After being busy all day, due to the lack of manpower, Zhang Cheng and Shishi had to come to help, which made me feel like a prostration!

Due to the lack of raw materials, the store had to be closed early. According to Zhang Cheng's instructions, Li Chengde posted a notice in a conspicuous position at the gate!

For the sake of manpower, Zhang Cheng hurriedly found Li Chengde and said, "Chengde, how is the recruitment matter?" ”

Seeing that the new owner was in a hurry, Li Chengde also said with a sad face: "Back to the owner, this man will not be able to recruit for a while." Seeing that the owner frowned, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, you are in urgent need of manpower, and the villain has a way, but..."

"Just what? Say! Zhang Cheng saw that Li Chengde wanted to speak and stopped, and asked urgently.

"It's just that... Those are all villain relatives..."Li Chengde said with a twist.

"Relatives?"

"Character, how's it going?" Zhang Cheng asked in a tight voice.

"Don't worry, these are poor relatives, honest, wooden, all of them are croppers!" Li Chengde patted his chest and said.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, in this case, things will be taught to you, the rules that should be there must be explained clearly, if there is a problem, you are the only one who asks!" ”

After hearing that the owner agreed, Li Chengde opened his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, the owner!" ”

After the manpower matter was solved, Zhang Cheng went to the back kitchen again and found Li Xiangyun.

Seeing that Li Xiangyun was already preparing the soybean milk and flour for making fritters for tomorrow in advance, Zhang Cheng was very satisfied.

Li Xiangyun, who was making a face, looked up and found that the new owner was standing at the door, so he asked, "Zhang Gongzi, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned, and when he saw Li Xiangyun asking himself, he said, "That, where are the beef I asked you to buy?" “

"Beef? Because the number of children is large, the weather is a little hot now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to save it, so I only bought 100 catties back. Li Xiangyun wiped the sweat on his head and explained to Zhang Cheng.

touched his chin and said to himself, "A hundred catties, well, I'm afraid it won't be enough tomorrow, no, you have to be prepared with both hands, otherwise it will be too late like today to lose your reputation." ”

Thinking of this, he said to Li Xiangyun: "If you are free for a while, go and buy a few hundred catties back." ”

"Buy a few hundred pounds more? Now that the weather is so hot, and the owner buys so much, if the meat is spoiled, how can it be born? Li Xiangyun was very surprised to buy so much beef, and the problem of not being able to preserve beef in the hot weather made her very worried.

"There's no need to worry about this, you just do what I say!" Zhang Cheng is confident.

In fact, as early as when Zhang Cheng and Shishi were shopping, they found that there was a Taoist temple behind this bustling street. Zhang Cheng accidentally discovered that there was a special place for dealing with medicinal residues at the back of this temple, and Zhang Cheng was very curious, so he found saltpeter on the residues of these medicinal residues. Then I remembered that the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple actually have alchemy, and saltpeter is a must in the general alchemy formula. Since you have saltpeter, you can make ice, and since you have ice, you can make an ice cellar, and with ice you can store food, and you can keep it for a long time without spoiling.

Thinking of the ice cellar, Zhang Cheng asked Li Xiangyun again, "Xiangyun, is there a cellar here?" “

"Yes, Childe asked what this is for?" Li Xiangyun asked.

"Take me to see it."

After looking at Zhang Cheng and nodding, he put down the items in his hand and led Zhang Cheng to the firewood room in the backyard.

After Zhang Cheng got out of the cellar, he was taken aback and immediately smiled, it turned out that the area of this cellar was really large, and it was more than 600 square meters. This is good news for Zhang Cheng, such a large storage type, after putting ice cubes into an ice cellar, even in winter, you can eat summer vegetables.

After Zhang Cheng got out of the cellar, he returned to the kitchen and said to Li Xiangyun on the side: "I'll teach you some new dishes today, look at them carefully." ”

Li Xiangyun's eyes lit up, she had long been looking forward to the owner's new dishes, but in ancient times, this craft was not allowed to be learned without permission, this is a rule, after all, it involves the issue of livelihood. Therefore, seeing that the new owner plans to teach her new dishes, how can Li Xiangyun not be excited, and he is secretly grateful in his heart.

Zhang Cheng skillfully cut the steak into thumb-sized pieces, slapped them into 1 and a half diameter round slices with a knife one by one, then cut them a few times with a knife, and then trimmed the meat, put the steak into the marinade made of onion juice and rice wine one by one, and dragged it off, took out the marinade for about a quarter of the incense time, and then dragged it with egg paste.

Then the hot oil pan was fried on both sides until golden brown, and the steak in the oil pan was fragrant and scattered in the air, and Li Xiangyun on the side looked at it intently, for fear that he would miss it. When it is about eight to nine medium rare, it is poured into a pot and topped with soy sauce and homemade marinade, garnished with cucumber slices, lettuce and some broccoli.

Zhang Cheng picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, "Well, it's good, the texture is tough and tender, and the dry fragrance is strong." Then he took a pair of chopsticks and gave them to Li Xiangyun, and motioned for her to take a piece and taste it.

When she put it in her mouth, Li Xiangyun swore that although the beef was difficult to eat, at least she had eaten it, and it was nothing more than two kinds, one was fragrant but tasteless, and the other was smeared with a little salt, and she thought it was delicious at that time. And now she felt that the beef in her mouth was something she had never tasted before, and it was very delicious.

"How does it feel?" Zhang Cheng put down his chopsticks, although he was very confident in the steak grains he made, he was still a little nervous.

