Yu Xiaocao opened her eyes wide, looked at him strangely, and said, "Godfather, the shares are not for free! I invested one hundred taels of silver in the shares, plus the formula of oyster sauce, I will give you a two-cent bonus." I think it’s missing! This is what we deserve, if we don’t want it, it’s not cheap to miss that kid on Wednesday?”
Only then did Fang Fangzhen realize that he had misunderstood. He laughed and covered it up, and said: "So we deserve that share! My daughter is capable, and she knows how to invest in shares and do business at a young age, not bad! She is indeed the precious girl of my house town."
Yu Xiaocao was still thinking about the location of the oyster sauce workshop, and said anxiously: "Godfather, is there really no other way for our oyster sauce workshop?"
Since it is his daughter's business, House Town will naturally not look for trouble anymore, he pretended to think for a while, and then said: "I remembered the blueprint I had seen, and I will discuss it with the people from the Ministry of Industry when I go back, and try to keep it. Your workshop is. Don't worry, there is a godfather here!"
Only then did Yu Xiaocao smile, and said, "Thank you godfather! If it's too embarrassing, forget it! We can't delay the progress of the port because of our workshop."
"No embarrassment, no embarrassment! You still have the right to be a godfather!! Girl, what are you having for lunch today? Don't you have pork belly? Let's have braised pork. The braised pork you made is sweet and soft, fat but not greasy, dry Daddy likes this!" Fang Fangzhen intentionally shifted the topic to the dishes, for fear that the clever girl would notice something.
On the side, Young Master Wednesday seemed to see something. However, this little boy couldn't figure out why the imperial envoy seemed to have a lot of opinions on him. Today, if it wasn't for Xiaocao, I'm afraid it would be difficult to keep the workshop he worked so hard for for several months. Although the Zhou family is an imperial merchant, they can only give in to the truly powerful officials!
The problem was solved, and Yu Xiaocao returned to the kitchen. She first roasted a small part of the sandworms with a low fire to make dried sandworms, and then assigned a job to Yu Hang, asking him to take the dried sandworms to Mao's house next door to borrow a small stone mill, and grind the dried sandworms into powder. The dried sandworm powder can enhance the freshness, and it is much safer and more environmentally friendly than the MSG in the previous life!
For the remaining sand worms, she made a plate of steamed sand worms with garlic, a pot of sand worm pork rib soup, and some stir-fried with leeks as side dishes. Plus a pot of oily red meat, and a few plates of stir-fried vegetables seasoned with dried sandworms. Although there is no preparation in advance, the meal is still very rich.
The dishes made with sandworms were well received by everyone. Fangfangzhen has a special liking for steamed sandworms with garlic. He killed more than half of a plate. The delicious and crispy sandworms, combined with the unique taste of garlic, are simply delicious!
The sandworms left by Yu Xiaocao are big and thick, and of high quality. The sandworm sparerib soup is as white as milk, very delicious, sweet and nourishing, even Liu Shi, who is afraid of insects, drank a full bowl.
The vegetables fried with sandworm powder as seasoning are much more delicious than usual. Even Young Master Zhou was very surprised, thinking that Xiaocao's cooking skills had improved again, far surpassing Chef Wang with decades of experience.
Before he could open his mouth, Yu Xiaocao said mysteriously: "I came up with another seasoning recipe. You have tasted it, please give me some advice! If you think it is good, we can batch it in the oyster sauce workshop Produced and sold nationwide... ”
On Wednesday, Shao Shao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "You mean, these vegetarian dishes have a unique taste because of the seasoning you newly developed? Xiaocao, you are a genius among geniuses! I just wanted to ask you why today's The dishes are so delicious! Write down the recipe quickly, and I will give you 10% of the shares!"
In this way, I accounted for 30% of the shares of the workshop. Yu Xiaocao seemed to see the little silver ingots flying towards her continuously, and her eyes narrowed with joy. She nodded without thinking about it: "However, I want to think about the recipe again, and strive to make it more perfect!"
If only sandworm powder is used, people will definitely see through and imitate it quickly. She plans to add some kelp powder and a small amount of spices. In fact, she really has some culinary talent, and she tried to find the best ratio within a few days, and the deliciousness far exceeds that of a single sandworm powder. In the process of experimenting, she worked out the formula of five-spice powder and handed it over to Shao Zhou for operation.
In this way, their workshop is no longer a single oyster sauce workshop, and the seasoning produced is named "Haitian", including "Haitian Oyster Sauce", "Haitian MSG", "Haitian Five Spice Powder" and "Haitian Fermented Bean Curd". Under Xiaocao's suggestion, two seasonings, "Haitian Soy Sauce" and "Haitian Mature Vinegar", were added to make Haitian's seasoning industry more complete. This is something.
But at this time, Fang Fangzhen was a little dissatisfied with the boy of the Zhou family, talking and laughing happily with his daughter, which made her laugh again and again. From time to time, he would take an eye knife and goug out Zhou Shao's eyes. It made Wednesday a little restless. Should he ask Xiaocao how he offended Mr. Fang, and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes. In the future, when the business gets bigger, there will be more time to deal with officials. If we don't understand the reasons, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles.
