Chapter 379 Donglin Chicken
"The Shang family troupe is now very famous in Lancang County. Every day, the Shang family troupe's theater is almost full of people!" Manager Zeng had also thought about inviting the Shang family troupe, but when the Shang family troupe heard that they had to go to the provincial capital, they said they had to ask the boss for permission.
"I don't know who the owner of the Shang family troupe is. Many people like to listen to the new plays performed by the Shang family troupe!" Shopkeeper Zeng kept talking, with regret in his words.
"If we can invite someone to Hongdu, with the lark to perform on stage, would we still be worried that no one would listen to the opera? What about Miss Mengzhi? I think the lark sings better!" Every time Shopkeeper Zeng came back from the provincial capital, he would go to listen to the lark sing!
"Manager Zeng, you can try again next time. Maybe it will work?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Manager Zeng meaningfully.
Shopkeeper Zeng's eyes lit up a little, and he looked at Xiao Jiuyue with admiration, and said, "Miss Xiao is right, try a few more times, and you will succeed." Shopkeeper Zeng thought secretly, no wonder the Shang family troupe, who never came to perform at home, set up a stage in the village last year to practice their singing!
As we talked about Fengchunlou, time passed quickly and it was noon.
"This is the improved version of the aged vinegar chicken. Shopkeeper Zeng, you can try it!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the dish and introduced it directly, saying, "Taro braised pork. It's different from the pickled mustard greens braised pork we usually make. The base of this is made with taro."
"tasty!"
Before Shopkeeper Zeng could say anything, Xiao Jiayuan, who had rushed back for lunch, started eating with big mouthfuls, praising the taro: "It's easy to grow, and the yield is high. I used to feel choked up, but now I don't feel that at all."
"Sister, this aged vinegar chicken, I thought it was sour and not tasty, but unexpectedly, it's even better than the fish fillet in sour soup!" Xiao Jiayuan turned into a foodie, chattering as he ate, "I like chicken, it's so tender!"
Xiao Jiayuan is now ten years old. Although he has not started to grow up yet, in addition to going to school on weekdays, he also goes to patrol the orange grove with his classmates. His daily consumption is huge and his appetite is increasing day by day!
"What Young Master Jiayuan wants to say is exactly what I want to say." Shopkeeper Zeng was originally going to praise him, but when it came to him, he was at a loss for words.
Xiao Jiachen, who was eating silently on the side, said: "Sister, the rabbit is very spicy, but it's delicious!"
Xiao Jiayuan looked at the rabbit that had not been eaten yet, and started praising the group again, saying one nice word after another.
"The spicier it is, the more flavorful it is." Xiao Jiayuan picked up a piece and took a bite. His eyes lit up: "Sister, it's spicy and numb. It's burnt on the outside, but the rabbit meat inside is very tender. It's delicious!"
The brothers Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen didn't even want to say words of praise now, they just buried their heads in work, even though their foreheads were sweating, they still couldn't stop reaching for their chopsticks!
"You two, eat quietly." Xiao Jiuyue listened to the two brothers singing in unison. Over the past two years, the timid Xiao Jiachen, who didn't even dare to speak at the beginning, has now begun to dare to express himself.
"Miss Xiao, what the two young masters said is right, it is indeed delicious! It tastes completely different from the smoked rabbit." Shopkeeper Zeng likes spicy food to begin with, and now when he eats the spicy rabbit, the numbing aroma and rabbit meat taste even better than he had imagined!
"With these dishes, I don't think they can steal our business. When we divide the money in the second half of the year, we can get an extra share!" Shopkeeper Zeng is no longer worried like when he came here. Now he is full of confidence.
"Then I wish the restaurant great prosperity." Xiao Jiuyue also hoped that the restaurant would make money. She said, "The name 'Chencu Ji' doesn't sound good enough. Why don't we change it?"
"Aged Vinegar Chicken, Aged Vinegar Chicken, it doesn't sound very appetizing. Miss Xiao, what do you think we should call it?" Shopkeeper Zeng asked seriously.
Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, "This was discovered in Donglin County. How about calling it Donglin Chicken?"
Anyway, there are no copyright issues these days.
"Okay!" Shopkeeper Zeng responded, saying, "Miss Xiao, I'll send someone over tomorrow to learn how to make these dishes! Taro, I'm sure they're growing them in the village, right?"
"Of course." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly. She had always liked eating taro, so she chose a corner to plant taro.
Shopkeeper Zeng ate and drank his fill and left contentedly.
"You two, next time when you praise others, remember to learn more words!" Xiao Jiuyue raised his hand and gave each of them a chestnut. When these two praised others, they didn't know how to be subtle at all!
"Sister, we are telling the truth. The master said that we should seek truth from facts!" Xiao Jiayuan covered his forehead that was hit and quickly winked at Xiao Jiachen. Xiao Jiachen nodded in agreement: "That's what the master said!"
"Go and bring your homework." Xiao Jiuyue glanced at them. The two little guys had grown a lot taller. It seemed that they had been running and jumping outside a lot. She didn't know how their homework was doing.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm doing my homework well!" Xiao Jiayuan was not afraid at all. He and Xiao Jiachen ran away in a short while. When they came back with their homework, they were still panting.
"Sister, look, this is the big characters I practiced. This is the book the teacher asked us to copy, and it also contains my own ideas." Xiao Jiayuan said as he took out the homework he had prepared. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he had packed up all these homework so that his sister could check it when she came back.
"Let me see." Xiao Jiuyue first looked at the big characters. Compared with two years ago, Xiao Jiayuan's handwriting has improved rapidly. At the beginning, it was as thin as an earthworm, but now it looks quite good.
"There's progress." Xiao Jiuyue began to check the homework assigned by Mr. Jiang. In fact, it was just copying an article and doing a simple reading comprehension. In this regard, Xiao Jiayuan was undoubtedly talented.
"Sister, how is it? The master praised me." Xiao Jiayuan said happily, looking at Xiao Jiuyue with anticipation, waiting for her praise!
If Xiao Jiayuan had a tail, it would definitely be wagging behind him. Xiao Jiuyue praised him, "You've made progress in your homework." The little guy does his homework seriously, so it's nice to praise him.
Sure enough, after she finished praising him, the little guy couldn't hold back his smile anymore. She cleared her throat and reminded him, "Be careful not to be arrogant or impatient."
"I know. Be humble and keep moving forward." Xiao Jiayuan rushed to speak, his serious look on his face made Xiao Jiuyue dazed for a moment. The chubby little brother at the beginning seemed to have grown up and had a bit of youthfulness.
"Sister, my homework is here." Xiao Jiachen nervously took his homework and felt uneasy while waiting for Xiao Jiuyue to check it.
Xiao Jiuyue did not act casually just because Xiao Jiachen was her aunt's son. Instead, she took his studies very seriously. When it came to scolding Xiao Jiachen for his mistakes in schoolwork, she was merciless, but when it came to praising him, she was also generous.
"Jiachen, you're good at math. Keep working on it!" Xiao Jiuyue coaxed the two little guys into a good mood with a slap on their face and a sweet date. She stood up and said, "Let's go meet your teacher!"
