Chapter 124 I've just never seen so much silver before, and it makes me uneasy.
Lu Qingqing walked into the kitchen,
The head chef immediately came forward, looking expectant, and said:
"Madam Lu, we've been hoping you could offer some guidance."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said:
"Master, don't be shy, let's begin."
She started by talking about selecting chicken:
"The chicken you choose should have tender meat."
Moderately sized
This way, the texture will be better after frying.
As she spoke, she picked up a chicken.
Show the chef how to determine the freshness of chicken.
Next, Lu Qingqing began to prepare the marinade.
Explain while adjusting:
"The ratio of spices in this marinade is crucial."
Salt, sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, etc., must all be added in just the right amount.
She placed the various seasonings into the bowl one by one.
Mix well.
then,
Lu Qingqing put the prepared chicken into the marinade.
He carefully spread it evenly, and said:
"The marinating time should not be too long or too short."
About half an hour will be enough.
When it came to the frying stage,
Lu Qingqing poured the oil into the pan.
After heating the oil, carefully place the chicken in and fry it while saying:
"The heat needs to be controlled well; it can't be too high."
Otherwise it will easily burn.
It can't be too small either, otherwise it won't fry properly.
The chicken gradually turned golden brown and crispy in the oil.
The aroma is wonderful.
Lu Qingqing took the fried chicken out, drained the oil, and said:
"at last,
You can sprinkle some salt and pepper or chili powder on top, depending on the guests' taste.
The head chef watched intently from the side.
He nodded frequently, his eyes full of admiration.
Lu Qingqing was not stingy either.
I also taught the head chef how to make several different flavored seasonings.
She took out several special spices.
He said to the head chef:
"Master, these spices, when combined..."
It can be used to make a spicy seasoning.
Suitable for guests who like spicy food.
As he spoke,
She skillfully ground and blended the spices.
Then sprinkle it on a piece of fried chicken and let the chef taste it.
then,
Lu Qingqing then brought over some sweet and sour sauce and said:
"This one is sweet and sour."
Brush it on the fried chicken.
It has a unique charm, and is especially popular with children.
The chef tried it as instructed and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.
then,
Lu Qingqing also demonstrated a method for making a cumin-flavored seasoning.
Explain as you do it:
"This cumin-flavored seasoning..."
It can add a unique aroma to fried chicken.
Many customers will like it.
The head chef watched attentively from the side.
Lu Qingqing patiently answered all the questions that were asked.
After a while
Several different flavored seasonings were then presented to the audience.
A rich aroma filled the kitchen.
The chef happily presented the fried chicken in several different flavors.
He carefully placed it in front of Quan Fuhai and said:
"Boss, please have a taste."
Quan Fuhai looked at the tempting, fragrant fried chicken in front of him.
He picked up his chopsticks with great interest.
He first picked up a piece of spicy fried chicken and put it in his mouth.
After chewing for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed:
"This spicy flavor is quite potent, stimulating the taste buds."
It's so good you'll want to eat it again and again.
Then, he tried the sweet and sour flavor.
A look of surprise appeared on his face:
"This unique sweet and sour flavor..."
It's refreshing and delicious, quite appetizing.
then,
Quan Fuhai tasted the cumin-flavored fried chicken.
Nodding repeatedly:
"This cumin flavor is rich and unique."
It adds a unique flavor to the fried chicken, not bad at all.
Quan Fu Hai tried every flavor.
He said with satisfaction:
"Every flavor is just right."
Each has its own unique characteristics and tastes great.
"Madam Lu's cooking skills are absolutely superb!"
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
These three flavors are available for customers to choose from.
I've already taught the head chef the preparation method.
"I can do it myself from now on."
Quan Fuhai nodded with a smile:
"Madam Lu's considerations are very thorough."
As a result,
This will definitely satisfy the taste preferences of more customers.
Lu Qingqing continued:
"Boss Quan,"
Hopefully, this fried chicken will bring some popularity to your restaurant.
Quan Fuhai laughed heartily:
"Of course, thank you for your help, Madam Lu."
Quan Fuhai continued:
"Madam Lu,"
We'll be offering this fried chicken on a trial basis today.
There are still some chickens in the shop.
Tomorrow, when Brother Lin comes to deliver the herbal tea,
Let me double-check the exact number of chickens.
Lu Qingqing replied:
"Boss Quan made the best arrangements."
Then we'll wait patiently for good news.
Quan Fuhai waved his hand:
"Everyone benefits from this together."
"Madam Lu, there's no need for such politeness."
Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a glance.
The group then prepared to say goodbye and return home.
Suddenly, Boss Quan said:
"Madam Lu, please take care."
Actually, there's something else I want to say, but I'm not sure if I should.
Lu Qingqing stopped and said with a smile:
"Please feel free to speak, Boss Quan."
Quan Fuhai said:
"Madam Lu, there is one more thing."
I'm also very interested in your family's herbal tea recipe.
Would you be willing to sell?
Lin Yunlan and Lin Erzhu immediately wanted to refuse.
Lin Yunlan hurriedly said:
"Boss Quan,"
This herbal tea recipe is our family's livelihood.
"We can't sell it."
Lin Erzhu also chimed in:
"Yes, Boss Quan, that won't do."
Lu Qingqing raised her hand to signal them not to rush.
Then he looked at Quan Fuhai and said:
"Boss Quan,"
We have never considered selling this recipe.
"How much silver can you offer? We'll consider it."
Quan Fuhai thought for a moment and said:
"I'm willing to offer three thousand taels."
Lu Qingqing thought to herself that the price was quite reasonable.
And the weather is getting colder.
Lin Yunlan will soon be taking up his post in the county government.
Selling the recipe isn't out of the question.
At worst, she'll think of other ways to survive.
She hesitated for a moment and said:
"Boss Quan, we'd like to sell the recipe for three thousand five hundred taels."
If you agree, then the deal is done.
Quan Fuhai frowned slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright, three thousand five hundred taels it is."
"Madam Lu is straightforward, and I, Quan, am not one to procrastinate."
Lu Qingqing smiled:
"Then, Boss Quan, it's settled."
Quan Fuhai sent someone to fetch 3,500 taels of silver.
They wrote another agreement, and both of them signed it.
Lu Qingqing also wrote down the recipe for the herbal tea in detail, including the order and proportions of the ingredients.
Quan Fuhai looked at the detailed prescription and smiled happily.
Said:
"Working with Madam Lu is really great."
The prescription written by Madam Lu is very detailed.
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
"Boss Quan, you can have the shop try making it first."
If you need help anywhere, you can come to Linjia Village to find me.
Quan Fuhai nodded repeatedly:
"I've noted it down. Thank you for your trouble, Madam Lu."
Lu Qingqing nodded slightly:
"Mr. Quan, you're too kind. We'll take our leave now."
Quan Fuhai personally escorted them out of the restaurant:
"Please take care, Madam Lu; please take care, Brother Lin."
Lu Qingqing, Lin Yunlan, and Lin Erzhu brought the silver.
Then they left the restaurant.
Lin Erzhu walked on, still unable to believe it.
Muttering to himself:
"So you're going to sell the prescription?"
And they sold so much silver!
So, what are we going to do from now on?
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
"Second brother, with money, what's there to worry about?"
"We can think of other ways to make a living."
Lin Yunlan chimed in:
"Yes, second brother, there's always a way out."
Let's discuss this further when we get home.
Lin Erzhu scratched his head:
"That's true."
I've just never seen so much silver before.
I feel uneasy.
