Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

Qiao Ran was enthusiastically persuaded by shopkeeper Chen to eat more dishes. She was not a pretentious person, so she ate gracefully.

After just a few bites, Qiao Ran's expression turned a little strange.

Although, the dishes prepared by the chef of this restaurant do look delicious, delicious and appetizing.

But for Qiao Ran, whose taste buds are used to eating all kinds of modern meals, she always feels that there is something missing in these dishes.

She tasted all the more than twenty dishes on the table one by one, and finally concluded what was wrong.

There is too little seasoning here! The food is not handled well either.

The mutton has a mutton smell, the fish is a little fishy, ​​the bone soup does not enhance the freshness, the sweet and sour fish is sweet on the outside and bland on the inside, and the pickled fish is only sour but not spicy...

Shopkeeper Chen was busy using serving chopsticks to pick up Qiao Ran's food when he suddenly saw the strange look on her face and couldn't help asking nervously:

"What's wrong? Are these dishes not to your taste, or are you eating something you don't like?"

Qiao Ran shook her head and said politely: "No, these dishes are all delicious."

Seeing the worried look on Shopkeeper Chen's face, Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "However, it will be more delicious if it is slightly improved."

"Oh? How to improve it?"

Shopkeeper Chen is a very conscientious and motivated shopkeeper. Over the years, he has helped his boss manage the Juxian restaurant conscientiously, turning it into one of the busiest restaurants in the capital.

Making a lot of money for his boss is his goal in life.

Now when he heard that the restaurant's dishes could be improved to taste better, he was naturally very interested.

Just as Qiao Ran was about to speak out her opinion, shopkeeper Chen quickly motioned to her to wait:

"Please wait a moment, wait a moment! I'll get a notebook and write it down!"

Shopkeeper Chen got up, hurried back to the next room, and brought a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

He placed a small notebook connected with threads on the dining chair, picked up the pen, raised his head and said to Qiao Ran: "Okay, Miss Qiao, I'm ready, just tell me!"

Seeing that shopkeeper Chen was so modest, Qiao Ran smiled and slowly spoke out her suggestions.

"There are many ways to remove the mutton smell. Tea, garlic, walnuts, red dates, orange peels, mung beans, radishes, fresh bamboo shoots, almonds, etc. can all be used to remove the mutton smell."

"Put jasmine tea in a cloth bag and cook it together with the mutton to remove the smell. Boiling it with goat milk can also remove the fishy smell of goat milk. When frying the mutton, stir-fry the water to dry and then sprinkle in concentrated milk several times. Tea can remove the mutton smell and make the mutton crispy and delicious."

"When frying mutton, add garlic, stir-fry for a while and then add water to boil, which can also remove the smell. When cooking mutton, you can add a few shelled walnuts or red dates, or orange peels, or hawthorns, or a few almonds. Remove the mutton smell."

"When roasting mutton, putting a dozen mung beans in the pot can also remove the mutton smell. Or you can use chopsticks to poke a few small holes in the radish and cook it with the mutton. You can also absorb the mutton smell into the radish and make the mutton better. After cooking, the radishes can be thrown away."

"You can also add half of the fresh bamboo shoots to the mutton, fry it first and then stew it, which is also a way to remove the smell."

"It is also easy to remove the fishy smell from fish. When cutting the fish open, tear off the black membrane in the belly of the fish and drain the fish blood from the fish bones. This can also remove the fishy smell to a certain extent."

"Then make a cut on the head and tail of the fish, and carefully pull out the two white tendons on both sides of the back of the fish. Be careful not to break the white tendons in the meat. This white tendon is the fishy smell. After removing the thread, the fish will be less fishy after cooking.”

"In addition, steaming fish is also very particular. Do not steam the fish directly in the dish, because fishy water will seep out when the fish is steamed. If the fish is placed in the dish, it will be stained with the fishy smell of the fishy water. The fish steamed like this will be very fishy.”

"Also, there is a disadvantage of using a plate to steam fish. The fish meat is blocked by the plate and cannot be heated evenly. One side may be cooked but the other side is not yet cooked, so the steamed fish will not taste good."

"So, it is best to put an iron rack in the pot or use long chopsticks to support it, and put the fish on the rack to steam. Make a few cuts on the fish before steaming, so that the fish meat can be more flavorful. Apply it on the fish first salt, and then stick the sliced ​​ginger on the cut edge to better remove the smell.”

"When steaming fish, pour half a bowl of cooking wine into the water. This way, when steaming the fish, the cooking wine can surround the fish with the water vapor and also remove the fishy smell."

……

Qiao Ran kept talking, and shopkeeper Chen carefully remembered that if an outsider saw it, he would think it was a master teaching students!

Although Shopkeeper Chen is not a chef, he has been running this restaurant for so many years and he still knows a thing or two about the cooking methods of some chefs.

The more he listened, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Miss Qiao knows so much!

How useful these suggestions are!

You know, in the restaurant business, most of the dishes are actually the same. Diners can eat the same dishes they usually eat in every restaurant. Only a few exclusive dishes are likely to attract customers. Eaters who like novelties.

The methods of these common dishes are naturally well-known to everyone, and the test is just the chef's grasp of the heat and sauces.

But if these common dishes are made more delicious than other restaurants, it will naturally be more able to retain regular customers who come often.

If the same dish has no odor or fishy smell and is fresher, more fragrant and more delicious than other dishes, it will undoubtedly be a qualitative leap, and its competitiveness will naturally be unquestionable.

Shopkeeper Chen was extremely excited just thinking about how the dishes his restaurant would produce would be better than those of other restaurants.

And he was obviously too excited because there was something even more exciting waiting for him!

Qiao Ran finished talking about a bunch of various ways to remove the smell of mutton and fishy smell, use white sugar to enhance the freshness, and how to make some dishes more beautiful in color and tasty inside and out.

Finally, she pointed at the plate of pickled fish and asked, "Shopkeeper Chen, why does this pickled fish only have pickled cabbage and no chili?"

"Pepper? What is that?"

Shopkeeper Chen looked confused.

Qiao Ran was surprised, people in this dynasty had never seen chili peppers?

God, what a boring world it would be without chili peppers!

She had never enjoyed anything spicy in her previous life, but she really didn't expect that she would be able to live in this dynasty without spicy food.

However, Qiao Ran thought again, it was not good!

You know, how many people in previous lives couldn't stop eating chili peppers. Without it, they would simply not think about food and drink, and feel that life has lost its meaning.

She believes that people all have similar preferences. Chili peppers captured the hearts of so many people in the previous life. Sichuan restaurants, Hunan restaurants, and spicy hot pot restaurants opened all over the country. Spicy strips have become a snack suitable for all ages. People who eat spicy food are more There are many more people who don't like spicy food, which means that the market for chili peppers is extremely huge.
