The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

Chapter 1344 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of the Ten Thousand Yuan Household (25)

“This is the Ruifu Building that was opened after the Rui family moved here.”

Wang Zhao led Xu Yin to the main gate of Ruifu Building at No. 1 Tongfu Street, pointed to the antique facade and said:

"It continues the decorative style of Ruifu Tower in Beijing, but the facade is larger than that of Ruifu Tower in Beijing. This is a legacy created by Grandpa Rui's family generation after generation. In the past few years, the cornices on both sides were smashed, and the doors, windows and rafters were damaged. A lot of the carvings on the pillars were also damaged. After the owner came back, he went to great lengths to hire an old craftsman who knew how to repair it. He tried his best to repair what could be repaired and mend what could be repaired."

Xu Yin looked up at this simple building with white walls, black tiles and cornices, as if she had seen its former glory.

Wang Zhao opened the door and asked Xu Yin to go in.

"The lobby has just been painted, and the tables, chairs, and benches haven't been delivered yet. The furniture factory said that the state-owned hotel has ordered a batch of dining tables, and our order will be queued behind them. Master Xu, aren't the tables and chairs in the state-owned hotel quite new? Why did you order it again? I heard Comrade Lu say that the other day, it seems that the new dining table is specially made for new dishes. The state-owned restaurant is very grand, and the table is specially made for just one dish. Then look at our dining table... "

Xu Yin rubbed her chin, walked around the lobby, and suggested: "Did you order the Eight Immortals table with four benches?"

“Yeah! Whose family doesn’t eat at the Eight Immortals Table?”

“The capacity of the Eight Immortals Table is not optimal.”

Xu Yin said, pointing to the windows on both sides:

"A small long table for four people can be placed by the window, which is convenient for two, three, or four people to dine; a round table with auspicious and festive meanings is placed in the center for large gatherings. The Eight Immortals Table can seat up to eight people, and any more will squeeze into the legs of the table. Yes, the round table can seat ten people. If you squeeze in a squeeze, eleven or two people can sit. The upstairs private room is casual, and the Eight Immortals table and the round table are both suitable. But relatively speaking, the round table is more suitable for dinner parties, and it is comfortable no matter where you sit. If you can’t reach the middle dish, you can add a small turntable.”

“You mean the small table with flowers and decorations placed in the middle of the table?” Wang Zhao seemed to have heard Rui Ge say this.

“It’s almost the same, but it can be customized to be larger. The dishes are placed on top, and you can just turn around and get whichever dish you want. You don’t need to stand up to pick it up.”

 turntables have long appeared, not only in foreign countries, but also in China, but they have not been widely used in restaurants everywhere.

Wang Zhao's eyes brightened the more he listened: "What a great idea! I'll write it down right now and go to the furniture factory in the afternoon to change the order."

Xu Yin followed Wang Zhao, walked around upstairs and downstairs, made a few suggestions, and then went to the kitchen behind the main building to have a look.

 It is indeed Ruifu Building. The kitchen can rival the lobby area:

 Entering the door, the left side is full of large pots for frying and cooking, with twelve burners in a row;

On the right side is the stock pot and steamer for stewing;

 There are flues on the left and right sides. Although there is no range hood yet, this design has a good smoke exhaust effect;

A row of windows is opened in the half of the north wall opposite the gate to provide ventilation from the north to the south.

The lower part is a group of storage cabinets. The cabinets are used for displaying dishes. The cabinets store plates, dishes and pots of different sizes in categories.

 In the center of the kitchen is a very wide long table, which is used by handymen to cut vegetables and prepare vegetables. There used to be water tanks at both ends of the table, but now they have been upgraded to sinks with taps connected to them.

There is a side room on each side of the kitchen. The east side room is used for kitchen staff to eat and rest; the west side room is a storage room for various tableware items and ingredients in the kitchen.

There is a medium-sized yard behind the kitchen. The ground is paved flat with blue bricks. There is an octagonal well in the corner with a pressure water pump installed. There is a tall persimmon tree beside the well.

There is a row of houses on the side of the courtyard gate. They used to be dormitories for kitchen staff, but now there are a lot of sundries piled up. The courtyard gate opens into the back alley.

