He didn't believe that this little lady could fry the chicken out of flowers, if so, why not buy her a few chickens, they have a new dish in the store, anyway, these old customers often come to his store, order and go to these dishes, they have long said that they are tired of eating, and the shopkeeper Zhang also wants to change the dishes in the store.

Leng Yue killed the chicken and plucked the feathers, prepared the pickled materials, and the whole set of actions was smooth, and the stir-fry masters were ashamed of themselves, and the shopkeeper Zhang was also stunned, this little lady was too fast, he, he didn't even see what was put in clearly.

Heat the oil pot, fry the ginger and garlic coldly, throw the chopped chicken pieces into the pot and start simmering, half an hour, the fragrance of the chicken in the pot wafts out, the shopkeeper wants to drool a little, and asks: "Little lady, is your dish famous?" ”

"Roast chicken." Leng Yue smiled and said: "If the shopkeeper is willing to cooperate with me, you can add Zhang's roast chicken as the main dish." ”

The shopkeeper was speechless, and said safely: "I'll try it first, no matter how fragrant this dish smells, it still depends on whether it tastes good or not." ”

"That's nature." Leng Yue saw that the time was about the same, put the chicken out of the pot, took a pair of chopsticks and said, "Shopkeeper, you can taste it!" Today's preparation is a bit rushed, and the taste is a little off, but it doesn't matter, my chickens are raised with special feed, even if you are in a hurry, the taste of the burnt is very delicious. ”

"I'll taste it." The shopkeeper took the fast seed, first dipped it in some soup, then sandwiched a small piece of ginger, and finally sandwiched the chicken to eat.

The taste is good, the spicy and umami are neutralized very much, this dish is a good dish for people with heavy tastes, but isn't the taste of eating in Yangjie Town too heavy? It's perfect for drinking, and with this dish, the drinkers in those shops won't be tasteless anymore.

"How? Shopkeeper? Leng Yue saw that the shopkeeper didn't speak for a long time, and asked.

Shopkeeper Zhang exclaimed: "Okay, very good, little lady, you are so good at cooking, why don't you be a cook here with me, how about five taels of silver a month?" ”

Leng Yue smiled helplessly: "Thanks to the shopkeeper's love, how can I cook any dishes, raise chickens by myself, and just think about how to sell chickens to make some money all day long, from feed feeding, to how to fry delicious, and then I will figure out this dish." ”

Why do people who have tasted her craft like to call her a cook?

In the past, I just wanted to gain a foothold in the Leng family and learn some cooking skills to please her father, but then I couldn't stay in the Leng family, and after I arrived in the army, cooking became a part of her life.

This roast chicken was learned from a master in Hunan, but fortunately, she learned it, otherwise her chicken stayed at home, and she didn't know how much rice bran would be wasted.

"So?" Shopkeeper Zhang was convinced of Leng Yue's words, thinking that this dish was delicious, and he also had the intention to cooperate with Leng Yue, calculated the usual business in the store, and asked, "How many chickens like this do you have at home?" ”

"A lot." Leng Yue said a vague number.

"That's the case, little lady, I'm very optimistic about your dish, today I'll let Xiao Er and them push out this dish, seven or eight chickens are enough, if this dish becomes more and more popular in the future, your chickens can't catch up with the sales volume in my store, so how can it be good?" There is also a head office and two branches in the prefecture.

If this dish is a signboard, the two restaurants will add up, and there will be hundreds of them every day.

Leng Yue saw that there was a big business to pick up, and smiled, even if this rooster is sold out at home, other families have it, why worry about not having a rooster to sell to him, "You don't have to worry about it, since I dare to push the chicken, I inquired about the strength of Zhang Yuan's foreign hotel, and it is no problem to supply a hundred chickens a day, but it is ......"

"Just what?" The shopkeeper saw that there were conditions behind Leng Yue, and asked nervously.

