Werther didn't pay attention to the content of their quarrel. He just thought about the fact that these taverns named Chalik used to be overcrowded, but now the business suddenly deteriorated. I wonder if the long-time workers would think that these are related to magic. Even if they suspected this,
, I won’t reveal even a word.
He was thinking of ways to improve the tavern business.
Nowadays, the food that taverns need must taste good and give people a refreshing feeling. By the way, I can use dishes that I have eaten before time travel! For example, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried lamb with green onions, Mapo tofu... From these dishes
Whatever you take out of the restaurant can make people in this world full of praise. If you have these dishes, even if the tavern will not be restored to its original state, it will at least be able to make some money.
Although this idea was a good one, Werther was still not happy. He lamented in his heart that although he knew these dishes and could cook a little, the food he cooked was not delicious at all. If the dishes he cooked were sold in a tavern,
Then the situation in the tavern will become even worse than it is now.
After thinking about it, I am not familiar with cooking at the moment, and the chefs in the tavern must not know how to stir-fry. It is better to explore and practice with the long-term workers to make better-tasting stir-fry.
At this time, the chef and the bartender in yellow clothes were still arguing.
"If you want to leave here, go quickly!" The chef folded his hands on his chest, his face was unhappy and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that he was already very dissatisfied with the bartender.
"I'm leaving now, but I'm not willing to do so. I want to take you with me!" The bartender pulled his sleeves tightly, puffing his mouth, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"I still have to cook food in the tavern, how can I leave." The chef turned sideways and closed his eyes.
"Your cooking skills are mediocre, there's no point staying here!" The bartender threw off his sleeves and shouted loudly, "Besides, there are no customers now, so you don't need to stay at all!"
Werther looked at the two people with angry faces, stood between them quickly, covered his ears with his hands, and said loudly: "Stop arguing! I urgently need your help now!"
When they saw him doing this, they quickly stopped quarreling and looked at Werther motionless.
"I wonder if you know how to cook?" Werther asked this question.
Several long-term workers looked at each other, then looked at Witte in unison, and shook their heads. The chef in blue clothes asked: "Your Highness, is stir-frying a certain cooking method?"
"That's right, it's a way of making food." Werther looked at him and said, "Since you said that, it means you don't know how to cook. But it doesn't matter. You are chefs. It's easy to learn how to cook."
"Then what exactly is stir-fry?" the chef then asked.
"Well." Witte touched his chin with his hand and thought for a while with his eyes closed. "First put oil in the pot, then put in the chopped food, use a shovel to turn the food over and over in the pot and fry for a while.
You can add some seasonings, and it’s probably a stir-fry. Do you understand what I mean?”
The two chefs said in unison: "I understand the process you said, but we have never done this before."
Witte clapped his hands together happily and said with a smile: "Now that you understand, that's great. No one has seen this style of food in Notland. If our tavern can make such a dish
, it will definitely make business better.”
The two chefs looked at each other, then looked at Witte and nodded.
"I can write down several combinations of ingredients on paper. You follow the steps I just mentioned to stir-fry, and I will work with you. However, the amount of each ingredient, how to stir-fry and what other ingredients need to be added
we touch
So."
"Your Highness, this is a good idea. Why don't we try it now?"
The bartender asked: "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Witte thought for a while and said: "Since we all have nothing to do now, why not come and study stir-fry? As long as one of us makes a delicious stir-fry, this tavern will be saved."
"Okay, Your Highness!" The bartender saw that the tavern had hope, and his mood suddenly improved.
At this time, Werther looked back and met the eyes of the two long-term workers sitting at the door: "You guys should come and help too."
"Yes, Your Highness!" the two long-term workers said happily.
"Well, take me to the kitchen now. We can definitely make delicious stir-fries." Witte's eyes were bright at the moment and he was full of energy.
When he got to the kitchen, he found that besides several ovens, there were only two frying pans and an iron pot for cooking.
"These pots should be usable, just be careful when using them." He said, "Give me the banknotes now, and I will write down three categories of ingredients. We will be divided into three groups and use these pots to cook.
, try to make a decent dish today."
A long-term worker found paper and pen and put them in front of him. He looked around and looked at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen. There were celery, eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage and lettuce, but there was no meat.
"Well, why is there no meat here?" Werther asked curiously.
"Your Highness, the meat has just been used up. It happened that we didn't buy it." A long-term worker smiled sheepishly.
"It doesn't matter if there's no meat. Let's cook with these vegetables first."
Werther wrote fried eggplant and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the paper. Then he looked at the iron pot used for cooking and felt that he should write down another dish suitable for cooking in the pot, so he wrote potato stewed lettuce.
