MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant-Chapter 30 Time Economics
Shen Shaoguang was a little surprised by the new chef Yu San's fish cooking skills, and later he cooked fish dishes such as vinegar fish, steamed fish, fresh fish and sheep.
For these fish dishes, diners are also very supportive, especially fresh fish and sheep, which are the most popular.
There are some dishes in this dynasty that are so complicated that Shen Shaoguang is confused, such as the well-known "Hun Yang Di Su". To select tender goose, the goose belly is filled with meat and glutinous rice, the seasoning is finished, and it is placed in the goat cavity. Roast the sheep with an open fire, and when it is cooked, the sheep do not eat it, only the goose...
It was also peeled off, revealing the tender meat - similar to the so-called beggar chicken in later generations. But this is eaten by nobles, which is naturally more troublesome than the beggar chicken eaten by beggars. This meat has to be oiled again, then stewed in water for three days and three nights, and then seasoned...①
There are quite a few kinds of this kind of food in the imperial meal, and Shen Shaoguang categorizes them as the series of "I don't eat food, but trouble". This series of dishes is about the products of the nobles who have been in peace for a long time, and the nobles have nowhere to sway their energy.
Children, synthesize a word "fresh".
But the people of this dynasty did not pay attention to eating pork, and Yusan was not good at pork dishes.
In fact, Yu San was also surprised by Shen Shaoguang's "Agate Meat" and "Lion Head", that someone could cook hog meat with such a taste...
When discussing the value of pork dishes, Shen Shaoguang was taking A Yuan and Yu San out for an autumn tour.
Chongyang Festival autumn tour climbing is an old custom, Shen Shaoguang sold a Chongyang cake economically during the festival, but it was sold the day before the festival. On Chongyang, everyone went out on horseback early to play .
Originally, Shen Shaoguang was thinking about whether to find another tourist resort to set up a stall, but this autumn tour place is not so concentrated. There are also literati and scholars who choose Qujiang Pavilion and Linwei Pavilion, who recite poems and compose poems, as well as temples and Taoist temples in and outside the city, which are also places for autumn tours.
The flow of people is not concentrated, and climbing is a moving process, how many people can stop and get off the horse to buy food?
Assuming this, Shen Shaoguang gave up, and simply brought A Yuan and Yu San out to take a vacation to relax.
Shen Shaoguang is lazy, and doesn't want to get together in the crowd when he doesn't want to make money. He compared Leyouyuan and Qujiangbian, and chose the latter - Shen Shaoguang thinks, this may be because of relative Compared with the "benevolent", he is also a "wise man".
Shen Shaoguang is indeed wise this time, the people of Chang'an scourge Qujiangchi three hundred and sixty-five days a year, but there are really not many people here today.
The sky in late autumn is blue and blue, the water of the Qujiang River is clear and clear, and there are three or two cruise ships on the river. There is a banquet at Qujiang Pavilion.
, took out the pot containing buttermilk, opened the snack box containing walnut cake, pea yellow, Aiwowo, and chrysanthemum cake, and took out a packet of minced meat cakes in a paper bag.
A Yuan cheered, and was obviously more interested in salty meat than various sweets.
This cake is stuffed with lion head meat stuffing. Although it is a little cold, it is still fragrant.
Recently, Shen Shaoguang's pork dishes have become more and more superb, often turning corruption into magic.
A Yuan took a bite and boasted, "The little lady cooks the best food!" Then she added, "There is nothing better than the hog meat made by the little lady."
Yu San was a little surprised at the delicate and delicious pork dishes in the store, but after these days, it is normal.
After listening to Ah Yuan's words, Yu San slowly inserted a knife, "That's right, otherwise how could it be expensive?" A plate of four lion heads is almost the same price as a plate of grilled lamb. But what is the price of hog meat? What's the price of mutton?
A Yuan couldn't stand Yu San's yin and yang weirdness: "Why do you say that!"
Shen Shaoguang felt that although Yu San's words were true, he still needed to look beyond the appearance to see the essence.
Raising her hand to stop Ah Yuan, Shen Shaoguang gave his chef an economics training: "What you call 'cheap' is only for materials, not including labor costs, time costs, and intellectual costs."
