Chapter 587: Jiangcheng
Chapter 587 Jiangcheng
Why are you tutting, second sister? Are these dishes not delicious? But Brother Cheng has eaten the dishes cooked by my wife. They are very delicious, but they are just a little bit worse than those made by second sister.
As expected, he is a good younger brother, and in the end he did not forget to flatter his second sister.
Gu Jinli said with a smile: "It's not a question of whether they taste good or not, it's that these dishes are not suitable for sale in restaurants in the town."
Brother Cheng: Why?
Gu Jinli: "Those who come to restaurants in town to eat are not from wealthy families, and a meal will not cost more than five taels. The recipe given by Mrs. Xia only costs five taels per dish, and no one can cook it." We will spend money to eat. We in the countryside have to make some delicious but low-cost dishes. If we make such expensive dishes, others will say that our restaurant is sick."
Brother Cheng thought for a while and said, "In the countryside, we sell cheap vegetables, while in the city we sell Mrs. Xia's vegetables."
Then he said: "Brother Cheng understands. When will the second sister cook? What new dishes will we eat tonight?"
Want to eat.
The second sister has been teaching her aunt, cousin Le, and the two cooks at her aunts family to cook recently. During this period, their family has two new dishes every day.
Gu Jinli looked at the sky and said, "Today we will make squirrel fish, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, and sweet-scented osmanthus crystal cake."
Brother Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Three, make three today, you can eat a lot."
Gu Jinan changed into a coarse linen robe for working, walked out of the house, looked at Brother Cheng and said: "You can only eat two pieces of each item, not more."
Brother Cheng became anxious and begged: "Brother, the second sister said that I am growing taller and need to eat more."Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
Gu Jinan: "Eat until you are full, and then you can't sleep and complain that your stomach feels uncomfortable?"
This little guy loves to eat new things. Recently, he has been eating a lot of delicious food every day as if it were Chinese New Year. However, the two brothers live together. If he feels uncomfortable eating, he has to wait on him and worry about what he will do. You wont get sick from eating too much.
Mrs. Cui and the third grandma were making cotton-padded jackets. When she heard this, Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "Brother Cheng, listen to your elder brother and don't overeat. Overeating will ruin your stomach."
But I feel very distressed. This child likes to eat. I guess he has been hungry since he was a child. Now he always wants to eat.
Gu Jinli said: "It's not high, but it's a little higher than the cost of squirrel fish and crystal cake."
Glutinous rice and sugar are expensive, but lotus root is very cheap. And this dish uses lotus root as the most used ingredient, so overall, it is not that expensive.
"One section of lotus root can fill a plate, and a plate costs fifty cents. It's still profitable." Gu Jinli had already written down the cost of these dishes and handed them to Qi Kangle: "Two dishes, one pastry, osmanthus The profit from glutinous rice and lotus root is less, but the other two kinds make twice as much. The key to opening a restaurant is to earn less from this and more from that. All in all, as long as the profit is good, it will be enough."
Gu Jinli kept moving his hands. After teaching them how to make sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, he also taught them how to make squirrel fish and sweet-scented osmanthus crystal cake.
Little boss, this is the squirrel fish. Look at the flower-like fish body, it really looks like a squirrels tail.
And this crystal cake is so crystal clear that you can see the osmanthus soaked in it.
The two cooks were very impressed by the squirrel fish and crystal cake. They said a lot of good things. When they took off their chopsticks, they didn't dare to pick up the crystal cake for fear of breaking such a beautiful thing.
Gu Jinli started eating directly and handed a piece to Brother Cheng. Seeing that the little guy's eyes were bright after eating, he asked him: "Is it delicious?"
Yeah, its delicious. The food made by the second sister is the best. Cheng Geer brought a wooden bowl and took five pieces of crystal cake from the plate: Take it for my mother and the others to eat.
Brother Cheng held the wooden bowl and took the crystal cake to Cui and the others.
Mr. Cui, Third Grandma, Gu Jinxiu, Sister Li and Zhu Camellia all thought it was good after eating it.
The next day, Gu Jinli made three cups of duck and soy sauce chicken. Both dishes tasted very good and both used soy sauce.
Gu Jinli has made several jars of soy sauce since May. When the weather is hot, he has to stir the sauce jars every day. After working hard for more than half a year, he can finally eat it.
But you need to boil the soy sauce before eating. The boiled soy sauce is easier to store and more delicious.
She, Mrs. Cui, Gu Jinxiu, the third grandma, Sister Li, and Zhu Camellia boiled the soy sauce for most of the day, and finally boiled the soy sauce into a bright maroon color.
Zhu Camellia's family worked as a maid in a wealthy family. When she saw the soy sauce, she said curiously: "Little boss, why is this soy sauce similar to minced fresh soy sauce and tastes very similar?"
She has tasted a little bit.
Gu Jinli said: "Is it similar? But it is different from minced sauce."
The cost of soy sauce is much cheaper than that of glutinous rice paste, which is just salt and soybeans. Unlike glutinous rice paste, it is made from pickled meat.
