Chapter 386: Solicitation
For the vast majority of ancient women, cooking was one of the necessary skills. Don't look at Su Xiaomei, who used to be a Qing man carefully cultivated by Cuihong Mansion, but in addition to piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, this female celebrity, cooking skills and other skills are also very good.
In addition, when she was "cutting hair and washing the marrow" in the "fairy vessel" and receiving training, considering that she was not interested in business and management matters, Su Xiaomei deliberately specialized in cooking and other necessary skills at home.
Therefore, even though the kitchen of this Japanese wine shop is far worse than that of its own Xiaoyao Villa, I don't know how much worse it is, but under Su Xiaomei's skillful hands, those ingredients are still quickly cut, pickled, and then cooked through frying, barbecue and other techniques.
There is no way, the stir-fried dishes that are popular in Chang'an City have not yet reached the Wa Kingdom, and without a suitable pot, it is not easy to fry delicious dishes. In addition, the private room was still waiting, so Su Xiaomei naturally didn't want to waste time.
Fortunately, the two cooking methods of frying and grilling, although they seem simpler, are actually not that easy. Not to mention seasoning, just a matter of heat is enough to divide the chefs into three, six, nine and so on.
And Su Xiaomei, who has been systematically trained and has made many dishes in the virtual reality world, naturally does not belong to the category of those low-level chefs. Before and after, it was half an hour, and a few dishes were already neatly prepared.
If you say, the sake shop, well, in fact, it should be the proprietress of the izakaya, after seeing the ingredients taken out of the strange box, she was just surprised that the people of the Celestial Empire were really extraordinary. It's so particular about eating.
So after seeing Su Xiaomei with her own eyes, with an efficiency that was enough to make people stunned, and cooking these very expensive ingredients that you knew at a glance into delicious dishes, the original awe of the Heavenly Empire was invisibly deepened N times.
What made the izakaya proprietress a headache was that as the dishes in the kitchen were cooked one by one, the rich aroma that filled the air immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of all the diners after drifting into the izakaya in the wind.
Don't look at this izakaya in the eyes of Li Anran, it is really nothing, but having the title of the best izakaya in the local area is not a reputation. Put it here. It's the same as the Dewei Building under the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao Villa. It is definitely a high-end consumption place.
The guests who can eat in this tavern dare not say how high their status is, but it is definitely not a place that ordinary people and those so-called swordsmen can enter. To paraphrase the words of later generations, they are also not bad at money.
In fact, I was waiting for Su Xiaomei to cook. Li Anran, who tried these dishes in front of him. I also think that the taste of these things is not very delicious. But there are some characteristics. With the eating habits of the Japanese people, it can be regarded as delicious.
But as the old saying goes, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods. I'm afraid of comparing things.
Although Su Xiaomei was unable to display her superb cooking skills due to the limited conditions, the sauce made with thirteen spices and some ingredients from the izakaya still had an attractive reaction with the ingredients during the frying and grilling process.
With the rich aroma in the air, diners who had been consuming in the izakaya immediately saw a clear contrast when they looked at the dishes in front of them. After mistakenly thinking that izakaya treats customers differently, it's no wonder that they can be satisfied.
I don't know if Lu Dao accepted the favor of the other party to borrow the kitchen, or if he never took that thing to heart. After the dishes were ready, Su Xiaomei not only brought the dishes and the incubator, but also left the remaining ingredients and seasonings in the kitchen.
Although the remaining ingredients are leftovers that have been cut to make the dish look and smell, these discarded leftovers are rare treasures for the Wakoku who have a fish or a roast bird.
As for the large bag of exotic spices, which only used about one-third of them, it was worth more than the same volume of gold in the eyes of the izakaya proprietress . And such a point of view is not because of the cheap gold and silver on the side of the Japanese country.
In the Tang Dynasty, except for those things that were still in the category of medicinal materials and had not been developed into spices, real spices were not expensive commodities compared to gold for those merchants engaged in cross-border trade.
Being able to do business here in the port of Kyushu Island, even if the proprietress of an izakaya is indeed an ordinary person, not to mention how an ordinary person can run such an izakaya, just in terms of eyesight, it is not comparable to ordinary Japanese girls.
After the charm of the izakaya proprietress finally confirmed that those ingredients, leftovers and spices were "garbage" that Su Xiaomei didn't want, the face that could clearly see that she must be beautiful when she was young suddenly smiled.
Regarding the proprietress of the izakaya, how to use the "garbage" she left to appease the dissatisfied diners outside, and how to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, Su Xiaomei, who was all focused on her young master, didn't bother to pay attention to it.
It's just that after the widow who helped her serve food left the private room, she told what had just happened as an anecdote for her young master to be happy.
For this kind of thing, Li Anran, who has also looked up some traditional Japanese customs before, is not surprised at all. As for Su Xiaomei's behavior of handing things over to the izakaya as garbage, she didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Come on, come on, try these dishes cooked by my Mei'er, these ingredients can't be seen outside, and eating a little more will have unexpected benefits for the body." Pointing to the fried steak in front of him, Li Anran greeted with a smile.
If it was someone else who said this, Zheng Chenggong and they would probably listen to it as a joke, but after seeing someone's unbelievable supernatural powers, no one dared not take things seriously.
"Oh? If a real person can say this, it seems that there must be something extraordinary about this thing, so I really need to eat more. Knowing that the other party is not the kind of existence that is high up and awe-inspiring, Zheng Chenggong took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and smiled.
As for the light of the Zheng family, as well as the hard work just now, and the opportunity to ask some questions about the situation of the Japanese kingdom later, the middle-aged steward who also stayed in the private room knew very well that this opportunity was not easy to come by, even if he said anything.
After Li Anran cut the steak meat piece that was about one centimeter square before it was served, he chewed it carefully, and praised it with a smile: "Mei'er, your cooking skills are getting more and more exquisite, this steak is quite good." ”
"If the young master likes it, then eat more, if it's not enough, I'll do it again." Su Xiaomei, who was kneeling and helping to pour wine and vegetables, said with a smile.
"The real person is too modest, this dish is not only good, it is really supremely delicious. After eating this, if you eat other beef, I'm afraid it will be tasteless. Zheng Chenggong, who also stuffed a piece of steak meat into his mouth and savored it, interjected with a smile.
In the face of such praise, Su Xiaomei didn't say anything, but just gave a smiling face in response.
It's not that Su Xiaomei can't speak, it's not that she has a cold personality, but she knows her identity very well. Even if he doesn't even have the title of a concubine, as a Taoist soldier, he naturally can't get too close to other men in front of his master.
"Huh...... That's not easy, as long as you want to eat such food every day. It's just that in this case, you have to follow me and not go anywhere else. Li Anran said half jokingly and half seriously.
The meaning of solicitation in these words is definitely Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
But even so, as a fleet steward of the Zheng family, he didn't dare to let go of his fart in the face of this grandiose behavior of digging corners. Even, I was looking forward to whether I could have such treatment.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the middle-aged steward also knows very well that he is not qualified at all. However, after witnessing this scene with my own eyes, what I thought in my heart was not to go back to make a small report, but to hesitate to come to a "good bird to perch on".
