Chapter 194

"Cough, Li Rou, look what's happening outside?"

While looking for cold water, she hoarsely asked Li Rou to see the situation.

Li Rou lifted the curtain a little and looked at it: "there are people outside who are angry and angry. They yelled at our old diners and said they were too noisy."

"Do you look familiar?"

"No, it seems to be new. He's so ugly. He has pockmarks all over his face and a lot of oil, eh... "Li Rou said disgustingly. He suddenly noticed that a Yao grabbed some medicine materials and put them in the cover bowl. The red dates broke into two and half. He threw the quarter of the red dates into the cover bowl, filled it with hot water in a copper pot, quickly poured out most of the hot water, filled it with cold water, covered the cover and handed it to Li rou“ Let Li Gang come and take it. Let him take a message... "

"Our Cook said it was for you to drink. Don't get angry in hot weather. It's easy to hurt yourself. Drink a cup of tea to calm down."

Li Gang offered a covered bowl of tea. The man glanced triumphantly at several old diners: "see, Miss Yao invited me to drink. Oh, it's still good tea. "

He deliberately opened the bowl and shook it in front of the diners. "Miss Yao still loves me."

Li Gang stopped talking.

Several old diners trembled at the corners of their mouths and wanted to turn them up, but they had to take into account the mood of this "Scholar" who did not divide grains and limbs and did not work hard. They couldn't laugh for the time being.

Old man, the corners of your mouth are almost open to your ears. Put it away. If you want to laugh, at least wait until he finishes drinking.

They reminded each other with their eyes and couldn't help laughing. They simply stood up and turned their backs to the "Scholar".

The "Scholar" who knew nothing about it took a sip and immediately sprayed it out. The cover bowl hit the table heavily and made a clanging sound: "bah, bah, bah, what's so bitter! Did you take it wrong! "

"Our Cook said that it's hot today. She specially made you lotus seed heart dandelion tea with a small amount of Coptis powder to clear away heat, detoxify and remove heart fire. I'm afraid you'll find it difficult to eat. She also added red dates in it, which is slightly sweet." Li Gang said, "she said that after drinking her tea, if guests dare to harass diners at will, our shop will not entertain them."

"Good!"

The old diners applauded, "young man, this lotus seed heart dandelion tea is a good thing. It can clear the heart and relieve the summer heat. You may feel better after a cup of it."

"Shut up!" Being poked into his unspeakable weakness, the "Scholar" became angry and swayed in his heart. The problem of his face is what he cares about most. What if it works?

Just when he was deadlocked, Li Gang brought a tray from the kitchen and went a long way to bypass the scholar: "here's your drink."

He shouted to attract the eyes of old diners. They looked forward to rubbing their hands, "let me see."

Inside the tray, there are white porcelain bowls for cockfighting, blue and white bowls, chrysanthemum pattern bowls like milli lanterns and hats, and cover bowls similar to those on the reader's hand.

Li Gang reported the dish name and sent the blue and white bowl to the corresponding person: "the ice is sugar mung beans. Please take your time and don't eat too fast. "

The edge of the bowl is cool and seems to have been put in ice water. The mung bean sand tastes Sandy. The sugar mung bean made by others is made of mung bean and sugar. Ah Yao's mung bean sand follows the practice of her former aristocratic family, adding kelp in the mung bean sand, which is cold and beneficial to water; Mung beans are cool in nature. When they are placed in summer, they just have the effects of clearing away heat, clearing liver and reducing fire. The thickness, width and fineness of kelp directly affect people's perception of the bowl of sugar water. If it is too thin and too long, it is difficult to scoop kelp. It is troublesome to chew kelp when it is too thick, so she chooses relatively thin kelp and cuts it into a size half wider and one finger longer than one finger.

After it is done, put the bowl into the ice water with ice residue floating soon.

The guest asked for ice.

Sugar mung beans are iced. More water and less beans will taste better than thick ones. Cool mung beans with a trace of ice slide down your throat. In this sweaty ghost weather, with this bowl of iced mung bean water, you feel your pores open and a cold wind coming.

Li Gang handed out a white porcelain bowl: "the sweet soup is red beans, lotus seeds and lilies."

Compared with mung bean water, there are more water and fewer beans in the sweet soup. The materials in the sweet soup are thicker than water. Each spoon is scooped to lotus seeds and lilies. It is slightly iced. It is not hot just out of the pot. A Yao takes it out when it is chilled to normal temperature.

Li Gang: "sour and sweet is orange and lemon."

It's normal to say here. There's nothing special. When they think so, they hear Li Gang bring two bowls of light brown drinks without oil flowers, one of which has several pears——

"Slightly bitter to sweet, add some salt, no tea, no licorice, drink balsam pear fried"

"Sweet, not too sweet is Houttuynia Fengshui Pear soup."

Old diners: "

Balsam pear frying is excusable. Wait, what's Houttuynia with? Houttuynia cordata is not the Houttuynia cordata they think?

Looking at their faces at a loss, Li Gang's small light bulb lit up and explained: "Houttuynia cordata is a broken ear root."

The diners who ordered the sweet drink rejected the taste brought by folding their ears. They resisted and shouted, "no! I decline! Yao Zhu, what do you think? Can this drink? "

A Yao opened the curtain and came out, wiping her hands: "yes, of course. It's really sweet. You smell it. There's nothing else except the smell of pears and rock sugar. But if you really don't like it, I'll replace it with sugar mung beans? "

"Change it, change it." He nodded hurriedly. Ah Yao went back to change mung bean paste for him.

