Xiguan, Texas is now Qiaokou Street. In ancient times, it was a canal pier and a distribution center for passenger and cargo transportation in Texas. Here people flow like water, goods pile up like mountains, the river is full of struggles, and the shore is very lively. Therefore, small traders and hawkers gather here.
among the small vendors in Texas, of course, it is inseparable from the business of braised chicken. There are seven or eight braised chicken shops around the pier in Xiguan alone. They all sell themselves, whether for safety or reputation. These small businessmen have a habit of quantifying, that is, the quantity and ingredients of braised chicken are basically the same. They would rather do less, make less profit and not lower the quality standard. It is this good habit that makes the braised chicken in Texas famous all over the world, but they are not rich.
In other words, there is a small braised chicken shop in Xiguan run by the couple, which cooks more than a dozen chickens every day. Niangs are hungry and can't hold on. His son Jia Fu is strong and filial, and he is always tired. He rushes to dry and leave delicious food to his mother. In order to make his mother do less work, he gets up early and goes to bed late every day. After dealing with the outside affairs as soon as possible, he goes home to get busy.
in this way, the two girls live comfortably. But the fly in the ointment is that Jia Fu hasn't said anything about his daughter-in-law. Although Jia Fu took good care of my mother, with the growth of age, her physique became worse and worse, and finally, she was ill in bed. The two burdens of business and taking care of mother all fell on Jia Fu.
But this dutiful son would rather not do business than let his mother suffer a little injustice. This will definitely affect his family's business. Please see a doctor, take medicine, take care of my mother's daily life, and the business depression has left a man in his thirties with nothing but a skeleton.
In other words, on this day, after he sold the braised chicken, he immediately invited Mr. Wang to see his mother. After seeing the doctor and prescribing the medicine, he sent Mr. Wang away, and then he ate and washed his mother's feet. After waiting for her to sleep, it was very late. In order not to miss his mother's medicine tomorrow morning, he cooked more chickens. Do you want to go even though it's already late at night? Yishou drugstore? Take medicine for mother. Go? Yishou drugstore? Want to pass by? Jiuda Tianzhu? The archway, there was nothing on the way.
It's getting late, and people's pharmacies have already closed. He said a lot of nice things to people and it took a long time to get the medicine back. When he passed the archway again, a chicken flew up on the stone seat of the stone toad in the northeast corner and landed on his shoulder. No matter how hard he hurried, the chicken just wouldn't leave his shoulder. Why?
It turns out that there is a southern Man Zi, which was in the south of Enxian a few days ago? Jinji shop? After stealing a golden rooster there, I quickly rushed to Texas. Are you going to steal it again tonight? Jiuda Tianzhu? After the golden toad under the archway, he immediately flew away and ran away. So, tonight he put the golden rooster in his arms and quietly hid it under the archway, ready to steal the golden toad.
Well, Zhang Guolao, who was passing by, saw his despicable tricks.
When he stole the golden rooster, Zhang Guolao thought, Should Taoism? Have to let people and let people? If he only stole the golden rooster, it's not too late to leave Texas, and it's not too late to punish him if he does bad things again. Therefore, he quietly replaced the golden rooster with a stone. So, this greedy treasure thief with no bottom line is going to steal again? Jiuda Tianzhu? Zhang Guolao won't spare the golden toad under the archway.
When this southern Man Zi, according to his elaborate treasure stealing plan, was about to catch the golden toad, the golden rooster in the arms of southern Man Zi came alive, grabbed him in his arms, pecked him, slipped in a panic, and rolled into the river with the stone toad. Toad fell into the river and swam away, leaving a landscape full of toads near Qiaokou Street. But this southern Man Zi, he was washed into the whirlpool of Huilongba by the river and drowned.
Besides, when the southern Man Zi was about to roll into the river, it flew out of his arms and stood still on the stone platform where the stone toad was lying. When Jia Fu took medicine for his mother and passed by the archway, the chicken flew over his shoulder and said nothing.
Jia Fu struggled under the memorial archway, but didn't drive the chicken away. Finally, Jia Fu thought, anyway, the chicken's owner's house is not far from here, and I will carry it here tomorrow to find its owner. The chicken stood on his shoulder and followed him home.
oddly enough, when I got home, the chicken flew off his shoulder and landed in the yard. Jia Fu put the medicine bag on the small table and went to light the stove to prepare decoction for his mother. As soon as he turned around, the chicken flew to the small table, scratched the medicine bag and ate it. Moreover, it is also picky about food, looking for nutritious herbs to eat, such as safflower, Amomum villosum, cardamom, clove, angelica dahurica, dried tangerine peel, etc., and all the main medicines in the three pairs of medicines will be eaten up in a short time.
