[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

After Wanwan's parents came, the small family suddenly became lively.Her mother does laundry, cooking, sweeping the yard, and everything.Her father and Xiao Jiang took care of the business of the small shop together so that Wanwan could rest more.

Seeing the good business in the store, Wan Wan's father praised Daiyu in front of Xiao Jiang: "It's really thanks to that princess, who helped you so much, even the store opened, and the business is still so good!"

Xiao Jiang also replied: "Yes, the princess has helped me a lot, like a reborn parent. Without her, I might still be a soldier in the frontier."

"Your child has also endured hardship and is self-motivated, otherwise we wouldn't trust you to hand over Wan Wan to you. It's all right now, both of you husband and wife, work hard, and Wan Wan and I will help each other if there is anything, life will get better and better. Come and get better."

Weng and son-in-law talked heart-to-heart while working, and they became closer than before.Come to the store every night, thinking that it is not good for me to be idle, so I discussed with Xiao Jiang: "Sister Daiyu doesn't have enough manpower to manage things. Although she worked hard, she can only do some simple tasks. I still plan to go to Mr. Li's to study, but I'm afraid I can't do what I want. Why don't I help Sister Daiyu starting tomorrow, and I can do the cooking and accounting work in the store, so she won't be in a hurry."

Xiao Jiang was very happy to think about this at night, and he also knew that Uncle Lin and the others had returned to their hometown, but he hated that he only had two hands, so he really couldn't spare time.Now that Wanwan proposed it on his own initiative, he naturally agreed: "Our shop is small, and my father and I are enough. Then you can help my sister and see what she needs."

"Okay." The couple agreed, and Wanwan went to find Daiyu the next day.

At Daiyu's house, Zhang Dali was in high spirits because he had to go to school in a few days, and his whole face looked radiant.Don't look at her looking silly, but she is actually very smart. Before going to school, she is planning to go back to the village to set up a school after studying for a few years to teach children to read.There is no decent school in their village, so almost everyone can't read and write, and the whole village has no hope of taking the imperial examination for official career.

Seeing Dali in high spirits every night, I couldn't help joking with her: "Oh, my sister is more supportive here, it seems that Dali works a lot more quickly."

Daiyu said with a smile: "You, you have a sharp tongue and a sharp mouth to tease her about what to do. It's rare that she is diligent in doing things and has helped me a lot."

"That's right, I learned a few new dishes with my sister, and I'll make them for you to try later. By the way, what should you do when you come to your own shop? Is Xiaojiang too busy to cook alone?" Zhang Dali asked Wanwan.

"You forgot that my parents are here, and they are also helping to look after the store. I don't need to do anything, and I will help you."

Daiyu: "You are all here, I have more helpers here than before! Just in time, I want to make some new tricks recently, the weather is getting hot, adding some cold dishes is the business, and I will make some appetizers for the main course , so that the business of the three stores can be revitalized."

Wanwan and Zhang Dali are both country girls. They used to eat simple food at home, and it would be nice to fill their stomachs. After coming to Tokyo, they realized that there are so many delicacies in the world. The dishes in the store in front of them are just It had already opened their eyes, and when Daiyu said that they were going to prepare new dishes, they were filled with anticipation.

Daiyu went around the kitchen to check the existing ingredients, and came up with a main dish of steamed pork ribs, braised pork intestines, and spicy river prawns. The cold dishes were mashed garlic beans and tofu with shallots. The ingredients for these dishes were already available and prepared. It doesn't take much effort to get up, she does it twice, and Wanwan, Dali and Dongniu can almost learn it.

Dongniu, Wanwan and a few shop assistants were busy with the store's business, helping Daiyu to prepare new dishes, whether it was choosing dishes or lighting the fire, she was a good hand.

The kitchen was a little hot, and Daiyu was so busy that she was sweating. Dali found a fan to help Daiyu: "Sister, I have never admired others when I grew up. My father said that I am hard-headed. But now, I am I really admire you."

While turning over the river prawns in the wok, Daiyu was curious: "Oh? What do you admire about me? Hehe, no one has ever said that they admire me."

Zhang Dali began to explain seriously: "Look at you, not only do you look good, you are like a fairy, you are kind-hearted, you can read and write, you can cook well, and you have opened three restaurants. Although you are a princess, but There is no airs at all, when my father sent me here, I was really afraid that you would think I was rude and would not accept me..."

Daiyu turned her head and smiled vigorously: "It's nothing, as long as I can do it, I will naturally reach out. Besides, I am not the only one who helps others, they often help me too. You see, you and Wanwan are here right now. Can you help me a lot? Only when relatives and friends understand each other can we make progress together.

"You're really good. Unlike my relatives, I'm afraid I'll get something, and I won't be happy if I can't take advantage of it." Zhang Dali no longer treats Daiyu as an outsider, and starts chatting about his parents.

