Qi Yu's visit made the atmosphere of the Shi brothers' new restaurant a lot brighter.
Not so!
Look, there are a lot of cooks and servants all huddling around there, it’s so bustling and bustling, it looks so lively.
"I'm busy today, so I won't talk about anything off-topic. Please bring me the pen and ink." Qi Yu didn't like the flattering atmosphere, so he went straight to the point.
"yes!"
After the response, someone brought over the basket of pens and ink prepared in advance, and then carefully spread the rice paper on the big table, waiting for Mr. Qi's imminent call.
Qi Yu usually wrote the inscriptions casually and superficially, but this time it was different. He seemed to pay some attention to it.
You must know that the Shi brothers were injured in Dawan because of their daughter's call. From this point alone, the Qi family owes them something.
If you owe something, you should treat it sincerely.
Therefore, this time he didn't do anything perfunctory in writing the inscription. Instead, he wrote it with a strong, straight and vigorous "Yan style". The writing was even thinner horizontally and thicker vertically, square inside and round outside, which looked quite like everyone's style.
First, write the signboard, which is the so-called naming. The only thing I saw was the name: It’s so delicious.
Isn't this too vulgar?
Qi Dalang smiled faintly and explained: "Don't you know that vulgarity means elegance? The three words 'really delicious' are simple and easy to understand. They can be the simplest and most noble among delicacies.
evaluate."
Oh, I see.
Whatever the adults say, that’s what it is, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
A group of chefs didn't care or understand, and they all praised it one after another.
continue.
Generally speaking, after the signboard is written, a couplet must be written to make it complete.
Qi Yu naturally knew this truth well. He gathered his energy and wrote with full ink: "Qiongzhou's cuisine is the best in the world, and Shi's cuisine is the best in Qiongzhou."
drink!
This cowhide! Isn’t it too exaggerated?
Not only the cooks, but also the Shi brothers, who were former thieves, couldn't help but blush, and sighed in their hearts: I don't dare to accept this high praise! I really don't dare to accept this high praise!
However, Qi Yu believes that this couplet is absolutely realistic and not self-advertising.
Why?
If you want this bullshit to be true, you have to come up with some evidence!
In this regard, Qi Yu said confidently: "Everyone, our Qiongzhou is the capital of spices, and the taste of food is not inferior to that of Jiangnan. When new ingredients are popularized in the future, and then added with chili as a seasoning, our cooking skills will definitely improve.
It’s a step up. Therefore, saying that Jiatianyi is one is definitely not a boast.”
The theory is such a theory, but in fact it is very difficult to do it.
Holding a golden mountain and still crying about poverty?
why?
"this……"
Brothers Shi, you look at me and I look at you, both of them look embarrassed.
Qi Yu asked with a confused look on his face: "If you have something to say, just say it clearly. Such hesitation will only make people more confused."
At this time, a chef who was watching interrupted and said: "When I return to Qida, we won't be able to cook those new ingredients."
After saying that, he took out a potato and put it on the table in frustration.
Is this a thing?
Qi Yu was just about to make a joke when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
These people neither open up wasteland nor farm, so where did these potatoes come from?
It was either stolen or bought, one of the two.
Therefore, Qi Yu tightened his expression and said in a cold voice: "Not long ago, I just issued an advocacy order to persuade everyone not to waste their crops, but you are cooking openly here, aren't you deliberately trying to make me look bad?
Tell me quickly, where did you get these potatoes?"
Well……
Everyone's hearts trembled when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads out of fear.
At this time, Shi Liao hurriedly stood up and said: "Master Qi, I will follow your sincere teachings all the time, and I will never forget them anytime and anywhere." Then, he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered.
Said: "These new grains were forced to be sold to me by your old lady. In terms of money payment, it is definitely a lot more."
What?
You said these crops come from our Qi family?
Shi Liao did not dare to hide this, and hurriedly recounted the whole story.
While Qi Yu listened, he thought in his mind: This matter involves his mother, how should it end?
It’s not easy to handle.
Hey! Got it!
"In this way, tomorrow morning, I will make a special announcement saying that your restaurant is authorized to use new grains for cooking. In this way, it will not be considered a violation of the advocacy order..."
What does it mean specifically?
Qi Yu explained that the purpose of planting new crops is to improve people's livelihood, and ultimately, they have to be eaten by people. However, because these new crops have just arrived, people do not understand their cooking methods at all, so they need to popularize their cooking knowledge.
It is imperative.
In view of this, the government has used the newly opened "Really Delicious" as a cooking demonstration site, where they will demonstrate the dietary techniques of new crops to the public. Its purpose is to popularize dietary knowledge and is by no means a deliberate waste of grain.
The ancients said that food is the most important thing for people. It can be seen that eating is no small matter and must be done as a serious matter.
In fact, this is indeed the case. This step must be taken sooner or later.
Now that you have planted them, you must be familiar with how to eat them, otherwise, you will make jokes like peppers, whether to steam or boil them.
Taking this opportunity, Qiyu specially popularized the cooking methods of new ingredients to the chefs.
Take potatoes as an example. You can make many dishes with just one kind.
Such as: hot and sour potato shreds, vinegar potato shreds, braised potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato vermicelli, fried potato chips; meat and vegetable mixes include potato chicken, potato duck, potato goose, potato pork belly...
Mr. Qi talked so eloquently that his own mouth watered.
The chefs listened and took notes at the same time, appearing very attentive. After putting down their pens, they counted them again, only to find that there were dozens of ways to cook a potato alone, which is definitely worthy of the title.
It is colorful and endlessly varied.
Therefore, I sighed in my heart: The art of cooking is broad and profound, and you really have to live and learn!
After the lecture, Qi Yu emphasized that what he talked about was only a theoretical basis, and it needed to be improved and supplemented in practice to slowly make it perfect.
Qi Dalang is not a chef, so he has done his best to reach this point.
…
Today, there was a gentle breeze and it was another cool and pleasant sunny day.
Qi Dalang, who was sitting at home, was making tea and sitting lazily in the yard, rocking the rocking chair and reading the newspaper, which was full of comfort and leisure.
As he gradually deepened his reading, he began to mutter words, seemingly commenting on something.
Suddenly, an eye-catching anecdote caught his eye.
The reason why it is called strange is mainly because the above is beyond common sense.
It is said that there is a little boy who is not yet four years old. He can recite the Thousand-Character Classics skillfully, even "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". What is even more jaw-dropping is that this child can not only recite
By reciting it, you can still understand it correctly, just like an adult reading.
This child's name is very common, he is Guo Chunhai.
Qi Yu thought it sounded familiar, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
In any case, the emergence of a child prodigy in Qiongzhou is an exciting and good thing. From a cultural and educational perspective, it is very positive energy.
"You are a child prodigy if you can recite classics? This standard is too low." Qi Xiao, who was watching from the side, seemed a little disdainful and said sarcastically with his little mouth pursed.
In his opinion, science in the college is the king of all schools.
"Oh? Why did my son say that?" Qi Yu turned his head and asked curiously.
"Father, you might as well take a look at my invention and then redefine a child prodigy." Qi Xiao smiled proudly and said with full confidence.
