Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 143 Pickled to taste
Xu Xiang looked at the middle-aged man who walked in, and looked a little kind, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
The middle-aged man walked up to Xu Xiang and saluted him, "I have seen Young Master Xu in Xia Lingwu County!" ”
"Xu Molin?" Xu Xiang suddenly remembered someone, "What is your relationship with Xu Mosheng?" ”
Xu Molin said: "Young Master Xu is talking about the younger brother below. ”
"It turns out that you are brothers, I said why do you look so similar." Xu Xiang couldn't help but wonder, among the group of businessmen in Ningdu, he had a slightly deeper impression of Xu Mosheng.
"Mo Lin, do you know each other?" Xie Tianbao asked at this time.
"Oh! Right! Brother, let me introduce to you, this is Young Master Xu Changsha Xu who gnawed on the chicken in Ningdu, I advised you to make fried chicken and barbecue at the inn before. These things are all developed by Young Master Xu! Xu Molin solemnly introduced to Xie Tianbao, and then glanced at Chef Jiang coldly, "Young Master Xu said that what you made is not delicious, but it is really not delicious!" I'll call the shots for the Tempo Inn, you can pack up your things and get out! ”
Jiang Junsheng was stunned, he never expected that fried chicken and barbecue were so popular and eaten by the young man in front of him.
Tianbao Inn was about to fire himself, and he panicked all of a sudden. After all, Tianbao Inn is the largest inn in Lingwu County, in addition to the fixed salary every month, some more expensive dishes he can get part of the commission, if you leave Tianbao Inn and go to other restaurants or inns to be a cook, there is no such good treatment.
Thinking of this, he quickly knelt down, "The villain is wrong!" It's because I have eyes, Young Master Xu, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry about me, right? I don't want to lose this job! ”
Xu Xiang ignored him, and he made suggestions to him with kindness at first. But for a person who thinks of himself as high, he will never learn to be humble. What's more, as a diner, you have absolutely the right to make suggestions.
But instead of appreciating it, people ridiculed themselves vigorously, how could such a person get his forgiveness?
Seeing that Xu Xiang was indifferent, he looked at Xie Tianbao with hope, grabbed his leg, and said bitterly: "Shopkeeper, I know it's wrong!" I will definitely listen carefully to the suggestions of our guests in the future! Don't fire me! I have an 80-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child! Forgive me! ”
Xie Tianbao was a little soft-hearted, Jiang Junsheng was not only arrogant, but the food he made was quite good, and it was also one of the signboards of his Tianbao Inn.
"Mo Lin, look......" At first, he did not hesitate to fire Jiang Junsheng because he thought that Xu Xiang was a noble son and did not dare to offend. Now that I know that Xu Xiang's identity is only a businessman, I don't want to fire Jiang Junsheng.
Xu Molin didn't have any sympathy at all, and said, "Brother, you listen to me!" ”
"Okay!" Xie Tianbao thought about it, as if he had made some difficult decision, and finally decided to dismiss Jiang Junsheng.
"Young Master Xu, why don't we go into the inner hall and talk?" Xu Molin said, "You finally came to Lingwu County, and you naturally want to do your best to be a landlord." ”
Xu Xiang nodded, and Jiang Tianbao welcomed them into a chic room in the inner hall, and instructed the shopkeeper to serve wine and food.
"Young Master Xu, why did you suddenly come to Lingwu County! I knew you were coming, so I went out of town to greet you! Xu Molin asked politely.
"How do you know me?" Xu Xiang asked with some curiosity, although he knew Xu Mosheng, but he was sure that he had never seen this Xu Molin.
"My brother's charcoal shop opened before, and you came to see you after a visit! It's just that you're in a hurry, and I haven't had time to talk to you yet! Xu Molin said.
"Xu Yuanwai doesn't have to be so polite, you also have a share in this Tianbao Inn?" Xu Xiang saw that he was in charge of dismissing Jiang Junsheng, so he asked guessingly.
