Chapter 30: The Sauce Recipe

"It would be nice if I could eat it every day," the princess burst into tears at the thought of leaving for the capital tomorrow, "Lord, let's stay longer." "

The King of England took the princess's hand, "Ai Concubine, if we don't go back, the saint should be in a hurry, besides, don't you also miss the children at home?" "

The British princess sighed, "You should have brought him over too." "

The King smiled and did not speak.

"Princess, you can taste this plate of shiitake mushroom rape," Liu Tian brought a plate of very delicately arranged shiitake mushroom rape and put it in front of the princess.

The princess tasted it, looked surprised, and said, "Can you make seafood flavor for this rape?" "

She remembered her son, who didn't like to eat vegetables very much, and let him eat a mouthful of vegetables, as if he wanted his life.

"Liu Tian, you and I should go back to the palace to live for a few days," the princess took Liu Tian's hand with tears in her eyes.

Liu Tian smiled, "Princess, this is made by me with oyster sauce, as long as you add a few drops when stir-frying, the meal will have the fragrance of seafood, I have already handed over the method to the cook in the house, this plate of mushroom rape is from him." "

"Really?" The princess couldn't believe it, she couldn't have known what level her cooks were cooking.

"What kind of oil is it, so amazing?"

"Oyster sauce is the oil extracted from oysters, a few days ago, fishermen always thought that they couldn't finish eating oysters, and this thing couldn't be put in, so I thought about making oyster sauce and adding some when stir-frying, even if it was green vegetables, it could be delicious," Liu explained simply.

In modern times, she likes to add oyster sauce to cooking, but unfortunately there is no one here, so she makes some of her own.

"Here are some sauces, which can be used as spices when cooking, and when you eat noodles, you can also add some, the noodles taste more delicious, I asked people to put them in the car, and the prince and princess will take them with them when they leave tomorrow," Liu said, pointing to the sauce next to him.

The British couple looked at the dark mass in front of them and didn't know how to speak.

The British princess has always had no taboo for eating this kind of thing, she picked a chopstick, put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully, and said, "It's really good, you can taste it too." "

The king of England gave it a try, gave a thumbs up to Liu Tian, and praised, "This king has eaten most of his life, and he thinks that he has eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but I didn't expect that in you, I am like a hillbilly with little knowledge, it's really interesting," the king of England asked with a piece of dried scallops with chopsticks, "What is this?" "

"Back to the prince's words, this is made of dried scallops, which is not only nutritious, but also very delicious, as long as you put a little less when cooking, it will make the meal very fresh, and you don't need to put other seasonings, and this scallop can also be used to make soup, which is very helpful for women to recuperate," Liu Tian replied very carefully, "As for the use of these materials, I have told the chef of the palace, even if the prince and the princess turn over the capital, they can still eat seafood." "

The princess listened and whispered, "You don't know, since you eat the food you cooked, and then eat the cook in the house, it really doesn't taste at all." "

Liu Tian covered her lips and smiled, "The princess is really good at making me happy, if the princess wants to eat the food I made one day, she will come, and I will wait for the princess at any time." "

The British king and his wife brought a carriage of seafood sauce back to Beijing, and on the first day of their return home, they held a banquet in the palace, and the guests tasted the delicious green vegetables, praised them, and asked where the cooks in the British palace came from.

King Ying smiled, "The cook is still the same cook, but the sauce is added." "

As soon as the guests heard that it was a sauce, they immediately asked for some to take home.

Soon, this sauce became popular in the capital, because it was only used by high-ranking officials and nobles, and the sauce was priceless for a while, and many wealthy merchants could not buy it.

It didn't take long for even the small county town where Liu Tian was located to be affected by this sauce wind.

Some dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital came from thousands of miles away, ordered sauces in restaurants, and then brought them to the capital.

Many large families in small counties have also followed suit and ordered sauces.

Just by receiving the list of sauces, Liu Tian has already earned a lot of money.

Liu Fengxu's mother and daughter saw that the door of Liu Tian's restaurant was full of traffic all day long, and they kept coming and going, so they were red-eyed.

"Mother, I've tasted it, that seafood sauce is really good," Liu Fengxu stood in the Liujia restaurant, looking at the restaurant opposite, and his tone was sour.

"Who said no, I don't know what evil this girl has fallen into, since the last time she came back from the beach, it's like a different person, and she can still make sauces, it's a strange thing."

Zhao Manrou had a gloomy face, eager to snatch all the orders from Liu Tian's hand.

"Mother, you say, if we have a secret recipe for sauce, can we make it too," Liu Fengxu's eyes rolled, with a smile in his eyes, and a trace of essence flashed.

Zhao Manrou nodded, "That's a good idea." "

Because there are too many orders for sauces, even if the kitchen of the restaurant works overtime every day, it is not enough, so Liu Tian opened a sauce workshop.

