Xu Qizhen put the duck into the stove and began to cut small dishes and make red brine.
"Jinling roast duck is made of red brine. One of the taboos is soy sauce." While doing things, Xu Qizhen explained, "red brine depends on technology. Adding soy sauce coloring is inferior."
Chen Shengji answered, and Xu Qizhen didn't listen carefully.
She works attentively and has excellent knife skills.
Seeing here, the grandfather of the Chen family has learned 50% about the girl's cooking.
The remaining five achievements depend on the taste of the dishes.
It's crucial to know whether it's just a show or not.
They backed out of the kitchen. The grandfather of the Chen family said to his son and grandson, "her Dao skill is the traditional Dao skill of Jinling cuisine. She has learned it. The chef of Jinling is flexible and they can carve flowers with turnips on the spot."
Chen Shengji looked at the direction of the kitchen and said nothing.
Two hours later, Xu Qizhen brought out the roast duck.
The skin and meat of the roast duck had been separated by her with a cold knife and stacked neatly on the plate.
The three grandparents and grandchildren of the Chen family sat down. The old man first lit the red brine next to the seasoning with chopsticks. Marinated seeds are red and bright, with sugar and vinegar added. The sour soup is delicious, and there is no soy sauce.
He tasted it, his eyes shining slightly, and nodded his head without trace.
"Eat crispy while it's hot. You can dip it in sugar or vinegar, or you can eat it directly." Xu Qizhen warned.
The skin of roast duck is red and crisp, but it is not burnt, and the heat is well controlled; The meat inside is fresh and tender. It's even more refreshing when stained with red brine.
The grandfather of the Chen family ate chopsticks for several times before he stopped.
"Yan Zhen is an excellent cook. I don't know that his wife Xu Zhen can run a high-end restaurant."
Xu Qizhen nodded her thanks in a demure manner.
It's settled.
The ancestors and grandchildren of the Chen family ate up the roast duck, asked for a duck rack, went back to make soup, and took the red brine away.
The driver sent President Chen and his grandfather back, and Chen Sheng stayed to deal with the follow-up affairs.
He took out the document: "this is the lease contract. If you have a look at it, Mrs. Yan, you can also take it back to find someone to see."
Xu Qizhen said, "well, I'll take it back first."
Chen Shengji chatted with her and asked her all kinds of questions.
Xu Qizhen told him what he could answer; She avoided answering anything she couldn't answer.
In short, this chat is not particularly interesting, let alone smooth.
The next day, after signing the contract, Chen Shengji said he would invite Xu Qizhen to coffee.
"... are you influenced by your mother because you like cooking?" Chen Shengji asked.
Xu Qizhen said, "no, my mother doesn't cook."
"When my mother was alive, she said that her family had a special cook to teach her. She and her sisters had to be able to cook all kinds of dishes and snacks before they got married." Chen Shengji said.
Xu Qizhen reacted faintly. "It's a pity she left early." Chen Shengji said this and looked up at Xu Qizhen. "I was only five years old when she left. It's a pity. Although I'm a boy, I still hope to have my mother's company in the process of growing up. Later, I also had a stepmother. She is a good person, but she can never replace me
The status of a mother. "
Hearing this, Xu Qizhen stood up.
She looked down at Chen Shengji: "are you Yamamoto's quiet lobbyist?"
Chen Shengji was stunned.
He quickly smiled and said, "what?"
"Have you ever studied in Japan? You always act like you want to nod and bow. You are used to walking with clogs, which others can see.
If you love Yamamoto Jing, go after her in a big way instead of being nosy. If she wants children, go to Yan Ziqing and ask for them. I won't interfere. " Xu Qizhen said.
After that, she grabbed the contract she had signed and tore it up.
She threw the paper on the table: "you're not religious enough about food. I don't think your shop can make the delicious food I want. I'm sorry to disturb you these days."
She turned and quickly stepped out of the cafe.
When I returned to my "Beijing Soviet cuisine" restaurant, I found it deserted.
Xu Qizhen went to the studio.
She painted in the studio all afternoon until someone shouted mommy at the door.
She looked back and found that her painting had strange colors and crazy lines. She immediately put it away and adjusted her expression before she went to open the door.
It was Yan Ziqing who came with two children.
"Today, I sent out the report card of the quiz. Kai Kai is already 37th. He said you promised to reward him when his score rose by five." Yan Ziqing said.
Yan Kai looked excited.
Xu Qizhen will be glad to see that her students have made progress?
"That's good. It's not the third from the bottom." Xu Qizhen said.
Yan Kai's excitement was slightly reduced and a little embarrassed.
He has learned to know shame, which is a good thing, which means he will know how to make progress.
Xu Qizhen asked the guys to leave work. She closed the store door: "I went to buy ducks in the morning, picked some to the store and sent them home. I'll make you roast ducks."
Yan Kai and Yan Qi were overjoyed.
Two children surrounded her happily.
Xu Qizhen locked the door of the store and told them to wait and go to the kitchen to be busy.
Yan Ziqing followed in: "can I help you?"
Xu Qizhen said, "you help me fade the duck feathers and I'll make the marinade. It's faster."
Yan Ziqing really stood by, waiting for the water to boil, and asked about her progress today.
"No more." Asked Xu Qizhen.
Yan Ziqing didn't understand: "why not rent it? You said it was very good there. Are you satisfied?"
"I went to see it again today. It's mainly coffee shops and Western restaurants around. Most of those who go there will choose Western food. Besides, it's President Chen's shop. He asks too much." Xu Qizhen said.
Yan Ziqing looked at her.
Seeing that she refused to say, Yan Ziqing stopped asking.
The roast duck made by Xu Qizhen is unique, which is better than that made by the chef of Jinling Hotel. She has her own skill in selecting ducks and her unique skill in controlling the heat.
She still cut the crispy skin and duck with a cold knife, and then simmered the duck rack in the soup, in which there were several side dishes.
A family of four had a meal, and the two children had enough to eat. They kept saying that it was delicious.
After dinner, they fell asleep in the car. Yan Ziqing drove and Xu Qizhen took a nap in the co driver's seat.
Two days later, when Xu Qizhen returned to the small West Building in the evening, she found Yan Ziqing waiting for her.
She was a little tired and said, "wait for me to take a bath."
Yan Zi nodded.
She took a bath and came out. Yan Ziqing was still in the living room, not in her bedroom.
Xu Qizhen came out a little confused and saw Yan Ziqing hand her a file bag.
"What?" Xu Qizhen was puzzled.
When I opened it, it was the deed of the shop.
She was surprised.
"I went to inquire, and then I learned that the turtle grandson of the Chen family was one of Yamamoto's suitors when he studied in Japan. He must have been bewitched and said something unpleasant." Yan Ziqing said, "I'm sorry to involve you in this matter."
Xu Qizhen took the deed and looked at it again and again.
She found that she was happy in her heart and still wanted the hotel.
She raised her eyes: "this is already a good gift, thank you."
Then she sat in his arms.
Yan Ziqing just hugged her and didn't do anything.
He had a heart knot. Xu Qizhen understood. She took the initiative to stand up and said, "it's so late. Go back to bed." Yan Ziqing regained his mind and smiled a little: "good night, you have a good rest today."
