It was still the yard when I got married. Recently, Chen Yueying appeared here more and more times. After removing the mask of her goddess, He Jiaan found that Chen Yueying was not so difficult to get along with. The 23 shops of Chen Ji have been closed for the time being. , Those shopkeepers and fellows were sent home to wait for the notice, and they only waited for the auction meeting to arrive in a few days.
But at this time, Chen Yueying was assigned a new task by He Jiaan.
After writing another membership card, Chen Yueying straightened up slowly, rubbed her wrists, and complained: "Jia'an, I have copied more than 200 of them, it should be enough."
He Jiaan, who didn't know what he was writing on the side, also stopped writing, hesitated, and said: "It's still early anyway, how about writing a hundred more?"
"Still writing?" Chen Yueying couldn't help but sighed softly. I don't know how the business of this barbecue shop is doing. Having so many membership cards means that so many people come here to eat barbecue. Okay, but she didn't have much hope for He Jiaan's success.
"Just write the last one hundred sheets. I guess it's about the same. If there are more, the store won't be able to fit them." There was a rush of footsteps, and then Xiu'er's figure appeared at the door, walked over quickly, greeted the eldest lady, and asked anxiously: "My lord, where is the ice you prepared? The mutton has all been delivered."
"ice?"
Putting down the pen in his hand, He Jiaan blinked his eyes in doubt, and asked, "What ice?"
Seeing He Jiaan's silly look, Xiu'er was stunned, and quickly said: "It's the ice used to preserve the mutton, otherwise the meat will be spoiled by tomorrow?"
I'm dizzy, I actually forgot such a stubble.
In fact, He Jiaan should have remembered all these things, but there were too many things these days, so he just forgot about it, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.
"No way, uncle, you didn't prepare ice cubes?" Xiu'er was also stunned. After getting used to He Jiaan's omnipotence, she suddenly realized that He Jiaan was sometimes careless.
Although ice is just a trivial matter, it is an essential thing. Without ice, the mutton will definitely go bad tomorrow. Otherwise, when the butchers heard that there is so much meat here, they were stunned by coincidence. .
At this time, Chen Yueying, who originally copied the membership card, also put down the brush in her hand and came over. She heard a lot of what she said just now. When she heard that there was no frozen meat in the barbecue shop, she frowned slightly and said: "In the past In winter, the Chen family has stored a lot of ice, but this year's business is not good, so there is a lot less ice in the store, but if the family needs to use it, it can still last for ten days and half a month."
Although there is not much ice in ten days and a half months, it can also relieve the urgent need. The anxiety on Xiu'er's face finally eased. She was about to agree to He Jia'an, but at this time He Jia'an suddenly spoke, and when he opened his mouth, he immediately let go. Xiu'er was stunned.
"The Chen family's ice isn't enough for me, so let's forget it, let's just have a little ice, so it won't stump me."
He Jiaan's words were naturally taken by Chen Yueying as his bragging rights. You must know that the ice these years was taken from the river in winter and placed in the cellar and covered with thick quilts. It's already melted away, since He Jia'an has helped him so much, it's only right to get some ice out by himself.
"I said no, I really have a solution." He Jiaan shook his head with a smile, but asked, "Have you ever had saltpeter at home?"
saltpeter?Asking here really stumped Chen Yueying, she blinked her eyes and said a little embarrassedly: "I really don't know, why don't you call Steward Chen, and you'll find out when you ask."
Not long after, Chen Lei walked over behind Xiu'er, and when he got close, he bowed to the two of them. When he heard Chen Yueying's question, he blinked his eyes in confusion, thought for a while and said, "There should be more people in the warehouse." There are also some old goods that have not been used for a long time, if my uncle wants them, I will move them out."
He Jiaan nodded, and then said: "Then bring all the saltpeter over here, and also, find some wooden basins for me, I'll be useful."
Saltpeter and wooden basin, what a wonderful combination, but now is not the time for my son-in-law to catch him outside. I didn't see that the eldest lady was obedient to him. If I still want to continue in the Chen family If you stay, you will naturally know what to do.
After a little while, Chen Lei finally brought over the saltpeter from the warehouse, packed three or four bags in sacks, and put them in the yard together with a dozen wooden pots.
"Grandpa, look, is this okay?"
He Jiaan finally finished writing the regulations and handed them to Xiu'er, asking her to find someone to copy a few copies and hang them on the wall of the barbecue restaurant. She came to the sacks by herself, looked at the saltpeter inside and nodded. , Said: "Okay, you go down first."
Chen Lei turned and left, only Chen Yueying and Xiu'er were left, staring at He Jiaan with puzzled faces, wondering how the saltpeter could turn into ice cubes.
"Xiu'er, go get a basin of water." He Jiaan picked out a smaller basin and handed it to Xiu'er.
Then He Jiaan poured some saltpeter into a slightly larger basin, and while waiting for Xiu'er to come back, he did not forget to explain to Chen Yueying: "This actually involves a chemical formula, and dry saltpeter can be absorbed. heat, and once the saltpeter dissolves with water, it will reach a very high temperature in an instant, such as boiling water or heating rice, which is all possible.”
