NOVEL NEXT Chapter 157 Spring Chicken
The aroma of grilled lamb chops and steamed buns spread to the outhouse canteen, and some customers started asking if they were available.
The guests wanted to eat, so of course Mao Xi had to satisfy their stomachs.
Ah Xing cooperated, poured lemonade for the guests and said, "There are some, please wait a moment, drink some lemonade first, it will be ready soon."
She returned to the kitchen and kneaded the dough, and everyone returned to their respective posts.
Yaomei and Dajiang helped prepare the fillings for the mutton buns.
For the second batch of roasted mutton buns, Mao Xi directly wrapped them into the shape of buns and made more than 20 of them.
The buns were just baked from the kiln and served to the tables of several diners.
Luda returned to the shop at the right time, still holding the pheasant he had just caught while hunting.
He handed the three pheasants to Mao Xi: "Shopkeeper, I just shot them in the suburbs. Do you think you can stew them in soup or roast them for dinner?"
"You're back just in time. Wash your hands quickly and eat mutton buns."
Ludago really doesn’t forget to go hunting even on holidays.
“This roasted mutton bun is so delicious!”
Luda ate baked buns and came to his place: the coffee room.
Seeing Mu Zhiyuan brewing coffee skillfully, he smiled and said: "Brother Mu, I think you are more suitable to sell coffee here than me."
Mu Zhiyuan smiled slyly: "From tomorrow on, I will be selling coffee with you here!"
After asking Da Jiang to kill the three pheasants, Mao Xi took out a handful of celery from the kitchen.
These three pheasants were not big in size. She took out the breast meat separately for cooking, and put the rest into the stew pot to stew soup.
Wash the chicken breasts, pat them loosely with the back of a knife, and cut into shreds.
Yaomei took the freshly washed celery and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you want to fry the celery when shredding the chicken?"
“On a spring day, stir-fried shredded chicken with celery is just right.”
Mao Xi puts the shredded chicken into a bowl, adds salt, rice wine, egg white, and starch, mix well and marinate.
Next, mince the ginger and shred the celery.
Heat the lard in a pan until medium cooked, add shredded chicken and start stir-frying.
As soon as the chicken is put in, there will be a sizzling sound, and the shredded chicken will immediately turn from red to white. Take it out and prepare it first.
Leave the oil in the pot, heat it up, add the celery shreds and stir-fry.
The aroma of celery is stirred out in the hot pot, exuding the freshness of spring.
At this time, pour the shredded chicken into the pot and stir-fry a few times, then add minced ginger, sugar, and pepper.
Pick up the pot, put it away from the heat, stir-fry for two minutes, then put it on a plate, and finally sprinkle some chopped green onion.
Mao Xi put the dishes on the table and called everyone to come for dinner.
Having just eaten a few roasted mutton buns, Luda couldn't eat at all.
But the shredded chicken stir-fried by Maoxi is so fragrant!
He picked up a piece of shredded chicken and put it in his mouth.
The originally dry chicken breast became extremely tender through Ma Xi's cooking skills.
The tenderness of the meat and the crispness of the celery collide in the mouth, stimulating the wild taste of spring.
Mao Xi closed her eyes and thought about it. In her mind, she seemed to see a pheasant dancing on the grass and saying to her, come here...
"Sister, sister! What are you thinking about?" Little Ajiao's words interrupted Ma Xi's "daydream".
Mao Xi put some celery into the banana bowl and said, "Don't be picky about food, eat more vegetables!"
Nalan Jue and Su Xuexu happened to come to the shop. He smelled the fried chicken with celery on the table, and asked Ma Xi: "Girl, is this dish of yours fried chicken with celery?"
"Exactly, Su Xueguo, would you like a copy?"
"Haha, I often make this dish at home. You guys eat first, and I'll buy the green dumplings."
The waiter at the shop wrapped the qingtuan balls in the food box for Su Xuexue and Nalan Jue.
Nalan Jue bought some more jujube cakes and steamed buns, and asked the waiter Ah Xing: "Liu Xiang Snacks, have you participated in the food exchange meeting held in Juding Tower?"
Ah Xing nodded: "Our shop is participating. I heard that other shops in Qingxianglou and Lihua Town are also participating."
"Have you decided on the dishes for your participation?" Nalan Jue asked curiously.
After finishing the meal, Ma Xi came to the outer hall to greet Xuexue and Nalan Jue: "We haven't started voting yet. Xuexue and Nalan Jue, do you have any good suggestions?"
Su Xueguu likes to eat fish, and he recommends Mao Xi to make fish with coriander or squirrel mandarin fish.
Nalan Jue was a little embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, Miss Ah Shu, I think every dish in your shop is fine. Unfortunately, we can't vote. The final selection depends on the county magistrate."
Mao Xi didn't care about the competition. She hoped that there would be more onlookers this time, so that more people in the town and county could know her Liuxiang Snack Shop.
"Whether you can be selected or not is not the most important thing. I asked Shopkeeper Gao about it, and it seems that there are quite a lot of awards to be selected. I think everyone who participates will have a chance, and I hope you will support me a lot when the time comes."
Kaitang County, inside Miss Zhou's house.
The maid Xiaohong came back with Liuxiang snacks. Mr. Sun and Miss Zhou ate deliciously.
Miss Zhou saw that Mr. Sun had not proposed a business idea to her recently, so she took the initiative and asked: "Ms. sir, dad has never let you go to Mimai. I don't think we need to wait any longer. Let's just open a shop. You Have you decided what kind of business you want to do?”
Mr. Sun had never done business, nor had he made any decisions in business. He hesitated: "Madam, can I do it? I have never done business, and I am worried that if I do not manage it well, I will lose all the money you have saved. "
Instead, Miss Zhou encouraged: "In business, it's normal to make profits and losses. How about we open a food shop, a small restaurant, or a tea house? Do you have any ideas?"
Mr. Su felt a little ashamed when he saw that his wife was always thinking about him.
Since Miss Zhou likes Liuxiang snacks so much, he would also open a small restaurant in Kaitang County and hire some chefs to cook the dishes.
Mr. Su told Miss Zhou his idea.
"Ms. sir, I support you in your decision. It's just that it's hard to hire a good chef. It would be best if you could invite the shopkeeper of Liuxiang Snacks to our restaurant. If you can't invite her, let's see if she is willing to work with us. Open in partnership.”
Mr. Sun understood that it was easy to find a cook, but it was difficult to find a cook, but it was difficult for shopkeeper Shu Xi to take charge of the dishes: "Madam, it's better to wait until you give birth before making any plans for this matter."
"Okay, let's plan the location of the restaurant first. Isn't there going to be a food exchange meeting at Juding Tower in the next few days? We can take this opportunity to identify some people with excellent cooking skills and let them join our restaurant in the future. "
"My lady is still thoughtful."
