Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 290 Today, we have reserved your store

Shen Yu looked at the sky. Indeed, it was almost noon. In another half hour, the Second Madam and the others should be here.

Shen Yu stood up and gave his seat to Yutao, telling her to fry the small twisted dough sticks in the same way, and to take them out when they turn light golden in color. After all of them are fried, fry the small twisted dough sticks with egg fillings again.

Yu Tao smiled and said, "I often help fry oil sticks in the small kitchen recently. If you mention it like that, it should be similar to frying oil sticks. Don't worry, sister."

The pork belly skewers and scallion tofu among the four dishes are dishes sold in the store every day. Shen Yu only needs to prepare the sauerkraut fish and lychee meat.

After being cooked, the lychee meat looks like red lychee balls, sweet, crispy and tender. In fact, it is a dish of fried crispy meat, and then you just need to pour the prepared sauce on it.

Take a piece of tenderloin, cut it into thick slices, then cut it into a cross shape, put it into a soup bowl, add a little salt and sweet soy sauce, and mix well.

The reason why lychee flesh is bright red is because of the addition of red yeast rice powder.

The last time Shen Yu made flower cakes for the county magistrate, he bought several edible plant dyes that can be used to color food, one of which was red yeast rice powder.

Take a small bowl, add a small spoonful of red yeast rice powder and a little water, stir well and pour into the soup bowl, so that the tenderloin is coated with a layer of red as evenly as possible.

Add starch and mix well. Once everything is mixed, you can wait to fry it in the pan.

Shen Yu placed the bowl of mixed soup on the table next to Yutao and told her to fry the pork tenderloin last.

Fry it once at low temperature first, and then fry it again when the Second Madam and others come over to serve the dish, and pour the sauce on it while it's still hot.

After listening to it, Yu Tao repeated it again for fear of making a mistake. Shen Yu smiled and said, "Right, that's how it is done. Then I'll go and make the sauce and make pickled fish."

Take a small bowl, add chopped garlic and chopped green onions, one tablespoon of sweet soy sauce, half a tablespoon of sesame oil, and appropriate amount of salt.

Mix two tablespoons of fine sugar and two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to make a sweet and sour sauce. Wait until the lychee meat is fried and pour it over the meat while it's still hot.

After Shen Yu prepared the sauce for the lychee meat, he lit another stove, put a wok on it, and prepared to make sauerkraut fish.

Zhou Dalang knew that Shen Yu was going to make pickled fish today, so Shen Yu didn't have to do anything. He had already caught a big fat grass carp, cut open its belly and scaled it, sliced ​​the fish meat, and placed it in a basin of water beside him to soak the blood.

The sauerkraut was also taken out, cut and soaked when Jiang was preparing to cook in the shop in the morning.

All Shen Yu had to do now was to cut some fresh onion segments, minced ginger, etc., and then he could start cooking directly.

Shen Yu looked at the sky and estimated that if he put the food in the pot now, the Second Madam and the others would be here by the time it was done, so it would be a good time to eat it while it was hot.

Shen Yu has made pickled fish many times, and the ingredients are all ready, so Shen Yu can make it easily.

It doesn’t take long before the fish bone soup is ready. Start stir-frying the sauerkraut, add the soup and boil for a while, then you can add the sliced ​​fish.

The soup was cooking in the pot on low heat. Shen Yu walked around the store to see if the Second Madam and the others had come over.

I want to wait until they come over before adding the fish fillets, so that the fish meat will be fresh and tender when it comes out of the pan and not overcooked.

As soon as I stood at the door of the shop, I saw a carriage driving over.

This carriage was larger than the one Shen Yu had ridden in before. It had two tall horses with shiny coats in front and bright decorations, and looked very luxurious.

When the carriage got closer, I saw a big word "Song" on the front of the carriage. I thought it must be the carriage of the Song Mansion.

Shen Yu was wondering, is it necessary to drive such a large luxury carriage to eat at a snack bar? It's not like going to a big restaurant where he needs to put on a show or anything.

The carriage stopped and seven people got off in gorgeous attire. Two of them were dressed as maids. They were Nanny Qiu and Cui'er who had come yesterday.

The other five people were all wearing long veils that covered their faces.

Shen Yu was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't it said that there were only the Second Lady and the Fourth Miss? At most there would be a Third Miss.

But why are there five people wearing veils now, and four of them are dressed prettyly, looking like young girls, as if they are a group of sisters coming to visit the store together?

Although Shen Yu was muttering to himself in his heart, he still had a calm smile on his face and waited quietly.

I saw that those people were still standing in front of the carriage, with no intention of coming forward.

However, Aunt Qiu looked unhappy and walked over with a helpless look.

Shen Yu smiled and greeted: "Madam, how are you? Are the Second Madam and the others here? The food we ordered yesterday is ready and can be served anytime."

Aunt Qiu snorted coldly, took out a purse from her bosom, and threw it into Shen Yu's arms: "Miss Shen, I don't know what kind of drug you gave our fourth young lady."

"Not only did he invite the Second Madam and the Third Miss to come for dinner, he also coaxed the two cousins ​​to come along as well."

"Here is twenty taels of silver. Please ask all the customers who are eating in your shop to leave quickly. Do not let any more customers into the shop until my wife and daughter have finished their meals."

"We have reserved your store today."

Only then did Shen Yu realize that there were two more cousins ​​coming today.

Shen Yu turned his head and looked inside the store. It was already the beginning of the morning.

It was past lunchtime, and the shopkeepers and waiters who came to have lunch every day had already finished their lunch and went back.

At this moment, the only two customers who came to the market to buy things were eating in the shop, and they looked like they were almost done eating.

Shen Yu secretly laughed in his heart: "What a grand ceremony, rich people have so much money."

She hurriedly pretended to be terrified and said, "Madam, wait a moment. I will ask the guests to leave quickly. Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

Aunt Qiu watched Shen Yu enter the store, feeling resentful in her heart. She gritted her teeth and made a secret decision: "I must talk to the old lady when I go back. I can't let the fourth young lady run away anymore."

"If this continues, this rich girl will no longer look like a quiet lady, she will soon turn into a wild boy."

"My reputation as a nanny has been ruined by this fourth young lady."

"I really don't know what's so good about this Fengnian Restaurant. Is it really that delicious?"

Shen Yu naturally didn't know why Nanny Qiu was so angry. He weighed a heavy purse in his hand, walked into the shop happily, and whispered the reason to Li.

It was of course a good thing that someone had reserved the entire theater, and Li couldn't help but smile.

Li thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about the guests. I'll go and tell the two guests to charge less money and ask them to leave quickly."

"I'll ask Sister Jiang to fillet the pickled fish. She's cooking it very well now. You can entertain these ladies."

After the two of them had discussed it, they went their separate ways.

Li put on a smiling face and walked towards the two guests, thinking about how to start the conversation appropriately.
