Chapter 63: Power
Then the twelve brothers of the Xiao family began to order food one by one, but because of the restrictions of cultivation, only the second eldest Xiao Ling of the twelve people reached the fourth order, so no one ordered several delicacies above the fourth order except for him.
When Xiao Ling's sauerkraut fish, Dongpo meat, and ecstasy rice were served one after another, others could only smell the fragrance and secretly bite the handkerchief, who let them not cultivate enough!
Qin Xiu first served the three dishes ordered by Xiao Ling to Qin before starting to make mapo tofu.
Mapo tofu, also known as Chen Mapo tofu, is one of the local traditional dishes in Sichuan Province, and is also a world-class famous dish, founded in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, created by Chen Liu, the proprietress of "Chen Xingsheng Rice Shop" in Wanfuqiao, Chengdu, because she has a few pockmarks on her face, so it is called Mapo Tofu.
Qin Xiu took out the tofu from the cabinet, this tofu was made of third-grade Jinyun beans, white as snow, his fingers slipped, and the touch was soft and elastic.
Mapo tofu is very simple to make, Qin Xiu first poured an appropriate amount of daylily oil into the wok to heat, and then poured in the minced meat after the oil was heated, stir-fried, and put it out for later use.
Then pour the daylily oil back into the wok, and after heating, pour in the sea pepper grains, minced garlic and ginger, and burst out a burst of fragrance.
Then Qin Xiu put in the bean paste and fried the red oil, then put the bell pepper grains into the stir-fry well, then pour in the cut tofu, stir-fry with a spatula for about 3 minutes, pour the previously fried minced meat into the pot, add monosodium glutamate and stir-fry again, then pour in water starch to thicken, and sprinkle the pot with chopped green onions and pepper powder after collecting the juice.
This group of people ordered a total of five portions of mapo tofu, and Qin Xiu did not make five portions of mapo tofu at once, but served this plate out first, and then returned to the kitchen to make the remaining four.
The characteristics of mapo tofu are numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, fresh, and live, also known as the eight-character proverb.
The mapo tofu made by Qin Xiu completely gave full play to this eight-character motto, so that the few people who ate it were all blowing with their mouths open, but the spoon in their hands was rushing to reach out to the tofu on the plate, as if they couldn't eat enough, spoonful after spoonful, and after a while, this mapo tofu bottomed out.
When Qin Xiu came out with the remaining quarters, he was very shouting that it was on the top 7 portions!
By the time Qin Xiu had served all the dishes ordered by the twelve people to Qin, it was already half an hour later, and it still took a lot of time to cook the food for the twelve.
By the time all the food on the table had been eaten, it had already passed a full hour, and the twelve people who had eaten and drunk were all lazily leaning back in their chairs, touching their bulging bellies and not wanting to move at all.
The happiest of the twelve is the second Xiao Ling.
The soup is sour and fragrant, slightly spicy and not greasy, and the sauerkraut fish with good taste, the Dongpo meat with thin skin and tender meat, soft but not rotten, mellow and rich in color, fragrant and flavorful, and the ecstasy rice with fresh color and fragrant fragrance is so delicious that people want to cry!
When all these delicacies were eaten by himself, Xiao Ling only felt that this was an abnormal taste feast!
At this meal, Xiao Ling ate very satisfied, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face that was usually expressionless, and the other twelve brothers who saw it were amazed, but after the surprise, they were forced to bitterly hate why their cultivation was so low! Why don't they usually work hard to cultivate! If their cultivation is raised, they will be able to eat more delicious food.
"A total of one hundred and twenty-one spirit crystals, and fourteen thousand six hundred and four gold coins. Qin Xiu said to the few people who came to the counter to pay after eating.
This time it was Xiao Gao who paid the money, Xiao Gao heard this price, first paid happily, and then didn't know where to take out a black delicate abacus, holding one hand and quickly moving the abacus on it with the other, and there were words in his mouth: "One hundred and twenty-one spirit crystals for a meal, 14,604 gold coins, a week is 847 spirit crystals, one hundred and twenty-two thousand two hundred and twenty-eight gold coins, and a month is ......."
"......" Hearing the price he read out, Qin Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, Emma, it turns out that he can still make so much money!
And the other eleven members of the Xiao family all looked at Xiao Gao who had entered a certain state with a headache, even the youngest Xiao Tu was no exception, they all lowered their footsteps and quietly moved towards the gate.
Xiao Gao is the one in charge of the economy among the twelve brothers, and he has no special hobbies, and his favorite thing is probably money.
Usually it's fine, but as long as the brothers spend money lavishly and the money exceeds the budget, Xiao Gao will enter a certain state, and then he will start to exploit and squeeze them brothers unscrupulously!
It's just that their father is most optimistic about Xiao Gao's ability, and he handed over a group of people's pocket money to him to take care of.
So in order not to become the one who is exploited, it is better to leave quickly!
"Smack!" Just when the eleven members of the Xiao family were about to escape from the door of the small shop, Xiao Gao slapped the abacus on the counter, and the eleven people who were walking towards the door, Qin Qin, froze in place like a wooden man, and kept a certain movement still!
"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Gao turned his head to look at the eleven people at the door and asked faintly.
The eleven who stood stiffly turned their heads to look at him.
Qin Xiu at the counter felt that he seemed to be able to hear the clicking sound of stiffness between the rotation of his neck.
Xiao Gao put away the black abacus and said with a gentle smile: "A month is three thousand six hundred and forty spirit crystals, four hundred and thirty-eight thousand one hundred and twenty gold coins, a year is forty-four thousand one hundred and sixty-five spirit crystals, Wu Bai three hundred and forty thousand four hundred and sixty gold coins." ”
Hearing this price, Qin Xiu was so excited in his heart, Emma, it turns out that he can still become a rich and handsome person!
"This is still the most basic estimated price, not counting the possibility of the boss coming out with a new dish, and not counting your usual food and clothing ......" Xiao Gao looked at the brother who froze at the door and said a big call again, and finally came to a conclusion, "So, this meal, second brother, two-thirds of the meal you ordered will be deducted from your pocket money." ”
This sentence suddenly made a few brothers who had not eaten sauerkraut fish, Dongpo meat, and ecstasy rice feel a burst of schadenfreude, but before they had a long time of schadenfreude, Xiao Gao pointed the finger at them and said: "And you, in order not to let you sit on the empty mountain, from today onwards, all your pocket money will be halved!"
There were eleven more sculptures at the door in an instant, and the youngest Xiao Tu didn't know what it meant that his pocket money was deducted, but he knew that whenever the fifth brother looked like this, it meant that he couldn't eat his favorite candy for a while.
"And I will tell my father to let you go and help in your own property, and all the money you have earned from your help will be confiscated. Xiao Gao said with a smile.
