MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 8 Qujiang sells food

It was summer, and the weather was getting hotter, and Shen Shaoguang began to tinker with various drinks.

In the current dynasty, "drink" mainly played the medicinal and health value of treating diseases. It was not until the Song Dynasty that it developed into a daily drink to quench thirst and thirst . Popular beverages at the time were buttermilk, cane pulp and, of course, the increasingly accepted tea.

Of course, the first choice is sour plum soup, followed by jasmine tea and mung bean soup. Mint honey drink is also very good.

Among them, Shen Shaoguang loves sour plum soup.

Boil the ebony, hawthorn, dried tangerine peel, licorice, etc. bought in the drugstore, and then add candied sweet-scented osmanthus. In a previous life, Shen Shaoguang once read a book written by a certain master that said that you should use white sugar to stain sweet-scented osmanthus, not honey. Try it, and sure enough, the taste is more refreshing, everyone is everyone after all. ①

In such a hot weather, drinking the thick, sweet and sour plum soup with cool air, Master Yuanjue, the host, was full of praise, "In the past, there was a Zen master who made five-color drinks, among which Fufang leaves It is green drink, 楥犊 root is red drink, buttermilk is white drink, black plum syrup is Xuanyin, and Jianggui is yellow drink. Buttermilk is the most well-known, and there are imitations of others. I have also drank black plum syrup from several companies , it's not as good as you." ②

Shen Shaoguang smiled, of course, my recipe has been improved for thousands of years.

Shen Shaoguang boiled jasmine tea, mung bean soup, mint honey drink, etc. Please host the teacher too to taste and express his thoughts - on the Dragon Boat Festival, go to the Qujiang River to sell.

Yuanjue Shitai is a monk, but she has a scholar's attitude of "talking nothing". She once didn't understand Shen Shaoguang, a high-class lady who only set up a small stall to make money, but now she Some people got used to it and helped her come up with ideas, "Mung bean drink is too common, not fresh enough, and there are too many samples, but it doesn't show that this black plum soup is good, in my opinion, just drink black plum, and add - jasmine tea. ."

Shen Shaoguang felt that the jasmine tea she smoked was not very good, which was naturally compared with the jasmine fragrant she drank in her previous life. If it is said that the black plum drink can still make six or seven points of the shadow of the sour plum soup of later generations, this jasmine fragrant piece has the meaning of one and a half points at most. Light and sweet with a little bitterness, it fits the feelings of literati and elegant scholars.

Shen Shaoguang felt that Master Yuanjue was a senior eater, and his suggestion should be advisable, so he decided to cook several large jars of sour plum soup, and then buy some ice and put it on, which is considered an ice drink; Start the tea stove, and now boil water to make jasmine tea, which is considered a hot drink.

Yuanjue high fives, she thinks she is very thoughtful, she is very particular about people, she also loves hot tea in summer, and when this jasmine tea is just fried, there are jasmine flowers floating on the tea powder, which is really beautiful— Teacher Tai, who was arrogant at first, will now do customer analysis and product positioning.

What to sell and drink is the second, the key is to eat. Of course, the first choice for Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, red dates, candied dates, red bean, mung bean, these conventional sweet rice dumplings are naturally not to mention; chicken rice dumplings, mountain mushroom lean meat rice dumplings, salted egg yolk rice dumplings are standard, and it seems that Datang should also be The people opened their eyes and feasted.

When Shen Shaoguang first arrived in Yeting, it was the Dragon Boat Festival soon. She divided two rice dumplings that were not steamed and had two red dates in them. She thought it was the treatment of female slaves - better than Wow, okay, what bike do you want? Later, the situation improved, and I still helped the royal kitchen for a while. Only then did I know that the emperor ate, only three or two kinds of stuffing, only the heat was more sufficient. The point is, they like to pour sugarcane syrup on top of them...the throat gets tired just thinking about it.

