CHAPTER XXVII
Zhao Jin estimated that she was about to come back from school by touching the pillar, so she was going to make dinner, she planned to make mushroom stir-fried meat, cut the pork into thin slices, and soak the pine milk mushrooms in water first, wash them, and then cut them in half with a knife. Zhao Jin poured a little oil into the pot, and poured the pork into the pot after the oil smoked, she kept stir-frying, and soon the pork slices in the pot were fried to golden brown and burnt up, and the air was filled with a strong smell of meat. While the pot was hot, Zhao Jin drained the mushrooms and poured them into the pot and stir-fried them with the pork. After a while, the unique aroma of mushrooms was mixed with the aroma of meat, and it was so greedy that I had to leave my saliva behind. Finally, add the other seasonings and remove from the pan.
"Sister, I'm back!" As soon as Zhu Zi entered the house, his shout was heard, and when he came to the kitchen, he took over Liu's fire. The pillar was burning the fire while looking at the dishes in the pot, after a day of class, it was actually easier to get hungry when he used his brain, Zhao Jin felt funny when he looked at his greedy cat appearance, and still couldn't help but say to him: "Zhuzi, you can eat it immediately, look at you like that, I think our family hasn't let you eat for a few days." Zhuzi replied with a smile: "It's all because my sister's fried dishes are too fragrant, and my gluttony has come out." "For dinner, three dishes for three people are enough, Zhao Jin quickly fried a green vegetable and cooked a soup and served it on the table.
The three of them talked and laughed at the table, and the pillar kept talking about the embarrassment of his classmates, which made everyone smile, and the clouds at the dinner table some time ago were swept away.
Early the next morning, Zhao Jin went out with the pillar again, and Zhao Jin planned to go to the town to communicate her plan with the shopkeeper and sell the mushrooms picked yesterday by the way.
Although the flow of customers has increased recently, the eight immortals restaurant is worshipping new dishes, but it has returned to stability, and the shopkeeper realizes that only by constantly developing new dishes can we attract a steady stream of guests, but innovation is a thing to say, a magical chef is to give full play to the ingredients, and the highest level of cooking is that even the most ordinary ingredients can make delicious food in the world. Chef Jia is a qualified cook, but he is too conformist and step-by-step to become a chef.
The shopkeeper is imagining the future of the restaurant, he has been in charge for so many years, and he hopes that the restaurant can go out, have its own chain stores in the country, and leave a milestone history in Daxia. When Zhao Jin came in, he saw the shopkeeper holding a pen that was neither like writing nor like settling accounts, strictly speaking, in a daze, interesting. Zhao Jin walked in, waved a hand in front of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper finally came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Jin with a look of surprise. Zhao Jin was furious when he was watched, and he was courteous and attentive, either a traitor or a thief.
"Siya, is the plan you said last time already ready?" The shopkeeper looked at her with a smile on his face, expecting her to be the savior. Zhao Jin planned to sell it, and then motioned to the shopkeeper to speak closer, as if there was something good to show him, the shopkeeper cooperated with her mysterious two people as if they had discovered a peerless treasure, he deliberately looked around to see if anyone lowered his voice and approached Zhao Jin's ears: "What good things?" Zhao Jin was amused by the shopkeeper's strange appearance, she opened the sack she carried, took out a mushroom from it, and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took it in his hand and looked at it, then put it under his nose and smelled it, this mushroom has never been eaten before, can it be eaten? He asked Zhao Jin with his eyes, if the guest had an accident after eating, but he couldn't eat and walk around, he didn't dare to take this risk. Zhao Jin saw his confusion and explained to him: "Shopkeeper, this is a kind of mushroom whose scientific name is pine lactobacillus, this mushroom grows in dark and damp, more deciduous forests, this mushroom is non-toxic and has high nutritional value, and the taste is better than ordinary mushrooms, our family has already eaten it, if you can't believe me, I'll fry one for you now, I'll try it for you first." ”
The shopkeeper naturally trusted Zhao Jin, and with her amazing cooking skills, any ingredient can be turned into magic, and asked, "How are you going to sell the four girls?" I think we have been cooperating and friendly and give you an affordable price. "Shopkeeper, you know that this kind of mushroom is very rare, so the price may be a little expensive, if you agree, I will sell it to you today, and I will help you sell it all, and I guarantee that I will not lose money." The shopkeeper was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and begged: "Siya, don't sell Guanzi, you just say it, how much is a catty?" Zhao Jin replied slowly: "One catty and one tael of silver." "The shopkeeper has been open for so many years, and the restaurant is the first time that she has been jumped by her overlord-style offer, which is a kind of mushroom in the final analysis, no matter how noble it is, it can't be compared with fish and meat, this price is indeed a bit high.
Zhao Jin saw that the shopkeeper looked hesitant, immediately increased his chips, and continued to lobby: "Shopkeeper, as long as you agree, I will immediately help you sell this dish to ten taels today." The shopkeeper's heart was frightened, are young people so playful? Is it because I'm too old to keep up with the tide of thought? "Siya, you're not joking with me, this is a bit whimsical, and the guests are not stupid, a dish is a year's expense for a family in the countryside."
