Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 377 Two New Deals

"That is." Du Jinning said proudly.

She lived alone for so many years in her previous life, and she was a foodie herself, so she naturally cultivated a good cooking skill.It's just that in ancient times, she was raised as a boy, and her mother and three older sisters didn't even let her clean up the dishes at home, and she was busy making money all day long, so she didn't touch the spatula.

After thinking about it, she immediately called Mrs. Shen and said: "You kill the fish, remove the internal organs and the black film inside, if it is a carp, take out the fishing line, and then soak it in cold salt water for half an hour. , the salt water soaks into the blood through the two gills, so that the earthy smell can be removed. After this treatment, the fish is braised in soy sauce, or sweet and sour fish..."

She recounted the recipes of these two dishes.

As soon as Aunt Shen heard what she said earlier, she knew that Du Jinning was an old hand at handling fish. She was surprised, but she was not easy to ask. Hearing Du Jinning's instructions, she hurried to try cooking.

However, it takes a long time to process this fish, so it can only be eaten at night.

In the afternoon, they practice calligraphy, read and write articles, and complete their daily homework.

In the evening, Aunt Shen really served two fish dishes, one braised fish and one sweet and sour fish.After serving the food, she didn't leave, she stood aside and waited to see the effect of Qi Muyuan's taste.

Qi Muyuan looked at the two plates of fish, then at Du Jinning, with a look of hesitation.

Du Jinning didn't urge him, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish and put it in his mouth, finally nodded and said to Aunt Shen: "This fish is well done."

Aunt Shen suddenly burst into laughter.

Because Qi Mu came from far away, the vegetable gold is also much more abundant. She bought three fish today, peeled the smallest one in half, and cooked it together with the two. Before serving the fish, she tasted it and felt There is really nothing to say about the taste.

Hearing this, Qi Muyuan finally stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of sweet and sour fish into his mouth.

Du Jinning, Aunt Shen, and Guanqi all stared at him nervously.

As soon as the fish was in his mouth, Qi Muyuan's eyes lit up, he chewed it for a while, swallowed it, and said to Du Jinning, "That's right, it doesn't smell fishy, ​​it tastes good." He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up another piece of sweet and sour fish.

"Try this dish again." Du Jinning saw that he had eaten several pieces of sweet and sour fish, but he was still unsatisfied, so he quickly pushed the braised fish in front of him.

These fish are all fried in oil pan before being sweet and sour and braised in soy sauce, plus pre-treatment, not only has no fishy smell, but also tastes good.The strong taste directly covered the last fishy smell of the fish.After Qi Muyuan tasted the braised fish, he said it was also delicious.

However, judging from the way he repeatedly dropped his chopsticks on the sweet and sour fish, he still liked that bite.

Du Jinning turned his head to Aunt Shen who was full of joy and said, "In the future, when you make meat dishes, don't boil or steam them. If you want to make meat dishes like this, although the taste is stronger, your young master will be able to eat a few more bites."

Aunt Shen was full of gratitude to Du Jinning at this time.One must know that the cooks and cooks of Qi's mansion failed to make their young master eat a few more bites despite all their tricks. For this reason, they were often blamed by the old master, master, and wife.Now that she can cook the young master's favorite dishes, the old master and the others must reward and reuse her if they know about it.All of them have to follow suit.

"Yes, thank you, Young Master Du." She saluted gratefully, and couldn't help but ask again, "Is there any other dishes that Young Master Du can teach me? I have learned it, and I can also cook it for my young master and young master Du. "

"Well, I'll write it down for you later. Two dishes a day, as long as I live here, I will give you as many recipes as possible."

Aunt Shen's mouth was almost cracked to the base of her ears: "That's really thankful, Young Master Du." She was thinking about what she could give Du Jinning in return.

Qi Muyuan took a look at Du Jinning, then turned his head and told Aunt Shen: "What Young Master Du taught you, don't pass it on to outsiders. Once you learn those recipes, give them to me. I have other uses."

"Yes, young master." Aunt Shen became more and more happy when she heard this.Keeping it from spreading means that she is the only one who can cook these dishes.In the future, even if she returns to Qi's house in the capital, no one can pass her by, because only she can cook the dishes that Young Master Qi likes to eat.

Only then did Qi Muyuan say to Du Jinning, "You can open a restaurant."

He mentioned this before, it was his idea to Du Jinning who was short of money after eating the dishes made by Mrs. Chen.Later, because the best restaurant in Lishui County was run by the Guan family, and Du Jinning couldn't compete with the Guan family, this idea was rejected.

But now in Fucheng, there is no one to worry about.With Du Jinning's two fish dishes, and Chen's previous dishes, it can be a restaurant's signature dish.

This time Du Jinning didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, let's work together." Seeing that Qi Muyuan wanted to speak, she raised a finger, "Don't refuse. I still have to rely on your power, otherwise I can't beat you Those restaurants with backgrounds."

Qi Muyuan didn't want to take advantage of her.But seeing her say this, he nodded and agreed: "That's fine."

"Let's buy some cooks who are willing to sign a contract of sale. It doesn't matter how good their skills are, as long as they have a foundation, and then train them, they will be able to open several restaurants." Du Jinning said.

Seeing that Du Jinning soon had an idea, Qi Muyuan said: "These things have to be done after the hospital examination is over. The most important thing for you now is the hospital examination."

"It's natural." Du Jinning nodded.

She can still tell the priority of things.It's not that she is so short of money that she has to open a restaurant. Naturally, she has to pass the college exam before doing this.

The next day, the group went to meet Yao Shuqi and a middle-aged man surnamed Mei near Fuxue, and went to see the three houses together.

The three houses were all selected according to Du Jinning's request, similar with minor differences.Du Jinning looked it over, although Yao Shuqi carefully selected these houses, and they were all good, but comparing them with the houses he designed in his mind, Du Jinning felt that this was not good, and that was not good either. .

"I'll go back and think about it before making a decision," she said.

Mei Zhongren didn't care either.

Buying a house is a big deal. How can you decide on a matter of two or three thousand taels of silver at a glance?Some people look at it seven or eight times before deciding which one to buy.

However, Qi Muyuan saw what Du Jinning was thinking, and bid farewell to Mei Zhongren and got on the carriage. He simply persuaded: "If you don't mind the trouble, then buy the one opposite our house. Let's find a way to lower the price. I also I hope you can buy that place, and we can take care of each other as neighbors in the future."

"Okay." Du Jinning nodded.After seeing so many houses, she has also been to the houses of the Guan family, the Yuan family, and the Qi family, and she has a general understanding of the houses of this era.There was an idea in her mind, which could only be realized by buying a homestead.Even if the house really sold for 500 taels, she would not lose money if she bought it.
