However, there was no other way; the shop would be opening in a few days, and everything had to be 100% prepared.
However, it did not disappoint her. It was fresh, elegant, with simple chrysanthemums as light as water, and decorated with fiery red chili peppers. It was a separate little room that complemented the spring flowers and autumn moon, adapting to the scenery of all four seasons.
An open-plan kitchen workspace, and fresh, unconventional work clothes.
The wind chime ornament, paired with modern Nordic-style wall decorations, is topped with a ring-sized pearl, surrounded by a soft halo of light.
Each element blends together, achieving the same result through different means, returning to its origins, like a gentle breeze, pleasant and comfortable.
However, the ingredients and flavors are so diverse and popular.
Bai Yu took out a piece of corn cake from the kitchen counter and said while eating, "I have to say, although I thought it was strange when you gave me the picture before, the decoration is actually quite good and very novel."
Xie Lingqin smiled.
This is a modern-style renovation, so it's naturally novel.
Bai Yu clicked her tongue in praise, and after finishing a piece of pastry, she changed the subject again, "But, this 'maocai' you mentioned, all the tools are prepared as you said, how's the taste?"
Bai Yu glanced at Yan She from head to toe, expressing deep skepticism.
He simply didn't believe that Yan She would personally take care of the work.
Those thin arms and legs, so slender and delicate, definitely don't belong to that group.
"Hey, Yan She, kid, which family do you belong to?"
"General's Mansion".
"The...General's Mansion?" Bai Yu immediately jumped up. "No wonder you have a crush on the eldest daughter of the Xie family, it turns out...you are the head of the guards of the General's Mansion, or..."
"I'm the one who sweeps horse manure at the General's Mansion."
"What?"
Do you believe it?
I don't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, come over here. I have something to tell you."
Xie Lingqin beckoned mischievously, dipped her finger in tea, and drew something on the table. Bai Yu looked at it, her eyebrows almost drooping. "No way, like this?"
"Yes, this is the technique and trick to cooking these foods. Watch it once, and then I'll show you how to cook them, and you can watch it again."
Bai Yu nodded, then suddenly realized something, "Wait, do you mean I'll be the head chef here from now on?"
"It's not you, it's everyone in this shop who can become a head chef from now on."
Bai Yu swallowed hard, her lips twitching. "You should show me what you've got first, let me try it. Otherwise, I, who's not picky about food, might throw up..."
Xie Lingqin gave a cold laugh.
Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot).
In a past life, I once went to a certain place to carry out a mission. The local specialty was so popular that everyone from sixty-year-old seniors to young children was delighted and happy.
She ate it by chance once and became addicted. Given her identity in her previous life, how could she possibly be able to eat it all the time?
So she learned this skill from that master.
I never imagined that I could make money here.
Xie Lingqin asked Bai Yu to prepare the necessary ingredients before entering the open kitchen.
Every movement was fluid and efficient, with nothing superfluous. In the large pot, the hot water was boiling, and the fresh vegetables were cooked.
Before anything was prepared, the aroma of fresh vegetables filled the air.
Xie Lingqin placed the blanched greens, bean sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, chrysanthemum greens, fresh meat, fish balls, etc., into a large bowl, and then prepared the seasonings.
This place is not comparable to modern times, and there are fewer seasonings available. However, fortunately, Xie Lingqin had made ample preparations when she decided to open the Maocai restaurant, and found many substitutes.
So when the last bit of cilantro and sesame seeds were sprinkled on, the aroma from the heat of the food immediately made Baiyu's mouth water, and he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
At first, upon tasting it, it seemed to reject it.
Then……
"Waaaah... It's so spicy... Ah, it's delicious... So refreshing... So fragrant... So crispy, so wonderful..."
Bai Yu kept clicking her tongue as she ate.
Her already jade-like face was flushed with a rosy hue from the chili peppers and the heat.
It was truly exhilarating.
Xie Lingqin was very satisfied.
She knew that Maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot) had a bright future in Beirong.
Because of the cold and damp weather during the autumn and winter seasons at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, the residents of Taipei Veterans General Hospital have a more diverse and flavorful diet, and they do not stick to old rules but prefer variety.
Spicy, sour, sweet—I'll eat them all.
Maocai, on the other hand, is characterized by its spiciness and mildness.
Choosing dishes according to one's own taste breaks with the eating habits of this era, allowing for more novelty by seasoning them oneself.
Of course, the key is how to maintain this sense of novelty.
"By the way, where did you put the things I had someone send you before?"
Xie Lingqin remembered and asked.
Bai Yu was enjoying her meal when she glanced up at her amidst her busy schedule. "What are those things for? They're not worth much. But I put them in the inner room. Go and take a look."
"Um."
Come to think of it, I had Zihe find someone to deliver it yesterday when I had some free time.
Xie Lingqin still remembers Zihe's puzzled expression.
It seems I should let her and the giant clam try it another day.
"You're very lucky, this is the first meal I've ever cooked." This is the first meal I've ever made since I transmigrated.
Bai Yu lifted her face from the bowl, looking somewhat surprised, then smiled, "I would have preferred a beauty."
Xie Lingqin glared at her.
Bai Yu continued eating.
"And another thing," Bai Yu called after her, "are you sure you want the waiters I hired to be the way you described?"
"I'm sure, absolutely certain."
Bai Yu slurped up all the soup before putting down the bowl. "Wow, I'm very satisfied with this breakfast. However, it could be spicier."
