Chapter 44: Snow falls

When the chef in the kitchen saw Shen Qingqing coming, Zhen Qian first said a few words and then moved out of the way.

The back kitchen of this Shilixiang Restaurant is really different, all kinds of spices are available, and there is a guy who specializes in burning fires, but Shen Qing actually has an idea in his heart.

Sauerkraut fish and boneless chicken feet are the most time-saving and labor-saving, and they are delicious. Presumably, the people in this place have never seen or eaten it.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing asked for a freshwater fish, which has few bones and delicious meat, which is most suitable for making sauerkraut fish.

Shen Qingqing first applied salt to the fish, and poured some rice wine, on the one hand, to remove the fish, on the other hand, to make the fish more firm, when she made this first step, the chef behind was praised again and again: "At first glance, I am an insider." ”

This is not enough, after marinating for a while, Shen Qingqing cut the fish meat into the shape of a butterfly and put a little starch on the side, and all the big and small spines in the fish have been picked out.

Put hot oil in the pot, mince the sauerkraut, put it in and add water, salt and other spices into it, then put the fish into it and blanch it, and finally use the hot oil and peppercorns to water the fish, and the sauerkraut fish will be ready after a while.

Boneless chicken feet are even simpler, the trouble is to give away the bones of this chicken feet, but Shen Qingqing has skills and experience, and she shaved out all the bones of four or five chicken feet in half a burnt incense.

Mash the chili pepper into the pot and put the chicken feet with the missing bones in it, and the boneless chicken feet are ready.

Those chefs were already very impressed when they saw that Shen Qingqing was cooking neatly and clearly, but when they tasted the taste, the chef's eyes lit up: "I have never eaten this fish without spines and this chicken feet without bones, and the taste is still so delicious." ”

"Really?" Before Zhen Qian could speak, the little guy who delivered the food said. "Boss someone asked for a fish and a chicken feet."

Isn't that right1

Zhen Qian patted his head: "Serve this sauerkraut fish and boneless chicken feet." ”

Using the taste buds of diners to identify the quality of these two dishes is the most correct way.

Shen Qingqing washed his hands, wiped them clean with a dry cloth, and went to the lobby before to see the reaction of the diners.

When the diners saw the fish and chicken feet coming up, they were stunned for a moment and then tasted it, and then slapped the table and shouted: "The delicacy is really delicious, this taste is only because it is in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world." ”

The other diners were attracted by this exaggerated cry and tasted a few bites, and in a short time the sauerkraut fish and boneless chicken feet became the popular products of Shilixiang Restaurant, which was simply endless.

Zhen Qian looked at this scene, and said to Shen Qingqing while touching his mustache, his tone was extremely urgent: "Sister Qingqing, let's go inside and talk." ”

Shen Qingqing is not a fool, he knows what kind of idea this Zhen Qian has.

Sure enough, as soon as he fell, Zhen Qian said: "Sister Qingqing, I see that your two dishes are selling so well, otherwise you will sell me the secret recipes of these two dishes?" ”

Before Shen Qingqing could speak, Zhen Qian stretched out five fingers and put them in front of her: "I bid fifty taels for the secret recipe for this dish." ”

Fifty taels? These two dishes are a hundred taels.

This one hundred taels is also a large amount for a person like Shen Qingqing, who is already considered rich, and she does not pass on the secret recipes of these two dishes to Zhen Qian, Zhen Qian will also ask the chef to study it, and after a long time, he can study it, and teach him without any loss to himself.

Shen Qingqing stood up and smiled on his face: "Okay, since the boss is so sincere, I will sell you the secret recipe for these two dishes for one hundred taels of silver." “

The silver ticket of one hundred taels was carefully placed in Shen Qingqing's lined pocket, and he bought some pig's trotters and some small snacks from the town.

When he returned home, Shen Qingqing felt that his whole footsteps were floating, and this one hundred taels of silver was an epoch-making significance for Shen Qingqing.

Humming a song, Shen Qingqing marinated the pig's trotters, put the snacks on the plate, and just waited for the little beans to come home and feast on them.

When Xiao Douding returned to the door, he smelled the fragrance and sat down in front of the dining table after putting down his schoolbag: "This meal is really fragrant, I was hungry before I reached the door." ”

"Eat it when you're hungry, this is specially bought for Haohao." Shen Qingqing said as he put a pig's trotter on the plate of Xiaodouding.

Just as Little Douding was about to speak, both of them looked out of the window, only to see that the snow began to fall outside, and the snow became heavier and heavier, and finally it was like a feather.

