Chapter 12 Spicy strips
Luo Yelin's words seemed casual, but they really poked An Xuan's heart, making her frown, and her face was not as bright as when she first saw Luo Yelin.
She hesitated for a while, but nodded, and then spit out the doubts in her heart: "The question that the prince said is actually what worries me the most......" She sighed, glanced sideways in the direction of the kitchen, and made sure that the new chef couldn't hear what she said, before lowering her voice and spitting out the words: "After all, they all know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts, even if they seem honest and honest, how do they know what he plans to do in his heart?" ”
"Yes." Luo Yelin responded, and watched An Juan pour out the thoughts in his heart to him little by little: "Don't hide it from the prince, after I posted this notice, in just one morning, seven or eight people came one after another, including men and women, old and young, I can't figure out their details, so I can only ask their family history first, and then let them cook dishes to see their skills, and then investigate carefully when they think it is good, and see if this person is a sincere person." ”
When the word "investigation" was spoken, An Juan held his head in his hands, looking very entangled, Luo Yelin almost didn't have to think, and knew that An Juan did not have a big power network, and it was difficult to distinguish a person's true identity.
So he coughed twice, and after attracting the attention of the other party, he looked solemn and wanted to explain his plan and discuss: "Miss An, I don't know if you trust me?" ”
He started with this sentence, which really caused An Juan to raise his head and quickly replied: "Of course I believe it." ”
"Then ......" Luo Yelin hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to support An Juan's shoulder, then stared at the other party's eyes, and asked her, "Miss An, can you ask this king to find you a chef?" ”
Ye Wang help find a chef?
An Juan never thought that Luo Yelin would be able to help in this kind of thing.
In her opinion, she and Luo Yelin have gradually become familiar with each other during this period of contact, and they can occasionally make jokes, and Luo Yelin will also say when she brings someone over for dinner, "The cook here is a friend of this king."
But the relationship between the two of them is still that of a restaurant and a diner, and there is still not much difference in essence.
So An Juan just wanted to complain to Luo Yelin, but he didn't expect him to offer to find her a chef.
"This ...... Not quite right? She replied hesitantly.
Her words were regarded by Luo Yelin as a distrust of him, so he quickly explained: "No, what this king means is ......" He summed up his words again and said again: "This king means to find you a few reliable chefs, you choose according to the situation, if you don't believe them, just let them do chores, and you still do the important meals, how about this?" ”
For this proposal, An Wan is, of course, a hundred in favor.
Seeing that Luo Yelin sincerely wanted to help her, An Juan no longer shirked, thanked the prince with a smile, turned around to look at the chef who was busy in the kitchen, and after he finished cooking, he tried a few bites, and then asked him to wait for the result with an expressionless face.
"If I find you in three days, you can be ready to come to work."
The man looked at An Juan's face worriedly, and after saying a few more flattering words, he walked out of the Yuanju Pavilion, and his figure quickly disappeared from the eyes of An Juan and Luo Yelin.
After An Juan finished dealing with the last chef, Luo Yelin had already torn off the notice posted on the wall, and came over to show it to An Juan with a smile: "Since Miss An plans to ask this king to help you find people, don't recruit people for the time being." ”
Seeing An Juan nodded, Luo Yelin paused and continued: "Wait for this king to go back and talk to the housekeeper, probably tomorrow morning I can bring some people over for Miss An to see, if you have a fancy to stay, if you don't like it, just tell the housekeeper directly, he will look for you again." ”
Luo Yelin was so thoughtful that An Juan didn't know what else to say, so he could only nod with a complicated expression and said, "Okay." ”
Luo Yelin caught a glimpse of An Juan's expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Miss An, does you think that this king is willing to help you?" He squinted his eyes and smiled again: "This king is not a kind person, and helping you find a cook is just to make the next request logically." ”
"Request?" An Juan didn't expect Luo Yelin to have this plan, and asked curiously: "What request?" ”
Faced with An Juan's question, Luo Yelin calmed down.
He first looked left and right at the nearby crowd, and then Shi Shiran sat on the chair and slowly said the plan in his heart: "Miss An's restaurant has been open for a while, and the business is also very prosperous, see now that you have plans to recruit people, do you want to expand the store?" ”
In fact, the reason why An Juan wanted to recruit people was to make herself more relaxed, but when she heard Luo Yelin's words, she also remembered what she had said, "When the hotel is bigger, take down the inn next door, and then officially divide the 'Yuanju Pavilion' into shares, and give the innkeeper next door, Song Qin and Song Jian a part each".
