Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

After the Spring Festival, the temperature has warmed up, and the sales of hot pot base materials are also decreasing day by day, because the base material needs to be frozen in the cold. If it is hot, the base material will be a sticky pool of oil and water, which is not easy to transport It is also difficult to deliver as a takeaway in other places, and when the weather gets hot, the number of customers who are willing to eat hot pot is gradually decreasing.

Du Qingchen is finally free. It's not like he doesn't have new ideas to make some interesting food for spring and continue this craze. However, people can't always make money, can they?Su Dong has been busy with him all winter, shouldn't he rest?

The river ice is melting and everything is recovering. In such a good season, it is time for a spring outing. Master Liu and County Magistrate Feng also thought so, so the two of them got together and wanted to hold a literary meeting, and County Magistrate Feng He paid the money and handed it over to Du Qingchen.

Wenhui is next to the small river in the county. If Du Qingchen remembers correctly, that river is called Nigou River, which is usually only used for farmers to irrigate. Mud ditch, waterlogged river. ' This song expresses the helplessness of the farmers, meaning that when the river is used for irrigation, it dries up, and there is only mud in the river. When it is not used, the river is full of water, which can be used by people.

But this has nothing to do with this literary conference. Magistrate Feng is just interested and wants to hold an outing.

Du Qingchen's head was as big as a bucket. He didn't know the rules of the Wenhui here, so he asked Du Rulin. After all, Du Rulin had attended several times with Master Liu. Du Rulin said: "The last time we ate mutton soup. Steamed buns, Mr. Liu said, steamed buns in mutton soup taste very delicious, but it is indecent."

Du Qingchen: ...

So he also wants to prepare some mutton soup?

"Is there any more? Other literature clubs you have heard of are also available." Du Qingchen continued to ask.

"Master Liu mentioned the literary meeting he attended last time and said that the pancakes were good."

Du Qingchen: ...

So it’s not enough to say that a small county is not good, the literary society is like this, how can there be the elegance and style of a scholar!

"However," Du Rulin thought of something, and said hastily, "The essay meeting I attended at Tao Taishou's house was different."

"That's right! The party at his house must be a reference. What did you eat at his house?" Du Qingchen asked quickly.

"Well, I heard from my servants that Tao Taishou's banquet is about sixteen dishes, eight gui, and four snacks. What you want is a stable and well-mannered one. But to be honest, the taste is really ordinary, and it's not as good as mutton soup. Mo." Du Rulin complained silently.

Du Qingchen: ...

Du Qingchen sighed secretly, "Okay, I understand, then I can play as I please, as I think."

"That's right! Brother, don't think too much about it. No one cares about this. In the past, everyone had a bowl of mutton soup, and they were happy to eat? There is no paper, so you can lie on the ground and write, aren't you happy?" Du Rulin said.

Du Qingchen was speechless, "Okay! I know, I won't let each of you have a bowl and wait to drink mutton soup and eat cakes."

Du Rulin laughed, "Actually, I think hot pot is also fine."

Du Qingchen patted Du Rulin's shoulder silently. Ever since Du Rulin passed the Tongsheng examination, he was not willing to let him touch his head, so he could only take the next best thing and pat his shoulder.

"Review well, don't think too much, just wait for the essay meeting when the time comes."

What kind of pot is on fire!A group of scholars in Confucian robes are holding bowls around the pot and eating hot pot by the river. It’s not as elegant as sheep soup and pancakes!Du Qingchen simply went to the place where Nigouhe Dingwenhui was, to see what kind of food would be suitable.Of course, Su Dong had to be brought along for such an outing. The Du family had already bought a carriage, so Du Qingchen drove the carriage and took Su Dong to the Wenhui venue.

Naturally, County Magistrate Feng didn't decide on the location just by pointing at it. Not all farmland beside the Nigou River, there is a peach blossom forest near the outskirts of the county town, and it is also the favorite meeting place for scholars in Pingxing County. It was the destination of Du Qingchen's trip.

The fragrance is curling up, and the shadows are sparse and the fragrance is dark.

Standing in the peach blossom forest, Du Qingchen took a deep breath and felt refreshed. Su Dong was already happy to pick up the petals. He hadn't gone out to play for a long time.