After a while, all the mountains and rivers of Anning Village were covered with snow, and this snow was two days at a time, and when the weather was clear, it was even colder.

This winter, in the middle of winter, it is still swaggering.

In the winter, there is nothing to do in the fields, and everything seems to be quiet, and it is leisurely, and it is like walking slowly.

And Shen Qingqing's scarf business is even better, and Master Liu has a few more sales channels, and just with the current few village women, it can't be supplied.

Helplessly, Shen Qingqing went to invite a few village women from the neighboring village to help, and her reputation had already spread all over the world, so when she asked those village women, they all agreed very well.

In less than half a month, the scarves they made have begun to be supplied in a steady stream, just like in the past, Shen Qingqing went to Master Liu's mansion to deliver glutinous rice dumplings, and Master Liu took out an account book and handed it to her: "This is the account book from these days, the two of us are doing business together, and it is better to be clear about this aspect of things." ”

Yes, that's the kind of person who does business.

Shen Qingqing took the account book, and when he first looked at it, he frowned.

It turns out that this ancient method of bookkeeping uses a four-corner account, which is densely packed and dazzling, not to mention that a slight mistake is a mistake.

Shen Qingqing had just turned two pages, and he felt that his eyes were spent.

"How?" Master Liu looked at something wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Shen Qingqing shook his head and put down the account book: "Master Liu, have we always used this method when we keep accounts?" ”

"yes." Master Liu's hand was on top of the teacup, not understanding what she meant by asking. "It's not just us, it's everybody who keeps their accounts in this way."

Shen Qingqing almost forgot that in this era, people still use traditional bookkeeping methods, but this seems too laborious.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing took a pen and paper and wrote it out in a simple bookkeeping method, and when he had just written for half an hour, Master Liu became curious and approached.

Shen Qingqing explained to him some ways to read modern bookkeeping methods, and Master Liu also learned quickly, and he saw it clearly after a while.

His hand touched the ledger: "This is good, this is much easier and more convenient than before." You don't know that when I stayed up late to read the ledger, I felt like my eyes were about to go blind. ”

"Yes, this calculation method is relatively simple, and we can all use this method in the future."

After changing the bookkeeping method, Master Liu led Shen Qingqing to see the scarf woven by the embroidered lady.

Master Liu's family has a big business, and it is the easiest to have a few embroidery girls in his hands.

Shen Qingqing taught the embroidery girl how to weave a scarf, after all, the embroidery girl is a professional and much more delicate than those village women who made it themselves.

"Not bad." Shen Qingqing nodded very satisfied. "These scarves are even better than the ones I knit, and if we sell them, we can definitely sell them for a higher price."

Master Liu touched his beard and smiled from ear to ear: "That's nature, that's nature, Qingqing girl, our road to wealth has just begun." ”

Over the past few days, Master Liu has been very satisfied with Shen Qingqing, and he has a clear view on the account book, and he did not bully her because he was a widow.

Shen Qingqing also has some understanding of Master Liu's temperament, and the two of them cooperate very happily.

When Shen Qingqing was about to say something, he saw that a sudden gust of wind blew and opened the window, and it was snowing densely outside.

The snow was so heavy that it was like goose feathers pouring down from the sky, and in less than half an hour the heavens and the earth were covered in silver.

Shen Qingqing and Master Liu couldn't help but look into the distance: "This snow scene is a good sign." ”

When the snow is heavy and the weather is getting colder, wouldn't their scarves and boots sell better?

After talking about some details, Shen Qingqing took the backpack and returned to the village, after all, no one wanted to suffer outside in this cold weather. But when I just returned home, I saw that the village women with silk scarves had already gone to Shen Qingqing's door.

Shen Qingqing thought something was wrong and hurriedly caught up: "What? But what happened? ”

I saw that some of the village women had fish in their hands, some had meat, and some simply had some cotton. Seeing Shen Qingqing is smile, he couldn't help but smile: "Alas, Qingqing girl, where do you want to go, this scarf business has added a lot of silver taels to each of our families, what accidents can we have." ”

"We think about this cold day, and you are tired every day, so we come to cook a hearty meal for your family, so that you can rest and rest."

Although the village women were not good at words, they all smiled like flowers, and their faces were not beautiful but they were extremely honest.

Shen Qingqing's heart felt warm as soon as she moved, and then opened the kitchen door: "Yes, today is to let me see the good skills of all the aunts and aunts, and I, Shen Qingqing, have eaten this meal for nothing." ”
