Mr. Minguo's kitchen

The elegant seats on the second floor.

Lin Muying was lying on the table, also frowning like shopkeeper Tong, "Brother, you are too impulsive this time, the officials and ordinary people can't afford to mess with them..."

Lin Weirui leisurely acted as if he wasn't the one who was facing the catastrophe, and was feeding his new favorite fish, "I heard that Nanxiang Newspaper is familiar with fourth uncle?"

Lin Muying also began to feed the fish with drooping face, "Well, my dad bought the shares back then." Alas, why didn't the fish eat what I invested in? !

"When I owed my fourth uncle a favor and asked the Nanxiang Newspaper to report today's events, the headline started: The chief of the police department guarded his wife and younger brother's restaurant to cause trouble, and there was Feng Lai who was angry and closed the door in protest."

Lin Muying was dumbfounded, still, is there such an operation?You can still say that when you are forced to close the door, but you put Youfeng Laiju on the side of the common people, and you are quite upright and awe-inspiring.

But the elder sister Zhuang heard the servant report that her younger brother had been beaten the next day, and immediately went crazy.She is just such a precious little brother, she was beaten up now, and she heard that she was still locked up, so she couldn't sit still, so she immediately asked people to bring a dozen policemen to surround Youfeng to live.She also knew that she had pulled her face as a fig leaf, saying that she had received a report that Feng Laiju was suspected of kidnapping and beating guests.

It's a pity that Youfeng Laiju has not opened the door since the morning. It is impossible to force your way in. These dozen or so policemen are all subordinates of her husband. Without his order, they absolutely have no right to shoot.Sister Zhuang saw that there was no one who could not live in Fenglai, so she went to cry to her husband, but was dumped by the newspaper.

The next day's newspapers were indeed full of stories about the chief of the police department abusing his private power to protect his wife and brother.Not only the Nanxiang Newspaper, but also other major newspapers and tabloids in the province have also reproduced it.Since the founding of the Republic of China, freedom of speech has been opened, and the people who run newspapers have become more and more courageous every day. They are not afraid of being investigated, but they are afraid that they will not shock the world.As long as there is news, the scandal of the great president will be reported!

"It's been reported in the newspapers, you bitch, how dare you take someone to surround the restaurant! You think that people have no reason to take the initiative to send you to your door, don't you? I was kicked off the official hat by someone when this incident became serious. What a good day to be a young mistress!"

The people in the police station hurriedly retreated after receiving the order from their superiors.However, Fenglaiju did not reopen the next day. Instead, a soup kitchen was set up in front of the door.

Soon after the Dragon Boat Festival, the summer solstice comes, and the weather is so hot that those who insist on their status and wear long gowns in the summer all envy those low-class people who are shirtless on the street.People walk without a cover, and if they are not careful, they will suffer from heat stroke.In the back kitchen of Youfeng Laiju, everyone was shirtless, only Lin Weirui, who was doing a demonstration, was still wearing long sleeves, and he didn't seem to be sweating much.

Add fresh whole lotus leaves to the first glutinous rice harvested in the farm and cook in a large pot that can hold an adult. Mung beans, barley, lotus heart, lily, gorgon, coix seed, and red beans are soaked overnight. Wash the white fungus at least five times, put them into the glutinous rice in order, and boil on high heat.

"The order of different ingredients is different, don't put them in all at once. The lotus leaf will be taken out later, so put the whole piece down and don't touch it. Boil for two hours, add sweet-scented osmanthus sugar and turn to low heat to cook."

"Look at the fire, I'll go outside and have a look."

When Lin Weirui walked out of the kitchen, Ah Fu immediately handed him a cloth towel soaked in cold water to wipe off his sweat, and said, "Master, the clothes from the tailor shop are ready, I'll ask them to send them here today."

Lin Weirui shook her head: "Send it to Xiao Bieye, the farm is harvesting, I want to go back and watch." As he spoke, he unbuttoned the top three buttons, revealing his delicate and fair collarbone, standing under the sun, so white that it reflected the light .No matter what season, he is always too white.

Although Young Master Lin is resistant to heat, it does not mean that he is not afraid of heat.In the past, there was an air conditioner, so he could wear suits and leather shoes all year round without suffering from the heat. After arriving here, he spent the first five years in Europe, America and other places. The highest temperature in a year there is probably not as severe as an ordinary hot day in Xiangcheng summer. , so he really doesn't have many summer clothes.

