Chapter 13 Micro Vinegar
Spicy strips have always been very popular among young people, and An Juan also loves to eat them.
But now in ancient times, she wanted to eat but no one did, so she had to support herself.
Thinking of this, she probably recalled the raw materials and steps needed to make spicy noodles, and planned to try to make them after she was busy tomorrow.
In fact, An Juan is ready to move now, but now that it is getting late, it seems that the night market is also closing, so she simply moved the time to tomorrow and went to sleep today with the expectation and desire for spicy noodles.
The next day, An Juan still got up early, first went to the backyard to take out the vegetables in the space and put them on the cart, and then opened the back door slightly, making it look like someone had just left.
Many people have seen the high quality of the ingredients used in Yuanjukaku, and feel that if they can use such ingredients themselves, their restaurant will definitely be able to go to the next level.
So every day, there are people squatting at the entrance of the alley, but they can't see anyone coming, so they find various reasons for An Juan, from "she has already stored vegetables in the house" to "she specially dug a tunnel and let the vegetable farmer who delivered the vegetables come along the tunnel and give her fresh vegetables".
An Xuan is now more and more worried that someone will find her space, so she hides every time she takes out the vegetables, and even often puts the vegetables on the cart in the middle of the afternoon or in the middle of the night.
After finishing the vegetables, An Juan went to the morning market and ordered a bowl of noodles, and specially added a big spoonful of chili peppers to it.
Her original intention was to use this spicy taste to comfort her heart that longed for spicy strips, but the chili oil was too spicy, which made her cry when she ate it, and the owner of the noodle stall begged for several bowls of water halfway.
After eating a bowl of overly spicy noodles with difficulty, An Juan returned to the restaurant, and before she opened the door, she found a row of people standing at the door.
After a period of business, the regular customers of the store have already known the time of opening every day, so they no longer wait in advance.
So it's been a long time since Anwan has seen anyone waiting in front of the store to open.
She glanced at the people several times, and finally, driven by curiosity, walked over and asked, "Excuse me, what are you waiting for?" ”
The leader was a polite man, and after he looked An Juan up and down twice, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which had been expressionless: "You are Miss An." ”
Hearing the words "Miss An", An Juan already had an estimate in her heart: "You were sent by Prince Ye?" ”
"Yes," Unexpectedly, An Juan guessed his identity when he opened his mouth, and the smile on the corner of the man's mouth unconsciously deepened: "The prince instructed me to help Miss An choose a few chefs, and I will bring them over now." ”
When the butler said this, An Juan also looked behind him.
There were about ten people standing neatly behind him, half male and half female, the woman's appearance was dignified, and the man's appearance was generous, and it looked like a very reassuring look.
Seeing An Juan looking at them, they all smiled at An Juan in return.
"Then please come in," An Juan looked at the group, then turned to open the door, and beckoned them warmly to enter, "You shouldn't have breakfast yet, right?" I'll cook you a few dishes first. ”
After that, she didn't wait for the housekeeper to react, so she went to the kitchen to light the fire, set up a big pot, and wanted to fry a few dishes for them.
The other chefs saw that they were obviously here to apply, but they wanted to eat the dishes made by the boss, and they were a little reluctant to go, and they all planned to get up to take the spatula, but they were stopped by the housekeeper next to them.
The housekeeper looked young, but he actually grew up watching Luo Yelin since he was a child.
He felt that Luo Yelin looked at An Juan differently, so he brought someone over early, wanting to observe An Juan's personality and behavior, and by the way, find out the reason why the prince was reluctant to give up on her family's dishes.
An Juan's movements in his hands were very quick, and he quickly served eight dishes to the table, including meat, vegetarian and soup, although it was made in a hurry, it was not shabby.
The housekeeper glanced at An Juan and politely invited her to sit down and have breakfast together, but was refused: "I have already eaten, no need." ”
After saying this, An Juan didn't stay here much, and quickly went to talk to Song Qin for a few words, and then began to clean up in the back kitchen.
Before eating this meal, the housekeeper first took a rough look at the appearance and scored a score of seven in his heart.
Then he picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, and his eyes lit up slightly.
The craftsmanship is actually not bad.
His expression was very restrained, but a man beside him had already let out an exaggerated exclamation: "It's delicious!" ”
How can you show such an expression, look like a hillbilly who has never seen the world.
Thinking so, the butler glanced at the cook with disgust, but he also put a dish with chopsticks in his hand and put it in his mouth.
So his eyes also changed greatly, and from a distance, it seemed as if there were thousands of words blocked in his mouth, but for some reason he couldn't say a word.
After holding it for a long time, the housekeeper was finally able to express his unsettled heart with a calm sentence: "Well, it's delicious." ”
During the time they were eating, two more tables of customers came to the store one after another, and An Juan was busy again, and her petite figure was moving around in the kitchen cubicle.
