Chapter 32: Dogwood
(Each person can borrow a few votes from me to move up to three places in a row!) )
-
Ordinary restaurants, in the final analysis, are still dishes. In order to make Chuanfu an instant hit, Chen Ke took great pains to ensure that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality, and also carefully arranged the menu...... In addition to home-style stir-fried stir-fries such as stir-fried liver tips and stir-fried vegetables, some classic dishes are needed to support the scene.
In Sichuan, it is natural to focus on Sichuan cuisine, although you can't get chili peppers, but this is not a problem. Chili peppers were only introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so before that, Sichuan people didn't eat spicy?
Obviously not, Sichuan's perennial humid geographical environment makes the Shu people have an instinctive appetite for spicy taste. In the long years before chili peppers entered Sichuan cuisine, the Shu people relied on the three spicy seasonings of 'three spices' to satisfy their thirst for spicy. The so-called 'three spices' are Sichuan pepper, ginger and dogwood. Among them, Dogwood is the main general of spicy taste.
In the past two months, in order to understand the tastes of the Shu people, Chen Ke used his precious free time to taste all the restaurants and restaurants in Qingshen County...... It's a research need, it's definitely not gluttony, he always said this to Rokuro. It was found that the fish, meat soup and noodles that the Shu people love to eat are all made of red and bright red oil, which has a spicy and spicy taste, and is no different from the red oil made of chili peppers in later generations.
He found that many kitchen doors did have strings of small red beads, and when he inquired, he learned that it was dogwood, although it was not a chili pepper, but it also played a role in the spicy taste.
Since then, he has been researching dogwood, and found that this thing is good for stewing, but when used for stir-frying, it has a bitter taste in addition to spicy, and it is not a good product. However, the Shu people pounded and filtered it to extract the juice, and after some processing, it was made into red and bright chili oil, which removed the bitterness and obtained a more pure and rich spicy taste than chili oil.
This discovery made Chen Ke breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he would not dare to let Chuanfucai School open in two months...... It is difficult to be a master of Sichuan cuisine, but there is a quick way, and the secret is to hide it with spices!
Sure enough, since Chen Ke used a secret method to boil red oil, the popularity of the dishes cooked by Chuanfu has skyrocketed. In fact, it's just an extra spoonful of red oil.
In fact, the soul of Sichuan cuisine is not chili pepper, let alone red oil, but Pixian bean paste and the unique use of ginger and garlic. In this way, there may be many people who don't understand, but as long as you think about the four major dishes of Sichuan cuisine - mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, and back to the pot meat, the most classic method is not to put chili peppers, you can understand one or two.
The use of spicy makes Sichuan cuisine bright and hot, but it also masks its pure flavor. Now Chen Ke is forced to reduce the use of spicy due to limited conditions, but he is crooked and correct, restoring the original appearance of Sichuan cuisine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chen Ke's painstaking efforts were not in vain, although Shu people and Sichuan cuisine had met for hundreds of years, they did not affect love at first sight, just like the thunder that day......
The spicy, fresh, tender and crispy mapo tofu is like a hot Sichuan girl, which makes people's blood boil, although they die without complaints......
The tender and lychee-scented Kung Pao Chicken is like the jasper of the small family, teaching people to iron the whole body and love it......
The salty, sweet, sour, spicy, fragrant and delicious fish-flavored shredded pork is like the empathetic and versatile Goolan Flower Girl, giving you everything you want and making you want to stop......
The red and bright color, fat but not greasy back to the pot, just like the mature woman with charm to the bones, looks hooked, eat it**......
"It's delicious!" While the diners were feasting, they couldn't help but shout: "Oh my God, how can there be such food in the world!" ”
"Woo, what should I do if I can't eat it in the future?" Someone actually cried while eating: "A certain ...... will become lovesick"
"As for ......" Boss Lu pouted, very unconvinced: "Isn't it just a few broken dishes, do you say it's ......?"
But how can his gang of idlers still take care of the conversation, this kind of time is a race against time, if you say a word more, you will eat one less dish, and they will all be bored and move chopsticks like flying, and it is inevitable that there will be fierce scrambles:
"This is mine!"
"Mine!"
"Spread out, or I'll beat you up!"
"Who is afraid of whom! And wait until I'm done eating this piece of meat......"
Seeing that his subordinates were not promising, Boss Lu sighed heavily, and when he saw someone stretching out his chopsticks in front of him, he angrily stretched out his hand to protect him and said, "Don't rob, don't rob, this plate is mine!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, those who were completely conquered by the hunger strike food went to the table with friends and companions, but fortunately, Chen Ke had a plan, sent people to guard the door, issued number plates to the later diners, and left a table before putting it into a table.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the 100 number plates of the day were collected, and the citizens who came behind gave up and clamored at the door of the store. Many people shouted that they were willing to spend money on food, and those who received the number plate were not happy and shouted: "Don't we have no money?" I paid for this meal! ”
There are also people who are willing to pay money to buy the number plate in front, most of them are rejected miserably, but there are also those who have the highest price...... Seeing that some people were willing to buy a license plate with a few hundred dollars, some idlers lined up in front of the Blessing Gate every day to get the license plate and resell it. Chen Ke's unintentional move actually gave birth to the earliest scalpers, which shows that where there is demand, there is supply, of course, this is a later story.
