Chapter 61: Stir-fried shrimp and crabs
Qin Zheng couldn't figure out what would happen to the shopkeeper of an inn looking for her, and the money for the hotel was all paid, even if she borrowed the kitchen to cook a few side dishes, she didn't damage anything.
"Okay, I'll let you lead the way." She thought about it and decided to follow the guy to take a look.
The shopkeeper was downstairs to greet the guests, and when he saw Qin Zheng coming out of the kitchen, he immediately greeted him with a smile, said hello, and then stared at the plate in her hand and nodded again and again.
"What is the shopkeeper looking for me?" Qin Zheng acted neatly, not coldly, and straight to the point.
"Hehe, that's the case, the chef of the small shop quit his job and didn't do it, although my inn is not as good as the restaurant outside, there are many guests who eat here every day, so this meal must not be sloppy, I don't know where to find a good cook for a while, I just smelled the aroma of the girl's food, so I want to take the liberty of asking, I don't know if I can condescend in my store for a few days?" The shopkeeper's hand was on the abacus and he said with a smile.
"Let me be a cook?" Qin Zheng put the vermilion lacquer plate on the counter and said, "But my craftsmanship is not good, aren't you afraid of ruining the signboard of your inn?" ”
"What are you talking about, girl, the original chef skills in my store are not as good as yours!" The shopkeeper quickly dialed the abacus and said: "The salary will definitely not be less for you, ten taels of silver a day, and three hundred taels of silver for a full month." In addition, you can stay here for a free place and the cost of food and drink. ”
Ten taels of silver a day, this is still called a lot of wages? Of course, if it was Qin Zheng's previous world, the ten taels of silver a day's salary could indeed be regarded as rich, enough for the family to spend half a year, but in this world, the silver was not very valuable, she needed to spend twenty taels of silver for a night in the hotel, and she would earn one or two hundred silver for a random task, of course, she would not take the ten taels of silver in her eyes.
Just as she was about to refuse, Qin Zheng suddenly remembered that Liu Luoshi asked her to practice her cooking skills well, and she also needed to practice her cooking skills to an advanced level as soon as possible, and exchange dishes for jade, otherwise she would spend hundreds of taels of silver to repair weapons in three or five days, and the money she earned deducted this expense and food and drink, and she didn't know if it was enough for medicine. Besides, she only has more than 200 taels of silver left, and she works here to earn money and practice her cooking skills, which is beneficial and saves the cost of eating and drinking in the hotel, and it doesn't seem to be a loss-making deal.
Thinking like this, Qin Zheng said, "Okay, then I'll do it for a few days for the time being." ”
"Good! Great! The shopkeeper said happily: "Then from tomorrow onwards, the affairs of the kitchen will be handed over to you." As he spoke, he said to the fellow, "Ah Fa, why don't you take the plate and send the girl upstairs to rest?" ”
Qin Zheng followed the guy back to the room, and saw that after he put down the vermilion lacquer plate and went out, he opened the task panel and took a look, and saw that there were two more tasks inside, one was the chef upgrade task of "sending a letter to Master Tao Jiang in Qingjiang City", which was not limited. The other is the chef who just received the trigger task, "Qingjiang City Inn Cook". She didn't know that the rewards given after the completion of the conditional trigger task were generally better, so she didn't pay much attention to it and released the crystal beetle to have dinner.
In the next half a month, Qin Zheng worked as a cook in this Qingjiang Inn every day, constantly practicing her cooking skills, but her proficiency did not rise quickly, but she was not in a hurry, knowing that one day the proficiency of this cooking skill would stop growing like some time ago, and at that time it should be considered a bottleneck, and she could leave here to find Master Tao Jiang.
During this time, Ruotian Wuyun had also found the exquisite grass, and had sent a thousand miles of messengers to tell her, but I heard that Peng Zichu and Banyuelian's luck was not so good, they seemed to have been deceived by the shopkeeper Liu of Zuiyue Building, and they went to look for half a moon according to the news, but they didn't find anything. Qin Zheng just smiled when he heard the news, returned to the book to report his safety, and concentrated on studying and practicing his cooking skills.
This **** is slowly frying quail eggs in the kitchen, and now she likes to listen to the sound of this food sizzling in the hot oil, and the faint burnt aroma of the egg skin wafts in the room, and before she tastes it, it is already mouthwatering. In the Song Dynasty, oil was a very precious thing, and the food cooked in oil was a delicacy that only the scholars and doctors could occasionally enjoy, and when Qin Zheng first came to this world, he was amazed by the fried and fried food everywhere here, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to make such dishes himself.
"July, July!" At this time, someone shouted her name all the way into the kitchen.
Listening to the voice, he knew that it was the shopkeeper, Qin Zheng didn't look back, he was still concentrating on frying her eggs, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?" ”
"There was only one person who came to sell the pot, saying that it was an ancestral heirloom, I saw that it was still strong, and the price was not expensive, so I bought it, you can see if it is good or not." As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed her an iron pot for stir-frying, and urged her: "Is the dish that the guests in the Tianzi room want ready?" When it's done, let Ah Fa send it quickly.
"It's almost there." Qin Zheng answered, took the iron pot and glanced at it casually, and then put it aside. After frying the quail eggs, she moved the iron pan to the stove and prepared to stir-fry another shrimp. But when she took the ingredients, she found that there was not much shrimp left, which was not enough to fry a plate, and saw that there were prepared crab roe and crab meat next to it, so she simply took them together and fried them.
After frying and serving, Qin Zheng suddenly heard a soft voice prompting in her head: "Congratulations on inventing a new dish, please name it." ”
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, but these days she has become accustomed to the system prompts that sound from time to time, although the content of this prompt is the first time she has heard it, but she still reacted quickly, thinking in her mind, let's call it fried shrimp and crabs.
"Congratulations, the name is successful, and your cooking proficiency has increased by 100."
Hundred?! This time, Qin Zheng was really pleasantly surprised, and he didn't even notice that Ah Fa came in and took the dishes.
These days, she has made dishes and soups according to the records in "Luo's Recipe" and "Gu's Medicinal Diet", and after a hard day, her cooking proficiency has only increased by about 100, can inventing a new dish be worth a day's practice? She couldn't believe it, so she flipped through the control panel and checked it to find out if it was true, so she began to wonder if she should invent more new dishes, so that it wouldn't be long before she could reach full proficiency.
Qin Zheng was thinking about it, when Ah Fa walked in and interrupted her thoughts: "In July, the guests in the Tianzi room also want a plate of fried shrimp and crabs!" ”
"Huh?" Qin Zheng, who was distracted, came back to his senses and said hello, only then did he remember that the shrimp had run out, so he asked Ah Fa to hurry up and buy some more.
After the fresh shrimp were bought and peeled, Qin Zheng washed the pot and fried a plate of fried shrimp and crabs, but this time the proficiency did not increase as much as just now, and it was still the same as when making ordinary dishes.
Seeing Ah Fa take the plate, Qin Zheng sat on a small bench and lit the fire while thinking in his heart which ingredients could be combined to make a fresh dish with a unique taste.
After a while, Ah Fa walked in again, with a bitter face, holding a plate in his hand and saying to Qin Zheng: "In July, the guests said that these two plates of fried shrimp and crabs taste different, and they asked the previous chef to fry them." I said that you are the only cook in our shop, but they don't believe it, so they must change. ”
