Chi Qiu is not an authentic foodie, he picked up a piece of oily chicken nuggets, put it in his mouth, and smelled a pungent fragrance, which made his appetite open immediately, and after being sent into his mouth, it was extremely smooth, oily but not greasy, and it was also a good dish, but he had experienced the baptism of the "foodie empire" in later generations, and there were few that could amaze him for this ancient dish. So after eating two pieces, he put down his chopsticks, picked up the water and wine in front of him and drank it, looking preoccupied.

"What, unappetizing?" This table is a big customer, and it is also a recognized shopkeeper in the town, and the sister-in-law does not say that she will accompany her, so she can come up with her signature dish, and she has to ask for a lip service and toast by the way.

If you want to say the shortcomings of this dish, in fact, Chi Qiu can't say it, after all, some processes are completely in the ingredients, material selection, and heat are not what the kitchen can achieve now, especially this practice, in fact, is a bit of the flavor of modern Cantonese cuisine, as for why it appears in the river, it may be a small rainbow of history, for rough northerners, the essence of southern cuisine, without the assessment of professional southern chefs, will always be a little tasteless, just like a Chinese restaurant in the United States, may eat a completely different fish-flavored shredded meat.

There's no point in being too picky. Chi Qiu won't say anything stupid, not to mention that Sister-in-law Hua is doing a good job.

Chi Qiu said leisurely: "No, it's delicious, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Chi Qiu's face is really wrinkled, today's mouth is a bit too "cheap", why did he come up with a "just ......"

Ai Baoer also said softly: "Just what? ”

Hearing this, what Chi Qiu thought in his heart, no one knows, really, the pit man, the others are also curious, especially Erhu, this is his shop, you actually say "just", isn't this a demolition?

Chi Qiu knew that the words were outspoken, and it was not easy to fool around if he didn't say that he was ugly, so he cleared his throat and said, "It's just that the production of this sesame oil chicken is very particular about raw materials and production processes." ”

"First of all, let's talk about this raw material, the chicken must be a selection of mountain captive steers, less than a year is the best, because only the free-range chickens eat wild food in the mountains to grow up, often run around, the meat taste is different from ordinary broilers."

As soon as these words came out, he ushered in waves of contemptuous eyes, and Chi Qiu, who saw it, felt furious in his heart, and his brain circuit turned, only to understand that there are no "broilers" in this world, and there are "chickens walking on the ground" everywhere. Can it be a chicken if you don't go?

It's just that for the sake of his big shopkeeper's face, everyone doesn't want to thin his face, but no one flatters him with a clear conscience.

Chi Qiu couldn't help blushing, and said: "Then there is the rigorous production process, there are two ways to make sesame oil chicken, steaming through water or pouring in hot soup, steaming through water The taste is refreshing and elastic, the taste is thick, and the original flavor is original; The hot water pours the taste is refreshing and tender, exuding a fresh fragrance. As for the heat, the general master can control it, it is best to be ripe, don't fully cook, so that the chicken bones have a trace of blood, so that the taste and texture of the chicken is the most tender. ”

"Oh? Really? Steaming over water? After all, Sister-in-law Hua often wanders around the kitchen, and she hears a little doorway.

"In fact, if you want to sesame oil chicken, you can also pour it with clear oil, put the oil pot below, use a stick to put the chicken on the pot, heat the hot oil steam up and below, pour oil on top, and pour it repeatedly, and it will be cooked until eight or nine minutes." Chi Qiu said and compared, he has a lot of experience with oily chicken, and this dish is also his specialty.

"Wait! Wait a minute. You mean, sesame oil chicken, directly splashed with oil? Sanlin asked curiously: "What a waste of oil!" ”

"Maybe, that's the other way around."

Generally speaking, the main sesame oil of sesame oil chicken is still in the dipping sauce, in this era, oil is not a thing that can be obtained everywhere, the cauldron is exploding, many merchants are reluctant, let alone just to make one or two chickens, although the oil will not be discarded once used, but this "extravagant" approach, even if the chef who is born to study new dishes will not open his mind to try, otherwise it is very likely to be dismissed.

