Chapter 134: Showing a Hand
Shen Changge also knew that the Qi family and his wife would definitely cooperate with her.
Regardless of the grace of saving lives, if they rush to her cooking skills, they have no reason to refuse, after all, no one will get along with money.
"That's what I mean." She nodded.
Qi Zhengzhi made a cup of tea for her and smiled lightly: "That's great." However, can I try my sister's cooking? ”
He is a businessman, and since he wants to do business, he naturally has to know the other party's hole cards.
Although Mrs. Qi is good, she is a famous lady after all, she eats a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally eats some coarse tea and light rice, which naturally feels fresh.
"Okay!" Shen Changge also knew what he meant, so naturally he would not refuse.
So, she followed Qi Zhengzhi to the back kitchen.
The back kitchen of Qijia Restaurant is very large, and Chef Guang has hired several, not to mention miscellaneous ones.
Seeing that their owner came in with a woman, everyone couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Could it be that the proprietor is going to take a concubine again?
As soon as this thought sprung up in everyone's minds, it was quickly rejected.
How is this possible?
What is the status of their owner, even if they want to take a concubine, they have to choose a beautiful one.
However, this woman looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Girl, you can choose all the ingredients here." Qi Zhengzhi smiled faintly and said gently.
Shen Changge saw a carp on the stove, so he smiled and said, "That's it." ”
When they heard this, they understood.
It turned out that this woman was not a concubine to be accepted by the owner, but a cook who came to try her job.
Can a woman still show up as a cook?
When the eldest cook saw it, he smiled and said, "So the girl wants to make fish." Coincidentally, I can't do it well, I wonder if the girl will mind if I come up and watch? ”
"Whatever." Shen Changge disagreed.
She rolled up her sleeves, cleaned her hands, and took the fish to the chopping board and began to change the knife.
Compared to the women in the village, her knife skills are good.
But compared with these professional chefs in front of him, there is still a significant gap.
When the old cook saw it, he couldn't help but look disdainful.
I thought that the cook brought by Qi Zhengzhi could have two brushes, but I didn't expect that even the most basic knife skills were average.
When the fish is fried for a while, will this woman cry urgently?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the other people.
Shen Changge didn't pay attention to it at all, and after the pot was slightly hot, he began to wipe the bottom and surroundings of the pot with ginger.
"Girl, what are you doing here?" Qi Zhengzhi asked in surprise.
Shen Changge smiled: "It's not sticking to the pan like this." ”
Qi Zhengzhi was still puzzled, so he looked at his cooks with an inquiring gaze.
The cooks were also at a loss.
They rely on years of experience to avoid sticking to the pan.
Can a mere piece of ginger really have such a great effect?
After the pot was hot, Shen Changge added oil to the pot.
When the oil is hot, she puts the carp in it, reduces the heat to low heat, and deep-fry it until it is golden brown on both sides.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, she brought out the fried fish.
Sure enough, the fish was extremely complete and fragrant.
Shen Changge put the fatty meat prepared in advance into the pot and fried it for a while, then put in the ingredients, green onions, ginger, chili peppers, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant, and finally put in the sugar.
When the sugar is completely dissolved, vinegar and soy sauce are added.
After it is completely fried, the carp that has been fried in advance is put in, and finally the water mixed with the spring water is added.
After the heat boils, turn to low heat and simmer for a while, and then add chopped green onions to the pot after the soup is dry.
Soon, a plate of fragrant braised carp was ready.
The red fish with green onions is really beautiful.
"It's that simple?" Qi Zhengzhi asked in surprise.
This fish is really beautiful, but it looks similar to the cook in his own restaurant, and even rougher.
Sure enough, her own lady had never eaten coarse tea and light rice, and when she came home, she blew all the dishes made by this woman to the sky.
This kind of cooking can be done by the chef of any restaurant.
Shen Changge smiled: "Isn't it good to be simple? ”
She smiled as she picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them over: "You can taste it." ”
Qi Zhengzhi was a little uninterested, but he still took the chopsticks.
Forget it, it's almost bad.
