There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 6 The Charm of Stir-Fried Vegetables

Enough of letting them watch jokes, now it's time to get down to business.

Standing in front of everyone, Li Chu bowed halfway to the surrounding neighbors, clasped his fists, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your love and concern, I am very warm and happy, I would like to thank you all.

You don't care about what is written on it, it's just for everyone to laugh.

Today is the grand opening day of this small restaurant I got. Thanks to all the folks who came to join in the fun, I am very grateful. Now, I announce that this unknown small restaurant of mine is officially open. "

As soon as Li Chu's words fell, Axiu took a whip and beat it on the open space, making crackling sounds.

Li Chu's small restaurant has officially opened.

At the same time, Li Chu also received a task from the customization system:

The first pot of gold: The host is asked to earn at least consistent money within one day. Task reward: 10 custom coins. If the quota is exceeded, the reward of custom coins will be increased. Failure penalty: none.

Entering the catering industry as the number one scholar: ask the host to earn consistent money in the catering field, task reward: 5 custom coins, failure penalty: none.

Rise to Fame: Mission Objective: 1000 people know the name of the Host, Mission Reward: 100 Custom Coins.

There are three tasks coming at once. Li Chu guessed right. The tasks issued by the system are closely related to the living conditions here, and are completely affected by the environment and things.

The difficulty of the task is not very high, Li Chu is very confident.

After Axiu's whip cracked ten times, no one in the crowd came to order, which made Li Chu very embarrassed...

At this time, the thin old man in the crowd squeezed in, walked up to Li Chu, and said warmly: "Xiao Chu, if you have anything to eat here, just give me some to fill your stomach."

This is Uncle Liu who lives in the town and has a close relationship with Yuan Bo's father.Uncle Liu watched outside for a long time just now. The original Li Chu couldn't say Li Chu's opening remarks. He felt that Xiao Chu had really changed. Maybe this time he was doing it seriously.

"Hole, Uncle Liu, you sit down first, you are the first guest to join us, I invite you to eat this meal, just wait, I will cook for you."

At critical moments, the elders are still reliable.

The reason why Li Chu waived the bill for Uncle Liu was that this Uncle Liu really cared about him. I heard from Axiu that during the period when Yuan was in a coma, Uncle Liu sent some food to help him. Li Chu was very happy. It is moving.

The second reason is that the prices of the dishes are a bit high. If this is shouted out, it is not a scam.

After Uncle Liu sat down, Yang Chengli immediately went forward to pour Uncle Liu a glass of water.

The onlookers, as well as Zhang Laocai and others, saw that Uncle Liu dared to test the poison with himself, everyone watched quietly, and some even prayed silently in their hearts, to protect Uncle Liu from any accident...

Li Chu first washed the rice in a pressure cooker, covered it, and cooked it on a coal stove.

From Yuan's body's memory, this Uncle Liu seemed to like light food, so Li Chu put the ingredients on the lotus root.

Use a small wooden basin to fill half a basin of water, pour some white vinegar into it, stir to mix, then slice the washed lotus root and put it in the wooden basin to soak.

"what."

Among the crowd, Zhang Laocai let out a small exclamation. He thought that Li Chu could not cook, but when Li Chu sliced ​​lotus root just now, his knife skills were very smooth, not like a new apprentice at all. Posture, very skilled.

Could this guy really know how to cook?

Soaking lotus roots in white vinegar water can not only increase the crispness of the lotus root slices, but also keep the lotus root slices white without discoloration.

Mince the scallion and ginger, and cut the scallion leaves into small pieces.

When Li Chu walked to the stove and put the big iron pot on it, Zhang Laocai frowned. Through the knife technique just now, Zhang Laocai had put away his jokes. The one in Li Chu's hand should be a pot, right? ?
The onlookers also looked curiously at the iron guy in Li Chu's hand, full of doubts.

When the pan is hot, pour in a little oil, and when the oil in the pan is hot, add the scallions and minced ginger and stir fry.

As the big shopkeeper of a restaurant, Zhang Laocai saw a little way, this big black iron lump, let’s say it was a pot, it became hot so quickly, what was poured in just now seemed to be fat, it turned out to be hot all at once yes, this...

Zhang Laocai was shocked.

When cooking in a restaurant, it takes a long time for the porcelain pot to heat up. If you add water, it will heat up even more slowly. Also, he didn't add water, but put oil directly. What did he want to do?
Li Chu quickly fished out the lotus root slices from the vinegar water, poured them into the pot and stir-fried.

The firepower provided by the briquettes is very strong. While frying here, the pressure cooker on the other stove began to sizzle.

Use a large spoon to add a little salt, and quickly spoon a little vinegar water from a small wooden basin into the pot.

Zi... White steam came out of the pot. After stirring for a second, Li Chu lifted the pot and shook it twice, quickly spooned out the lotus root slices, put them in an empty plate, and then sprinkled some chopped green onion.

Fried lotus root slices, done!
Li Chu's speed was too fast. Before everyone could react, the food was already served in front of Uncle Liu.

Enough?This is also too fast.

Seeing the steaming lotus root slices, Uncle Liu picked up the chopsticks suspiciously, and was about to pick them up when Zhang Laocai yelled loudly.

