The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

Lin Xi rolled up his sleeves and walked to the cabinet to choose what he wanted. "Mr. Zhao, the recipes are so important. I don't need to say more, right?"

Zhao Dequan's expression changed and he smiled slightly: "Of course."

Lin Xi took a few eggplants, then looked back at Zhao Dequan and Chef Zhao, and said, "Before we confirm the cooperation, if you guys see my unique recipe, can it still be called unique?"

Her eyes moved slightly and fell on Chef Zhao.

"You also said that you are a well-informed chef. I am afraid that you can memorize my recipes exactly after reading it once. I don't dare to underestimate you. Now I'm going to start, so I'll invite you two

Please go out and stay for a while."

Today, Lin Xi's mood is really not good. She even laughs but doesn't have the energy to laugh. She looks extremely serious.

Zhao Dequan was also a good person. He realized that Lin Xi had no intention of continuing to practice Tai Chi with them, so he didn't say anything and simply asked Chef Zhao to go out.

Chef Zhao found it incredible and said, "In charge of affairs, are you just going to listen to that Miss Lin?"

The guests in the lobby had almost left. Zhao Dequan found an empty table and sat down, and called the waiter to serve a pot of hot tea.

He poured himself a cup and said, "What if you don't listen? Do you really want to stay in the kitchen and watch Miss Lin cook?"

"Not really."

Chef Zhao is a cook himself. If he has a unique recipe, he will definitely not want anyone to see it when he cooks it.

Zhao Dequan took a sip of tea, looked towards the kitchen, and said, "Then just wait slowly."

People came and started cooking. Whether it would succeed or not would depend on whether Lin Xi could make him a unique dish.

If he could, even if Lin Xi could not do what she had promised in the future, his efforts today would not be in vain.

Thinking of the "dividends" mentioned by Lin Xi, Zhao Dequan had an idea and called a waiter, "Go to the nearby villages and counties to find out who this Miss Lin is."

He was not a fool. After he went back that day, he thought about "dividends" carefully and found that it was infinitely subtle, and the risks and benefits involved were immeasurable. If it could be used properly, it would definitely be of great help to him.

Therefore, he plans to treat this cooperation with Lin Xi as an experiment. If it succeeds, he wants to apply the "dividend sharing" method to other businesses.

Before trying it, it is better to have a clear understanding of the allies who are with you.

Zhao Dequan was very confused. Just from these few days of contact, he felt that Lin Xi was not an ordinary person. Then why had he not heard of such a prominent figure in nearby villages and counties before?

…

In the back kitchen.

Lin Xi picked and picked and quickly selected the ingredients he wanted to use.

What she wanted to make were two famous dishes of later generations, one was braised eggplant and the other was Dongpo pork.

After this period of time to adapt to this era, Lin Xi found that this era is still very different from the era she lived in. Food is the most important thing for people, so the difference in food is very big.

For example, in terms of preferences, Lin Xi prefers spicy food, but there are no chili peppers in this era, and she has never heard of any ingredients with the same or similar taste as substitutes.

There is also the method of braised in soy sauce. Lin Xi came to Ke Yun Restaurant several times, and it was always when the restaurant was overcrowded. She deliberately paid attention to the famous dishes in Ke Yun Building, and found that there was basically no braised recipe. The first time she gave Shen Chen and the others

When making braised pork, they were even more surprised, as if they had never eaten it before, and they liked it very much.

Furthermore, there are not many ways to cook vegetables. As we all know, stir-frying, frying, frying, roasting, stewing, stewing, steaming, marinating, mixing, etc. are all food recipes. Very ordinary potatoes can be made in various ways.

A table full of potatoes with completely different tastes, let alone other dishes?

But the methods here are a bit simple and not much.

Lin Xi can actually understand this.

Before Qin Taizu, the world was also in chaos. It was a luxury for the people to fill their bellies and survive. How could they spend their time enjoying themselves?

After Qin Taizong, the world was not stable for long. The people were struggling to live a good life. They also had no time to pursue how to make delicious food. It was a waste of the people's energy. Now the people can do it every day.

I feel very satisfied after eating everything.

Therefore, there is an old saying that is very true. Only when the warehouse is rich can you know etiquette; only when you have enough food and clothing can you know the honor and disgrace.

Lin Xi sighed and made braised eggplant.

She chose this dish first because it is a traditional delicacy and is very popular among the public. Jia Sixie of the Northern Wei Dynasty recorded a method of roasting eggplant in the vegetarian chapter of Qi Min Yao Shu.

Wen notes: "Method for making eggplant: If the eggplant is not mature, it will not be good if the eggplant is mature. Use a bamboo knife and a bone knife to break it in four quarters. Use iron to make the eggplant black. Use the soup to remove the fishy smell. Finely chop the green onion into white, boil it in oil to make it fragrant, and then add some soy sauce to it.

Good. The fragrant sauce is clear, the green onion is white, and it is mixed with the eggplant. When it is cooked, add the minced pepper and ginger." It can be seen from the record that the method is precise.

But it was obviously impossible to make it so precise now, so Lin Xi added an appropriate amount of sugar and soy sauce, supplemented by salt, minced meat, etc. to adjust the taste.

As soon as the smell of braised food came out, the entire kitchen was filled with aroma. Lin Xi's appetite was whetted by the smell, and he couldn't help but take a few bites with a small bowl. Sure enough, the ingredients in the restaurant are all available, so you can make it any way you want, and it's better than making it at home.

tasty.

People outside in the lobby also smelled the aroma.

Any guests who had not left immediately turned around and asked in surprise: "Boss, what are you doing behind here? Why does it smell so good?"

"Yes, yes! What kind of dish is this? Why don't you seem to have eaten it before!"

It took Zhao Dequan and Chef Zhao a while to realize that it must be the aroma of the food Lin Xi was cooking, and they were immediately speechless.

Zhao Dequan hurriedly replied to the guest: "This is the new dish we are trying today."

"New dish? How to sell it? Bring it over quickly and let us try it!" A customer couldn't help but say.

Zhao Dequan was overjoyed.

Recipes are valuable only when the guests like them.

He coughed twice and declined politely, but the guests were even more itchy after smelling the fragrance.

In the back kitchen, Lin Xi has already started cooking Dongpo Pork.

Dongpo Pork was named after the famous Su Dongpo, and the preparation is much simpler. First, wash a good piece of pork belly, pour water to set it, and then cut the pork belly into large pieces. Before putting the pork belly into the pot,

Spread the onion and ginger on the bottom of the casserole, then place the meat pieces skin-side down in the casserole, pour in the sugar, rice wine, and soy sauce ingredients, first bring to a boil over high heat, and then simmer over low heat for nearly an hour.

After stewing, take out the meat and put it into a bowl with a lid. This is not done yet. It needs to be steamed in the steamer for another two quarters of an hour before it is completely cooked.

The method is simple, but it takes a long time, so it requires a lot of patience.

Lin Xi ate some braised eggplant while waiting, and left half of it for Zhao Dequan and Zhao Chu outside to taste. After thinking about it, it was not boring. But the two people outside were really waiting.

From the initial anxiety and suspicion, to the unexpected expectation, and then to the surprise and impatience of smelling the aroma of Dongpo meat, they could not sit still and frequently looked at the kitchen.
