C98 (1/2)

The sound of the bamboo shoot up, like a slowly flowing stream, the stream clear and clear, the stone fly away gradually. Suddenly, from the side of the field leaning out Xiao-Ya guzheng strings, like falling on a stream of pear flowers, adding a clean and fresh natural.

On the central wooden platform on the second floor of Mountain Note sat two men wearing green clothes with their hair tied up in a bun.

There were two Attendant s and two maids standing by the side with a faint smile on their faces.

Jin Xiaolou was in the kitchen preparing the ingredients herself.

With the opening of Mountain Note today, most of the food on the first floor was fast food. Most of it had already been prepared yesterday night. The second floor only had one table, and the western cuisine required Jin Xiaolou to prepare.

Busy, Lv Yun lifted the curtain and entered: ”Innkeeper, together with Master's palanquin, we have reached the street.”

Jin Xiaolou nodded, then pulled Gui Zhi and Kuang Ruyue's help. She wiped off the moisture on her hands, took off her clothes and walked out.

When he rushed past the entrance of the backyard, he saw Gao Lang carrying Lin'er and playing with him under the magnolia tree on a small stool.

Jin Xiaolou lowered her head and laughed. Suddenly, she felt that Gao Lang was just like a man who stayed behind to protect his husband.

Seeing that the crowd automatically parted to form a path, Jin Xiaolou quickly retracted her train of thought and walked over.

As soon as Justice got off the palanquin, Madam Meng Guangmei followed closely behind and walked towards the entrance of the shop.

Yesterday, Lv Yun's words had already spread out. Today, when everyone saw that the Madame He had indeed come, they naturally believed it to the bone, and wished to enter the store to try, even if they did not have the chance to go up to the second floor, to try out the dishes on the first floor.

It was just that now was not the time to open up for business, so Jin Xiaolou had to create momentum first.

She led Justice and Meng Guangmei to the second floor and directly brought them to the balcony.

Jin Xiaolou invited the County Governor and Countess to come in order to fire her first shot.

The two of them sat in an open-air booth and ate lunch. People passing by on a busy street would be able to look up and see these two signs.

Just as she arrived in front of the table, two Attendant s immediately came forward and pulled up chairs for the two. Jin Xiaolou extended her hand: ”Sir He, Madam, please enter.”

The two of them sat down, and the Attendant sent the chair inside, pushing it straight to the best seat.

This movement, these two Attendant s practiced for an entire afternoon under Jin Xiaolou's supervision until it was perfect.

Immediately after, the other two maidservants set the table.

A white porcelain plate, a jade bowl, and a pair of knives and forks.

Jin Xiaolou went to the smithy and specially made the knife and fork. Seeing the look of doubt on Justice's face, Jin Xiaolou bowed and said: ”The second floor of Mountain Note is for eating new things the old master and mistress have never eaten. We don't need chopsticks to eat, we only use the knife and fork.”

Then, Jin Xiaolou taught the two how to use their knives and forks.

The people below the balcony were all staring at the food with sharp eyes. They were all surprised to see knives and forks in the food.

He then saw his wife holding a knife and fork in her hand. Her head was slightly lowered, and her long neck was slightly exposed. The green light surrounding her made her look so graceful, as if she was a painting.

Each of them pretended to hold a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, mimicking the appearance of the old master and his wife.

Jin Xiaolou smiled, half of her goal had been accomplished.

She felt that the chopsticks were the greatest invention, but she wanted to use this time gap that spanned several hundred years to let the ancient people see the eating tools of the West.

Make value out of novelty.

Just as the Church, Justice and Meng Guangmei arrived, Attendant was already carrying two cups of honey and lemon tea.

This honey was the wild honey of the forest. Jin Xiaolou had long ago asked the Madame Ye to find three strong villagers to go into the forest every day to gather them.

Meng Guangmei drank a mouthful, and praised.

”Not only does this honey lemon tea taste good, it also has the effect of nourishing beauty. Madam can make an appointment with three or five friends and order a cup here from time to time.” Jin Xiaolou then followed up and introduced, ”Not only do we have a proper meal, we also have afternoon tea on the second floor of the Mountain Note. Between noon and night, we can also come here to drink some tea and eat snacks.”

Jin Xiaolou wanted to push the second floor into the circle of the young mistresses from the rich families, becoming their place to pass the time.

The appetizer that Jin Xiaolou prepared today was grilled white fish, accompanied by prawn balls and fruit salad, fried pork chops, fried fish and willow trees, and cream mushroom soup.

It was the first time Meng Guangmei and Justice had eaten a meal together. Although the ingredients were all ordinary things that they had seen before, they had never tried them before.

Then, he would cut the pork chops with a knife and fork them to send them to the entrance.

The pork chops with seven parts cooked were tender and juicy inside, while the outside was burnt and fragrant. It was definitely a normal taste.
