Chapter 107: A full altar of incense that lacks materials
"You don't make a sound when you walk, it scares me!" Su Miao saw that it was an aftertaste, patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and said.
"You're still in the kitchen at this late hour, what are you doing?" Aftertaste walked up to her, glanced at the row of soup pots on the stove, and landed on a blue book she hung on the shelf above the stove, took it down and looked at it by the light for a moment, slightly stunned, "Full altar of incense?" ”
"Hmm." Su Miao was interrupted by his arrival, and lost her thoughts, turned around and sat on the bench on the side, and said, "Mantan incense is my father's signature dish, because there are too many ingredients, he doesn't often make it, and there is only one day a month for special supply. Compared with the fried fish in sauce, Mantan Xiang is the most powerful signature dish of Pinxian Building, and it is also the last killer feature of Pinxian Building. Now there are all kinds of signature dishes in the Pinxian Building on Lingyuan Street, only the full altar of incense has not been hung out, I know that my father must not have taught Zhou Cheng and not written it in the recipe, so he can't make it. I've been thinking about creating a dish that people can't easily forget, but when I dreamed, I dreamed of Mantan Xiang, and although I forgot a lot after a long time, I was very impressed by that dish when I first ate it, and I remembered the taste as soon as I thought about it, so I wanted to try to make it with my feelings, but I tried many times and failed. I wanted to make this the main dish on the opening day, but now it seems hopeless. ”
"It's not like you to give up so soon." Aftertaste looked at the recipe she wrote down from memory and said, "Cabbage, vegetarian chicken, ginkgo seeds, taro, chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms, lotus seeds, bamboo shoots, vegetarian balls, vegetarian meat, bamboo fungus, lion's mane mushrooms, mushrooms, vegetarian shark fins, vegetarian mutton, candied dates, put them into the wine jar and pour the broth into the lotus leaf seal and steam it through water?" Heating this in a wine jar is a bit like Fu Shouquan. ”
"It's probably Fu Shouquan. My father felt that he couldn't afford to use the precious ingredients in Fushouquan, so he changed it to his liking, and changed his name to Mantan Xiang. I guess the most important thing about this dish is the broth. But I've boiled twenty pots, and none of them taste right. ”
"Why are you so stuck in the past, didn't you say that your father is your father, and you have to go your own way?" Aftertaste, put down the blue notebook and walked to the stove, scooped up a spoonful of broth, and took a sip.
"Having said that, my father's full altar of fragrance has reached the peak level, you can see the recipe, there is not a single meat dish in it. However, those who have eaten it say that the taste is more memorable than the authentic Fukujuen, and although the person who said it probably hasn't eaten Fujuquan, it also shows that this dish is very popular. Think from a business point of view. This dish is definitely an important part of the gap between Su Ji Pinxian Building and the original Pinxian Building, and it is also one of the important means to snatch the original old customers back. ”
"I've wanted to ask from just now, why are they all vegetarian? Vegetarian chicken and vegetarian meat are even shark fins, and shark fins are just fine. The previous business of Pinxian Building was not bad. You can't even afford to use chicken and pork, right? ”
Su Miao held her face with her hands and thought for a long time, slapped her face, and said seriously: "Maybe the most important thing in this dish is these vegetarian meats." In the past, our family was too poor to eat meat, so my father used tofu gluten to make meat for our sister, which can definitely be fake, so after the business of Pinxian Building is good, the vegetarian meat dish series has also become a signboard of Pinxian Building, and my father is very good at making vegetarian meat dishes. ”
"You said the most important thing is the stock." Aftertaste: scoop up a spoonful of the stock in the last pot. After tasting the product, he turned back to her and said to her. "These 20 soups are all meat soups?"
Su Miao was stunned for a moment and nodded: "The soup stock is originally meat." ”
"You forgot about the vegetarian stock?"
Su Miao's eyes widened slightly, looked at him for a while, and frowned: "I thought about it at first, but I always felt that the taste should not be vegetarian broth, the taste is quite mellow." ”
"You are prejudiced, you don't know that the famous dishes of the Great Buddha Temple in the entire Yueliang country are all made of vegetarian dishes and vegetarian broth, but the taste is no worse than meat dishes. The vegetarian soup boiled out of the Big Buddha Temple is even more mellow than the meat soup, but it is less greasy than the meat soup, and the taste is more delicious and clear, without a little excess miscellaneous taste. ”
Su Miao stared at him directly, and after a while, asked, "Where is the Big Buddha Temple?" ”
"......" looked at her for a while and replied, "Liang Du." ”
"Don't tell me I've never been there or eaten, I'm going to be hungry in the middle of the night." Su Miao wrinkled her face and muttered.
smiled aftertastefully, stepped forward and touched her head: "When I have time, I will take you to the Liangdu Great Buddha Temple for a vegan feast." ”
Su Miao nodded.
Aftertaste glanced back at a row of soup pots, and continued: "You might as well try vegetarian stock, since it is the signature dish of the original Pinxian Building, the use of vegan ingredients is definitely not because you can't afford expensive ingredients, since the ingredients are vegan, eighty percent of the broth is also vegan, otherwise the ingredients are vegan and meaningless." ”
Su Miao looked at him with a straight face and didn't say a word.
