After the second dish was served, all the shopkeepers breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if it’s someone you don’t know, it would be too shameless.
Fortunately, this dish looks like ordinary boiled woid.
The so-called cabbage is the cabbage we were talking about first.
There is a record in "Tang Materia Medica" that there are three kinds of Chinese cabbage, namely tripe cabbage, purple cabbage and white cabbage. In fact, they are three kinds of vegetables.
It was also one of the main vegetables in the Tang Dynasty.
And cooking woks can be regarded as the most popular cooking method.
To be honest, the dish just now was too amazing. Although everyone recognized this boiled wok dish at a glance, many people were still a little disappointed.
In other words, there is a sense of gap, which is probably the same as the first dish we serve is a king crab, and then after finishing the meal, the next dish is a dish of fried shredded potatoes.
But when the shopkeepers picked up the cabbage and put it into their mouths, their expressions changed again.
How careless!
I thought it was just ordinary boiled cabbage, but when I took it into my mouth, I realized that it was not cooked.
Because the texture of the cabbage is still crunchy, and they have just realized now that if it is cooked, the color of the leaves will start to turn yellow, and it should never be so green.
And there is another mystery under the water chard.
This is actually a plate of stir-fried cabbage with white jade mushrooms.
Because there were too few vegetables in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Ping specially bought all kinds of vegetables this time. He originally planned to feed several people in his family for a month, but now he made them in one day just for today.
Again, for people from the Tang Dynasty who have never eaten stir-fried vegetables, this is indeed a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow.
The crispness of the cabbage and the fragrance of the white jade mushroom buried underneath give everyone a different experience.
Moreover, this dish is first sauteed with onions and garlic in oil, and then after it is cooked, soy sauce, MSG and other condiments are added to enhance the flavor and freshness.
So it looks ordinary on the surface, but once the shopkeepers eat it, their taste buds are once again conquered.
And they are more interested in this dish than the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
After all, no one has ever seen tomatoes, and no one knows where to get them.
It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. If you can’t get tomatoes, the dish just now is useless. It’s useless to learn how to make it, because you don’t have the raw materials.
But this dish is different. Although there is no white jade mushroom, mushrooms are not too rare.
The taste of other edible mushrooms should be pretty much the same. In addition, this wok is even more common. If you learn this dish, it will naturally be good for everyone's business.
At this time, the more thoughtful shopkeeper had already guessed that the reason why this dish tastes different from the eggs we usually make must be because of the different cooking methods.
Many shopkeepers have begun to regret that they did not bring the chefs from their stores today. After all, those people are the ones who squat in the kitchen all year round.
If they were allowed to try these dishes, they would be able to guess how they were made.
What's more, he has secretly picked two cabbage stalks from the plate and put them into his arms.
I'm thinking about letting the chef in my restaurant try it when I get back to my restaurant to see if they can find a way to recreate the taste.
Of course Tang Ping saw all these little tricks, but he didn't stop them. Without an iron pot and the ability to use cooking oil, it would still be difficult to replicate similar cooking.
Later, Mapo Tofu and twice-cooked pork were served, which surprised the shopkeepers of these restaurants and made them even more curious about the mysterious chef who did not appear.
As for the last soup, Tang Ping repeated his same trick again. Salt was added to the bowl of vegetable soup, but no MSG was added.
Just put a small paper bag in each tray with a little MSG in it.
The restaurant owners who originally thought that this soup would be different found that it was actually an ordinary wok soup.
But soon someone discovered the small paper package inside the tray.
"What's this?"
"I don't know. It looks like salt, but it's different."
"What does it mean to put it in this tray? Do you want to put it in the soup?"
At this time, Tang Ping came out and bowed his hands to everyone: "I would like to trouble you all to make this trip today because I plan to do this MSG business with you."
"MSG?"
"Is this it? Can you eat it?"
"MSG means the essence of flavor. Of course you can eat it. You can try it first. What's the difference between the wok soup with MSG and the one just now?"
"The Essence of Flavor? That's a big name!" Fatty Liu put the MSG in the small paper bag into the soup.
Take another scoop with a spoon.
"Hmm..." Fatty Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, fresh! So fresh!
The person named Tang Ping didn't know where he came from, but he was able to ask the second son of the Cui family to post a post for him and invite everyone to come. He must have an unusual background.
But he was just a shopkeeper, and Tang Ping's identity had little to do with him.
What he cares about is the thing called MSG in front of him!
Fatty Liu turned out to be a cook, and his cooking skills were mediocre, but his behavior was smooth. Later, he gradually became the shopkeeper of Bazhenlou.
Each major restaurant in Chang'an has its own characteristics. For example, the wine at Wangshu Tower is outstanding. When it comes to which restaurant in Chang'an city has the best wine, everyone agrees that Wangshu Tower is the best.
And Bazhen Tower occupies a unique character!
Their dishes are all about freshness. Now that I've had this water spinach soup, I think about the other dishes I just ate. If nothing else, some of this stuff called MSG is added to it. No wonder it always tastes a little bit different. There is a strange fragrance in it.
As one of the big restaurants in Chang'an, Bazhenlou can make such a fresh soup, can it?
Of course it works, but the cost and ingredients are extremely high, and just a small amount of the thing called MSG in front of you can make such a big bowl of fresh soup.
Buy it, you must buy it!
Fatty Liu secretly made a decision in his heart, not because this thing has a great effect on Bazhenlou, but because if someone else buys this thing, it will have a great impact on Bazhenlou!
It is impossible for Bazhenlou to say that after buying MSG, they would lower the quality and replace the fresh soup that was originally made with chicken, sheep, mushrooms, etc. with this MSG.
But Bazhenlou doesn't know how to do it, which doesn't mean other restaurants can't. If other restaurants can make soup that is worse than Bazhenlou using only this MSG, then his only advantage in the Chang'an restaurant industry will become Of course not.
Fatty Liu understands this. Who among the people present doesn’t?
Some shopkeepers even subconsciously looked at Fatty Liu.
