Chapter 40: The Heart Disease of Baiweiju

The braised pork with dried bamboo shoots became popular all of a sudden, and those who have tasted this dish say that it looks good on the plate and tastes good. Jiang Yu listened to the guys talk a lot, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, his skills were recognized!

She discussed with Shopkeeper Chen whether to put chili peppers, and Shopkeeper Chen repeatedly said that he could only put a little less, although the people in Nancheng did not eat spicy, but they did not eat spicy either. The spicy taste of this dish is not heavy, which makes Jiang Yu a little regretful.

When Wang Shao resigned from the restaurant, he was catching up with a table of guests who were full of wine and food, and he was still talking about this dish when he went out. He raised his eyebrows, which can be praised by so many people, and the little girl still has a bit of craftsmanship.

The little guy called the guy and ordered a few dishes that his master usually likes to eat, and then ordered a dish of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots.

The master and servant sat in the private room on the second floor, and Wang Shaoci looked out the window thoughtfully. The weather is getting colder, the streets are full of people, and the shouts of small vendors are endless, and it is very lively, not like at home......

His thoughts were interrupted by the aroma in the middle of the process, and the dish they had ordered was served.

He was a little surprised that this dish turned out to be braised pork wrapped in bamboo shoots. Barilla also has a dish with the same name, but the taste of the two is completely different, and the method is also different.

I have to say that this girl is a little bold, this dish is a little spicy, very light, because of the different eating habits of Nancheng, he has never eaten spicy dishes here.

But it's a bit like the Jiang family's craft. In the past, when Wang Wenjun was still there, he also went to be a guest a few times, and the Jiang family was the best at seasoning with chili peppers. You can use any chili pepper.

"Go and ask their shopkeeper if they can meet this girl who cooks."

The little guy took the order. Shopkeeper Chen really called Jiang Yu over, she thought it was Zhao Jing when she heard it, and she went upstairs with a fierce attitude, but when she saw that it was Wang Shaoci, she couldn't help coughing twice and adjusted her expression.

Wang Shaoci saw that she couldn't control her expression a little, and laughed, "It turned out that the girl made this dish, and the girl is really a skillful person." ”

Jiang Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Is there something unpleasant?" ”

"No, it's delicious, especially since the spicy taste is really to my appetite." Wang Shaoci gave the little guy a look, and the little guy immediately handed Jiang Yu a bulging purse, which was considered a reward.

Jiang Yu secretly wondered why he was emphasizing this spicy taste? Did he want to eat it, but he didn't see it in Nancheng? But with some inquiring eyes on Shang Wang Shaoci, she quietly took the purse and thanked politely, "Xie Gongzi's reward." ”

The two said a few more words, and Jiang Yu went downstairs. She remembered her familiarity with Wang Shaoci before, and couldn't help frowning.

Wang Shaoci also left Xiangmanyuan with the little servant, and said casually, "Go back and send a letter to the family in a while, and you will deliver this letter in person." ”

The little guy nodded.

Chen Yao took Yang Xuan to Xiangmanyuan for dinner today, and happily introduced him to their family's new dish, which was the dish made by Jiang Yu.

This is a place that Chen Yao is familiar with, she chattered about how powerful Jiang Yu is, how good the restaurant business has been recently, and whether she has any plans to cook new dishes in the future, and she didn't notice Yang Xuan's eyes looking at the restaurant at all.

The development of Baiweiju over the years can be described as smooth sailing, but Xiangmanyuan has always been a piece of the original shopkeeper's heart.

If it weren't for the original shopkeeper who dug people from Xiangmanyuan, maybe Xiangmanyuan would not be as declining as it is now. Even so, Xiangmanyuan has still confronted Baiweiju for so many years, and now there is a little girl who can cook.

This girl has also tossed a lot of new tricks......

"Is this really that good? Is your good friend's cooking skills so good? After Yang Xuan heard what she said, he asked with a smile.

There are not many people in the girl's family who can cook, and even fewer people like Jiang Yu, the original shopkeeper wanted to dig her at that time, and it was also a bit of cultivation in it. Who knew that this girl had a hard temper and refused directly.

Chen Yao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to drag Jiang Yu out of the back kitchen and praise her, "It's delicious!" It's completely different from Chef Ho's taste! It's also worse than no chef! I just counted on her to teach me ......"

"Teach you what?"

Chen Yao shut up suddenly, "It's okay, the food is here, eat the vegetables quickly......" I was going to surprise him, and I almost missed my mouth!

The dishes have been served, Chen Yao happily sandwiched a pair of chopsticks, Jiang Yu knew that she came today, and the amount of food she gave her was particularly sufficient, plus other dishes, it was more than enough for two people to eat.

Yang Xuan also sandwiched a piece of meat to taste, and sure enough, it was very different from Baiweiju, the ingredients Jiang Yu used were not so sweet, with a slight spiciness, forming a new taste - this is a taste that the people of Nancheng do not often eat.

The psychology of trying new things caught everyone's attention from the beginning. Plus -

This piece of meat is stewed more soft and glutinous, almost melts in the mouth, and the dried bamboo shoots are also crisp and raw, and the bamboo shoots are tender, and they will not be hard to chew because they have been cooked.

