Chapter 113： Planning to open a snack shop

When Jiang Zhennan and his party returned home with a **** and a shovel, they saw Lin Yuelan and Zhou Wencai chatting and laughing on the stone table in the courtyard.

As for the other person, Liu Jiaying, he selectively ignored it.

As for Doctor Zhang, he continued to work on his herbs in the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Wencai's first glance, Jiang Zhennan was very displeased.

What to do with such a white skin, and where to look like these foxes, and what to do with such a big mouth, in short, this is the first time that Jiang Zhennan has raised his nose and eyes at a person, and he can't look anywhere. .

As soon as he entered the door, he was familiar with the road in a corner, put the **** and hatchet in his hand, and then walked to Lin Yuelan and asked loudly, "Miss Yue'er, is everything done?"

What he said was the matter of buying land.

The original intention of his question was to imply the familiar relationship between him and Lin Yuelan, the man who had something to say to Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, "Well, it's done!"

Saying that, Lin Yuelan picked up the tea cup on the table by the way, poured a cup of tea for Jiang Zhennan, and handed it to Jiang Zhennan.

Jiang Zhennan also took it over, like a water buffalo drinking water, he drank it in one gulp, it was a big boss.

Zhou Wencai looked at the four or five men who came in one after another, frowning slightly, as if he didn't understand, but also had doubts in his heart.

There are five big men living in a girl's house. This is a bit inconsistent and unreasonable.

Besides, these five men are three big and five rough, and they have a kind of terrifying aura about them, they are not robbers, right?

However, Zhou Wencai really looked at the man who let Lin Yuelan pour the tea himself. When he saw the mask on his face, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart jumped.

The image fits that person so well.

He was tall and stout, with a burly stature, wearing a silver mask, especially his fierce and outrageous aura. At first glance, it was impossible for ordinary people to have such a strong aura.

So, could it really be that person?

But that person is far away in the capital, how could he be nestled in a mountain valley and be a farmer man with a **** and a shovel doing farm work? Shouldn't he carry a big sword and face those enemies majestically?

Although Zhou Wencai's father was only a small county magistrate, the Zhou family's family was a big family with thick roots, where the power gathered in the capital and occupied a place.

Although Zhou Wencai is the direct descendant of the Zhou family's concubine, but every year the main family will have a family gathering, whether it is the main family or the next-generation sons and daughters must attend.

The direct daughter is the role of marriage, and the direct son is the family who selects qualified candidates and trains them. In the end, these people must serve the family and be used by the family, otherwise, they will be removed from the family.

Zhou Wen is one of the people chosen by the Zhou family, so the Zhou family must reveal some information about the capital to him.

Therefore, Zhou Wencai is not ignorant of some movements in the capital.

It's just, in the past few months, I heard that the man guarding the place has returned to the general's mansion.

However, when a person so similar to that person suddenly appeared here, Zhou Wencai had to wonder if something happened over there in the capital that made that person hide here, or was it really two people who looked alike?

Zhou Wencai wanted to find out the truth, but he was a little flustered and uneasy inside.

But his intuition told him that it was best not to have such curiosity.

Zhou Wencai suppressed the doubts and unease in his heart, picked up a cup of tea on the table and put it in his mouth, but the slightly pale fingertips showed his nervousness and panic.

Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan could clearly see Zhou Wencai's expressions and movements.

Jiang Zhennan's sharp eyes flashed under the mask, and then he continued to drink.

Lin Yuelan also held a teacup, lowered her eyes, and gently blew on the tea with her small mouth, and small ripples formed in the teacup, and then Lin Yuelan took a small sip.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them was a little strange.

Dr. Zhang's movements of fiddling with herbs were already skilled and smooth, and his wise and shrewd eyes swept over Zhou Wencai, who seemed a little flustered but calm.

The person who is most at a loss and a little helpless here is Liu Jiaying.

When entering the house, Doctor Zhang told her that there were several men staying here.

However, when a few big and five thick men came in with bare arms and a towel around their necks and hoes and shovels, they were immediately shocked.

She was shocked for two reasons. First, they looked fierce and a little scary, and Liu Jiaying was just a protected Huaguduoer. Adapt.

Second, a man and a woman are not seated at the age of seven. A lot of girls from big families don't go out of the gate, and they don't step out of the door. Even the males of their own families have to avoid seeing each other as much as possible, let alone an outsider.

Although Liu Jiaying has no restrictions on going out, every time she goes out, she must be accompanied by three or five people, or even her brother in person, so she rarely contacts foreign men.

Now suddenly seeing so many tall and strong men at her friend's house made her a little overwhelmed.