House Town listened to Xiaocao talking about the prospects of the workshop with great interest, interrupted them at every turn, and said with a smile: "Girl, this sandworm tastes really good! It's hard for you to come up with these dishes."
Yu Xiaocao smiled at him and said, "Godfather, you should eat more if it tastes delicious! This sandworm is not only delicious, but also nutritious as well as shark's fin and abalone! Hurry up tomorrow, I'll get more dried sandworms, next time I go back to Beijing When the time comes, you bring it to the godmother. I will write down the cooking method, so that the godmother can also taste the delicacy of our seaside!"
House town sipped the sandworm sparerib soup, nodded and said: "Last time you asked me to bring the tomatoes, your godmother likes it very much. I especially like to scald the persimmons and eat them mixed with sugar... By the way , your godmother made some clothes for you, and some small snacks from the capital, let me bring them back. They are all in the luggage, I will go and get them for you."
Xiaocao hurriedly grabbed the godfather who was about to get up, and said with a smile: "Godfather, you're not here at this time, let's eat first! You love braised pork, this piece of fat and thin, here you are!"
Fang Fangzhen ate the braised pork that his goddaughter personally sandwiched with him, showing a happy face, and said: "It's still a girl who is so caring! Dad didn't love you for nothing!"
Yu Hai looked at the piece of braised pork in the bowl of the house with some jealousy, coughed twice, and glanced at his little daughter. After Yu Xiaocao also picked up a piece of meat for him, a smile appeared on his face.
Liu Shi next to him couldn't help lowering his head and laughing at his man's rare childish side. He's such an old man, and he still competes with others for favor, and what he's fighting for is his little daughter's attention. How could she not know that her man has such a lovely side
Mrs. Liu picked up a chopstick of chives and stir-fried sandworms, and put them in Yu Hai's rice bowl. Yu Hai looked up at her. Usually, the lady rarely serves him food when there are outsiders around. How about today? Raising his eyes and meeting the lady's gentle and understanding gaze, Yu Hai's face suddenly became hot. what happened to him? Cao'er is his own flesh and blood, no matter how many godfathers there are, they can't change the blood relationship. How could he feel uncomfortable because of a piece of braised pork? It's really getting better and better!
In the days that followed, the members of the Yu family became busy again. Except for those who went to the wharf to sell stewed vegetables, everyone else was mobilized by Xiaocao to dig sandworms on the tidal flats. Sometimes, the house town is not on duty, or the small stone rests for a bath, and is called to work by the sea.
Yu Xiaocao has the cheating tool of Xiaotianbushi, which is the most harvested of all people every day. Sometimes the whole family can't catch as many as she alone. In order not to catch the sandworms on a certain beach, Xiaocao kept changing the area where the sandworms were caught.
Others in the village were very puzzled by the frequent digging of sea intestines by this family. Tongrentang no longer accepts sea intestines, so why dig them? Several families made good friends with them and came to inquire one after another. Yu Xiaocao didn't hide anything, and taught them a few simple ways to eat sea sausage. When they saw the dried sandworms drying in Yu's yard, they also thought of hoarding some dried sandworms.
After all, the fishermen in Dongshan Village depend on the sky for their food. If the weather at sea is bad for a certain period of time, most of the people in Dongshan Village who depend on the sea for food may lose their source of income. Most of the families in the village are poor, and if they don't go to sea for a few days, they won't see much impact. If they can't go to sea for half a month or even a month, many families will have no food. Food and clothing have always been the pursuit of the villagers of Dongshan Village.
Leaving aside the issue of whether the sandworms are delicious or not, I heard from the Yu family that the sandworms are definitely edible. Sandworms are not easy to preserve, but they can be dried. If one day it is time to run out of food, stewing soup with dried sandworms can also solve the urgent need.
All of a sudden, a unique landscape appeared on the coast where Dongshan Village belongs: the villagers of Dongshan Village, holding various tools, bent their waists, pouted their buttocks, or lay on the sand, looking for sea intestines.
And Zhenxiu Restaurant immediately launched several dishes with sea intestines or dried sea intestines as ingredients. Their unique taste has won unanimous praise from many customers.
As soon as Zhenxiu Restaurant in Beijing opened, it won unanimous praise from customers for its five special dishes: roast chicken, sweet-scented osmanthus duck, flavored braised vegetables, sea sausage dishes, and oyster sauce dishes. Even several time-honored restaurants in the capital have lost a lot of customers! Zhenxiu Restaurant became an instant hit in the capital, and quickly gained a firm foothold with its endless specialties.
At this time, Haitian seasoning workshop also started to operate. Oyster sauce and sandworm powder monosodium glutamate need to purchase seafood such as oysters and sandworms. Zhenxiulou uses sandworms as ingredients, which also increases the demand for sandworms. Therefore, on Wednesday, less people were sent to various fishing villages to purchase these seafood.
