Chapter VII Making Friends
So I took her to the Drunken Immortal Residence, as soon as we entered the Drunken Immortal Residence, Xiao Er greeted us and asked us whether we were sitting in the hall or the private room, so I asked Xiao Er to take us to the private room on the second floor and asked him to give us a pot of tea.
This private room is about the same as what I used to see on TV, the window opens to see the scenery on the street, and after a while, Xiao Er came up with tea: "Two young ladies, what do you need for noon?" ”
"Give me a recommendation!"
"Hey, then I'll read you the names of our dishes, and tell me if you want to eat," I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Our specialty dishes here are auspicious dragon double flying, anchovy shark fin, red plum pearl fragrance, carp leaping dragon gate, hydrangea dried scallops, jade jade fan, Longjing goldfish, amber pigeon eggs, pearl tofu, five silk vegetable rolls, green willow phoenix silk, golden silk crisp, lotus cake, gold cake rolls ......"
"Stop, stop, stop, I can't remember what you said, and some of them don't know what they are just by name? So be it! A red plum pearl incense, a hydrangea dried scallop, a Longjing goldfish, a pearl tofu, a five-silk vegetable roll, a lotus crisp, that's all, in the last mushroom soup, in addition to packing some golden silk sparrows, gold cake rolls, lotus cakes. ”
"Do you have any pastries you'd like to eat?" Turning to the girl, he said.
"Just help me pack a lotus cake."
"That's all, let's go down!"
After Xiao Er went down, Qinghe said, "Miss, can you eat so much?" ”
"Who said it's just the two of us eating! Even if we can't eat it, aren't there still you and Xing'er! You and Apricot sit down, and let's try the specialty of this dish together. After saying to Qinghe and Xing'er, he turned to the girl and said, "You don't mind!" ”
The girl shook her head and said, "What do you mind about this, sit down and eat together!" ”
Qinghe hurriedly said: "Miss, let's wait for you to finish eating, we are eating, we can't break the rules." ”
I pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Qinghe, didn't I say that when we are here, don't call me Miss?" Apricot is also my friend, I don't think of you as a servant, you make me very sad like this. ”
Qinghe said in a panic: "Miss, I didn't mean that, oops, forget it, Xing'er, let's sit down and eat with her!" ”
Seeing that they all sat down, I was so happy that I laughed with them, I asked what the name of the girl with us was, she said that her name was Zhou Yunyun, and her family lived in Pingyang County at the age of 8. I smiled and didn't say anything, if it were an ordinary child, I wouldn't say those things to a stranger, especially when there were servants with me. So I have long seen that what she said is half-true, but I didn't expect her to be Miss Bogu Zhai, this Bogu Zhai is also a chain store! Although not all three countries have, but there is also a certain amount of power in the Shang country, Bo Gu Zhai heard the name and knew that it was selling some rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and I heard that his family could develop in the Shang country, because there were people in the court, and the so-called people above were easy to do! Her family is not short of money, and she is much richer than mine, and she even let me have a treat, what a sweat!
I asked her, "I said, Miss Zhou, you are much richer than me, why did you let me have a treat!" You can eat as many of these pastries as you want! ”
She grinned and said, "Oh, I recently had a little accident, and the ban has just been lifted, and my father and mother haven't given me pocket money yet!" Please! When I have pocket money, I'll ask you back! And don't you want this ball? I'll give it to you now. With that, she handed me the ball, and I asked Apricot to take it and set it aside.
It will be served after a while, the dishes are very exquisite, and the taste is good, it is worthy of being a well-known store in the three kingdoms, and it has a bit of ability.
After eating, when we went downstairs, Xing'er said, "Miss, the pastries here are so delicious, I have never eaten such delicious pastries." ”
I looked at her excited little face and said, "The pastries here are really good, but if you eat the snacks I made, I promise to take back what you just said." ”
As I spoke, I didn't notice that there was a man with a boy standing by the railing on the second floor, and the boy said to the person next to him unconvinced: "Father, don't take it to heart, how can you be accurate about what a little girl says!" We've been to so many places, and we've eaten as many pastries as we have, but none of them are as good as the ones in our store, and I think she's just a little girl who wants to be strong in front of the maid. He deliberately raised his voice in the last sentence, I thought to myself that I was afraid that I would not hear it!
I wanted to forget it, I didn't want to make a fuss and attract attention, but some people just didn't let you get it.
"Little girl, I haven't eaten anything good, so don't talk so much."
"Jun'er, don't be unreasonable." The man said.
"Hmph, I'm not wrong. She just hasn't eaten anything good, so she knows to brag. The boy said indignantly.
I'm putting up with him, he's going to have to inch in, he's not going to show you the color, you really think you're amazing, right? Although I think he deliberately provoked things and wanted to try me, but this is just a chance to give me a chance to test the waters, hmph, it's good for me to slaughter you.
Before I could speak, Zhou Yunyun next to me couldn't help but speak: "Hello Uncle Han, Han Jun, no one treats you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" ”
It turns out that they know each other, so it's even better, "Hello, I'm sorry to hear your conversation. It seems that you don't believe what you said to me, originally I wanted to leave, because the dim sum I made was our family's ancestral heirloom and couldn't be known to others, but some people said this about me, I don't think I could just leave, in case this acquaintance goes outside, our family's reputation will be stained. Although I am small, I have to stand up for the sake of my reputation, otherwise I will be deducted by others. I looked at the little boy and smiled.