Zhao Jin looked at the shopkeeper's face to see if she was crazy, and analyzed with him very calmly, "Shopkeeper, you also know that scarcity is expensive, no one has tried it, there will always be the first person to eat crabs, this is the habitual desire to conquer in human nature." Mystery will attract people, and selling a dish for ten taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for rich people. Rich people buy novelty, they are never short of money, what they lack is freshness. ”
The shopkeeper finally believed that Zhao Jin didn't open his mouth, and the evidence was all well thought out, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh that he was still old, and his brain was not as active as a young man. "Siya, I believe you, I bought all these mushrooms of yours, but I have one condition that you said that you will be the chef today." Zhao Jin said: "No problem. So the shopkeeper told the man to weigh the mushroom, and the man weighed it, and it was seven pounds in total. The shopkeeper settled seven taels of silver to Zhao Jin on the spot, and she was also very happy to bring the mushrooms to the back kitchen for processing.
Master Jia has been busy in the back kitchen all morning, all the ingredients have been processed into the pot, and the shopkeeper explained to Master Jia that Zhao Jin was in charge at noon, and he started. Of course, Chef Jia has no opinion, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, she is a young girl who can reach this level of cooking skills, there must be something worth learning by herself, he can take this opportunity to observe.
The restaurant's current service style has been modified in accordance with Zhao Jin's suggestion last time, Xiao Er's only need to show the brochure to the guests to introduce the characteristics of each dish on the side, of course, the guests can order independently, to avoid all kinds of embarrassment, the bulletin board outside the restaurant updates the menu of the day every day, and you can see that you can enter the restaurant to eat if you are interested, and you are not afraid that you don't have enough money on your own money.
Zhao Jin took a look at the prepared ingredients, thought about it for a while, set the menu for noon, and told a guy in the running hall to ask him to write it on the bulletin board. After a while, the bulletin board read: Fish Head Pot, Shiitake Chicken Pot, Red Braised Lion Head, Hibiscus Fish, Fried Dumplings, etc. The surrounding people came forward in an endless stream to see what was happening, and the front of the restaurant was full of people, which was only the first step in the name of the Eight Immortals Restaurant. The crowd of onlookers began to accuse the Eight Immortals Restaurant of being a black shop, and ten taels of silver for a dish was simply sky-high. The shopkeeper saw this reaction, and felt a little panicked, but he was still calm, as Zhao Jin said, there will always be people who know the goods or people who are provocative and unconvinced, and they are not afraid of controversy, but they are afraid of ignoring it.
"Hey, Xiao Er, is the food in your Eight Immortals Restaurant so delicious? can be worth ten taels of silver, it won't be a gimmick to rip off customers, don't be so short-sighted and make yourself unable to live for short-term interests. A fat man with a fat head and big ears said fiercely, he was wearing silk and showed that his family was well-off, so he said that he thought the food in a small town could be delicious.
Xiao Er looked at the boy generously, not falling behind at all, although he was dressed rich and expensive, and he didn't want him to do anything, "This son, this dish is written with ten taels of silver, naturally there is a reason to value this price, since the son does not believe that the Eight Immortals Restaurant can make ten taels of dishes, then you might as well order a few dishes inside the son to taste, if you can't satisfy the child, then the dishes of the Eight Immortals Restaurant are not worth ten taels, then we don't take a penny, of course, if the son is satisfied, I see that the silk and satin worn by the son is not the master of eating the overlord's meal." How is it? After Zhao Jin finished speaking, the boy kept playing with the folding fan in his hand, and his tone was still arrogant, "This is what you said, if I am not satisfied with this son today, then your restaurant should not be mixed in the town." It just so happens that the chef at home is also tired of eating, so I'm here today to change my taste, boy, don't let me down. After speaking, the boy took the folding fan in his hand, swaggered in, and someone inside immediately led him to the private room, one and two, and many people who were watching the excitement outside walked into the restaurant one after another.
The Eight Immortals Restaurant began its liveliness again, at this time, not far away, an acquaintance came with a son, a pair of eyes with curiosity, a pair of eyes with life where not to meet interesting, and the ghost of the county magistrate. "Brother Wen Qing, you see, that restaurant is a bit interesting, why don't we go in and have a good time." Shao Wenqing didn't say anything, his body walked in very honestly, the boy who was traveling with him shook his head, continued to shake the folding fan in his hand, and after a short stay on the side, he followed his footsteps and followed. "Brother Wen Qing, I'm new to the first place, it's better for Brother Wen Qing to invite me." Shao Wenqing finally reacted after hearing this, "Brother Ziwen, are you swept out of the house and can't even afford to eat, if that's the case, today I will be the east, you will eat with your belly open, who knows if there is a meal." Liao Ziwen looked helpless, isn't it just a joke, his mouth is really poisonous, he deserves to be old and hasn't started a family yet, who can suffer like him, he won't suffer at all.
