In the final analysis, ordinary restaurants still have dishes. In order to make Chuanfu an instant hit, Chen Ke put a lot of thought into it. In addition to ensuring that the ingredients are fresh and of high quality, he also carefully arranged the menu... In addition to fried liver tips, stir-fried green vegetables and other home-style stir-fries
In addition, some classic dishes are needed to support the scene.[]
In Sichuan, Sichuan cuisine is naturally the main dish. Although we can’t get chili peppers, this is not a problem. Chili peppers were only introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty. Did Sichuan people not eat spicy food before that?
Obviously not. Sichuan's perennially humid geographical environment gave the Shu people an instinctive craving for spicy food. In the long years before pepper entered Sichuan cuisine, the Shu people relied on the three spicy seasonings of "Sanxiang" to satisfy their appetite.
Craving for spicy food. The so-called "three spices" are pepper, ginger and dogwood. Among them, dogwood is the main spice.
In the past two months, in order to understand the taste of Shu people, Chen Ke used his precious free time to taste all the restaurants and restaurants in Qingshen County... It was for research needs, definitely not for greed, he kept telling Liulang this way. Discovering Shu
People's favorite fish bream, meat soup, and noodles are all made of bright red oil, which tastes spicy and spicy, and is not much different from the red oil made from chili peppers in later generations.
He found that there were indeed strings of red beads hanging at the door of many kitchens. After asking, he learned that they were dogwood. Although they were not chili peppers, they still played the role of spiciness.
Since then, he has been studying Cornus officinalis and found that it can be used for stewing, but when used for stir-frying, it has a spicy and bitter taste, which is not a good product. However, the Shu people pounded and filtered it to extract the juice, and after some processing
, made into bright red chili oil, the bitterness is removed, and the spiciness is more pure and rich than chili oil.
This discovery made Chen Ke breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not have dared to let Chuanfu Cai open the business after just two months of learning... It is very difficult to become a master of Sichuan cuisine, but there is a quick way, and the secret is to use spices to hide the clumsiness!
Sure enough, since Chen Ke used a secret method to brew red oil, the popularity of Chuanfu's dishes has skyrocketed. In fact, it's just an extra spoonful of red oil.
And later generations have also misunderstood Sichuan cuisine. In fact, the soul of Sichuan cuisine is not chili peppers, let alone red oil, but Pixian douban and the unique usage of ginger and garlic. In this way, many people may not understand, but just think about the four aspects of Sichuan cuisine.
Special dishes - Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, Fish-flavored Shredded Pork, Twice-cooked Pork. The most classic recipes are all made without adding chili pepper, so you can understand.
The use of spicy food makes Sichuan cuisine bright and hot, but it also obscures its pure flavor. Now, due to limited conditions, Chen Ke had to reduce the use of spicy food, but he succeeded in restoring the original appearance of Sichuan cuisine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke's hard work was not in vain. Although Shu people and Sichuan people met hundreds of years ago, they fell in love at first sight, just like the thunder that struck the earth that day...
The spicy, fresh, tender and crispy Mapo Tofu, just like the hot Sichuan girl, makes people's blood boil, even if they die, they will not complain...
The fresh and tender Kung Pao Chicken with the scent of lychee is just like Xiaojia’s jasper, which makes people iron it all over and cannot put it down...
The salty, sweet, sour, and delicious fish-flavored shredded pork, just like the considerate and ever-changing Gou Lan Hua Niang, gives you everything you want, making you unable to stop...
The bright red color, fat but not greasy twice-cooked pork is just like that charming mature woman, it looks seductive, and you will be ecstatic after eating it...
"It's so delicious!" The diners couldn't help shouting while feasting: "Oh my god, how can there be such delicious food in the world!"
"Ugh, what should I do if I can't eat anymore?" Someone actually shed tears while eating: "Someone will be lovesick..."
"As for..." Boss Lu curled his lips and said unconvinced: "It's just a few bad dishes, don't you think..."
But his bunch of idle men didn't bother to talk to each other. When every second counts, if they say more words, they will eat less of the food. They all move their chopsticks as fast as they can, and fierce fighting will inevitably happen:
"this is mine!"
"mine!"
"Get out of here, or I'll beat you up!"
"Who is afraid of whom! Wait until I finish eating this piece of meat..."
Seeing that his men were showing no promise, Boss Lu sighed heavily. Seeing someone stretching his chopsticks in front of him, he angrily stretched out his hand to protect him and said, "Don't grab it, don't grab it, this plate is mine!"
In the afternoon of that day, those people who were completely conquered by the delicious food on hunger strike came in droves with their friends and companions. Fortunately, Chen Ke had already made a plan and sent people to guard the door. He issued number plates to the diners who came after them and left the table before putting in a meal.
table.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the 100 number plates for that day were collected. The citizens who came later gave up and made noise in front of the store. Many people clamored and were willing to spend money to eat, but those who had received the number plates were not happy.