Lin Feng helped Liu Tian to build a courtyard, there are three large rooms in the courtyard, one of which is used to collect raw materials, one is for the production of sauces, and the other is a warehouse.

Many people in the village rely on the weather for food, and when the weather is bad, they can only sit at home to eat and store grain, and at the end of the year, it is already very good to earn enough to eat, and there is no money in hand.

As soon as I heard that Liu Tilt's sauce workshop recruits, a day to give two money, can be more than their usual fishing earnings, this year, can still have a lot of money on hand, the New Year is a pity to buy some fine noodles, dumplings to eat, so that everyone is eager to try.

Liu Tian personally recruited people, because it was food processing, those who did not do it cleanly, and those who did not work meticulously, so that most of the people went to it, and the rest were some young daughters-in-law who usually worked quickly and loved cleanliness and a few strong men who stayed to move things.

Liu Qian first asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement, and anyone who worked in the sauce workshop was not allowed to say half a word to the outside world, otherwise they would have to compensate the sauce workshop with 3,000 taels of silver.

Because the benefits were relatively generous, everyone didn't hesitate much, so they pressed their handprints on the agreement, and Liu Tian first picked up a few people who looked smart and capable, and after a brief training, he let them be the leaders and take the people under them to work.

Liu Fengxu's mother and daughter originally planned to send someone into the sauce workshop, but they didn't expect to be picked out by Liu Tian because they were not clean, so angry that Zhao Manrou stared at the side, "Can't you clean yourself up?" "

The man said hesitantly, "It's not clean, it's not sick when you eat." "

One sentence made Zhao Manrou so angry that she wanted to hit someone, she looked at the man's oily clothes that couldn't see the original color, and then looked at the hair that hadn't been washed for I don't know how long, and suddenly felt a little sick to her stomach, she waved her hand, "Forget it, forget it, hurry up." "

"His aunt, I said that I would pay ten cents," the man smiled, spreading out his black palm, "I haven't given it yet." "

Zhao Manrou wanted to say something, but she couldn't help it, gave her ten cents and hurriedly sent away, and when she left, she instructed, "You are not allowed to say a word about this matter, otherwise, neither of us will be able to escape." "

When the man got the money, he nodded happily, "Don't worry, his aunt." "

Zhao Manrou waved her hand and asked her to hurry back.

This time it didn't work, Zhao Manrou became more persistent in the sauce recipe.

She secretly arranged for someone to enter Liu Tian's restaurant, preparing to start from the restaurant and steal the secret recipe.

This person's name is Shao Yuansheng, and he looks like a sharp-beaked monkey gills, and at first glance he likes to take advantage of loopholes.

Liu Tian was developing a new dish in the kitchen, and when he saw Shao Yuan sneaking in, he shouted, "Who are you?" "

"If you go back to the shopkeeper, I'm new to the kitchen, and I'm a starter," Shao Yuan couldn't help but be a thief when he saw Liu Tian, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Tian's eyes.

"New here?"

Shao Yuan heard that Liu Tian was a little suspicious, and hurriedly explained, "Yes, you came here a few days ago, you are usually very busy, and it is normal that you haven't seen it." "

Liu Tian squinted his eyes, anyone who came to the restaurant to work as a helper had to pass her test, how did this Shao Yuan get in?

"I see, I don't remember," she decided, "let's get to work." "

After observing for two days, Liu Tian found that this Shao Yuan would always go out secretly, she sent a young man to follow Shao Yuan secretly, and found that he actually went to the Liu family's restaurant to meet Zhao Manrou.

When he came back, Liu Tian remained silent and asked casually, "Shao Yuan, how long have you been here?" "

"The shopkeeper has been here for five days."

Liu Tian took out a secret recipe from the cabinet and handed it to Shao Yuan, "This is my sauce recipe, you have been pondering for the past two days, I can see that you are a very clever person, although you have not been here for a long time, but as long as you can work in the restaurant, I promise that I will not treat you badly, and in the future, I will hand over the sauce in this restaurant to you." "

Liu Qian looked at Shao Yuan with a smile, but his eyes took in all his small movements.

Shao Yuan hurriedly stuffed the secret recipe into his arms, and said with a smile, "Xie Shopkeeper is trustworthy, the little one must do it well." "

The little cook next to him quit, and when he saw Liu Tian handing over the sauce recipe to Shao Yuan, he was anxious for a while, and ran to Liu Yuan's side while Shao Yuan was out, "Shopkeeper, I don't know if I should say this little one." "

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it," Liu Tianyu had already guessed the little cook's intention, and when she gave the secret recipe just now, she saw that the little cook was in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, this Shao Yuan has only been here for a few days, how can the shopkeeper hand over such an important thing as the secret recipe to him, the little one is in the same village as him, and he knows his character, this person steals chickens and dogs on weekdays, and he is poked in the back by people from the same village," the little cook looked indignant.
