Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

Chapter 155 Today the Crows Return Parents

Just as Wen Yulan expected, Zhao Xiaojing's shop was completed and simply decorated in mid-to-late October.

Although it was a simple decoration, it cost nearly 4 yuan to complete it. In addition to the purchase of tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, various equipment, and rent of 2.4 yuan, a total of 10 yuan was gone.

Now the two of them had spent all the money they had earned during this period, and not even a penny of profit was left in their hands.

During this period, Lu Hongwen was also paid a salary, with a base salary plus commission totaling 4852 yuan. This was based on the calculation of his salary starting from the first day of his part-time job, as Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen did not receive any commission for the few days that he worked part-time.

Moreover, in the beginning, the supply of sugar water was in short supply. Later, as Zhao Xiaojing obtained the quick module, the output of the two gradually increased. Now they can easily sell 800 servings a day, and Lu Hongwen also hired a part-time job.

After receiving his salary, Lu Hongwen was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He kept talking about his financial freedom and wanted to treat Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen to a meal. In the end, they had a meal at a hot pot restaurant in the snack street, and both the host and the guests had a great time.

On the day when Zhao Xiaojing's kitchen was finalized for a new store, Chen Huiping helped to post a sublease notice, and it was finally successfully sublet to a takeaway shop.

The day before the opening, Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen stopped taking orders for pork trotter rice and spent most of the day preparing and cooking two tables of exquisite dishes.

Chen Huiping's whole family was invited at noon, and at six o'clock in the evening, Wen Yulan and Wen Jin's family came as promised, carrying flower baskets and fruits.

"Jingjing, I wish you a prosperous business." Wen Yulan and Wen Jin's wife walked in front and handed two large flower baskets to Zhao Xiaojing with a smile.

"Wheat?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at the flowers in the baskets in surprise. There were two baskets of golden wheat tied into beautiful bouquets.

"It's barley, which means I wish you a big sale." Wen Yulan smiled and hugged Zhao Xiaojing. "This is your Aunt Yuan, Uncle Wen's wife, and this is your Uncle Jiang, my husband."

Zhao Xiaojing called Su Yuchen over again and introduced themselves to each of them. After a while of greeting, Su Yuchen made tea for the four of them outside, and Zhao Xiaojing went straight into the kitchen again.

At noon, four people came to Chen Huiping's house. The dishes were prepared together early in the morning, so the dishes on both sides were basically the same. However, Zhao Xiaojing had a deeper relationship with the Wen family, and she was given a large bag of food when she left Wen Yulan's house last time, so Zhao Xiaojing added a king crab and a pineapple and black pepper steak to the dishes she treated the Wen family to.

At this moment, two side dishes have been prepared, one is stir-fried lettuce, and the other is tofu with green onions, both of which are refreshing and refreshing.

One of the main dishes is the rich and noble big round pig's trotter, which is made from the pork elbow that has been braised in the pork trotter rice. The whole pig is taken out of the braising soup pot after it has absorbed enough flavor. After it is out of the pot, it is topped with blanched hair algae and cabbage, and five broccoli flowers are added as decoration, and then drizzled with a spoonful of prepared starch sauce.

This is the method of making the “expensive-looking” pork elbow that I learned in Master Gu’s restaurant last time.

"Serve the food. Two side dishes and the pork elbow first. The rest of the food in my pot will be ready soon."

"Okay." Su Yuchen, who had just pushed the door open, brought out the dishes.

When she came in again, Zhao Xiaojing's steamed king crab legs were ready.

This dish is very simple. Just steam it for three minutes, then add chopped green onions, drizzle with hot oil, and then drizzle with the soy sauce you’ve adjusted the flavor to. It’s very quick to make.

Zhao Xiaojing uses the king crab body to make a simple stir-fry with ginger and scallions. After coating it with flour, it is deep-fried until it is shaped, and then the scallions, ginger, and garlic are added and stir-fried before being served.

Thanks to the wide variety of ingredients available at Master Gu's restaurant, Zhao Xiaojing spent more than half a month practicing in the virtual space after the projection before she was able to try out most of the cooking methods for all the ingredients.

Zhao Xiaojing tried many conventional and unconventional ways to cook the king crab, and changed the seasoning again and again. In the end, she concluded that the simplest method is the freshest and most delicious, and that high-end ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods.

Therefore, today's king crab is simply steamed and stir-fried with scallions and ginger. Anyone can do it, and you can enjoy the deliciousness of the crab itself.

After Su Yuchen brought out the two king crab dishes, Zhao Xiaojing turned on high heat and the chicken braised with mushrooms in the casserole was finished.

Turn off the fire and sprinkle a handful of coriander on it. Su Yuchen, who came in again, took the dish out with a rag on his back without being reminded.

When Su Yuchen came in again, there was another person following behind him. "Mirror, Aunt Wen is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yulan's gentle voice followed.

"Jingjing, thank you for your help today. You've had enough to eat. Don't do it anymore. There are only a few of us, and you two have to make so much. How can we feel comfortable doing this?"

"It's not a bother, Aunt Wen. I've eaten at your place for a few meals. Today, the crows are repaying their parents."

While Zhao Xiaojing was stir-frying the pineapple steak cubes in the pan, she turned back and chatted with Wen Yulan. While they were talking, the pineapple steak cubes were out of the pan.

Wen Yulan smiled and patted Su Yuchen, then took the plate out.

Zhao Xiaojing continued to heat the oil, put the ribs just taken out of the pan back into the pan, added onions, green and red peppers, and pepper and salt and stir-fried them before serving.

Finally, stir-fry the Lotus Pond Moonlight, crisp snow peas and lotus root slices, carrot slices and shredded black fungus. Then heat the oil in a pan, stir-fry quickly, add the prepared sauce and starch sauce, stir-fry evenly and serve.

Nine dishes, six meat dishes, one vegetable dish and two side dishes.

The original lunch menu also included stir-fried beef and grilled fish cubes, but after adding the king crab and beef cubes, the dishes were not enough, and secondly, Wen Yulan came in again.

"Alright, alright, there's no way we can finish all the food. Don't waste it. Let's go, eat. We're waiting for you."

Wen Yulan pushed Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen out, and the eyes of the three people at the table lit up when they saw them.

"Come on, come on! Lan Zi, Su Su, Jing Jing, come and sit down!"

The three people waiting at the table were not that hungry at first, but they had all heard of or tasted Zhao Xiaojing's cooking skills for a long time. Sitting at the table, they were tempted by the aroma and the excellent appearance, and they were already very greedy.

Zhao Xiaojing and Su Yuchen looked at each other, and at Su Yuchen's signal, Zhao Xiaojing spoke. "Aunt Wen, Aunt Yuan, Uncle Jiang, Uncle Wen, Suozi and I would like to toast you and thank you for coming to support us!"

Among the six people, Wen Jin and Wen Yulan's husbands both drove cars, so Zhao Xiaojing made two versions of drinks, both of which were the bayberry and lychee drinks she had practiced before. One was the fruit version that Wen Jin and Wen Yulan's husbands drank, and the other was the red wine version that the four women drank.

The six of them clinked their glasses together and were first impressed by the drinks, which were sour, sweet and cool, and their appetites were whetted.

"Oh my god, how did you make this drink? It tastes so good?" Wen Jin's wife was surprised and took two more sips from the cup. "Jingjing, is this also what you sell here? The fruity taste is so comfortable!"

"It's not sold in the store. I made it to relieve the heat and drink it for ourselves. It's fine as long as Aunt Yuan likes it." Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile.