The diner with bitter gourd fried nearby came up and was eager to try: "give it to me. I want to taste it."

"That's nice." He rejected the broken ear root. At the same time, he was also curious about what it would be like to cook the broken ear root with pears. Now someone is willing to devote himself to being a white mouse, which he can't wait for.

The other two got the normal drink sweet soup and joked, "look at your two bowls. They are bitter and sweet. How are you going to drink them?"

Diner: "try balsam pear frying first. It's bitter before sweet. If it's sweet before bitter, I can't stand the taste."

Ah Yao said with a smile, "what you said is really delicious. In the south of colorful clouds, the local people entertain distinguished guests with three courses of tea and bake half a cup of bitter tea. The sweet tea is added with brown sugar, cinnamon and milk fan. The milk fan is a kind of cheese, and the sweet tea is added with brown sugar and honey. The last course of sweet tea with pepper leaves can be described as one bitter, two sweet and three sweet. "

Diner: "first bitter, then sweet, and then sweet, is also a truth of life."

A Yao only laughs and abandons her philosophy of life. If she talks about the taste alone, she prefers to drink it upside down. Huigan tea tastes strange. Sweet tea is too sweet and greasy. Instead, it is a good choice to use bitter tea back and forth.

He takes a sip, feels its taste, taps his mouth... And gulps it down.

"How's it going?"

"I'll try it again."

In this way, one mouthful after another, Gulu Gulu bowl bottomed out. He sighed comfortably, "it's very refreshing and comfortable, and the inlet temperature is just..."

"Did we hear you say this? Taste, the most important taste."

"It's not hard to drink at all. It's not strange. It's slightly bitter and not astringent. The key point is that after entering the throat, it slowly produces sweet fragrance. This taste is different from orange peel or licorice. It's like drinking soup with a little salt. Miss Yao Zhu, is it just balsam pear? "

A Yao listened with a smile, got up and went to him and introduced: "I use dried balsam pear. When I fry the water, I add dried oysters and a honey date. It's also a good choice to make soup with balsam pear and pig bone. It's the most suitable in summer. Try pear soup again. "

"Scholar" looked at ah Yao for a long time. Her eyes were straight. Ah Yao couldn't feel it. As soon as the diners asked questions, she walked quietly to the old diners. Many people have a sense of security.

"Miss Yao..."

When the scholar opened his mouth, the new diner patted his thigh and shouted, interrupting him: "Oh, yaozhu, if you didn't let him say it was a broken ear root Fengshui Pear soup at the beginning, I really can't taste it. It's sweet and refreshing. It will be sour after drinking. Is it easy to do?"

"Well, you can do it at home. The pears are cut into pieces and cored. They are boiled together with rock sugar and water. They are boiled until boiling, and then the ear roots are folded for another quarter of an hour. In fact, after cooking, they will not have that fishy smell. Pears have the effect of moistening dryness. This soup can be drunk in summer and autumn. "

"Good, good."

"Is it really so delicious?" Asked the diner nearby.

A Yao turned her eyes, went back to the kitchen, picked up a few small cups, scooped a spoonful, distributed them to each small cup, and took them out: "you can taste them until what he said is true or false, free."

Free!

Just a sip and try. It won't lose anything. Diners, one cup for you and one for me, and the tray is empty.

"Huh? It tastes really good. I feel like drinking pear water. It tastes different from pear paste. Is it rock sugar? It seems a little expensive... "

"I feel very comfortable after drinking. I won't feel dry mouth if I still want to drink water. How much is a bowl?"

"Two Wen."

Whenever the "Scholar" wants to talk to ah Yao, he is preempted by enthusiastic and curious diners, or his voice is drowned in the crowd, so he has to look at ah Yao with burning eyes.

He hoped that ah Yao would notice him and talk with him. In public, he couldn't help asking why ah Yao didn't agree to the marriage. He told others that he was a scholar and was refused by a cook. How shameless!

When all these people left, when Yao Zhu came home, he would ask for clarification.

All this was watched by sun Niang.

"Yao Zhu, Dabao wants to eat mush. Come and help me." Sun Niang called her at the side of the kitchen. She walked into the kitchen. Ah Yao answered. As soon as she went in, she was pulled aside by sun Niang. She looked out from the gap in the curtain. Sure enough, the man

"What's the matter?"

Sun Niang silenced her and whispered:

"Now you go home from the back door. Be careful whether someone will follow you on the way. I've been paying attention all afternoon. The pockmarked man has been watching you for a long time. His eyes are wrong."

Watching you for a long time.

When ah Yao heard this, she immediately remembered the anxious looking man. Her scalp was numb. She hugged her arm and solemnly thanked sun Niang: "I will. Thank you for reminding me."

A Yao stopped staying and immediately slipped away through the back door.

The sun hides behind the clouds, but it still can't hide its light and heat. The slate road is hot. When you step on the cloth shoes with several layers of soles, you can still feel the endless heat surging up from the soles of your feet, and the top of your head is also hot.

A Yao quickened her pace and looked around nervously. She was surprised by the vegetation all the way and got home safely.

After that, she took Er Gouzi with her when she went to the foot shop every day, and usually reduced the number of times she went to the lobby. She heard Li Gang and song Fang say that the pockmarked "Scholar" didn't come to the store after that day.

After so tight for a few days, the string loosened quietly.

However, she relaxed too early.