At this moment, Jia Fu moved the stove back to the yard. When he saw that the medicine had been eaten by the chicken, he stopped drinking loudly. How have I offended you? You have ruined me so much that I have to kill you. . But the chicken stood there, ignoring him and not running, and he was even more angry. Angry, he picked up the knife to kill the chicken and killed it.
The medicine could not be fried, so he had to cook braised chicken first, and this chicken became his raw material. After washing the chicken, filling the pot and making a fire, and completing the familiar working procedures step by step. Then he got bored and got angry. At this time, it was almost dawn. After a tiring night, he fell asleep by the fire.
At this moment, an old man with a kind white beard came to him, and Jia Fu stood up to greet him. The old man smiled and said to him: I know that you are a dutiful son and have cured your mother's illness. You should be filial to your mother in the future. To this end, I give you a chicken to ensure your future business is booming; Marry another daughter-in-law and live a good life. ?
Jia Fu gave a deep ceremony and said: Thank you, old man? . When he looked up, the old man disappeared, and when he was wondering, he heard his mother say, Fuer, is the chicken cooked? Why is it so fragrant today! ?
Jia Fu was awakened by a word. He rubbed his eyes and stood up. When he saw the old lady coming out of the room, he jumped up in joy and immediately went to the old lady to ask questions. After knowing that his mother was really well, he told her the dream he had just dreamed.
After listening to this, the old lady told her son that this is a blessing from the gods. The two of them immediately fell to their knees, bowed down to heaven and expressed their gratitude. Jia fu has repeatedly said that he wants to: Filial piety, kindness to the people, kindness-oriented, and honesty in doing business? .
At this moment, I heard someone knocking at the door to buy chicken. When Jia Fu opened the door, he saw that it was a passing businessman. The businessman said that he had come out to buy breakfast, and he knocked at the door to buy chicken when he passed by and smelled the fragrance wafting in the courtyard. Jia fu said:? Just a moment, sir. I'll get it for you right away. ? Then he went to the pot where the chicken was cooked and opened the lid. It doesn't matter if the lid is lifted, the aroma comes to my face and suddenly floats out of the yard, overflowing the neighbors and streets.
A passer-by bought two chickens, and they are going to take them back to their residence to eat. But the smell of braised chicken was so greedy that he forgot civilization and ate it as he walked. He eats like this but attracts many passers-by's questions. Where did you buy it? The merchant pointed back and continued to eat his chicken. Soon Jia's yard was crowded with people. Jia Fu bought a dozen chickens in a blink of an eye. He had to apologize to everyone, saying that I was too small to do so much, so please come back tomorrow to buy it.
The next day, Jia Fu tried to make twenty, but they were all snapped up. Every day, not only do you no longer have to go to the dock to sell, but you also have a reservation on the first day. But Jia Fu bought a cauldron and made more than 5 pieces every day, but it was still in short supply. Jia's braised chicken sells well and enjoys a great reputation.
after hearing about it, a diner came from afar to taste it. After eating braised chicken, he was so excited that he left a poem on his wall:? Gently shake the flesh and blood, and the teeth and lips will stay fragrant and not greasy. Why are you drooling? Xiguan braised chicken is the best food. ?
For this reason, his family is getting richer and richer, and Jia Fu is also a good filial daughter-in-law in Zhenzhou. Every new year's festival, they have to give up their homes to help poor villagers. Therefore, they not only live a good life, but also have an excellent reputation among villagers and customers, and their business has been booming.
In fact, the braised chicken of Jia family in Xiguan is delicious, not greasy, and not worried about the market, which benefits from the fine traditions of honest management, moderate price, imam slaughtering chickens without using dead chickens, complete ingredients, quantitative production, low-key life and no bullying. The surrounding braised chicken workshops followed suit, which is famous for today's Zhenzhou? Deshengzhai? The braised chicken shop laid the foundation; Shake China for Dezhou paji, and become? China's first chicken? Made a contribution.
Exactly: all the virtues's filial piety is the first, and it is the lowest to harm the public. Excessive sperm will light up. All naked? Warning words.
many people do good, and Fugui comes around. What you give is what you get. Give up? It is a classic.
