Chapter 040: Be a Chef

Wormwood and Qing Kui glanced at each other and nodded silently.

The two of them understood and each took a chopstick to the entrance.

Fishy, astringent, bitter......

The three flavors quickly gathered in the mouth, blended into an indescribable taste, and rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover, causing wormwood and green sunflower to immediately shed tears.

"Why, this thing is so delicious, I cry with joy?" Zheng Mingyuan's face was full of urgency, and he said with a smile.

Wormwood and Qingkui have completely become masks of pain, and they don't care about answering Zheng Mingyuan at all.

"This Houttuynia cordata is not used to being eaten by ordinary people, and it is inevitable that you will find it unbearable." Su Yujin said, "Go rinse your mouth and eat some baked cakes to press." ”

Mugwort and Qingkui hurriedly found a corner to spit out the houttuynia that they had only chewed in their mouths, rinsed their mouths with the help of Zeng Dayong, and then ate half of the baked cakes in their hands in one go, only then did they feel that the strange smell in their mouths had dissipated a lot.

But there was still a strange smell inside, which made the two of them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Eat some pine eggs, you can press it." Su Yujin said, "This thing is like stinky tofu, it doesn't look good, but it's actually delicious." ”

Preserved egg?

The name is very chic.

Seeing that Su Yujin was so sure of this food, Mugwort and Qingkui each took a piece to eat.

At first, I felt that the taste was a little strange, but after I chewed it, I felt that the mellow taste gradually spread, and the fragrance slowly surged.

And this kind of fragrance, full of aftertaste, if you eat more in one go, I am afraid that you will feel a little greasy, but this sauce has vinegar and minced garlic, which almost completely neutralizes this mellow aroma, making this Songhua egg become not greasy.

"It turns out that this kind of egg is called Songhua Egg." Zheng Mingyuan thought thoughtfully, "I saw someone pickling it before, but it was a pickled duck egg made unintentionally, although it tastes good, but there is no good name, speaking of the word Songhua, it is also very chic, but what is the saying?" ”

"It's not meaningful, it's just that Uncle Zheng looks at the flowers condensed on the egg white, isn't it like a pine flower." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"That's right." Zheng Mingyuan nodded, "What about these two dishes, charcoal-grilled pig's trotters and Diao Chan tofu, how are you eating?" ”

"The charcoal-grilled pig's trotters are very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is also excellent, if such charcoal-grilled pig's trotters are taken out, they must be recognized, but if I do it, the pig's trotters are cut in the middle, and some soybean flour, crushed peanuts and sauce are added, which tastes about better."

"Diao Chan Tofu tastes very good and stewed, full of fragrance, the soup is extremely delicious, this dish tastes very beautiful, if I do it, it is a great luck to be able to reach the level that Uncle Zheng did, and I can't find anything lacking."

Seeing that Su Yujin's attitude was very sincere, and what he said was very specific, and what he wanted to say was also the truth, Zheng Mingyuan smiled and nodded at Su Yujin, "The words are audible." ”

"Eat it, especially more of this." Zheng Mingyuan complacently moved the dish of houttuynia to Su Yujin, "I wasted a lot of effort to get such a fresh one, and the taste is the most positive." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin thanked him on his face, but the chopsticks did not touch the houttuynia in the slightest.

This thing is really not something that ordinary people can afford, and she is no exception!

The whole table of dishes, except for the houttuynia cordata, the other dishes are wonderful.

can basically see that Zheng Mingyuan's cooking skills really have nothing to say.

Su Yujin, who has a picky taste, can be said to be satisfied with eating, and wormwood and green sunflower are full of praise.

After the dishes and chopsticks were all cleaned up, Zeng Dayong brought the tea up, Zheng Mingyuan took a sip and glanced at Su Yujin, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin smiled and said, "It's not a secret, I originally opened a Su Ji food shop on the street, and the business is okay, but now I have saved some money in my hands, and I want to open another restaurant in the county, and the place is almost the same, but I haven't found a suitable chef for a long time." ”

"A few days ago, Brother Feng went to the store to sell these thirteen incense, I saw that the ingredients of these thirteen incense were excellent, and there was flour mixed in it, and after inquiring, I learned that it was made by his master, so I guessed that this Brother Feng's master must be a person with good cooking skills, so I tried my best to meet Uncle Zheng and see if you are willing to be the chef of my restaurant?"

"Be a chef." Zheng Mingyuan smacked his lips, "Speaking of which, I haven't been in charge of people for some years, and the last time I cooked for guests was seven years ago." ”

Then he narrowed his eyes, "You want to ask me to be the chef of your restaurant, I don't know how much it will cost?" ”

"Every month, the profit in the restaurant will be divided into 30% for Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin said.

"Thirty percent silver, that sounds like a lot." Zheng Mingyuan asked again, "What else?" ”

"In terms of kitchen management and dishes, Uncle Zheng's intention shall prevail." Su Yujin replied again.

Zheng Mingyuan raised his eyebrows this time, "Leave it all to me, don't worry?" My temper and temperament are not very good, aren't you afraid that I will make the kitchen a miasma and make a mess of the dishes? ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and Uncle Zheng will definitely not disappoint in this regard." Su Yujin replied with a smile, "Come again, Uncle Zheng wants to take thirty percent of the silver from the restaurant, and he will definitely make the restaurant more convenient, and Uncle Zheng doesn't need to cheat me specifically for the sake of pit me, Uncle Zheng, do you say that this is the reason?" ”

"That's right." Zheng Mingyuan nodded, "The little girl is not very old, and things can be seen transparently. ”

Zheng Mingyuan squinted his eyes, his eyes were full of cunning, "But this courage is also big enough." ”

Being able to use him as a chef is really not something that ordinary people can make.

"If you want to make money, you have to take some risks, and there is no reason to take it all." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"That's it." Zheng Mingyuan slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, "Just say these words to you, just wait for your restaurant to open, and I will be on call." ”

Su Yujin was overjoyed, "Then let's make a decision?" ”

"It's okay to sign and draw, but it's ...... in front of you."

Zheng Mingyuan smiled, "I want to try to make a pot of stew to eat now, you have to give me a hand, Dayong's kid is really stupid and useless." ”

Zeng Dayong, "......"

Is there a master who says that about apprentices?

Regarding the matter of helping Zheng Mingyuan to cook stew, Su Yujin agreed and called on Qingkui and Wormwood to help deal with those pigs in the water.

The main ingredients for boiling are pig intestines and pig lungs, both of which are difficult to clean.

Both of them should be cleaned repeatedly with plant ash, salt, rice wine, vinegar, etc., especially the pig intestines, which need to be cleaned clean and clean.

After these two items were washed clean, Zeng Dayong lit the stove fire, and Zheng Mingyuan picked up the big iron spoon.
