Chapter 162: Research the Secret Recipe
Xiao Zhi waited for a while, and the dishes were served one by one, four dishes, one soup and rice.
"Objectively, our dishes are all ready, and we eat objectively and slowly." After Zheng Erzhu finished speaking, he continued to busy himself.
Xiao Zhi looked at the food on the table, and felt that he didn't feel too vulgar when he looked at it, and it seemed to be quite delicious when he looked at the table next to him just now, and he seemed to see the housekeeper of the Yuhou family coming over to order delivery.
"I want to see how good this thing is!" Xiao Zhi didn't believe that this thing could be better than what the imperial kitchen in the palace made, so many dignitaries and nobles could look down on it, and he began to be curious.
Picking up the chopsticks, Xiao Zhi took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and then frowned.
"Little Hou Ye, don't eat it if it's not delicious." When the family saw that Xiao Zhi's complexion was not good, he thought it was not delicious.
As a result, Xiao Zhi took all the other dishes and threw them into his mouth, he didn't think he was a greedy person, but this dish was ......
"What's going on, why is it so delicious?" Xiao Zhi ate a lot, and finally sat directly on his belly and sat aside.
Zheng Erzhu saw that he had almost eaten here, so he came over to talk.
"This guest officer should be the first time to come to our shop, and I only served a few dishes to the guest officer today, and there are more than these delicious things in our shop!" Zheng Erzhu said.
As soon as he heard that there were other good dishes, Xiao Zhi slapped the money bag directly on the table and said, "Up, give it to me!" ”
"It's all on? That's not easy, we have several menus, it is estimated that we can't finish it in a day, or serve it first? ”
"Up! Hurry up! Xiao Zhi didn't believe it, where can there be more menus in this small shop!
Zheng Erzhu smiled and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to deliver the menu, and after seeing Shen Pomegranate, he said directly: "Another one came to explore the bottom, and asked for a table directly!" He had already seen that this person had come with a purpose, and there were not one or two people from their store, and these people who came to the bottom of the store alone had made the restaurant generate a lot of income.
Shen Shiliu smiled: "Cheng, remember to give someone a fruit plate for a while, although it is a peer, but people take care of our business, we also want to let people eat real benefits!" Saying that, Shen Shimei also sang.
The dishes were served one by one, and the customers at the next table were all attracted to it, all staring at Xiao Zhi.
Zheng Erzhu began to report the names of the dishes when he served the dishes, and after a large list of dish names, Zheng Erzhu said: "Guest officer, the dishes are complete, in order to thank the guest officer for appreciating his face, our shopkeeper said, send a large fruit plate of ice unicorn, and the guest officer will use it slowly!" ”
Xiao Zhi looked at a table of dishes, and he didn't eat less at the state banquet, but compared with the table in front of him, he always felt that the dishes made by the imperial chef were soulless!
Xiao Zhi began to eat, he had already eaten a stomach just now, and this time he ate two bites of everything, but he still felt panicked.
"It's really evil!" Xiao Zhi looked at the table of dishes, all of which were already supported, but he still felt that he still hadn't eaten enough.
"Little Hou Ye, are you okay?" The family looked at Xiao Zhi's face as if it was dark, and thought that he had eaten something.
Xiao Zhi glanced at it, and then said, "Take it away, take the rest away!" ”
The family felt that his little marquis might have really eaten badly, and he would go out to eat in a small restaurant, but he would have to "walk around without eating"?
When paying, Zheng Erzhu happily led it to the counter, and as soon as Du Niangzi settled the bill, the silver was in her pocket.
As soon as Zheng Erzhu went to the back kitchen and talked to Shen Shimei, Shen Shiliu smiled and said, "It's all packed?" It seems that I went to study the secret recipe! ”
"Pomegranate, our secret recipe won't really be researched, right?" Zheng Erzhu was worried.
Shen Shiliu nodded: "Of course it will, but the secret recipe is not just a taste, even if I write down the seasoning for them, the things made are different!" So every time she cooks, she lets Wen Huai watch from the side, instead of giving the secret recipe directly!
Zheng Erzhu nodded: "Sister, high!" ”
Shen Pomegranate is proud, she eats all over the world with one trick, as long as her restaurant is always open, she will never starve to death!
In the evening, Du Xuanmo came back, and Shen Shimei also rested early.
Shen Shiliu sat on the bed, patted the position next to him and asked Du Xuanmo, "Do you want a piece?" ”
Du Xuanmo couldn't cry or laugh: "I won't refuse!" ”
Shen Shiliu grinned into the quilt, not daring to tease Du Xuanmo anymore.
Du Xuanmo saw that it was not too early, so he lay on the bed in the outer room, and Shen Shiliu said in the inner room: "Tomorrow, you can move the bed to the inner room." ”
Du Xuanmo pursed his lips and smiled, and finally hummed. 、
On the other end, Luhou Mansion, although it is already the dead of night, is still relatively noisy.
"How's it going?" Xiao Zhi looked at the eight cooks standing in the courtyard, all of whom Yanxia had found in one day.
One by one, the cook sang all the leftovers that Xiao Zhi brought back from the table, and now it was time to report.
Xiao Zhi looked at the eight cooks, all of them had good skills that could be found, and there were retired imperial chefs among them, so he didn't believe that he couldn't break this cooking recipe!
"Let's talk about it, if anyone can restore these dishes, who will be the chef of my Deshun Building, and the salary will be doubled!" Xiao Zhi directly gave a heavy reward, so he didn't believe that there was no brave man under the heavy reward!
As soon as he heard that the salary was doubled, the eight cooks were all excited, Xiao Zhi smiled, and directly set up the stove in the yard, and he had to test it!