Laymen look at the excitement, insiders listen to the doorway, unlike Da Zhuang and Ai Baoer, they will only drool, but this practice deeply touched the sister-in-law.

Ai Bao'er showed a hint of envy: "Hearing you say this, I think it's delicious." ”

"That's natural, but it's a bit oil-intensive, but if the store focuses on a signature dish, such as the signboard that hangs Yanhu Sesame Oil Chicken, everyone who comes in will definitely order one, and there is no waste." Chi Qiu talked eloquently, thinking of the Huazhou sesame oil chicken and yellow braised chicken rice that were all over the street in the past, this special business model, there is still a lot of room for development.

"Only make sesame oil chicken?" Nowadays, restaurants and wine shops do not have the concept of "signature dishes", and in contrast, the kind of street "brine" is relatively more in line with this method.

"If you only make one kind of chicken, you can't raise enough chickens at home, even if you only raise them for a year, even if you sell thirty chickens a day, you can't supply them." Erhu is still clear about the operation of the wine store, they have about fifty or sixty chickens in the yard, in case they may enter the store to eat sesame oil chicken, it is estimated that it will be out of stock in the first half of the year.

"So, I'm going to open a chicken farm."

"What?"

"Chicken farm?"

The words caused a thousand waves, and the pot exploded on the table.

"What are you surprised about, didn't I let you make a greenhouse downstream? That's the pig farm I prepared. ”

"What?"

"Pig farms?"

……

Everyone is confused, is it a chicken farm or a pig farm?

Chi Qiu waved his hand: "Let's eat and talk." ”

After half a quarter of an hour, everyone understood that Chi Qiu was worried that the supply of this lard would not be available, and he wanted to move a pig farm, and the chicken farm was just an appendage, since they were all raising pigs, why not raise some chickens?

"This pig breeding is at least three or five years!" Ran Dazhuang said worriedly.

"If you don't raise it now, there will really be no lard in three or five years, and you will have to wait for another three or five years." Chi Qiu's ideas are very advanced, in fact, he also feels a little bold, and the unpredictable classical society sometimes does not come true with perseverance

, really doing business, there are many difficulties, or take his Hennessy as an example, it took six full years, and it can be regarded as a recipe to make the taste required by Chi Qiu, but the weather in Wuyue is not the same as in the previous life.

It stands to reason that the climate of Turpan in the previous life will not change for hundreds of years, it is so hot every year, so much sunshine, as long as the grape yield is well managed, at least the quality and yield will be guaranteed, which is much more stable than that in France or Shandong.

But this is not the case with this Wuyue Continent, what was caused by the disaster thousands of years ago, and how long it will affect Chi Qiu I don't know, anyway, he only knows that when he was preparing for Hennessy, the acid rain came unexpectedly, and the Turpan grapes were extremely bleak for two consecutive years, so Chi Qiu's Hennessy workshop and cellar survived for two years. And after the weather improved, the people's enthusiasm for planting grapes was greatly reduced because they were afraid of repeated weather, and the loss of Chi Qiu was the fifth prince, if it was just an ordinary merchant, he might not be able to survive until the first batch of cellars were sold, and he went bankrupt.

If the merchant goes bankrupt and changes hands, the secret recipe will not be sold, or even if it is sold and hidden, it is impossible for the subsequent merchants to make pure Hennessy, at least how many years they have to study on their own to achieve the taste required by the pool. In this way, it is normal for time to drag on for more than ten or twenty years.

Chi Qiu is very envious of those traversers who make some inventions, and the whole country and nobles "donate" silver like crazy. Possibly? Even if you invent the "Jenny Loom Machine", within three months, you will have no cotton available, even if you have money and want to monopolize it, it is strange that there are unemployed weavers in the old textile mills who do not smash your factory.

