After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was silent, shopkeeper Xue began to complain: "Auntie, you don't know that business is very difficult now, every restaurant is introducing new dishes.

Some time ago, our Yuelaiju became very popular in Chengyang County thanks to your popular flip-flop restaurant.

But no matter how good the food is, customers will sometimes get tired of it, not to mention that most of our restaurants are regular customers.

And this flip red is not unique to our restaurant. Of course, I am not talking about the newly opened Canghe Liji at my aunt’s house. "

Yan Qingqing nodded after hearing what Shopkeeper Xue said: "What Shopkeeper Xue said is that business is indeed difficult to do now.

But a restaurant as big as Shopkeeper Xue should have no shortage of new dishes. "

Shopkeeper Xue sighed and said: "There is no shortage of new dishes, but there is a lack of attractive dishes.

To be honest with my aunt, I also spent a lot of money in private asking for recipes, but the response was mediocre and didn't stir up much excitement. "

Yan Qingqing looked at Shopkeeper Xue's expression of bitterness and hatred and could only ask: "Then why did my nephew come to me today?"

Shopkeeper Xue was secretly happy when he heard that Yan Qingqing started to call him "nephew". Yan Qingqing had never called him that, so there was no hope for what he asked for today.

Shopkeeper Xue glanced at Yan Qingqing and said, "My nephew heard that my aunt's ancestor was the royal chef of the previous dynasty, and he must have many secret recipes handed down from his ancestors.

I don’t know if my aunt is willing to give up her love, so I will give my nephew two as a reward. "

Yan Qingqing's face changed back and forth after hearing this. She was shooting herself in the foot. Sure enough, when you tell a lie, you will have to use countless lies to cover it up.

Shopkeeper Xue saw Yan Qingqing's face changing and said quickly: "My nephew also knows that this request is a bit abrupt, but I really have no choice. As long as my aunt is willing to give up, the price can be negotiated."

Yan Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was just a recipe. Anyway, she had no plans to open a restaurant now, so it wouldn't hurt to give him a few.

Yan Qingqing looked at Shopkeeper Xue and said, "Xiannephew, you also know that no one will tell the family secret recipe unless it is absolutely necessary. To tell you the truth, even Erlang and the others don't know how to do it, but now you call me aunt." , and came to the door in person, which shows that he is sincere.

Then I will make an exception. I don’t know what kind of cuisine you are looking for, nephew? "

Shopkeeper Xue was secretly surprised when he heard this. He felt that Yan Qingqing was really heroic and worthy of being the descendant of the royal chef. Seeing that she was asking him what kind of cuisine he wanted, it showed that she knew more than one.

Shopkeeper Xue didn't dare to be too greedy and replied: "From my perspective, my nephew can't make up his mind as to what dish is more suitable for my Yuelaiju."

Yan Qingqing said in her heart: "Shopkeeper Xue is really smart and knows how to respect Yan's own opinions. Then I will definitely not give him too ordinary recipes."

Yan Qingqing pondered for a while and said: "Actually, Shopkeeper Xue's Yuelaiju is well positioned, but it lacks several high-end dishes. If those dignitaries come, Shopkeeper Xue cannot just entertain them with some ordinary dishes. "

Shopkeeper Xue nodded and replied: "What my aunt said is absolutely true. To be honest, I feel a little guilty every time Magistrate Ling comes to eat. Although the magistrate likes to eat flip red, he can't always have the same dish every time he comes. . But I racked my brains and couldn’t find anything that was particularly appealing to him.”

Yan Qingqing estimated that this was the purpose of Shopkeeper Xue's trip, so Yan Qingqing said again: "My dear nephew, I can only pass you two recipes. As for whether the county magistrate likes it or not, it is beyond my control. .”

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Xue quickly said: "That's natural. My nephew's purpose of coming here this time is simply to ask for two recipes. After all, in addition to the county magistrate, we also need to entertain other guests in the restaurant.

Moreover, my nephew opened a restaurant just to make money. "

Seeing that shopkeeper Xue was honest, Yan Qingqing stopped showing off and said, "I have two recipes here, one is called Buddha Jumps over the Wall, and the other is boiled cabbage.

Just from the name, you might think that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is more upscale and uses better materials.

In fact, this is the case. There are as many as eighteen kinds of raw materials for Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, including sea cucumber, abalone, shark's fin, fish lips, scallops, fish maw, razor clams, ham, pork belly, sheep knuckles, hoof tips, tendons, and chicken breasts. , duck breast, chicken gizzards, duck gizzards, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, etc.

At that time, sometimes it was difficult to find all these things at once, and other raw materials could be substituted in small amounts.

What’s more, the production of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is very complicated. It requires frying, stir-frying, boiling, boiling, deep-frying, etc. eighteen kinds of raw materials to make it into a dish with its own characteristics.

Then put it layer by layer into the jar and simmer over low heat.

Although this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall simmers a variety of raw materials in one pot, the various raw materials maintain their original characteristics.

It tastes soft and smooth, rich in meaty aroma, meaty but not greasy.

Moreover, it has extremely high nutritional value and is the best for nourishing the body. "

Just listening to Yan Qingqing's description, shopkeeper Xue felt that the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall was very delicious and would definitely be very popular in the future. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to try it right away.

Shopkeeper Xue asked Yan Qingqing many questions about the dish of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

In contrast, shopkeeper Xue is not that enthusiastic about boiled water.

Yan Qingqing seemed to have read through shopkeeper Xue's thoughts and asked, "Does shopkeeper Xue think that Buddha Jumping Over the Wall might be more popular than boiling cabbage?"

Shopkeeper Xue nodded honestly when he heard this and said: "Auntie, with all due respect, this boiled cabbage sounds like a clear soup with little water, and even ordinary people may not like to eat it."

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "If you think so, you may be wrong. Let me tell you this, as long as the materials are complete, the average master can basically learn it in two days.

But boiling cabbage cannot be learned in a day or two.

Although it is not difficult to select the ingredients for boiling water cabbage, you only need to choose the tender heart of the cabbage. It is best to use frost-beaten cabbage, which will taste better.

But the difficulty lies in the boiling water. It does not use real boiling water to blanch the cabbage, but uses stock. This stock is the most difficult to cook.

Since it has a rich aroma and is as light as water, it should be boiled like boiled water. Pour it over the cabbage layer by layer and blanch the cabbage as beautifully as a flower blooming. "

Shopkeeper Xue was stunned after hearing this. Not to mention having seen such a practice before, he had never heard of it. An ordinary cabbage could perform such high-end tricks.

Shopkeeper Xue now felt that this was not a recipe at all, but his own God of Wealth, so he stood up and saluted Yan Qingqing and said: "Aunt, my nephew, thank you for your love. I want these two recipes, please aunt." Make a price."

Yan Qingqing would definitely not give this recipe for free. It was in the name of a palace secret recipe, so it would not be appropriate for the price to be too low.

Besides, these two dishes cannot be cooked even in a modern ordinary hotel.
