Ai Cao and Qing Kui looked at each other and nodded silently.

The two of them understood each other and took a chopstick into their mouths.

Fishy, ​​astringent, bitter...

The three flavors quickly gathered in the mouth, mixing into an indescribable taste that went straight to the Tianling Cap, making Mugwort and Qingkui shed tears immediately.

"Why, this food is so delicious that you are crying with joy?" Zheng Mingyuan said with a smile on his face.

Ai Cao and Qing Kui became masks of pain and did not even bother to answer Zheng Mingyuan.

"Most people are not used to eating this Houttuynia cordata, so it is inevitable that you will find it intolerable." Su Yujin said, "Go and rinse your mouth quickly, eat some sesame seed cakes and press it down."

Wormwood and Qingkui hurriedly looked for a corner and spit out the Houttuynia cordata that they had chewed in their mouths. They rinsed their mouths with the help of Zeng Dayong, and then ate half of the sesame seed cakes in their hands in one go. Only then did they feel the taste in their mouths.

The strange smell has dissipated a lot.

But there was still a strange smell inside, making the two of them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Eat some preserved eggs, you can press them a little." Su Yujin said, "This stuff is like stinky tofu. It looks ugly, but it's actually very delicious."

Songhua eggs?

The name is quite unique.

Seeing that Su Yujin was so sure about eating, Mugwort and Qingkui each took a piece to eat.

When I first took it into my mouth, I felt that the taste was a bit strange, but after chewing it for a while, I felt that the mellow taste gradually spread and the aroma slowly emerged.

And this kind of aroma has a strong aftertaste. If you eat too much in one go, you will probably feel a little greasy. However, the sauce contains vinegar and minced garlic, which almost completely neutralizes the mellow aroma and makes the preserved eggs taste delicious.

You have to eat it a hundred times without getting tired of it.

"It turns out that this kind of egg is called Songhua Egg." Zheng Mingyuan mused, "I saw someone pickling it before, and I just said that it was a pickled duck egg that was accidentally made. Although it tastes good, it doesn't have a good name. Speaking of Songhua

This word is quite unique, but what’s the meaning?”

"It doesn't mean anything, but Uncle Zheng looks at the flowers condensed on the egg white. They look like pine flowers." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"That's true." Zheng Mingyuan nodded, "How about these two dishes of charcoal-grilled pig's trotters and Diaochan tofu?"

"The charcoal-grilled pig's trotters are roasted at an excellent temperature, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is also excellent. If you take out such charcoal-grilled pig's trotters, it will definitely be recognized by others. But if I make it, the pig's trotters will be cut in the middle.

Open it, add some soy flour, crushed peanuts and sauce, the taste will probably be better."

"Diaochan tofu is stewed with excellent flavor, full of fragrance, and the soup is extremely delicious. This dish tastes delicious. If I were to make it, I would be lucky to be able to reach the level of Uncle Zheng. I can't fault it."

What's the shortcoming?"

Seeing that Su Yujin's attitude was very sincere, and every sentence he said was very specific, and what he wanted to say was the truth, Zheng Mingyuan smiled and nodded at Su Yujin, "What you said is audible."

"Eat quickly, especially more of this." Zheng Mingyuan moved the plate of Houttuynia cordata to Su Yujin complacently, "I spent a lot of effort to get it so fresh. The taste is the most authentic.

Woolen cloth."

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin thanked her, but her chopsticks did not touch the Houttuynia cordata at all.

This thing is really not something that most people can afford, and she is no exception!

The entire table of dishes, except for the Houttuynia cordata dish, all the other dishes taste wonderful.

It can basically be seen that Zheng Mingyuan's cooking skills are really nothing to say.

Su Yujin, who has a picky taste, can be said to be satisfied with the food, and mugwort and green kuih are full of praise.

After all the dishes and chopsticks were put away, Zeng Dayong brought tea. Zheng Mingyuan took a sip and glanced at Su Yujin, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Sure enough, I couldn't hide it from Uncle Zheng." Su Yujin said with a smile, "To be honest, I opened Su Ji's food shop on the street, and the business was not bad. Now I have saved some money, and I am thinking of opening another one in the county.

I've already looked at a restaurant and the location is pretty much the same, but I haven't found a suitable chef yet."

"A few days ago, Brother Feng went to the store to sell these Thirteen Incenses. I saw that the ingredients of these Thirteen Incenses were very good and mixed with ground powder. After asking about it, I learned that it was made by his master, so I guessed that Brother Feng

My master must be a good cook, so I will try my best to meet you, Uncle Zheng, to see if you are willing to be the chef of my restaurant?"

"Being a chef." Zheng Mingyuan smacked his lips, "Speaking of which, I haven't cooked for others for some years. The last time I cooked for guests was seven years ago."

Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to hire me to be the chef in your restaurant. How much is the price?"

"Uncle Zheng will be given 30% of the profit from the restaurant each month," Su Yujin said.

"Thirty percent silver, it sounds like a lot." Zheng Mingyuan asked again, "What else is there?"

"In terms of kitchen management and dishes, Uncle Zheng's wishes shall prevail." Su Yujin answered again.

Zheng Mingyuan raised his eyebrows this time, "Leave it all to me, don't you worry? My temper and temper are not very good. Aren't you afraid that I will make the kitchen a mess and the dishes will be cooked in a mess?"

"There are specialties in the art, and Uncle Zheng will definitely not disappoint in this aspect." Su Yujin replied with a smile, "Besides, Uncle Zheng wants to get 30% of the silver from the restaurant, so he will definitely make the restaurant as convenient as possible, and Zheng

Uncle, there is no need to trick me just for the sake of tricking me. Uncle Zheng, can you tell yourself whether this is the case?"

"That's true." Zheng Mingyuan nodded, "The little girl is not old, so she can see things clearly."

Zheng Mingyuan squinted his eyes, with a sly look in his eyes, "But he is brave enough."

Being able to use him as a chef is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"Everything will overwhelm the bold and starve the timid. If you want to make money, you have to take some risks. There is no reason to take full advantage." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"That's the truth." Zheng Mingyuan patted his thigh and laughed loudly, "I'm just saying these words to you. I'll be here when you call me when you open the restaurant."

Su Yujin was overjoyed, "Then we have an agreement?"

"There's no problem with signing or stamping, but if you're in front of your eyes..."

Zheng Mingyuan chuckled, "Now I want to try to make a pot of stew to eat. You have to help me. That kid Dayong's hands and feet are really stupid and are completely useless."

Zeng Dayong, "..."

Is there any master who says this about his disciples?

Su Yujin agreed to help Zheng Mingyuan with the braised food, and called Qing Kui and Mugwort to help deal with the pig waste.

The raw materials for braised pork are mainly pig intestines and pig lungs, both of which are difficult to clean.

Both need to be cleaned repeatedly with plant ash, salt, rice wine, vinegar, etc., especially pig intestines. It is best to wash both the inner and outer walls clean.

After these two items were washed, Zeng Dayong lit the stove fire and Zheng Mingyuan picked up the big iron spoon.
