Chapter 38: Spices
"Miss Huang is this..." Zhang Manager Zhang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"These things are only available in this company and there is no branch. If the shopkeeper thinks they need them, the prices are easy to negotiate."
"As long, I understand."
"Of course, if you use these ingredients to stew this thing at the door of the store, the fragrance will be fragrant. By virtue of the taste, you can attract a large bowl of dishes to the store for meals. If Manager Zhang doesn't believe it, you can give it a try today."
"Okay, I'll give you a good word. I'll give it a try today. But, how should I use this?" Zhang Manager Zhang looked at Huang Yiyun, then looked at the five cloth bags in his hand and asked.
Manager Zhang also knew that Huang Yiyun was afraid that she would not take this matter to heart, so she repeatedly reminded herself.
"It depends on what dish the shopkeeper cooks. If it is braised pork, it will be cooked directly and stewed with braised pork. If it is chicken feet, chicken legs, duck legs, duck legs, duck heads, etc., boil them with water, add wine, green onion, ginger, garlic and this pack of ingredients, and put salt out of the pot. And......... As for how much it needs, it depends on the chef's. "Huang Yiyun said most of the words to Zhang Zhang and taught Zhang all the dishes he had learned.
Since his grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another in his previous life, Huang Yiyun has basically stayed at home in the city, either watching TV series or watching Douyin.
Most of the Douyin I watch teaches food and cooking.
Over time, Huang Yiyun was also interested and often bought and cooked it by himself according to the dishes taught on Douyin.
I don’t know if she has the talent to cook. Not to mention learning 10% or 10% or 10% of her studies will always be able to learn 10% or 10% or 10% of her studies.
The dishes that Huang Yiyun taught Zhang Jiangui were all learned by Huang Yiyun on Douyin in his previous life.
"Do you know that you cook a lot of dishes? If you need it, you can go to the kitchen to help. The salary is easy to say." Zhang Manager Zhang glanced at Huang Yiyun and said.
"Well, if there is really a need at that time, there will be a lot of money for the shopkeeper." Huang Yiyun refused without a sigh of relief.
No one knows whether the asking for help will happen.
After Huang Yiyun left, Manager Zhang took a look at the five cloth bags in his hand, raised his foot and walked towards the kitchen.
"Lao Wang, come here." Zhang Manager Zhang waved to an obese middle-aged man in the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, wait until I finish this dish."
"Okay, no hurry, let's talk about it after you finish your work." Manager Zhang sat on the bench outside the kitchen and waved his hand at the old Wang.
"Shopkeeper, what are you asking me for?" After Lao Wang finished cooking the dishes in his hand, he cleaned up the rest for the chef. He walked into Zhang Zhang and asked with a smile.
With his white and fat body, he looks like a smiling Buddha.
"Let's go, I can't explain this clearly here. I have to say in the kitchen that this is the case..." Zhang Manager Zhang directly said the recipe for a dish taught by Huang Yiyun, and threw the five cloth bags to Lao Wang, asking Lao Wang to add these ingredients to make a pork belly dish.
"Just this matter? The method is similar to the original one, but I just added this thing, so I'll try it."
Then, Lao Wang took out more than one pound of pork belly, which was fat and thin, changed it into a flower knife, cut it into a square shape of a moderately sized piece, put it in a pot with cold water, and started to pass the water.
While passing the water, throw the onion, ginger, garlic, wine, and cloth bags given by Huang Yiyun and cook them together.
As the water boiled, a faint fragrance came. After the boiling time, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and quickly filled the entire kitchen.
"What's so good? Shopkeeper, what's here?" Old Wang took a deep breath and asked Shopkeeper Zhang.
"I don't know, I'll cook first."
After seeing that the same thing, Lao Wang skipped off the foam, took it out and washed it and set it aside.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do with this cloth bag?" Lao Wang passed the pork belly water. Although it was not that strong after washing it in cold water, the fragrance was still unchanged and suffocated, which smelled very good. Suddenly, Lao Wang hesitated to discard the spices directly.
"Let it aside first, and you can continue to make pork belly." Manager Zhang pondered for a moment and ordered.
"Okay."
Then heat the pot slightly, pour in an appropriate amount of cooking oil, add sugar, and stir-fry over low heat.
Stir-fry until the sugar has melted, and start to rise from the bottom of the pot to the top.
After stir-frying out the sugar color, pour the pork belly beside it into the pot, turn to medium heat, stir-fry quickly, and wrap each piece of pork belly with sugar color.
Continue adding ginger slices and stir-fry.
Add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, stir-fry evenly, pour in hot water, then start seasoning, add an appropriate amount of salt, and then put a packet of cloth bags given by Huang Yiyun into it and simmer together on low heat for half an hour.
After the juice is collected, you can take the pot and put it on the plate.
But as the spices were turned to low heat and simmered slowly, the aroma became stronger and stronger when the pack of spices was stewed with pork belly.
Until it is red and has a strong flavor after it is released.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, try it." Lao Wang handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhang Zhang and said.
He had made pork belly for many years, but he didn't know that the braised pork he made was so fragrant.
"Well, it's soft, smooth, fat but not greasy. It has a unique flavor compared to the braised pork I made before. It's a bit delicious. It's both color, fragrance and taste, delicious, delicious." Zhang Zhang said after eating several pieces.
Lao Wang also picked up the chopsticks, picked up the braised pork and started eating.
After a while, they looked at each other and thought of something, and looked at the cloth bag with their eyes.
In the past, the steps to make braised pork were similar. The only difference was to stew this pack of spices and pork belly, which changed the color, taste and aroma of braised pork.
After they opened the spice bag, they saw that there were only some broken pieces of leaves and vase inside. After they looked carefully, they smelled it again, and couldn't recognize what it was, and they became a little disappointed.
"Shopkeeper, if you have these spices to cook, then every meat dish will be less delicious than before. I guess it will lead many customers to come to our store for dinner?" said the old king.
"How could I not know this?" Customers come to the store to eat in a restaurant that is nothing more than enjoying the taste buds. The food is delicious, so naturally more people will come to the store. With word of mouth, more people will come to the restaurant. The better the business, the more money you make.
"We can't see what these are. Why don't we take them to the doctors in the pharmacy shop? After all, they have seen many medicinal herbs, so maybe they know them too?"
"Okay, I'll try it, otherwise I'll have to buy it somewhere." But today, seeing Huang Yiyun's calm and confident look on her face, she wouldn't have taken out this thing if she wasn't sure.
Sure enough, Manager Zhang took him to the pharmacy to greet him, and the pharmacy shop staff and doctors didn't know.
