Chapter 482 Basil Chicken
Moreover, these plates are not sold individually. They can be customized, but they cannot be sold individually.
In this way, the reputations of these shops grew, and although their connections became increasingly close, they also got better and better.
Those old folks in the Zhao family of Qingzhou were not ignorant people. Seeing how successful Zhao Hengzhi was, they naturally came forward.
Zhao Hengzhi's grandmother smiled and took Zhao Hengzhi's hand again, "Lin'er, you are really getting better and better. Grandma didn't know you could be so powerful. It seems that our Lin'er has grown up."
Zhao Hengzhi still accepted his grandmother's teachings and words as before, but he no longer took them to heart.
Madam Shu seemed to have heard what Zhao Hengzhi said, and she babbled and reached out to take the plum cake.
Zhao Hengzhi made the plum blossom cake specially for her. It was easy to digest and not too sweet.
Then he brought another bag of lotus cakes to Dan Niangzi. Qi Ningliang's wife was so anxious that she couldn't help but said, "Uncle, uncle, where are ours?"
Zhao Hengzhi put on a wicked smile and said, "What are you two eating? Stop eating."
The two little kids burst into tears immediately, and Qi Ning'an was so scared that he covered his ears tightly, "Stop teasing them, they might cry, they cry more than the two little girls."
Zhao Hengzhi could only hand the two purses in the servant's hand behind him to Qi Dalang and Qi Erlang. He also felt that these two little guys were good at crying.
Finally, it quieted down. Qi Ning'an sighed deeply. If the noise continued like this, she would have a heart attack.
"Brother, please take them outside to play, they are so noisy." Qi Ning'an's expression was somewhat pitiful, and it seemed that he was acting coquettishly very seriously.
Qi Ningliang opened his mouth, but had no way to refute, so he could only leave the restaurant with his family again.
Zhao Hengzhi also sat down with a smile. Today was the first day of the new year, and he had to check with Qi Ning'an about the quantity of pastries for the next quarter.
In recent years, the price of his pastries has increased significantly. Apart from Qingfuju, they can only be eaten in Kyoto restaurants, so it can be considered a selling point.
However, everyone still makes their own holiday gift boxes and makes a lot of money.
The two of them quickly checked the matters for the next quarter. Qi Ning'an couldn't help but said, "Manager Zhao is making so much money now, why don't you hire an accountant? You always come to me to coordinate these matters."
Zhao Hengzhi was speechless. He and Qi Ningliang became sworn brothers two years ago, but it wasn't that he and Qi Ningliang got along very well.
It’s just that he already has a lot of business connections with Qi Ning’an, and they get along well as a group of people, so this is more convenient.
He also felt that Qi Ning'an had helped him a lot over the years, and he really treated her as his own sister.
"Then my uncle must bring some things to look after these little ones. Otherwise, I will be too busy to come out unless I have something to do."
Qi Ning'an could only nod, it made some sense.
"Let's eat at home today. Bring your sister-in-law over. Koi will be going home today. It's been so many years, and it's thanks to you that you introduced him to Master Kaiyuan. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know whether this day has come or not."
"Okay, see you tonight."
Zhao Hengzhi responded and left the restaurant. He had other things to do today and had no time to hide here and be lazy.
Qi Ning'an returned to the backyard. Qiufen had already married Tong Yiyi. They bought a small house behind the alley before the New Year. The two of them still went to restaurants and grocery stores during the day and went back home at night.
The grocery store's business was probably just so-so, and it couldn't be expanded too much. Qi Ning'an asked Tong Yiyi if he wanted to do something else. Tong Yiyi smiled and said that he was down-to-earth, and he usually had to go to the farm to help his parents.
Qi Ning'an felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he was no longer in a hurry.
Don’t we all have three meals a day anyway?
The past three years have been both leisurely and busy. Gu Qingyun and I were both busy for a while and rested for a while.
He was quite happy with himself and had visited many other provinces in the past few years. Qi Ning'an discovered that the regional differences were even greater in ancient times. The tastes could be completely different just by being separated by a mountain.
We ate, drank and had fun along the way and gained a lot.
Every time I come back from other places, there will be a lot more dishes in Kyoto restaurants, which makes many diners feel happy every time they see Qi Ningan is not in the restaurant.
Every month or so, newer and more delicious things will appear.
In his previous life, Qi Ning'an loved perilla very much. It tasted amazing whether it was made into cakes, stir-fried dishes, or pickled.
I originally thought that shiso was not easy to grow in Kyoto Prefecture because the leaves were often too small or the flavor was not that strong.
But this time when he went out, Qi Ning'an discovered a special way of growing it, which could also be done on a farm outside Beijing, so he planted a large area of it.
The newly made perilla pickled peaches, perilla pickled papayas, and perilla pickled plums are very popular. Today, since everyone is coming to eat, Qi Ning'an thought about trying perilla fried chicken.
The best thing about this ancient time was that they used big pots and firewood, which produced very strong steam, which was much better than modern electricity or gas stoves.
The firewood was crackling, and Lixia smiled when she saw it. As long as the young lady cooked by herself, there would be new dishes. It seemed that there would be new dishes to eat today. Lixia was very satisfied.
Pour a little oil into the pan, and when the oil is hot, put the chicken pieces into the pan without turning them over. After they are slightly shaped, turn them over and fry the other side.
Until both sides are golden brown, add dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry for a while, then add the prepared mushrooms and stir-fry together.
When the mushrooms are cooked and the chicken is fried just right, you can add the basil leaves.
Sure enough, after adding the dried perilla leaves, the fragrance changed, and for a moment even the guests in the front could smell it.
"Autumnal Equinox, what are you guys cooking in the kitchen right now? Give me one portion too."
A familiar customer asked Qiufen about it. He was really curious because he liked the taste of perilla.
He would order a small plate of pickled basil from this restaurant almost every time he came. It should be said that this thing, paired with wine and Xu Banshan's eloquent voice, could keep him sitting there for an entire afternoon.
Qiufen was stunned. She had never smelled this smell before, so she could only smile and respond, "Maybe our young lady is making some new dish. I'll go ask if it can be sold today."
When the diner heard that it might be a new dish, his eyes lit up even more. He loved trying the new dishes made by Miss Qi the most. He felt happy just thinking about it.
Qiufen hurried to the kitchen. It was not easy to be discovered when making new dishes on weekdays, after all, the front yard and the back yard were separated by doors and windows. But the smell of perilla was too strong and it could soon be smelled in the front yard.
