Chapter Thirty-Seven: Delicious Hemp
If you want to stir-fry, someone must help light the fire, Li Liang called Chen Tao, who was preparing rock sugar water with his brother Chen Ze, and helped him light the stove of the other stir-fry pot. Chen Tao also wanted to see what Li Liang was going to do with this bucket of packed crayfish.
After the fire was up, Li Liang poured about half a catty of vegetable oil into the pot. Chen Chunhua watched Li Liang pour so much oil on the side, shook his head and didn't speak, just treat it as a child. After Li Liang waited for the oil to smoke, pour in the chopped shallots, ginger and garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant, and then pour in the dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, half a bowl of bean paste and star anise and stir-fry together. After stir-frying the red oil, pour all the washed crayfish into the pot.
Fortunately, the iron pot in the restaurant is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to hold this bucket of crayfish. When the shrimp shell turned red, Li Liang poured in the white wine and continued to stir-fry, added salt, monosodium glutamate and other condiments, poured a basin of water into it, covered the pot, and let Chen Tao boil it over high heat. After the heat boils, turn to low heat and boil about two-thirds of the soup, pour in the chopped green onion and stir-fry it again, and then reduce the juice on high heat, and a delicious spicy crayfish is ready.
Li Liang filled a bowl of crayfish in a soup bowl, and Chen Tao couldn't wait to grab one and eat it: "Wow, it's so delicious! Brother Liang, it turns out that crayfish are so delicious!"
Chen Chunhua also fried a dish at this time, Zhang Meng came in and prepared to serve it to the guests, and saw Li Liang's fried crayfish, and Chen Tao on the side was eating happily. Is it really so delicious? Zhang Meng also grabbed one and ate it.
"It turns out that crayfish can also be made so delicious!" After eating one, Zhang Meng sighed, it seems that we can also add a new dish in the store in the future.
Chen Chunhua and Chen Li saw Zhang Meng and Chen Tao eating happily, and they each took a crayfish and ate it. Chen Chunhua is the head chef of the restaurant, and she used to have decades of experience in stir-frying at home, and while eating, she asked in surprise: "Liangzi, who did you learn this dish from, it is really delicious!"
Li Liang said with a smile: "I have nothing to think about, I used to love shrimp, but the grass shrimp is too expensive and the meat is less, I think there is a lot of crayfish meat, I don't know if it tastes good or not." ”
"It's delicious, it's just too oil-intensive!" Chen Li commented while eating. She saw Li Liang pour a lot of oil to fry this dish just now.
"Taotao, don't patronize yourself to eat, there is still a group of friends waiting outside!" Li Liang said with a smile as he watched Chen Tao eat one after another.
"Brother Liang, I'll bring them a pot after eating this one!" Chen Tao said with a puffed voice.
After Wang Chao and the other three teenagers outside the house tasted the delicious spicy crayfish, they were all conquered by this delicacy. Wang Chao said with emotion: "When I go home, I will definitely let my mother fry a pot of crayfish to eat!"
Chen Tao said: "I think it's better to forget it, when I want to eat, I will come to my aunt's shop to eat!
At this time, there were a few customers who were about to enter the store, among them was a young man in a suit, and he suddenly stopped and walked over when he saw several teenagers eating a pot of crayfish under a tree not far away.
"Little brother, what kind of shrimp are you eating?" asked the young man.
"Spicy crayfish, come, you pick one and try it!" Chen Tao replied with the initiative to be a self-cooked.
"Good!" the young man in the suit picked out a fat lobster tail, peeled off the shell and ate it.
"It's delicious!" he praised, then grabbed another one and continued to eat. The other people who had come with him to eat saw him squatting under the tree and eating shrimp, and they followed.
"Comrade Lu Cheng, what kind of shrimp is this, is it delicious?" one of the middle-aged men asked.
It turned out that the young man in the suit was named Lu Cheng, and he came here today to transport cement with the cement approval slip obtained through special methods. He has a special status, and when he was about to have lunch, the sales section chief of the factory invited him to have lunch in the small restaurant of the staff guest house. He has eaten the dishes in the small restaurant of the cement factory staff guest house many times, and the taste is average.
Just now he heard a driver who came here to pull cement in the factory said that the food of the newly opened Wangke restaurant tasted very good and the price was affordable, so he wanted to come here to eat. The middle-aged man who questioned was Song Liangren, the head of the sales section of the cement factory.
"Section Chief Song, it's delicious or not, you can taste it yourself!" Lu Cheng couldn't stop eating.
Song Liangren, as the sales section chief of the cement factory, is also a master who often travels south and north to witness food from all over the world. He curiously picked up a shrimp and ate it, the shrimp meat was full of juice, and the shrimp meat was soaked with a spicy and fragrant taste, this dish was really delicious!
"Comrade Lu Cheng, if it's delicious, let's go to the store to eat! If you continue to eat like this, I think these young men are about to have an opinion, let's go to the store and order a pot!"
"Okay, good!" Lu Cheng swallowed the shrimp meat in his mouth and said meaningfully, "What is the name of this pot of vegetables, do you have it in your store?"
"This dish of spicy crayfish is a new dish that we tried in our store today, you can just order it in the store!" Li Liang said.
Hearing this, Lu Cheng and Song Liangren nodded, and walked towards the store.
The teenagers continued to eat crayfish under the tree, and after a while, suddenly there was a commotion from the store, and Song Liangren was heard to say loudly: "Nonsense, how can you not have this spicy crayfish in your store! We just ate it outside the store!"
Li Liang hurriedly ran over, only to see Chen Run, who was in charge of ordering, standing in front of the table where Song Liangren and the others were sitting, a little frightened by Song Liangren.
"Sister Runrun, you go get busy, let me receive Section Chief Song!" Li Liang pushed Chen Run in the direction of the kitchen, and then said to Song Liangren apologetically, "Section Chief Song, I'm sorry, today's spicy crayfish was just tried to make in our kitchen, and others don't know yet." Well, you're the first customer to order this dish, and we'll give you a 5% discount in our store!"
"Okay, okay, Old Song, what are you angry at a little girl!" Lu Cheng said boldly on the side, "Young man, you made this dish, you just come at the original price, I don't miss this amount of money!"
Looking at Lu Cheng's suit and leather shoes and such a bold way of speaking, Li Liang pondered as if he had met a local tyrant: "Okay, let's have this spicy crayfish for 3 yuan a piece! Do you think you need to order other dishes besides this dish? The specialty dishes in our store are boiled pork slices, braised pork, braised fish, and stewed small miscellaneous fish, and the menu and prices are posted on the wall, and you can also look at the menu and order it yourself!" Li Liang said all the expensive meat dishes.
"Your dishes here are very cheap, but this spicy crayfish is a bit expensive!" Lu Cheng looked at the prices on the menu, the three most expensive dishes on the list, boiled pork slices, braised pork, and braised fish were all 1 yuan a piece, and only the spicy crayfish casually reported by Li Liang was 3 yuan a piece.
"This big brother, do you know! To make this taste of spicy crayfish, we use more than a dozen Chinese herbs, which costs a lot, and we can't make a lot of money in our store!" Li Liang said flickeringly.
