Chapter 153: The Forgotten Chili
That afternoon, Zhang Quan came to the Bixiang Mala Shop on Hequan Road as usual to help, and at the same time brought a batch of new spices.
However, in this batch of materials, in addition to the usual ginger and shallots, there are also some chili peppers.
These peppers were harvested by Zhao Yun for a period of time and put them in the storage room, but unfortunately, Zhang Quan didn't notice it, and now he has picked a lot.
Today, Zhang Quan walked into the storage room and finally found the chili pepper in the corner, and the role of chili pepper in Malatang is also very great, so he took the chili pepper to the spicy shop to try it.
When Zhang Quan walked to Bixiang Mala Shop, it was at the end of the afternoon break, and Aunt Liu and Aunt Gu were making preparations before opening the store.
Zhang Quan said hello to them, then handed her the bag with the spice, and told them that they had newly gotten the chili seasoning, and the spicy taste was not clear, so let them try it.
Aunt Liu took the seasoning with a smile, chatted for a few words, and then took the seasoning into the kitchen.
As usual, Aunt Liu sliced the seasonings and put them in the soup pot.
But the difference is that this time the chili pepper was replaced by Zhang Quan, and the amount used was halved.
Because these peppers are used for the first time, I don't know how hot they are, so I add half of them first, try the taste, and adjust them slowly.
After more than a minute, these seasonings were integrated into the soup pot, so Aunt Liu took a bite into the bowl and drank it gently.
In about half a second, a fiery sensation quickly rushed from the tip of the tongue to the throat and then spread to the entire face.
"Phew, phew" Aunt Liu quickly spit out twice.
But that didn't solve the problem, so she hurriedly ran to fill a glass of water.
"Goo" drank it.
"Aunt Liu, what's wrong." Zhang Quan saw Aunt Liu run out strangely, then drank water violently, and asked strangely.
But Aunt Liu didn't answer him, and drank two glasses of water "coo", and the hot feeling slowly subsided, stood up, and took a long breath.
"Brother Zhang, what kind of peppers are you, so bad." When Aunt Liu saw Zhang Quan, she thought of those chili peppers, and said with palpitations.
"I'll take a look." Zhang Quan listened and said strangely.
Before he could enter the kitchen, he smelled the strong aroma of the students, which was more fragrant than before, and there was an extra spicy smell in it.
Zhang Quan walked in and turned off the fire, he didn't have to try, and he knew that there were too many chili peppers in this soup pot.
"Auntie, there are too many seasonings in this soup pot." Aunt Gu didn't know when she also walked in, she smelled the smell, and she also felt a lot of spicy.
"No, because this chili pepper was brought by Brother Zhang, the first time I used it, I didn't dare to put too much, only half of the usual amount, I didn't expect it to be too spicy." Aunt Liu said.
"This chili pepper has a strong spicy taste, and there is a strong fresh aroma, it is a first-class product, and when it is added to the soup pot, the fragrance is even stronger." Uncle Gu also didn't know when he walked in, smelled the fragrance, and blurted out praise.
"It's a pity that this pot of soup is wasted." Aunt Liu said in a bad mood.
"It doesn't matter, a pot of soup is not worth much, but in the future, we will put less chili peppers, and if we make good use of them, our Malatang is estimated to be more delicious." Zhang Quan said.
"Well, I'll take out the seasoning from this soup pot and put it in another soup pot, don't waste it." Aunt Liu listened and said.
Because the store has just opened for business, and there are no customers coming to the door, Aunt Liu just got a pot of soup stock, and only when there are more people and one soup pot can't be made, will the second and third pots be fired.
Aunt Liu made another pot of soup and put the seasoning from the pot just now.
Although there is no shortage of seasonings in the store, there are not many, every time they use it, Aunt Liu can save it, and the seasonings that were fished out just now are very fresh, and they have not been used, so they can still be used.
In addition, Aunt Liu added some new seasonings, because those seasonings have already been used, the effect may not be enough, and it is necessary to add some new ones.
Of course, I fished out some of those peppers, but I didn't put them all in anymore, I packed them with tools and put about a tenth of them.
After a while, the pot of soup was also messed up, and Aunt Liu filled a bowl and licked it uneasily.
This time it's not as spicy as last time, but it's just as spicy, and the taste is similar to what he usually tries the soup stock on, but it's a little different from the spicy taste he remembers, a little more fragrant, a little less domineering, and this soup is more delicious than before.
"Auntie, how's it going?" Aunt Gu looked at it and asked.
"Good, good, it tastes just right, and the soup is even more delicious than before." Aunt Liu said in admiration.
When everyone heard this, they also looked for bowls and filled them with a mouthful, and they all felt good.
"This chili pepper is so harmful that when you put it in about one-tenth of the previous one, the spiciness can be compared to the previous one, and it also makes the soup more delicious, which is really a first-class product." Uncle Gu said.
"It's not one-tenth, it's one-twentieth." Aunt Liu said, "When I put about half of the usual pot just now, I tried it, and almost broke my tongue, I made Malatang for so long, it can be spicy compared to ordinary people, but it is more than one layer high, but it is unexpectedly, alas, and after taking out the pepper from that pot, I didn't dare to put more, only put about one-tenth, to achieve such an effect, it is really harmful." ”
"Well, this chili pepper is so harmful, then you should pay attention to the dosage in the future, don't eat bad guests, otherwise it will be troublesome." Zhang Quan was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the chili pepper in the space to be so harmful.
"No problem, this is completely reassuring, every time we make the soup, we will try to turn it over and adjust the taste, and then we will make spicy skewers, otherwise the taste will not be good, but it will ruin the reputation of the store." Aunt Liu gave a reassuring look and replied seriously.
"That's right, even if it's not Aunt Liu in the kitchen, a few of us will try it, and we will definitely not mess with customers." Aunt Gu said.
"Okay, okay, you've done a good job of this, it's a good habit, and we have to keep it in the future, and we must not let customers lose confidence in us." Zhang Quan nodded, affirmed their habit, and praised it.
Zhang Quan said to a few of them about the problems to pay attention to, and then asked Aunt Liu and Uncle Gu to be in place, as soon as a customer comes to the door, they will immediately greet them according to the process, and the service quality may be better than that in the big restaurant, but compared to the hotel with a small restaurant at the same time, it is definitely more thoughtful.