In addition, because Aiwowo was very popular in the nunnery, Shen Shaoguang decided to make stuffing in advance and make some Aiwowo on the spot.

In addition to preparing materials, hiring a car, and making, thanks to the large stove in the nunnery, Shen Shaoguang borrowed the rice dumplings, and the nun and the handyman in charge of the cook also helped, busy talking It was not until the night before the Dragon Boat Festival that he was ready. As soon as the gate opened the next day, Shen Shaoguang sat in the rented donkey cart, pulled all kinds of food and utensils, and rushed to Qujiang.

Chongxianfang is in the northwest of the city, and Qujiang is in the southeast of the city, it is not too close, but when Shen Shaoguang arrives, it is still early, let her find a good place to set up a stall . This place is not far from the river, facing the main road, not far from there is a pavilion corridor for people to rest, next to a few big trees with pavilions and pavilions, and even two rocks under the trees, you can sit and rest.

Shen Shaoguang secretly sighed his good luck, then quickly set up the table and set up the stall. When the pot of hot zongzi was steaming, the pot of boiling water began to squeak, and there were twenty or thirty Aiwowo in his hand, the number of tourists on the Qujiang River increased, and when the sun was shining. Now, the nobles of BMW Xiangche have arrived.

With two eyes, the more people who see it, the more people buy it.

Zongzi sells well, I heard that there are meat fillings, and there are quite a lot of people in the Tang Dynasty who are willing to try them, but they are still not as good as the Aiwowo and the cold and sour ones. Sour plum soup, while the jasmine tea of ​​literati and elegant scholars is "high and low", of course, it may also be out of season for selling hot tea in summer, and few people are interested.

Shen Shaoguang pinched Aiwowo while worrying about the ice that he had spent a lot of money on this morning at the ice store, although it was placed in a small box and wrapped with a small cotton mattress But it's still getting more and more condensed, so I'm afraid there will be no ice for the two buckets of sour plum soup in the back, and I'm listening to passers-by chatting by the way.

Two gentlemen were chatting and watching the dragon boat race by the riverside, and they felt regretful that "I didn't have the chance to see the beauty of the sky". Shen Shaoguang was also very regretful - the emperor watched the boat race In the pavilion of the Royal Qujiang Bieyuan, there is no reason to walk along the street. It would be great if you moved the few times you met the emperor in the palace to this place, so that you can advertise with the head of the country and play something like " "Kangxi Fish Head", "Ye Qianlong's Roast Chicken", "Lafayette Minced Pork Biscuits", "Saint Sour Plum Soup" and "Royal Ai Wo Wo" came out.

, my whole body is happy... The Hanlin bachelor's poem cloud-" Shen Shaoguang choked, although he studied in Ye Ting for two years, and also learned to write poetry, after all, it is not this material, and it smells like oil.

Although I didn't "meet" the emperor by chance, but the rich and noble people do have some pictures of "wildness", ten money a bowl of sour plum soup, Shen Shaoguang filled a kettle, and gave a single After adding a small piece of ice, the other party actually gave two taels of small silver ingots.

The sour plum soup is so expensive! The more wealthy customers, the better.

"What kind of drink are you?" An officer with leather boots and bright armor came over and asked.

"It's ebony drink, with hawthorn, licorice, and ice. It's the best way to relieve the heat."

The officer glanced at Shen Shaoguang and nodded, "Alright."

Shen Shaoguang filled a bowl and handed it to him, the officer drank it, and then decided to round up the rest!

The officer asked a few soldiers to move it. Shen Shaoguang generously used the rest of the ice and sold the jar to them.

Before noon, the dragon boat race has not yet started, and the same drink has been sold out. After doing the math, these sour plum soup actually made a good five or six thousand dollars, almost catching up with the profit of selling pancakes for two months.

Shen Shaoguang continued to do Ai Wowo in a good mood, but in a blink of an eye he saw a group of noble girls in the pavilion over there, one of them was quite familiar - Mrs. Pang Er.
