Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 281 Sun Yubao's Secret Meeting on the River Beach (Part [-])

Jin Xi has never been someone who likes to compete with others for the limelight, but on an occasion like today, under the acquiescence of shopkeeper Xie, these stewards tried one after another to test and test them, and even Li steward pressed hard to make things difficult for her. It is necessary to go further.

Jin Xi looked at Chef Hong's pointing face, smiled faintly, shook her head, rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, taking the carp from Chef Hong's hand.Under Shopkeeper Xie's probing eyes, he put the carp on the chopping board.

With slender fingers, he measured the fish's gills back and forth a few times, then stretched out his other hand towards Chef Hong, without squinting his eyes, and ordered, "Give me the knife."

Chef Hong moved the knife in doubt, Jin Xi took the knife, shook it twice in his hand, then aimed at the place where the other finger was pressing, and gently cut a two-inch long cut, the tender white With a trace of pink fish turned over.

Jin Xi uses the back of the knife to hold down the body of the fish, and with her fingernails, finds a small white spot at the opening, and then deftly pulls it out.

Chef Hong had already stood behind Jin Xi and saw all this clearly. When he saw the fish convulsed twice again, amidst the slight squeeling sound, Jin Xi unexpectedly slid from the fish's back. Pull out a thin white thread, about the thickness of a strand of hair.

The astonishment on Chef Hong's face grew deeper and deeper, watching Jinxi follow the same pattern, he also pulled out a white silk thread from the other side of the carp and threw it aside.

"New owner, what is that?" Shopkeeper Xie looked confused: "Is this going to work?"

Jin Xi had already washed her hands carefully in the clear water beside her, and when she heard this, she smiled lightly and said with confidence: "The carp's hair is mainly in the tendons of the fish, I pumped it, not to mention all the hair, at least [-]% to [-]% It's almost the same. With Master Hong's cooking seasoning, the remaining two or three flavors will be diluted almost, so it should be fine to serve."

This characteristic of carp, which Jin Xi accidentally saw in a column about science in her previous life, is the result of modern dissection and experiments.In modern times, many chefs and housewives are aware of this common sense, but in this obscure ancient time, it is not necessarily so.

Jin Xi came to this back kitchen out of interest to watch Chef Hong handle the fish, and she also wanted to see if he had a better way besides cramps.After seeing it until now, I realized that Chef Hong probably didn't want to know the function of gluten.

Shopkeeper Xie was stunned for a moment, carp still has this kind of attention?It was the first time he heard it.Questioning eyes turned to Hong Chef at the side, and asked for confirmation: "Hong Chef, is this really the case?"

Li Guanshi was also dumbfounded. Hearing this, he sneered, shook his head and muttered: "I am very impressed. This thing is said to be tendons, but it is a tendon? In the playbook, Nezha Naohai, that stripped is the dragon of the third prince Long. Muscles, carp like this too? Hmph..."

Chef Hong was pondering over the tendons of the fish, crushing the tendons, sniffing and sniffing, looking and looking at his nose, his face was filled with surprise and joy.

Hearing this, he raised his head abruptly, and said displeasedly to Steward Li, "This time you are really an amateur, this is indeed a tendon of a carp."

After finishing speaking, he said excitedly to shopkeeper Xie, "Boss shopkeeper, the new owner's trick is really clever. I've thought about it carefully. Once the tendon is pulled out, the color of the fish will change a little." .I will process it later and bring it to the table, making sure it is suitable for all ages!"

Yeah?Shopkeeper Xie looked surprised, and nodded accordingly. He is an amateur, and Chef Hong can tell it, but he may not.However, he trusted Chef Hong's words very much, he was an experienced expert!
He took a deep look at Jinxi's body, it seems that Wendong's family chose, and he is not a pure layman, at least he has some ability in food and drink.

Chef Hong strode into the kitchen, steamed the carp in a pan, then turned around and walked out quickly.

"New owner, my old Hong is 35 years old. I kneel down, kneel down, kneel down, kneel down to my parents, and master. I have never knelt down before anyone else." Cook Hong faced Jinxi, his face flushed red, and he said with a serious look: "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, I, Old Hong, will kneel and kowtow to you!"

Shopkeeper Xie frowned. Even if he loses, he can't really make Lao Hong kneel down. After all, this new owner is still young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to forgive others?How does this make the boss dominate the overall situation?

Here, Jin Xi had just washed her hands, when she saw that Cook Hong was about to kneel down, she didn't stop her, but she gave A Cai a look not far away.

Ah Cai rushed over with a few strides, and grabbed Chef Hong who had already knelt down.

"Brother, get out of the way. My old man Hong stands upright, and I will do what I say!" Cook Hong wanted to push Ah Cai away, but unfortunately, Ah Cai's skills were not what he said he could push away, so there He blushed like Zhang Fei.

"Master Hong, although you say you are willing to bet and admit defeat, it is only natural for you to kneel down. But I remember that I didn't seem to promise to bet with you, so you don't need to kneel and kowtow to me." Jin Xi took out a handkerchief and wiped it lightly With each finger, a gentle smile said.