He Jiaan's words made Chen Yueying a little confused, she blinked her eyes, and finally asked a question that she wanted to ask a long time ago: "Jia'an, where did you learn these methods?"
"Uh, did you forget the Ronaldo who left, he taught me all."
"It's a long way to say this." After hesitating for a while, He Jiaan said with a look of nostalgia: "When I was young, I gave an old monk a steamed bun. In order to repay me, he taught me this foreign language."
Chapter 54 The Store Opens
This is the chemical reaction that He Jiaan said. In Chen Yueying's view, it is more like a trick performed by a street performer. Put a basin filled with water into the lime, and after a while, it starts to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye. What surprised me even more was that after the ice was frozen, He Jiaan poured some water into the lime noodles, and then the ice turned into water again.
"It's really amazing, my lord, you are really a god." The little girl Xiu'er didn't hear what He Jiaan just said to Chen Yueying, after seeing the process of water turning into ice, and then from ice into water , the eyes immediately opened wide, with a look of disbelief.
"What is this? There are still many things you don't know." He Jiaan smiled triumphantly, and filled the rest of the basins with water. After a while, several large basins of ice cubes were made by him.
The little girl led a few servants, and took the ice away contentedly. Chen Yueying, who had already stopped, looked at the membership card that was still a bit blank, and couldn't help hesitating. Thinking of He Jiaan's miracle just now, she immediately made up her mind. Picking up the brush again, he continued to fill in.
……
Time flies, and after Chen's family posted a notice to auction their shop, He Jiaan's long-prepared Deyun BBQ finally opened.
No matter what time it is, the opening always requires a group of people to get together to make it festive and lively. The opening time is specially calculated by Mr. Feng Shui. When the auspicious time comes, the firecrackers that have already been placed in front of the store will be crackling rang.
After so many days of warm-up, there are still quite a lot of people gathered in front of the barbecue restaurant. Most of them gather together in twos and threes, chatting with each other about the meat skewers they ate a few days ago, and wait until the sound of firecrackers stops. Next, someone can't wait to squeeze in.
At this time, the door of the barbecue restaurant opened without wind, and then two beautifully dressed beauties appeared on both sides of the door with faint smiles on their faces. When the first customer came over, they gave a slight smile Nodding, they said in unison: "Welcome."
Wow, this is simply the enjoyment of an emperor.
Those who walked in front were frightened by the scene, and did not dare to step into the store for a long time, but those behind couldn't see what happened in front of them, and they were still walking in, and saw that the people in front had stopped moving. Still can't stop urging.
Seeing such two beautiful beauties standing here, the one standing in front of the door was heartbroken. When he was hesitating which leg to take first, a strong force came from behind, and he was directly thrown away. pushed in.
"Hi sir, I am the store manager in the lobby of our store. You are the first customer of this store, so you will enjoy a free order today. Please come here. Here is our recipe. You can order whatever you want. But there is one thing you have to remember, you must eat everything you ordered, otherwise you will be fined three times."
Just woke up from the beauty's greetings, and then suddenly dropped such a big pie, this old man was not polite, he found an empty seat and sat down first, then picked up the recipe that had been written on the table, and did not hesitate. He stood up politely.
"This one……"
"I want this too."
"And this, come here."
Anyway, it's free of charge. Naturally, the more you eat, the better. This man is not polite, and he ordered a bunch of vegetables and meat skewers as soon as he came up.
"Sir, I'm sorry, can you eat these by yourself?" The lobby manager was also selected by He Jiaan from the six waiters. After eating so many dishes, I couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Of course I can eat it." Xu Shi saw that the shopkeeper was considered a beauty, so he didn't have the nerve to say something so ugly, the old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense like that, bring these food up quickly, Sir, I am hungry."
Well, since he can eat it, he can bring it up. Anyway, if he can't eat it, he will be fined. As for whether he can eat it or not, it's not up to him to decide.
The crowd began to gradually pour into the store. When they saw the two beauties in front of the door for the first time, their eyes couldn't help being attracted. The style of clothes on the beauties was something I had never seen before. It didn't show at all, but looking at the silhouette, the figure, and the looming thighs, it was even more alluring.
And not only the two people at the door, but also such beauties in the store, the waiter in the store is called Xiao Er, but the name has been changed here, and it is called the waiter.
Not only has the waiter been replaced, but even the tables and chairs in the store are very different from others. The walls around the barbecue restaurant are covered with that kind of primitive and irregular wood, which looks like a Strong sense of originality.
The tables and chairs have changed even more. Most of the other stores use the Eight Immortals table, which is the kind of table with the same four sides, one side can sit two people, and there are simple long chairs around it. It feels comfortable to sit on. No.
But that style has changed here. The Eight Immortals table has been replaced by a long and thick strip of wood. It seems that the bark of the tree has not been scraped off, but it is placed here after a simple coat of paint.
There are four chairs placed at both ends of the table. Not only is the sitting area larger, but the distance between two people is also much larger, which makes people feel different when they sit down.
The hall is one way, but those boxes are another way.
