Chapter 18 Salt and pepper barbecue
Out of the teahouse, Chen Xiaonian was a little worried.
"That shopkeeper won't report to the official, right?"
Erlang shook his head at Chen Xiaonian, although he didn't say a word, it made Chen Xiaonian's heart calm down.
But since they've come here, they have to sell their things.
Looking at the tea cones hanging on Erlang's body, Chen Xiaonian thought about it, and shouted that Erlang came to the restaurant.
When the shopkeeper saw that they were back again, he greeted them with a smile.
"Little lady, what's the good stuff again?"
Seeing her embarrassed, the shopkeeper asked more: "But what difficulties have you encountered?" ”
Chen Xiaonian was a little embarrassed to take out the tubes of willow bud tea, "Shopkeeper, I have some self-made tea here, I don't know if you can accept it here." ”
When they were selling fish, the shopkeeper saw these bamboo tubes, but he didn't ask much when he saw that they didn't plan to sell them.
Afraid that the shopkeeper would not accept it, Chen Xiaonian made a small cup first, "You taste it?" My tea is different from the ordinary, and it is the most greasy. ”
The shopkeeper tasted it, and the taste was indeed different.
But......
The shopkeeper put down the teacup, "What we have drunk in our town for many years is the new tea in Wangyuan Mountain, and your tea has a special taste, I'm afraid there are few people who like it." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Erlang had already put away the tea, obviously not wanting to sell it.
Chen Xiaonian stopped him first, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'll teach you to make a dish again, with this tea to relieve greasy, how about it?" ”
The shopkeeper's eyebrows flew and smiled, "I personally invited Chen Xiaonian to the back kitchen." ”
When the cook saw her coming, he put down his work and gathered around her, all curiously waiting for what dish she could teach today.
Last time, Chen Xiaonian's bamboo tube fish made the restaurant's business boom all of a sudden, and the two of them also increased their wages a lot, and when they met more generous diners, they could also reward some more.
Now that the two of them have met Chen Xiaonian, it is like meeting the God of Wealth, and they must be more enthusiastic.
Chen Xiaonian didn't think about what dishes to teach today, so he went to the kitchen and looked at it, there were a lot of ingredients, but there were fewer ingredients.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a two-finger-thick stone slab leaning against the corner of the wall, and Chen Xiaonian suddenly had an idea.
He asked two cooks to help clean the slate, and asked them to set up a brazier next to it and put it on a stand.
She went to the kitchen and chose a beautiful piece of pork belly, cut it into even and wide slices, and marinated the cut meat with the ingredients she had at hand.
Heat the pot again, put some peppercorns and cumin, stir-fry over low heat, and then sprinkle with salt. Out of the pot, wait for it to cool through, and then crush it with a rolling pin, which becomes salt and pepper.
By the time she was done, the two cooks had already set up the fire.
The shopkeeper said, "Little lady, where did you learn these dishes?" ”
She smiled: "My name is Chen Xiaonian, and the one outside is my father-in-law, Jian Erlang, and the shopkeeper can just call us by name." My father was a hunter back then, and he guarded the mountains all the year round, and there was nothing good to eat in the mountains, and the food he cooked was not fine, but it tasted very good. That's what he taught me. ”
Seeing that she picked up two more green vegetable leaves, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Two dishes today?" ”
Chen Xiaonian smiled, "One." But this dish is enough for people to eat a table. ”
In addition to the green cabbage leaves, Chen Xiaonian also prepared some other side dishes, shiitake mushrooms and potatoes......
The things were prepared, and the slate was hot.
I saw Chen Xiaonian brushing oil on the slate, and put the meat slices on the slate, and after a while, the oil on the meat slices was roasted, and there was a sizzling sound, and there was a burst of meat fragrance in an instant.
"It smells so good!"
"This is even more fragrant than the bamboo tube fish last time."
The shopkeeper swallowed, "How long do you have to wait for this?" ”
Chen Xiaonian picked up a piece, put it on the green vegetable leaves that had been washed early, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Taste it." ”
The shopkeeper resisted, "This leaf is raw." ”
"You can eat it raw."
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't dare to speak, she handed it to the cook next to her, who hesitated for a moment and took a bite.
The freshness of the leaves is sandwiched with the barbecue, and it doesn't feel greasy at all, and the two chefs really can't stop with such an alternative taste and beautiful taste.
The shopkeeper tried it herself like she had just done, and his eyes lit up.
It's delicious.
Seeing that she was roasting other side dishes, the shopkeeper swallowed this bite and asked, "These are also wrapped in vegetable leaves?" ”
She shook her head, took out the prepared salt and pepper, and motioned for the shopkeeper to dip it.
The shopkeeper tasted it, and the old tears were rampant.
"It looks crude, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
Thinking of the willow bud tea they brought, the shopkeeper took a sip and sighed: "It's really greasy." ”
"Shopkeeper, can this be sold for silver?"
The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "If you can earn it, you can definitely earn it!" ”
Chen Xiaonian shouted to the shopkeeper and pointed to the lobby of the restaurant, "The shopkeeper can find some small stone slabs, set up a small stove, and when the time comes, you can bake whatever you want to eat." If there is really something that the boy is unwilling to do, find two guys with good mouths to roast them. You can gossip with your guys when you're bored, barbecue when you're hungry, and tea when you're tired. How nice. ”
The smile on the shopkeeper's face was behind his ears.
"Very good, very good!"
The shopkeeper was happy, and Chen Xiaonian was also happy.
Thinking that Erlang had been waiting at the door for a long time, she was afraid that she was in a hurry, but she looked over, but she didn't see Erlang's shadow.
The shopkeeper brought her silver, and this time it was ten taels!
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, the shopkeeper was bold, "Miss Xiao Nian, you just say it, don't hide it like this." ”
Seeing him like this, Chen Xiaonian didn't squirm anymore, she pointed to the stone slab over there, "These, can I bring some to my family?" My husband is still hungry. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly asked the cook to pack some barbecue and salt and pepper, and Chen Xiaonian took something and just came out of the restaurant, just when he met Erlang who rushed back.
She wrapped a piece of roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth, "Taste it." ”
Erlang was stunned at first, but when he tasted it, the expression on his face relaxed.
"How?"
Her eyes were sparkling and beautiful.
Jiro couldn't speak, just nodded.
Chen Xiaonian was very happy and gave him all the barbecue, "You eat it all, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Erlang shirked twice, probably meaning to leave some for the Wang family.
"There are also salt and pepper, I'll make it for my mother when I go back."
After taking two steps forward, she remembered to ask, "Where did you just go?" ”
Jiro pointed in the direction of the bazaar.
Chen Xiaonian didn't ask again, but she was puzzled in her heart, she had just seen some anger between Erlang's eyebrows......
Is it really wrong?
When they returned to the village, they saw people pointing at them from a distance. And the gate of her house was open, and the yard was a mess.
