Although there was a joke element in Su Qingluan's questioning, Shopkeeper Liang saw it very clearly.

He smiled and shook his head: "I am a layman in cooking, but Yuanwei is a connoisseur. He once said that the kung fu on the knife of the virtuous niece has not been practiced hard for several years, and I am afraid that it will not be so perfect, I wonder if the virtuous niece has studied under which master before? ”

Learning is learning, but this cannot be said truthfully.

Su Qingluan complained in his heart, but on the surface, he said haha: "Maybe I learned it before I lost my memory, so I feel very familiar with it when I touch a kitchen knife." ”

When Boss Liang saw Su Qingluan say this, he didn't ask anymore. He turned to the outside: "Yesterday, two new refreshments were brought in." ”

After a while, a guy carried two plates of plum blossom-shaped pastries with verdant colors and placed them in front of Su Qingluan and Liang Shopkeeper respectively.

Shopkeeper Liang pushed the plate in front of Su Qingluan slightly in her direction, and said attentively: "Niece Xian, try it, this refreshment that has been improved according to the method you said, can you try it, does it fit the taste?" ”

Su Qingluan nodded, picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it.

Sure enough, the greasy taste that was so sweet last time was gone, replaced by a faint green tea fragrance and slightly bitter fresh taste. The originally slightly dry taste is also more delicate due to the addition of lard.

As soon as Su Qingluan looked up, she saw that Shopkeeper Liang was raising his eyes and looking at her expectantly.

Su Qingluan nodded: "Sure enough, after such improvements, it is not so sweet and greasy, even if you are not very sweet people, you can also eat it." ”

Shopkeeper Liang nodded approvingly: "Like me, I think this dim sum with a slightly bitter taste is just right." It's just that Xian's niece really has an ingenious idea, how could she think of adding dim sum to tea to taste? ”

Su Qingluan said with a smile: "As long as it is eaten, it can be used as a condiment, and since tea can be drunk, it can naturally be flavored." ”

So, she gave a few examples of ingredients that can be used as seasonings, such as boiling meat broth with hawthorn to remove the fishy smell, and using the pulp stuffed with soy sauce and aged vinegar to ferment together to make the taste more mellow.

While chatting, Shopkeeper Liang picked up another piece of tea and savored it.

"This refreshment can be regarded as another new dish for the virtuous niece," the shopkeeper Liang said with a smile, "Although it may not be very profitable, I will definitely not let the virtuous niece lose a penny." ”

When Su Qingluan gave Fang Zi at the beginning, she didn't expect this tea to make money - after all, she just suggested adding tea powder to improve the sweet and greasy taste in the original practice, which is essentially someone else's practice, and it is completely her own "recipe", she doesn't feel very authentic.

However, Boss Liang was very kind and refreshing, and without saying a word, he calculated her part of the profit from this refreshment.

Su Qingluan knew that it was the other party's kindness, and hurriedly thanked him. But he was puzzled: "I see that Uncle Liang likes this tea very much, how can I conclude that 'it will not make a lot of profit'?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang took a sip of tea, almost lowered the mouth of the tea, and explained: "After all, this tea is a little bitter, and there are mostly sweet-loving guests on the market, and the taste of our wait is a minority." ”

Su Qingluan thought about it for a while and understood the reason: unlike the modern situation where there is no shortage of sugar at all, in this era, sugar is even a luxury that many people can't eat for a long time.

Therefore, in this era, except for very wealthy people, it is impossible for ordinary people to "get tired of eating sugar", just like it is impossible for ordinary people in modern times to eat "Michelin three stars" all day long.

It's too expensive to eat.

The opening of Hongfu Building in the county seat is destined to face most of the local or past business diners, who are basically ordinary people, not rich and wealthy.

In this case, it is destined to lack a customer base that is "unwilling to eat sugar".

Thinking about this joint, Su Qingluan nodded: "In business, in addition to doing your best, you must also obey the destiny of heaven." We just need to provide, whether it is a choice or not is up to the diners. ”

The two chatted for a few words, Su Qingluan raised his eyes to look at the sun outside, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Liang: "Virtuous niece, stay and bring you some fresh goods!" ”

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly went out and went downstairs with the sound of "knock knock" footsteps.

Su Qingluan slowly went down to the first floor, and let the guys who were busy going back and forth turn around and turn behind the front cabinet where Mr. Ledger was.

While discounting the abacus, Mr. Bookkeeper said with a smile: "Thanks to the blessing of Mrs. Su, the fish soup and the thousand silk rolls have been well received, and this month's income has increased a lot." ”

Su Qingluan is also very happy: "Thanks to the reputation of 'Hongfu Building' in this area, my craft can be displayed. ”

Although there are some elements of commercial boasting, there is also a part of the truth.

After all, "Hongfu Building" is the largest restaurant in the county and the longest existing restaurant, if the same food is sold elsewhere, there may not be so many customers.

Therefore, it is equivalent to Hongfulou providing Su Qingluan with "advertising space", and Su Qingluan providing "finished product technology", and the two are mutually beneficial.

While speaking, the shopkeeper Liang came out with a basket of editors-in-chief and turned around and walked upstairs.

Su Qingluan hurriedly greeted him and asked curiously, "Uncle Liang, what is this?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang sent the basket in his hand forward and brought it to Su Qingluan: "Virtuous niece, what do you think this is?" ”

When Su Qingluan heard this, he poked his head over curiously, looked into the bamboo basket, and saw a slender and lively fish inside.

If you look closely, the whole body of the fish is covered with black snakeskin-like patches, and at first glance, it seems that the whole fish is black.

Su Qingluan's eyes lit up: "This ...... Is this a blackfish? ”

"Hahahaha......" Liang shopkeeper nodded and smiled, "The virtuous niece really knows the goods, today a friend sent a few black fish with me, and specially ordered this fish to be fierce by nature, but the meat is delicate and less thorny, very delicious, I thought about dividing the virtuous niece, I will not let this delicacy be disappointed!" ”

Su Qingluan knew that this black fish had always been difficult to catch because it was very fierce in any era, and its preciousness could be seen. And now Shopkeeper Liang actually gave such a precious ingredient to himself without blinking an eye, which made her very grateful.

Shopkeeper Liang thanked her and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Previously, my niece helped me solve such a big trouble, what is a fish?" ”

Su Qingluan stopped refusing, took the fish and turned around to say goodbye.

To say that this fish is really fierce, from Hongfu Lou all the way to his own stall, and after half a day from the stall all the way home, this fish has been very cheerful, as if knowing that life is coming to an end, to be pretentious to the last moment.

Since the fish had been restless, Su Qingluan had a lot of effort to carry, and his mind was full of thinking about how to cook this unconscious fish.

After thinking about it, Su Qingluan had an idea.
