"It's up to you, don't do it when you are tired from running, and before making big lobsters, ask Mengxiang to see if there is an order, and don't make more." Su Zhenhong instructed, big lobsters are too expensive and wasteful One is a big loss.

"Okay." Su Jing asked Zhao Mengxiang for the order list, picked out a few dishes and took them all, then ran home, finished the few dishes, and sent them back to the seafood shop. Going back and forth like this, although running back and forth is a bit time-consuming , but it also relieved a lot of pressure for Su Zhenhong, the business in the store was even better, and there were almost no vacancies.

Su Jing's culinary skills are also steadily improving. In fact, he still has a certain talent in cooking, but his uncle and father are too good at cooking, so he basically doesn't have the opportunity to cook it once in a while, with his uncle and father The gap is too far, and the whole family can't get enough to eat, so they lose motivation.I can't cook a few times a year, even if I have a certain talent, it is impossible to improve my cooking skills.

"Boss, boss." A young man with greasy hair and noodles suddenly shouted.

"Hello, what do you need?" Zhao Mengxiang walked over quickly. The people at this table seemed to be rich and ordered the most dishes. They even ordered two big lobsters. Naturally, they had to greet them well.

"You have two cooks, right? The same dish has two flavors." The young man asked while wiping the oil from his mouth with a paper towel.

"Ah?" Zhao Mengxiang's heart tightened, thinking that it seems that the dishes made by Ah Jing were still eaten.

"Don't be nervous, although there are two flavors, both are good, one is worth the money, and the other is definitely worth the money, it's really nice to eat such delicious seafood in this small place Rare." A middle-aged man at the same table smiled and asked, "However, although it's all worth the money, we still hope to eat the best, so let's order another oyster, one... ..."

"Okay, wait a moment." Zhao Mengxiang walked into the kitchen.

"What's wrong? The guest is not satisfied?" Su Zhenhong and Liu Shu saw Zhao Mengxiang being called over by the guest from the kitchen.

"A few guests ate the dishes made by Ah Jing, and they were not satisfied. Dad, you can cook these dishes yourself." Zhao Mengxiang handed the list to Su Zhenhong.

"Well, don't tell Ah Jing about this, and don't discourage this kid's enthusiasm. It's quite remarkable that the culinary skills have improved so much, and it took so long for customers to taste the difference between my dishes. Learn more, Sooner or later, he will be my successor." Su Zhenhong said with a smile.

"Don't forget that Ah Jing graduated from a well-known university. She just came back temporarily for fun. Sooner or later she will go back to the outside world and take over your class as a chef?" Liu Shu retorted with a smile.

"That's right, Ah Jing is sure to have a lot of promise in the future, he is too talented to be a chef." Su Zhenhong scratched his head in embarrassment.

After a while, Zhao Mengxiang brought up some dishes made by Su Zhenhong again, and several guests couldn't wait to move their chopsticks.

However, they did not show the satisfied expression Zhao Mengxiang had expected, but frowned one by one.

"Didn't we say we want the best food, why is it inferior? Are you afraid that we won't have money to give it? Ask your best chef to cook it for us." The young man was a little angry.

"We didn't mean to make things difficult. It doesn't matter if you pay a little more. We just want to eat delicious food." The middle-aged man was more polite, and he took out a large bundle of banknotes, paid directly, and gave an extra two hundred tip.

"I..." Zhao Mengxiang took the money, but was a little anxious, thinking that these dishes were obviously made by Dad, so how could they be inferior?Could it be that Dad's cooking skills have suddenly declined?This is how to do?The few guests who are so generous can't be neglected.

"What's the matter?" Su Zhenhong saw the dispute here and came over.

"Are you the boss or the chef?" the young man asked.

"Boss and chef." Su Zhenhong replied.

"Then please serve me the best dishes, like this one, this one, and this one..." The young man picked out a few empty plates and put them aside with a straight face.

"Huh?" Looking at the plates picked out by the young man, Su Zhenhong and Zhao Mengxiang were stunned. The patterns of these plates are obviously different from those of other plates. If I remember correctly, they are the plates of Ah Jing's family, that is to say... …

Zhao Mengxiang suddenly opened her mouth wide, with a look of sudden realization and disbelief.

Chapter 15 Poisonous Gourmet

"Are you sure you guys like these dishes?" Su Zhenhong pointed to a few dishes from Su Jing's family and asked in disbelief.

"Of course I'm sure, because these plates are very delicious, so I'm very impressed. These plates are different, they are your chef's signature dishes, you know it very well, what should I pretend to be?" the young man asked a little angrily.

