Ye Jiayao’s unabashed praise and sincere expression made Madam Rong’s face hot. She went to Heaven Residence and saw the dishes developed by Ye Jiayao spontaneously. Such imagination and creativity were just what she lacked, as well as the skill of cooking carvings revealed by Ye Jiayao yesterday. It was breathtaking. Madam Rong rarely admired anyone, but she admired this young woman without reason.
Heroes cherished heroes, masters cherished masters, and two people talked about cooking skills. They were very speculative and inspired each other.
Ye Jiayao always wanted to make western food, but she just felt the time was not ripe. After all, she was not sure whether the Chinese taste could accept western food, so she always focused on occupying the position of Chinese food first. Mrs. Rong mentioned plain food and thick soup just now, which suddenly gave birth to the idea.
Madam Rong was also very interested in Ye Jiayao’s proposal. They just started working together in the small kitchen of the training course to make this so-called western food.
Because the students had to practice every day, the ingredients in the training course were still well prepared.
Beef was ready – made. Ye Jiayao took a piece of meat in the waist, which was the most tender meat in beef. It had less marbled fat, more lean meat and low fat content. People who were afraid of fat and liked to eat steak were the best choice. Roasting the steak until it was medium-rare would give off the aroma of butter, and the meat would be tender and juicy and delicious.
She cut the loins into two pieces of moderate thickness, adjusted them to heart shape, and marinated them with various seasonings for about 30 minutes.
Then Ye Jiayao began to make tomato sauce again, she boiled five big tomatoes to make a thick tomato juice and mixed it into the flavor she needed.
Then, Ye Jiayao picked up two purple radishes and started carving them. The purple radishes were a little good, with ultraviolet and white inside, and carved with skin. The carved flowers had purple lace and were naturally transitional in color and very beautiful. The green leaves carved from cucumbers were pleasing to the eye.
The preparatory work ahead was the most basic and plain, and the real skill lied in frying.
She poured oil into the pan until the oil temperature was hot enough, then added beef and fry.
Without modern cooking equipment, everything depended on experience and the control of the temperature. One more point was too old, too few and too raw. People of this age couldn’t even accept steak that they could still see blood. Moreover, if the temperature was not well controlled, it was likely that the outer layer was burnt and the inside was still raw.
Of course, this difficulty was nothing to Ye Jiayao.
Madam Rong was also concentrating on cooking her mushroom soup. Ordinary mushroom soup became different in her hands.
Soon, the smell of beef and thick soup floated out of the kitchen, and the students who had originally devoted themselves to the practice in the big kitchen all left their jobs smelling the fragrance and quietly lay down at the window of the small kitchen to watch two top chefs cook, one by one with their mouths open, all quick to admire the saliva.
A moment later, two plates of steak were freshly baked.
The shape of love, doused with red tomato juice, and then placed with carved radish flowers, cucumber leaves, and lace made of cucumbers, and then accompanied by a bowl of thick soup carefully cooked by Madam Rong. The fragrance made people admire insects, and the shape and color were so gratifying.
” How?” Ye Jiayao was very satisfied with the western steak made by this cooperation.
” It looks good. Do you really mean that Western barbarians eat like this?” asked Madam Rong.
” They eat more complex than this, plus drinks, wine, toast, and various snacks. However, this is the main part,” Ye Jiayao said.
Madam Rong’s heart was dark sigh, no wonder Shopkeeper Ye’s creativity was so strong that she turned out to be well informed.
” Come and have a try. I have also been a vegetarian for several years. Today I will start eating meat.” Mrs. Rong went to get chopsticks.
Ye Jiayao said with a smile, ” You can’t eat this with chopsticks.”
She said she had taken two knives, but unfortunately there were no forks. Ye Jiayao wondered whether she would order some knives and forks.
As the tools were not complete, Ye Jiayao had to fight with the spoon.
After tasting the appetizing mushroom soup, Ye Jiayao was stunned by its unique delicacy.
Due to professional ethics, when Madam Rong was making soup, she didn’t mean to look at it carefully, but now she couldn’t help asking, ” How is this soup made? I think you only use mushrooms, bean sprouts and so on.”
Madam Rong smiled: ” Secret recipe, but if you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Wow, so generous, she was willing to teach her the secret recipe. Ye Jiayao was so excited, beaming and nodding.
Madam Rong also began to taste beef, learning Ye Jiayao, holding a spoon in her left hand to press the steak, and holding a knife in her right hand to cut small pieces of beef. This kind of fresh eating style was not well used, and the steak on the plate always gave people a worry about flying out.
Fortunately, the steak was tender enough, the texture was thin, and without a well full of tenacity, everything was cut open.
Ye Jiayao looked eagerly at Madam Rong and wondered if she was used to eating her steak, although she thought her steak was definitely more delicious than those of the big western restaurants.
