Chapter 22 The conscience is great
With the help of Fan Xian's rising momentum, Xiao Zhang successfully moved out the imperial kitchen, Xiao Yuxin, and the emperor to say it again.
Although he didn't say it openly, whoever he put it on, he couldn't help but secretly think that this matter had something to do with the royal family.
Fan Xianzhi's face was particularly ugly, and he looked at the princes and brothers who were interested in asking Xiao Zhang about the restaurant, snorted angrily, and turned around: "Let's go." ”
Shen Huwen Xie Liang took a look at the scene and followed with his neck bent.
After Fan Xianzhi and the others went, the enthusiasm of the Xungui disciples had not yet retreated, and they all clamored to see Xiao Zhang's restaurant. It is said to recognize the way.
Xiao Zhang naturally would not give up this good opportunity for publicity, and led them to go. also deliberately turned around the back kitchen, just to let these people see the hard kitchen in the back kitchen.
At night, the Tongfu Restaurant closed its doors, and Xiao Zhang began to teach the imperial chefs to cook.
Today's dish is shredded pork with Kyoto sauce.
"In the future, you can change the way you cook, and you can't just eat things when they're cooked. The so-called frying, cooking, frying, simmering, boiling, stewing. Each has its own characteristics. Come on, you guys will see how I do it first, and learn a little bit. ”
All the chefs nodded, and sure enough, they all honestly gathered around.
Xiao Zhang first marinated the shredded meat with the stuffy donkey, and then used the soy sauce he refined from the sauce in the past few days to freshen the dish.
Coupled with the sugar color he boiled with rock sugar, a set of processes, although there are not as many seasonings as in later generations. But for a while, the shredded pork in Beijing sauce is still a delicacy in the world.
Xiao Yuxin, who was still complaining about the events of the day, immediately closed her mouth and wrapped the dough in a cake and sent it to her stomach.
"Come on, come on, don't be stunned, you guys can taste it too."
The imperial chefs agreed, and after surrounding them, they used chopsticks to clip one and put it in their mouths, and the next second, everyone's expressions changed.
"How? What does it taste like? ”
Xiao Zhang asked with a smile.
"It's delicious, I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've eaten something so delicious."
A young looking chef exclaimed.
Although the other imperial chefs didn't speak, the expressions they showed from between their eyebrows also proved their inner approval at this time.
"I haven't eaten it because your cooking method was too simple before, cooking was originally a pleasure, but you forced it to become a boring job. For the next three days, you don't care about anything, and practice your chopping skills first. After three days, if you are proficient, I will teach you the cooking process. ”
Several imperial chefs glanced at each other, put down their chopsticks, and bowed vigorously to Xiao Zhang: "Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness, we promise to work hard." ”
Xiao Zhang laughed: "Work together, work together." ”
After dealing with the affairs of the imperial kitchen, Xiao Zhang made another piece of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and handed it to Xiao Yuxin with some dough cakes in a food box: "You can bring this back to the palace and let the beautiful aunt and the emperor's uncle eat it as a supper." ”
"Well, you have a conscience."
"I have a great conscience when I say that."
"Huh."
In the joke, Xiao Yuxin left with the food box.
Back in the palace, the emperor and queen tasted the shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and inevitably praised Xiao Zhang's filial piety.
What's wrong with being stupid? It's not enough for children to be filial.
For this reason, the queen was happy, and also said that on the day of the opening of Tongfu Restaurant, she would send someone over to bless her.
"Queen Mother, you're too good for nerds."
Xiao Yuxin pretended to be jealous and pouted.
"Oh, my girl is out of balance. The queen mother won't let her go. ”
"Don't, don't, I'm kidding, Queen Mother. You'd better let people go. ”
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but point at Xiao Yuxin with her hand: "You." It's still fun with the queen mother, right? ”
While eating shredded pork in Beijing sauce, the emperor smiled and looked at the interaction between the mother and daughter, he raised his hand and said to Li Wenying next to him: "Don't stand, go, move a stool and sit down together, and try the craftsmanship of Xiao Fool." ”
Li Wenying clenched his fists with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
…
Ten days later.
On the day of the opening of Tongfu Restaurant.
In the past ten days, Xiao Zhang has done the propaganda in place. Basically, there is no one in Wuyi Lane who doesn't know that the royal family is standing behind the Tongfu Restaurant.
Cao Ding was in the front yard to gather the guests, and Xiao Zhang was in the back kitchen to instruct the chefs to cook.
In the past ten days of drills, they have also felt a little bit about cooking.
After all, these people are experienced chefs, and Xiao Zhang only needs a little guidance.
"Whether our restaurant can fire this first shot is the key today. Guys, get busy. ”
Xiao Zhang came to the stove while tying an apron, took the list sent by the front desk boy, and began to get busy with a few chefs.
One by one, the dishes were sent out, and Xiao Er ran to the back kitchen again and again, and the busy one was in full swing.
From afar, you can hear the people in the restaurant, and it is very lively.
On the side of Wuyi Lane, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly.
The prince lifted the curtain and was about to get out of the car, but when he saw the crowd crowd and went deeper into the alley, he frowned.
"What's going on? What's going on in Wuyi Lane? ”
The entourage of the driver hurriedly got out of the car and pulled passers-by to inquire about the situation.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is said that today is the prince of Xiangdong, and the Tongfu Restaurant opened by the prince of Lingling and Princess Yuxin has opened. Everybody's going to cheer. ”
The prince frowned: "Xiao Zhang's restaurant? ”
The entourage nodded: "Well, I heard that Xiao Zhang also asked for a few imperial chefs from the palace, and he also made a kind of liquor called stuffy donkey as a gimmick." That's why everyone flocked to it. ”
Hearing this, the corners of the prince's mouth hooked: "Tongfu Restaurant, hehe, this king wants to see what tricks Xiao Zhang is going to play." Let's go to Tongfu Restaurant. ”
The attendant said yes and drove deeper into the alley.
At the same time, the kitchen in the back of the restaurant is full of the sound of spoons colliding with iron pots.
"I said nerd, it's a little inappropriate for you to cook by yourself as a shopkeeper. Now many guests outside are complimenting our food on the deliciousness and asking who came up with the idea. Why don't you go out and have a look? By the way, get closer to everyone? ”
Cao Ding hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, wiped the sweat beads on his face and said to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang chewed rock candy while stir-frying: "I'm not good at this kind of thing, not to mention the new opening today, I can't keep an eye on it in the back kitchen." But you, aren't you busy ahead? ”
Cao Ding sighed: "Didn't I take a break for a while?" Speaking of nerds, everyone said that the stuffy donkey drank it, and there was this good baby, why didn't you tell me earlier. ”
"Tell you if you can still have a secret? This thing is a big killing weapon that I specially prepared today, and of course I have to take it out at a critical moment. ”
"Haha, I knew my brother was resourceful. Alright, I'll go first. Don't forget to visit each private room later. It's always right to be familiar. ”