"..." Su Zhenhong was stunned on the spot, Ah Jing's dish surpassed his own and became the signature dish?

"That handsome guy brought over this kind of plate." At this moment, a sharp-eyed girl at the same table saw Su Jing who had just delivered the food.

"Young man, come here." The middle-aged man waved at Su Jing.

"What do you need, sir?" Su Jing asked.

"We'll take the two dishes you have in hand." The middle-aged man said.

"But someone ordered." Su Jing said.

"I'll pay double the price." The middle-aged man smiled.

"Okay then." Su Jing was not a waiter in a seafood shop, so he didn't need to follow the first-come, first-served rule and put two plates of fish on the table.When the lid is opened, young people, middle-aged men, etc. are all eye-catching, it is this fragrance.

They moved their chopsticks one after another, and after taking the first bite, they immediately praised: "It's delicious, that's what it tastes like."

Even the young man who was a little aggressive just now praised with a smile on his face: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!"

Both Zhao Mengxiang and Su Zhenhong were dumbfounded. They didn't believe it at first, thinking that there must be something wrong, but now that the facts are in front of them, they couldn't help but not believe it.

"A Jing, don't serve the next dish, bring it to the kitchen." Su Zhenhong said.

"Okay." Su Jing brought the next dish to the kitchen. Su Zhenhong, Zhao Mengxiang, and Liu Shu all tasted it, and then they all took it. It was indeed much more delicious than Su Zhenhong's cooking, and it was simply a master-level cooking skill.

"My good boy, when did you learn good cooking skills and keep it hidden?" Su Zhenhong felt a little bit embarrassed. Although he hoped that Su Jing would surpass him in cooking skills one day, he didn't expect it to be so fast. Not prepared.

"When I was in college, I often cooked by myself." Su Jing continued to boast, "Let's stop chatting here, there are many guests waiting to be served."

Next, more and more people noticed that the dishes in this restaurant have two flavors, so there was a phenomenon that many orderers asked for "the dish served by that guy", and Su Jing couldn't handle it when there were too many people After all, his knife skills are still poor, and there is only one heating tool in Rebei, so it can't be fast at all.So, Su Zhenhong thought of a way, that is, to double the price of Su Jing's dishes as his signature dishes. Even so, Su Jing's dishes are still quite popular.

"Mr. Zhou, you are tired from shopping all morning. I'll take you back to the hotel for lunch." Shi Qing was wearing a white dress and a straw hat. As a tour guide, she was leading a tall and thin An old man, a slightly fat middle-aged man, and a pretty girl.

"That store has a good business, so let's eat there." The tall and thin old man pointed to "Zhenhong Seafood Store".

"Let's go back to the hotel to eat, the hotel's food is even more delicious." A look of embarrassment flashed across Shi Qing's face. If it was an ordinary traveler, then it would be no problem to have lunch at the seafood restaurant here, but the one in front of him could not. .

He is the famous gourmet Zhou Xian. He is an authority in the food industry. He can even judge the life and death of a dish with a single sentence. He once made a chef of a little-known small restaurant become the top chef of a five-star hotel because of him. The great chef also caused a hotel to close down because of his words.

When he was young, Zhou Xian was quite friendly, and he often left a little room for talking about dishes he didn’t like, but as he grew older, his temper became more and more weird, he became more and more picky about food, and his words became more and more serious. Poisonous tongue, but his professional level and prestige are still there, often his poisonous tongue is so sharp that people can't refute it, so most hotels and gourmet restaurants are afraid of him.

There is a saying in the food industry: "If you don't want your business to be ruined, stay away from Zhou Xian."

Shi Qing is now the image spokesperson of this beach, and there is a beautiful photo of her wearing a long skirt on the advertisement, so she usually receives important tourists. She personally let Shi Qing receive her.But the reception belongs to the reception, Shi Qing didn't want to bring Zhou Xian to eat near this beach, so as not to ruin the reputation of this place.

You know, the food at the hotel where Zhou Xian lived was very delicious, and Shi Qing was full of praise after eating it, thinking it was simply delicious in the world.But after Zhou Xian ate it, he only said one sentence: "If you don't consider the rarity of the ingredients used in this dish, it's barely passable." The two apprentices who were still Zhou Xian at that time tried to persuade him, otherwise his words might be even worse.

This made Shi Qing sigh in her heart. Even the delicacies of mountains and seas in big hotels could not satisfy Zhou Xian, and the dishes in small shops such as Shijia Village, Sujia Village, and Zhangjia Village were even worse. After eating the seafood here, Zhou Xian had to say What an ugly word?

