Su Yu's voice was not suppressed when he spoke. There were only four or five tables of guests on the entire first floor. The diners at several tables nearby looked at Su Yu in unison. The shopkeeper at the counter frowned slightly, noticed the movement here, and stepped forward to wave. Let the guys go about their business.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense."
Su Yu blinked her big innocent eyes, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.
"I'm not lying. The food in your restaurant is indeed not as delicious as my mother's food."
Su Laoer felt very guilty. His daughter didn't blush at all when she lied. The dish her mother cooked was delicious. Compared with what she just ate, it was for people to eat. However, Su Laoer just thought about this in his heart and would never dare to say it in front of Mrs. Lian.
Because his daughter told him just now that she would not let him interrupt no matter what she said later, she stood aside and watched. Su Sheng wanted to step forward and say a few words, but he stopped him. To his daughter, Su Sheng The second child has a kind of blind confidence.
The shopkeeper's face looked bad now.
Su Yu knew how to look and spoke quickly before the shopkeeper was about to get angry.
"If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, I can go to the kitchen and stir-fry the dishes I just ate to see if it's better cooked by me or by the chef in your restaurant."
The customers at the surrounding tables stopped eating and were all watching the excitement. Before the shopkeeper could agree, one of the customers spoke first.
"Business Manager Niu, don't you bother letting her try it? If the dishes she cooks later can't compare with Taihelou, then you're just kicking yourself in the ass. It won't be something you can do easily by then."
The shopkeeper immediately recognized the speaker. He was Xu Yuanwai from the town. His family had a small amount of assets. Most of the money he earned in a year was spent on food and drink. He was a frequent visitor to Taihe Building. When Xu Yuanwai spoke, he still had face. He had to give it, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago based on what the little girl in front of him said. Taihe Building is considered a well-established brand in the town. A little girl will not have any effect on the business of the building.
The shopkeeper had the same idea as the waiter just now. He felt that the father and son were other competitors sent to the restaurant to find trouble.
"Yang Si, you take people to the kitchen. As for the other two, just wait in the lobby."
When he heard that he couldn't follow his daughter, Su Laoer suddenly became anxious.
"Girl!"
Su Yu gave his father a comforting look.
"Dad, you and big brother wait here. I'll be back in a minute."
After saying that, they left with the waiter generously. They were led by the waiter who had greeted them when they entered the store. They had some prejudices in their hearts. They didn't want to talk to Su Yu at all. Su Yu didn't mind at all and followed the waiter to the kitchen obediently. .
"You wait here first."
Su Yu was asked to wait at the door. The waiter went in and whispered a few words next to the one-year-old cook. Su Yu didn't hear what he said clearly, but he could guess it if he thought about it.
Sure enough, the cook looked at her with a very unkind look.
"Let people in."
"Girl, please."
Chef Chen was very busy and had no time to talk to Su Yu.
"You cook in the stove on the right. If you need anything, Mrs. Li can get it for you."
After the man finished speaking, the one-year-old woman stepped forward, and it was probably Mrs. Li.
The clerk explained a few words and then went to talk to an acquaintance. It was obvious that he didn't take Su Yu seriously, so Su Yu didn't care.
"Grandma Li, Su Fan will help you prepare. I will make three fresh shredded pork and Jiubao chicken later."
Seeing Granny Li going to prepare, Su Yu dug out the small cloth bag he carried with him and found two paper bags. One had a flower painted on it, and the other had a grass painted on it. Only Su Yu understood the meaning above. I mean, it contains the seasonings she carefully prepared for roast duck.
Three fresh shredded pork and Jiubao chicken are the signature dishes of Taihe House. As you can imagine, the number of orders ordered by customers every day will definitely not be small. The kitchen prepared it early in the morning. Mrs. Li just took what Su Yu needed and put it on the stove. Next to the stage.
"Girl, everything you want is here."
"Can you please help my mother-in-law light the fire?"
Mrs. Li didn't say anything and sat at the door of the stove to light the fire. She was obviously a man of few words.
The stove on the right is a backup stove for the kitchen. It is usually only used in the evening when we are busy. It is just morning now, and the cold pots and stoves are waiting to be cooked.
Su Yu waited aside, and found a small bench during the process. The stoves here are all made according to the height of adults. She is young and short, and it is difficult to lift the stove, so she can only find a bench to weigh it.
After the pot is hot, Su Yu quickly heats up the oil. When the oil is eighty percent hot, pour the seasoning into the pot and stir-fry for a few times. Then pour in the shredded pork and stir-fry. Then sprinkle with salt. The seasoning Su prepared by the restaurant is I'm not very satisfied with the fish. It's not even a bit worse than modern ones, but it's still usable. The last key is to sprinkle the seasonings she brought and stir-fry a few times to bring out the flavor.
After the first dish of three fresh pork shreds is fried, Su Yu brushes the pan and heats up the oil, and starts making the second dish of Jiubao Chicken. In fact, the cooking steps are similar to those of the chefs in the back kitchen of restaurants. Only the last step is sprinkled with the seasonings brought by oneself. It just doesn't taste that way.
The seasoning was found in Yujia Village. To be honest, Su Yu was surprised when he saw it, but after thinking about it, he didn't find it strange. Yujia Village is the largest among the villages surrounding Xinglin Town, with more than a hundred households in the village. , two-thirds of the villagers are named Yu. I heard that there are people in Yujia Village who are officials in Kyoto. Uncle Yu said he is a village doctor, but with the dazzling array of medicinal materials at home, Su Yu is sure that Uncle Yu’s medical skills are definitely not shallow, but Why did Su Yu live in Yujia Village as a small village doctor? Su Yu didn't want to go into it. Everyone has their own secrets. Su Yu always kept in mind the saying that curiosity killed the cat, especially when he came here. In ancient times, don’t be too curious about anything.
I bought four or five medicinal herbs from Uncle Yu, but they were used to make seasonings in later generations. I ground them into powder and put them in a small bag each. Thinking that I was going to town today, Su Yu simply brought them with me. Unexpectedly, they were actually sent. use.
"alright."
The waiter took the tray and carried the two dishes to the lobby. He walked in front with a heavy heart. Su Yu followed behind as obediently as when he came.
In the lobby, seeing the two people coming, many people looked this way. None of the guests left, they all wanted to see what was going on behind them.
After the waiter placed the two dishes on the middle table, Su Yu looked at Shopkeeper Niu.
"The shopkeeper might as well give it a try and see how my two dishes compare to those made in your restaurant?"
The shopkeeper didn't say anything. He picked up the chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew carefully. The expression on his face remained the same as before, and his heart was already in a state of turmoil.
Their Taihe Building is not only open in Xinglin Town, but also in Xingyang Prefecture and surrounding cities. The main store is even opened in Kyoto. The shopkeepers are not fixed in one place. They go to various places in rotation and look for trouble when encountering them. It is even more commonplace. But in the two dishes in front of him, Shopkeeper Niu felt a sense of crisis. There was a flavor that he couldn't describe. He guessed that some kind of seasoning was added. The restaurant's back kitchen didn't have any. It was obviously brought by the few people in front of him. , that is, the original taste of the food is retained, and with the blessing of seasonings, to be honest, the taste is indeed better than what the previous chef made.
The shopkeeper didn't say anything for a long time. Xu Yuanwai, who was standing by the side, couldn't wait any longer. He asked the waiter for a pair of chopsticks and stepped forward to taste the two dishes in front of him.
As soon as the food was in his mouth, Xu Yuanwai's eyes lit up.
"good!"
