Chapter 54: The Wonders of Preserved Eggs

Li Hong was a little surprised to see her movements, this was not like a novice, the cooks in their restaurant were not as skilled as this little girl, and she had never seen the way she cooked.

Li Hong crossed his arms and stood aside for a long time, waiting for her to slap herself in the face.

Ye Jinyan looked at the gurgling bubbling water, extinguished the flames, took out the retort, opened the lid on the retort, and with a "bang", the fragrance overflowed the entire stove, especially Li Hong, who was standing closest to Ye Jinyan, was even more impacted by the fragrance.

Ye Jinyan took a bowl of porridge and handed it to him, turned his head and saw that all the cooks were looking at this side, so he smiled and said, "Everyone can drink porridge if they want." ”

The cooks didn't move, because Li Hong was staring at them, and if they moved, it was estimated that they would be rolling up and leaving tomorrow.

Li Hong hummed and took a sip of porridge, saying that what he made was the most delicious, but as soon as the porridge was eaten, the preserved eggs inside instantly melted, sweet and delicious, with a slight umami, obviously not like porridge with meat, but like porridge with seafood.

Seeing that Li Hong didn't speak after drinking, everyone was looking forward to it, and they wanted to hear what Li Hong would say after drinking the porridge.

Li Hong is the strictest of them here, all the cooks have been scolded by him, and he has never praised anyone.

Ye Jinyan's heart trembled a little, after all, she had Ye Jinyu's previous convictions, no matter how confident she was, she had to leave a way back for herself, if this method didn't work, then she had to think of a new way.

Li Hong frowned, and took another sip of porridge until he drank it all.

The cooks in the stove room had their eyes wide open.

Li Hong stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, took out a tael of silver from his arms and returned it to Ye Jinyan, and praised: "You are right, the porridge you make is very good, but it tastes ......."

Ye Jinyan looked at him, waiting for his next sentence.

"I've never eaten such a delicious porridge, although the taste is peculiar, but it is very delicious." After saying that, he smashed his mouth again.

The cooks in the stove almost drooled when they heard this comment, and they also wanted to taste what the porridge that their boss praised was like.

Li Hong's eyes swept over the cooks, and said lightly, "Now you can drink." ”

The cooks let out a shout of joy, picked up the bowls, and went over, and the porridge in the retort was finished by them in two or three strokes.

They stretched out their hands to wipe their mouths and praised loudly: "This is the first time I have drunk such delicious porridge, what is added to it?" ”

Of course Li Hong knew what was added to it, he thought the egg was bad at first, but when he ate it, there was no taste in his mouth, it seemed that the egg should be like this.

"Who taught you to do this?" Li Hong suddenly asked.

Ye Jinyan's eyes rolled around, and he replied respectfully: "This is a secret recipe handed down from my family, which has a history of hundreds of years. ”

Li Hong looked at Ye Jinyan in surprise, he couldn't see that this little girl had such a secret recipe in her hand, if she used that preserved egg to study a new dish, she would definitely be able to catch fire.

The cook in the stove room drank all the porridge, and his eyes returned to Ye Jinyan's body.

Li Hong didn't like to be disturbed by so many people, so he beckoned to Ye Jinyan and motioned for her to go out with him.

Ye Jinyan knew that Li Hong was very interested in her secret recipe, so she walked out with him.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived outside, Li Hong stopped, turned his head to ask her for the secret recipe, and threatened that he could give twenty taels of silver.

Twenty taels of silver is a lot of money, but Ye Jinyan didn't promise him, but just told him very seriously that the secret recipe of the family is not passed on to the outside world, which is a rule left by the ancestors.

Hearing Ye Jinyan say this, Li Hong also accepted the previous idea in disdain, and asked instead: "Then what if I buy your preserved eggs?" How to calculate the price. ”

Ye Jinyan smiled slightly and replied, "Ten cents." ”

"Ten cents?!" Li Hong's stunned expression could swallow an egg.

Ye Jinyan knew that it might be a little difficult to get him to pay ten yuan to buy a preserved egg, but as long as she added more fire, it might be very simple.

"Our family recipe is not owned by anyone, and it takes months to make such a small egg." Ye Jinyan is serious.

Scarcity is precious, and this chef should know this.

Li Hong looked at Ye Jinyan, pondered for a while, and nodded, "Okay, I'll buy ten from you first." ”

Ye Jinyan saw that he was so cheerful, and happily agreed.

After Li Hong got the preserved eggs, he walked back to the stove room excitedly, Ye Jinyan looked at the remaining preserved eggs, and fell into deep thought, if a preserved egg is only sold for ten yuan, it will have to be sold until the Year of the Monkey.

There are still a lot of people eating in the restaurant at night, Ye Jinyan couldn't help but go to the first floor to order a plate of side dishes, and as soon as he moved his chopsticks, he saw a few people walking in.

They are all five big and three thick, and there is a sign pinned to their waists, which seems to be engraved with the word "Jia", and the only people who can be famous in the town and can still carry the sign are the servants of Jia Yuanwai's family and those who participated in Jia Yuanwai's 70th birthday.

They bypassed Ye Jinyan and walked straight into the back kitchen, the back kitchen was not allowed to let others in, Ye Jinyan went in before because he was small and sneaked in.

And these people are so open-minded, which makes her really feel a little bit behind.

Ye Jinyan raised his eyes and saw the shopkeeper hiding behind the cabinet looking at them worriedly.

She didn't know them, but it seemed that the whole restaurant knew them except her.

"How did they get here? They should be at Jia Yuanwai's house now. ”

Ye Jinyan planned to ignore them and continue to eat, but he heard the people sitting at the back table of him talking.

"Hehe, you don't know this, Jia Yuanwai invited a lot of cooks to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but he didn't expect that there were too many cooks and their stoves were about to burst, so he planned to kick a few away and leave a chef."

"So what are they going to do? This restaurant has nothing to do with Jia Yuanwai. ”

"The restaurant has nothing to do with Jia Yuanwai, but the chef of this restaurant is a chef that Jia Yuanwai has always been optimistic about, and they probably want to teach that chef a hard lesson."

Ye Jinyan turned his head and saw two middle-aged men, drinking wine and watching a good show.

Li Hong is a celebrity in the town, if he makes the reputation of preserved eggs, Ye Jinyan can eat and drink without worry, but if he can't do it, he will really live up to Ye Jinyan's expectations.

No, you can't let Li Hong, who was harmed by those people, lose his reputation.

Ye Jinyan put the chopsticks on the table and turned his head to follow them to see what they were going to do, but before he could reach the intersection, he was stopped by two nursing homes.

There are a lot of people making trouble in the restaurant, so there are a lot more nursing homes.

Ye Jinyan looked at them dissatisfied, raised his head and asked, "Those three people can go in just now, why can't I?" ”

The two nurses glanced at each other weakly, and replied, "They are cooks, and they have something to do with our chef." ”

"I'm looking for your chef too." Ye Jinyan said seriously.

But her answer was just a joke in the eyes of the nursing home, and one of the nursing homes stretched out her foot and kicked Ye Jinyan to the side, "Go, go, don't get in the way!" ”

Ye Jinyan glanced at them, turned around and left.