"It's troublesome to go back to the hotel, just eat here." Zhou Xian didn't listen to Shi Qing at all, and strode towards Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant.

"I will advise him to be more tactful." Ma Teng, a fat middle-aged man, spread his hands at Shi Qing and smiled helplessly.

"Hee hee, will your master listen? Let me tell the story." The pretty girl Lin Cai'er laughed.

"Well, it's up to you." Ma Teng smiled awkwardly. The two of them are Zhou Xian's apprentices, and they both knew that the master's poisonous tongue was a problem. The master also asked them to try their best to persuade the master to be more tactful. After all, it is so easy to offend people. It's not good to ruin other people's business, and it's even worse to be angry frequently.However, Ma Teng's persuasion is often ineffective, but Lin Cai'er, who is loved by Zhou Xian, is more effective.

"I'm counting on you guys." Shi Qing joined hands with the two of them, and the three quickly followed Zhou Xian.

"What do you guys want to order?" Zhao Mengxiang greeted Shi Qing with the menu, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Shi Qing.

"What's your signature dish?" Zhou Xian asked.

"Steamed lobster, steamed yellow croaker..." Zhao Mengxiang mentioned several dishes in succession, all of which were steamed.

"I want a steamed pike." Zhou Xian said.

"Anything else?" Zhao Mengxiang asked.

"Not for the time being." Zhou Xian said, which stunned Zhao Mengxiang and some people around who looked over. Many people here know that Shi Qing is the image spokesperson of this beach, and her worth is not comparable to that of ordinary tour guides. Yes, most of the receptionists are people with status.Originally thought that these three people must also be wealthy, but who knew that the three of them actually ate a plate of barracuda?However, a few people present recognized Zhou Xian, and their expressions became a little strange. Those who were about to leave didn't leave for the time being, and stayed to watch the show.

"Wait a minute." Zhao Mengxiang is very frugal herself, so naturally she will not be prejudiced against frugal people. If she doesn't consider business, she actually has a good impression of such people. She handed the order to Su Jing.

When Su Jing prepared the steamed barracuda and delivered it to Zhou Xian's table, both he and Shi Qing were taken aback. Neither of them expected to see each other like this. Su Jing quickly guessed that Shi Qing was a tour guide. However, Shi Qing mistakenly thought that Su Jing was only temporarily serving as a waiter for relatives, and she didn't think about the chef at all, because she had already tasted Su Jing's cooking skills.

Shi Qing's brows suddenly frowned tightly. She felt sorry for letting Zhou Xian eat here. She felt sorry for the villagers, but she didn't expect that it happened to be Su Jing's family. Own?

However, the matter has come to this point, Zhou Xian doesn't listen to her at all, and she can't force Zhou Xian to leave.

"This old man is Zhou Xian, a poisonous gourmet." Shi Qing quickly wrote a note, and used the table to cover it for Su Jing. Now she can only remind Su Jing, hoping that Su Jing, who has many more ghost ideas than her since childhood, can have some any solution.

"Please use it slowly." Su Jing smiled at Shi Qing, but she didn't think about any countermeasures at all. She generously placed the barracuda on the table, which made Shi Qing stamp her feet anxiously.

Chapter No.16 Top Cooking Skills

Under Shi Qing's terrified gaze, Zhou Xian opened the lid, revealing a whole plate of steamed barracuda.

The barracuda was sliced ​​and neatly arranged in a circle, like a peacock spreading its tail, and it was set off by green vegetables, so it looked pretty good.

I saw that Zhou Xian picked up a piece of barracuda meat, put it into his mouth, and began to chew.

"Huh?" Zhou Xian's eyes widened suddenly, he put his hands on the table, and almost stood up.

"Mr. Zhou, don't be angry, this is not a big hotel, it's just a small seafood shop, and this barracuda is not a high-end seafood, so you can just settle for a little bit, anyway, the barracuda is quite nutritious and good for your body It's helpful." Shi Qing tried her best to persuade her.

"How did you make this steamed barracuda?" Zhou Xian ignored Shi Qing and looked at Su Jing in shock.

"Huh?" Seeing Zhou Xian's reaction, Shi Qing froze for a moment, why did she feel that Zhou Xian didn't seem angry?Instead, it seems a little excited like picking up a treasure?Is it my own illusion?

Ma Teng and Lin Cai'er, who knew Zhou Xian very well, glanced at the dish of unattractive barracuda in astonishment, wondering what the taste of this dish of fish was, which made the master show excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Don't tell me yet, let me guess." Zhou Xian suddenly interrupted Su Jing who was about to speak, picked up the second piece of barracuda meat, and then picked up the third piece, as if he couldn't stop at all , I ate the whole plate of steamed pike meat in two or three strokes.

