Chapter 101 Twenty taels of silver per dish
The restaurant shopkeeper's heart turned around a thousand times, and he planned an idea in a short time. He and Shen Zi'an also met often. He knew that Shen Zi'an was not a talkative person. If his daughter-in-law didn't cook well, there was nothing special about it. He thought he would definitely say it. If he The person at the table even said this to the two children. He believed it eight points and wanted to let Su Zhi do it for him on the spot. Isn't that sure?
"Little lady, the dumplings I told you about, as well as the dishes you mentioned, want to have a try. If it's really as delicious as everyone said, today's meal will be free, how about it?"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an. He thought that one of the two married people had promised, and it was done. Of course, what he thought in his heart is that it is not easy for rural people to come to the restaurant for a meal. Now when they hear that cooking a meal, they can be exempted from the money for the meal. How can they not be happy?
Su Zhi was amused in her heart. Thinking that the shopkeeper was really shrewd, did she want to learn her craftsmanship with a meal? The dumplings are delicious, but you can learn them by looking at them. Those dishes are also the same. If she doesn't plan to use this to make money, she will cook them at home, and people who have intentions will learn it after eating it several times. After a long time, this recipe is really worthless. You can learn it by finding anyone in this restaurant.
But Su Zhi now thinks that if she has money, she can't make it for nothing. It's good to make some money with a few prescriptions that will be learned at any time, so she will naturally not follow the shopkeeper's idea.
Shen Zi'an said, "Daughter-in-law, you were shocked today. You came here to eat, not to cook. We still paid for this table of food. Manager, please go to work!"
The shopkeeper heard that it was not what he thought. Looking at Shen Zi'an carefully, I found that Shen Zi'an was different from before. Although he was still wearing a cloth coat, his spirit was completely different, thinking that he had hit the tiger not long ago. Later, I heard that a big house was built. This is really different. It seems that I don't care about the cost of this meal.
Manager Zhang immediately said, "Think about it again. I really want to know what those dumplings are? Brother Zi'an, we have known each other for a long time. Don't you give me this face?
Li Shi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang. The food cooked by my sister-in-law is really delicious. You don't have as many tricks here. Let's not to mention that she can serve a table of dishes here. You just don't have to pay for meals. It's too low. Just saying that your words also make people feel unsteady. If you eat it, you will be exempted from the meal. If you say it's not delicious, my sister-in-law is busy. After letting you learn the craft, don't you have to pay for the meal in the end?
Manager Zhang's knowledgeable old face almost turned red. Just now, he really thought that if Su Zhi didn't make it to his liking, he really couldn't give away the money for this meal. This restaurant is not run by his family. He can't get good things to the owner, and he has no reason to give people free money for meals.
"Brother Li, you think badly. How could I do that?"
Su Zhijue's Li Shi is meticulous and a material for doing business. It seems that if he cooperates with him in business in the future, it will definitely not be bad.
"The shopkeeper, when we finish this meal, let's find a quiet place to talk about it, okay?"
"Well, then you can eat it."
The shopkeeper also knew that it was impossible to know what the dumplings were easily. He wanted to take his time, so he went back to the counter first.
Sister-in-law Li didn't dare to interrupt just now. At this time, they all talked to Su Zhi happily, so that Su Zhi could not teach this to the restaurant for nothing. Su Zhi nodded with a smile. Then a table of people began to eat happily again.
There are eight meals on one table, and eight people are full.
Because this meal was eaten early, it was time to go back to the village.
Liu Siniang said goodbye in embarrassment. If she doesn't go back when the time comes, I'm afraid she will be scolded again. She will definitely be scolded today. Sister-in-law Li also said goodbye. They also have to go back to cook for the men at home, and it is not good for Su Zhi to talk about dumplings and vegetables with the shopkeeper later.
Li Shi didn't leave. He stayed outside to help watch the ox cart.
The shopkeeper asked Su Zhi and Shen Zi'an to come to the back hall, and Su Zhi made her own suggestion.
"Zhang, Mr. Zhang, you are in the restaurant business, and you should know that this recipe is also a craft, which can make money. You want to know how I make dumplings, and you can't learn this for nothing.
As soon as Mr. Zhang heard that the little lady was going to sell prescriptions, he saw her craftsmanship when he wanted to spend money for a meal, which really made her think low.
"How much money does the little lady plan to pay for a prescription?"
"I don't want much either. The way to make dumplings is five taels of silver. The price is really not high. Your restaurant will come back after a few days of business. As for that dish, I can also teach you two dishes, but the price of this dish will be higher, 20 taels of silver for one dish. What do you think? If we think it's worth it, then we'll make a deal, or we'll leave now. Seriously, if we go to other restaurants, we can also sell it at this price.
Su Zhi didn't want much. She has sent dumplings to several families in Riverside Village. It's not a secret. I don't know when it will spread. And the shopkeeper just heard that two children said that they had eaten dumplings. If they went to inquire, they could find out how to do it. Now she doesn't let it go while he thinks that dumplings are not like some dishes, and he can make some money.
