Li Yan, a university graduate and village official dedicated to poverty alleviation, accidentally transmigrated into Li Family Village, nestled in a mountain gully. Her family was impoverished. Due...
Qian Wang drank a glass as punishment and muttered, "It's really hard for General Qin. These 300,000 mouths have so much consumption every day. Relying on the court, huh..."
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Come in." Qian Wang said.
Shopkeeper Qian walked into the private room, his face beaming as he said, "Master, the girl who sold us the recipe is here again, and this time she's brought a new recipe!"
Hearing this, Qian Wang became interested and stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look!"
Li Yan followed her cousin to the kitchen. When the chefs saw her, they greeted her politely, "Miss, did you bring any new dishes today?"
Li Yan smiled and replied, "Yes, I'd like to ask all the masters to say a few good words for me in front of Shopkeeper Qian later!"
Everyone laughed, and the chefs really appreciated this cheerful girl.
Li Yan asked her cousin to invite Zhou and his son in from outside the backyard door. She happened to pick two fish to try.
After receiving the order, Li Jianmin quickly asked the kitchen boy to do it.
Here, Li Yan asked the chefs for some side dishes and seasonings needed to cook the fish. When everything was ready, the fish was cleaned and brought over.
Li Yan took the fish, put it on the chopping board and started slicing it.
At this moment, the chefs wished they could stand next to Li Yan and record every detail.
Li Yan looked at everyone's eager gazes and pointed at one of them: "Come and help me with the film!"
The person who was pointed out was overjoyed and stood happily next to Li Yan.
"Like this: cut the fish from the head first, take out the bones, and then fillet it along the grain? Do you know how to do it?"
The chef nodded and followed Li Yan's instructions to fillet the fish in a short while. After all, he was a professional, and his knife skills were much better than Li Yan's.
The seasonings in this restaurant are much more than those at home. In addition to onions, ginger, garlic, oil, and salt, there are also cooking wine, vinegar, and soy sauce.
After the fish is marinated, start heating oil in a pan, sauté the onions and garlic, add the fish fillets to the soup made from fish bones, and the last and most important thing is to sauté the Sichuan peppercorns in hot oil, pour it into the prepared fish, and then pour hot oil on it. You will hear a sizzling sound and a special aroma will fill the air.
Qian Wang stood on the steps, watching everything in the kitchen, raised his chin to the shopkeeper Qian behind him, and turned back to the private room.
Shopkeeper Qian understood and trotted into the kitchen, saying to Li Yan, "Thank you for your hard work, young lady. I'll make another one. I'll take this one away first!"
Li Yan was originally planning to do another one, so she nodded in response and continued to work.
Over there, Shopkeeper Qian walked into the room carrying the food and placed it respectfully on the table.
Qian Wang couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth. A strange, spicy and numbing taste spread from the tip of his tongue throughout his mouth, and a unique aroma lingered in his nose. It was a taste he had never tasted before.
Qian Wang couldn't help but taste it again. After one bite, he felt an indescribable tingling sensation on his tongue that made Qian Wang unable to stop.
"Try it, it's good!" Qian Wang said to Xing Yun.
Seeing Qian Wang's expression that said it would be a loss if he didn't try it, Xing Yun finally picked up his chopsticks.
After taking a bite of the Sichuan pepper fish, Xing Yun's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" I didn't expect that this little girl actually has some skills.
While eating, Qian Wang told Shopkeeper Qian, "We must get this recipe! Go get it!"
After receiving the young master's instructions, Shopkeeper Qian turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Suddenly a male voice called out to Shopkeeper Qian.
