Time passed slowly when Su Li was studying Nothing Strange.
On this day, the Baiwei Building in the Dasu Town was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It finally opened again! As soon as the waiter opened the door, a large number of customers who had been waiting outside immediately came in like a tide!
With the cooperation of the three families, the entire Baiwei Building had been redecorated, and the layout had become different. The most eye-catching thing was the big sign on the side of the counter of the shopkeeper.
"Beggar's Chicken!"
"Is this the new dish, the treasure of the restaurant?!"
"What a strange name."
The customers who sat down focused their eyes and talked about it. When someone saw the bottom of the sign, he immediately exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?! A plate of Beggar's Chicken costs fifty taels. Shopkeeper, why don't you rob someone? "
This cry immediately attracted other customers to look at it, and then the noise became louder. Everyone cursed at once.
"What kind of chicken costs fifty taels? I can go to the brothel for more than half a month without so much money!"
"It's simply bullying. Who can afford it? Isn't it taking us as fools to extort money? "
"Hum … What a shabby restaurant. Goodbye!"
"…"
In the blink of an eye, half of the customers in the restaurant were gone, and the other half were skeptical. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his head and quickly stood up to explain,
"Everyone, the main ingredients and side ingredients of Beggar's Chicken are unique. My boss has even opened a chicken farm in order to raise the chicken specially for Beggar's Chicken. Today, the restaurant is newly opened, and there is a free taste of Beggar's Chicken. If you have enough time, please wait a moment. "
As soon as the words came out, those who were ready to leave immediately stopped, and even many who had left came back. It would be a waste not to eat the free Beggar's Chicken. Moreover, a chicken costs fifty taels. If they could eat it, wouldn't it be a big bargain? They couldn't miss such a benefit.
With such thoughts, many people sat down, ordered some side dishes, and began to wait patiently.
Although Li Shanbao took away all the chefs, the helpers were still there. It was not a problem for them to cook some ordinary side dishes.
The kitchen of the restaurant had already been busy. In order not to take up her time and to improve efficiency, Su Li spent several days refining the steps of Beggar's Chicken. Su Li spent several days to refine the steps of the Beggar's Chicken. Each helper was responsible for one task, such as handling the chicken, spreading the seasonings, roasting the charcoal, and so on.
In this way, the helpers quickly mastered it. Although the Beggar's Chicken made by the assembly line could not be compared with that made by Su Li herself, the taste was not bad.
Su Zipei stood in the middle of the kitchen and became a complete bystander. Although she had memorized the process of making the Beggar's Chicken, she still felt at a loss when she stood here today.
Moreover, looking at the greasy stoves, Su Zipei felt nauseous and wanted to leave immediately.
"You must be Miss Su Zipei who invented the Beggar's Chicken?"
A hearty voice suddenly came from behind her. Su Zipei was so shocked that she almost jumped up. She saw a burly middle-aged man dressed in a chef's uniform looking at her with a smile. His expression actually carried some sincerity and admiration.
This person was a chef!
Su Zipei was slightly flustered and did not dare to show her usual arrogance. She quickly bowed slightly and said, "I am Su Zipei. May I know who you are?"
"Ha-ha, Miss, you are so polite. My name is He Shi. I am just a new chef. Miss, please take care of me in the future."
Seeing Su Zipei treat him so politely, He Shi felt comfortable and thought that it was right to jump to this restaurant. In the original restaurant, he did not have such a high status.
"You are flattering me. I am young and inexperienced. Please take care of me in the future, Uncle He." Su Zipei imitated the adults to say the polite words, but she was uneasy. If He Shi asked her about the Beggar's Chicken, it would be terrible.
"No, no, no. Miss, what are you talking about?"
He Shi's tone was full of admiration and he praised, "The Beggar's Chicken you made is rare in the world! Even the chef of the restaurant in the County Town can't make it. What's more, you can think of the detailed steps of cooking. It's really novel and unique. It's eye-catching! It will be imitated by other restaurants in the future! "
"Ha-ha … Uncle He, you are so polite." Su Zipei smiled very reluctantly, and sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.
Fortunately, as the only chef in the restaurant, He Shi was soon called to work and had no time to ask other questions. Su Zipei stood in the same place for a moment and spat out a mouthful of turbid air, as if to spit out all the pressure she had suffered these days.
Looking at the busy figures around, Su Zipei suddenly felt suffocated.
How could all this be brought by Su Erya?
Su Erya, the ugly and dark-skinned good-for-nothing, how could she become so outstanding? It was definitely not Su Erya who invented these delicacies. She must have learned them secretly.
"Yes, she stole them!"
Su Zipei's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had found the right answer, "It must be the second sister who stole the recipe from somewhere. She just cooks according to the recipe. In fact, she has no talent for cooking at all! If I can also get that recipe, I will definitely be able to replace Su Erya and become a real genius! "
Su Zipei was excited in her heart, and her eyes rolled quickly. No one knew what she was thinking.
