Those things about the landlady

Chapter 8
The reason why Shu Ran can occupy a place in the catering industry is not only her strong management ability, but more importantly, her excellent cooking skills.

Her grandfather was a well-known chef at home and abroad, and Shu Ran was taught by him. She is born with a keen tongue and is a good seed for a cook.

She has a lot of research on food, but she is not very picky, and has always been in awe of food.

Therefore, although he felt that the cooks in the mansion were not skilled enough and could only bake and cook dishes, he did not demand much.

But when she saw the dishes that Xiao Erduan brought to the private room, Shu Ran's face couldn't hold back. To put it bluntly, these things are not as good as those made by the cook in her house, at least the cook It looks much better.

She suddenly lost the desire to taste it. Looking at the fish, it was boiled pale and pale, without even a decent side dish, and she barely picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth. The fishy smell was amazing.

Shu Ran vomited directly, otherwise she was worried that she would have more than one morning sickness.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper He immediately stepped forward, and said anxiously, "Ma'am, but what's wrong with this fish soup? This fish is from our Yilan River. It was fresh when the fishermen brought it in the morning."

Shu Ran slowed down for a moment, wiped the corners of her mouth clean, took a sip of water from the girl's hand to rinse her mouth, and opened her mouth only after the fishy smell subsided.

"Uncle He, it's not that the fish is not fresh, it's that the fishy smell is too strong. I'm a healthy person, so it's inevitable that I'll react. I'll try the other dishes."

She had a bold guess in her heart, and in order to confirm her guess, Shu Ran tried all the other dishes.

Normal people want to eat food that is full of color, fragrance, and taste, but today's table dishes are not good at all.

This has nothing to do with the ingredients. The problem lies in the cooking method. Perhaps there are only two ways of processing food here: roasting and boiling.

Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's not too bad. Thinking about the good, at least, she has more room for development.

"Uncle He, take me to the kitchen first, and let you taste my cooking in a while."

Shopkeeper He was full of surprise, "When will my wife start cooking? Aren't you the most impatient about this?"

Shu Ran's movements froze, she was careless, a little afraid to look at Shopkeeper He's face, and pretended to be calm to answer:

"Uncle He underestimates people. I have already given birth to two children, and now I am pregnant with a third one. How can it be the same as before?"

Shopkeeper He nodded knowingly, and said with some relief: "If the old man is still here, he will be very happy to know that his wife is so mature and sensible now."

Shu Ran nodded, "It's a pity that Dad left too early, that's all, let's go to the kitchen first, don't waste time."

Shu Ran didn't want to reminisce about the old days, after all, she was just a counterfeit, except for her skin, she really couldn't stand scrutiny.

Shopkeeper He repeatedly agreed, and bowed to lead Shu Ran to the kitchen.

It was already time for dinner, and many guests who were tired from traveling came to eat. Yamo Studio can still maintain it now, probably due to the advantage of its location.

Along the way, Shu Ran carefully looked at it. Although there were many problems in this restaurant, it was not without merits. At least Shu Ran was very satisfied with the hygiene.

When we arrived at the kitchen, it was bustling with activity. Seeing Shopkeeper He bring Shu Ran in, everyone stopped what they were doing.

Shopkeeper He took the lead and said: "This is our boss's wife, she came to the kitchen to have a look."

When everyone heard the words, they hurriedly saluted and greeted. Shu Ran didn't care about these things, and waved her hands, "The guests outside are urging too much, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me, shopkeeper He can just walk with me."

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and the kitchen returned to its previous busyness.

Shu Ran didn't need shopkeeper He to do anything, she walked around and saw a lot of vegetables, even peppers, and she felt more confident.

Seeing her looking at the chili, Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "Madam, this chili is worthless, and few people like it."

Shu Ran smiled and said, "You guys are using the wrong way of cooking, this is a good thing."

The basic seasonings were also available, and her heart suddenly felt at ease. Turning her head, she saw that the cook was adding seasoning to a plate of boiled vegetables. The shapeless vegetables really made her a little helpless.

