Chapter 87: Preparing for the opening
Su Qing gently pinched Song Xinshu's chin and said, "You little mouth, you don't spare people at any time." ”
Song Xinshu pursed his lips, but he was happy in his heart, and after a while, the two of them skewered all the ingredients.
Ah Jay was greedy for freshness, so he also came to the kitchen to watch, pointed to the fish and shrimp that had been washed and asked, "Madam, do you also want to blanch the water, it won't be a whole fish blanched, right?" ”
Song Xinshu said with a smile: "Of course not, these are used to make fish balls and shrimp balls." ”
"Fish balls and shrimp balls?" Ah Ya tilted his head and looked at the fish in the basin, and there were always many new terms in Madame's mouth, which she had never heard before.
Song Xinshu deboned the fish, shaved out the fish, put it on the board, and used a kitchen knife to finely chop it into a meat puree.
Fortunately, she used to love to cook by herself, and she still remembers the recipe of many dishes, otherwise she wouldn't even have this bit of craftsmanship.
Song Huaishu has been watching from the side, silently remembering the practices of these things in his heart.
After chopping the meat puree, Song Xinshu added some seasoning to it, and then stirred it in one direction.
She struggled to remember what spices to put in the paste, but she was too focused to look up, and when she straightened up, she found that the small kitchen was crowded with shop mates, all of whom were sticking their necks to see what she was doing.
"I'm embarrassed to do it when you look at me like this, go do your work, and I'll give you a taste when it's ready!"
"Shopkeeper, you are the most versatile shopkeeper on this street, you see that other companies envy our business, and your eyes are red with envy." A guy said loudly.
The other guys nodded one after another, chatting with other guys during the break, and the most heard was to praise the business of the Subei Tea House, and some even wanted to quit their original owners and come to work in the Subei Tea House.
Song Xinshu smiled and drove the guys to work, she knew how the merchants around her looked at Subei Tea House, but the business was too good, it would inevitably cause jealousy from other families, just beg not to cause any trouble.
Song Xinshu stirred the fish puree, and made the shrimp paste in the same way, then let Su Qing boil a pot of boiling water, use a spoon to make the meat puree into the shape of balls, and put it into the pot.
After the water boiled, Song Xinshu scooped up the fish balls, and then turned around to adjust the sauce.
Thinking that she would be able to eat skewers in a while, Song Xinshu couldn't help but feel a little excited, and after adjusting the sauce, she looked at the table full of ingredients, and always felt that there was something missing.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, so many ingredients, just enough to make a hot pot!
Just do it, Song Xinshu asked Zhou Sheng to find a big pot and take a lot of spices, dried chili peppers or something.
She stood in front of the kitchen table and looked at these miscellaneous spices, although they were still a little short of the hot pot base, but they could try to make them.
The kitchen is not very ventilated, Song Xinshu just put the chili peppers into the oil pot, and the oil smoke suddenly overflowed the entire kitchen, and Ah Ya ran out of the kitchen with smoke, standing at the door and coughing.
Song Xinshu had already prepared, holding a cloth around his mouth and nose, but he also felt the extremely choking smell of chili oil smoke in his throat, and coughed twice.
Su Qing heard her cough a few times, and the ninja walked over with a choking feeling, then pushed her out of the room, and then kept stir-frying with a spatula himself.
When the smoke was not so big for a while, Song Xinshu walked in and saw that Su Qinglu's face was red outside, so he took a glass of cold water and handed it to him.
Su Qing raised his head and drank the water in the cup, watched Song Xinshu add various ingredients to it, and finally added a few large bowls of water into it, covered the pot and let it boil.
"Lady, what are you doing, what is this soup used for?"
Song Xinshu thought about how to explain it for a while, and said: "This kind of soup can be used to cook some raw ingredients and cook them."
After that, you can take it out and eat it, it is delicious and delicious, and you can know it after a while. ”
Su Qing thought of the choking taste of chili just now, and he really couldn't imagine what it would be like to put the ingredients in the pot.
"Is this what you used to eat?"
"No, if you eat too much, you will get acne, your body will be dehydrated, you have to put on a lot of masks to get better, if you meet your aunt ......" Speaking of this, Song Xinshu realized that he had said too much, and he had leaked his mouth.
Maybe I was so happy today that I didn't even think about saying these words......
Sure enough, Su Qing said with an incomprehensible expression: "Lady, what are you talking about, what aunt?" ”
Song Xinshu laughed awkwardly twice and said, "It's nothing, it's just a relative of mine, I'll take a look if the water is boiling." ”
Song Xinshu opened the lid of the pot, and sure enough, the water was already boiling, so she put the soup base into a large clay pot, drove it on a small earthen stove in the courtyard, lit a fire and continued to burn.
Then she asked the guys to move all these ingredients into the yard, thinking that next time they made it, they must be in the yard, and the smell in the small kitchen could not be dispersed, and it was still very choking.