General restaurants will have a door in the back kitchen to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods, as well as the entry and exit of kitchen staff, and Ruifu House is no exception.

Moreover, in the front, there is a wind and rain corridor on the left and right of the main entrance of the kitchen that connects to the main floor. The corridor is very wide and shelters from wind and rain. Even if it rains heavily, the dishes on the dinner plate will not get wet.

There is a patio between the kitchen and the main building, which is designed as a garden. Two of the pomegranate trees were planted when Ruifu House was first built. They are more than a hundred years old. The two persimmon trees were planted by Mr. Rui when he took over Ruifu House. The two pear trees were planted by the previous owner, Rui Xijin’s father.

"We once joked that the homophonic sound of pear tree was unlucky, so... But Uncle Rui and Aunt Rui met during a beautiful pear blossom rain. Rui... The owner said, just keep it and plant a few more in the morning. Just one with auspicious meaning will do. No, this time I asked someone to go to the south to get seedlings, and a batch of hydrangeas that are rare in the local area were brought in. They will arrive in a few days."

The more Xu Yin heard, the more she felt that the current owner of Ruifu Building was a wonderful person. Her parents met during a pear blossom rain. They thought the pear trees they planted were unlucky, so they bought them a batch of hydrangeas.

Hydrangea, hydrangea, jade tree and beautiful flowers, happiness and contentment.

Ruifu Building occupies a large area. The main building is in the middle, the kitchen is at the back, and there are independent courtyards with gardens on the left and right sides.

"When Grandpa Rui was in charge, the east side courtyard was his old man's residence. Uncle Rui's family lived in the west side yard. When we were children, we played hide and seek and often got in through the dog hole at the root of the garden wall. When Grandpa Rui saw us, not only did he not scold us, but They also prepared delicious food for us. From that time on, we and Brother Rui became good friends... After Uncle Rui took charge of the family, Grandpa Rui was so happy that he moved to the small courtyard at the end of the alley, next to my house. There was a period of time here It was converted into a guest room to receive some distinguished guests from afar..."

Wang Zhao recalled his childhood and talked more. Lala told a lot of interesting things about his childhood.

Xu Yin was listening and watching, and saw that the courtyards on the east and west sides were empty, and asked curiously: "My boss doesn't live here now?"

"Ah? Well, it has been less than three months since Ruifu Building was taken back. It has been decorated, right? After returning to the city, the owner has been living in the small courtyard that Grandpa Rui loved to stay in during his lifetime. In fact, he is also afraid of hurting his feelings. . But don’t worry, Master Xu, the accommodation arranged for you is in another garden, not far from here, just a few steps away. That garden used to be beautiful. It was originally for Rui... Well, it was not arranged for others a few years ago. Well, those people didn’t protect it at all. They even beat and beat it before moving away, causing quite a lot of damage. However, I have sent people to repair it carefully. When the seedlings are replanted, you will definitely like it. "

Xu Yin didn’t take it too seriously as she was satisfied with the dormitory as it was an independent room.

 It was getting late, and she had to go back to work: "I'll go back and ask Master Zhao. If he's interested, I'll take him with me."

 “Okay, okay!” Wang Zhao nodded like garlic.

It doesn’t matter who you bring, as long as Master Xu is willing to come!

He sent Xu Yin away with his front legs, then ran back to the Rui family courtyard and brought the good news to his brother Rui.

"...How about it? I think we can negotiate today! Master Xu is such a good person. After looking at the overall decoration, he pointed out a few unreasonable things to us. I have written them all down, and I will ask the master to modify them later... Oh By the way, this is the radish grown by Master Xu himself. It is said to be a non-spicy variety and can be eaten raw as fruit. Brother Rui, do you want to try it?"

After Wang Zhao finished speaking, he took two radishes and ran to the well to wash them. After washing, he picked up a "Kacha" and took a bite: "Well! It's really not spicy. Not only is it not spicy, it's also quite sweet. It's very moist!"

Seeing that he didn’t look like he was lying, Rui Xijin took another carrot out of boredom and took a bite.

At this taste, the remaining radish was not worthy of Wang Zhao.

 But as compensation, I gave him a few apples.

 Wang Zhao: “…”

 No matter how delicious radishes are, how can they be as delicious as apples?

 How did Rui Ge get such a picky tongue?
