Chapter 66: Hydrangea Scallops (3)
When Du Shaonan returned to the third floor, he saw local figures with heads and faces led by the prefect of Mengzhou, all surrounding Master Liu in the middle, currying favor and courtesy, and being proud to be able to talk to Master Liu.
Du Shaonan smiled, he saved the crossing girl from the accident, saved her biological father in this life, kept her life of fine clothes and food, and kept her reputation, so in exchange, what could she not do if she used the pretense to make the Du family unhappy?
"Uncle, now that the guests are almost here, please order food." As soon as Du Shaonan came up, he personally handed over the menu to Master Liu, and the other shop juniors handed over the menu to other guests.
"Virtuous nephew, I heard that the boss of Tang Zhitang also came to you, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to taste his cooking skills today?" Master Liu has been thinking about this for a long time.
As soon as Master Liu said Tang Zhitang, several gentry present also showed yearning for it, they were fortunate to have been to the capital, and were entertained by friends in the capital to eat in Tang Zhitang, among which there was a dish made by Boss Tang himself, which was quite face-saving, because even the emperor wanted Boss Tang to cook in person, he had to make an appointment in advance.
The gentry only heard that Boss Tang was actually in this restaurant at this time, so Boss Liu was well-informed, it must be thanks to Du Shaonan, it was really enviable, why didn't their daughter let Master Du take a fancy to him? Could it be because her daughter goes out too little, unlike the Liu family who raises a tomboy?
Seeing the unpredictable looks of the people present, Du Shaonan smiled a little more respectfully at Master Liu: "Xiao Tang is in the kitchen, originally he came to help guide other cooks, but the little nephew has already greeted him, as long as his uncle orders, he will cook himself." Congratulations to me. ”
"Good ......" can order casually and let Boss Tang do it, even if it is only one dish. Master Liu is happy like a dream, but he can only order one. He didn't want to order the assorted candy buns that he was still hungry for, after all, he had already eaten them once, and his daughter at home would also make them, although they were not as delicious as those made by Boss Tang himself, but they could satisfy their hunger.
It's still appropriate to order a taste that has never been eaten, and Master Liu looked at the menu to find the one he liked the most: "That's it, hydrangea scallops." ”
Hydrangea...... As soon as they heard these two words, everyone present understood why Master Liu ordered this dish.
Du Shaonan smiled first: "Uncle is really an expert, Tang Zhitang is famous for desserts. Cooking seafood is also a must," then he turned to the prefect of Mengzhou, "Xiao Tang will only be here with me today, so Governor Li can try the other chefs in my restaurant, although they are not as good as Xiao Tang, but I can also guarantee that they are definitely one of the best in the restaurant in Mengzhou City." ”
If it wasn't for Tang Zhitang's boss to cook in person, Governor Li didn't care about what to eat, after all, as the biggest local official, he hadn't eaten anything delicious? What Governor Li cares about is the attitude of Young Master Du, who is a relative of the emperor.
Du Shaonan can first focus on his future father-in-law. This is really understandable, and then it will be his turn, which proves that he is still valued, and he can probably continue to be the prefect.
The rule of the dynasty was that the term of office of the magistrate was four years. Governor Li has only been in Mengzhou for two and a half years, and Mengzhou City was originally a rich and peaceful place, but when the previous terms expired, he was not promoted or transferred to other large towns. In the first year of his tenure, he caught up with a strange case in Mengzhou.
Fortunately, the case was also solved during his tenure, and Governor Li felt that he was promoted and did not dare to think about it for the time being. I am thankful that I can be transferred at the end of my term.
"Braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, just order this." The Governor of Monshu is not picky.
Wait for Governor Li to finish ordering. Du Shaonan motioned to Boss Gao: "Uncle Gao, don't be polite." ”
Boss Gao knew that he was stained with Master Liu's light, so naturally he would not pick fat and thin: "Just this garlic and white meat." ”
The others, the young master Du of the emperor's relatives didn't care, let everyone order casually without being polite, he went downstairs to observe today's passenger flow, it was lunch time, and the attendance rate of the private room on the second floor and the middle hall was okay, 80 percent.
The hall on the first floor made Du Shaonan frown, there were only three people, and there were two tables, honestly eating simple rice noodles, with a very simple dish or two.
Du Shaonan's family in the last life is to open a restaurant, but also high-end mid-range domestic and foreign opened several, he himself is also studying abroad management, so for today's opening situation he analyzed, the gentry on the third floor is to his imperial relatives and relatives to come, in the future will often come to the restaurant to take the opportunity to make friends with him, plus everyone came to congratulate with a lot of gifts, not in vain.
The people on the second floor are not simply here to eat, these people are well-dressed and must have a certain status, but they are not qualified to go to the third floor, so they sit on the second floor and wait for a chance encounter with the rich and powerful people on the third floor.
As long as those people on the third floor come often, his restaurant will become a high-grade place, and these people on the second floor will also become frequent customers.
As for the few on the first floor, those are the ones who really came to eat, and they came to the tooth sacrifice with the slogan of half-price discount for his opening today, but they were still just ordering cheap dishes.
What you earn by opening a restaurant is the money of the rich, and you can only come to a major festival for ordinary people who are used to cooking at home, and you can still open it?
