"Is this boiled fish?" The escort's eyes lit up, and he thought it was really good even before he even moved his chopsticks.
I have never seen this dish before.
I picked up the fish fillet with my chopsticks and put it into my mouth. It was tender! So tender!
Tender and smooth, with an indescribable taste.
Savoring the taste again, it is spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter. After swallowing it, I feel comfortable all over my body.
"Good taste!"
"tasty!"
Several escorts were immediately immersed in the seriousness of eating fish, and did not even bother to present the food.
When they came to their senses, they had already eaten all the pot of boiled fish, not even the tofu in it was left.
The escort leader reacted and was a little embarrassed. The way they looked just now looked like they hadn't eaten for several days. It really didn't look good.
He raised his head and saw that Du Chuanfu was greeting a few people who had just come in. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he couldn't help but interject: "Brother, how do you make this boiled fish? It's so delicious!"
Of course, cooking is something that should not be discussed with outsiders. Du Chuanfu just smiled and said, "It is our honor at Songshan Inn that our guest likes it."
The escort didn't ask much. At this moment, the new roasted chicken with taro and a plate of twice-cooked pork were served. The escort filled a large bowl of rice and continued to taste the new dishes.
When the new guest heard about the boiled fish, he immediately ordered one, "This boiled fish is delicious? Then I want to try it too? It's Miss Song who cooks it, right? We often rest in her tea shed."
, I heard that she was going to open an inn, so I have been waiting for it, but I just happened to see it open today when I was passing by!"
"These dishes all sounded novel, and I knew that Miss Song was indeed different. We had steamed buns as the main dish, and spicy chicken as well. I like spicy food, so this sounds like it should be spicy, right? And Mapo Tofu, too.
One crucian carp tofu soup and one vegetarian stir-fried sweet potato shreds, that’s enough for the four of us, let’s just serve them like this.”
Du Chuanfu was very familiar with what this man said. When he came in, he asked the host first. Knowing that he was a regular customer who had previously opened a tea shack, he hurriedly responded, "Okay, please wait a moment, the guests. The food will be here soon."
The kitchen was very busy as two tables of people came and went. Zhang Lihua and Aling were the two waiters serving food and tea. Even Mrs. Chen was running behind them, too, and they were very busy.
Here, Song Qiu had finished serving the food on the escort's table, and had just finished serving the second table. Just as he was taking a sip of water, another customer came in from outside.
It turned out to be none other than Song Qiu's inn, who came here to congratulate them after hearing that Song Qiu's inn had opened today. Song Wenzhi and his wife brought their two children, and they were also shopping for Fan Jin with an old acquaintance, the Fan family, who stopped by.
Song Qiu was overjoyed to see him, and came over to greet him personally, and seated several people at a round table in the back.
"I heard that Xiaomei's Inn is opening today, so we came here to congratulate you." Song Wenzhi smiled and handed over a red box.
Song Qiu smiled and said, "Brother is interested. I'm really happy that you and sister-in-law can come."
Fan Jin on the side took over and said, "I'm here uninvited. Will Miss Song welcome me?"
Song Qiu looked over and said, "Of course, Mr. Fan is my big customer and takes good care of me. I'm naturally happy that you can come."
Fan Jin smiled and also sent a congratulatory gift.
After chatting for a while, several people came in from outside.
"There's actually an inn at this location. It's really convenient for those of us who are on the road. What does the innkeeper have to offer? Come get it for us. We're in a hurry!"
Song Qiu hurriedly confessed to Song Wenzhi and several others and asked them to drink tea first.
The inn was doing well, and Song Wenzhi and the others were happy for her, so they didn't mind and just let Song Qiu go about his business without having to see them outside.
Song Qiu returned to the kitchen, and while waiting for the dishes to be ordered, he planned to serve some snacks to Song Wenzhi and the others.
Guessing that they would come today, she made preparations earlier. Steamed pumpkin puree and glutinous rice flour, steamed a pumpkin glutinous rice cake, and fried a sesame ball with glutinous rice flour.
I had prepared the ingredients a long time ago, but it was quick now. The sesame balls were put out, and the dishes were just brought in.
While she was preparing the dishes, she asked Mrs. Wang to look at what was steaming in the pot over there, and then put it on a plate and send it out.
After frying some of the dishes on the table, they started preparing meals for Song Wenzhi and the others.
When people want to say congratulations, they naturally want to serve food.
But before it started, there was another table of people outside, who ordered a table of dishes and came in.
Song Qiu had to do some work first, and then asked Lao Yuan to go out to help entertain Song Wenzhi and several others and talk with them.
When the dishes for this table were finally cooked, it was almost past noon. A total of four tables of people had been served today. Song Qiu looked at the remaining ingredients and found that there were not many left.
I never thought that it would be pretty good on the first day of opening.
The people who came in here all came in groups, probably like the two or two passers-by at the tea shed, who didn't come in when they saw it was an inn.
Song Qiu thought that maybe he could open the tea shed outside. The tea sheds on the left and right sides were still there. If people didn't want to come in to eat, it would be nice to have hot tea to drink.
Since it is a service stack, of course it must provide services to every passerby.
After looking at the remaining ingredients, there was still one crucian carp and one portion of boiled fish. Song Qiu started to make a crucian carp and tofu soup, a boiled fish, a stewed winter melon meatball, a taro roasted chicken, and a
Hot and sour mountain mushrooms, a pumpkin soup, a braised pork dish, and a vegetarian fried sweet potato shreds.
Except for the crucian carp soup and boiled fish, there is nothing much that can be done, and the other portions have been made enough. Everyone can have lunch together later to avoid having to work again.
The dishes are ready and served.
The boiled fish and crucian carp tofu soup were naturally served at Song Wenzhi's table, and the others divided them into two portions for two tables.
Outside, only the last table was still eating. The people in front of them had paid their bills and rested before going on their way. The Wang family and Chen family were busy clearing away the tables.
Song Qiu told them to stop being busy and finish their meal first. There were so many bowls and chopsticks, but they had to be washed easily.
Song Qiu and Lao Yuan sat at one table with Song Wenzhi and the other five, and called Yuan Hua to accompany them, while the others sat at another table.
There is a lot of rice left, so everyone can eat as much as they like, Song Qiu doesn't treat others badly.
This catering person who is so busy that his feet never touch the ground is already the most tired.
Yuan Hua was an outgoing person who was good at talking. He drank with Fan Jin who wanted to drink. After a while, he started chatting and entertained Fan Jin happily.
Fan Jin was originally curious about the chili pepper on the boiled fish, but he didn't care about it for the time being while drinking.
Song Qiu just focused on greeting Mrs. Shen and the two children.
There are a lot of dishes on the table. Not to mention other dishes, Song Wenzhi and others tasted it, and they are still familiar with it. I don’t know how to cook the red and oily boiled fish and the roasted chicken with taro. They are so special.
It's boiled fish. The spicy and fragrant taste, the crispy red pepper knots, and the bright red soup base are really something I've never seen before.
A few people living in the town have had little contact with them since they were young. They know what green peppers look like, thanks to regular grocery shopping, but they have never seen red peppers, let alone dried red peppers.
Already.
Song Wenzhi asked out of curiosity, so he asked.
Song Qiu listened and pursed her lips and smiled. Not to mention them, she also heard a few words from the tables in front of her in the kitchen, and they were all curious about the boiled fish with red pepper and red soup.
This is the power of her doubanjiang, its exclusive recipe.
"This is what red peppers are made of after the green peppers are fully cooked."