Du Qingchen couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Such a beautiful view, what kind of mutton soup and hot pot are you eating, what are you thinking about!"Du Qingchen already has his own ideas. Since there are so many peach blossoms here, only the peach blossom banquet can best match the scenery here!

Du Qingchen shuttled through the peach blossom forest, quickly selected a suitable place for the banquet, and said to Su Dong, "Let's go, Brother Dong."

"Oh." Su Dong reluctantly held the petals he picked up, and stood there hesitantly.

Du Qingchen looked back and chuckled, "Brother Dong, and when you came, there were so many times! How about asking you to bring someone to pick the petals tomorrow?"

"Picking petals?" Su Dong was surprised. Didn't he say that there was going to be a banquet?Why pick flowers?

"That's right! Everyone please eat flowers. Since you like this place, you can bring a few guys over to pick flowers tomorrow!" Du Qingchen said with a smile.Anyway, there is a carriage, so Su Dong won't be tired, and picking flowers doesn't need much trouble, it's just suitable for Su Dong to play while supervising work, and he can play here all day.

Although Su Dong didn't understand why Du Qingchen said that, he must have his own reasons for doing things, so he nodded heavily.

After returning, Du Qingchen found a buddy and asked them to go pick peach blossoms with Su Dong tomorrow, as long as they cleaned the whole blooms, put them in a clean basket and brought them back, saying that he would cook.What can petals do?While the guys were at a loss, they were also very curious. After all, their boss is a very curious person. Since opening the restaurant, new dishes have been released one after another. It is not unusual to be able to cook with flowers.

In the evening, Su Dong came back with a carriage and a basket full of peach blossoms. Du Qingchen had already prepared the wine for soaking the petals in the restaurant. After the staff washed the petals, they put the whole flower in salt water Pickled, while Du Qingchen took the petals and put them in the wine syrup with rock sugar to soak the wine. As the wine for the peach blossom feast, the Wenhui will arrive in a few days, so Du Qingchen can only soak it casually, just to suit the occasion.

Early in the morning of the Wenhui, Du Qingchen sent the prepared dishes to the carriage, and transported them to the Peach Blossom Forest one after another. Not long after they were set up, County Magistrate Feng and Master Liu came hand in hand. Master Liu said with a smile: "In the past few days I I have always heard that you are going to hold a peach blossom feast, and you have always been mysterious, and you are not even allowed to see it. Today, I can finally see the true face of your peach blossom feast."

Du Qingchen turned around and bowed to the two of them, "I'm wronged! How dare I not let you see it, Master! I just wanted to make a fool of myself. If you see everything, then there is no subtlety at all." ?”

"It seems that Qingchen is very confident and feels that the things he has prepared are very exquisite." County magistrate Feng said with a smile. Since Du Qingchen opened a restaurant in the county, he has also become a frequent customer of the restaurant, so the close relationship Next, he also changed his mouth.

Du Qingchen smiled modestly and said, "Don't dare, it's just mediocre. If you can be liked by adults, then you can be regarded as exquisite."

Magistrate Feng laughed when he heard the words, "That must be a good look."

Soon, the guests also came one after another, and there were tables and chairs in the peach blossom forest, and plates of exquisite dim sum were placed on the tables in the outer circle, most of which were related to peach blossoms.Du Rulin mixed with his classmates, and was dragged by Liu Tai to go to the food place. Magistrate Feng and Mrs. Liu were sitting at a table with snacks, chatting with light smiles.

County magistrate Feng held a peach blossom-shaped snack and said with a smile: "This peach blossom cake is very good, the skin is crispy and soft, and the taste is mellow. The most important thing is that your thought is really delicate. You know that the peach blossoms are in full bloom here, so you made so many. Desserts made of peach blossoms."

"This wine is also interesting, but is it soaked with peach petals?" Mr. Liu took a sip, and felt that the wine was very delicious with the fragrance and sweetness of peach blossoms.

Du Qingchen nodded with a smile, "Yes, Master, drinking on an empty stomach will hurt your health, so let's have a bowl of porridge first!" Du Qingchen picked up the small bowl of rice porridge on the table, and saw a few pickled peach blossoms floating on it, bright white and sticky rice. The porridge is served with pink petals, delicate and interesting.

"Can you eat the peach blossoms on your porridge?" Master Liu asked, if it was just for decoration, he should pay more attention later and don't eat it.

"Of course it is possible." Du Qingchen nodded.