This made Shi Qing, Ma Teng, and Lin Cai'er dumbfounded, especially Ma Teng and Lin Cai'er. They knew that the master had become a bit anorexic because of his pickiness about food. Haven't eaten like this before.

"This should be called the opening barracuda, right?" Zhou Xian said slowly after eating, "The method is simple, first scale the barracuda and gouge out the gills, cut one knife at the head and tail, and pull out the internal organs from the side. Cut the middle section into slices with a knife. Put the fish skin in a large bowl, add sliced ​​ginger, salt, white pepper, cooking wine, and vinegar, mix well and marinate for 5-10 minutes. Put the fish head up on the plate, and the fish fillets on the plate Arrange in a fan shape to make the shape of a peacock opening its tail, sprinkle with minced ginger and garlic. Put it in a steamed steamer and steam for about 8-10 minutes. Cut the small red pepper into circles obliquely, and mince the shallot. Garnish at the end Red pepper rings, sprinkled with minced green onion, topped with steamed fish drum oil and sesame oil."

"However, in the same way, different people make completely different things. There are several keys to delicious steamed fish: 1. The fish must be vigorous and fresh, and steamed live fish is the most beautiful. Steamed fish pays attention to the original flavor, strives for freshness, and taste Best; 2. Before the fish is steamed, the marinating time should not be too long, preferably 10 minutes, because salt has the effect of penetrating and coagulating protein, and if left for too long, the meat will harden and affect the taste; 3. Steamed fish There are three taboos: one is to avoid putting the fish in before the water is boiled, the second is to avoid opening the lid halfway to let the air out, and the third is to avoid keeping the pot warm for a long time after steaming."

"This steamed barracuda has obviously done all the steps and all the key points to perfection, and has made the simplest dish to the extreme with a skill that can be called uncanny craftsmanship. "

Shi Qing was stunned when she heard that, why is Zhou Xian full of praise? Is this still that vicious gourmet?

"..." Su Jing was also stunned, thinking that there are so many exquisite things about steamed fish, it seems that he still has something to learn.But watching Zhou Xian talk so confidently, it is inevitable that I still feel a little funny in my heart, thinking that if this old man knows that I only have four simple steps to make fish: cut the fish, marinate it, steam it in a hotberry, add seasoning, I don't know how to feel.

"Mr. Zhou is really clever. As you said, this dish is made in this way." Su Jing coughed slightly, and said boldly.

"Who is your chef, can you invite him out for a meeting?" Zhou Xian asked, Ma Teng and Lin Caier were also curious for a while, who is so good at cooking that they can make a simple steamed shuttle Satisfied the master, they were also a little greedy, they didn't eat a piece of that fish just now.Shi Qing glanced at the kitchen. She guessed that the person in the kitchen should be Su Jing's uncle. She had heard that Su Jing's uncle was very good at cooking, but it was so good that it surpassed the chefs of big hotels. Zhou Xian admired it. It was unexpected.

"Hehe, this old gentleman, the one in front of you is the chef of this steamed pike." Zhao Mengxiang just walked by and pointed at Su Jing.

"Him?" Shi Qing, Zhou Xian, Ma Teng, and Lin Cai'er questioned at the same time, with disbelief on their faces. Zhou Xian's master and apprentice felt that Su Jing was too young, and it was impossible for him to have such cooking skills without a long-term accumulation. own.Shi Qing had already tasted Su Jing's cooking skills, and it was much worse than her cooking. How could he cook steamed fish that satisfies Zhou Xian?

"Mr. Zhou, the signature dishes here are all made by this young man." One of the guests who recognized Zhou Xian said, he ordered several signature dishes, and his wife felt that he wasted money, so he dared not speak Talk back, but now that even Zhou Xian likes him, he suddenly has full confidence.

"I'll order another steamed barracuda, another steamed lobster, and one steamed swimming crab." Zhou Xian squinted his eyes and looked at Su Jing for a while. He didn't know if he believed that Su Jing made it, but he ordered another dish. .

"Okay, you wait a moment." Su Jing ran home to do it again, saying that running around here is really exhausting. If it was before, he would have been tired, but it should be because of eating monster meat. I don't feel very tired, but I feel a sense of sweat.

After a while, Su Jing dragged a few dishes over on a tray, and brought the three dishes Zhou Xian ordered to the table.Zhou Xian, Ma Teng, and Lin Cai'er began to eat extravagantly, especially Lin Cai'er, who completely disregarded his image, ate so much that his mouth was full of oil, and even directly grabbed a lobster pincer and put it in his mouth.

