Kaifeng Bistro

Chapter 56

Before Yi Yi could open his mouth to refute again, he put the cane behind his back, raised his head and said: "My surname is Wu, my name is Fu Sheng, and my character is Guang Zhong. I am from Mingzhou on Liangzhe Road. , studying everywhere, isn’t it going to take a test this year? I, although I have this disability since I was a child, I can’t be an official, but I like scholars who know the world, make friends, and gain knowledge..." After finishing, he glanced at Glancing at Yiyi, he shook his head and said, "'Beasts have human nature, and their shapes are separated by others. Humans have a beast's heart, and few people can truly know it. The ancients resembled beasts, and they all had great virtues. Today's humans look like humans. The heart of a beast is predictable...'"

"You!" Tan Zhifeng knew that Yi Yi had never been taken advantage of by others verbally, but this time he was ridiculed by Wu Fusheng, and he would definitely not let it go, so he quickly smoothed things over and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for the frankness. My surname Tan, his name is Zhifeng, and the one behind him is my elder brother named Xu Gan. These three are my friends and they help me run this small shop. We just came back from outside and saw the officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion patrolling around. Something happened, that's why they are more cautious, and they definitely didn't intend to embarrass you."

Seeing that Tan Zhifeng intended to protect this guy named Wu Fusheng, Yi Yi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked back.Tan Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "By the way, you must be hungry, my son. Let me prepare some food for you right now? However, I am not very familiar with your Jianghuai diet. You can tell me what you like. Whatever I eat, I try to do as much as I can.”

"Hehe... You are quite modest, little shopkeeper..." The young man named Wu Fusheng took two steps forward with his stick, and walked to the back kitchen, facing unfriendly people there. He didn't care about his eyes, sniffed and sniffed: "Tsk tsk, mutton tail soup, too greasy, too greasy, we Jiangnan people don't like to eat this. Let me tell you how to do it, little shopkeeper, if you can make it , then I..."

"Hmph! Is there anything Zhifeng can't do? Tell me first, what if he can do it?" Mr. Zhuo Zhuo got angry, and stared at Wu Fusheng coldly.

"Oh, don't be angry, I'll just make a promise with my body, hehe, joking, joking, or I'll be a servant for you in your shop? Anyway, I have no place to go, I don't want you As for the wages, as long as you take care of the food, is this a good deal?"

"What?" Everyone looked at him in surprise, and Shang Shang looked at him puzzled, and said, "You? What will you do?"

"Why don't you hear what I want to eat first?" Wu Fusheng squinted at them.One person looked over, and his gaze stayed on Xu Gan.And Xu Gan didn't speak from the beginning to the end, but just stared at this young man named Wu Fusheng without blinking.

Tan Zhifeng nervously watched the eyes of the two people meet, as if two sharp swords were about to be closed in the air. Although it was only a momentary confrontation, it made people feel chills. sounded.

Tan Zhifeng broke the silence with a light cough, and he said to Wu Fusheng: "Mr. Wu, what do you want to eat, tell me quickly."

"Okay, okay." Wu Fusheng smiled very kindly at Tan Zhifeng: "Shopkeeper Tan, our cooks know how to make this." He limped forward two steps, raised his eyebrows Asked: "Plum blossom soup cake, have you heard of it?"

"Hehe...plum blossoms? Soup cakes?" Zhuo Zhuo looked at the roof with his hips crossed, "You can really think, why don't you drink fine nectar and jade dew..."

Wu Fusheng looked like he didn't hear anything, shook his head and continued: "You, you have to pick a bunch of those white plums that have just bloomed with snow water..."

"Then..." He glanced at Tan Zhifeng again, seeing that the other party was not particularly surprised, but listened carefully, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Take some more sandalwood, fry it into juice, and cut the plum blossoms into thin slices. At the end, mix it with the sandalwood and use it to knead the dough. This dough should be kneaded well. It can’t be scattered in water, and it can’t be hard. It must be soft and slippery, with three-point chew Head. Well, that's half the battle."

"Hey!" Zhuo Zhuo imitated his tone, and said in a tone: "Guest officer, have you ever heard a word called pretending to be a lightning strike?"

"Zhao Zhuo, listen to him." Tan Zhifeng stopped Zhuo Zhuo, and the young man leaned over and smiled at Tan Zhifeng again, and continued: "Since it's plum blossom soup cake, it's not enough to just use plum kneading noodles. If you can come out with me , I’ll make a mold for you. When the time comes, put the noodles into a plum blossom shape for a while, cook them, and use the chicken soup stewed from old hens that have laid eggs for more than two years... Tsk tsk tsk, the chicken soup is fresh There is the fragrance of plum blossoms, the deliciousness of chicken soup in the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the faint fragrance of sandalwood...You guys, you can enjoy the food with me when the time comes. "

"Okay, I can make this plum blossom soup cake for you. There is sandalwood in the store, but there is no plum blossom..." After hearing Wu Fusheng's description, Tan Zhifeng felt that this person became more interesting.At first, he was only a little curious, but later I saw that his speech and demeanor were indeed a bit of a knight-errant, and now it sounds like he is still a person who has studied diet.

