Chapter 478: A Hundred Dishes to Cook - The Mysterious Visitor
Chuan Chuan Xiang, the name is good and catchy. As soon as I heard it, I had the urge to eat a few Chuan Chuan Xiang. When Li Misu, Tang Ren and Fei Tiaoliu heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "We just announced it to everyone. The name is so good."
Those who take it will get one hundred strings as reward. Thank you sir for your talent. I wrote on the board that our shop owes you eighty strings of incense. You are welcome to come and pick it up at any time. May I ask your name?"
"Alas, I have come to this stage and insulted my ancestors. How can I have the nerve to mention my sister's name again?" He shook his head and said with a lonely look on his face: "I don't want the remaining eighty strings." The gentleman joked, and Jiang Taigong was all excited.
When I have a bad fishing experience, since I don't want to tell my name, I write it down on the board as Anonymous, and you are welcome to come and pick it up at any time." Li Misu said as he wrote on charcoal that he owed Eighty Strings of Chuanchuan Incense to Anonymous.
As soon as they heard that they could take this back to their families as snacks, other people's minds were enlightened. My family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so when I went to the market to buy it, I couldn't just buy a few taels. I bought it by the kilogram, and I was worried about the money. Or this.
Okay, you can have as many as you want. The ones made are much more delicious than those cooked at home, and they are very convenient to hold. So, take three skewers for this one and five skewers for that one.
By half an hour, all the sticks of incense had been sold. At this time, another scholar dressed as a scholar came in, dropped his book bag and said to them: "Young man, you are being reasonable. I have thought of a wonderful name. Do you think it will be sweet?"
The skewers are called candied haws, and the salty and spicy ones are called vegetable haws. In the future, they will be as famous as the candied haws."
"Sorry, you're late. It already has a name." Zhao Kui bowed to him and said, "Thank you sir for your kindness. At this time tomorrow, please come to the shop and pick out twenty skewers as a thank you gift."
This time, they finally felt proud and picked up the face that had been thrown to the ground yesterday. The three of them sorted out the day's flow and excitedly reported to the three shopkeepers, with an income of thirty-two taels of silver, various costs of seventeen taels, and gross profit.
Fifteen taels. The gross profit of Fat Heart Restaurant is only about thirty taels. That is to say, right after it opened, the gross profit was close to half of that of Fat Heart Restaurant.
"We did not misjudge the people. They really have the Midas touch to turn stone into gold." Zhao Kui praised: "We want to do long-term business. We cannot suddenly drop the quality of the ingredients just because the customer status is low. Remember a jargon
, no matter what the status of the guest is, they are our food and clothing parents. They must not be treated lightly."
The three of them nodded in agreement and said, "The big shopkeeper taught me that, and the little one took note of it."
"By the way, one more thing. There will be some distinguished guests at Fat Heart Restaurant tomorrow. We plan to entertain them with your new dishes in the evening. You can prepare more high-end Chuan Chuan Xiang tomorrow. Prepare a clear soup as the base."
After that, Zhao Kui smiled mysteriously at Li Misu, making him shiver with laughter and said, "Tomorrow, please accompany the guests together."
Why did the shopkeeper smile at me so mysteriously and ask me to accompany the guests? He couldn't figure it out. After coming out of the room, Li Misu said to Tang Ren and Fei Tiaoliu: "Look, is there something strange about the shopkeeper's smile just now?
"
"No, the shopkeeper has always been so kind to us." Tang Ren shook his head and said, "What's more, we have just made a contribution. If he doesn't laugh, how can he cry?"
"But why are you asking me to accompany the guests?" he asked.
Fei Tiaoyu said, "The smile you just made was a little weird. Could it be that this distinguished guest is a relative of your family?"
Li Misu thought for a while, he had never had a rich or official relative, and replied: "That's impossible, I'm just a native of Xianju, and the richest among my relatives is my cousin, who owns three houses and seven acres."
The ground, but it’s out of reach.”
Tang Rendao: "Ignore him, we will find out tomorrow. I think the bottom of the pot will be made with the same Japanese seasoning that I used last time. I won't add spicy food. I'm just afraid that the distinguished guests won't be used to it. In addition, we have to prepare some high-end skewers."
Woolen cloth?"
"We don't know who the guests are and what their preferences are. The shopkeeper didn't tell me just now. How about we prepare some meat and vegetable balls of all kinds, such as chicken balls, pork balls, fish balls, flower balls, and tribute vegetables?
Balls, tofu balls, mushroom balls and so on." Li Misu thought for a while, then continued: "Some seafood just arrived at Fat Heart Restaurant, why don't we make some more cuttlefish balls, shrimp balls, crab meat balls, shark fin balls, etc.
Wait. Then we will see what the guests like and act accordingly. Prepare another Song Dynasty style dish at the bottom of the pot."
"Let's do it this way, follow the standards of marrying a wife." Tang Ren joked: "The two of us will help you, and we have to complete the task of the shopkeeper even if we don't sleep all night."
This is no joke. The business at the wharf has just started to get off to a good start, so it cannot be ignored. The reception of distinguished guests is the face of the shopkeeper, and cannot be ignored. The three of them started to get busy. While Li Misu was busy, he thought about who the guest was.
Why does the shopkeeper insist on asking me to accompany you?
After a busy night, the three of them finally prepared Chuan Chuan Xiang. The white ones are fish balls, the light yellow ones are pork balls, the golden ones are shrimp balls, and the crystal clear ones are bird's nest balls. They are neatly arranged in bunches.
They were placed neatly in a basin. On several other plates, pieces of food such as tofu, mushrooms, dried fragrant beans, radish, taro, etc. were skewered with bamboo skewers.
The three of them divided their work. Tang Ren and Fei Tiaoliang went to the Fat Heart Restaurant on the wharf, while Li Misu stayed at the Fat Heart Restaurant to prepare a soup base for roasting skewers.
He took a pound of mixed vegetable oil and lard, half a pound of bean paste, peppercorns, garlic cloves, old ginger, and some spices. The spices consisted of fennel, bay leaves, star anise, thyme, cumin, grass nuts, white cardamom,
It is formulated with amomum villosum, cinnamon, clove, allspice and kaempferol.
Heat the mixed oil until it is 60% hot, sauté the peppercorns, garlic cloves and ginger until fragrant, add water and salt, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, add the spices, and cook for an hour. After calculation, the guests will wait for half an hour.
You will arrive at the restaurant, start to add a few red dates and a few unshelled longans, cook another cup of tea, and add radish cubes. After a while, the radish cubes are cooked, and Zhao Wei and other three shopkeepers go out to greet the distinguished guests.
, leaving him in the room to prepare the dishes. After a while, two distinguished guests came in. When Li Misu saw them, he dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground with a clang. Is the distinguished guest they called you?
"Niannujiao, Chuanchuan and Life"
Vegetables, fish and meat, one stick at a time, regardless of whether they are meat or vegetable, high or low.
Sweet, sour, salty and spicy, mix it in one pot and cook it through fire and water.
Ten fragrances blend together, hundreds of flavors harmonize, and the water cooks together.
The skewers are fragrant, and the flavors are intertwined with each other.
Thinking about the various situations in the world, they are still clean and ugly when they are born, and they all appear on stage.
The loyal, the traitorous, the foolish and the virtuous are all in trouble, and it is difficult to tell whether they are tall, thin, fat or short.
On the stove of this world, cooking is like life, frying, roasting and frying.
Spicy and refreshing, it really resembles joys and sorrows.
It turned out that one of the distinguished guests mentioned by Zhao Kui and others was none other than his wife, Chef Li. The mystery was revealed and everyone laughed endlessly.