Leng Yue saw that the shopkeeper Zhang was so nervous and cooperative, and raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I also said just now, my rooster is fed with special feed, and the price is naturally more expensive than that of ordinary roosters." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, what should he be, no matter how expensive the rooster is, it can't be more expensive than the price in his store, besides, a rooster of five or six catties can make a few plates of such dishes, "Little lady, you say a price, I'll think about it." ”

said that it was considered, Leng Yue knew that this business was done, and he tacitly calculated the price difference in his heart, and said confidently: "Some ordinary chickens in the bazaar are 11 yuan a catty, and mine is 20 yuan a catty, can the shopkeeper accept it?" ”

"Deal!" The shopkeeper Zhang is also a cheerful person, and when he heard that the price was reasonable, he immediately agreed, and called Xiao Er, who came to help the cook, "You go and weigh the chickens in the cage of the little lady, see how many catties, and then let the counter be counted as twenty pounds a catty to this little lady." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er put down the chopping of vegetables and went to weigh them.

The shopkeeper thought that even if the little lady said that this dish was prepared in a hurry, it still tasted very good, so he asked another assistant cook to divide a chicken made by Leng Yue into more than a dozen small plates, and instructed: "The guests who came today will give this plate of chicken to each table." ”

Help the cook make a note of it.

Leng Yue thought to himself that this shopkeeper really has a business mind, and letting guests taste the taste for free, and ordering this dish after eating delicious is indeed the best way to launch this dish, I really hope that this dish will play a sign, so that her business will continue to flow.

"Shopkeeper, a total of 42 pounds." The second junior came back and took 840 yuan.

The shopkeeper Zhang saw that there was less than a penny, so he pushed Xiao Er, "You go to the counter and take a tael of silver, and make up a whole number for this little lady." ”

"Shopkeeper, no! I just said that the rooster I made just now and asked the shopkeeper to taste it, so I don't need to count the money. Leng Yue pulled Xiao Er, who turned around, and said.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this little lady was also a real person, and said with a smile: "Let's round it up, I'll trouble you to teach me how to marinate this chicken later." ”

When it comes to stir-frying in the pot, there is nothing special, that is, when marinating, there are a few things that the little lady uses her own ingredients, Zhang Zhang's shopkeeper thinks, this recipe must be a secret system, he learns it alone, and then lets the chef fry it, so that others have no way to compete with him.

"Okay." Cold reading should be.

After teaching the shopkeeper how to marinate chicken, he said the number of orders every day, and reported the address of his home, and Leng Yue took a tael of silver and walked out of the Heyi Restaurant from the back door of the kitchen.

Xiaoji didn't book a box in Xiangwei Building, so he brought his classmates from Han County to Heyi Hotel.

When the shopkeeper heard that the county magistrate was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him, bowed and said with a smile: "The county lord is here, which really makes the small shop shine." ”

Xiao Ji waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, shopkeeper Zhang, arrange a good box for me and a few classmates." ”

"Please follow me." Shopkeeper Zhang personally took a few distinguished guests upstairs.

"Lord He, when you came to see me today, I originally wanted to book a good box in Xiangwei Building to entertain you, but I didn't want it to be full, so I had to invite you here, but the taste of Heyi Hotel is also good, today a few of our classmates have a good drink, and we won't return home if we don't get drunk." Xiao Ji patted He Xu, who was about the same age as him.

"Lord Xiao is polite!" He Xu said with a smile: "After the scientific examination, we haven't seen each other for a few years, so this time I will come to see you when I am idle in the yamen." ”

Xiao Ji didn't talk, the other classmates who accompanied him just laughed, Xiao Ji asked this He Xu to help him check the affairs of Lian Nian's family, this He Xu actually took advantage of his request to him, hinted in the letter that he wanted to marry Ling'er as his wife, thinking that this He Xu, born in a poor family, is mainly of bad character, has been an official for a few years, the official style is not very good, and he receives bribes all year round, this kind of person is very despised in his Xiao Ji's eyes, how can he marry Ling'er to him.

