Chapter 61: Chen's Tofu
Han Jingshan has been running the restaurant for many years.
The pricing of each dish is not determined by itself.
It depends on the market, and the grade of the restaurant.
Even if you taste the food in a five-star hotel, the price will not be so exaggerated, and besides, those expensive dishes are made with good ingredients.
You get what you pay for!
Can tofu be sold at the price of abalone and sea cucumber?
Joke!
If you really go on like this, you have to be laughed off by your peers.
In Han Jingshan's eyes, Chen Han is not opening a restaurant, but messing around. He must not be allowed to do so. It's no wonder that the restaurant doesn't go out of business.
"Chen Han, come here!" Han Jingshan blushed and threw the menu over, "Look at it yourself." ”
Chen Han opened the menu and glanced left and right a few times.
Han Jingshan reminded: "Look carefully. ”
"Oh. Chen Han looked through it again, looked up and down very carefully, and then asked, "Uncle Han, what's wrong?"
Han Jingshan stomped his feet anxiously: "You haven't noticed such a big thing, don't you think something is wrong?"
"The menu is a little scarce. Chen Han explained: "The main reason is that time is limited, and I can't find many suitable ingredients. New ones will be released in the future. ”
"It's just the dish, the price, the price!"
"The price is right. Chen Han suddenly realized, it turned out that Han Bo was worried about this matter, "Don't worry, I dare to set a price like this, there must be a reason for me." Speaking of this tofu alone, I went to several places to find it, and it tastes authentic. The food is definitely not bad, because it must be expensive to transport it from the mountains. ”
"Not to mention tofu, why do you have to pay eighty-eight servings of fried noodles and fried rice?" Han Jingshan said, "Even I think you are robbing money." ”
"Dad, I believe in Brother Xiao Chen. Han Muxue tugged at her father's sleeve, after all, when setting up a stall, someone was willing to spend more than 100 to buy a piece of fried noodles.
"Nonsense!"
Han Jingshan said, "The people who came here to eat either have a mine at home or have a bubble in their brains. ”
"Han Bo, I know your concerns. Chen Han poured him a glass of water to moisten his throat and patiently explained, "Do you remember the price at which my grandfather's table of wine and food was sold?"
"Remember, remember. Han Jingshan understood, it turned out that Chen Han, this kid, was looking at his grandfather. No wonder the name Candle House is still used.
At that time, the business of this small restaurant was quite brisk.
This kid has a heart.
Isn't what you just said a bit heavy?
Han Jingshan said calmly: "Xiaohan, you have to be down-to-earth, and you have to do everything according to your ability. I've already said what I need to say, and you can do it yourself. Since Chen Han couldn't be persuaded to do so, he could only wait for him to fall and then help him get up.
"Han Bo, you just wait and see. ”
"Well, okay. ”
"It's not a secret, this tofu is aimed at the Zhu's tofu of Yipin Kitchen. Grandpa lost a kitchen, and the chef was bought by the Zhu family and changed the surname of this dish to Zhu, but unfortunately the method is not very authentic. I'm declaring war on them. ”
"I see. Han Jingshan's goosebumps bulged all over his body, "Xiaohan, if you have a place to get your uncle, you can mention it." ”
"Good. ”
The flame of revenge burned in the eyes of the two.
Eleven a.m.
Most have dispersed.
There were several waves of passers-by, and some people asked about the main dishes in the restaurant.
After hearing that Chen is tofu, he immediately showed little interest. Vegetarian tofu, without meat, is delicious to blame.
A thin middle-aged man looked through the menu, and immediately said as if he was humiliated: "Black store, why don't you grab it." ”
"If you don't try it, you just say it's a black shop?" Chen Han replied angrily.
"I'm sorry. Han Muxue glared at Chen Han and said with a smile, "Sir, you can taste it first." Our dishes are definitely worth the price. ”
The middle-aged man sneered: "Put ginseng in it, or put the Tianshan Snow Lotus aside?"
"If you want to eat ginseng, you can buy it and add it to it. We do not offer it. Chen Han lazily turned on his mobile phone and said, "It's not dinner time yet, come over after half past eleven if you eat." ”
"I've never seen you do business, you're an uncle!" The thin man rushed out of the door in a huff, and his shoulder hit the man in Tang clothes who had just entered the door, and the two of them staggered.
"I'm sorry!" the thin man finished and walked away without looking back.
The man in Tang costume rubbed his shoulders, found a place to sit down, and said, "Reckless, it's not half past eleven, then I'll wait in the restaurant." ”
"You, you are Cai ......" Han Muxue's pupils dilated, and she grabbed Chen Han's arm, "Brother, let's see who's coming, it's that gourmet." ”
That's right.
The man in Tang costume who sat down in the store was Cai Shouqing.
According to the itinerary, he should have left Linhai, and the reason why he didn't leave was to taste the food in this restaurant.
After all, it's hard to say what kind of food can be made by a chef and a businessman who has no sense of taste.
Chen Han lazily rested half of his arm on the table, raised his chin at Cai Shouqing with a smile, and said, "You are here, you are the first customer, why don't I invite you?"
