Zou He then walked around the surrounding area again, and there were a lot of food and beverage outlets in the surrounding area.There are biscuits, snacks, and various small restaurants.In addition, it looks like a relatively high-end restaurant.

Zou He observed for a while, there were not many people in high-end restaurants, and occasionally two or three people dressed in more business-like clothes went in.Generally people who go to tapas and small restaurants to eat.The whole street was filled with smoke and fire, and it was very lively.

Zou Heping is usually alone, and occasionally goes out to eat.But usually go to small restaurants.Occasionally, someone would go to that kind of high-end restaurant when he was looking for entertainment.

In high-end restaurants, I only felt their service when I was socializing in the past.It really is good.Not only do the ingredients in the restaurant are relatively high-end and fresh, but the service is also excellent.

When drinking, someone will help pour the wine, and you can be guided by service staff wherever you want to go.

But at that time, I was just a guest.Today Zou He wants to go in and investigate.Want to know more things.

So Zou He came to a restaurant that looked very high-end.As soon as you enter the door, you can hear a sweet voice: "Hello, how many people?"

"One." "Okay, this way, sir." So Zou He was arranged to sit by the window.

You can see the street scene of people coming and going from the window.This is undoubtedly because the guests who come to eat alone are afraid of being bored.This location arrangement also shows that they have been carefully designed.This improved Zou He's instant experience a lot.

Next, I saw the service staff bring the menu written by themselves with exquisite calligraphy.There are also vivid and abstract pictures of various foods on the menu.It can be seen at a glance.Zou He also greatly wants to appreciate the design of this menu.

At that time, because everyone did not have printing technology, many menus were just handwritten dish names, and some didn’t even have menus, and they all depended on the oral introduction of the service staff or the shop owner himself.

There are not many such dishes that can be accompanied by hand-painted dishes.Sure enough, this kind of precision is what impresses customers the most.

Zou He looked at the picture, and was attracted by the prices below. The corresponding prices of each dish were marked one by one.This gives customers a lot of autonomy in ordering food.Otherwise, there is no price, and ordering is not practical.

Zou He couldn't help but praise this detail.

Zou He thought about the world he lived in, such an advanced age.There is also such a menu.Although there is printing technology, the menu looks more vivid.

But it's pretty impressive in this day and age to have such a similar menu.Zou He couldn't help but admire the taste and vision of the store's planners.

Seeing such a familiar feeling, Zou He casually ordered three or four dishes.

I don't seem to feel much.I was in that world before, and I seemed to be used to ordering several dishes for meals.

In that world, everyone's living standards were relatively high, so they were not as frugal as they were in this era.The service staff took back the menu and glanced at Zou He in surprise.And came back and carefully reminded: "Sir, you are dining alone, right, these dishes you ordered may be too much."

Zou He felt the service staff's intentions, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, just pack it for me if I can't finish eating." "Okay, sir, I'll serve you right away."

Not long after, a plate of cold salad was served, which was appetizing.Zou He is very familiar with this order of serving dishes.

It's just that after staying in this world for so long, I usually only eat some basic food, and I haven't experienced this kind of feast much.

The cold dishes are still very generous, and they are served on an oval plate, which looks pretty delicate.Then Zou He tasted it, and it tasted good, light and sweet, very appetizing.

So Zou He asked the waiter about this dish.The waiter told Zou He the name of the dish, the specific ingredients, etc. one by one.

Zou He thinks this is good, if he opened a restaurant, he would have to eat all these cold dishes.Although there are still a lot of this in this era, as long as this dish is often served in restaurants, I believe some people will like it.

After all, the taste is good. For those who like to drink, it can be used as an appetizer or appetizer.

Then another stir-fried dish was served, and some meaty stars could still be seen in it.Already very expensive.

At that time, meat was a very expensive ingredient, and it was not seen once or twice a year on the table of ordinary people.Because it is expensive, frugal people who live in ordinary life will naturally not eat it.

In this kind of hotel, it is not uncommon.So Zou He tasted it, and it tasted good, the heat was just right, although there was very little minced meat, but it could still taste the aroma of meat.I can solve the meat.

It can be seen that the chef of the restaurant is very good at cooking.This dish is estimated to be very popular in my own time.

After all, meat eating was very common in my time, and everyone basically ate meat for three meals a day.But it doesn't taste like this.It is a rather special taste.Zou He didn't know how to describe it, so he could only comprehend it.Zou He took several mouthfuls before slowly stopping.

Next came a soup.It looks light and beautiful.There are ingredients of various colors in it.But it's a bit like the West Lake beef soup that I used to eat.

So I took a spoonful and tasted it.Unexpectedly, the appearance is light, but it has a rich taste.Not greasy, light and soft, it feels very comfortable and refreshing to drink.

Zou He couldn't bear to take a few more mouthfuls.So I called the service staff and wanted to ask what special ingredients are in this seemingly simple soup.

The service staff didn't ask much, so they told all the ingredients inside. Zou and some of them hadn't even heard of them. They were some wild vegetables unique to this era.Wild vegetables were not expensive dishes in those days.

But only Zou He knows that wild vegetables are actually more precious and more nutritious.Because in my own world, when the dishes were already very colorful, wild vegetables broke out again and became precious and expensive dishes.

Unexpectedly, this boss can still master a lot of essence in this era.Zou He was shocked.

It seems that the wisdom of the ancestors is really well-deserved.So Zou He also intends to make good use of this and use wild vegetables to create more and more delicious dishes.And there are many wild vegetables in this era that I have never heard of.

The price is also very low. There are often many poor families who cannot afford food, so they go to the mountains to dig all kinds of wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, or sell them.

Zou He ate almost all three dishes by himself.