After the fire boiled, Song Xinshu put the raw ingredients into the pot, and then called the guys over and asked them to taste the skewers they made first.
The guys gathered around the table, looking at the assortment of food and a few large bowls of dipping sauce, not knowing what to eat.
Song Xinshu picked up a string of fish balls, wrapped them in a thick soup in a bowl, and then put them in his mouth.
After a long time, he finally ate the fish balls, and his happiness rushed to Tianlinggai, Song Xinshu said excitedly: "Don't just look at it, taste it?" ”
The guys followed Song Xinshu's appearance, and also picked up the cooked skewers and dipped them in seasonings to eat, Song Xinshu looked at them expectantly, wanting to get a pertinent evaluation, so that they could better improve.
The guys and Song Xinshu often evaluate new products like this, so if they have anything to say, Song Xinshu deliberately took a pen and paper and wrote down their opinions one by one.
The tastes of the people of Jinling City are very different from modern ones, and you still have to listen to the opinions of local residents, after all, you are doing business here, although it is difficult to adjust the taste, but you still have to try to follow the public taste.
The guys talked a little bit about it, and at this time the things cooked in the hot pot were also cooked, and the spicy taste also wafted to all parts of the yard.
Song Xinshu opened the lid, and the taste became even stronger, and the guys who love spicy food couldn't help but swallow their saliva, waiting for the shopkeeper to speak and taste.
Song Xinshu asked everyone to take chopsticks and go to the pot to put their favorite ingredients.
Now that it's autumn, a few mouthfuls of hot pot have become warm.
The hot pot was well received by everyone, and Song Xinshu was satisfied with a string of shrimp balls and went into it to eat.
After closing at night, the guys went to sleep after cleaning up, and Song Xinshu was still in the kitchen looking at the opinions of the guys who had written down during the day, thinking about how to improve it.
After Su Qing closed the door of the hall, he came to the backyard and saw Song Xinshu standing in the kitchen, still studying the spices by the faint candlelight.
The candlelight was about to burn out, and the light became very faint, Su Qing walked in, took a candle and lit it again, and said, "Don't burn your eyes when you develop new products, otherwise your eyes will be sore tomorrow." ”
Song Xinshu's eyes were still staring at the seasonings in front of him, and said, "There are still a few things to finish, you wait for me for a while, and it will be ready immediately." ”
Su Qing moved the candle in his hand away, and Song Xinshu found that the lights around him had dimmed, and he couldn't read the words on the paper clearly, so he raised his head.
"Husband, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first, and I'll go upstairs in a while."
Su Qing approached Song Xinshu, she smelled the familiar smell on his body, buried her head directly in his arms and said, "Husband, if you can't get these spices, I won't be able to sleep well." ”
Su Qing stroked her hair and said, "I knew you would be like this, you come to the yard, I have something for you." ”
Song Xinshu put down the things in his hand and followed Su Qing to the courtyard, only to see a pot on the small earthen stove, which was full of red hot pot soup.
"Aren't these finished, how can they still be there?" Song Xinshu said in surprise.
"Before you brought it out today, I left some in the kitchen, thinking that you only cared about listening to what others said during the day, and didn't eat properly, what you want to eat, I'll put it in the pot for you."
Song Xinshu sat next to the stove, smelling the spicy smell of hot pot, which warmed his heart from his nose to his heart.
"It's hard for you to think so, I really didn't eat well during the day, and now I'm hungry!"
Su Qing smiled and said, "You are my lady, I am naturally full of you in my heart." Su Qing concentrated on the ingredients in the pot, especially the fish balls and shrimp balls that Song Xinshu liked.
On weekdays, it is rare to hear Su Qing express his intentions so bluntly, so he remembered every word of what he said.
After a while, the hot pot boiled, and Song Xinshu couldn't wait to pick up a fish ball, put it in his mouth and chew it.
Eating hot pot in the courtyard with a slight cool breeze, and the husband next to him is still serving himself vegetables, which is really the happiest thing in life.
Song Xinshu saw that Su Qing was also fishing for something in the pot to eat, and said with some surprise: "Husband, can't you eat spicy, now I see that you eat it very fragrant?" ”
Su Qing looked at Song Xinshu and said, "It's not that I've been with you for a long time, and I can even eat some chili peppers, but this thing smells really fragrant, so people can't help but move their chopsticks." ”
Song Xin smiled happily, the two have been together for a long time, and many times even the movements can be synchronized, and there is more and more tacit understanding.
After the meal, she added another cup of iced milk tea, Song Xinshu touched her round belly, feeling too lazy to move around, and finally Su Qing pulled her back to the room.
Song Xinshu was very satisfied with today's life, nestled in Su Qing's arms, thinking about the opening of the new store, and fell asleep after a while.
At this time, Song Huaishu was still in the new house, staring at the decoration, for fear that there would be a little mistake, and it would open in a few days, and it would be bad if there was anything wrong.
