Cute Beast Food Garden

Looking at Ah Jin's determined eyes, as if solemnly declaring that he is "really a great beauty", Qi Yan pursed his lips and blushed unconsciously.

In his previous life, he was still an ordinary student. From childhood to adulthood, people praised him for being handsome and handsome, and there were often female classmates in school who showed affection to him. I have heard the title of "handsome guy" a lot, but this is the first time someone carelessly praised himself as a "beauty".

Seeing the young man lower his head shyly, his eyes bewildered, Si Dongmo stretched out his hand and flicked Ah Jin's forehead.

"Ah Jin, don't talk nonsense, you scared him."

Ah Jin yelled carelessly: "Brother Mo, I'm telling the truth!"

He and Si Dongmo had an argument.But behind the noisy two people, Boss Lan, who had been silent all this time, was looking at Qi Yan firmly, with a complicated expression in his eyes, which was unpredictable.

Qi Yan recalled that, less than half an hour ago, Boss Lan had asked himself if he could transform into a human form. At that time, as a small bird dumpling, he shook his head.And now, he has really turned into a human form. I wonder if Boss Lan expected it?Can Boss Lan see through his current identity? Who is he?

"The bad guys are gone, everyone go back to the restaurant to have lunch. Today I will give you an extra plate of fish tofu, free of charge."

As soon as Boss Lan said this, Ah Jin immediately clapped his hands and jumped up: "Okay, great! I love the boss's tofu the most!" The big bag knocked out by the gangster is in a good mood, and there is no pain at all.

Si Dongmo smiled faintly, and beckoned Qi Yan to go forward: "Come and eat with us."

Boss Lan followed steadily at the end.He suddenly asked the man, "Si Dongmo, your little red bird just ran out of the back kitchen."

Si Dongmo was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Ah... it, it will go home by itself, and it won't get lost."

"Really?" Boss Lan looked at him with a smile, "It's good not to get lost. That bird is very clever, but it is a rare treasure and spirit beast. You take it home, but take good care of it."

The man unconsciously glanced at Qi Yan and nodded, "I see."

While speaking, Qi Yan felt that Boss Lan seemed to wink secretly at him.He didn't dare to confirm whether this was an illusion, because when he came back to his senses, the boss had already surpassed the pace of the two of them and walked forward.

Back in the restaurant, Ah Sheng was anxiously waiting for them: "Wang Ping, have you left yet?"

Ah Jin hummed a little song and walked back to the table, "Brother Mo beat them all away."

Ah Sheng worried: "Will he come back to take revenge?"

"Don't worry, this Wang Ping dares to mess around in the corner of the town." Boss Lan said, and personally brought a plate of fish tofu and placed it on their table. "Boss Yao loves money, but He has always hated his subordinates causing trouble. Today's incident was provoked by Wang Ping himself. He could not get support from Boss Yao's subordinates, and he himself could not beat Si Dongmo. I am afraid that he would not easily harass him again. .”

"That's good, that's good." Ah Jin listened, heaved a sigh of relief, and turned his attention to the fish tofu.

He picked up the chopsticks and unceremoniously put a piece in his mouth, showing a fascinated expression for a moment, staring straight at Boss Lan: "Boss, the craftsmanship of this fish tofu is even better than last time!"

Boss Lan covered his mouth with a gentle smile: "Really?"

"Really! After eating the fish tofu from Fourteen restaurants, the bag on my head almost melted."

Ah Sheng looked at him speechlessly: "You flatter me..." Everyone else in the room was amused and laughed.In a relaxed atmosphere, Qi Yan also quietly put a piece of fish tofu into his mouth, the saltiness was right, and the fish flavor was very strong, it was very chewy in his mouth.

Not long after, the fish meal was also served bowl by bowl, including Qi Yan who also got a bowl.Before serving the food, the man asked him in a low voice, telling him to order whatever he wanted, and he wanted to repay the favor of the bird for shelling and saving his life.

However, that being said, Qi Yan only ordered the same fish meal as they did.After all, he has just transformed, and the little bird's stomach can't adapt to the large appetite for a while, so eat some warm food slowly to appetize.