Outside the door, Shopkeeper Tong tugged at the wet towel around his neck, wiped off the rain-like sweat, and murmured in a low voice that it was too hot for a thief, and fatter people always sweat more easily.Seeing the owner coming out, he hurriedly said: "Young master, our side is almost ready, you go into the house and let the sun shine outside." Seeing that there was no problem, Lin Weirui was about to leave, took a step and came back, "Master Tong , are you fat again?"

Shopkeeper Tong put his stomach away and smiled dryly.The food in the newly opened restaurant is very good. Even though it is busier than before, the days are comfortable and the food is good. How can this not be fat!

Lin Weirui turned her head away in disgust, "Cancel your staff meal this month, go home and eat."

Ah Fu suppressed a smile beside him, patted Shopkeeper Tong who seemed as if the sky had fallen, and then chased after him and asked, "Master, when will our restaurant reopen?"

"Isn't it good to give you a holiday?" The restaurant has never stopped before, whether it's the people in the back kitchen or the waiters, they are always busy all day long, and there is no one to rest, so Lin Weirui simply let them go for three days. A bonus was issued.But not many people went out to play. The waiter’s younger brother would wipe the table when there were no guests, occasionally feeding and ignoring their koi, and the girls who were in charge of entertaining distinguished guests on the second floor helped take the young master and his classmates on vacation. .As for Dabao, they continued to tinker in the kitchen, following him to learn how to make summer solstice porridge.

"It's good, it's just distressing. How much money we make in a day of opening is also disturbed by that Zhuang Laosan! And now because of the pressure of public opinion, Ms. Zhuang dare not do any small tricks, but she definitely hates us. Now, I don’t know how much trouble the people from the police department will cause us in the future! Since ancient times, the people can’t beat the officials.”

Lin Weirui just smiled and said nothing, "Tell shopkeeper Tong that the porridge will be given out for three days, and it will open in three days. This time we will serve a few new signature dishes. Doesn't the Zhenxing Building think that we are in the way of them? Then we might as well take the road away." Take it."

Yu Zuotang went to Shanghai before and just came back today.He hadn't tasted Youfeng Laiju's dishes for many days, but he was so depressed that nothing tasted good in his mouth.As soon as I got home, I brought my wife and children here.Unexpectedly, Youfeng Laiju didn't open for business. It was only after chatting with the shopkeeper Tong at the door that I understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"Although Mr. Lin is a little impulsive, Yu has admiration for his character. So the restaurant is closed today? Are you giving porridge?"

"That's right, it's not the summer solstice. The young master said it's hot, so cook some summer solstice porridge for everyone to cool off! Take from the people and return to the people. We also give every guest who has a VIP card Mr. Yu came just in time, this porridge was boiled by the young master himself, it has been boiled on the stove for four hours, there are many good things in it, you have to taste it."

Yu Zuotang was even happier when he heard that, this Mr. Lin is the real expert, and he is really not an ordinary person when he makes a move.The family received the porridge and went home happily.

There are melted ice cubes on the outside of the food box, and there is a hint of cold air.When the lid was opened, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came out first, Madam Yu smiled when she smelled it: "You Fenglaiju is too generous, this candy is actually made of sweet-scented osmanthus honey, really willing to spend the money."

Although there are many ingredients mixed in this porridge, it doesn't feel complicated. The whole bowl of porridge is yellow and white, and it looks cool.The viscous sugar water is wrapped in various materials, and when you scoop it with a spoon, you can still see the crystal wire drawing.A mouthful of porridge, with a slight coolness, eased from the throat to Ku Xia's stomach.There are not only the soft, glutinous and lovely grains, full of harvest, but also the refreshing summer solstice of lotus leaves, which is invisible, and the sweet but not greasy sweet-scented osmanthus honey. It seems that what you eat is not porridge, but the cool breeze of summer solstice, Gift of nature.

The irresistible taste forces people to eat again and again, and when they come to their senses, the bowl of porridge is already empty.

Yu Zuotang scooped up another bowl, tsk-tsk said: "It's amazing, a bowl of porridge is really more delicious than meat..."

Mrs. Yu didn't care about feeding the child anymore, so she called the maid over to feed the younger son so that she could have porridge together when she had time.Putting down the bowl at this moment, I didn't speak for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, I said to my husband: "Husband, I think Mr. behaves and does things. He is an extraordinary person. Sooner or later he will jump out of this small fish pond in Xiangcheng. The director of the police department is not I have some kind of friendship with you, Mr. Lin is a person of high moral character, this time the villain made trouble, maybe you can adjust it from the sidelines, so as to form a good relationship with Mr. Lin, "

Yu Zuotang nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what I mean."