Liu Jiaying grabbed Lin Yuelan's hand nervously, and asked her in a low voice, "Yuelan, who are they? They look so fierce?" At Lin Yuelan's request, Liu Jiaying addressed Lin Yuelan from the beginning of the month. Sister Lan was changed to Yuelan, which sounded friendly too.

In fact, she wanted to ask, is it appropriate for them to live here?

However, she knew she shouldn't ask that.

Because this is Lin Yuelan's private affairs, she cannot interfere in other people's private affairs.

Lin Yuelan said indifferently to Liu Jiaying, "They are just my friends."

No identity was introduced.

Because it is not necessary.

Just because everyone around her now comes out as a friend.

Zhou Wen only breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Yuelan say this.

It seems that this person is not that person, but at least so far, his identity is very ordinary here.

So, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask what you shouldn't know, don't know.

Therefore, everything is treated as ordinary ignorance.

Such is the wise and wise man!

Lin Yuelan glanced at Zhou Wencai out of the corner of her eyes, looked at him as if he was relieved, and tickled the corner of her mouth drinking tea, expressing her satisfaction with Zhou Wencai's knowledge of current affairs.

However, looking at Jiang Zhennan's masked face, his brows wrinkled again.

It seems that in order for him to wear no mask, the centipede scar on his face must be removed.

Otherwise, in the future, every time a person sees his appearance, he will definitely guess his identity.

In this way, his identity will not be concealed for a long time, and it will be spread to the ears of some people. This is what she doesn't want to see.

Well, it seems that he has to take off the mask.

Jiang Zhennan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and he didn't know who was thinking about him.

Listening to Lin Yuelan's introduction, Liu Jiaying's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hey, what's so fragrant?" Liu Jiaying was waiting to know what to do when her nose was very sensitive to smell the aroma of food.

Looking in the direction of the fragrance drifting over...

"Brother Guo, you are so unkind." Xiao Liuzi took a pair of chopsticks and came to Guo Bing, who was holding a bowl, and wanted to grab the dumplings in the bowl. "There were not many dumplings left last night, but you stole them all."

The chopsticks were not clamped, and the chopsticks were misaligned on the side of Guo Bing's body.

However, Guo Bing was able to prevent this, but not that.

I saw that the little three had already put one in his mouth.

Zhou Wencai and Liu Jiaying were dumbfounded as they watched the group grab the food.

Liu Jiaying looked at the crystal clear dumplings, swallowed her saliva, and asked excitedly, "Yuelan, what are they eating? They look delicious." Transparent, it looks like a crystal.

Lin Yuelan looked at the big bowl Guo Bing was holding, raised her eyebrows, and said, "That's dumplings!"

"What are dumplings?" Zhou Wencai smelled the fragrance, stared at the dumplings in the bowl, and asked eagerly and excitedly. "Can I taste it?"

This thing looks delicious.

Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying staring at the bowl in Guo Bing's hand, almost drooling, she stroked her forehead lightly, and said, "They ate what was left over from yesterday. If you want to eat, I'll make some more for lunch today. Bar."

Looking at so many people, it's definitely not doing something.

Liu Jiaying's eyes lit up immediately, and exclaimed, "Really? Yuelan, that's great."

Lin Yuelan looked at Liu Jiaying's excited expression, she couldn't say anything when she refused, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Lin Yuelan saw that it was getting late, so she got up to prepare.

Followed by Liu Jiaying, chatting while asking, "Sister Yuelan, what are dumplings made of? Do we need to prepare anything?"

Lin Yuelan was not impatient with Liu Jiaying's chatter. She said, "You don't need to prepare anything, just follow me. Little Twelve prepares wild vegetables!" The last sentence was directed to Little Twelve.

"Okay!" Little Twelve responded immediately.

Put down your chopsticks, and you are not ready to grab it.

Anyway, Miss Lin will pack again, keep her stomach, and eat fresh is better.

Liu Jiaying watched Lin Yuelan pour the noodles, add water and stir the noodles, and said curiously, "Sister Yuelan, what are you doing?"

"Kneading noodles," Lin Yuelan said, "After mixing noodles, roll out the skin, and add the stuffing to make dumplings."

Liu Jiaying felt eager to try, she asked, "Can I come?"

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "You can't do it. Your strength is too small and uneven!"

Liu Jiaying's expression was a little disappointed, but when she heard Lin Yuelan's next sentence, she immediately became overjoyed.

Lin Yuelan said, "However, after a while, you can learn to wrap!"

After Lin Yuelan matched the water surface ratio, she shouted to the outside, "Little Sanzi, come and make noodles!"

"Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Guozi, roll the skin!" He ordered directly.

National movement, great strength and fast work!

Then, knead the noodles, roll the skin, and make the stuffing.