After the meal was ready, Ah Jin asked Si Dongmo: "Brother Mo, what are your plans next? Just now, the clerk at the Shanhuo store secretly told me that there will be big customers in the market in a few days, and they will come in large quantities. Buy pine nuts. The price of these pine nuts is higher than that of all nuts, and the peeled and cooked pine nuts can be sold for 35 copper coins per catty. We will go to pick pine nuts in a few days, and you will come together when the time comes!"

After hearing his proposal, Si Dongmo hesitated for a moment.At the beginning, he agreed to go to the mountains with the Le family and his son to buy goods, firstly, to repay Ah Jin's kindness in helping to take care of his mother, and secondly, to see if the road of mountain goods went smoothly and whether he could earn more savings for the family.

This time he came to the town to sell the goods, and he did make a lot of money.More than 300 copper coins. In the past, it took him four months to half a year to earn just by farming the land honestly.But now, it takes less than ten days to go to the mountains, and you can earn so much money, which is indeed much better than just farming.

However, selling mountain goods makes a lot of money and comes in quickly, and it also has corresponding disadvantages.

One is the time away from home is too long.It is often necessary to stay in the mountains for several days in a row, so that he can't take care of the situation at home. His troublesome younger brother and sick mother need to be taken care of.

Second, it is too dangerous.There will be various situations in the mountains. The pack of little wolves we encountered last time almost killed his companion, Cai, and the boy has not been able to follow him to the town because of a fever.In addition to painted wolves, there are also dangers such as honeycombs, poisonous snakes, miasma, beasts and even demons and ghosts. If you are unlucky, your life will be directly in the mountains.

Although I have practiced martial arts and have good strength, but after all, I am only a body of flesh and blood, not invulnerable to swords and guns, or invulnerable to a hundred poisons.Once something happens to me who is the pillar of the family, then the mother and younger brother will really have no way to live.The first priority that Si Dongmo has to consider is not how to make the most money, but to protect his own safety.After all, if there are green hills left, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

Seeing that Si Dongmo hesitated, Ah Sheng said, "Brother Mo, we will go into the mountain to pick pine nuts this time. We will wear special thick clothes and foot ties. We have taken all the safety measures, and we will teach you how to climb later." Trees. The place to pick pine nuts this time is closer to the mountain than last time, and we won’t go into the deep woods, and there will be more people with us, so it’s relatively safe.”

Si Dongmo smiled: "I will think about it again, thank you for your kindness."

After hearing this, the two Le family brothers stopped talking and let Si Dongmo decide for himself.They began to concentrate on the bowl of fish meal in front of them.

"This five-grain fish meal is spicy or non-spicy, but I still prefer the original flavor." Ajin gently blew on the hot soup surface, "There are vegetable leaves and fish slices in it, but My favorite is the hot fish soup, which is very refreshing on a hot day.”

"There are some herbal medicines added to the fish meal, and drinking it on a hot day can help you sweat and detoxify." A Sheng added.

After hearing his words, Qi Yan and Si Dongmo lowered their heads at the same time, and took a sip of the thick soup.

"Hmm." Qi Yan smacked his lips lightly.This is the first time he has eaten fish soup with herbs in it, which is very different from ordinary fish soup.Take a sip, and the faint herbal fragrance permeates between your lips and teeth. After drinking it on a hot day, you don't feel hot at all, but feel very refreshing.

"The fish meal is really well done," he admired.

Ah Jin looked at him, grinned, and smiled foolishly: "Of course, the skill of making this soup seems to be from Boss Lan. Boss Lan..."

Ah Sheng knocked him on the head bang, and scolded with a smile: "I know Boss Lan! He is the owner of a restaurant, how can he cook himself?"

"That's also delicious food made according to the secret recipe given by Boss Lan." Not to be outdone, Ah Jin turned to Si Dongmo, "Brother Mo, I currently think there are two people who cook the best food, one is you , and the other is the chef of these fourteen restaurants. But the cooking styles of the two of you are different."

Si Dongmo took a sip of the soup, motioned for him to continue, "Why do you see it, let's hear it."

"Brother Mo's cooking is straightforward, reflecting the original taste of the ingredients, and through a variety of collocations and fire control, each dish can be made to highlight the characteristics of the original ingredients, which is very authentic. The taste of the locals, and occasionally there are innovative ideas to make new dishes, which are very popular with the locals.”

