Pastoral little master

Chapter 92

Qiduo didn't care about the contemptuous attitude of these people at all.

Anyway, she is in no hurry.

But Guan Shi's heart was as anxious as a fire, Xu Youxuan had asked the clerk to come down several times to remind him.

If the grind continues, Xu Youxuan should come down and scold him himself.

He roared angrily, "What are you still doing, don't you want to do it, why don't you hurry up and listen to the little brother."

Only then did the handyman bring a knife to slaughter the fish.

Qiduo smiled with the corners of her lips raised, and went to the kitchen next door to look at the seasonings.

There are three or four condiments that are not available, but she has the best spiritual spring water, so it doesn't affect it.

But when choosing vegetables, I found no soybean sprouts.

A layer of blanched soybean sprouts is spread under the boiled fish, which is very delicious.

Qiduo thought about it seriously, and suspected that there might not be bean sprouts here, but she was not sure, so she asked Manager He.

Manager He shook his head, not knowing what bean sprouts were.

Qiduo was pleasantly surprised, no bean sprouts are good, this is another new business opportunity, soybeans and mung beans are available at home, bean sprouts are very simple, the cost is low, but the income is considerable.

Ah, that's great, there are business opportunities everywhere!

Qiduo is secretly happy.

There was nothing wrong with the lack of bean sprouts, so she asked Liuju to go to the ox cart to fetch two bamboo shoots, just in time to show off her own bamboo shoots.

The fish was cleaned up quickly, Qiduo took it to the kitchen next door and closed the door, only she and Liuju were inside.

Because of the absolute secrecy, Qiduo only asked the handyman to disembowel the fish, take out the internal organs, remove the gills and clean them, and he had to do the rest by himself.

She asked Liuju to prepare the required condiments, while she cut the fish head, took off the fish fillets and made fish fillets, then put the fish fillets into a basin, added egg whites, salt and starch and put them aside to marinate.

Liuju has prepared the condiments and started to boil hot water under the stove. Qiduo cut the bamboo shoots treated with supernatural powers into slices, put them in hot water and cooked them with salt, and then took them out and put them in the fish for later. in a clean basin.

Start to make five-spice oil, this oil will make the boiled fish very fragrant, put the oil in the pot, put star anise, Chinese prickly ash, dried chili, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices, and fry them until brown-yellow with low heat , scoop out the spices and discard them, and scoop out most of the oil for later use.

Add dried chilli segments, Chinese prickly ash, minced garlic, and sliced ​​ginger and stir-fry together. After the aroma is released, add the fish head and fish fillets and stir-fry well. Finally, add soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, and pepper and stir-fry together.

Add space water to cover the fish meat. After boiling, put the marinated fish fillets one by one, spread them out with chopsticks, turn off the fire after the fish fillets change color, pour the fish fillets and soup into the pre-prepared Good bamboo shoots in a deep basin.

After the pot is cleaned, pour the remaining five-spice oil and heat until it is five minutes hot, add the remaining dried chili segments and peppercorns, fry the aroma of the peppers and peppercorns over low heat, and add a little chili paste, and fry it out like this The oil is reddish in color and very beautiful.
In the last step, hot oil is poured on the fish fillet, and the hot and fragrant boiled fish is freshly baked.

Qiduo did it with joy, but it was difficult for Liuju, who was choked by the smell of chili peppers in the room and had tears and nose flowing together, as if something sad had happened.

When the two sisters came out, Manager He pointed to the tearful Liuju and asked curiously, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Steward He, come in and stay for a while, I'm sure you will be like me." Liuju pointed to the kitchen behind her.

Now she is more courageous and dares to speak.

Just in a hurry, the voice was a little delicate, and Qi Duo hurriedly kicked her lightly.

He Guanshi didn't pay much attention to it, but focused on the boiled fish in Qiduo's hand.

The bright red pepper, the snow-white fish fillet, the green chives, and the tempting aroma burst into the nostrils, it is really delicious in color and fragrance.

Guanshi Ma, who was originally full of disbelief, couldn't help being secretly surprised when he saw this pot of boiled fish, and when he thought about his own pot of boiled fish, his face became embarrassed.

"Guan Shi He, Guan Shi Ma, please check first to see if there is any problem with the fish." Qiduo handed the tray to Guan Shi He.

"It's definitely fine." Manager He smiled politely, and reached out to take the tray himself.

Manager He asked the boy to take Qiduo and Liuju to rest.

After the Qiduo sisters left, Manager He still tried to see if there was any problem with the fish.

Seeing that the fish was clean and safe, Steward Ma immediately asked someone to bring chopsticks over and pick up a piece of fish fillet to taste.

So tender!

This is Guanshi Ma's first feeling.

So spicy!
Guanshi Ma's second feeling was that after the fish fillet entered his throat, he immediately opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and fanned the wind with his hands.

"Oh, it's too spicy." Steward Ma shook his head and clicked his tongue.

"Those merchants from other places seem to like spicy food very much." The guy who brought the fish upstairs answered the question.

"Hurry up and send it up." Steward He handed the fish to the boy.

The boy nodded, hurriedly took the fish and hurried upstairs.

Manager He thought for a while, feeling a little worried, and went upstairs with the boy.

As soon as they went up to the second floor, they saw Xu Youxuan walking down with a cold face. When he saw them, he raised his eyebrows, "Why did you come here until now?"

Guanshi He immediately stepped forward and said to him in a low voice, "Sir, you don't know, Guanshi Ma and the others don't know how to cook boiled fish. Later..."

