Chapter 48: Strength Convinces the Public
"Humph! I don't know what the shopkeeper of Murong thinks, he actually let a little girl who hasn't grown all her hair to guide us?! ”
The person who spoke stood in the corner, looking about forty years old, and his appearance was ordinary, but looking at Yun Xiaoshuang's eyes was really a little unceremonious.
His name is Wang Xu, and he is the head chef of this drunken immortal building in the county, and he is also the most senior among all the chefs present, and to be able to become the head chef of the drunken immortal building in the county seat, he naturally has good cooking skills.
"The kitchen is not a place for a little girl like you, I advise you to go home as soon as possible." Wang Xu took a few steps forward, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at Yun Xiaoshuang with a bit of mockery in his eyes.
Wang Xu really didn't see what was so special about the little girl in front of her, how could she be qualified to guide so many chefs present?
Even if the recent smash hit in the city was made by her, it was just a small trick.
"This chef, but your shopkeeper Murong personally invited me here, if I really go home, how are you going to explain it to him?"
Yun Xiaoshuang was not annoyed, and looked at Wang Xu with a smile, not surprised by such a scene at all.
"Don't use Murong's shopkeeper to pressure me, I, Wang Xu, have been the chef in this Drunken Immortal Mansion for so many years, and I have never been the only one to guide others, when will it be the turn of others to guide me!"
Wang Xu glared at Yun Xiaoshuang with disdain, "Just you, a yellow-haired girl who hasn't grown all your hair, I'm afraid you haven't even touched a kitchen knife, right?" ”
"Don't go too far!"
Zhao Hong couldn't bear it anymore when he heard it on the side, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to step forward to reason with this Wang Xu:
"Anyway, we are also guests invited by your Murong shopkeeper, isn't it possible that you Drunken Immortal Mansion treats guests like this?"
Yun Xiaoshuang stopped her, and getting angry didn't help.
And Murong Ye was standing in the attic at the moment, quietly watching everything that was happening below, and he didn't plan to help for the time being.
You must know that the group of chefs downstairs are all lords who are praised to the sky on weekdays, if Yun Xiaoshuang can't be recognized by them, even if they come forward to force them, they won't really cooperate.
"I didn't expect that the chefs in this drunken immortal building are all people who judge people by their appearance, no wonder the taste of the dishes made in the past two years has become worse and worse."
Yun Xiaoshuang sighed, seeming to have some regret.
"What did you say?!"
Wang Xu was suddenly furious, "You little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky is so nonsense!" ”
The most unacceptable thing for a chef is that others accuse her of making dishes that taste bad, Yun Xiaoshuang can be regarded as a reversal now, and now not only Wang Xu is targeting her, but even other chefs have begun to accuse her.
"What's wrong with the taste of our Drunken Immortal Building?!"
"I don't know what kind of drug this yellow-haired girl gave to Murong's shopkeeper, but she actually believed her in a daze?"
"How can a girl who is estimated to not even recognize the seasoning be able to develop a seasoning with brine water? Maybe this girl is doing some kind of conspiracy! ”
Suddenly, Yun Xiaoshuang became the target of everyone.
She was too lazy not to argue, but Zhao Hong was angry and began to argue with everyone, but after all, the other party had an advantage in numbers, no matter how good she was on weekdays, she would fall behind at this time.
Taking advantage of everyone's arguments, Yun Xiaoshuang lit a fire and directly began to make brine.
Prepare an apple and cut it into slices, pat the cinnamon into small pieces with the back of a knife, then cut the licorice into thick slices, put the shallots and other seasonings in a pot and boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and slowly boil.
A series of movements are smooth, complete and smooth, at first glance it is a person who often enters the kitchen, Wang Xu's heart jumped, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
He insisted on self-comfort, even if he knew some three-legged cat kung fu, he still had no qualifications to guide himself.
Taking advantage of the efforts to boil the marinade, Yun Xiaoshuang cleaned up the water that had been prepared and put it into clean water to cook.
After a while, the marinade in the pot emitted a burst of fragrance, and everyone in the audience invariably focused their attention on Yun Xiaoshuang's body.
When the spices in the pot were completely boiled out of the fragrance, Yun Xiaoshuang put the water in it, and at the same time added rice wine and rock sugar to polish and taste, and the skillful action made everyone in the audience feel a little surprised.
"Trick up!"
Wang Xu said stiffly, but he didn't take his eyes off the pot for half a minute.
Yun Xiaoshuang smiled and didn't speak, and continued to stir the brine water in the pot with a spatula, until an hour passed, and the brine was completed.
When Yun Xiaoshuang fished the brine water out of the pot, the eyes of everyone in the kitchen converged on her, including Wang Xu.
After letting the marinated water cool slightly, cut it into thin slices and add a little coriander, Yun Xiaoshuang brought it to the table.
