Chapter 33
In fact, the first time Ye Yao saw the shriveled red peppers in the corner of the kitchen, she had no idea at all, after all, red peppers are common ingredients in modern times.If it hadn't been for the servant who tidied up the kitchen one day muttering a few words about what kind of vegetable it was, which hadn't rotted for a long time, Ye Yao wouldn't have taken it to heart.

The two of them turned from the backyard to the front yard and came to the big, smoky kitchen. Because it was not the most lively meal time, the fire inside was not very hot.The cooks leisurely watched the sign next to them skillfully stir-fry the dishes. Out of the corner of their eyes, one of them caught sight of two big figures from Zuiyun Tower stepping in, and quickly put down the spatula in his hand.

"Madam, shopkeeper, why are you here? What's the matter?"

When the other people heard this man's words, they also put down the things in their hands, and turned around respectfully to look at the two of them.

Du Qiusheng waved his hand, "It's nothing, just do your own thing." He turned to look at Ye Yao, "Ma'am, do you want to start now?"

Du Qiusheng asked Ye Yao this because he thought Ye Yao was cooking in person, but after Ye Yao nodded to him, she reached out and waved to a cook inside.

"Old Zhao, have you prepared all the ingredients I asked you to prepare this morning, but have you marinated them as I ordered?"

The chef named Lao Zhao heard Ye Yao's words, put down the vegetables in his hand, wiped his hands on the cloth, and took out the chicken that Ye Yao had ordered him to marinate from the cabinet at the back. .

"Ma'am, I have marinated them as you said, do you think this is feasible?"

Ye Yao stepped forward to pick up a piece with chopsticks, looked at it, nodded, "OK." She looked sideways at Du Qiusheng, "Although a gentleman is far away from the cook, since this dish is a special one, I hope Du Qiusheng The shopkeeper can watch our frying process from the sidelines, shopkeeper Du is willing."

Du Qiusheng laughed, "Of course it's possible. Du is just a businessman who cares about money. He doesn't have so many rules. You can cook it freely. If the dish is novel and unique, Du also hopes that he will be lucky. Witness its birth."

"Okay, Old Zhao, let's start then."

Ye Yao originally thought about doing it herself, but first, she doesn't know how to use ancient kitchen utensils, mainly because she can't control the fire of the firewood cauldron, and second, she doesn't know if Ye Shiyao can cook, so she is mainly responsible for saying, It's Pao Zhao who actually cooks.

Ye Yao often made this dish by herself in modern times, so she remembered the recipe very clearly, but because she was not the one who cooked this time, she had to recall the recipe while telling Pao Zhao how to do it, and at the same time Explaining to Du Qiusheng.

"Actually, the chicken must be diced before frying this dish. As for the chicken breast or drumstick, this is mainly due to the difference in taste. Today we use chicken breast. I have asked Lao Zhao to use starch in advance. It has been marinated with cooking wine and diced chicken, so now we just dice the chicken directly."

After Ye Yao finished speaking, she signaled to Lao Zhao that it was time to cut the meat, and upon receiving the order, Lao Zhao picked up two pieces of chicken breast and cut them into cubes respectively.Lao Zhao's knife skills are very good, and the meat he cuts is of the same size. This is Ye Yao's willingness to let him be responsible, which is pleasing to the eye.

After Lao Zhao diced the meat, Ye Yao picked a small red pepper, ranging from green onion, garlic and ginger, and asked Lao Zhao to cut the onion with a rolling blade first, then asked him to mince the garlic and ginger for later use, and finally asked him to put Dice small red peppers.Ye Yao saved the practice of sautéing chili seeds because she didn't dare to taste it too spicy for the first time.

After Lao Zhao prepared the side dishes, she asked Lao Zhao to heat the pan with oil. When the pot was almost hot, Ye Yao began to ask Lao Zhao to put the diced chicken into the pot and spread it out, and fry it until it turned white. , when the smell of meat began to waft from the whole kitchen, she asked Lao Zhao to pour in the peppers, scallions, garlic and ginger that he had just prepared and stir fry.