She didn't say much, looked at the fish head on the chopping board, and saw that the woman washing vegetables was about to throw it away, so she hurriedly stopped her.

"Don't lose this fish head, it's also edible."

The woman was timid, and she was shocked and frightened when she heard the words, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Shopkeeper He made a relief and said, "Put down the fish head and go to work on other things first."

The woman gratefully agreed, put down the fish head, and ran away quickly.

Shu Ran was very helpless, "Uncle He, is it possible that I look too scary?"

Shopkeeper He said with a smile: "How is it possible, my wife looks so good, what should I do with this fish head?"

While rolling up her sleeves, Shu Ran said confidently, "Just watch, I'll show you what real cooking is."

Although shopkeeper He knew Shu Ran, his impression was only before she got married. Now seeing her showing off her talents, it was like looking at her own junior, and it was only funny.

"Being able to eat the dishes cooked by your wife is a blessing that this old slave has cultivated in his previous life. Otherwise, find a woman to help you."

Shu Ran didn't refuse, and directly ordered: "Give me an empty stove, and then arrange a fire girl. I will do the rest by myself. If I need help, I will call someone."

Shopkeeper He didn't force it, "Then madam, you should be busy first, I'll go to the lobby to greet guests, some regular customers can't be offended."

Shu Ran also knew the difficulty of doing catering, so she didn't keep him, since shopkeeper He couldn't help anyway.

Shu Ran took a closer look at the head of the bighead carp, and then leaned closer to smell it. It was an excellent ingredient. The biggest advantage of ancient times was probably that the environment was not polluted, and the quality of the ingredients was excellent.

The girl from Yao Mansion who came with her stood aside anxiously, "Ma'am, if there is anything else, you can ask your servant to do it."

Shu Ran handed the fish head to her, "Wash the fish head and put it on the chopping board."

The girl smiled and agreed, took the fish head and went to wash it, while Shu Ran turned around and picked out some peppers, red and green.

There were still a few cilantro lying in the corner of the kitchen, Shu Ran was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought them over.

The girl's movements were extremely fast, and she cleaned the fish head in a short time.

Shu Ran took a kitchen knife and cut open the fish's lip, then added salt, cooking wine, green onion and ginger water to marinate.

During the pickling process, she chopped the washed peppers. Although she hadn't been in the kitchen for a while, her knife skills were not unfamiliar.

After waiting for a while, she put the marinated fish head on the plate, but unfortunately there is no soy sauce for steaming fish here, so she will consider making it herself later.

Considering the delicious ingredients, even if there is no such thing, it is estimated that the problem is not big.

Heat the oil in the pot, add the black bean chili, stir-fry until fragrant, pour it on the fish head.

Seeing the rich aroma from her frying, the cooks in the kitchen stretched their heads to look around from time to time, but because of Shu Ran's identity, they didn't dare to go closer.

I saw her put the prepared ingredients into the pot to steam, and told the girl who made the fire to control the heat.

After steaming for about a quarter of an hour, Shu Ran sprinkled the chopped coriander on top, and then dripped sesame oil.

Looking at this bright red dish is festive, and shopkeeper He was amazed when he came in and saw it.

"Ma'am, this fish head that you don't eat on weekdays, it looks very appetizing after you handle it like this. It smells delicious and looks joyful."

Shopkeeper He was really surprised, Shu Ran said with a smile: "Uncle He can have a taste first."

Shopkeeper He couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. The taste was strong, the meat was tender, spicy and palatable.

"It's unbelievable that this fish head is so delicious. In the past, we were really reckless. Come and taste it, and see your wife's cooking skills."

Shopkeeper He couldn't wait to let the cooks come to taste the taste. Shu Ran watched from the side. She knew that she opened the door to a new world for everyone today. Although she may not be able to give her a surprise in return, there will definitely be a different harvest. .

Shu Ran looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "This dish is named Hongyun Dangtou."
