Chapter 225: Opening a Shop
In the east city of Fucheng, there are many rich people, who like vassal elegance, and Huaiyang cuisine that blends all mouths and is elegant and interesting can best meet the temper of the rich people.
There are many poor people living in Beicheng, so you can make money by opening a noodle shop and selling high-quality and inexpensive Yangchun noodles.
Not to mention the restaurant in Nancheng, how could the little trick of the defeated Yan Chunhua cause trouble to Lin Jiu?
Lu Xiucai tasted Lin Jiu's words while walking, and he also knew Lin Jiu a little more.
"Looks like I'm worried in vain." Lu Xiucai sighed with some complexity in his tone.
"But thank you for your kindness." Lin Jiu walked into the back kitchen, put the three pots of soup that had been boiled in the world before, put them in a large clay pot, and continued to simmer them over low heat.
After that, use a knife to cut the cabbage into different shapes.
Martial arts pattern, peony pattern, wheat ear pattern and so on.
Put it in the water, and the cabbage helps to stretch out, and the shape is different, like flowers.
Lu Xiucai stared at Lin Jiu's supernatural knife technique for a long, long time, and then pointed to the wok that was already full of river sand and asked, "Is this to make fried chestnuts with sugar?" ”
Lin Jiu shook his head and said: "After practicing knife work, you have to practice the spoon again, if you don't practice the craft for a day, you will be rusty, and the strength of your wrist will be reduced. ”
A large part of the reason why Lin Jiu was able to counterattack in such a short period of time and become so good at cooking is that Lin Jiu is proficient in martial arts, and his wrist strength is not small.
Lu Xiucai couldn't help but sigh: "You practice cooking skills and open restaurants, and you are no easier than us who teach and read." ”
"It's not unusual that every craft has been honed out over the years."
Lin Jiu put down the guess in his hand, walked into the kitchen, lifted the lid of the large crockpot with the prepared marinade, slowly stirred it with a long spoon, and then took out the whole chicken, duck, pig's trotters, etc., which had been boiled, and put it in, and continued to boil
After that, the lid is closed, the surrounding space is covered with a wet towel, and a stone slab is pressed on top to prevent the smell from running away.
The moment the lid was lifted, Lu Xiucai was almost fainted on the spot, not because of the smell, but because it was too fragrant! It's simply fascinating!
Lu Xiucai stretched his neck and looked into the crockpot, but was pushed away by Lin Jiu, and teased with a smile: "Brother Lu, be reserved, don't fall into it, I won't have to work hard to catch you." ”
Lu Xiucai was amused, looked at Lin Jiu with burning eyes, and said, "The taste of your braised soup is completely different from others." ”
Lin Jiu said slowly: "My three pots of soup, the materials are exquisite, even the water is sweet mountain spring water, into the secret spices, the firewood below is added to the pine wood of Nanshan, boiling once put the material, the second time the material is different, a total of nine times, and finally stew out such a pot, of course, it is different from the ordinary marinade of other houses." ”
Lin Jiu put the chicken and duck elbows into the food box, cut the large pieces of pork belly into small slices, adjusted the dipping sauce and continued: "The marinade is still old, so you have to keep putting in fresh ingredients in the process of boiling. ”
Lu Xiucai didn't have any reason to refuse, stretched out his hand, caught the food box, and said at the end: "I remember that you didn't put the pigskin down before?" Why is it gone? ”
Braised pork skin is one of Lu Xiucai's favorite foods, of course, you have to ask.
Lin Jiu pointed to the pork belly and the big elbow and said, "See?" The pork belly and elbow have been fried by me in advance, with such a layer of burnt skin, protecting the tender meat, so that it has not been boiled, this pork skin has not been moved, it has not been fried, and it has long been boiled in the soup. ”
A good marinade should have a strong taste and a sticky texture. Thick, this sticky. Where does the thick feeling come from? Naturally, the pigskin was boiled.
"If you like it, I'll give you a new pork skin next time."
Lin Jiu's mouth was full of food scriptures with hidden knowledge, and a casual sentence or two was a skill that others could not learn in a lifetime, so that Lu Xiucai could listen to it at once.