Chi Qiu remembers that in "The Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full", the new loom caused turmoil, as if the problem could be solved, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, as an epoch-making product, if it appears out of thin air, it will face many problems. Dream on. Do you have a cotton origin? Let's not talk about whether Liaodong weather produces cotton or not, does cotton seed have grafting technology? You know, even if you find cotton seeds, a cotton peach at that time, estimated to be the size of your thumb, are you sure you can draw silk?

The British textile industry has also expanded little by little, after hundreds of years, how many wars have been fought, how many markets have been grabbed, how many pastures have been cultivated, and how many colonies have to be scavenged for raw materials to ensure uninterrupted production in their factories? Any leapfrog development simply cannot escape the constraints of the productive forces and the means of production, otherwise the current Wuyue would have been full of cars and airplanes flying in the sky. Didn't those predecessors know the principle of the steam engine? They could compose poetry, reform the law, and emancipate women, so why not invent the steam engine? It's not because you can't find the right steel for the container, the right parts for the valve, and the right tool for the screw.

These Chi Qiu have already tried, and the final conclusion is that it is impossible to make a steam engine in the desert, not even a hot air balloon, even if it is made, Chi Qiu will not dare to sit anyway.

Xinjiang cotton, Chi Qiu also planted a lot, sorry, no, the entire desert is sparsely populated, saturated every minute, even if you want to

Sold all over the world, when your cloth goes out of the Hexi corridor, it is also more expensive than silk. It is even less cost-effective to transport cotton peaches to produce cloth in Yanzhou.

However, raising pigs, Chi Qiu still dares, after all, pork can be eaten, as long as swine fever is avoided.

"Are you really going to raise pigs for soap?" Ai Bao'er looked incredulous and quietly pushed him.

"Of course, this is just talking, but now it's just talking, let's start the soap factory first, everything is difficult at the beginning, first through this workshop, let's build the personnel framework, it's not difficult to do anything in this world, it's the most difficult talent." Chi Qiu looked around, the big guy didn't understand Chi Qiu's words, but Chinese is a bit beneficial, even if the words are varied, he can still understand it.

Several people lowered their heads at once, obviously they did not regard themselves as talents, but more as miscellaneous foremen.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a little wrong, Sister-in-law Hua shook her head lightly, and said in her heart: I better not get involved in these things. As he spoke, he found an opportunity to go downstairs.

Many people present bowed their heads and did not speak, Chi Qiu suddenly understood why every successful person needs it, in fact, the henchman is more of a blind worship or absolute trust in the protagonist, believing that according to his ideas, he can get rich, make a fortune, and soar.

Of course, you can also use your authority to suppress certain people to help you do these things without confidants.

The understanding and trust of these people in front of them for Chi Qiu has obviously not reached the point where they blindly worship. It's a bit disappointing, but it doesn't make a difference to me.

This little setback is nothing, and Chi Qiu is determined to try to change it with his "three-inch tongue".

So I put a chopstick dish in everyone's bowl, and slowly gestured and said: "The world makes money all the way to business, which is unpredictable, but even if it is farming, it is also dependent on the sky to eat, and it is never an easy thing. ”

"We people have read some books and know Braille, if you have any instructions, it is better to tell them that we people have no brains, we have a lot of strength, and when the time comes, you will do whatever you want." Ran Dazhuang said this neatly and beautifully, but in fact, he still threw the things he followed to others, and he couldn't think in his heart: My family is about ten mouthfuls, just wait for me to farm and support my family, and do something in your hands when the farm is slack, and make some extra money.

Tian Jing also pouted: "I just know how to count." ”

Chi Qiu smiled: "Don't worry, let's do it while we watch, the most important thing now is to build the soap factory, and when everything is normal, you will have nothing to do, and when the time comes, I will let Ai Baoer and Ran Xiaozhuang take a few more children to watch the soap factory." ”

"What, you don't want us anymore?"

"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" Tian Jing's words are very inappropriate, but they are also that kind of mood.

Sanlin felt that it was inappropriate, and pinched Tian Jing, but Chi Qiu was not angry, but talked about the soap workshop

For example, Ran Dazhuang is responsible for making the walls of the workshop inside and outside firm, so that it is airtight, and the roads connecting the town must also be kept clean.