"Old Liu, take it easy, the lotus root slices are not cooked yet."

Zhang Laocai was born as a chef, and he is very clear about cooking techniques. At first, he became serious about Li Chu because of his knife skills, but now he saw Li Chu actually put oil in the pot, and he laughed, especially when he put lotus root slices in the pot. Poured in, he laughed even more.

He saw that what Li Chu cut was lotus root slices, and he only put a little oil in it, so he ruled out Li Chu's method of deep-frying.

I thought that Li Chu would add water to it and cook it, but I didn't expect it to be served on a plate after a breath. With his many years of cooking experience, how could it be cooked without even boiling it?
Don't tell him that it can be cooked after a while with oil, it's impossible, the temperature is too low, and it takes only one breath for the time of oiling, it's completely cold.

Sure enough, it was a lack of soul, if he hadn't had such a little relationship with Uncle Liu, he wouldn't have kindly reminded that whoever loves to test poison will try it, anyway, he is not the one who suffers.

raw?This is already hot, how could it be undercooked.

Uncle Liu hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to trust Xiao Chu and his own eyes, and put a piece of lotus root in his mouth...

Well, he took another slice.

Crisp, very crisp, and there is a fragrance in the mouth, obviously cooked, but not a little soft.

Delicious, very delicious.

"too delicious."

Uncle Liu couldn't help but screamed.

One slice after another, Uncle Liu has never eaten such delicious lotus root slices.

Then, with everyone stunned, he ate up a plate of lotus root slices at an exaggerated speed.

The rice in the pressure cooker was also cooked. When Li Chu loaded a bowl and brought it to Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu blocked it with his hand and said, "I don't need the rice, can you bring me another plate of this?"

Uncle Liu pointed to the empty disc.

Li Chu chuckled, went back to the stove, and fried another plate of lotus root slices for Uncle Liu.

This time, Uncle Liu ate slowly, as if he was savoring the taste carefully. Even so, within a short while, the plate of lotus root slices was empty again.

Uncle Liu covered his stomach and hiccupped. He was very satisfied with this plate of lotus root slices.

uh~~~
"Xiao Chu, thank you for your hospitality. I have never eaten such delicious food. I am so satisfied."

Uncle Liu stood up, with a look of enjoyment on his face, while hiccupping, he pushed the crowd away and walked home.I just don’t know how much such a plate of lotus root slices costs?Whether it is expensive or not, if it is not expensive, I will come to eat tomorrow.

Uncle Liu left, leaving only the bewildered onlookers behind.

Uncle Liu's reaction was unexpected.

good to eat?

Never had something so delicious?

Too satisfied?

How is it possible, I'm not even acquainted, you don't want to be a trustee and you don't bring such a fake, Zhang Laocai has ten thousand grass and mud horses roaring past, he is going to scold this old Liu to death, it's useless that my two families are still relatives, you How can this be.

"It's not easy for Lao Liu. To help this child, he sacrificed himself like this."

Some people in the crowd sighed for a moment. Old Liu's expression just now was too exaggerated. Old Liu has never been a person who wants to show off his appetite. How could he say such a thing? It must be to cover Li Chu. I just said that on purpose.

"Old Liu's entrustment is too obvious. Old Liu's fame in the first life is about to be ruined by Xiao Chu."

From time to time, a remark broke out in the crowd that it was not worth rushing for Lao Liu.

"Hey, Xiao Chu is too disappointing, it's a waste of Lao Liu's painstaking efforts."

"Yeah, I don't know how to cook, insist on opening a restaurant, and drag Lao Liu into trouble. Poor Lao Liu at his age."

care?
Sister Tony.

Li Chu almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood.

He pointed to Zhang Laocai and said, "You just said that you are not familiar with it, so do you dare to come over and try?"

Zhang Laocai said he was not familiar with him, so Li Chu didn't blame him.

Some people in the crowd questioned Uncle Liu as a trustee, and Li Chu didn't blame them.

The main reason is that the eating method of cooking is different from their thinking and habit of fixed life. I don't know the ingenuity of it. It is understandable to say such a thing.

Since Zhang Laocai is here and he owns a restaurant, no one will question him if he comes to eat once, right?
Li Chu also ingeniously came to kill with a borrowed knife, planning to use Zhang Laocai's power to increase the reputation of his restaurant.

A dead fellow is not a poor fellow. Now that Li Chudian has become famous, the crowd of onlookers all looked at Zhang Laocai. Zhang Laocai's face turned black instantly, but so many people looked at him, this is forcing the palace.

Zhang Laocai had no choice but to bite the bullet and sat down at Li Chu's table.

Li Chu didn't change the dishes, so as not to question them any more, he still fried a plate of fried lotus root slices as before, and put them in front of Zhang Laocai.

Now that the meeting was getting closer, Zhang Laocai saw clearly that the lotus root slices were actually steaming.

This, how is this possible?

He just rolled in the pot a few times, how could there be heat?
When Li Chu was cooking, he paid close attention to it. It was indeed freshly cut raw lotus root slices. How could it be steamed after a few strokes? This is beyond his understanding.

He slowly picked up a piece of lotus root, and instead of putting it directly in his mouth, he put it between his nose and sniffed it gently.