"Where? I'm in the jewelry business. Xu Molin said, and then said to Xie Tianbao: "Brother, Young Master Xu has come to your inn, you have to entertain well." ”
Xie Tianbao hurriedly said: "That's nature!" That's nature! ”
Then the three of them chatted with each other, Xu Xiang then knew that the Xu family has three brothers and sisters, the eldest Xu Mosheng is doing restaurant business in Ningdu, and now he has added smokeless charcoal business, which can be regarded as a big businessman, the second married Xie Tianbao, this Tianbao Inn is also very famous in Linwu County, as for the third Xu Molin, who is doing jewelry business between Lingwu County and Ningdu, his financial resources are more than Xie Tianbao and Xu Mosheng combined.
Xu Xiang couldn't help but think of the "silk cloth menu" that he had just entered the inn, so he asked: "Shopkeeper Xie, I heard Xiao Er say that the silk cloth menu in your store was written by Miss Biao." This Miss Cousin, but Xu Yuanwai's daughter? ”
Xu Molin hurriedly said: "It was written by the little girl Xu Jiali." ”
"It's a good hand!" Xu Xiang praised.
"Young Master Xu praised it falsely!" Xu Molin said modestly.
"Xu Yuanwai, I have a reluctant request!"
"Young Master Xu, it's okay to say it directly!"
Xu Xiang said, "Can you ask Miss Xu to help me write a menu like this?" ”
Xu Molin was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No problem!" Another day, I asked the little girl to write it on silk cloth, and I personally sent it to Ningdu, how about it? ”
"Xu Yuanwai misunderstood! This menu of mine is quite different from that of Tempo Inn, it is not written in silk cloth! If Xu Yuanwai agrees, can you bring Miss Xu to my house as a guest? Xu Xiang hurriedly explained.
"No problem, next time I go to Ningdu, I will definitely take the little girl to visit Xu Mansion!"
"Why did Young Master Xu come to Lingwu County today?" Xu Molin asked again, "I heard from my brother that you have always disliked going out, and I was really surprised to see you today." ”
"I have a friend who has arrived in Lingwu County from Linhe City, and I am going to take him to Ningdu. I just happened to live at the Tianbao Inn. Xu Xiang explained.
"I see! Young Master Xu, which room is your friend in Tianbao Inn? I'll take you to meet him! Xie Tianbao said.
"Thank you shopkeeper, I've asked Xiao Er. My friend is out for a stroll and I don't know when I'll be back, so I'll wait for him! ”
"Patronizing and talking, this dish is going to be cold, Xu Gongzi came to taste this fish, this is a sign of Tianbao Inn, it is made by another chef!" Xu Molin said, pointing to one of the dishes similar to braised fish.
"Then I'll have to try it!" Xu Xiang smiled, picked up the chopsticks and tried it.
When the fish is eaten in the mouth, it is very fresh, and the taste is okay, but there is no salt taste.
"How?" Xie Tianbao asked expectantly, after all, in his eyes, being able to develop characters like fried chicken and barbecue still has a lot to say about the taste of food.
"Not bad!" Xu Xiang commented decently.
But he found a problem, people in this world seem to be reluctant to use salt to marinate fish, which is a very fishy ingredient, so it is difficult to taste it.
At this time, Xie Tianbao asked, "Young Master Xu, you said before that you should rub salt on the surface of the fish before making fish, and marinate it with ginger and other spices to remove the fishiness, is this true?" ”
In fact, he has also tasted Jiang Junsheng's barbecued fish, and he also feels that the fishy smell is a little strong, but for them who have never tasted barbecue, they don't care too much about these small problems, after all, the flaws are not hidden!
"That's true! Fish that has been removed from the fishy smell, whether it is grilled or steamed and braised, will taste several times higher. ”
"It's just, this salt...... The price is too high, and it is a bit cost-effective to use it to marinate fish. Xie Tianbao shook his head and said.
"Ginger and wine are used to remove the fish, and the reason why it is marinated with salt and other seasonings is to make the fish more flavorful. It's not like what we eat now, which has a taste on the surface but not much on the inside. ”
"I see!" Xie Tianbao showed a hint of abruptness.
