Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and then figured it out: "I'm afraid it's not Chef Xu who has developed some innovative dishes, right?" ”

Shopkeeper Liang immediately nodded busily: "I'm not busy now, let him make that signature dish later, it's delicious, recently a lot of diners have come over just to eat that, and the other dishes are less table." ”

Su Qingluan nodded.

Even if a restaurant like Hung Fook Lou can maintain its craftsmanship and is not up to standard, it still has to launch some innovative dishes on a regular basis.

After all, people always "like the new and hate the old", no matter how good the signature dish is, after a long time, not to mention whether everyone's taste is crooked, just "being stolen" is enough for every family to have a headache.

What's more, there are no "chain franchise fast food restaurants" in this era, and most of the restaurants with a little scale are fighting for the master's craftsmanship, so if you can go to the master to steal one or two tricks, you can start your own stove.

Su Qingluan was a little curious at this moment.

The food that can stand the test of most people definitely has its own uniqueness. This era is not like the modern information explosion, and you can rely on Internet celebrities to "bring goods" to make a certain dish a hot and popular food, which must be passed on by word of mouth.

In this way, the "word-of-mouth" created by taste is a crucial thing.

Following the shopkeeper Liang, who was humming a little tune, Su Qingqing came to the back kitchen and asked, "It hasn't officially opened yet, which little brother can buy me a live mandarin fish, otherwise grass carp or black fish will do." At least two or three catties of fish, not too small, otherwise the shape is not good-looking, and the family is angry. ”

All three types of fish are freshwater fish with delicious flesh, and either one is suitable for squirrel fish.

As soon as Su Qingluan said this, Shopkeeper Liang's eyes lit up: "Qingluan is also going to make a big dish today?" "Compared with crucian carp and carp, two common freshwater fish on the market, these three fish are relatively expensive and very delicious.

What's more, Su Qingluan also emphasized "live", indicating that it is necessary to maintain the freshness of the fish.

Naturally, Hongfu Lou also has fish-related dishes, but under normal circumstances, the requirements are not particularly harsh in terms of freshness or type of fish.

Unless it is those very picky gourmets - of course, if you want to eat a specific species of live fish, in this era when the fishing industry and transportation industry are not developed, or in Lefeng Town, a small town where aquatic products are not particularly developed, you must pay more money than usual.

Therefore, Su Qingluan's dish is not cheap in terms of materials.

"Oh, by the way, except for a live fish, it's the season when peaches are on the market, so I'll buy another catty or two of peaches." Su Qingluan added.

The so-called "peach" is another name for "cherry". Su Qingluan found that peaches are different from the "luxury" that was fried at sky-high prices in the previous life, and it is still quite common in this era.

Of course, fruits are not essential ingredients like vegetables and grains, and they will definitely be more expensive than radishes and green onions, but they are not "special ingredients" that can only be enjoyed by high-ranking officials and nobles.

All in all, it is a little more expensive than common vegetables, but if ordinary people want to satisfy their cravings occasionally, they can afford it.

As soon as Su Qingluan gave such an order, Shopkeeper Liang immediately greeted Xiao Er, who was running in the front hall before: "Did you understand what Qingluan said?" ”

The young man was really clever, and bowed down with a smile and asked Su Qingluan: "Listen to the little lady, this fish can't be too small, so why don't you compare the painting according to the length?" ”

Su Qingluan thought in his mind: "Remove the tip of the fish's tail, let's take half a meter." ”

"Well, look at it!" The young man habitually responded, turned around and went out.

Su Qingluan fixed the size of the fish, turned around and remembered a very important thing: Does Hongfu Lou have that kind of oval big plate?

However, after all, Hongfu Lou is one of the best restaurants in these ten miles and eight towns, and naturally there are also those curious diners who do not talk about the taste, but choose the big fish to eat, and pay attention to a "visual shock". So there are really a lot of big plates in this Hongfu Building.

It's long and round, Su Qingluan can do whatever he wants.

Su Qingluan and Shopkeeper Liang were talking and laughing, and the two walked through the small courtyard in the middle and came to the back kitchen.

The stove in the back kitchen is still in the stage of just igniting, and a lot of the stock needs to be boiled in advance, so the pots and pans on several stoves have begun to "gurgle" and steam.

Xu Yuanwei held his waist in one hand and a long-handled soup spoon in the other, commanding the little chefs who helped the kitchen to be busy in an orderly manner, not paying attention to the fact that someone came in at the door again.

The little chef who passed by the door bowed down to say hello to Shopkeeper Liang, and then hurried over to do his work, Xu Yuanwei noticed the two people standing at the door.

"Yo, what a rare guest, expensive and cheap, really fluffy." Chef Xu tapped the long handle of the soup spoon in the palm of his other hand, his face full of trembling.

Su Qingluan: Did she hear the words "......" just now? Or did she strayed into the loop?

looked meaningfully at the shopkeeper Liang next to him, who was also a little stunned, the two of them didn't hold back at the same time, and smiled back and forth, leaving Xu Yuanwei who was out of the situation looked confused.

Su Qingluan and Shopkeeper Liang finally laughed enough, so they rubbed their cheeks and covered their stomachs to explain to Xu Yuanwei that he happened to stage a "reappearance yesterday" scene, which made Xu Yuanwei laugh too.

Shopkeeper Liang also laughed enough, and began to get down to business: "Master Xu, which idle little master did you ask to help find those plates of big fish before?" Qingluan said that it would be served on a plate later. ”

Those plates are often nearly one meter in diameter and weigh several catties, and they are generally placed under the commonly used dishes, chopsticks, dishes, and bowls. Otherwise, if you bump it, it will be a little uproar.

Xu Yuanwei raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? It seems that Miss Su is going to make a big dish to show off her skills! ”

Su Qingluan knew that Xu Yuanwei was just a little competitive, and he probably saw that this dish was a heavyweight dish, so he was competitive, so he asked with a smile: "I don't dare to say 'show my skills', but I heard that Chef Xu has a lot of experience in the development of new dishes recently, and it is very well received by many diners." ”

The shopkeeper Liang watched the excitement on the side, and it was not a big deal: "Master Xu's craftsmanship is naturally not a problem, but Qingluan can promise me that her dish can be used to suppress the table and become the golden sign of our restaurant!" ”

Hearing this, Su Qingluan suddenly turned his head to stare at the shopkeeper Liang: Uncle Liang! Why are you still here to raise seedlings?

She's not she didn't say she's wronged!

However, Xu Yuanwei obviously didn't hear the cry in Su Qingluan's heart, because his fighting spirit was completely burned by the words of the shopkeeper Liang.
