Chapter 257: Dish
"Listen to you!" Of course Mu Qing has no opinion!
"That, let's do it over there!" Chiyang said as he secretly took out two silver coins from the storage space and threw them to the shopkeeper and said, "You go pick out a few good dishes for us, you know?"
"Yes, don't worry, this master, leave this little thing to me, and I promise to do it beautifully for you!"
The shopkeeper immediately put away the two silver coins and assured with a smile.
"Alright, let's go and serve the food!"
Chiyang didn't have anything to say, and walked towards the empty table with Mu Qing.
"Chiyang, you are too big, it's too much to give him two silver coins!"
After Mu Qing sat down and saw the shopkeeper leave, she reprimanded Chiyang Dao in a low voice.
"Haha, what's the point of taking you to dinner with two silver coins, even if I can sell two gold coins!" Chiyang patted his pocket, very proud.
Chiyang didn't want to think about it when he said this, this money was still left over from him borrowing Wuyang!
"You can speak!" Mu Qing was very useful, but she was still a little scared and said, "Two silver coins are still too much, you should exchange them for two copper coins in the future, it's better not to give them!"
"You money fan, I'll pay attention to it in the future!" Chiyang smiled helplessly.
"Hmph~ count you as acquaintances!" After Mu Qing finished speaking, the two began to talk about the difference between Star Dou City and Yunhai City.
It wasn't until the dish was served that Chiyang described everything about Star Dou City to her.
In fact, the biggest difference between the two cities is that they vary from place to place, Star Dou City has lush vegetation, a huge variety of fruits and game, and a large grain planting area, making it the main grain-producing city of the Chuyun Empire.
Yunhai City is close to the sea, and the people usually make a living by fishing, and every household usually eats seafood and other foods, and noodles are rare.
Mu Qing still had to go through some twists and turns when he sat down in Yunhai City, but fortunately, his father had a good relationship with a merchant in Star Dou City before his death, so that there would be a constant supply of fresh flour.
There are good and bad things in both cities, and the overall details don't matter, the most important thing is that Mu Qing and Chiyang's dishes have been prepared.
"Two guests, this is the signature dish of our restaurant, which are Yuanlai Mud, Yuanding Sanshen, Yuanmuxi Fish, and finally our staple food, Yuankeng Side!"
The shopkeeper put one side of the three dishes on the table and introduced them separately, Chiyang pointed to the three dishes and said very interestingly, "Little Er, isn't this fried loach, cold mountain ginseng, boiled noodles and carp, why is the name so strange, is there any meaning in it?"
"Yes, is there any meaning?" Mu Qing also had questions about this.
"Don't you know this guest, our name is Yuanyuan Hotel, so all the dishes in our store are related to the word Yuan, but the corresponding things in our store are better than others, I don't believe you two can try it!"
"Ao~ Is that really the case?, then I have to taste it!" Chiyang smiled and picked up the chopsticks and smiled at Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, don't you make a good dish, you take a bite and taste it!"
"Then I'm welcome!" Mu Qing picked up the chopsticks and added the dish called Yuanding Sanshen, and the taste of wild ginseng came out in one bite, "Hmm~ Yes, this dish is reasonable, the taste is salty but full of umami, the taste is crisp and full of juice, it is a good cold dish." ”
Saying that, Mu Qing moved her chopsticks to the fish again, "I'll try this fish again!"
Mu Qing used chopsticks to slightly clamp a piece of fish lips and put it in her mouth, and then put a piece of belly meat into her mouth, tasted it a little and said, "Well, this fish is stronger than that wild ginseng, comparable to my craftsmanship, but the heat is a little big, resulting in insufficient moisture in the fish, making the taste dry, but overall this is a good fish!"
"Roar~ I don't understand what this guest said, but it seems to make sense, then you eat first, I have to be busy, just call me at any time if you have any needs!"
"Go, go!"
Xiao Er got Chiyang's consent and turned around to greet the other guests.
After Chiyang waited for Xiao Er to leave, he also took a bite of fish and meat to eat, but he didn't taste anything except delicious, so he asked Mu Qing, "Hey Muqing, how did you taste so many doorways, why can't I eat any of them!"
"Hee-hee~" Mu Qing took another bite of fish, and teased Chiyang with a smile, "You said that you are eating, eating can only fill your stomach, not let you taste all kinds of flavors, so don't think about it, just eat!"
"Alas~ I don't like to hear what you say, I must eat to make a name for myself today, I still don't believe it!" Chiyang turned into grief and indignation, and ate in a big gulp.
Mu Qing smiled when she saw this, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, if she didn't eat again, it was estimated that the dishes on this table would go into Chiyang's stomach.
When the two of them were halfway through eating, a woman suddenly ran out of the serving mouth, this woman was holding a big spoon in her hand, wearing an apron, and her body was full of oil smoke, and she looked like the chef in the back kitchen.
"Little two, which guy said my dishes are old?" the woman stood at the counter and glanced around, her eyes as if they were on fire.
And standing next to him was the shopkeeper just now, at this time he regretted his cheap mouth very much, and leaked Mu Qing's comment, causing the female chef to get angry and try to debate with Mu Qing.
