Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 8

This is the first time Qin Shou has seen the ancient town style. The pedestrians on the road are not as leisurely as those in the TV series. Most of them are in ragged clothes, and the large and small patches are particularly conspicuous. In addition, the sackcloth on his body is made up of small patches and large patches.

There are all kinds of people, and of course there are many rich and noble families with bright clothes. Qin Shou parked the cart on the side of the street, looked at it for a while, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Fresh wild pork, cheap and good products, pass by!" Pass by, come and see."

"If you like it, buy a piece. It only costs [-] cents a catty. Wild pork is nutritious and nourishing. If you miss this village, there will be no such shop..."

This voice immediately attracted pedestrians to stop, walking over in twos and threes, wild boars usually live in groups, and it is not easy to hunt down a wild boar, so when they heard the word wild boar, everyone's interest was aroused.

"Young man, give me two catties." An old man stepped forward and said.

"Okay, right away." Qin Shou smiled openly, and immediately cut off a piece and put it on the scale. The scale was tall and full of weight.

Grandpa is very happy.The payment was also straightforward, and two catties and thirty Wen were put into Qin Shou's hands.The wild boar meat weighed 280 catties after removing all kinds of miscellaneous things. It was sold at home for a hundred catties, and there was more than one leaf left. Qin Shou only brought one leaf, and kept the rest at home for his own food.

Soon Qin Shou sold less than half of it, and at this moment a young boy who looked like a boy walked up to Qin Shou, and said with a smile: "This little brother, the wild boar meat you left We have all the restaurants, can you help me deliver them to the Four Seas Restaurant?"

"Hey, okay. Wait a minute, I'll put these things together." Qin Shou quickly put away his things, pushed up the cart and followed the boy, walking towards the Four Seas Restaurant.

Four Seas Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Qingshan Town, and it is also a place where travelers from south to north often stay. They really have the strength to eat these dozens of catties of pork. It is hard to say if it is another restaurant.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, I came to the backyard of Sihai Restaurant. The young man called the shopkeeper Zhao, weighed and paid in front of Qin Shou, and when Qin Shou helped deliver the meat, he glanced at the back kitchen. Shou watched and shook his head, the cooking level was really mediocre.

Shopkeeper Zhao is a middle-aged man in his forties with sharp eyes. Looking at Qin Shou's expression, he can tell that Qin Shou is not satisfied with the back kitchen, but why is his own back kitchen dissatisfied with this black boy?
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was very thirsty for knowledge, asked, "Brother, what are you dissatisfied with? Please advise."

Hehe, Qin Shou was happy, showing a simple and honest expression, and said: "There is nothing dissatisfied, but the dishes are too simple, even though I haven't eaten them, I can guess that the taste is not good."

Um?As soon as Qin Shou said this, Chef Zhang was not happy about it. What does it mean that the taste is not very good? Can you enter the Four Seas Restaurant if it is not good?

As soon as he patted his belly, Chef Zhang shouted at Qin Shou: "Hei boy, is your cooking skill good? Since you are not satisfied, then you come to cook a dish and let everyone see your real skills. Don't be hairless." , can’t speak firmly!”

As soon as Chef Zhang spoke, all the apprentices in the back kitchen stared at Qin Shou unkindly. Qin Shou pinched his nose, tilted his head and looked at Chef Zhang, and found that although the chef was unhappy, there was no malice in his eyes. It seems that people are not bad.

He said, "That's fine, I'll also make the braised pork you just made."

"Please!" Chef Zhang stepped back, giving up his seat.

Qin Shou raised his eyebrows and walked up to the chef's position. Immediately, a young apprentice sat in front of the pot and started to light the fire. Qin Shou didn't need to direct him at all, each of them took care of his duties.

Qin Shou grabbed a piece of pork belly, cut it up and put it aside, and separated the white and green of the shallots, cut the white of the shallot into sections, and minced the green onion, and prepared the brown sugar.

Pour an appropriate amount of boiling water into the pot, put the pork belly and green onion into it, blanch for 5 minutes, take it out, wash the pot, pour the blanched and drained pork belly into a clean pot, and fry on low heat until the surface of the meat is slightly browned , and when some oil oozes out, add brown sugar and stir fry evenly over low heat.

Standing by the side, Chef Zhang's eyes were shining brightly, an expert would know if there was one, and Qin Shou's saber skill made the chef understand that this person is not easy, and it will take ten years for him to practice this saber skill.

After a while, the aroma was so strong that shopkeeper Zhao salivated, and he looked at Qin Shou even more eagerly.

"Okay, master, please taste." Qin Shou picked up the plate, put it on the pot table, and looked at Chef Zhang with a smile.

"Haha, I don't dare to be a master. I am an apprentice at most in front of you." Chef Zhang laughed, as if he was a bachelor, he directly admitted that he was not as good as Qin Shou, and at the same time admired Qin Shou's measure, and he didn't hide anything. Cook the dishes directly in front of yourself.

Picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, yes, the chef nodded again and again, and picked up another piece of fat meat, which was not oily or greasy, and the taste was very good. The chef gave Qin Shou a thumbs up.

Seeing that the chef had finished tasting, the shopkeeper eagerly stepped forward to pick up a piece of fat meat, and immediately squinted his eyes in enjoyment, it was really delicious.

"Brother, look at your recipe, hehe, can you sell it to me?" Chef Zhang rubbed his hands and asked, the recipe can be said to be the lifeblood of the chef, so Chef Zhang was extremely embarrassed when he asked.

Qin Shou's eyes lit up when he heard the words. If there is nothing else, there are many recipes. After selling this one, there will be another one. Anyway, Qin Shou didn't plan to become a chef himself, but Qin Shou also didn't plan to sell all the recipes he knew. Yes, if I open a restaurant by myself in the future, all the dishes in my hand can become the treasure of the store.

Blinking his eyes twice, he said, "It can be sold, but what price do you plan to offer?"

Chef Zhang immediately turned his attention to shopkeeper Zhao, this matter is up to shopkeeper Zhao, shopkeeper Zhao was eating well, when he saw Chef Zhang looking over, he quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, stretched out a big finger, and said: " Ten taels of silver, okay?"

Qin Shou's eyeballs rolled around, thinking in his mind, here, one tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand taels of copper, and a wild boar of his own is calculated at fifteen taels of silver, and it can only be sold for four taels of silver.

If counted in terms of grain, the top-grade rice is [-] cents a catty, and you can buy several hundred catties of rice, which is enough for your family to eat for several months. out a finger.

Said: "Brother, I will add another ten taels, but you have to ensure that this recipe can only be sold to my family, and you will not be able to cook this dish in other restaurants in the future, do you think so?"

Qin Shou raised his eyebrows, clapped his hands and said, "Deal."

The shopkeeper got the recipe, thinking about adding another signature dish, Qin Shou got the silver taels, thinking that he could buy some clothes and bags of rice, he was also very happy, and he changed from a poor person to a rich person in a blink of an eye.The two get what they need and work together happily.
