I am a Chef in the Modern Era

Chapter 17: Fragrant bittern

Views:

The Xiqin restaurant was quiet for a few days. Lin Shuyi always felt that since Old Yangtou had spoken so firmly, his son would probably not come here again. After all, this is Old Yangtou's own house, whether to sell it or not. Naturally, it was Old Yang who had the final say.

Shen Fu felt that things should not be so simple, especially the grandson of Lao Yangtou, who was young but not young.

But seeing that Lin Shuyi and Lao Yang had put this matter behind them within two days, Shen Fu felt that there was no need to speak out, lest they would be upset for nothing.

Recently, a pastry restaurant opened on Chaoyang Street, and the pastries inside are very good. Lin Shuyi fell in love with their signature pastry chocolate mousse cup after only going there once.

Shen Fu finally found out that Lin Shuyi is fond of sweets, as long as he likes sweet food, but it seems that he has never eaten anything sweet, even the chocolates are bought for him by Shen Fu, Lin Shuyi Shu Yi fell in love with it as soon as he took one bite. From now on, as long as he sees anything with the word chocolate on it, he will basically eat it.

Not only does he like to eat, even if he sees pictures on his phone, Lin Shuyi will look at them for a long time.

So as long as he was passing by, Shen Fu would go in and buy one, and when he went back and saw Lin Shuyi's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Lin Shuyi is easy to coax, Shen Fu already knew about it.

When he brought Lin Shuyi a mousse cup, he would buy Lao Yangtou a sesame egg roll from the store. Lao Yangtou was just the opposite of Lin Shuyi. I don't have any favorite intentions, but Lao Yangtou likes the sesame egg rolls in the pastry house. They are crunchy and not very sweet, and there is a sweet fragrance of eggs.

"A chocolate mousse cup, a sesame egg roll, take away."

Shen Fu stood in front of the cash register with one hand in his pocket. The light gray cotton short sleeves didn't look high-end, and even the trousers on his lower body didn't look like a good product, but he just put his pocket in so casually, like a t-shirt Like a supermodel walking down the stage, her eyelashes are slightly drooping, and she is incomparably good-looking.

The little girl blushed and handed the things up, thinking to herself, this handsome guy comes here often recently, and he always orders these two things, is it for his girlfriend? A girlfriend who looks so handsome must also be very beautiful.

"Your things, please take away..."

Before she finished speaking, the cell phone rang suddenly. The little girl looked at the person in front of her and took out the cell phone. Seeing the note on it, she couldn't help but twitched her lips. She was sure that the person calling must be This handsome guy's girlfriend.

"… kindness… "

"what else?"

"Okay, I like to eat too."

Not only is the tone gentle, but even the corners of the mouth are raised throughout the whole process without letting go.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Fu realized that the little girl at the cash register was looking at him with a blushing face, the fire of gossip burning in her eyes, the corner of her mouth twitched, she took the things, turned around and left.

On the way, I stopped by and bought the chicken feet that Lin Shuyi told me, I wanted raw chicken feet from the butcher shop, and Lin Shuyi said to make braised meat.

Lin Shuyi still seldom cooks, but once he cooks it, it will smell good far away. Even Lao Yang said that if this continues, this Xiqin restaurant will sell the dishes together. Not only him, but even Lao Yang couldn't help being greedy for cooking.

Sure enough, before he reached the Xiqin Restaurant, he could smell the fragrance coming out of the restaurant.

Lin Shuyi was mixing marinade.

A few spoonfuls of dark soy sauce and a few spoonfuls of wine, these are all very particular, and the taste of each marinade is exactly the same.

Making lo-mei is as big as what spices to use, as small as how much spices to use, and what brand of dark soy sauce is used. These are the keys to affect the taste. Lin Shuyi doesn't know much about the many brands in the supermarket. He only takes Lao Yang. He thinks the taste is relatively similar among the few that he often buys, and the rest only has a different spice ratio from others.

Wrap the spices in gauze, make a big bag, throw it into the pot to soak, Lin Shuyi came out of the kitchen, still wearing that funny cartoon apron, but Shen Fu felt that Lin Shuyi seemed to be born with suitable for this.

Shen Fu put the chicken feet in his hand on the table first, and then slowly brought the mousse cup in the other hand to Lin Shuyi, "Your favorite chocolate mousse cup."

Lin Shuyi's eyes really lit up again, and when he took it, he said to Shen Fu, "Thank you."

He is polite.

Then Shen Fu put the sesame egg roll in front of Old Yang, "Grandpa's sesame egg roll."

Old Yang squinted his eyes, "It's better to be Xiaofu. I know I like this, but I don't have to buy it all the time. This food is fresh and delicious only if I eat less."

Even though he said so, it can be seen that Lao Yangtou is still not at all tired of this sesame egg roll that he has eaten many times.

With something delicious in hand, Lao Yang opened up the chatterbox.

"Today, Lao Chen next door brought some beef from his hometown. This beef is not as good as the one bought in the market, but it is much more delicious, and the price is not usually expensive. It is a pity to eat it like this. I asked Xiaoyi to add a little bit of stew, make it an appetizer, and drink two glasses with Lao Chen, but Xiaoyi said, anyway, it’s a bit of stew, so I might as well stew a little more at a time, and add two more, it’s not a trouble this time.”

No wonder he was asked to buy chicken feet exclusively.

Looking at what Lin Shuyi prepared, besides the beef, there are also fresh local eggs and dried spices, it seems that he plans to have a miscellaneous stew.

