Originally, the loach used only to hide the beauties of the Han Palace had to be kept in clean water for three days and three nights. This allowed the loach to spit out all the dirt and garbage in its body and prevent the dishes from being full of earthy taste. But Xu Maomin learned from Luo Tianwang yesterday.
I bought the loach somewhere and took it to Xilin overnight. After raising it for less than a day and a night, I prepared to use it to make this secret Han Palace Cangjiao dish.
It's not that Xu Maomin is impatient, but that Xu Maomin is absolutely sure about the loach. The loach was kept in clear water for one night. When Xu Maomin went to see the water in the morning, it was still clean, which was different from ordinary loaches.
Xu Maomin naturally knew the reason. It was because the water quality in Luo Tianwang's pond was very good, and there were very few impurities in the loach's body. So there was no need to worry that the cooked Han Palace Cangjiao would have an earthy smell.
Put the purified live loach and cut tofu into the water in the pot, cover it, and light the fire to cook together. The amount of water is appropriate to cover the loach and the tofu is appropriate so that the loach can swim freely. When the water becomes hot,
Loaches will naturally burrow into tofu. The tofu is very thick and the internal temperature is basically normal, making it a hiding place for loaches.
The most important thing about Xu Maomin's dish is the quality of the loach. Of course, the cooking technique is also crucial. The blending of seasonings and the control of the heat are indispensable.
Xu Maomin was very satisfied with the secret Han Palace Cangjiao dish he cooked today, and personally brought the dish to the table of regular customer Chang Xiangming.
"Old Xu, will you serve it yourself?" Chang Xiangming said with a smile.
"You're here, and I haven't delivered it myself yet."
"Old Xu, your place is very humane, and I like this. Wherever you go to eat, it's not delicious. You just lack some unique dishes here. In the past, this Han Palace Cangjiao dish was considered one. But later, all of a sudden
It no longer has the same taste as at the beginning. Is this dish really as good as the previous Han Palace Cangjiao?"
"It will only be high but not low. Don't worry about this, I won't cheat my old friend."
"I believe you on this. But good ingredients are hard to come by these days."
"Although good ingredients are rare, I will find a way to get them. Mr. Chang, after a while, I should have some new dishes here. They can all reach the level of the Han Palace." Xu Maomin couldn't bear it.
I revealed some good news to old customers.
"Really? I'd better try it first to see if this secret Han Palace Cangjiao recipe is as good as before." Chang Xiangming didn't really believe it.
Chang Xiangming used chopsticks to separate the tofu, and a loach was exposed inside. Chang Xiangming picked some meat from the loach and put it into his mouth. A special umami flavor immediately activated Chang Xiangming's taste buds. Chang Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and then
Showed a smile.
Xu Maomin stood aside and stared at Chang Xiangming's reaction. Seeing Chang Xiangming's expression, he finally felt relieved.
"Old Xu, the taste is still the same. Not bad, very good! You, Old Xu, really have a way. How about it? There will always be supply recently, right?" Chang Xiangming asked.
"There is no way to liberalize the supply now, we can only limit the supply every day. But it should be able to maintain it for a while," Xu Maomin said.
"Limited quantity. Lao Xu, you are getting better and better at doing business now. I am afraid that this secret Han Palace Cangjiao will be sold for gold price by you." Chang Xiangming pointed at Xu Maomin.
Xu Maomin smiled awkwardly: "There is no way, it's hard to do business now. If we don't make our calculations more carefully, this business will not be able to continue. When the supply of loach is stable, there will be no more restrictions."
"Mr. Chang, eat slowly. It's still busy inside."
"You go ahead and get busy. Come over later and let's have a drink."
"Okay, okay. I'll come over later to have a drink with Mr. Chang."
Each meal is limited to three servings of the secret Han Palace Cangjiao. Xu Maomin is going to cook it himself. Such good ingredients are a rare opportunity for any chef. Being able to cook such top-quality ingredients with his own hands is naturally the best thing for every chef.
Coveted.
Not long after, the second secret Han Palace Cangjiao was cooked. The customer was received by Qi Biling, and the natural dishes were sent over by her friend Qi Biling.
"Mr. Ni, this is a secret Han Palace treasure, please use it with caution."
"This is the secret Han Palace Cangjiao. It's nothing special with other brands. The price is almost twice as high as other brands. Beauty, you won't trick me, will you?" Ni Xiangchen looked at it carefully.
, I don’t see anything special about this Han Palace Cang Jiao dish. He often socializes, so this is not the first time he has eaten the Han Palace Cang Jiao dish.
"Mr. Ni, the secret Han Gong Zang Jiao in our store is really different from the ordinary Han Gong Zang Jiao. Our boss finally got this loach, and I heard it tastes much better than the ordinary wild loach.
