Su Tang rushed early, but did not go to buy vegetables, but handed the list to Master Hao and asked Master Hao to help him buy.
Otherwise she will be surrounded.
Master Hao looked at the ingredients and said directly: "Master, do you want to make vegetarian food?"
Master Hao has also been a master chef for many years, and he knows what Su Tang is going to do when he looks at the ingredients.
Su Tang nodded: "Yes, it's a vegetarian meal. The restaurant will reopen in a few days after finishing the ceremony, and prepares for a thank-you banquet."
The thank-you banquet was to thank Lingyin Temple for keeping up with Qingguan for helping them do things. After all, they didn't charge anything or say anything, and it helped them make a name for themselves.
If the Xicheng restaurant was famous in the past, it is a blessed place now because of its high quality and low price!
Who doesn't like to rub the blessed land.
As soon as Master Hao heard that Xicheng Restaurant had reopened, he immediately cheered up.
In the past few days, the people in their store have been repairing the Xicheng restaurant, painting everything inside and out, and the new custom-made tables from the owner will also be sent over.
When the time comes, the Xicheng Restaurant will take on a new look, and everyone will be able to continue working.
It's not that the guys in Xicheng Restaurant like to work so much, it's just that they don't have such a good job because they are afraid that Xicheng Restaurant will close.
The owner is good, the person in charge is good, and the wages are high, who doesn't like it.
So everyone is working hard for the reopening of Xicheng Restaurant.
Su Tang didn't even need to find a professional person to repair it. There were dozens of them, and each of them could help. After all, who hasn't repaired the house at home.
Master Hao also helped out, but he couldn't help being excited when he heard that the restaurant had reopened.
"Don't worry, I will definitely buy the freshest ingredients and deliver them to your small courtyard." Master Hao said hastily, "To entertain eminent monks and Taoist priests, do we have to wash all our pots and pans? ?”
"Definitely, otherwise they won't be used to it." Su Tang said, "Master Hao, if you are free, please invite two other cooks to come to the small courtyard together, and call five help cooks, let's cook a vegetarian meal together Try the dishes. We will definitely be busy together on the day of the appreciation banquet."
Master Hao immediately agreed: "I'm sure I'm free, I'll call someone over in a while, don't worry, my boss."
Su Tang nodded, feeling emotional in her heart, as expected, people are only happy when they do what they like.
Thinking back to when she first met Master Hao, she always felt that he was cynical and disliked everything, but now she lives comfortably and has a much better temper.
After Su Tang left, the whole back kitchen gathered around, wanting to see what the boss wanted to buy.
They can't wait to get ready to cook!
But Master Hao said: "The boss said, only a few of us will be allowed to go there, and we will pick five help cooks, and the rest will still be in the Xicheng Restaurant waiting for the house to be repaired."
"In the past?" one of the chefs exclaimed, "Shall we go to the owner's yard?"
"Yes, my boss said, let us help with the vegetarian cooking. She has already ordered the recipe." After Master Hao finished speaking, the rest of the people immediately understood what it meant.
In other words, as long as you go to the owner's place, you can learn how to make vegetarian food!
Still learn from Dongjia!
What is the identity of the owner
She has entered the top ten in the God of Cooking Competition!
She is one of the ten most powerful cooks in the entire capital.
Among other things, their Master Hao Quankun and Master Hao entered the top 50 at the beginning. With such a ranking, Master Hao's cooking skills far surpassed all the chefs in the store.
It is conceivable how good the craftsmanship of the owner is.
Forget about the former old employees, they have tasted the master's craftsmanship.
But many new employees don't know it.
Now that the boss has the opportunity to cook in person, they all want to go and have a look!
If you can learn a little bit, then you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
So these places become very important.
Master Hao in the store, plus the three chefs, they will definitely go, of course, how to choose the remaining five chefs!
Now there are more than a dozen helpers in the store.
Master Hao was not good at this kind of thing, so he had no choice but to say: "I'm going to go to Li Fan to buy vegetables now, you can discuss it, let me know if anyone wants to go."
"But we all want to go!"
"Yeah! I want to go!"
"This is an opportunity to help the boss."
"Learn from the owner, we all want to."
But Master Hao has already dragged Li Fan away, he is the last person to deal with these matters, let them fight for themselves!
The guys watched the chefs discuss very lively, and couldn't help but see how they would choose.