In the middle of the night, the people listened to the crackling of the oil pot in the yard, and they didn't know what their master was going to do!
At night, Xiao Zhi looked at a large number of dishes in front of him, very satisfied, and looked like something was going on. I picked up the chopsticks and put a piece in my mouth, my face was dark, phew, I vomited, I changed to another plate, I took a bite, bah, I vomited again!
"That's not right!" Xiao Zhi said directly, the dishes all look quite similar, but they are not a thing at all in the mouth! No matter in terms of texture and taste, it is just a gourd painting, which is not as delicious as it is at all!
Steward Li saw that it was not early, so he said, "Little Marquis, if you don't come here today first, and then find the cook again tomorrow, this matter is in a hurry!" ”
Xiao Zhi was discouraged and let the eight cooks go first.
"It's all rice buckets, and it's so unpalatable to cook a dish!" Xiao Zhi said and went back to the room angrily.
…………
Shen Shiliu counted the days, Yin Qingqing seemed to have lived in the nunnery for too long, and Du Niangzi came back first because she was relieved not to leave the store, and it was not a good thing that Yin Qingqing had been living in the nunnery.
"Mother, my cousin has lived in the nunnery for too long, and the food and accommodation there must not be as good as at home, so it's time to come back." Originally, he was going to recuperate, but Shen Pomegranate was afraid that staying too long would be bad for his health.
Du Niangzi nodded at the counter: "It's time to call the child back tomorrow, the young man is not young, although there are a lot of relatives in Kyoto City, but Qingqing is already over fifteen, and it is time to find a good mother-in-law." ”
Shen Shiliu felt that Du Niangzi's mind was in the right place, so she said: "Then Niangzi will take a look, if there is a suitable one, talk about it, and find a matchmaker." ”
Du Niangzi sighed: "It's not easy to find a good one, there are a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto City, but we don't know any of them, I heard that those women will have regular gatherings, and we can't go, and the news is not well-informed." ”
Shen Shiliu pondered it, and the emperor also gave Du Niangzi an edict, and it was okay to go to the party, but they were not familiar with each other, and no one sent invitations, so they couldn't integrate into the rich circle.
"Let's look for a chance." You can't always not fit in, Madame's diplomacy is also important, and she has to catch it.
The next day, Du Niangzi asked Fushun to take Yin Qingqing back, and everyone lost weight after living in the nunnery for a few days.
"Qingqing, the place in the nunnery is too clean, and it's not good to live in old age." Du Niangzi chatted after dinner.
Shen Shimei took the fruit bowl over and ate it together, thinking that Yin Qingqing was originally a quiet character, and it was really not good to live in the nunnery for a long time.
Yin Qingqing smiled lightly: "Let my aunt worry." ”
"Or Qingqing and her mother learn to settle accounts, there are some things to do, people can also have a little spirit, and when they marry in the future, they will also be the housewife, if the account books are not good, but it is easy to be fooled!" Shen Shiliu said.
Yin Qingqing didn't have any ideas, but Du Niangzi had a lot of ideas.
Now Du Xuanmo has no relatives and no reason in Kyoto City, and those big officials all rely on the marriage of their children to want to stand more firmly in Kyoto City, but unfortunately their Du family has no one. Yin Qingqing, as Du Xuanmo's cousin, even if he is a distant relative, he can't marry casually, and if he marries, he has to marry to the right person's family, and when he becomes the hostess of the family, many things have to be asked, no matter how confused he is, he will be fooled by his subordinates!
"Your sister-in-law is right, you have to learn something from now on!" Du Niangzi wanted to play a play, and Shen Shimei reminded her that it was not too late to start learning now.
Shen Shiliu smiled, looking at Yin Qingqing like Lin Daiyu, easy to think cranky, it's good to find something to do.
Du Niangzi not only taught Yin Qingqing, but also taught Jingwen together, Jingwen will also marry into a high-ranking family in the future, and from now on, the women in the family will also be cultivated according to the ladies of the official eunuch family!
The days passed day by day, when Shen Shiliu was busy in the back kitchen, Zheng Erzhu went again, saying that the big family came to explore the bottom again a few days ago, Shen Shimei heard it and smiled: "Cheng, let's also show sincerity, and change the dishes for him!" Shen Shiliu said and changed sixteen new dishes.
Xiao Zhi looked at the dishes served by Hulala, there was no duplication from the last time, and even the fruit bowl of the ice cream had changed its flavor.
"This Mrs. Du is really ......" Xiao Zhi was speechless, and then listened to Zheng Erzhu report the name of the dish.
Zheng Erzhu finished reporting the name of the dish, and said to Xiao Zhi: "The guest officer can come again, the small shop is very honored, the shopkeeper said, not only send a plate of fruit plates, but also give the guest officer a big nine fold, the shopkeeper said, next time the guest officer comes, there will be a new dish!" ”
Xiao Zhi was completely convinced, and people could already see what he was here for, and he even remembered the dishes firmly.
"Okay, it's done!" Xiao Zhi smiled and asked Zheng Erzhu: "When will your shopkeeper be free, the Hou Mansion will have a tea party in three days, I heard that your shopkeeper is also a wife, so it is better to participate together." ”
When Zheng Erzhu heard this, he asked, "Who is this guest officer......?" ”
The family brought by Xiao Zhi hurriedly said: "This is the little marquis of our Luhou Mansion!" ”
Zheng Erzhu was surprised, and hurriedly saluted: "I really don't know Taishan, it turns out to be the little marquis, I will go and say to our shopkeeper, the little marquis can invite our shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper must be happy!" He knew that Shen Shiliu wanted to break into the circle of noblewomen in Kyoto City, so he hurriedly responded.
