Another evening, a strong fragrance wafted from the courtyard where Yunmengju was located.

The surrounding neighbors are all thinking, could this shopkeeper Yun of Yunmengju have made some new dish?

As a result, before dinner time, many people stood at the door of Yunmengju, looking around, but they didn't see any movement for a long time.

The sign at the door has not written the menu of today's new dishes, which means that the business has not started yet; Yun Gu is not seen in the vestibule and lobby, which means that the dishes have not been prepared yet.

This is a rule that regular diners have figured out these days.

In fact, their guess was very accurate. Chu Yunmeng introduced a new dish today.

She has been preparing this dish for two days.

As early as yesterday when she got up, she soaked five or six kilograms of bean sprouts, or soybeans, in water until they were harvested in the evening.

Seeing that the soybeans were almost swollen, Chu Yunmeng ignored the fatigue of spinning just now, lit a fire again, put the soybeans in the cauldron and cooked them, and stopped the fire when they were half cooked.

In this way, it can not only prevent the soybeans from sprouting - although the probability of sprouting is not high in such cold weather, but also prepare them in advance so that the soybeans can be cooked softer the next day.

Also yesterday morning, Chu Yunmeng went to the butcher Hu's place and cut up about ten catties of hooves. He washed them, removed the hair early, and sprinkled them with salt to marinate.

After being marinated for a day and a night, the salty flavor has already penetrated into every inch of the meat.

After cooking in this way, it will taste more delicious, instead of being as bland and watery as if it was cooked in hot soup in a big cauldron.

When he got up early this morning, Chu Yunmeng lit up the fire, poured the lard into the cauldron, put the hooves into the cauldron in batches and stir-fried until the meat was fragrant, and immediately served it in a copper basin.

By frying first and then stewing, the meaty aroma contained in the hoof can be fully brought out.

After all the hooves had been rolled through the hot oil, Chu Yunmeng put all the hooves into several large cauldrons, poured in the water in which the beans had been soaked, simmered over high heat for a short while, and then poured in the beans.

, bring to a simmer over low heat.

After pouring in the beans, cover the entire cauldron without lifting the pot and simmer until evening.

The aroma of meat from several cauldrons could no longer be contained and overflowed directly from the cracks in the pot lids. It first overflowed the kitchen, then rushed out of the kitchen and floated to the courtyard, then to the streets and alleys, and even to the adjacent streets.

The strong aroma finally attracted more diners.

Not only the old diners poked their heads at the door, but also many new diners who had never been before were also attracted by the aroma and the excitement of the crowd, and gathered outside Yunmengju.

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd blocked the road in Lihua Lane, attracting the attention of the government.

When Song Yun arrived at Lihua Lane, what he saw was a large group of people surrounding Yunmengju, blocking the crowds who wanted to enter and exit from Lihua Lane, so that they had to take a detour.

And more and more people watching the fun, seeing the group of people, also gathered around as if they were joining in the fun.

Song Yun frowned, holding his token in one hand and pulling away the people blocking his way with the other, and drove straight into Yunmeng Residence, only to see that the vestibule and lobby were empty.

Based on the direction of the aroma in the air, Song Yun guessed that Chu Yunmeng should still be busy in the kitchen.

Thinking of this, he simply walked outside Yunmenju, showed the token in one hand, and shouted: "Those who want to eat in Yunmenju, please line up in the front yard and wait for the table to be served; those who have no plans to dine, please disperse and don't gather together."

Block others in the middle of the road!”

After drinking three times in a row, the crowd finally began to loosen up and lined up in the vestibule according to Song Yun's instructions.

After being directed by Song Yun, the queue of diners finally took shape in the courtyard.

After making several twists and turns, the queue filled the whole courtyard, but the queue was still not finished. In desperation, Song Yun had no choice but to guide the first few diners to sit in the hall. The rest could not be queued, so they had to walk along the street of Yunmengju.

The courtyard walls were lined up in a row and finally completed.

Just after finishing his work, Chu Yunmeng walked out of the kitchen.

While wiping her hands with her apron, she walked out and couldn't help but be startled when she saw the hall full of guests and the people lining the courtyard like piles of people.

Song Yun frowned at Chu Yunmeng and said seriously: "Shopkeeper Yun, it's time for you to hire more people! These customers are surrounding the outside, but they have blocked the entire Lihua Lane..."

Chu Yunmeng was stunned, and then she understood what happened, and quickly saluted Song Yun: "Thank you very much for Song Baotou's help. Today we have a new bean hoof, and I sincerely invite Song Baotou to taste it."

After saying that, he quickly went to the door to write today's new dishes and prices, and then went to the hall to entertain the diners and ask if they wanted to order.

Without exception, everyone ordered today's new dish, Beans and Pork Chops, and everyone had their own preferences for the other side dishes.

Chu Yunmeng quickly served everyone the dishes they ordered, and within a quarter of an hour, they turned over one dish.

Then, she served the next diners as quickly as possible, and so on, until the end of the day, almost all the diners were served.

Of course, while entertaining all the diners, Chu Yunmeng led Song Yun to the reception hall of his private residence, served Song Yun a table alone, and waived all his expenses.

When all the diners dispersed, she found that Song Yun hadn't left yet, so she looked at him with confusion.

Song Yun murmured for a long time and finally said: "Shopkeeper Yun's craftsmanship is really extraordinary. No wonder he was so confident that day."

After saying that, he smiled for the first time. Then he took out a bunch of copper cloth coins and said: "This is one hundred copper cloth coins. From now on, Song will have his dinner at Yunmengju. You can help me count it. If it's almost not enough, tell me."

I."

Then turned and left.

Chu Yunmeng chased after her, but her steps and polite words were forcibly stopped by her.

Well, he is a loyal diner. I just waived tonight's order, and I won't be polite to him in the future. At worst, for the sake of his help, I will give him a few more discounts and give him a few more days of food.

That’s it.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng put away the bunch of copper cloth coins and continued to prepare for tomorrow.

Judging from how popular the beans are today, many people will definitely order them tomorrow. Fortunately, she soaked the beans and marinated the beans early today.

Today's unexpected situation and Song Yun's reminder also made Chu Yunmeng realize that she really needed help.

She did a simple calculation and found that she had entertained more than a hundred diners today; and because the bean hoof was time-consuming to make, the price had gone up a bit. The average cost of a meal per person was around sixty-five dollars.

In total, I earned about 8,000 faces, which is equivalent to eight gold cakes.

In addition to the ten gold cakes earned a while ago and the one hundred copper cloth coins (approximately equivalent to one gold cake) that Song Captou had just paid in advance, she already had about twenty gold cakes on hand.

Buying two male slaves and a female slave in this way is more than enough.