For four hours, the guests waiting in the restaurant waited from early morning to noon. The number of people did not decrease, but increased. It was the time for lunch at noon. Many passers-by saw the Baiwei Building full of guests and followed the crowd to wait.
After coming in, people spread the information to each other. The passers-by who didn't know the matter knew about the Beggar's Chicken. In this way, people who were not in a hurry were not in a hurry to leave.
"The dishes are served!!"
An orderly voice came from the kitchen, and a dozen or so waiters came out from the back with plates of food in their hands. Each of their plates had at least two big balls of soil on them.
People who had been looking forward to it for a long time were suddenly shocked, "What is this? The Beggar's Chicken?! "
"You're right, sir!"
A sharp-tongued young man immediately shouted, "This is the famous dish of our restaurant, the Beggar's Chicken. But you haven't seen the real dish yet. Please be patient."
While they were talking, the waiters had put the dishes on the table, just one for each table. Eight people sat around the table, and all looked curiously at the clay balls that were still smoking.
"It's time to see the real appearance of the Beggar's Chicken. Guests, please look carefully!"
The young boy picked up the hammer and gently knocked on the outer mud shell. The mud shell suddenly cracked open from the middle with a "kacha" sound.
Although the other waiters were not as dexterous as the young man, they also successfully knocked the clay shell.
In an instant, the whole restaurant was full of fragrance!
There was a neat sound of inhalation, and the fragrance drifted far away, which attracted many pedestrians to stop and watch. This time, there were dozens of Beggar's Chicken, and the fragrance was stronger. It was more lively than the last time when the three restaurants tasted dishes!
"Wow, it's really fragrant! I have never smelled such a unique fragrance in my life! "
The well-dressed young master seemed to have never seen the world. The knowledgeable middle-aged man beside him nodded and commented, "A good dish must have both color and fragrance. Now the fragrance is enough, and the next step is to look at the color and taste."
"Yes, what Mr. Zhou said is very reasonable!"
"Mr. Zhou is also here. Yes, Mr. Zhou is a famous gourmet. How can he miss such delicious food?"
The middle-aged man called Mr. Zhou was so hungry that he pointed to the Beggar's Chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and asked, "Waiter, do we have to wrap the Beggar's Chicken in lotus leaves? I have tasted the taste of lotus leaves, and it is not so wonderful. "
"You must be joking, sir."
The young man smiled brightly, untied the cotton thread quickly, peeled off the lotus leaves, and revealed the whole golden chicken inside. The fragrance of the whole restaurant rose to a higher level.
"Good, good, good!"
Mr. Zhou said "good" three times in a row, and continued to comment, "Although the whole chicken is not round enough, we are in a hurry today, so it is understandable. The color of this chicken is golden, and the chicken skin is intact, which shows that it has been specially treated. But I don't know if there is a secret in the belly of the chicken, or it will be too empty to eat only one chicken. "
Before he finished his words, people at other tables had already begun to eat, and only vague "It's delicious!" could be heard. People at this table had long been drooling, but they dared not to eat because Mr. Zhou had not moved his chopsticks.
Mr. Zhou smiled apologetically, picked up a knife and cut the chicken in the middle, revealing the chic stuffing.
"Good! There is really a secret. This dish deserves the word "signature". In this way, my Dasu Town finally has its own famous restaurant. I am very relieved. "
As he said, people at the table had begun to eat. Mr. Zhou calmly picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. His eyes suddenly brightened, and he chewed it quickly.
Although he wanted to pretend to be knowledgeable, the chicken was too delicious. His hands immediately sped up and joined the army of scrambling for the chicken.
"What are you doing? This piece of meat is mine! "
"You are robbing me. You have eaten so much. Can't you give this piece to me?!"
"Motherf * cker, when have I ever been robbed of food in my life? Beat him up!"
"…"
It seemed that they were about to fight. Fortunately, the constables who had been waiting outside the door rushed in, and the dispute was instantly extinguished. The shopkeeper looked at the scene and felt relieved. The new boss's means were really superb. He even thought of this point.
"Fang Yuan is very clever. Fortunately, I was softhearted and accepted him at that time. Otherwise, I may not have such a good effect today."
The shopkeeper looked at the little boy shuttling in the crowd and couldn't help laughing. He heard that the boy had a younger sister to support. Well, he would be rewarded today.
"Shopkeeper, give me another plate of Beggar's Chicken. I will spend the fifty taels!"
The rich young master took out fifty taels and put it on the table, and said loudly. Other rich people followed suit and took out fifty taels one after another. The Beggar's Chicken had completely conquered them.
Those who were not rich could only be envious and secretly scold profiteers.