For the sake of this woman's love for saving her own lady, even if she is given a share, why not, and her pastries are really good.
In his thoughts, he took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
But as soon as he took a bite, he was stunned.
"How?" Shen Changge rubbed his hands a little nervously.
After all, everyone's tastes are different, and she doesn't know if Qi Zhengzhi will like it.
Hearing this, Qi Zhengzhi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!" ”
"I didn't know that braised fish could be so delicious!"
When the cooks heard this, they couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
It seems that the Qi family is going to have another aunt.
The proprietor is really true, he didn't hesitate to open his eyes and talk nonsense in order to take a concubine!
But how could his vision be so bad that he was even willing to ask for this kind of rural village woman.
Could it be because the woman in the back house has never been pregnant, and he is anxious, so he deliberately chooses a strong woman to pass on the lineage?
Shen Changge listened, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Gongzi Qi has won the award." ”
"Girl, let's go upstairs and talk." Qi Zhengzhi took another bite before putting down his chopsticks.
Shen Changge listened, and followed him out of the back kitchen.
Seeing the two leaving, the old cook swaggered to the stove and put a mouthful of fish meat into his mouth with a look of disgust.
After all, they will work together in the future, and he has to know how capable this woman is.
As soon as he tasted it, he was shocked for a long time.
Did the woman really use the materials used in the back kitchen?
Why does the fish she makes taste so delicious?
The other cooks misunderstood, and couldn't help but laugh: "If it's unpalatable, just vomit, let's pour you a glass of water and rinse your mouth." ”。
The old cook did not answer.
Suddenly, he rushed out the door.
At this time, one of Qi Zhengzhi's family members came to meet him.
The old cook grabbed him and asked anxiously, "Who was that woman just now?" ”
Jia Ding smiled: "You said her, she is Shen Changge of Shangshui Village!" No wonder you don't recognize her, she's thinner than before, she's whiter, and she looks like a different person. ”
She ...... Is she the Great Scourge of Shen? The old cook couldn't believe his ears, and his eyes widened in astonishment, "Is she here to be a cook, or is she an aunt to the owner?" ”
Alas, I wanted to learn a few tricks from that woman.
But now it seems that this hope may be in vain.
"You don't talk nonsense here!" The family lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Our son-in-law is talking to her about business." Madame and the Shen family are good sisters now, if this word reaches her ears just now, I guarantee that you will not be able to eat and walk around! ”
Can a famous lady become a good sister with the scourge in the country of a fish?
For a moment, the old cook only felt that his brain was not enough.
"Alright, you don't have to be in a daze here!" Jia Ding smiled, "Hurry up and make a few more dishes, our son-in-law is going to invite the Shen family lady to dinner." ”
"Also, the one downstairs who drove the ox cart, you also prepare a few for him, don't neglect him."
At this time, Qi Zhengzhi and Shen Changge had already returned to the private room.
"My sister's cooking skills are really superb." Qi Zhengzhi smiled, "In this way, I will give you thirty percent of the shares, what do you think?" ”
He paid money and people, and he could give her 30% of the shares, which is indeed a lot.
Shen Changge thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's too much, it's good to achieve two things." ”
"I have a bold idea, and I want to hear from you."
"You see I'm only one person, and I can't cook too many dishes, so I'll take an apprentice and let her be here when she's busy."
For this request, Qi Zhengzhi naturally couldn't ask for it: "Listen to the girl." ”
"I also have a suggestion, I think it's better to open a separate store for pastries." Shen Changge thought for a while and said, "After all, there are still a few customers who come to the restaurant, and most people still like to buy the original in the pastry shop outside." ”
Qi Zhengzhi frowned slightly: "But if you can eat pastries outside, who would come to the restaurant on purpose?" ”
"It doesn't matter, the varieties that restaurants have are definitely not sold on the market." Shen Changge said with a smile, "The restaurant sells high-end pastries, and the store sells some prices that ordinary people can accept." ”
Qi Zhengzhi was a little embarrassed and said, "Won't this be too troublesome." ”
If you open another store, you will have to find a place to hire people.
And he thinks that a pastry shop shouldn't make much money.
