Chapter 15: Chef 14

When the old people met, they were overjoyed. Aunt Wang took Lin Dan's hand and said something for a while. Lin Dan came back here as if he had returned home, tying his headscarf, pulling his sleeves, and naturally doing his work. When the handsome man returned with two buckets of water, he saw that she was sitting in the back kitchen and grinded the soy milk. Aunt Wang was adding firewood to the hearth of the stove, and she talked about the experience over the years. Master, if I had known that they were so unconscientious, I would never pass on their skills to them. "
"Not everyone is like this, is there a word to say this? 'Master teaches well, apprentices come to care for the elderly', my craft of making tofu is taught by my mother, no, I will return to you now Old age. "Lin Dan laughed lightly.
Aunt Wang quickly waved her hand: "Don't say that. I only taught you three months. You still do so much work for me every day. I still take advantage of it. How can you help me take care of myself? My uncle and I can still live on, so do n’t be a burden on you!
Then the eyes turned red. My uncle's son ignores her, but the little girl who only learned a course with her treats her like a relative, which makes her feel so uncomfortable!
Tong Erhong walked in with her eyes closed and said dumbly, "Sister Lin, thank you for your kindness. I recently found a long-time worker to work at the resident's home. I can help feed my mother every day. You can rest assured. "
Lin Dan waved his hand: "The feeding I said is not the kind of feeding, you are afraid of misunderstanding. Ma'am, you taught me a dish then, and now I will teach you three dishes. After I learn it, I can solicit more business. Then bring back the flourishing days before, would you say OK? "She said while filtering the ground soy milk repeatedly with gauze, and pouring it into a large pot to cook.
The handsome man didn't say a word, but had already taken over the work of grinding soybean milk, and looked at Lin Dan who kept talking for a moment.
Lin Dan cut coriander, shallots, mustard and other side dishes into diced, and stir-fry sesame and peanuts with oil, stir-fry in a bowl and set aside for use, Xu Xu said: "You only sell one dish all year round, guests It ’s not fresh after eating for a long time, and the business is naturally deserted. The technique of ordering tofu is very good. Why not make a few more tofu dishes? I now teach you this dish I learned from Fushun County, called tofu brain. Famous tofu is a semi-finished product of tofu, but the taste is not worse than tofu. It has two flavors, salty and sweet. This shop is next to the official road, and guests from Tiannanhaibei have them. If you come from North, you will ask them to eat salty , Nanke came, you asked them to eat sweet, hot in spring, autumn and winter, chilled in well water in summer, eat cold. Beancurd originally did not taste, seasoning relies on sauce, the type of sauce is also very Rich, salty sauce has spicy, spicy, sour, etc., sweet sauce has sucrose, brown sugar, maltose, etc. A bowl of beancurd with two spoons of sauce, just this one dish, you Can make thousands of flavors, easily meet the needs of any guest, can not compare It ’s much better to sell tofu balls? Besides, the tofu brain is simple and easy to make. It can be cooked in a large barrel without needing three quarters of an hour after it ’s sold out. It ’s ready to eat, and guests can eat the freshest ingredients whenever they want. dislike?"
Speaking of cooking, Lin Dan spontaneously voluntarily made two bowls of beancurd, a bowl of spicy flavor, and a bowl of wolfberry brown sugar, all of which were red and bright in color and looked very delicious.
The handsome man silently picked up the salted beancurd and took a bite. The tenderness to the extreme taste immediately conquered his taste buds. The thick bean aroma accompanied by the spicy soup rolled in his mouth and slid into his throat. It's simply incredible. His eyes lightened slightly, and he immediately took a sweet bean curd and took a bite. The sweet and tender bean curd slowly melted at the tip of his tongue, biting the wolfberry and tasted a little bit astringent. The taste was so tender and smooth, and the taste was so varied that he couldn't stop with a spoonful.
Mother Aunt Wang and Brother Wang took a half-doubtful sip and were shocked.
Lin Dan made the beancurd and fried another dish of Huxiang Tofu. It was also served with two kinds of sauces, sweet and salty. If the guests were not satisfied, they could make it by themselves. In the end, she slightly improved Wang's special dish, tofu and meatballs, and made it into dried fried tofu balls. It was solid when it was put into the pot, but it became hollow when she was out of the pot. She opened the crispy shell of the shell with her hand, but the inner wall was still hanging. Covered with a layer of fresh and thick soy milk, it is crispy with tenderness, dry with juice, and the taste is very wonderful. Then use chilli pepper, garlic, and wild spring onion to dip into the water, and brew in the cavity of tofu Eat together inside, crispy outside, tender inside, fresh and spicy, don't taste too good! If you ca n’t eat it spicy, change the dipped water to red bean paste or sesame peanuts. The taste is also excellent.
These three dishes are extremely flexible. As long as the guests like it, they can make any taste. Once you learn it, you won't have to worry about it in your life. Aunt Wang and younger brother Wang were not stupid. They tasted the dishes and heard that they were both happy and ashamed, and they did n’t know whether they should accept the gift.
