Chapter 63: The Secret
When Qin Jiaoyun and Li Chuanshui walked into the back kitchen of the hotel, Li Chuanshui felt that the time had come.
He will tell this woman all the skills he has improved, so that Qin Jiaoyun will have an intuitive understanding of his own ability, and he will be more confident and bold to cooperate with Li Chuanshui in business.
With the idea of throwing an olive branch, Li Chuanshui walked to the steamer and cage drawer where the second red rice was made.
After stopping, Li pointed to the cage drawer and said to Qin Jiaoyun: "The reason why the two red rice I made is much better than the original one in the store is because I added a kind of spreading ......."
While speaking, Li Chuanshui picked up the lid of the pot on the cage drawer, and then asked Qin Jiaoyun to look at it herself.
Looking at it, Qin Jiaoyun looked at it curiously for a while, and finally suddenly realized: "No wonder these two red rice have a wonderful sweet and sour taste, it turns out ...... You added the word Mei. ”
"That's right!" Li Chuanshui explained: "Huamei itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but also a kind of pickles, plum can produce Jin, detoxify the three poisons, and has a unique sweet and sour taste......
While speaking, Li Chuanshui picked up a piece of boiled soft plum on the rice pot from the rice pot, and said while looking at it: "When I make Erhong rice, I lay such a layer of sweet plums on the barley in the rice pot, and add a layer of cage cloth, so that the unique sugar with the sour smell of plums can penetrate into the rough barley rice from top to bottom......
In this way, the dried plums continue to absorb water as the humidity increases, and when they reach a certain level, they will squeeze the special sugar contained in the inner part and feed it back to the barley below due to gravity.
The sugars are mixed with the taste of green plums, which are sweet, sour and sticky, which can just make up for the roughness and gaps of the barley itself, while the wet plums swell and form a protective film on the steaming rice basket, which makes the temperature inside the barley rice extremely high, forming a semi-closed "inner environment".
In this environment, barley and adzuki beans are boiled at a high temperature that has not been seen before, and the combination of sugar eventually forms a wonderful reaction.
In this reaction, the coarse grain barley rice is pressed and boiled to become more porcelain-soft and glutinous, during which the red beans are softened by high temperature to a state almost like bean paste, and the sweet and sour plums are diluted and blended with the taste of the barley rice itself......
The final product is the kind of "sour plum two red rice" that Qin Jiaoyun tasted, which can be used as both a staple food and an appetizer.
After talking about the secret of the second red rice, Li Chuanshui told Qin Jiaoyun again: "These three dishes have a common core, that is, sweetness, and for the kind of sweetness that is like threading, I removed the celery in the vegetarian three crisps and replaced them with sweet peppers......
In this way, the vegetarian three crispy will make up for the loss of crispiness due to the softness of the second red rice, and at the same time make the fresh and sweet taste even better.
In the end, Li Chuanshui took out a handful of black "branches" and said: "Finally, I added this main ingredient to the soup of Dongpo meat, so that the sweetness continues, and at the same time, the aroma of the meat is maximized." ”
"This is ......" Qin Jiaoyun stared at the small bundle of black things, which seemed to be a little unrecognizable.
Looking at Qin Jiaoyun's puzzled look, Li Chuanshui explained with a smile: "It's licorice, a kind of traditional Chinese medicine and seasoning with a special sweetness!" ”
"Oh!" Qin Jiaoyun suddenly realized.
After listening to Li Chuanshui's unique production, Qin Jiaoyun couldn't help but praise: "When making Dongpo meat, many people know about adding sugar, but that sweetness is very difficult to control, and it is always noisy, but the sweetness of this licorice is like a catalyst to encourage the fragrance of meat, which is really clever." ”
Listening to Qin Jiaoyun's words, Li Chuanshui said with a smile: "It's not that I'm smart, but because licorice is easy to use, the sweetest substance of licorice is glycyrrhizin, which is pure natural, high-quality sugar, and ordinary sucrose, it is a taste that is far higher than one or two grades." ”
After listening to Li Chuanshui's detailed explanation, Qin Jiaoyun suddenly said: "With such wonderful seasonings and creativity, no wonder this meat is so delicious......
After praising the meat, Qin Jiaoyun looked at Li Chuanshui with an appreciative gaze: "Although licorice is a very unique seasoning, it must be made by smart people, and you ...... It's the kind of smart people. ”
"Huh!" Li Chuan responded with a smile, and then said with relief: "Miss Qin, you know all my secrets, now I have nothing to say, can I leave?" ”
In Li Chuanshui's questioning, Qin Jiaoyun suddenly smiled flickeringly, with a foxy smile in it, and even more with a weird badness.
Then, Qin Jiaoyun suddenly took a few steps back and closed the door of the back kitchen of the hotel upside down.
Seeing Qin Jiaoyun's action of closing the door, Li Chuanshui was a little stunned and said, "Miss Qin, what does this mean?" Lonely man and widow, you're still closed, right? ”
Listening to Li Chuanshui's question, Qin Jiaoyun not only did not restrain herself, but took a step closer.
The woman walked straight to Li Chuanshui's side with straight black silk legs like pencils, and the two of them stood so close that Li Chuanshui could clearly see the mole on her face.
At a distance where they could see the blackhead and the mole, Qin Jiaoyun laughed very formally, and then said: "Xiao Shuishui, you think too much, the reason why I closed the door is because I want to talk to you about some serious things, I hope you ...... before you go out of this door." Promise me three conditions. ”
"You say, I'll listen first." Li Chuanshui was cunning, and at the same time sighed in his heart, the moment he was waiting for...... It's finally coming.
Listening to Li Chuanshui's promise, Qin Jiaoyun said without hesitation: "First, I hope you don't call me Miss Qin in the future, if you feel appropriate, call me Xiaoyun, if you feel too tired, call me Jiaoyun." ”
"Okay Miss Qin!" Li Chuanshui nodded and said, "I did it completely." ”
Listening to Li Chuanshui's answer, Qin Jiaoyun nodded, and then said the second thing: "Xiao Shuishui, I hope that my previous vulgar remarks will not affect your and my feelings, after all, I am a woman, if I don't say some cruel things and do some cruel things, I am in the Peacock Group, and I can't convince the public." ”
Qin Jiaoyun's behavior was naturally to slap a red date, although the woman didn't know what to say, Li Chuanshui also knew what she thought.
However, in order to cooperate, in order to make money and marry Bai Susu, Li Chuanshui's compromise and "understanding" should still be.
Therefore, Li Chuanshui nodded and said very generously: "Understood!" I won't care, so what's your third one?! ”
Listening to the question, Qin Jiaoyun said very simply: "The third is an invitation of mine, I hope to hire you as the manager of the Chinese food department of our Peacock Group, with an annual salary of one million, a car, a house, if you need it...... I can also match you with a woman. ”
Listening to Qin Jiaoyun's temptation, Li Chuanshui shook his head resolutely and said, "I'm sorry Qin ...... Jiaoyun, I can't agree to this request of yours, because the money you gave is too little! And I can only work with you, I won't work for you. ”
"Less?!" Qin Jiaoyun was stunned and said, "Then how much do you want?!" ”
Listening to Qin Jiaoyun's curiosity, Li Chuanshui replied without thinking: "Ten million!" I want 10 million in cash. ”