"That, Miss Peng Yulou, let's go back, don't you just think I farted just now?"
"No, I have to comment with her today, why do you say that my fish is hot!" Peng Yulou looked unwilling.
The volume of these words was not small, Mu Qing heard it clearly in the corner, and she put up with it when she said anything else, but when it came to cooking, she was not convinced by anyone, and suddenly shouted, "What did I say, what?
"It turned out to be you!" Peng Yulou locked on to the target and rushed to Mu Qing's side violently, pointing to the fish that had not yet been eaten and said, "Why did you say that my fish is so hot, I can't tell if I am not finished with you today!"
Chiyang had never seen such a domineering person, and he was stopped by Mu Qing just when he wanted to get angry.
"Let me do it, I'm a professional in this area!" Mu Qing said to Chiyang very confidently.
Seeing this, Chiyang stopped talking, but quietly watched what Mu Qing was going to do.
"Say, don't sell it to me!" Peng Yulou still said excitedly, pointing to the fish.
"Since you want to hear it, then I'll give you a good talk!"
Mu Qing picked up the fish body that was only half left, and said, "The common name of the dish you make is steamed fish, although this method is simple, but there is also a certain degree of difficulty, such as mastering the heat." ”
Mu Qing pointed to the ingredients on the plate with another hand, "Your ingredients are very complete, the amount of green onions, ginger, garlic, and the amount is just right, and the time to steam the fish is just right, steaming on high heat for fifteen to twenty minutes, but you made a mistake in the last step, do you know what it is?"
Peng Yulou was puzzled by Mu Qing's question, so he asked urgently, "You are here, I see what you can say!"
Peng Yulou was obviously very confident in his cooking skills, and he didn't believe that Mu Qing could say anything at all.
But Mu Qing smiled contemptuously and said lightly, "Oil temperature, your last oil temperature is too high, when you finally poured oil on the fish, you ignored the oil temperature, you see that the fish is scorched now, and the fish meat inside will definitely lose a lot of water after this high temperature, so you are defeated at this step!"
"The oil temperature, impossible, my oil temperature is all controlled, it is impossible to make a mistake!" Peng Yulou looked at the surface of the fish carefully, and sure enough, as Mu Qing said, she was still confident and couldn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can taste it yourself, I don't believe that you can't taste that dryness as a famous chef!" Mu Qing took out a new pair of chopsticks and handed them to Peng Yulou, signaling her to be in person!
"Taste it, who will you be afraid of!"
Not to be outdone, Peng Yulou picked up the chopsticks and caught the fish in the mouth, and sure enough, a sense of dryness came in the mouth, which completely replaced the umami of the fish, making the whole dish have a major defect!
"I'm right, your oil temperature is indeed too high!" Mu Qing looked at the other party's expression and knew that she had won!
And that Peng Yulou didn't give up and ate a few more bites, and finally put down his chopsticks weakly, and apologized to Mu Qing in a low voice, "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, I will admit it if you want to scold or punish me, as long as you are willing to teach me how to correct my mistakes!"
"You and I don't dare to be, we are peers and don't need to use honorific titles. Mu Qing explained politely, "In fact, the best way to control the oil temperature is to use a small stove, you must be a big stove hot oil now, there must be a big fire under the big stove, as long as it is a big fire, it is not easy to grasp the oil temperature, you can change to a small stove next time you heat the oil, in this way, the oil temperature of the small stove must be controlled more accurately than before!"
"Ao~ So that's the case!" Peng Yulou said with a burst of enlightenment, she never thought it would be such a simple reason, and she felt really ashamed.
"Thank you girl for your advice, can you leave your name and address, I will visit in the future to ask for advice!"
Peng Yulou is a person who can bend and stretch, and when he sees someone who is higher than his cooking skills, he wants to ask for advice and learn.
"I don't need this, I don't have a fixed place to live now, maybe I'll leave Star Dou City one day?" Mu Qing glanced at Chiyang and said quietly.
However, saying that there was a heart, and listening to the unintentional, Chiyang still didn't understand the deep meaning, but only perfunctorily dissuaded, "You can rest assured that you can stay in Star Dou City, after all, with me here, no one dares to bully you!"
Chiyang didn't figure it out, but someone figured it out, but it didn't mean the same thing!
"This girl, if you don't dislike it, you can stay with me!" Peng Yulou pointed to all the people eating and drinking on the third floor, "Girl, look, with so many people, my back kitchen is not enough at all, if you can, how about you stay with me as a chef?"
"Alas~ This is a good thing, Mu Qing, you can think about it!" Before Mu Qing could speak, Chiyang answered for her first.
"Hmph, shut up for me!" Mu Qing pursed her mouth and snorted angrily, "Do you think I'm troublesome and want to send me away, I tell you that there is no way, and I won't leave with you in the future!"
"Mu Qing, I didn't mean that, you listen to my explanation!" Chiyang hurriedly apologized, but what he said just now was also intentional.
After all, it is always inconvenient for lonely men and widows to live in the same room, and there are two mountains of Ma Shasha and Ma Lili pressing on it, especially Ma Shasha, if she knows, then she will not be finished!
