Chapter 43: Menu

Second Uncle Li heard that he wanted to make pastries and ponds, but he had doubts, and only said: "I'm not that fine person, I can boil some soup and blanch some noodles, but I can't pinch these gadgets." After a pause, he frowned and looked at Zhong, and said, "We haven't done this, I'm afraid that there are not enough tools or anything, and I don't know if we can do it well." ”

Zhong scolded with a smile: "Then you can do rough work, we are just a few people, where will there be a lack of what you do? Tools will be on the ground first, and you can buy some if you don't succeed. As for worrying about whether the dim sum is good or not, this is what a big man like you who only cares about a full stomach doesn't understand, every family lacks such a little gadget during the New Year, and it really needs to be done well, better than what we did before. ”

Hongzhu said with a smile: "Second uncle, you are looking down on our second uncle, she has a lot of clever places on weekdays, what kind of radish cake and taro cake, what can't the second uncle do?"

"But no, I just thought you were a chef?" Zhong deliberately grabbed a sentence.

Second Uncle Li was teased by them one after another, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I know everything." ”

Zhong pulled the red bead with one hand, laughed for a while before sighing: "Actually, I don't need to mention it, with An Niang and the red bead here, I am a handsetter." Hongzhu, how do you think we should set this menu?"

Hongzhu was not modest either, she smiled and said her thoughts, "Second uncle, let's say that we have changed to a new food shop, but it is not completely different from the stall." We are a small shop, and we are also doing a neighborhood business, and the delicious and satisfying food is the most important. is like a stall, the second uncle's one-handed flour kung fu can't be put down, and it's still a big deal. She looked at Second Uncle Li and said with a smile: "Second Uncle, after all, I still have to look at you, and the old guest will recognize you when he comes over." ”

Second Uncle Li laughed, "Okay, I'm still a chef." ”

Hongzhu said again: "If there is a second uncle's steamed buns, they must also be steamed, and there will be more categories." We can only have five or six tables here, and if there are those who are impatient to sit, they just buy and leave. ”

Zhong Shi responded, "I know this, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sell it out for a while, and the types of buns were also small, but now I have to think about it and change the taste from time to time." ”

Cheng Wenhan smiled when he heard it and said, "Second uncle, your meat-filled mushrooms are delicious, but I still like to eat that bean paste, will you do it in the future?"

"Oh, Wen Han, why didn't you say this earlier, if you mentioned it, I would make a single cage for you!" Zhong smiled, and said: "Your second uncle is stupid, he likes to eat pickle stuffing made in the countryside before, and he still dislikes the meat given to him." ”

When Li Shi heard this, he remembered the situation in Xucheng when he was young, so he smiled and said: "I also love to eat that vegetarian dish, I remember that at that time, there were some fresh vegetables every season, and the family made a little to taste...... If it was just the vegetarian stuffing, I would remember a few things that were delicious to put together. ”

Second Uncle Li said: "Some things are delicious at home, and I can't forget that taste for decades." ”

Hongzhu interjected and said, "Then Cheng, it just so happens that we have a food shop, and the second uncle can make some food in the south, and let the people of Tong'an taste the flavor of Xucheng." Second uncle, this is called special, if the guest likes it, remember that our restaurant can eat the taste over there, and we will come back next time to find it. More and more people know this, and the 'Xingjia' food shop will really prosper. ”

When he said this, Second Uncle Li nodded again and again, with a happy smile on his face.