By the time An Juan and Song Qin brought the finished dishes to the guests' tables, the housekeeper and the group of cooks had almost finished eating.
With time on both sides, the test of the chefs can begin in earnest.
Anwan called them in one by one, and then ordered a random dish from the menu and asked each of them to cook it again, while she watched from the sidelines, observing their movements and proficiency.
Since this group of people can be brought by the housekeeper, their cooking skills will naturally not be particularly bad, and after An Juan and others finished the same dish, they also re-arranged a table of the same dish, and directly greeted the diners, asking them to come over and taste it, and discuss which one is better.
Most of these diners are regular customers of Anwan, so they have a stronger tolerance for growing vegetables in the space than ordinary people, and they are more able to try to abandon the advantages of raw materials in Anwan's reminders and requirements, carefully experience the details of the production techniques, and point out the dish they think is the best.
When everyone was almost done voting, Anwan asked the chefs to taste all the dishes and choose the best one.
The end result was not controversial, a male chef won the top spot, and when he knew that everyone thought his food was delicious, he looked left and right at the audience with some embarrassment, raised his hand and scratched his head.
Everyone decided the final winner for An Juan, and An Juan was as good as a stream, and ordered this chef to be the chef in her store.
When they were eating before, the chefs all ate the dishes made by An Juan, and they understood that her skills were not much better than those of the imperial chef.
When they were selected by the housekeeper before, most of them had the idea of "settling a good prince", but after tasting the dishes made by An Juan and understanding the cooking skills of this beautiful woman, they all sincerely wanted to enter this shop and learn some skills from An Juan, so that they could make their dishes to the next level.
After taking this excited chef to sign the deed, he officially became the chef of Yuanju Pavilion.
An Juan first pointed out the location of the kitchen supplies, and then asked him to try to cook a few tables of dishes first, and she went to the back yard to clean up the room for him.
This male chef's name is Nie Ying, but although his name is very atmospheric, he doesn't have much to do with the word Ying, and he looks very shy and shy.
As an excellent chef, Nie Ying knows the preparation methods of all the dishes on the menu except for An Juan's specialties, but he is still very nervous, and every time he cooks a dish, he has to look for traces of An Juan, and he seems to be very unconfident in himself.
Most of the people who came to eat in the afternoon were idle gentlemen, and when they saw that this small restaurant had changed chefs, they inquired one after another, and after getting the answer, they all had a good impression of him.
They each ordered a few dishes, and when the dishes were served, they affirmed them one after another, occasionally putting forward one or two opinions and opinions, and Nie Ying also listened carefully, wiping the sweat beads from his forehead with a towel hanging around his neck, and nodding vigorously to express his agreement with the diners.
When An Juan came back, he found that Nie Ying had a good chat with this group of gentlemen who were a little venomous.
As soon as she saw An Juan appear, Nie Ying hurriedly greeted her and asked if there was anything he needed to do.
The kitchen was not very hot, but Nie Ying's forehead was full of beads of sweat, and An Juan reached out and touched her forehead suspiciously, and found that it was only faintly wet.
She's been running back and forth in the yard several times.
An Juan persuaded Nie Ying a few words, asking him to cook well, without talking much, and then walked out of the kitchen to greet the group.
After another table of customers left the restaurant, An Juan asked the time, suddenly thought of something, hurried to the kitchen, and asked Nie Ying to rest outside for a while, and she would cook a few dishes.
Nie Ying really wanted to see An Juan's cooking process, so she only hid to the side, hiding her not small body clumsily, but her head was all outside, and she couldn't wait to fall directly on the pot, so she could see An Juan's every move clearly, and analyze every detail when cooking.
When Luo Yelin pushed open the door and walked into the restaurant, he saw An Juan and another man next to each other, stir-frying intimately.
The joy on his face vanished immediately.
Luo Yelin had thousands of guesses surging in his heart, and at the same time took a deep breath and walked in the direction of the kitchen with heavy steps.
The sound of footsteps attracted An Juan, who was not concentrating on cooking, she looked over here, and after seeing Luo Yelin, she showed a smile and greeted her cordially: "Lord Wang!" ”
Nie Ying was half a beat slow to react, and quickly withdrew her eyes from the side of the pot and An Juan's hand, and saluted Luo Yelin with An Juan with some reluctance.
Luo Yelin waved his hand casually, asked Nie Ying to step aside, and then asked with an unhappy face, "What were you guys doing just now?" ”
The dissatisfaction on the prince's face was very clear, and even Nie Ying, who had some big nerves, noticed it, so he turned his head to look at An Juan uneasily, trying to find comfort on her face.
