Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Yu Xiaochuan had never been to Lihua Town, so he stumbled around in the market and finally found a small shop selling makeup.

He carried 100 yuan on his body and asked the shopkeeper about the style of rouge: "Shopkeeper, I am buying some rouge for my sister and grandma. Do you have a suitable style?"

The shopkeeper gave Yu Xiaochuan three different styles to choose from. He chose the cheapest one and said, "That's it. I want two copies. Does the boss have any balm or powder?"

The shopkeeper turned around and took out a box from the cabinet and opened it. There were various small bottles of balm in it: "Of course, what scent do you want?"

Yu Xiaochuan recalled the faint floral fragrance he smelled in Maoxi's shop: "It seemed like the fragrance of plum blossoms in winter."

The shopkeeper of the cosmetics shop took a bottle of white ointment and said, "Sir, please smell it and see if it is this fragrance. This fragrance is called 'Lengmei'."

After Yu Xiaochuan smelled it and confirmed the fragrance, he asked the shopkeeper to take two bottles.

"Sir, here are two boxes of rouge and two bottles of ointment, a total of 23 coins."

Yu Xiaochuan packed the gifts with satisfaction, and when he came out of the shop, Zhe Mei was walking towards him to buy rouge in the shop.

Yu Xiaochuan looked back at Zhemei and was deeply attracted by her appearance. Then he turned his head and muttered to himself: "What are you thinking about? Go home quickly. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law must like the rouge balm I bought."

The original site of Ruifeng Building was renovated, and Ma Xi passed by there several times when it was closing.

Seeing that the red hydrangeas and lanterns at the entrance of the store have been hung up, I guess it is about to open.

Five days later, at noon, Lou Laner came back from selling popcorn at the cross street and said excitedly to everyone: "That new restaurant has opened, and there is a lion dancing at the door of the restaurant!"

There were many fewer customers in Liuxiang Snack Shop that day, so Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan went to watch the fun.

The restaurant's plaque reads "Judinglou" in three gilded characters. The lion dance and drums were much bigger than the day she opened Liuxiang Snacks. There were twelve men playing drums alone.

Mu Zhiyuan asked Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, do you want to go in and have a taste?"

Mao Xi shook his head, still standing outside the crowd and watching.

From outside, she saw that the restaurant was full of people, and there were also carriages parked outside the restaurant. It seemed that there were people from outside the town who came to support the restaurant.

There were also a bunch of people outside the building who came to join in the fun. Some young ladies just came to watch the muscular boys play the drums.

Sure enough, the aesthetics of ancient and modern times are consistent! Even Ma Xi couldn't help but look at the muscular abdominal muscles of the drumming boys.

Mu Zhiyuan was the perfect person to spy on the news, so Shu Xi pushed him forward.

"Brother Mu, why don't you go to the restaurant and ask me some questions? I'll go back to the shop first."

Xiao Qing and Lou Lan'er were idle in the shop. There were not many people there that day. Only those who came to buy coffee and take-out fruits were not affected.

Mao Xi went to the kitchen to check. The various vegetables packaged in the morning were only half sold.

The mountain and sea bag that Xiaoqing prepared early in the morning collapsed, and there was still a large pot that was not packed.

Mao Xi simply kneaded the dough, rolled out some wonton wrappers, and called the two of them over to wrap the wontons.

Xiao Qing understood that Mao Xi didn't want to waste the fillings, but the price would be lower if the wontons were wrapped: "Ah Mao, if we don't want to waste these fillings, we can fry them into meatballs and sell them. If the wontons cannot be sold, it will be a waste."

Mao Xi wrapped the filling in the wonton wrapper, folded it in half and rolled it into the shape of an ingot. She said confidently: "Look, these are Yuanbao wontons. They can be boiled or fried. Let's wrap them up first. If we can't sell them all, I'll freeze them in an ice bucket."

Xiao Qing and Lou Lan'er came over to help, and they were all finished in a short time. Mao Xi fried 30 Yuanbao wontons in one go. They were fried golden and looked very auspicious.

A diner came from the outer room and entered the restaurant smelling the smell of frying.

"Shopkeeper, what are you making? It smells so good, but is it fried meat?"

When Mao Xi saw the guests, he directly brought a plate of freshly fried wontons and said, "Sir, these are fried ingot wontons stuffed with fish, shrimp, bamboo shoots and mushrooms. Each portion costs 15 yuan. Do you want to try them?"

The customers were salivating and nodded hurriedly.

He picked up a fried wonton and took a bite into it. The puff pastry was fried to a crispy texture and reached the top of his skull in an instant. The crispy texture was addictive.

Contrary to the crispy skin, the filling is fresh and soft, retaining the original taste of the ingredients.

One plate wasn't enough, so he ordered another and even took one out.

Xiao Qing and Mao Xi looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the wontons would not be unsold today.

Since the wontons are small, only half the size of Shanhaidou, Mao Xi sells five per plate.

When it was time to close, Ma Xi took some inventory and found that there were still two baskets of Shanhaidou and Yudouzi left that were not sold out, so she ate them with everyone as a late-night snack.

After Mu Zhiyuan inquired about the news about Juding Tower, he ran to Liuxiang Snack Shop and reported to Mao Xi about the spying on the enemy.

He saw that everyone was eating the unsold Douzi dishes, so he sat down to eat first.

Seeing that he was pretending, Ma Xi hurriedly urged: "Brother Mu, I'm so worried. Please tell me what's going on in the new restaurant so I can see how to deal with it next!"

Mu Zhiyuan took his time, finished a fish bag, and then said slowly: "The shopkeeper of Juding Restaurant is hired from Beidu. In fact, the person who wants to open this restaurant is a mysterious financier from Beidu. What are the details? Who it is, I don’t know.”

Mao Xi was thoughtful, feeling like he had met his opponent: "So, the specifications and dishes of this restaurant are replicas of the big restaurants in Beidu?"

"Yes, the dishes and prices are consistent with the major restaurants in Beidu. I originally thought it was a benchmark for Qingxiang Restaurant or Fanlou in Kaitang County, but I didn't expect that it would be configured directly according to the standards of large restaurants in the capital, let alone The utensils and tableware for serving dishes are also made of fine porcelain and silverware.

Ah Shu, if you want to open a restaurant in Kaitang County, you might as well defeat the Juding Tower in Lihua Town first. "

Mao Xi was a little panicked, and compared her snack shop to a restaurant, they were not even on the same level.

Mu Zhiyuan continued: "But don't worry, the prices of vegetables in Judinglou are too expensive. There is a discount for today's opening. People in Lihua Town may not be able to afford it if they eat every day. But today, the president of Kaitang County's commercial bank Mr. Zhou is here to support us."

Xiaoqing and Lou Laner's eyes were full of sorrow. It was only the first day that Judinglou opened, and the business of Liuxiang Snacks had deteriorated a lot today.

Seeing that everyone was a little frustrated, Mao Xi cheered up: "We are not afraid of Qingxiang Tower, why are we afraid of Juding Tower? The dishes in Beidu Restaurant may not be suitable for the tastes of the people in Lingnan."

Lou Lan'er only sold half of a beggar's chicken today. She said as dejectedly as a capon: "Ah Shu, then are you going to open a restaurant in Kaitang County?"

"We'll see how things go after taking stock at the end of the month. I'll have to add some new dishes. The new chef will be here tomorrow."