After all, it's their job to help cook, and they can't get involved.
While repairing the house, the people in the Xicheng restaurant were thinking about who would help the owner. Of course, they didn't dare to do some dirty tricks, after all, the owner hated it the most.
And the three stewards in the store don't like this kind of style.
The three stewards are naturally Mr. Accountant, Li Fan, the steward of the clerk, and Master Hao.
The three of them are getting dividends from the restaurant, and they will stop anything that is not good for the restaurant.
The accountant saw that they were not paying attention, so he simply said: "Why don't you vote and write five names, but you are not allowed to write your own. Whoever gets the most votes will go to the boss's gang of cooks."
This is a good idea!
More than a dozen kitchen helpers took action immediately.
Su Tang didn't know that his words made the restaurant in Xicheng boil.
She will be cleaning the big kitchen of the small restaurant with Aunt Zhou and the others.
On weekdays, she cooks meals for herself and her younger brother in the small kitchen. Since there are many people coming today, she will naturally occupy the kitchen of the earlier shop.
Su Tang, Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's daughter-in-law were cleaning and chatting together.
"Aunt Zhou, Zhou Cong has gone to Confucian Academy now? How does it feel?" Su Tang asked curiously.
After all, it is a well-known private school in the capital, so going to school there must be different.
When Aunt Zhou mentioned this, she laughed until she couldn't see her eyes: "Thanks to my boss for borrowing more money, otherwise it would not be enough. Anyway, food and use are not cheap, and I have to buy a lot of books. But the master is very good." Yes, I heard that there are still high officials in the Imperial Academy."
"That's good. Last time I saw our master in Xicheng, he praised Xiao Cong for being amazing." Su Tang praised.
They were talking, Wang Wu's daughter-in-law whispered: "Actually, I also have a happy event to say."
Su Tang and Aunt Zhou looked at her, only to see that she was full of embarrassment.
"I'm pregnant. I just saw the doctor yesterday. It's only two months old."
Wang Wu's daughter-in-law and Wang Wu have been married for several years, but they have never had children. Because of this incident, Wang Wu's mother-in-law and sister-in-law have been running on her.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wu's wife not only found a good job, but also had a child now.
It's all a good thing.
Su Tang is also willing to see the employees live better and better.
But now that Wang Wu's daughter-in-law is pregnant, another matter has to be brought up. She wanted to say it before, and now the business of the shop will be good, or else two more people will be recruited.
Anyway, the salary can be taken care of.
Her family's breakfast shop is simply her basic market, which is very stable.
As soon as Su Tang came up with this idea, Wang Wu's daughter-in-law's face immediately changed: "Boss, although I'm pregnant, I can still work, don't worry."
Su Tang was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "It's not that I want to drive you away, but the store is also busy now, and I wanted to recruit people. Besides, you have a dividend from our store, will I let you go?"
This made Wang Wu's daughter-in-law instantly relieved. After all, many things are inconvenient for pregnant people, but she is not afraid. She can do any farm work if asked.
But Aunt Zhou thought a little more: "Even if we need to recruit, one more recruit should be enough, why do we need to recruit two more?"
After all, their store is not big, and a large number of people came from Dongcheng to buy breakfast for the owner's house, and they basically took the breakfast back, so there was no need to say hello.
Su Tang said his decision: "Aunt Zhou, do you want to move to Dongcheng with me? I want to open a breakfast shop like this in Dongcheng, and it is also close to Zhou Cong's private school."
Zhou Cong's private school said it was in the south of the city, but it was still very close to Dongcheng. After all, most of the students who went to school there were from Dongcheng.
"It's just that the cost over there is also high, and opening a store is from scratch, so it may be more difficult." After Su Tang finished speaking, she said to Wang Wu's wife, "When the store over there opens, the store here will rely on you Yes, of course the wages will be raised for you too, it depends on what you think."
If the two of them are unwilling to change, that's okay.
She can recruit people from scratch, Su Tang actually discovered that there are actually many women in the capital who are willing to work hard.
Let’s not talk about the shop earlier, the women who wash dishes in the restaurant in Xicheng, all of them work hard.
It shouldn't be difficult for her to recruit people.
This will be said, and it is also time for Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's wife to think about it.
Su Tang wanted to open a breakfast shop in Dongcheng, not only Sun Qiaoshan and the others persuaded her, but she also saw it.
Every time she comes to help out at the early shop, she can see many people queuing here.
