"The boss, there is really no seafood, even those snails or something, all of them are used, at least twenty catties of seafood are eaten, and this seafood is more shell and less meat, it is really not enough to eat, I heard several tables of guests say that they are not full." Said a junior in the special kitchen.

"And how many orders are left undone?" The Grand Steward asked in a trembling voice.

"There are more than a dozen tables, there are twenty tables reserved for night, and fifteen tables for supper. Another Xiao Er, who was in charge of counting the list, said.

"It's over, it's over, it's dozens of tables, the shopkeeper knows, I'm scolding, this seafood is the fastest, and it will arrive tomorrow morning, and I can't take it out at all now!" Besides, we are a first-class residence, and we can't go to other restaurants to collect some for emergencies, it will ruin our reputation! The chief steward was so anxious that he lamented, "And it's not easy to offend everyone who comes here to eat, and if you go and tell them that there is no seafood now, won't you offend a group of people?" ”

"I have a way, the chief manager will try to go around, maybe it can be reversed." Hua Manxi listened, frowned slightly, and said.

"What can Chef Hua do, if you can save the game, you will be my aunt and grandmother in the future!" The chief steward arched his hand at her and said.

"I heard that the shopkeeper is the lord of Yunhua?" Hua Manxi said softly, "The chief manager can tell the matter completely, let the shopkeeper go to the palace to borrow some seafood for emergency, the palace must have reserves, which will not damage the reputation of Yipinju, and at the moment these lists, can not be refused, but brush the pot, and not only seafood can be brushed, the general manager you go with the list, just say that our special kitchen today launched a new whole sheep package, meat and lamb slices, lamb belly, as well as a whole beef package, beef slices, beef shutters, etc. instead of seafood, if you promise to try new customers, Then we will give away a new dish with three flavors, which is guaranteed to be a new dish that they have never heard of. ”

"That's a good idea! But where can I get three new dishes? The chief manager glanced at Hua Manxi suspiciously, and said with some disbelief, "Could it be that Chef Hua can do it?" ”

Hua Manxi nodded and said casually: "These three dishes are used as appetizers, one is Qinglong Lying Snow, one is a whisper, and the other is a silver bud covering the quilt." ”

As soon as the name of the dish was said, the chief manager finally showed a smile, gave Hua Manxi a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Chef Hua is really hidden!" Can you tell me what these three dishes are? ”

Not only the chief manager, but even the other masters who helped in the kitchen, Xiao Er, and the assistant cook, all looked at Hua Manxi with blank eyes, wanting to find out.

"These three dishes will be sold first, so that the chief manager can go and talk to the guests." Hua Manxi said slightly.

Indeed, now is not the time to inquire about new dishes, there are still so many guests to deal with, the chief manager took the list in his hand, immediately turned around and found the manager of the No. 1 kitchen, and asked him to go to Qinfu, report the lack of seafood to the lord of Yunhua, and go to the palace to borrow some seafood for emergency.

Originally, these guests came for the seafood pot, and most of them were reluctant to hear that they were going to change to mutton and beef, which were usually tired of eating, but the chief manager reported the names of the three dishes, which aroused the curiosity of most people.

There is a way to kill the cat with curiosity, just to know what these three dishes are, most of the customers would rather change to other pots, and there are a few tables that are particularly obsessed with eating seafood pots.

Everything worked together flawlessly, and it easily coped with a reputation crisis of Yipinju.

Hua Manxi, on the other hand, was busy changing dishes in the kitchen.

In fact, the green dragon lying in the snow, that is, the cucumber mixed with white sugar, only need to slice the whole cucumber, but do not cut off, let the cucumber maintain a dragon-like shape, sprinkle a little white sugar in the gap between the slices, and finally put some sugar under the cucumber, decorate with black grapes or red cherries, as the eyes of the green dragon.

And whispering, it is a cold dish, in fact, it is a mouth strip and pig ears, since it is a cold dish, most of them are marinated, and then mixed with some condiments.

After blanching the water to remove the fishy, the pig's mouth and pig ears are put into the brine to boil, colored, taken out and cooled after cooking, and then cut into thin strips, and then accompanied by sesame seeds, sesame oil, a little balsamic vinegar, coriander, green onions, crushed peanuts, etc., it is a good cold dish.

And the silver tooth cover quilt, it is even simpler, a few eggs are broken and fried, it is a golden quilt, and the silver tooth, just pinch the soybean sprouts to remove the tail, leaving only the silver part in the middle, blanching the water with the remaining juice just mixed with the ears slightly mixed.

When these three dishes were made, the chefs and assistants in the kitchen were dumbfounded.

Hua Manxi just reported the names of those dishes, how did they hear it, they thought it was a majestic and complicated dish, who would have thought to make it, but it was a home-cooked dish that revealed a trace of weirdness in the ordinary!