Shopkeeper Xie's frown slowly faded away, and he nodded secretly.

Chef Hong was taken aback for a moment, his cheek muscles twitched twice, he took a step back, bowed to Jinxi with both hands clasped fists, and said harshly: "Then thank you Hong family for your compassion!"

Jin Xi smiled faintly, and looked around at the stewards and shopkeeper Xie in front of him, each of them had a surprised expression on their faces, and shopkeeper Xie was more surprised than he was surprised.

Jin Xi glanced around and finally landed on Li Guanshi. Li Guanshi tried his best to shrink his short and fat body behind the shopkeeper and others, but Jin Xi still called his name.

Jin Xi wiped her fingers nonchalantly, and asked with a half smile but not a smile: "It's you, Guan Li, who has watched and listened to me now, I don't know how much you have to test and give advice to my new boss? "

"Guard Li, the new boss is asking you something, what do you look like? Stand up and answer!" Shopkeeper Xie turned his head and shouted at the disheveled Manager Li behind him.

Li Guanshi hesitated and moved out, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he said with a smile: "What is the boss talking about, I am a small manager of procurement, how dare I ask my boss for advice."

Jin Xi raised her eyelids and glanced at him, with a sneer on her lips.

"You still don't dare? Then what were you talking about earlier, and what were you doing?" Finally, Cook Hong couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at Guanshi Li.

Li Guanshi glared at Chef Hong, then at Shopkeeper Xie with a gloomy face in front of him, he took a few steps forward to apologize to Jin Xi and said with a smile: "New boss, that's what I said, nothing else .I blame my mouth for not being able to speak, I should hit it!"

As he said that, Guanshi Li raised his hand and really patted his cheek twice.

Cook Hong became stubborn and wanted to speak, but Jin Xi raised her hand to stop him.With a faint smile, he said, "I was joking with Manager Li, and you don't have to. The development of the restaurant requires everyone's concerted efforts, mutual trust and support, and it is more conducive to the long-term cause of the restaurant than mutual suspicion and attack." Thank you shopkeeper, do you think what I said is reasonable?"

Shopkeeper Xie was immersed in his own thoughts, when he came back to his senses, he glanced at the ashamed Steward Li and the stewards beside him with complex expressions, and finally took a deep look at Jin Xi, nodded heavily, Said: "What the new owner said is absolutely true!"

When Jin Xi returned to the Qianlixiang shop in Xiaobeimen with a thick stack of account books, it was already sunset, and the hawkers along the road were all preparing to close their stalls and go home.

In Qianlixiang's shop, it ushered in the peak period of meal passenger flow.

Sun Dahu and Sun Yuxia, one is serving the barbecue grill at the entrance of the shop, and the other is inside the shop, quickly serving food and vegetables to the customers. Among the customers who come to eat, most of them are peddlers, and the food is a combination of meat and vegetables. fast food.

When Jin Xi brought A Cai and four people into the shop, it was just in time for this scene. A Fu and A Gui went outside to help Sun Dahu, and A Cai and Wang helped Sun Yuxia run the hall and clean up the dishes.

Jin Xi rolled up her sleeves to help, Sun Yuxia felt sorry for her exhaustion of the day, and pushed her to rest in the backyard desperately.

"You woke up so early in the morning, and the under eye circles are dark, go back to the room to catch up on sleep, and I will call you after dinner!" Sun Yuxia urged.

Are your eye circles dark?Jin Xi rubbed her temples, said with a smile, "I'm really not used to sleeping at this moment, auntie, where is my uncle? Why don't you see others?"

"Oh, you said Yubao, she went out after lunch, said she had an appointment with a friend today to talk about something, and she hasn't come back yet!"

"Friend?" Jin Xi's eyes lit up, could it be the girl who likes to block people with a whip?Jin Xi's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Look at your housekeeper, tsk tsk, if you really can't sleep, go out and find your uncle! Let me tell you, he probably went to the river bank of the moat in the north of the county seat!" Sun Yuxia gave the guests free Vegetable egg drop soup, turned back and whispered to Jin Xi.

"Auntie, I'm afraid you are also in a hurry, so you sent me out to spy on the military situation?" Jin Xi saw through Sun Yuxia's mind at a glance, and smiled.

Sun Yuxia squeezed Jinxi's face and said, "Stop talking nonsense, go ahead, let Ah Cai follow you, Ah Wang stay and help me, you go and return early, if the river beach is not found , come back quickly!"

"Hey, okay!" Jin Xi responded crisply, called Ah Cai and the two of them went out of the shop together, and walked towards the moat to the north.

Starting from Xiaobeimen, go to the moat in the north. If you take the main road, you have to go up the North Street and go straight to the north. It looks like two or three miles.Go through the alley behind Qianlixiang, and you can go around to one end of the river beach within two small alleys, saving a lot of distance.

Jin Xi and A Cai walked through the alley one after the other, and they came to the river beach after a while.
