Chapter 76 Crab Stuffed Orange
After Liu Xiangniang's Ruifeng Tower was sealed, she was also taken away by the Kaitang County government officials and will be tried in court soon.
Lou Laner asked Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, are you interested in selling Liu Xiangniang's shop to her? It's a hot potato now and no one dares to take it over. You are different. Moreover, our food shop has been replaced by a restaurant, so we can do more." gourmet food."
Mao Xi has considered this issue. She has also saved the money in the shop, but once she invests, there will be no liquid money, so she plans not to rush.
"Sister Lan'er, our snack shop is not prosperous enough. Now we rush to open a big restaurant. I'm worried that we won't have enough money to turn over, and everyone will be too busy. Let's wait a little longer."
Seeing that Shu Xi was not interested, Lou Lan'er said no more, and finally added: "But Shu, the trial of Liu Xiangniang's murder case will be held in a few days. You have to call me, I like the excitement the most. .”
"Okay, you haven't been to Kaitang County yet, let Brother Mu take us around."
Kaitang County, on the day of the trial.
Because the evidence was conclusive, Liu Xiangniang confessed to her murder. Although her deeds on the ship were unsuccessful, she was sentenced to exile in the northwest frontier for being the main conspirator.
The yamen officer took Liu Xiangniang and was about to go to jail. When she was about to go to jail, she glared at Mao Xi in the hall and said, "You shabby sauerkraut seller, if I hadn't bought your sauerkraut, would you have had the courage to sell it?" Selling pancakes at a stall, I originally wanted to hire you as my cook, but why don't you open a shabby shop of your own and steal my business..."
Before he could finish his words, he was dragged off by the yamen on the spot.
Some people will always attribute their mistakes to others, which reminds Shui Xi how similar they were to the leaders who passed the blame for their own mistakes and responsibilities to their subordinates in the workplace before time travel.
"Ah Shu, I'm glad you're okay. I'll take you to Fanlou to eat and wash your hands!" After leaving the Kaitang County Yamen, Mu Zhiyuan took Shui Xi and Lou Lan'er to Fanlou.
The last time I went to the ghost market at night, I saw the Fanlou at night from a distance. Outside the building today, Mao Xi was still shocked by the decoration of the restaurant.
The two-story building is decorated with red silk in front and towering lanterns. In the middle of the inner hall, there is a high platform with singing and dancing girls to add to the fun. The upper and lower floors were packed with seats, mostly for gatherings of literati. The tables were decorated with dishes, fruits and snacks, and the dishes were mostly made of exquisite silverware.
The waiter invited the three of them to sit down in a private room on the second floor. Mu Zhiyuan casually reported the names of ten dishes, but Mao Xi had never heard of them.
"Brother Mu, have you been here before? Ten dishes are too many, right?" Shui Xi exclaimed.
Lou Lan'er smiled and said, "Brother Mu used to travel around the world, and he would come to these places to find out information. The dishes are all similar, and they all imitate the famous dishes of Beidu Restaurant."
"It's not much for the three of us. The crab-stuffed orange here is delicious. I ordered it for three people."
The waiter made a pot of tea for the three of them, and first served a plate of three-color shortbread and fruits.
While waiting for the food, Shu Xi and Lou Lan'er looked down at the singers singing a ditty on the stage.
Lou Lan'er ate the small fruit and said: "Ah Shu, if you open a restaurant, you will have to find people to sing and dance. I will not dance then, I will continue to tell stories!"
"Okay, okay! Isn't that small table in the shop just for you? Isn't it good that Zhang Xiucai writes a storybook for you when he has time?"
Three servings of "Crab Stuffed Oranges" were placed on the table. The three oranges contained steamed crab meat.
Lake crab meat, crab paste, and crab roe are picked out separately, sauteed in onion and ginger oil until fragrant, add rice wine stock and salt, stir-fry, put into an orange cup and steam for one-third and a quarter of an hour.
Mao Xi put the dish to her nose and smelled it: the aroma of oranges was refreshing. The deliciousness of crabs and the sweetness of oranges perfectly blended together. She took a bite with a spoon, and her mouth was filled with fruity aroma and endless aftertaste. .
Mao Xi was eating in small bites, while the other two had already finished the crab-stuffed orange.
She had seen this dish on TV before traveling through time, but had never eaten it.
"Ah Shu, this dish is also very popular in Beidu, and it is also a palace dish." Mu Zhiyuan introduced to Shu Xi.
"When I have free time another day, I'll make some for Grandma and Xiaodouzi to eat!"
This dish is not difficult to make, but the process of digging out crab meat is too time-consuming, so Mao Xi does not plan to add it to Liu Xiang's snack menu for the time being.
After lunch and sitting in the restaurant for a while, the three of them prepared to go home.
Before leaving Fanlou, Mao Xi passed by a cubicle and saw a familiar figure, Xue Jinlan.
In the elegant room of the complex building.
Xue Jinlan had a secret conversation at the table with a man wearing Miao clothing.
There was a row of silver on the table, and Xue Jinlan ordered the maid next to him to guard the door of the private room.
Xue Jinlan pushed all the money to the man and said: "The restaurant in Ruifeng Tower has been closed down. Now is the best time to buy it. Master Miao, please accept the money. I have already found a chef and helper for you." Well, you just need to run this restaurant well, and all the money you make will be yours."
Master Miao also knew that there is no such thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world. He asked: "Miss Xue, you specially brought me from Miao territory. What do you need me to do for you? You might as well just say it!"
"It's very simple, as long as you make Nalan Jue from Lihua Town like the food in your restaurant."
Master Miao sneered: "Humph! Miss Xue, you underestimate me. You can feed people addictive food. You can do this by opening a restaurant yourself, so why bother looking for me?"
Xue Jinlan knew that the person coming was the first poisoner in Miao territory, so how could he dare to neglect him.
She poured a cup of tea for Master Miao and said respectfully: "I heard that Master Miao has two wives who are as beautiful as gods. They both fell in love with you once they met. Can you let my lover have the same feelings for me?" ?”
Master Miao took a sip of tea and said, "Do you also know about Gu?"
"Master Miao is famous far and wide, who doesn't know?"
"Do you know that once the poison is planted, if it is removed, you will suffer the backlash."
"I am willing to give everything, as long as you can help me, and put a love charm on Mr. Nalan, so that he will only fall in love with me!"
Master Miao took out a piece of grass and said: "This is not difficult. This is a flower poison. You pray to it every day and tell the name of the person you miss. When the flower blooms, give it to me and I will make it into a flower. If it becomes a love Gu and enters Nalan Jue's food, then this will happen."
"Master Xie Miao, I'll plant it right away." Xue Jinlan immediately held the flower Gu and left Fanlou.
Miao Xian counted the money on the table and touched the mustache at the corner of his mouth. His two wives walked out from behind the tent and rubbed Miao Xian's shoulders and back.
Mrs. Lan: "Master, what do you want to name this restaurant in the future? With my sister and I's cooking skills, do you want to hire another chef?"
Mrs. Tian: "Yes, my sister and I are both good cooks. Just the two of us are enough!"
Miao Xian held the two ladies in his arms with his left and right hands, kissed each of them on the face, and said proudly: "Wouldn't it be easier to leave it to the chef? I thought the people in Kaitang County were all human beings, no To think that there is a woman trapped in love who is willing to buy and sell at a loss!"
