Chapter 24 Divided into 55
"Sister Lin, don't be anxious. I'll make tea first, and then make a spicy boiled fish dish, which I developed myself."
Shopkeeper Lin was surprised again, but she also understood that she wanted to cooperate, so she invited the chef out of the kitchen first. After all, it was not easy to learn from his master before cooperating.
I saw Song Tingran using a fine mesh to wrap the tea leaves into a small bag, about the size of half a palm.
She originally wanted to clean the iron pot she usually used for cooking, but she saw a new casserole for cooking herbs. She pointed at it and said, "Can you lend me this?"
"Of course, Sister Song can use the things in the kitchen as she pleases. I can't do anything to help, so I'm just taking some time off."
Song Tingran also smiled and washed the casserole. Originally, she was worried that the iron pot for cooking would have a soaked smell, but now the problem is solved.
The freshly squeezed milk was poured into the iron pot. After boiling, it already had the sweetness of milk. Song Tingran put the wrapped tea leaves in and added a little sugar. Shopkeeper Lin opened his eyes wide.
"Sister Lin, we all know that milk is nutritious and tea is indispensable for high-end people and literati and pilgrims. Together, these two things are simple to make and taste better."
Shopkeeper Lin looked at the casserole again and again. Gradually, he smelled the refreshing fragrance of tea and milk, which mixed together made people happy.
While they were cooking, Song Tingran asked the chef outside the door to help clean up and fillet the two carps. She really couldn't compare to his professional knife skills.
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Song Tingran filled a cup of milk tea and handed it to Shopkeeper Lin.
"I randomly named it milk tea. It's concise and concise. It's a little hot now. Take a sip slowly. You can also drink this thing iced. After it cools down, add ice cubes and it will taste better. It's just that this season , there is no ice."
"So magical?"
Under Song Tingran's gaze, shopkeeper Lin blew the rim of the cup and took a sip. She almost stopped holding the cup and said quickly: "Milk and tea have such an effect. I never thought it could be cooked like this." , Sister Song, your fantastic ideas are something ordinary people cannot have."
"That's so complimentary to me. I also thought of it accidentally. This tea bag that has been used once can be reused 3-5 times. I also prepare a large pot specifically for making milk tea. I can make several servings at a time. The business is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.”
Shopkeeper Lin put down the cup, held her hand excitedly, and asked, "I don't know how Sister Song wants to cooperate."
"Don't worry, I also have the recipe for this spicy boiled fish. Let's talk about it after you eat it."
The fish fillets cut by the chef have been marinated with ginger, garlic, and a little salt and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan, add dried chili segments, fresh chili segments, Sichuan peppercorns, and garlic.
Soon, the aroma has spread throughout the kitchen. At this time, add the fragrant pickled fresh sauce.
After stir-frying, add water, add fish heads, continue to simmer until boiling, then add marinated fish fillets.
The fish fillets were very thin and after cooking for a while, Song Tingran put out the firewood and poured the semi-finished products in the pot into a large basin. Shopkeeper Lin was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Song, I'm here, and you're not afraid that I'll steal my lessons and start a new one."
Song Tingran mixed the side dishes of potato slices, lettuce and bean sprouts with water, and replied: "Don't be afraid, after we have cooperated several times, I know you can't do it."
Shopkeeper Lin fanned herself and smiled sweetly, thinking that she was right, they should be close friends.
Put the chopped vegetables into the big pot just now, heat the oil in the pot again until it boils, add Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers.
"Sister Lin, step back, the essence of this dish is coming."
"it is good."
Song Tingran poured the hot oil in the pot onto the fish fillets and vegetables with a large iron spoon.
Zila Zila.
This spicy and fragrant smell went directly into the mind of shopkeeper Lin. The chefs waiting outside had also smelled this smell early, but they didn't know what it was and were anxious outside.
"The spicy boiled fish is done, call the chefs, let's try it together."
Song Tingran put down his sleeves. He was accidentally hit by an oil spot just now. It hurt a little, but it was not serious.
Shopkeeper Lin was already lost in the fragrance and didn't notice Song Tingran. He opened the kitchen door and the three chefs behind him hurriedly walked in.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?"
Shopkeeper Lin gave everyone chopsticks and asked them to taste it first. The three chefs all started eating anxiously.
"This fish meat still maintains the taste of fresh fish and is elastic in the mouth, which is really rare."
"The vegetables inside are also full of the deliciousness of the fish, and coupled with its own sweetness, I can eat three bowls of rice."
The three chefs chatted endlessly, and shopkeeper Lin nodded with satisfaction, leading Song Tingran back to the private room.
Shopkeeper Lin personally poured tea for Song Tingran, looking respectful.
"Sister Lin, I'm not used to you being like this."
"The first time I met you, I thought you were very special. This time, I was even more impressed. Not only can you cultivate high-quality fruits, but you are also so knowledgeable in cooking. I don't know, what is the price of these two recipes? How many?"
Song Tingran took a sip of tea leisurely. He had been busy in the kitchen for a long time just now. He was either tired or hot, and his head was covered in sweat.
"I don't want to sell recipes, I want to cooperate with you. Milk tea and spicy boiled fish are sold at Zuixianglou. I will not cooperate with other restaurants for these two dishes. You and I will split it 50-50, and we will settle it once a month. Qing, how about it?"
Shopkeeper Lin thought about it and decided that a 50-50 split was not suitable for her because everything came from Zuixianglou and she was worried.
Song Tingran saw her hesitation and continued: "Sister Lin, don't worry, we are not a one-time deal. If I come up with new recipes in the future, I will send them here."
After that, she took out the two big watermelons in the basket and patted them. The sound was clear and crisp. The tails of the melons were also green and there was dirt. She blinked and Shopkeeper Lin surrendered directly.
"This is the most popular watermelon in the city in the past two years, and you have actually cultivated it so big!"
"Yes, but these two watermelons are not for sale. They are specially brought to you. In the hot summer, it is best to chill them with well water. You are a distinguished guest in the capital, and you are also a good friend of the new dishes. "
"Thank you very much. It's agreed that your new recipe can only be given to us at Zuixianglou."
Shopkeeper Lin immediately asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a cooperation agreement. Both parties signed and fingerprinted it, and the matter was considered completed.
Before leaving, shopkeeper Lin brought twenty taels of silver and a bag of tea, and promised to give it to Song Tingran no matter what.
