After a while, Zhou Dawa brought out two plates, one plate was filled with mapo tofu, and the other plate was filled with Dongpo tofu.
"Yo, it's so fragrant. ”
"yes, it looks pretty good, but I don't know if it's good or not. ”
"What is that white thing, it can't be the tofu that the boy said. After seeing the exquisite dishes and smelling the aroma of the dishes, the people around me felt a little less contemptuous.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a dish made with tofu in the lower part of the country, the one on the east side is called Dongpo tofu, and the one on the west side is called mapo tofu, so please try it. Yan Nantian made a gesture of please and said.
"We've got a little shopkeeper to talk to, everyone, please. Zhou Dawa straightened her chest, raised her head, and said confidently.
At the beginning, Zhou Dawa was also skeptical that Yan Nantian could make delicious food, but since eating the mapo tofu made by Yan Nantian, she was immediately attracted by this delicacy, and she was also convinced by Yan Nantian.
"These two dishes smell quite good, let me try them. An old woman walked to the table as she spoke, picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of Dongpo tofu, put it in her mouth and chewed it.
Seeing the old woman eating the first dish, everyone looked at her curiously, only to see that after the old woman ate a piece of Dongpo tofu, her face showed a surprised look, and said: "This dish is really fragrant, chewing is the same as eating meat, and the cooking skills of the young shopkeeper are really good." ”
"I'll taste it too. ”
A man stepped forward and ate a piece of mapo tofu, with a touch of aftertaste on his face, and said, "This mapo tofu is really tender, crispy, soft, and melts in the mouth, it is really a rare delicacy." ”
"A hairy child who hasn't grown up, what is delicious about the dishes he makes, I think you two have never seen the world. The bald head who loves to coax said unconvinced again.
Yan Nantian's eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at the bald head, and said, "This bald brother, whether the food I cook is delicious or not, you can taste it yourself." ”
"Taste it, if it's really not delicious, I'll spit on you directly, sir. The bald head shouted while picking up a pair of chopsticks and picking up a piece of mapo tofu as if in his mouth, and at the moment when the mapo tofu was entered, the bald head was stunned.
"I said bald brother, is this dish delicious? ”
"yes, you have something to say. Seeing the bald head stunned, the surrounding people urged.
The bald head ignored everyone, the expression on his face was still tense, he had indeed eaten a lot of food, but he had never eaten this kind of ingredient, showing an incredible look, and muttered:
"Well, this hairy kid is not very old, but the dishes he makes are very delicious, and I can't eat them, what ingredients are used in these two dishes?"
The bald head spoke quite pertinently, which made Yan Nantian secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the bald head's tone was condescending before, and he thought that the other party was deliberately finding fault, but now it seems that it should be due to his personality.
Seeing the bald head who has been stirring up trouble, they all think that these two dishes are delicious, and everyone gradually believes it, and more people come forward to taste these two dishes of Yipinju.
"Less shopkeeper, I offended a lot just now, please forgive me. The bald head arched his hand and said.
"You're welcome. Yan Nantian bowed his hand and said in return.
"Although your two dishes are delicious, I don't know what the ingredients are, maybe this is the tofu you said. The bald head said.
"Yes, the ingredient called tofu in this is my new zào, and it's normal that you haven't eaten it. Yan Nantian said.
"Oh, that's kind of interesting. The bald head muttered to himself, glanced at Yan Nantian carefully, and then turned around and walked out of the crowd and walked towards the other side of the street.
Although the bald head turned around and left, the Yipinju restaurant became more and more lively, attracting more pedestrians to taste the dishes, and the praise was endless.
"These two dishes are really delicious, no wonder the bald head is soft. ”
"I didn't expect that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy could make such a delicacy, which is really incredible. ”
"Yes, these two dishes have their own characteristics, and they are no worse than the Eight Treasures Immortal Zhen of Babao Zhai. ”
"I heard that this product was as famous as Babaozhai in the early years, but it gradually fell down over the years, and it was really a skinny camel bigger than a horse. ”
In less than a while, the two tasting dishes were finished, some of whom were still unsatisfied, and many more were not satisfied, shouting:
"Less shopkeeper, bring out another plate of dishes, let's try it." ”
"Yes, I still want to eat that mapo tofu, it's spicy, crispy and soft. ”
Hearing everyone's shouts, Yan Nantian's mouth hooked up a smile, and said secretly: "If you are really full, who will come to my restaurant to eat." ”
Seeing Yan Nantian's eyes at him, Zhou Dacheng nodded in understanding, and said: "Everyone, that's all for today's tasting, and now it's noon. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside. Zhou Dawa also hurriedly greeted.