This improved plate of brine water can be said to have a full range of color and flavor, especially the aroma of the marinade that lingers on the tip of the nose from the moment it comes out of the pot, which is even more mouth-watering.
"Let's try it, everybody."
As soon as Yun Xiaoshuang's words came out, everyone couldn't wait to go up and taste it first, and after tasting it, a look of surprise immediately appeared on their faces, Wang Xu suddenly felt a little impatient when he saw this, and finally stepped forward to taste it.
He just wanted to see what tricks this little girl was playing!
However, as soon as the dish was eaten, the expression on Wang Xu's face instantly froze.
It's not that Wang Xu hasn't eaten brine, but it's all made with the marinade sent from Lizhou City, and the taste is naturally very different from that made by Yun Xiaoshuang on the spot.
And he himself has tried to make this marinade, but the taste is always a little unsatisfactory.
"Is this really what you did?"
Wang Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at Yun Xiaoshuang in front of him with some suspicion.
"If it wasn't my sister-in-law who did it, could it be that you did it?"
Zhao Hong had long seen that this Wang Xu was not pleasing to the eye, and at this moment, seeing that he even questioned the obvious facts, he suddenly became more and more unhappy.
"Everyone present saw that this brine was made by my sister-in-law herself, could it be that it was fake?!"
Wang Xu was stunned by Zhao Hong's words, and then a trace of bitterness appeared in his heart, and after coming back to his senses, he saluted Yun Xiaoshuang in front of him.
"Miss Xiaoshuang, I offended a lot just now, please forgive me."
Although Wang Xu's mouth is indeed a little vicious, as long as the other party has enough strength, he is also an extremely persuasive person.
"It doesn't matter."
Yun Xiaoshuang said with a smile, because of Wang Xu's clear love-hate nature, she had a good impression of him.
"So can we officially get started now?"
"Nature."
From the selection of seasonings to the step-by-step cooking, Yun Xiaoshuang was very serious, and explained the key to preparing the marinade to the chef with great patience.
After all, Zuixianlou will account for 10% of the profits in the future, and she naturally hopes that these chefs can master the essence.
However, Wang Xu and the others didn't know about this, seeing Yun Xiaoshuang so unreservedly pouring, they became more and more ashamed of what they had just done, and they were even more convinced of Yun Xiaoshuang.
Then Yun Xiaoshuang tasted the marinade prepared by everyone in turn, these people are worthy of being the chefs of the drunken immortal buildings everywhere, and their understanding is extremely high, she just mentioned it a little, and the taste of this prepared marinade can be called good.
In the end, Wang Xu led the other chefs to apologize to Yun Xiaoshuang and thank him, and this teaching guidance was officially over.
"It's finally done."
Yun Xiaoshuang stretched her waist and moved her muscles and bones, but it was just a teaching, but it made Yun Xiaoshuang feel more tired than cooking by herself.
"Are we going back today?"
Zhao Hong's tone was a little lost, although she had been playing crazy in the city all day yesterday, she still felt a little unhappy.
"If you like it, let's come to the county seat again in the future, why are you so disappointed?" Yun Xiaoshuang naturally saw Zhao Hong's careful thoughts, and reached out to scrape the bridge of her nose.
"We've been out for two days, and if we don't go back, the second uncle and second aunt will definitely be worried."
Zhao Hong thought to herself, and then the two went their separate ways, Yun Xiaoshuang went to the street to buy some gifts for the Zhao family, and Zhao Hong went back to the inn to pack up her things.
Before leaving, they were about to inform Murong Ye, and asked Xiao Er in the Drunken Immortal Building, and learned that he was receiving friends in the private room on the second floor.
Yun Xiaoshuang felt that it was not good to go up and disturb, so she was ready to ask Xiao Er to convey it, but as soon as she was about to leave, she saw Murong Ye coming down from the upper floor with a man.
The man was dressed in a dark green robe, and when he passed by, Yun Xiaoshuang seemed to smell a very faint medicinal fragrance, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Perhaps sensing Yun Xiaoshuang's gaze, the man's gaze also stayed on her for a while longer.
"Thank you Brother Murong for your hospitality today, then Lu will leave first."
"Brother Lu is polite, but it is inconvenient to send him off if he has something to do today."
Hearing this, Lu Zi'an immediately glanced at Yun Xiaoshuang on the side again, but this time there was a little more meaning in it, as if he had misunderstood something.
Yun Xiaoshuang couldn't help but feel that there were a few more black lines on her head......
After bidding farewell to Murong Ye, Yun Xiaoshuang left the Drunken Immortal Building and began to go towards the market in the east, and began to think about what gifts to buy for the Zhao family as she walked.
However, not long after she walked out of the Drunken Immortal Tower, she encountered an argument, and Yun Xiaoshuang didn't plan to join in the excitement, but when she heard a familiar voice, she couldn't help but pause.