This little girl is really not easy to deal with, Yang Xuan thought so, and his eyes suddenly looked behind Chen Yao.

A person was making a gesture to Yang Xuan behind her, he bowed his head slightly, Chen Yao was preoccupied with eating and did not notice his movements.

"What do you think! Isn't it delicious! ”

Chen Yao ate and served vegetables to Yang Xuan, piling up a hill in his bowl.

Yang Xuan just smiled and pinched her a lot, "If you like, eat more." Don't keep clipping me. He said this, but he had other considerations in mind.

After eating, Yang Xuan said that he had something to do and left first, and turned around and went to Baiweiju.

There were a lot of guests in Baiweiju today, and the original shopkeeper raised his eyes to see him and asked him to wait at the back of the lobby. The front hall is crowded and not a good place to talk.

"Have you tried that dish? What do you think? ”

Yang Xuan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's good, it's not worse than our family." If you don't poach people, you'll lose a lot. ”

The original shopkeeper had long been accustomed to his prickly way of speaking, and he didn't pick up the stubble, but said: "It's similar to ours?" ”

"It's not bad, you know how much you know," Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows, obviously having something in his words, "Didn't someone tell you before, don't you need me to say it again." ”

The original shopkeeper squinted slightly, and this time he didn't speak.

"Now that you understand, my mission is complete. How is this tea aged tea? It's not good to drink. ”

Yang Xuan put down the teacup and stretched, "I'm going to buy something for that little girl." Do I need to bring you something? ”

"No, you just have to coax that girl better than anything else." The original shopkeeper waved his hand, "I'll settle accounts later, you can go quickly." ”

Yang Xuan almost explained that the dish must be much better than he estimated!

But so what, it's a little girl after all. Even if she is a little smart and capable, she doesn't understand the truth that Jiang is still old and spicy. Thinking of this, the original shopkeeper couldn't help laughing.

***

These days, Chen Yao is diligent and learns to make dim sum with Jiang Yu very seriously. She is skillful, although she has never been in the kitchen much, but she has been exposed to these since she was a child, and she learns quickly. Jiang Yu was also happy for her, and joked that if she worked harder, maybe even she would have to make way for her.

Chen Yao laughed, saying that Jiang Yu, the master, taught him well, and at the same time babbled about Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan is a very gentle person, and he treats her well, but Chen Yao has a distressing thing recently. He is not only good to her, but sometimes he can also be seen talking and laughing with other girls - although it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, Yang Xuan is dignified and has a gentle temper, and there is no way to secretly send him Qiubo with other little girls, but Chen Yao is a little sullen.

After Jiang Yu heard this, he sighed in his heart with a big pig's trotters, and then comforted Chen Yao, "Men, most of them are in the morning and evening, don't take it too seriously, it's a big deal that you don't like him." ”

"But I just like him......" Chen Yao pouted.

Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "Don't be sad, I'll make something delicious tomorrow for you to taste?" ”

Hearing that there was something delicious, Chen Yao swept away her sadness, nodded happily, and hugged Jiang Yu, "Jiangyu, you are the best!" ”

Recently, Jiang Yu is researching new dim sum. Kidney bean rolls are simple and easy to make, but there is nothing new, and I am afraid that I will get tired of eating them twice. Because of making mooncakes before, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered the specialty of Suzhou-style mooncakes - puff pastry.

However, the puff pastry is a bit more troublesome, and it needs to be baked. There are few people who make dim sum here, so I don't know if there is such a thing as an oven.

She specially asked Chen Yao, but Chen Yao was also confused, Jiang Yu described it to her, it was probably semicircular, empty inside, and firewood was burned underneath......

Chen Yao suddenly came to his senses and led Jiang Yu to the northeast corner of the courtyard, where there was a "baking oven" in Jiang Yu's mouth. However, not to mention the gray and fluffy face, there are also a lot of leaves - it looks like it has not been used for a long time.

When Jiang Yu went to talk to the shopkeeper Chen, the shopkeeper Chen also thought about it for a long time before he remembered it, and asked a few questions in confusion, and learned that Jiang Yu wanted to make a new snack, so he agreed with a wave of his hand.

This time for dim sum, Jiang Yu wanted to make peach blossom cake. It's not very seasonal, but it's just a shape that looks good.

The puff pastry is not difficult to make, and it is made into a dough with flour, lard, and sugar, and if it is peach blossom crisp, it is necessary to add a little red yeast rice. The red yeast rice was bought by Jiang An from Jishitang, and the medicinal herbs were left for a long time for fear of insects, so he didn't buy much.

The dough with red yeast rice has a light rouge color and is set aside to rise. Then Jiang Yu made puff pastry, which should be about the same as the softness and hardness of the dough, otherwise it would be easy to break. When everything was done, Jiang Yu patiently divided the dough into agents, wrapped the puff pastry in the dough, rolled it out repeatedly, and then rolled it out until they were in their proper state.

When Chen Yao came, Jiang Yu was about to finalize, "It's so good-looking, can I make two?" She was so eager to try it that her sleeves were rolled up. Jiang Yu couldn't cry or laugh a little, but the face had already been reconciled, Chen Yao just had to come out with a pinch, and just brought her some back.