"Let's go, go into Yipinju and eat tofu. ”
"Yes, I ordered a plate of Dongpo tofu, which tastes like meat. ”
"Let's go, if you go in late, maybe you won't have a seat. ”
Many onlookers, after tasting the two dishes, many people walked into Yipinju in pairs, shouting that they would continue to eat tofu.
Tofu is not only delicious, but more importantly, everyone has never eaten it, and the novel food can always attract customers, and after a while, Yipinju Restaurant will be full.
The surrounding restaurants are a little deserted, and many of the shopkeepers and guys of the restaurants are standing at the door and looking, wanting to spy on the situation of Yipinju.
Not far from Yipinju, there is a more luxurious restaurant, and the plaque of the restaurant reads three big characters 'Babao Zhai', which is the famous restaurant in the mouth of everyone.
Next to the window of the Babao Zhai private room, there were two people, an old man and a young man, who could just see the Yipinju opposite, only to see the old man snort and said:
"Hmph, the old man Yan of Yipinju still doesn't give up. ”
This old man's name is Zhou Bajing, who is the shopkeeper of Babaozhai, with long tiger eyes and beard and extraordinary bearing; The young man next to him was his son Zhou Wancai.
"Dad, did you say those two dishes are really that delicious? Why did a group of people go to Yipinju to eat? Zhou Wancai said.
"Nonsense, I haven't eaten again, you ask me, who am I going to ask?"
Zhou Bajing reprimanded, and said with a cold face: "You go find a face, go to Yipinju to pack two dishes, and bring them over for me to taste to see if it's really delicious." ”
"Dad, you wait, I'll go. Zhou Wancai answered, and then ran to the Babaozhai Restaurant to order.
Yipinju's publicity is very well done, not only attracting a lot of guests, but also attracting the attention of many restaurants, and many people are like Zhou Bajing, sending people to Yipinju to pack dishes, mostly with the purpose of stealing teachers.
Among the many restaurants in Wujiang Town, Babao Zhai is also unique, and the most famous dish of Babao Zhai is 'Babao Xianzhen', and it is with this dish that Babao Zhai can stand.
Therefore, Zhou Bajing knows very well that the publicity of the restaurant is important, but the most important thing is the taste of the dishes, and only delicious dishes can retain guests.
After a while, Zhou Wancai walked into the private room on the second floor with a food box and took out two dishes from it, which were mapo tofu and Dongpo tofu from Yipinju.
"Dad, this is Yipinju's new dish, you can try it. Zhou Wancai said.
"Hmm. Zhou Bajing responded, then picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a bite of mapo tofu, and showed a dignified look on his face.
"Dad, what do you think of the taste?" Zhou Wancai asked, picking up a pair of chopsticks and tasting the two dishes directly.
Zhou Bajing didn't seem to hear his son's words, and took another bite of Dongpo tofu, the expression on his face was even more solemn, and his eyebrows were twisted, as if he was thinking about something.
"Dad, these two dishes taste pretty good, but I didn't eat them, what kind of ingredients are they?" Zhou Wancai muttered in a low voice after tasting them.
Zhou Bajing still didn't pay attention to his son, but took the chopsticks in his hand and ate two dishes in a big gulp.
"Dad, what's wrong with you, although these two dishes are good, they may not be as good as our Zhou family's 'Eight Treasures Immortal'. Zhou Wancai was surprised.
"What do you know!" Zhou Bajing scolded, then stopped eating and said: "The point of these two dishes is not how delicious they are, but what ingredients are used in these two dishes?"
"Dad, what ingredients did you use to eat these two dishes?" Zhou Wancai asked.
"Ahem......" Hearing his son's words, Zhou Bajing coughed lightly, with a hint of ridicule on his face, and said, "Not yet." ”
Seeing that his father didn't eat it, and the ingredients of these two dishes, Zhou Wancai couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Zhou Bajing himself is also a famous chef, he has been busy in the kitchen all his life, he knows a lot about various ingredients, but he has never tasted such ingredients, and there is a faint conjecture in his heart, saying:
"This ingredient is likely to be developed by Yipinju alone, and this ingredient is very suitable for cooking, and there are many dishes that can be made, and more importantly, this ingredient is only available in Yipinju, and it is difficult for Yipinju's business not to be prosperous. ”
"Dad, if Yipinju's business is booming, won't it rob our guests. Zhou Wancai said a little nervously.
"What are you afraid of, as long as we also master the method of making zuò this ingredient, won't we be able to make this kind of delicacy?" Zhou Bajing said with a smile.
"Dad, this ingredient is exclusive to Yipinju, and people are willing to tell us how to make zuò?" Zhou Wancai smiled bitterly.
"Nonsense, the people of Yipinju refuse to say it, won't you find a way to get it? A cold color flashed in Zhou Bajing's eyes and said.