For this gourmet, Chen Han has a good impression.
Mr. Cai really likes food, and he is also sad about the shady scenes in the restaurant industry, and he really wants to change all this with his own strength.
That little misunderstanding is nothing in comparison.
"Can't you afford to eat? I'd like to see what other rare dishes you have in store. Cai Shouqing regarded Chen Han's invitation as a bribe, coldly refused, walked to the bar and opened the menu, his face was instantly wonderful.
"Mr. Cai, do you have any questions?" Han Muxue sneered, rubbing her little hands nervously.
"It's a big problem, and I'm curious to know what the Price Bureau thinks about this menu. Cai Shouqing tapped his fingers on the table, his tone full of indignation.
"I think I'll want to try something. Chen Han asked, "Then do you still eat it?"
"Eat, of course. Before I left Linhai City, I tried this Chen's tofu worth 168. ”
"Well, I won't let you down. ”
Chen Han returned to the kitchen.
I just chatted for a while, and the time was almost up.
Chen Han took out the southern tofu from the refrigerator, which is different from ordinary tofu, using gypsum instead of dew, vinegar water and sweet leaf juice.
The tofu made in this way is not only white in color and delicate in texture, but also softer and more tender.
"What is this, it looks like a nut?" Han Muxue looked curiously at the thing Chen Han was holding in his hand.
"It's the king of nuts, the cinnamon. It is difficult to plant trees, it is difficult to bear fruit, and it is difficult to make, so the price is very expensive. ”
"No wonder tofu is sold so expensive, is it all because of this fruit?"
"That's part of the reason. Chen Han crushed a citron seed with his hand and put it in a bowl, "It is not unusual for many people not to eat it, this kind of fruit only matures after seven or eight years, and the ones I found grow in the mountains, and the taste is very different from what I grow at home." ”
"I didn't see you for a few days, it turned out that I went up the mountain. ”
"Food is a gift from nature. Chen Han threw a slice of tofu to Han Muxue, "Look at this tofu, the people in the mountains make it themselves, using unpolluted spring water." The beans are also grown by my own family, and if I hadn't made several trips in a row, stayed there and cooked for them, proving that I was worthy of the tofu, I would not have been able to sell them to me. ”
Han Muxue pinched the tofu, and the texture was relatively hard.
But put it in your mouth and take a gentle bite to find that the water content is sufficient. The lips and teeth are full of bean fragrance, which is very fresh, as if you have come to the mountains, forests and fields.
"Hmm. ”
Han Muxue couldn't help but relax, closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while, before she reluctantly came back to her senses from the delicious feeling, "Brother, I haven't eaten such delicious tofu yet." You price 168, isn't it a little cheaper? ”
"Even you think so. Chen Han wiped the corners of her lips and said, "Okay, let's raise the price after a while." ”
"Hee-hee. Han Muxue said, "I still want to eat again." ”
"It's not productive, I'll make two portions later, and you can eat one portion. ”
"Hmm. Han Muxue nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking rice, and said happily, "I'll peel the onion and give you a hand." ”
The two talked and laughed, busy in the kitchen.
Two different methods of Dongpo tofu have been recorded in the "Shanjia Qing Offering", but unfortunately the exact amount of condiments is not marked.
Chen's tofu was improved by Chen Mingsong based on Dongpo tofu, because of this dish, he experimented for half a month, and finally found the most perfect method.
For this dish, you should make scallion oil first, turn the oil to low heat and put the green onion section on low heat, wait for the fragrance to be completely fried, and pour the scallion oil into a bowl for later use.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Han Muxue watched Chen Han put the tofu into the pot and was hungry again.
This dish is divided into several steps.
The most important thing is to boil the fragrant quince in wine, and then pour the fried tofu cubes into the pot.
Gollum......
The pot is bubbling with water, and the tofu absorbs the aroma completely.
Han Muxue leaned forward, smelled the fragrance, and kept asking, "Is it good, is it good?"
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't you know?" Chen Han smiled and rubbed her head again.
Finally, a portion of Chen's tofu came out of the pot, and finally drizzled with chives, Cui Yanyan was very tempting.
"I'll send it to the guests first. Han Muxue took the plate.
"No! the first one is yours. I'll send it to the guest. Chen Han's eyes were full of pampering.
"Then I'll eat it first...... Wow quack. The pretty little girl laughed out loud with a pig cry.
Chen Han couldn't help laughing, put Chen's tofu on the table, took chopsticks and handed them to Cai Shouqing, "This is your tofu, eat it slowly." After saying that, I thought this sentence was weird.
"Thanks, thanks. Cai Shouqing grabbed the chopsticks, his palms were sweaty.
Saliva is constantly secreted in the mouth.
This fragrance, with a hint of sweetness, is very rich, which is the taste of his dreams.
Cai Shouqing suppressed the excitement in his heart.
As a foodie, he has seen many dishes that smell good and taste like chewing wax.
He slowly picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth.
This...... The irresistible fragrance, hot, hot.
Cai Shouqing covered his mouth and leaned back his neck.
It's so delicious, what are you afraid of if it's hot, and it must not be wasted.