Ran Xiaozhuang is responsible for taking a few dolls to collect pigskins, and as for the number of pigskins per day, Zhang Kuan, the treasurer.

Sanlin is responsible for the production of tables, chairs and benches, if there is any doubt about the size, you can find three or five people to vote together, and the minority obeys the majority.

In addition to helping Ran Dazhuang to manage the workers, Erhu also has to go downstream with Tian Jing to find a suitable tidal flat, which is more suitable for the construction of pigsty and chicken farms, the distance between the two should not be too far, if you want to build the road to the main road, it can not be too difficult to repair the road, and calculate the labor and materials required for it, report it to Ran Dazhuang's staff, and then discuss it by everyone and make a decision by Ai Baoer.

Ai Baoer is responsible for inspecting the finished product and urging the people who do the work to standardize the product, especially Sanlin has to make suitable abrasives as soon as possible, or you can do it yourself, or you can find an old carpenter in the town to do it, and the fee is reasonable, but the finished product needs to be checked by Sanlin.

One by one, one by one, arrange good people to supervise, and achieve the state of finance, supervision, and tripartite assistantship, everyone listens to the Tao, and the confused mind of the day is instantly clearer.

"I'm afraid that's the problem you've had that day."

Everyone looked at each other, indeed, Chi Qiu was not there for a day, they were like headless flies, not to mention passing the buck to each other, they didn't even know what to blame.

"As for how to place the finished product, how to store it, how to separate it from the water when it rains, whether the storage location is good to load and drop off the goods, the storage of this pig skin, and how to put it, there will always be no pig skin to open the fire and boil it once, it must be prepared, so do you need to dig a cellar for storage? Now it's cold, and the pigskin can be left there for a few days, but what about the spring next year? Is it necessary to introduce cold spring water to ensure that the cellar can also be stored in the summer, I think you can all give some advice, it is best to ask Master Zhang Laosan, if there is a treasure in the family, a few gentlemen think about it, design a few sets of plans, and then let Ai Baoer make a decision. If I'm not here, Sister Bao'er, you can let everyone vote by secret ballot, don't sign the note, first summarize the plan into one, two, three, three, it's not difficult for everyone to just write a number, right? ”

Sister-in-law Hua was standing at the door at this time and listened attentively, hesitated, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that this small cellar would be so exquisite, Erhu, learn more, this big shopkeeper is really knowledgeable." As he spoke, he glanced at Erhu.

Everyone saw that she was holding a fragrant sesame oil chicken in her hand, and they all got out of the way.

"What are you?"

Sister-in-law Hua said: "This is the method of using the big shopkeeper of the pool, I tried it, everyone tasted it." ”

Everyone was amazed, and Chi Qiu couldn't help but be impressed, he had heard Bao Mei'er say that there were mostly women in this old town, and the most capable were two Dong Eniang and a flower sister-in-law, just ordering, and I didn't see it, I always felt that compared with Dong Eniang, the flower sister-in-law was still a little worse.

Now Chi Qiu is understood

This admiration is definitely not groundless.

Fang Cai Chi Qiu's words made everyone have a new understanding of this Chi Da shopkeeper, and the words of the sister-in-law were very eye-catching, and they all knew that Chi Qiu was really knowledgeable, and they couldn't help but respect in their hearts, and they were waiting for Chi Qiu to hold a chopstick first.

People are sophisticated, people are sophisticated, that is, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even if the feud is not big, at this moment this pioneer is a "respect". Well, grab a chopstick and take a bite.

It's so fragrant.

I have to say that this sister-in-law is also exquisite, Chi Qiu's words, she turned her head and pondered, and picked the most suitable one, and Chi Qiu was full of praise.

Everyone smelled the incense, their eyes straightened, and waited for Chi Qiu's sentence: It's really fragrant.

