Jinshui Town, autumn restaurant.

After Qi Jiuli and a few people left, Yan Chengtao and Jiang Houchun began to be busy, the two discussed the size of the stove on the table, the size of the pot, and the size of the iron plate used to grill the fish, the material of the handle, and after finalizing the style, the quantity was clarified, Yan Chengtao went to the blacksmith shop in the town to order these.

Jiang Houchun began to improve the taste of the Jingjin dipping sauce, and after not cooking a single dish in one afternoon, he tried to make several changes, and finally developed a dipping sauce that surprised him, and then began to look forward to tomorrow.

The Jiang family will be reduced to working as a cook in a corner of the shop, in addition to the decision of the ancestors, the most important thing is that the recipes that have been handed down at the beginning are missing.

Cooking, in addition to the ingredients, is the seasoning, the Jiang family's recipes have been passed down for generations, and there are only two thick cookbooks of various dishes and pastries, as well as a book on how to choose ingredients, and the rest I don't know if they were lost at the beginning, or they were sold by the loser.

The Jiang family has only continued the cooking skills of their ancestors for several generations, and there is not much innovation, and when it comes to Jiang Houchun's generation, it is even more unsuccessful.

But now Jiang Houchun is very excited in his heart, and he thinks that whether his cooking skills can go to the next level depends on tomorrow's seasonings.

On February 16, Qi Jiuli got up early in the morning, carried various colored materials, and got on the donkey cart driven by Qi Shan, and the two went to the town excitedly.

"Jiuli, the potato cake you sent yesterday was just added with those powders, don't say, the taste is so good, I never knew that potatoes could have such a taste, of course, it may also be with white noodles, anyway, the taste is good." Qi Shan said with a smile, as if he was still reminiscing about yesterday's pepper fragrance in his mouth.

"It's okay to make salt-and-pepper potatoes directly without white flour, the two tastes are different, the uncle likes it, next time I will give the method to the uncle, so that she can make it for the uncle from time to time." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.

"Hey, these are all silver, you can sell this to the Autumn Flavor Restaurant today." Qi Shan said.

"No, I'm going to send this." The corners of Qi Jiuli's lips hooked and said, "Even if it is the fresh dishes that were sold to Qiuwei Restaurant before, we can make them ourselves, and we can just do it if we don't sell them to others." ”

Qi Shan smiled in the wind, his heart was very comforted, but people's hearts are complicated and will not remain the same, "Jiuli, uncle has experienced more, even if it is a brother, father and son, sometimes he will fall out because of money, maybe he doesn't have this idea in his heart, but people are always stupid or fast-talking, in case he doesn't mean to say something, or if he has the intention to do something, it's always bad." ”

"The money you earn from selling vegetables is good for a few of us to know, and it's not good for more people to know." Qi Shan said, "It's good that we can eat what you send occasionally, don't teach your aunt how to cook, she knows, and there will be more and more people who know, and those who live in the same room can't hide it." ”

"These are different from charcoal, charcoal has brought interest to everyone, but these are things that can no longer be bought and sold after being sold, how to do charcoal, everyone can't hide it, as for these new spices, there are more people who know, in case other food shops in the town also know, what face do we have to face the shopkeeper."

The smile on Qi Jiuli's face was very bright, and he looked at Qi Shan's back that was getting thicker and thicker because he was wearing a jacket and said, "Uncle, you know so much, it's amazing, it's good." ”

"Hahaha." Qi Shan smiled, "Uncle is great because he is old, we are only powerful in Jiuli, and now I have tasted the dishes with seasonings, and the business of the Autumn Flavor Restaurant will definitely be better, and our charcoal can sell a lot every month." ”

When Qi Shan and Qi Jiuli arrived in Jinshui Town, they went straight to the Qiuwei Restaurant, and the little second brother Hu Xiaofan at the Piaoxiang Wine Restaurant diagonally across the street recognized the two of them at a glance, after all, he still remembered what Qi Jiuli said yesterday.

Is this a search for a fragrant wine shop, but an autumn restaurant? Hu Xiaofan secretly thought, but the donkey cart was empty, and there was no charcoal, so it couldn't be to eat.

Hu Xiaofan didn't care when he saw it, and he didn't mention it to Shopkeeper Zhong when he entered the wine shop, it was just an irrelevant person and an irrelevant matter.

Yan Chengtao and Jiang Houchun learned that Qi Shan and Qi Jiuli were coming, so they hurriedly took people to the back kitchen, sent the people in the kitchen out, and Qi Jiuli handed Yan Chengtao the burden in his hand, "This is spice." ”

Yan Chengtao put the burden on the table and opened it, inside was a sealed oil paper seal, seeing such a clean package, the two of them felt comfortable for a while, carefully opened the oil paper seal, there were four kinds of powder that were ground into powder and had a strong smell; There are also prototypes of powders with different shapes and a faint taste.

"These are all medicinal herbs?" Yan Chengtao was really surprised, "Are you sure you can make it into a seasoning and eat it, there will be no problem?" ”

"Shopkeeper Yan rest assured, we have all eaten it ourselves." Qi Shan replied with a serious expression.

Jiang Houchun smelled the smell and could tell which of those powders were ground from, "Is this made of these two things with salt?" ”

Jiang Houchun looked at the only richly colored salt and pepper powder and asked.

"Uncle Jiang deserves this." Qi Jiuli stretched out his thumb and praised.

"The meat and vegetables that were barbecued yesterday, in addition to the dipping sauce, also add some spices when grilling, and the taste is even more different." Qi Jiuli said, "Of course, when you put some in the cooking, the taste is richer." ”

"This can't be served." Yan Chengtao said, "Taste it a few more times, but it will make people taste it." ”

"Jiuli, can you make a few dishes with these seasonings?" Yan Chengtao asked.

"Of course." Qi Jiuli made yesterday's potato cakes and made two kinds, floured and direct pretzel potatoes, which stimulated the taste buds of Yan Chengtao and Jiang Houchun.

"Usually almost no one orders potatoes, and in the future, we will buy potatoes in batches at our autumn restaurant." Yan Chengtao's eyes lit up and said, "I see how that fragrant wine shop is still proud in front of us." ”

Qi Jiuli was a little surprised, but it was reasonable, it was normal for business to have competition, but ...... "Shopkeeper Yan, the kid looks at the Qiuwei restaurant is an old shop, and it should have more customers than the Piaoxiang wine shop." ”

"The chef of Piaoxiang Wine Restaurant was invited from the capital for a lot of money, and our chef Jiang is better at cooking, but they have a unique secret roast duck, and this dish has become famous." Yan Chengtao said.

"In fact, it is normal for each shop to have its own characteristics, but the character of the people in the Piaoxiang wine shop is ......" Yan Chengtao choked up, he said this, what is the difference between him and their people, and he hurriedly calmed down, "Anyway, with the new seasoning, coupled with Chef Jiang's research, our Autumn Flavor Restaurant will sooner or later overpower others." ”

Jiang Houchun stayed in the kitchen and began to study new spices, Yan Chengtao led Qi Jiuli and Qi Shan to the second floor, got to the refreshments, and began to negotiate the price.
