Chapter 47 Shepherd’s Purse Feast (1)
"Oh! You are not allowed to order the same thing as me! No!" The girl's eyebrows, which had softened at first, immediately became sharp, and her facial features, like the colorful clothes on her body, instantly became dazzling.
"Bah - you little girl are so ridiculous. You don't own this restaurant, so why can't we order the same thing?" Someone sneered.
"Even if the restaurant is owned by your family, there is no reason to stop us from ordering this dish. The diners are the most important, do you understand?" Some people simply began to educate this arrogant little girl.
"We all pay the same amount, no one is more noble than the other..." someone quietly defended.
…
Listening to the sneers around her, the girl's face turned blue and white, and she screamed: "You--you! Do you have any more tricks?!"
"Hey, we're just ordering the same dish, why can't we do it the right way?" Some diners retorted: "If you don't let us order, then you really have no way of doing it!"
"You!" The girl was furious and wanted to say something else. The maid beside her quickly pulled the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Princess, you can't... Even if this matter comes before the king, we will not take it seriously..."
The girl in colorful clothes glared at her maid, then turned her gaze to Atian, who was walking between the food tables, stopped him and ordered: "You! Don't sell the meal just now to anyone else!"
Ah-Tian looked like he was looking at a monster, with a look of surprise on his face, and then a look of embarrassment on his face: "Girl, we are open for business, and everyone who comes is a customer. A small shop cannot treat one favorably."
"Girl loves this little shop so much. I appreciate it. Why don't we give this meal to the shop for free?" Seeing that the girl in colorful clothes was about to get angry again, A-Tian quickly added:
"If the girl really likes the food in the shop, she can come there every day in the future, or she can pay thirty copper cloth coins in advance every month, and the shop can customize the meals according to your preferences and needs, and give you a 20% discount on each meal."
Ah Tian said this, but he was praying in his heart, please don't come. Such a difficult master will only cause trouble.
Who would have thought that this arrogant and domineering girl suddenly changed her face and replied with a smile: "Okay! From now on, you will deliver the food to me before midnight every day.
The bacon rice just now is required for every meal. Bean hoof and mullet fish are delivered for three consecutive days. You can see how to match the other seasonal vegetables. As for the future menu..."
Having said this, she turned to look at the maid who had just whispered to her: "Chuntao! You will be responsible for this from now on! Remember to tell them the address where the food is delivered!"
After saying that, he patted the non-existent dust on his body, turned around and left.
The maid named Chuntao came forward and paid the deposit in advance, gave her address, and left in a hurry to follow her master.
On the other hand, Ah Tian looked solemn after hearing the address of Chuntao Bao.
He turned to the kitchen and told Chu Yunmeng what he had just heard.
"Did you hear clearly? It is indeed necessary to deliver it to the west corner gate of Chu Palace by Xu?" Chu Yunmeng also looked solemn.
"I heard it very clearly. I'm sure." Ah Tian answered carefully, then hesitantly asked about his worries: "This woman is related to the palace. Judging from her dress and demeanor, she must be of high status.
But I just saw him acting unreasonably. I'm just worried that having such a guest will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
"The soldiers will come and cover up the water with the earth." Chu Yunmeng was as worried as Atian, but she still spoke out words of comfort.
Thinking of her bad reaction when she saw the girl, she felt uneasy.
Forget it, let A-Tian deal with it from now on, and never meet her head-on.
She didn't want to be harmed by this arrogant girl before she even figured out who she was; she didn't want to deal with such a surly woman just to know who she was.
There are many ways to get back to the past, but you can't seek medical treatment in a hurry. She would rather deal with Cheng Yin for a while than face to face with this woman again.
With such uneasiness in her heart, she couldn't help but think about how anyone could suppress such a high-status palace woman.
Come to think of it, it's only a member of the royal family? Maybe if you know a well-known prince of the Chu family, you can deal with the unreasonable troubles from aristocratic women.
Thinking of this, she started to worry about it, so she stopped thinking about it and just waited for an opportunity.
Today's arrogant girl's provocation sounded the alarm to Chu Yunmeng on the other hand——
That is, it seems that I haven’t developed new dishes for a long time.
It is said that it is difficult to agree with others. When a restaurant becomes big or famous, it will become the biggest sin if the dishes are not to the taste.
Now that she has been busy dealing with the huge customer flow all day, she has not had time to update the dishes. It is indeed her dereliction of duty.
So she asked Ah Tian to put up a notice stating that the number of dine-in customers was limited to 80 per day, and diners exceeding the limit would not be entertained.
She used the time saved to develop new dishes.
It is spring, and all kinds of seasonal vegetables and wild vegetables are full of vitality. In addition to the germanium, shepherd's purse is also growing vigorously.
Then let everyone enjoy a shepherd's purse feast on this green spring day.
After the decision was made, Chu Yunmeng asked Atian to announce the upcoming shepherd's purse feast on the small boards in the lobby and at the door.
"What's so delicious about shepherd's purses all over the ground? We've long been tired of them!" Many people looked puzzled.
"Yeah, if I can eat fresh shepherd's purse in winter, I will be very happy. In spring, shepherd's purse is everywhere, nothing fresh!"
"You can't say that. Isn't Yunmengju the best at combining different ingredients to create different flavors? Maybe it can surprise us this time..."
All of a sudden, the diners were talking a lot.
There are believers, but most are doubters.
The discussions among the diners gave Chu Yunmeng new ideas.
She ordered Ah Tian to pick some shepherd's purse, and in addition to leaving some to plant in the large vegetable garden next to Yunmeng Mountain, she also dried some of the shepherd's purse and stored it in the sun.
"From now on, whenever we pick wild vegetables, we will leave some for planting in the vegetable garden, some for fresh food, and the rest will be dried in the sun for later use." Chu Yunmeng told Atian.
Soon, she discovered that there were more dried garlic and several other wild vegetables in the storage room.
This Atian is really reliable in his work.
After stocking up on shepherd's purse, Chu Yunmeng then mobilized several people from Yunmengju to take the time to go to the mountains and pick spring bamboo shoots deep in the bamboo forest before the restaurants were opened.
After gathering enough game, she bought enough chickens.
After everything was prepared, Chu Yunmeng first made a stir-fried bacon dish with shepherd's purse to appetize the diners at the restaurant.
The saltiness of the bacon and the freshness of the shepherd's purse combine to create a different flavor that goes well with the shepherd's purse.
Then there are shepherd’s purse and spring bamboo shoots.
Slice the spring bamboo shoots, add them to the pot with a small amount of washed sauerkraut, and stir-fry over high heat for a while. Then pour the blanched shepherd's purse into the pot, add salt and pepper, stir-fry for a while, and serve.
The reason why this dish is added with a small amount of sauerkraut was inspired by a noodle dish called "Pian'erchuan" in my dream.
In the dream, Pian'erchuan made a soup base with bamboo shoots and pickled cabbage, which really left a deep impression on her.
The fresh and fresh fragrance of bamboo shoots mixed with the salty and sour taste of sauerkraut. Just the collision of these completely different flavors makes people want to stop eating.
Not to mention the addition of shepherd's purse, a fragrant wild vegetable?
Chu Yunmeng can't wait to see the feedback from diners.
There may be major revisions in the near future, so the manuscript update will be slower, but I will try my best to get the second update. If I don't wait until 10:30, it may be gone.
This time I will try my best to update the previously adjusted parts at once, so that it is easier for everyone to read. I will only re-post the chapters that have been posted before but need to be re-posted due to overhaul. Please don't criticize me~ hahaha