One person, one chopstick, and one whole chicken were quickly wiped out. Sister-in-law Hua also rolled up her sleeves, quickly ate a pair of chopsticks, and ordered the cook to come up and eat a bite, you must know that in order to show off, they haven't tasted that taste yet.

"Your method is really good, and it doesn't take much effort, a pot of oil can be used for a while." Sister-in-law Hua asked the cook, "How is it?" ”

The chef is the widow of the third family, and now she is the concubine of the second tiger, chubby, and has always been the head of the family, nodding: "Yes, it's okay, and it's easy to cook." ”

Indeed, this oily chicken skin, as long as the oil is boiling, three or five spoonfuls down, it is basically enough, compared to steaming, water-separatoring, it is indeed much easier to control, after all, the ancient stove, the stove fire depends on firewood, and it is not easy to grasp the heat in general small restaurants and homes. A family workshop like theirs is naturally not as good as a big restaurant, and it can be divided into stoves and fires.

This is not the law of true fragrance, it is indeed true fragrance, speaking of this sesame oil chicken also requires that it must be a fat and thin balanced chicken, not too old, not tender, can not be captive, but can not run all over the mountain.

The chicken is too old, it looks greasy, too tender, it can't taste out, the captive-bred meat is not fragrant enough, it is not hooking, it runs all over the mountain, the meat is firm, and it is not smooth and tender enough in the mouth.

Chi Qiu saw that Sister-in-law Hua had a heart, and the chef of her family was also there, and also said the reason for the selection of this chicken, and everyone suddenly realized that they were all people who asked for food and clothing, where would they care about this, and now that they heard what Chi Qiu said, they couldn't help but nod.

"According to what you say, this chicken can be sold for half a year, although it is small, it is not expensive, and the cost is low." Sister-in-law Hua is a shopkeeper, and she knows these things, but when she thinks of the dilapidated old town, even if this sesame oil chicken is cheaper, there are still not many people to consume.

"Don't think about it, just this business now, it will only be sold in a few days, and this chicken will grow into an old hen." The third brother and sister are telling the truth, the two chickens are relatively old, first, the locals think that the local chicken or the old hen is fat enough, really, and secondly, they are not specialized in sesame oil chicken restaurant, but they are not doing well, it is a signboard, most of the people who enter the restaurant want to eat tea in front of the widow of the sister-in-law, and get a little cheap Lord, even if there are some banquets, the number of times is not much. And you don't necessarily have to order this dish at the table.

"In fact, you can make sesame oil chicken rice, a chicken is cut into several portions, served with rice or topping, steamed buns, you can go to Taolin to sell." Ji Qiu gave advice

。

"Can their homeless people afford to eat chicken fat rice?"

"Sister-in-law Hua might as well calculate, a chicken, divided into four parts, with two steamed buns, a few green vegetables, fifteen wen to eat or not?"

"Eat, eat." A half-year-old chicken is only a dozen wen in total, divided into four parts, it is sixty wen, sister-in-law Hua's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood.

"You can also learn to make braised boiling, that six dollars can also be full, high and low matching, thrifty by people, a small car pushed over at noon, sold back, money in hand, if you do a little bit of exquisiteness, build a small shed in the peach forest, make a stove, people go, make a fire, a mouthful of hot oil, a hot stew, sesame oil chicken in the store first, where to drench the oil, not only to give diners a hot heat, but also to arouse gluttony, there will always be someone to buy, a few a day is not a problem."

"Yes, yes, yes." Sister-in-law Hua clapped her hands and realized it: "Okay, good, this is a good idea, those chickens in our yard will become old hens if you don't eat them, and your father and mother won't eat more, this method is good." After saying that, I was very excited, and I couldn't wait to do it immediately.

Sister-in-law Hua has always been known for her intelligence in the town, at least among those diners who want to get into the wrong, it is not good to have a little wisdom and concentration, and now Chi Qiu said a few words, which made her lose her temper, and they all felt that this meal was quite exciting.

Before leaving, Sister-in-law Hua said that she would not charge any money, and learned other people's skills, how could she collect the money for a meal.