"How?" He asked suspiciously.
"I, actually, I'm not very good at making vegetarian broth." Su Miao said word by word. In the past, she mainly focused on watercress, and she generally didn't need vegetarian broth, not that she couldn't cook it, but it was obvious that if Mantanxiang used vegetarian broth, it would not be ordinary vegetarian broth, and it could not be cooked by boiling it casually.
The aftertaste was slightly stunned, and then he laughed loudly.
"Don't laugh at me." Su Miao looked at him unhappily and said.
"I don't, I just think you're quite honest, and you can say things that you're not good at so lightly." The aftertaste is full of smiles.
"If you're not good at it, you're not good at it, and there's something to hide." Su Miao muttered quietly.
Aftertaste smiled, patted her on the head, turned around and walked to the storage cabinet, took out a lot of vegetables from the cabinet and put them in boxes and carried them to the cooking table, turned back to her and smiled:
"I'll do it for you."
Su Miao looked at him without blinking for a while, bent her apricot eyes, and smiled.
In the early morning, the birds chirped crisply in the yard, the magnificent morning glow in the eastern sky had receded, and the smoke in the back kitchen of Su Ji Pinxian Building had not been interrupted all night, as if a light veil of mist shrouded the roof.
The aftertaste coat has been taken off, and it is covering Su Miao, who is sleeping soundly on the table, he is only wearing an ivory robe with a white collar and cuffs embroidered with a moon-white orchid pattern, the sleeves are rolled in two, and his long black hair is tied high with a jujube hairpin. He stirred the steaming pot with a long spoon, scooped up a little, and put it to his lips to taste it, frowning slightly. Judging from the vegetarian soup stock alone, the taste is already very delicious, but he always feels that it is not enough, and the full altar of incense that can make Su Miao praise and can't even make her, the vegetarian soup should not be such a simple taste.
Su Yan yawned and came in from outside, staggering like a duck, stepping in and seeing that the aftertaste was cooking soup Su Miao fell asleep on the table, stunned. The situation in front of him was clearly that the two of them had spent the night alone, and he was so angry that he was about to stare at him and question, but Aftertaste stood silently in front of his lips with his index finger up, signaling him to silence.
The question that was about to be said swallowed back, Su Yan walked quickly in front of him with staring eyes, and was about to lower his voice to speak, but Aftertaste had already asked first:
"Have you ever eaten a full altar of incense?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Of course I have eaten it, it is my father's specialty." ”
Aftertaste, scooping up a spoonful of vegetarian stock, pouring it into a small bowl and handing it to him: "Try this." ”
Su Yan took it, glanced at him suspiciously, took a sip, smacked his lips and tasted it for a long time, but he didn't make a sound.
"Not like?" Aftertaste frowned and asked.
Su Yan tilted his head and tasted it carefully for a long time, frowned, and said:
"It's kind of like, but it's still not right, there's something missing in there. What did you put in it? ”
Aftertaste glanced at the pot and replied lightly: "Cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, soybean sprouts, white radish, carrots, dates, add water, salt and sugar, and boil for two hours." ”
Su Yan put his finger against his lower lip, and fell into deep thought: "Almost everything that should be put is released, and what is missing is not released, is it because the heat is wrong?" Well...... It's very similar, but if something is missing, it must be something missing, what is it? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of heavy slapping on the table sounded, which was extremely harsh and loud in the silent room, which frightened Su Yan so much that he jumped up and took half a step back. Even the aftertaste was taken aback, and he followed the prestige, but saw that Su Miao had already sat up, looking at him with blazing eyes, and said with a stern expression:
"It's dried kelp!"
"......" was stunned for a while, looked at her, and thought about it, people in coastal cities do use kelp to make soup, but it is a poor family that is not rich in food, not to mention that Fengzhou is an inland city, and it is not common to make soup with seafood, because it is a transportation hub city, dried kelp is not rare, and it is usually only made into a new dish for people to try. ”
She nodded solemnly.
I can't laugh or cry in the aftertaste.
There is no dried kelp in the store, and I have to buy it now, and the matter of boiling vegetarian soup can only be postponed for the time being.
At the time, today is the first day of the assembly of Su Ji Pin Xian Building, and the kitchen staff and field personnel are all gathered and stand in the lobby on the first floor in two teams.
Each person's position has been confirmed, Su Miao is the head chef and part-time executive chef, Huiwei is the head chef, Cheng Tie is in charge of hot dishes, Niu Guang is in charge of cold dishes, Chen Sheng is in charge of the board, and Uncle Hu leads the two groups of people to fully assist, in addition, Uncle Hu is also responsible for assisting Huiwei in procurement. Chen Yang, the service foreman on the first floor of the outfield, Su Xian on the second floor, and Hu Shi is still in charge.
Tongxi Tonggui Su Chan Ningle brought four large boxes of simple fans, wooden handles, cardboard fan surfaces, the front of the fan is the logo and address information of Su Ji Pin Xian Building, and the back is two lines of Su Ji Pin Xian Lou's main signature dishes. The paper fan that is not worth much will definitely make Su Ji Pinxian Building known to the whole city within five days, because this advertisement is fresh. (To be continued......)
