Chapter 59: The Auction
No matter how delicious the dish is, no matter how precious the dish is, there is no freshness, right?
Those dignitaries may not be willing to pay a high price for the auction.
Yao Muwan couldn't help frowning when she thought of this, the recipe had to be changed.
The chef was getting more and more frightened, and it seemed that he had really made the wrong dish.
"Girl, I'm ...... How to make that dish just now, please give the girl ...... "teach."
However, before the chef finished speaking, he suddenly saw Yao Muwan leaving, leaving, leaving......
The chef looked confused, so, what did Miss Yao tell him to wait for just now?
At this moment, Yao Muwan, who had already gone far, turned back again.
"Wait a minute before we start, I'll write a few new dishes, and I'll be fine right away."
After speaking, Yao Muwan left again.
And the chef was already shocked, how long did it take for a new dish to be written so casually?
Miss Yao is really different!
At this time, the invited guests have almost arrived, and they are all waiting patiently in the seats that have been arranged in advance.
"You say, this treasure house is such a big show, what kind of good things do you want to sell?"
"Isn't that what purple sweet potato is? I made a reservation a month ago, and I haven't eaten it yet! ”
"You've only been a month, and I've been three months!"
"Let's be lucky today, I heard that Zhen Yulou happens to have a new dish today!"
Suddenly, the guests were looking forward to it even more.
Worried that the guests would be in a hurry, Yao Muwan instructed the kitchen to make some snacks and pastries first, and put good tea on the table to cushion their stomachs.
In the center of the original lobby, the auction booth has already been prepared.
Because the auction has not yet started, the booth serves as a stage.
The gentlemen who were invited to Xianji Lou with a lot of money performed their talents, so that the guests could pass the time.
An endless stream of hors d'oeuvres, fine tea and wine, and pleasing singing and dancing performances all make the guests feel like they are worth the trip.
Therefore, I am full of curiosity about the highlight of this auction.
At this time, Yao Muwan had already written five new recipes for purple potatoes, and went to the back kitchen with the recipes.
The back kitchen didn't dare to move without her orders.
The shopkeeper came to inspect, and thought that something was wrong, and suddenly there was a feeling of burning his eyebrows, and he was just about to make a big fuss, when he saw Yao Muwan coming.
"Miss Yao, this ...... Why hasn't the kitchen started yet? When is this all going on?! ”
"The shopkeeper is a little restless."
Seeing that the shopkeeper's face was a little bad, Yao Muwan didn't panic, just smiled faintly and handed him the new recipe she had just written.
"I've got a new recipe here, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to take a look at it."
The shopkeeper was shocked, new recipes?
Hurriedly took it from Yao Muwan's hand, and was immediately surprised and delighted.
"With this new recipe, this auction will definitely be even more successful!"
In fact, the problem that Yao Muwan thought of, the shopkeeper naturally thought of it, but unfortunately he has never had a good way to solve it.
Unexpectedly, he just wanted to ask Yao Muwan to solve the problem that the sales of purple potatoes couldn't keep up, and now even this has been solved!
The shopkeeper felt more and more that his previous decision to ask Yao Muwan to help was extremely correct.
"Miss Yao, thank you so much!"
"The shopkeeper's politeness, without further ado, I'll show you first."
Yao Muwan was not pretentious, as soon as her sleeves were pulled, she went to the stove and started cooking.
This is her old job, and she is full of a sense of familiarity like an old friend to the stove, and she is no stranger to it at all.
Seeing Yao Muwan cooking in person, the chefs who had already seen her skills didn't dare to disturb a word, and watched carefully without taking their eyes off it.
After making five new dishes in a row, Yao Muwan washed her hands.
Then he wiped the thin sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "Let's try it." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone flocked to the top and couldn't wait to start tasting.
"Soft and glutinous, sweet, with an endless aftertaste, delicious!"
This is purple sweet potato glutinous rice dumplings.
"Mellow and fragrant, I want to bite off my tongue after eating it in one bite!"
This is purple sweet potato.
"It's sweet with a faint yam flavor, which makes people want to eat it after taking a bite!"
This is purple sweet potato yam cake.
"White and tender and fragrant and soft, like rice balls but not rice balls!"
This is purple sweet potato glutinous rice balls.
At this time, the shopkeeper picked up a bowl of soup, in which there were yellow, purple, and white mini balls mixed together, which looked so tight.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but take a sip curiously, and then his eyes lit up immediately.
"May I ask Miss Yao, what kind of dish is this?"
Yao Muwan smiled: "Three-color taro rounds." ”
These dishes are actually desserts.
In her time, it was just some of the simplest things.
But here, it's hard to find.
"These new dishes, let's finale, don't make too many at a time, and limit them."
"Limited?" The shopkeeper was a little confused, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's just ......" Yao Muwan didn't know how to explain, and thought for a while: "Let's not do too much at once, otherwise everyone has eaten, how can we auction it?" ”
The shopkeeper immediately realized, after all, he was also a businessman, and immediately gave Yao Muwan a knowing look.
"I understand, Miss Yao really thinks more far-reaching than the old man, and the old man is ashamed of herself!"
Yao Muwan suddenly became a little embarrassed when she heard this, of course this was not her idea, she just borrowed from the hunger marketing of her time.
Moreover, people in this era pay more attention to face and taste than modern people.
The rarer and more expensive this kind of thing, the more they tend to it.
With the new recipes, the kitchen immediately starts to get busy.
After Yao Muwan discussed with the shopkeeper, it was decided that the number of all dishes should be locked at twenty.
There were at least a few hundred guests here today, and Yao Muwan felt that the number was about the same.
After thinking about it, she went to find a good piece of beef brisket, and then made a purple potato stew of beef brisket herself.
After simmering the beef brisket on a simmer, Yao Muwan instructed the others to take care of it and walked out.
At this time, the song and dance performance had ended, and the time was almost up, and Yao Muwan appeared on the auction stand.
At this time, Wu Xiao, who was sitting in the private room and was bored, suddenly sat up and looked at the booth.
Bai Gongzi took a sip of tea lightly and said strangely: "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Xiao pointed to the auction booth, his voice full of surprise.
"Look, isn't it the little lady of that day!"
Bai Gongzi suddenly couldn't sit still, and immediately got up to look.
"Yes, that's her!"
Several other people in the private room also gathered in front of the railing, and their eyes lit up when they saw Yao Muwan.
Because the eyes of the audience were all attracted, Yao Muwan didn't find that she was being paid special attention to.
In modern times, Yao Muwan often cooks live performances for guests, although there are more guests today, she is not nervous at all.
