A visit to Fangchun

Because the matter was really out of the question, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to make a big fuss, so she passed away quietly.Even if he hates Jia Tanchun so much, he will not use any inappropriate means to her at this juncture.

Seeing that she had turned into a quail instantly because of this incident, Mother Jia snorted and let her go for the time being.Looking back, she didn't do much to Aunt Xue's face, even when Xue Baochai came, she dismissed her with the words "I'm uncomfortable, I'm dozing on my side".Xue Baochai, who had run into trouble a few times, understood, and Anshun greeted Mrs. Wang every day, and then joked with Li Wanying Tanxi, and easily stopped going to Jiamu.

Seeing the calm and calm, Jia Tanchun believed more and more in what Mother Zhao and Waiting Books had told him, that these aristocratic families would make a fuss over trivial matters, but when they really encountered major issues, they would solve them quietly and quietly. Everyone knows how to be quiet.

After sighing for a long time that this skill is really enough for him to learn for a lifetime, Jia Tanchun happily put this matter behind him and went to worry about his tea shop.

On this day, Zhao Shuan's family happened to come in, begging for advice with a sad face: "The shop is not big, and the expenses are not much, but there is not much income. Now I am sitting and eating, and the few silvers given by the girl have been spent. There is nothing left. This But what's the matter?"

Jia Tanchun asked carefully about the situation of the guests, and then asked: "Did someone ask me about the jasmine tea I brought?" It turned out that the jasmine tea that Tanchun thought about during the Chinese New Year in the first year was for the tea shop.

Zhao Shuan's family nodded: "There are two or three female guests asking. Looking at the clothes, they don't seem to be servants from any mansion, so our head didn't question them carefully."

Jia Tanchun was angry and funny, and hurriedly said: "It's a good thing he didn't ask. Sister-in-law, you go back and tell Brother Nurse seriously that inquiring about news has never been done quietly. How can anyone look at other people's clothes?" Then go to ask about the eight generations of his ancestors? You only let him pay attention to such people. If you meet on the street, or see you next time, you must be able to open your mouth and call out the name of the original newspaper. That will show that you treat People are heavy. Do you understand?"

When Zhao Shuan's family heard about it, he giggled in embarrassment, took out a small account book from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Jia Tanchun, blushing and said: "I can't read, this is all our money. I wrote it down in one stroke. Let me pass it on to the girl. Is this possible?"

Jia Tanchun thought it was an account, so he planned to look through it casually. When he opened it, he found that although Zhao Shuan had a bad handwriting and a bunch of bad characters, he had written down all the female customers who asked about jasmine tea: " Yan Liuniang, with a long face and almond eyes, asked about the availability of scented tea and the price. The accompanying mother and aunt. The clothes were neat and tidy, and the hair on the sideburns was not messed up... Miss Zhao, with a round face, black and shiny, asked about the method of making scented tea, accompanied by the aunt , cousin. Her manner is generous, her voice is sweet and crisp..."

Jia Tanchun was both surprised and delighted, and exclaimed: "Brother Nu is really a careful talent! This account book is very good, and we will handle it like this in the future!"

Turning back while talking, I saw another line of words: "There is a small official who invites people to drink tea and whispers for half an hour, and orders not to come close. The small official is about forty, with mouse eyes and three beards. The big guest hat bows his head, The lower jaw is clean, but the rest is unclear. Leave one after another. The petty official enters the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and the guests go to the direction of Nancheng."

Jia Tanchun's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there only one copy of this booklet, or is there another copy at my brother's place?"

Zhao Shuan's family hurriedly said: "There is another copy. That copy is on the counter in the store. Our head of the house memorized it. It's very messy. He said that even a god may not understand it. This copy is copied for the girl to see. .”

Only then did Jia Tanchun feel relieved, and asked with a serious expression: "My sister-in-law went back and told my brother that he did a good job. But you must be more careful. If anyone sees him remembering this, I'm afraid it will happen in a blink of an eye." A disaster of murder. Information is not as valuable as a person. Even if you don’t inquire about the news, nothing will happen to the nurse—otherwise, how will I explain to the nurse?”

Zhao Shuan's family laughed so hard that they almost lost their eyes, and nodded in agreement.

After Jia Tanchun read them one by one, he handed over the account book to her to take out.Fang said: "If it's hard to keep going, I will serve two dishes, and you let him sell rice for an hour at noon. Remember it can't be long. It can only be sold for an hour at noon." He stood up, He ordered Zhao Shuan's family to go to the big kitchen with him, and when there was no one else, he personally instructed her to make Mapo Tofu and Maoxuewang.After tasting the taste, there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately packed rice, ordered Zhao Shuan's family, Dai Shu, and Cuimo Xiaochan to eat everything in the kitchen, then washed the pots and pans, and went back to the yard.

Because the Jia family's ancestral home is Jinling, Mrs. Wang and other in-laws are either from the capital or Jinling, and no one in the family is from Sichuan and Shu.Although there are occasional spicy dishes, not many people may be able to eat them.So these two dishes made several members of Zhao Shuan's family startled.

Jia Tanchun naturally knew the power of classic Sichuan cuisine, so he couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Sister-in-law, remember, these two dishes are Sichuan cuisine, and the method I taught you is from the book. I told you Those few steps are the trick, even the cooks of the best Sichuan restaurants in the capital may not know it. Therefore, these two recipes must not be told to others. Otherwise, the tea shop will not be able to earn money. "

Zhao Shuan's family felt like waking up from a dream, and tears were about to flow from happiness. He couldn't agree more, and then sighed: "I never knew that there are such benefits in reading a lot. When we have children, we must let him learn to read and write." Then he hurried away happily.

Half a month later, when Zhao Shuan's family came to deliver the brochures again, they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear: "Our business is the best at noon on this street now. There have been queues in the past two days."

Jia Tanchun looked down at the account book and smiled, "In a few days, there will be a lot of noise. I'm afraid there will be a long line in front of the door. Let me teach you a way. Make two big pots of vegetables every day, and then make a big one." A pot of plain rice, with a stack of sea bowls. But someone came to buy it, and those who couldn’t sit in the room took the sea bowl, half a bowl of rice, a spoonful of tofu, a spoonful of Maoxuewang, and some spicy soup. Give a pair of chopsticks, Just send the bowl back when you’re done eating. If you bought something to eat at home, you can also pack it in a big bowl, and when you’re done pour it into something he brought, and you’ll have it.”

Zhao Shuan's family hesitated: "What if someone builds a house and then imitates it?"

Jia Tanchun laughed: "The first thing is that money in this world is endless, we don't spend our lives relying on these two dishes; the second thing is that you are a fool to be a cook in the world? Come to the store After eating it a few times, he can figure it out [-]% to [-]% if he wants to think about it. As for my sister-in-law’s worry, I’ve said it before, as long as you don’t let people see those few steps, this dish will be as it is. It will take a year or two to imitate it!"