So she followed Luo Yelin's words: "I have this idea, but I am still planning it." ”
"In that case," Hearing An Juan really say that he had plans in this regard, the smile on Luo Yelin's face became even more dazzling: "This king also wants to participate and help Miss An expand this store." ”
"Lord Wang, do you want to buy shares?" After listening to Luo Yelin's words, An Juan summed up and asked.
"Stake?" Luo Yelin had some difficulty understanding this modern term, so he bit the word and asked.
An Juan immediately explained to him: "It means that at the beginning of the store, several people contribute money to start a business, and when they finally earn money, they will be divided according to the proportion of the original payment, which is called 'dividends'." ”
"Oh?" Luo Yelin didn't expect this kind of statement, first pondered for a moment, and then said with some emotion: "Miss An's method is really good, then the king will 'buy shares' to help Miss An make the hotel bigger, and by the way, you can also make some money." ”
When An Juan said this, in fact, there was a reason to guide Luo Yelin to open a store together, and then use the identity of the prince to make some convenience, but having said that, she still didn't have much confidence in Luo Yelin...... After all, the dignified prince has so much money, how can he use shares to get dividends?
After getting Luo Yelin's reply, An Juan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Since the prince has a plan, let's discuss it when we have time." ”
Luo Yelin wanted to say "Let's talk now" to An Juan, but when he saw An Juan suddenly stand up and greet the few guests who had just entered the door, he swallowed back the words that had slid into his mouth.
After closing today, An Juan went to the money bank with Song Jian and Song Qin as usual to save money, then brought some silver money, went to the bookstore to buy a few pieces of rice paper, and went to the roadside to buy a charcoal pen.
When she came out to look for Song Qin and Song Jian, she found the two of them standing in front of a ready-to-wear store, probably wanting to buy clothes.
She wanted to go back to sort out the recipes, so she didn't continue to linger on the street, but after greeting Song Qin and Song Jian, she turned around and went back to the courtyard.
Back in her room, she cut the rice paper to the right size, folded it into a stack, and then rolled up the charcoal with a cloth and barely wrote and drew on the paper.
An Juan didn't know how to use a brush, and there was no gel pen in ancient times, so An Juan could only buy a charcoal pen, reluctantly tried it, and after getting acquainted with it, he began to officially write on rice paper.
For some recipes that also exist in this era, An Juan has no idea of keeping them private, and the reason for her victory is not because of the recipes or the process of cooking.
But for things like "fried chicken", "mashed potatoes" and "meat buns", Anwan has to consider which part of the dish should be hidden, or directly not let the hired chef touch the dish.
When it comes to frying chicken, the most important thing is the steps to marinate the chicken thighs and the batter, which can be made in advance and fried by the chef.
In the case of mashed potatoes, the vegetables taken out of the Anwan space can be handed over to the chef.
As for the meat buns, it is necessary to pay attention to the condiments used for stewing meat.
At first, An Juan could carefully write down the things in her mind on paper, but after the handwriting written by the charcoal pen became thicker and uglier, she couldn't help throwing the charcoal, and thought in her heart, "There are so many capable people, I am so guarded, and I can completely be found by people who are interested in the production methods and steps of food...... In this regard, it is better to try to improve a few more dishes, even if it becomes popular in the future, it can also get the title of 'originator'. ”
After making excuses for herself, An Juan breathed a sigh of relief, first packed up all the rice paper on the table and threw it into the stove, then put the charcoal aside, and the whole person lay on the table, diving into the space, harvesting the newly grown vegetables, and then replanting a stubble.
The spiritual spring in the center of the space was still lying there quietly, and An Juan couldn't help but look at it, thinking that after the Yuanju Pavilion didn't need her to show up every day, she could go out to play for a few days, and then use this excuse to use the spiritual spring to wash her muscles and veins.
Soon Song Qin and Song Jian came back together, and Song Qin also specially bought her favorite rock sugar gourd for An Juan on the side of the road, and rushed to express it to her as soon as she entered the house.
After thanking him, An Juan took the rock sugar gourd, first looked at it, and after making sure that there was no core in it, he took a big bite of a hawthorn, and forgot all his troubles in the sour and sweet refreshing, and temporarily became a snack.
In modern times, Anjuan likes to eat these snacks very much, in addition to rock sugar gourds, there are also things like chestnut cakes, crispy noodles, and spicy strips......
Speaking of spicy strips, An Juan felt a spicy taste burning in her mouth again, and she actually wanted to eat it again.
In ancient times, there were no spicy strips.
Anwan sighed, trying to get the snack out of his mind, but the more he tried to forget, the more it lingered in his mind.
"Alas......"
Forget it, since you want to eat it, let's make it yourself!