When peppers and scallions are added, the taste of the kitchen is different again. In addition to the smell of meat floating in the air, it is also mixed with the sweetness of shallots and the spicy taste of peppers, which makes everyone present swallow involuntarily after smelling it. Drooling, someone kept looking over here while doing their work.Even Du Qiusheng stood up because of this tempting smell and went to Pao Zhao to see what he did.

After frying for a while, Ye Yao asked Lao Zhao to add salt and soy sauce according to his own discretion, and stir fry for a while before it was ready to be cooked.At this point, the performance of this chili fried chicken was over, Ye Yao turned her head, very satisfied with the expressions of the people present, this effect was what she wanted.

"Master Du, let's go outside to the stone table and wait for Lao Zhao to serve the dishes." Ye Yao raised her palm and invited Du Qiusheng to go outside to dissipate the smell of oily smoke from the kitchen.

After the two stood outside for a while, Pao Zhao came out with chili diced chicken. Behind him, several Pao Zi stood at the door and poked their heads out.

"Please." Ye Yao handed the silver chopsticks to Du Qiusheng.

Du Qiusheng took it with both hands, and the moment Lao Zhao lifted the cover, a burst of water vapor evaporated, and the white mist filled with spicy chicken fragrance immediately dispersed, and Du Qiusheng couldn't help but produce body fluid again.

The diced chicken fried by Lao Zhao is golden in color, with some green onions on the plate and the small flowers carved by Lao Zhao, Ye Yao who is beside him can't stop praising it in his heart.

The same is true for Du Qiusheng, just looking at the color and taste, he couldn't help but move his fingers.Picking up a piece of chicken, he tasted it carefully before putting it in his mouth. The spicy pepper immediately stimulated his taste buds. Du Qiusheng frowned unconsciously, but he didn't spit it out right away. Just like what Ye Yao said, the taste of the meat is more delicious and rich in taste, it is really the first choice for a meal.

Not only that, when the first piece of meat is swallowed, the meaty aroma of diced chicken and the spicy pepper are still left in the mouth. The combination of the two lingers in the mouth for a long time, making people want to continue to eat a piece of meat.

Du Qiusheng put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, and was shocked by the chili chicken dish that Ye Yao brought.

"This dish is indeed unique and extremely delicious. Madam is truly a genius. How did you come up with this dish?"

Ye Yao smiled unnaturally, "How can a little woman like me know how to make it? In fact, I also saw it in a small recipe, but I didn't understand what chili was at the time, so I didn't take it seriously. It's just that that day It was very beautiful when I saw it in the kitchen, and after I tasted it, I found it had a special taste, so I woke up and saw a similar recipe.”

In Du Qiusheng's words, Ye Yao was a little embarrassed by the praise. In fact, this is just an ordinary side dish, and almost everyone in modern times can cook it. Ye Yao dare not invite this kind of merit, so she had to say that it was in a folk recipe. Seen on

"So that's the case, but it all depends on Madam's good memory."

"Hehe, it's easy to say." Ye Yao, who couldn't help boasting, was a little erratic, and she was somewhat elated because of Du Qiusheng's words.

"However." After Du Qiusheng praised Ye Yao, he touched his chin and changed the subject, "After all, there are very few people who can accept this spicy taste, even if this dish is launched, there are probably not many people who are willing to try it. "

Du Qiusheng's worries are not unreasonable, which is why he has been troubled for a long time without confirming the new dishes.There are many things to consider when launching a new dish, the most important of which is whether it meets the taste of the public, otherwise it will be useless even if it is launched.But obviously about this point, Ye Yao had thought about it a long time ago, and she put her hands together with a smile on her face.

"It's not easy. I've already thought of a countermeasure."