"A piece of hog meat is cheap, but we scald it, stir it, stew it, steam it again, add seasonings, and serve it with beautiful utensils—" Shen Shaoguang paused, " Of course, there are no beautiful utensils yet, and there will be in the future. After this action, this piece of hog meat will not be the same as before—"
A Yuan and Yu San looked up at her.
"It's a hog meat that has a big banquet and a valuable audience!"
Yu San: "…"
After thinking about it, A Yuan nodded sharply.
Shen Shaoguang began to "seek and cite widely" as he spoke, "For example, there is a so-called 'foster mother' in the south, who buys a young girl from a poor family, teaches piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing and singing, etc. When they are old, they will be sold to the residences of the nobles in Liangjing, or Pingkang Hualou, or the giants of Lianghuai." I don't know if there are also at this time, Shen Shaoguang is talking about the "skinny horses of Yangzhou" in later generations.
"When the young girl bought it, it was only a tael of silver, and when she sold it, it tasted like a thousand eight hundred tael."
A Yuan pumped her gas, and calculated how many herself could be bought by 1800.
Yu San looked at the new owner of the house and felt that it was a bit difficult to explain.
"What's the reason? Because there is the education cost of 'mother' in the middle! It's like our pig meat dish..."
Suddenly I heard a voice from the woods behind me, Shen Shaoguang turned back, A Yuan and Yu San also turned their heads to look, it was a man wearing a crow cyan round neck robe and a moon white robe, that The man in the moon-white robe was smiling and trembling.
Not Lin Shaoyin and his friend, but who?
Shen Shaoguang rolled his eyes in his heart, eavesdropping on people's words is so arrogant! I also wondered where these two people came from, it is estimated that they escaped from the banquet at Qujiangting over there, and walked around the woods to this side. This can happen, is it evil?
Lin Yan pursed her lips and nodded in return, while Pei Fei smiled and said, "I see the little lady again."
Shen Shaoguang smiled.
"Last time I ate the moon fortune cake made by the little lady. It was very good!" But she "researched and cited" for a while, and it would be frivolous and vulgar to mention it again, so she only talked about the moon cake last time. Later, Pei Fei asked Steward Zhou in the end, knowing that the cake was made by this little lady Shen.
Traveling to the Tang Dynasty, Shen Shaoguang acted according to the principle of a lady, and his face was a lot thinner. The nonsense just made these two people hear it. It was a little embarrassing, but it also seemed a little embarrassing to Pei Fei. The person who was with you, the embarrassment disappeared, and immediately asked with a smile: "I think Lang Jun has a good luck, and I drew a good lottery."
"Hahaha, of course, of course." Pei Fei laughed.
Shen Shaoguang continued to smile, and there was nothing bad in the sign... Sure enough, it is human nature to love to hear good things! If it wasn't for his amazing cooking skills, he would be able to go to a well-off life by being a female crown or a sister-in-law, setting up a stall at the gate of the temple Guanyu to draw lots and cancel the lottery. A half fairy who was delayed by cooking!
"Someone thinks that the little lady's signature is very accurate, comparable to Master Liao Chen of Qinglong Temple." Pei Fei and Shen Shaoguang have a good heart again.
Be smart! True bosom friend! Shen Shaoguang lowered his face halfway and smiled reservedly: "Lang Jun is joking."
Listening to these two people talking nonsense, thinking of the astonishing words of this little lady Shen just now, Lin Yan pursed his lips again: "This way, we won't disturb the girl's autumn tour." Then he nodded slightly to Shen Shaoguang, looked at Pei Fei again, and was about to leave.
Pei Fei also nodded to Shen Shaoguang to say goodbye, "The autumn is high and the air is refreshing, and the little lady is happy in autumn."
A Yuan and Yu San also saluted.
Pei Fei caught up with Lin Yan, "Don't you think that the moon cake sign you drew is not accurate? You are always so cold and indifferent to the little ladies, the sign is not accurate..."
Tsk! Gee! Then my signature is too accurate! That Pushe's granddaughter, in terms of appearance and demeanor, can also be called "good". The key point is that she seems to be quite interested in this Shao Yin... In fact, Pang Erniang is also quite cute. Hey, Gao Fushuai, even if it is a facial paralysis, girls like it one after another.
Yan dogs... Shen Shaoguang shook his head helplessly.