In the end, there was only one dish of fried fish left.Zou He had eaten fried fish once before, but it was at another restaurant.That taste can be said to be the closest to the era I lived in.Also crispy.

After a while, the service staff brought up a plate in the shape of a small bamboo basket.There are seven or eight fried fish neatly placed inside.The size is relatively uniform.

The exterior is covered with a layer of golden shell.Zou He is still very familiar with this kind of fried food.I used to be in that world, and as a senior otaku, fried food was one of the happy foods.

Every now and then, there will be a takeaway to relieve my cravings.But now this one is really similar to what I used to eat.It seems that the workmanship is similar.They are all wrapped in a layer of noodles, and then deep-fried until they are browned, and there is a unique aroma of deep-frying.It tastes more delicious.

Zou He couldn't wait to pick one up, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.It tastes great.Zou He found a long-lost familiar taste.

Then came a second, and a third.A sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.This delicacy can definitely grasp everyone's taste buds, from children to the elderly, everyone loves it.

So Zou He also decided that he must study this dish carefully.It will be popular in the streets and alleys in the future.I will definitely not miss it.

If possible, it can also be made into a signature dish.So I also found the service staff and asked them one by one about the ingredients used in this dish.

As for cooking skills, Zou He didn't want to ask too much, after all, it was unique to others, so he wouldn't just tell others about it.Although imitation and surpassing were not popular at that time, everyone was still highly competitive.After all, doing business is the same in any age.

In the end, Zou He was full and ready to leave the restaurant full of harvest.Zou He feels inspired along the way.There are many things that are similar to my own era.This is something he didn't expect.

And even more distinctive than his own era.Because many things are unique only to this era.Such as ingredients, such as the cooking skills of this era.

So Zou He had an idea.He wants to focus on something that combines his own era with the current era.It is even more innovative than the restaurant I just visited.

Thinking about it, he remembered the transferred shop that Shazhu mentioned.So came over.I saw that the store has a simple fashion sense that does not match that era.At that time, the architecture itself was relatively retro.

But the restaurant in front of him is a bit like his own era.Zou He felt good on the first day.

Walking in, I looked at the relatively spacious hall with several large windows.The inside is all whitewashed.This is like the modern minimalist style of my era.Zou He felt very good.

So I thought of such a perfect kitchen that Shazhu introduced to himself.I went in out of curiosity and took a look.This kitchen is indeed very good, spacious and bright, with a row of stoves, giving people the feeling of being the back kitchen of a big restaurant in their own world.

Zou He also thought it was good.The overall feeling is very familiar, very good.It is rare in this age to find a sense of familiarity.So I found the shop owner and chatted.

The two first chatted about the boss's previous restaurant types, the style of the restaurant, and the characteristics of the dishes.The boss was obviously very confident in his previous operations.He told Zou He that his restaurant was liked by many people before.

The boss has been here for several years, and he has opened this restaurant with his own characteristics.The dishes are also newly developed by the chef himself.Relatively innovative.

Zou He also became interested when he heard it, so he chatted with the boss about the dishes.He didn't expect that the boss's innovation was not only in ingredients and cooking skills, but also in many aspects.

He thinks this should be the reason why the boss's restaurant can open well.In terms of management, the boss also has his own way.Even if this point is placed in his own world, it is not outdated.Zou He learned about it in detail and memorized all the good innovations.

After all these investigations, Zou He went home.

"Hezi, are you home?"

"I heard that you went out to investigate by yourself today."

"How is it? Is it what I said? Is the business very good?" Silly Zhu asked anxiously.

"It's good that the business is good, but good is part of it, and people have their own innovations."

"Do you know that everyone pays attention to innovation in dishes now?!" Zou He asked

"What kind of innovative method?" Sha Zhu was stunned.

Shazhu usually doesn't know this, he is just a very traditional chef.It’s okay to make a big pot of rice, but I haven’t tried innovation yet.

"Then if you want to be a chef for me, then you have to create a few dishes from now on. You can make these dishes look better, taste rich and more special."

"This...then I don't know what taste I want."

"Just follow what I said and try it. I will give you some money in the early stage, and you can buy some ingredients and come back."

"That's ok. I seem to understand something. I just study it myself, replace some food with some ingredients, and then match it to create a new dish?"

"It's almost understandable in this way, but it's not as random as you think."

"There must be some creativity, and the taste must be better than the original."

"...I see, then I'll try." After the two of them finished talking, Sha Zhu went home to ponder these things.

Silly Zhu suddenly thought of the master he studied under before, and his cooking skills were particularly superb.It was very famous at the time.

He remembered that the master had given him a book on culinary skills before, and he was too lazy to read it at that time, so it might just come in handy now.Talking about rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, the ground was in a mess, and finally out of a pile of old things, a rather retro book came out.

Sha Zhu immediately picked it up and turned it over, his eyes almost fell into it.It talks about the collocation experience of various ingredients.

Silly Zhu thought at this time, with this, wouldn't it be easy to create a few dishes?Maybe I have the experience of my own master, and I can create a few very classic dishes, and then I will be worshiped like my previous master.Thinking about it was interrupted by a voice.

"Brother, why are you crazy?" "Look for yourself what you have done to your house. When I first came in, I thought our house was burglarized?"

"My sister is doing a big thing this time, you will know in the future." Then he went out with the book in his arms.

"You must be crazy, what big things can you do? You make the house like this, like a person who does big things?" Yu Shui was a little angry at this time, he made such a mess in the house, and left by himself.Every time I follow behind to clean up.

Yushui was even more strange this time, not knowing what Shazhu was doing all day.Every day, he said some unbelievable and inconspicuous things.Yushui even suspected that he was incapable of any blow, did he lose his mind? !