"It's delicious, Xiangyun has never eaten such delicious beef, the beef is crispy and soft, the juice is thick, crispy and crispy, and the bite is full." Li Xiangyun commented very unhesitantly.

Seeing Li Xiangyun's comment, the trace of worry in his heart was finally put down. Today's steak is not called steak but should be called beef cubes, because there is no knife and fork, so Zhang Cheng can only cut it by hand to the size of a thumb to facilitate the consumption of guests.

Later, Zhang Cheng successively taught good dishes, of course, stir-fry series, such as: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, lettuce with garlic, mushroom greens, shredded potatoes with green peppers, braised eggplant in oil, scrambled eggs with leeks and so on.

Anyway, Zhang Cheng also knew that there was actually no stir-fry in ancient China, and the basic cooking methods before the Six Dynasties were similar to those in Europe today. Stir-fried food did not exist until the Song Dynasty, and its early rise period, only existed in the Song capital Bianjing now Kaifeng, and it is the first unique activity of wine shops and restaurants, and outsiders can not taste it at all, and it was not until later that it slowly became popular.

Therefore, with these stir-fried dishes that everyone can do in modern times, the rise of Yueyue Lou is certain, and there is also the back hand of steak, it is difficult for the restaurant not to be popular.

After finishing these, Zhang Cheng was very concerned and instructed: "Xiangyue, rest early, get up early tomorrow, don't exhaust your body." ”

Li Xiangyue has not heard such intimate words for a long time, since her husband's death, no man has cared so much about herself, her heart is full of emotion, but when she thinks of her identity as a widow, her heart feels uncomfortable.

This dish is there, of course, there must be wine, how can there be no wine in the restaurant, Zhang Cheng has drunk the wine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is tasteless, just like the orange soda with a little alcohol content that he drank when he was a child, two words "very light!" "We have to find a way to improve, as a popular restaurant at any time, the wine must have characteristics.

So Zhang Cheng instructed Li Chengde to find some tools, make a simple distillation pot and turn it into a simple still, it is a kettle at the bottom and a retort at the top, and after pouring the purchased rice wine, it can be turned into high-concentration liquor.

It's just that the synthetic high-concentration wine is too low, about 1 to 10 probability, mainly because the existing concentration on the market is too low, only about nine degrees, and after repeated processing by Zhang Cheng, it can reach more than 40 degrees, the concentration is enough, strong enough, and more fragrant. Therefore, Zhang Cheng decided that this wine must be sold very expensive, and it must be limited, so hungry marketing, if Yuelou is not popular, to paraphrase Dabao's advertising slogan: I'm really sorry for that old face.

Under Zhang Cheng's instructions, Li Chengde went to the Taoist temple to buy some saltpeter, and then was ordered to carry water.

Holding the saltpeter bought by Li Chengde in his hand, he took a large vat, put most of the half-filled water in the tank, and placed the saltpeter in the half-filled water tank in proportion.

Zhang Cheng saw that the water had turned into ice, he was very satisfied, and shouted Li Chengde's name loudly, Li Chengde sat on the ground not long ago, and quickly got up and came to the kitchen when he heard the owner's shout. Zhang Cheng pointed to the large vat made of water into ice and said, "Chengde, find a way to get out the ice in this vat ." “

Li Chengde was stupid at that time, the boss with a pair of eyes, pointing to the big vat made of water into ice, trembling, didn't say anything for a long time, and looked at Zhang Cheng in horror, bowing his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng patted his head, "How can I forget, in ancient times, I was already an immortal when I turned stones into gold, and now I turn water into ice, aren't I also an immortal?!" “

Knowing that the explanation is useless, it is better to pretend to be a fairy, and then coughed and said: "Okay, get up, today's matter, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, you can know it, you must not reveal it to outsiders, otherwise it will lead to death!" ”

Li Chengde kowtowed and said, "The villain understands, the villain understands." “

Zhang Cheng was speechless: "Okay, don't knock, hurry up and get the ice out." “

Li Chengde was thrilled when he heard this, hurriedly got up, flipped around, found tools, and took out the ice. After that, he heard Zhang Cheng's instructions and bought some fruits, and then handed them over to Zhang Cheng. When he ran errands again, Li Chengde felt full of strength, as if he had endless strength in his body, and secretly thought in his heart that this Zhang Gongzi must be a god who went down to earth, and it must have been because he broke the ice just now because of the immortal energy, and he couldn't help but be complacent.

Zhang Cheng instructed Li Chengde to peel and press some fruits, such as apples and oranges, into juice, put in some crushed ice cubes, and poured himself a glass. Seeing this, Li Chengde on the side swallowed his saliva a few times, and looked at Zhang Cheng with a pair of hungry eyes, which made him feel very funny.

"If you want to drink, pour it yourself, watch me do something!" Zhang Cheng said angrily.

Hearing this, his face was overjoyed, and he poured himself a cup of ice, and added some ice cubes just now, and after taking a sip, it was refreshing, as if Li Chengde felt that it was not himself at this moment.

Zhang Cheng almost laughed out loud when he looked at Li Chengde's appearance, but it can also be seen that the summer iced juice will be a bigger surprise tomorrow.

"Boss, that... Can that villain bring some for Sister A to taste? Li Chengde felt very delicious and wanted to get some taste for his sister, so he asked.

"Leave me a drink, and you can do the rest." Seeing Li Chengde thinking about his sister, he remembered that Shishi had not tasted it yet, so he decided to bring her a cup to taste.

Thinking about tomorrow's beautiful scene,
