CHAPTER XXIII
Before dawn, Zhao Jin and Zhuzi got up, and Liu also prepared breakfast for them early, Zhao Jin was going to the town to teach the cooks and Zhuzi went to study. It was still early, and the two did not meet the car that went to the town, but fortunately, they arrived before dawn, Zhao Jin sent the pillar to Mr. Wang first, and then went to the Eight Immortals Restaurant. The shopkeeper looked at her with a courteous face, and asked with a smile, "Miss Zhao, have you had breakfast?" If you don't have one, eat at a small shop. Zhao Jin said: "The shopkeeper is too polite, just call me Siya in the future." I've eaten at home, so let's go straight to the kitchen! The two walked to the back kitchen, and Zhao Jin asked as they walked, "Shopkeeper, what ingredients have you prepared?" "Alas, that's a lot, this chicken, duck and fish, melons and fruits are unfamiliar, firewood, rice, oil and salt, sauce, vinegar, tea noodles, and by the way, chili peppers are all available!" The shopkeeper's hey hey straight music. Zhao Jin smiled, and in a blink of an eye, he also saw the cook say hello, and then looked at the ingredients and found that they were all excellent and fresh. She picked up a fish, the knife was flat, and the head of the fish was chopped off with a click, put it aside, and then put the knife flat, and divided the fish into two halves from the middle, only the tail was connected, and then the fish bones were removed along the fish bones, and after the two sides were picked out, it was still a complete skeleton, and the cook couldn't help but sigh on the side that the knife was deep, and he was picking at the small thorns, and put the fish bones aside to prepare a fish soup.
The first dish she made was squirrel fish, which she could choose when she made grass carp, she picked up the knife again, turned it in her hand a few times, and then cut the fish into slices obliquely, cut one side and then cut the other, and then evenly coated the cut fish with starch.
The guy who helped to light the fire next to her had already burned the pot to seven ripe, she probed the oil temperature with her hands, and then the fish meat was introverted, the skin of the fish turned outward, lifted the tail of the fish, and carefully fried the fish in the oil pan until it was golden brown, then took it out and fried it again until the skin was crispy, and picked it up before it was about to be fried.
Pour a little oil into the pot again, put some garlic in the pot when the oil is not hot, then add tomatoes, constantly stir-fry with a spatula to make juice until the fragrance overflows, and then add a handful of corn kernels and green beans, the taste of this dish is sweet and sour, adding these looks much better, and it is easier to stimulate appetite. When she still needed to heat it, she quickly took a small bowl and poured salt, sugar, and vinegar, adjusted it in a certain proportion, and then added some starch to it.
After the pot continued to bubble, she poured the bowl of sauce into it, and finally, added some water to it until the water was fried, then added a spoonful of hot oil, got out of the pot, poured the bubbling juice on the fish, and heard the sound of pricking and stinging, and the whole fish was poured out of a beautiful faint orange color, and the sweet and sour smell in the air was full of taste buds. She brought the plate in her hand to the shopkeeper, who was almost in tears, bright in color, tender and crispy, sweet and sour. She went back to the kitchen and made a few other dishes, and the cook, who had been more or less contemptuous, was now completely convinced by her.
After these dishes were served out one after another, in the end all she saw were some empty plates, Zhao Jin saw that the shopkeeper was satisfied with eating and smiled as if she saw a bowl full of silver, she smiled and leaned over and said, "The shopkeeper, it tastes good, right?" "Good!" The shopkeeper's eyes were about to laugh, and only the folds were left on his face, and he kept sighing, "Girl, what a genius, how can you make such a delicious thing." Zhao Jin smiled with satisfaction, turned to the cook and asked him if he remembered, the cook stood up and bowed cautiously: "Thank you for the girl's teaching." "In ancient times, the craft was a guy who ate, and it was generally not passed on, and although it cost money, it was not reserved to teach it to be respectable.
After Zhao Jin explained some of the key points, he then inquired with the shopkeeper about the market for renting and buying houses in the town, and now this situation will have to move to the town sooner or later, so it is better to plan early. Zhao Jin is now a cash cow in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and moving to the town is also convenient for herself, in case there is still a chance to persuade her to work in the restaurant, so he is very active in introducing her and saying that it is on him.