"Miss Lin, how much meat do you use this time?" Little Twelve asked.

"Two catties of fat and one catty of lean meat!"

"Okay!" After answering, he walked towards the cellar excitedly, and came out with two taels after a while.

Wash it, smash it, then put it in a bowl and mix it with the wild vegetables.

Jiang Zhennan was sitting there, but Zhou Wencai was stunned.

He considers himself a gentleman to stay away from kitchen robes.

However, now a group of big men are crowded in this small room, doing the same work as cooks in full swing.

What surprised him even more was that what he had just seen was that the vegetables that Xiao Twelve cooked looked like weeds on the side of the road.

I slot!

Is this edible?

After finishing the herbs, Doctor Zhang sat on the stone table, drinking tea without moving.

Afterwards, he smiled and said to Zhou Wencai, "Young Master Zhou, Lan girl is impatient, please don't take offense. Oh, by the way, let me give you a suggestion. When you eat dumplings, fill yourself a bowl first. !"

He doesn't know how to eat dumplings, so why should he fill a bowl all of a sudden? Zhou Wencai was completely puzzled.

"Wow, Yuelan, these things look like ingots, they're really beautiful!" When Lin Yuelan made the first dumpling, Liu Jiaying was startled and screamed, and then she wanted to make a bag of her own, just , seems to be out of shape. Either it's not showing the stuffing, or it's kneaded into a ball, like a round ball, Liu Jiaying said with some annoyance, "Why can't I learn so much?"

However, perhaps the more frustrated she is, the more brave Liu Jiaying is, the better her mental strength will be.

Zhou Wencai watched from a distance the thing that turned into a fat and white gold ingot when Lin Yuelan pinched two fingers, but became more and more curious in his heart.

But he considered himself a scholar, and should not approach the kitchen.

However, at this moment, he is hesitant and undecided.

Really too curious.

Seeing that Lin Yuelan was making more and more dumplings, Jiang Zhennan took a guess, put down the teacup, and walked towards the kitchen. After that, he rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and, uh, started to burn.

He first added water to the pot, then covered the pot and skillfully added wood and fire.

Zhou Wen was stunned for a while!

I am more and more surprised, is this person the same person?

That person is of great power and dignity, how could he bend over and set fire in a small kitchen?

This time, the dumplings are obviously much faster than yesterday's.

After a while, the first pot of dumplings will be ready.

Doctor Zhang unceremoniously picked up his bowl, filled the first bowl, and started to eat.

Mmmm, same taste as yesterday.

Zhou Wencai was a little confused.

Is this edible?

Smelling the tempting fragrance, Zhou Wencai swallowed and wanted to eat it.

But why didn't anyone bring him a bowl?

Do you want him to find a bowl by himself, or let him eat it with his hands?

Zhou Wen just wanted to choose neither.

He was the eldest young master who was born with a golden key. Everywhere he went, someone prepared bowls and chopsticks for him. Now, suddenly, he wanted to find the bowls and chopsticks by himself. He felt awkward and reluctant.

However, he can't just watch others eat.

Zhou Wencai tried to turn his attention to others, hoping that someone would notice his condition.

It's just a pity that the dumplings are freshly made now, who would pay attention to a arrogant young master because he didn't take the bowls and chopsticks for dinner.

Liu Jiaying was luckier than Zhou Wencai, because Lin Yuelan served her a bowl of dumplings directly and also served her with vinegar.

"Ying'er, come, these dumplings are more delicious with vinegar!" Lin Yuelan said.

Liu Jiaying tried one and immediately shouted, "Yuelan, these dumplings are so delicious! I have never eaten such delicious food since I was a child!"

This sounds a bit exaggerated.

But Lin Yuelan knew this was the truth.

Because, some time ago, she learned that the cooking level in this world is so low that she can't even cook ordinary fish. Other dishes are boiled except for steaming, and there is almost no other seasoning except for oil or salt. Coming to the inn to cook a dish, even putting vinegar, still needs to be sneaky, which makes Lin Yuelan very speechless.

It's no wonder that every time she made a meal, these people would be surprised again and again.

Lin Yuelan put a few more in her bowl and said with a smile, "If you like it, just eat more!"

His eyes were aimed at the eldest young master who wanted to eat, but remained motionless, waiting for others to serve him, a little speechless.

She didn't even know what Zhou Wencai was thinking about. At this time, she was still able to endure the temptation and wait for the meal to open her mouth.

Seeing that everyone had a bowl of dumplings in their hands, and just sitting here watching others eat dumplings with relish, Zhou Wencai no longer cared about the reservedness of the literati, stood up, walked straight towards the kitchen, and then found the bowls and chopsticks , and then clumsily fished out the dumplings in the pot.