"As for Boss Lan's restaurant, the number of diners is relatively small, and the business is not particularly booming. Why? Because Fourteen's restaurants focus on 'health-preserving meals'. Boss Lan is proficient in pharmacology, and is good at identifying and Various herbs are used, and pharmacy is applied to food. Diners can get beauty and health effects while eating, which is the characteristic of Fourteen restaurants.”

Hearing what he said, Qi Yan somewhat understood the reason why the dishes at the Fourteenth Restaurant were to his liking, but there were not many diners.

This restaurant emphasizes light and healthy cooking, which is a rare feature, but the people in this town and the surrounding villages all have heavy tastes, and diners often deliberately prefer the rare fish oil on weekdays Meat, in comparison, this restaurant is too "vegetarian" and the taste is light, not enough to attract locals to eat.

Thinking of this, he said softly: "The culinary concept of Fourteen Restaurant is very fashionable. If it can be combined with the taste of the local people, it may be more attractive."

Ah Jin looked over with piercing eyes: "Brother Qi Yan, do you have an idea to make Boss Lan's business more prosperous?"

Qi Yan was a little terrified by his gaze, Si Dongmo reached out and knocked on Ah Jin: "Don't stare at him so directly, thinking you are going to eat him."

Ah Jin smiled embarrassedly: "No, that's not what I meant, I'm just interested in what this Brother Qi thinks."

Qi Yan could see that Ah Jin had a good impression of Boss Lan, a big beauty, probably because he loved the house and wanted to increase the number of customers for the boss's restaurant.He said: "My idea is that it would be great if Si Dongmo's craftsmanship is combined with the characteristics of Fourteen restaurants. On the premise of maintaining the existing herbal health-preserving characteristics, try to make the taste of the dishes more local People’s tastes are closer, and some meat dishes are properly prepared, which may attract more people from the small town and nearby passers-by.”

After a pause, he continued: "However, this matter must be quite difficult. Sometimes you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw. It can maintain its characteristics or suit the taste of the local people. Choose one of these two and use it to your advantage. To the maximum, not to mention the booming business, at least there will be a steady stream of customers."

He said some personal opinions. Unexpectedly, the other three people present stared at him intently, as if they had heard something extraordinary.

"Uh, this is my idea, no, it's not necessarily right..."

Suddenly, a pair of hands rested on his shoulders.

Qi Yan turned around and saw Boss Lan standing behind her at some point, with a handsome face close at hand, even Qi Yan, who had watched too many celebrity faces on TV, couldn't help but hold his breath.

"Old...boss!" He was a little flustered, did the boss hear all the words he said just now?

Boss Lan patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him: "You are right. I am not a local. I bought a store here three years ago and opened this restaurant. I have been studying cooking for several years. I hope to integrate the medicinal herb knowledge I have always loved into the food, but I neglect the research on the tastes of the local people, and the business of this restaurant has always been mediocre and not very prosperous."

His eyes turned to Si Dongmo: "I heard from Ah Jin earlier that brother Si is a good cooker, and it suits the local people's taste very well."

Si Dongmo said modestly, "I'm overwhelmed."

Boss Lan's eyes were crooked with a smile, he moved a chair, put it beside the table, and sat down with them: "Actually speaking, I've been running this restaurant for so long, and it's time for me to seek some changes. Although I am committed to integrating the knowledge of medicinal herbs and health preservation into the dishes, there has been little success. If I can expand and improve the dishes, so that the restaurant can attract more customers, my knowledge of health diet can be considered to be developed. "

Speaking of this, he asked Qi Yan: "Excuse me, little brother, can you cook?"

Qi Yan stared at him blankly.Boss Lan had such a nice smile that he was so dumbfounded that he almost forgot what he was going to say.

"Ah... that's right," Qi Yan replied nervously, "I can only make some very simple snacks, or cook porridge..." In his previous life, he was just a student who had just graduated from high school, and at best he could only give himself Making a simple breakfast is far from having any cooking skills.

Hearing this, Boss Lan waved his fan and said with a gentle smile, "Then... have you ever considered learning how to cook?"
