Chapter 10: Shop When You Have Money1
Not long, Xiao Er brought a pot of soup over, "Two guest officers, this is the soup of our store's town store 'Winter Melon Pork Rib Soup', you two drink a little first to warm your stomach." ”
I looked at this soup, I always felt weird, I put a bowl in a spoon and tasted it and immediately spit it out, this soup is still the soup of the town store, the fishy smell of the pork ribs has not been removed at all, and it is greasy. "It's still the soup of the town store that is so unpleasant, it seems that your store is about to close down."
Xiao Er's attitude immediately became bad when he saw me say this, "What do you mean, guest officer, are you here to find fault!" ”
I looked at Xiao Er like this, and felt a little helpless: "Your soup is unpalatable, and no one is allowed to say it, who is it." ”
After saying this, some of the guests who ate around me also accused me of deliberately finding fault.
Hearing these people say this, Wang Da immediately stood up, "Don't let you talk about my lady, this soup is already unpalatable, and it is not as good as my lady's craftsmanship." ”
Xiao Er heard this big man who looked more honest actually say this, "Haha, laugh off your big teeth, our store's winter melon pork rib soup is the most famous soup in this market, you actually say that your lady makes it better than this." ”
Wang Da listened to Xiao Er's ridicule and immediately got up angrily to beat him, but I stopped my husband Wang Da Da.
"It's better to try it and find out." I took a sip of the soup and knew that it definitely didn't have any fishy condiments.
"Okay, the competition is the competition." Xiao Er looked at Tian Tian and his wife with a smile.
After that, we were invited to the back kitchen, and for the sake of fairness, we also found two guests who had just been invited around and two guests who were invited outside to watch and taste, so as to determine whether we won or lost.
The chef and I started to prepare a large pot by ourselves, but fortunately the kitchen was relatively large, and it didn't seem crowded when two people were cooking together.
I prefer to prepare the ingredients first, first pick a large piece of ribs with more lean meat, cut it into pieces and put it in a large bowl, and then take a pound of winter melon, cut it into slices about one centimeter thick and put it in another large bowl.
I took another green onion and chopped it and put it in a bowl. I took a piece of ginger, smashed it with a knife and put it in a bowl. I took twenty peppercorns and prepared them, and finally took a bottle of liquor to prepare for later.
The ingredients are ready to be made, and when I turned my head to look at the big chef's approach, I almost died of laughter, only to see that he cut the pork ribs and winter melon, added oil to the cauldron and poured it directly into the pot, added water and began to boil, so it was strange that it was delicious.
The people next to him thought that Tian Tian would not do it when they saw that Tian Tian's materials were ready, and they were ready to laugh at Tian Tian when they were ready.
I finally started to do it, my method is: first, blanch the pork ribs in boiling water to remove the smell and blood, scoop them up and put them in a large bowl for later use.
2. Add water to the stew pot, add ginger pieces, green onion knots, and Sichuan peppercorns, and pour in the pork ribs after boiling.
3. After boiling again, add salt, change to a slight heat and boil for an hour and a half, and then pour in the winter melon pieces.
4. Change to medium heat and cook for about 20 minutes until the melon is soft and ripe.
While waiting for the last twenty minutes, I turned my head to see that the chef had already prepared the winter melon pork rib soup, and was warm in the pot ready to make a joke when I was ready.
Xiao Er walked up to Tian Tian, "Guest officer, you won't admit defeat early, it will be more embarrassing to wait, haha." ”
I glanced at him, "No one knows who loses or wins before they do a good job, so wait for you to admit defeat, huh." ”
After ten minutes, the pot began to emit an enticing aroma, and the people around me began to wonder who won and lost, and after another ten minutes, the winter melon pork rib soup I made was finally ready.
As soon as I opened the lid, I heard drooling around me, hum, let you see what a great chef is. I put the winter melon pork rib soup in a big bowl and brought it to the table in the middle of the restaurant, and the chef also brought his winter melon pork rib soup to the table.
In fact, everyone already knows that Tian Tian is the big winner, and they are already drooling when they look at the colorful and fragrant winter melon pork rib soup.
Under the tasting of the hotel shopkeeper and the four judges, the restaurant quieted down, and the five people first tasted the winter melon pork rib soup made by the chef of the hotel.
Finally, I tasted Tian Tian's winter melon pork rib soup, but I couldn't stop after tasting it.
I saw five people scrambling to eat the still hot winter melon pork rib soup, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat it, and the people around were dumbfounded.
In a moment, Tian Tian's sweet winter melon pork rib soup was eaten by five people, and there was not even a mouthful of soup left.
The shopkeeper licked his mouth, "The soup made by this girl is simply memorable, it is estimated that even the gods in the sky can't drink this kind of soup." ”
The other four people also said yes again and again, saying that they had no regrets about drinking this kind of soup in their lives.
I saw their virtue, and then thought of their mocking tone just now, and quietly pulled my husband out of the hotel.
Wang Da looked at his lady curiously, "What's wrong with Tiantian, you must have won just now, why don't you reason with them." ”
I looked at my husband Wang with a meaningful meaning and said: "Xianggong, when they react, won't they want to pester us, how troublesome, besides, we still have to buy things, it's been a long morning, the four wolf babies are going to starve to death at home, let's hurry up and eat something to fill our stomachs, and go shopping and go home." ”
Wang Da looked at his lady with admiration: "Tiantian, you are so smart, you are right, let's hurry up and eat and then buy things and go home." As he spoke, he took Tian Tian's hand and walked up.
Sure enough, five minutes after they left, everyone found that the couple who were still next to them just now was gone, and they immediately became anxious.
"What about people, how could it be gone, I still want to apprentice, it's just a god chef." The shopkeeper slapped his thigh and sat on the ground......
However, I guessed the reaction of those people but didn't see it, and of course I didn't care.
I took my husband Wang into a noodle stall and sat down and ordered two bowls of noodles to eat, the desire to eat a big meal also lost the appetite under the unpalatable dishes, I think the cooking skills of this era should be very poor, but unfortunately there are so many ingredients.
I thought that if I opened a restaurant in the future, wouldn't it be full every day, and I was excited to think about it, but Tian Tian's idea did happen, and Tian Tian became the richest man, of course, this is a later story.
After eating, I called the boss, "Boss, how much are two bowls of noodles?" ”
The boss came over and said, "Guest officer, we have a bowl of noodles here for three dollars." Two bowls of noodles for five cents, hehe. ”
I gave the boss five cents, thanked Xie and pulled my husband Wang to start shopping. I think that in this era, a penny is equivalent to a dollar in modern times.
I thought about buying a carriage first, and then I would buy something to put in it, and it would be too tiring to walk, and it would be more convenient to have a carriage when I went out later.
Then we went to the place where the carriage was sold and I saw several carriages here, I touched this horse, and then looked at the other end, and it is estimated that the merchant who sold the carriage saw that Wang and I were dressed in shabby clothes, and thought that they were just looking, and did not come to greet us.
After carefully looking at each horse, I suddenly found that there was an old horse in the corner, and there were two ponies under the old horse who were not long old and were suckling.
My eyes lit up immediately, yes, I had a crush on these three horses, and they looked like they should be thousands of miles of horses. I was bored once in modern times, and I researched the quality of horses on the Internet.