After finally catching a bowl, Guo Bing grabbed it immediately.

Guo Bing thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master Zhou, I'll eat this bowl first!"

Zhou Wencai was annoyed for a while, but he couldn't grab it, so he could only take another empty bowl and put the dumplings.

This time, he kept an eye out, and when he saw someone coming over, he immediately protected the half bowl of dumplings in his hand, and looked at the person who came vigilantly.

The little third child comforted and said, "Don't worry, I won't rob you of your bowl."

With that, he picked up the spoon and filled his empty bowl.

After the third son left, Zhou Wen was a little smarter this time.

Seeing that there were not many dumplings left in the pot, his actions quickly sped up a few people, and Huhu filled his bowl full.

He now finally understands why Doctor Zhang asked him to fill his bowl full.

Feelings, these people are robbers, rush to eat.

After Zhou Wencai put down the spoon, he couldn't wait to taste the dumplings.

One sip, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the juice taste is also strong.

Zhou Wencai stared at the dumplings in the bowl with wide eyes in disbelief.

Isn't this stuff so delicious?

After that, I didn't have any more thoughts, so I went to two and three, and immediately started to eat.

"Yuelan, did you come up with these dumplings?" Liu Jiaying started to ask when she was 80 percent full.

"Well." Lin Yuelan responded.

"You are so smart." Liu Jiaying admired sincerely, "Not only can you fight tigers, but you can also cook and eat like this."

Lin Yuelan smiled without answering.

Zhou Wencai moved over and asked Lin Yuelan, "Miss Lin, can this thing be sold in a restaurant?"

There is no restaurant in his house, and this is what he asked for Liu Qi.

Liu Jiaying has a pure heart and will never think of this business opportunity.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "I'm waiting for this thing to be sold by myself!"

"you sell!"

"What, you want to sell dumplings?"

"Want to sell dumplings?"

Several unbelievable exclamations startled.

Lin Yuelan nodded as a matter of course, "Of course. Not only do I want to sell dumplings, I also want to sell Mala Tang, hot pot, and barbecue?"

Hearing these must be delicious food again. Except for Zhou Wencai, everyone else's attention was lured to what is Mala Tang, what is hot pot and so on.

Zhou Wencai frowned slightly when he heard Lin Yuelan's answer, and asked a little puzzled, "Miss Lin, didn't you cooperate with Yuelai Inn and promise Brother Liu to provide him with new dishes? Then if you run your own business, then Brother Liu's..."

I'm afraid it's hard for Liu Qi to explain it. Zhou Wencai didn't say it, but of course Lin Yuelan understood what he meant.

The corners of Lin Yuelan's lips twitched, and she said in a clear and loud voice, "Young Master Zhou, don't worry, since I cooperate with Liu Qi, I will not violate the agreement."

Immediately, she explained, "The store I want to open does not conflict with the new dishes provided to Yuelai Restaurant. Because what I am going to open is a snack shop!"

"Snack shop?"

People were puzzled.

Don't know what a snack bar is?

Lin Yuelan explained, "Snacks are a general term for food with a unique style in taste. For example, this kind of dumplings can be called snacks. Snacks are usually not for filling, but for tasting and satisfying cravings."

These people nodded understandingly.

Guo Bing swallowed a dumpling with a grunt, and then asked, "So, Miss Lin, what do you mean, there will be many, many delicious snacks in the future, such as that spicy hot pot or something?"

The idea of ​​​​foodies is to go on the road of foodies.

Obviously shouldn't ask, when did the snack shop open? Why do you notice that you are still attracted by those snacks.

Zhou Wencai heard Lin Yuelan's words, secretly relieved for his friend.

Fortunately, Lin Yuelan didn't breach the contract, otherwise, how much would Yuelai Inn lose?

Zhou Wencai said immediately, "Miss Lin, if there is any place where I need Zhou, feel free to speak. As long as you squeak, Zhou will try to do it for you immediately."

Open a snack shop, so that you will not be able to eat these delicious foods every day in the future.

As soon as Jiang Zhennan heard that Lin Yuelan wanted to open a snack shop, his heart immediately became hot.

Later, he can also help.

But then his eyes darkened again.

Because, he thought of the mask on his face, the scar on his face.

Wearing a mask is too conspicuous, without a mask, I am afraid it will scare the women and children.

Jiang Zhennan struggled for a while, and then said with determination, "It's decided, let Miss Lin remove this scar!"

Only after removing the scar can he openly and honestly start a business and sell snacks with Lin Yuelan.

Otherwise, those men have been helping, what is going on?

Jiang Zhennan was slightly jealous.