Hongzhu thought about it again and said, "As for the porridge and rice...... It is better to cook a pot of white porridge in the morning, with some side sauces, and then prepare a small pot. And this meal, we don't have a serious cooking master, Second Uncle Li can fry a few simple dishes, but this busy man is short of manpower, and he can't make a banquet, and he can't take the list and let the diners pick and choose. Our restaurant is not a restaurant, so it is really impossible to compare serious meals. I thought about it, why don't you choose a few dishes every day and make them early, then steam them on the side, and when the guests order the rice, they will be covered with a spoonful of rice under the sea bowl, which is hot and delicious, so that it will be quick and appropriate. ”

I hadn't cooked a serious meal at the stall before, and Zhong was actually worried that the food was too extravagant to get up. So now I was happy when I heard the red beads, and said with a smile: "Cheng, since it is a steamed dish, the taste is not bad on the left and right, even I can make a few things." ”

That's all the food in general, Hongzhu thought about it, and said: "In addition to these, there must be one or two delicate and chic signs, not too much every day, but they must be delicious." ”

Li Shi looked at her thoughtful appearance, and said with a smile: "Didn't you make dim sum before, since the market is used to welcome customers on the opening day, you have to put it on the market in the future, you can't just have it one or two days ago, and when the guests have eaten and turned back, but there is nothing, right? ”

If Hongzhu wants to think, she can really say a ** thing with one mouth. In fact, she is not very capable in modern times, but she can be regarded as a foodie. She is a southerner, she eats finely, she doesn't like those big meat and meat, but all kinds of omnivorous snacks, especially the Cantonese refreshments that she likes the most. In the past two years, she has been helping in the stall, and everyone praised her for her ingenuity and work, which was all eaten in her previous life.

Chicken feet with soy sauce, pork ribs with garlic, jade shrimp dumplings, pearl powder fruit boys, custard crystal buns, oyster barbecued pork buns, raw rolling fish fillet porridge, boat porridge, leek shrimp sausages and honey barbecued pork sausages, etc...... Hongzhu really regretted that she didn't eat more at that time. I remember that there was a time when she was a little free, and she took some effort to study a few things, and she was also a little talented in this area.

Hongzhu silently thought about the conditions in the restaurant now, and it seems that she can make some, but the taste and appearance are afraid that they are different. She pondered in her heart, this is to be able to cook, so she temporarily chose garlic pork ribs and tofu skin rolls. The first is that these two don't have to be made fresh, just prepare them for steaming in advance, and the second is that these two materials are also easy to get. A pork rib, at this time, people still like the pork belly and other oily and fatty, and the price of pork ribs is not too expensive. And the tofu rolls, every day to the tofu shop to ask for some tofu skin, the rest of the filling lean meat, sprouts, carrots, etc., are ordinary.

On second thought, you can also make a crystal shrimp dumpling when it is appropriate. There are two inland rivers near this Tong'an, and there is a big lake, red beads do not need any good materials, when there are fresh shrimp, use fresh shrimp, when there is no fish meat mixed with shrimp, the taste is almost done. There are also pork balls, and ginger and scallion beef shutters...... That's all, Hongzhu is still confident that it can be made delicious, thinking about Hongzhu, he opened his mouth one by one, and smiled apologetically, "I only have one idea, whether it is good or not, I don't know whether it is good or not." ”

In fact, there are some similar snacks at this time, but they are somewhat different from the ingredients and seasonings of red beads, so her proposal is not completely original, but it does not scare people.

Even the Li family didn't know that Hongzhu would do this, let alone make it taste, but she believed in her own daughter, and she didn't refute anything, only looked at Second Uncle Li and Zhong.

Zhong's expression was surprised and delighted, and he only praised it: "Look at what kind of mind this is, this hasn't been done yet, I feel tight when I hear it." Hongzhu, how can you think of these dim sum......" and said: "Li Er, you are not qualified as a chef, there is no match for Hongzhu?"

Cheng Wenhan said in a loud voice: "Sister, I want to eat!"

Hongzhu didn't think she was so articulate, only

Second Uncle Li immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay, why not, Hongzhu can do whatever he wants." It doesn't sound like a troublesome material, I bought it, and I bought it, and the guests didn't eat it for the New Year!"

After such discussion, the menu of Xingjia Restaurant was almost decided. And because the Chinese New Year only chose dim sum to do, Hongzhu put forward everything he could think of, some Zhong felt that it was okay, and some were not very easy to do, so he just said that the three of them would go to buy materials and prepare them.

After being busy for half an afternoon, the three members of the Cheng family were too tired to go back to Zhu's house.
