Xu Linyue, who transmigrated from the 21st century, crossed over with a heaven-defying spatial ability, possessing the body of a five-year-old farm girl. She originally thought of just accepting he...
Seeing that Qibao didn't tell them, everyone stopped asking.
After a while, a Q-version boy dressed in ancient costume was drawn. Su Chenyu asked curiously, "Qibao, are there people like this in the world? It feels weird..."
Qibao said with a wicked smile, "Look carefully at who this portrait is of."
Everyone looked at him carefully, and the more they looked, the more familiar he looked. Suddenly, they thought of something and looked at Jingchen again. Uncle Xu said, "Why do I think he looks like Jingchen?" "Yes, I think he looks like Jingchen too," echoed Grandpa Xu.
Su Chenyu also said in surprise, "He really looks like my cousin!"
Qibao laughed and said, "That's Brother Jingchen. Don't you think it's funny? This is different from his quiet self. This is what makes him cute, right?"
Su Chenyu touched his chin and said, "It's really interesting. This cousin is really adorable. He's chubby and has a happy smile on his face, like a fool."
Jing Chen was originally in a good mood because Qibao drew him on the wall, but when he heard his cousin call him a fool, his face darkened and he stared at Su Chenyu coldly.
Su Chenyu was a little nervous under the gaze of her cousin, and waved her hand and said, "I was wrong, you are not, I mean it's quite cute."
Even Jing Chen's secret guards Ye Feng and Ye Ying thought that such a master was pleasing. Although the master was young, he had a strong aura. It would be great if the master could be as pleasing as this painting. He thought so in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.
The palms of the characters in Qibao's painting are facing upwards, and Qibao wrote a few words above the palms: Life is not only about poetry and distant places, but also about the cumin barbecue in front of you.
Jing Chen and Su Chenyu found it interesting. They had never seen a store with such a style before. It was really novel. They thought that the paintings alone could attract many customers!
Qibao added some finishing touches and started painting on another wall. As soon as he finished painting the facial features, everyone guessed it was Su Chenyu. After the painting was finished, Su Chenyu said dissatisfiedly, "Qibao, why did you draw me so showy? If others knew it was me, they would laugh at me!"
Qibao smiled and said, "How is this showing off? I just drew your smug look. Don't you think it looks a lot like your usual self?"
Jing Chen nodded lightly and said, "Very similar!" Su Chenyu was speechless, feeling that her cousin was taking revenge on her. However, since the painting was indeed very vivid, she didn't say anything. She happily looked at her own Q-version portrait and admired it. Although the expression was a bit exaggerated, it was quite similar!
Qibao then started to draw his own image. Coincidentally, the three of them were the owners, so this could be considered the logo of a barbecue restaurant.
Qibao drew himself holding chopsticks in one hand and a plate of barbecue in the other, eating with gusto. There was some soup on his mouth, and the food looked particularly delicious, which made people hungry at first sight.
Qibao finished drawing the whole thing and observed it once, then drew various green vegetables in the larger blank areas before he finished drawing.
Su Chenyu said, "This is really interesting. Not to mention the taste of the barbecue, just this unique style can attract many customers."
Qibao looked at the results of his work with satisfaction, thinking it was good and his painting skills had not deteriorated. After finishing everything, he waited for the opening of the business.
Uncle Xu rubbed his hands together and said, "Qibao, your paintings are really beautiful. Can you draw one for me too?"
Old Master Xu glared and said, "Do you think you're a fairy? You don't have any good eyesight. Qibao must be tired from painting by now, and you don't seem to care. Can't you pour a glass of water for Qibao to moisten his mouth? You're actually thinking of causing trouble!" Uncle Xu's face flushed red with embarrassment. He thought to himself, what a fool his father was. He didn't even give him the slightest bit of shame in front of so many children...
After scolding his son, Mr. Xu put on a smile and said, "Qibao, I'm not as impatient as your second uncle. When you have time, help grandpa draw a picture!"
The Xu brothers were speechless.
Qibao suppressed a laugh and said, "Okay, Grandpa, everyone gets a share."
Suddenly, both Xu brothers grinned.
Jing Chen was touched when he saw this scene. To put it bluntly, he envied Qibao's family for being so kind to her.
Su Chenyu said, "Qibao, now that everything is ready, all we need is the ingredients. I've already found the supplier. When should we start preparing?"
Qibao said, "If all the meat we need this afternoon can be delivered, we can open at noon tomorrow and prepare the ingredients in the evening."
Su Chenyu said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to notify the meat delivery companies. I've signed a contract with them, and they'll deliver fresh meat every day, so you don't have to worry about it. The supply is stable."
Qibao said, "Thank you, Brother Chenyu. Could you please send a carriage to my house to bring all the vegetables over? Don't worry, I've already told grandma, and she knows which vegetables to get."
Su Chenyu said, "No problem. I'll send someone to Xujia Village right away."
Qibao saw that the kitchen staff had already packed up the food they had bought, and said, "All the ingredients we need will be delivered soon. Everyone, wash and chop what needs to be washed. We are making food, so we must pay attention to hygiene. Even if your hair is tied up tightly, you must wash the vegetables thoroughly, understand?"
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, Miss!"
Uncle Xu saw that it was getting late, so he went to the school to pick up his brothers. He walked there since they were all in town and not far away.
After a while, all the chickens, ducks, fish and mutton were delivered. They were all cleaned directly. As long as they were weighed to make sure they were about the same weight, they could be cleaned and cut directly.
The meat filled a large horse-drawn cart, which was a huge project. The meat vendor helped to move all the meat down. The price of each piece was different, and the total cost was almost twenty-five taels of silver!
Su Chenyu handed over the silver and said, "If you still need it tomorrow, I will send someone to inform you in the evening!" He was not sure whether the business would be good, so he did not order the goods for the day after tomorrow.
The vendor took the silver with a smile and said kindly: "I wish you a prosperous business, sir. I have never seen a shop like this before! If you have a chance, please come and try it. I won't bother you anymore. If you have any questions, just send someone to let me know!"
Su Chenyu nodded in response.
The peddler drove away happily with the silver in his hand.
Qibao ordered the shop assistants to carry all the meat into the kitchen, asked them to wash the meat first, then picked up a piece of mutton and started slicing it, demonstrating to the chefs. Those chefs were already doing this, and after Qibao's demonstration, they quickly learned how to do it. The main thing is to cut the meat into even sizes and not too thick. After cutting, marinate the meat slices. Since there is no cooking wine here, use white wine instead. Add pepper, salt, and green onions and process it simply.
Although many seasonings were not available in ancient times, the chili powder and cumin powder used by Qibao were all produced in space, and the taste was incomparable to that outside, which made up for this.
I told the chef to marinate it for half an hour and then put it on a plate and place it on the long table in the kitchen. The weather is starting to get cold, so it won't go bad if it is kept for two days.