He roughly told what happened just now.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Xu Youxuan was shocked.

"Yes, I thought he was here to make trouble. By the way, they said they came to discuss business with you." Guanshi He suddenly remembered the purpose of Qiduo's first visit.

"Success, don't let them go first, I'll go upstairs to see what the magistrate Gu said." Xu Youxuan said.

Manager He left in response.

Xu Youxuan hurried upstairs to entertain the guests.

If it wasn't for the problem with the boiled fish, he wouldn't have come out to entertain the guests, even if the county magistrate was there.

Although Guanshi He went downstairs, he still kept his eyes on the stairs, worried that another boy would come down with a fish and say that it was not up to standard, and then he would not know what to do.

While feeling uneasy, a boy really came down, and it was the one from before.

However, he didn't hold anything in his hand, so Guanshi heaved a sigh of relief.

"San'er, come here." Manager He waved his hand.

The little guy named San'er ran over and asked, "He is in charge, what do you want from me?"

"After the boiled fish was brought in, what did they say?" Steward He asked.

"Hey, Guanshi He, you don't know. The fish in the pot is full of chili peppers. I was thinking how to eat it. But when it was served on the table, the eyes of those foreign merchants immediately lit up, and they all stretched out their mouths. After picking up the chopsticks, they all gave a thumbs up after eating, saying that this is the best boiled fish they have ever eaten.

Then they thanked the Shaodong family, saying that they had been away for half a year and finally had the food of their hometown. "San'er spoke very neatly, excitedly describing the scene just now.

He Guanshi's heart finally fell to the ground, and his impression of Qiduo finally changed.

I think of Qiduo's saying, "Wisdom does not lie in old age, but if you don't have wisdom, you can grow a hundred years old. Don't bully the young and poor."

He sighed, he was indeed a remarkable young man.

After he finished expressing his feelings, he quickly remembered one thing, and ordered San'er to call Steward Ma over.

Manager Ma will come over soon.

"Boss Ma, you have tasted the boiled fish too, but you are sure you can cook it." Guanshi He asked.

"I'm researching it." Manager Ma said.

But the tone is a little false.

Ever since he tasted the boiled fish made by Qiduo, he has been quietly trying to figure out how she cooks it.

But apart from knowing that the boiled fish is not a whole fish but a fillet, the subsequent steps are not clear, let alone what seasonings are added.

"Then hurry up." Manager He's eyes lit up.

Manager Ma nodded and hurried to the back kitchen.

Manager He thought for a while, went to the back kitchen in person, asked the kitchen to cook some side dishes, plus rice, and sent them to Qiduo and Liuju.

Qiduo didn't refuse, and ran to call Tan Dejin to have dinner together. He didn't want to come in, but she dragged him in alive.

Half an hour later, Xu Youxuan came down from upstairs with a happy face.

"Guard He, let Guanshi Ma prepare well. Mr. Zhang and the others enjoyed their meal. Tomorrow, we will order three tables in our restaurant. In addition to boiled fish, there are also boiled sliced ​​meat and boiled cabbage. These three dishes It is an essential three-course main course.

Note, this boiled cabbage is not boiled cabbage. "Xu Youxuan smiled and said to He Guanshi that he was in a good mood.

Guanshi He was happy to hear the first half of his sentence, but the second half made him grimace, and said, "Young master, we didn't have boiled pork slices and boiled cabbage before. Who knows if Guanshi Ma will do it."

Xu Youxuan nodded lightly, there was some truth in his words.

He pursed his thin lips lightly, and said after a moment of pondering, "Guan He, are the two teenagers you mentioned earlier still here?"

"I've been waiting for you." Manager He said hastily.

"Bring them to see me." Xu Youxuan said, then turned and left.

Manager He rushed to call Qiduo.

Qiduo was a little anxious waiting, seeing this, went to see Xu Youxuan with Liuju.

They went to an elegant room on the second floor, and it looked like a study room. There were famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, all kinds of classic books on literature and history were placed on the tall bookshelves, and the four treasures of the study were placed on the long black lacquer table. .

At first glance, I thought Xu Youxuan was a scholar who was studying hard in the cold window, but he was actually a profiteer with a simple face and a dark heart.

The young man with thick brows, big eyes and a loyal face sitting in front of the desk was Xu Youxuan.

"Shaodong's family, they are here." Steward He pointed to Qiduo and Liuju.

Xu Youxuan looked up at the door, then smiled gently, got up and walked over.

"Two little brothers, please sit down. Manager He, order tea and snacks." Xu Youxuan greeted Qiduo politely without recognizing Qiduo in men's clothing.

"Xu Shaodong's family is welcome." Qiduo greeted politely, and sat down with Liuju on the side seat.

Xu Youxuan sat down on the chair opposite them, without beating around the bush, he said directly, "I don't know how to call the two little brothers, but I really thank you two for your help, I am very grateful."

"Xu Shaodong's family is very polite, and we are very honored to be able to help Gui Restaurant." Qi Duo replied very politely.

Xu Youxuan's black eyes moved slightly, the subject changed, he looked at Qiduo and said, "Where is the little brother?"

"We farm in the countryside." Qiduo replied.

There was joy in Xu Youxuan's eyes, and he said, "Little brother, if you don't dislike us, I am willing to hire you as the master chef of our restaurant, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver."

Not a negotiating tone, but an affirmation.

Because in his opinion, a salary of two taels of silver per month is considered a very high salary, and Qiduo will not refuse.
