next to him seemed a little disdainful.
Xue Poye naturally knows that the formation of the eight major cuisines emerged after countless practices and word of mouth. Each cuisine is the essence of it. Although there are differences in varieties, the tastes have their own styles.
Although Lao Hu's words were full of confidence, they were still tinged with personal feelings.
Xue Poye had a special liking for Sichuan cuisine in his previous life. He knew that the Sichuan cuisine system was formed very early. It is a cuisine with a long history. Its origin is the ancient Ba and Shu kingdoms.
I remember reading a record in "Huayang Guozhi" before, that the Ba Kingdom "plants five grains on the soil, six livestock", and produces fish, salt and tea honey, while the Shu Kingdom "has fish in the mountains and forests, melons and fruits in the garden, and the four generations It’s seasoned and cooked, and it’s not enough!” At that time, the seasonings of Ba and Shu already included brine, rock salt, Sichuan pepper and “Yangpu Zhijiang”. Among the cultural relics unearthed during the Warring States Period, there are various bronze ware and pottery utensils. The sprout of Sichuan cuisine can be seen, and it really has this origin. Sichuan cuisine ranks first among all kinds of dishes.
With a smile on Xue Poye's face, he licked his lips and asked, "What are Master Hu's signature dishes?"
"Three vegetarians and three meats!" Master Hu replied immediately. He knew that this was the shopkeeper's assessment, so he didn't dare to neglect. In the final analysis, there are only five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Sichuan cuisine pays attention to hot and sour, but I have invaded the kitchen and combined the five flavors, creating an original three-vegetarian, three-meat and six-course dish.”
Seeing that Xue Poye was looking at him with great interest, Master Hu pointed his fingers and said, "The first vegetarian dish is Sichuan tofu!"
"Chuanxi tofu?" Xue Poye frowned, and said slowly: "I think this dish tastes good, but the name needs to be changed?"
Several chefs were taken aback.
"Let me think about it!" Xue Poye touched his nose and said with an evil smile, "Why don't you call it Bingji Snow Skin!"
Master Hu was taken aback, and the others were also in a cold sweat. The name of the shopkeeper is very good, but... the name of the dish is indeed much more tempting.
"The second vegetarian dish, steamed honey lotus root with ginger!"
"Sweet love!"
"Lily Cucumber!"
"Azure dragon crouching in the snow!"
…
…
Several chefs were sweating profusely, the shopkeeper is really talented.
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Our first batch of clients are those gifted young masters. This is a special group, very old-fashioned. Once a matter reaches their ears, it can be spread quickly."
He also taught fruit chefs and pastry chefs carefully, some common names were changed into new clothes, and the names of new dishes were either fragrant or mysterious, in short, they followed the basic principle of temptation.
Several chefs admired Xue Poye very much, and immediately wrote the names of important special dishes on wooden sticks and hung them in the lobby. Looking around, the dish name area was full of eclectic and mysterious words, dozens of wooden sticks and several rows Shun Kai, it is spectacular.