Most of them are women and servants from the east city, who come all the way to buy something for the host's house and go home early. Sometimes they also have a bite and then go back.
And every time she goes to help, there must be a young lady who asks her to open another shop, so that she doesn't have to travel so far.
She had heard such words countless times, and this time she was finally about to act.
Besides, there were so many people who came to buy breakfast that the carriages could block the entrance of their store.
Since so many people want to eat it, is it reasonable to open another branch
There is no need for customers to go back and forth for more than an hour just to buy a breakfast.
Su Tang suddenly felt that his professionalism seemed to suddenly rise!
They have opened a branch for the early shop!
She is also amazing.
Su Tang brags in his heart for a while, the kitchen is also going to be cleaned, and the smell of meat is also removed, after all, it is a vegetarian meal.
The taste of Su Zhai is very special. Unlike other meals, there are no big ingredients, including onion and garlic.
Ginger can be a little bit.
Su Zhai tastes light, but has aftertaste.
This fragrance is like the most natural rice fragrance, rice fragrance, natural taste.
It is too difficult to highlight such a taste without making the food feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, the first step is to remove the oily smell of all kitchen utensils.
After all, I used to cook meat dishes for many years, so it was inevitable that I was contaminated.
But after finishing all this, Aunt Zhou and Wu Wang's wife didn't leave either. The men who came came after a while, and the two of them stayed with the host.
Su Tang was grateful in his heart, and silently wrote it down.
After a while, Master Hao led the four chefs of the Xicheng Restaurant to follow. After all, there were eight or nine people, and they looked mighty and mighty. Many people asked them what they were doing in the past.
Master Hao, who usually likes to have a cold face, also smiled: "Our boss has researched new dishes, so let us help."
Wow, Xicheng Restaurant actually researched new dishes!
I look forward to it even more.
Now the Xicheng restaurant has become a weather vane. The Xicheng restaurant makes roasted fish, and many box lunches have also started to cook roasted fish.
Fortunately, the people in Xicheng Restaurant are always generous and don't care about these things.
Many small shops selling boxed lunches can also eat mixed meals.
I don't know what delicious food Xicheng Restaurant will make this time.
Hurry up and open the business, and they will be able to taste it once it opens.
Su Tang also took out the prepared recipe.
She is going to make eight dishes, two soups, two desserts, and two syrups. The main food is five grain rice and sesame sauce cold skin.
Five-grain rice is very good in both Buddhism and Taoism.
If she does this, both families should like it.
As for the sesame sauce cold skin, except for the garlic that cannot be eaten, the rest can be eaten.
Such delicious food should be promoted!
Among the eight dishes in the menu, there are three cold dishes and five hot dishes.
The cold dishes are red mushrooms mixed with taro flour, gluten mixed with cold sauce, and pickled cucumbers mixed with cold sauce.
It is worth mentioning that the current small red mushroom is also the future Flammulina velutipes, which is of course different from the Flammulina velutipes in the modern population, but it is roughly the same species.
Needless to say, gluten is the food obtained by washing the face.
Courgettes are basically cucumbers, only shorter now, but with the same taste.
These are all classic cold dishes.
But the vegetarian food of Buddhism and Taoism should not have a spicy and stimulating taste, don’t think about onion and garlic, and even white vinegar can only be put in a little bit.
However, it would be much better if there is ginger juice in the cold dish.
The practice of gluten made everyone dumbfounded. They never thought that flour can also be washed.
When the owner asked them to follow suit, everyone was a little surprised.
But the four chefs, including Master Hao, followed suit.
First pour in the flour, add water into the flour, stir along the side, and knead directly into a smooth dough.
This step is nothing, and the master cooks are simply handy.
Even the help cooks can do a good job.
But after waking up the noodles, the next action is confusing. They even add water and keep kneading the flour.
Su Tang said directly: "This is called face washing, and it's almost done after four or five times of washing. Don't pour out the remaining water, it has other functions."
The remaining water is naturally starch water, and starch water can be a kind of food that everyone likes!
That's right, cold skin.
And the noodles that have been washed five times become gluten when they are wrapped around the chopsticks.
I have to say that flour is really amazing, a bag of flour can make countless delicious foods.
After the cold skin and gluten are made, Su Tang uses the most common meal for everyone, that is, seasoned with ginger, garlic and vinegar, mixed with shredded cucumber, cooked mung bean sprouts, cut into pieces of gluten, and fried chili oil With sesame paste, that is a fragrance.
