Chapter 12 One Thousand Taels for One Dish
Speaking of which, this young master came to the kitchen because the dish he ordered had not yet been served, and he came to urge the chef to serve the food quickly.
But I didn't expect to come to the kitchen and see such a shocking scene.
He didn't understand why this woman was cooking, while the others were watching, and when he saw the woman's cooking process clearly, he immediately understood why so many people were watching, and she was cooking alone.
Really, she's really good at cooking.
Whether it is from the knife work, or from the way of putting it into the pot, or when it is decorated on the plate, it is flawless, and he can't find the slightest flaw.
Therefore, even he forgot the purpose of coming here, and followed the people in the kitchen, just like watching Xiao Qiqi cooking plate after plate of dishes.
When the dish was served, he found that all the ingredients of this lady's dish were specially brought by his distinguished guest, and he said at that time that if this dish could be made by his chef here, that person would agree to cooperate with him.
That's why he gave the chefs in the kitchen an order that they had to make it, whether they had made it before or not.
It's just that he was a little worried after all, and he himself came to take a look, but he didn't expect to give him a big surprise.
"Good, good, very good." couldn't help it, the young master applauded Xiao Qiqi, and three crisp applause startled the entire kitchen.
"Young master, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly stepped forward, feeling that the young master must have been watching for a long time, and thinking of his negligence, he suddenly became a little uneasy.
What about the young master, he was in a good mood at this time, and he wouldn't bother with them, he pointed to the dishes on the table and asked Xiao Qiqi.
"But don't you know what the names of the dishes made by Madame are?"
"This dish belongs to the cold dish, the cold dish is served first, the name is lily orange juice lotus root slices, the second course, crispy lotus root copy chicken rice, it is a stir-fried dish, served after the cold cuts, the third dish is a hot dish, lotus root stewed pork knuckle, the fourth course, is a soup, pork ribs lotus root soup, the fifth course, is the staple food, the beauty and stomach warm glutinous rice lotus, plus this, is a kind of juice to drink, the name is sweet and sour pear root juice, suitable for people who do not want to drink. Of course, you can also add a snack after the meal, which is also made with this lotus root, which is called pan-fried small lotus root cake. I think this table of dishes with lotus root as an ingredient should be able to entertain that guest of honor. Less in charge, shopkeeper, you can taste first, eat and see, are you satisfied with my work? "As a chef, before serving the dishes to the guests, I naturally taste them in the kitchen first, and only when I think they are good, will they be served.
Obviously, the young master was shocked by Xiao Qiqi's superb cooking skills and the introduction of the name of the dish. "No need, just serve it like this, serve it directly, the guests can't wait, so they don't have time to taste it again, the speed, the fast, the fast serve the dish is over." The young master didn't let anyone taste a bite, and directly asked the kitchen people to serve the dishes to the Tianzi private room.
Although this Xiao Qiqi is very confident in the dishes he makes, it is difficult to ensure that everyone is difficult to adjust, who knows what flavor that distinguished guest likes to eat, if she smashes her own signature because of the wrong taste, then she Xiao Qiqi will feel depressed to death.
Zhang Cuihua on the side could see that Xiao Qiqi didn't seem to be very happy, so she said: "Qi Niang, don't worry, I see the dish you made just now, those chefs are all drooling, so don't worry, you will definitely be delicious, and the other party will be very satisfied." ”
"I'm not worried about what is wrong with my cooking, but everyone's tastes are different, especially the big guys, who are very picky, and the tastes are a little unsatisfactory to him, maybe my efforts will be in vain today." In Xiao Qiqi's opinion, it is still necessary to taste it before serving it, but seeing that the young master is in a hurry like that, she is embarrassed to say that she will not be allowed to serve it, at that time, if she says it, wouldn't she be not confident in her own cooking skills?
And just when Xiao Qiqi was thinking about it, Shopkeeper Liu rushed in with a happy face and directly stuffed Xiao Qiqi with a silver ticket of one thousand taels.
"Madam, you have done us a great favor this time, thank you, Madame, the distinguished guest was very satisfied, and directly rewarded Madame with a thousand taels, and said, please Madame write down the recipes of those dishes, and the guest is willing to buy the recipes of the various dishes that Madame served this time at a high price."
This Xiao Qiqi, holding a thousand taels of silver tickets, didn't even change his expression, and usually put the silver tickets in, just like receiving a vegetable cake, he was not surprised at all, but Zhang Cuihua on the side, that mouth was wide enough to hold an egg, a thousand taels of silver, for the Zhuang family, people who spend no two taels of silver a year, it is really a big number.
Therefore, an expression like Zhang Cuihua is normal, and Xiao Qiqi is too calm, which makes Shopkeeper Liu feel safe, but now he feels a little uneasy.
"This lady, I don't know if you want to?"
"Of course I do, I'm here to sell recipes, and since someone wants to buy my recipes, I'm naturally willing to talk about it. Normally, the price of my recipe is not low, and I will definitely sell it at a very high price, but this time the distinguished guest is also a person who is destined, so appreciate the dishes I make, then I will make him cheaper, a dish of 1,000 taels of silver, not two prices, you have asked the distinguished customer first, if you want, we will sign a contract. ”
A dish costs 1,000 taels of silver, or is it sold at a low price? Zhang Cuihua didn't know how to describe Xiao Qiqi, was this Qiniang robbing?
But the shopkeeper Liu ran to tell the distinguished guest very solemnly, and brought Xiao Qiqi's words word for word.
After hearing Xiao Qiqi's words, the distinguished guest felt that this chef was quite interesting, so he nodded.
"It's okay, just give her the price she offered, this little money is not lacking, these dishes she made are really special, not to mention fresh, and they taste very good, I want to come to this table of lotus root dishes, when the time comes, they will definitely open their eyes, and it is worth my trip." However, you have to tell her that since the recipe for this dish has been sold to me, she is not allowed to sell it to anyone else, and Ben Shao doesn't want these dishes to appear elsewhere, understand? ”
As soon as Xiao Qiqi heard that this guest wanted to monopolize the recipes of these dishes, he increased the price code, asking for three thousand taels of silver for the recipes of one dish, if he was willing to give it, he would pull it down.
This time, when Shopkeeper Liu went to pass the word, this distinguished guest Chu Gongzi suddenly had the idea of wanting to meet Xiao Qiqi in person. I1483