Su Jing put another extra plate of big lobster in front of Shi Qing.

"I didn't order anything." Shi Qing looked at Su Jing.

"My treat is an apology." Su Jing smiled, in fact, he still didn't know why Shi Qing was angry with him, but a good man doesn't fight with a woman, so I apologize first and let her forgive me.

"Hmph, one lobster is not enough to make amends." Shi Qing rolled her eyes at Su Jing, but there was a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth. She tore off a piece of lobster and put it in her mouth with anticipation. , The saliva flowed out uncontrollably, and quickly wiped it off with your hands.

Su Jing couldn't help laughing at her embarrassed appearance, but she glared at Su Jing with a blushing face and continued to eat lobsters. Her opinion of Su Jing's cooking skills had to be changed 180 degrees in her heart. Taking a big turn, I was overwhelmed with admiration.She felt that this lobster was the best food she had ever eaten in her life.

When Shi Qing came back to her senses, the whole big lobster had already entered her stomach. She couldn't help but love and hate Su Jing. It is an extreme enjoyment to eat such delicious food, but now she must gain weight again. .

After eating and drinking enough, Zhou Xian posted an article on Weibo, highly praising this Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant, and spread the word about Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant in no time. Zhou Xian, who has a high reputation in the gourmet industry, has already It's been a long time since I posted a good review, but I suddenly gave a high praise to a small seafood shop, which makes people curious.

No.17 Chapter Repair

After lunch, Shi Qing took Zhou Xian, master and apprentice, to visit other places.

Su Jing stopped steaming fish because he was tired. Originally, he just tried the water to see how effective the hot shell was, but he didn't want to be a chef all the time. After the initial curiosity, he just I'm not interested anymore.

"Ah Jing, this is your money." Su Zhenhong stuffed a stack of 100 yuan into Su Jing's hand.

"So many?" Su Jing was taken aback, although he didn't count, but it should be around [-].

"Hehe, this is what you deserve. The fish and shrimp you sent are worth thousands of yuan. In addition, your signature dishes are selling very well, which indirectly drives the business of the store. Strictly speaking, I still account for it." We also made a lot of money." Su Zhenhong laughed and said, he was in a good mood, besides the more than 1 they gave to Su Jing, they also made a few thousand dollars, although today's situation is special, it may not be so in the future It's such a good profit, but it's a good start to be happy.

"Then I won't accept it politely. Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, I'll go first." Su Jing stuffed a large stack of banknotes into his trouser pocket, and as soon as he walked out of the seafood shop, he was stopped by Su Liang and Su Xiaolin.

"A Jing, let's go fishing with us, and borrow your good luck." Su Liang said with a bitter face. They had a very small harvest today. After deducting the fuel cost and some losses, there is not much left. Individual labor costs are pitifully low.

"Uh... I can't be lucky every time." Su Jing was a little speechless.

"If you don't try, how will you know? Your luck is too bad. If you can catch another tuna, you will not only make a lot of money, but also stop the mouths of some doubters. Once the news spreads, it will make us The tourism industry here is better developed,” Su Liang said.

"I won't go, you think tuna can be caught if you say you can catch it." After the tuna incident last time, Su Jing didn't dare to mess with monster meat again. It wasn't that Su Jing was too careful, but that he was so careful. , Just imagine if the meat of Warcraft attracts sharks or even a large group of killer whales, everyone will die.As for some people's doubts, Su Jing didn't bother to pay attention to them at all. Believe it or not, it's up to them to go all out for the doubts of these outsiders. Su Jing is not that stupid.

"Besides, even if tuna is caught, it can only cause short-term topics at most, and it is not a long-term solution. Our seaside is over-fished, and it will slowly dry up if it continues like this. One or two large harvests will not change the overall situation. Do you have any? Consider these?" Su Jing said.

"..." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin were speechless for a while, wondering how could they care so much.

"If you want to make money and develop in the long run, I have an idea." Su Jing glanced at Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others.

"Ah Jing, what ideas do you have?" Su Liang's eyes lit up, Su Jing had more ghost ideas than them since she was a child.

"I want to set up a seawater farm, or even a large-scale fishery. Our seawater quality and ecological environment are still very good, suitable for all kinds of fish to survive. Of course, this requires a lot of money. At the beginning, we can only start from a small age. You guys You can invest together, and we will share the money proportionally. You can also invest alone, and I will give you a fixed salary." Su Jing said lightly.