Everyone present gets a bowl.
The aroma of spicy peppers, coupled with the silky texture of Liangpi, has an unusually delicious softness when bitten down.
Not only is the Liangpi delicious, but the small holes in the gluten are soaked in sesame sauce, chili oil, seasoned properly, and you can't stop eating one bite at a time.
Sesame sauce cold skin can really satisfy the needs of various taste buds.
If it’s a vegetarian meal, then just don’t need garlic, and the rest of the food can be eaten by Buddhists and Taoists.
The chili oil is also vegetable oil, and the sesame paste is naturally sesame paste. Needless to say, the cold noodle and gluten are all grain flour, and there is nothing illegal.
Su Tang said: "At that time, we will provide Liangpi for everyone to eat, and gluten can also be used as a cold dish alone, what do you think?"
Master Hao suppressed his excitement: "Of course, such a delicious food is vegetarian."
There is no meat at all!
Su Tang smiled: "There are many ways to eat flour, take your time."
Master Hao nodded, and said solemnly to the people behind: "This is our master's method. If anyone spreads it, they will not be able to stay in the restaurants in the capital."
They have dozens of men working in Xicheng restaurants, and whoever dares to spread the word will not think about it.
At least in Xicheng, don't even think about it.
But those who can be selected as helpers are basically loyal to Xicheng Restaurant.
Not to mention that these five people were voted by everyone, and they are all popular, and everyone knows it.
Su Tang glanced at them, but she didn't say anything, the people around her were really nice.
In fact, after making this sesame sauce cold noodle, Master Hao believes that this banquet is definitely a success.
People like them who work in restaurants find it delicious, and monks and Taoist priests must also like it.
The cold dishes are ready.
It is also simple to mix red mushrooms with taro flour. After the red mushrooms are boiled, the fishy smell of the mushrooms is removed, and the taste of the mushrooms is preserved, and then mixed with taro flour that has been boiled in cold water. The combination of crispy and soft glutinous is especially special tasty.
That is to say, Buddhism and Taoism cannot eat coriander. If Su Tang eats it, she must add some coriander.
That must be more delicious.
Then there are six hot dishes.
But before making hot dishes, Su Tang took out a bunch of mushrooms.
Su Tang explained: "We are going to make shiitake mushroom powder, and use the shiitake mushroom powder as chicken powder."
Both shiitake mushrooms and chicken have the same ingredients, basically to make the food more delicious, which is often called chicken essence in later generations.
In fact, a large amount of chicken essence is already used in Xicheng restaurants, which is also the method taught by Su Tang.
The same method is used for shiitake mushroom extract, which is to bake the shiitake mushrooms without any moisture, then grind them into powder, and put them in a jar for later use.
When cooking, put a little, it will be very delicious.
This is also the way to replace chicken essence.
After the mushroom essence is made, the remaining hot dishes will be much easier to cook.
After all, many vegetarian dishes are not delicious because many seasonings cannot be used. Now it is much simpler.
The six hot dishes are, green pepper tofu puff, vegetarian fried shredded radish meatballs, pumpkin mixed mushroom soup, sweet and sour lotus root steak, pan-fried soft tofu, and dry pot king oyster mushroom.
Each of these six dishes has its own characteristics.
Needless to say, the tofu is soaked in the aroma of green peppers and the seasoning of shiitake mushroom powder, one bite at a time.
Vegetarian fried shredded radish meatballs, first mix the shredded radish with flour, fry it twice in vegetable oil, the fried outside is crispy and the inside is tender, and finally stir-fried on high heat, this is too good for rice.
Pumpkin mixed mushroom cup, first hollow out the middle of the pumpkin, then put various fried fungi into the pumpkin, and then put it on the steamer, the mushrooms inside are also mixed with the sweetness of the pumpkin.
Sweet and sour lotus root steak, lotus root wrapped in flour and deep-fried, then topped with sweet and sour sauce, Su Tang likes to eat this most.
Pan-fried soft tofu is to cut the tofu into rectangles, wrap it with available seasonings, fry it slowly in a hot oil pan until golden, and serve it directly on a plate.
Dry pot Pleurotus eryngii, a classic dry pot method, there is nothing better than this.
The sweet soup is snow pear soup with white fungus, and the salty soup is winter melon and lettuce soup.
