Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 49: Songhua Egg


Li Erniang’s restaurant was built by the Qinhuai River, next to the river. It is an excellent location. The restaurant is not small in scale. It is a three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings, steep cornices, and a more domineering signboard. In the sky".

Nima, this kind of sign has not been harmonized.

Li Erniang led Ye Jiayao to meet her brother, the owner of this restaurant.

The boss was looking at the menu and ordered his men: "The ingredients must be fresh and well-chosen. Those princes and princes are incomparable to others, and they are very silly."

"Yes." He took the menu and went to work.

Li Erniang called: "Big Brother."

"Yeah, my sister is here." Seeing a young offspring behind her, he asked: "Does your brother-in-law come with you today?"

Li Erniang smiled and said: "Bring you a cook, let him help me today and make some dishes. If you are satisfied, use it."

Ye Jiayao stepped forward to salute: "The shopkeeper Li, Zaixia's surname is Li, Li Yao."

The shopkeeper Li frowned when he saw him at his young age. How could there be such a young cook? However, since it was brought by the second sister, she had to show her face. Anyway, she just said to try, but she didn't have to stay. Conveniently said: "Then you try it! But let me tell the ugly things first. Although our Tianshangju is not the top restaurant in Jinling, it is also famous and requires high chefs."

Ye Jiayao said that he understands that the successful operation of a restaurant includes many factors, such as location, environment, service, marketing methods, etc., but the most important thing is the cuisine. Is the cuisine delicious? Whether to retain the guests, are there any special dishes? Whether you can make a name in the Jinling catering industry, which is as strong as the forest, and stand firm is the key.

Therefore, no matter which restaurant, the chef is very important, and he does not hesitate to pay a lot of money to solicit. The famous chef is the second signature of the restaurant.

Ye Jiayao dare not say that she is the best. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains. What's more, she only came to Jinling and didn’t know much about the food industry here. She could only say, “Thank you, shopkeeper Li. Give me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard."

She must work hard to get this job. A high starting point can save her n years.

The shopkeeper Li had nothing to say, Li Erniang took Ye Jiayao to the kitchen.

The kitchen is in the courtyard behind the restaurant. Ye Jiayao couldn't help being shocked by the scene before her when she entered.

The workbench is more than ten meters long, and more than ten helpers are processing various ingredients. The sound of cutting vegetables one after another, different rhythms are mixed into a percussion music. Further down there is a stove with a dozen large stoves and small stoves. The fire is red. The steaming pot of the big stove is steamed with white mist, and various stocks are stewed on the small stove. The aroma of the whole kitchen is permeated.

Such a scale should be regarded as great in ancient times, and it is worthy of being a big restaurant.

When Li Erniang arrived, everyone greeted her.

Li Erniang nodded, and even if she returned the gift, she rolled up her sleeves and fastened her apron, then handed another apron to Ye Jiayao, which Ye Jiayao quickly fastened.

"What is your best dish?" Li Erniang handed her a restaurant menu.

Ye Jiayao read the menu again. She knows all the dishes on it, but she hasn't tried some of them. Today is an interview for an assessment. Erniang asked her to choose the topic herself, which is already very caring. She is bound to show her housekeeping skills and strive for a pass.

"Vance tofu, crab yellow lion head and popcorn flower." Ye Jiayao said.

She was particular about choosing these three dishes. First of all, today is mainly for assessment. It is impossible for her to cook many dishes, three dishes, neither too many nor too little. Secondly, these three dishes are all the signature dishes of Huaiyang cuisine. Vance Tofu can show her knife skills, crab yellow lion head is more to reflect the skill of seasoning, and popping black flower requires control of the heat, three dishes are enough Reflect the standard of cooking.

Li Erniang's expression is light: "Then I will leave these three dishes to you, let's do it now."

When Ye Jiayao passed the workbench just now, she observed the knives who help the kitchen here. The level is quite high. She has studied for more than five years, but she believes that she is not weak.

Ye Jiayao cleaned her hand and took a piece of soft tofu. As soon as she started it, she felt that the soft tofu here was softer and more flexible than other tofu, similar to egg tofu, and more suitable for making Vance Tofu soup.

When helping the chefs look at this posture, they know that this little brother is here to try his hand today. The original chef Niu was poached by Xiang Yi Lou. Shopkeeper Li is having a headache for this. Fortunately, shopkeeper Li has A girl who is proficient in cooking comes to the rescue. Everyone is curious as to who will replace the chef of Tianshangju.

Everyone stopped for a while and came to watch.

Under the tempering of the modern education system, Ye Jiayao has already experienced many battles and has excellent psychological quality. She took a deep breath, put away all distracting thoughts, calmed her mind, and then decisively took the knife.

Being bend and bend, the blade of the knife touched the Caidun, making a fine and crisp sound, endless.

Everyone sees her hand speed is very fast, but the effect of the cut depends on what the tofu looks like after being dispersed in the water, whether the filaments are complete, and how thin they can be. This is the criterion for judging whether the knife is good.

As soon as the beeping sound stopped, Li Erniang opened a bowl of cool white in front of Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao carefully wiped the cut tofu with the blade of the knife and put it in the cold white boil.

Take a chopstick and gently poke it away.

There is a sound of air-conditioning around.

