After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 93: A Little Show of Skills
This week, Jiang Li has been busy at the branch of Yuelai Restaurant.

Jiang Li was busy until the wedding banquet of He Quan's brother, and prepared all the dishes for the banquet one day in advance.

Jiang Li specially took a large insulated box and put the vegetables and meat into two insulated boxes.

For a wedding banquet, it is necessary to have chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, prawns and the like.

There are actually very few vegetarian dishes, but the combination of meat and vegetables is also indispensable. Meat dishes alone can easily become greasy.

As soon as He Quan's car entered the village, he was warmly welcomed.

When Jiang Li got off the car, the villagers were also very enthusiastic.

But after the two got off the bus, no one else was seen getting off.

Everyone was confused. Wasn't there a chef? Where was the chef? Could it be this little girl?

"Quanzi, where is the chef you brought with you?" Mother He became anxious as soon as she saw him.

Her eldest son He Quan is usually very reliable. Could it be that he is useless at this critical moment?

He Quanrang introduced Jiang Li to the villagers.

"This is the chef I found, Boss Jiang. His dishes are really delicious."

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes present were focused on Jiang Li.

Is this young girl a chef? She doesn't look like one. I'm afraid she's not here to make people laugh.

Jiang Li did not want to explain more. After all, no matter how much he said, it would not be as good as showing off his skills.

Because the ingredients are all provided by Jiang Li, and with the support of Jiang Li's technical skills.

So He Quan had told Jiang Li before that when the banquet bill came, he would pay her according to the table.

The price of a table of dishes is naturally much higher than the cost price. After all, it is not cheap to treat Jiang Li once.

Jiang Li arrived a day in advance of the wedding. When most people in the He family saw Jiang Li, they felt disappointed.

What kind of delicious dishes can such a young girl cook? There are even many people watching the excitement in the He family.

It would be embarrassing if the food turned out to be terrible after the banquet was held in such a hurry.

In order to prove her cooking skills, Jiang Li prepared three tables the night before the wedding.

This is for the guests coming to dinner. It was previously made by He's mother, but today it was given to Jiang Li.

This kind of banquet mainly consists of home-cooked dishes, with plenty of meat dishes and a grand presentation.

He Quan said that ten dishes would be enough for a table, so Jiang Li planned to make eight hot dishes and two cold dishes.

When the preparations began, He Quan and his brothers moved down Jiang Li's two large insulated boxes.

This thing is not lucky, so we had to find a freight truck to deliver it.

The two cold dishes are cucumber mixed with pig ears and shredded meat hot pot.

The eight hot dishes are braised meat with bamboo shoots, crispy fried meat, golden hen with eggs, and harmonious tofu.

There are also boiled shrimp, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, eggplant with aftertaste, and a steamed sea bass.

There were only three tables here, and Jiang Li was able to handle it all by herself. The He family members standing around her wanted to test her.

He just stood there and watched, with no intention of helping.

In order, Jiang Li made the cold dishes first.

First take out the cooked pig ears, Jiang Li cut them into strips and put them into a mixing bowl for later use.

Wash the cucumber, cut it into thin strips and put it into the mixing bowl.

While washing the cucumbers, Jiang Li also washed other necessary vegetables.

It saves you the effort later.

Jiang Li cut the cucumber into thin strips because he felt that cutting the cucumber into thin strips would better give it a cool taste.

Jiang Li is to mash the garlic cloves into garlic paste, then cut the green onions into small pieces and add them into the mixing bowl.

After adding more seasonings, Jiang Li uses chopsticks or hands to mix all the ingredients and seasonings thoroughly.

The mixed vegetables were divided evenly into three plates, and a serving of cucumber and pig ears was successfully made.

After making the cold dishes, Jiang Li started to make hot dishes.

Make some side dishes first, such as bamboo shoots braised meat and crispy fried meat. Turn on two fires at the same time and prepare the respective side dishes, such as bamboo shoots, pork belly, etc.

When choosing ingredients at the beginning, Jiang Li chose fresh pork belly, whose fat and lean meat are intertwined to provide rich taste and aroma.

The bamboo shoots should also be selected from the freshest and tenderest parts, and avoid using bamboo shoots that are too old or spoiled.

The fried bamboo shoots with meat made in this way will be more delicious.

When making crispy fried meat, you should also choose the right meat.

Jiang Li chose pork tenderloin and pork loin because the meat is tender and not easy to overcook.

And when choosing, make sure that the color is bright, the meat is delicate and there is no fishy smell.

Jiang Li didn't seem busy when she was cooking with two pots, mainly because she was like this when the restaurant was busy before.

Now it’s easy to cook and I can easily stir-fry two dishes at the same time.

The last dish I made was steamed sea bass, which was a great dish.

The taste of steamed sea bass depends largely on the preparation of the sauce.

Jiang Li uses his own secret recipe and chooses to use steamed fish soy sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, pepper and other seasonings to prepare a sauce that suits his taste.

The final step of drizzling oil can bring out the aroma and enhance the taste of the whole dish.

But at the same time, pay attention to the control of the oil temperature to avoid the oil temperature being too high and causing the fish to be overcooked or burnt.

The people around were watching Jiang Li's familiar movements, and every dish he made seemed to look good.

I felt more convinced and started cooking one dish after another.

"Oh, this meat smells so good!"

"Yes, it smells so good that I want to eat it."

As the dishes were served on the table, the villagers who came to help sat down in their seats.

This time the He family members were not idle either. They were particularly considerate and went to help Jiang Li serve the dishes.

Jiang Li was naturally not polite. Since someone was helping him, he just sat back and drank some tea, and then rested his sore hands.

The dishes were served slowly and the guests ate slowly.

"This tofu is really delicious. I've eaten several pieces."

"Look at the eldest son of the old Han family. He is only ten years old and he is so capable. He must have eaten ten pieces of meat in such a long time."

"Yes, this meat is really delicious."

The eyes of the people who came to the feast were all green, and they all stared at the meat.

Although conditions in the village are better now, unlike in the past few decades when people couldn't even afford meat.

But the meat that everyone cooks at home is never as delicious as Jiang Li’s now.

In order to prove his cooking skills, Chef Jiang Lijiang tried his best!

The villagers present had a great time and all the dishes were delicious.

We ate for two hours straight, until after seven o'clock.

There were still quite a few dishes left at the end.

Many guests asked Mother He for a lot of plastic bags so that they could pack up the food they couldn't finish and take it home.

There was quite a lot left, and almost every household that came could take a bag of vegetables home.

This meat is fried so deliciously.

No one was disgusted, and everyone was very happy.

Can they take away the food they can’t finish? Fortunately, He’s mother was willing to give them plastic bags, otherwise they would be embarrassed.

After the meal, the villagers who came to the banquet felt a little reluctant to leave.

There are many people getting married in the village, but the most delicious meal they have is still today's.

How did this end?
Fortunately, there is a formal wedding banquet tomorrow, so I can have a good meal then.