Finally, there are two desserts, one is chestnut puree, steamed chestnuts mixed with honey, and put them in cute small bowls, it is estimated that many young novice monks in Lingyin Temple like to eat.
Another dessert is glutinous rice cakes, who wouldn’t like a dessert made of fragrant and soft glutinous rice.
After sitting down with this table of dishes, Su Tang was a little tired.
But the result is also gratifying. If you look at it from a distance, it doesn't look like Su Zhai at all. After all, it is quite beautiful.
And it smells delicious.
A table of vegetarian dishes, both in color and fragrance.
It can be seen how much effort Su Tang has put in.
There are a lot of seasonings in it, which she made on the spot, such as shiitake mushroom essence, which played a big role in these dishes.
The sweet and sour sauce is also made directly, and it is even more delicious when poured on the fried lotus root.
Not to mention the most famous fried staple food, sesame sauce cold skin. Master Hao has already prepared it. He must prepare a lot of sesame sauce cold skin. I always feel that there will be not enough food.
As for the most classic five-grain rice, it may be a little less.
The four chefs present and the five assistant cooks had only one feeling in their hearts, and it was really right to come to help!
The owner's cooking is completely different from theirs, there are always some whimsical ideas, and it really works!
The most important thing is that their boss never hides anything private, and teaches whatever they have.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they have learned more in one afternoon at the boss's house than in the previous six months.
It's not that the previous masters didn't care about teaching, it's just that the master is too powerful!
This table full of dishes was naturally wiped out by everyone, and it was the first time I felt that vegan food was so delicious!
Every dish is delicious!
Aunt Zhou and Wang Wu's daughter-in-law ate and ate, and accidentally ate too much. They were obviously full, but they couldn't help but take a few more bites.
After all, the food is so delicious!
In fact, these people have eaten a lot of good things, after all, the store is a restaurant.
But today's vegetarian meal is another taste.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Su Tang said, "The people from Lingyin Temple and Qingguan will come to the Daoist Temple in the future. I guess they will come here early. Let's have lunch and dinner. I will also Go, but the specific things are still troublesome, the ingredients are prepared in advance, it is estimated that there will be many people going to see things. You can make more and give them to the people around you."
Master Hao agreed immediately, and they will definitely make this thank-you banquet a good one.
After all, the owner has given them such a good recipe, if it is not done beautifully, it will not live up to the reputation of Xicheng Restaurant.
Su Tang also planned in the same way. After all, they are a restaurant, and they must make a name for their cooking. Are they afraid that the business will not be good in the future? That must be impossible.
everything's ready.
Just waiting for the ritual dojo to be completed, their Xicheng restaurant can reopen.
You must know that these days, Su Tang has already spent all the money he earned, so many people in the store are waiting to eat, and so much is spent.
It's better to have her early shop, don't worry about it, and still make money all the time.
Not to mention, when the business of the Xicheng restaurant is over, I must go to Dongcheng to open a similar restaurant to earn money from Dongcheng people!
Su Tang watched them clean the kitchen after eating, and looked at the four boxes of meals left beside them, waiting for Qi Tianyun's people to come and pick them up.
There was such a commotion in her yard, she couldn't believe that Qi Tianyun didn't know about it.
After all, many people in the capital are watching Xicheng Restaurant's every move.
Who made her a blessed place!
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the guard Li who was beside Qi Tianyun came over and asked in a daze, "Miss Su Tang, my master said that you left him food, is it true?"
This will be in the afternoon, not noon or evening, so what kind of meals are left.
Hearing this, Su Tang took a deep breath.
Ah.
Qi Tianyun's guess is really accurate, what exactly is his brain doing!
How did he know that he left food for him!
Thinking so in his heart, Su Tang still asked Li Shiwei to bring all the four big boxes of meals over.
Li Shiwei looked a little dumbfounded, this is too much, is this a banquet
Qi Tianyun, who is still working in the palace, has already moved to the side hall to prepare for eating.
But as soon as he sat in the side hall, Shi Ding immediately followed, and after a while, the commander of the guards followed the little emperor and the future empress, and also sat in the side hall.
They obviously all knew that Su Tang was cooking vegetarian food today, and they also knew that Qi Tianyun had sent someone to fetch the food.
Although the vegetarian dishes in other places are not delicious!
But this is made of Su Tang!
can you come and have a taste