This time he came to the door in person, Sima Zhizhi was clearly revealed, Xiao Ji sneered in his heart, even if he wanted to know about the Lian family, he would never let people talk to him about Ling'er's lifelong events.

After ordering some dishes, Shopkeeper Zhang personally brought the roast chicken made by Leng Yue to the table, and smiled at Xiao Ji: "Lord Xiao, this is a new dish that our store asked a master to make today, you can try it." ”

"We didn't order this dish." Xiaoji doesn't see anything special about this chicken, it's just that there are more ingredients.

The shopkeeper shook his hand and said: "The adult misunderstood, this is sent by our store, the adult tastes it, and gives an evaluation." ”

"Is it delicious?" He Xu frowned, just now they ordered stewed chicken, this is fried and not fried, stewed is not stewed chicken, is this Heyi restaurant specializing in chicken dishes?

"Adults will taste it first." Shopkeeper Zhang highly recommended.

Xiaoji sandwiched a piece of chicken, took a bite, and nodded: "This chicken is spicy and tender, not bad, shopkeeper Zhang, you have taken a lot of effort to make the chicken so delicious." ”

"I'm bothered, this is a little lady who taught our store to do it." Shopkeeper Zhang saw that Lord Xiao had a very high evaluation, and said happily: "Do you want to order one?" ”

"Order one." The more Xiaoji ate, the more flavorful he became, and agreed.

"Ordered so many dishes, are you done eating? Let's just remove the stewed chicken. He Xu doesn't like to eat chicken very much, he likes to eat some wing ginseng and abalone, this kind of ordinary dish, I really don't like it.

"No, no." Xiao Ji waved his hand and said to He Xu: "Lord He tastes it first, this dish is spicy, just drink some chicken soup to neutralize it, it's delicious." ”

"Is it that delicious?" He Xu also sandwiched a piece, and said in disbelief.

"I remember that your taste is also on the heavy side, try it, it's really good." Xiaoji couldn't stop eating, thinking that the shopkeeper just said that this dish was taught by a little lady to make it, isn't it?

"Sure enough, it tastes good and delicious." He Xu, who tasted a piece of chicken, also praised.

"Is it a village woman from Miaoshan Village who taught you how to cook this dish?" Xiao Ji wanted to know if his guess was right, so he asked the shopkeeper.

"My lord is really clever, can you know this?" Shopkeeper Zhang gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Ji chuckled and said: "Where is my clever calculation, that village woman cooked once in my house, her craftsmanship is more or less eaten, my father originally wanted to use thirty taels of silver to invite her to be a cook in the house, but she refused, so she was very impressed." ”

This month, Niang, ran to teach the craft of Heyi Restaurant, how good is she at doing business?

Shopkeeper Zhang was speechless, Xiaofu spent thirty taels of silver to invite her to be a cook? He actually made five taels, no wonder the little lady only laughed and didn't speak.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to chat.

A classmate raised his glass to Xiaoji and said softly, "Has Lord Xiao heard?" Liu Qian'er, the daughter of Mrs. Liu's eldest lady, was married to General Yang, who had just returned to the dynasty, and this Liu family is really good at relationships. ”

"They already have a bit of a Korea-China relationship in the capital, and it is not strange that they can give their daughter to General Yang." Xiaoji didn't think it was the way.

The classmate who spoke sneered disdainfully: "Then the Liu Mansion has also relied on Old Lady Liu to be the imperial chef for a few years, and has a beautiful scenery, a businessman's family, how can he be worthy of General Yang who has made military achievements, Miss Ling'er is about the same." ”

Xiao Ji looked at He Xu and said with a smile: "If you are not worthy, General Yang also agreed to this marriage, okay, don't discuss this matter outside, so as not to cause some verbal disputes." ”

He Xu took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly: "Speaking of this General Yang, this official has checked the files, and the youngest son of the Lian family, Lian Hao, has also been a pioneer under him, and I heard that he has made a lot of contributions." ”