Tan Zhifeng unknowingly developed a good impression of this unexpected guest. He even thought that maybe he should really keep Wu Fusheng, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Yan's slightly narrowed eyes. , seems to be somewhat defensive.

He walked over and touched Xu Gan lightly: "You...what's the matter with you?"

Xu Gan narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and smiled slightly: "It's nothing. Let's listen to what he has to say."

"What's so difficult about this?!" Wu Fusheng heard Tan Zhifeng say that there were no plum blossoms, but he waved his stick triumphantly: "In the big yard at the entrance of the alley, there are several white plums blooming just right!"

He walked slowly to the table, drank the tea that Tan Zhifeng had poured, and said, "Ah, I feel much more comfortable after drinking some hot tea. Otherwise, I'll fetch some white plum blossoms for you, the shopkeeper. How about we make this plum blossom soup cake?"

"You?" Zhuozhuo got into trouble again: "You...you can't walk easily, how can you pick plum blossoms? Besides, let me tell you, the big courtyard you mentioned is where Dafu Chen lives. He, take care of it. The renter on this street is very bad, he almost kicked us out a while ago! If you run into his yard, be careful not to be beaten up by his servants and thrown out."

"You little lady, don't you know that people can't be judged by their appearance?" Wu Fusheng smiled and leaned on his crutches: "You don't need to worry about anything else... Shopkeeper, just make chicken soup."

Zhuo Zhuo dubiously opened the curtain and let him go out, then turned around and ran to Tan Zhifeng, looked at him, then at Xu Gan, and asked, "I said, you...how are you going to deal with this person?"

"I...I just wanted to discuss with you." Tan Zhifeng looked at Xu Gan hesitantly: "It's strange that he came, I still think... I think he should be kept." Tan Zhifeng paused, seeing that no one was there After opening his mouth, he continued: "I think he has a kind of, uh, kind of righteousness in him. He should, at least definitely not with Nori Changrong, and if he is a bad person, we should keep him. See Let's see what he's up to, isn't it?"

"You will find a reason!" Yi Yi looked at Tan Zhifeng coldly: "Who is watching him? Just you?! Tan Zhifeng, if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you." After that, he He flicked his sleeves: "I'm not lucky enough to eat plum blossom soup cakes, Tan Zhifeng, you should think about it for yourself!" He gave Tan Zhifeng a final look, and went upstairs step by step.

"I knew it." To Tan Zhifeng's surprise, Zhuo Zhuo just rolled his eyes: "There is a lot of sympathy, Zhifeng, you said that it's fine if you take in someone who looks good, this guy looks weird, What are you trying to do with him?"

"Alas..." Tan Zhifeng sighed, and his eyes fell on Xu Gan.Xu Gan came out, and the two sat down at the table facing each other. Tan Zhifeng looked at Xu Gan anxiously, and said, "How about keeping him... If he is a good person, we are not afraid to have an extra mouth to eat; if he It's the bad guys... not... isn't there you?"

Xu Gan looked at Tan Zhifeng across the table, a warm light emerged from his deep and dark eyes.Their eyes met each other, and although their eyes were twinkling, Tan Zhifeng instantly had a feeling of being connected with Xu Gan.His heart was surging, and he unconsciously showed a faint smile.Xu Gan's breath was choked by his smile, he stood up and leaned over, bowed his head and said, "Brother, listen to you."

"Come on, come on!" As soon as Xu Gan finished speaking, the curtain was lifted, and Wu Fusheng walked in while grinning: "Look, this is the plum blossom with snow water, but unfortunately his plum blossom is a little bit worse." , but, the plum blossoms of plum blossom soup cakes don’t need to be so particular, if I order plum blossom porridge today, it won’t work, plum blossom porridge must be made with green calyx plums!”

"Plum blossom porridge?" The rest of Zhuozhuo and Changshang were surprised to see him come back so soon, Zhuozhuo heard the words plum blossom porridge, and repeated it in bewilderment: "Then what should I do?"

"Want to know? It depends on whether you have the ability to keep me!" Wu Fusheng smiled, and glanced at Tan Zhifeng, "I said earlier, if you keep me, you can't say enough in this tavern benefits."

"Then I'll do it now." Tan Zhifeng found an empty jar, and put the big bunch of plum blossoms that the man was wearing in his inner jacket into it.Then he ordered Zhuo Zhuo: "You take care of it outside."

"You have to pay for the meal, do you have the money to pay the bill?" Yi Yi walked down again at some point, looked at Wu Fusheng and asked, "Even if you say that Zhifeng's actions are not to your liking, you still have to pay the bill." Pay the bill and go."

"Hehe, sir, I don't have anything else, this copper coin..." The other party patted his waist, and there was a sudden crashing sound.Seeing that Yi Yi was still staring at him, he directly rolled up the half-length lower skirt, revealing four or five strings of copper coins hanging around his waist, and each string was fastened neatly.
