Donglaishun's soy sauce is not bought on the market, every summer we dry the sauce in the backyard, put the best yellow sauce on the Thyla shop, that is, the big tin slices, with a bucket and then the oil from the poisonous sun, plus licorice, cinnamon, rock sugar... Sounds beautiful, right? When the oil was dried, the buddies almost didn't dry it! Also, pickled leek flowers, you have to add sour pears! This way the taste will be sour and sweet...
Xuannan (XuanwuMen South) these hutongs, although leaning on the Liuli Factory and the provincial capitals, go out to touch the nose are poor Beijing officials, people and masters, as well as customers from all over the world who buy books and sell books. However, there are very few children who study, and most of them still enter the shop early and become apprentices.
The second son, Xiao Kui, Fu San'er, and me, when I was a child, I grabbed mud and urine together, and in the past few years, I have learned my own business, and on weekdays you go home and I live in a hotel, and I see very little. Apprentices may not be able to go home for the New Year, and the treasurer has ordered that if you should look at the store, you must look at the store. One Chinese New Year's Eve to look at the shop at night, watching the home and the father and mother a few streets away, and could hear the two kicks and the ma leizi coming from there, and the smoke of the gun smoke in the southern city kept pouring out.
It was easy to complete three years of business, and then at the end of the New Year's Festival, before the fifth day of the first year, no one would go to the store again. The first two sides of the first dumpling, the first three hezi to the home. The brothers made an appointment to eat zygotes at Fu San'er's house in the third year of the first year, and Fu San'er's mother's pork and leek zygotes were made to be doubly good!
Fu San'er's family is a flag man, Manchurian rules, no fireworks before the fifth day of the first year, but stayed in Beijing for a long time, regardless of those. Stir-fry two chickens, peanuts, meat skin jelly, and add a plate of pickled sour cabbage, the little brothers drink first, wait for the wine is enough, and then eat zygotes.
I haven't seen him for two or three years, and he is particularly affectionate, talking about the ugliness of his childhood, the neighbors who are old (dead), who are married, who are carpenters, whose houses are sold to the father-in-law in the palace. The most kan is still the business of their own learning.
The second son followed his uncle and sold flowers. As we all know, the concentration of flowers in Beijing is concentrated in the eighteen villages of Fengtai, and the flowers planted in the villages are different. The second son's uncle's flower cave is in the Yuquan camp, and the flower factory is in the Huguo Temple, and after a year, the silver is in full swing.
The second son said that selling flowers pays attention to a season, the moon season, peony, jasmine, there is a response at that time, after the season, the flowers on the market will be less, can stay up, make a lot of money, or people say "no food in the morning, there are horses to ride at night." "At the autumn equinox, the farmers in Heze, Shandong Province, went to Beijing to sell peonies, one cart and one cart, a bag of sixty trees, and one tree sold for fifty cents! The grandsons of the Zhao family building, specially picked the ones who did not open the buds, pressed the price of selling flowers, followed by placing them in the warm cave, into the winter, smoked with fire, smoked until the Spring Festival, the flowers bloomed, a peony, can sell a piece of the ocean! Exercise! "The second son is quite uneven, probably his uncle can't do this."

"What is this?" Xiao Kui was not convinced, "I heard the old customers say that in the past, in the former Qing Dynasty, the Majialou Lu family specialized in planting bergamot, fragrant peach, and herbs, and usually sent medicinal materials to the medicine shop, and loquat leaves could sell five pieces a pound!" You can't buy it at another house, if you buy someone else's, the Lu family won't give you any more goods. He's all stocked! In this way, the business of growing fresh medicinal herbs in the southern city has all returned to their families. There is also a case, every New Year's Festival, the palace Lafayette let Li Lianying Li Gonggong go to his home to buy Bergamot, as long as the dot is good, a pound of Bergamot five or two silver! Grandmother! His family said that they could sell one or two thousand pounds a year! Xiao Kui took a sip of wine, and his eyes were red.
"Don't talk about people! Xiao Kui," Fu San'er took the chopsticks and nodded at his head, "you have also had a small three years in Donglaishun, right?" You have a blessing in disguise! Brother who has spare money to go there? Tell me, how is the shabu-shabu there delicious? What's the secret recipe? ”
"Cough, what a secret recipe! Pull the dick! Let's compare, row up, just my apprentice learned dirty! tired! In our apprenticeship, every process must be followed, for example, Dong Lai Shun raises his own sheep, and the Madian outside the Desheng Gate buys live sheep in batches, puts them outside the city for tenant farmers to raise, fattens, kills the sheep in winter, kills the sheep, the best parts, hind legs, upper brains, are left to their own shops, others, sold to other shops. You think about it: sell a hundred thousand pounds of meat a year, and the good meat is still in our place! Can you not recruit guests? But this sheep breeding, the grievances are great..."
"Don't," the second son cut off his words, "none of us have suffered?" Big New Year's Day, don't sigh that bitter scripture! Tell me, how is Donglaishun a delicious method? ”
Xiao Kui came to be interested: "You don't say, it's really a bit of a doorway!" First of all, this meat must be cut thinly, the treasurer has a rule, a pound can not cut out eighty pieces, I want to go to the case palm knife! At present, the master knife master of the old shop is dug up from the Zhengyang Building, and a pound of meat can be cut into a hundred pieces. If you think about it, lamb is thin, not only is it shabu-shabu, it tastes good, but it is sold on the plate! A pound of meat can sell for two and a half pounds!
"Secondly, let's say it's a seasoning—it's all our secret there, and the brothers can't poke me out!" Poke out my rice bowl and smash it! Donglaishun's soy sauce is not bought on the market, every summer we dry the sauce in the backyard, put the best yellow sauce on the Thyla shop, that is, the big tin slices, with a bucket and then the oil from the poisonous sun, plus licorice, cinnamon, rock sugar... Sounds beautiful, right? When the oil was dried, the buddies almost didn't dry it! Also, pickled leek flowers, you have to add sour pears! This way the taste will be sour and sweet. Soy sauce, leek flowers, chili oil, Wang Zhihe's rose red tofu milk, mixed together, a slice of fresh lamb, in the pot to get a rinse, that taste, tut ... "This boy, said that the dishes on the table are tasteless.