, yelled: "Don't we have any money? We just paid for this meal!"
There are also people who are willing to pay to buy the number plate in front of them. Most of them are rejected, but the highest bidder also gets it... Seeing that some people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy a number plate, some idle people will go to Laifumen every day in the future.
Queuing up to get the number plate and reselling it. Chen Ke's unintentional move actually gave birth to the earliest scalper gang. It can be seen that where there is demand, there is supply. Of course, this is a story later.
But the vast majority of people still didn't get their number plates, and the waiters advised them to come back tomorrow. But they were worried that it would still be the same tomorrow, so some people suggested that they should get tomorrow's number plates now.
The guys didn't dare to make the decision, so they quickly went in to ask for instructions. After a while, they came out and said to everyone: "Tomorrow it will be half price."
"Stop making noise and get your cards!" When everyone saw the diners walking out of the hotel, they were all ecstatic and admiring in every possible way. They seemed to be scratching their heads and wanted to go in and open their eyes. Many people asked:
"Second brother, I'll pay the full price, can you get it first?"
"The store is run with integrity." The waiter shook his head and said, "A promise worth a thousand dollars."
Everyone had no choice but to queue up to get their tickets. Many of them had just come out. Some people protested dissatisfiedly, which made them roll their eyes: "Have you eaten the last meal and not the next one?"
Within half an hour, the waiter had to stop issuing numbers: "Sorry, everyone, we have run out of numbers." He kept exclaiming in his heart: "There are a thousand numbers, and they have all been taken away!" He did it
I have been working as a waiter for ** years, but I have never seen such a scene.
Even if the cooking speed is fast, even if they only cook more than a hundred tables, Chen Ke and Chuan Fu will be busy until midnight. By this time, all the shops in the county have been closed for two hours.
Watching the last wave of diners leave with satisfaction, Chen Xiliang and Chen Chen, who came to help, already had backaches. Thinking that they had just come in the evening, they were so tired, so they hurried to the kitchen to find Saburo.
But when the door curtain was lifted, Chuanfu took him out, gently handed him to Chen Xiliang and said: "Master is so tired that he fell asleep..."
Chen Xiliang took over Saburo. When he was sleeping soundly, his handsome face was no longer cunning and mature. His eyelashes flickered slightly and his nose quivered, reminding people that he was still a ten-year-old child.
Chen Xiliang carried Sanlang on his back and said to Chuan Fu: "Can you be busy tomorrow?"
"Yes." Chuanfu knew that the master felt sorry for his son. He nodded heavily and said, "I have no experience on the first day. I am in a hurry. The work is too slow. There are too many people coming in. It will be fine tomorrow."
"Yeah." Chen Xiliang nodded and said, "I'll help you tomorrow."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overnight, the reputation of Laifu Hotel surpassed the other two and became the only one in the eyes of the people of Qingshen. Even the magistrate became a loyal diner after trying Chuanfu's craftsmanship... He originally wanted to He asked Laifu to deliver meals every day, but after hearing that cooking must be done while it's hot, as it would lose its color once it cooled down, he actually put on his casual clothes and went straight to Laifu after get off work every day to dine, and he didn't mind that the place was shabby.
Of course, there were also people-friendly officials in the Song Dynasty, whose hobbies were related to the enjoyment of the people, which was completely different from the county magistrates of later generations.
Soon, Laifu's name spread to neighboring states and counties, and people from other counties came here in droves. The number plates were received directly three months later. The number plates that could be used within three days were sold to more than 100%.
With the same amount of money, even in Chengdu, one can have a decent banquet in a high-end hotel, but in a small shop in this county, the price is only the entry price. This absurd story actually happened.
.
With the rise of Laifu, the business of Lu's Hotel has plummeted. People now feel that the dishes that were selling well in the past are tasteless. They would rather go to Laifu and queue up than eat the food that he has left behind.
After several days of psychological struggle, Boss Lu finally made up his mind and went to Laifu's house to apologize with pig heads, tea, silk, ginseng and other generous gifts. He was somewhat of a philistine shrewd man, knowing that he
Chuanfu was so offended that he came to see Chuanfu's wife... He knew that Chuanfu was a filial son, and as long as he could win over Chuanfu's wife, things would definitely turn around.
Originally, he had a good relationship with Chuanfu's father, and the two families were still friends. So after entering the door, he coaxed Chuanfu's mother to come over. When Chuanfu came back, my mother really persuaded him to help Boss Lu.
.
Seeing Boss Lu's flattering expression, Chuanfu sneered: "Why didn't you teach me when I asked you to do it?"
"I..." Boss Lu said in shame: "I am plotting your store, so I am obsessed with it." He clasped his fists and bowed and said: "Publish the wealth, you do well. I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child."
…”
"I also have a mother and children, why don't you pity me?" Chuanfu shook his head and said, "Go back, I won't teach you."