The boy looked at the girl's smiling face and felt in his heart that this smile was not like a good thing. However, if this girl really has a delicious pastry recipe, it will bring profits to the Drunken Immortal Residence, so now it depends on whether this girl can make it.
"If you can make a pastry that tastes better than Drunken Immortal Residence, I apologize to you, if you can't make it, it's you talking big. Then I don't have to apologize to you! ”
"If I make it, you not only have to apologize to me, this secret recipe may be seen by your cook, then I don't lose more than I gain, it's too much of a loss, so be it! Let's sign a contract, I'll make a few more portions for the guests here, and if they think it's delicious, you'll have to buy it at a high price, and that's the price! In such a big store as yours, my dim sum is sold to you, and you can sell it in all the stores, and the money you make will definitely not be less, so a secret recipe costs 100 taels. ”
"You're too dark, let's not talk about whether you can make it, even if you make it, I'll give you 50 taels at most, and 100 taels for what secret recipe." The boy said in surprise.
"If you hadn't said those words, I could have considered a secret recipe and sold it to you for 50 taels, but I've changed my mind now, and I want 100 taels, not a penny. It's not like yours is so stingy! Do you have to have courage to do big business? And if you think about it, if you think about so many of your stores, you will definitely make more, not less. I said deliberately.
"You"
"Jun'er. I don't know what to call you, this young lady. ”
"My surname is Wang."
"Miss Wang, let's do it! As long as you can make it, the guest says it's delicious, and I'll pay for it. Han Jun's father said.
"Good. I admire a bold man like you, is that what a businessman should be! I said to Han Jun's father, then looked at Han Jun and said, "Hey, you still have a lot to learn!" ”
The boy just looked at it and didn't speak, thinking that the smile just now was really uneasy and kind, and he asked for 100 taels a mouth, although it was a little expensive, but we couldn't afford it. I deliberately provoked this girl, seeing that she swore so much, there should be a secret recipe in hand. If there is a secret recipe, it can make a breakthrough in the bottleneck of the drunken immortal residence in the recent period, although there are branches in the three kingdoms, but recently the guests are tired of eating the original dishes, and the cooks are used to cooking the original dishes, and they can't think of anything new, so the father had to look for the secret recipe everywhere, originally just wanted to come to see the situation of the drunken immortal residence here, but I didn't expect to meet this girl here, maybe we will have a surprise. Although this little girl is only 5 years old, she is not only bold in her words and actions, but also cunning and interesting. I think she knew my intentions and deliberately opened her mouth.
The boy here was thinking, but I led Xing'er to the kitchen, since it was going to be sold to them, then their cook didn't have to use it in vain, let them help me deal with the ingredients, Xing'er would operate, and I would be the conductor.
Han Jun said to Zhou Yunyun, "Why did you get here. Aren't you grounded? ”
Zhou Yunyun said to Han Jun angrily: "The ban was only lifted in the past two days, how are you!" I followed Uncle Han around, but I still didn't find any new dishes! ”
Han Jun shook his head and said, "The dishes I found were either too ordinary, or the taste was too bad. It's not as good as the Drunken Immortal Residence. Hey, you know this girl! ”
"You said Wan'er, I only met today."
"Let's eat together when we first know each other! is worthy of Miss Zhou, courage is big! ”
Zhou Yunyun rolled his eyes and ignored him.
In the kitchen here, I plan to make a double skin milk today and deliver a coconut red bean cake, so I also know Zhou Yunyun. Make double skin milk, 400 ml of milk, 2 egg whites, 2 teaspoons of sugar, at this time there is no cup to measure milliliters, you can only visually measure yourself, there is space with you, but you can't take it out. Let them get milk, at first I was surprised, but think that the boss let us in to make things, and we have to cooperate, there is no way but to go to the cow, get the milk, after a while the milk comes back, I let them pour the milk into the bowl, stuck an allegro on the bowl, put it in the steamer, steam for 10 minutes. After letting them separate the egg yolk from the egg white, stir the egg white well, and it does not take too long. Take out the steamed milk and let it cool, after cooling, a layer of milk skin will be formed on it, use a sharp knife, draw about 10 centimeters along the edge of the bowl, pour out most of the milk, and leave a little bottom at the bottom of the bowl not to pour it clean. After adding the whipped egg whites and sugar to the milk, sift the egg whites and milk to remove the unbeaten parts of the egg whites, and skim off the bubbles and milk foam with a spoon if there are bubbles and milk foam in the egg milk. Slowly pour the custard into the bowl along the cut just now, let the milk skin float on it, cover the board again and steam it in the pot for 10 minutes on medium heat, and simmer for 5 minutes after stopping the fire. On this side, the pot is steaming double skin milk, and on the other side, I have them making coconut and red bean cakes.
Soak the red beans in boiling water for half an hour, add water to the pot and cook for about half a summer to be ripe, fortunately they have red beans cooked in advance, this step is omitted. Corn starch, coconut milk, fresh milk, put it into the pot in a ratio of 1:3:5, put an appropriate amount of sugar, simmer over low heat, stir from time to time, until it thickens into a solid state, add cooked red beans and mix well, pour it into a bowl, let it cool and demold it along the edge with a knife, and cut it upside down on the plate.