Speaking of eating, they pointed their guns at me: "Don't pretend!" They all say that The food of Dao Xiangchun is good, look at your little fat! They pinched my hand with their fingernails, "I have dimples on my hands!" ”
"Don't pinch, don't pinch," I yelled, "the food is good, the meal is rice, there is no coarse grain - our owner Zhang Senlong Zhang is from the south, and the whole store eats rice." Each meal has four dishes and a soup, there are meat and vegetarian, in the winter also give a change of hot pot, every month on the first day and fifteen, the whole store eats 'treat', Guanghe ju into a table table, Manager Zhang also accompanies everyone to eat together, but there is a pile, no drinking! If the cabinet is busy and can't catch up with the meal, the kitchen manager will send buns..." Several people listened to it again.
"Look at that! You think the boss is stupid? He eats well, and tries to encourage the guys to eat more, that, but also to give him more strength, you think, Dao Xiangchun follows the Dong'an Market to open and close the door, open at nine o'clock in the morning, close at twelve o'clock at night - especially busy at night! The auspicious theater dispersed the play, and the people who came to buy food were Wuyang Wuyang' ... Also, he also in order to prevent everyone from stealing food, you think, the cabinet is full of southern goods, lard walnut cake, walnut crisp, eight zhenyun cake, cream cake... Jinhua ham, Cantonese plate duck, Gaoyou salted duck, rotten anchovy, Suzhou sauce chicken, smoked fish, smoked shrimp, pork... What is not more expensive than a meal? ”

"Drink, this Zhang Senlong, good enough!" Fu San Er was an apprentice in "Yi Ren Dang", and even he said fine, and the other two only nodded.
"Manager Zhang?" He's just too good! I also drank too much, and the things that I usually looked at coldly and watched all poured out at once: "As soon as I entered the store, he told me the rules: only allow the east to resign, not allow the group to resign the east, the east to resign, a brush, a stroke to resign, a clear stroke." Also, once in ten days there is a 'talk', the counter treasurer reports to him the situation on the counter, if you say that you are not good, around the third section, the manager will say 'official language', who is not hanging a knife on the head? ”
"However, Dao Xiangchun's business is really good, who doesn't pick a thumbs up?" Xiao Kui's apprenticeship place was closest to mine, looking in the eyes.
"Well, there are some places where people are not convinced. How much rain did it rain last spring? The walnuts in Nanshi were all smashed in the hands. At this time, Manager Zhang took the money, bought in large quantities, and then launched the whole store guys, their own family members, as well as the guys who could come, peeled walnuts day and night, the big ones were directly placed on the cabinet to sell, black-skinned, sold badly, peeled, fried, made into fried walnut kernels to sell, small and broken, can not be sold, peeled, sieved, and in the stuffing, pastries, Lantern, where not to use? Crush it again, and put it into the noodles and make walnut crisps for sale! Nothing is wasted! ”
"Then why do you say he's too refined?"
"Hmm," I asked, "last May Day, he used some gift certificates, saying that he could let customers buy them and give them away, and then change things in the store." Supposedly, this is a good thing, and the guest's money is set up in advance. But there is one thing, the gift certificate is exchanged for something, not counting the income from the sale of goods on the counter! Do you know how many red envelopes are on the counter, whether they will be said to be 'official', and how many goods are sold? Gift coupons are happy, only to see the goods go out, do not see the money come in, can the people on the cabinet not be in a hurry? People's eyes are bright, and when they see gift certificates, the quotations are high, and the scales are low. One after the other, the guests also learned to be fine, not to say at the beginning, when the things are said to be checkout, only to take the gift certificate out... At this point, can the person on the cabinet give a good face? The guest has suffered a loss, can he come again? ”
"No wonder!" Xiao Kui nodded and smashed his mouth, "I heard people say that Dao Xiangchun has been shorter than two pounds recently, and I still wonder, isn't this a brand destroyed by myself?" ”
"Therefore, in business, people can't be unskilled, and they can't be too..." As soon as the curtain was lifted, Fu San'er's mother came in with a steaming zygote, and the oil fragrance could flush people with their heads. The second son, Xiao Kui, and Fu San'er couldn't listen to me, screaming, picking up plates, grabbing chopsticks, and grabbing the joints. I didn't care to talk anymore, so I pounced on it: "Stay a little, you leave me some..."
In an instant, the four apprentices returned to the joyful childhood.
