Chapter 338 Hot and Sour Noodles
At the same time, a stove was set up at the entrance of Ruyi Tower, and two tables were placed there.
More and more people were passing by the street. Seeing the sign hanging at the door, they stopped to look.
Chen Feng immediately shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. Ruyilou offers a special authentic snack, spicy and delicious hot and sour noodles. I guarantee you've never tasted it before. A bowl is only three cents, and you'll want more."
For a moment, the area was filled with people watching the excitement, but no one was willing to try.
"Sir, would you like to try a bowl? I guarantee it will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste." Chen Feng said to a curious man.
The man shook his head repeatedly. "What is hot and sour rice noodles? What is sour and spicy? Can that thing be delicious?"
Hearing him say this, Chen Feng had an idea and hurriedly asked Liu Dashao to cook a bowl of hot and sour noodles immediately. When the hot and sour noodles came out of the pot, the aroma instantly filled the air.
The crowd around them could not help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the fragrant aroma, and they all showed surprised expressions.
"It smells so good! Why is it so fragrant?"
"Yeah, it makes one salivate just looking at it."
"It's only three cents. Give me a bowl to try."
"Give me a bowl too."
The hot and sour rice noodle exudes an alluring aroma that makes people unable to resist and rush to taste it.
I was immediately conquered by the unique sour and spicy taste of hot and sour noodles.
Diners spread the word, and there was an endless stream of people coming to try this novel snack.
In just one day, hot and sour noodles became popular in Qingshui Town.
Ruyi Tower was bustling with people, and everyone was so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
When the shop closed at night, everyone had a happy look on their faces.
"Miss Chen, this bowl of hot and sour noodles of yours has really done a great job." Liu Dashao spoke first.
Liang Caidun took over the conversation, "Yes, I didn't expect this snack to be so popular. Miss Chen's cooking skills are so good. She is really a cook who was delayed by the doctor!"
Wang Guotou scratched his head and smiled, "That's right, Miss Chen, why don't you just stop opening a clinic and learn how to cook from us."
"I'm not interested in cooking, so I'll leave it to you guys." Chen Qingqing smiled generously, "I just happened to see it in a book, and I didn't expect it to be so popular. I'm glad it can help you all."
"Thanks to this bowl of hot and sour noodles, you didn't see Wu Shiren's face today. It was so gloomy that you could squeeze water out of it." Wang Guotou said with a smile.
Liu Dashao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "How could I not see that all the diners today came to our restaurant. There was no one at Qingshui Restaurant at all."
Chen Feng also had a smile on his face. "Let's keep up the good work and strive to have the store packed every day in the future."
"Okay." Everyone said in unison.
Chen Qingqing knew that just a bowl of hot and sour noodles was not enough to keep the customers. After all, the hot and sour taste was easy to imitate. If Wu Shiren wanted to learn it, he would probably only imitate 70% to 80%.
In order to maintain long-term development in the future, it is necessary to launch Malatang.
In the past, not only hot and sour noodles were popular in the streets and alleys, but spicy hot pot was also popular.
She learned that peppercorns had not yet been fully utilized in this era.
Scarcity makes things valuable. If we can seize this opportunity, Ruyi Tower will surely be able to open branches throughout the Daning Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Chen Qingqing opened the space with her mind and searched for pepper in the transaction column.
As expected, she was pleasantly surprised. Peppercorns cost 200 wen per pound, so she bought two pounds without hesitation. She also bought two bottles of peppercorn oil, which cost 500 wen per bottle.
What was unexpected was that there were pickled peppers. Wouldn’t it be perfect if the pickled pepper flavor was added? I bought two big bags without hesitation.
I touched the cloth bag beside me, and found peppercorns, peppercorn oil, and pickled peppers inside.
Looking at the room full of people, Chen Qingqing felt it necessary to keep it secret, after all, this was related to the future of Ruyi Tower.
"Brother, we've all been working hard all day, let's let the masters rest! Come with me to the room and help me move the bed."
Chen Feng would give priority to matters involving Chen Qingqing. He immediately stood up and said, "It's been a hard day. Everyone should rest early."
As he spoke, he and Chen Qingqing came to the last row of houses at Ruyi Building.
Entering the room, Chen Feng went straight to the bedside, "Little sister, how do we move this bed? Is it because you feel uncomfortable sleeping in this position? It seems that this bed is not good. Otherwise, I will find someone to make you a big bed tomorrow."
"Brother, stop busying yourself. I called you over here because I have something to discuss with you." Chen Qingqing said.
Chen Feng's expression immediately turned serious. "Little sister, what's the matter?"
"I noticed in the store today that customers really like hot and sour noodles and are very satisfied with the dishes in the store. I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and introduce two new flavors.
This hot and sour noodle is easy to imitate. Even if the taste might be a little off, people who haven't tried it will still find it delicious. If we can launch a recipe that no one else can imitate, our business will continue to thrive."
Chen Qingqing took out peppercorns, peppercorn oil, and pickled peppers from the cloth bag and said with a serious look,
"Brother, this is our exclusive secret recipe. The reason I called you over here is because I don't want anyone to know. You must prepare this secret recipe yourself and cannot reveal it to anyone.
There are also two bags of pickled peppers, which can be used to pickle various cold dishes, such as pickled pepper radish and pickled pepper chicken feet. They are the signature dishes of the restaurant. I guarantee that the restaurant across the street will never be able to imitate them even if they work themselves to death.
Chen Feng's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. "Little sister, you said I should make it myself, but I don't know how! And how do you make the pickled radish and pickled chicken feet?"
"Don't worry, I'll teach you myself in a moment." Chen Qingqing instructed solemnly, "These seasonings are something I accidentally discovered, and that person forbade me to share them. You must keep this secret. As the saying goes, a man is innocent until he possesses a treasure. If I were to spread the news, it would probably arouse jealousy."
"Don't worry, little sister. I will never tell anyone about this."
"good."
Chen Feng took the peppercorns and looked at them carefully. "Little sister, this is clearly Sichuan peppercorns. Have you been fooled?"
"Although this looks very similar to Sichuan peppercorns, the taste is completely different. If you don't believe me, try it."
Chen Feng picked up one and put it in his mouth. He immediately felt a numbing sensation all over his mouth, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance. His whole spirit was lifted.
"Little sister, this tastes so good. If you use it to cook in the future, Ruyilou will definitely be a big hit."
In the kitchen.
Chen Qingqing explained as she prepared the dish, "First, prepare white buckwheat broth, tsaoko, sannai, and cloves... grind them into fine powder, then use chicken bones, pork bones, mushrooms, and dried scallops to make the soup.
Finally, put butter or chicken into the wok and stir-fry until hot. Add the prepared chili peppers, peppercorns, and bean paste and stir-fry for a quarter of an hour. Finally, add the bone soup and simmer for another quarter of an hour.
After cooking, you can use it to cook various vermicelli, vegetables, lamb, etc.
