Seed dealers in ancient times

Zheng Jiang stopped thinking about something, got up early the next day, and opened the door. The sky outside was still gray, but the latch of the courtyard door had already been opened. He walked slowly to open the courtyard door, and in the alley It was dark, and there was an occasional sound of the door opening, and it was very deep and long in the deep alley.

I thought I got up early enough, but I didn't realize that someone had already left the door before him, and Zou Yun must have arrived at the master's house by now.He wasn't in a hurry to go out. At this time, many shops were probably preparing to open, and he didn't look for errands so early.

Back in the house, according to his thoughts last night, he planned to cook a bowl of noodles, but the result was that there was no flour at all in the house, so his idea came to nothing, so he could only eat some hastily.

After tidying up, it was Chenshi in a blink of an eye, and when we left the alley, the street was already bustling with activity.

The Fuyuezhai said by Brother Xian is on the East Street, which is the most prosperous area in Jincheng. There are most people playing and having fun on the whole street. The area on the left bank is next to the river. Snow is the most leisurely and elegant location, and the right side is not near the river, so the location is slightly inferior, mostly gold and silver jewelry shops, silk and satin cloth shops, all in all, expensive food and clothing are all on this street .

Go north at the end of the East Street, behind a row of weeping willows is a large mansion, most of which are rich merchants, dignitaries and dignitaries. The rich and well-known families in Jincheng love to crowd there.

Zheng Jiangting can vaguely see the majestic mansion gates, the smallest one is as big as more than ten families on Qingwu Street, it is really a rich area.

He turned his gaze back and found the signboard of Fuyuezhai in the middle of the East Street, with big gilt characters and cascading small buildings, it is a good place where you can eat and drink tea.

It's not time for meals, and the guests who come in and out are sparsely coming in to drink tea and listen to music. Zheng Jiang stopped to look up at the signboard, and then walked in with the guests.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Just as he stepped through the door, Zheng Jiangting was stopped by a small-eyed guy.

"I heard that Fuyuezhai is recruiting a cook, so I'm here to apply."

Hearing this, the clerk looked up and down: "You don't look like a cook, don't come here to deceive. Where did you work as an errand in a restaurant before?"

Zheng Jiang paused to wrinkle his brows, and asked politely but not politely: "Little brother is the manager of Fuyuezhai?"

The buddy choked for a while, stuck his neck and said: "I ask you what you want to answer, why are you talking so much?"

"Little brother is not in charge and can't make the decision. No matter how much I say, is it meaningful?"

"Hey, I think you are here to make trouble!" Seeing that you are a tough guy, the man was upset that he didn't take advantage of his words, and rolled up his sleeves as if trying to drive him away: "You are Fu Yuezhai, and you Can such a poor-faced person come to interfere?"

"Little Eight!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind interrupted the growing anger, the man turned his head, and immediately stopped the arrogance just now, and called out politely: "Mr. Yunrong."

Zheng Jiang stopped to look up and saw a man with a pipa in his arms and a veil walking towards him.

Although the person in front of him painted his eyebrows and put on makeup, and changed into bright clothes, when Zheng Jiangting saw those red phoenix eyes, he still recognized Brother Xian at once.

Chu Xian greeted warmly: "Brother Zheng is here?"

"Just arrived."

Chu Xian nodded, then turned to the waiter and said, "The back cook just left. This is the cook recommended by my co-worker. Please help me take care of one or two."

Although the tone was cold, the clerk still smiled and agreed: "I didn't know that it was the person recommended by Mr. Yunrong. No wonder he looks very talented. Once the young master confessed, Xiao Ba must greet the young master well, which attracted this Brother go find the steward."

Chu Xian's eyebrows moved slightly, and she looked at Zheng Jiangting again: "Brother Zheng, there are still guests waiting, so I can't lead you there, I have to go upstairs first, and if there is anything, call me again."

Zheng Jiangting didn't expect to trouble him again, and nodded quickly: "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Chu Xian didn't speak any more, and slowly went upstairs with her pipa in her arms. Zheng Jiang felt that Brother Xian was completely different when he was at Fuyue Zhai and at home.

"Let's see, do you want to go or not?"

The guy is not in a good mood.

Zheng Jiang didn't get angry but laughed: "I think it's more suitable for the little brother to sing in the theater than to be a buddy." His face changed so quickly.

The man muttered: "I wish you were as good at cooking as you are at talking, but don't lose the face of Mr. Yunrong and make people laugh."

While speaking, the two walked through the hall and walked around to the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of Fuyue Zhai is spacious, and Zheng Jiang felt that it was almost as big as his own house. The most annoying thing was that on this basis, his yard was twice as big as his own.

At this moment, the people in the back kitchen are preparing lunch meals, and the rice is steaming in more than a dozen large iron pots. The steaming heat makes the whole back kitchen warm, as if in a layer of mist, the air is filled with rice sweet.

"Fasten your hands and feet, fold all the scallions and celery, and wash everything that needs to be washed! If you ask the guests to pick out a hair, each pack up and go home!"

Zheng Jiang listened to the imposing reprimand, and as the man approached, he saw Fu Yuezhai's steward, a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and thin, standing in a long robe. Among the cooks and servants, he seemed to stand out from the crowd, and he was about the same height as him when he came over.

"Are you the cook recommended by Yunrong?"

"It was recommended by Mr. Yunrong, and I just confessed it." The guy talked fast, and before Zheng Jiangting could answer, he rushed to speak.

But the person in charge frowned, and slapped the buddy away: "Who asked you something, go away and busy with you, don't play tricks and be lazy here."

The buddy responded, and went back into the hall in despair.

The manager looked at Zheng Jiangting again: "What do you know? Do you have the best dishes?"

"Steamed, boiled, fried, and cold." Zheng Jiang stopped to think about it. If he wanted to talk about big dishes, he really didn't specialize in them, but if he didn't bring out something, it would be difficult to keep it, just as The buddy said, don't lose Brother Xian's face when the time comes, it's not hard to see that Brother Xian has a bit of a face in Fuyue Zhai along the way.

Judging from the memory of the original body, this era is still early. If we compare it according to the development of the long river of history, the present must be before Tang Dynasty, but many good things have not yet appeared.Yesterday, he didn't even have chili peppers in his fish. Instead, he used cornel and mustard pepper, which can be described as bitter.

Nowadays, eating is nothing more than paying attention to the beauty of taste and appearance, and Fu Yuezhai prides itself on being elegant, so if you cook a good-looking dish, it should be very suitable for the occasion.

"I can't say I'm good at big dishes, but I can order opportunistic dishes. Can the steward let me try?"

Liao Jianzhang thought for a while, seeing that it was still early and there were spare pots and stoves, he agreed after thinking about it.

Zheng Jiang stopped in a corner, and the people in the back kitchen wanted to gather around to watch the excitement, but Liao Jianzhang threw them all out: "I'm done with the work at hand, right! I still want to go home and rest!"

Zheng Jiang stopped to ignore the people around him, and went alone to find all the ingredients and pots he needed.
