After the two parties agreed, with the help of Yang Li, the money and land deed were handed over in person, and they also went to the Yamen to go through the transfer procedures. From then on, this house became Wang Can's.
The original teahouse in Zhaizi Shop belonged to the original owner. During the sale this time, it was also sold to Wang Can, but all the staff were removed, leaving only an empty teahouse.
Wang Can did not renovate the tea shop for the time being, but returned to the Wang residence.
Li You said: "Brother, we have found this shop. What should we do next?"
Wang Can said: "Since it is a restaurant, it is natural to prepare the corresponding restaurants. Next, there is the renovation of tables, chairs, benches, kitchen, etc."
Li You said: "That's no problem. We have craftsmen in our house who specialize in doing these things."
Wang Can drew all the corresponding plans.
Leave everything to Li You and let Li You make arrangements.
After doing all this, Wang Can was temporarily free, but when it came to cooking, he had to train a head chef to be responsible for all aspects of cooking.
Wang Can is here to enjoy.
He can't always cook by himself.
At most, Wang Can would just start the demonstration and leave the follow-up arrangements to the cook. He and Li You were busy on their own. Li You went to arrange tables, chairs, benches, and other renovation matters, while Wang Can stayed in the room.
, began to write recipes specifically, and how to make various dishes.
This is for the future head chef.
At first, Wang Can can take it with him, but later on, he will have to let the chef of the house study the dishes by himself.
After a busy night, Wang Can came up with ninety dishes. There are different dishes for fish, different dishes for tofu, and different dishes for bamboo. In short, each dish has a different method. After a series of methods,
All kinds.
Especially chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc. are included.
The dishes are very complete.
This is the result of Wang Can being busy until late at night.
Early the next morning, Wang Can got up and washed up, and had breakfast with Li You. The two of them left the mansion and went to the blacksmith shop. When they arrived, the iron pot had been made and was extremely well-made.
, after all, it cost a lot of money.
Wang Can asked the people at the blacksmith shop to put the iron pot in the carriage and asked the groom to send the iron pot back first. Wang Can and Li You went to the vegetable market.
Li You said: "Brother, are you going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables?"
"yes!"
Wang Can answered with a smile.
Nowadays, making stir-fries requires all kinds of vegetables. Especially although there are some vegetables and some meat in the house, they may not be suitable. Wang Can needs to make them himself.
After Wang Can entered the place selling vegetables, he picked some long sword tofu and beef. Today's cattle are extremely important. The government prohibits the killing of cattle, so they mainly eat mutton.
And this beef can only be beef that one dies of illness or old age. Even so, it is very expensive.
Wang Can bought beef, tofu, some other vegetarian dishes, and some fresh ginger that was in season, so he and Li You walked back. After returning to Wang's house, Wang Can boiled the pot with oil and brought the beef.
, and took some dried bamboo shoots from the house, and used a wok to fry the bamboo shoots and roast beef.
In this era, there is a lack of bean paste, but there is a sauce made from dogwood to enhance the spiciness. Especially when Wang Can braised beef, he also added star anise, bay leaves, tangerine peel, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic and many other spices.
There is also soy sauce color.
The roasted beef with whole bamboo shoots is red in color, very tempting, and exudes a tempting fragrance. But now, it is not available for the time being, so Wang Can transferred the fried beef with seasonings to the iron
Bring to a simmer over low heat in the pot and simmer slowly.
This takes long enough.
Otherwise, the beef will be quite stringy and difficult to swallow.
The beef was already being made, so Wang Can ignored it for the time being and started making Mapo Tofu. While Wang Can was making it, the cook at the house was working on it and preparing to learn how to make it.
Because all future production will be done by the chef, it is impossible for Wang Can to do it himself.
Making Mapo Tofu is relatively simple.
But the taste of Mapo Tofu is extremely delicious.
When it was made, Li You stood aside, unable to restrain his inner anticipation. He picked up the chopsticks and suffered a loss of a piece of tofu. After eating this piece of tofu, Li You was shocked.
too delicious!
So delicious!
Tofu is a household item, and she eats it often.
But now that I'm eating it, I feel it tastes great. I've never tasted such delicious tofu. At this time, the aroma of the beef has already come out of the pot, which makes people's mouths tingle.
At this time, Wang Can had roughly demonstrated how to use the wok.
Wang Can next made egg fried rice.
This is an extremely simple yet technically demanding delicacy. However, Wang Can is very comfortable in making it. It is very simple. After frying the rice last night, the flavor of the egg fried rice was completely permeated.
.