Master Liu just took it and took a sip. The rice porridge was sweet with sucrose, but the peach blossom was slightly salty. The combination of the two ingredients made the rice porridge sweet and delicious.

"Boss Du, can the petals in this egg custard be eaten?" Su Junxia came over wearing a brocade robe, pulling a child who was also in a brocade robe, and asked suspiciously. Among the famous and powerful squires, Su Junxia was naturally among them.

Du Qingchen turned his head and saw Yang Liu being pulled by Su Junxia. The child seemed to have gained a lot of weight, was in good spirits, and smiled at him.

"Of course." Du Qingchen nodded.

"That's fine." Su Junxia nodded, "Liu'er insists on eating egg custard, but I don't know if the petals in this bowl can be eaten. If I can't eat them, if I go back and eat them, my stomach will be ruined, and Luo Qing will have to scold me again." Me." Su Junxia didn't care about telling the fact that he was afraid of his wife, and he didn't shy away from the existence of Yang Liu at all.

On the other side, Liu Tai pulled Du Rulin, looked around suspiciously, and said, "Is it okay to just hold it? Don't you have to wait for the banquet? And there are no seats?" He had been looking at these exquisite dim sum dishes for a long time, and he was eager to try them all. .

Du Rulin nodded, "Yes! My brother said, this is a buffet, let everyone take it by themselves, you see, others have taken what they like, and go to chat in twos and threes, don't have to be confined to the seat."

"That's okay!" Liu Tai quickly reached out to a small white porcelain bowl containing pig's trotters, and he stared at it for a long time!The trotters have been cut and disassembled by the chef for the convenience of eating, and a few pickled peach blossoms are also dotted on it.Liu Tai took the wooden chopsticks placed on the small bowl, and instead of eating the boiled crystal clear pig's trotters first, he picked up the peach blossoms for garnish, stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed.

Du Rulin's eyes widened, "You..." Du Rulin suddenly remembered that his brother said that the flowers can be eaten after pickling, so it's hard to say anything.

Liu Tai has already said vaguely: "Didn't Brother Du just say that you can eat it, I will try it first."

Du Rulin's expression was complicated, but he was also a little curious, "Is it delicious?" If it was delicious, he would try it too.

"It's delicious!" Liu Tai swallowed, and said to Du Rulin, before focusing on the pig's trotters.

Du Rulin hesitated for a moment, and also took a small white porcelain bowl next to it, which contained fish soup, and put a delicate small porcelain spoon in the bowl, Du Rulin also took a spoonful of flowers decorated on it, and put it into his mouth. The slightly salty petals cover up all the bitterness that the peach blossoms should have, and it melts in the mouth after a light sip. Although it is indeed edible, it is actually not delicious!Du Rulin felt that he had been deceived, and stared at Liu Tai, who smiled triumphantly.

Got tricked!Du Rulin thought angrily.

Seeing this scene, Qiu You walked over with a sigh, handed Du Rulin and Qiu You a small porcelain plate, and said, "This is a peach blossom cake with peach blossoms marinated in sugar. Brother Du said, this is the most delicious , although the other petals are edible, they are really just for decoration, who told you to only eat that one."

Hearing this, Liu Tai quickly put down the porcelain bowl of pig's trotters, took the porcelain plate handed to him by Qiu You, and thanked him with a smile.

"Boss Du!" From a distance, shopkeeper Qiu greeted Du Qingchen, and joined the group of County Magistrate Feng and Master Liu, "Oh, hello, Master Feng and Master Liu. Boss Su! Long time no see! Haha!" Shopkeeper Qiu cheerfully greeted everyone, and joined in naturally.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Qiu." Du Qingchen also bowed his hands and returned the salute.These days, he also understands that the Qiu family has no plans to do anything to him, perhaps because of Su Junxia, ​​or because of Mrs. Liu Feng County Magistrate and others, or because his own strength is getting stronger, but no matter what, the Qiu family is now , It seems that he intends to make friends with him, so Du Qingchen is relieved and no longer holds on to the past.

Du Qingchen sold hot pot ingredients for a whole winter. Although the time was short, he made a lot of money. Now Du Qingchen's reputation spreads far and wide, and his economic strength is getting stronger. Not to mention far surpassing the current Qiu family, but at least it can be compared Well, even with his own strength alone, the Qiu family can't do anything to him now, they can only make friends.
