Chapter 958 Fish head cake
Zheng Zhixue's wife is named Zhang Yunxia. After her husband returned to Bincheng, they had no job. They were embarrassed to ask for help. After a few twists and turns, they rented a storefront on the street near their homes and opened a hotel.
Seeing that the car stopped at the door, Zhang Yunxia immediately came out and greeted enthusiastically: "Johnson, do you still remember your sister-in-law?"
It was not the first time that Lin Qiangsheng saw Zhang Yunxia, and he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, hello." He looked at the store's door and asked, "The hotel is good, how is the business?"
Zhang Yunxia smiled and said, "It's okay, just be able to deal with food and clothing."
Zhong Dazhou parked the car in front, got out of the car and walked over. Zhang Yunxia also said enthusiastically: "Director Zhong is here too. Please come in quickly. Just wait for the dishes for ten minutes."
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the corner of the street. Zheng Zhixue was still missing, and said, "Let's wait for Brother Zheng, he's behind him."
Zhang Yunxia said, "Don't worry about your Brother Zheng, he went to buy beer, and I know you don't drink white wine."
Zhong Dazhou said to Lin Johnson: "Let's go in and take a seat. The shop is very good. I have eaten here a few times, and the spring cakes are well made."
Zhang Yunxia smiled and said to the two of them: "My small shop has no dishes, just spring cakes are OK. Today I will cook a few dishes for you to ensure you have a good meal!"
Lin Qiangsheng walked into the shop and saw that the inside was still open. He asked Zhang Yunxia who walked into the kitchen: "Sister-in-law... ▽et, was it rented or bought here?"
Zhang Yunxia said: "Where can I afford it? Besides, they won't sell it. I rent it for 50 yuan a month, it's too expensive!"
After a while, Zheng Zhixue arrived, holding a ball of Bincheng beer in his hand, and said to the two: "This Bincheng beer is not easy to buy, and it is only available in the store."
Zhang Yunxia showed half a figure and said, "Zhixue, put the beer in the water and cool it down. You can serve it, and the dishes will be ready soon."
Zheng Zhixue found a large basin, put all the beer in and water in it. He walked into the kitchen and said to Zhang Yunxia, "There are not many customers, so it will be closed at noon today."
Lin Qiangsheng heard Zhang Yunxia muttering, "That's fine, there aren't many guests anyway, don't affect your meals, so close the door."
Zhang Yunxia brought up some side dishes, salted peanuts, sesame oil and celery, etc., and closed the door. The room suddenly became much darker, so she had to turn on the lamp, and the yellow lamp shone on her head, brightly.
Zhang Yunxia said to Lin Johnson and Zhong Dazhou: "Johnson, you and Director Zhong will eat first. I will cook a fish and I will serve you later. Then I will make a few home-cooked dishes very quickly."
Lin Qiangsheng asked, "Sister-in-law, is the business in the store usually not good?"
Zhang Yunxia showed a shy smile and said, "It's just that. The business is neither good nor bad. Anyway, I can't make a lot of money, but I can't be hungry!" After that, she shook her head and went into the kitchen again.
Zhong Dazhou picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Lin Qiangsheng, saying, "This is not a prosperous area nearby. People come to eat, and they are all ordinary people. They are not as good as the main street. There are merchants from other places. How much money do the people have to eat outside?"
Zheng Zhixue was busy washing cups while hearing this, and did not say much. Lin Qiangsheng asked: "Brother Zheng, why not find a store on the street? You should do business as early as possible. When will such a small shop make you develop?"
Zheng Zhixue put a few cups on the table and smiled and said, "We don't expect this small shop to be developed. We just find a job for your sister-in-law to save her from being frustrated at home all day."
Zhang Yunxia leaned over and said, "Johnson, my sister-in-law also knows that she is worth it. She doesn't have that ability to open a big shop. It's a good idea to have such a small shop!"
Lin Johnson smelled the scent of fish in the air and said, "Sister-in-law, the fish you made are quite fresh, you can smell it."
He said to the couple: "There are no specialties in the hotel now, and the people don't choose, it's the best time to do business!"
Zhang Yunxia had already put the fish out and served it on the table, full of a large plate. She smiled and said, "Johnson, can you see if your sister-in-law makes fish? Your sister-in-law will make this fish, or it's just spring cakes."
Zheng Zhixue also sat down and said, "Johnson, you have an idea. It is not cheap to rent a larger store now. The stores on the street cost several hundred yuan a month. We all feel that we can't make the money back!"
Zhong Dazhou said, "You couple asked Johnson to come up with an idea, but they were looking for the right person. Many people from home and abroad can definitely help you with advice."
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the fish on the table and said, "Chinese cuisine is of great color, fragrance and flavor. There are eight major cuisines, including Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Hui cuisine. The more famous ones are Beijing cuisine, government cuisine, halal cuisine, Benbang cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Gan cuisine, Hakka cuisine, etc., and of course our Northeast cuisine."