Madam Rong carefully tasted it and nodded, ” The meat is fresh and tender, and it tastes delicious enough. it’s very special with the sweet and sour flavor of tomato juice …”
Uh … was that all? Ye Jiayao wanted more than the evaluation of the word ” special”.
Madam Rong cut another piece and put it in her mouth. The more she chewed, the more tasty she could not help nodding and praising it: ” Yes, it’s good, it tastes fragrant, tender and smooth. I don’t think it’s too fat to eat this one. I think it’s all right.”
Ye Jiayao’s eyes shone: ” Really?You’re not afraid of hitting me, are you?”
Madam Rong said earnestly, ” I seldom eat meat, but I think I can easily consume this steak.”
Yes, Ye Jiayao cheered from the bottom of her heart. Did this mean another way to make money?
How about opening a western restaurant?It was said that western food was the way westerners ate it and that western aristocrats could enjoy. Would everyone flock to it and introduce it as fashion?
Together with Ye Jiayao’s thoughts, a complete plan formed when a steak was finished.
Rumble … Rumble…
Uh … what sound?
Ye Jiayao and Madam Rong looked outside the window. She walked over and opened it.
The window was suddenly opened, and the people outside were shocked, some fell down, some wanted to run, but the shoes were trampled. Suddenly, the outside was sprawled, but everyone reacted quickly and got up and ran away.
Ye Jiayao lost her laugh. It turned out that these guys were watching.
Madam Rong also saw it and said with a smile, ” It seems that the smell of steak has attracted them.”
Ye Jiayao politely said, ” It should be the smell of thick soup that attracts them …”
After all this ordeal, it was getting late. Ye Jiayao remembered that Chunyu was almost down.
Hurriedly leaving, Mrs. Rong sent her out. It happened that Chunyu came to pick her up and he had to have a few commonplaces with Mrs. Rong.
Madam Rong watched the young couple leave in the carriage, thinking slightly and unconsciously with envy. Nowadays, such loving couples were rare, recalling that she also lived a happy life like immortal couples when her husband was still alive.
Xia Chunyu had already found oil stains on Ye Jiayao’s mouth, but Mrs. Rong was there, and Mrs. Rong also said nothing. When he got into the carriage, he took out a handkerchief to wipe Ye Jiayao’s mouth.
” You open a small stove?”
Ye Jiayao embarrassed to allow him to wipe her mouth and wipe away the evidence. She soon forgot the embarrassment and said excitedly, ” Chunyu, I want to open a shop again.”
Xia Chunyu was startled: ” No, it isn’t long before your dessert shop is opened. You want to open a new store again. Are you not busy?”
He didn’t want her to be so busy. He might as well take good care of her body when she was free. They already had shares in farms, Heaven Residence, pastry houses, dessert houses and mines. He himself had some scattered income. This year was the input, and next year, the output would far exceed the input, and the returns would be generous. They were not short of money.
Ye Jiayao now had a lot worryings: ” Come here busy!” In fact, it is a little hard in the early days. If it isn’t for entertaining the ladies, I won’t have to go to the dessert house.”
” But now you have enough people?Zhong Xiang has already had enough effort to manage the Heavenly Residence. Jiang Yue has to charge pastry house and dessert house. It is also very hard to run on both sides. Deng Haichuan is still in Prince Yu Mansion. Cui Dongpeng and Wang Mingde cannot be alone after all. You should cultivate your assistants first, and don’t squeeze out all the capable cadres and run too hard for others.
Ye Jiayao was splashed with cold water, and the heat also dropped. Yes, she had her own hand, and the available manpower was not enough. Zhong Xiang and Jiang Yue worked so hard this year. Although she gave the corresponding treatment, they should also take into account the affordability of others. Don’t make these two people delay even life-long events. Auntie Jiang had something to show and hoped that Zhong Xiang would come to visit relatives early.
” Well, it’s not mentioned in advance. Next year, there’s still work to be done.” Ye Jiayao sighed helplessly.
Forget it, money couldn’t be earned.
Xia Chunyu listened to her without mentioning it. He was about to breathe a sigh of relief and was dazed by the next sentence.
” What are you busy with?”
” Food Festival!I think Lu Xiaotian forgets, but today he asks Duan Qilin to send a message to hold the first food festival at the beginning of next month. This is a good opportunity. I have to prepare well. How can I say that I am now the number one in Jin Lin’s catering industry? It can’t be too bad and make people laugh? ” Ye Jiayao said seriously.
At the beginning of next month, Xia Chunyu’s eyebrows puckered irretrievably.
Was this the right time?
Ye Jiayao’s thoughts quickly switched from western restaurant to food festival, which would be discussed at a meeting tomorrow. Today, she had to think about it. She didn’t notice the thoughtful look of the people around her.