He listed the ingredients needed for each dish. Since he was not good at cooking, he only knew roughly. He knew what might be missing from the ingredients he listed, but now he couldn't write it down completely. He could only rely on everyone to study together.
Come find the most delicious dishes you can make.
He and the bartender were in the same team, and the other two chefs were in the same team as the two long-term workers who did the chores, and they cooked these dishes respectively. Werther did most of the steps with the two chefs, and the two long-term workers and the bartenders
Help them. During this period, the supervisors who do the chores will take turns waiting for the arrival of the guests at the door.
About an hour later, there were still no guests. Tasks in the kitchen were also going on.
Werther finally fried the eggplant. He put the fried eggplant on the plate. It smelled good, but after tasting it, he felt dissatisfied.
"This kind of food can't keep customers at all." He put the plate on the table in frustration.
The bartender tasted it and said, "What a special taste!"
Werther raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is this dish delicious?"
"No, the taste you made cannot be said to be delicious." The bartender took another piece of eggplant with a fork and put it into his mouth to taste it carefully. After swallowing, he said, "It feels a bit hard to chew, there is no moisture, and it feels dry.
It looks like this, but the taste is very novel.”
"That's it!" Werther said in surprise, "In that case, just work hard to make the food taste good."
At this time, the tomato scrambled eggs and potato stewed lettuce are also ready.
Werther tasted these two dishes and felt that the texture was much better than what he had cooked, but the taste was not very good.
"The taste of these two dishes is quite good. You are indeed an experienced chef. Each piece of tomato and egg is very big."
The size and shape are exactly the same, and the potatoes and lettuce are also cut very neatly, which proves that the knife skills are excellent. The heat is also just right, which does not cause the ingredients to lose moisture, but also makes the ingredients thoroughly cooked, making them extremely soft to bite."
Werther was full of praise for both dishes.
The two chefs were very happy after hearing this and said in unison: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
"But~" Werther continued, "these tastes not good enough, the tomatoes and eggs are too salty, and the potato stewed lettuce tastes too bland. Some seasonings need to be added to make them delicious."
"Yes, Your Highness. We will keep trying."
"Your Highness, I thought about it," said a long-term worker. "Now that the chefs are familiar with the process, why don't we two long-term workers go to the door and wait for the guests."
The bartender also said: "Your Highness, I'm going to make some delicious drinks too."
"Well, this is the best." Werther smiled, and then he suggested to the two chefs, "Now I know what we are good at. You are good at knife skills and stir-frying, and I am good at adding seasonings. How about that?
How about we just divide the work like this?”
"Your Highness's suggestion is very good." The chefs agreed.
Following the method suggested by Witte, they worked in this small kitchen for four full hours, and were exhausted and sweating profusely. Finally, they made some progress in the dishes they made.
Fried eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed potatoes and lettuce, every dish is fragrant and looks very attractive.
Werther couldn't help but be touched when he saw these long-lost dishes. He smiled and said: "Let's start tasting."
So the three people tasted these dishes respectively, and they all said in unison: "It's really delicious!"
They called other people in the tavern over and let them taste these dishes. Everyone was full of praise.
"Your Highness, I never thought that these ordinary ingredients could be made so delicious."
"It's my first time to eat such delicious food. I'm so happy."
Witte happily held the plate and said with a smile: "Next, you can continue to make these dishes and sell them to the guests. I believe the guests will like them. Also, after you buy the meat, you will also
You can add it appropriately to these dishes, stir-fry or boil them together, and find the most delicious method."
"We understand, Your Highness."
"It's already past five o'clock. You bring these dishes to the door and let passers-by see them. This way they will be curious. If they are interested, they will definitely come in to eat."
Two long-term workers put the plates on the trays and carried them to the door.
As expected by Werther, several passers-by soon stopped and looked at the dishes curiously.
"Excuse me, what kind of food is this and why is it so strange?" a passerby couldn't help but ask.
The long-term worker hurriedly explained: "This is a new food in our Charlie's Tavern. It tastes quite good. You might as well try it."
After several passers-by tasted it, they all looked surprised and asked how much the food cost.
At this time, the long-term worker came over and asked: "Your Highness, how much does this food cost?"
Witte thought for a while and said: "These raw materials are not expensive, it is better to sell them for two copper coins per plate."
Changgong told the passers-by the price, and they walked in one after another, sat down at their seats and started ordering.
Soon, there were more and more guests, until half the seats were filled.
Seeing these guests, Werther finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this method really worked, and the hard work in the morning and afternoon was not in vain.