In fact, making braised meat is not an easy job, mainly because if you eat it today, it will definitely not be tasty enough. If you want it to taste delicious, you have to stew it today and start eating it tomorrow.

At first, Old Yangtou said that he was not in a hurry, but when the smell began to permeate the entire Xiqin restaurant, he couldn't sit still and wanted to go in and have a look.

The marinade has turned into a darker brownish red color, and the outside of the native eggs has been scratched with a knife. One deep and one shallow is very appetizing. The beef has been rolled in the soup pot, and it has been integrated with the color of the marinade. The dried fragrant and chicken feet are different Evenly distributed in every corner of the soup pot, the aroma hits the forehead, making people want to drool.

"Hey, Old Yang, what are you doing delicious? It smells so far away? I smelled it as soon as I went out!"

The high-pitched and shrill voice has always been only one person, Xiaowan's grandma.

Xiaowan was also carrying a bag and was going to go out. She saw her grandma enter the Xiqin Restaurant, so she followed her in. She has been very busy recently, and she didn't have time to see the two handsome guys in the Xiqin Restaurant.

Thinking of Xiaowan, she sniffed again, the smell is really delicious.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Old Yang smiled, "There's nothing delicious, I just marinated some beef and dried spices."

Xiaowan's grandma looked at Lin Shuyi, her eyes were full of admiration, "Xiaoyi is really a good kid." She also looked at her granddaughter, if she remembered correctly, the two seemed to be the same age, they both seemed to be the same age. It's such a big child, and my granddaughter doesn't even talk about cooking, she can cook noodles without starving herself, so she burns incense.

As soon as Xiao Wan saw her grandma looking at her, she knew what she was going to say again, so she quickly shrank behind Old Yang's head and said, "Grandma, stop talking, I know what you are going to say."

Old Yangtou and Lin Xiaowan's grandmother looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Xiaowan's grandmother laughed and cursed, "What? I can't even talk about you now."

Lin Xiaowan stuck out her tongue and stopped talking, secretly looking at Lin Shuyi from behind Lao Yang's head.

Even with a funny apron on, he's so handsome.

But Lin Xiaowan is not old after all, the temptation of a handsome guy is gradually not as strong as the strong fragrance in the air, Lin Xiaowan turned her head, sniffed, "It smells so good, is it okay?"

Lin Shuyi shook her head, "The meat is definitely not ready yet, but the eggs are already cooked, if Xiaowan wants to eat, she can grab two of them."

Lin Xiaowan looked at her grandma as if begging, Old Yang said with a smile, "Look what your grandma is doing, if you want to eat it, go for it, it's not something expensive."

Lin Xiaowan happily responded, and took a small plate to scoop up the marinated eggs.

It was really like what Lin Shuyi said, because the eggs were not marinated for a long time, so even though the outside was already red in sauce, the inside was still the original color of the eggs, but I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, Lin Xiaowan just felt that Lin Shuyi It's even better than the ones sold outside.

After chewing and swallowing the two eggs slowly, Lin Xiaowan straightened up.

"Brother Xiaoyi should open another restaurant here. It doesn't sell anything else, just sell some lo mei. My classmates and I will definitely come to join us every day." Lin Xiaowan laughed loudly while eating.

Lin Shuyi and Shen Fu smiled indifferently, they didn't mean to take this sentence seriously at all.

Lin Xiaowan's words made her grandma laugh, "What? You don't want to eat the food at home. Is it delicious? If it is delicious, grandma will come and buy some tomorrow. In this weather, get some sauced beef and more garlic. Chili is best eaten with dipping."

Lin Shuyi rolled his eyes and agreed with her words.

Old Yang smiled, "It's all from the villagers, what else do you buy? If you want to eat, just come and eat tomorrow. It just so happens that Lao Chen is also here, so you all come to eat. How about Xiaoyi's craftsmanship?"

The woman smiled and said yes, and walked out after she finished speaking.

Lin Xiaowan also waved to Lin Shuyi, but unfortunately Lin Shuyi's attention was all on the chocolate mousse cup on the table, and he didn't have the leisure to look at Lin Xiaowan at all.

Lin Xiaowan left frustrated, and Shen Fu laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, let's go, go in and see how your lo mei is doing? Xiao Wan made me want to eat it too."

Lin Shuyi rolled his eyes at him, if Shen Fu ate a little more, the pot would be finished before it was cooked.

It turned out to be exactly what Lin Shuyi said, the stewed meat was soaked in the soup pot all night, at noon the next day, Lin Shuyi fished out some beef and sliced it, cut the eggs in half, and fished out some dried fragrant and chicken feet , asked Uncle Chen and Lao Yangtou who were invited to have wine and eat together. As a result, sharp-eyed people saw the food as soon as it was put out. They tasted it and said it was delicious. One person gave a little, but it turned out that a large pot of lo mei could not withstand the delivery, and the end was seen.

Lao Chen picked up his chopsticks and dipped a very thin slice of beef into the garlic and chili, and brought up the old story again, "Xiaoyi stew is so delicious, why don't you write this in the menu, there must be more People buy it."

Old Yang shook his head, "Forget it, just making these noodles is exhausting enough, how could Xiaoyi make so many things."

Old Chen also shook his head, "That really failed Xiaoyi's skill."

"It's up to him. If he wants to mess with me, he will support him."

Shen Fu heard the words and looked at Lin Shuyi, Lin Shuyi shook his head, he didn't want to open any restaurant, especially he didn't want Xiqin Restaurant to become a place dominated by him.
