"I'm fine, let's go."

She knew that Fourth Master Zhang was a good person, so she happily followed him into the teahouse in front.

After being seated, Fourth Master Zhang ordered some refreshments, and said straight to the point: "To tell you the truth, I'm the owner of Sihai Restaurant, and I'm very interested in the two dishes you cooked today. Pass the practice to the Four Seas Restaurant, of course, I will not let the girl do things for nothing."

Shen Ruolan shook her head, "Master Zhang, it's not that I'm refusing, if there is no pepper in the boiled pork slices, its deliciousness will be greatly reduced, the same is true for chicken gizzards with cumin, without cumin it's just an ordinary dish The fried chicken, pepper and cumin are all produced in the south, we don’t have them here, so even if you learn it, it will be useless.”

Fourth Master Zhang said with a slight smile: "You don't need to worry about this girl, I have a few friends who are doing business in the south, just ask them to buy it and bring it back."

Hearing this, Shen Ruolan's eyes lit up immediately, and she said eagerly: "You mean you can get things from the south? Then can you ask your friends to bring back more? I want some too, except pepper and cumin , can you bring me some more peppers, don’t need to bring more, just bring me a few seeds, I would like to pass this recipe of boiled pork slices and cumin chicken gizzards to Sihai Restaurant for free as a thank you gift."

"Panjiao? What is Panjiao?" Zhang Siye was puzzled when he heard this name for the first time.

Shen Ruolan explained: "It is a kind of chili pepper, but it is much smaller than the common chili peppers in the north, and the taste is also hotter than our chili peppers. It turns red when ripe, which is both beautiful and delicious!"

Fourth Master Zhang said with a smile: "It's not difficult, I just ask them to help find the girl, but I still have one thing I want to ask the girl, if there is something abrupt, I hope the girl will be happy."

Shen Ruolan paused for a moment, then said: "Master Zhang wants to ask, as a country girl, how can I know the seasonings produced in the south, and how can I cook such delicacies as boiled pork slices and cumin chicken gizzards? Right?"

"Young lady is really smart, I admire her!" Fourth Master Zhang praised her sincerely, which was admitted by the way.

Shen Ruolan's eyes shone brightly, and she said with a smile: "Thank you, Fourth Master Zhang, for your compliment, but it's not convenient for me to answer your question right now. You just need to know that I am a dutiful child, and my family background is clean. I trade, and I will never get into unnecessary trouble."

Fourth Master Zhang glanced at Shen Ruolan in a little astonishment. He didn't expect her to be so smart and transparent, and he could see all the doubts in his heart. Looking at her attitude, she was completely calm and leisurely. That demeanor She doesn't look like an ignorant poor girl in the country at all, but looks like a grown-up with a lot of experience in the world.

Before, he was just a little curious about this little girl who knew seasoning and could cook, but now, he couldn't help showing a little more respect.

Sihai Restaurant is located in the very center of Xinghua Street. It is a two-story building with ink columns and windows, carved beams and painted buildings. The decoration is elegant and elegant, and the dishes are well-known.

The customers who come here to consume are all upper-class people in the county, so the requirements for the dishes are naturally higher than those of ordinary small restaurants. Therefore, as the owner, Zhang Siye has to constantly look for new dishes to cater to the tastes of the guests.

Shen Ruolan was brought into the back kitchen, and found that the back kitchen was very large and clean, with a complete menu of dishes, including all the side dishes for boiled pork slices.

It was just after dinner, and there were not so many customers in the restaurant. Two of the four chefs were idle. Zhang Siye led Shen Ruolan in and introduced her to the two idle chefs. , Let them learn from Shen Ruolan how to make boiled pork slices and cumin chicken gizzards.

The two chefs are well-known cooks in the county, with high reputation and high salary. Seeing Shen Ruolan's scrawny and ragged appearance, they look down on her from the bottom of their hearts. Such a yellow-haired girl must not even have enough to eat at home. , how could it be possible to cook

The boss is also really, I don't know what the two brothers did wrong to torment them like this!

The two of them said nothing, but their attitude towards Shen Ruolan was not very good. One sneered, the other watched coldly. It didn't seem like they were learning how to cook with her, but they seemed to be watching the fun from the sidelines.

Shen Ruolan also saw the contempt and contempt of these two people, but she was here to do business, not to fight with others. She made friends with Mr. Zhang, so there was no reason to be angry for a few unworthy people.

After washing her hands, she began to quickly select ingredients, cut meat, boiled water, mixed rice wine (there is no cooking wine in this world, so rice wine can only be used instead), soy sauce, pepper noodles and starch to marinate, and professionally put some soybean oil, to prevent sticking together.

When doing these things, she first chose to ignore the arrogant attitude of the two fat cooks, and just concentrate on doing things, talking while cooking. The two chefs looked down on her at first, but after seeing her crisp style and skilled knife skills, The attitude is much better than before, at least not repulsive and perfunctory.

Under Shen Ruolan's careful teaching, the two dishes were fully mastered in less than an hour. The red boiled pork slices were filled with red peppers, fungus, bean sprouts, tenderloin slices and a little green vegetables. The color is enough to make people appetite Great news, the fly in the ointment is that the peppercorns in the boiled pork slices are replaced with peppercorns, and the peppers are replaced with ordinary peppers. Although the taste is affected, it is still delicious.

The cumin chicken gizzards were replaced with sesame chicken gizzards. Although it is not as delicious as the authentic ones, it has a special taste. It should be popular for a while when it is promoted.

After the lecture was over, the two chefs who had benefited a lot sent Shen Ruolan out politely, the contempt on their faces had been replaced by admiration.

When he came out, Fourth Master Zhang had already left, and a boy dressed as a second child came forward and said respectfully: "Girl, our boss left beforehand, he said that the girl hadn't eaten at noon, so he told the elegant lady on the second floor I have prepared lunch for the girl, please use it now, and I will take you back after the meal. Our boss also explained that the distance between the north and the south is very far, and the things you ordered with him will not arrive here in a while, please Don't worry, when those things arrive, he will immediately send someone to deliver them to your residence."

Shen Ruolan was a little moved by Zhang Siye's love and care. To be honest, she was really hungry. Although she had some snacks in the teahouse just now, she was brought here before she had time to eat, and taught the two cooks how to cook. When she was eating, she only took one or two bites when tasting the salty taste when the dishes were just out of the pan, and she was not at all full. Now when she heard that there was something to eat, her stomach also started to growl like a 'gurgle'.

Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "Then I'd rather be respectful than follow orders. Please, brother, thank Fourth Master Zhang on my behalf. Fourth Master Zhang has a heart."
