Chapter 45
Zhao Siniang saw that Shopkeeper Wang was so good, and hurriedly dictated the recipe for making meatballs and several related recipes to Shopkeeper Wang, and Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly recorded them on paper.
Shopkeeper Wang carefully looked at the written pieces of paper, and felt that the recipe for making meatballs was very exquisite, and even the recipes that came with it were also exquisite, with reasonable collocation, and they were all high-quality. Deng Shi felt that the hundred taels of silver were really worth it.
"Siniang, your recipe and recipe have mentioned the use of sweet potato flour several times, although you also told me how to make this sweet potato flour just now, but even if it is freshly made here, it will take some time to get the finished product. Do you have ready-made ones at home? Can you sell me some? Shopkeeper Wang asked.
"Absolutely. As I mentioned just now, there is no fixed amount of sweet potato flour to be added to the meatballs, and some adjustments can be made according to the situation, but it is definitely not appropriate to add too much to the good meatballs. It is estimated that there are more than ten or twenty catties of sweet potato flour, which is enough for your family for several days, so I will weigh twenty catties for you first. This price, well, even if it's a pound! As for the future, you can buy from us, or you can find another supplier by yourself. Zhao Siniang agreed with a smile.
Originally, Zhao Siniang wanted to send sweet potato flour over tomorrow, but she knew that Shopkeeper Wang was willing to pay a high price to buy the seeds, and a large part of the reason was that she wanted to learn these skills as soon as possible and seize the market opportunity.
Grateful for the kindness of the shopkeeper Wang, Zhao Siniang continued: "In fact, these meatballs can be made without adding sweet potato flour, but the taste is not so crisp, but more tender." Well, now I'll go to the stove and demonstrate how to make meatballs without sweet potato flour. Taking advantage of this time, I asked my dad to go home and get sweet potato flour. When I got it, I showed me how to make the balls with sweet potato flour again. At that time, if it's still early enough to take up the time for your restaurant to prepare for dinner, I'll show you those recipes one by one. What do you think? ”
Of course, Shopkeeper Wang readily agreed, and his heart was very moved: the little girl is so caring! For the sake of the business of his restaurant.
So Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly arranged for his men to drive Zhao Yongzhong back to Jiang's house, and then led Zhao Siniang to the stove.
It was past dinner, and there were not many people in the stove. Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly sent the guys to call Chef Liu over, and then opened up the idle people, so that Zhao Siniang showed them.
Other processes are just fine, seeing with their own eyes that the balls pinched out of Zhao Siniang's hands are only round and the same size, Shopkeeper Wang and Chef Liu can't help but be amazed: Although I have seen Zhao Siniang cook and cook vegetables before, those are all home-cooked dishes, and they don't show much effort. And this kneading pills is obviously a technical job, I thought it was made by the adults of her family, but I didn't expect it to be done by the little girl herself.
After Zhao Siniang demonstrated it a few times, she asked Chef Liu to try to do it according to the techniques she taught. Unexpectedly, Chef Liu, who had been working in the stove for more than 20 years, pinched out the balls that were all strangely shaped, and he couldn't pinch a circle, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Zhao Siniang hurriedly comforted Chef Liu and said: "There is no sweet potato flour in this pot of fish mushroom, so it is quite difficult to make." Master Liu, as a beginner, it's amazing that you can pinch it like this! ”
Chef Liu was comforted by Zhao Siniang, relaxed a little, and tried again a few times, although he still couldn't pinch the ball, but it looked much better than the ones he pinched just now.
At this time, Zhao Yongzhong had already rushed back with sweet potato flour, and when Zhao Siniang saw this, she secretly said in her heart: It is convenient to have a car! On weekdays, you have to walk the road for half a day, so it's just a little longer? I've already run back and forth! If only we had a car.
But this is not the time to think about these, Zhao Siniang immediately got rid of distractions, rushed to make a pot of minced fish with sweet potato flour, and asked Chef Liu to continue to try it according to the previous method.
I don't know if it's because of the addition of sweet potato flour to it, or because of a few more attempts to make perfect, this time Chef Liu finally succeeded in pinching out the balls, although they are not too round, and the size is different, but it can be regarded as barely passing.
So Zhao Siniang seized the time and demonstrated the shrimp balls, stuffed balls, fish curd and related dishes one by one.
In this process, Zhao Siniang pointed out and explained in detail the matters that need to be paid attention to, not only Chef Liu, who learned art, but also Shopkeeper Wang, who stood aside and listened, he also felt that he had benefited a lot and gained a lot.
Zhao Siniang talked about stopping, and it took a lot of time to come down in one round. Seeing that it was not too early, he and his father said goodbye to the shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang knew that they had rushed over from Jiangjiatan, and they must have eaten early for lunch. I wanted to keep them for a meal, but I couldn't keep them. wanted to send a car to take the father and daughter home, but they were also politely refused. In the end, there was really no way, knowing that they would not accept the expensive thank-you gifts, so they had to stuff their car with four packets of snacks, two hens, two bags of rice, and two jars of good wine, and refused to let them go.
The father and daughter really couldn't refuse, thanked the polite shopkeeper Wang again and again, pushed a cart of good things, and happily left Qingfeng Building.
As soon as she walked into the middle of the road, Zhao Siniang, who was full of curiosity, couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, it turns out that you are literate?" I even wrote my own name! ”
Zhao Yongzhong said embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I lived in Jinghai County with your grandmother for a while, and at that time, my family was relatively well-off, so I was sent to the school to study for a year. Alas, your father has no talent for reading, and he doesn't know a few words in the books he has read for two years, so he can only write his own name. ”
"That's pretty good, too! Dad, you're not kind! He used to pretend to be illiterate in front of us! Zhao Siniang snorted angrily and complained.
In the two years when he had books, he was carefree and had the happiest time in his life. It's just that happiness is followed by misfortune, and every time he thinks about it, it makes him feel sad and unbearable. Therefore, Zhao Yongzhong would rather be mistaken for an illiterate person than mention that he had ever studied.
Zhao Yongzhong laughed dryly, not wanting to continue talking about this topic, and hurriedly interrupted: "Didn't you say that you want to make sweet potato noodles today?" It's almost time to go to the butcher shop to pick up the goods, and then go to the grain shop to buy some white noodles and soybeans, and hurry back! ”
When Zhao Siniang heard this, she was also a little anxious. She knew that if she didn't hurry up, she might not be able to make this sweet potato noodles today. So she hurried up and followed her father to the butcher's shop.
When she arrived at Sun Ji Butcher's Shop, in addition to buying the agreed goods, Zhao Siniang saw that there was a large piece of meat on the meat case that looked good, so she asked Boss Sun to sell it to her cheaper.
It's come to this point, Boss Sun is worried that such a big piece of meat will not be sold, I heard that Zhao Siniang is willing to buy it, and he is busy with a quite favorable price, seeing that Zhao Siniang nodded and agreed without saying a word, only to feel joy descending from the sky. He immediately ran to weigh the meat, not only took the initiative to wipe zero, but also gave all the remaining stick bones in the shop to Zhao Siniang.
This time everyone was happy.
When Zhao Yongzhong counted the money to Boss Sun, Zhao Siniang, who was standing on the side, had his eyes flashing.
