19. Chapter 19 Chef Zhang’s affirmation

Author: Next door Lao Huang 007

There are nearly eighty miles from Songjiazhuang to the county seat, which is a bit far by walking. As usual, Jinbao first walked from the village to the town, and before the seed row, he spent two cents to catch a mule cart back to the county seat.

.

The mule cart was much faster than the ox cart, so in less than an hour, Jinbao was standing in front of the Desheng Restaurant.

Desheng Restaurant is located on Hongwu Street in the center of the county. Although it is not the largest restaurant in the county, the owner who can open a restaurant on Hongwu Street naturally has connections and money.

Aunt Li's man is Song Ting, a well-known bricklayer in the town. Now his eldest son Yuanbao is following him to learn this craft. The second son Jinbao still spent money and entrusted talents to be sent to Desheng Restaurant to do it.

Apprentice's.

Jin Bao was an apprentice in the kitchen. He was willing to endure hardships, even peeling potatoes for a day, without any dissatisfaction or slacking off. After working in the kitchen for two months, he was chosen as an apprentice by a pastry chef in a restaurant.

The master's surname is Zhang, and he has a daughter but no children, so he treats him as a half-child and treats him very well. He also respects the master. Today, Jinbao wanted to come to talk to the master first, but he didn't expect to rush to the master's house.

I have something to do, I have to go to work tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Chef Zhang tasted the melon seeds that Jinbao brought back. It was indeed the best tasting food he had ever tasted.

"The taste is fragrant, fresh and sweet, and there is no moist or burnt taste like fried melon seeds sold in the market. I smashed some and my mouth and tongue didn't feel dry."

Chef Zhang reached out to pick through the melon seeds again and said: "The melon seeds are uniform in size, thick and full, and have no impurities. There are also very few empty shells and seeds. It looks like they have been carefully selected!"

Chef Zhang is full of praise for his experience as a chef for many years.

Jinbao repeated Yiren's evaluation of roasted seeds and nuts to Chef Zhang. Of course, he didn't mention the use of river sand for roasted seeds and nuts.

"Hey! Look at my memory!" Jinbao slapped his head and remembered that Song Yiren had written the note. He was so excited that he forgot such an important thing! Jinbao took out the piece of yellow paper.

Chef Zhang’s ancestors have been chefs for several generations, and his family is relatively wealthy, so he can naturally read. The note read:

Types of roasted seeds and nuts: Jiudenglian melon seeds, pumpkin melon seeds, pecans, golden chestnuts, peanuts, etc. can all be used.

Advantages of Yiren roasted seeds and nuts:

1. Crispy and mellow, with a sweet aftertaste.

Second, they are large, bright in color, and full of grains.

Third, the shell is thin and easy to crack, and the dryness and humidity are just right, making it less likely to dry out the mouth.

"You just said that this was made by a woman? Was the note written by that woman?" Chef Zhang read the note and asked Jinbao.

"Yes, she is the sister next door. She is married and her name is Song Yiren." Jinbao explained truthfully.

After hearing this, Chef Zhang couldn't help but look at the note in his hand, wondering in his heart: Although there are a few errors in the words on this note, this word... is wide horizontally and vertically, and as thin as a gossamer in the middle, very

Smart and elegant, but without losing... strength... The note is so rare, and this fried food is even rarer.

What a rare person! Chef Zhang sighed in his heart.

In fact, Song Yiren writes about Slim Gold Body. She likes Slim Gold Body very much, so she has worked hard in modern times, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, so naturally she has some experience in Slim Gold Body.

But there was no such font in this era, so Chef Zhang didn't know about it, he just thought it looked good.

Chef Zhang used to work as a pastry chef in a theater, and then came to Desheng Restaurant. Naturally, he knows that roasted seeds and nuts are only found in places where the cost is relatively high, or where dignitaries come and go. That’s because roasted seeds and nuts of average quality are not available.

It is popular, but good quality is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Now since the quality of the roasted seeds and nuts is good and the price is right, it is perfect! He has some authority to purchase supplies and can pay the money without having to mention it to the shopkeeper. So he immediately told Jinbao: "Jinbao, today is the 15th and the restaurant is busy.

, you go back to the village tomorrow and see if you can bring back fifty kilograms the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow, if you can, you will come back tomorrow!"

"That's right! Master!"

"The restaurant will have a trial sale first, and if there are any other roasted seeds and nuts she mentioned, I'll buy three to five kilograms of each!"

"Okay! Master, there is an uncle in our village who sells vegetables on this street. I asked him to bring a message back to Sister Yiren and ask him to prepare it in advance!" He said as he ran out.

Aunt Li didn't tell Jinbao where Yiren was selling cakes, so Jinbao could only place his hope in Uncle Qing.

"Slow down, you're so old and still dumb!" Chef Zhang stood at the door and shouted with a smile.

The vegetable seller Jinbao was talking about was Uncle Qing. He ran to Hongwu Street in a hurry, but he couldn't find anyone. After asking people, he found out that Uncle Qing had just left, and Jinbao ran after him. Uncle Qing was chasing

Bullock carts are much slower.

Seeing the butt of Uncle Qing's car in front of him, Jinbao let go of his voice and shouted: "Uncle Qing! Uncle Qing! Stop!"

Uncle Qing looked back and said, "Hey, isn't this the second son of the Song Ting family?" He quickly stopped the car.

Jinbao caught up with his uncle, but he saw Song Yiren in the car at a glance. He was out of breath from running and could only hold his knees to breathe heavily.

"Second son of the Ting family, do you want to go back to the village?" Uncle Qing said with a smile. "It's okay, don't be in a hurry, just calm down and talk!"

"Uncle, I won't go back. Please bring a message to my mother." Jin Bao was cautious, fearing that bringing a message to Song Yiren would cause unnecessary trouble to her, and he was also afraid that she would fry melon seeds.

His craftsmanship was exposed, and he knew that the Ma family across the street from his own house was not a good person, especially the Zheng family. So he only sent a message to his mother, thinking that she would understand after hearing it.

"Let's just say melon seeds... they cost fifty... fifty kilograms. If you have the rest... I'll give you three or five kilograms. I'll go back and get them tomorrow... tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest!" He panted for a while before saying.

"Why do you need so many melon seeds?" Uncle Qing became curious. These are either high-quality ones that rich people pick up and eat, or they are cheap but not very tasty, and ordinary people don't eat them.

Jinbao was still not very good at lying, so he could only dress roughly and wave his hands to indicate to Uncle Qing that he could not catch his breath before running.

Uncle Qing didn't ask any more questions. He just promised to bring the message and drove the bullock cart on his way!

After listening to Jin Bao's words, Song Yiren suddenly understood: The fried melon seeds have been approved by the restaurant, and the next step is to see the effect of the "test marketing" of the fried seeds!

I just feel crispy and mellow, with a sweet aftertaste.

Crispy and sweet, delicious and not irritating

Big, good quality, less impurities, good color, full particles

The melon seeds are large and uniform, thick and plump, with just the right dryness and humidity. There is no damp or burnt smell like the fried melon seeds sold on the market, and there are no impurities, and there are very few empty shells and seeds.