Lin Dan never talked empty words, and taught some business lessons after pointing out the dishes: "You can provide hot tea for guests who come and go for free during the spring, autumn, and winter seasons, and make some jelly at any time in the summer, then freeze a flag, and write 'Free tea supply' 'Of course, there will be tired guests stop drinking, and you ask them if you want to eat, the business will naturally be done. After all, the literate people are few, the younger brother can sit on the side of the road and wait until the caravan comes over Shouting two times with a throat, soliciting popularity. Aunt Wang's craftsmanship is here, not afraid of the customer's dissatisfaction. When the customer is satisfied, the reputation will be established, and the days will be more and more popular. Do you think? "
"Yes, yes!" Aunt Wang and younger brother Wang nodded, their eyes were soaked. They saw that Lin Dan really wanted to help them, otherwise he wouldn't say so much. I didn't expect that I only sent a small kind heart at that time, and today there is such a blessing. There are indeed many people in this world.
I was so busy in the evening that Lin Dan stared overhead and walked freely on the official road, feeling only broad in his heart. It's her responsibility. She wants to get it back. If she owes someone else, she will return it. If she is alive, she has to live frankly.
The handsome man followed her silently, looking at her with extremely complex eyes.
Three dishes were not learned overnight, and Lin Dan had no choice but to stay in the town for a few more days and go to Wang Ainiang's shop every day to help. Brother Lin cooked hot tea and sat down on the side of the road to drink, which really attracted many caravans and passersby. They originally intended to slap on the after drinking free tea, but were hooked by the strong fragrance from the kitchen. So they asked for a few bowls of beancurds to try something new. The taste was incredible, but they couldn't stop. What's the matter, there is no appetite for drinking four or five bowls even with that appetite.
Aunt Wang's small shop from Menkeluoque to Kexiyun only took three days. Three days later, Lin Dan left, and Aunt Wang studied some new flavors and sold them. The response was also very good. Over time, the dilapidated thatched shed became a solid earthen house, and after a few years it was converted into a row of wooden houses. It finally developed into a restaurant specializing in beancurd, which is well known. Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law was run out of business to do business, and returned with a humorous face and a to admit it, but was kicked out and turned into a joke in Shilibaxiang.
Lin Dan still didn't know about these afterwards. She took her mother back to Beijing and settled in a small courtyard that she had already bought. Before she could stop, she went to Xicheng District to check the shop. She has been planning to open a shop in Beijing for two years, but it can be said that "everything is owed to Dongfeng".
Beijing is known as "the east is rich in the west, the north is poor, and the south is cheap." Most people living in Xicheng District are wealthy; most people living in Dongcheng District are rich; the poor people living in the North District; all the migrants living in the South District rely on hard labor to make a living.
Lin Baotian is good at cooking Lu cuisine. Lin Dan has studied Lu cuisine in recent years. Naturally, he wants to continue to cook Lu cuisine when he returns to open a shop. In the chef world, there is such a saying-Lu cuisine is official cuisine, Cantonese cuisine is commercial cuisine, Sichuan cuisine is folk cuisine, and Huaiyang cuisine is literati cuisine. If you want to make official dishes, you have to open a shop in Xicheng District so that you can have customers.
Lin Dan sent a few servants back to Beijing to find the noodles early. They waited for three or two months. Sure enough, there was a grocery store at Qingyun Lane in Xicheng District, which was ready to be transferred. The opposite side of the grocery store was the Yan family. restaurant.
It stands to reason that Lin Dan had safely arrived in Beijing, and the handsome man should leave, but he did not leave, without giving any reason, and just followed Lin Dan silently, like a guardian. Perceiving that he was not malicious, Lin Dan ignored him and went straight to negotiate the price with the owner of the grocery store.
The handsome man stood at the door and waited, his gaze turned to the opposite Yan's restaurant, his expression was a bit subtle.
"You want to open a restaurant, and you also make Lu dishes?" The owner of the grocery shop turned his eyes and changed his tongue. "Lin Treasurer, I didn't mean to embarrass you. It is because something happened in my house. I need a lot of money . Although the price you give is appropriate, it is not high, and several people have come to you these days, and the price is better than you. The higher price is the rule of doing business. Don't understand? "
Lin Dan frowned, "Treasurer, what price you want is better to report it to me, I will see if it is suitable, I will take it if it is suitable, even if it is not suitable."
The grocery store owner quoted a price that was not what Lin Dan could afford now. She summed it up in her mind and said decisively: "Treasurer, wait for me one day, I will bring the silver tomorrow, and you will prepare the documents for the transfer."
After talking, she asked the servant to go back to pick up the goods, and she walked a few laps in Qingyun Lane to see the situation.
"Three hundred and sixty-two silver, this price is enough to buy two of these shops, you lose." The handsome man also followed behind her, his voice heavy.
"You don't understand, I want that shop." Lin Dan waved his hand firmly.
The handsome man turned his head and looked at the Yanjia restaurant where business was booming and the customers came, and then looked at the grocery store across the street. He couldn't help but sigh: Lin Dan, is this the preparation for the Yanjia restaurant?