Lu Xiucai swallowed his saliva and said: "Then you can marinate some pork skin, anyway, you don't have to teach students these days, if you need me to be your bookkeeper, or go to the boiled world to help, just ask." "Good
Lin Jiu smiled, then nodded and left to go home.
Walking to the mouth of the alley, Lin Jiu suddenly saw a few people running out of the casino opposite, and muttered: "Who was cooking just now?" Why is it so fragrant? It's so fucking seductive! Let's go home and eat! ”
After a while, the people in an alley opened their windows and looked at each other, their faces salivating.
The marinade I made out was really extraordinary.
Lin Jiu shook his head and chuckled as he walked, his heart was not only satisfied, his efforts were recognized, and he should naturally be happy.
A passer-by whispered behind him, "Who was cooking just now?" Do you smell it? This lo-mei is really fragrant! ”
As soon as he walked into the yamen, Master Li saw Zhao Xiaoliu and Luo Laosan eating together.
On the table, there was a faint sweet fragrance, which smelled quite tempting.
Zhao Xiaoliu raised his chopsticks and shouted, "Adult! You're back! We've got it all here, come on! ”
"You have received Yan Chunhua's food box again? I've told you how many times, no matter what Yan Chunhua says, I can't let her enter the yamen! You can't accept anything from Yan Chunhua! You take what I say as a fart? ”
Lord Li's originally happy expression instantly became irritable.
On the table in front of him is an incomparably delicate food box, the lid of the food box has been opened, and there are four dishes and one soup on a porcelain plate of white jade, with meat and vegetarian matching, and the shape is also unique.
Zhao Xiaoliu and the others also put a food box in front of them, which contained more things, but they were not delicate enough, and they were specially bribed to bribe these people.
As the saying goes, "eat people with a soft mouth, take people with short hands", Zhao Xiaoliu and others are often sent by Yan Chunhua to eat, and they have to say a few good words to Yan Chunhua.
"My lord, the Yan family has been separated, Miss Yan is also pitiful enough, do you think the quota of the Chamber of Commerce is still ......"
Master Li stared at the delicate food box in front of him for a long time, and finally sneered: "You also took this food box in the middle and divided it!" If she comes to deliver something again in the future, you can do whatever you want, I won't eat it anyway! ”
Everyone was overjoyed, and they heard Master Li continue: "But what I got back, you don't want to move a chopstick. ”
The food brought by Master Li is also prepared by the chefs in the house, where can it be compared to Miss Yan's cooking skills?
These people hurriedly agreed and said, "Okay, if you don't eat the food sent by Miss Yan in the future, our brothers will help you share the pain!" ”
With that, the people hurried over and took away the delicate food box on the table.
"That's it." Master Li hooked his lips slightly, sat down on his table, took out a jar of good wine from under the table, and filled himself with a glass after opening it.
Then, Lord Li opened the food box that Lin Jiu specially sent to his house, first brought out a plate of steaming braised whole chicken, opened the next layer, and brought out a plate of braised duck, then pork knuckle, and finally a plate of well-cut pork belly, slices, fat and thin, crystal clear, sprinkled with some green onions and sesame seeds, and served with a plate of red oil and garlic dipping sauce.
In an instant, a rich and indescribable halogen fragrance spread in the room, domineeringly occupying everyone's nostrils.
Master Li gently pinched the chicken paws, and then pulled them so lightly, and the whole chicken leg was brought down.
The crispy meat is connected to the smooth skin, and the rich juice penetrates into the silky meat, and when you bite into it, the flavor explodes in your mouth, and it is really delicious!
The elbow is also stewed softly, the skin is slightly broken in the mouth, the meat is soft and rotten, the mouth melts, the hoof tendons still have some tenacity, and the tongue is gently rolled into the mouth, the taste is just right, very elastic.
The pork belly is fat and thin, the distribution is just right, the entrance sauce is full of fragrance, the lean meat is strong, the fat is soft and glutinous, and you can perfectly combine the juice in the fat and lean meat with a few bites, and then match it with garlic dipping sauce.