But the vast majority of people still didn't get the number plate, and the guy advised them to come back in the future. But they were worried that it would be the case tomorrow, so some people offered to get tomorrow's number plate now.
The guys didn't dare to call the shots, so they hurried in to ask for instructions, and after a while, they came out and said to everyone: "Tomorrow is half price." ”
"Hugh is noisy, bring the cards!" When everyone saw the diners who walked out of the hotel, they all wanted to die and admired in every way, and their hearts seemed to be scratching a thousand times, and they couldn't wait to hurry in and open their eyes. Many people asked: "Little second brother, I pay the full price, can I get it first?" ”
"The small shop operates with integrity." The guy shook his head and said, "A promise." ”
Everyone had to honestly line up to receive the number, many of them had just come out of it, and some people protested dissatisfiedly, attracting their white eyes: "Did you eat the last meal at home?" ”
Within half an hour, the guy had to stop posting: "I'm sorry guys, we've run out of number plates. "I exclaimed in my heart: 'A thousand pieces, and they have all been taken away!' He has been running the hall for ** years, how have he ever seen such a scene.
Even if the stir-fry speed is fast, even if it only makes more than 100 tables, it will keep Chen Ke and Chuanfu busy until midnight. At this time, all the shops in the county were closed for two hours.
Seeing the last wave of diners leave satisfied, Chen Xiliang and Chen Chen, who came to help, already had back pain, thinking that they only came in the evening, they were tired like this, and the two hurriedly went to the back kitchen to find San Lang.
But when he saw the door curtain lifted, Chuanfu took him out, gently handed it to Chen Xiliang and said, "The master is so tired that he falls asleep......"
Chen Xiliang took San Lang, and when he was asleep, his delicate face was no longer cunning and mature, his eyelashes flickered slightly, and his nose was flickering, which reminded people that he was still a ten-year-old child.
Chen Xiliang put San Lang on his back and said to Chuanfu: "Can you be busy tomorrow?" ”
"Yes." Chuanfu knew that Shigong was distressed about his son, so he nodded heavily and said: "The first day was inexperienced, I was in a hurry, I was too slow to work, and there were too many people who came in, so it will be fine tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Chen Xi nodded and said, "I'll help you tomorrow." ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overnight, the reputation of the Rifle Hotel overshadowed the other two and became the only one in the eyes of the people of Qingshen. Even the magistrate became a loyal eater after tasting the craftsmanship of Chuanfu...... He originally wanted Laifu to deliver food every day, but after hearing that the stir-fry must be served hot, and the color will be reduced too much when it is cold, he actually changed into civilian clothes and went straight to Laifu to eat after work every day, and he didn't think this place was simple.
Of course, this is also a pro-people official in the Song Dynasty, who likes to have fun with the people, which is completely different from the county lords of later generations.
Soon, Laifu's name spread to neighboring states and counties, and people from other counties came one after another, and the license plate was directly received three months later. The number plates that were available within three days were even more hyped to the point where they were more than consistent.
Consistent money, even in Chengdu, can be in a high-end hotel, a decent banquet can be placed, but in this small shop in the county, it is only an entry price. This kind of absurd and strange talk has really happened.
Laifu is a hero, the business of the Lujia Hotel plummeted, and the dishes that used to sell well, people now feel that the food is tasteless, and they would rather go to Laifu to line up than eat the food he faded out of the bird.
After a few days of psychological struggle, Boss Lu Leyu finally made up his mind and went to Laifu's house to make amends with several generous gifts such as pig's head, tea, silk, and ginseng. He was a bit shrewd as a philistine, and he knew that he had offended Chuanfu severely, so he came to visit the old lady of Chuanfu...... He knows that Chuanfu is a filial son, and as long as he wins over the old lady of Chuanfu, he will be able to make a big turnaround.
Originally, he had a good relationship with Chuanfu's father, and the two families still had a friendship. So after entering the door, an old sister coaxed the rich lady over. When Chuanfu came back, the old lady really persuaded him to help Boss Lu.
Looking at Boss Lu's flattering face, Chuanfu sneered: "When I went to beg you, why didn't you teach me?" ”
"I ......," Boss Lu said ashamedly: "I plotted against your store, so I was fascinated." Saying that, he clasped his fists and said: "You can do well, I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child......
"I also have an old mother, and I also have children, why don't you pity me?" Chuanfu shook his head and said, "Go back, I won't teach you." ”