Once you taste it, you will know that I didn't lie to you." Qi Biling was actually a little worried. This dish looks no different from the usual Han Palace Cangjiao. Is the taste really as good as Boss Xu said?
Qi Biling has never tasted it herself, so how can she know if it tastes good or not?
Ni Xiangchen smiled and said, "Have you ever tasted it yourself?"
Qi Biling was very embarrassed and shook her head: "How can I afford such expensive food? If I can afford this, why should I work here?"
Ni Xiangchen smiled: "I'll try it first."
Ni Xiangchen said to several friends: "Come on, let's all try it and see if this secret Han Palace Cangjiao really tastes that good. Let's verify whether this beauty fell to the ground and didn't lie to us."
Ni Xiangchen took a bite first, but did not say anything. Instead, he took another bite with chopsticks with some uncertainty. He found that after two bites, the feelings of the two bites were somewhat different. He took a third bite and found that the taste was different.
changed.
"Mr. Ni, please tell me, does this dish taste good or bad?" asked a friend of Ni Xiangchen.
"Wouldn't you know if you try it yourself?"
"I don't really like eating loaches, you don't know that."
"Try it. I guess after you taste it, you will like eating loach in the future."
"real?"
Ni Xiangchen's friend also tasted it and was surprised: "Why doesn't this loach taste like a loach at all? Originally, I was most worried about the fishy or earthy smell when eating loach. But this loach has no such smell at all. It's in my mouth.
It feels so fragrant in my mouth. It tastes so delicious!”
"Beauty, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have missed such a delicious dish. By the way, here's another secret Han Palace Cangjiao."
Qi Biling shook her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, we are supplying this dish in limited quantities. Each meal is limited to three servings. Each table is limited to one serving."
"Where can you do this kind of business? Why is there a limit?" Ni Xiangchen's friend was a little dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry. It's not that we don't have an unlimited supply. Who wants to struggle with money? The problem is that the supply of ingredients is not available. Our boss got this batch of ingredients with great difficulty." Qi Biling quickly explained.
"Then if we come here again in the evening, can we still serve this dish?" Ni Xiangchen asked.
Qi Biling nodded: "There is also a limited supply of three servings in the evening. If you come early, it should be fine. But I am not absolutely sure. What if others come earlier?"
Maomin Hotel’s secret Han Gong Cang Jiao became very popular in Xilin. There are no foodies in Xilin who don’t know about Mao Min Hotel’s secret Han Gong Cang Jiao. Because of this limited supply dish, Mao Min Hotel’s business suddenly
The subtitles are getting popular. Usually there are few people in front of the door, but now the parking space in front of the door is simply not enough. Most of the cars parked in the nearby parking places come to the Maomin Hotel to grab the secret Han Palace Cangjiao. Foodies
The power is infinite.
Xu Maomin was half happy and half worried. What he was happy about was that the business that had been difficult to maintain suddenly became popular. What was worrying was that the more than ten kilograms of loach would not last at all. If it lasted for more than ten days at most, the loaches would be used up.
By then, without this secret Han Palace Cangjiao, the business of Maomin Hotel will definitely plummet again. Although Xu Maomin wanted to reduce the daily supply and changed the limit of three servings per meal to three servings per day. But in fact
, this is not feasible. Not only can the limit of three servings per meal cannot be changed, but when some customers who cannot refuse come over, Xu Maomin has to make an exception and add one or two servings. This makes the supply of loach even tighter. However, Xu Maomin has no other choice.
The only way was to rush back to Shuikou Miao Town overnight.
He rushed to Luo Tianwang's house early the next morning.
"Tianwang, can we supply more loaches?" Xu Maomin asked.
"The loach supply room can supply some, but not a lot. The area of rice fields I contract may increase. Many people in the village have been running to my house these days. I also hope that I can subcontract a large area of abandoned rice fields in the village.
.So, the breeding of loaches is a bit tight.”
In fact, when Luo Tianwang subcontracted the rice field in front of his home, many people in the village were interested. It was 3,510 acres. Although the money was not very much, there were basically no people in the village farming the fields. So for a hundred yuan
Many people rent out the rice fields for 35 years for 100 yuan or 3500 yuan a year. In the long run, it seems that it is more cost-effective to keep the rice fields in your own hands. But
If the rice fields are abandoned for farming, they may be taken back by the government at any time. Because the ownership of the land belongs to the state. In the past, there was a fine for abandoning farming. Now the control is not strict, but who knows whether it will be strict in the future? Food supply is a matter of concern.
to the big problems of people's livelihood. And if you can get a lump sum of money, many very practical problems can be solved.
Many people in the village have bought houses outside and even settled in the city, but the contracting rights of the rice fields are still in their hands. They are also worried about the long nights and dreams. It is better to exchange the rice fields for money. He Mawan will wait another hundred
In 2016, there were no demolition opportunities like those in the suburbs. Therefore, it seemed to be a good deal to get a sum of cash.
