PS: There was some delay today, which caused the update to be late, and it will be updated tonight. Tomorrow, the May Day holiday will be closed, and the [-]D update will make up for today's update.

How to describe the taste of braised pork?
First of all, the sauce is mixed with the fragrance of star anise and wrapped in meat flavor.

Then there is a hint of sweetness mixed in. After the slow fire, the whole taste is continuously fused and sublimated during the cooking process. The longer the cooking time, the stronger the fragrance. The more greedy you are.

In the Northern Song Dynasty where the diet was monotonous, especially in this small town, it is appropriate to ask about this kind of strong aroma that enters the stomach.

gollum...

Many people's stomachs began to growl unsatisfactorily.

At this moment, the resistance to fragrance and food is almost zero.

Some people were far away, staring at the pot of meat boiled on the street, drooling all over the place. These people are all residents of the small town, and they all know that Li Chu's dishes are very expensive, so they had to He fastened his trouser belt and watched eagerly.

Even if you can't eat it, it's satisfying to look at.

I really want to gather a lot of money and go to Brother Chu's to have a good meal. I heard that Brother Chu's craftsmanship is really unique in the world, why didn't I know it before?Pity.

"Is this the Qingfeng Xulai Hotel?"

The store hasn't found it yet, but this scent, ah, ah, ah... really whets the appetite, among other things, just for the scent, I have to eat this at noon today!

……

"Look at this dish called Braised Eggplant. It looks good. Look at the color. Look at the red eggplant meat. It's full of appetite."

"This fried pork with green peppers also looks very beautiful. I don't know what the green peppers are. Look at the meat slices one by one. I don't know what kind of sauce is smeared on it. Just in terms of color, it is better than the ones we have eaten before. Those look better, but I don’t know how they taste.”

"Hey, is this a real lion's head? It doesn't look like it. Why is it called braised lion's head, but although it's not a lion's head, this round one looks like it's made of meat."

"I've heard of this dish. Lion's head is a famous Yangzhou dish. I didn't expect to see Yangzhou dishes on Northwest Beijing Road. Hey, it's not just that, this dish."

In the carriage, two young men in well-dressed clothes were holding a leaflet, staring at the dishes on it and commenting on each other. At the side, there was a middle-aged man who also held a leaflet in his hand, lighting it up from time to time. Head, very satisfied with the above dishes.

Hey, the scent from there.

Well, the scent...

The two youths stopped talking, and they looked at each other. They immediately opened the curtains on both sides of the carriage, stuck their heads out of the window, and smelled the source of the fragrance.

……

Guest, here we come.

He showed it all the way with his nose, and he held a leaflet in his hand, and he probably didn't read it much. As soon as he came here, he went straight to the big pot of braised pork on the street.

This fragrance, yes, is here!

"Boss, give me a bowl of this meat!"

"I know the price of your vegetables here is high, well, it's five taels of silver, I only need a bowl of this meat, don't have to look for more, and I'll make up for less!"

"Well, sir, take your seat, the braised pork will be here soon!"

Li Chu scooped two large spoons of meat and put it into the iron wok, then poured in another spoonful of stew soup. He then turned on high heat to reduce the juice, and simmered the oil soup into a thick braised sauce.

At this time, there are two ways here, one is to stir-fry green peppers and stir-fry them with braised pork.

One is to collect the juice directly from the pot and put it on the plate.

What Li Chu did was the second one. He collected the juice and put it on a plate. He used a large plate to fill it up. Before serving it, he put another layer of green vegetable leaves on the plate as a decoration.

Braised pork, serve!

As soon as it was served here, two more people came from the street, each holding a leaflet, and one of them took the leaflet to compare Li Chu's restaurant, until he saw the Qingfeng Xulai Hotel standing on the street The words on the small plaque were confirmed.

"Shopkeeper, bring me a plate of stir-fried lotus root, fried pork with green peppers, braised lion's head, and what is your meal, it's really delicious. You can also bring me this."

"Okay, be objective, take your seat."

……

Since these few people started, Li Chu's side has never stopped.

At first, there were only a few people, but as more guests heard the news, Li Chu was a bit too busy alone, so he quickly called Yang Feng back, and Wen Ru helped him, responsible for cutting vegetables and some simple tasks. Fried.

Yang Feng is in charge of washing and dividing the vegetables.

Axiu also came to help and became a waiter. Axiu wrote down what was ordered at each table and reported it to Li Chu. At the same time, Axiu and Yang Feng were responsible for bringing the dishes to the table.

The closer to noon, the more people come to eat.

Gradually, Li Chu didn't have enough tables and chairs prepared in advance, what should I do?
borrow!
Borrow tables and chairs from neighbors in the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the size of the cement floor is not bad, and it can accommodate it.

What is an advertisement?

This is called advertising!
A small restaurant on the side of the street, take a look, look at the occupancy rate, it is full, then look at the side, look at the entrance of the Fushui Inn, under the organization of Li Chu, there is actually an opening Had to wait in line for a meal.

Some people even took this leaflet and stayed in the Fushui Inn. Why?Discount!
If this is for people in later generations who are used to leaflets, they may throw them away when they send out leaflets. The number of people who can really come is limited, and it will cause a lot of pollution instead.

Li Chu's customized leaflet also took this issue into consideration, so he specially requested a customized system, using non-polluting paper and ink, even if it is discarded in the wilderness, it will gradually rot and will not cause any pollution.

Use a flyer to create momentum here.

On Li Han's side, they followed Li Chu's instructions and kept a close eye on Zhang's Hotel.

In fact, what Li Chu did was far more than simple observation. He sent two people to stop outside the door of the Zhang Family Hotel. When he saw people coming, he didn’t care if they came to eat or not. one.

After one is inserted, the second one comes again. Anyway, no matter what, he is just trying to make trouble for you.

During this period, four or five guys with wooden sticks ran out of Zhangjia Restaurant to chase them away.

Although Li Han didn't go too far after this expulsion, but where is the Zhang's restaurant?It's just next to Ping'an Square in the north. Li Han and others distributed leaflets in Ping'an Square, and they still ate food. If they said that it didn't affect Zhang's Hotel, they must be telling the truth.

Moreover, it's not just Zhangjia Restaurant.

Ma's Inn, which cooperated with Zhang Laocai in Zhangjia Restaurant, was also affected.

Because the Ma's Inn is next door, and part of the content of the leaflet printed by Li Chu is to promote the Fushui Inn, and it also borrows the strategy of the Zhangjia Restaurant and the Ma's Inn, and also cooperates with the Fushui Inn Alliance.

The private room on the third floor of the Zhangjia Inn.

Ma Dongcai tasted tea, but he didn't care about tea.

Zhang Laocai walked back and forth in the house angrily, very arrogant.

On the table, there was a brochure for Qingfeng Xulai Hotel.

And just a moment ago, a dog leg had just reported to Zhang Laocai the hot flow of people in Li Chu's restaurant.

"I'm mad at me too!"
