Chapter 587

"Second Sister, why are you tsk-tsk? Are these dishes not delicious? But Cheng Geer has eaten the dishes made by Mrs. Shi, and they are delicious, just a little less tasty than Second Sister's."

Sure enough, he is a good brother, and he didn't forget to flatter his second sister in the end.

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "It's not a matter of bad taste, it's that these dishes are not suitable for sale in restaurants in the town."

Brother Cheng: "Why?"

Gu Jinli: "People who come to restaurants in the town to eat are not wealthy people, and a meal will not exceed five taels. The recipe given by Mrs. Xia costs five taels a dish, and no one cooks it. It will cost money to eat. In the countryside, we have to cook some delicious but low-cost dishes. If we cook this kind of expensive food, others will say that our restaurant is sick."

Brother Cheng thought for a while, and said, "It means that the countryside sells cheap dishes, and the Fucheng sells the dishes from Mrs. Xia's family."

He said again: "Brother Cheng understands. When will the second sister cook? What new dishes will you have tonight?"

want to eat.

The second sister has been teaching my aunt, cousin Le, and the two cooks of my aunt's house to cook recently. Recently, their family has two new dishes to eat every day.

Gu Jinli looked at the sky and said, "Today we're making squirrel fish, osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, and osmanthus crystal cake."

Brother Cheng's eyes brightened when he heard that: "Three, make three today, you can eat a lot."

Gu Jinan changed into a rough linen coat for work, walked out of the room, looked at Brother Cheng and said, "You can only eat two yuan for each item, not too much."

Brother Cheng was in a hurry, and begged: "Brother, the second sister said that I am growing up and need to eat a lot."

Gu Jin'an: "Eat until full, then can't sleep and complain about stomach discomfort?"

This little guy loves to eat new things. Recently, he is like Chinese New Year. He can eat a lot of delicious food every day, and the two brothers live together. He feels uncomfortable eating, so he has to serve him and worry that he will Will not eat too much sick.

Mrs. Cui and the third grandma were making padded jackets. Hearing this, Mrs. Cui hurriedly said, "Brother Cheng, listen to your elder brother, you can't eat too much, it will hurt your stomach if you eat too much."

But my heart is very distressed, this child will like to eat, I guess he was injured by starvation since he was a child, and now he always wants to eat.

Cheng Geer muttered: "Second sister said you can eat~"

Gu Jinli smiled: "Of course you can eat it. If you are full and uncomfortable, you will learn the lesson."

Brother Cheng's eyes widened: "Second sister, you lied to me, you are a bad person."

Gu Jinli smiled and said, "I didn't say I was a good person, nor did I say that I didn't cheat my brother."

Gu Jinan shook his head, and said to Brother Cheng, "Now you know who treats you best."

He is different from Xiaoyu, he will take care of Brother Cheng and prevent him from making mistakes, but Xiaoyu will spoil Brother Cheng, let him make mistakes, say that he made mistakes, and he will correct himself after learning the lesson, quite cruelty.

Brother Cheng got angry, ignored them, and ran to Mrs. Cui: "Mother, elder brother and second sister bullied me."

Cui raised the hand holding the needle to prevent the needle from pricking him, looked down at him and said, "It's useless to find a mother, you have to listen to your elder brother."

In ancient times, the eldest son had a high status in the family, and Gu Jinan had ideas and was able to do things, better than Gu Dashan and Cui Shi, so he was always the one who taught Brother Cheng. Gu Dashan and Cui Shi were not the same How to manage.

Brother Cheng groaned, seeing that Mrs. Cui would not help him, he gave up.

"Xiaoyu, here we come." Qi Kangle brought two cooks to Gu's house and asked, "What are you doing today?"

Gu Jinli told about the dishes he was going to cook.

"Squirrel fish? Crystal cake? Little fish, you can make so many things." Qi Kangle was convinced by Gu Jinli, how could she make so many fresh and delicious things?

Gu Jinli said that as long as you want to eat, you can do anything.

She brought a pair of sleeves, put them on, and said to Gu Jincheng, "Brother Cheng, bring the water chestnut powder and make crystal cakes."

"Here we come." Brother Cheng immediately opened the cabinet in the main room, and took out a clay pot, which contained water chestnut powder.

Water chestnuts are horseshoes. This thing is an essential ingredient for making crystal cakes, and because it is not a staple food, it does not cost much land to grow it, and the price is cheap.

Gu Jinli bought thousands of catties, and after eating a few fresh ones, he ground all the others and made them into powder, which can now be used to make pastries.

Osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root are time-consuming. Gu Jinli taught them to do this first. Cut off one end of the lotus root vegetable, then fill it with soaked glutinous rice, seal the head of the lotus root vegetable with a bamboo stick, put it in the pot, add water and sugar, and add Dried sweet-scented osmanthus that has been soaked on the top, boiled together.

Qi Kangle said: "This is glutinous rice and sugar, the cost is very high."

Gu Jinli said: "It's not that high, but it's a bit higher than the cost of squirrel fish and crystal cake."

Glutinous rice and sugar are expensive, but lotus root vegetables are very cheap. In this dish, lotus root vegetables are used the most, so combined, it is not that expensive.

"One section of lotus root vegetables can fill a plate, and a plate is fifty yuan, which is still profitable." Gu Jinli has already written down the cost of these dishes, and handed them to Qi Kangle: "Two dishes, one pastry, sweet-scented osmanthus The glutinous rice lotus earns less, but the other two earn twice as much. Opening a restaurant depends on earning less from one and earning more from the other. In summary, as long as the profit is good."

Gu Jinli kept moving his hands. After teaching them how to make osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, he taught them how to make squirrel fish and osmanthus crystal cake.

"Little Boss, this is a squirrel fish. Look at this flower-like fish body, it really looks like a squirrel's tail."

"And this crystal cake, it's really crystal clear, and you can see the osmanthus flowers soaking inside."

The two cooks were amazed by the squirrel fish and the crystal cake, and said a lot of good things. When they put down their chopsticks, they didn't dare to pick up the crystal cake, for fear of breaking such a beautiful thing.

Gu Jinli ate it directly with his hands, and handed a piece to Brother Cheng. Seeing that the little guy ate with glistening eyes, he asked him, "Is it delicious?"

"Yeah, it's delicious. Second sister's cooking is the best." Brother Cheng brought a wooden bowl, and took five pieces of crystal cake from the plate: "Take it to your mother and the others to eat."

Brother Cheng took the wooden bowl, and stomped to bring the crystal cake to Cui and the others.

Cui Shi, Third Mistress, Gu Jinxiu, Sister Li and Zhu Chahua all felt good after eating.

The next day, Gu Jinli made a three-cup duck and sauce-flavored chicken. These two dishes tasted very good, and both of them used soy sauce.

Gu Jinli has been making several jars of soy sauce since May. When the weather is hot, he has to stir the sauce jars every day. After working hard for half a year, he can finally eat it now.

But before eating, soy sauce should be boiled. The boiled soy sauce is easier to store and more delicious.

She, Cui Shi, Gu Jinxiu, Third Mistress, Sister Li, and Zhu Camellia have boiled the soy sauce for a long time, and finally boiled the soy sauce into a bright maroon color.

Zhu Chahua's family worked as maidservants in a rich family, and when they saw these soy sauces, they said curiously, "Little master, why is this soy sauce similar to Xianxian sauce, and the taste is also very similar."

She has tasted a little.

Gu Jinli said: "Is it like it? But it's different from the fresh sauce."

The cost of soy sauce is much cheaper than 醢xian sauce. It is just salt and soybeans. Unlike 醢xian sauce, it is made from marinated meat.