Therefore, Du Shaonan will not panic because there are few people on the first floor, he set the tone to decorate it as a mid-to-high-end place in this time and space before opening, if you want to spend less money and eat well, please go to Tang Zhitang fast food chain store.
"Xiao Tang, Yu Xiao hasn't come yet?" Du Shaonan went to the kitchen again.
Xiao Tang had already seen the menu sent to the kitchen by Du Quanxiao at this time, and was preparing to make hydrangea scallops, he replied while selecting the ingredients: "Anyway, I didn't see him, anyway, I have steamed the assorted sugar buns he wants to eat in the cage drawer, I warn you not to think that if he doesn't come, he will take his food to please your cheap father-in-law." ”
"It's very face-saving to have the hydrangea scallops you made yourself." Du Shaonan didn't dare to move Lin Yuxiao when he ate, he had a deep experience of this when he was six years old, the beautiful and weak boy who didn't seem to be angry if you punched him, and the combat power that burst out when protecting food can only be described as terrifying.
As a good young man who loves food and enjoys life, eating is very important, but getting into a terrible enemy because of eating a sugar bag is definitely not worth the loss! It would be worth taking a risk if he could eat a drawer, but he didn't think Xiao Tang would be so generous.
So Du Shaonan simply behaved generously, anyway...... Anyway, no matter how delicious the assorted candy buns made by Xiao Tang are, they can't make the exact same taste that they sold in the hotel opened by his family in his previous life, ten yuan a can't be enough to eat at all, and it's not as good as Xiao Tang's attention to the fillings, he just thinks of the assorted candy buns and thinks of the ones he sells first......
But...... But for many years, he couldn't even dream of that smell in his dreams.
"Give." I don't know when Xiao Tang walked to the kitchen door and handed Du Shaonan a bowl.
Du Shaonan, who came back to his senses, looked at the food in the bowl and smiled: "Pea jelly, give it to me?" ”
"I don't give it to anyone, and today is a good day for you to open your business, and you have to set an example for the people below as the boss...... "Don't look like you're going to cry...... Xiao Tang didn't say the latter sentence.
"With the pea jelly you gave, I promise to be 100 times more energetic!" Du Shaonan smiled and opened to eat, and he could still see the slightest trace of sadness.
Xiao Tang didn't think he would be wrong, he was proud that his cooking skills could adjust his mood, he only knew two of the best eaters in the world, one was Lin Yuxiao and the other was Du Shaonan, Lin Yuxiao's realm was very successful, Xiao Tang never dared to hope that he could find someone comparable to Lin Yuxiao, but unfortunately there was no one who could even keep pace with Du Shaonan.
Yesterday, the woman dressed as a man, can talk eloquently, I don't know if she will eat it? Xiao Tang thought to Liu Yiyi like a dragonfly and took it back as soon as he clicked on it, Du Shaonan was facing Shangyue Linfeng, Lin Yuxiao would definitely not sit idly by, Fang Xiaozhu would definitely be embarrassed to stand by and stand still, and in the end, he was afraid that Li Mu would not be able to watch the excitement, so he would not wade into the troubled waters.
Du Shaonan didn't know that Xiao Tang's mind really drifted to Liu Yiyi, otherwise he would never eat pea jelly so happily, the refreshing and delicious jelly is generally regarded as an appetizer on the summer table, and Du Shaonan likes to eat it all year round.
Because Du Shaonan likes cold food, Lin Yuxiao also diagnosed his pulse when he was a child, worried that he had a fever in his body, but the result was that he ate too many supplements.
At that time, Du Shaonan had not traveled for a long time, and modern people would not take Chinese medicine as a tonic all day long, so he was not vigilant about diet, as for why he gave such a big supplement to a six-year-old child, this has to mention the Du family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war......
In short, Du Shaonan is very healthy now because he was found early, he eats cold and hot, and his nutrition is balanced, and he hasn't even had a small cold for almost ten years.
Du Shaonan didn't forget to look at Xiao Tang's back while eating pea jelly, watching him choose ingredients like a cloud, chop vegetables, cook pots, and stir-fry vegetables...... Just looking at the back is pleasing enough to the eye.
Du Shaonan has eaten hydrangea scallops, and has also seen how this dish is cooked, dried scallops are the main feature, and chicken breasts are also indispensable to chop chicken breast into puree and egg whites and chicken meatballs, chicken meatballs are wrapped in dried scallop shreds, made into scallop balls, and then the scallop balls are glued to the cross-shaped fragrant rush, and the gap has to be added with chicken puree, ham, and oil.
In order to fix the shape of the hydrangea, it is necessary to steam the first half of the meal with a strong fire, take it out and put it on the plate, and use chicken soup and seasonings to make thickening juice, pour it on the steamed hydrangea scallops, and finally drizzle with chicken fat.
The effort and spirit required to make such a dish is not as easy as that of a reader making an article, Master Liu will eat and order, and Du Shaonan is hungry when he watches Xiao Tang do it.
It's a pity that he knows that making this dish is laborious and laborious, and he is embarrassed to open his mouth to let Xiao Tang do it for nothing, what does Xiao Tang like besides cooking? He looked down and considered what he could get out of his little coffer.
"You want to eat, I still have it here?" It was Xiao Tang who spoke first, he took a plate of dried hydrangea scallops to the shopkeeper who was in charge of serving the food, and asked him to bring it out, and there were actually two plates of identical dried hydrangea scallops on the table.