Wang Can just regrets that there is no chopped green onion.
If there are chopped green onions, the taste will be even better.
At least the taste needs to be upgraded to another level.
But even so, after Li You and the chef tasted it, they were both so happy that their tongues almost melted, because the egg fried rice cooked by Wang Can was also extremely delicious.
After Li You ate a small bowl, he said: "Brother, this egg fried rice and mapo tofu are really amazing. I didn't expect that my brother is so proficient in cooking."
Wang Can said: "It's just a small skill, not worth mentioning."
These are the simplest techniques.
It is the foundation of a chef.
The cook's name is Su Jing, a son of the Li family. He has been cooking for the Li family all his life. When Wang Can and Li You came to Chang'an, Su Jing followed them. He is also quite outstanding in cooking.
In particular, Su Jing's roasted whole lamb is a masterpiece. Most people can't make Su Jing's taste.
Su Jing is quite proud of her cooking skills.
But he didn't expect that a scholar like Wang Can could be so good at cooking.
This is too awesome.
Su Jing ate egg fried rice and mapo tofu, feeling that these things should only be found in heaven. He looked at Wang Can and said, "Sir, can I learn to make these two dishes next?"
He is not as good as Wang Can, so he takes the initiative to learn.
Although there is a suspicion of stealing from his master.
But this method of making dishes fascinated Su Jing, so even though Su Jing was a thin-skinned man, he proposed it and wanted to give it a try.
Wang Can said: "You have to make these. The reason why I called you here is to let you learn."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Su Jing hurriedly thanked him.
You know, once you learn it, it is a lifelong skill. You can even pass it on and let your son learn from it.
So Su Jing was very excited.
Wang Can asked: "By the way, do you know the characters?"
Su Jing said: "Sir, I still know most of the characters. Although I don't have much knowledge, I still know the characters."
He is a son of the Li family. In the early years of Li Zongyue's father's generation, Su Jing was a member of the family. He also learned some words in the family, so he could read and write.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Just be literate!"
As he spoke, Wang Can turned around and entered the room, took out his menu, handed it to Su Jing's hand, and said: "This is a special recipe for cooking. There are nearly a hundred dishes in it. You can learn these slowly and you will be able to cook them all."
You have to learn it. From now on, you will not only be responsible for the dishes in the house, but also teach your disciples how to prepare the dishes so that the restaurant can open up."
Su Jing heard this and took it over cautiously.
He was even more excited inside.
Su Jing flipped through it briefly and was completely shocked, because every dish and the production process were clearly written, and there was no omission.
"thump!"
Su Jing knew the importance of this book.
He knelt down directly.
Kowtow to the ground.
Wang Can said: "Su Jing, what are you doing?"
Su Jing said: "Young Master's great kindness, Su Jing has nothing to repay. From now on, I, Su Jing, will only obey Young Master's orders. Young Master's great kindness, Su Jing will never forget it forever."
Wang Can said: "It doesn't have to be like this. If you do your job well, study every dish properly, and improve your cooking skills, then I will be satisfied."
Su Jing said: "I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the young master."
He was extremely excited.
Li You was on the side, looking at this scene, very surprised. She stepped forward and took the menu list. After looking at it quickly, her face also showed a look of surprise and endless anticipation.
There are so many delicacies. If we could make them one by one, the restaurant would definitely be popular in Chang'an. It would even be popular all over the world. That is not impossible.
At this moment, Li You completely believed in Wang Can.
It is not difficult to revitalize a restaurant.
Wang Can smiled and said: "If you want to thank me and appreciate me, then practicing your cooking skills is the greatest reward for me. Okay, let's put the wok in my yard for now. You can finish reading all the dishes first.
Then practice and practice again.”
"yes!"
Su Jing nodded and answered.
He turned around and went down.
Li You was quite full now. After all, he had eaten tofu and egg fried rice. Even though the braised beef was not out of the pot for the time being, he still couldn't eat anymore.
Wang Can said: "You'er, after tasting this food, do you think there is still a chance of winning the bet between you and me?"
Li You was helpless when he heard this.
Even more shy.
In her bet with Wang Can, she didn't even have the slightest chance of winning.
Wang Can said: "You have no chance of winning now. Just admit defeat and change your mind."
Li You lowered his head after hearing this.
She is shy inside.
"Husband!"
Li You's voice was very low and he shouted.
Wang Can clearly heard it and heard it very clearly, but he said: "You'er, what are you shouting? I didn't hear it clearly just now. Please shout again."
He stared at Li You with a smile.
His eyes were very sharp, as if he could see directly into Li You's heart.