"No one is perfect, and there are troubles. But look at me, I am so busy every day, running around the house and palace, sometimes I have to go to the martial arts gym, and more importantly, I have to earn money. I don't have time. Think about those bad things, so just turn a blind eye and close your eyes, don’t worry about it. People live a lifetime, and it’s easy to do what you want to do well. Right now, all you should do is earn wages plus Go to school and study hard, since you have chosen to work hard, it is even more difficult for women in this world, if you study more and understand things, you will always have a better life." Daiyu also spoke the truth to Zhang Dali.

"Sister, I won't let you down, I must learn from my husband."

"That's good. You can ask me if you don't understand anything when you get home. Although I am not as knowledgeable as my husband, I still know a thing or two."

"Thank you sister!"

About an hour later, Daiyu's new dishes were basically ready, so she vigorously called Dongniu and Wanwan over to taste them together.

Dong Niu looked at the large and small bowls on the table, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this is not a new dish, but let's start the meal directly! There are all kinds of meat and vegetable combinations, and you can eat several bowls just looking at it!"

Daiyu: "Then move your chopsticks and try it out, see if it suits your taste."

A few people sat around the table and tried every dish. Dali loves meat, and the bowl of steamed pork ribs and braised pork intestines was very suitable for her appetite. , I think my sister can open a few more branches, hahaha..."

"Dali is right, the cooking is so delicious, it will definitely sell well!" Wan Wan also said.

Daiyu is naturally smiling. It seems that so far, the new dishes she has studied have not made any mistakes, and everyone likes them very much: "In this case, starting from tomorrow, the store can start selling these dishes. , you have to follow along and study hard, you have to cook the dishes in the branch store yourself."

Everyone replied: "Okay, make sure you learn it early!"

In this way, the new recipe created by the Lin family to welcome the summer was replaced, and the signature dishes at the door were also replaced with steamed pork ribs and braised pork intestines.In fact, people in Song Dynasty don’t eat pig intestines very much, and they always feel that this thing seems to be inaccessible. Therefore, they also wondered what kind of tricks Lin’s shop can make pig intestines. They also went to the store to order a portion with the mentality of eating crabs. Pig large intestine, the sauce-flavored pig large intestine is soft and soft, not as difficult to eat as imagined, and even has a unique chewiness.

Soon, Lin’s pig’s large intestine became famous, and more and more people came to eat it every day. The business of the three stores was much better than when it was cold. It seems that Daiyu’s idea was successful. These dishes are really suitable for summer appetizers eat.

Seeing that the business is getting better and better, now not only Qingzhao often comes to help, but even Lu Qingzhou often comes to serve as a temporary waiter after going to court to handle government affairs.Customers are not surprised to often see court officials in the store, after all, this store is opened by a princess, and there may be any high-ranking officials.

Because Wanwan also launched these dishes in her own restaurant, the number of diners increased greatly, and she could no longer take care of Daiyu, so she could only stay at home and follow Xiao Jiang to busy work.On the contrary, her mother was afraid that Daiyu and sister-in-law would not have time to take care of the child, so she often went to look after Yu'er.It was because of watching the children that Wan Wanniang met Lu Qingzhou, and the old man immediately fell in love with this handsome and handsome young man. Unfortunately, his daughter was already married, so she planned to tell her niece to Lu Qingzhou.

As soon as Wan Wanniang got home, she told Wan Wan about this: "I found a good young man at your sister Daiyu's house today. He is really like a fairy brother. I was thinking about telling your cousin what to do?"

Wanwan was baffled by her mother, when did she become a matchmaker, and when did sister Daiyu have a god brother, why didn't she know?Wan Wan couldn't help but ask: "Mom, what's the name of the son you mentioned?"

"I just took a few sneak peeks today, but I haven't had time to strike up a conversation, so I don't know the name, but I heard some people call him Mr. Lu."

Wan Wan opened her eyes wide: "Lord Lu? Lu Qingzhou?"

Her mother thought for a while: "It seems to be called such a name..."

Wan Wan couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, you really dare to think, do you know who that Lord Lu is? He is the son-in-law who was married to sister Daiyu by the late emperor, General Jingyuan of the current dynasty. Go home!"

Now it was Wan Wanniang's turn to be surprised, she folded her hands and kept praying: "Amitabha, I have committed a sin, the old woman does not know how serious it is, and almost ruined the good marriage of the princess..."

Wanwan snickered at her mother: "You, don't mess with the mandarin ducks in the future. There are so many rich and powerful families in Tokyo, and our background is not enough. Under the protection of the princess, Xiao Jiang and I can live comfortably. , is already a great blessing, so don’t think about anything else.”

"Mother knows, mother knows, and I won't think about it again in the future."

Wanwan told her mother again and again: "Don't tell father and Xiaojiang what you said to me, especially Xiaojiang. He regards Daiyu as his own sister. If he knows that you are still thinking about being a matchmaker for his brother-in-law, he won't be afraid." Thorns are not good for our family."

"Hey, mother listens to you and doesn't tell anyone else, not even your father. But I don't have bad intentions, I just think that Mr. Lu didn't have a family. Don't worry, mother won't be confused. .”
