The more Su Yuewei thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was a good one. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her approach. She just ate this dish and was inspired after being reminded of it. She didn't go to find out how to make it. This didn't count.
steal.
Isn't it just lotus leaves, chicken, glutinous rice, plus chestnuts and mushrooms? Su Yueling, a person who has never touched Yangchun water, can imagine it. She has been cooking since she was seven years old, and she can only cook better than Su Yueling.
eat.
It's a pity that the bowl of lotus leaf chicken just now was eaten by others. In order to maintain her own image, she couldn't compete with others, so she didn't even eat a bite, otherwise she could compare the taste difference.
Because she had an idea in her mind, Su Yuewei calmed down a lot. Even after hearing Zhang Xinghua's strange words, she could still say with a gentle face: "This lotus leaf chicken is not difficult to make, and the ingredients are easy to buy. I will buy it in the afternoon."
When the ingredients come back, let’s eat this tonight, okay?”
"I just have to go to the trouble of Wan Li to help pick fresh lotus leaves. If there are no lotus leaves, the key lotus leaf fragrance will be lost."
Zhang Wanli patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pick the best lotus leaves and come back."
Zhang Xinghua didn't feel weird anymore. After all, she also wanted to eat delicious lotus leaf chicken. The lotus leaf chicken that was brought back was just a little bit, and she just tasted a few pieces and it was gone. Her craving was aroused and she kept eating.
Can't get down.
Although Zhang Chengwang still had a calm expression on his face, there was also anticipation in his heart.
After everyone finished eating and put away the dishes, Su Yuewei fed her stepson again. The stepson was two years old this year and it was time to be active. He started jumping out word by word and walked quite vigorously. He didn't look at him for a while.
, it is possible to cross the threshold.
Unfortunately, my sister-in-law will only help her when she goes to town to buy groceries.
By the time she arrived, her stepson Zhang Jinyu was tired from playing and fell asleep. Su Yuewei took a basket of prepared handkerchiefs and said to Zhang Xinghua: "Xinghua, I went to the city to sell handkerchiefs and buy ingredients for lotus leaf chicken.
Please help me take a look at Jinyu."
Although Zhang Xinghua doesn't like Su Yuewei, Zhang Jinyu didn't come from Su Yuewei's belly, he was still her nephew, so there is no reason why she shouldn't feel pain.
Su Yuewei just used this as an excuse to go to the city. After all, only by going to the city to sell handkerchiefs would she have an excuse to stay in the city longer.
When she entered the city, she found a shop she was accustomed to cooperating with and handed a basket of handkerchiefs to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he saw it, "Your color matching has improved, the handkerchief looks much more elegant."
Su Yuewei smiled and said, "I was just thinking about it at home, so I came up with a new color scheme. I just hope that the customers in the store will like it."
This color scheme was Su Yuewei's chance to see the handkerchiefs used by the Yuan family. She thought it looked good, so she secretly wrote it down and used it herself. Unexpectedly, it won the praise of the shopkeeper. It seems that this step was the right one. Baoshu in Needlework Girl Red
He really has some talent.
Su Yuewei never thought that this was Su Yueling's idea. How could Su Yueling understand these things since she had never used needlework?
Because the shopkeeper really liked these handkerchiefs, he not only placed them in the most conspicuous position in the store, but also gave each handkerchief a penny more than before. Su Yuewei was very pleasantly surprised. When she came out of the store, her smile never dropped.
She took the time to buy the things she needed to make lotus leaf chicken. After buying it, she went directly to her parents' house in the county town. When she was ready, she took it to Jixiang Restaurant to sell it.
She knows very well that her second uncle used to be the shopkeeper at Fulai Restaurant, and Su Yueling's recipes were also sold at Fulai Restaurant, which led to her not having a very good impression of Fulai Restaurant. Furthermore, Fulai Restaurant has several signature dishes, so they may not be willing to pay high prices.
Bought her lotus leaf chicken.
But Jixiang Restaurant is different. Jixiang Restaurant was acquired by the Shaodong family of Mingyue Building. Now the two companies have the same owner and they communicate with each other. Originally, the two companies joined forces to squeeze Fulai Restaurant out of business, but now the situation has reversed. Instead, Fulai Restaurant
The restaurant is the only one, so Jixiang Restaurant definitely needs a popular new dish.
After it was ready, the lotus leaves wrapped in the chicken were opened, and the aroma that filled the air made Su Yuewei's parents, Su Liao and Su Dashan, salivate.
"Weier, are you specially cooking this for us?"
Su Yuewei said: "This half is for you, I have to take the other half home, otherwise the Zhang family will claim it is mine. You also know that my sister-in-law doesn't like me everywhere now."
After hearing this, Ms. Su Liao felt a little regretful that she couldn't eat all of it, but half of it was not bad. She planned to leave a few more pieces for her precious son.
Su Yuewei cut off half of it and gave it to them, and put the other half in a bowl. She also specially took out all the ingredients stuffed in the chicken's belly. In addition, the chicken was cut into pieces and the lotus leaves wrapped in it were lost, so she brought it to Jixianglou.
Go ahead, the chef will definitely not know how to do it.
Then she can bargain.
She took a bite and a smile appeared on her face. It was indeed delicious. Although she had never tasted Yuan Baoshu's cooking, she thought it should be no worse than hers.
Su Yuewei couldn't wait to carry this dish and ran to discuss business with Jixianglou. What made her a little annoyed was that Jixianglou was only willing to give ten taels of silver. You know, Su Yueling sold recipes for dozens of taels.
Other small shops could not afford higher prices, so in the end Su Yuewei had no choice but to take ten taels of silver back.
She was holding silver in her hands and her heart was beating fast. She had never had so much money.
Of course, she would not be carried away by the joy. Before going home, she bought another set of ingredients for making lotus leaf chicken so that she could explain it to Zhang Xinghua and the others.
So that night, the Zhang family ate lotus leaf chicken again.
After Zhang Xinghua ate a piece, she put down her chopsticks a little unhappy, "Why is it not as delicious as the lunch one?"
The chicken at noon was extremely tender, with the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the glutinous rice absorbed the essence of all the food. It was salty and mild, making it impossible to stop eating.
Su Yuewei picked up a piece and put it into her mouth, a little puzzled, "Is my way of making it not to your taste?"
It's obviously delicious. Otherwise, Jixianglou wouldn't have spent ten taels of silver on the recipe.
Zhang Xinghua snorted, "It tastes good, but it depends on who you compare it with."
If she had never eaten the lotus leaf chicken sent by the Yuan family, of course she would also think it was delicious. But after eating it, the one made by her sister-in-law seemed boring, which made her miss the lunch she had eaten even more.
"Since you can't do it, don't talk nonsense and make me look forward to it for a long time."
Although Zhang Wanli thought his sister-in-law's cooking was not as delicious as Yuan's, it was still pretty good. Xinghua was picky, "Okay, please stop talking. My sister-in-law cooks very hard."
However, his words also acquiesced to Zhang Xinghua's words.
Su Yuewei's original good mood was instantly compromised.