"Chef Hua, cucumber mixed with sugar, braised pig's ears and pig's mouth strips, bean sprouts and eggs, will such dishes make customers feel deceived?" Some masters were very uneasy, and asked Hua Manxi euphemistically.

Hua Manxi spread out the spatula and said very frankly: "How can we deceive people, aren't these three new dishes?" Can we make such a dish in Yipinju? Besides, do these three dishes match the name of the dish? Didn't you? ”

Everyone silently looked at the new dishes, and there was no way to refute it, because what Chef Hua said was true!

Just as he was cooking the new dishes and adjusting the bottom and dipping sauce of the mutton and beef hot pot, the chief manager came back gasping and went straight to Hua Manxi and said, "Chef Hua, distinguished guest, distinguished guest, distinguished guest wants to see you." ”

The general manager has been working in Yipinju for almost 20 years, and Yipinju has been here since the store opened, and he is sleek and accurate, in a place like Kyoto, there is naturally no shortage of greetings from high-ranking officials and nobles, but if he can be so shocked and called a distinguished guest, it must be a big deal.

Hua Manxi didn't dare to slack off, took off his hat and apron full of the smell of oil smoke, and went to the best private room with the chief manager.

After the chief manager asked for instructions, he led Hua Manxi in, and saw that the chief manager had not raised his head, but lowered his head slightly, and Hua Manxi did not dare to make a mistake, and kept following him with low eyebrows.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she could vaguely see that the people in the seat were two women, and they were two noble ladies, all of them were jewels and magnificent.

"Shopkeeper, Chef Hua is here." The chief manager was also very polite and reported in a low voice.

The shopkeeper, that is the lord of Yunhua, Hua Manxi has been to Yipinju for some days, I heard the master around me say, the lord of Yunhua is a person with clear rewards and punishments, in Yipinju, you do well, there will naturally be a reward, and those who fish in troubled waters will not stay.

"Don't be restrained, keep your head up." The voice of the Yunhua County Lord had a majesty, but it was not the kind that was sharp.

Hua Manxi raised his head slightly, and said with a dignified expression: "I've seen the shopkeeper." ”

Lord Yunhua smiled and said in a low voice: "Chef Hua doesn't need to be nervous, Ting'er and Rong'er have already told me about you, I heard that they had a little accident when they went to play, and they still rely on you to take care of it." ”

"Qin Shizi is serious, I should be a small chef." Hua Manxi is neither humble nor arrogant.

"This time, the hot pot has brought a lot of profits to Yipinju, and I would have rewarded you extra." Seeing that she was advancing and retreating properly, the lord of Yunhua County was very polite, and glanced at her again.

This girl is young, and she has such a heart, which is not simple.

"The shopkeeper's words are serious, since the chef is in Yipinju, it is also appropriate to do things for Yipinju, and the recipe at the bottom of the pot has already been paid, so there is no need for additional rewards." Hua Manxi said frankly, "Besides, it's not a secret that the bottom of this pot is everywhere, our food festival in Shishan County is full of such pots." ”

Just because it is not the only one, so it will buy out the bottom of the pot for 10,000 taels of silver, if it is the only one, this silver will definitely not be able to take it, and the stone mountain is so far away from Kyoto, the business of the two families does not affect each other at all, and it is not far from the only one.

"By the way, I came to you because I asked you something, my grandmother, I like to eat pots very much, but the red oil is too spicy, she doesn't like to eat mushrooms, the clear soup is lighter, she rarely has a greedy mouth, I want to come to my granddaughter to eat a pot, do you have other soup bases, suitable for the elderly? The pot is cooked and eaten, although it is fresh, but in the end it is a little hot, and the elderly can't stand it. Lord Yunhua suddenly asked.

When he was in Shishan before, Hua Manxi heard Qin Baiting and his party mention that this Yunhua County Lord is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's cousin, so her grandmother is not the most expensive Empress Dowager in the palace!

No wonder the chief manager is panicking, this is really big!

"Speaking of the fire, there is also a soup base in the kitchen, called Chrysanthemum Pot, which uses some medicinal herbs and chrysanthemums to cook into a soup base, which is full of aroma and heat, and is the most suitable for the elderly." Hua Manxi suddenly had an idea, thought of the chrysanthemum hot pot of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and painted the scoop according to the gourd.

"Chrysanthemum pot, that's really unheard of, grandmother, what do you think?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Yunhua County Lord, and he asked the Empress Dowager next to him.

"That's naturally good, and when the mourners listen to it, they think it's very good." Although the Empress Dowager is old, her voice is still full of energy, and she said to Hua Manxi, "Little girl, you go and let the mourning family taste it, the mourning family has not eaten a pot for many years, you can say that it is on fire, and you don't give it to the mourning family!" ”