As for that dish, Su Zhi thought of two better dishes. If it is made, it will definitely become the signature dish of the restaurant. Of course, it will be more expensive.
Twenty taels of silver may be nothing to some rich people, but for the countrymen who rely on heaven and land to eat, it is the harvest of a family in the harvest year.
When the shopkeeper Zhang listened to it, he looked at Su Zhi's calm appearance and thought that maybe it was really a great dish. If he missed it, it would be bad for other restaurants to learn it. He thought for a moment and said, "Please ask the little lady to do it first. If it's really something we haven't seen before, The little lady doesn't have to worry about me cheating. If it's really good, we still want to buy other prescriptions for the little lady in the future. What's more, the Zi'an brothers can kill the tiger. We dare not deny it.
Su Zhi smiled and said, "Where is the kitchen? Please lead the way!"
The two sides agreed that Su Zhi, Shen Zi'an and the shopkeeper came to the kitchen.
There are two chefs. I heard from the shopkeeper that someone would cook dishes that they couldn't cook, and they were also interested. This chef likes to see new dishes. However, seeing that Su Zhi was a little woman, they were a little unsure.
Because it was time to eat, I called a master to look at it first, and the other discussed to see another dish later.
Su Zhi plans to make a piece of Dongpo meat first.
Su Zhi asked people to prepare the seasoning for cooking. At this time, she thought of the big ingredients. She really needed it for cooking. If she had Sichuan pepper, why didn't anyone find the big ingredients? However, it is also a good thing to think that she can make a lot of money by planting a season of material next year. She smiled and threw aside the regret of not having a big material.
Dongpo meat is actually very easy to make, but people obviously can't do it at this time. It's normal to think about it. It is said that the Dongpo meat was first made by Su Dongpo, and there was no such dish before him. No one has been able to do it for so many years, and it is normal for people not to do it at this time. Su Zhi thought while directing the chef to do it. The master was a little unhappy, but when he thought that this was learning to cook from Su Zhi, he began to live according to Su Zhi's instructions.
Throw a piece of fat and thin pork belly into cold water, boil it and blanch it for a while, take it out and cut it into square pieces, put green onion and ginger under the casserole, and put the skin of the pork belly down. It would be better if there were green onions and ingredients. Unfortunately, I didn't have it, Then add soy sauce, yellow rice wine, sugar, and water. Then boil it over low heat and then cook for half an hour, turn the meat over, pour some wine, and simmer for two quarters of an hour.
You can eat it at this time, but you can steam it for another two quarters of an hour.
At that time, the steamed Dongpo meat will have a crystal feeling. It smells fragrant and doesn't taste greasy at all.
While making Dongpo meat, Su Zhi made her own dumplings. Of course, she only made more than ten or twenty dumplings. It was not tiring. While doing it, she commanded another master who had just changed to clean up the fish. She had to command the other party to make boiled fish.
Not only the cook, but also the shopkeeper looked at so many peppers and felt dizzy. Who could eat so many peppers?
But when the boiled fish was ready, everyone was fascinated by the fragrant and spicy taste.
After the two dishes were cooked, the guests also ate them, and the two masters were idle. It was their time to eat. They all served a bowl of rice around the two dishes and the dumplings waiting for the shopkeeper to taste it first.
After eating a mouthful of Dongpo meat, Zhang's eyes lit up. After eating a mouthful of boiled fish, he felt that the pores of his whole body were up. He hurriedly ate another dumpling, which made him feel more comfortable.
Manager Zhang felt that this dish was really delicious, and the dumplings were also delicious. He didn't want to give it to others.
The people in the kitchen had been waiting for dinner for a long time. As soon as the shopkeeper went out, they immediately began to grab the two dishes around them. After a while, they grabbed all the dishes, and the dumplings were left behind.
"The little lady is good at cooking. I admire her." Manager Zhang took out forty-five taels of silver without hesitation. "Please ask the little lady to tell me how to make this dish. I'll write it down and show it to my owner then."
Su Zhi asked Shen Zi'an to collect the money, and then asked the shopkeeper to write the prescription.
The shopkeeper Zhang put away the prescription and said with a smile, "The little lady's craftsmanship is so good that there must be other good dishes. If there are more, please sell them to our restaurant at that time. The price is negotiable."
Su Zhi said, "I still know some dishes, but this season is not right. Let's talk about it later. There is another dish, but it needs chestnuts to make. It just so happens that I have some chestnuts at home. Let's bring them together next time. Let's talk about it then.
The shopkeeper quickly said good when he heard it.
When Li Shi saw that Manager Zhang personally sent Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi out, he knew that the business had been completed.
The three of them just took the ox cart and began to go back to the village, and the shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly said to the clerk, and then went to find the owner. ( To be continued) RQ