Behave, it’s just a description that it’s as thin as a hair. It’s a description of the fine craftsmanship of the knife, and the silk is like a thread, but at this moment, the tofu thread that is displayed in front of everyone is uniform in length and thickness, and the thread is like hair.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly praised "Awesome" in their hearts. You know, as long as one of them is wrong, it is impossible to have such an effect.

Li Erniang's eyes flashed with astonishment, Li Xiaoge's knife skills greatly exceeded her expectations, and he had to admit that he was better than her.

Ye Jiayao's nerves are still tense, things are not over yet, the next thing is bamboo shoots.

Tofu is soft and fragile and difficult to cut, while bamboo shoots are crispy and easier to break. It is more difficult to cut to the same thickness as tofu shreds. She has raised the difficulty by more than one level, so the next step is not easy.

When all the ingredients were cut into shreds, Ye Jiayao's back was sweaty, but she finally survived.

In Jing'an Hou's Mansion, Xia Chunyu's maid Qingliu in the house came to ask for instructions on what to eat for lunch today.

What to eat? Xia Chun used to be very particular about this question, but now he seems to be not interested in this word. Lazily said: "Whatever."

Aoyagi was not surprised to receive these two words. It has been seven or eight days since Shi Ziye returned to the house. Every time he asked him what he wanted to eat, the answer was "whatever."

Shi Zi Ye wants to be casual, but the servants dare not do it casually, so Aoyagi ordered the kitchen to cook according to the taste of Shi Zi Ye before, but Shi Zi Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks when he ate something.

This made the people of Yigan very worried. I don’t know if the son of the world is in a physical condition. This incident also disturbed the old lady. He specially invited the imperial physician to diagnose Xia Chunyu’s pulse, which made Xia Chunyu confused. .

Brought over for lunch, a steamed shad, a plate of braised chestnut chicken, pork ribs in Wuxi sauce, braised lion head in brown sauce, and three silk agar-agar soup.

Xia Chunyu looked at the exquisite dishes, especially the lion head, and thought of Yaoyao's dishes.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect. He always feels that no one is making it as delicious as Yaoyao’s. It is Yaoyao who has nourished his stomach and nourishes him, or is it because he only loves her taste.

Looking at Shi Ziye holding the chopsticks for a long time, Aoyagi and Qiao Xi looked at each other, both eyes were worried.

When I came back from this trip, Shi Ziye had lost a lot of weight and was reticent, as if he was very worried.

"Sir..." Song Qi brought a bowl and walked in grinningly.

Xia Chunyu sniffed his nose and frowned, "What did you take? It smells so bad?"

Song Qi smiled, and put the bowl in front of Shi Ziye: "Shi Ziye, this is the Songhua egg brought back from the mountain. Miss Ye pickled it. She said it should be eaten in 45 days. I almost forgot."

Xia Chun raised her eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "She made it? It smells so bad, are you sure you can eat it?"

Not only does this pine flower egg smell stinky, it is also ugly, black, yellow, translucent, with white snowflake-like patterns on it. I have never seen such a strange egg.

Song Qidao: "I haven't tasted it for a small one, but I heard from Miss Ye that this songhua egg is a good thing, it can clear away heat and reduce inflammation, nourish the mind, and it is delicious."

Xia Chunyu looked at the size of the egg and asked: "Duck eggs made it?"

"Yes, it was the duck egg from Aunt Jiang. Ms. Ye heard that Shi Ziye doesn't like duck eggs~IndoMTL.com~ so she pickled the duck eggs into Songhua eggs."

"Since you know I don't eat duck eggs, would you still bring them?" Xia Chunyu said indifferently.

Song Qi's mouth is flat. Since Miss Ye is gone, Shi Ziye hasn't had a good meal. Nothing is fragrant to eat. Today, he suddenly remembered this songhua egg and quickly brought it to Shi Ziye. Taste it, who knows it was rejected.

"The younger one, take it away." Song Qiyi said with surprise.

"Let it go!" Xia Chunyu said blankly.

He thought he would never eat what Yaoyao made in his life, but he didn't expect that she would leave him Songhua eggs. It's made by Yaoyao, even if it tastes bad, you have to eat it!

Xia Chunyu smashed the egg with chopsticks, dipped in some dipping sauce, took a sip, couldn't help but stop.

This thing smells bad and looks ugly, but it tastes delicious and smooth, with a very special taste.

Xia Chunyu ate two eggs and finished a bowl of rice. It seemed that he still had some meaning.

"How many eggs are there?" Xia Chunyu asked.

Song Qi thought for a while: "There are probably twenty or thirty."

Xia Chunyu sighed, there were only twenty or thirty, and they ate after a short while, and they were all gone.

"From now on, I will come one every morning. Rice is not suitable, or porridge is more suitable."

"Hey, the little one gave all the eggs to the kitchen." Song Qi said cheerfully.

Qing Liu and Qiao Xi are both curious, who is that Miss Ye? Why is she still eating such a stinky thing?

"By the way, Shi Ziye, Hou Shizi of Yongan is presenting a banquet in the sky today. I invite you to the banquet. This is an invitation." Song Qi only remembered the business now and took out a post from his arms.

Xia Chun was feeling dispirited, and all kinds of celebration banquets made him exhausted these days, and felt a headache, so he said: "Just say that I am unwell, let's go back!"