He continued to say to Zheng Zhixue and Zhang Yunxia, who were listening with relish, "We mainly practice Shandong cuisine. Because our place is special, most of the year is winter, so the selection and ingredients are also special. We can only use local ingredients. Of course, the country has developed economic activity today, and Northeast cuisine also integrates other cuisines. In general, the cooking methods of Northeast cuisine are good at cooking, sautéing, chopping, fried, roasting, steaming, stewing, and stewing. Northeast cuisine emphasizes the generous eating and enjoying eating, so the color and flavor of the color is almost inaccessible. Because the menu is single, there are generally only two or three ingredients, and only simple seasonings such as green onions and peppers are used, so the dishes are not good."
Zhong Dazhou slapped the table and shouted, "Yes, Johnson, you're right. I've been in Huangzhou. There are people in that place who cook fine dishes, but our dishes are relatively rough!"
He smiled at the three of them and said, "Don't you like to listen to me if I say this. Although the big plate and big bowl are generous, I always feel tired of eating it. It's not as many changes as other dishes!"
Zheng Zhixue said to his wife: "You go and cook the dishes, don't let Johnson and Jockey Club wait."
Zhang Yunxia nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'll stir-fry a few more home-cooked dishes, so I'll make some steamed meat with a sharp liver, white flesh and blood sausages, and make a pot bun." She originally wanted to take another cucumber, but now she doesn't seem to be able to do it, so she might as well change to a cold dish and stir-fry some shredded meat and mix it with absolutely delicious, so she cooks it when she thinks about it.
Zheng Zhixue said to Lin Johnson and Zhong Dazhou: "Let's eat fish and drink wine first. Johnson, please tell me these things. I don't know, it's fresh!"
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, I actually thought of a dish, which is to match the cake and fish. This dish can definitely become your special dish!"
Zheng Zhixue asked curiously: "What kind of dish is it? What are the characteristics of this fish and cake?"
"The cake is here!" Zhang Yunxia served a plate of spring cakes and asked happily: "Johnson, what special dish can this cake and fish become?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said to the three of them: "This cake is not simple. The good cake is fragrant and has a head-biting taste."
He picked up a piece of spring cake and dipped it in fish soup, stuffed it into his mouth with a big mouthful, and pouted the tenderest meat under the fish gills.
Zhong Dazhou laughed and said, "Okay, you guys, I took away all the piece of meat I like the most!"
Lin Qiangsheng swallowed his stomach, nodded and said to Zhang Yunxia, "Sister-in-law, your cake is OK, and the fish is cooked to the heat."
Zhang Yunxia smiled and said, "As long as you like to eat, I will wait for my sister-in-law to pick up a few more dishes and serve you wine."
Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly said, "Wait, sister-in-law, I haven't told you the dish I want!"
Zhong Dazhou patted his thigh and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, it's so hard!"
Lin Qiangsheng said to the curious three people: "I call this dish fish head soaked cake, and I need to use a large carp head. This kind of fish is also called fat head fish in some places. Twenty or thirty kilograms of silver carp is the best, and the head can account for one-third of the body. We only use its fish head. The bigger the fat head fish, the longer the year it is, the more gummy the fish soup is made. Dip the strong cake in the fish soup and the tenderest meat on the fish head, which is so fragrant!"
He kept his saliva and said to the three of them: "That soft and smooth taste and the tender flesh, don't mention it. It's so greedy when you think about it!"
Zheng Zhixue and Zhang Yunxia asked in unison: "Is it really that delicious?"
Lin Johnson nodded repeatedly and said, "If you don't say anything else, this dish can definitely become famous as a special dish. It's not made in the country now. If you make it, it's the only one! Within two years, I guarantee that you can make a fortune and achieve a well-off life through this!"
"Fish-head soaked cake?" Zhang Yunxia was not a stupid person either. She immediately found a small book and recorded everything that Lin Johnson had just said.
"Johnson & Johnson, does the fish head cost 20 kilograms of silver carp? This kind of big fish is not easy to buy!" Zhang Yunxia asked.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "The longer the carp in the year, the better. If this dish is delicious, you can't help but have a big head and the water quality must be good, otherwise the fish must not be fresh. The cake must be well made and it is chewy and delicious. Of course, it is okay to have a small fish. The price of different years can be different, but you must clearly mark the price and be honest. Note that only the year, no matter the size!"
Zheng Zhixue touched his cheeks and said in confusion: "I just want the fish head, don't want the fish body? How wasteful."
Zhang Yunxia kidnapped her husband and said, "There are fewer silver carp than silver carp, but there are quite a lot of them. You can sell them by making a few cheap dishes."
Zheng Zhixue nodded and smiled, "Yes, I can't leave anyway, otherwise you can try it?"
Zhang Yunxia nodded and said, "Well, of course we have to try it. I think the fish-headed soaked cake that Johnson said is good, and there will definitely be someone who likes it."
Zhong Dazhou picked up the beer, poured wine glasses for the two of them, and said heroically: "In the future, you will open a shop on the main street. I will take someone to support you. You must try this fish head soak cake. Is it delicious?"
"Okay, we will welcome you warmly then!" Zheng Zhixue said with a smile on his face, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank them all. (To be continued.)
